After Ye Jun finished saying this, Ning Chen had an idea.
No matter from which perspective, as long as the imperial merchant chooses the right person, it will be a good thing for him.
In a peaceful and prosperous era, if one cannot achieve military merit, then isn't the most important thing to do to make the country more prosperous
Although Ning Chen didn't want to be the emperor at first, since he had done it, he still wanted to do it well.
"I have never really seen what it means for a woman to be as good as a man before. Today, I think this sentence is the most appropriate to describe you."
"Your Majesty, please don't praise me like that. I just watched my mother doing business and had some thoughts. These statements are definitely incomplete. Your Majesty still needs to make detailed arrangements on how to do it."
Ye Jun blinked, paused, and then continued, as if acting like a spoiled child, "Besides, I have my own selfish motives. My maternal grandfather's family has been engaged in business for more than a hundred years, and they are involved in all kinds of business. If I am lucky enough to become a royal merchant, it would be great."
Anyway, she has a purpose and doesn't mind saying it. We agreed to be truthful, right
Even if the emperor does not agree, she has done a good deed by proposing the imperial merchant.
All in all, it’s not a loss.
In the end, Ning Chen did not agree to it immediately. He had to discuss this decision with the ministers.
The next morning, when Ye Jun woke up, there was no one around him.
Nan Zhi came in to serve, "My beauty, the emperor saw that you were short of people to serve you, so he appointed a nanny named Qin, who was originally the nanny who served the emperor."
Each prince and princess was accompanied by four wet nurses and two nannies.
Nanny Qin was a smart person. She never got too close to Ning Chen and only did her job. Therefore, when the empress dowager cleaned out the wet nurse and other servants around Ning Chen, she did not send her away.
But this Nanny Qin unfortunately fell and has had a limp ever since, so she cannot always serve. But Ning Chen was nostalgic and has been supporting her. She is now in charge of training the young palace maids.
"Really? Then I have to thank the emperor. It's always too busy for you to follow me alone."
Ye Jun would never doubt that this person was sent to keep an eye on her.
If that's the case, you shouldn't send it to me openly. Otherwise, she'll know everything. Why isn't she avoiding me
After washing up, Ye Jun met the nanny in the hall.
He seemed to be in his early forties, with a fair, round face. Although he looked amiable, he had a kind demeanor that gave him an air of authority without even getting angry.
She was dressed simply, in a brown palace dress with curled edges, her hair was neatly tied up with three or four silver hairpins in her hair, and she wore flat cloth shoes.
She is indeed dressed to serve others.
"I am Qin, the servant girl, paying my respects to Lady Ming." Nanny Qin bowed with a smile.
As expected, she had been in the palace for a long time. Her movements were standard. If she didn't walk, you wouldn't be able to tell that her leg was lame.
Ye Jun raised her hand, "Madam, please stand up. I am short of people to serve me. I am sorry to bother you. However, I am not a fussy person and I don't follow the rules. You don't need to worry too much. I just need to take care of my daily life and diet."
Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and bowed again, "I understand, and I will do my job well."
The meaning of Lady Ming was very clear. She was called here to serve, not to invite a Buddha to be worshipped. When serving others, one should not think of interfering too much and just do what is required of her.
Now it seems that I am not on guard against her, but I also don't allow her to control herself.
When the Queen first got married, Nanny Qin took care of all the big and small matters in Ning Chen's mansion, so Ning Chen sent Nanny Qin to the Queen in the first few months to help her.
But the Queen was afraid that her daughter would bully her master, and at the same time she was worried that disrespecting her would cause the Emperor to have some bad thoughts. She couldn't find the right balance between suppressing her and not suppressing her, and she worried for a long time.
When she returned to the front yard, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Lady Ming in front of him, she is so young but she knows when to advance and when to retreat, and she is very tactful and insightful. No wonder the emperor likes her so much.
Ye Jun was also very satisfied with Nanny Qin's advice.
If the emperor really sent her a Bodhisattva who liked to give orders about the country, she would say she didn't want anything.
Now that everyone understands each other's thoughts, everyone is happy.
However, while everyone was happy on this side, there was disharmony on the other side.
Lady Yi was summoned to the front to serve writing and painting, and on the way she 'accidentally' met Lady Fang.
"Your concubine pays respects to the beauty." Yao Xiang bowed.
"Forget it." Lady Yi glanced at her and thought that she hadn't done anything yet, but she came to her first.
Yao Xiang didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing the food box in her hand, he smiled and said, "Concubine Yi is really thoughtful. Are you going to send snacks to the emperor now? I heard that Concubine Ming often sent snacks before. I think the emperor really likes it."
After hearing what she said, Yi Meiren felt that the box in her hand was very hot.
How could she learn to do things like Ye Jun? It would only make her look inferior.
But when she looked at Yao Xiang's face at this moment, Lady Yi thought of what happened yesterday. In comparison, she still felt that Yao Xiang was more hateful.
He snorted coldly, "No wonder the emperor only summoned me to serve him. It turns out that Fang Cairen is not favored by the emperor and knows nothing. Don't stir up trouble here. If you want to be favored, you should work hard on your own and stop thinking of bad things about me!"
Yao Xiang was stunned for a moment. This was completely different from what she expected.
But at this moment, Zi Yimei was too lazy to say anything more to her. She just turned around and left, leaving her standing there awkwardly.
"Talented lady, Concubine Yi has always been at odds with Concubine Ming, why is she speaking like this today..." Qiwen was puzzled.
Yao Xiang looked at the receding figure, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
She and Wu had no contact on a daily basis, nor had they ever become enemies, nor had she affected Wu's favor for her. Logically, it was Ye Jun who Wu hated more.
But today, Wu's words and actions were directed at her, which was not normal.
Could it be that something unexpected happened that caused this deviation
"Go back first. She behaved abnormally today. Go down and check what happened." Yao Xiang said calmly.
Having lived two lifetimes, what she has the most is a strong character. Such a small matter would not make her too angry.
"This Concubine Fang has really bad intentions. She is trying to sow discord between you and Concubine Ming. Isn't she just trying to watch you fight with her and reap the benefits? Bah, you wishful thinking!" Yun Xiu said angrily.
Yi Meiren sneered, "She thinks everyone else is a fool. I thought she was honest, but I never thought she had so many dirty thoughts. She wants to use me as a gun. Let's see who can step on who and get ahead!"
Anyway, the feud has been completely settled.
There is still a long way to go, and there will always be a time to return.
After staying in Yuzhou for another day, everyone had a good rest, replenished their food and supplies, and finally set out again.
We will not stop on this road until we reach Zasak.
There are also advantages to going further north. It doesn't rain much here, but it's very dry.
In the south, the spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors, cutting out tender green new leaves, but the spring breeze here is really lethal.
Anyway, Ye Jun couldn't adapt to it and the wind made his face hurt.
After walking for eight days, we finally arrived in Zasak.
The four Zasak princes all came with their people to greet them in person, each of them riding a fine horse, tall and straight.
