Chapter 338 Regret
"Jing Heng also said about this!" Shangguanjing nodded with a straightforward look, "He said that fortunately, my mother's natal family is strong, and I heard that Uncle Tang has been promoted to a fifth-rank observer!"

"It's only half a level higher than Mu Yun, so how can I help you?" Mrs. Wu Dinghou sighed: "And the Li family... Sigh! When your uncle and grandfather were alive, the Li family was indeed famous, and now it is difficult to protect themselves. Can you still take care of Mu Yun? Your second aunt's brothers are all foreign officials, so they can't help you either."

"Then what should we do!" Shangguan Jing looked worried, and deliberately gave Mrs. Wu Dinghou a chance to speak.

"It would be great if Mu Feng could have a good position." Mrs. Wu Dinghou seized the opportunity and said, "He and Mu Yun brothers support each other in the court, and the future career will be easier, and it can also help Mu Yu in the future. To lay a foundation."

"But..." Shangguan Jing looked hesitant: "A few days ago, Jing Heng even mentioned to me about my eldest brother! He said that many people in the court are staring at our house now, and the tree is so big that it is the king of Huaiyang. After the disaster, my father was hated by others because of his great achievements, and was impeached many times. Therefore, after Jing Heng started to participate in politics, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to recommend the third brother first. It's not very conspicuous, and he's afraid that if he promotes his elder brother, more people will be jealous, and Daddy's situation in the court will be even more difficult."

There are reasons and evidences. Shangguan Jing had prepared this set of arguments a long time ago, and just waited for Mrs. Wu Dinghou to speak before throwing them back in her face.After Madam Wu Dinghou was silent for a while, she spoke again: "But Mu Yun is really struggling in court right now, and Mu Feng..."

"Mother," Shangguan Jing tilted her head, with a naive look on her face: "I have asked Jing Heng several times about elder brother's matter. Jing Heng said, it is better to let elder brother's matter go first, and be patient and slowly figure it out. No. After a few days, if there is an opportunity, I will be promoted to father's title first. I don't quite understand what Jing Heng said, but I think there should be nothing wrong with father being a duke since I am a princess. "

There is nothing wrong with that, but the duke title does not bring any real power.Even if he changed from Marquis Wu Ding to Duke Wu Ding, Shangguan Yi's actual position in the court would still be General Fuguo.The more practical thing is to be transferred to the general of the Jinwu Guard, or to be the commander in front of the palace. However, these two positions are the emperor's cronies, and the crown prince Xiao Jingheng must have the final say at the moment.

However, Mrs. Wu Dinghou couldn't refute everything Shangguan Jing said.After all, Shangguan Yi has been impeached very frequently in the past year, and the emperor seems to be quite afraid of Wu Dinghou, and Wu Dinghou knows this.

Moreover, King Huaiyang suffered a military disaster, he was indeed not clean, that's why he kept a low profile and did not make any big moves in the court after the Chinese New Year.

Marquis Wu Ding really did not expect that his son-in-law would be crowned prince so quickly, and Xiao Jingheng recommended Shangguan Mu Yun to be promoted to an important position in the Ministry of War, and the emperor did not object.It made him feel that the emperor's attitude towards the Marquis of Wuding's mansion might be a bit loose, and that he had been hiding the pearls for a long time.

Besides, Marquis Wu Ding, although he is very humble on the surface and knows how to behave, he has great respect for Lin Taiwei and Su Dashi, but he has always regarded himself very highly.In his heart, for Xiao Jingheng to become the prince, he has contributed a lot and should get the greatest reward.

He even believed that the Su family and the Lin family could obtain today's political benefits only by relying on his careful planning.Especially Lieutenant Lin, who picked up a prince's grandson for nothing, why? !

Right now Xiao Jingheng was making frequent moves in the court, recommending Lin Sixing and Su Qingyun at the same time, but in Wudinghou's residence, only Shangguan Muyun was promoted, which made Wudinghou feel a little uncomfortable.

In his heart, Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng should put his interests, the interests of his Marquis of Wuding's mansion, before the Su family and the Lin family at any time.

Mrs. Wu Dinghou understood her husband's thoughts very well.So after Shangguan Jing finished what she said before, she didn't answer immediately, but remained silent.The daughter's words made some sense, but the husband's thoughts seemed more reasonable to Mrs. Wu Dinghou.

Shangguanjing did not force Mrs. Wu Dinghou to express her position, but insisted on being a good daughter who respects and loves her parents, and suggested: "Mother, I don't understand what Jing Heng said, and I don't know if it is right or not. But I think he does It's for our family. But I don't know if he has considered it carefully. After all, he has no experience, and many things still have to be left to the emperor and the court ministers. But mother, I think these political affairs, It's meaningless for us women to discuss here. Why don't mother go back and discuss with daddy again, and pass Jing Heng's opinion to daddy to see what daddy thinks, or suggest how Jing Heng should operate, daddy is so powerful, With his guidance, it must be safer."

"It's a good thing to be safe." Hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Wu Dinghou could only nod her head: "I'll discuss it with your father when I go back."

"Anyway, I'm the Crown Princess now, so it must be more convenient for my mother to ask for an order to enter the palace than usual." Shangguan replied with a smile: "Dianzan will not lose face."

"You can't do whatever you want." Mrs. Wu Dinghou shook her head cautiously: "You, you should be more cautious on weekdays, don't let your temper go. After all, there are empress dowagers and queen empresses in the palace! Especially don't offend Empress Chen, lest you She made things difficult for you."

These few words were really for Shangguanjing's own sake, and Shangguanjing knew it very well.

"Oh." Shangguan Jing nodded obediently and agreed: "But mother, I'm quite afraid of Empress Chen, and I always feel that it's useless for me to please her. She didn't like her sister before. Isn't our family close to Prime Minister Chen's mansion? Okay, my sister was friends with Miss Chen before, how did she become so fast?"

"Ah!" Hearing her daughter's careless words, Mrs. Wu Dinghou sighed a little worriedly.In the past, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her daughter being simple, she was easy to control if she was obedient, anyway, everything was hers.But now, Mrs. Wu Dinghou couldn't help but start to feel a little regretful.

Shangguanjing is currently living alone in the palace, and Mrs. Wu Dinghou's concern for her little daughter has exceeded her own expectations.

"Jing'er, listen to what mother said," Mrs. Wu Dinghou touched her daughter's face: "The relationship between the big families in this family is not that simple. You can't be the same as you were in your mother's house when you are alone in the palace." , I have my mother to help you deal with everything, and you have to think about everything in the future, don't always let your temper go. You don't have to be afraid of Empress Chen, but don't offend her easily. If she treats you too much, you don't have to It's too much of a concession. Sigh! Mother is really worried about leaving you alone in the palace..."

 ---Here is the dividing line of Madam Wudinghou--
  Mrs. Wu Dinghou is really regretful, and she is really worried about her little daughter.In her eyes before, Xiao Jingjing was a tool person who needed to be tied up with family affection. Although she was her own, the child was not brought up by her since she was a child. She has feelings, but it's hard to say how much.

  However, the cocoon is said to be Madam Wu Dinghou. She bound her own daughter with family affection. But more and more deeply trapped in this not-so-simple "mother-daughter love".

  After all, it's hard not to be likable for a child like Xiao Jingjing who is so well-behaved and obedient, with a "straightforward" mind and a deep admiration for her mother, let alone her real mother.

  Thanks to Yun Qingqing, Perak, and Tuantuan for their daily dried fish! !
