Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters gift
Because it is of great importance, Song Mo asked Lu Ming to go to Liaodong in person.
Lu Ming was shocked by this, and after a while, he came to his senses and left silently.
Song Mo stood alone in the study for a long time and called Wuyi in: "I have opened the warehouse, I want to pick a few items to give to others."
The warehouse suddenly turned brightly on.
Song Mo picked and chose for a while, and asked Wu Yi to go to Dou Zhao with a few things.
When Dou Zhao saw that he was holding a box of gold-drawing fans, a pot throwing pot, and several sets of tangrams, he said strangely: "Is this?"
Song Mo said calmly: "You have taken the time to enter the palace these two days and give the things to the Crown Princess."
If it is given to the Crown Princess, it would be just right.
Dou Zhao hesitated and said, "Are you planning to get along with the prince?"
"No!" Song Mo smiled, "I'm going to alert the enemy!"
Dou Zhao was puzzled.
Song Mo whispered: "I originally wanted to be in the middle of the Liao King and the Crown Prince - no matter who ascended the throne, would he still be able to lose the salary of the British Duke's Mansion? But now, it is difficult to relieve my hatred if the queen and the Liao King are not allowed to be different from each other!
"At this time, we surrender to His Highness the Crown Prince, and we have no achievements, so it is difficult to become His Highness the Crown Prince's confidant. It is better to wait until the Liao King starts the matter and help His Highness capture and plot rebellion. This is the great achievement of winning a wife and a son.
"The fifth uncle and the cousins of the Jiang family are still in the hands of the King of Liao. We cannot turn against the queen at this time. Moreover, I believe that the fifth uncle knows who flatters the Jiang family and can help the Liao king succeed. Instead of letting the fifth uncle and the Liao king turn against each other, it is better to let the fifth uncle and the Liao king make a fuss and be an internal support at the critical moment. His Royal Highness ascends the throne, which can not only wash away the injustice of the Jiang family, but also make achievements and revitalize the Jiang family's reputation.
"I thought about it carefully. The emperor is still alive and the prince is justified. The King of Liao cannot attack Kyoto in a noble way. In this way, even if he succeeds and the world does not return, it will be difficult for him to hold the throne. If he wants to achieve his goal, he can only pass the palace transformation. But if he wants to change the palace, he cannot bypass the Jinwu Guard.
"We are close to His Royal Highness and are unwilling to surrender to the King of Liao. How can the Queen tolerate me taking charge of the Jinwu Guard? The Emperor has always trusted the Emperor. If the Queen wants to deal with us, we can say that we are unable to guard against us. Since that is the case, we might as well take the initiative and let the Queen take action first. The Emperor has been ill in recent years and has not been energetic. Usually, people with poor energy like quietness and not moving. As long as the Emperor believes that I am the best person in charge of the Jinwu Guard, no matter how the Queen makes trouble, she will not be able to move me at all. Maybe her movements are too big and will arouse the Emperor's suspicion.
"As long as the Jinwu Guard is in my hands, the Liao King will never hide the rebellion from my eyes."
Dou Zhao smiled and said, "So you asked me to give gifts to the Crown Princess, so that the queen thought we wanted to flatter His Highness the Crown Prince. This aroused her anxiety and took action against you first. In this way, I have to go to the East Palace to sit often in the future."
"No," Song Mo smiled slightly, and he knew that his wife was the one who knew him the most. "It would be better to bring Dong Ge'er with him. The prince ascended the throne. Dong Ge'er became familiar with the emperor and grandchildren, and there would always be benefits."
Dou Zhao nodded with a smile and handed a post to the palace the next day.
For nobles like the British Duke's Mansion, the prince and his wife are naturally happy to get close to each other.
On the third day, an eunuch from the Eastern Palace brought Dou Zhao and his son into the palace.
The Crown Princess was a little surprised when she received the gift from Dou Zhao, but she liked it more.
A box of gold-drawing fans is not rare, but the fan is full of December, the peonies in spring, lotus flowers in summer, golden chrysanthemums in wax sky, and cold plums in winter... they are all empty, and the colors on the pile of yarn are very exquisite and unique.
The pot was thrown without gold or wood, and it was impossible to tell what the material was. The pot was carved with a circle of beautiful women in deep clothes, with beautiful shapes and simple styles. It was obvious that it was an antique from the previous dynasty.
Several sets of tangrams are made of sandalwood and agarwood. When you hold them, the faint fragrance floats, making people feel at ease.
"It's worrying." The Crown Princess smiled and asked the female officials around her to accept the gift.
Dou Zhao said respectfully: "I have always been supported by your care and cannot be rewarded. Just be able to pass your eyes."
"You don't have to be polite to me." The Crown Princess greeted Dou Zhao, and asked someone to bring the Third Emperor's Grandson to come over, and asked the Third Emperor's Grandson and Yuan Ge'er to play on the big kang in the East Hall, while she talked with Dou Zhao in the warm pavilion.
From the weather this spring to the hair accessories and clothes that may be popular, they are all essential skills for ladies. The Crown Princess was very interested. Dou Zhao, who was a man of two lives, had "foresight". The two became more and more speculative. Finally, Dou Zhao drew a few clothes styles before holding Yuan Ge'er to say goodbye.
The Crown Princess asked the needlework to make two clothes according to the needlework. The Empress Dowager looked at it and praised her.
She is a smart person. Since Dou Zhao is close to her, she will naturally follow the wood and praise Dou Zhao.
The Crown Princess praised Dou Zhao very much.
