The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]
Chapter 45 [Chapter 51]
When the breeze fell into the hall, the remaining lamps were blown out by the wind.
The bright moon hanging high in the night sky scattered white mist-like silver light into the bedroom floor.
The night in autumn is already a bit chilly, and when the gauze tent shakes slightly, the embracing figures can be vaguely seen moving.
But at this moment Liu Mei'er felt very hot, and her cheeks were extremely red.
Sister Dai seems a little too enthusiastic tonight.
Sister Dai, who had come out of the carriage earlier, had a serious expression on her face, so that Liu Meier didn't dare to approach her.
The messy clothes piled up in the corner looked a little wrinkled and pitiful, and the scattered blue hair of the two people was entangled in one place, and they could not be distinguished from each other.
"Is Mei'er so scared?" Jiang Changdai felt that the person in her arms was very stiff, so she just teased her briefly, and didn't dare to really want her.
"En." Liu Meier came back to her senses, curled up her hands and feet cautiously, and didn't dare to look at Sister Dai beside her.
Jiang Changdai lowered her head and kissed her timid eyes, the eyes were full of desire that she had never had before, she reached out and took Liu Meier's hand and guided her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Meier, come and try it on me." Try it."
How could Liu Meier's heart not be moved by such gentle words that were almost begging.
"Yeah." Liu Meier was so shy that she didn't dare to speak out.
Compared to Jiang Changdai, Liu Meier is a fiery ball, and because her hands don't practice swords, there are no calluses, and the palms are very fleshy.
Inside the veil was a little dark and tight, Liu Meier was pressed tightly in her arms, she was clumsy and didn't know how to comfort her, she was completely passive, her ears were filled with sister Dai's rapid breathing sound which was different from before, and she was even more nervous with red face. .
When Liu Meier hadn't come to her senses, sister Dai suddenly let out a deep sigh, and her whole body slowly relaxed like a bowstring.
The shaky gauze tent gradually returned to calm, and when Liu Meier saw sister Dai's pink and pink face stained with a thin layer of sweat, she boldly kissed her secretly.
When the cold laughter sounded, Liu Meier turned her head shyly, her whole body was like a boiled shrimp.
"I kissed you just now, why are you embarrassed now?" Jiang Changdai slightly propped herself up so as not to press her down, and instead lay on her side and wrapped her in her arms and asked, "Are you tired?"
Liu Meier had nowhere to escape and could only obediently respond: "A little bit."
Seeing that she had finished answering, Jiang Changdai yawned sleepily like a kitten, and said with a smile on her face, "Are you so tired?"
"Actually, it's not bad." Liu Meier responded bravely by blinking her moist eyes.
"Forget it, that's all for today." Jiang Changdai knew that she was busy on the road, so naturally she couldn't be too tired.
What's more, with Liu Meier's shy personality, it would be inappropriate to act too hastily.
If it doesn't work, I will teach her slowly in the future.
"Meier, do you want to take a bath together?" Jiang Changdai propped herself up and sat up, showing her slim figure in front of her eyes, and asked gently and movingly.
Liu Meier shyly grabbed the quilt and covered her head, "I'll go later."
In fact, I'm still a little tired.
"Ok."
When Jiang Changdai came out of the bath, there was still no movement in the gauze tent, and the lamp lit on the bed illuminated a corner, making it especially quiet.
The person lying on the bed was so sound asleep that he had no intention of waking up.
It seems that he can only take care of her by himself.
When the sky was dim and bright, the palace people in the Princess Mansion got busy early, but the palace people outside the bedroom hadn't made any movement yet.
The burnt lamps have been extinguished, the sunlight from the windows illuminates the hall, and the gauze curtains also cast mottled light and shadows.
When Jiang Changdai woke up slowly, the person next to the pillow was buried in his neck, breathing steadily and showing no sign of waking up.
"Meier, wake up." Jiang Changdai ran through her long hair between her fingers, put her palm close to her cheek, and lowered her head to kiss the sleeping person with pouting lips earnestly.
"Hmm..." Liu Mei'er vaguely felt that she couldn't breathe, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she realized that the room was already full of light.
The gauze curtain was tied up on one side, Jiang Changdai put her hand into her arms and said, "Are you awake?"
Liu Meier replied shyly, "Yes."
