The red building is so arrogant

In the morning when the Hall of Supreme Harmony ascended to discuss matters, the sky was still clear, but it started to rain suddenly around noon.

The side hall of Fengtian Hall.

Tanchun put away the light apricot-colored oil-paper umbrella on the steps, shook the water outwards, and was about to hang it on the railing beside him, when two young eunuchs rushed forward from the slope, smiling all over their faces and expressing that they would hand it over to him. Two people can take care of it.

These two young eunuchs may not know who she is, but most of them have seen her guarding the prince, so they rushed to show their courtesy.

Tanchun thanked the two of them, and then lifted the corner of her skirt and crossed the threshold.

Mrs. Wang was turning her head to whisper with You Shi, but she failed to notice her immediately. Mrs. Xing got up first and called "Third Girls", and Mrs. Wang noticed it, and hurriedly got up and called Tanchun to come and sit down.

At this time, some people in the hall also recognized Tanchun's identity, pointing and whispering, and what they were talking about was nothing more than the scene of suppressing the rebellion that day-the news has become more and more evil these days, and it has already derived "Jiao Zhan Shiyi" The commentary version of "Riding a Thousand".

Tanchun walked up to Mrs. Wang without squinting, nodded at Mrs. Xing, Xue Baochai, and Youshi, then sat down beside Mrs. Wang, and said softly: "I just got the news that brother Jiao has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. I have been promoted to be a third-rank general administration envoy."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai reacted the most.

At the beginning, Jiao Shun expected that he would be transferred to the General Administration Department, and he promised in advance that he would assign Xue Pan a position, but at that time he only thought that he would be transferred to the Left and Right Administration Department.
In this way, there is no need to worry about my brother making jokes in the General Administration Department.

As for Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You, they were naturally very happy to hear that Jiao Shun was promoted, but they all had a little understanding of what this envoy did.

"The Tongzheng Envoy is the chief official of the Tongzheng Department."

Fortunately, Tanchun has done a lot of research on this, so he explained carefully at the moment: "The Secretary of General Administration was originally intended to be issued by the government order, and was in charge of official documents between the imperial court and the local government. Local official documents basically did not pass through the Secretary of General Administration, and the authority of the Secretary of General Administration gradually declined."

Hearing that the power of the Secretary of General Administration has declined, Mrs. Xing, who was originally happy, couldn't help questioning: "Changqing has made a great contribution, why was he sent to the cold yamen?"

"Auntie, don't worry, just listen to me first."

Tanchun raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Xing to be calm, and then continued: "In this dynasty, because the right to approve and review newspapers was transferred to the Secretary of General Administration, the Secretary of General Administration has regained some vitality— —However, because many newspapers have backers, the Secretary of General Affairs can only turn a blind eye and close one eye at many times, and does not dare to act arbitrarily.”

When Madam Xing heard this, she couldn't help muttering: "Isn't this still a cold yamen?"

"It's different now!"

Tanchun raised his voice a little, and looked proud: "With the telegram as a killer, the Secretary of General Administration can gradually regain his original power - sending someone to deliver official documents, how can it be convenient to send a telegram? "

After a pause, she lowered her voice slightly and said, "Besides, the Secretary of the General Administration is in charge of the duties of the superior, so in theory, he can often see the emperor."

For others, this may be just in theory, but for Jiao Shun, it is in essence.

Now everyone is infinitely happy again, what real power is not, is not as important to them as being able to see the emperor often.

Seeing this scene, Tanchun could only shake his head helplessly, feeling like throwing a wink at the blind man.

but……

Her gaze turned to Xue Baochai. Others don't know the importance of it. Sister Bao should know, but she is more indifferent than Mrs. Wang.

Shouldn't it be...

Thinking of his secret speculation, Tanchun couldn't help sighing secretly, sure enough, that enemy is the magic star in Rongguo Mansion's fate!
Mrs. Wang was happy for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was something more important, so she hurriedly pulled Tanchun and asked: "Then what about the empress? What progress is there now?!"

Tanchun shook his head: "I've never heard of this."

"Then Changqing, he..."

Mrs. Wang wanted to ask what Jiao Shun said, but then she thought again, if Jiao Shun had something to say, Tanchun would not claim that she hadn't heard anything.

Tanchun understood what she was going to ask, but she gave an inappropriate answer and urged, "Brother Jiao just got a day off, Madam might as well ask him directly."

Although she lamented that Jiao Shun was the magic star in Rongguo Mansion's life, her determination to fly to the fire was not lost at all, on the contrary, it was even stronger than before.

