The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]

"Yeah." Liu Meier didn't want to spend most of her life as a coward hiding behind Sister Dai.

In this way, not only others will laugh at him, but even Liu Meier can't lift her head up.

Jiang Changdai looked at the person with her head bowed in some puzzlement, pressed her palm against her warm cheek and said, "But the old lady said that you have been restless these days, and she is very worried about you."

The Chang family, who never took the initiative to contact Jiang Changdai, sent a servant girl to invite herself to the consort's mansion for a banquet.

Liu Meier pursed her lips and responded, "I'm fine."

"But..." Jiang Changdai looked into her eyes and couldn't help sighing, "Now the emperor listens to the slander of treacherous ministers and persecutes noble officials, and the courtiers are terrified. Even the princes in the palace are in danger. Are you not afraid of danger?"

The two brothers of the Wu family used their power to bully others. They dared to arrest innocent officials in the Ministry of Industry that day. If Liu Meier hadn't been the son-in-law, they would have been arrested and framed.

"I'm not afraid." Liu Mei'er responded with the courage she didn't know where she came from.

Maybe I just don't want to be too useless in front of Sister Dai.

Jiang Changdai looked at the stubborn person, so she had no choice but to stop persuading, pinched her cheek with her fingertips and said: "Then you must not act impulsively, the emperor is jealous of me now, and now you and I are both prosperous and ruined. Let the brothers of the Wu family get hold of it and use it to slander the emperor, and things may get out of control."

Although Jiang Feng didn't have much ability and skill, he was the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom who would kill him. Once he was charged with unwarranted charges, it would probably be another civil strife.

The country of Mo in the north is still staring at it, and the territory of the Qing country still needs to stabilize the political power, and now the slightest turmoil in Jiang country will cause an uproar.

It is precisely because of Jiang Guo's scruples that Jiang Changdai wants to solve the two brothers of the Wu family in a more peaceful way.

It was the first time Liu Mei'er heard sister Dai mention something about the court and nodded in response: "Yes, I remember."

It seems that what happened in the Ministry of Industry last time, let sister Dai know.

"Sister Dai, were those officials from the Ministry of Industry framed by the Wu brothers?" Liu Meier asked out of her confusion.

Jiang Changdai didn't respond immediately, and answered after thinking for a while: "Treason is not the reason why the brothers of the Wu family arrested them, the key to being arrested was the first prince they openly supported as the prince."

"But now that the eighth prince is already a prince, and they still want to kill them all, how can His Majesty be so indiscriminate between black and white." Liu Meier reacted slightly in a daze, and said with a slight frown.

"Mei'er, you have to remember that there is never a distinction between black and white in the court." Jiang Changdai reached out to pour the wine, drank it all alone, and said earnestly, "Sometimes the black ones can pretend to be innocent, but the white ones are actually greedy for money behind their backs."

In fact, Jiang Changdai didn't want Liu Meier to be exposed to too many court intrigues, so she was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are the most critical departments for the selection and appointment of officials in the court. At the beginning, the Yuan family occupied the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for many years before spreading their influence to the entire court.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the treasury's taxation and financial accounts, and it is the lifeblood of a country. Every year, a large number of corrupt officials can be caught through strict investigations, but they are still repeatedly banned.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment safeguard the foundation of the kingdom. If the criminal law is not strict, the country will perish, and if the Ministry of Military Affairs is not strong, the country will be destroyed.

These places need to be strictly inspected and audited every year, during which hundreds to thousands of people were beheaded and exiled.

On the contrary, the Ministry of Industry is still safe and clean. As long as the funds allocated by the Ministry of Accounts are settled neatly, and the project of Chaotang Anbu is completed on schedule and with quality, it can be regarded as a worry-free job.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Changdai doesn't want Liu Meier to enter the court power struggle.

Power can change anyone's face beyond recognition. The former King Qin, the current Wu family brothers, and the emperor have also changed their appearance greatly.

Jiang Changdai vaguely remembers that the emperor was a smug young man when he first came to the throne, but now he is full of power, and even uses treacherous officials to control the court.

"Well, Meier remembered." Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai drinking non-stop, as if she was a little troubled, "But I believe Sister Dai must be innocent."

The hand that raised the wine cup stopped suddenly, and Jiang Changdai drank the wine immediately, touched her forehead with her hand and said, "Meier, you will suffer a lot in the future if you act on your emotions."

How could Jiang Changdai, who is based on the interests of the Jiang country, be innocent.

