Chapter 261 Small Court
Bei Jingchu found a new person to manage her money, but the work was not finished.
The power of the Great Viet Prince was terrifyingly great.
The Eastern Palace has a small court of officials that belongs exclusively to the crown prince.
For example, positions such as Zuo Shuzi, Taizi Zhanshi, You Shuzi, etc. were almost the same as Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling and Menxia Shizhong of the Eastern Palace.
Bei Jingchu couldn't help but sigh in the midst of his busy schedule, thinking that it was no wonder that emperors were jealous of the crown prince.
This is too much power.
The East Palace has been vacant for a long time, and the official deployment is almost starting from scratch.
She transferred Bei Qin to fill the position of the Crown Prince's Secretary, and the young marquis, who had been promoted eight ranks, felt that he had benefited from it.
The three temples were given to Bei Hua.
The Shi Rate Mansion was assigned to Lei Nian'er.
There is a bright future for everyone!
Bei Jingchu also teased Lei Nian'er: "You are now equivalent to the general of the Jinwu Guard of the Eastern Palace. How can you not be considered as a daughter following in your father's footsteps?"
Lei Nian'er had known her duties for a long time, and only when she got the official order did she feel the reality.
Bei Jingchu said: "Since I have appointed you, I believe you can serve the people."
"The guards are all from wealthy families. Their family backgrounds are naturally not as good as yours, the daughter of a great general, but they are all proud and arrogant."
"You figure out how to deal with them. If you can't do it, I won't force you."
Bei Jingchu said this softly, but what she actually meant was: If you don't have the ability to sit in the seat I give you, then find someone else.
Obviously, Lei Nian'er is not stupid either.
She grasped the imperial edict as if grasping her own future, and promised: "Your Highness has given me the fastest and most direct way."
“There’s no way I can’t do this.”
Not convinced? Just beat them into submission.
Her father's only use was in fighting wars and commanding the army. After years of observation and observation, he must have learned a fair bit.
Lei Ning was naturally delighted about Lei Nian'er's promotion, and he warned her, "You must be loyal to your master, no matter what happens, even if you are suspected or framed, and feel wronged, you must remain loyal."
Lei Nian'er didn't want to listen to his meaningless teachings, and replied: "Your Highness knows best whether my daughter is loyal or not."
"Your Highness is not a fool. He can tell who is loyal and who is not."
Lei Ning: ...Nian'er seems to have an inexplicable confidence in the prince.
Seeing this, he didn't say much and asked her to go back and rest and prepare for the upcoming promotion celebration banquet.
The entire Lei family was in a joyous mood, including Lei Nian'er's sisters.
Those who are good at dealing with things formed a group to give gifts and congratulate Lei Nian'er.
The third sister was bullied by Lei Nan'er and became timid and cowardly, but now she is much more cheerful and can even chat with her: "In the past, when I gave my eldest sister gifts, I only gave her jewelry and hairpins."
“The only difference is the craftsmanship and materials.”
"Later, my elder sister joined the army, and now she is the commander of the Eastern Palace. I don't know what to give her, and my younger sister has no knowledge of weapons."
"I'm just worried that even if I spend a lot of effort to buy it, my elder sister won't be able to use it."
The fourth lady smiled and said, "Third sister, you came to ask me. I have researched it. It's a pity that our father didn't allow us to practice martial arts before, so only the eldest sister benefited from the prince's help."
She seemed to be nonchalant but with a hint of regret in her tone: "If I hadn't been delayed, I might have been quite skilled."
Lei Nian'er didn't know how to comfort her. As one of the lucky ones, whatever she said at this moment would have a sense of superiority.
She could only clap her hands and change the subject: "I also like jewellery and powder as gifts."
The third lady asked hesitantly, "But didn't your eldest sister become a military commander?"
"Sister is just a military commander, not a man."
"Who says that if you love military uniforms, you can't love makeup?"
"Who said that a military commander must act like a man?"
"Even though I'm a military commander, I'm still a girl." She raised her eyebrows slightly, even with pride.
The third lady smiled happily, not knowing what she was thinking of.
But people's joys and sorrows are not the same, and Lei Naner went crazy in his yard again.
"How is it possible? How is it possible!"
"Where did I lose?"
"Won't she have to spend many years in the military?"
"Why did the prince make her the leader of the Ten Commanders of the Eastern Palace as soon as he arrived?"
On the table was her baby's wedding invitation, and the other party was a noble prince.
This has always been her hope.
Suddenly, Lei Naner tore up the wedding invitation.
After tearing it, she lay on the table crying.
"Mother - I miss you so much, Mother -"
"Mother..."
She died in the winter of her fourth year.
She was fed poisoned wine by her father himself.
Lei Naner now understood why her father did it. Her mother was a treasonous sinner.
But that was her mother, the person who loved her the most.
She worked hard to build up her reputation, hoping to marry into a wealthy family so that she could one day use the power of her husband's family to take revenge.
But her enemies rose to power overnight.
It's all a bubble.
......
It was a busy day as usual. Haoyue helped Bei Jingchu screen the memorials to be sent to the East Palace, and Bei Jingchu helped Aye screen the memorials to be sent to the case.
The two children were treated like oxen and horses, doing work that was not theirs.
