After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister - Chapter 231
Mu Wanqing gave her a big gift as soon as she returned to Beijing. The emperor was not stingy, and gave her a palace with a hot spring.
Mu Wanqing’s eyes lit up when she heard that there was a hot spring, that’s good.
The first meeting between the monarch and the minister was very pleasant, and the impression of each other was good.
“Yes.”
As soon as the people left, the emperor looked at the eldest prince who was holding the drawing board tightly, “Emperor, you seem to like the Qingping County Lord?”
‘She didn’t flatter me and pinch my face, but…” The eldest prince didn’t know how to describe it for a while, and was sweating anxiously. “She made me feel very comfortable. “
She has a unique affinity that makes people want to get close.
The emperor glanced at her son, “She respects everyone from the bottom of her heart, including children, and will not be perfunctory because of her young age.”
“Mmmm.” The eldest prince nodded vigorously, which is what he meant, “Who is she?”
“She is a very remarkable person.” This is the emperor’s evaluation of Mu Wanqing.
It is very important to teach by example and deeds, and it is also very important to reason with your children.
He detailed Mu Wanqing’s journey from being an exile to a prisoner, to taking her family out of crime, to becoming a village head, county head, and to the rise of the left servant of the Ministry of Household.
Awesome.
But there is a question in her little head, “She is a woman, can she also be an official?”
The emperor asked strangely, “Why not? The most important task of the king is to use the best talents in the world. Who stipulates that talents can only be men?”
The eldest prince blinked, well, the most beloved father said so, it must be right.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard that Mu Wanqing was coming, she immediately cheered up, looked in the mirror, and asked the daughter-in-law on the side, “Is the Ai family okay?”
The queen smiled, “Empress mother, you are the queen mother of a country, so high above, why should you care about other people’s eyes?”
The Queen Mother was silent, “Shao Xuan likes her very much.”
Actually, she had a good impression of Mu Wanqing. Every time Mu Wanqing gave gifts to the late emperor, she would give a copy to the queen mother, which gave her enough dignity.
The queen’s eyes flashed slightly, “If you want me to say, the king of Xiliang is good at everything, but he has never seen many women, and he is too simple in terms of women’s sex, which is easy to be deceived.”
These words are right on the Queen Mother’s mind. She doesn’t know, but Du Shaoxuan doesn’t listen.
The nephew’s marriage has become a big problem, worrying her to death.
The queen said softly, “If you think people are okay, give them marriages in person, lest the king of Xiliang keep waiting in vain, he is not too young, this is also A nice talk.”
The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, she knew the character of her nephew best, “Shao Xuan said no rush.”
The queen said with a smile, “He said that he is not in a hurry, but he may not think so in his heart. Who doesn’t want to hold the beauty back?”
The Queen Mother was shaken by what she said, “What you said also makes sense.”
There is nothing more important than the success of the Du family.
At this moment, the servant said, “The Queen Mother, the King of Xiliang and Qingping are asking for advice.”
The Queen Mother quickly sat down, “Let them in.”
A pair of young men and women walked in side by side.
The queen mother could not help but secretly applaud, what a pair of well-matched little children.
Du Shaoxuan bowed his hands, “I have seen the queen mother, I have seen the queen.”
Mu Wanqing couldn’t be so casual, so she naturally had to give a big gift when they first met.
Her manners are perfect, her pitching is elegant and calm, and she can’t fault her.
The queen mother couldn’t help looking at the woman in front of her. She was dressed in a sky blue robe, with a jade crown and hair.
She chin slightly, this appearance, temperament and demeanor are the best choice, no wonder her nephew never forgets.
“You just arrived in the capital, are you still used to it?”
“I can get used to it wherever I go.” Mu Wanqing smiled, “Thank you for your concern, this is a small gift, not a respect.”
She passed a brocade box with both hands, and the queen mother was stunned, “What is this?”
“It’s perfume, it’s made of spices and flowers.” Mu Wanqing simply opened the lid and sprayed the air twice, an elegant floral fragrance permeated the room, making everyone I couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
The Queen Mother liked this smell very much, “Is this the smell of peony?”
Her favorite flower is the peony.
Mu Wanqing smiled and said, “The queen mother is graceful and luxurious, the king of flowers peony is the most suitable for you, just spray it on the wrist and behind the ear, it will emit a fragrance as you walk, and the fragrance will last for a long time. scattered.”
Her quiet touts made the Queen Mother in a good mood, and the Queen Mother was very interested in perfume, “This is a special product of Xiliang? Shaoxuan, why don’t you send such a good thing to Aijia?”
Du Shaoxuan cried out, “Queen Mother, how could I not give you something good? I don’t know about it.”
Mu Wanqing can testify, “This is a new product that I developed on my way to Beijing. The young marshal really didn’t know it.”
What is the best money to make? Women and children’s money, children’s dollhouses, and women’s fragrances are all ways to make money.
