Chapter 1071 The Princess Wants to Kill 17
Shu Jiao hadn't originally planned to drink it.
As a result, Emperor Qianyuan did not abide by the moral code of martial arts and released Li Wanyi with tears in her eyes.
no way.
Shu Jiao sent a batch of fine jewelry to the palace, and asked her if her husband had chosen one.
Nope.
Damn!
My precious daughter's happiness for the rest of her life...
Li Wanyi immediately turned her attention to choosing a prince consort.
Shu Jiao left with a smile, handing the list to Emperor Qianyuan.
Emperor Qianyuan was stunned when he saw it, then looked at Shu Jiao in surprise, "Is this the person you want?"
Good guy.
You really can't hide your ambition at all, can you?
"Could it be that the Emperor is unwilling to give it to me?"
Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, then frowned for a second before she raised her handkerchief and flicked it gently, saying sadly, "After all, it's just that my son is not liked by my father."
"I just asked the emperor for a few men, but he refused to give them to me. This really breaks my heart~"
Emperor Qianyuan: ...
Tsk.
Didn't see it.
"Okay. I'll give it to you."
Emperor Qianyuan glanced at the list again and put it down casually. "How about establishing a new Chengjing Mansion?"
"Father is the master."
Shu Jiao's expression changed instantly. She walked to Emperor Qianyuan with a smile and patted his shoulder. "Your Majesty, you treat me so well."
Emperor Qianyuan tensed for a moment, then slowly relaxed. "Didn't you just say that I don't like you?"
He rarely gets close to his children, but...
It’s a different feeling.
"How could that be possible? I am just talking nonsense."
Shu Jiao glanced at the memorial with a smile.
"You can watch it if you want."
Emperor Qianyuan closed his eyes slightly. "Song Shang is commanding the entire army in the Battle of Yuncheng. He is currently mobilizing troops. Who do you want to take with you?"
"Father, I sincerely feel that you have worked hard and want to take care of you."
"Forget it if you don't bring it."
“Bring, bring, bring!”
Shu Jiao said jokingly, "Mu Ying must be brought with her. She is good at both military strategy and martial arts. She might become the next General Song."
"The new group of people I'm bringing here should also go for a walk on the battlefield."
"Ten places."
"Alright! Thank you, Father. I know that I am the apple of your eye."
After saying that, Shu Jiao let go and ran away.
Emperor Qianyuan opened his eyes and saw that she had already slipped to the palace gate, and he was so angry that he laughed.
This little bastard is shameless when it comes to coaxing people. He can say anything and act out any tricks.
Once you get something beneficial, you turn your back on others.
As soon as Shu Jiao left, Emperor Qianyuan's personal steward came in with a smile and handed a box to Emperor Qianyuan.
"Your Majesty, this is the gift Princess Xining asked me to give you."
Oh?
Emperor Qianyuan looked up at the small rosewood box, unable to guess what was inside, so he opened it to take a look.
Inside are several small paintings, which are true portrayals of the disaster relief areas in Xianzhou.
From being devastated, with land flooded, people and animals killed and injured, and despair everywhere; to being provided with porridge and medicine, building new houses, renovating farmland, and re-planting crops, the surrounding areas are full of vitality.
All painted on it.
There were also a few pages of rough, written paper underneath.
The handwriting was clear and dignified, and it contained official words of thanks to the court and Emperor Qianyuan;
The handwriting was childish, and it expressed his expectation to have a good meal tomorrow, as he still had to go to school.
The handwriting was ugly, and there were even typos. They kept on writing, thanking the emperor, saying that they were very happy because the crops had been planted and the taxes had been reduced.
Emperor Qianyuan stared at it for a long time.
Finally, he laughed in relief and scolded, "Little bastard."
All the tricks were played on him.
But it just happened that it hit his heart. Xining was indeed more suitable to ascend the throne than her brothers!
"Alright, call the doctor back."
I was just teasing the little guy.
Emperor Qianyuan stroked the portrait with his fingertips, "Come here, pass on the order!"
Since the little guy wants someone, he, as a father, can't delay.
If he waits for two days, the little girl will probably come to him crying again, saying that he doesn't love her anymore.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qianyuan laughed again.
Soon, the imperial edict was passed down.
Shu Jiao wanted quite a few people this time, ranging from the second to the eighth rank, almost enough to form a team for a crown prince.
Emperor Qianyuan was also very generous.
Give it as you say it.
Let these people take on multiple positions, so that they can be busy in the court while also taking care of the affairs of Chengjing Mansion.
What is Chengjing Mansion?
It is a subordinate mansion of Princess Xining's mansion.
In other words, this group of people has been assigned to Shu Jiao by Emperor Qianyuan.
The imperial edict shook the court.
They actually all guessed that according to Emperor Qianyuan's habit, he would definitely prepare a team for Shu Jiao after she came back this time.
but!
I didn’t expect so many people!
The previous princes did not receive such treatment.
Some perceptive court officials watched this scene and secretly withdrew their support for several princes, while members of the faction that firmly supported the princes were quite uneasy and tried hard to instigate their master—
Hurry up!
Quickly strangle this Princess Xining in the cradle.
Otherwise we have no hope!
The princesses' palaces reacted faster than the court officials.
The threshold of Princess Xianghe's mansion, which has always been low-key, was trampled down by the other princesses whose power was taken away.
Don't underestimate them.
At this time, Princess Xianghe still had military power, and the other princesses had no power, but that didn't mean they had no one, and they had plenty of money.
Several princesses discussed it together -
If you don’t move now, when will you wait?
"Look at the people the emperor has given me: the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue, the heir apparent of Prince Gong's mansion, the heir apparent of Marquis Dingguo's mansion, and the mansion of General Yu... every one of them is a truly capable official!"
"Aunt, if we wait any longer, I'm afraid there won't be any place for us!"
"Yes, sister, place your bets early!"
The princesses kept trying to persuade her, and were so anxious that they wished they could go to Princess Xining's mansion in person.
Three days later, Shu Jiao received a visiting invitation from Princess Xianghe's mansion.
"How can I trouble you to come in person?"
Shu Jiao welcomed the guest in politely and with a very good attitude.
Could it be bad?
Big investors are coming!
"I haven't seen you for a while. Xining has become even more outstanding."
The elderly Princess Xianghe looked at Shu Jiao with a smile, her eyes full of love.
"Don't praise me anymore, Auntie. If you continue, I'll be blown away to the sky."
Shu Jiao pretended to be embarrassed.
The two of them actually just chatted about family matters.
There was no mention of anything like surrender or benefits.
Why bother mentioning it?
The fact that Princess Xianghe, an elder who was able to compete with Emperor Qianyuan and even lived to this day, personally visited the home of Shu Jiao, a junior, explained everything.
She lowered her head.
She wants to support Shu Jiao.
"Your father, humph, is quite cunning. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."
Princess Xianghe said, "My aunt still has some people on hand who will definitely help you."
His tone was full of complaints towards Emperor Qianyuan and expectations for Shu Jiao.
I don't have any resentment.
After all, she was not as skilled as others back then, so she admitted defeat and surrendered to Emperor Qianyuan. So she had to accept the frustration she had endured for decades.
She can afford to lose.
She refused to hand over the military power, even though it was an eyesore to Emperor Qianyuan, but she had to keep this life-saving talisman for herself.
Just now...
