For the time being, no one knew if someone was behind Jingwan's marriage. However, there was one thing that made things difficult for some people, and that was the Minister of Personnel, Luo Peishan, started to flip out. Relying on the various unknown things obtained from Li Hongyuan, he defeated the important officials in the Ministry of Personnel one by one. It was fine if they did not cooperate with him. He directly sent a memorial to Le Chengdi to deal with them. Two or three of the important officials in the Ministry of Personnel were removed from their positions. As for the subordinates, he directly fired a group of them. No matter who they were, no matter what their background was, he was ruthless and merciless. In short, he had reason and evidence for his actions.
It was also at this time that everyone realized that they had underestimated this Lord Luo from afar.
Some people wanted to rope him in even when they were in a bad mood.
However, at this time, Lord Luo seemed to be a little stubborn. He seemed to have the intention to be more neutral than before. Compared to Ruan Ruizhong, who was smooth and slick in dealing with people, he did not give face to anyone and completely offended them.
However, although they hated him to the core, many people were very grateful to him. This was because he did not shy away from recommending people of talent. After careful review from many parties, he was willing to recommend those who were truly capable to Le Chengdi, regardless of which faction they belonged to.
It must be said that the Emperor liked such officials the most. Le Chengdi was no exception. Therefore, with a wave of his hand, many of the people recommended by Luo Peishan were transferred to positions more suitable for them. Although the proportion of direct promotion was not very high, they could naturally perform better in their areas of expertise. This obviously meant that they would have better opportunities.
However, was Luo Peishan really not selfish at all? Haha, how was that possible? In fact, although the positions of the transferred people did not seem to be high, all of them were below Level Four, and they were not limited to the capital, but the prefectures and manors of the Qi Yuan Dynasty. However, in fact, half of these people were arranged by Li Hongyuan. Although the positions assigned to them were not high, they were very important. As long as they were given three to five years, they would be further promoted and could even choke the throats of the various regions. In addition, after careful investigation, none of the toads who went to the Luo Family to propose marriage were allowed to have a place for their close relatives. Some of them had problems and were directly stepped down by Luo Peishan without mercy. All four families had a share. No one was left out.
In fact, few people in the officialdom were stupid. After sorting out the relationships among them, they would find some clues.
Oh, very good. Lord Luo cared about his family and loved his granddaughter. He would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
The four families regretted it very much. Even their close relatives and friends resented it. Especially Naxihuai, who was not talented enough, had been wasting his time in his original position. When he saw the opportunity, he was full of enthusiasm and was ready to do something big after being transferred or promoted. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not even have his name on the list submitted by Luo Shangshu to the Emperor. The reason was that a "family member" had humiliated his granddaughter.
You couldn't even reason with him about this kind of thing.
Because Luo Peishan's move was too ruthless and the effect was too obvious, some people began to be tempted again. However, they did not act immediately. Because in this big change of officials, almost no one close to the Luo family was involved, not even a son or son-in-law. It was unknown whether it was because he wanted to avoid relatives, or whether he thought that his son or son-in-law did not have the ability or did not need to be changed for the time being.
At this time, they had to consider carefully. If they really wanted to use marriage to climb up the Luo family, then they had to show enough sincerity. And the children and grandchildren used for marriage must also be good enough. If they dared to come up with a marriage proposal, then they would really hate you to death and might even secretly trample you to death.
They realized that the status of the Luo family's grandchildren might not be measured by their father's generation. As long as Luo Peishan stayed in his current position, even if it was only for a few years, as long as he supported them, they would be greatly improved. Especially when there was a rumor that Luo Peishan valued his grandchildren and doted on the Third Young Lady the most, the importance of the third generation of the Luo family immediately rose by a lot. Their value was compared to that of Luo Peishan's children. As long as they were ten years old and had no marriage contract, each and every one of them became a delicious cake.
At the beginning of Luo Peishan's promotion, the awkward situation of being in an awkward position, being pushed aside by all parties, and faintly being a mere figurehead, was smashed to pieces. At the beginning, there were few visitors, but in a short period of time, there was an endless stream of visitors.
