Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 80 The Xie family of the Cui family
"I think they have been too stable this year."

She can't control the court for the time being, so why not kill her in the inner palace?
She couldn't believe that the emperor dared to abolish the prince who agreed with him and strongly supported him when he was planning the New Deal reforms!
Late at night, Yiman stood at the door of Qingsi Hall, and the cries of various palaces were carried to Yiman's ears along the cold wind.

Ji Lan put the big robe on Yiman's shoulders and replaced it with a hot hand stove. "Princess, it's getting late. Let's rest first. Lu Bo has been taken care of and he will be back tomorrow morning."

Yiman nodded, turned around and was about to walk in, then returned to his previous position, "You can't sleep yet. If it's De Fei Xia Tongyi and others who have a high status or are favored, there will probably be a conflict. Brother Huang, are you awake? How will Father react when he finds out what I did?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince woke up. After hearing the reasons reported by the palace servants, His Majesty looked ugly, but he didn't say anything."

Yiman nodded and watched the palace people searching the palace in the distance slowly gather with torches.

Qingsi Palace and Qingning Palace were busy all night, arresting hundreds of palace people, no matter they were high-level guards inside the palace or sweepers outside the palace, there were no exceptions.

There were also concubines who went to the emperor and empress to cry and complain, but they didn't get a good look.It wasn't that the emperor and empress had any scruples about Yiman, but because it concerned the state heir, and the reasons given by Yiman could not be refuted.The emperor can speak, but others cannot do the wrong thing.No matter how weak he is, he is still the crown prince.

This matter reached the ears of the courtiers through the inner palace, and the voice of criticism suddenly disappeared.The ministers originally thought that the eldest princess was virtuous and soft, but this time they saw the eldest princess's resolute actions and decisive power, and they immediately did not dare to say anything more.

For a time, with the New Year, the DPRK and China were also stable and smooth.

Yiman was resting today and happened to bump into the Eleventh Prince who was returning to Hanxiang Hall while taking a walk.

The Eleventh Prince was most fond of people who liked reading. When he saw Yiman, he would drag her back to Hanxiang Hall to discuss poetry.

Yiman thought about Ji Chongrong's contribution to convincing Cheng Youseng last time, so he followed the eleventh prince and was dragged to the Hanxiang Hall.

"It must be the good spring breeze that brings the eldest princess here. Princess, come in quickly."

Yiman nodded with a faint smile, and followed Ji Chongrong to sit down in the Nuan Pavilion.

"Last time, I would like to thank Ji Chongrong for his letter and persuading General Cheng to send Miss Cheng here."

Ji Chongrong's expression showed a trace of embarrassment, and then he smiled slightly, "The cause of this incident is that the eldest princess has an overview of the overall situation and thinks carefully, and the consequence is that General Cheng knows the current affairs and understands the pros and cons. I am just relaying the facts, and the eldest princess doesn't need to say more. "

It seemed that after making the decision, Ji Chongrong's mood suddenly became brighter, and he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. It seemed that Ji Chongrong had drawn a clear line with Cheng Youseng.

Yiman nodded with a faint smile, and took a sip of hot tea.

"Princess, this is a new dumpling sent from Jiangnan. It is made of various herbs, glutinous rice and acacia beans. Try it."

Yiman nodded, raised his eyes and saw that Ji Chongrong seemed to have something to say, so he retracted his fingers and looked at her with a smile.

"What happened to the eldest princess?"

Yiman twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm a straight-talking person, so might as well be the empress."

Ji Chongrong nodded with a smile and glanced at the dumplings, "Speaking of which, the rice from Dongzhou is better to make such delicious snacks."

Isn’t Dongzhou the ancestral land of the Cui family?
Why did Ji Chongrong talk about the Cui family?
Yiman picked up a dumpling and squeezed it, it was soft and elastic, "When did the royal chef in the palace learn Dongzhou's craft?"

Ji Chongrong covered his lips and smiled, "This is not the craftsmanship of the palace. It was sent by Xie Cairen."

