184: Dawn's shocking secret, to avoid catastrophic disasters. The monthly ticket is over 3200 plus more. Zi Jin suppressed a smile and waved goodbye to the people of the Yao family, and slowly got on the carriage, but his heart was still pounding.

Stop, the eldest prince is not the biological son of Concubine Shu. He is the illegitimate son of the current emperor. He lied and claimed to be born to Concubine Shu. The current queen only has one daughter, Princess Shunyi, and no legitimate son. The current emperor has three sons. The eldest prince

It was Qin Shifeng, the second prince was Qin Zhaoli, born to concubine Xiang, and the third prince was Qin Fenglin, born to concubine De.

Among the three princes, the eldest prince is the most noble, Concubine Shu is also the most noble concubine under the queen, Concubine De is the second most noble, and Concubine Xiang is the second most noble.

According to the old lady's inference, coupled with the man's extremely twisted psychology, he would not get the best. The son of the lover who drowned in the water is the eldest prince who is now raised in the name of Concubine Shu.

It is very possible to land in Dabao. If this is really the case, Zi Jin feels cold all over, and a slight coldness spreads from the soles of his feet. Even in the middle of summer, his hands and feet are still cold...

It's just a fifth-grade backyard, but Zi Jin is already struggling to survive. How can he fight against Qin Shifeng?

Ye Mingxuan looked at Zi Jin's solemn expression and couldn't figure out what was going on. Seeing her frowning, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with your family?"

Zi Jin slowly came back to his senses, looked at Ye Mingxuan who was close at hand, shook his head gently, and asked: "Mingxuan, who do you think the emperor prefers to be the prince?"

Zi Jin's heart couldn't let go either.

Ye Mingxuan was stunned, looked at Zi Jin and said, "Are you afraid that the eldest prince's accession to the throne will be detrimental to us in the future?"

Zi Jin nodded, "Of course I'm afraid. Now it's just a prince who is so arrogant. How can we fight against him if he really becomes the emperor in the future? There will only be a dead end."

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Mingxuan's mouth, and he said slowly: "The eldest prince has been trying to woo me for a long time, but I have not responded. Now that he has made a grudge with us, you just need to rest assured. It will not be easy for him to get the position of prince. This

There will be a good show in a few days, just wait and see."

Zi Jin knew that Ye Mingxuan would definitely make some moves, but she did not expect that the moves would be so big, nor that her biological father and eldest brother would be involved. She also did not expect that in just half a month, the eldest prince would lose three generals, all of whom were

With overwhelming evidence, he was quickly brought down, without even a review.

Only later did Zi Jin find out that in this wonderful scene, her fair-in-law Feng Beihou and her mother-in-law, the eldest princess, also played an important role. Although no news was given in advance, these forces were used in one place and angered in one place.

The scandal caused a sensation in the entire court. The emperor was furious and ordered that Sui Tang, the governor of Shanxi Province, be beheaded on the spot for public display. The envoys of Yangzhou were inspected at sea, and Yang Dongcheng, the governor of Shandong, was escorted back to Beijing and handed over to the Three Laws Division for trial.

When the news came out, the eldest prince was so calm that he was willing to cut off the arms of these three people to save himself. These three people were also tough-talking, and in the end they did not accuse the eldest prince of taking bribes, disregarding national laws, and buying and selling officials.

All the charges are indeed true and should be punished according to law.

After losing three generals in a row, Qin Shifeng was quite angry. He thought that the replacement should be one of his own, so he sent a message to his subordinates and asked the ministers who were attached to him to jointly recommend his person for office. But he did not

He wanted to be robbed again. The official position of Shandong Governor was the most lucrative among the three vacancies. Ye Mingxuan used some means to recommend his friend Shi Wei to take over. The post of Yangzhou Inspector was not far from the southwest coast. Wu Zhen didn't know where he got it.

The news was actually obtained by his close confidant Zheng Yuanhang, and the post of governor of Shaanxi was appointed by the emperor's own confidant Luo Lin.

In this way, a piece of iron was quickly accepted by the three forces. Except for Zheng Yuanhang, who was Wu Zhen, everyone knew that Luo Lin and Shi Wei had climbed up from the bottom, and no one knew who was behind them.

Because Zheng Yuanhang was far away in the southwest and it would be a month before he arrived in Kyoto to express his gratitude, the residence of Shi Wei and Luo Lin suddenly became very popular, with countless speculators and people coming and going.

Shi Wei is eighteen years older than Ye Mingxuan. There is a huge age gap. No one knows that they are friends for years to come. Ye Mingxuan served as a royal guard and once took Shi Wei's life and became Mo Ni. Almost no one knows about this.

Therefore, when Shi Wei got the post of governor of Shandong, no one suspected that it had something to do with Ye Mingxuan, but some people suspected that Ye Mingxuan was behind Luo Lin.

It's a pity that everyone guessed wrong. Luo Lin and Ye Mingxuan were the enemies. They both worked for the emperor, so naturally they would compete with each other, but not many people knew about it.