Every day, there were people coming to greet and send off. As the daughter-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law could not accept any of them.
At this time, Madame Luo also pulled Sun Yijia, her granddaughter-in-law, out. Now that these people were trying to curry favor and flatter the Luo family, it was not difficult for Sun Yijia to entertain them. The other young ladies of similar age were also pulled out one by one. However, outside of the restricted Luo Jingying, Jingwan still did not show up.
The women were busy, but the men and young masters were not idle either. Every day, there were people trying to curry favor with them.
However, even so, no one was stupid enough to directly ask a matchmaker to propose marriage.
In fact, regarding the marriage of the grandchildren, other than Jingwan's, Madame Luo did not want to interfere with any of them. Jingwan seemed to be the one with the most difficult marriage, but in fact, she had already been settled. This was because Madame Luo was always indifferent about the marriage of the grandchildren. Whenever it was mentioned, she would directly throw it to their respective parents. She did not care. "Third Young Lady? Yue Lao probably hasn't matchmade her yet. " This meant that she was not going to mention Jingwan's marriage for the time being. No matter who wanted to marry Jingwan, Madame Luo's attitude was always like this.
Everyone sighed silently in their hearts. It seemed that this most beloved young lady of the Luo family could forget about it. As for Jingwan's bad reputation, many people were still aware of the tricks behind it.
Although Luo Jingying was the legitimate daughter of Lord Luo's concubine-born son, he had been able to teach the son of a concubine-born concubine-born son. In addition, he valued the granddaughters of his concubine-born son so much, so he probably treated his granddaughter well. Moreover, many of them knew that Luo Jingying was good-looking, talented, and perhaps a little vain, but that was not a big problem.
Therefore, this fourth young lady of the Luo family, who was only a day younger than Jingwan, was also on the minds of many people. After all, if she was slightly older, she would be able to marry into the family in at most one or two years. If she dragged on for a few more years, who knew what Luo Peishan would do.
However, after several contacts with Madame Liu, basically no one mentioned her anymore. She was a person with a loftier heart than the sky.
It had to be said that the Liu matriarch was not feeling well either. In fact, given the current situation, it would have been a good choice for Luo Jingying to marry into a better family. The Liu matriarch's heart was delusional, but she still had reason and lived in reality. However, the prerequisite was that her daughter was still a virgin. Unfortunately … As such, she could only 'remain aloof' until the end. She would be ridiculed openly and covertly, saying things like 'be careful that your heart is higher than the sky but your life is thinner than paper'. She could only listen and endure, waiting to see if Prince Rui would make a move.
Regarding this matter, Luo Rongping had actually looked for Li Hongming and hinted that he already knew that Prince Rui had taken his daughter's virginity. He hoped that he could come up with a plan. However, Li Hongming was a person who would not act until he saw the hare. In any case, Luo Jingying was already his person. Luo Rongping, this chess piece, could not escape even if he wanted to. For the time being, he sat firmly on the fishing platform. If Luo Rongping did not show some sincerity, he would make a move. To put it bluntly, he was forcing Luo Rongping to hand over a proof of his allegiance.
Because Li Hongming worked in the Ministry of Appointments, he was the one who had the deepest understanding of Luo Peishan's actions among his brothers. He had spent so much time in the Ministry of Appointments, but he was still far from Luo Peishan's achievements in such a short period of time. He did not know how Luo Peishan did it, but one thing was for sure: he was very frustrated. At the same time, he wanted to win over Luo Peishan even more.
However, the proof of his allegiance that Li Hongming wanted soon appeared.