Jiang Changdai slid her fingertips from her cheek to the corner of her lips and said, "If you don't wake up, I should worry if you were too tired last night?"
These words were too straightforward, when Liu Meier's eyes flashed the scene of her lingering with Sister Dai last night, her entire face and neck turned red.
"No, not tired."
"Then do you want to get up now?" The officials will have a holiday on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Jiang Changdai naturally doesn't have to go to court, "If you don't have breakfast at this time, you should have lunch later, is Meier hungry?"
Liu Meier lay on the side of the soft pillow and her eyes drooped in response: "I'm hungry."
Although I was still a little sleepy, my stomach couldn't help growling.
Jiang Changdai stood up and reached out to rub her face and said, "Then get up and eat."
"Ah."
When she was fully dressed, Jiang Changdai saw the still uninspired human and said, "I'm really sleepy, why don't I sleep for a while?"
It seems that she was tired last night.
"I'm not sleepy, I should go back to Yacheng in the afternoon, and then..." I don't have time to spend more time with Sister Dai.
Liu Mei'er blushed and tied her clothes on her own, not ashamed to say the rest.
After all, we just met, so if she is so clingy, will sister Dai not like it?
Jiang Changdai could guess what she was thinking when she saw how much she hesitated to speak, and her heart was warm and pityed her for her thoughtfulness and obedience.
If I had known that I wouldn't have bothered her last night, her eyes were still pale blue now.
When the palace people came in to wait for the wash, Liu Mei'er twisted the handkerchief and wiped her face, and her whole body was quite sober.
On a rare sunny autumn morning, the softness was already full of light, Liu Meier was sipping soup dumplings, and was very quiet for a while.
Jiang Changdai saw that she had already eaten up the small plate of soup dumplings, so she asked the palace servants to add another one for her.
"If Meier likes it, how about bringing the cook who made the soup dumplings back to Shore City?" Jiang Changdai doesn't eat much in her current grade.
"Ahem...!" Liu Meier stopped with her cheeks slightly puffed up, her eyes were red with pain from biting her tongue, and she said in a low voice, "Don't bother."
Could it be that I ate too much?
Chang's raised Liu Meier to persuade her to eat as much as possible to grow her body, so Liu Meier's appetite has always been okay.
Jiang Changdai couldn't remember the first time she heard the word trouble from Liu Meier.
"Meier, do you have to be so reserved with me?" Jiang Changdai pursed her thin lips slightly and said seriously.
But speaking like this, Liu Meier became more and more nervous and responded: "No, it's just that there is really no need to bring a cook."
How can there be any reason to bring the cook from the princess mansion back to Yacheng if you want to eat soup dumplings?
Liu Mei'er couldn't bear the incident of fragrant rice in the capital last time, and even when she came back to the capital, Chang repeatedly told her not to accept gifts.
"You..." Seeing that she didn't even move her chopsticks, Jiang Changdai realized that maybe she was speaking too forcefully, "Forget it, you can eat first."
It was a good breakfast, but Liu Meier couldn't feel the deliciousness at the end of the meal, and she was all thinking that she might have made sister Dai angry again.
Neither of them are talkative, seeing that sister Dai was silent, Liu Meier naturally didn't dare to say much, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
The palace people went in to clean up the dishes and then exited the inner room. The bright sun outside the window was already a bit dim, and the sunlight in autumn was always pitiful.
It's just that the pot of begonias bloomed particularly delicately, Liu Meier looked at it for a long time before she looked away.
Sister Dai picked up a book at some point and sat on the soft side to read quietly. Because she didn't have to go out, she was wearing a crescent white begonia pattern long dress. Show your majesty.
Liu Mei'er has never been able to see what's in Sister Dai's mind, so naturally she is also very at a loss now.
For today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Meier will definitely go back to Ancheng to accompany Chang's for the festival.
Seeing the current situation, Liu Meier, who was planning to leave in the afternoon, inexplicably thought that it would be better to leave earlier, so that she would not have to let sister Dai accompany her boringly.
From time to time, there were many invitation posts sent by the palace people to the inner hall of the bedroom. Liu Meier took a look and saw that they were all the surnames of officials from the current six ministries.
Sister Dai will probably be very busy tonight.
Liu Mei'er was thinking like this before mustering up the courage to say: "Mei'er will stay soon, mother should be worried too."
