"Father, do you want to take in that sister Zhang Yao?" Jiang Yuanhan helped Wen Qingzhu sit down.
After coming back to his senses, Wen Qingzhu had a headache: "Well, I really didn't expect that the emperor would actually want to take her into the palace."
"Sister, it turned out that my father would not take her into the palace?" Jiang Yuanhan asked again.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, then patted Jiang Yuanhan on the shoulder: "Don't be like this in the future. You can like whoever you like. Although the substitute can get some comfort, he will never be the same person again."
"I know." Jiang Yuanhan looked at Wen Qingzhu with gentle eyes.
Late at night, Concubine Wei finally came back.
"Empress, Miss Zhang..." Wen Qingzhu immediately came forward to greet her.
Concubine Wei patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, Hei Jiren asked to see you. His Majesty asked Concubine Luo to take Zhang Yao to the Manlu Palace. At least everything will be fine today."
"That's good." Wen Qingzhu could only relax temporarily. He didn't know if Fu Shiyi knew what happened today.
Early the next morning, Luo Fei sent someone to pick up Wen Qingzhu.
But unfortunately, Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. When he was about to go find someone, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Lu Tao was so frightened that he hurriedly went to find Shaoyao, and asked Luo Fei's people to help him go to the High Court to judge.
After Shaoyao rushed over to take a look, cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "Lu Tao, madam, this pulse is a sign that the fetus is about to occur..."
"What!" Lu Tao panicked, turned around and said, "You take care of the young lady here first, I will go to the palace to find the Marquis."
Lu Tao asked someone to prepare the horse. Halfway through, she suddenly thought that if she entered the palace like this, she might not be able to get to the Golden Palace.
If nothing else, the Lu family's case will begin to surface.
She turned her horse around and went to the Liang family. She took the Hou family's badge and met Jiang Wuyang.
"Eldest Princess, Madam has fainted and is showing signs of miscarriage. The situation is critical now. Please help the Eldest Princess to enter the palace and let the Marquis come back."
Jiang Wuyang immediately helped her up: "What's going on?"
"This is what the Marquis ordered before, saying that Madam must be notified as soon as possible if anything happens." Lu Tao was also very anxious. Wen Qingzhu valued this child very seriously.
Jiang Wuyang thought of some things that had happened recently, turned around and comforted Lu Tao, asking her to wait while he went into the inner room.
Not long after, Jiang Wuyang came out again, put on the eldest princess's palace clothes, and wore a Luan and Phoenix crown on her head.
"Your Highness wants to go to Jinluan Palace in person?" Lu Tao was stunned.
Jiang Wuyang nodded: "Eldest sister, it's time to get to know the Liang family again."
Following Jiang Wuyang into the palace, Lu Tao did not stop him in any way, even reaching the entrance of the main hall of Jinluan Palace.
"You wait here."
Lu Tao nodded, but in his heart he was still worried about Wen Qingzhu who was at home.
In the court hall, the King of Chu reported the achievements of the canal, but King Ning felt that the King of Chu did not share the merits appropriately.
It was obvious that King Ning wanted to divide the canal's political achievements.
Jiang Yuancheng might have given in elsewhere, but in this case he chose not to give in at all.
Then, Prince Ning turned around and asked Jiang Yuanhan: "What do Prince Rui think?"
Very early on, Wei Lin and Ning Xiu were sent to Cannes to hold medium-sized positions in the canal project.
At the beginning of the year, Ning Xiu returned to the Hanlin Academy, but Wei Lin stayed there.
Therefore, Jiang Yuanhan knew very well that Jiang Yuancheng was almost responsible for the canal project, and all the credit for at least the sixth floor belonged to him.
As for Prince Ning, he was busy returning to the army and consolidating his military power. He did not interfere in anything related to the canal. On the contrary, it caused many obstacles for Jiang Yuancheng.
Now when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, the King of Chu will do his part, but King Ning will not act as an agent of the government.
Jiang Yuanhan knew that he couldn't help Prince Ning, but he couldn't tell the truth either.
"I have just learned a little bit about the canal. I don't quite understand what the two royal brothers said, so it's hard to judge."