The Empress Dowager thought that it was Queen Wan’s birthday in a few days, and said with a smile: “Let her come to the palace and cut two clothes for me.” After saying that, she thought that Dou Zhao was the superb wife of the prince, so she could not be an embroiderer for anyone, and she said with a disheartening voice: “Forget it, let the needle master do it for me.”
In order to avoid suspicion, the British Duke's Mansion and the Eastern Palace were both indifferent. If it weren't for the birth dates of Yuan Ge'er and the Third Emperor's Grandson, the emperor personally named the two children, and they would not dare to walk around. But the Crown Princess thought that Dou Zhao was a very knowledgeable person, so she would not care about these things, so she sent a message to Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao immediately entered the palace and helped the Empress Dowager design several clothes.
The Empress Dowager ordered the female official to pass the drawing to the needle station, and took her hand and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Dou Zhao said respectfully: "I dare not take this from you. You wait for our princess to be like an elder. I can be filial to you on behalf of our princess. It is the honor of our princess and concubines, so it can be called hard work."
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with her answer. She not only praised Dou Zhao's two hairpins filled with red gold and Hetian jade, but also praised Song Mo's two inkstones and Yuan Ge'er's several rulers.
On the day of the empress's birthday, the empress dowager's royal blue and pink dress made her radiant and elegant, and the crown princess was deliberately used as a foil. The empress dowager's glory overcame the empress who celebrated her birthday.
The emperor had no feelings about these things, and the Empress couldn't help but be a little surprised. She sent someone to inquire and knew that Dou Zhao helped the Empress Dowager cut clothes. She just smiled lightly and said, "This Dou family didn't expect that they have this ability."
The Crown Princess thought that the birthday of the Empress Dowager would be the birthday of the Empress Dowager, so she encouraged the Empress Dowager to make clothes with the same body. When the Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager, she was respectful and virtuous when she was the queen. She never dared to dress too beautifully. Now no one was in charge. The long night in the palace was lonely. The Empress Dowager suddenly became interested and called Dou Zhao to enter the palace every now and then. Later, she learned that Dou Zhao personally lacted Yuan Ge'er, so she asked her to bring Yuan Ge'er with her when she entered the palace and said, "It's just right for me."
The Third Emperor's Grandson is a companion." The Crown Princess took the Third Emperor's Grandson to play to Cining Palace to help the Empress Dowager out ideas. On several occasions, they met the emperor who came to greet the Empress Dowager. The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager laughing and laughing. The sound of the child was filled with warm and lively, and the Empress Dowager's complexion was much better than before. He was very happy and teased Yuan Ge'er and played with the Third Emperor's Grandson for a while before he let the eunuch carry the person down.
It is more convenient to enter the palace from Dou Zhao.
The Crown Princess and Dou Zhao also got closer.
The queen did not take this seriously. Dou Zhao, who occasionally came to the palace, would pull her to speak affectionately.
Dou Zhao smiled at Song Mo and said, "The queen is much more generous than you think, your plan is ineffective."
Song Mo disagreed. He said, "If you can see the queen's emotions, can she still be in the palace?"
Dou Zhao was right when he thought about it and smiled with a pursed lips.
Lu Ming returned from Liaodong.
Song Mo went to meet Lu Ming.
A few days later, Mrs. Jiang from Haozhou spoke: "It's not that the prince is unwilling to return the things left by the master to the Jiang family. But when the master handed these things to the prince, he said that all things in the world can be obtained by virtue. Mr. Jiang Wu is not the one who supports the party. Even if the prince returns the things to Mr. Jiang Wu, it's just that he has been squandered by Mr. Jiang Wu, so it's better to leave them to the prince."
Song Mo also spoke. He said, "I am not trying to occupy the things left by my uncle. It is because the Jiang family only keeps women and children, and there is no one to take charge of the overall situation. Now I am just keeping these things for the Jiang family. When the descendants of the Jiang family grow up, they will naturally have to return them."
Jiang Bosun’s old accounts were revealed.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh as "prodigal son" and was quite disdainful of Jiang Bosun and Song Mo's dispute over property.
Dou Zhao asked Song Mo: "Are you forcing the queen to do it?"
Song Mo blinked at her and said, "It's more than that."
Not long after they said this, they welcomed the birthday of the Empress Dowager.
The whole court came to congratulate.
The Duke of England was invited to attend a family dinner at the Cining Palace.
Miao Ruosu was very nervous, while Song Han was a little angry.
Also a son of the British Duke, Song Mo entered the palace as if he was walking on flat ground, but he was as difficult as he ascended to the sky. Not only that, along the way, no one greeted Song Yichun, Song Mo or even Dou Zhao. There were very few people who looked at them at first sight. The couple looked like Song Yichun and Song Mo's servants, especially when Gu Yu appeared, his emotions reached their peak.
Gu Yu didn't even look at the prince's face, so how could he look at Song Han's face?
He ignored Song Mo and muttered excitedly: "I sold two more big ships out. Do you want to take the time to go to the dock in Tianjin? The weather is just right these days, so you can take your sister-in-law and Brother Yuan with you."
Song Mo was a little moved, thought for a while, and said, "I still won't go." Then he looked left and right and whispered, "I've been checking my uncle's death these days, and I can't get out of here."
"Oh!" Gu Yu was a little disappointed.
The queen didn't see Gu Yu for some time, so she hurriedly called Gu Yu and said angrily: "You are still in the dock in Tianjin these days? Is it so fun to do business? I think you should do something seriously! If you are really interesting, go to Liaodong to play with your cousin." Then, "You have to leave the matter in your hand to Yantang for the matter."
Gu Yu didn't make a sound.
The death of Duke Ding is a taboo. Song Mo's investigation of Duke Ding will only make the emperor and the queen unhappy, so he decided to remain silent. (To be continued)