Liu Meier covered her forehead with her hand, thinking that sister Dai didn't answer her own question just now.

When the spring breeze blows in March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom until early summer, and there are already some signs of wilting.

Because Song Gong died in prison, Confucian scholars wrote books to crusade against the crimes of the Wu family brothers, pushing the rebellion to a critical moment.

The brothers of the Wu family handed the disobedient article to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these rebels are disobedient to your holy decision to make the eighth prince the crown prince."

The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of Confucian scholars, and the decree was tampered with by the Wu family brothers to become more cruel.

In just half a month, nearly a thousand Confucian scholars were arrested. Seeing that the emperor was so stupid, many officials in the court did not dare to appeal for Song Gong's grievances.

Concubine Song Xian, the mother of the eldest prince, was deeply saddened when she learned of his father's death, and wrote a letter begging to leave the palace to express her condolences.

The emperor did not give permission, but put his mother and son under house arrest in the cold palace, and no one could visit without authorization.

So far, the eldest prince Jiang Hui has also been implicated, and this mighty conspiracy has only stopped for several months.

Grand Tutor Li Ping immediately said he was sick and retired from court, and the brothers of the Wu family promoted Song Yuanshan, Minister of Rites, to concurrently take up the post of Grand Tutor.

The weather is hot in early summer, and the food will go bad if left overnight.

The eldest prince and the Song family in the cold palace had a hard time, so they had to pick some wild vegetables to wrap their stomachs in the wasteland of the cold palace.

The childless Empress Jiang wanted to take care of the mother and child, but due to the prestige of the two brothers of the Wu family, the guards guarding the cold palace dared not accommodate.

One day, it rained suddenly, and the eldest prince who was picking wild vegetables was exposed to the rain and had a fever at night. The Song family had to write a letter with blood on rags to ask for help.

When the blood letter fell into Jiang Changdai's hands, she actually wanted to deal with it coldly at first.

The emperor was overly suspicious, if he rescued him rashly, he would actually increase his own danger.

It was just that she thought that the eldest prince might be useful in the future, so Jiang Changdai took the risk of letting Dr. Qi in the mansion pretend to be a palace servant to enter the cold palace for diagnosis and treatment.

It was an extremely hot afternoon on a sunny day, and looking at the child who was still sweating coldly, Mrs. Song was heartbroken.

Doctor Qi took a pulse and found out that the eldest prince was gonorrheaed by the rain because he was too hungry.

The high walls, bricks and tiles in the palace all showed magnificence, but it was the turn of the dignified prince to be so starved of food, which inevitably made people sigh.

"Excuse me, doctor."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Dr. Qi actually didn't want to come to the palace, after all, it was too resembling a resplendent and resplendent coffin, and he might go crazy if he stayed there for a long time.

When Song Shi sent Dr. Qi out of the house, he asked hesitantly: "Princess, do you have anything else to say?"

Dr. Qi thought for a while with the medicine box on his back, and replied, "It seems not."

"That's it." Song's eyes were dark and she said in a low voice, "She must be very busy."

Doctor Qi, who came out of the palace, met the eldest princess and reported the eldest prince's condition.

"I know." I saw the Eldest Princess was practicing calligraphy on the desk with a pen and ink, her expression was extremely natural, and there was no concern on her face, as if she was just listening to an insignificant matter.

The eldest prince in the palace is logically also the nephew of the eldest princess, which is too inhumane.

Doctor Qi hesitated and said again: "It seems that Concubine Song Xian wants to meet the eldest princess."

Jiang Changdai frowned slightly and responded, "Back off."

"Yes."

Doctor Qi, who came out of the garden, inexplicably felt that the eldest princess's aura of calmness and prestige was a bit breathless.

Sure enough, you shouldn't talk too much.

In midsummer, the Ministry of Industry was as busy as usual, but Liu Meier handled the complicated affairs smoothly, of course, perhaps it was also because of the care of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Due to the heavy rain, the wall of a warehouse where the blueprints are stored is leaking, so Liu Meier helps to sort it out.

When she accidentally opened the engineering drawings of the Princess Mansion, Liu Meier found that the actual area of ​​the Princess Mansion was much larger than the drawings.

It seems that the houses near the Princess Mansion have been purchased one after another in those few years, and a house in the capital is so expensive that you can buy a street in Fengcheng.

Liu Meier remembered what happened when she lost her way in the princess mansion that day, and she couldn't help guessing that maybe sister Dai had been planning to garrison troops a long time ago.