After all, if it wasn't for Jiao Shun, how could she enter the palace to take care of the prince?If she hadn't entered the palace to take care of the prince, how could she have been praised by the empress dowager, empress and others for her performance in suppressing the rebellion?

So she didn't care at all to feed the demon star more bait to make the fire more intense.

When Mrs. Wang heard the words, she first glanced at Baochai secretly, and then hesitated: "Then, then I... I might as well go to Jiao's house tonight. It happens that I haven't seen your aunt for a while. In the evening, Baochai and I All the hairpins stay at Xue's house."

After speaking, he couldn't help stealing a look at Baochai again.

Xue Baochai just smiled faintly, and didn't seem to have any reaction to this.

Madam Xing said not to be outdone, "Then I too..."

Before he could finish speaking, Youshi pulled him over.

Mrs. Xing had double rowed with Youshi a few times before, she knew the details of Brother Xiong's background, and knew that she was definitely no match for Youshi with Jiao Shun, so she had no choice but to hold back when she came forward to stop her.

Who made Jiao Shun more prominent now?

The more prosperous he is, the more important the ranking of intimacy between women will be.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had already made a choice, Tanchun stood up and said, "Your Highness cannot do without people. If there is no other explanation from the wife, eldest wife and sister-in-law, I will..."

"What's the hurry, sister?"

Youshi smiled and took her arm: "Now that King Zhongshun has been eliminated, is there anyone who dares to attack His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Li'er is such a Lier."

Tanchun said helplessly: "But Princess Nan'an has just been taken home by the concubine, and I have to deal with it all by myself, which is more tiring than before."

But it turned out that Princess Nan'an heard that her daughter had been pointed at with a gun by the rebel army, and her heart jumped out of fright. She ran to the Queen Mother and Queen to complain, and finally took Princess Nan'an back to the palace as she wished.

Tanchun was quite envious of Concubine Nan'an's dominance, but if she was in the same position, she would never leave the palace at this time.

However, everyone has their own ambitions. The little princess was really scared that day, and she was also out of her mind when she came back. It might be more suitable for her to go home earlier to recuperate.

Hearing what Tanchun said, Youshi couldn't keep her anymore, so Huitong Baochai sent her out of the side hall all the time.

Seeing her take the oiled paper umbrella, Tingting walked towards the main hall gracefully and heroically, Youshi couldn't help sighing: "The third younger sister can be regarded as registered in the palace this time, if there is anyone who wants to enter the palace in the future The matter, maybe she and Xiangyun took the lead."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to have just realized it, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Look at me, sister, don't take offense. Even if Baoyu can no longer be an official, it will not be a problem to become a rich man in the future."

Xue Baochai shook her head slightly: "Time is destiny, you can't force it."

With that said, he turned his head and went back to the side hall first.

Is this a confession?
Youshi pouted, and followed him back into the hall.

The afternoon was fleeting.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang found out at the gate of the palace that Jiao Shun hadn't left yet, so she wanted to wait for him to come out and walk together.

But Mrs. Xing and Youshi can only go one step ahead.

Mrs. Wang and Baochai didn't make them wait for a long time. After about a quarter of an hour, Jiao Shun swaggered out of Donghua Gate.

Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse in the car, and was about to order Caixia to meet him, but suddenly saw a middle-aged eunuch blocking Jiao Shun's way, and after talking to him, ordered someone to bring out a big box.

Mrs. Wang quickly changed her mind and ordered some men to go to help. She also got out of the carriage and stood beside the carriage waiting for Jiao Shun.

When Jiao Shun saw Mrs. Wang, he hurriedly handed over the box to the servants of the Rong Mansion to carry it. He strode up to him, cupped his hands politely, and asked, "Auntie is waiting for me here on purpose, or..."

The tormenting enemy!
Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of resentment. He had a lot of fun in the meditation room that day, but he left all the troubles on himself, which made him feel nervous, lest Baochai would make things worse if he couldn't think about it, but he was lucky and could pretend With a pious face.

"cough~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiao Shun coughed dryly.

Only then did Madam Wang wake up, and immediately said: "Of course I'm waiting for you—this is not the place to talk, let's go to your house first."

Jiao Shun glanced at Baochai who was standing behind, and thought to himself, is this going to be delivered again?

But it's not easy to use it at home.

With a filthy heart, on the surface he was still courteous, and chatted with Mrs. Wang for a few more words, and within a few minutes they each got into the carriage.

Speechless all the way.