Jiang Changdai raised her eyebrows to look at Liu Meier who was sitting upright, and saw that she wanted to stay a little longer, but now she suddenly changed her mind.
It's hard not to let people think that what I said during breakfast just now made her unhappy?
"Okay, I'll send someone to prepare a carriage to take you out of the capital."
The words that originally wanted to refuse were blocked by her mouth, but Liu Meier stopped and didn't dare to say, after all, sister Dai would be unhappy again.
Yesterday Liu Meier came here on a big black horse, but she didn't need a carriage.
After all, it's not a few days or nights' journey, but how can Liu Meier dare to say it now.
Waiting for the servant Xiaofeng to meet and leave the city, Liu Meier sat in the carriage and raised her hand to lift the curtain to look outside, but Sister Dai did not come out to see him off.
Ugh.
In the evening Liu Meier returned to Shore City, seeing her depressed, Chang uttered, "Could it be that the mooncakes don't suit the eldest princess's taste?"
Liu Meier shook her head and replied, "No, Sister Dai said the mooncakes are pretty good."
Mrs. Chang is now 60 years old, so she can naturally hear the politeness in the words, thinking that maybe only her own children will take such polite words as the truth.
It's normal for the eldest princess to look down on ordinary mooncakes for her extremely noble character, Chang's just couldn't bear to hurt her child's kindness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the capital is particularly lively. When the fireworks bloom in the night sky, guests from the Princess Mansion gather.
But tonight all the guests felt that there was something wrong with the eldest princess, and even the female family members of your family were afraid to talk to each other.
Jiang Changdai took a sip of the wine, but she was actually a little angry.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a reunion day, but Liu Meier left the capital in such a hurry.
Could it be that she doesn't care about herself that much?
In the middle of the night, when Jiang Changdai came back to her bedroom drunkenly, she didn't stay in the palace to wait on her. She leaned lazily on the soft bed, and she was dressed in a vermilion phoenix and gold silk cloud pattern dress, which made Jiang Changdai less cold and more dazzling.
Looking at the pot of begonias in full bloom, Jiang Changdai suddenly felt emotional.
No matter how gorgeous this pot of begonias is in bloom now, it will be dilapidated when winter comes. Time is the most ruthless.
Is it really necessary to recall Liu Meier back to the capital?
The officialdom in the capital city will only be deeper than the local government. Liu Meier is young and innocent now, but in the future she will be affected by the officialdom, and she may change beyond recognition.
It was the same in the Qinwang Party back then, and then in the Yuan Family. The supreme power is enough to make anyone corrupt and degenerate, and even close relatives can kill each other.
Jiang Changdai couldn't tell whether it was because of the wine that she felt uncomfortable, or because she felt sad because of the loss in her heart.
When the carrier pigeon by the window came quietly, Jiang Changdai reached out to take down the letter paper in the letter box, and her expression had returned to calm.
The current Jiang Changdai knows that she cannot be swayed by any emotions, because it is too dangerous.
In a high position, sometimes one wrong step can lead to eternal doom.
In the long night, the capital city is still very lively, and there are many restaurants and garden banquets everywhere, but at this time, the Qing Kingdom has been reduced to the point where wars are raging.
The army of the Mo country pressed down from the north and quickly defeated the border troops of the Qing country, and it only took half a month to approach the capital of the Qing country.
And because the troops were divided into two groups, Prince Qing was unable to mobilize the [-] troops to escort Jiang Guo's black armored army, so he had to flee in a hurry with Wang's children and ministers.
When a letter of success from the front line was presented to the court in the capital of Jiang State, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
Grand Tutor Li Ping read the frontline battle report handed over by the eldest princess with his own eyes, and he didn't even know whether it was the army of the Mo State that was too strong or the army of the Qing State was too weak.
Jiang country and Mo country's offensive front is almost smooth to the point where there is no obstacle.
In mid-October, Prince Qing tried to cease the war and negotiate peace, but by then it was too late.
Both the Jiang Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom had already occupied more than half of the country, and it was impossible for anyone to withdraw their troops and negotiate peace. Prince Qing obviously hadn't realized that the country's subjugation was inevitable.
By the end of November, winter had already entered, and during the heavy snowfall, most of Qing's army had surrendered, and the remaining ministers who followed Prince Qing also fled.