Kyoto has been bustling for more than two months, and the secret contest between Qin Shifeng and Ye Mingxuan, Yao Jiaping and Beihou Mansion has come to an end. It is already the hottest time in late August, and he just sits quietly in the room.

She can sweat all over. Zi Jin is afraid of cold in winter and hot in summer. There is an ice basin in the house, but she still feels a little uncomfortable. It's just that ice is not as much as carrots and cabbage. Things are rare and expensive. In such a situation

It’s even more ridiculously expensive during the season.

Large families dig deep and well-maintained cellars to store ice in the winter and use it in the next summer. Even so, they have to save. The number of quotas in each yard is limited. If you exceed the quota,

For example, you have to use your own money to buy it.

In the past, ice was rarely used in Yao Mansion because it was too expensive and could not afford large amounts. So at that time, the girls used cold well water to wipe the floor every day, put the fruit into the well to shine, and then took it out for use.

It can also relieve the heat.

Now that ice can be used in the Hou Mansion, Zi Jin feels that summer is much better than before, and he also saved some of his share to send back to Mrs. Yao, Haishi and Wei Mingzhu. The old lady is older

Without the heat, it was very hard for Wei Mingzhu to be pregnant. As for Haishi... Zi Jin thought that it would be unfilial to give away the old one and the younger one. It would not be unfilial to just leave his aunt behind. So he gritted his teeth and started to take care of his own mother.

I squeezed some out of the batch and sent them back together.

Ice is also a symbol of status. Sometimes you may not be able to buy it even if you have money, so Mrs. Yao wrote a letter to praise Zi Jin for her filial piety.

Wolf, if he has good things, he still misses his aunt, so Heide even gave a little bit to Aunt Wu. After all, Zi Jin crawled out of her belly. Zi Jin was very happy when she found out, He was getting smarter and smarter.

Wei Mingzhu was even more grateful. Even with a lot of money in his hand, he couldn't buy ice. It was really hot this year. Several large icehouses were used by the palace first, and the rest were high-ranking officials.

, and when you get down there, there won’t be much left, and you can’t buy it even if you want to.

One day, Zi Jin frowned and muttered a few words to Ye Mingxuan, remembering Wei Mingzhu's complaint and wondering how Yao Xue and Yao Bing could get along with each other with bigger bellies.

Ye Mingxuan looked at his wife's wrinkled face and said deliberately: "You don't care what they do, their husbands will figure it out."

Zi Jin rolled her eyes at Ye Mingxuan. How could a man know how hard a woman's family works? And isn't ice cubes particularly popular this year? He gritted his teeth and said, "It would be great if I could buy it, but I'm afraid I can't buy it if I have money. These days are really bad."

It’s going to kill you.”

Ye Mingxuan frowned. He had never encountered such a thing before. He couldn't intervene for a while. He looked at Zi Jin's sad face and left without saying a word. In the evening, he came back happily and said to Zi Jin:

"You don't have to worry, the ice cubes will be delivered to my brothers-in-law's homes tomorrow."

Zi Jin was stunned and asked: "Where did you find the ice?"

Ye Mingxuan chuckled, took off his clothes and walked into the clean room, saying: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Angry, Zi Jin gritted his teeth and turned around to tell Xianqiao, "Go and ask the boy who followed the third master where he went and who he met."

Xianqiao responded and went down. Zijin could never imagine where Ye Mingxuan could conjure ice cubes. Xianqiao came back soon and said to Zijin: "I have asked, and the eldest son next to you said that you have gone to the palace."

I went in, and when I came out, I still smelled of oil smoke. When I came back, I changed my clothes in the study outside before entering An Yuan."

When he entered the palace... he still smelled of oily smoke... The only place in the palace where there was oily smoke was the imperial dining room. What was he doing in the imperial dining room?

Zi Jin frowned and said nothing, and suddenly realized that the nobles in the palace loved to eat various cold soups in the summer, and some higher-end ingredients were also put into the cellar to freeze for safety. It turned out that Ye Mingxuan went to the imperial dining room to follow

If someone wants ice, he must have a good connection to get it. Fortunately, he came up with this method. Starting from the kitchen or the kitchen, I am afraid that no one will notice anything. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a clever idea.

So many.

Since the last incident, the Pingbei Hou Mansion has fallen into an extremely strange balance, and this balance is very frightening, especially when Zi Jin gets scared every time he sees the smiling faces of Chu and Chen.

, and have to deal with it.

While she was lost in thought, Shui Rong walked in quietly and whispered: "Young Madam, Madam Feng, the steward there, wants to see you."

Zi Jin was stunned. Aunt Feng was the Chu family's nanny and had always been a confidant of the Chu family. What was she doing here now? After thinking about it, Ye Mingxuan was still cleaning the room, so she said, "Please invite her."

Go sit down in the small flower hall, I'll be there right away."

Shui Rong responded and left, while Xianqiao hurriedly changed Zi Jin's clothes and smoothed her hair before saying, "I don't know if there is anything serious that I need to ask Aunt Feng to come over. Young Madam, you should be careful.

"

Zi Jin was also curious about what Chu family wanted to do for Nanny Feng to come, so she smiled and said, "Let's take a step and see. Come on, go over and have a look."
