cabinet first lady

Chapter 77

In mid-October, Yin Ji, who had visited the Liangjiang and Huaihe Rivers for five months, finally returned to Beijing.

During this inspection, he not only supervised the river works and presided over the overall situation to fight against the heavy rain that has not been seen in many years, but also thoroughly investigated the corrupt officials in the two rivers and the two Huaihe Rivers, and eliminated the long-standing abuses.He has made great achievements in Jianghuai, and he is loved by the common people and appreciated by scholars in the south.Even in the court, many ministers made a performance to the Holy One in recognition of his achievements.

Emperor Yuan was young and had never been in charge of the government himself. Naturally, these excerpts were read by the Empress Dowager Qiu who listened to the government behind the curtain.

Queen Mother Qiu was furious after seeing it.

She never expected that the person she personally picked up would actually turn against her, hurting the vitality of the Qiu family in Jinling, which hurt her vitality.

When Emperor Yuan was still the prince, Yin Ji was You Zhongyun and the prince's lecturer. Emperor Yuan trusted him very much, and it is still the same now.As soon as he heard that Yin Ji had returned, Emperor Yuan summoned him immediately.

"I pay homage to the emperor."

"Ai Qing, please get up." Emperor Yuan was only ten years old, and he still looked like a child. It was a little unsuitable to say "Ai Qing" and "Ai Qing", but the descendants of the royal family were all young and mature, so he didn't know everything.

Yin Ji got up, and seeing a trace of worry in Emperor Yuan's expression, he asked, "What's bothering you, Your Majesty?" No matter how young and mature he was, he was still a child, and it was easy to see his thoughts.

Emperor Yuan sighed and said: "A few days ago, I found a fun little eunuch to play with me. As a result, the queen mother found out and killed the little eunuch. Then she also found me a reading companion, who is my third cousin."

Qiu Ran's second son, Qiu Song, was an official in Beijing, and Emperor Yuan's third cousin was his child.

A gleam flashed in Yin Ji's eyes.Emperor Yuan had already begun to feel the empress dowager Qiu's interference with him and was dissatisfied.

"The emperor will be 11 years old after the new year, and he can consider taking charge of the government." He said.

"Pro-government?" Emperor Yuan frowned.

His face was very similar to Lingdi's, but Lingdi was obsessed with cultivating alchemy all the year round, and his complexion was always very bad, while Yuandi was very healthy.

Yin Ji nodded: "Sooner or later, the emperor will be in charge, but there is no rush, I just talk about it."

He seemed to just mention it casually, but from this moment on, the idea of ​​"pro-government" took root in Emperor Yuan's heart.

Just when Emperor Yuan was thinking, a palace official came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites Mrs. Yin to come over."

"But because of the Qiu family's affairs?" Emperor Yuan asked Yin Ji.

Yin Ji was somewhat surprised, and asked: "The emperor knows about this?"

Emperor Yuan nodded: "Although I have never personally governed, I have heard about it. Aiqing did the right thing. I will go with you to see the Queen Mother."

When Queen Mother Qiu saw Emperor Yuan and Yin Ji coming together, her expression was very bad.

She really underestimated Yin Ji before!

"Why is the emperor here?" Queen Mother Qiu asked with a smile.Now that Emperor Yuan is here, she can no longer say what she originally wanted to say.

Emperor Yuan still had a bit of a child's heart, and said: "I just heard that the Queen Mother Xuan Yin, I remembered that I hadn't come to pay my respects for several days, so I came here together."

"I see the empress dowager."

Queen Mother Qiu nodded and met Yin Ji's eyes.

Their relationship broke down, tacitly.

Originally, Zhang Anyi and Ding You were an excellent opportunity for her, but it was a pity that Yin Ji suddenly turned against the Qiu family, causing her to not only break her left arm, but also hurt her right arm.Zhang Anyi does not get along with Yin Ji, she used to support Yin Ji behind his back, now without her, no matter how powerful Zhang Anyi is, Yin Ji is weak, not as powerful as Zhang Anyi has many cronies in the court, like Shen Wei A capable helper, it will be difficult to have a chance to stand up again.

Now Zhang Anyi, Ding You, and Yin Ji have suddenly become the biggest beneficiaries, and have the opportunity to recuperate and prepare.

Really God is helping him.

Queen Mother Qiu's life sank to the bottom of the valley.

Once October is over, the New Year is approaching.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the Zhang family was very deserted. Zhang Anyi and the others were all in the suburbs. Except for Zhang Fu and Zhang Anyan, the rest of the family were women and children.Because the old Shangshu and the old lady had just left, there was no feeling of Chinese New Year in Zhang's residence.

At this time, it was less than two months before Ruan Muyang went into labor, and those reactions were minor, but the bulge made her move very inconveniently, and her knees were afraid of the cold, so she spent most of the time in the Chuanyun courtyard stay home.

This year has been unprecedentedly cold.

In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month appeared.

Because Ruan Muyang was about to give birth, everyone in Chuanyun Yard was very careful, especially the enamel and red glaze.

The doctor said that when Ruan Muyang was pregnant, his mood fluctuated a lot, his body was weak in the early stage, and he didn't take good care of him. In addition, there was cold in his body in the rain, and this pregnancy might be dangerous.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, it started to rain early in the morning.

It rarely rains in the capital city in the first month, which is very rare.

It was overcast.

Ruan Muyang sat lazily in the room holding the stove, talking to enamel and red glaze.

"Falang, what's going on with you and Heyue?"

During the few months outside, Fanglang and Heyue had a lot of contact, and no one expected that a love affair would develop between the two.

Red glaze laughed out loud, and winked at the enamel.After returning to the capital, the red glaze has been raised better, and it is no longer as thin as before.

The enamel blushed, glared at the red glaze and said, "What are you doing, a child? Don't meddle in it."

Immediately, she looked at Ruan Muyang, and said with a bit of shyness: "Madam, I have nothing to do with him."

At first glance, it is duplicity.The enamel is not as lively as Diancui, and she is not too young now. At first, Ruan Muyang was worried that she would really follow him for the rest of her life, which delayed her. "Although Heyue is a bit rigid, she is a good person and very responsible. If you agree with each other, I will tell the second master when the funeral is over, and let the two of you decide—"

"Ma'am!" Fang Fang interrupted her, "I just want to take good care of you now, and I will talk about other things later."

Diancui is married, and Hongya is still young, so now Ruan Muyang has only one who is the most powerful.

Ruan Muyang knew her heart and was very moved.

In fact, even if enamel became a relative, she could still stay by her side.Just as Ruan Muyang was about to speak, she felt a burst of abdominal pain, which made her yelp.

Both enamel and red glaze were quite frightened.

"Could it be that Madam is about to give birth?" Hongyou asked.

Fang Fang helped Ruan Muyang to lie down on the bed, and kept calling her. Seeing that Hong Yao was frozen in place, she immediately said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you call the doctor over?"

Both the doctor and the midwife have been prepared long ago, and they both live in Zhang's mansion.

Soon the doctor came, looked at it, frowned and said, "I'm afraid the second young lady is about to give birth."

"Oh my god!" Red glaze exclaimed.

Immediately, everyone in Chuanyun Courtyard was in a hurry, and it was still raining, making it even more chaotic.

Mo Wen was arranged to stay in the Chuanyun Academy and did not follow Zhang Anyi to the suburbs of Beijing. Hearing that Ruan Muyang was about to give birth, he rushed into the rain and rode a fast horse to report to the suburbs of Beijing.