After all, Luo Peishan's sudden rise made the calm Empress somewhat unable to sit still. It was completely out of her control. At this time, she hated her sister-in-law even more. She was unable to accomplish anything, but was good at spoiling things. She had offended the Luo family so much. Fortunately, Sun Yijia was not implicated in the Luo family's anger. Instead, she summoned Prince Kang to "properly" teach her a lesson. At this time, Prince Kang naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. He calmed down the anger in his heart and did his best to put down his pride. He looked for Sun Yilin and tried to win over Luo Jingbo. He also knew that Luo Peishan's third son had always been loyal to him. This way, he could give him some benefits.
At the same time, the Empress summoned Sun Yijia to the palace on the pretext that she had not seen Sun Yijia for a long time.
Sun Yijia did not enter the palace to see the Empress. After her disfigurement, the Empress had actually summoned her once. When she saw her current makeup, she was surprised and pleased. In fact, Sun Yijia knew very well why the Empress wanted to see her. Therefore, she only said that the makeup was done by Luo Jingbo and did not say anything else.
The Empress praised Luo Jingbo and then changed the topic to Jingwan.
When Sun Yijia was about to leave, the Empress said that she wanted to see Jingwan.
Sun Yijia was not stupid. She faintly felt that the Empress's aunt seemed to want Prince Kang to marry Jingwan. When she left the palace, she could not help but clench her fists. Her eyes were full of gloominess. It was easy to refuse other people, but was it easy to refuse the Empress? She now hoped that Prince Rui and the others could delay the Empress's idea.
Sun Yijia did not know that the Empress's idea was just to "bring up the past".
After returning to the Luo family, Sun Yijia immediately went to find Old Madam Luo. She repeated to Old Madam Luo what the Empress said to her and told her about her guess.
"You're a good child. Live well with Jingbo. Don't think too much about other things." Old Madam Luo was giving Sun Yijia real reassurance.
Sun Yijia only felt bitterness in her heart. "Thank you, grandmother."
Old Madam Luo smiled and did not say anything about it. "Since the Empress wants to see Wan Wan, you can bring her to the palace tomorrow. Do what you need to do. We will handle the rest."
Jingwan appeared to be quite indifferent about going to the palace to see the Empress.
Sun Yijia really admired her attitude. Other than her, she had not seen it in anyone else of the same age.
After a while. However, she asked, "Sister Wan, what have you been doing recently? Why do I feel that you have been so mysterious these days?"
"I didn't do anything." Jing Wan smiled innocently.
It would be strange if Sun Yijia believed her.
When the Empress saw Jingwan, she did not say anything. She just amiably expressed her love for Jingwan. She was just short of pulling Jingwan and calling her "daughter-in-law". Sun Yijia lowered her eyes and listened attentively. Once again, she admired Jingwan for being able to deal with the Empress with a sweet smile at this time. She did not make any mistakes. She was even the butt of gossip in the tribe.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that it was a happy and lucky thing to have Sister Wan's "poisonous mouth". It turned out that if Sister Wan really wanted to deal with someone, she could also do a very good job.
The Empress did not keep Jingwan for too long. Before she left, she rewarded Jingwan with a lot of good things. Of course, as her niece, Sun Yijia did not leave her behind.
Jingwan accepted it very calmly and did not even refuse.
As soon as she left Kunyi Palace, she immediately met people from Jade Essence Palace. Noble Consort Su invited her.
Sun Yijia saw Jingwan's natural expression and thought of what Madame Luo said yesterday. Everything was probably within her expectations.
Although Noble Consort Su did not have a son to marry, her attitude towards Jingwan was very good. She treated Jingwan as if she was the younger generation of her maternal family. She was especially intimate and did not leave Sun Yijia behind. Sun Yijia had known for a long time that Noble Consort Su was very good at dealing with people. Today was another confirmation.
However, other than these, Noble Consort Su also talked to Jingwan about skincare. She praised Jingwan's tender skin and did not hide her envy. She also mentioned the secret skincare recipe and wondered when she would be able to get it. On this point, Noble Consort Su was very straightforward and did not beat around the bush.
"Rouge Pavilion has already produced the finished product. It should be sent to the palace soon," Jingwan said truthfully.
"Are you serious? That's really great. "
Noble Consort Su could be said to be harmless to the extreme.