The former loyal and patriotic veterans of the Qing Kingdom had already been executed by the Prince Qing himself, which made the Prince Qing isolated and helpless.
Jiang Changdai ordered Rong Yue to capture Prince Qing alive. After all, the subjugated monarch is not completely useless, at least it will be useful to appease the old nobles of Qing in the future.
At the same time, the emperor of Mo Kingdom also wanted to capture Prince Qing alive.
Mo country attacked Qing country because the envoy was killed and became famous as a teacher, but after all, it is an alliance with Qing country for generations, if they are wiped out, it will be difficult for Mo country to communicate with other kingdoms in the future.
But when everyone expected Prince Qing to be alive, this reckless Prince Qing would rather hang himself than surrender, and before he died, he still scolded the Emperor Moguo for his treachery.
Qing Kingdom, which had dominated one side for hundreds of years, disappeared in just a few months.
The heavy snow covered the trees in the courtyard, and the dark guards reported the casualties of the Heijia army and the number of territories occupied by Qingguo City.
Jiang Changdai looked at the boiling tea in front of her and said, "Order the black-armored army to treat the people of the Qing Kingdom well, and check the situation of the local silver warehouse and granary as soon as possible. Remember to ask Rong Yue to take in as many people as possible from the Qing Kingdom."
"Yes."
This war on the surface has come to an end, but the war without swords has just begun.
The vast territory of the Qing Kingdom is rich in iron ore, which has always been the envy of all countries.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Changdai spent all her time cooperating with the Mo country to send troops to attack the Qing country. Strong soldiers must have enough iron ore to make weapons, otherwise they would never be able to fight with sticks.
As the end of the year approached, the assessment of officials from the Ministry of Officials began, and most of Jiangguo's water conservancy projects were completed one after another, so naturally they had to be rewarded according to merit.
Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at Liu Zhifu of Ancheng, and was still wondering what position it would be appropriate to promote this son-in-law.
One day Qi Tai deliberately went to ask Taifu Li Ping's opinion. After all, Li Ping was handpicked by the Eldest Princess, so he would naturally be able to guess his mind better.
"I don't think it's better to mention the son-in-law to the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Li Ping didn't answer directly, but replied: "I'd like to ask the eldest princess for instructions."
After all, the Ministry of Industry is a hard job. If the princess is not happy, she will only make a fuss in the end.
In the afternoon, Jiang Changdai looked at the notes submitted by Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and her eyes stopped on the list of prefects in Ancheng.
It is not too much for the Ministry of Officials to promote Liu Meier to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is better than her Qu Cai being the magistrate of Ancheng.
"Let's play."
"Yes."
When this promotion document hurried to Ancheng, it happened that Liu's father was seriously ill on that day.
That day, the servants of the Liu family sent by the capital hurriedly reported that Liu Meier took Chang Shi back to the capital, so she failed to receive the documents.
Father Liu was lying on the sickbed and coughing non-stop, his complexion was indeed not very good.
The children of the family stayed at Liu's house day and night, and Liu Meier, as the eldest son, naturally couldn't be absent.
But once a person gets sick in old age, if there is no result in three or two days, he may have to suffer.
The Chang family had no marital relationship with Liu's father for a long time, it was just because they were afraid that the children of those concubines would be greedy for the family property, so they rushed here with their children.
I thought Father Liu was going to die, but who would have thought that there would be no news after several days, Chang's was annoyed by these crying concubines every day.
In winter, the courtyard of the Liu Mansion is covered with thick snow, and the servants chat lazily and clean it up.
Father Liu woke up suddenly in the morning, and the tears of those concubines stopped.
"Master, you are awake."
Liu Meier hurriedly made room for these concubines to watch, thinking that Father Liu should be fine.
After asking the doctor for a few days, Liu Meier found out that Liu's father was temporarily unwell because of excessive drinking.
Father Liu, who is nearly seventy now, is still very irritable, and he may not be able to calm down if he thinks about it for a while.
Chang brought Liu Mei'er out of the main courtyard, and couldn't help coughing a few times: "These concubines are too noisy, it's just that they drank too much wine, and yet they want to have such a row, it's really nonsense. "
"Mother, if you are tired, why don't you go back and rest?" Liu Meier supported Chang Shi, only to realize that Chang Shi had silver hair all over her head.
