Chapter 80 Reward Chi Ming
Concubine Yun calmed down a little after seeing her son.
He changed his previous rage and softly asked the palace maid to clean up the floor.
She straightened her clothes and sat in the main seat. She was still the noble concubine in charge of the harem.
"Have you received the imperial edict?"
"Mother, what's going on?"
"If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't be so angry."
"Mother doesn't know either?"
"Is your father old and confused? Why did he give you the women from the Feng and Gao families?"
It's of no help to my son at all.
Chi Zhuoxu was shocked. He looked outside the door and felt relieved when he saw that they were all his mother's confidants.
"Mother, be careful with your words."
But he was also shocked in his heart. His father had arranged a marriage for him without even informing his mother, who was in charge of the harem and had the same position as the vice-empress.
"Could it be that the emperor, father, is disgusted with his son?"
Concubine Yun was furious again: "No, it definitely won't happen. Chi Zhuorui's mother was of low status and died early. How can a warrior compare with you?"
"The position of crown prince must be yours."
The emperor has two princes, and she must suppress Chi Zhuorui.
"Have you made your father angry recently?"
Chi Zhuoxu thought hard, but could only think of the ridiculous things that happened between him and Bai Qingyou in Prince Yu's Mansion.
"No, Father never gave me any of the previous dynasty's errands. I don't even have the chance to make mistakes."
It's really depressing to say, he is almost eighteen years old, and his father should let him learn about state affairs.
Why didn't he enter the court yet?
Chi Zhuorui at least still has military power, but I have nothing.
Concubine Yun thought of the same thing as him and her face became extremely gloomy.
Xu'er is not allowed to enter the court, as the emperor does not have the final say in the court alone.
It's time for father to put pressure on His Majesty.
"Xu'er, you leave the palace and go to your grandfather's house. Your mother will go and pay her respects to the Empress Dowager."
She was a powerful figure in the harem, but she knew very little about the previous dynasty.
I hope my father knows something.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother still favors him now.
"yes."
Chi Zhuoxu left the palace anxiously.
......
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the memorials impatiently.
"What was the Third Prince's expression like when he received the order?"
Sidley thought back:
"The Third Prince was so surprised that he forgot to receive the order."
The emperor sneered, extremely sarcastic: "Forgot? I guess you don't want to answer it?"
Sheng De didn't dare to respond to this.
"The Third Prince just went to pay his respects to Concubine Yun and has just left the palace."
"He knows how to pay respects to his mother, but he doesn't know how to pay respects to me, his father? How unfilial."
Shengde lowered his head even more.
"The Yun family wants to control the government, but I won't allow it."
Sheng De is his chief steward and a member of the secret guards, absolutely loyal to him, so he can speak freely in front of him.
The emperor is going to take action against Tutor Yun, Sheng De is frightened.
I wonder how the Queen Mother will react when that happens.
"The world belongs to the Chi family. The Yun family is just dreaming."
"Look, you already know the truth. The Yun family is just playing dumb. Do they think some power can overthrow the Chi family?"
It's wishful thinking that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River!
His plan should be advanced.
Ahhh, it’s such a brain-wracking process!
Seeing so many memorials on the imperial desk, he sighed.
So annoying!
"When will the Regent return?"
Steward Shengde wiped his nonexistent sweat and said, "Your Majesty, the Regent left the capital this morning."
Even if everything goes smoothly, the round trip will take at least a month.
It is hard to say whether the 50,000 troops can be found or not, but the snow disaster in Fuzhou must be resolved.
"It will take until at least the end of the year for the Regent to return to the capital."
"Well, there's still a month left."
He really doesn't like these.
If Chi Ming had not been too young when his father passed away, this position should have been his.
"I will issue an order. I will go to Fengming Palace for winter hunting tomorrow. Ministers above the third rank and their families will accompany me. The Third Prince will be in charge of all matters concerning the winter hunting."
"Your Majesty, it's freezing in this snowy weather. What if you get frozen and hurt your body? Please think twice!"
"I have my own plans, go and prepare."
The emperor is determined to do what he wants, so Shengde can only arrange as many people as possible to protect the safety of the emperor.
"yes."
......
Bai Qinghuan also received the news, and Zhenzhu repeated the contents of the imperial edict.
She exclaimed in her heart: Chi Ming, well done!
Zhenzhu said gloatingly, "Ten days from now, the Third Prince's wife and concubine will be married together."
"Master Feng, isn't he going to retire soon?"
The title of Grand Tutor is usually just an additional title and has no real power.
The granddaughter of a minister who had no real power and was about to retire was appointed as the third prince's principal wife.
There was also the Jingzhao Yin, a third-rank official position. His daughter became the concubine of the third prince, which was considered a high-ranking marriage.
Zhenzhu also knew something about Jingzhao Yin: "Jingzhao Yin's Lord Gao is Yun Taifu's man."
Bai Qinghuan was really surprised now. Chi Zhuoxu was the grandson of Master Yun, and Lord Gao was Master Yun's man. There was no need to win him over.
The positions of the prince's wife and concubines are precious and are used to win over court officials.
His Majesty's attitude towards the Third Prince does not show that he wants to help him.
Could it be that the third prince has been excluded from the candidates for crown prince?
That’s...great!
Biyun opened her mouth wide: "Now we have both the principal and the concubine, what should the second young lady do?"
If you ignore the way she's enjoying watching the fun, you'd think she's worried about Bai Qingyou.
Zi Yan said: "According to the rules, the prince should have one principal wife and two concubines, so there is also a position for a concubine."
Bai Qinghuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Bai Qingyou has no chance."
Originally, there was still a possibility that she could get pregnant, but now she can't even keep the baby. How could Chi Zhuoxu ask for her to be a concubine at this time?
She can't become a concubine, but that doesn't stop others from eyeing this position.
For example, Chen Qingrui.
If Bai Qingyou was forced into a desperate situation, how would he turn things around?
She is looking forward to it.
Chi Ming did a good job in this matter, so she decided to reward him.
There was a crabapple flower woven with silk, and a letter written to him with only a few words on it: This flower will accompany you as if I were by your side.
"Can you send someone to deliver it?"
"Yes, there is a special carrier pigeon for the palace. It will be delivered in two hours."
The prince is now at most 200 miles away from the capital, so two hours will be absolutely no problem.
Pearl wanted to know what was written inside, but she was far away and couldn't see it.
As long as it is written by a girl, the prince will definitely be very happy.
Since Chi Ming was not in the capital, Bai Qinghuan did not have to bother trying to please him and began to focus on his own business.
News about Feicui and Li Erbao also kept coming from Jiangzhou City. Their branches were doing very well and making a lot of money.
Once people are busy, they can't stop.
Liu Shun paced anxiously at the gate of the yard. When he saw Biyun coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Hello, Sister Biyun."
"Liushun, is there something wrong?"
Liu Shun shook his head embarrassedly: "Didn't the young lady tell me to go on a long journey a few days ago for something? I came to ask."
"You look anxious. The girl thinks you are tired from the journey and wants you to rest for a few more days. But you can't sit still anymore. Come in with me."
