"He even told you this?" Qi Feng was stunned again, then smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you are the young lady of Prince Jinying's Mansion, and it's understandable to tell you. I'll ask my third sister-in-law to take care of her in the future. Please give me more advice this time."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly, and a cold light flashed through her eyes.

In the palace.

In the imperial garden, the queen was talking to several beauties. The bells and swallows in the yard were all graceful. However, the queen in the main position could not hide her old appearance even in a gorgeous dress.

The crown prince is becoming increasingly unpopular. Although the emperor has not explicitly issued an order to depose the crown prince, the crown prince is not as involved in the major affairs of the court as the eighth prince and the fifth prince. This is enough to make the people who are still watching change their minds. There were originally some neutral people, but now they secretly surrender to the eighth five sect. As for the crown prince, there are not many left. At least everyone in the court knows that the crown prince of the future Dajin Dynasty may not end up on the crown prince. Now, it depends on which of the eighth prince or the fifth prince is more capable.

The person sitting next to the queen was Wang Lian'er and Jiang Dan. Wang Lian'er was wearing pink silk gauze and waist-closing palace clothes, which made her fair skin look like sheep's milk. She was beautiful, but her every move had a kind of gentleness and elegance that could be penetrated into the bones and a faint sense of bookishness. The young lady from the Hanlin family was a veritable talented woman. Now Xie Yujiaohua around the emperor is quite favored.

Jiang Dan was wearing a green dress. When it comes to appearance, she was not as gentle and generous as Wang Lian'er, but she felt a sense of freshness and liveliness. Compared to people like Wang Lian'er, Jiang Dan is quite generous in the palace now, and even the queen can hardly be disgusted with her. She has a naive act, and she is not as good as the servants in the palace, and will not do anything to actively compete for favor. So compared to Wang Lian'er, everyone in the palace likes her. Now she often follows the emperor, occasionally saying something to make the emperor laugh, and the emperor also attaches great importance to it.

But Mu Xirou did not come today. She was always arrogant and indifferent, and never despised to date the palace concubine. Even more so, Concubine Xian. Since Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu were defeated, she has been in the palace with a clean heart and desire all day long. It is precisely because the battle between the fifth prince and the eighth prince has become more intense that she has to retreat even more and not be arrogant because of the favor.

The rest are new beauties of lower grades. Among these beauties, there are also many lively and beautiful people, but now there are only three most favored among the newly added beauties. A faint tiredness floated from the queen and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder."

It was indeed getting colder and colder. As winter began, the daily popularity became a little bigger. Wang Lianer smiled and said, "That's right, but the capital is still quite warm. I heard that the snowflakes of paper have begun to fall on Tianjin State. I think it must be cold."

The queen glanced at Wang Lian'er, and Wang Lian'er's words revealed that the emperor should love her very much, otherwise how could he even tell Wang Lian'er about the border. She immediately became cold and said, "It's true that the soldiers are so cold outside, it's really hard."

"What the Empress said is," Jiang Dan smiled: "The country of Dajin Dynasty depends on these soldiers to guard it. Your Majesty will have a long blessing. Tianjin will definitely win a victory. When the soldiers return to the court, they will definitely be incredible. However, whenever I think of the soldiers working so hard, I am arrogant and extravagant here, and I feel very ashamed. I am willing to donate some silver jewelry, exchange some food and supplies, and transport them to the border together, which is also my own heart."

Hearing Jiang Dan's words, the queen was a little surprised, and then looked at her with appreciation. As the mother of a country, the queen always hoped that the Dajin Dynasty would continue to flourish. Naturally, she also hoped that the battle of Jin State could be fought beautifully. But everyone knew that this was not an easy thing. Now that food and grass are scarce, Jiang Dan took the initiative to say donating some supplies, which was really not easy. As a beauty in the palace, Jiang Dan naturally couldn't donate much.

But once this matter was spread, the beauties in the palace followed suit, and the important officials of the court followed suit, and together they were a considerable amount of supplies. What's more, Jiang Dan instinctively mentioned this matter in front of the emperor, but mentioned it in front of the queen, which showed that she had no intention of competing for favor, and this made the queen feel more at ease. So the queen's expression towards Jiang Dan became even softer: "It's rare that you are interested, I will mention this matter like Your Majesty." Naturally, he was going to praise Jiang Dan.

Jiang Dan smiled: "Thank you, I can't do anything, I can only do my best."

The beauties around him turned their expressions of jealousy or enviousness to Jiang Dan. Wang Lian'er's expression changed slightly, and after a moment, she returned to normal and smiled as if nothing had happened.

After the Empress ordered everyone to disperse, Jiang Dan returned to her yard. The maid Wan'er next to her sent a letter and whispered: "Girl, there is a letter."

Jiang Dan returned to the house and asked the palace maids to go down before opening the letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned at first, then looked down at the sight of ten lines. After putting down the letter, he thought for a while, and suddenly started to laugh slowly.

The baggage troops set out about three days later. Because Jiang Dan took the initiative to donate supplies, the beauties in the palace were not to be outdone. Even the women in the palace were so sensible, so as ministers, they naturally could not avoid the common people. The court had more or less paid a sum of silver, and these silvers were also a large sum of money together. Now the war consumed a large amount of silver in the national treasury and the food was consumed more, which delayed the urgent need for scarcity of food and supplies. The emperor was very happy, and Jiang Dan was more pampered.

Zhang Ji was busy raising food and planning his route every day. This time, the war on Jin State in the same day should not be underestimated, and everything must be foolproof. When the third Japan was about to set off, a news came from the palace that Zhang Ji, the leader of the baggage unit, abused his power and deducted all his military pay, which was more than half of it.

The news was inexplicably reported, but it shocked everyone in the court. If the deduction of military pay was confirmed, no ten heads were enough for Zhang Ji to cut it. But this matter was extraordinary. The emperor immediately ordered someone to stop Zhang Ji and quickly recruit Zhang Ji back to Beijing.

At that time, Zhang Jizheng had just left the city with his baggage troops and the food and wages he transported, but he was not expecting to be taken down by the imperial guards sent by the emperor halfway. This matter immediately spread throughout the court and the country, and almost everyone was in danger.

In a short period of time, the emperor summoned the court officials to investigate their views on this matter. Xuan Li tidied up his collar, his expression as leisurely as ever, and even felt like a spring breeze.
