Chapter 268 From the Mother's Family
Regarding what happened in the capital, Liu Yao chose to hide most of the truth from Jiang Ting. Except for Jiang Yong's transfer to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and his promotion to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he did not mention anything else to her. However, even so, Jiang Ting was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Chiang Yong is a general. Moreover, he also holds the military defense power of tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest. Even if the emperor does not want to let him go back to the northwest and let him support himself, he should stay in the Ministry of War instead of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Originally, Jiang Ting was a little worried that her father was too popular now, which would cause some people's fear and hatred. Now that I have heard about Jiang Yong's transfer, I can't help but feel a little worried.
"What happened in the capital recently? Why did the emperor suddenly transfer his father to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Jiang Ting asked nervously after hearing what Liu Yao said.
Liu Yao didn't expect that she would not like it after hearing the news of Jiang Yong's promotion. Therefore, after seeing her reaction, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He always thought that he knew Jiang Ting well. Although he has been away from the capital for several years, he has never relaxed his attention to her. Before marrying her, the news about Zhenbeihoufu in every tenth Beijing-China secret letter has always been the most detailed. But now, he still feels that he doesn't know her well enough. He didn't expect that she would be so sensitive to things in the court.
"There is nothing special happening." Liu Yao kept a calm smile and said to her, "It seems that the barbarians outside Guan have been a little dishonest recently, so the emperor specially promoted his father-in-law."
Jiang Ting frowned, looked at Liu Yao's flawless expression and squeezed her mouth, and her expression became serious: "If it is because of the affairs of the barbarians outside the customs, the emperor should be promoted to his father's official, should also let him be the secretary of the Ministry of War, instead of transfering his father to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There must be some special reason for this. Liu Yao, is there anything you are hiding from me?
Liu Yao couldn't hide it, but he didn't want her to be too worried at this time, so he had to tell her lightly: "It's because the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice handed over the resignation to sue him, so his father-in-law was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is under the charge of the prince, and it is not surprising that the emperor will make such an arrangement.
Jiang Ting still felt a little confused when she heard it. However, she also saw that Liu Yao didn't want to talk to her more, so she had to swallow her doubts and not mention it. There is only one reason why he doesn't want to tell her, that is, he doesn't want her to worry about it. Since it's his good intentions, she will take care of it.
In fact, Jiang Ting is very knowledgeable about the politics of the court. Since she became the daughter of Houfu, she has never lost her studies in this area. She read the Dibao month by month, and she hasn't missed a period. But after so many years of learning, she still hasn't learned it. Because politics is so curved in her eyes that sometimes she can't understand it at all.
However, even if she doesn't learn it, she hasn't read the mansion newspaper for so many years. Even if she didn't learn how to govern the country as an official. But she also has more or less developed a little vision and can detect the importance of the situation from the changes in the court. And Jiang Yong's inexplicable transfer made her feel very critical. She secretly decided to let someone send a message to Zhao Xi tomorrow and ask him to inquire about the situation in Beijing.
Liu Yao's original intimate plan was stranded because of his wrong prediction of the situation. Jiang Ting has been worried in her heart, and there is no desire to play intimate with him. On the grounds that he was too tired and exhausted these days, he begged him softly. Liu Yao had no choice but to stop thinking and rub her temples to help her fall asleep. The regret in his heart can't be said.
By the way, who let him say it quickly? If I had known, I would have done it before. He has been fainting for almost half a month. Today, he finally woke up in a comfortable mood. He held his lovely little wife in his arms, but he was so hard that he couldn't vent his desire. This is called self-shou shou shou.
I was speechless all night, and the next day was still busy. Fortunately, Jiang Ting is the master, using her brain and mouth. She is a subordinate to do things. She doesn't have to toss back and forth. But even so, after two days, she still couldn't stand it.
After all, the previous abortion has hurt the foundation of her body, and Jiang Ting has not fully recovered. She also has the intention to show her face and stand up for help Liu Yao in this matter. Therefore, although she was quite resentful of Ye, she was careful about her funeral and did not dare to be careless.
Although the two brothers of Liu Xu and Liu Xi were a little depressed because of Ye's disgraceful death, even their wives and children became very silent. But about Ye's matter, King Jing issued a sealing order. Except for a few people they know, no one else knows about it yet. Jiang Ting felt that since King Jing did not make this matter public in front of all the family members of Jingwang's mansion, and disqualified Liu Xu and Liu Xi's two brothers to inherit the throne, and even let the Ye family be buried, it shows that his attitude is still very ambiguous. Therefore, she and Liu Yao can't take this fashion lightly.
Jiang Ting has seen the bias of her father-in-law. She felt that she should work harder and take control of the inner courtyard of King Jing's Mansion earlier. Ye died, and now she is the well-known hostess of King Jing's mansion. But King Jing did not give her the key and account book of the housekeeper, which made her a little worried. However, she knew very well that as long as the funeral ended perfectly, the key to the house would definitely fall into her hands. She didn't believe that King Jing would pass her so brazenly and hand over the key to others.
Unfortunately, she thinks very well, but her body doesn't cooperate very well. Just handling Ye's funeral is enough for her to work hard. After listening to Liu Yao's half of the news, she was worried about the situation of her father in the capital. With such a thoughtful situation, she can still hold out well now.
"Princess, why don't you go back and have a rest." Chuntao looked at Jiang Ting's pale and snow-like face with heartache and said, "It will be noon soon, and there is nothing here. There are M Mothers watching here, and there can't be any trouble. You'd better go back and lie down for a while.
What Chuntao didn't say was that the one lying in the coffin was not the serious mother-in-law of the imperial concubine. Does the concubine need to work so hard for her? Moreover, the child in the belly of the imperial concubine may have been caused by the snake and scorpion woman. It's good to have a coffin buried for her. Now she is still so tired that the imperial concubine is so weak, which is really a disaster!
Xia He held Jiang Ting's other side and was completely the same as Chuntao at this moment. However, she has always been a stuffy gourd, but she held Jiang Ting's hand tightly and let her master lean on her side so that she could stand lightly.
Why doesn't Jiang Ting want to go back to rest? But there is no reason to worship ninety-nine, but this one is the only one who doesn't bow. Ye is a side concubine, not a concubine. Even if King Jing ordered a grand funeral, her funeral ceremony would be regulated for only five days in total. Today is the fourth day, and she will be buried one day. There is no reason why she won't hold on. Anyway, tomorrow is basically their man's business, and she will cry in the mourning hall. They are the royal palace, not the wild people in the countryside. She doesn't have to appear at all when she goes to the cemetery for burial. At that time, why can't she rest?
But Jiang Ting is stubborn, and it's useless if her body doesn't cooperate. She can't kneel on the ground and pretend to cry like a village woman. She is the concubine of the world, and she must have manners even if she kneels. But she can't stand anymore, let alone kneel.
The hatred in Jiang Ting's heart. She hates her physical failure, and even more hates Ye, the culprit who killed her. If Ye hadn't miscarried her, even if she dragged her pregnant body, she would be stronger than now!
Just as she was very entangled, the housekeeper suddenly entered the mourning hall and came to her to salute: "The princess, the uncle of the in-laws in the capital has arrived."
Jiang Ting was stunned when she heard this. "In-laws in the capital" naturally refer to the Marquis of Zhenbei. But who is this "little uncle"? Is it... Jiang Cheng?
Jiang Ting was shocked and saw a five or six-year-old young man in dark blue formal clothes walking solemnly into the mourning hall.
