Chapter 237 Sending a Bead Crown
Chapter 237: Repaying the Bead Crown
The Wan family is now... The emperor's kindness is great. No one knows that this imperial concubine is favored by everyone. Although Concubine Bai gave birth to a prince, Concubine Wan had the final say in the palace. Empress Wang would not offend Concubine Wan. The emperor also liked to be in Zhaode Palace all day long. The uncles of the Wan family are now considered to be in a breeze and water. It is not easy to get close to the Wan family... The uncles of the Wan family have their eyes on their foreheads. Wan An suddenly thought of someone, and in fact, he should still be liked by the emperor... If the emperor likes this, he will not have to please anyone.
Instead of going to Wanjia, it is better to enter the cabinet as soon as possible and let the emperor trust him. If he enters the cabinet, he will have to obtain the acquiescence of several adults. After more than ten years, his reputation is still good, but what kind of people does the emperor need? This is still necessary to inquire from the eunuchs in the palace, otherwise he will go to the young scholars in the Hanlin Academy who are closer to the emperor. The emperor does not like to deal with older people at the young age. In the Hanlin Academy, Shang Gongzi is the son of the chief assistant Shang Lu, and it is a good way to pull him close. Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, is upright. If he wants to make him affirm himself, he will not be inconvenient to mix with Wantong.
"If you want to say that the emperor likes it..." Shang Liangchen said, "Actually, I just said a few words to the emperor. My father is often with the emperor..."
"Master Shang is so busy..." Wan An said, "The officials dare not waste Master Shang's time. If the young master is willing, it is better to build a bridge for the officials. As long as he has the opportunity to meet the saint, the officials will make him leave a good impression of the officials..."
"Master Wan, this is OK?" Liangchen said, "But I have known that lord is powerful for a long time, but the officials are helpless. My father doesn't think I am good at governing the country, so I can only make a living here. If you want to see the emperor, you might as well go to the people in the palace..."
This guy is so vague. After Wan'an took advantage of the soft nails, he decided to go to Yongchang. This acquaintance is easy to do. Yongchang is indeed neat, and Li Tai is willing to help him. Besides, he has always been doing a lot of things with their father and son.
"It's not difficult to meet the Imperial Concubine..." Yongchang said, "But it's hard to please the Imperial..."
"What does the Empress like the most?"
"I heard Eunuch Liang talk about that... the Empress likes all the gold, silver, pearls and jade. As long as the Empress says a few words... I can indeed help the adults... but the Emperor doesn't like the Empress interfering in the affairs of the court..."
"Eunuch Li, I just need to leave a good impression on the Empress, especially the emperor. If he can find that the officials are different from those people, he will naturally like them. In the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness..."
There is always a way in the palace...
The spring breeze is just right... The lonely Zhen'er is sitting by the Xiyuan Lake... Wan'an approaches her.
"The lower official is from the Ministry of Rites. He has sent the new court uniform to the Empress. Please check it out..."
What Zhen'er knew best... Zhu Jianshen came to Xiyuan Xiaozhu for excuse... It was nothing more than to cover him... and to sneak out to see that woman... what they did... Zhen'er also knew very well... In the past two years, the prince born by Concubine Bai survived. Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied, but the emperor's heart would not return to her. It was under her nose, with Ji Yuanzhi... Ji Yuanzhi was transferred to Xiyuan... There were even fewer people here... because she was already the emperor's person... Here is just a female history in charge of the study... There were only a few people coming and going in her courtyard. Did that girl intentionally... After so long, she just thought the emperor was a guard...
Zhen'er didn't do anything herself, and asked Wang Zhi to look at the clothes. Her mind was not here at all...
Wan'an stuffed a brocade bag into Wang Zhi's hand: "Little father-in-law... I have a little meaning... If the Empress is dissatisfied, please give me a sentence. Here is Wan'an, the Minister of Rites..."
Wang Zhi saw this trick many times, and he was nothing more than rewarding the eunuch with a few taels of silver, so he took the gift bag naturally. But the gift bag seemed to be not ordinary silver, round... At first glance, wasn't it Dongzhu? This is much more expensive than silver.
