Chapter 264

When Shan Jingyan, who was sitting in Cining Palace, saw the list in her hand, her lips curled slightly: These girls now seem to have no family background, but most of their fathers and brothers are strong and promising people. It is impossible for some of these girls to rise to the top in the future. Thirty years after Hedong and thirty years after Hexi, don’t bully the young man’s poor, just take a look!

Shan Jingyan glanced a few times and wrote down all the names of the people on the list, then put the paper in a teacup and burned it.

Seeing this, Chunxiao next to him hurriedly stepped forward and poured the ashes into the flower pot beside him, rinsed the tea cup with tea, and put the tea cup back to its original position. Now, except for some tea stains left in the tea cup, she could no longer see the other side. Her movements were very clean and neat and quick, obviously not the first time she did it.

However, Shan Jingyan took a look at the camellia that was watered with tea and smiled lightly: "Don't just pour it in this pot of flowers. There are not many camellias like Mu Yun, and she looks like something. If you know you are trying to get tea every day, you won't know how to feel sorry for you!"

Upon hearing this, Chunxiao smiled awkwardly: "I'm also good at watering it. This flower is the tallest in our palace. Isn't it that I'm thinking that it's not conspicuous to fall in it! The flower is almost blooming, so why don't I have someone change it tomorrow?"

Shan Jingyan nodded slightly: "Okay, please let someone carry it down, so that the craftsmen in the flower house can take good care of them, so as not to stay here and encounter any accidents. I will move it back next year."

At this time, another confidant palace maid Qiuxia, Shan Jingyan, walked in and whispered in Shan Jingyan's ear: "There is news ahead. Master Shoujiao Lou has submitted a resignation note."

Shan Jingyan was a little surprised when she heard this: "If I remember correctly, the Prime Minister of Lou is only about 60 years old this year, and she has always been healthy. Why did she suddenly retire? "

Although she was also very jealous of the position of Chief Minister, she would never act rashly at this time. The key is that she pulled down the Chief Minister at this time, and she did not have a suitable candidate for Chief Minister. The Minister of Personnel is her uncle, so her political stance is naturally unquestionable. However, the cabinet has always had unwritten regulations, and the Minister of Personnel does not enter the cabinet. Although the other departments also have her staff, they are still far from the height of the Secretary of the State Council.

Shan Jingyan thought about it carefully for a while and couldn't help but frown: Once the head of the building went, the most qualified person in the cabinet was Xiang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiang Huifei's biological grandfather in the palace. This matter was a bit strange!

She looked down at the bright yellow phoenix robe on her body: Although this identity is extremely noble and glorious, but isn’t it too shackles and dangers?

Shan Jingyan thought for a moment, looked up at the pot of camellia, and said, "This pot of flowers is a little uninspiring. Let Mrs. Wen come and see it tomorrow. I haven't seen her little pumpkin and Shuhua for some days. Let her bring her little pumpkin and Shuhua in with me to see it."

After receiving the order from the palace, Mu Yun felt a little strange. Since Shan Jingyan became the queen, she rarely summoned her family or close best friends at will. This time she suddenly summoned her and didn't know if something happened.

Although she was unsure, she still called Shuhua over and gave her some advice. The next morning, Mu Yun took two little girls to dress properly and got on the carriage and headed straight to the palace.

Fortunately, the Wen family’s new house is now close to the Forbidden City, and the carriage arrived outside Kangding Gate in less than half an hour.

Shan Jingyan had already sent the eunuchs around her to wait here. Seeing that they were coming, the man hurriedly came up and smiled, "It's just that he has come to Mrs. Wen and the two girls. The empress is waiting for you in the palace."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "Grandpa Lao has been waiting for a long time. How can the Empress be so happy recently?" She said while stuffing a purse quietly.

The eunuch collected his purse and smiled even more sincerely: "Reply to Mrs. Wen's words, the empress is all right, but she is a little lonely in the palace."

The few of them walked forward while talking, but they didn't feel that the journey was long. After a while, they arrived in the Cining Palace. Liu Lu, a maid from Duke Cheng's mansion, was waiting outside the hall. Seeing that they were coming, they walked a few steps to meet him and smiled, "I haven't seen my wife for a long time. The wife is really more charming than before."

Then he looked at Shuhua and Little Pumpkin beside her: "These two are Miss Shuhua and Nuan. I remember that when I first met Miss Nuan, she was still a baby, but this time she had become a graceful little girl."

Hearing the words, Mu Yun also replied, "You still talk about her, aren't you? When you went out with the Empress, you are no older than her now. Now you are also a third-rank female official. Whoever sees you now, won't you call you Aunt Liu Lu?"

Liu Lu pursed her lips and smiled: "Mrs. Wen knew that she was joking about me, and they were all third-ranks. My third-rank is incomparable to your third-rank imperial edict."

Then he said to Mu Yun: "The Empress is receiving Mrs. Qiu at this moment. She has given instructions. Just go in directly when you arrive."

So Muyun and his two children entered the hall under the guidance of Liu Lu, and after saluting Shan Jingyan, they saw an old lady with gray hair sitting beside His Highness, and a middle-aged woman in her forties stood beside her, somewhat similar to Concubine Qiu Hui. It must be Concubine Qiu Hui's mother.

Mu Yun and his two children saluted to Mrs. Fang again: "I have met Mrs. Qiu, Qiu Gongren."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiu family nodded slightly. Seeing this, Mu Yun didn't care and stood up straight. Although Shuhua was still young, she still saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiu family were slow to treat her cousin and little pumpkin sister. She looked a little bad now. But she also took into account the current situation and it was not easy to get into trouble.

