The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 228 Kind Reminder
Not long after Si Heng and Qin Ruo finished their conversation, Old Lady Xie and Nanny Zhang and her group also arrived from Taihe County.
Before Old Madam Xie had time to return to her own house to take a breath, she rushed to the Qin family.
"Ruo'er, you don't have to worry too much about the enthronement ceremony. You have made an invaluable contribution to the successful planting of the new grain. Just wait for the people from the Ministry of Rites to pick you up. Speaking of which, the emperor's birthday is coming soon, and I, as the emperor's sister, have not been back to the capital for many years. This is a good opportunity to go back. After your enthronement ceremony is over, we will return to Ganzhou together."
The main reason why Old Madam Xie came here was to inform Qin Ruo that she would go to Beijing with her.
On the day of harvesting the new grain, Mrs. Xie also went to watch the ceremony and then returned to Taihe County.
Today, she heard the news that the emperor summoned the Qin family to Beijing. She was afraid that Qin Ruo would feel uneasy, so she rushed back.
Although Madam Xie is far away from the capital, she has in her hands the most elite secret guards given to her by the late emperor. This force should not be underestimated in the capital.
Therefore, even though she was far away in Taihe County, she was still well-informed.
He knew everything about the attitudes of court officials at Qin Ruo's enthronement ceremony, as well as recent developments in the court.
The ladies of the imperial court in Beijing were good at abusing their power for personal gain and were naturally snobbish. Old Madam Xie could not bear to see Qin Ruo being wronged in Beijing.
If I hadn't followed him back to Beijing, he would have really thought that there was no one behind his Ruo'er.
Especially after hearing what Shen Junxing said in the court, Old Lady Xie was so angry that she laughed. The Shen family had no eyes to recognize the gold and jade, and they would regret it one day.
"Madam, you don't have to travel all the way back to the capital just for me. This long journey is too tiring. I will take good care of myself." Qin Ruo held Madam Xie's hand with a smile on her face.
The old lady came back to Beijing saying that she was celebrating the emperor's birthday, but actually she was worried about herself. She understood it all.
When Si Heng confessed his true feelings to her, he also told her the truth.
Qin Ruo felt a little distressed unconsciously for Old Madam Xie, who had gone through so many hardships but remained calm.
The reason why Old Madam Xie came to Taihe County from the capital was obviously because she was tired of the struggle for imperial power.
Now, she was worried about herself so she returned to Beijing on her own initiative, back to the place that made her feel bored.
Qin Ruo naturally didn't want to thank the old lady for finally having a few days of peace because of her, only to be thrown back into the vortex again.
"Ruo'er, you underestimate me, don't you? Ever since you took care of my body, I've become much stronger than before. Besides, I also want to see your enthronement ceremony with my own eyes. How much trouble is that? It's settled, we'll go to the capital together when the people from the Ministry of Rites arrive."
Old Madam Xie patted Qin Ruo's hand in a reproachful manner, with a loving look on her face.
In the past, she really couldn't stand the running back and forth, but now it's no problem at all.
After Si Heng had cured the poison in her body, her mood also improved a lot. In addition, the conditioning prescriptions prescribed by Qin Ruo were very effective, and all the minor ailments she had suffered before disappeared.
Madam Xie had another purpose for coming back this time, which was to ask Madam Zhang to teach the Qin family the palace rules and etiquette.
When Qin Ruo went to Beijing this time, she would inevitably have to deal with the dignitaries and court ladies in the capital.
If you learn the most basic palace rules and etiquette, at least you won't be rude in front of others, nor let those self-important noble ladies in the capital look down on you.
Nanny Zhang grew up in the palace and is familiar with all the palace rules and etiquette, so she is the most suitable person to teach.
After Madam Xie finished her instructions, she took Nanny Zhang and left the Qin family.
Qin Ruo, Banxia, Xundong and others went back to Taihe County.
She first inspected the stores under her name and asked the shopkeepers about their recent business conditions.
He also brought some food that Jiang Tang liked, went to the government office, and visited Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Tang.
A few days ago, Jiang Tang stayed at the Qin family for seven or eight days, and was reluctant to leave when Madam Jiang sent someone to take him back.
Of course, Jiang Tang’s plan to build a house in Changhe Village naturally came to nothing.
Magistrate Jiang's transfer order should come down next year at the latest. It is a foregone conclusion that he will return to Beijing to take up his post. It is unrealistic to build a house in Changhe Village.
Mrs. Jiang and her daughter were very happy to see Qin Ruo visiting.
After County Magistrate Jiang talked to her about it that day, Mrs. Jiang accepted it very quickly. Although it was a pity that Qin Ruo could not be his daughter-in-law, it was also a rare fate that Qin Ruo and his daughter could become friends.
As soon as Qin Ruo sat down, Madam Jiang enthusiastically ordered the servants to bring tea and snacks. The three of them chatted and laughed while sipping tea in the backyard of the yamen.
Mrs. Jiang knew that Qin Ruo was going back to Beijing.
As family members of officials, they are more sensitive to court affairs than ordinary people.
Mrs. Jiang thought more about other things.
Halfway through the conversation, Mrs. Jiang found an excuse to get Jiang Tang away, wanting to remind Qin Ruo something.
"Princess, allow me to say a few words. The capital is full of powerful people and their minds are unpredictable. Some things should be planned in advance..."
"Madam Jiang, if you have something to say, just say it." Qin Ruo remained expressionless and motioned for Madam Jiang to continue.
When she saw that Madam Jiang deliberately sent Jiang Tang away, she knew that what Madam Jiang wanted to say was probably not a simple matter.
Madam Jiang sighed and said earnestly, "The princess is very beautiful and is at the right age to discuss marriage. The situation in the capital is complicated. I am worried that someone will use this to stir up trouble and put you in a disadvantageous position..."
Qin Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this.
Even Mrs. Jiang could see that this trip was full of turmoil. It seemed that some things were unavoidable.
What Madam Jiang said was true. In the face of the interests of the royal family, a princess from the common people was ultimately just a pawn.
Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt a chill in her heart when she heard Mrs. Jiang speak so bluntly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Jiang. I will be careful..." Qin Ruo took a sip of tea and thanked Mrs. Jiang for her kindness.
Qin Ruo was thinking that if the emperor really wanted to use marriage to control her, she would not be completely without a solution.
All areas of the space have been unlocked so far, and she has more cards to play.
If one day, Qin Ruo really had to turn against the leader of Da Sheng, she would not be without a way out.
This great prosperity cannot trap her.
Mrs. Jiang sighed silently. She originally wanted to hint to Qin Ruo that it would be better for her to settle the marriage with Si Heng before going to the capital.
In this way, at least a lot of unnecessary trouble and calculations can be avoided.
But on second thought, this was Qin Ruo's private matter after all, and it was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to mention it without permission.
Moreover, her relationship with Si Heng had never been made public, so it would be inappropriate to bring it up rashly.
Another thing is that the marriage of princes has always been involved with many forces and interests in the court. Even though Si Heng is a prince, he still needs the emperor's approval and the court's consideration.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Qin Ruo, who seemed to have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, and she could only worry.