"Thank you, Mr. Cai?"

Ji Chongrong seemed a little embarrassed to talk to the younger generation, and his expression was a little unnatural, "A few years ago, many ministers and their families came to the palace to live temporarily, so the Xie family in Yizhou sent Xie Cairen to the palace. This Xie Cairen is Lord Cui's niece. .”

When did Ji Chongrong get in touch with Xie Cairen?
Or is Mr. Ji from Jiangnan connected with the Cui family or the Xie family?

Yiman smiled lightly and said: "Then this talented person is Huizhi Lanxin." Ji Chongrong has always lived behind closed doors, and he is too lazy to get entangled in relationships.Seeing Yiman not answering, I knew her heart was like a mirror.

"I didn't want to go through a lot of trouble, but I understand that my status as one of the nine concubines is all because of my father. So sometimes it is inevitable to be caught between various parties and do things against my will."

Yiman understood very well and nodded, "Ji Chongrong might as well tell him directly, why does Xie Cairen want to get to know me?"

Ji Chongrong felt a little embarrassed when Yiman pointed it out directly.After thinking about it for a while, he said slowly, "Perhaps because the eldest princess's vigorous actions a few days ago made Xie Cairen think that the palace is following the eldest princess's lead. After all, it is normal for the palace to favor the high and depress the low."

The Xie family was considered a wealthy family in Yizhou, and the children raised by their marriage to the Cui family could be so shallow.

Besides, when the Fanzhen family members entered the palace a few years ago, could the Cui family not be able to save even one person?Since he has become a talented person in such a short period of time, Yiman doesn't believe it if he doesn't do it willingly.

Did this woman enter the palace with the purpose of thanking the Cui family, or was she just following the trend?

Ji Chongrong didn't know that Yiman had been thinking so much for a while. Seeing that Yiman lowered his eyes and said nothing, he had to ask someone to give Yiman more tea.

Feeling a little hot in his hand, Yiman let go of the teacup in his hand and looked at Ji Chongrong seriously, "Where does Xie Cairen live now?"

"It's not far from Hanxiang Palace. Does the eldest princess want to see her now?"

Yiman smiled and nodded. Since he wanted to see her, he might as well see what Xie Cairen was up to.

Seeing that Yiman agreed, Ji Chongrong sent someone to call him.After a while, Xie Cairen arrived at the door.

So fast?Yiman glanced at Ji Chongrong and saw that there seemed to be surprise in her eyes, so he became even more curious about Xie Cairen.

If he didn't send people to keep an eye on her, he would have people keep an eye on Hanxiang Palace.

When Ji Chongrong allowed people to come in, a woman wearing a peach-colored butterfly opera flower robe came slowly with a charming smile.

He looked about the same age as the cartoon, with a charming face and natural charm. He bowed and bowed, and his posture was eye-catching.

"My concubine, Mrs. Xie, please see the eldest princess."

Is this person really a daughter of a noble family?

The legitimate daughters of aristocratic families have been raised as clan wives since they were young. Poems, books, rituals, and music are just trivial skills for them. What is more important is to cultivate their core courage and thinking in managing the long-term development of the clan, which is the inner wisdom to assist the lord in his actions.

It is impossible for Xie Cairen's charming behavior to catch the eyes of those clan wives and matrons.

"Get up."

Xie Cairen had been saluting for a long time. When he stood up, he glanced at Yiman with a charming look, and Yiman raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Ji Chongrong came from a scholarly etiquette family. Seeing such a sultry and charming look, Ji Chongrong felt a little uncomfortable.Seeing that Xie Cairen had arrived in front of the eldest princess, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed his mission.

"You guys chat slowly, I'm going to see the Eleventh Prince."

Seeing Ji Chongrong leave, Yiman knew that she had dumped this trouble on him.

"Princess, my concubine has admired you for a long time when I was in her boudoir. It is a great fortune to meet you today."

Such a sticky voice coupled with affectionate eyes, like an oiran's attitude toward a prostitute, stunned Ji Lan.
