The next day, the Ninth Princess was absent from the morning court due to illness. She appeared in Shangshu Province just after noon, just in time to catch up with the six-ministry meeting convened by Jiang Chenyan.
Although Chu Lin has been on the throne for more than half a year, the candidate for prime minister has been pending, and even important court positions such as Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling are vacant.
Chu Lin once intended to promote Jiang Chenyan to the rank of Shangshu Ling, a second-rank official, to command six ministries, but he was unanimously opposed by the old officials of the late emperor.
The conservatives in the imperial court only allowed the new emperor to promote a young confidant to the top. After Chu Lin thought about it, he chose to promote Lu Hang to the position of minister of Zhongshu, while Jiang Chenyan was no longer promoted and remained the minister of ministers. Servant shot.
¡°In the final analysis, when the old emperor promotes young officials, others think it is enlightened.
While the new emperor relied on young officials, others thought the emperor was too young and energetic.
?????????????????? However, those shrewd six ministers had long realized that the top leader of the Shangshu Province was not Mr. He from Zuopu She, but Mr. Jiang, who was the right servant.
Everyone tacitly believed that Jiang Chenyan was the head of the hundred officials and the most important cabinet minister that the new emperor relied on.
After Jiang Chenyan finished presiding over the meeting of the six ministries, the officials of the six ministries resigned one after another, and Chu Siqing was about to leave. At this time, Jiang Chenyan, who was behind the princess, called out to her: "Princess, stay here, I have important matters to discuss with the princess."
Chu Siqing frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant, but when she saw people around her looking inquiringly, she could only bite the bullet and said to the Minister of Rites: "Servant Pei, you go back first, I will come later."
Pei Tang glanced at the expressionless Ninth Princess, clasped his hands in fists and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that all the officials from the six ministries had left, Chu Siqing knelt back to the table and said calmly: "Master Jiang, please speak."
Jiang Yan looked at Chu Siqing's face carefully, and was almost distracted by the charming and charming appearance. She chuckled and said: "Princess, your Majesty and I discussed taxation matters until late at night yesterday, and I just missed the birthday banquet at the Duke's Mansion. Please forgive me, Ninth Princess."
? Chu Siqing glanced at her with a little surprise, and when she saw her smiling face, she frowned and said lightly: "You asked me to stay just to talk about this?"
Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed and smiled and said: "Well, no - it's just that when I saw the princess discussing politics today, she looked a little tired, so I would like to pay attention to the princess. Is there anything troublesome recently? I, I also So that I can share the worries of the princess." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grasp Chu Siqing's wrist and make a pulse.
Chu Siqing panicked in her heart, and quickly took her hand out, saying angrily: "This man and woman are not close to each other, please respect yourself."
Jiang Yan lowered her voice and said innocently, "But I'm not a man."
Chu Siqing choked and held it for a long time before saying: "This girl is not allowed to be kissed." Then she said: "Master Jiang, just take care of your own affairs. I have a consort to take care of you, so I won't bother you." ¡±
Consort.
Jiang Yan felt a pain in her chest, her eyes were dim, and she said to Chu Siqing's side face: "Well, Princess Qi is okay. I heard from Lu Hang that Princess Qi is pregnant with twins this time, and he is more worried about it. , so Wei Chen just wanted to ask if there is anything I can do to help."
Chu Siqing suppressed her impatience, her eyes became colder and colder, and she said sarcastically: "Master Jiang is also Xiao Qi's brother-in-law. If you want to visit, you can go by yourself. There is no need to ask for my opinion."
Jiang Yan seemed unable to hear the displeasure in Chu Siqing's words, and still asked herself: "Oh, okay, then does the princess also live in Princess Qi's mansion now?"
Seeing Jiang Yan pretending to be dumbfounded, Chu Siqing became even more embarrassed and angry, and immediately wanted to have a fit. She said coldly: "Master Jiang, if you have nothing important to do, I will go back to the etiquette department first."
Jiang Yan saw Chu Siqing turning around and was about to leave, knowing that she had lost her temper, so she quickly pulled her sleeve and said urgently: "Princess, wait, I have something to do, I have something to do."