The Empress Dowager was stunned, she couldn’t believe it, “You developed it?”
Du Shaoxuan couldn’t help but interject, “Empress Mother, have you forgotten those soaps? Those are all from the hands of Qingping County Lord.”
The Queen Mother then remembered those few delicate and beautiful soaps of different colors, which have always been her favorite.
“I didn’t expect you to have such talent. However, these are always trails. Women always have to get married. Women’s flowering period is very short.
Du Shaoxuan suddenly interrupted, “The Queen Mother, you received a gift from the Qingping County Lord. Shouldn’t it be time to return the gift? Ah, there is also a meeting gift.”
She glared at him angrily, and ordered, “Go, fetch the lily brocade with dark flowers and the head and face of the jasper inlaid with pearls.”
It is a tribute, a rare good quality.
Mu Wanqing thanked her happily, as if nothing happened.
The queen mother likes girls who love to laugh, auspicious and happy.
Du Shaoxuan said coldly, “Queen, where’s your meeting ceremony?”
The queen was silent, and pulled off the emerald inlaid pearl flower hairpin on her head, “Qingping County has seen so many good things, don’t despise the simple.”
Mu Wanqing didn’t seem to hear anything, so she took it generously, “The Empress is joking, if your things are not good, there will be no good things in this world.”
The two looked at each other and then moved away.
The queen mother’s thoughts are all on her nephew, and she doesn’t care about the dark front in their words.
The two met with the three giants in the palace, and Du Shaoxuan found an excuse to drag Mu Wanqing out of the palace, and couldn’t wait to catch up.
Back to the county main mansion, everyone was busy for a while, Mu Wanqing sat on the couch by the window casually, picked up the food on the small table, “I’m doing okay today?”
The most important people I saw today were all the most important people, so she thought she was playing games to pass the level.
The emperor is the biggest boss, and the eldest prince is the future boss. The relationship between the two is good.
The empress dowager is getting old, so coax her.
As for the queen…not important.
Du Shaoxuan looked at her smiling face greedily, gave a thumbs up and boasted, “Perfect, everyone has a good impression of you.”
Mu Wanqing asked herself how to deal with it properly.
“Excluding the queen, I don’t remember offending her.”
Du Shaoxuan didn’t expect her to be so keen, and honestly confessed, “I offended her.”
In the eyes of others, she and Du Shaoxuan belong to the Xiliang Group and are a community of interests.
“It’s too stingy to be the mother of a country.”
Du Shaoxuan comforted, “It’s okay, you don’t have many opportunities to deal with each other. You are in the court, and she is in the harem. According to the rules, you can’t see her often.”
The queen had an opinion on her, but Mu Wanqing didn’t plan to please the queen, she also had a temper.
“This is very good, the well water does not make the river water.”
Anyway, people don’t offend me, I don’t offend others, if anyone offends me, I will kill the other party,
She didn’t take the Queen to heart, “By the way, accompany me to pay homage to the late Emperor tomorrow. The late Emperor gave me the grace of knowing.”
The imperial mausoleum is not something she can go to, so let Du Shaoxuan say hello to the emperor.
“Good.”
The next day, Mu Wanqing went to the imperial mausoleum early in the morning to pay homage to the emperor. .
She kept this kindness in her heart. She prayed for a long time while offering the incense, and thanked him sincerely.
She promised that as long as the new emperor trusted her and valued her like he did, she would defend her.
Although she travels in a low-key manner, as soon as she enters the capital, she is targeted by many people, and her every move is under the eyes of others.
But no one expected that she would go to the imperial tomb.
The emperor sighed a few words with the eldest prince after he knew it.
On the third day, Mu Wanqing took people to Huangzhuang at the foot of Luoxia Mountain outside the city, ready to take over.
Huangzhuang Zhuangtou frowned when he heard the news, his face was full of displeasure, and he called a few companions overnight to discuss things.
The good Huangzhuang has become the Zhuangzi of the Qingping county owner, and it is not a good thing to change the owner.
Huangzhuang is very noble with an imperial character, who disrespects him?
“Are you really willing to obey a woman? I heard that she is a powerful character, and there is no sand in her eyes.”
Several people looked at each other, and their expressions were not good-looking.
“Is there any way to drive her away?”
“It’s impossible to drive away, first find a way to fool it.” Zhuang Tou rolled his eyes, “As long as she doesn’t care about this Huangzhuang and is as careless as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can still do business as usual. .”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is specially responsible for the royal family’s industry. Once there are too many industries, problems are prone to occur.
When I meet an incompetent manager again, I will try my best to fool him, saying that there is not much production.
“Let people look at those fake books again, don’t make any mistakes.”
“The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find out the problem, and it is even more impossible for the Qingping county owner. Don’t panic, just relax.”
But their hearts are too early.
“The county magistrate of Qingping is here, hurry up.”