In the evening, officials from the Ministry of Industry left one after another, because the rainy day looked gloomy.

Lanterns had already been hung on the streets of the capital city, and cars and horses were crowded past. Liu Meier, holding an oil-paper umbrella, came to a dilapidated alleyway to visit a seriously ill official.

This official was Mr. Kun who was injured by Wu Di that day and recuperated from his illness. Because his family was poor, other officials chipped in money to redeem him from prison.

Liu Meier knocked on the door of a small house in the alleyway with the salary, silver and ointment issued by the Ministry of Industry, and wondered if she had gone the wrong way.

"Who is it?" The old wood was filled with a rotten smell due to the rain, and there was a sound of heavy branches when the inside was opened.

Mr. Kun, with thin and sunken cheeks, was leaning on a cane in his left hand, with a few strands of long hair scattered on the side of his face, and he looked embarrassed.

"Master Kun, excuse me."

"I'm already an ordinary person. Master Liu doesn't need to be called that. I don't know what I can do to visit my humble house today."

Seeing that he didn't intend to invite herself in, Liu Meier offered the cloth bag containing silver and ointment with both hands and said: "This is a little kindness from my colleagues."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept the money." Kun Miao frowned and couldn't help coughing a few times to refuse.

The eyes of the two little dolls protruding from the crack of the door were full of curiosity, Liu Meier slightly leaned over and unwrapped a few pastries wrapped in oil paper and asked, "Little doll, do you want some pastries?"

Because of her gluttonous appetite, Liu Meier would carry some small pastries with her on weekdays, but happened to be too busy today so she didn't finish them.

"Want to eat."

"Then give it to you."

Liu Meier handed the pastry to them, but Kunmiao reached out to stop the movement and said, "Didn't I teach you not to eat other people's things casually?"

The younger child started to cry in fright, Liu Meier didn't expect this to happen, so she could only say: "It's okay, it's just some pastries."

Kunmiao didn't want to tilt her head and said, "Your child doesn't know how to be polite. Please come back if Mr. Liu has nothing to do."

"But this silver..."

"I think I, Kun, studied hard in high school for ten years, and once I fell to such an absurd situation, I no longer want to enter the officialdom in this life. Master Liu, please go back."

Kunmiao closed the door full of disappointment

When the door was closed, Liu Meier looked at the already dark sky helplessly, not knowing what to do to restore the day to its former brightness.

This senior from Kunming has worked in the Ministry of Industry for a little longer than Liu Meier, but he is the official who has participated in the most projects in the Ministry of Industry. He is serious and responsible in his work on weekdays. People who drink flower wine, this response is a big blow.

The rain fell on the umbrella with a tick, and the rainwater accumulated on the ground quickly splashed on the robe.

When Liu Meier returned home in the evening, Mrs. Chang had already prepared meals, and Sister Dai rarely sat aside.

"Come on, wash your hands quickly, and come to the table to eat." Chang asked the maid to serve the meal.

Liu Meier handed over the silver to Chang, washed her hands and sat beside Sister Dai and asked, "Why is Sister Dai here today?"

Jiang Changdai saw that her expression was a little depressed but she didn't show it, so she complied: "The old lady invited me to play the horse hanging, because I heard that Mei'er was paid a salary today."

amount……

The painful lesson of the last New Year's Eve is still vivid, so much so that now Liu Meier feels scared when she hears the horse hanging.

"But I give most of my salary to my mother on weekdays, and now the pocket money in my hand may be gone after losing a few rounds."

"Maybe Mei'er can win a few games today." Jiang Changdai joked when she saw that she had already conceded before she even started.

Liu Meier smiled embarrassingly, thinking that this was highly unlikely.

It was raining non-stop outside the house, and several people inside the house were playing horse cranes. Chang's luck was very good, and he won several rounds in a row.

Seeing that Liu Meier's silver taels were getting less and less, Jiang Changdai had no choice but to cooperate with her and gave her a few cards.

"I, I want to eat!" Liu Meier has never been so lucky to win a card.

Seeing that her children didn't notice that someone was releasing water at all, Chang thought that if they entered the casino, there would be no socks left to lose.

When it was getting dark at night, Chang Shi was sleepy and was helped back to the courtyard by the servant girl.

Liu Meier opened her umbrella and planned to send Sister Dai back to the Princess Mansion, but outside the window there was a strong wind and the rain was flying randomly, even the floor of the corridor was wet.

"Meier, don't you want me to stay overnight?" Jiang Changdai looked at the person holding the umbrella and had to take the initiative to speak out.