"I'm old, and I can't sleep anymore." Mrs. Chang walked slowly and said in a low voice, "Those crying concubines just now will have trouble. Your father is old and faint now, maybe he gave it to you in private." They have a lot of house deeds and land deeds, so I have to be careful for you as a mother."
Liu Meier is actually not interested in the Liu family's property. Although her current salary is not much, it is enough.
After sending Mrs. Chang back to her room, Liu Meier saw that she was still coughing, so she took her servant Xiaofeng to the pharmacy to buy some loquat paste in the afternoon.
The streets near the capital are decorated with lanterns and festoons on New Year's Eve. When Liu Meier came out of the pharmacy, she happened to see Wang Yan in thin clothes. Her face was pale and she seemed to be suffering from a cold.
But Wang Yan hid very quickly, and Liu Meier couldn't find anyone in the blink of an eye.
It was getting dark quickly in winter, and when Liu Meier passed the wall outside the Princess Mansion in a sedan chair, she didn't dare to visit her.
Since she made sister Dai unhappy last time, Liu Meier is also feeling bad now.
The stupid Liu Mei'er didn't know what to do, she was very bored for a while, she couldn't help sighing.
Because Liu's father asked Liu Meier and Chang to stay for New Year's Eve, they did not return to Shore City.
But to Liu Meier's surprise, Liu's father even specially invited the eldest princess to a family banquet.
That day, Liu Meier folded some new plums for Mrs. Chang and was arranging how to cut and place them in the house. The wind and snow outside the window seldom stopped for a while, so it was a bit quiet.
Jiang Changdai, who was surrounded by the crowd and walked through the corridor, paused slightly when she turned her head to look into the half-open window.
That Liu Mei'er, who was wearing a floral blue round neck robe, was concentrating on fiddling with the red plum in Xian Xiansu's hand, her brows and eyes were very focused, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, making her lips look particularly cute.
Jiang Changdai originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu's father's post, but when she learned that Liu Meier was staying in the capital for the New Year's Eve, she just wanted to see this heartless little guy.
She is really heartless, she has been in the capital for a long time but she never came to see her.
Is it true that because of a word of mine, she will not see him like this?
Jiang Changdai didn't believe that Liu Meier would be so unfeeling, let alone let her hide from her.
Not to mention the capital city, as long as she is in Jiang country territory, Jiang Changdai has plenty of ways to get her to return to her side obediently.
Even though she was full of resentment, Jiang Changdai had to admit that she missed her very much.

The bright moon hanging high in the night sky scattered white mist-like silver light into the bedroom floor.
The night in autumn is already a bit chilly, and when the gauze tent shakes slightly, the embracing figures can be vaguely seen moving.

In the evening Liu Meier returned to Shore City, seeing her depressed, Chang uttered, "Could it be that the mooncakes don't suit the eldest princess's taste?"
Liu Meier shook her head and replied, "No, Sister Dai said the mooncakes are pretty good."
Mrs. Chang is now 60 years old, so she can naturally hear the politeness in the words, thinking that maybe only her own children will take such polite words as the truth.
It's normal for the eldest princess to look down on ordinary mooncakes for her extremely noble character, Chang's just couldn't bear to hurt her child's kindness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the capital is particularly lively. When the fireworks bloom in the night sky, guests from the Princess Mansion gather.
But tonight all the guests felt that there was something wrong with the eldest princess, and even the female family members of your family were afraid to talk to each other.
Jiang Changdai took a sip of the wine, but she was actually a little angry.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a reunion day, but Liu Meier left the capital in such a hurry.
Could it be that she doesn't care about herself that much?
In the middle of the night, when Jiang Changdai came back to her bedroom drunkenly, she didn't stay in the palace to wait on her. She leaned lazily on the soft bed, and she was dressed in a vermilion phoenix and gold silk cloud pattern dress, which made Jiang Changdai less cold and more dazzling.
Looking at the pot of begonias in full bloom, Jiang Changdai suddenly felt emotional.
No matter how gorgeous this pot of begonias is in bloom now, it will be dilapidated when winter comes. Time is the most ruthless.
Is it really necessary to recall Liu Meier back to the capital?
The officialdom in the capital city will only be deeper than the local government. Liu Meier is young and innocent now, but in the future she will be affected by the officialdom, and she may change beyond recognition.
