court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 133

During the Chinese New Year period, no matter where or what department it is in Jin Anguo, it is also busy.

Different from the busyness of previous years, there are many more happy events this year. First, the marriage between Princess Minyi and Hu Luguo, followed by the marriage between Prince Rui Longqi and Duke Bo's palm Zhu Caiting, and then Jing The marriage between Long Jun, the eldest son of the royal family, and Princess Xiaoxiao of Prince Yi's residence.

These major weddings are over. According to legend, Shun Wang Longxiao's marriage has also been put on the agenda by Concubine Shu, and it is planned to be completed this year.

The Ministry of Rites has one head and two big ones, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is so busy that his heels are numb, and he doesn't know his own mother anymore, so it's not good yet.

One day after another, one after another, from the Empress Dowager to the Holy Majesty, sent him one after another complaints, blaming him for his failure in handling affairs.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was very wronged. Regarding the dowry and betrothal gift, he completely followed the established standards of the royal family. Who knew that compared with the emperor, the empress dowager clearly exceeded the standard by a lot, and he ordered it to be generous as if he didn't want money.

It's okay to do it generously, whoever says that whoever pays for it will pay for it, and there is only thunder but no rain. He is a clever wife who can't cook without rice.

He is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of all etiquette, but he doesn't care about money.He went to the household department to apply for money and goods, but the household department said that he did not receive the proposal and only paid according to the standard. When he raised the money again, the household department minister disappeared alive and alive.There is no place for him to beg his grandpa to sue his grandma.

The new year is the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is a big hurdle. If this hurdle is passed well, it is naturally a festive year. If this year is not passed well, his old life will be ruined.

As busy as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, there is also Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Years and years later, although the emperor had no intention of using troops, the emperor gave more than a dozen orders in a row, and the heads of several major military departments began to change their defenses irregularly.

This is a rule left by the Emperor Taizu. In order to prevent someone with ulterior motives and triggering a mutiny, the same leader of the fourth rank or above is not allowed to serve in the same position for two consecutive terms (one term is three years).

Jin'an Emperor Longyao had just been enthroned for the third year, and it was time to change defenses.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Yao took drastic measures in exchange for a smooth and honest look.

In this regard, there are usually people who are happy and others who are irritable.

Empress Dowager Bo and Bo Guogong couldn't sit still at first, until the news that Empress Xiao Bo was pregnant, Bo Guogong calmed down a little, and it was Empress Dowager Bo's turn to hold her chest and feel suffocated.

The pregnancy of a country's mother is a great joy for the whole country. Jin'an Emperor Longyao pardoned the world under the banner of praying for the child in the womb of the Empress Xiaobo.

Jin'an Emperor Longyao also rewarded Bo Guogong with a lot of flashy things that looked beautiful and luxurious, but in fact he could only show them off, and when his home was ransacked, they could be returned to the treasury.

Wen Xiaowan shared her opinion with Nie Jinyan.

Nie Jinyan couldn't help nodding after hearing this, "You're right, how much wealth is like a passing cloud, you can't take it away and you can't keep it!"

Wen Xiaowan knew that Nie Jinyan was going from one to the other, she pulled Nie Jinyan's finger, "Didn't the emperor make a decree to use this amnesty to investigate the case of our family?"

Emperor Longyao of Jin'an was indeed a man of affairs. At this critical moment in his struggle with the Empress Dowager Bo, he actually personally managed the case of the Nie family in order to stabilize Nie Jinyan. In the end, he turned the case over. , sent an order to the Ministry of Punishment to re-examine.

——This gave Nie Jinyan hope.

This thing that I have been looking forward to for 20 years, once pushed forward, Nie Jinyan did not have the energy he was looking forward to at the beginning, but there was an indescribable sadness floating in his heart.

With so many lives in the Nie family, it's just a reversal of the case, and it's all right to give you justice?
Don't say that the courtiers are wrong, they are right, like their Nie family, there are still people who have their homes ransacked, and the Holy Majesty is wrong, but they can't even mention a typo. It can only be said that there was no trial at the time, and the Holy Majesty was deceived , Turn over the wrong case for you, and you still have to be grateful to Dade... Is this the law of nature and human nature?
Nie Jinyan felt that he was a little tired.After this matter is really over, he doesn't care about anything anymore, he just lives a little life with Wen Xiaowan at ease, regardless of the officialdom, fame and wealth, it's better to leave far away.

Wen Xiaowan couldn't bear to watch Nie Jinyan's sorrow turn into a mushroom. This is obviously a good thing, no matter how much he is unwilling, isn't his wish for many years finally come true?
"Why is the queen suddenly pregnant?"

Empress Xiao Bo was pregnant at this time, which made the already delicate situation even more complicated.

Speaking of which, she has been married to Emperor Longyao of Jin'an for a long time, not to mention a son of a dragon and a daughter of a phoenix, she has not even given birth to a duck egg. It is indeed doubtful that she is pregnant all of a sudden - the last time Wen Xiaowan followed Nie Jinyan Before leaving the palace, the emperor hadn't visited her Qifeng Palace for at least half a year.

"There are some things around here. It is said that two months ago, the emperor stayed in Qifeng Palace after getting drunk, and the empress conceived in one fell swoop."

Then this is considered an accidental pregnancy after drinking?Wen Xiaowan unkindly felt that Jin'an Emperor Longyao was unlikely to be a person who could get drunk, let alone someone who could "lose his virginity after drinking" to the Queen Xiaobo, so the water...was deep.

