Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 494
Sister Wang Xi is the queen.Queen Mother Li gave up Kunning Palace to the new queen.She herself moved to the Compassion Palace.

The main hall of Kunning Palace.

More than 100 noble ladies of the third rank and above in Beijing were ordered to kneel on the ground and meet with the queen.

Bai Xiaoyan and Xiangxiang also knelt in the pile of orders.

Empress Wang entered the hall with the support of Wang An, the steward of Kunning Palace.

A group of noble ladies ordered the mountain to shout: "The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The 13-year-old Queen Wang ordered: "Be flat."

The noble ladies thanked them and got up one after another.

Empress Wang turned to Wang An and said, "Go, bring two chairs. Zhu Xiang is the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Li and the county magistrate of Daming. She is the imperial sister of the palace, how can she stand? Madam He is Empress Dowager Li's guest of honor should be a guest of honor when she comes to this Palace."

Bai Xiaoyan and Xiangxiang were flattered.

Not long after, Wang An brought two young eunuchs and brought two chairs.The mother and daughter of the He family thanked them and sat down.

More than 100 wives were standing, but the mother and daughter of the He family were sitting.None of the standing wives envied the He family mother and daughter who were sitting.

The reason for this is nothing more than Bai Xiaoyan's popularity among ladies circle!She has been in the circle of noble ladies in the capital for 20 years, and she is generous and makes good friends.Which married woman doesn't like Mrs. He who knows how to behave?
Queen Wang chatted with all the wives for a while.She speaks well and behaves dignifiedly.Bai Xiaoyan couldn't help thinking of a sentence He Liu often said: the ass determines the head.

Before becoming a queen, Sister Wang Xi was just a 13-year-old girl who had no human experience.After becoming a queen, she became a real mother of a country as if overnight.

After more than an hour, Queen Wang said: "It's almost time, everyone, please go back."

The wives saluted the queen and left one after another.

The mother and daughter of the He family walked to the gate of Kunning Palace, but Wang An ran over and stopped them.

Wang An lowered his voice and said: "Mrs. He, Your Highness the county lord. Queen Wang said, please stay and have lunch with her."

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Oh, thank you, Mr. Wang, for a message."

After speaking, Bai Xiaoyan untied a sachet from her waist and handed it to Wang An.

Wang An hastily declined: "Mrs. He, how can I dare to ask for your reward."

Bai Xiaoyan smiled and said: "The prince served the queen well. This is a great contribution. Some sundries are not respect."

When Wang An heard the words, it was not easy to refuse.He took the sachet.

The sachet was not sundries, but a dozen heavy golden melon seeds!

Dining Hall of Kunning Palace.

There was a table in front of Queen Wang.Ten steps away, Bai Xiaoyan and Xiangxiang were sitting at another table.

Queen Wang asked Xiangxiang: "Sister Huang has always been with General Li in Liaodong. How long will you stay in Beijing this time?"

Xiangxiang replied: "I will tell you, Empress, to live until the beginning of spring next year."

Queen Wang smiled and said: "That's very good. If Miss Huang is free recently, she can enter the palace with Mrs. He and talk with me."

Queen Wang turned her head and told Wang An: "The envoy sent by North Korea to congratulate the emperor's wedding has given me a few thousand-year-old ginseng. You go and get it."

Wang An said: "Yes."

Queen Wang said to Bai Xiaoyan: "At this age, I don't need to eat ginseng tonic. Mrs. He, you can take it home."

Bai Xiaoyan got up quickly, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My maidservant, thank you Queen for your kindness."

Queen Wang hurriedly said: "Mrs. He, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony! Sir He is a pillar of the court. He has worked for the court for decades. You are his virtuous helper, and you have made contributions to the court. From now on, I will bestow you with the Kunning Palace." No need to kneel."

Queen Wang showed great favor to the mother and daughter of the He family.This is nothing more than telling He Liu: Uncle Liu, you helped me become the empress.This palace will not forget this matter.

Finished lunch at Kunning Palace.The mother and daughter of the He family left the palace with the reward given by the queen.

As soon as she got home, Bai Xiaoyan put the brocade box containing ginseng in He Liu's hand: "This is a gift from the empress to our family."

He Liu nodded: "Oh. The queen's reward should be placed in the hall for offering."

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Queen Wang really treats our He family differently. There are more than 100 wives who went to Kunning Palace to congratulate them today. She only gave seats to me and Xiangxiang, and left us for lunch."

He Liu suddenly asked: "By the way, who is the steward of Kunning Palace now?"

Bai Xiaoyan said: "It's Wang An. He used to work for Empress Dowager Li."

He Liu thought for a while: "I remembered, this Wang An is Feng Bao's disciple and grandson. He is quite favored in front of Feng Bao. I hope he is not a treacherous villain like Zhang Jing."

Wang An is really not a treacherous villain like Zhang Jing.He is pure in nature.In the next few decades, he sheltered the virtuous ministers and gave them honest advice.Unfortunately, in his later years, he promoted a man named Wei Zhongxian.As a result, he was not guaranteed at the end of the festival.

Of course, these are things to follow.

He Liu's precious grandson has arrived in the capital.He simply stopped going to Fusi's stall in Beizhen to work.Leading Xiao Hanjiao to play around crazy every day.

On this day, He Liu, carrying an iron pickaxe and a fishing rod, brought little Hanjiao to the bank of Yongding River.

The Yongding River is frozen over.He Liu punched a big hole in the river with the pickaxe.Then the grandparents and grandchildren set fishhooks at the entrance of the cave.

After a while, the fishing line stretched straight, and a huge carp was caught.

Xiaohan clapped his hands proudly: "Ahaha, there is sweet and sour carp for lunch!"

The grandfather and grandson were talking, and by the river, a person shouted at He Liu: "Master Liu!"

He Liu took a look and saw that the man was Shen Weijing from Fusi Japanese Love Hundred Households Institute in Nanzhen.

He Liu has never forgotten Xu Wenchang's prophecy.He suggested that Liu Shouyou, Li Heijiu and others should set up the Japanese Love Hundred Household Office under the Nanzhen Fusi.The wrestlers under the Japanese-love hundred households learn Japanese and Korean all day long.As a member of a hundred households, Shen Weijing disguised himself as a sea merchant many times, and went deep into the hinterland of the Wa Kingdom to inquire about the internal situation of the Wa Kingdom.

He Liu carried the fishing rod and pickaxe, and led his grandson from the icy surface to the river carefully.

Shen Weijing knelt down and kowtowed: "My subordinate, Shen Weijing, pay homage to the sixth master!"

He Liu hurriedly said: "Please hurry up. This trip will take you half a year to go to Wa Kingdom, right?"

Shen Weijing nodded.

He Liu asked: "Have you found any valuable news?"

Shen Weijing said: "There is a big event. The East India Company of the Western Netherlands started a business with several vassal lords of the Wa Kingdom. A large number of Western firearms were transported to the Wa Kingdom. Now, several vassal armies of the Wa Kingdom are equipped with There are a lot of firecrackers and big tubes. Oh, big tubes are Japanese dialects, which means Franji cannons."

He Liu frowned: "This is very bad. It would be fine if the Japanese pirates held firearms against each other and fought among themselves. If one day, they aimed their firearms at North Korea and Ming Dynasty... by then , There must be a big battle between our Daming and the Japanese pirates!"
