The Wife is First - 78 Chapter 78 Fighting evil with evil

After Beiwei Hou made everything clear, he threw up his sleeves and left, going to his wife Qiu. Today he heard that Qiu was pregnant, but he hadn’t gone to see her yet. This is an old man. If the child can be born safely, he can show off in front of the people like Dingnan Hou. Thinking of this, Mu Jin’s originally dull mood suddenly became better.

Mrs. Beiweihou sat in the room all night, thinking everything through from beginning to end.

First of all, Mu Hanzhang was very favored in front of King Cheng and had achieved military exploits. The emperor had already promised to grant him a title of marquis.

Secondly, if Mu Hanzhang has the title of nobility, it will not be his turn to inherit even if Mu Lingbao dies.

However, with Madam Yongchang making such a fuss, if the emperor does not grant another title and directly gives the title to Mu Hanzhang based on the news that the Marquis of Beiwei has become a cripple, then everything will be lost for her.

Therefore, the top priority is to give him a position so that he will not take the position of her grandson. That little bitch is so cheap!

After making up her mind, Mrs. Beiwei Hou lay down to rest for two hours. She got up early the next morning, dressed up neatly, handed the sign and entered the palace.

The morning session on this day was a bit long, because the emperor wanted to summon the eldest prince back to prevent him from being embarrassed in front of the Nanman. Officials from Jing Yu’s faction naturally agreed. Now that King Cheng has returned, the eldest prince is still wasting his time in Yunnan and Tibet. He has been thankless for his efforts and cannot get any military power. It is better to come back quickly so that the fourth prince can also have a helper.

“The terrain in Yunnan and Tibet is complicated. The eldest prince has never led troops before, so it is normal for it to take a while.” Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War said. The implication is that the eldest prince has not fought in a war for more than half a year. You can win wherever you go. It is estimated that only one person who can destroy two vassals in four months like King Cheng will be hard to come by in hundreds of years. These words sounded like they were trying to excuse the eldest prince, but they were actually praising Jing Shao.

“Yes, Your Majesty, quelling the chaos is not a temporary success. If you give the eldest prince some more time, maybe it will be effective.” Another official agreed.

Jing Shao knew that these were his brother’s people, and their purpose was to prevent the eldest prince from returning to the court. Jing Rong and Jing Yu singled out each other to do things with the most benefits. If they couldn’t do it, they thought of letting it go. This was not possible. When the prince returns to the court, the hard work of Pingnan Man will fall on him.

“Jing Shao, what do you think?” Emperor Hongzheng looked at Jing Shao who bowed his head and said nothing. Regarding war matters, he has now become accustomed to asking Jing Shao’s opinion.

“A battle cannot be achieved overnight. The southern barbarians are cunning and the terrain of Yunnan and Tibet is dangerous. It will take a long time to figure out the secrets,” Jing Shao bowed and said, “I thought that the eldest brother was already doing his best. Now, now The days are still short and we can’t see any results, so why not give the emperor some more time?”

Emperor Hongzheng looked at him with deep eyes: “If you are allowed to go, how long will it take to destroy the Southern Barbarians?”

Jing Shao’s heart skipped a beat, and he carefully considered his words and said, “It’s really good luck that I have suppressed the rebellion of the two vassals this time. The eldest brother is accompanied by General Zhengdong. Even if I go there, I won’t do better than them.”

When Emperor Hongzheng heard this, he nodded slightly, believing Jing Shao’s words. After all, Jing Shao had already admitted clearly to him that he was not the one who destroyed Southeast King at all. It was just that King Southeast was unlucky and was killed by his concubine. Although he knew it was because he was lazy and didn’t want to fight, fortunately he always defended his brother without any intention of slandering him. Emperor Hongzheng was very satisfied with this.

As a result, the return of the eldest prince to the court was postponed again. The fourth prince’s face looked a little ugly. Jingchen still looked as if he was as deep as ever before the mountain collapsed. He exchanged a look with Jing Shao and took the Several titles proposed by the Ministry of Rites went to the Imperial Study Room.

