Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[one four five]

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Now, it's over.

She forced a smile and turned her head, unexpectedly seeing Wei Huanian standing not far away, followed by Wan Qiu, who looked at her with sympathy and snickering.

Zhou Jinyu glared at her, then turned to look at Wei Huanian.

Wei Huanian was seen wearing a pink skirt, a string of warm and flawless suet white jade earrings hanging on his ears, no heavy makeup on his face, the light makeup was elegant and elegant.

The pink neckline went all the way to her neck, wrapping her fair neck, but Wei Huanian stood straighter, not angry and majestic, with a noble aura of his own, Zhou Jinyu swallowed, thinking why every time she saw This girl couldn't help but be impressed by her appearance.

Wei Huanian looked at her condescendingly: "Duck?"

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly walked up to her: "No..."

Wei Huanian just looked at her, and repeated again: "Duck?"

Zhou Jinyu was on the verge of crying, complaining in his heart, thinking, it doesn't matter if you scold me or hit me, it's not good to be so condescending and torture people like this.

But how could Zhou Jinyu dare to say anything else, and immediately said: "What ducks, princess, you heard wrong, there are no ducks."

As she spoke, she put the silk handkerchief in her hand in front of Xiao Baozi, and said, "Little Baozi, do you see, this is a mandarin duck."

As Zhou Jinyu said, he pointed to the two mandarin ducks floating on the pond and said, "That one is also a mandarin duck, remember?"

Little Baozi blinked, as if he was wondering why what Zhou Jinyu said was completely different from what he just said.

When he hesitated, Zhou Jinyu peeked at Wei Huanian, and Wei Huanian's expression became even more severe.

Zhou Jinyu shivered, and couldn't help scolding himself, look at your mouth.

The pendant on Wei Huanian's ear today is particularly beautiful. The suet white jade shimmers in the sun, as if it has its own brilliance flowing, Zhou Jinyu just thinks it is beautiful.

But just as she was distracted, Wei Huanian turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said, "Princess, where are you going?"

Wei Huanian turned around, took a look at her and said, "I want to go to the palace, mother..." Wei Huanian paused, but decided to tell her: "My mother said that my uncle has sent me a letter, let me go into the palace."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, uncle?

Changsun Sheng?

She told Emperor Tianshun about Changsun Sheng helping her suppress bandits in Yong'an County. As for whether Emperor Tianshun would remember his contribution, it was not in her consideration for the time being. Taking a step back, even if Changsun Sheng really When I came to the capital, I couldn't do anything to her, and she didn't offend him, but just used Wei Huanian's relationship to spout some nonsense, so it probably didn't matter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "Princess, go, go back early."

Wei Huanian nodded, and left with Wan Qiu.

Zhou Jinyu took the little bun to watch the duck for a while, oh no, it was a mandarin duck, and felt that there was nothing to see, so she took him back to the house and watched him practice calligraphy.

Xiao Baozi is still young, but he is good at writing. His handwriting is square and upright. At first glance, it doesn't look like it was written by a young child. His handwriting is vigorous and powerful. The more I look at it, the more I feel that it doesn't seem like a child can write it.

Zhou Jinyu looked at the big characters he wrote, and praised him: "Little Baozi, your handwriting is beautiful. If my grandfather saw your handwriting, maybe he would take you as his apprentice."

After she said this, she was startled suddenly. Now her hard-fated grandfather Liu Xi is the head of Qiulu Academy. Although he is highly respected by Emperor Tianshun, he has no power and power after all. Even if he has a rank, it is just a false name. .

However, if Liu Xi can enter the palace and become the prince's master, then it will be different. If he becomes the imperial tutor, then his status will be higher than that of Feng Boyang. When the old man found something, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu thought, how can he tactfully recommend Liu Xi to be the Taifu to Emperor Tianshun?

Zhou Jinyu looked at Xiao Baozi, and saw that Xiao Baozi's small eyes were looking at her without blinking.

That means it's like saying, are you done boasting?Haven't I heard enough?

Zhou Jinyu shook his head and smiled, then continued: "Our little bun's handwriting is beautiful, and his brain is also smart, and he will definitely be the number one scholar in the future."

Xiao Baozi squinted his eyes, it was very useful.

