The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Looking at Jiang Wumei's beautiful eyes and eyebrows, Xiao Tong's smile grew deeper and deeper. When his palms felt warmer, he reached out and held Jiang Wumei's soft little hand.

He led her to sit on the soft couch, and Xiao Tong held her slender waist, curled his lips and said:

"Niao Niao, I plan to transfer your father back to the capital. What do you think?"

Xiao Tong was worried that she would be bored alone in the palace. If the old couple of the Jiang family could return to Beijing to take up their posts, she could also summon Old Madam Jiang to the palace to chat and relieve her boredom, so that she would at least have someone to talk to.

But since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in political affairs. When Jiang Wumei heard this, she felt that Xiao Tong was testing her again, and her teeth clenched.

Forced a smile, Jiang Wumei leaned against his chest and said in a soft voice:

"I don't understand the affairs of the court, so the emperor will make the decision."

Looking at the smile on Jiang Wumei's face, Xiao Tong felt that she was happy, but due to her status, she couldn't say it directly, so he explained briefly:

"I have already proposed a leisurely position for your father. Although the official position is not high, it is better to have leisure time.

When they return to Beijing, they will have more free time to spend with you.

As for your brother, I have decided to promote him to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Together with the Minister of Revenue, he will manage the purse of the Great Saint Dynasty for me."

Jiang Wumei's face cracked instantly, and she looked at the man above her head with suspicion and shock in her eyes.

Did Xiao Tong take the wrong medicine again?

Why are you suddenly so nice to the Jiang family?

It can't be that love for the house affects the whole family, right?!

Jiang Wumei shook off this terrifying thought and cursed three times in her heart.

Bah, bah, bah, definitely not!

That bastard Xiao Tong must be obsessed with her body.

Once his enthusiasm wears off, he might find a reason to remove the original owner's father and brother from their official positions.

If you love, you want to live; if you hate, you want to die.

Life and death is the favorite power game of those in power.

It’s better not to let the original owner’s brother and father get involved, otherwise, once she leaves, these two will be the first to suffer.

"Your Majesty, my brother has only been in the Ministry of Revenue for a short time, and I'm afraid he is not qualified for the position of Assistant Minister of Revenue.

Would you like to reconsider this?"

The emperor hated people who were disobedient the most. Jiang's father did not hold a high official position, so I won't say much about Jiang Wumei. However, Jiang Yuanzhou's position as the Minister of Revenue was too eye-catching and must be mentioned.

Otherwise, if Xiao Tong sent down the imperial edict, Jiang Yuanzhou, given his current age, would definitely not be able to get rid of the label of having relied on his sister for promotion.

Jiang Yuanzhou is very talented and may even serve in the cabinet in the future. Jiang Wumei doesn't want to tarnish his reputation.

Hearing the uneasiness in her words, Xiao Tong tightened his iron arm around her waist and said sternly:

"Niao Niao, I am not foolish or lustful, and I am definitely not the kind of emperor who makes decisions based on beauty.

I promoted your father and brother because they have real talents and are worthy of important positions.

If they did not live up to their reputation, I would not have had such an idea.

Just wait and see. In time, your brother will become a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the time comes, I will work with you to find him a suitable marriage, so that you can witness your brother's wedding with your own eyes."

Once Jiang Yuanzhou shows his potential and uses his strength to convince the old ministers, making the Jiang family a solid backing for Niao Niao, he will be able to put the matter of enthroning Niao Niao as queen on the agenda. This is Xiao Tong's ultimate goal.

Of course, the premise of this matter is that Jiang Yuanzhou is capable enough to suppress the old ministers in the court with his real ability.

Jiang Wumei was very moved by what Xiao Tong said.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t stay in the capital for that long and couldn’t see Jiang Yuanzhou’s wedding day.

Sighing in her heart, Jiang Wumei smiled brightly and charmingly:

"Then I, your Majesty, would like to thank you on behalf of my father and brother.

It is an honor for my father and brother to be valued by the Emperor."

There was no point in saying more. Xiao Tong had made up his mind, and Jiang Wumei had no choice but to flatter him.

