"Miss, now there are rumors in the city that several aristocratic families are jealous of talents and are deliberately slandering the imperial concubine. Some of them mentioned His Royal Highness Prince Xuan... You said that the eldest princess is inviting you to come to the palace just to...
…”
Liang Xiang raised his hand to help his young lady out of the carriage. As she walked, Lianxiang whispered into her young lady's ear.
She and her young lady have been living in Prince Xuan's Mansion these days, because Prince Xuan's illness requires three times of marrow cleansing and detoxification in addition to regular care.
King Xuan's retreat in the past few days was due to the very dangerous first poison extraction.
Now His Royal Highness King Xuan is still soaking in the medicine vat, but Marquis Anding and the eldest princess have found their lady...
As the lady's personal maid, Lianxiang said it was impossible not to worry.
"Why don't we know this when we go in?"
Yan Moqing smiled and pinched Lianxiang's nose, without any tension between her brows.
Even Lianxiang could guess something, how could she not know?
She just didn't expect that Andinghou and his wife would be so impulsive, and that Xiao Xiruo's counterattack would be so violent.
"Mo Qing, you're finally here, Mo Qing. How are you? Is Xuan'er okay?"
As soon as Yan Moqing stepped into the inner courtyard, Marquis Anding and the eldest princess came to greet them. At the same time, behind them were the crown prince Lu Liang and a group of cronies from the Marquis's mansion.
Unknowingly, this charming young lady who was born in the General's Mansion has gained a good reputation among the Xuan King's lineage.
After briefly describing Feng Xuan's situation to everyone, Yan Moqing immediately changed the topic to the present.
But the situation mentioned by Andinghou and his wife was actually more serious than she imagined.
Mr. Lin Xiaohou was indeed a famous loudmouth in the capital. Several waves of rumors were released, which forced her to see the shadow of public relations and marketing in her previous life.
First, he released the conspiracy behind the rumors, emphasizing that the Xiao family was not tolerated by the aristocratic family, but the Xiao family had a poor family background for the country and the people...
Then he used the rumors about the emperor and his concubine to wash away the scandal, and portrayed the Night King as a good cousin who wanted to put on the emperor's shoes for the sake of his cousin's happiness.
After this operation, everyone will feel that the imperial concubine loves the emperor, and the uncle and brother Ye Wang will be very angry.
As for the person who fabricated the rumors, his intention couldn't be more obvious - to take revenge on Xiao Xiruo.
"Now that the rumors are reversed, the Xiao family still refuses to let it go. They incite the people and win over the children. The people are fine, but the family ignores the soldiers on the border and does not provide food, but what about those children?"
Several of Marquis Anding's cronies gritted their teeth and wanted to tear up those sour scholars who talked nonsense.
"They denounced the officialdom of Dayan, saying that we aristocratic families control the court and favor nepotism, saying that today's imperial examinations are in name only, and you can pass them if you pay... Since noon today, there has been no commotion outside the Hanlin Academy! Lord Marquis, this matter cannot continue.
Go down."
Not only the Anding Marquis Mansion, but Shoukang Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion are also lively at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examinations over the years have not been clean. Not to mention the capital city, there are many candidates in various places in Dayan who have caused trouble because of this."
Officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood in the lobby and spoke to Feng Qi and others worriedly.
Not to mention the past few years, just talking about the imperial examinations in the past two years, they have filled in a lot of people.
If this matter continues, there will be big trouble sooner or later.
As the saying goes, it is better to defend the people than to defend the river. A few dozen can be killed, but how to kill hundreds or thousands? Wouldn't killing them all cause public outrage?
Ignoring Feng Qi's gritted teeth, Xie Feng was the first to nod helplessly.
At the same time, the Queen Mother Hua in Shoukang Palace also gritted her teeth, looking like a lioness with explosive hair.
All the officials of the Hua family below were trying hard to say that they all hoped that their queen mother would take care of the overall situation and stop competing with the noble concubine of the Xiao family.
It's just a loss once, can't you just get it back next time?
"Don't worry, aunt, the Xiao family only has this ability. But no matter how stupid these stupid people are, they can't be incited by her again and again. As long as this matter is revealed, won't it be easy for us to deal with her?"
Hua Suyi held a bowl of hibiscus chicken soup that replenished qi and blood, and comforted her aunt obediently and intelligently.
However, there were many people entering the palace today to discuss matters, and among them there were also people with exquisite minds.
"I have the courage to ask the Queen Mother to expose this matter in consideration of the overall situation. It is not because of Concubine Xiao, nor because of a bunch of unreasonable and unreasonable scholars, but for yourself, the Queen Mother."
"oh?"
Queen Mother Hua raised her head and caught a glimpse of Yan Jin'er, who was wearing a lake blue palace dress and had a beautiful appearance.
This was the first time they had met since the other party was forced to marry Feng Hua. It was not that she had summoned this woman intentionally, but that Feng Hua had voluntarily let the new princess enter the palace to discuss matters for him.
"Jin'er is not talented. He thinks that the affairs of the Xiao family are trivial in front of the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Banquet. And after the Luotian Festival, the people may not know who they will support more. So, Empress Dowager, why do you have to let this happen?
If it continues to ferment, will it disturb your good mood for hosting the Qianqiu Banquet?"
Yan Jin'er's words simply touched the heart of Queen Mother Hua.
She has always been strong and unwilling to compromise with anyone.
But if it was for herself, then this matter would be much simpler.
Holding Yan Jin'er's hand, Queen Mother Hua finally nodded to Hua Qingsong and others, signaling her agreement.
So the cabinet quickly received news from the Hua family and Prince Qi's palace, asking them to immediately coordinate military rations and replenish Beiliang's military supplies as soon as possible.
No matter how long it takes to raise this army ration, you must show concern for Beiliang.
This can not only ease the conflict between the imperial court and the Xiao family, but also appease the people, so that the common people will no longer follow the emperor's nonsense...
The other thing is to use new news to cover up old news and suppress the previous rumors as soon as possible.
While these two companies were repairing the loopholes, the Xuan Wang family, under the guidance of Yan Moqing, opened another path.
That is to send people to follow the officials to make trouble, and to follow the common people to overturn the rumors.
They became the first aristocratic family to stand up and express that the imperial court's decision on military rations was indeed a disgrace to the Xiao family and the common people.
So they will immediately make excuses and ask the court to make up for the Xiao family's losses.
The fact is that the imperial court really took action, but only under the pressure of the Hua family and King Qi.
But the people don’t know.
They have begun to feel that Prince Xuan's Mansion is different from other aristocratic families. It is a breath of fresh air among the aristocratic families and a great example for the country and the people.
As for how these rumors spread, you probably have to ask Yan Moqing, who is now learning and practicing.
"So, Madam, why did you vomit blood that day?"
In Changle Palace, after summarizing the situation outside the palace for Xiao Xiruo and scolding the Xuan Palace for being shameless, Wen Susu changed the topic and caught Xiao Xiruo off guard.
Feng Yehan and others felt that she was acting with all her life, but only Wen Susu and others knew that she really vomited blood due to reverse blood flow.
As for the reason, you have to ask about her magical system that notifies her even of failed hidden achievements.
Drawing two hundred times in a row and missing once would be an achievement, but she drew a Shiquan Dabu Pill on the two hundredth time.
At that moment, not only was her blood flowing backwards, but she also had the heart to ascend to heaven. This chapter has been completed!