Zhou Jinyu took the opportunity to say again: "But I heard that it is not easy to be the number one scholar. You have to get the approval of the Long Live Lord, but you don't go out of the house and don't talk to others. How can you be in front of the Long Live Lord? Make a familiar face, so that Long Live Lord will know that your handwriting is beautiful? If you don’t pass the exam, how will you protect your mother in the future?”

Hearing this, Xiao Baozi was suddenly taken aback, as if he was thinking about what Zhou Jinyu said.

Zhou Jinyu continued: "Your mother is a woman who drags you so much, what if one day she gets old and has no way to protect you, and you don't know anything, and you are not a high-ranking official, what should you do? oh……"

When Zhou Jinyu said this, he gave him a very sad look on purpose. Little Baozi just thought about it for a while, then stared at her with suspicion in his eyes.

Zhou Jinyu coughed lightly: "Don't look at me, it's useless if you look at me, think about it, I can't protect your mother now, so I can only rely on you."

The little bun blinked and hesitated again.

When Zhou Jinyu saw his hesitant little eyes, he knew there was a way.

But if he wants to persuade Xiao Baozi to study in the palace, it is undoubtedly to let him leave his original living environment and go to a new environment. Now he has finally managed not to reject outsiders, but it is limited to not rejecting people in the palace. In the palace, I'm afraid there are too many uncertainties.

This matter still has to be done slowly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu stopped persuading him to study in the palace, but asked, "Are you hungry? Let's let the small kitchen cook sweet soup, okay?"

Xiao Baozi nodded immediately, yes.

Zhou Jinyu smiled and told Liu Mu to tell the kitchen to boil sweet water. This child, like himself, likes sweets.

When it was almost night, Wei Huanian came back, her expression was not very good, Zhou Jinyu asked worriedly: "Princess, what's wrong?"

Wei Huanian shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Zhou Jinyu was still worried, and said directly: "If you have any embarrassing things, you can talk to me. Even if I can't help you, I can still come up with bad ideas."

Wei Huanian paused, and then said: "Brother Dahuang is getting worse day by day, Father has already made a decision to go to Khitan in seven days, and Brother Dahuang was appointed by Father to go to the battlefield."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback: "Go to Khitan in seven days?"

This was undoubtedly big news for her, and after she came back, she hadn't heard any news from the court, but now she was able to learn it from Wei Huanian, which really shocked her.

Wei Huanian was able to hear the news, apparently because of the relationship between the eldest grandson empress.

If the eldest prince Wei Chenglu goes out with the army, Zhou Jinyu can't figure out what kind of tricks there are in it. What does Emperor Tianshun mean?

He asked Wei Chenglu to go out with the army in order to reuse him?

No, no, the attitude of Emperor Tianshun towards Wei Chenglu these years can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. He is tired of this useless waste prince, so it is unlikely that he will be reused, but it is not impossible at all. After all, Wei Chenglu is also the emperor no matter what. eldest son.

But seeing what Wei Chenglu meant, he obviously didn't want to go, otherwise it would be impossible to ask the queen.

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and said, "Princess, the Eldest Prince is not in good health, so His Majesty still wants him to go to the front to fight, isn't it inappropriate?"

Wei Huanian said: "I can't figure this matter out. Brother Dahuang looks like this. If he goes to the battlefield, he will die."

Zhou Jinyu frowned, and asked, "Does the Empress want you to play around and plead with His Majesty?"

Wei Huanian paused, and finally nodded. When she entered the palace this time, Empress Changsun really made it clear to her.

Zhou Jinyu knew in his heart that what Empress Changsun did would be tantamount to pushing Wei Huanian out, and Emperor Tianshun had always held the government tightly, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and all the ministers in the court knew this, even the ministers It was tacitly understood that what Empress Changsun did was indeed a bit too much.

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, then said, "Princess, you seem to agree."

Wei Huanian nodded again, but she said again: "The empress mother has already spoken, even if I don't agree."

