After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 348 The business scope of the gang

Because there were many things to do, Shangguan Jing didn't stay in Qinghui Pavilion for a long time that day, and she returned to Chonghua Palace very early.As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Ying and Yin Qiao greeted her together.

"Miss, you came back too early today." Xiaoying smiled and took the stationery from Yingyue's hand, ready to send it back to the study.And Yinqiao rushed up to help Shangguan Jing take off his cloak.

"Has Xiaoxi come back?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"Not yet." Yinqiao quickly replied: "There are so many things going on today, and the palace is in a mess. It may take a while for Xiaoxi to come back!"

"Where are Qingmei and Xuemei?" Shangguanjing asked again.

"Today, the imperial dining room brought a lot of walnut cakes and jujube paste cakes," Yinqiao replied, "The servants divided half of it, and Xuemei and Qingmei were sent to Hanchun Palace for the young lady."

"Well done." Shangguan nodded quietly, very satisfied with Yinqiao's cleverness.

After a short time, Xuemei and Qingmei came back together. The two of them failed to see Shangguan Luan, but Qingmei did see her sister Yunque.

"My sister said that the eldest lady is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to see anyone." Qingmei told Shangguanjing like this.

"Then have you ever asked, did my sister get any news about what happened in the palace today?" Shangguan Jing asked after thinking about it.

"I know." Qingmei nodded.

"Okay." Shangguan Jing smiled and waved to Qingmei: "You have worked hard, go down and rest."

Shangguanjing waited in Chonghua Palace for a long time before Xiaoxi came.As soon as Xiaoxi came back, she told Shangguan Jing that after Chen Baolin came out, she first went to Weiyang Palace, and then went to Shujing Palace where Zhou Baolin raised her fetus with her aunt. rushed over.

"I'm afraid that half of the harem is crowded in Shujing Palace!" Xiaoxi said, "Lu Zhaoyi, Zhao Jieyu, Wei Baolin and the others have all gone."

"Oh?" Shangguan Jing tilted her head and thought for a while, then she was amused: "It's so lively."

"Miss, can we really just give gifts?" Yingxia asked a little worriedly.

"Okay, no problem," Shangguan Jing nodded with a smile: "Just do what I said, don't send anything imported, and then bring the imperial doctor to inspect the gifts we sent one by one in front of Zhou Baolin. .”

Shangguan Jing stood up again after speaking, Zhao Yingxia ordered: "Change clothes, we should go out for a walk."

"Aren't you going to Shujing Hall?" Yingxia was taken aback for a moment.

"Who said I'm going to Shujing Palace." Shangguan Jingle said, "Zhou Baolin is pregnant. With such a big happy event, the imperial grandmother must be very happy. I will go to Shou'an Palace."

The empress dowager of Shou'an Palace knew that a concubine was pregnant in the harem, and she was really in a good mood.Even taking a fancy to Shangguan Jing was not as unpleasant as usual.Of course, the old lady still didn't forget to seize every opportunity, disliked complaining that Shangguan Jing hadn't moved until now, and she didn't know if she could give birth to a great-grandson.

Shangguanjing just listened with a smile and did not refute.Anyway, after Zhao Jieyu's incident last time, the empress dowager dared not mention Xiao Jingheng as a side concubine in front of Shangguanjing again.

"It's quiet today." The Empress Dowager stretched her neck and looked out of the hall while drinking tea: "What is Xiao Jiu doing? You don't even come to see me."

"Grandmother, have you heard about it?" Shangguanjing immediately replied: "For some reason, the father suddenly sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his granddaughter-in-law to host the palace banquet for the New Year's tribute envoys. The granddaughter-in-law is young and has no idea, and so is Jing Heng." I don’t think I’m sure! But the royal father’s will has been decided, and the courtiers have been persuading me for a long time but they still refuse to change their minds.”

"I've heard about it." The empress dowager nodded flatly, showing no signs of happiness or anger: "Since I have sent you, it means that the emperor hopes that you two can gain some experience, so just do it well. If you don't understand, Those officials from the Ministry of Rites and the ladies in the palace are not just decorations either."

"The emperor's grandmother is very right." Shangguan Jing bowed slightly, and replied with a smile: "However, entertaining the envoys of the New Year's Tribute is, after all, a major national event. When paying tribute, I always look forward to seeing the beauty of the sky. In previous years, the emperor and the queen mother personally presided over the palace banquet, but this year, the prince and granddaughter-in-law came forward to entertain together, so the granddaughter-in-law was terrified, afraid that the envoys would be disappointed."

"Your words are not bad." The empress dowager nodded: "But the crown prince is the crown prince after all. If he can't see the emperor, it's the same to see the future emperor. Besides, those barbarian places don't rely on my Da Zhou's protection to be able to do this. Antai? There is absolutely no reason to argue."

"The emperor's grandmother said so." Shangguan Jing tilted her head and showed a cute smile to the empress dowager. There was a slight hint of intimacy and coquettishness in her tone, but it was extremely inconspicuous and would not annoy the empress dowager.

"But my daughter-in-law still wants to ask Grandmother to love us! Grandmother, after all, you are the most honorable empress dowager in our Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the queen mother bows down in front of you. Our Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. Looking at it, who else in the whole country can have a higher status than you? If you can attend the palace banquet, those envoys who came to Beijing will not be grateful. After all, although the palace banquets in previous years were received by the emperor and queen personally, the envoys We are not lucky enough to meet the empress dowager who is the highest in our Great Zhou!"

Talks a lot.A proficient barbarian is more annoying when he is arrogant, and more lovable when he is flattering.These few words of Shangguan Jing were all spoken in the Empress Dowager's heart, which made her really feel at ease, even every pore was so carefree.

After all, although the empress dowager became the last laugher in the former palace, she was born as a favorite concubine, and climbed to the position of successor step by step, and made her son the emperor.It's a pity that she didn't really sit on the queen's throne for a long time, and the first emperor passed away in less than a year.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager has never participated in any large-scale activities as the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty in her life.

After becoming the empress dowager, she appeared to have a high status in the harem, but with the empress around, the empress dowager looked more and more like a bodhisattva who was enshrined, the kind that was useless.How can there be a chance to participate in such a large-scale diplomatic palace banquet?There is no chance to enjoy the glory of being worshiped by the envoys of the vassal state.

Therefore, when Shangguanjing mentioned it like this, the old lady was already so happy in her heart that she could not wait to agree.But she still tried her best to put on an embarrassing posture, and refused: "This is not good. The Ai family is just an old lady who has lived in the palace for a long time. How can she participate in such an important palace banquet."

"If the imperial grandmother is not qualified, who else in the world is qualified?" Shangguan Jing was like a mirror in his heart, and immediately smiled and said what the empress dowager wanted to hear most: "When the first emperor was alive, the imperial grandmother was the empress, and the father was your emperor." Your own son, you, the mother of the Great Zhou, are truly worthy of the name!"

　---Here is the dividing line for the unreasonable three points--
　　Xiao Jingjing is good at unreasonably disturbing three points when opening the bar, blocking people for a while, blooming flowers on the bar, and flattering is also the same way, she can come up with unreasonable reasoning to coax people even if she doesn't care.

　　Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