However, before she left, she had to meet Jiang Yuanzhou and give him a reminder.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wumei straightened her waist, leaned against Xiao Tong's arm, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Since he woke up, Jiang Wumei had never asked for anything. Now, looking at the expectation in her peach blossom eyes, Xiao Tong would agree without hesitation even if she asked for the stars in the sky.

"What does Niao Niao want to do?

As long as you can say it, I will agree to it."

Xiao Tong spoke with great conviction. Jiang Wumei rolled her eyes inwardly, criticizing the man's mouth, calling him a liar, but her face showed excitement and joy.

"After I entered the palace, the Emperor appointed me as Imperial Noble Consort, and I was truly terrified.

Now my father and brother have received the emperor's favor and have been promoted one after another.

I, your humble servant, would like to see my brother and ask him to work hard in the future to repay the emperor's kindness."

How could Xiao Tong not see that Jiang Wumei was trying to cheer him up, but since she wanted to see her family, Xiao Tong would do his best to satisfy her.

"Okay, after court tomorrow, I will order Jiang Yuanzhou to come see you."

Xiao Tong kept his word. The next morning, as soon as the court was dismissed, he ordered someone to bring Jiang Yuanzhou to the imperial study.

Jiang Yuanzhou, dressed in the uniform of a fifth-rank official, followed the young eunuch into the imperial study. He looked at the handsome and awe-inspiring new emperor, lifted his robe, and knelt.

"Your humble servant Jiang Yuanzhou greets His Majesty.

Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor."

"Flat body, give me a seat."

Because Jiang Wumei, Xiao Tong was willing to give Jiang Yuanzhou some face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Yuanzhou sat down calmly on the chair, waiting for the new king's instructions.

Xiao Tong was very satisfied with his calmness and composure. After reviewing the memorial in his hand, he took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him and said:

"How are you adapting to the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Your Majesty, I feel very good.

I have benefited greatly from your generous advice, my Excellencies."

Xiao Tong nodded:

"That's good. The people left behind in the Ministry of Revenue are all veteran officials who have served the country and the people. You will soon understand something if you follow them."

In terms of age, Jiang Yuanzhou is a few years younger than Xiao Tong. It was only because he took advantage of Jiang Wumei that Emperor Xiao Tong called him brother.

At this moment, the emperor and his ministers were talking. Xiao Tong looked at Jiang Yuanzhou with the majesty of a superior, and his gaze was full of oppression.

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

After Jiang Yuanzhou agreed, Xiao Tong put the teacup aside and said to him:

"Go to Zhongcui Palace later. Niao Niao wants to see you."

wave?

The new emperor addresses his sister so affectionately?

As soon as Jiang Yuanzhou was distracted, Xiao Tong raised his eyes unhappily. Jiang Yuanzhou came back to his senses and quickly stood up and saluted:

"Your Majesty, I will be there immediately."

Looking at the happy expression on Jiang Yuanzhou's face, Xiao Tong suddenly didn't want him to go.

But thinking that Niao Niao would be unhappy if he broke his promise, he had no choice but to compromise with a gloomy face:

“After all, you are a foreign man and cannot stay in the palace for too long.

Finish talking to Niao Niao later, and then leave as soon as possible."

Hearing the displeasure in Xiao Tong's tone, Jiang Yuanzhou raised his black eyebrows slightly. Is this king's brother-in-law jealous?

Could it be that he doesn't like me having too much contact with my sister?

Finding this absurd speculation laughable, Jiang Yuanzhou agreed and left the imperial study.

Looking at his and the young eunuch's departing backs, Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, but still suppressed the urge to follow them.

If he went, Niao Niao might suspect that he had ulterior motives again. It would be better for him to wait until Jiang Yuanzhou left before going.

However, having said that, since Jiang Yuanzhou left, Xiao Tong's speed in reviewing memorials has slowed down.

In the end, he simply put down his red brush and called out to someone.

"Somebody come!"

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

The eunuch guarding outside the imperial study came in upon hearing the sound and bowed to ask.

"Send someone to Zhongcui Palace to tell me that I will be having lunch there later. Ask the Imperial Concubine to prepare it in advance."

I hope Jiang Yuanzhou will be more sensible and not wait until noon to stay in Zhongcui Palace and not leave.