A few days later, news spread from the palace that Jin Lan, a sixth-rank court lady next to Concubine Jia of Yonghe Palace, had been promoted to be a Jin beauty, causing a small disturbance for a while.

Compared with the surprise of ordinary people, Wen Xiaowan was much calmer. While peeling the orange peel, she said to the little Fuzi who brought the news to her: "One must be self-aware. There are some blessings that not everyone can enjoy. The higher you go, the harder you fall."

Xiao Fuzi stood beside him, nodded repeatedly and said: "The Princess is right."

Wen Xiaowan stuffed the peeled orange peel into Xiao Fuzi's hand, and Xiao Fuzi took two steps back, and threw it into the brass spittoon placed in the corner.

He winked at the little eunuch standing on duty outside, and the little eunuch came in immediately and took out the brass spittoon for disposal.

Waiting for Wen Xiaowan to stuff the leftover half of an orange into Xiao Fuzi's hand, and when Xiao Fuzi was about to go there in inertia, Wen Xiaowan held her back resentfully, "I'll give you something to eat!"

Only then did Xiao Fuzi realize that what he was holding in his hand was already pulp.

He froze for a moment, then smiled naively: "Thank you Princess for the reward!"

"Who are you and me?" Wen Xiaowan patted Xiao Fuzi on the shoulder in a friendly manner. The class relationship between them is still very deep, "Is Mr. Mo awake?"

Ever since Mo Feiyang vomited blood last time, his whole body has been groggy, sometimes awake and sometimes confused, ten of them are asleep at twelve hours a day.

Nie Jinyan looked very anxious, he had already sent his confidants to Xiaoxing Village, and kidnapped the fourth master over here - using 'please' is no longer enough, I heard that he is already on his way back.

Xiao Fuzi was holding the half of the orange in his hand, so he was not willing to eat it. He was very grateful to Wen Xiaowan for not forgetting the kindness back then. When Wen Xiaowan asked him, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Mo woke up for a while last night. The servant behaved well and asked Mr. Mo for some porridge, but he only drank half a small bowl."

"Half a small bowl?" Wen Xiaowan frowned, this...is this the prelude to suicide on hunger strike?

"Yes, the slave didn't think it was appropriate. In the middle of the night, someone fed Mr. Mo some more, but when Mr. Mo passed out, his teeth were locked tightly, and he couldn't feed him no matter how much he fed."

It can't go on like this, it has been seven or eight days in a row, and Mo Feiyang only eats a little bit every now and then.Not to mention the blood he vomited, he couldn't recover from eating this little food, just talking about the poison in his body, and he couldn't just eat this little food.

Long Jun had explained before that the reason why the Tibetan flower poison in Mo Feiyang's body did not break out so violently was because Mo Feiyang's good internal strength and physical strength resisted it.

After this incident, Mo Feiyang's internal strength was greatly depleted. If he couldn't keep up with his physical strength, even though Fourth Master Xing was forcibly pulled back, Mo Feiyang might also be powerless.

"Since you can only eat a little at a time, you should remove the ordinary porridge and replace it with blood swallow porridge." If you eat less, you have to eat well. "If you want to feed him water on weekdays, don't feed him ordinary porridge. water, after boiling the ginseng soup, feed him with it.”

Ginseng soup can hang your life, and blood swallow is the most nourishing thing, use these two fetishes to stare at, Mo Feiyang, you'd better live well!
The last time, the big last time, and the big last time, I owe her Wen Xiaowan so many troubles, are you ashamed to die?
At nightfall, Nie Jinyan just came back from the palace, and Wen Xiaowan was already asleep by then.

She thoughtfully took Nie Jinyan to eat supper, and she personally ordered the small kitchen to make wontons stuffed with three delicacies.

Waiting for Nie Jinyan to change his clothes and sit down at the table, the wontons just arrived.

Wen Xiaowan looked obediently at Nie Jinyan who was opposite, and said softly: "It's very cold in winter, come back from outside, drink some hot soup to suppress the cold in your stomach."

Nie Jinyan nodded, obediently took two mouthfuls of wonton soup.The fresh soup is boiled just when it tastes good, and when it enters the stomach, it warms the whole body in an instant.

Nie Jinyan ate three more wontons in one go, his stomach was well padded, and he said, "Ms. Jiafei, someone sent me a message today, saying that I miss you."

"How can you miss me for no reason? I'm afraid that I have added too much recently, and even the morning sickness can't be solved."

Wen Xiaowan and Nie Jinyan wouldn't believe this if they thought about it or not, but since the concubine Jia sent the message, she had to go there.The foundation of the palace had been laid down with great difficulty, and she absolutely could not throw it away.Saying some harsh words is nothing more than making complaints.

"You don't like to go, I'll find someone to come back tomorrow."

Nie Jinyan didn't even raise his eyelids, he didn't think about who would rule the harem in the future.The emperor brought the case of their Nie family to the fore. After this matter is over, he...he probably won't be dawdling in the harem anymore.

Wen Xiaowan knew that Nie Jinyan was protecting her, but she couldn't be like Nie Jinxing, hiding from people all her life, what's the point of living then.She is Nie Jinyan's woman, she wants to stand by Nie Jinyan's side, not to mention helping Nie Jinyan a lot, at least not holding him back.

"I like to go, you don't understand, I go into the palace from time to time to see the faces of the women in the palace, and my sense of happiness will increase rapidly," Wen Xiaowan said with a sigh of relief, "It's good for physical and mental health to take pleasure in others' misfortune! "

Nie Jin said, "...."
