While Prince Jin was busy investigating the case, Prince Qing took action against Academician Zhan.
Academician Zhan was the imperial tutor responsible for teaching the young emperor. He was always fair and never got involved in the power struggle among the three princes.
But Prince Qing's men discovered that the women of the Zhan family loved to buy rouge and powder at a store called Yurongfang, and the owner of this store was Princess Jin's Consort Jiang Changning.
Prince Qing felt that he had seen through the secret collusion between Grand Secretary Zhan and Prince Jin, and thought, "What a good plank road to build a plank road in the open, but to sneak through Chencang in secret."
"With someone named Zhan whispering in your Majesty's ear, the little emperor will become more and more dependent on Helian Yu, which is not good for us." Prince Yu said with a dark face.
"Move him to another position." Prince Qing said calmly.
Academician Zhan is an honest official, so if you want to impeach him, you have to find another way.
Prince Qing's staff looked through the collected works of Academician Zhan, looking for problems word by word.
It is impossible to find fault with everything, but it is quite easy to find one or two inappropriate sentences in poetry and parallel prose.
The young emperor was too young to understand these words, not to mention that Prince Qing forced his own interpretation and insisted on giving them a "deep" meaning.
Other things are easy to deal with, but there is a sentence in the parallel prose of Academician Zhan, which, according to Prince Qing's interpretation, has the meaning of contempt for the royal family.
"This is the first time I realize that Uncle Prince Qing is so talented." Prince Jin said sarcastically.
"That's because you are not well-informed." Prince Qing said shamelessly.
The three regents fought for power, and Academician Zhan was unlucky and was demoted to Dengzhou.
After the court session, Prince Qing found Prince Jin and asked proudly, "Does my nephew like this great gift?"
"I hope that Uncle Wang will still be able to smile when he receives my return gift." Prince Jin was not as angry as Prince Qing thought, and he still had a smile on his face.
"Okay, then let's ride on the donkey and watch the opera." Prince Qing turned away.
September passed in this bloody atmosphere, and in early October, the cold was even worse.
In the middle of the night, it started snowing. Although it didn't snow for long, the thin layer on the ground melted quickly. But this also reminds everyone that it is winter now and if you are not careful, you will get sick.
The person who was made sick by the cold was Zeng Mi. Seeing her daughter in pain, Yan Yinyao fell into deep self-blame, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Mi'er. I shouldn't have gone out for tea with my aunt."
The concubine still did not give up the idea of finding a good family for her niece and letting her remarry.
However, he no longer went to Xiangguo Temple with a large group of people. Every now and then, he would take Yan Yinyao to a teahouse in the city to drink tea, but actually to see Yan Yinyao.
Jiang Changning went with him twice and never went again. Firstly, she had to take care of household affairs, and secondly, her appearance seemed to overshadow the others.
"The weather is getting colder, and children can't adapt to it. They are prone to getting sick. Even if you keep an eye on them, they will still get sick. Doctor Xue has said that Mi'er is fine, so don't worry too much."
"After all, I was out all day and ignored her."
"When did you go out all day? This month, you only went out three times. Okay, don't think too much about it. The medicine is here. You can coax Mi'er to drink it. She will get better soon."
"Cousin, please sit down. I will coax Mi'er to take the medicine first." Yan Yinyao went into the inner room to coax her daughter.
Jiang Changning sat on the kang and picked up a half-embroidered handkerchief from the embroidery basket. It was embroidered with cassia flowers.
The Albizia Julibrissin is also known as the velvet flower. Its flowers are ball-like and it is a lucky flower.
Its implication is harmonious relationship between husband and wife and peaceful coexistence among friends.
Yan Yinyao embroidered the cassia flowers. Did this mean she was satisfied with the man she was seeing
Zeng Mi is ill now, so Yan Yinyao probably doesn't have the energy to talk about this. She will wait until Mi recovers and then ask him about it.
Jiang Changning put the embroidered handkerchief back into the embroidery basket and picked up the poetry collection on the side to look through it.
Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled.
Zeng Mi’s illness would not be cured within seven or eight days.
The next day, Jiang Changning received two invitations, one from Wen Bingqing, the wife of the Prince of Zheng, and the other from the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jiping's mansion, inviting Princess Kang Ren.
When Jiang Changning saw the invitation, he was surprised to realize that Princess Kang Ren had reached the age where she should go out for social events.
Fortunately, I had made several new sets of winter clothes for her, and also made two sets of new jewelry, so she would not be impolite at all when she went out to visit others.
"Why don't you want to go? Is it difficult to get along with this girl? Or have you ever had a dispute?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Lu Shuyue is not difficult to get along with, and we have never had any arguments." Princess Kang Ren lowered her head and twisted the silk handkerchief in her hands.
"Does Kang Ren want me to go with him to visit Duke Zheng's mansion?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
Princess Kang Ren looked up at her, with obvious surprise in her eyes, "Is it okay?"
Jiang Changning understood that Princess Kang Ren did not dare to go to the banquet alone.
"Kang Ren, you are a grown-up girl now. You will often receive invitations like this in the future. You don't have to be afraid."
"You are the princess of the Prince of Jin's mansion, you are of noble status, others can only respect you and will never dare to embarrass you."
"If you have a dispute with someone, as long as you are right, your uncle Wang and I will support you and will not let you suffer any injustice."
"If someone is blind and bumps into you or offends you with words, feel free to do it."
After Jiang Changning taught her a lesson, Princess Kangren mustered up the courage to say, "Aunt, I, I'd better go to the Jiping County Duke's Mansion as a guest."
"real?"
"Aunt, I'm grown up."
"Okay, I'll let Xiulan accompany you."
"Thank you, aunt." Princess Kang Ren felt more at ease.
"Silly child." Jiang Changning touched her head and smiled slightly.
The warm winter banquet at the Duke Zheng's Mansion was held one day earlier than that at the Duke Jiping's Mansion. Jiang Changning dressed warmly to attend the banquet.
Although the sun was out, the north wind was howling and it was bitingly cold.
If it weren't for his good relationship with Wen Bingqing, Jiang Changning really wouldn't be willing to go to the banquet in the wind and snow.
She rode in a carriage all the way to the hanging flower gate of Duke Zheng's Mansion. When she got off the carriage, she saw Wen Bingqing and the Crown Prince's Consort of Changshan waiting for her.
Jiang Changning got off the carriage, her cheeks were red and tender, and the Changshan Prince's wife couldn't help but tease her, "Look at Ningning, she looks like a mother, but she is as beautiful as a young girl."
"Go, go, go, what are you talking about." Jiang Changning walked over with a small hand warmer, "Has the fortune-teller not come yet?"
The former Crown Princess of Prince De, who was promoted to Princess De, is in mourning at home and cannot attend the banquet.
"Xinwu Marquis's Mansion is far away, but we should be there soon." Wen Bingqing said with a smile.
Wen Bingqing invited the three of them, and Jiang Changning stood by the hanging flower gate, waiting for Zeng Zhaofu with the two of them.
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage from Xinwuhou Mansion came in.
Zeng Zhaofu jumped out before the carriage came to a complete stop, startling Jiang Changning and the other two.
"What are you doing?"
"What's the hurry?"
"Burning your ass?"
Zeng Zhaofu waved his hand, "Oh, I'm in a hurry to tell you something."
"Let's talk inside first. We three have been freezing cold waiting for you." Wen Bingqing led the three of them into the warm room.