It was the same in the Qinwang Party back then, and then in the Yuan Family. The supreme power is enough to make anyone corrupt and degenerate, and even close relatives can kill each other.
Jiang Changdai couldn't tell whether it was because of the wine that she felt uncomfortable, or because she felt sad because of the loss in her heart.
When the carrier pigeon by the window came quietly, Jiang Changdai reached out to take down the letter paper in the letter box, and her expression had returned to calm.
The current Jiang Changdai knows that she cannot be swayed by any emotions, because it is too dangerous.
In a high position, sometimes one wrong step can lead to eternal doom.
In the long night, the capital city is still very lively, and there are many restaurants and garden banquets everywhere, but at this time, the Qing Kingdom has been reduced to the point where wars are raging.
The army of the Mo country pressed down from the north and quickly defeated the border troops of the Qing country, and it only took half a month to approach the capital of the Qing country.
And because the troops were divided into two groups, Prince Qing was unable to mobilize the [-] troops to escort Jiang Guo's black armored army, so he had to flee in a hurry with Wang's children and ministers.
When a letter of success from the front line was presented to the court in the capital of Jiang State, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
Grand Tutor Li Ping read the frontline battle report handed over by the eldest princess with his own eyes, and he didn't even know whether it was the army of the Mo State that was too strong or the army of the Qing State was too weak.
Jiang country and Mo country's offensive front is almost smooth to the point where there is no obstacle.
In mid-October, Prince Qing tried to cease the war and negotiate peace, but by then it was too late.
Both the Jiang Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom had already occupied more than half of the country, and it was impossible for anyone to withdraw their troops and negotiate peace. Prince Qing obviously hadn't realized that the country's subjugation was inevitable.
By the end of November, winter had already entered, and during the heavy snowfall, most of Qing's army had surrendered, and the remaining ministers who followed Prince Qing also fled.
The former loyal and patriotic veterans of the Qing Kingdom had already been executed by the Prince Qing himself, which made the Prince Qing isolated and helpless.
Jiang Changdai ordered Rong Yue to capture Prince Qing alive. After all, the subjugated monarch is not completely useless, at least it will be useful to appease the old nobles of Qing in the future.
At the same time, the emperor of Mo Kingdom also wanted to capture Prince Qing alive.
Mo country attacked Qing country because the envoy was killed and became famous as a teacher, but after all, it is an alliance with Qing country for generations, if they are wiped out, it will be difficult for Mo country to communicate with other kingdoms in the future.
But when everyone expected Prince Qing to be alive, this reckless Prince Qing would rather hang himself than surrender, and before he died, he still scolded the Emperor Moguo for his treachery.
Qing Kingdom, which had dominated one side for hundreds of years, disappeared in just a few months.
The heavy snow covered the trees in the courtyard, and the dark guards reported the casualties of the Heijia army and the number of territories occupied by Qingguo City.
Jiang Changdai looked at the boiling tea in front of her and said, "Order the black-armored army to treat the people of the Qing Kingdom well, and check the situation of the local silver warehouse and granary as soon as possible. Remember to ask Rong Yue to take in as many people as possible from the Qing Kingdom."
"Yes."
This war on the surface has come to an end, but the war without swords has just begun.
The vast territory of the Qing Kingdom is rich in iron ore, which has always been the envy of all countries.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Changdai spent all her time cooperating with the Mo country to send troops to attack the Qing country. Strong soldiers must have enough iron ore to make weapons, otherwise they would never be able to fight with sticks.
As the end of the year approached, the assessment of officials from the Ministry of Officials began, and most of Jiangguo's water conservancy projects were completed one after another, so naturally they had to be rewarded according to merit.
Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at Liu Zhifu of Ancheng, and was still wondering what position it would be appropriate to promote this son-in-law.
One day Qi Tai deliberately went to ask Taifu Li Ping's opinion. After all, Li Ping was handpicked by the Eldest Princess, so he would naturally be able to guess his mind better.
"I don't think it's better to mention the son-in-law to the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Li Ping didn't answer directly, but replied: "I'd like to ask the eldest princess for instructions."
After all, the Ministry of Industry is a hard job. If the princess is not happy, she will only make a fuss in the end.
In the afternoon, Jiang Changdai looked at the notes submitted by Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and her eyes stopped on the list of prefects in Ancheng.
