Ning Elegy ran back to the west courtyard crying, her eyes were red like rabbits.
"What's the matter, who bullied you?" Mrs. Shen was taken aback. Seeing Ning Elegy like this, she felt very distressed.
"It's Auntie!" Ning Elegy told Mrs. Shen one by one what happened today, of course it was inevitable to add embellishments.
"Grandmother, my aunt is sincerely against you. She doesn't like sister Zhaoqing, and she doesn't like the elegy either." Ning Elegy was furious, "Auntie asked the second cousin to take that wild girl to Yaowang Valley every day. It has been so many years in the villa, and I have never seen my aunt treat the dirge like this."
Ning Elegy was sobbing, "Grandmother, do aunts look down on Elegy? If grandma didn't protect Elegy, everyone in this villa would trample Elegy."
Mrs. Shen was furious when she heard that, "Your uncle is a fool, and I don't know what enchanting potion Lu Liyuan gave your uncle to make your uncle fascinated!"
Old Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and hated that iron could not be made into steel, "When your eldest uncle comes back, grandma will tell him about it."
"Okay, okay, little ancestor, if you keep crying, the west courtyard will be flooded." Mrs. Shen pulled Ning Elegy distressedly, "Although your uncle is persistent, he is still filial in the end, and you are his only one. Niece, I won't let you go, and while grandma still has her breath, I will definitely arrange your affairs properly."
Ning Elegy wiped the corners of his eyes, "Grandmother, it's Elegy who doesn't worry about it, and it's embarrassing for grandma."
Ning Elegy stayed in front of Mrs. Shen for so long, and she also found out Mrs. Shen's temperament. The guilty look really made Mrs. Shen more determined, and she wanted to ask for an explanation for Ning Elegy.
In this way, a few days passed peacefully. During the day, Xiao Yu followed Shen Yi to Yaowang Valley. In the past few days, she identified a lot of herbs. I'm so angry.
So Yao Banxian came out to give advice, and Xiao Concubine seemed suddenly enlightened, as if she was afraid that Xiao Concubine was wasting herbs, which caused Yao Banxian to busy around Xiao Concubine and wait on her.
Seeing this, Shen Yi's eyes widened, and he gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
"At the beginning, the master only ate at the elder brother's place. Others could memorize the herbal medicine for three months. The elder brother only used it for three days. The master was crying and calling for the elder brother to be his apprentice."
When Shen Feng recalled the demeanor of his elder brother back then, he still had a face full of pride and admiration.
Shen Yi also looked regretful, "Brother is the best in the world, but it's a pity that he fell on love."
Shen Feng's eyes suddenly dimmed. In the past, the three brothers had a very good relationship, but now that one is missing, everyone doesn't talk about it, but they always think about it in their hearts.
Seeing that Xiao Concubine had been busy all morning, Shen Yi walked over and handed over the shochu in his hand respectfully.
"Master, mother hasn't seen Xiaojiu for a few days. Mother wrote to me from Kyoto, asking Qing Xiaojiu to go back and come back tomorrow."
Yao Banxian looked at Xiao Concubine with a teachable look, "Others memorize dozens of kinds in three days, but you are fine, you can mix five or six kinds in three days, no wonder the old fox can't send you to me." .”
The corner of Xiao Concubine's mouth twitched, and she said, "Xiao Jiu is stupid, my father really can't do anything about me."
It was the first time Yao Banxian had the opportunity to challenge the Right Prime Minister in so many years. He felt an inexplicable sense of pride, "When I see the old fox later, I have to teach him well. Don't put on airs every day, it's just mediocre."
The corners of Xiao Concubine's mouth twitched violently. If Prime Minister knew that he had helped outsiders to corrupt the reputation of Prime Minister, he would probably be punished again.
It's not that Xiao Concubine doesn't want to change, but that she's used to the reputation of right prime minister, and she has tried everything.
"Okay, okay, you guys go back quickly, don't make your mother wait for a long time, and you will go into the mountain herbs before dawn, so don't be late!"
"Yes!" Xiao Yu nodded.
Yao Banxian opened the wine cork and took a deep breath, couldn't wait to take a few sips, and kept smacking his mouth, "Not bad, Yi'er is more and more suitable to my taste."
Shen Yi smiled slightly, and after bowing his hands, he took the two of them away.
Lu Liyuan handed the letter from Kyoto to Concubine Xiao, "Xiao Jiu, this is a letter from your father."
