Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Jin Feng and Ninth Princess cut off the wealth of countless powerful people, and almost the entire elite class in Dakang hated them with itch.
Including those dignitaries in the court who openly support the Ninth Princess's reform, no one knows what they think in their hearts.
The journey from the capital back to Xichuan is filled with thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is inevitable that some people will be tempted.
Upon learning that Jin Feng had returned, Da Liu immediately found the person in charge of the Beijing branch of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and dispatched elite escorts.
The Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce also became lively.
In addition to preparing the supplies that Jin Feng will use on his journey, Luo Lan also needs to purchase them from everywhere according to the list listed by Jin Feng.
In the palace, the ninth princess was also very busy.
"Why do you, a child, think that one thing is coming one time?" Concubine Qing's eyes were red with tears: "Xichuan is so far away, how can you travel a long distance with your body?"
"My daughter has asked the imperial doctor and she is fine..."
The Ninth Princess came up with the same argument she just used to persuade Chen Ji.
"When a woman gives birth to a child, it's a life-or-death crisis. If the imperial doctor says it's okay, then it'll be fine? Also, why don't you come and discuss such a big matter with me?"
Concubine Qing cried and asked: "When you were going to Tubo to get married, I was the last one to know. This time you are going to Xichuan, and I am the last one to know! Am I still your mother-in-law?"
"Concubine, didn't I come to discuss this with you?"
The Ninth Princess took out a handkerchief to wipe Concubine Qing's tears.
"Are you discussing with me? You've obviously made your decision, why are you discussing with me?"
Concubine Qing opened Princess Ninth's hand and said, "I told you not to go to Xichuan, are you willing to listen?"
"this……"
The Ninth Princess lowered her head and was speechless.
"Stop talking, my beloved concubine, she is just stubborn, let her be!"
Chen Ji stepped forward and patted Concubine Qing on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty, it's easy for you to say!"
Concubine Qing wiped her tears and said: "Your Majesty has a group of dragons and phoenixes. Wuyang will leave as soon as he leaves, but I only have Wuyang's child. If she goes to Xichuan, I don't know if I will see her again in this life."
!”
If it were before, Concubine Qing would not have dared to talk to Chen Ji like this.
However, the harem has always been a place where mother is valued according to her son. With Jin Feng's arrival in Beijing, the Ninth Princess completely took control of the court, and Concubine Qing's status in the harem also increased.
The prince forced the palace to rebel and was imprisoned by Chen Ji. The queen, as the prince's biological mother, had long been imprisoned in the cold palace.
Now that the position of queen is vacant, Concubine Qing has become the new master of the harem.
Perhaps because of his love for the house, Chen Ji now relies more and more on Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess, and his attitude towards Concubine Qing is completely different from before. In the past month or two, he spent more than one-third of his time staying at Concubine Qing's place.
Concubine Qing was no longer as restrained as before when facing Chen Ji, and occasionally she dared to lose her temper.
"My dear concubine, what are you talking about? You feel sorry for Wuyang, don't I feel sorry for you?"
Chen Ji said helplessly: "But my daughter will always get married when she grows up. Going to Xichuan is much better than going to Tubo."
"Normally, I would not say anything, but Wuyang is about to give birth to a baby...I have also made a lot of small clothes."
Having said this, Concubine Qing suddenly stood up, walked back to the side hall crying, and took out a pile of baby clothes.
This was done stitch by stitch after she learned that the Ninth Princess was pregnant.
"Mother concubine..."
Given the temperament of the Ninth Princess, her eyes were red at this time.
Suddenly, the Ninth Princess turned around and knelt down towards Chen Ji: "Father, my daughter has an unkind request!"
"Oh, Wuyang, you are still pregnant. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you kneeling? Get up!"
Chen Ji quickly stepped forward to pull Princess Ninth.
But the ninth princess stubbornly refused to get up: "If the father does not agree, my daughter will not get up!"
"If you really can't get up from your knees, how come that guy Jin Feng comes and demolishes my harem?"
Chen Ji cursed in his heart, but asked: "Tell me, what is your unkind request?"
"My mother has always wanted to go to Xichuan to pay homage to her uncle, but she has never been able to make the trip. My daughter wants to take her mother to Xichuan with her!" replied the Ninth Princess.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qing's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of surprise, and she knelt down towards Chen Ji with a face filled with anticipation: "I beg your Majesty to grant me your permission!"
Qing Xinyao and Qing Mulan's biological father, Qing Liancheng, was Concubine Qing's eldest brother.
The eldest brother is like father. It can be said that Concubine Qing grew up with Qing Liancheng when she was a child.
Later, Qing Liancheng joined the army and kept fighting on the frontier. It took several years to return to the capital. Concubine Qing was also sent to the palace, so the brother and sister saw each other very rarely.
Later, Qing Liancheng was injured and retired, and was sent to Xichuan by Chen Ji. He died of illness within two years.
Not seeing her eldest brother for the last time, and not being able to pay homage and sweep his grave, has always been Concubine Qing's biggest regret.
But she was the emperor's concubine and could not leave the palace easily. The regret could only be kept in her heart.
At this time, the Ninth Princess proposed to take her to Xichuan. How could Concubine Qing not be excited?
In this way, not only can he pay tribute to his brother, but he can also take care of the ninth princess.
Chen Ji lowered his head and looked at the Ninth Princess and Concubine Qing who were kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Get up quickly, I promise you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Concubine Qing heard this, she stood up with a happy face.
The Ninth Princess also looked happy.
There are countless girls in Dakang who dream of becoming a concubine in the palace, but the Ninth Princess, who grew up in the palace, feels that entering the palace as a concubine is the greatest misfortune for a woman.
Not only do you have to fight openly and secretly with other concubines for a chance to sleep with her, but you also have no freedom at all.
For example, Concubine Qing couldn't even take a look at her own brother after he died.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Ninth Princess, Chen Ji's harem is actually a prison.
A prison where her mother was imprisoned.
Of course it would be best to take my mother out for a breather.
In the next few days, the Ninth Princess quickly handed over the political affairs of the court to Zhong Wuji and others, and was ready to set off.
Jin Feng's preparations were basically completed and he led his team to pick up Princess Ninth and Concubine Qing at the entrance of the palace.
"Husband, this is too much of a mobilization of troops."
The Ninth Princess looked at the mighty escort team and was speechless.
The escort team consisted of 300 escorts, 1,000 war horses and nearly 100 carriages. The team stretched for hundreds of meters, extending from the entrance of the palace to two streets away.
Although the intersection was not blocked and the bodyguards did not scare the people, the bodyguards were standing on the roadside in full force and neatly, exuding a chilling air.
People passing through these two intersections all chose to take a detour.
"Safety is the most important thing," Jin Feng replied with a smile.
He knew that the Ninth Princess went to Xichuan for fishing this time, but Jin Feng had grown up now and had enough power to change the world.
He didn't want to really become a bait and risk himself, the Ninth Princess and the child in the Ninth Princess's belly.
The powerful have also lost the qualification to fight him to the death.
As long as Jin Feng is fine, no matter how much trouble the dignitaries make, Jin Feng will have the confidence to suppress them even if they occupy the capital!
