Chapter 4947 Jinyang: You must stand by my side in the future!
Heavy snow was falling, covering the towers and palaces. Under the bright lights, the East Palace was peaceful.
The dinner was served with seafood sent from the East China Sea. Prince Li Xiang had a round belly after eating it. Queen Su did not dare to let him go to bed early and watched him walking back and forth in the palace to eat. After Princess Changle washed herself, she went to take care of her son Luer. Princess Yang was idle and bored when she suddenly remembered that there was a "divine machine battalion" lurking in the Li Zheng Palace, so she called the servant and asked: "How much seafood is left from the East China Sea?"
"Going back to Your Highness, transportation is not easy now, so every time Huating Town sends a large amount of seafood, there is still a lot left. The servants have asked people to store it, but if it cannot be eaten in the past two days, it may spoil."
Princess Jinyang sat on the embroidered pier, opening her mouth like a cherry: "There is no need to store it in the cellar, it is all cooked, and it can be used as a midnight snack for the soldiers of the 'Shenji Battalion'."
This chamberlain was a confidant of the queen, so he naturally knew that there was an army hidden in Li Zheng Palace. Hearing this, he quickly responded: "Here, I will let you cook it."
"Well, go quickly."
Princess Jinyang hummed, and then said: "Come here and let me know when the cooking is done. I will go with you to express my condolences. These students came to the palace to protect the prince and have worked hard, but I have not seen them yet."< br>
"Here."
The chamberlain retreated.
Princess Jinyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her hands were as delicate as orchid, her posture was elegant, her waist was slender, her back was straight, her silk hair was like clouds, and her head was like a gooseneck. Her petite and slender figure was full of dignified and elegant charm.
The reason why I went to "sympathize with one or two" was naturally to buy people's hearts.
The leader of this "Shenji Camp" is Cen Changqian, the nephew of the late Zhongshu Ling and Cen Wenwen, the son of Jiangling County. He was raised as a heir since he was a child. He has a deep foundation in the civil service system. Jun vigorously promoted him, and he served as Zuo Jinwu's chief guard as soon as he entered the official position, making him a rising star in the political arena.
However, these are not the reasons why Princess Jinyang is willing to "be courteous to the virtuous servant". The real reason is that Cen Changqian is Fang Jun's confidant and has a bright future within Fang Jun's small circle.
If you want to conquer your brother-in-law, you must first conquer the people around him. Otherwise, who will speak for you at the critical moment?
When facing the scene, if a confidant like Cen Changqian says something to him, although it cannot influence his brother-in-law's decision-making, it will definitely have an immeasurable impact...
There is a lack of seasoning in this era, so the cooking method of food is naturally very simple, especially seafood, which is delicious and original, so it can be cooked quickly, but feeding more than a hundred people is not an easy task.
Half an hour later, the waiter came to report that the seafood had been cooked. He also added dishes on his own initiative, making up enough food for a hundred people.
Princess Jinyang stood up and led a large group of servants and maids to the back palaces.
It was a top secret that the "Shenji Camp" hid in Li Zhengdian, but after all, so many people were hiding in it, it was difficult not to reveal the truth in daily life, so the queen found excuses to increase the number of slaves and maids in Li Zhengdian, and kept it strictly confidential.
At this time, Li Zheng Palace is like the "palace within the palace" of the East Palace...
Cen Changqian had already learned that Princess Jinyang had given her a midnight snack, so she waited in the corridor of the side hall with more than ten academy students.
There was heavy snowfall in front of me, the roof of the palace was hidden in the dark night, and the double eaves were reflected by the light of the lanterns, casting a dark shadow.
Snow powder fell, and a pretty crimson figure appeared in sight.
Her black hair was tied into a bun, studded with pearls. Her slender neck was like a swan. She wore a crimson cloak outside her skirt. The snow-white fur collar made her skin as white as jade. She walked lightly on the thick ground. Covered with snow, he came with dignified manner and style.
As we got closer, the lanterns in the corridor reflected a small face as big as a palm, with picturesque features and natural beauty.
Cen Changqian quickly led more than a dozen other academy students out of the corridor, knelt down on one knee in the snow, and said: "I have an audience with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Jinyang stopped, her manners were elegant, her lips were parted, and her voice was as clear and clear as pearls falling on a jade plate: "My dear friends, you are exempted from the ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cen Changqian and others stood up, turned sideways and stood in a row, with respectful expressions.
The reputation of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty has never been very good, which has caused many meritorious families to be reluctant to honor the princess, but Princess Jinyang is obviously not one of them. As early as the time of Emperor Taizong, the reputation of Princess Jinyang had already appeared among the courtiers. This little princess was not only talented and smart, but also had a soft heart and a kind personality. She interceded for the civil and military ministers many times.
It is said that no one can control His Majesty Li Er when he is furious, but only Princess Jinyang can comfort her. Often with a few words and a smile, His Majesty Li Er's anger will be quietly resolved, allowing the ministers to make mistakes, and finally Also laughed it off.
Therefore, Princess Jinyang has a very good reputation among civil servants and military generals.