Xiao Concubine took it and opened it, her face darkened uncontrollably, the son of Prince Chen and the First Prince met each other, and both wanted to marry Xiao Concubine, but the meaning of the right minister was to let Xiao Concubine hide for a few more days until the right minister finished dealing with the matter at hand Go back to the prime minister's mansion.
Right now the Emperor and Empress Dowager Lu are looking for her, Concubine Xiao frowned, it's really not a good thing for her to be missed.
She doesn't want to marry either of those two, so it's not a problem to hide like this now.
Seeing the next page, Xiao Yu was stunned. Zhao Zun was conferred the title of Marquis of Yingyang in just a few days.
"Xiao Jiu?" Shen Yi called softly, "But what did Xiangye say?"
Concubine Xiao was a little bit proud, and for some reason felt a little lost. Zhao Zun hadn't sent anyone to look for her after so many days, and now that she was full of status, power, and money, she should have left her behind long ago. Let your father help you by yourself.
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, "It's okay, there's nothing at home, maybe I'm going to disturb Aunt Shen here for a while longer."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"What kind words does this child say? Aunt Shen wished that you could stay here forever. Aunt Shen has no daughter under her knees. Now that you are here, it can be regarded as fulfilling Aunt Shen's wish."
Lu Liyuan smiled, "I'll ask the servant girl to make some more clothes for you later. Aunt Shen still has a few pieces of cloth in her storeroom. The delicate color is the most suitable for you."
Concubine Xiao accepted it generously, "Thank you, Aunt Shen."
Although Xiao Concubine had a smile on her face, she still couldn't lift her spirits. She went back to her room early and lay on the bed thinking about it, her eyes were red with inexplicable grievances.
kyoto
The Prime Minister on the right hadn't been so angry for a long time. He managed to find a way to get rid of Mr. Wen's position and arranged for his own person to take the position, but Zhao Zuncong stepped in and took his favorite position directly by airborne.
It turned out that Lord Wen was implicated in the affairs of County Lord Jinshu. Both the emperor and the Empress Dowager Lu were vying for the position, but gave the right minister a chance. The right minister had arranged for a long time, and it was about to be fulfilled.
"This kid, you know the goods!" The right-hand man returned his anger, but praised Zhao Zun for his good eyesight.
Although the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment does not have much money, it looks like a hard job, but in fact he is the source of a lot of news.
Therefore, the emperor and Empress Dowager Lu tried their best to compete for this position.
When You Xiang heard the news, he was about to explode. It must be the emperor's idea, and he deliberately muddled the water!
"Hmph! Sooner or later you will cry!"
Prime Minister on the right is a stingy person, so he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Concubine Xiao without saying a word.
When Zhao Zun got the news, his face turned green, "Elder Prince, didn't the servant of the Minister arrange for Mr. Li, how did he become Zhao?"
Lian Jiming smiled, "The national treasury is empty. It is the hall that has honored the father with a million taels of silver. This hall has thought about this position. Brother Zhao is more suitable than Master Li. Besides, it is really inconvenient for Brother Zhao to be a businessman all the time."
Zhao Zun pursed his lips tightly.
"Brother Zhao, if you serve the palace wholeheartedly, it will not be a problem to be crowned king and general in the future, and you don't have to be moved."
Lian Jiming was in a very good mood, he was just suggesting to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to give Zhao Zun the position of servant of the Ministry of punishment so generously, which showed that the emperor began to value him.
Zhao Zun's eyes were so cold that he was accidentally targeted. He had a tense relationship with the Prime Minister at first, but now he might have completely offended the Prime Minister.
When it comes to the Right Prime Minister, Zhao Zun's brain becomes tense, this man is not a generous man.
After sending Concubine Xiao away without making a sound for so many days, Zhao Zun tried every means to find her, and he almost went crazy looking, but he couldn't find anything.
If... .
Zhao Zun didn't dare to imagine, his face was so dark that he couldn't move up and down, and looked at Lian Jiming's obtrusive smile, feeling annoyed for a while.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao still has something to deal with, so let's take a step forward."
Lian Jiming waved his hand in the right mood, "Go."
"Master... where are you going?" Zhao Qi caught up with Zhao Zun's extremely fast pace.
Zhao Zun glanced back at Zhao Qi, gritted his teeth and spit out four words, "Apologize!"
Zhao Qi was confused, "Master!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zun stepped onto a horse when he left the door, his eyes were sharper than a knife, Zhao Qi's words of congratulations came to his lips, he dared not say it, and swallowed it back.
