Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1204 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 128

Jiang Xinxin had no idea how conflicted Prince Bao's wife was. What made her happiest was that Da Pangju would not have two years of good life left, so as the year drew to a close, she continued to say that she wanted to recuperate in the Old Summer Palace, and she also suggested that Da Pangju promote Concubine Yu to a higher position.

Big Fat Orange has officially torn his face with Jiang Xinxin, and now Jiang Xinxin has found an excuse not to return to the palace, so he will just go with the flow. However, in order to prevent the princes from being blamed, Prince Duan brought a group of princes and princesses to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate Jiang Xinxin's birthday. The newly-appointed Concubine Yu also made a set of clothes for Jiang Xinxin to show her gratitude.

Jianqiu wanted to show the thank-you gift from Concubine Yu to others, so she personally took people to hold up the dress and brought it to Jiang Xinxin, praising her carefully, "Look, your majesty, Concubine Yu is very particular about her work. Since she couldn't get bright yellow or red material, she used honey-colored material to make you a casual dress."

"Look at this embroidery, it's obviously Suzhou embroidery, which is rare in Beijing. I don't know where Concubine Yu learned this skill. These two magpies are so lifelike that you might mistake them for real birds."

Jiang Xinxin didn't know before whether Concubine Yu could do Suzhou embroidery. In her impression, it seemed that Concubine Rou was the only concubine in the harem who could do Suzhou embroidery, and her skills were pretty good. It was just that Concubine Rou herself didn't realize it before. Now, Concubine Rou not only assists Concubine Jing and Concubine Ning in managing the affairs of the harem, but also finds time to sell Suzhou embroidery to the Eighth Prince to save for the family. Her life must be fulfilling.

Jiang Xinxin lifted up the clothes and took a closer look. There must be a difference between Concubine Yu's craftsmanship and the tribute. After all, the embroiderers who embroidered the tribute not only put in unimaginable hard work, but it was also very rare for them to be dexterous.

However, she was very satisfied with Concubine Yu's sincerity. She smiled and asked Jianqiu to put the clothes away. "Put them away first. You can wear them when the weather gets warmer next year."

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin really liked the dress, Jianqiu was quite happy, and secretly decided to give Concubine Yu more convenience in the future. If Concubine Yu was as knowledgeable, tactful and grateful as before, she could give Prince He more convenience.

Originally, everyone thought that Jiang Xinxin claimed to be sick this year and would not return to the palace during the New Year holidays, so she would not celebrate her birthday. However, unexpectedly, the concubines in the palace prepared generous gifts as usual, and the princes and princesses all went to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate Jiang Xinxin's birthday. Many people who felt that they were insulted by Jiang Xinxin had to re-evaluate Jiang Xinxin's importance.

In fact, more and more people from Mongolia have sent people to celebrate Jiang Xinxin's birthday. Even if there is no thousand-year banquet this year, the enthusiasm of the Mongolians cannot be resisted.

Mongolian princes cannot enter Beijing at will, but it is okay for the princesses. What's more, they come mainly to see Jiang Xinxin, so they just need to hand the name card to Jiang Xinxin, the queen.

Perhaps these princesses wanted to see Jiang Xinxin's physical condition with their own eyes. Jiang Xinxin received one memorial after another and had no choice but to agree to them all.

What's more, she also wanted to teach those ungrateful royal family members a lesson.

To be honest, even if Jiang Xinxin is a born idiot, after traveling through so many worlds, she should have grown some brains. At least she wouldn't be so naive as to think that there are only good people in this world, or that it is not empty talk that good people live peaceful lives.

Therefore, it is normal for people to covet the huge amount of wealth in your hands when you are weak.

But it wasn't enough that those people danced in front of her, they also wanted a second wave. So she couldn't be blamed for being intolerant. After all, she was a deity, but not a saint in any sense of the word.

Jiang Xinxin wanted to deal with the people, and Jianqiu agreed with both hands, "Your Majesty should have done this a long time ago, otherwise those people would never have a second chance to do it again."

Jiang Xinxin just smiled and said, "I am old after all, and my memory is a little poor. If they hadn't danced so hard, I don't know when I would have remembered it."

Jianqiu asked Jiang Xinxin about her plan. Jiang Xinxin had thought about it long ago. "You don't have to target her. You just need to spread the word to the Mongolian princesses who are coming to visit that I intend to adjust the wool business. Some people really don't work hard and get paid for nothing. It's right to let those who work hard get more benefits."

As soon as Jianqiu heard this, she understood that Jiang Xinxin wanted to use the power of others to fight against them, and at the same time try to get close to the royal family. She immediately clapped her hands and flattered, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea!"

"In the past, you didn't care whether the royal wives were loyal to you. Now is a good time to test their strength. I believe those who are interested are waiting for your order."

There were indeed people waiting for Jiang Xinxin's statement, such as Princess Chaogui, and families like the Prince of Zhi's Mansion, the Prince of Li's Mansion, the Prince of Cheng's Mansion, the Prince of Yu's Mansion, the Prince of Gong's Mansion, the Prince of Heng's Mansion, the Prince of Chun's Mansion, the Ninth Beile's Mansion, the Prince of Yi's Mansion, the Prince of Zhuang's Mansion, and the Prince of Yu's Mansion.

Almost all of them have many children and close relations with the royal family, and they have long been looking for an opportunity to exclude other royal families from the wool business.

Jiang Xinxin expressed her intention to hold accountable those who had been eyeing the money in her hands, and these families quickly took action. They had ready-made excuses. It just so happened that the families who had offended Jiang Xinxin were almost all those who had not repaid all the debts owed to the national treasury.

The current Prince Gong simply waved his hand and impeached them one by one in the court. Other palaces followed suit and listed the charges one by one in the court. Everyone knew that they had set their sights on the wool business members in the hands of those people.

Big Fat Orange would not make a decision casually. Even though he was tempted by the wool business, he knew that as an emperor, he had better have a legitimate reason at this time, otherwise the royal family and court officials would follow suit and there would be a big chaos.

So Big Fat Orange waved his hand and temporarily shelved the impeachments. All subsequent memorials were kept and not issued. He was very familiar with these people. Almost all of them had coveted Jiang Xinxin's property in the past two years.

Even though Fucha sacrificed the lives of two married women and a legitimate wife for Jiang Xinxin's affair, the three Ma Qi brothers and their entire family were exiled to Lingnan, and Fucha's power was completely eliminated from the capital, but in the end the knife did not fall on those people, so even if they had concerns, they were very limited.

At this moment, the royal family was in trouble, and Big Fat Orange knew that it was Jiang Xinxin who had expressed her stance without using the sticky rod.

Thinking of the Mongolian princesses who were on the way, Big Fat Orange could only resign himself to letting the clan office investigate the evidence.

To be honest, let alone the children of the royal family, even ordinary powerful families are bound to have a few corrupt officials who bully men and women. The court officials all understood why all the powerful princes of the royal family were mobilized this time, so they cooperated very well. As a result, most of the royal family members on the list were either stripped of their titles or had their property confiscated and demoted to commoners. In short, no one got away with it.

There was no birthday banquet for Jiang Xinxin. The Mongolian princesses had plenty of places to live, and the one who came to the palace to pay homage was Fatty Ju. The only people accompanying him were Concubine Jing and other older wives of the royal family who were of higher seniority.

Later, he made a special trip to the Old Summer Palace to visit Jiang Xinxin, and Jiang Xinxin insisted on inviting him to stay for dinner. They gathered together to have a leisurely meal, chatted a little, and then gave each other generous gifts. That was how she celebrated her birthday.
