"Shut up!" Jing Shao walked in with a cold face.
Song Ling Xin, who was standing in the center of the study with one hand on her waist, swallowed back the breath she had originally raised in her chest.
Mu Hanzhang sat in front of his desk, frowning slightly, when he saw Jing Shao come in, the look on his face eased a little and he stood up to give him a salute, "Your Highness has returned."
Jing Shao walked over to Mu Hanzhang's side and glanced at Song Lingxin and the two maids behind her, "Song Lingxin, what kind of attitude is this towards the crown princess?"
"Your Highness ~" Song Lingxin screamed in aggravation, took a deep breath and said, "My concubine is for the peace of the royal family, the crown princess he ......"
"You shut up!" Jing Shao felt a headache when he heard Song Lingxin's shrill voice and turned his head to the person beside him, easing his tone and asking, "Junqing, what's going on?"
Mu Hanzhang lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "Nurse's health is not good, there is no one to take care of her in the farm, I want to receive her and her son into the Wang Fu's servant's room for a period of time, and let them go back when Zhou Da's leg injury is healed." The warm and pleasant voice spoke without haste, very comfortable to listen to.
"Your Highness, the royal residence has always refrained from entering outsiders, this is the rule, once the crown princess starts this, in the future, won't it be possible for anyone who wants to stuff this place?" Song Lingxin argued with reason, in her opinion, among the royal family, the most taboo thing is to have other people's spies in the mansion, as long as you hold this point, you don't believe that the king will stand on Mu Hanzhang's side.
Jing Shao frowned.
Song Lingxin saw that she got to the point, a hint of complacency flooded her heart, "The concubine is in charge of the inner house's large and small affairs, so she has to be responsible for this inner house, and the subordinate's rooms are all at the back of the West Court, so if any person of unknown origin comes in, it's impossible to say what has happened."
The West Garden is living in the concubine female family, the so called accident, naturally refers to some bad sounding ...... Mu Hanzhang slowly clenched his fists, Song Lingxin spoke so, it is clear that he is insulting him.
"Slap!" Before Mu Hanzhang could speak, Jing Shao's slap had already slapped Song Lingxin's face.
Song's eyes widened as she looked at Jing Shao incredulously.
"Since you can't manage the inner house well, you'll hand over all the account books to the crown princess today." Jing Shao said coldly.
"Your Highness!" Song Lingxin covered her face, not understanding how she was suddenly beaten when she clearly had the upper hand and had her right to be the head of the house taken away from her on the spot, she couldn't help but raise her voice and shrillly say, "Concubine is looking out for the sake of the royal family, how could you do this to concubine! Wangfei is simply not good at governing the royal household! The roster set the rules, and during the nine days that the concubine served in the bed, the king didn't go even for a single day! Who would listen to such a person if he holds the center feeder!"
"Enough! From today onwards, the side lady is grounded for a month!" Jing Shao rubbed the corners of his distended forehead and looked at Song, who was still struggling and screaming under the persuasion of his subordinates, and waved his hand, "Pull it out! Without this king's permission, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard."
The guards outside the door walked in, and the two maids persuaded Song Ling Xin to pull and tug and walk out.
The room was finally quiet, Jing Shao sighed and picked up the half-drunk tea on the table from Mu Hanzhang and swallowed a large mouthful.
"I was a bit anxious when I received the news early this morning, and I was momentarily ill-considered." Mu Hanzhang saw him drinking from his own cup, and in no hurry to stop him, so he did not say anything more, but for the matter of receiving the nurse to the royal residence, it was indeed he who had not thought it through well.
"You are the crown princess of this house, what you say cannot be questioned by others," Jing Shao laughed and gently wrapped his arms around him, "I didn't go to the West Garden these past few days, Song Lingxin is just using the topic to give play to it."
Mu Hanzhang pursed her lips, "I can take the milkmaid to the manor that I accompanied ......"
"No," Jing Shao touched his soft and smooth long hair, "received to the mansion, if you want to let them live all the time can also, go to the Marquis of Bei Wei House to discuss, count them as your accompanying room is." The dowry not only includes property, but also includes some accompanying rooms, Jing Shao knows that Jun Qing's accompanying rooms are very few, since his nurse's family is his trusted, stay in the mansion for him to call is a good thing.
Mu Hanzhang looked at him steadily, slowly came over and put his chin on Jing Shao's shoulder, "Little Spoon, thank you." Husband's support is very important for the status of the first wife and the management of the inner house, now Jing Shao is completely on his side, even obvious favoritism, how rare this kind of treatment is in the house of princes and lords, no one is more aware of it than him.
Jing Shao was thrilled at Mu Hanzhang's initiative to get closer, only feeling the numbness and itchiness on his shoulder where he was in contact with him, he couldn't help but reach out and hug him tightly, "Fool, we're husband and wife, what are you thanking me for? If you really want to thank me, give me a kiss." Originally sensational words, said to later become unorthodox again.
Mu Hanzhang heard this and gently pushed him away, "His Majesty just said no thanks." After saying this, he turned around and went to get the account book, completely ignoring Jing Shao who froze in place.
Her own princess, really, is getting worse and worse!
After dining at the royal residence at lunchtime, Jing Shao wandered over to the Ministry of War where he was posted.
The defense of the Xiongnu returned, his brothers are in the six ministries, Hongzheng Emperor let Jing Shao to his favorite Ministry of War to. The eldest prince in the Ministry of Industry is responsible for all construction matters, his brother in the Ministry of Rites is responsible for all major ceremonies, banquets, the fourth prince in the Honglu Temple specializing in tribute matters of the foreign countries, are some of the positions that can do the facts, can make a splash.