In addition, the academy students have great respect for Fang Jun and regard him as the benchmark for their lifelong pursuit. Regarding the extremely close relationship between Fang Jun and Princess Jinyang, the academy students all regard Princess Jinyang as "one of their own". Naturally close.
Princess Jinyang raised her pretty face slightly, with a light smile, reserved and gentle: "You are all the pillars of the country, and the future emperor will be able to enter the East Palace to protect the prince's safety. The whole royal family is deeply touched. Besides, you are all students of my brother-in-law. On New Year's Day Zhifang is dedicated to serving the public, so how can we wait for you? Today, there are seafood sent from the East China Sea. I have people cook a delicious meal and give it to you to enjoy a late night snack and express your feelings. "
Cen Changqian and others were so frightened that they did not even dare to say: "Your Highness's love and care are deeply felt by us! But as human ministers, we should protect the safety of the state crown prince. Even if we are cut into pieces with swords and axes, we will have no regrets or regrets." Dare to be your highness’s compliment.”
Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "You are Cen Changqian, right? I often hear my brother-in-law talking about you. You are indeed talented, handsome, and capable. No wonder my brother-in-law thinks so highly of you."
Cen Changqian raised her head and saw the little princess in front of her smiling brightly. In the heavy snow, the gentle smile on her incomparably beautiful face was as clear and pure as a pool of spring water, and her bright eyes reflected the light of the lantern, and her eyes were like water...
The girl's slender body is wrapped in a cloak and she stands tall. A virtuous and elegant aura permeates the air, making people feel close to her.
Cen Changqian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly, with a hint of embarrassment: "I am only a humble minister, but I am only diligent. I am not worthy of His Highness's words."
Although I also think that the relationship between the Marshal and Princess Jinyang is a little disrespectful, I feel that the incomparably beautiful, clear and pure girl in front of me can only be matched by a great man as heroic as the Marshal, with both civil and military skills...
For a moment, my heart was filled with happiness, and I added: "Your Highness is someone close to the Commander-in-Chief. We obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders, and naturally we also respect His Highness's orders. As long as Your Highness has orders, all students in the academy will obey!"
"..."
Princess Jinyang pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes with laughter.
She originally loved Wujiwu and had a deep affection for these generals and students under her brother-in-law. Now after hearing Cen Changqian's words, she felt more and more that they were simply "a family"...
No matter how smart she is, she is just a little girl who has just grown hair. She is no match for a cunning boy like Cen Changqian who has the potential to be a prime minister. With a little flattery, she made the princess feel extremely comfortable and in a beautiful mood. Da...
Looking at Cen Changqian with a smile, he said crisply: "I will remember your words!"
Cen Changqian bowed again: "The words from the heart of a humble minister are like gold and jade, and they will never change!"
Princess Jinyang's smile was as bright as a flower: "I am here. I think you are too reserved to enjoy yourself, so I am going back. When we withdraw in the middle of the night, I will not come to see you off, but I sincerely wish you all a bright future. Jin, Yi Sui's ambition to reach the sky . We have established friendship, and friends should help each other. Although I can’t help you become successful, if someone bullies you, you can come to me and I will definitely help you!”
If you take something in advance, you must give it in advance. If you may need help from these academy students in the future, you must make a promise in advance. If things come to a close and you appoint an official to make a wish, you won’t be able to impress these proud people...
Since Cen Wenwen, they have all been green young men under the age of twenty. They originally admired such a noble and wealthy lady. Now seeing this beautiful, wise, dignified and virtuous princess, she is so invisible, naturally she becomes more and more... There is a sense of closeness.
More than ten people knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "I am willing to serve His Highness!"
Even though Princess Jinyang has always been precocious and emotionally stable, now that she saw these heroic young men admiring and respecting her in front of her, she could not help but feel a sense of pride in her heart that "a man should be like this".
No wonder those men are still working tirelessly to climb up even though they are in high positions and have great power. The scenery at the peak of power is indeed very different.
……
In the side hall, a group of students from the "Shenji Camp" drank and drank together happily.
Although Princess Jinyang is just a princess who has not yet left the cabinet and has no power, her influence in the palace is definitely among the top five. Even His Majesty will not easily refute her claims, especially It was Fang Jun who doted on him and almost obeyed him. Today's promise can be described as an extremely powerful "talisman".
As long as he does not commit a heinous crime in the future, he can seek protection from Princess Jinyang based on today's origins...
Besides, when they were young and admiring each other, facing the beautiful and lovely Princess, whom they regarded as close to their hearts, they were naturally full of passion and emotions.
Cen Wenwen ate seafood, drank two glasses of wine, and told others: "We will evacuate the East Palace in a moment. It is best for you to drink less to avoid any mistakes."
"Here."
He has a good background, good grades, and strong abilities. He is highly valued by Fang Jun. Now he has become a leader of the academy. Everyone obeys his words and orders without any refutation.
A chamberlain walked in quickly with a slightly panicked expression. He came to Cen Changqian's side and whispered: "Something is not right. All doors in the East Palace have been strengthened. The number of patrolling guards has nearly doubled. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out." Gone.”
"Huh?" Cen Changqian raised her eyebrows and her heart skipped a beat.