"Okay, okay." Liu Meier responded with a slightly red cheek.

The two went back to Liu Mei'er's courtyard together, Jiang Changdai asked when she sat down limply: "Where else did you go tonight?"

Liu Meier paused slightly and closed the window that was rattling by the wind and nodded, "I went to see my colleague Kun Miao who has resigned. He is in a difficult situation. I wanted to help him, but was rejected. gone."

"Kun Miao used to be a candidate for the imperial examination, and the articles were well written. Scholars are always a bit arrogant, so naturally they don't want to accept money." Jiang Changdai reached out and took Liu Meier's hand with the hanging sleeve, and pulled her closer to sit on her lap.

The two figures intertwined, Liu Meier leaned sideways and leaned into Sister Dai's arms and said in a low voice: "But he has lost his official position, and he still has two children at home. Does he want to watch his children suffer?"

"Everyone makes their own choices. Kunmiao is not good at dealing with people, so she is not suitable to be an official." Jiang Changdai pinched the soft flesh of her palm with her fingertips.

Liu Meier asked in confusion: "Master Kun is serious and responsible, why is he not suitable for an official?"

"It's a good thing to be serious and responsible, but it's easy to become a bad thing if you don't treat people right. In particular, officials with no background in the court are the easiest to be dealt with." Jiang Changdai checked the officials arrested by the Wu family, and most of them were released after paying the money. Only officials from humble backgrounds like Kun Miao were tortured.

Thinking about it, although the two brothers of the Wu family acted insolently, they were not completely out of their minds.

"Does Sister Dai think that officials should flatter and flatter the two brothers of the Wu family to be considered officials?" The more Liu Meier spoke, the more she felt aggrieved by the suffering officials, and her expression became more serious.

Jiang Changdai knew why she was so excited. After all, she had a temperament that could distinguish between black and white.

But since she was determined to be an official, Jiang Changdai naturally couldn't watch her slam her head against the south wall and bleed.

"If he can be serious and responsible and flattering, then he is naturally the most suitable candidate for an official position."

Liu Meier never thought that Sister Dai would say such words in person, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed for a while.

From a very young age, Liu Meier thought that sister Dai was the most upright and selfless person in the world.

Because Liu Meier has seen too many times between the two lives, sister Dai is so worried about Jiang Guo's survival that she stays up all night.

So Liu Meier has always regarded such sister Dai as a role model for her to study hard.

The more she thought about it, the more sad Liu Meier was about to sit up, but she was hugged tightly.

"Mei'er, although I know you don't like to hear these words, but you must understand that if you want to be an official in the court, you must know how to be an official, otherwise you might as well resign earlier." Jiang Changdai tilted her head and kissed Looking down at her side face, she was a little worried that speaking too quickly would irritate her, "Song Yuanshan is the best candidate, look at the brothers from the Yuan family back then to the Wu family brothers now, no matter how difficult the situation is, he can handle it like a duck to water , that’s what makes him great.”

When she heard Sister Dai mention Song Yuanshan's ranking, Liu Meier remembered that she had seen Song Yuanshan having a secret talk with officials of the gentry in Jinyulou, and Sister Dai was there at that time.

But later the Yuan family purged the gentry officials, but Song Yuanshan was safe and sound.

At that time, Liu Meier suspected that Song Yuanshan was telling the truth, and now it is the same situation. Liu Meier remembered that some of the officials from the Ministry of Industry who were arrested had mentioned drinking and chatting with Song Yuanshan.

Perhaps this time it was Song Yuanshan who told the brothers of the Wu family.

"Did elder sister Dai know that the Wu Family Brotherhood would deal with noble officials?" Liu Meier asked seriously.

"Meier, what are you doubting?" Jiang Changdai frowned slightly to meet her gaze, "The struggle between the brothers of the Wu family and the gentry is mainly to consolidate the position of the eighth prince and the prince, and the gentry just need the eldest prince to expand their power , everything is for profit."

"But Song Yuanshan is an informer." Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai's calm eyes and was sure that she knew the truth.

The arrest of the Ministry of Labor that day may have been expected by sister Dai long ago.

"In order to gain the trust of the Wu family brothers, he betrayed the officials of the gentry and was promoted to the Taifu and the Minister of Rites. This kind of official career is full of dirty blood. Does Sister Dai really want Meier to learn from it?"

Jiang Changdai stared at Liu Meier in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

If one day Liu Meier really turned into that appearance, she would definitely not be able to accept it.

