Chapter 42

There were no results in the court for several days, and King Ning pushed the Minister of the Household Department to take the blame in order to protect himself.

However, although the Household Department is under the management of Zuo Pushe, the grandfather of King Ning Zhou, the actual controller is not the Minister of the Household Department, but the servant of the Household Department, who belongs to Jiang Xufeng.

How can a minister of the household department let the prince easily let go, but he still clings to King Ning.

The concubine Rong Gui in the palace was not idle either, she went to Taichen Palace to deliver cakes every day.When he saw Emperor Kande, he began to cry, and did not intercede for King Ning, so he recalled the past with Emperor Kande.

Concubine Rong's expression was full of excitement, and she looked at the mist in Emperor Kant's eyes: "Your Majesty, Langer is the child you grew up with. You know his temperament best."

"Do you still remember when he was just learning to walk, he was still walking unsteadily and staggeringly, but he still insisted on coming to see you, no matter how much I can persuade you." Concubine Rong Guifei burst into tears as she spoke. , she didn't cry out loud, just shed tears silently.

"Your Majesty, Lang'er has a lot of admiration for you. The courtiers and concubines dare not say too much about the previous court. If Lang'er really did something wrong, please let the emperor spare Lang'er's life."

Emperor Kande's heart was already half softened, and Concubine Rong couldn't sit still after crying like this, she stood up and embraced Concubine Rong: "What are you talking about, Lang'er is my child, the prince of Dayong. Things haven't been clarified yet, so don't think wildly, and be careful of hurting your body."

When he went to court again the next day, Emperor Kant already wanted to let go.

The prince's lungs are about to explode, let alone whether it is involved in party disputes or not.The smuggling of salt has touched the country's roots, and the southern barbarians are rampant in the southwest area. Dayong has to send countless troops and manpower to keep the border safe every year.And the huge amount of gold and silver obtained from selling private salt was all for Ning Wang's own selfishness. Emperor Kant only wanted to lightly expose such a serious crime.

Mr. Song went off in person, citing scriptures, leaving Emperor Kant speechless.

King Ning's eyes almost pierced Mr. Song, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Shi stabbed him again.

Lord Xiao who followed to investigate the assassination case in the south of the Yangtze River directly produced evidence that the killer was a member of Prince Ning's residence, and the court was in an uproar.

Even officials who occupy a neutral position can't keep silent. The court is full of civil and military affairs, and everyone is watching.

Emperor Kant held his breath directly in his chest. Before the matter was found out, King Ning was deprived of the right to go to court and was confined in the mansion.

After the court was over, King Ning finally lost the energy to routinely taunt Jiang Xufeng, and walked anxiously towards his grandfather and father-in-law.

Jiang Xufeng caught up with Master Xiao in a few steps: "Master Xiao, Gu heard that Master Xiao is quite accomplished in painting skills. Gu Xin got a landscape painting, I don't know if it is authentic, can I ask Master Xiao to appreciate it?"

Master Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands, with more embarrassment on his face: "Your Highness is kind, but I promised to bring flower cakes to my wife this morning. If I go late, I'm afraid there will be no more."

Jiang Xufeng was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "This is an important matter, and Master Xiao will not be left alone."

Jiang Xufeng looked at Lord Xiao's hasty back, and cursed with a smile: "The fox of the family."

The Xiao family is indeed like this, never participating in the prince's party struggle, and will not accept the olive branch offered by any party.At the beginning, Mrs. Song also promised the queen in this way, and then took away Princess Rong'an.

In the mansion of Princess Guangping, King Ning was grounded, so Princess Guangping could not sit still.He was about to enter the palace immediately, but was stopped by the son-in-law Kankan.

Princess Guangping cast gloomy eyes, feeling that she had been tricked by Mrs. Xiao.She rolled her eyes and told the maid beside her: "Go and call the Second Young Madam."

Princess Rong An married into the Princess Mansion, and the whole family supported her, so it was time for her to contribute.

Wen Jing listened to the stewards in various places talking about some arrangements in the mansion. Autumn is coming, and all places in the mansion have to prepare winter things in advance.

Wen Jing turned over a page of the book lightly, and tapped with her fingertips: "Everything else remains the same, but this is the first winter day since I entered the mansion, and it will be paid from my private account, from the first-class steward. Those who do chores down there should add an extra set of cotton coats than in previous years."

Nanny Liu, who was in charge of the backyard regulations, chuckled: "The princess is kind-hearted. Those who do chores do a lot of things every day and dirty their clothes. How can they deserve such a reward from the princess?"

Lan Tiao took a step forward with a serious and indifferent expression: "Mother Liu, you can do what the princess tells you. If you can't do it, there will be someone who can do it."

Liu Mama looked embarrassed: "This servant girl, the princess concubine, has a good temper and is considerate of the people below. It's only the beginning of this year, and I'm afraid there will be complaints in the coming year."

Wen Jing glanced at her, and turned another page in the notebook: "Nurse Liu, you have been in charge of the backyard these past few months, and you have been doing well. But the slaves and maidservants in the mansion, whether they come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yes, the contract of living was signed in the outer court, even the Prince's Mansion has no reason to treat servants harshly."

"I won't pursue what happened before, and I will follow the rules from this year. As the princess, I am very clear about the accounts of the Prince's Mansion. Are you talking about Madam Liu?"

Grandma Liu broke out in a cold sweat, her face turned pale, and she kept saying yes.

In the capital city, there are decent families, and the people who do chores are two sets of cotton-padded clothes.Even a searcher like Jiang has no reason to oppress like this.

Before Wen Jing was in charge of internal affairs, Nanny Fang had always been like this, half of the money she got from it went into her own pocket, and half went to Song Liangdi.

After Liu Mama took over, she was still secretly happy in her heart, thinking that as long as things were done well on weekdays and no mistakes were made on the outside, the princess would not pay attention to these trivial matters, so she dared to stop her just now.

Wen Jing would not get used to these stewards' stink problems. In the huge mansion of the Prince's Mansion, there are many more people doing chores than the stewards.If things go on like this, it will arouse public resentment, and she will lose face as a princess.

Wen Jing didn't pay attention to Nanny Liu anymore, but continued: "Mother Xu, autumn is the time of harvest, so you can buy more. You can also buy some new things so that everyone in the house can taste them. The rest Yes, we can prepare things for the winter.”

"There is also charcoal fire, except for those saved by the servants. I see that the quality of Hongluo charcoal last year was average, so let's change to another one this year."

"Yes, I've been looking at a few more recently, so I'll buy some for your empress to have a look at."

Wen Jing nodded, she and Nanny Xu have always been business-like.At first, some were still unconvinced, but after watching it for a month or two, they stopped making a sound.

After Wen Jing finished handling the affairs in the backyard, Jiang Xufeng also wandered into Changchun Garden.

He looked in a good mood, and when he saw Wen Jing, he said, "Let's take the princess to the hot spring, it's a good time, and the scenery in the mountains is also very beautiful."
