Chapter 112 Trivia
Inside the main hall of Yichun Palace, Jiang Wanyue changed into a light yellow palace dress, leaned on the couch, and looked at the small clothes and hats that Xing'er and the others had brought.
The small tiger-head hat is embroidered vividly, and with the addition of wind hair, it looks playful and cute.
These were sent by the female official Si Ze, and they are all for Xu'er.
"Madam Size said that she wanted to bring someone to personally measure you, the master, and then make you some clothes."
As soon as Xing'er finished speaking, Mi'er came back from outside.
"Master, I have delivered the message. They have already gone back."
Jiang Wanyue said “hmm”.
"Have you noticed their expressions?"
Mier nodded: "I'm watching! The chef is quite patient, the gardener and the doctor are not very good, and there is also a chef, I'm not sure, I can't see through her. Master, do you want someone to keep an eye on them?"
Jiang Wanyue didn't even raise her head.
"No need. If it works, use it. If it doesn't, just replace it. They are the ones begging me now, not me begging them. Let's wait for a few days and see how they perform."
Mi'er put the matter aside and started studying clothes with others.
"These clothes are so delicately made, the stitches are so dense, and they are all hidden inside, so they won't hurt the young master. Master, do you want to see the lady-in-chief?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
"I have to meet you, but not now."
Size's people sent someone to deliver the things today, probably because they didn't see Zhu Yan at Yi Qiu Palace yesterday.
After a while, the MC should send someone to show goodwill.
Jiang Wanyue stretched.
Zhu Yan's mind was all on the child, and she couldn't feel at ease until the matter of a wet nurse was settled.
Next, all we have to do is wait for her to ask and turn down the task of managing the Eastern Palace.
Taking care of a premature and weak child requires a lot of thought. Zhu Yan is a person who is content with having a child. She loves her child from the bottom of her heart, so naturally, everything is based on the child first.
Jiang Wanyue never thought about really standing side by side with Zhu Yan.
You must hold power in your own hands to feel at ease.
But she couldn't say this, nor could she reveal her ambition to fight for power, otherwise it would probably arouse Li Ce's suspicion.
Besides, she didn't want to really fight with Zhu Yan.
So, I had to use this roundabout method.
As for whether Zhu Yan would have other thoughts after having a son and turn against Jiang Wanyue...there is no need to worry about that.
Jiang Wanyue sat up straighter and called to the maids.
"Okay, put everything away first and do what needs to be done. Mi'er, have someone guard the front. If His Highness comes this way, report immediately."
She gave a few instructions and the maids left one by one.
At this time, Xiuchun came in from outside.
"At least five of those palace maids sneaked out last night to report the news, and another four left our palace for legitimate reasons, but I don't know who they met."
Jiang Wanyue nodded casually.
"Just deal with these people as you see fit. There are only a few people behind this anyway."
The ladies and princes in the palace.
Apart from these people, no one else would place spies in the inner courtyard, but only around Li Ce.
Of course, it could also be that he was eyeing the position of Li Ce's concubine and wanted to send someone to the Eastern Palace. Jiang Wanyue didn't care about this at all.
Poses no threat.
"By the way, has godmother gone home?" Jiang Wanyue thought of something and suddenly asked.
"Yes, my godmother sent someone to deliver a letter saying that she would go back to her hometown to worship her ancestors during the New Year. The road is not easy to travel, so she has to leave early."
Xiuchun took out a small folded piece of letter paper from her sleeve.
Jiang Wanyue frowned.
"You won't be back until March?"
"Yes! The further north you go, the colder the weather gets. In my godmother's hometown, the river is covered with thick ice, and it is difficult for a horse carriage to travel on the road. We have to wait until spring to set off." Xiuchun said, sighing, "She is the only one at her godmother's home, so she has to go back."
Jiang Wanyue folded the letter again.
"The journey is long, and I'm worried about her going alone. How about this! Let the family spend money to hire a team of escorts, and find two officials or soldiers to go with them."
Xiuchun's eyes lit up.
"I will send a letter home right away. The master and his wife will surely be able to arrange it."
Jiang Wanyue thought for a moment and then said, "When the time comes, you can go and see my godmother off for me. I can't leave the palace at will now. Don't give me gold or silver. My godmother doesn't need the money. Money can attract people's attention. If you bring too much silver, something bad might happen. By the way, didn't the emperor give me a lot of medicinal herbs last month? Pick out a few good ones and send them to my godmother. I'm sure she'll like them."
This series of arrangements is extremely appropriate.
Xiuchun took note of it carefully and went to do it immediately.
This morning, Jiang Wanyue had nothing to do except accepting gifts.
In the afternoon, Nanny Qian returned with news about Lao Ma.
Jiang Wanyue immediately perked up. She asked someone to bring Nanny Qian into the east room and asked the maids to serve tea, fruits and snacks.
It took Nanny Qian a long time to finish her speech.
After listening to this, Jiang Wanyue felt relieved.
Except for Eunuch Feng, none of the officials who got into trouble had anything to do with Li Ce.
Deputy Captain Ma also specifically inquired about these people's relatives, friends, and colleagues in the yamen, and found that none of them were related to the Eastern Palace.
Since it wasn't Li Ce who did it, Jiang Wanyue felt relieved.
However, although Jiang Wanyue had let this matter go, the court could not let it go.
The Ministry of Justice investigated for a long time but found no useful clues. The emperor was so angry that he cursed the Ministry of Justice for its incompetence at the court meeting. The Minister of Justice even knelt on the ground and apologized, but failed to dispel the emperor's anger.
In the end, it was the prince who pleaded for mercy, and the emperor did not punish the Ministry of Justice.
If these cases remain unresolved, the court's reputation will be torn off and trampled on.
At this time, the Sixth Prince, Prince Liang, who had just been able to participate in court meetings, proposed an idea.
Announcements were widely issued, promising wealth, fame, and titles, inviting talented and ambitious people from the public to come and investigate.
Naturally the emperor refused. If this notice was issued, wouldn't it be like announcing to the world that there was no one in the court?
The emperor can't afford to lose face.
After much discussion, they finally came up with a compromise, which was to let the Ministry of Justice issue a notice to recruit people.
Anyway, this matter should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.
When the emperor saw that it had nothing to do with him, he thought that it would not be a disgrace to himself, so he let it go.
After the court was dismissed, Li Ce returned to the East Palace and was in a good mood.
The eunuchs he has to serve now are Eunuch Wang, who is in his fifties, and Eunuch Liang, who is in his thirties.
At this moment, the person following him was Eunuch Wang.
Eunuch Wang glanced at his master's expression and ran over in small steps.
"Your Highness, it's almost time for lunch. Where do you plan to eat it?"
Li Ce stopped.
"Go to Yichun Palace."