Concubine Wan is not in the best mood recently. In fact, whom Wansui is with is a trivial matter. Concubine Bai is always thinking about whether her son can become the crown prince... In addition, this week's Empress Dowager was hypocritical about discussing with her. This is not an obvious thing about the lice on the bald man's head... The status of the infertile queen may not be guaranteed in the future. Wang Zhongying had already brought it into the palace by herself and didn't want her to be alone...
"Did you send this court ward wrong..." Zhen'er glanced at the things sent by the Ministry of Rites, "This is the queen's phoenix crown, there are more phoenixes on that head..."
"Empress..." Wan An said, "It's all my money for me. I guess the servant took the wrong one just now..."
The imperial concubine's temper is said to be very good...Wan An took a chance and stared at Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi was not stupid: "Empress... look... this matter..."
"I am upset... Maybe... you can just go and get what I come from. There is no need to take back the clothes. The queen and I have an appointment to visit the garden." Wan Zhen'er said.
Today the Empress is going to come to Xiyuan to accompany the Imperial Concubine. Actually, this is not a secret... The Queen Wang has always been a good person in this palace...
"My memory, Wan'an, asks the empress to punish me..." Wan'an said.
"Okay..." Wan Zhen'er said, "It's just a small mistake. I'm not the petty Concubine Bai... You, I think you are a mature person, so don't send the wrong things in other palaces..."
"Yes, not every empress has a good temper as good as my concubine..." Wang Zhi said.
"Little Naoko..." Wan Zhen'er said, "Get the things..."
Wang Zhi knelt down and handed Wan Zhen'er the treasure bag that Wan An gave him. Zhen'er opened the treasure bag and took out a string of Dongzhu necklaces, which were round and worth at least 100 taels: "It's better to do it well if you have this idea... But this thing is sometimes useful, and people always make mistakes, but this time you seem to have given it wrong..."
"I am confused..." Wan'an said, "That seems to be wrong. It was the gift I bought for my wife Wang..."
"Your wife is also the surname Wang?" A crisp sentence... It was not what Concubine Wan said. This sentence came from a woman in plain clothes beside the Concubine. This woman was not dressed as a palace maid, but she didn't have many pearls on her head, and she seemed to be a wife of a wealthy family...
"This lady... the family's surname is Wang, and she is from Jiangnan..." Wan'an said.
"Is my ancestral home in Quzhou?" asked the lady Suyi.
"I don't know... I just heard that her mother's family is also a wealthy family..."
"Are you a Jinshi of the thirteenth year of orthodox?" asked the lady Suyi.
"Yes..." Wan'an replied...
The lady was excited, and Wan Zhen'er grabbed her hand: "Zhong Ying... don't worry..."
"Is the lady's name Xiuying?" said the lady...
"Yes..." Wan'an was puzzled...
"By the way... it's my brother-in-law..." The lady started crying, "I didn't expect to finally find my sister..."
"Who is the wife's sister..." Wan'an asked, "My wife has only one old mother, no brothers and sisters..."
"I heard from my tamper that my father had a daughter in an outdoor room in Nanjing, called Xiuying... When I got married, my brother-in-law was a Jinshi for thirteen years, so I came to the capital back then. Unexpectedly, although I was young at that time, the capital was in a vast sea of people... People just thought I was talking nonsense..."
"Madam..." Wan An said. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. He just wanted to find a backer, but now he has a relative. It sounds like a real person...
"My father-in-law helped the younger one, but the younger wife was not born to the main wife...the mother-in-law later married someone else because the original wife left early and was promoted to the right." Wan'an said.
"Mr. Wan, can you invite your wife to the West Garden to gather?" said Mrs. Suyi.
"Xiaguan must go back and ask clearly...but Xiyuan is not something that ordinary people can enter..." Wan'an said...
"Then I will give you a sign..." Wan Zhen'er said, "You can just come with your wife..."