He chose neutrality. Mr. Cui was also in the court today and was not satisfied.
Jiang Yuanhan could clearly handle this opportunity better.
Seeing that Jiang Yuancheng refused to give in, King Ning came up with the idea of another four layers of credit.
"For such a big project as the canal, my fifth brother barely took half of the credit. This cannot be denied."
Jiang Yuancheng immediately corrected him: "Prince Ning, it's the seventh level of merit!"
"Really?" Prince Ning sneered, "I have read the report from the Ministry of Works. Your people have indeed made great contributions, but without everyone's cooperation, how could you alone be able to accomplish such a big project?" Come down!"
Jiang Yuancheng knew that Jiang Yuanan was shameless and domineering, but he never expected Jiang Yuanan to be so shameless.
Now in the court, Jiang Yuanan can open his mouth like this!
If the emperor delegated greater power to him, wouldn't he have no way to survive
He glanced around and saw that, except for the wily Pei Yu and the loyal Fu Lie, the other ministers and veterans were more or less aligned.
Most of the people were on King Ning's team.
Jiang Yuancheng could not let Prince Ning continue like this. Jiang Yuanan was not the only one acting in government affairs.
He raised his hands to Jiang Yuanhan and said: "Prince Rui, you should have seen the report from the Ministry of Industry. Although I am in charge of the canal project, I still need the help of the Liang family, the Zheng family and the Ministry of Industry. They It’s also hard work that pays off.”
"I know this." Jiang Yuanhan also knew that Jiang Yuancheng alone could not win the canal project.
"Prince Rui, didn't you just say that you are not familiar with the canal project?" Prince Ning's tone began to sound threatening.
Jiang Yuanhan felt that Jiang Yuanan was really stupid, and he just tried to take the credit from Jiang Yuancheng.
After all, Jiang Yuancheng paid a lot, so it doesn’t matter if he pays less.
But among them, the Liang family and the Zheng family were the ones the emperor ordered to take responsibility for.
Especially the Liang family, which was specially sent by the emperor in the middle period.
Anyone with some brains knows that the emperor is a ladder for the Liang family to reuse.
Jiang Yuanhan frowned and said: "Prince Ning, let's not talk about the Zheng family for now, but the Liang family has made a lot of contributions. Let's just say that it was a cold spring a few days ago. If someone from the Liang family hadn't warned them in advance, we don't know how much manpower and material resources would have been lost. The Liang family’s contribution is beyond doubt. As for the Zheng family, it’s even more—”
"Prince Rui!" Jiang Yuanan's face darkened and he stared at Jiang Yuanhan closely, "You mean that I haven't read the report from the Ministry of Industry?"
Jiang Yuanhan still insisted: "Of course not, the Liang family deserves credit—"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanhan was interrupted again by Jiang Yuanan: "The Liang family certainly has merit, but it is nothing compared to what I have done!"
"Oh? His Highness Prince Ning thinks that the Liang family's contribution is not as good as what you said afterwards?"
Jiang Wuyang's voice came from the door of Jinluan Palace. Everyone looked back and saw the eldest princess's palace dress in bright red embroidered with flying phoenixes and phoenixes appearing in front of them.
Seeing the person coming, Jiang Yuancheng felt relieved and immediately stood up to greet Jiang Wuyang: "See your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
The rest of the courtiers followed suit and saluted: "See Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
Jiang Yuanhan naturally came down to greet him.
Only Jiang Yuanan sat on the golden chair given by the emperor and did not move. How could it be such a coincidence!
He looked at Jiang Yuancheng, who was the first to come out, and immediately began to wonder. Could it be that Jiang Yuancheng had attracted Jiang Wuyang
impossible! The reason why the Liang family fell silent for a time was because of the help of Concubine Wan.
But today is different from the past. Jiang Wuyang is the eldest princess personally named by Jiang Yue. When something important happens, she is the one who can come into the Jinluan Palace and correct the emperor's mistakes.
This is an honor, an honor that is unique except for the Queen Mother.
It's just that Jiang Yue didn't value the Liang family in the past, and it was useless for Jiang Wuyang to hold the title of eldest princess.