It is not too much for the Ministry of Officials to promote Liu Meier to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is better than her Qu Cai being the magistrate of Ancheng.
"Let's play."
"Yes."
When this promotion document hurried to Ancheng, it happened that Liu's father was seriously ill on that day.
That day, the servants of the Liu family sent by the capital hurriedly reported that Liu Meier took Chang Shi back to the capital, so she failed to receive the documents.
Father Liu was lying on the sickbed and coughing non-stop, his complexion was indeed not very good.
The children of the family stayed at Liu's house day and night, and Liu Meier, as the eldest son, naturally couldn't be absent.
But once a person gets sick in old age, if there is no result in three or two days, he may have to suffer.
The Chang family had no marital relationship with Liu's father for a long time, it was just because they were afraid that the children of those concubines would be greedy for the family property, so they rushed here with their children.
I thought Father Liu was going to die, but who would have thought that there would be no news after several days, Chang's was annoyed by these crying concubines every day.
In winter, the courtyard of the Liu Mansion is covered with thick snow, and the servants chat lazily and clean it up.
Father Liu woke up suddenly in the morning, and the tears of those concubines stopped.
"Master, you are awake."
Liu Meier hurriedly made room for these concubines to watch, thinking that Father Liu should be fine.
After asking the doctor for a few days, Liu Meier found out that Liu's father was temporarily unwell because of excessive drinking.
Father Liu, who is nearly seventy now, is still very irritable, and he may not be able to calm down if he thinks about it for a while.
Chang brought Liu Mei'er out of the main courtyard, and couldn't help coughing a few times: "These concubines are too noisy, it's just that they drank too much wine, and yet they want to have such a row, it's really nonsense. "
"Mother, if you are tired, why don't you go back and rest?" Liu Meier supported Chang Shi, only to realize that Chang Shi had silver hair all over her head.
"I'm old, and I can't sleep anymore." Mrs. Chang walked slowly and said in a low voice, "Those crying concubines just now will have trouble. Your father is old and faint now, maybe he gave it to you in private." They have a lot of house deeds and land deeds, so I have to be careful for you as a mother."
Liu Meier is actually not interested in the Liu family's property. Although her current salary is not much, it is enough.
After sending Mrs. Chang back to her room, Liu Meier saw that she was still coughing, so she took her servant Xiaofeng to the pharmacy to buy some loquat paste in the afternoon.
The streets near the capital are decorated with lanterns and festoons on New Year's Eve. When Liu Meier came out of the pharmacy, she happened to see Wang Yan in thin clothes. Her face was pale and she seemed to be suffering from a cold.
But Wang Yan hid very quickly, and Liu Meier couldn't find anyone in the blink of an eye.
It was getting dark quickly in winter, and when Liu Meier passed the wall outside the Princess Mansion in a sedan chair, she didn't dare to visit her.
Since she made sister Dai unhappy last time, Liu Meier is also feeling bad now.
The stupid Liu Mei'er didn't know what to do, she was very bored for a while, she couldn't help sighing.
Because Liu's father asked Liu Meier and Chang to stay for New Year's Eve, they did not return to Shore City.
But to Liu Meier's surprise, Liu's father even specially invited the eldest princess to a family banquet.
That day, Liu Meier folded some new plums for Mrs. Chang and was arranging how to cut and place them in the house. The wind and snow outside the window seldom stopped for a while, so it was a bit quiet.
Jiang Changdai, who was surrounded by the crowd and walked through the corridor, paused slightly when she turned her head to look into the half-open window.
That Liu Mei'er, who was wearing a floral blue round neck robe, was concentrating on fiddling with the red plum in Xian Xiansu's hand, her brows and eyes were very focused, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, making her lips look particularly cute.
Jiang Changdai originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu's father's post, but when she learned that Liu Meier was staying in the capital for the New Year's Eve, she just wanted to see this heartless little guy.
She is really heartless, she has been in the capital for a long time but she never came to see her.
Is it true that because of a word of mine, she will not see him like this?
Jiang Changdai didn't believe that Liu Meier would be so unfeeling, let alone let her hide from her.
Not to mention the capital city, as long as she is in Jiang country territory, Jiang Changdai has plenty of ways to get her to return to her side obediently.
Even though she was full of resentment, Jiang Changdai had to admit that she missed her very much.