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Princess, isn't there still seven days left? I know you are in trouble, but there may be a turning point in this matter. Besides, the eldest prince may not be dead if he goes to the battlefield. "

Wei Huanian was taken aback, thinking that Zhou Jinyu was just trying to comfort her. The marshal who is currently going on the expedition is still the tentative general Han Fengxin, and Han Fengxin has always been close to the second prince. The second prince's thoughts are well known. He always wanted to get rid of the eldest prince Wei Chenglu and move on quickly. If Han Baoxin led the army and Wei Chenglu accompanied him, how could he have any good?

Zhou Jinyu stepped forward, held Wei Huanian's hand, and said with a smile, "Princess, don't worry, just wait and see."

Wei Huanian could only nod his head, and said: "I went to my mother's harem, and I heard from Tianlin that the Taifu was seriously ill and had already resigned and returned home. It seems that Ah Jing is going to study in the palace. Shelved."

Hearing Wei Huanian's words, Zhou Jinyu's eyes suddenly brightened. If the old matriarch leaves, he will inevitably choose a new matriarch for the princes. Doesn't that mean that grandpa's chance has come?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu immediately said to Wei Huanian, "Princess, I'm going out for a while, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Wei Huanian paused, and asked, "My son-in-law, where are you going?"

Zhou Jinyu looked at her and smiled: "I'm going to visit the prime minister."

Wei Huanian thought for a while and asked, "Since when did you get close to the Prime Minister?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "They're all colleagues, you don't see them when you look up."

Wei Huanian didn't ask any more questions, Zhou Jinyu went to choose a few bags of high-quality tea, got into the carriage, and drove to the prime minister's residence.

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

The prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty was Meng Changru. Meng Changru was born in a poor family, and later stepped up to the current high position step by step. Naturally, he should not be underestimated.

And Meng Changru has always been known for his incorruptibility, so Zhou Jinyu didn't prepare generous gifts, but only took a few bags of tea. It is rumored that Meng Changru likes tea, and literati naturally like elegant things.

Zhou Jinyu arrived in front of the prime minister's gate, and after being notified by his servants, he was immediately led into the outer hall.

Meng Changru had obviously been notified that she was coming, so he waited for her in the outer hall.

When Zhou Jinyu saw Meng Changru, he bowed and saluted: "I have met the Prime Minister."

Meng Changru didn't move, but said to her: "My son-in-law, please get up quickly."

Although he spoke respectfully, he accepted Zhou Jinyu's gift with dignity.

Zhou Jinyu handed the bags of tea to his servants, and Meng Changru asked, "My son-in-law, why are you here?"

Zhou Jinyu said with a smile: "The lower official came this time because he wanted to ask your lord to do something."

Meng Changru laughed, and said with a smile: "If there is anything I can do to help you, the son-in-law just say it. If I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Meng Changru had a fairly good impression of Zhou Jinyu. He had been in the officialdom for many years and met many people of all kinds. He was actually very optimistic about Zhou Jinyu. He won the first prize again and married the princess.

It's hard to say about his ability. After all, Zhou Jinyu has just entered the officialdom. He did a good job in Yong'an County a few days ago, but he couldn't see anything. But this person's luck is rare.

The way to be an official is seven points of ability and three points of luck.

Ability comes second, and luck is the main thing. Some people have ability, but they lack luck, but in the end they are depressed.

So, he decided to win her over and agreed with her.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Oh, let's talk about this matter, we still have to blame that little bun in our family."

Seeing that Meng Changru was puzzled, Zhou Jinyu said, "It's the young master of our family, Wei Jingrui, and this official came here for this."

Meng Changru asked, "I don't know what happened to the young master?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Didn't our princess say that, let me persuade him to enter the palace, and he can study with the Tai Tuo with the sixth prince, but this child is unwilling to live or die, but it hurts the princess's brains, so I will go to the palace." Let me tell him, but how can I persuade him?"

Meng Changru said, "Oh?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "I'm going to talk about it, the child is finally going to agree, but today the princess came back from the palace, and said that the old lady Fu resigned, you said this is a mess, let me waste my saliva .”

Meng Changru sighed and said, "At this time, I also heard a little bit. The old lady Fu resigned from office and returned to her hometown. She is too old and can't bear it anymore."

When he said this, there was a bit of sympathy for each other. After all, he is now at the age of no mercy, how many years can he be in the officialdom?

If there are no major mistakes, maybe you can have a good death, but even if you have a good death, if you suffer from a serious illness in the future, you will not be able to retreat even if you want to.

