The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 723
That hand towel was dipped in cold water, putting it on his face made Feng Yao feel refreshed a lot.He hurriedly wiped his face, combed his hair in front of a small bronze mirror on the table, and followed Moli out.

But Mo Li didn't take Feng Yao away immediately, instead he took Feng Yao to the restaurant, tossed and tumbled in the back kitchen for a while, and came out with a boiled egg while peeling the skin, "Let's use this as breakfast, don't Go back hungry."

"I don't want to eat this... um." Feng Yao was about to shirk, but Moli had already stuffed the peeled boiled egg into his mouth.

"Let's go while eating." Mo Li smiled, seeing Feng Yao's choking staring eyes was also interesting.

There is a small road back to the capital from Zilan Bieyuan, if it wasn't for the purpose of deceiving people yesterday, Feng Yao would come here the closest.Now she and Mo Li are walking hand in hand on this road.But at this time, the sky is just dawning, and the morning light is long, which is quite artistic.

When we got to the side of the main road leading to the gate of the city, we could see that the gate had just opened and the soldiers guarding the gate were still dozing off.There are carts coming and going into the city, and they are vegetable farmers who go to the city early to deliver vegetables.

Mo Li stopped at the end of the path, helped Feng Yao tie the cloak again, lowered the cap on her head, and said: "I'm here to watch you enter the city, don't look back, and don't pay attention to the guards at the gate. Soldiers, just keep your head down and walk."

"Well, I know." Feng Yao agreed, but still tightened Moli's hand, reluctantly said: "I will come at night and bring you food. Do you want to bring another jug ​​of wine?"

Mo Li shook his head first, probably because of the amount of alcohol he could get drunk on just one drink.But immediately changed his head to nod, and said with some sourness: "Just bring a pot of the kind you and Su Junqing often drink."

"Ah?" Feng Yao was taken aback, then covered his mouth and chuckled.Finally nodded and said: "Okay, I see. I brought it, you have to drink it up in one gulp." After speaking, he let go of Moli's hand, turned and walked towards the city gate.After walking a few steps, he stopped, as if he wanted to turn around, but he held back after all.

Seeing Feng Yao's back getting farther and farther away, Mo Li turned and left until he entered the city gate.

On this day, Feng Yao was always very energetic in doing things, he didn't drag his feet in everything, he had to deal with it cleanly and neatly.

In the early court, the emperor still didn't come, Feng Yao, as the empress dowager, was already able to preside over the overall situation.Because Li Sizhengqing was choked by Feng Yao yesterday, so no one participated in the performance today.In fact, everyone wants to be more stable before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as not to touch the queen's beard easily.

After the imperial court disbanded, Feng Yao specially ordered this year's champion Zhou Jingwen to stay.Because the Emperor was unwell after this year's top three senior high school, he has not been sent an official post. After Feng Yao was established as the crown prince, he arranged their respective positions.

Moreover, none of the top three this year was released. Feng Yao wanted to cultivate people he could trust, so he stayed in Beijing as an official.This number one scholar became a clerk of the Ministry of Industry, and he was an extremely small Beijing official.

But anyone with insight knows that there are no petty officials in the capital, even a janitor in the palace is more dignified than a county magistrate in another county.So this Zhou Jingwen is very grateful to Feng Yao, he is a kind person.

Feng Yao said directly to him: "I have an errand for you to handle. It stands to reason that you are the clerk, and you don't need to work hard and motivate yourself. But I trust you, so I entrust this matter to you. Your hand, don't let Ben Gong down."

Zhou Jingwen was a little flattered. In fact, with his official rank, he didn't even have the chance to go to the dynasty.If it wasn't for the empress dowager's permission, he might just be stuck in the Ministry of Industry all day long, facing piles of blank paper and making records.

So when Feng Yao opened his mouth now, he immediately nodded and said, "I will definitely not disgrace my mission."

Feng Yao smiled lightly, and comforted him: "It's not a big deal, I won't let you do it with your heart. It's about money and money, that's why I want to find someone who is not deep in the officialdom and is still innocent to do this. Things will do."

Feng Yao's words meant a lot, implying that Zhou Jingwen was still innocent and had never been contaminated by the corruption of officialdom.It also meant a warning, telling him not to be like those filthy officials who bulged their pockets and lost a lifetime of healing.

Zhou Jingwen almost got down on his knees to promise that he would live up to the trust of the empress dowager by saying that to be an official is to be honest, to be a person is to be upright, and to repay kindness with gratitude.

Feng Yao nodded, took out a written receipt and a list from his sleeve, handed it to him and said: "Yesterday, I have already agreed with Yuan Tuo and Master Yuan that there will be a withdrawal of 3 taels of silver. You Take money to do the following things, if you do well, I will definitely reward you. If you don’t do well..."

Feng Yao paused slightly when he said this, and Zhou Jingwen's cold sweat immediately flowed down.It can also be seen that his face has turned from white to gray, and he looks quite nervous.

Feng Yao waved his hand easily and said: "You don't have to be nervous, even if you don't do well, I won't blame you. As long as the accounts of the silver and the in and out are clear, and the money is spent on the right way, I won't blame you. The palace will not blame you either. And if someone falsely accuses you, this palace will naturally rectify your name."

Feng Yao's words had put an end to his worries, Zhou Jingwen immediately knelt down to thank him.Then he respectfully opened the list Feng Yao gave him and looked through it.Then he said to Feng Yao: "Your Highness, don't worry, the subordinate officials can still handle such trivial matters. Not for His Highness's rewards, but for these facts and good deeds for the people, the subordinate officials will do their best."

"Well, get the money today and work hard. I'll let you know from the Ministry of Industry, and you don't have to go there starting tomorrow." After Feng Yao finished speaking, he took a gold medal from his waist and said, "This The gold medal is considered as a token, and I will show it to Mr. Yuan. The receipt is with him, and you can keep the gold medal for now. If there is any difficulty, just show the gold medal and say that this palace asked you to do it."

Zhou Jingwen took the gold medal with both hands, completely relieved.After all, with the gold medal in hand, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager would not use herself as a target; she would have more confidence in doing things.

Moreover, Fengyao told Zhou Jingwen that he didn't have to go to the Ministry of Industry from tomorrow. The implication of this sentence was that "when things are done well, there will naturally be a promotion", and naturally there is no need to go to the Ministry of Industry to be a small clerk.But another meaning was to tell Zhou Jingwen that if things were not done well, even such a small official might not be able to keep him.

After Zhou Jingwen left, Feng Yao returned to the residence.

Walked all night, but came back in the morning and hurriedly changed into court clothes and went to court again, Feng Yao is also very sleepy now.I planned to lie down and take a nap for a while, but just as I was about to fall asleep in a daze, I heard a "snap" sound from the window lattice.