When they arrived at Jiao's house, Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai got out of the carriage one after another, but they saw Jiao Shun beckoning to his servants and carrying the big box to the backyard.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help wondering: "What's in it?"

"I do not know either."

Jiao Shun shrugged and said, "It was sent by Concubine Wu Guifei when she was about to leave the palace. There was also a seal on it, saying that it was for me to open it as soon as I got home."

Mrs. Wang only thought it was some treasure given by Concubine Wu Gui, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

While following Jiao Shun to the backyard, he couldn't hold back and asked tentatively: "Is there any regulations with your mother?"

"It turned out to be for this."

Suddenly, Jiao Shun said: "Don't worry, I have confessed in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen that I will marry the third girl to be Mrs. Jianyou in the future. With this relationship, Concubine Wu does not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. It's not like letting the empress be buried in the emperor's tomb with her."

After a pause, he said again: "After two days for the crown prince to ascend the throne, there should be a result."

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said quietly: "I hope it will be a good result."

Jiao Shunxin said that with Concubine Wu Guifei's supercilious attitude, it would definitely not be the best outcome, and the outcome would probably be either good or bad, anyway, it would be basically impossible to get involved in political affairs, unless the situation between the DPRK and China becomes chaotic again.

While talking, he bumped into Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan and Hepinger who were coming out of the corridor between the two gates.

After seeing each other for a couple of times, it was natural to exchange friendly greetings.

After letting Mrs. Wang and Baochai into the living room of the main room, Shi Xiangyun realized that his master had returned with a big box.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Master, this is..."

"It was given by the empress in the palace. I don't know what kind of rare thing it is. She specially asked me to open it when I get home."

As Jiao Shun said, he tore off the seal casually, took out the key given to him by the middle-aged eunuch, and opened the copper lock on the lid of the box.

Seeing that he was about to 'draw the lottery', everyone subconsciously surrounded him, wanting to see what kind of rare treasures Wu Guifei had prepared for him, the servant of the dragon who had meritorious service in escorting him.

All the people present were 'our own people', Jiao Shun didn't think too much, he lifted the lid of the box unhurriedly, and then a 'baby' that he never thought of came into everyone's eyes.

"Ah, why, how is it..."

Shi Xiangyun stared round his beautiful eyes, covered his mouth and exclaimed.

Mrs. Wang was even more shocked than she was, pointing to the box and screaming: "This, isn't this the one in the photo..."

"Shh!"

Jiao Shun hastily made a silent gesture, and put the lid on the box again.

Shi Xiangyun's hand dropped a bit, resting on the two increasingly full granaries, he said speechlessly, "Why did Concubine Wu give you this reward?"

As he said that, he looked at Jiao Shun sideways, with a half-smile on his face, as if to say: So even the ladies in the palace know that the master and widow are ill.

But she immediately noticed that Jiao Shun's complexion was different, and not only Jiao Shun, but also Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai who were beside her seemed to have been greatly frightened. Until now, the two battles were on the verge of collapse.

Mrs. Wang is fine, Sister Bao has always been a prudent person, but no matter what...

Suspicious in her heart, she suddenly remembered Mrs. Wang's remarks just now, so she asked curiously: "Aunt just said that this person is in the photo. Could it be that you have seen her photo before? Does Aunt know her origin?"

"This……"

Mrs. Wang looked at Jiao Shun begging for help.

Jiao Shun immediately waved at the maids in the room, signaling them all to leave, and then said solemnly: "The person in this box is actually Concubine Rong who was loved by the emperor back then!"

"what?!"

Now Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan, and Ping'er were all shocked beyond measure.

Shi Xiangyun raised his hand and pointed at the box tremblingly: "How could the empress in the palace... still dress up like this!"

Although I just left it in a hurry, and although I have never visited a brothel before, Shi Xiangyun still feels that let alone the empresses in the palace, even the most despicable prostitutes will not dress up like they are in the box and pose like that. Obscene attitude!
"It doesn't matter how she got here!"

As Jiao Shun said, he quickly leaned down and locked the box again, then got up and said decisively: "The most important thing right now is to return this hot potato as soon as possible!"

As he said that, he told Xiangyun and the others: "Don't let this matter spread, those who were in the house just now, you all have to remind them one by one!"

Shi Xiangyun and the others knew that this was a serious matter, so they naturally didn't dare to neglect, so they responded quickly.

Only then did Jiao Shun call for his servant, and he carried the box onto the carriage again, and brought Concubine Rong back to the palace overnight.