There was thunder and lightning that night, but the house was strangely quiet.

After the rainy night in midsummer, it was sunny again. Liu Meier, who used to always think of ways to go to the Princess Mansion, seldom moved around.

Chang looked at her child curiously, thinking something was wrong.

Could it be that he is tired of the eldest princess?

The turmoil in the court seems to be that the Wu family brothers have completely controlled the situation, so it is rare for a period of time to be stable.

Because of the relaxation of the Wu family brothers, an unusual distinguished guest came to the Leng Palace in the afternoon.

When Mrs. Song learned that the eldest princess was coming, she looked a little nervous, and hurriedly changed into clean clothes to meet her.

When the evening wind blows slowly in the pavilion, it is mixed with the sweltering heat in summer, and most of the abandoned gardens in the cold palace are left unmanaged and repaired, so they look dilapidated and old.

"You finally came to see me." Mrs. Song stepped into the pavilion, still a little unreal.

Most of the female family members of the noble family in the capital had held banquets with the eldest princess, and the Song family, who had not yet entered the palace, fell in love with the eldest princess when they first saw the eldest princess.

I thought that the eldest princess would be difficult to get close to, but unexpectedly, she was extremely gentle and polite in her dealings with people, and sometimes even talked about poems and songs with the Song family.

At that time, the Song family thought that the eldest princess had a good impression of herself, but she didn't expect that the eldest princess was just choosing a concubine for the emperor.

After entering the palace for several years, the two had little contact with each other. Only then did Song gradually realize that the eldest princess looked gentle and charming, but in fact she was extremely indifferent in her bones, and no one else could get into her heart.

Jiang Changdai lightly threw the leaves with her fingertips into the pool and said, "I'm here today to discuss important matters with Concubine Song Xian. Let's put aside the chatting about the past for now."

The hidden guards in the pavilion dispersed, and only two people were left sitting in it. The gentle breeze blew up the water in the pool, and even the projections of the two people became blurred.

When the setting sun was about to fall under the palace wall, Jiang Changdai got up slowly: "My palace has explained in detail, what are the pros and cons of it, please think carefully about it."

Song clung to the medicine bottle in her hand and said, "I promise you, as long as Hui'er can be protected."

Now only the eldest princess can save her mother and child, Song is willing to risk herself, even at the cost of her own life.

"of course."

The eldest princess did not show any pity, but left without any regrets.

The evening in summer was obviously hot, but Song Shi felt chilling. Song Shi, who would not be so sad even if she was neglected in the cold palace, felt very sad.

When the sunset was engulfed by the night, Jiang Changdai returned to the Princess Mansion.

"Has the son-in-law ever been here today?" Jiang Changdai asked hesitantly when the palace servants waited for her to change her clothes.

The palace people shook their heads with their fancy clothes in their hands: "No, but the son-in-law sent servants to bring the diary files over."

After taking a bath, Jiang Changdai sat limply, flipping through the booklet in her hand with her fingertips, her expression focused as if she was watching the important affairs of the court.

But when there was a sigh in the hall for a long time, Jiang Changdai closed the file, and she couldn't help showing a bit of complaint.

She recorded her day's itinerary carefully, but she didn't want anyone to come.

Jiang Changdai expected that she would not be able to accept the darkness of the officialdom, but she did not expect that she would have a quarrel with herself.

Maybe it was because I doted on her too much on weekdays that made her dare to neglect herself like this.

In all dynasties, only princesses have been the only ones who have neglected the son-in-law, and she is really getting more and more disobedient.

At night, Liu Meier was guarding outside the corridors of the consort's mansion and the princess' mansion, mosquitoes buzzing incessantly around her ears.

The servant Xiaofeng raised his hand and patted his cheek, then killed two more mosquitoes and sighed: "My lord, it's been so long since I handed over the paperwork, the eldest princess probably won't summon me."

"Well, I know." Liu Meier held her face with her hands and didn't even care about the mosquitoes, she was very depressed.

That night, Liu Mei'er was a little unhappy because of Song Yuanshan's anger, but now that several days have passed, she naturally thought about it a long time ago.

Song Yuanshan is treacherous and bad, but he is really smart, he should learn from it with humility.

Sister Ming Mingdai taught herself how to behave in the officialdom very seriously, but she was so ignorant.

Maybe sister Dai will ignore her in a fit of anger.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Liu Meier decided to sneak up the wall of the Princess Mansion, at least to see Sister Dai.
