Just as Grandma Chen was about to answer, Bixue had already hurried in, leaned into Ji Ling's ear, and said a few words with a beaming look on her face.
Then, Grandma Chen looked at Concubine Chen and raised her eyebrows, and asked Bixue: "Is the news confirmed?"
Bixue clasped her hands in front of her chest and said, "It came from someone from Jiuzhou Qingyan, so it can't be wrong."
Ji Ling stood up and walked around the room.
Her "father" became a third-rank official.
It's ridiculous to say that she hasn't met her "dad" yet - Ji Qian!
But this father has really taken advantage of his daughter.
Ji Ling held her wrist, thinking that after the last time she was injured in Yangxin Hall, Yinzhen allowed herself to recuperate in Yanxi Hall, and also summoned Mrs. Ji to visit the palace.
She thought of the private money that Mrs. Ji left to her, and she felt a little sad: According to the memory of the original owner, this mother's life was not easy. She had a doting concubine at home and her husband didn't love her - the loss was Zheng Zheng's.
Madam Shi, she can still hold on to the money, so she carefully prepared the money for her daughter.
Let's talk about Naji and Guizhou. Although it was because of his daughter that he left the capital last time and became a third-rank official, which was euphemistically called "experience".
Even Ji Qian himself can't help but think: At this age, what else do you have to experience?
The place he went to was a place that was either bad or good. In addition, he had an upright personality and was not adaptable. He was far less smooth and smooth than his colleagues.
Fortunately, everyone knew that his daughter was deeply favored by the emperor. No matter where she went, not only did no one dare to embarrass him, but they also fought to do everything for him.
So how deep are the connections in the officialdom? Ji Qian has been a fourth-rank official for many years before. He has long been accustomed to the affairs of one-third of an acre of land at hand, and his character has become easier to cultivate.
Now that he suddenly arrived, he was surrounded by many twists and turns and things that he couldn't cope with.
Seeing the opportunity, a group of people around him fawned over him and tried their best to make things perfect for him, thereby building friendships in every possible way.
Fortunately, although Ji Qian was not clever, he was a man who had taken the imperial examination. He was serious and calm. He studied seriously and got six or seven points. In the end, his colleagues and superiors could not help praising his political achievements at the end of the year.
There is something in the sky and nothing on the earth. He wrote it like this and submitted it to the capital. Soon, news came from the imperial capital that he was naturally promoted to a third-rank official.
For a time, Ji Qian had the air of a high-ranking official in the DPRK as he put on the peacock-pattern embroidered patchwork of a third-rank civil official.
How many people are so jealous that they almost turn into rabbits.
You must know how difficult it is to reach the third rank of civil servants. Many people work hard on their official career and dare not relax their whole life. When they grow old, they will hardly be able to reach the third rank, which is incredible.
If the imperial examination is a hurdle, the third grade of civil service is another invisible hurdle.
Leaving aside hundreds of kinds of scenery and weight, let's talk about one thing - civil servants can "beg for retirement" at the age of sixty-five.
The so-called "begging for leave" means to retire and go home.
As for the benefits after retirement, they mainly include titles, salaries and gifts, which are different for everyone.
The imperial court will determine the treatment of each Hugh civil servant based on his or her original rank.
Many officials still received corresponding salaries after retirement. This kind of retirement salary represented another favor from the court to officials.
However, the standards for receiving retirement salary are completely different, with full salary and half salary.
The third grade here becomes a dividing line.
Officials below the third rank will be given a half salary, while officials above the third rank will be given a full salary.
But then again, for officials who can reach the third rank or above in the court, the silver tael of full salary or half salary is just like three dates and two dates, there is not much difference.
What they really value is what this full salary represents, the court's recognition of their official life.
The news that Chen Concubine's father was once again promoted in the court quickly spread to the public.
Hua Rong said cautiously: "After all, the concubine is pregnant now, and the emperor is happy, so it is not unusual to give her a reward for a while."
When Ulanara heard the news, he was surprised at first, and then calmed down.
What play is the emperor singing in?
When the daughter is promoted from Chang Zai to a noble person, the father is promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank.
Now the daughter is promoted from noble to concubine, and the father is promoted from the third rank to the third rank.
It's really completely synchronized.
Ulanara was silent for a long time, thinking: Yinzhen probably had only one intention in promoting Ji's father and granting her mother's family a reward. He was planning ahead and simmering slowly, first for the sake of being promoted to the status of concubine later.
Be prepared.
After being married for many years, she knew his temperament - he would wait and see the overall situation and plan ahead for everything.
For example, a move today might have started to take shape three years ago.
Chen concubine, Chen concubine...
He protected her in this way and paved the way for her, planning everything carefully: the small kitchen, the birthing nun, the wet nurse, the small stove of Chen's concubine Qingyan in Jiuzhou, and then the concubine's father's today's
Promote.
His love was a reliable umbrella, covering her under it to protect her from the wind and rain, so that she did not have to know the sorrows of the world, and she only had to enjoy having children and grandchildren around her for the rest of her life, noble and worry-free.
Uranara sat silently in the open space.
In summer, at the beginning of the day, the sky should still be bright, but here it was already dark.
…
In the evening, after the political affairs had just been settled, Yinzhen went to the natural painting in excitement.
He came early that day, but he was notified in advance and was officially notified of Ji Ling's father's ennoblement.
So Ji Ling didn't ask Xiao Dazi to prepare dinner, but directly brought the meal from the small stove set aside for her by Emperor Qingyan of Kyushu.
It was Qixi who brought the new palace maid there. There were two people when they went there, but four when they came back. When the people from Jiuzhou Qingyan saw that it was the palace maid next to the concubine who came with the little maid to bring the meal.
, you immediately rushed to help deliver the food box to the natural painting.
Then Xiao Dazi was in the dining room, keeping hot water warm across the water, waiting for the emperor to arrive before setting the dining table.
As soon as Yinzhen entered the door, Ji Ling got down and said, "Concubine, please send your greetings to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace of mind!"
She was still young at this time, and her belly was not visible at all. It was not difficult for him to do such small movements, as long as she was gentle and slow down.
It frightened Yinzhen so much that he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her.
He saw that she was wearing a tender green robe today, and the green was so tender that it seemed as if it was dripping from the fabric.
The bottom edge of the robe was trimmed with fish-belly white piping, and branches from bottom to top were densely covered with fish-belly white pear blossom branches. She stood there with her hands clasped beside her belly, and when she glanced at her, she saw something like a
A small green vegetable turned into a spirit.
As if holding a crystal doll, Yinzhen even lowered his voice deliberately. He held Ji Ling's hands and looked her up and down carefully. Then he touched Ji Ling's head and gave her a slight shake.
He said with a sullen face: "I have already said that no courtesy will be tolerated."
Ji Ling also smiled and said to Yinzhen: "It's not just to say hello, I'm also to thank the emperor."
Yinzhen knew that she was talking about her father's promotion. He came to see Ji Ling, and he was a bit excited. At this time, he couldn't help but smile, patted the back of her hand and said, "Let's talk after we go in."
