"Niang niang, what does Concubine Lu mean?" Hong Ling changed Ye Zhen's cup of tea. Why did she listen to Lu Jing's words? It seemed that she was not thinking about the Empress.
"Don't you know what she means?" Ye Rou chuckled. Lu Jing was obviously thinking for her, but couldn't she tell what her real purpose was? She just didn't want to expose her thoughts and let her play it to her heart's content.
Hong Ling said, "She even said that she is Her Ladyship's younger sister. If she truly had Her Ladyship's best interests in mind, why would she say such things to make you feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Rou chuckled. "No matter what she says, she can't make me feel bad."
She did not care about Lu Jing at all. As for the shizi position that she mentioned, there was nothing to say. She was the empress and had no right to decide who to appoint as shizi. Even if she could influence Mo Rongzhan's decision, she would not do such a thing.
"Niang niang, do you want to see those beauties?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice.
The corner of Ye Zhen's mouth twitched slightly. "What's the use of seeing it now? Won't we be able to see it in the future? Where's Jianjia? Go and call her. I have something to give her to do."
"Yes, niang niang." Hong Ling replied with a smile. "I wonder when Xiao Qi will enter the palace."
"Today, let Hong Ying go out of the palace to bring it into the palace." Ye Zhen's eyes were full of smiles. Mo Rongzhan had promised her to bring Little Seven to the palace, so as not to fight with the black dragon at home.
Black Dragon was the name of Ye Chunnan's black leopard. It was said that it was as fast as a dragon, so it was named Black Dragon.
Jianjia soon came in, "Niang niang."
Ye Zhen looked at her and said with a smile, "Jianjia, you are not originally a servant in the palace. Letting you stay by my side as a palace maid, I always feel that it is a waste of talent to let you stay by my side as a palace maid."
"Your Highness, I don't feel wronged. Did I do something wrong that made Your Highness angry?" Jianjia hurriedly said, thinking that she had done something wrong. She didn't want to be a palace maid, but she was the descendant of a sinner. Even if she could live more freely in the military camp, since the Emperor asked her to serve the Empress, she was naturally sincere and conscientious. She didn't dare to do anything wrong.
"I'm not being polite with you. You are very good, so I don't think you should stay in the palace." Ye Zhen said, "I want you to work for me outside the palace."
Jian Jia looked at Ye Zhen in surprise, "Niang niang, what do you mean?"
"Hong Ling once helped me manage the Thousand Gold Shop. I am very clear about her abilities. You have good skills. There are some things that Hong Ling can't do, but you can. I want the two of you to work outside the palace in the future. You must report to me about the situation of the clinic." Ye Zhen said, "Although there are still female officials outside the palace, there are always exceptions to everything. I have also asked the Emperor, and he will let you work in the clinic as a female official."
"Niang niang, who will serve you?" Hong Ling asked hurriedly. She often stayed by Ye Zhen's side and knew how important the clinic was. But if she and Jianjia both went out of the palace, wouldn't there be two less people to serve the Empress?
"Don't we still have Hong Ying and Dai Mei?" Ye Zhen laughed. "Besides, there will be new palace maids selected soon. At that time, we can choose a few useful ones and let Hong Ying train them." "That's right.
Hong Ling said, "But …"
"No buts. This consort only trusts you two. The initial establishment of the medical clinic is too important. This consort cannot allow anything to happen to the clinic. Doing things outside is much more difficult than doing things in the palace. Other than you two, this consort doesn't know who else I can rely on. When the time comes, this consort will find another helper for you two." Ye Zhen whispered. Only the two women, Jianjia and Hong Ling, were not too reliable. There must be a man who was good at handling things.
But who could she look for? Ye Zhen suddenly thought of Hou Peidong.
Hou Peidong's archery skills were excellent, but that was only for hunting. It was impossible for him to go on the battlefield. However, he was talented and had a good relationship with people in the capital. Although he was the Crown Prince, he did not have any official duties. If he was willing, he would be the best candidate.
"We will definitely do a good job for the Empress outside the palace." Hong Ling and Jianjia looked at each other. They couldn't convince the Empress, so they could only work for her outside the palace in the future.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "In two days, we will go out of the palace and have a look. First, we will choose the location of the clinic. It's best not to rebuild it. It's best to have a ready-made shop."
"Yes, Empress."
The matter was settled, but she still wanted to ask Hou Peidong's opinion on whether he was willing to be the manager of the clinic.
Palace of Heavenly Purity, Council Hall.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by the Prince of Xiliang." Tang Zhen handed a letter to Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan took a look at it and asked faintly, "How does the Prince of Xiliang know that Wanyan Xi is in the Jin Kingdom?"
"The messenger said that it was calculated by the Witch King. However, in my opinion, I am afraid that someone leaked the news back." Tang Zhen whispered, "Could it be the killer we met in the mountains last time?"
"Perhaps." Mo Rongzhan remembered the woman he met in the mountains. Even if others did not recognize his identity, Qianxue, who used to be a palace maid, must know who he was. It was probably she who sent the news to Xiliang.
Xu Lao asked, "Your Majesty, is the Prince of Xiliang really in the Jin Kingdom?"
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "I saved him in Chengde Villa and left him in Chengde."
"Your Majesty, are we going to send Wanyan Xi back to Xiliang?" Tang Zhen asked again. The Prince of Xiliang had sent a messenger. If they did not hand over Wanyan Xi, it would be difficult to explain.
"If we don't hand over the Prince, I am afraid that the Prince of Xiliang will not let it go." Huo Shan, the Minister of War, said.
Ye Chunnan glanced at Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty, it seems inappropriate to hand over Wanyan Xi."
"What's inappropriate?" Huo Shan looked at Ye Chunnan and frowned, "General Ye, aren't you afraid of making a feud with Xiliang?"
"Even without Wanyan Xi, the Jin Kingdom and Xiliang are not friendly allies." Ye Chunnan said lightly. He had wanted to fight Xiliang for a long time.
Huo Shan laughed, "General Ye, it is Xiliang that has a grudge with Dongqing, not with the Jin Kingdom. Don't get it wrong."
Ye Chunnan glanced at him faintly and did not speak. It would be a waste of energy to say anything.
"The Prince of Xiliang means that if I don't hand over Wanyan Xi, he will not be polite!" Mo Rongzhan waved the letter in his hand, "Prime Minister Xu, come and reply to the Prince of Xiliang. Tell him that if he hands over the Witch King and Lu Lingzhi to me, then I will send Wanyan Xi back."
"Your Majesty!" The others were shocked. It was obvious that he wanted to be the enemy of the Prince of Xiliang.
"Lu Lingzhi, Your Majesty, why is Lu Lingzhi in Xiliang?" Tang Zhen was even more surprised about Lu Lingzhi.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were slightly cold, "Then we have to ask the Witch King of Xiliang."