Zhou Jinyu pretended to be apologetic: "Isn't that right, the official came to you today because he didn't want to disappoint the princess. If Jing Rui can't find the master, then I can't explain to the princess."

Meng Changru said: "But in this matter, I can't help the princess with anything... I can't tell the old lady Fu not to resign."

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said: "Of course there is no need. This is why I came here for this matter. I heard that Liu Xi, the old head of Qiulu Academy, is very talented. Among the scholars in the world, this is the only one who is here. The talent can be ranked in the top five, the lower official thought, if Liu Xi came to teach my family Jing Rui to study, then Jing Rui would definitely be able to improve his knowledge, but what is difficult for the lower official is that if the lower official tells the matter to the Long Live Lord , must be wrong, that's why I thought of you, as the current prime minister, Lord Long Live has always been close to you, a word from you is more useful than a hundred words from a subordinate official."

Meng Changru was overjoyed, seeing Zhou Jinyu more and more pleasing to the eye.

Although Zhou Jinyu's few words were to ask him to help, they also said that he had a close relationship with Emperor Tianshun. Speaking of which, throughout the Great Jin Dynasty, Meng Changru was indeed an indispensable right-hand man of Emperor Tianshun. Fengxin is divided into courts against courtesy, but now Han Fengxin is feared by Emperor Tianshun, and now his words in the court are more and more useful.

Although Zhou Jinyu clearly wanted to flatter him, he was naturally happy when he was praised. After all, there was no one who didn't like to hear nice words.

Besides, what Zhou Jinyu said meant that Princess Yuanzhao was mainly looking for a master for the son of the family, and Zhou Jinyu must have been instructed by the princess to come here. If so, he might as well sell her a favor.

Thinking of this, Meng Changru said: "Even if the son-in-law is relieved, I will do my best on this matter."

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly smiled and said, "That's it, thank you sir."

With Meng Changru's recommendation, Liu Xi's ability to enter the palace and become the Tai Tuo is inseparable. If Liu Xi can successfully become the Prince's Tai Tuo, then if Feng Boyang wants to have any thoughts, he can do it. It's time to weigh up.

It would be easy for him to touch an old scholar from Qiulu Academy, but if he dared to touch the prince and Taifu, it would be tantamount to plucking hair from a tiger's mouth, and Emperor Tianshun would definitely not expose it easily.

Zhou Jinyu naturally believed in Meng Changru. After all, this man promised a lot, and if he agreed, he would definitely do it.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would do it so quickly.

In the early morning of the second day, Emperor Tianshun ordered Liu Xi to enter the palace directly as a tutor. As for Qiulu Academy, he only needs to enter the palace for two hours a day to teach the prince's studies, and there will be no delay.

But what Zhou Jinyu didn't expect was that Emperor Tianshun promoted her to be a member of the Examination and Education Department of the seventh-rank official department, Wailang, in front of all his officials.

Although this official position is only at the seventh rank, it is extremely important. Besides, Zhou Jinyu was originally from the seventh rank, so he was despised by the official department, but now he has finally become a full-time official.

Zhou Jinyu thanked him for his kindness, and came out of the Jinluan Hall after the imperial court was over. Liu Gudao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at her with a smile and said, "Jinyu, please help Mr. Guo well. I know how he is. As long as you don't offend him, you can get along with him on weekdays." You gag, it should fit in with your temper."

Zhou Jinyu twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering whether this gag was a compliment or a detriment to her, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your advice, my lord."

Liu Gudao patted her on the shoulder and walked forward.

Zhou Jinyu tilted his head again, seeing Xiaoguo's uncle Su Qian following him, and said with a smile: "Jinyu, Jinyu, you are not authentic, you went to Yong'an and came back, I went to Su'an, But nothing was found, I really envy your good luck."

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said: "The lower official made a mistake, and this is luck. It is not the lower official's own credit for finding out about the gangsters in Yong'an County. , the subordinate must have died there.”

Uncle Xiaoguo Su Qian said in a strange way: "Now that you have been promoted, do you still remember our original agreement?"

