Tang Weiming, however, could not understand Chu Nanzhi's intentions, and still felt aggrieved for her.
After waiting to enter the courtyard of the old house and looking at the princess who calmly stepped out of the carriage with a nonchalant look on her face, Tang Weiming said angrily:
"Princess, you don't have to be afraid of the Queen Mother. You and Your Highness are both the Queen Mother's favorite people. Don't say that it was Princess Qian who disrespected Your Highness and the Princess this time. Even if Princess Qian keeps her duty, you don't have to be like this.
If you get used to her, she just married into the general's palace, so in terms of dignity, she can no longer be compared with the princess."
Seeing that the young eunuch kept insisting on this matter, even though he was complaining about himself, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and said to him with a forced smile:
"Why do Mr. Tang think His Highness and Mr. Yin have to refuse these congratulatory gifts today?"
Tang Weiming frowned suspiciously: "Could it be that His Highness really feels that the congratulatory gifts sent by the county officials are too expensive?"
"This is only one aspect."
Chu Nanzhi explained with a smile: "Our Jiangnan officialdom has been corrupt for a long time. This is already known to everyone. The reason can only be traced back to the inaction of previous superiors. These people deceived the superiors and concealed it."
Being used to violating the yang and the yin, I feel that I can always rely on buying off the superior officials to cover up the evil deeds committed by my superiors.
Nowadays, people all over the world have become extravagant to eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. These so-called parents came to attend His Highness's conferment ceremony, and the gifts they prepared actually exceeded the palace's annual food supply. If His Highness accepts the gifts with peace of mind, what if Mr. Tang
How should those people who don’t have enough to eat feel?”
Tang Weiming suddenly became enlightened and nodded slowly: "I'm afraid that everyone will be extremely disappointed and even disappointed with the entire Pingning Prefecture. I don't know how many Yulong Gangs will rise up in the future."
"So it's not that His Highness doesn't love money, it's just that he doesn't want to join in."
Chu Nanzhi's tone became deeper and continued: "Although His Highness's actions today have chilled the hearts of many officials who want to come here to seek help, it has given hope to the people who are in deep danger. At least they can believe in Pingning Prefecture.
There is still a clear stream of water, which strengthens the faith of those officials who still have great righteousness and want to serve the imperial court."
"I see, Your Highness is really broad-minded and will not compromise for small gains."
After understanding the whole story, Tang Weiming admired King Pingning for a while and fell into admiration.
No wonder the Empress Dowager held Prince Ping Ning in such high regard. With his talents and knowledge, he would be able to revive the Dahe Empire sooner or later.
Seeing that he finally understood Lin Jinxiao's difficulties, Chu Nanzhi nodded happily and said:
"This Princess Qian has been well clothed and well-fed since she was a child. She only knows that the things she likes must be paid for no matter what. She doesn't understand the sufferings of the people. She thinks that she can do whatever she wants with the power in her hands. How could she know that if the people are all starved for food?
He is in a position where he dares to kill people. If his skin is gone, how can his hair be attached?"
"The princess is still insightful."
The affection and respect in Tang Weiming's eyes almost overflowed.
I have seen countless noble people in the palace, but most of them are mediocre people. They spend their whole day just to avenge petty and cunning schemes. I have never met a strange woman who cares about the people like her.
Thinking of the Empress Dowager in the palace, Tang Weiming said with a deep smile: "In the past few months, I have often heard the Empress Dowager talking about the fact that there is a person like the Princess beside His Highness. If the Princess comes to Beijing and sees her,
The Empress Dowager, she must be very happy."
"The Queen Mother?"
For some reason, as soon as she saw this person, Chu Nanzhi felt a sense of sincere respect in her heart.
He lost his beloved son in his early years and was abandoned by his husband. He managed to support a huge empire by himself. Over the years, he worked hard to deal with various powerful forces. What kind of perseverance does this old man have to support him until now?
Although it failed to put the Dahe Empire on the road to prosperity, it was not easy to be able to check and balance the forces of all parties and prevent the empire from falling into war.
Thinking that she would meet this legendary old man soon, Chu Nanzhi looked at Tang Weiming excitedly and curiously, and asked with interest: "Is the Empress Dowager easy to get along with?"
When mentioning the Queen Mother, Tang Weiming was immediately in awe: "She is the kindest person in the world."
Chu Nanzhi could think of the appearance of the old man in the palace from the true feelings in his eyes. He must be a well-respected person.
In this way, my psychological pressure was suddenly reduced a lot.
Without further questioning, the master and servant strolled into the courtyard and saw Ji Cen'an coming out of the living room.
When the two met, Ji Cen'an first bowed his hand respectfully, and then apologized with shame: "Brother and sister-in-law, what happened to Wanying is all because I didn't discipline her properly."
"This matter has passed. Commander Ji does not have to blame himself."
Chu Nanzhi looked at his dejected look, then remembered that he was Ji Wanying's cousin, and comforted him: "Commander Ji has to train troops and patrol the camp all day long, so don't worry about such trivial matters."
Seeing that she told a story that shocked everyone so calmly, and that her cousin still deliberately harmed her, Ji Cen'an was deeply moved and said deeply: "I, the Ji family, will always remember the day of my brother and sister-in-law.
A great favor.”
"They are all members of our family, Commander Ji, there is no need to be so polite."
Chu Nanzhi said politely, but her heart was filled with joy.
Both the Ji and Yin families are the most prosperous relatives in Jingling City. Being able to get the promise from Princess Shu's consort undoubtedly gave him a lot of confidence to enter the capital.
Seeing his hurried appearance, Chu Nanzhi immediately changed the subject: "Commander Ji, what is the matter with this hurried coming and going?"
"My brother and sister-in-law must also know something about the affairs in Beijing. I don't dare to stay in Luyan Port anymore. I came here to ask Brother Jinxiao when he will return to Beijing."
"Has it been decided yet?"
He had already made a plan, but after hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but panic.
She didn't know since when, she had become accustomed to seeing that handsome and gentle face every day when she opened her eyes, and she was also accustomed to his concern and protection at every turn.
Chu Nanzhi was about to be separated from him unexpectedly, and the reluctance hidden in Chu Nanzhi's heart finally burst out at this moment.
"Without further delay, I have already informed my elder brother that we will return to Beijing on the third day of October. If my brother and sister-in-law have anything unprepared, please tell Yin Erlang to send someone to prepare it as soon as possible."
As soon as Ji Cen'an finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi felt even more melancholy.
She forced a smile and responded to him, then returned to the living room calmly.
The house was busy. The two elders did not come to teach today. The quadruplets dragged Shen Yunqing and Xiao Muci to play Cuju in the yard all afternoon. They were all dirty and sweaty. Liu Yun
He was leading the maids to take them to take a bath.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the little ones were so excited that they all came forward and shouted happily: "Aniang, Aniang, just now Uncle Ji's uncle came to the house to tell us that we will be entering Beijing in a few days.
.”
"Uncle Ji said that there are more delicious and fun places in Jinling City than in Luyan Port. Uncle Ji said that when we get to Jinling City, he will take us to the palace to play."
San Bao Lin Rui Chong said happily.
Seeing how happy they all were, Chu Nanzhi did not want to dampen their interest. She smiled in agreement and asked softly: "Where is your father?"
"My father and General He are talking in the study."
Erbaolin Ruixi replied with a smile.
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the babies again and ordered them to follow Liu Yun to the backyard to bathe and change clothes, while she turned around and went to the study.
