"This, this, this..."

Xiren was shocked when he heard this. Hearing what the third girl meant, it was clear that she wanted him to be her dowry!

But this...

She was so panicked that she stuttered: "I, I, after all, have..."

"Isn't Ping'er at Jiao's house now?"

Tanchun understood the meaning of her words and said unconcernedly: "Didn't you still carry your aunt?"

This is true.

Thinking of Ping'er's situation, Xixin felt a little relieved. If he could do Ping'er's job, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than wasting time in Rongguo Mansion?

but……

"How dare I compare with Ping'er? She and Uncle Jiao have been friends since childhood - besides, Second Master's side..."

"As long as you are willing, the second brother will not stop you. Isn't Qingwen over there?"

The attacker was silent again.

Jia Baoyu was unique among all the maids in his connivance with Qingwen, but when Qingwen was forced to move to the Jiao family, he really failed to stop her.

So if it were you this time, would the result be different?

Tanchun just had an impromptu idea, thinking about adding some weights, so when she didn't answer, he didn't say anything more, raised his finger and pointed in front of him and said, "We're here, follow me in to see Sister Bao."

,still……"

"me……"

Xiren was so confused by Tanchun's words that he couldn't even understand what the third girl was saying. He raised his head blankly and hesitated. She probably didn't even know what she wanted to say.

"Think about it yourself."

Tanchun saw this and patted her lightly on the shoulder, then went to Xue Baochai's place.

I didn't want to see Aunt Xue again as soon as I entered the door.

She couldn't help but be startled and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that aunt went to live with our wife? How..."

Aunt Xue stood up and said with a smile: "You are too busy. Besides, I mainly came to see your sister. Now that I see that she is well, I feel relieved - you said what you said, I will go back to the inner room to relax for a while."

Baochai also hurriedly got up, and the two of them sent Aunt Xue into the inner room, and then sat down in the living room again.

Tanchun handed the article he wrote to Baochai for review, and then flipped through Baochai's new article with ease.

The styles of their articles are very different. One is famous for his sharp and penetrating words, which can always make viewers gasp in admiration; the other is good at listing various data, and makes people believe in them through detailed and meticulous words.

As for Lin Daiyu, she is known for her whimsical and unconstrained ideas, which always make people confused.

Xing Xiuyan followed Jiao Shun's example and followed the short composition route, and is best at mobilizing readers' emotions.

Tanchun has always been a quick shooter. He quickly finished reading Baochai's article and marked the areas that he thought needed slight revision. Then he stopped and started drinking tea.

After waiting for a while, she saw that Baochai was still grading, and she suddenly asked: "Why do I see that there are several articles that look like Sister Lin's writing style?"

Xue Baochai looked up blankly: "Really? I thought it was Sister Xing's handiwork."

"maybe."

Tanchun nodded noncommittally.

If those articles were indeed written by Lin Daiyu, then this would be interesting - how did Jiao Shun find her as a shooter? Or maybe the two have never lost contact?

If it were anyone else, Tanchun might guess that Lin Daiyu chose to remain anonymous in order to escape reality.

But being involved with Jiao made her unable to stop thinking about it.

But if it is really what she thinks, what role does Xue Baochai play in it?

He held his cheek in his hand and looked at Xue Baochai thoughtfully. Baochai suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you think the Jiao family can survive this time?"

"Of course!"

Tanchun answered without thinking: "When have you ever seen him lose?"

Baochai didn't say anything more, but felt a little sweat in her heart for Jiao Shun.

In the past, Jiao Shun's ability to turn disaster into good fortune was not only due to his own abilities, but also due to the emperor's trust and support, but this time...

The Queen and Concubine Wu may not be as steadfast as the Emperor!

…………

Xue Baochai really guessed it right.

Faced with the current situation, the Queen and Concubine Wu were indeed shaken.

The main reason is that as women in the harem, they have never faced such pressure directly. On one side, the royal family members are gearing up, and on the other side, the important officials in the court are eager to try. Although they live in seclusion in the deep palace, they always feel as if they are surrounded by wolves.

The first person to retreat was, of course, the fierce-looking Concubine Wu.

At first, she scolded the ministers for being disloyal and the King of Loyalty and Submission, but when the pressure continued to increase, she began to feel uneasy.

That afternoon, she ran to Chuxiu Palace and complained loudly: "That Jiao Changqing is really useless. He said he wanted to fight a public opinion war. I think he was clearly beaten by others!"

She walked back and forth twice on her thick-soled embroidered shoes, and said worriedly: "Now I am saying that no one in the court has made the decision, and now I am urging me to add more bachelors to the cabinet. It is not good to agree to any of them, but I can't keep dragging it out like this.

?”

Although the Queen is more stable than her, she can also bear greater pressure, so she can't help but feel a little restless right now.

He let out a long sigh and said distressedly: "Now I have to worry about all kinds of things as soon as I open my eyes, from the promotion of the border official to the money and food for disaster relief and compensation. I don't know where to start from all these threads - before

I still don’t realize that now I know how difficult it is for the emperor to manage such a large country.”

Concubine Wu nodded empathetically. Now she even regretted that she shouldn't have neglected Jia Yuanchun so early. After all, she was the master, not the young master. Wouldn't it be better to deal with her when the emperor died?

But before, she said some harsh words in front of the queen because of Jia Yuanchun's matter, and it would be hard to save face if she wanted to go back now.

So he suppressed his regrets and said: "Actually, I have to say that this new policy has not seen many benefits. Confucian scholars have been used to govern the country in all dynasties, which shows that the laws of our ancestors are effective and there is no need to make major changes."

These words were obviously influenced by what was said in the newspapers.

When the queen heard this, her beautiful eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Wu was also a little confused. She sat down opposite the queen and twisted her body like ADHD. After a while, she said: "I mean, those scholars will never rebel no matter what, but it will be different if King Zhongshun succeeds."

, for the sake of brother Yao, maybe..."

She originally wanted to wait for the queen to understand it on her own, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no reaction from the queen, she had to add: "Maybe we can also learn to be loyal and obedient to the king."

The so-called "learning from the loyal and shun king" naturally meant that he wanted to use Gongxue and Jiao Shun as bargaining chips to exchange for the support of the courtiers.

"no!"

The queen flatly refused: "Jiao Changqing must not move, at least not at this time!"

Concubine Wu slumped back when she heard this, then stood up holding on to the Kang table and asked with burning eyes: "Why, sister can't bear to let him go?"

"Bah~"

The queen spat angrily and said angrily: "Seriously, why are you... To tell you the truth, Concubine Xiande specifically reminded me before. She said that if the Supreme Emperor was still here, she could invite Jiao Changqing and Gongxue.

To buy people's hearts; but now that the Supreme Emperor is gone, doing so will only show weakness to the enemy, and in vain will you lose the only minister you can trust."

Seeing that Concubine Wu still didn't understand what she was hearing, she had no choice but to explain further: "It means that if we give in now, those ministers will probably go even further in the future!"

Concubine Wu suddenly realized.

But apart from betraying Jiao Shun, the two of them could not think of any other way.

After looking at each other for a long time, the queen finally sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, let's call Jiao Shun into the palace again and ask. After these days, maybe he has come up with some good ideas."
