Chapter 1201 Xiao Xiang
Bai Ningxiang listened to their feelings, turned to look at Lou Chenlu and Lu Wei, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Compared to the girls' ignorant longing for their youth, we are just Zheng Mao."
"The Empress is right. The youth has long gone away from us... What we leave to us is either gentle and elegant, refreshing, wise, or even graceful. These things cannot be settled without the years."
Lu Wei held a round fan in her hand, with bright red lips raised, and was boasting without hesitation.
"Empress, listen, my sister-in-law is really shameless. She is only bold and dares to say anything. Fortunately, there is no outsider." Lou Chenlu looked at Lu Wei, covered the corner of her mouth with a round fan, and giggled.
"It is said that a tiger father has no dog daughter, and our sister is a hero and cannot be messed with."
Bai Ningxiang looked at Lu Wei with appreciation. This person's personality has always been like this. Even if he gets married, he still lives freely. He has a sense of a generous family of military generals in his bones. He can also speak to such a person with pleasure.
Looking at the girls surging in the imperial garden, Bai Ningxiang pointed to the sea of flowers in front of her with a round fan.
"The lotus is not as good as the beauty's makeup, the wind in the water palace brings the pearls and green fragrance, and they are the most beautiful flowers in the imperial garden today."
When Bai Ningxiang led the wife to appear, the noble ladies came to see each other, and then they took the seat dignifiedly.
The weather is good today, and Bai Ningxiang directly placed the banquet in the Imperial Garden.
Even various dishes, fruit and refreshments are all selected from seasonal vegetables, fruits and melons, and various flowers. When you pair them with various colors, they are not only beautiful, but also have their own unique taste, sweet, salty, and fragrant and glutinous.
Before the banquet, Chief Han came and said that the emperor would not come after a while.
Bai Ningxiang was not surprised. Han Jing was not very interested in this kind of feast, and it was within her expectations that he would not come. Since he did not intend to enter the palace, he naturally would not come to cause trouble.
However, when the ladies in the venue heard the news that the emperor was not coming, they looked different. They originally wanted to take advantage of the feast to test it again, but the emperor did not show up at all.
Although the destiny here is regretful, they dare not show it. However, the noble ladies are different, and their disappointed eyes are particularly obvious.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Bai Ningxiang held the wine glass and took a sip of peach blossoms, and the mellow fragrance.
Before the time was four o'clock, the flower banquet ended. Before the wife left the palace, Bai Ningxiang each gave a piece of spring tribute satin to show her kindness.
Bai Ningxiang returned to Changchun Palace and changed into a light palace outfit. As soon as she was leaning on the Arhat's bed, she heard the palace servants coming to report.
"Report to Empress, Mrs. Feng is asking for a meeting?"
Feng family?
Bai Ningxiang frowned. What did the old lady ask her to do at this time?
Seeing the old lady wearing a life-saving dress and appearing in front of her with a crutch, Bai Ningxiang still didn't understand. What else was there to sit down and talk alone between them?
"Yun Ni, show the old lady the seat." Bai Ningxiang sat in the side hall, looking at the old lady's expression, "What's the old lady who has anything to say to me?"
"My wife pays me a blessing to the Empress, and I am disturbing you without authorization. Please forgive me." The old lady was slightly blessed and was helped by the palace maid and sat down.
Bai Ningxiang has done what she should deal with, so she naturally won't make things difficult for an old lady again.
When the palace servants served tea, Bai Ningxiang greeted her a few more words, just asking her to take care of her health and wait for her children and grandchildren to return triumphantly.
"Thank you for your care. My wife's sons are not good at helping you, and they cannot share the worries of the emperor. They have to trouble the emperor to plan for the Han family. My wife's family is very grateful."
Old Mrs. Feng looked at Bai Ningxiang with a kind face and greeted her politely.
No matter how you say it, those smart eyes glanced at each other from time to time, and the meaning of temptation was very obvious.
In response to this, Bai Ningxiang just pretended that she didn't notice it. She wanted to chat, so she chatted with her, just taking some time.
A quarter of an hour later, the old lady finally couldn't help it.
"Empress the guilt, the wife of Rong asked, I heard that the emperor and the empress are choosing a teacher for the prince?"
Listening to the old lady's tone, Bai Ningxiang was stunned and suddenly looked. Now she finally knew the old lady's purpose.
At the same time, I was also very funny. Why did the old lady think they would give this opportunity to the Feng family?
The prince's army is related to the court's major plans and cannot be careless at all.
Now she and the emperor stand in a different position. The family’s honor, disgrace, rise and fall are really nothing. The prosperity and stability of the entire court are what they should consider;
Looking at the old lady's slightly anxious gaze, Bai Ningxiang took the tea and took a sip.
To be honest, she is now very suspicious whether the position of Imperial College priest is suitable for the Feng family.
Will such a eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, in charge of the political guidance of Confucianism and the management of the world's academic institutions affect the style of Chinese studies?
"What the old lady said is indeed good. Both the palace and the emperor are worried about the election of the teacher. The third division of the East Palace now only has a vacant position as the crown prince and the grand tutor. As for the candidates, they are still considering. When the crown prince is young, the third division must be respected. If there is selfishness, the emperor will be ashamed of the court officials and the Korean people."
Old Mrs. Feng listened to Bai Ningxiang's tone, her face was a little stiff. What did she mean?
What selfish thoughts are caused by her? Her master served as the Imperial College Supervisor and has become the mentor of students across the country and is also the most qualified person to serve as the Prince's Grand Tutor.
Besides, whether this position has real power is just a good reputation. What's wrong with giving it to her master?
In terms of knowledge, his master is no worse than anyone else.
In terms of virtue and respect, her master is the tutor of all students in the world.
Even in terms of personal affairs, their Feng family is also a relative of the royal family, the emperor's grandfather's family, and the prince's closest person.
"The Empress is very concerned about it. My wife also listened to a few words at home today. It is related to His Royal Highness the Prince. The old man was very worried. He said that he must choose good teachers and friends for His Royal Highness the Prince to cultivate a generation of outstanding emperors for the court."
"Feng Jijiu is very grateful, I am very grateful." Bai Ningxiang nodded and turned to instruct Yun Ni, "Go to the cellar to move a jar of five-year-old peach blossoms to Feng's mansion to express my wishes."
"Yes, Empress." Yun Ni held back her laughter, blessed her body, and called the two palace servants and went out.
Old Mrs. Feng looked at the queen's operation, her eyelids trembled, and she stood up to thank her.
"Thank you for the Queen's wine. The old man really likes the peach blossoms. It is said that the taste is mellow and has a faint peach blossom fragrance."
"Feng Jijiu has taste, and Taohuazui is a fine wine in our winery. It has extremely high quality. The longer the cellar is, the more mellow the taste. I heard from the people below that Taohuazui is in short supply, and the inventory in my hands is also limited."
Speaking of peach blossoms, Bai Ningxiang directly changed the topic. If the old lady knew her, she would pretend that nothing had happened. If the old lady was still stubborn... The Imperial College is indeed not suitable for the Feng family.