Jing Shao came down from the morning court and walked to the side gate where he happened to meet Xiao Qian, the commander of the guards.

“Your Majesty, there is news.” Xiao Qian took Jing Shao and hid in the small doorway.

Jing Shao gave him a little golden turtle: “How do you say it?”

“Hey, Mrs. Beiwei Hou entered the palace early in the morning,” Xiao Qian stuffed the golden turtle into his clothes and whispered, “That lady is really powerful. I asked the eunuch of Yongning Palace to find out, Mrs. Yongchang Bo I almost died of anger.”

But it turned out that Mrs. Yongchangbo cried in front of Yongning Palace after breakfast, repeating over and over again that Yongchangbo had been loyal and good for generations, but now she was allowed to be bullied. She followed Taizu to conquer the world through life and death, and now she was just a crown prince. But the boy wants to be granted the title of marquis, which makes the Duke’s family feel miserable.

Mrs. Beiwei Hou went and cried without saying a word, crying more painfully than Mrs. Yongchang Bo. It is said that the son of the Duke of Maoguo pushed the prince of Beiwei into the water for thirty-nine days and is still ill. One of his two nephews is bedridden and the other has frozen feet. The Marquis of Beiwei has been loyal and loyal for generations, but his title is slightly lower than others, so he was allowed to be bullied. Back then, he followed Taizu to conquer the world through life and death, but now he was almost cut off from his descendants by being punished.

Mrs. Yongchangbo was confused by what she said. She always felt that what she said sounded so familiar. However, since Duke Mao and her family were now in the same family, she naturally wanted to help her and asked her why she thought it was Mao. Made by the government.

Mrs. Beiwei Hou ignored her and just cried, saying that the Queen had promised to arrange a good marriage for her daughter, but she was about to become an old girl and the marriage had not yet been settled. She also said that the grandson of uncle Yongchang’s family destroyed her herbal medicine last time, which she spent three years raising with her own hands in order to treat her mother-in-law’s illness. Now that the herbal medicine is ruined, her mother-in-law’s health is getting worse day by day. Uncle Yongchang didn’t even say an apology.

Mrs. Yongchangbo almost lost her temper when she heard this. Her grandson had cut off several branches of honeysuckle in Beiweihou Mansion last time. Could it be that Beiweihou Mansion still lacks these few pennies and a tael of gunpowder?

After hearing this, Jing Shao put his fist to his lips and couldn’t help laughing.

Xiao Qian couldn’t help but laugh when he said it himself: “Yongning Palace was very lively today. Several ladies who went to pay homage also saw it, and they all hurriedly left while holding back their laughter.”

“What did the Queen Mother say?” Jing Shao thought to himself that Mrs. Beiwei Hou was really powerful. She would blame those two families for everything. The Young Master of Maoguo House and Mu Lingbao did have a feud. He was still there in the summer. Huiweilou saw the two fighting, but the incident of falling into the water had nothing to do with the Maoguo family.

“The Queen Mother was annoyed by the quarrel. She drove the two ladies out of the palace in a rage, saying that she would not care about these things anymore.” Xiao Qian said with a smile. With such a commotion, the two ladies were regarded as outlaws in the capital. Famous.

Jing Shao smiled and thanked Xiao Qian for his help, got on Xiao Hei and ran home. He had to tell his princess about this quickly.

“Your Majesty!” Sun Shangshu was sitting in a sedan chair. When he saw Jing Shao riding a horse and running past the window, he hurriedly called out.

“Eh~” Xiao Hei immediately stopped, raised his horse’s hooves with strength, and walked back in two or two steps.

“What’s wrong?” Jing Shao frowned. He was anxious to go back and have breakfast with his princess. Jun Qing said that he would personally make croquettes for him today!