Chu Siqing squinted her eyes and stared at Jiang Yan's "salty pig hand" for a while. Only then did Jiang Yan realize that she had exceeded the rules again and quickly let go.
Seeing her shoulders trembling slightly and her submissive look, Chu Siqing felt angry and amused at the same time. She immediately lost her anger and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say."
Seeing that Chu Siqing had changed her cold and serious expression, Jiang Yan suddenly felt happy. She said seriously: "The Wang Ling of the Ministry of Punishment submitted his resignation to His Majesty yesterday. He claimed that he was old and His Majesty also agreed. I, I , I originally wanted to ask Your Majesty to elevate His Majesty to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, but now things have changed, princess, what do you think we should do?"
Chu Siqing's eyes flashed with surprise, and she just replied lightly: "Shilang Wang is gone, I'm just bringing someone up to take his place. You don't need to ask me."
Jiang Yan didn¡¯t seem to care about Chu Siqing¡¯s implicit ridicule, her eyes were calm and natural, she smiled slightly: ¡°Your Highness, your words are wrong, Princess, while wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
As for Lu Hang and Chu Siqing, the Lu Mansion sent people to inform them. The first one to come back was Lu Hang. Lu Hang was presiding over the meeting in Zhongshu Province. After hearing the report from the servants in the government, he quickly asked for leave with all the officials. , hurried back.
When he arrived at the gate of the princess's house, he turned over and jumped, threw the horse's rope away, and ran towards the inner courtyard without waiting for the servant to lead the horse.
Seeing everyone gathered outside the house, Lu Hang imitated Chu Qingyan and rushed into the delivery room without saying a word. The nuns in the house were shocked and stopped her quickly.
Mr. Lu stopped his reckless son and said sternly: "Hang'er, don't be rash. Why are you, a grown man, going in?"
After Lu Hang was scolded by his father, he suddenly woke up. He was indeed reckless. After calming down the impulse in his heart, he pulled Doctor Fang and asked: "Doctor Fang, didn't you say that the princess didn't give birth until mid-term? Why did she give birth so soon? It¡¯s about to give birth.¡±
Doctor Fang touched his beard and explained: "The princess is pregnant with twins, and the date of delivery is uncertain. I checked the princess's pulse. The yin and yang energy in the body is sufficient, and it is indeed like a melon with a ripe stem and a falling body."
Lu Hang was worried when he suddenly heard an exclamation from inside the house: "Ah - it hurts so much, ah -"
Lu Hang's heartstrings were tightly tugged by the voice, and his whole heart was in a state of confusion. He clutched the doctor's sleeve tightly and asked anxiously: "Then princess, why did you scream so miserably? What's the matter with this? Any idea?"
Seeing Lu Hang's frown, Doctor Fang quickly comforted him: "Don't be anxious, sir. When this woman is about to give birth, she will have some pain due to the collapse of her fetus. As for why the princess is in so much pain, she is afraid that the second baby has been squeezed in, even to the waist. For severe pain, I have ordered someone to prepare Tuohua Jian, which has the effect of stimulating labor for those who are about to give birth."
Seeing that his son was uneasy, Mr. Lu sighed secretly. He said to the doctors: "Doctor Fang, doctors, if the princess can give birth safely tonight, Lu will be very grateful."
"Mr. Lu, you're welcome."

ps: Come and pay off the debt. This is the debt owed last week. I will pay off the debt owed last weekend in two days.
Let me first answer a few questions asked by friends last time:
1. Qingchu is updated weekly. Although I am very busy (I have to go to work and deliver customized goods for Yang Huojun), I will insist on updating weekly, and I will start editing articles every day. If you see it in Jinjiang Don¡¯t be surprised if I revise the previous chapters.
2. In the last chapter, Xiaojiu was really having an erotic dream. It was a dream, but the writing was very real, right? Everyone understands that she thinks about things day by day and dreams at night.
3. Why is this chapter called "Mistake"? You will understand it after reading it. I will dedicate one sentence to Xiao Jiang, Shu He and Chu Qi in this chapter, "You big pig hooves, if you don't seek death, you won't die."
4. I have restored Xiao Jiang¡¯s name from the main perspective, and everyone will get used to it gradually. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
