I actually traveled through time and became the richest woman

Chapter 105 Appointment and Removal of Officials
"Ma'am, you have to save the servant girl."

With that said, she had crawled up to Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Zeng Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

The woman in front of him had a fair face, dirty face, disheveled hair, torn clothes, and a pitiful appearance.

It does look like it's fleeing.

"Bring her some sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Zeng Xiaoxiao was overflowing with sympathy.

The girl looked, starving.

"Thank you madam, thank you madam."

Before Zeng Xiaoxiao continued to speak, Qiaoer began to kowtow violently.

"Well, here it is for you."

Qiu'er carries the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the plate and walks up to Qiao'er.She stopped and handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Qiaoer.

"Thank you sister, thank you sister."

After Qiaoer thanked her, she took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it in big mouthfuls.

She couldn't even take a sip of the water Ping'er brought over.

Seeing Qiaoer's actions in front of her, Zeng Xiaoxiao finally believed that she had escaped from famine.

"Okay, from now on, you and Qiu'er Ping'er will serve me together."

"Thank you madam, thank you madam."

When Qiaoer heard this, she was so excited that she didn't know why.

She stuffed the remaining half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth at once.

Afterwards, he briefly wiped his hands on his body a few times, and bowed.

"you are welcome."

"Qiu'er, you can make arrangements for her."

Zeng Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said as a gesture.

"Okay, miss."

After finishing speaking, Qiu'er led Qiao'er down.

"Madam, you are really kind."

Mu Chuqian held Zeng Xiaoxiao in his arms, and then said.

"She is also a poor person. If I can't help her, she will definitely die."

Zeng Xiaoxiao sighed, and then sat down.

She sorted out the ledger in front of her, checking the amount on it over and over again.

I do not know how long it has been.

All I know is that Zeng Xiaoxiao has already drank three cups of tea.

Mu Chuqian, on the other hand, was reading a book by Zeng Xiaoxiao's side.

"Miss, look, Qiaoer."

Qiu'er led a woman with a pretty face and a slender figure over.

If Qiu'er hadn't reminded her that this was Qiao'er, Zeng Xiaoxiao would never have recognized that this was the dirty girl just now.

I saw clean clothes and a handsome face.If you haven't seen her before, you will definitely think that she is an ordinary girl with a stable life.

Everyone was slightly surprised when they saw her appearance.

Even Mu Chuqian's eyes froze.

"What a beauty."

Zeng Xiaoxiao said sincerely.

"Miss, Qiaoer will serve you wholeheartedly in the future, and Qiaoer will never forget your great kindness."

She kowtowed three times.

Unexpectedly, this weak girl in front of me would know how to be grateful.

She couldn't help feeling a little moved.

"Get up, live a good life in the future, that is the greatest reward for me."

She helped Qiaoer up and said to her with a smile.

"Qiu'er, don't bully her in the future, and take care of her like a younger sister."

Zeng Xiaoxiao pretended to be sullen, and gave Qiu'er instructions.

"Miss, when did I bully someone?"

Qiu'er muttered and said very dissatisfied.

Zeng Xiaoxiao laughed out loud when she saw her angry appearance.

"Ping'er, look, the lady bullies me too."

Qiu'er was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Zeng Xiaoxiao, so she could only ask Ping'er for help.

"You deserve it, you bully me every day."

Ping'er did not help Qiu'er, but bullied her together with the young lady.

Ping'er's behavior made Qiu'er stomp her feet in anger.

Qiaoer was amused and laughed.

"Go down first, I have something to say to the prince."

After they left, Zeng Xiaoxiao looked serious.

"Did you tell the emperor about the flood in the Yellow River and the donation?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao asked.

"said."

"What does the emperor say?"

"The emperor agreed, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that father is a bit old and cunning."

"Oh? Old and cunning? What do you say?"

"Father said that this method is okay, but it must be done in my name."

"Your name? Can you appoint officials?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't understand that Mu Chuqian was currently working in the Ministry of War, mainly dealing with military affairs, and the appointment and dismissal of officials had always been carried out by the emperor himself.

Could it be?Did the emperor give this power to the prince?

still?

The emperor wants to train Mu Chuqian as the crown prince?

Zeng Xiaoxiao shook his head.

It's impossible.

Concubine Jing is currently very powerful in the court.

The emperor can't do that.

If this is done, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the court.

"Stop guessing."

Mu Chuqian saw what Zeng Xiaoxin was thinking.

"That is how the matter?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao asked.

"Father feels that promoting officials through donations will create a bad atmosphere in the court. Therefore, Father said that I should come forward to deal with this matter."

Zeng Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised.

She thought about whether the emperor would refuse.

She also thought about what she would do if the emperor agreed.

She never expected the emperor's behavior.

"It seems that father has his plan."

Zeng Xiaoxiao thought so.

"Father just wants me to take the blame."

"Actually, this is also an opportunity for you."

Zeng Xiaoxiao expressed what was in his heart.

"If the court ministers know that the appointment and removal of the officials you are in charge of is only temporary, they will definitely wonder in their hearts whether the emperor intends to make you the heir apparent. In this way, more and more people will come to your camp. And Eldest Prince, when they see our side gaining power, they will definitely take action. We can take this opportunity to wipe them all out."

Zeng Xiaoxiao frowned and said.

"Originally, I was also very helpless about Father's behavior. Now when I hear you say it, I instantly feel that I have got a great opportunity."

Mu Chuqian hugged Zeng Xiaoxiao, and he kissed her.

Don't be stingy with your compliments.

"Guess what the eldest prince is doing at this time?"

Mu Chuqian laughed.

"What else can you do? You must be angry. The emperor has given you the power to appoint and dismiss officials."

"Haha, maybe."

On the other side, in Prince Cong's mansion.

"Mother and concubine, tell me, why didn't my father make me the crown prince?"

Mu Chucong anxiously walked up and down in front of Concubine Jing, with Chu Jianguo and Chu Jiaojiao beside him.

Liu Ruxuan was at the side, pushing her back for Concubine Jing.

"Mom, are you tired?"

Chu Jiaojiao cared about Liu Ruxuan.

Feeling Liu Ruxuan's complexion was not good, Chu Jiaojiao was very distressed.

"Mother is not tired."

Saying that, Liu Ruxuan switched hands and continued pinching.

"You are talking, mother concubine."

Mu Chuqian was upset, and asked Concubine Jing again.

"Don't make noise! ​​Let Ben Gong think about it."

Concubine Jing frowned.

She never expected that the emperor would give Mu Chuqian the power to appoint and remove officials.

This means that the emperor intends to make Mu Chuqian the heir apparent?
No no no, this is absolutely impossible.

"Cong'er, don't worry, Concubine Mu will go and find out what's going on right away."

Concubine Jing comforted Mu Chuqian, but her heart was already in turmoil.

She felt that ever since Zeng Xiaoxiao and Mu Chuqian got closer, the situation was becoming more and more out of her control.

In particular, Mu Chuqian has now become the top leader of the Ministry of War.

Even the appointment of officials, the emperor can trust him.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor really believes in Mu Chuqian or not.

It doesn't matter what the emperor's purpose is.

It seems that making Mu Chucong the crown prince was no longer a sure thing.

"Concubine Jing, according to this minister, the emperor's move is nothing more than the problem of flooding in the Yellow River."
