Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Making great contributions
But what she didn't expect was that the concubine had agreed very well in public, but after summoning the old lady from Bo Zhong's mansion to the palace, she did not mention the princess's affairs.
This also made the old lady of the Zhongbo Mansion wonder. She went to the palace to drink a few cups of tea, chatted for half an hour before leaving the palace.
The people of Zhongbo Mansion are actually happy to see what Zhang Jichen and the princess have done. After all, if it really happens, it will be beneficial to Zhongbo Mansion.
Since they have all come to this point, giving up now is probably going to make the people in the capital laugh at it, so they are more concerned about Zhang Jichen's affairs. Since the concubine did not say anything against it, they don't have to worry about it.
The next day, after Zhang Jichen's uncle retreated from the court, he went to the imperial study room to propose marriage.
The emperor did not refuse at all, but did not agree directly: "This matter depends on the meaning of Princess Jing'an and Princess. Zhang Aiqing will retreat first."
"Yes, I'll leave."
After the people passed, the emperor did not deal with the matter immediately, but picked up the memorial and reviewed it.
When I saw the memorial handed over by Gu Jianchuan, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang, I felt very relieved. This year, the northern Xinjiang was drought in the area. I originally thought that I should receive the memorial for help and transfer food from the Northern Xinjiang to the end of autumn, but I never expected that I received the good news.
Northern Xinjiang has carried out self-rescue, not only creating a water truck that is visible in the south, used to fetch water from the river to irrigate the fields, ensuring the growth of crops. Although the fields far from the water source have reduced production and lost production due to drought, it is still possible to spend this disaster year smoothly, without the need for the court to spend any effort and spend manpower and financial resources on distributing relief grains.
After reading the memorial, the emperor said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, General Cheng's daughter-in-law has made great contributions."
The father-in-law who was serving next to him came forward to pour a cup of tea for the emperor: "General Cheng is blessed. This daughter-in-law who has not passed the door is really a talented person."
The emperor smiled and nodded, "He is indeed a smart person. Otherwise, the northern border will not be able to survive this winter. It will be considered as helping me solve my problems. I will still have to give it a good reward when I return to Beijing."
I thought to myself that since the future daughter-in-law of the general's mansion has made such a great contribution, I will give her a big gift first.
The emperor was mostly clear about what Princess Jing'an did, and said to the father-in-law behind him: "Go and pass the order and let Princess Jing'an enter the palace to see the emperor."
"Yes, the slave will go and pass the order."
Princess Jing'an followed her father-in-law into the imperial study: "Jingan has met the emperor's brother."
The emperor closed the memorial in his hand: "Get up and sit down."
Princess Jing'an had a vague guess in her heart: "Thank you, Brother Xie."
Waiting to sit on the short couch on the side, he spoke: "I wonder what happened to the emperor's brother Xuan Jing'an entering the palace?"
The emperor stood up and walked over: "You entered the palace today because of Yuyan."
Princess Jing'an looked up and said, "Brother, don't you want to marry Yuyan into Bo Zhong's Mansion?"
The emperor picked up the tea that the maid on the side of the house poured for: "Are there any better choices now? What has happened outside? Besides, you know the whole story better than me."
Princess Jing'an's face was full of discomfort: "Brother, you know everything about me. I have never married the person I like in my life. It's a heart-wrenching problem. Now, I just want to fulfill my only daughter. What's wrong with it?"
The emperor felt displeased: "Have you ever thought about the royal face before doing things? Listen to the rumors outside. If you go home and figure it out, come to see me again, go back."
The emperor could see that this royal girl could no longer spoil her, otherwise the royal face would be thrown away by her.