But today, the emperor began to help the Liang family recover early.
Jiang Wuyang now has the real qualifications to come to the Golden Palace.
Finally, Jiang Yuanan stood up: "I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Jiang Wuyang looked at the reluctance on his face and said with a smile: "Why should Prince Ning be so polite? You are acting on His Majesty's behalf, so you don't have to greet him with courtesy."
Prince Ning suddenly felt angry in his heart, and when he was about to speak, Jiang Wuyang interrupted him: "I heard from Prince Ning just now that the Liang family's contribution is not as good as Prince Ning's, so why not let the Minister of Industry report it on the spot? "
"Auntie, it was An'er's slip of the tongue. You heard wrong." Of course Jiang Yuanan would not let the Minister of Industry report on the spot.
Jiang Wuyang did not give him this face. He turned around and took out the golden order given by the emperor: "Master Shangshu, I am here today to rectify the name of the Liang family."
Seeing this token, the Minister of Industry could only go out and briefly talk about the canal project.
But Jiang Wuyang laughed: "It seems that Lord Shangshu doesn't understand it very well? Why don't you ask Lord Shangshu to find someone from the Ministry of Industry stationed at the canal to come over and explain it to me in detail!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Minister of Industry was still a little uncertain, but now he had to choose his side.
He didn't side with King Ning, let alone King Chu, so he chose to side with King Rui.
Soon, the official from the Ministry of Works in charge of the canal came over.
This was the first time for this man to go to the Jinluan Palace. Although he didn't see the emperor, he saw so many important figures that he didn't usually see. He was so scared that his legs went weak.
Jiang Yuanhan came over very considerately: "Eldest Princess, why don't you take a seat."
When everyone took a look, they saw Jiang Yuanhan pointing at his position.
At this time, Jiang Wuyang was a little surprised, but thinking that Lu Tao was still waiting outside, he turned around and walked over.
Just as he was about to sit down, Prince Ning suddenly spoke: "Elder Princess, this seat is occupied by me and Prince Rui, who are acting in charge of the government. I'm afraid you can't sit down without your father's permission, right?"
"Then why don't you go with Prince Ning to meet His Majesty?" Jiang Wuyang refused to give in.
Prince Ning's face was livid. He was at fault in the first place. Even if Jiang Wuyang exceeded the rules a little, the emperor would not say anything.
But he just couldn't swallow this breath, especially if he gave in here, then those who followed him would be suspicious.
Prince Ning thought about it for a long time, and finally raised his hand: "Eldest Princess, please."
Jiang Wuyang turned to look at the ministers: "If nothing happens, I will withdraw from the court today!"
All the civil and military officials looked at each other in confusion, but soon Mr. Cui chose to respond, even if the others refused.
Everyone responded with congratulations. This scene fell in Jiang Yuanhan's eyes, and he was very admired in his heart.
Can the eldest princess actually have such a high status
Jiang Wuyang took the lead and left, and Prince Ning looked extremely ugly.
Because he knows that he has lost!
As soon as King Ning left, a young eunuch walked up behind Fu Lie and whispered something.
Fu Lie's expression changed, he turned around and left the Jinluan Palace.
Jiang Yuancheng was wondering why Jiang Wuyang was so arrogant, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Fu Lie's back hurriedly leaving.
Looking at the door from a distance, Lu Tao walked forward anxiously and said a few words. Fu Lie set off directly and disappeared.
Jiang Yuancheng's eyes narrowed instantly. There was only one person who could make Fu Lie so nervous.
In the main courtyard of Pingguo Hou Mansion, Fu Lie had just arrived when he met the High Court Judge who came out.
He doesn't look good.
"The High Court ruled, Madam, she—"
The high court judge frowned and said, "Master Marquis, please forgive me for being helpless. The child in Madam's belly may not be saved, and there seems to be a toxin in her body that I can't identify."
Fu Lie rushed to the house directly.
Stopping in front of the bed, he looked at Wen Qingzhu who was sweating profusely with a very painful expression on his face. Shaoyao knelt in front of the bed and kept feeding Wen Qingzhu the soup.