“Today there are some matters at the Ministry of War that must be decided by the prince. You must go there.” Sun Shangshu said helplessly. This ancestor used to be lazy every three days, but now that he has returned from the war, he has never been to the Ministry of War.

“Got it.” Jing Shao waved his hand. His brother had already told him today that he was going to find a reason to drag down Song An, the old man. Sun Shangshu probably wanted to discuss this matter with him.

“Jun Qing, I’m back!” Jing Shao shouted excitedly as soon as he entered Dongyuan.

Mu Hanzhang quickly applied the medicine on his hand, turned around and went out.

“Where are the vegetable balls?” Jing Shao excitedly hugged his princess into his arms. He was still smelling of food and smelled very delicious. He couldn’t help but sniff the white neck.

Mu Hanzhang was tickled, so he gently pushed him away and pointed to the plate on the table.

There are several plates of exquisite dishes on the table, all served on white porcelain plates. There is only a wooden plate in the middle, which is full of golden fried vegetable balls. There is also a small celadon bowl next to it, which contains the prepared garlic paste. Dip.

Jing Shao didn’t have time to sit down, so he picked one up with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it in one bite. Crispy and delicious, it was so delicious that people couldn’t help but want to eat more, so they ate another one and said vaguely: “Jun Qing, you are so amazing. You have never cooked before and you can make it so delicious!”

Mu Hanzhang helplessly pulled him to sit down and served him a bowl of porridge. Jing Shao refused to get up in the morning and insisted on being intimate with him. In the end, he had no choice but to coax him out by asking him to make vegetable balls.

“This doesn’t count as my cooking. The cook has done everything. I just squeezed them into balls and fried them in the pan.” Mu Hanzhang put his left hand on his lap and only used his right hand to eat.

“It’s already amazing!” Jing Shao added a meatball and fed it to the people around him.

Mu Hanzhang couldn’t refuse, so he had to open his mouth and bite half of it. Before he could bite the other half, the chopsticks had already turned around and stuffed it into Jing Shao’s mouth. Seeing him eating so naturally, Mu Hanzhang didn’t know what to say, so he could only purse his lips and drink the porridge slowly.

Jing Shao brought some vegetables to his princess, but he always felt that something was wrong. After eating the last meatball, he remembered that Jun Qing’s left hand had been placed underneath! Because his etiquette was always in place, his movements were still graceful and smooth even though he had one hand missing. Only then was Jing Shao noticed and grabbed the hand under the table before he could speak.

“Hiss…” Mu Hanzhang took a breath, but by the time it was too late to break away, two translucent blisters appeared in front of Jing Shao on his shiny little finger.

“Jun Qing…” Jing Shao frowned, feeling extremely distressed, and the joy of eating vegetable balls disappeared immediately.

“It’s okay, it’ll be fine in two days.” Mu Hanzhang sighed. Junzi was far away from the kitchen. He had basically never been in the kitchen since he was a child. Watching the cook cook it seemed very simple. If he really let himself cook it, he would Clumsy.

“You are not allowed to go to the kitchen anymore.” Jing Shao asked someone to get some crushed ice, wrap it in silk cloth, and apply it carefully on the blisters.

The cold touch eased the burning pain. Mu Hanzhang watched Jing Shao carefully apply the medicine and blow gently on the injured area. That serious look might only appear when he was studying the formation diagram. Slowly curling her lips, she felt warm in her heart, and it was worth the two hot baths.

“Don’t go out for the next two days. If it freezes again, it will leave scars.” Jing Shao held the jade-like hand, feeling heartbroken.

“The imperial edict has arrived!” The two were talking when suddenly there was an announcement outside the door, and the two looked at each other. Mu Hanzhang asked Duofu to receive the eunuch who delivered the order first. He took Jing Shao and quickly changed his clothes and went to the front yard to listen to the order.

“Princess Cheng Mu Hanzhang accepts the order!” The eunuch who delivered the order glanced at Prince Cheng and his wife who were kneeling on the ground, and unfolded a bright yellow scroll embroidered with five-color dragons.