Shan Jingyan, who was sitting in the head, naturally saw all this in her eyes. She sneered in her heart: I don’t know how Old Man Qiu became the Minister of Rites? Even though the female family in her family was so unceremonious, no wonder Qiu was so arrogant at the time!

She lowered her eyes and whispered: "You guys come and sit down for Mrs. Wen and the two ladies." Then she called Little Pumpkin and smiled: "Come on, Nuannuan and come here, let me see."

Although I haven't seen each other for some days, the person in front of me has become the mother of a country. But Xiao Pumpkin is still young and doesn't think so much. She likes this aunt very much. When she sees her waving to her, she happily runs to Shan Jingyan.

Shan Jingyan took her little hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled and said to Mu Yun: "Your Nuannuan has grown into a little girl. I like her well-behaved and sensible spirit." Then she ordered the palace servants to say, "You go and bring the two sets of red gold-inlaid eight-treasure jewelry that came in outside."

But after a moment, the palace maid brought out two brocade boxes. At the warning of Shan Jingyan, the palace maid opened the brocade box and saw the treasure inside shining with a stream of light.

Shan Jingyan checked it out, took out a silk-filled treasure-inlaid collar and put it on the little pumpkin's neck. After looking at it for a while, she smiled and said, "Well, such bright jewelry is still suitable for these little girls, and the other set will be given to Shuhua."

Mu Yun knew that he was going to enter the palace today, so he specially dressed up Xiao Nanpu and Shuhua. As children, they looked good when they were dressed brightly. Although Mu Yun dressed brightly for them, he did not have the high profile of a nouveau riche. Xiao Nanpu was still young and didn't need to wear too many jewelry. Shuhua only wore a few simple and atmospheric hair accessories. Both of them now wore the collar given by Shan Jingyan, which made them look even more noble.

But today Shan Jingyan asked Mu Yun to bring her children into the palace, but she had some of her own little thoughts. She smiled and said, "I'll give you two little girls these two sets of jewelry. Take them back and wear them for fun."

Then she asked Mu Yun again: "Brother Jin must have gone to school, why didn't he bring Brother Liang here?"

Mu Yun hurriedly replied, "The child is more obsessed with his brother. When he saw his brother going to school, he shouted that he was bored at home all day. He followed his brother to school two days ago. Besides, the boy was naughty and I was afraid that he would bring him here, so he would be terrible and would be awesome if he didn't know the etiquette and hit the noble man."

Shan Jingyan smiled slightly: "What's the matter? Whose boys were not naughty when they were young? They were my boss, and they were a little more obedient recently."

Mu Yun replied with a smile: "The Empress is too modest. Who doesn't know that the eldest prince has been steady and sensible since childhood? Even the Emperor often praises him. Where is the mischievous thing about the Empress?"

In short, the two of them talked back and forth very lively, and they kept the Qiu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law aside and ignored them.

Old Mrs. Qiu secretly hated her heart, and she wanted to fly to her granddaughter's palace immediately with wings. It was much better than sitting on a cold bench at Shan Jingyan. But now she is in the queen's harem. If the queen doesn't ask them to leave, can their wives ask to leave first?

If she really did this, it would be a good match for Shan Jingyan's wish. With such an ignorant family, Old Man Qiu's Minister of Rites would have done his best. However, Old Mrs. Qiu had never been very cautious when she was trained by Shangshu Qiu for so many years, she still dared not offend the basic rules. No matter how anxious she was, she had to cheer up and smiled and listened to Shan Jingyan and Mu Yun having sex with each other there.

Mrs. Qiu was better. She had a stool sitting there, but Qiu Gongren was not so lucky. She stood there motionless and her legs were about to stiffen. She glanced at the stool where Shuhua and Xiao Nanpu were sitting, and her eyes were about to burst into flames: two white-haired girls also had a seat here, and she was a fourth-rank imperial edict at least. The mother of Concubine Hui was only worthy of standing like a palace maid. Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but complain.

In fact, at the beginning, Shan Jingyan really didn't mean to target them. She was just a pair of clumsy people who were confused. What's the benefit of calculating them? But these two people were too ungrateful. Mu Yun and the others were their best friends and the ones who went out of Cheng Guo. Moreover, Mu Yun also had a third-rank imperial edict on them. It would be fine if the old one was there, regardless of age or imperial edict. The one standing was really ignorant, and he didn't even pay back half a tribute.

If you dare to treat my guests slowly today, will you dare to neglect me as the queen? Shan Jingyan is not the kind of swearing in anger. Although it is not easy to scold her openly, it is not easy to let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suffer some secret losses on her own field?

After spending half an hour on them, Shan Jingyan glanced and seemed to come back to her senses: "Why are the two ladies of the Qiu family still here? Didn't they say they wanted to pay tribute to Concubine Hui?"

Seeing the blue-faced look of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Shan Jingyan felt even more disdainful: both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both old and have no such skill in raising qi! It's such a waste of time to live this age.

Shan Jingyan sat on the top and smiled and ordered: "These slaves are really good. I don't know how to remind me that you have been waiting here for so long. I think Concubine Hui must be impatient to wait at this moment. Come and send Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu Gong out very much."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiu family forced a smile and bowed, and their faces drooped after leaving the Cining Palace. Qiu Gongren also looked back at the gate of the Cining Palace. Thinking of what his family was planning, he thought to himself: None of the bitches in the Shan family is good, look, after his daughter sits in the back seat, I will definitely give the Shan family good fruits!
