Spring is full of Jinghua

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yixi, the old lady and Mrs. Liu went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager. Mrs. Liu brought ox embroidery.

The old man and Cheng Guogong brought Meng Ciyan and Meng Ciling into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

People from the three houses showed their faces in the palace, and everyone was happy.

The Empress Dowager took Jiang Yixi's hand and said a few words.Although it was about Li Zhenbao, it also showed the empress dowager's special favor to the women of the Meng family.

Several favored concubines and princesses including Concubine Zhao Shu and Concubine Qu De were also present, sitting on both sides of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Qu De took Jiang Yixi's hand and said a few words, then took Niu Xiu's hand and praised a few words, and took off a bracelet and put it on Niu Xiu.

It seems that the years have not left the weather on Concubine Qu De's face, she is still beautiful and refined, she looks only in her early 30s, and compares all the concubines with the female relatives present.

She smiled like a flower, and her voice was soft.

"I heard from Mrs. Tang that Xiu'er is delicate and pleasant, with a gentle temperament, and she is also very good at needlework..."

Tang is Princess Ping.

Liu rolled her eyes with a smile.Concubine Qu De praised Niu Xiu so much, both because of her father Liu Zongbing's face, and because of Meng Cimo's affection.

A voice came, "Huh, it's as tall as a camel, so pretty."

Sitting next to Concubine Zhao Shu was Li Xi, the Princess of Shengping, with a big belly and a bad mouth as always.

Liu choked on her laughter, Niu Xiu blushed, Concubine Qu De frowned and stared at Shengping.

Concubine Zhao Shu hurriedly smiled and said, "Shengping was just joking with you. She is pregnant and fat, and she has to tease her when she sees a beautiful girl with a small waist." One sentence is high and one sentence is low. The little girl has a shallow face, so tell your sisters about this kind of joke."

It not only solved Niu Xiu's embarrassment, but also solved Shengping's rudeness.

Even if Concubine Zhao Shu hated Concubine Qu De and Prince Ping, she would never say "no" in person.What's more, in front of the empress dowager, there are so many courtiers and female relatives present.

Princess Shengping is spoiled and a straight stick.Even Li Zhenbao dared to hate, not to mention Niu Xiu, a girl from the pseudo-government's mansion.

The empress dowager frowned first, and then she didn't lose her temper after listening to Concubine Zhao Shu's words.She looked up at the little girl who was a little taller than the average person, with delicate features and childish looks, and smiled and beckoned her to come over.

"Come over to Ai's house and take a closer look."

Niu Xiu walked over, the queen mother took her hand and looked up and down, the beads on the wrist were faintly visible.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Sister Xiu, this string of beads was given by Princess Zhenbao."

The empress dowager smiled even deeper, and said, "She is a pretty girl, she looks good and has a good figure. Although she is a little taller, she is not too tall."

The empress dowager was certain, and everyone praised her.

After several people left the palace and got into the carriage, Liu's complexion darkened.She put her arms around Niu Xiu and said, "Xiu'er is not angry, wait until that person falls, and see if I don't slap that bitch."

The old lady and Jiang Yixi shared a car.

The old lady is quite satisfied with the performance of Liu Shi and Niu Xiu today.

"Mr. Liu is not stupid enough to embarrass the royal family. I'm so scared that I'm sweating. Well, the old man can pick people."

Jiang Yixi secretly thought, Mrs. Liu is not stupid at all.

She laughed and said, "Although the eldest wife has a hot temper, she knows exactly what to do."

Meng Cimo came back on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

He went back to the mansion in the afternoon, had a secret conversation with the old man in the front yard, and only returned to Fushengju at the end of Haishi.

Jiang Yixi has been waiting in the side room.Hearing that he was back, she hurriedly asked someone to heat up the food, and she personally helped Meng Cimo wash his hair.

After taking a bath, Meng Cimo came out with a blushing face.

After sending the servants away, Jiang Yixi filled him with wine, and Meng Cimo poured Jiang Yixi another half glass, and said with a smile, "Drink with me."

He said the purpose of going out.

He went to Jingzhou and obtained evidence that Gu Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Commander of Jingzhou had joined forces to embezzle the Mexican military rations.Prince Ping's people had been secretly investigating this matter. This time Meng Cimo went to find the deputy commander there. After persuasion and temptation, the deputy commander defected.

If this matter is verified, Gu Shilang and Commander Chen will definitely move their heads.

Gu Shilang is the father-in-law of the King of England, and Commander Chen is a sharp knife of the King's party.

If these two people are pulled down, the British royal party will suffer heavy losses.

This is great news.

Jiang Yixi said what the old man said about being promoted again.

Meng Cimo smiled and said, "That's right, the emperor will appoint me as a general of the Imperial Forest Army, and the imperial edict will be issued in two days."

Jiang Yixi smiled brightly, and offered to send a sweet kiss.

When she wanted to withdraw, her face was held by Meng Cimo, and the wine in her mouth slowly flowed into another small rosy mouth.

The wine is mellow and intoxicating.

The two of them also had no intention of drinking, so they hurried to the bedroom and had a beautiful night.

The next day, Meng Cimo gave Jiang Yixi three boxes, "This box is yours, and these two boxes belong to Cuncun and Yin'er."

Jiang Yixi is two jade hairpins with exquisite carving and high quality.He bought it in Jingzhou.

Cuncun is two pendants and two small ornaments, Yin'er is two small jade hairpins, two small bead hairpins, and two valuable small jade ornaments.

Some of the children's gifts were extremely precious, and Jiang Yixi felt that they were not from Meng Cimo.

She looked at Meng Cimo meaningfully.

Meng Cimo had no choice but to confess, "A few items were given by Uncle Ji. He knew you wouldn't want anything from him, so he only gave it to your child. It's a gift for Chinese New Year, please accept it. I told him, just this once. , I won’t help you any more in the future.”

Two days later, Meng Cimo was recruited by the emperor from the Fifth Regiment Camp, and named General of the Imperial Forest Army.

At the same time, Meng Ciyue's transfer order was also issued to serve as the capital of the Fifth Regiment Camp.

The Zheng family also had two happy events. Zheng Yu took over Meng Cimo's class and was promoted to general.His father was promoted to a higher rank and became the commander of the Xi Daying Camp.

The Jiang family also had a happy event, and the third master Jiang was promoted as a guerrilla general.

Gu Shilang has been imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and sent someone to arrest Commander Chen.

Ping Wang's party achieved a phased victory.

In order to avoid suspicion, the Meng and Zheng families did not invite guests. Instead, the Jiang family, which is not a big official, invited guests on a small scale.

They only invited some relatives and good friends, and Meng Cimo sent someone to deliver the letter, not the Zheng family.It's not to avoid Zheng Tingting, it's not to be too conspicuous.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no early court, and Meng Cimo formally went to the Yulin Army Yamen to meet Mao.

The Yulin Army Yamen is half an hour earlier than other Yamen, which is the beginning of Maoshi.Duke Cheng's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, he can just go out at the end of Yinshi.

Jiang Yixi watched as she hurriedly disappeared into the vast night, her heart was filled with sweetness.

It is also a kind of happiness to be able to send my husband to the Yamen every day.

At the end of the first month, Jiang Yixi was still immersed in joy, and a wonderful point came.

She looked haggard and her eyes were red and swollen.

Jiang Yixi asked in surprise, "Has something happened to Zhenbao?"

Miao Dian's eyes were full of tears again, "The princess has been confined for two days, I don't know if he can survive. Prince Yong asked grandma to go, maybe it's the last time to see my princess."

After finishing speaking, Miao Dian cried out.