And he is in the Ministry of War, said to serve, in fact, there is no real power, just hanging high there, the Ministry of War people do not like a prince in the head of the finger, he used to be very tired of these paperwork, every day to come to swing around to deal with two things on the go.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing this great Buddha arrive, the Minister of Military Affairs was busy greeting him with a smile.
"Lord Sun go and get busy, this king is just here to take point." Jing Shao said with a wave of his hand, walking to his seat and casually picking up a few documents to read.
Sun Shangshu was also used to him being like this, and after a few polite words, he went to busy himself.
Not come for a long time, Jing Shao's desk did not pile up much paperwork. The following news up, urgent Sun Shangshu are dealt with, only some not too urgent will give into the Ministry of War not long Jing Shao processing, so many days he did not come, most Sun Shangshu will be approved for him.
Pick up a booklet on the table, this is the Ministry of War in the preparation of this year's military pay, which has already counted the number of specific food and pay for each garrison. There are also two folders, one of the request to lay off soldiers, that the Huns have been defeated, do not need too many soldiers in recent years; the other reported that the southwest of the Miao border near the invasion of barbarians, please the court to send troops to suppress.
The first one was fine, but this second one looked rather urgent and was also on his desk, suggesting that someone wanted him to come up with an idea as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, this zhangzhi only arrived today, and the situation seems to be more serious than it was at the beginning of the month." Song An, the Minister of War, came over and said.
Jing Shao nodded slightly and began to look through that army payroll.
"As far as I know, this barbarians are nothing more than roving bandits, and only because of the incompetence of the Governor of Yunnan and Tibet, they are losing ground." Song An came closer and whispered, "Your Highness can request to lead troops to hang the bandits, this is a good opportunity to easily make a merit."
Jing Shao looked up, frowning at him. Song An was Song Ling Xin's father, and was considered the closest to Jing Shao in the Ministry of War. It was the same in his last life, when he received the first zhangzhi a month ago, this man advised him to lead the troops to the front. At that time, he was in a bad mood, the fourth day of the wedding on the troops went to war, the just passed the door and is still sick Mu Hanzhang left alone in the royal residence. Now it seems that Song An persuaded him to go to war, not all to let him make a success, most likely to let him cold princess, so as to protect her daughter's position as the head of the family.
"The Governor of Yunnan and Tibet is also not a dry meal, which in this world can be easily obtained military service?" Jing Shao snorted, not counting on continuing to discuss this issue with him.
This expedition to Yunnan and Tibet seems to be an easy errand, in fact, it is not, the southwest side of the environment is complex, these soldiers who are always in the Central Plains are difficult to adapt. Back then, he led his soldiers to go there, but the result was that he suffered a big loss just after he went there, miasma and poisonous insects were all deadly enemies, and he himself almost died there. That so-called small group of roving bandits made him fight for three whole years, not only was he reprimanded by his father, but he also missed the best time to conquer San Fan, a real effort that was not pleasing to the eyes.
Song An smiled sardonically, "I heard that Ling Xin made Your Highness angry today, this daughter has been spoiled by me, Your Highness should not be general with her."
"Humph!" Jing Shao slammed the account book in his hand onto the table with a bang, causing the people around him to look sideways and quickly avoid their gazes, "But it's just a small matter in the inner house, why does Lord Song need to talk about it here." This Song Lingxin is really fast-talking, what happened in the morning was spread to her mother's house after lunch. Thinking about this, his heart became a little tired of it.
Seeing Jing Shao's impatience, Song An accompanied him with a smile and said a few words, then he slipped away.
Sent off the nagging Song An, Jing Shao re-picked up the folders to see, this hard work this time he will never lead, there are these time might as well be at home with his wife, such a good opportunity should be given to the big brother or the fourth emperor brother is.
After hanging out at the Ministry of War for the afternoon, Jing Shao still left early according to the habits of his previous life so as not to attract attention. Hiking to the south of the city to buy some marinated snacks, and to the alley to carry a bottle of plum wine, back to the royal residence just in time for dinner.
"Where is Wangfei?" Back in the East Court bedroom, the meal had already been set up, but there was no sign of Mu Hanzhang.
"Back to Your Highness, the crown princess is still governing in the small study, Mengxi has already gone to invite her." Zhi Ruoxi replied as she helped Jing Shao change.
"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, I'm late." Mu Hanzhang said somewhat apologetically.
Jing Shao frowned and cupped his chin and kissed him, "Let's eat."
Mu Hanzhang stunned for a moment, only to react to the "words politely punished", but now the room is full of subordinates, this person is not even a little bit of consideration! A handsome face quickly red, busy waving his hand to let the maids retreat.
"What are you busy with?" Jing Shao pushed the bought lo mein in front of Mu Hanzhang for him to try, while he himself poured a cup of green plum wine for each of the two.
"Suddenly taking over the affairs of the inner house, there is no need to be a little busy." Mu Hanzhang picked up a piece of marinated chicken wings and took a bite, although he said this, his tone was very confident, Jing Shao heard that he could solve it by himself, so he did not intend to ask.
After dinner, Mu Hanzhang pushed Jing Shao who climbed onto the bed again, "Tonight it's time to go to the West Court side, today's words of the side lady you have heard, if you have been lodging in the East Court, this inner house is afraid to be unsettled."
Jing Shao reluctantly sat up and dragged his own princess, who was babbling non-stop and wanted to push him towards others, onto the bed and pressed her sharply underneath him, "I drank too much tonight, I don't have the strength to move." After saying that, he lay down on his chest and didn't move.
Mu Hanzhang rolled his eyes, someone who can drink two pounds of roasted knives would be intoxicated by a small bottle of plum wine as light as white water? Find a reason to find a reasonable one!