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said: "Your officer, remember." She looked around and there were still officials passing by, and said, "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

Uncle Xiaoguo Su Qian nodded: "Jinyu, how about going to Baoxiang Pavilion to have a good time?"

Zhou Jinyu considered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Uncle Xiaoguo Su Qian laughed at her: "I'm still worried that your princess will punish you."

Zhou Jinyu smirked and didn't speak, Su Qian laughed and cursed: "Jinyu, let me tell you, if this man can't control the family affairs, how can he be so prestige outside?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head and said: "Then I don't agree with that, and you know it, our princess, she...cough, I'm afraid of her, anyway, let's go back as soon as possible after we finish talking at Baoxiang Pavilion, I I don't want to be scolded by the princess."

Su Qian laughed and said, "It's up to you."

The two went to Baoxiang Pavilion, and there was a smell of incense powder in front of the door. Several girls stood outside Baoxiang Pavilion to welcome guests. Zhou Jinyu and Su Qian stopped in front of the door, and someone directly took them Take it into the elegant room.

After entering the private room, Su Qian said, "Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"

Zhou Jinyu told the story of seeing a booklet in Zuo Langzhong Han Xu's house that day. Su Qian was really interested when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Can you see clearly what's in that booklet?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "This officer has always had a bad memory, so how could he know these things, but Uncle Guo, you have great powers, so you will naturally find out by yourself, right?"

Su Qian nodded, and suddenly looked at her with a smile: "Good Zhou Jinyu, I didn't expect you to give me a big gift when you were transferred to the Examination Department."

Zhou Jinyu said: "That day you told me that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and the next official is also sure. One day, my lord will be able to do something in the official department, which is incomparable to Han Xu."

Su Qian was very satisfied with Zhou Jinyu's answer, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if I can become Minister of the Ministry of Officials one day, you must be my right-hand man."

Zhou Jinyu smiled, but didn't respond.

Zhou Jinyu actually knows Su Qian very well. He is eager for quick success, and on the surface he is joking with everyone. He looks like he is not doing his job properly, but he is actually very calculating in his heart.

But he has a big weakness, that is, he is narrow-minded and caressing about every detail. When he heard that a new official who went to the Ministry of Officials offended him, he directly let the family die.

Naturally, she didn't dare to really attach herself to such a person.

As for the fight between Su Qian and Han Xu, Zhou Jinyu's attitude was the same as Shangshu Liu Gudao's, and he was happy to see it succeed.

After all, as far as Liu Gudao was concerned, it was not one or two things that these two people did behind his back, and Liu Gudao had mentioned these things to her in secret, so Liu Gudao didn't like the two of them. That's for sure.

It's just that the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly all these years, but neither of them can beat the other. But this time it's different. Zhou Jinyu will give Su Qian a little hint, and he will firmly grasp this opportunity. Once he finds The evidence will definitely attack Han Xu directly.

And Han Xu is not an easy one to deal with.

However, this is also a matter for the future, so it is not for her to worry about it.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Jinyu first went to the Examination Department of the Ministry of Officials, and met Guo Shang, the head of the Examination Department.

Guo Shang is a fat man over fifty years old. When Zhou Jinyu saw him, he was sitting at the table eating watermelon.

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help laughing, this Guo Shang, as Shangshu Liu Gudao said, is a cheerful person, and he looks very bad-tempered.

But there are some people who seem easy to get along with. After a few words, Guo Shang tricked her a lot, but Zhou Jinyu was not stupid, just ambiguously fooled her.

After some conversation, she learned that there is no one available in the Examination Department, and Guo Shang welcomes her transfer very much, after all, she finally has an extra helper.

After seeing Guo Shang, Zhou Jinyu went back to the son-in-law's mansion.

When she returned to the mansion, she saw that Wei Huanian's expression was no longer the same as when she left, he swept away the embarrassment just now, and there was a trace of joy on his face.

Zhou Jinyu asked: "Princess, what's the matter?"

Wei Huanian said: "I just received a letter from my uncle, saying that His Majesty intends to let him go to Khitan, although he..."

Wei Huanian did not continue, but said: "If he goes to the battlefield, if the father insists on letting the big emperor go out with the army, with him here, I can take care of the big emperor."

Zhou Jinyu paused, then suddenly said, "Princess, I also want to go to the battlefield."