Ordinary girls would easily have a good impression of her. Unfortunately, Jingwan was never an ordinary girl.
Noble Consort Su also gave her a reward. Moreover, it was not too much and not too little. It was probably just a little better than the empress's.
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other. If someone said that Noble Consort Su did not know what the empress had given her, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death. However, the reward for the two of them was personally brought by the empress's aunt. After receiving it, it was tightly placed in a box. Noble Consort Su clearly knew what it was in the blink of an eye.
This harem was really not a good place. Any small matter was full of competition, and there was also the ubiquitous surveillance.
Originally, they thought that they should be able to leave the palace, but in the end, they were greeted by people from Sweet Dew Palace.
Jingwan expressed her surprise. Noble Consort Qin had always been very low-key. Why would she get involved today?
However, since she was invited, she would just go.
When Noble Consort Su heard that the two of them went to Sweet Dew Palace, she did not say anything. She was still thinking about Jingwan's words and actions. "She's really not a simple girl." Originally, to be able to make Noble Consort Su, who was the most favored in the harem, express envy, she should at least be a little smug. However, from the beginning to the end, she was very calm.
Noble Consort Qin did not appear to be so intimate. However, in Jingwan's view, she was the easiest to get along with among the three of them. There was a faint sense of peace. However, in this harem, to be able to occupy a place in the harem without a son and to have an unshakable position, naturally, she was not harmless.
However, Jingwan felt that Noble Consort Qin's eyes did not seem to be trying to win her over. It was more like she was sizing her up with some deep meaning. After that, she seemed to feel that it was not bad. It felt a little strange.
Jingwan could not figure out the reason for Noble Consort Qin's reaction at all. However, since she could not figure it out, she did not think about it.
The reward that Noble Consort Qin gave in the end was only slightly inferior to the empress's.
Did this mean that the Kunyi Palace was like a sieve, full of loopholes?
No, it could not be. The empress was not that stupid. Either she deliberately revealed it, or she deliberately kept the spies in the other harem. Jingwan felt that the latter was more likely. After all, as long as she was aware of other people's spies, it did not matter if they revealed some insignificant things. At the critical moment, they might play an unexpected role.
However, after the two of them left, Noble Consort Qin murmured something that no one heard — Good taste.
When the palace servants led them out of the palace, Jingwan and the rest met someone.
Sun Yijia was stunned and did not know how to react for a moment.
However, Jingwan did not avoid it and squatted down.
Sun Yilin returned the greeting from afar and then fixed his gaze on Jingwan. He did not have any intention to go forward. He only heard that she was summoned into the palace by his aunt. Outside the palace, he could not see her at all. However, he wanted to know if she was well, if she was disturbed by the recent rumors. Therefore, he found an excuse to come out. And now, she seemed to be doing well, so he was relieved. Ignoring the waves of pain in his heart, Sun Yilin turned and left.
Sun Yijia saw her closest brother like this and was especially distressed. However, there were some things that could not be helped. She hoped that Fifth Brother would be able to walk out of this emotional wound as soon as possible. She naturally did not know that Sun Yilin had already told their mother that he would "never marry for life".
Just as Sun Yilin left, Jin Qinwang Li Hongyuan was welcomed.
Li Hongyuan's gaze retracted from Sun Yilin's departing figure and looked at Jingwan and the rest. Or rather, he looked at Jingwan. His gaze was heavy and somewhat sinister.
"Greetings to Wangye."
After several breaths, they heard the two words "dispense with the formalities".
Sun Yijia's heartbeat was somewhat fast. Because of the gaze that Li Hongyuan looked at Sun Yilin, she felt that her brother was being stared at by a wild beast. However, what reason did Jin Qinwang have to stare at her brother? Could it be that Jin Qinwang really took a fancy to her brother? It shouldn't be, right? But if that was the case, that gaze was a bit too fierce. Other than that, she could not think of any other reason.
Jingwan and the rest brushed past Li Hongyuan.
