Jiang Changning didn't know what was going on in the Royal Garden, so she returned to Jingyi Palace.

Aunt Fei and the maids waiting outside the main hall thought she had left something behind.

"Miss Jiang, what are your orders?" Aunt Fei stepped forward and asked.

"I'm going to trouble Qiu Wen and help me find an earthy yellow pottery vase," Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"Girl, have you chosen the flowers?" Aunt Fei looked at the flowers in her hand and asked in surprise.

"You've chosen." Jiang Changning smiled, "Flower arrangement is not a pile of flowers. You need a lot. You just need to choose the right one."

Although she intended to deal with the matter, she said it nicely and there was no need to be accused of neglecting the Queen.

"That's what the girl said." Aunt Fei smiled.

Jiang Changning entered the palace, and Qiu Wen went to the warehouse to find a pottery vase for her.

Before she came back with the pottery vase, Xie Baoyin came in with flowers, "I thought I was fast enough, but I didn't expect Sister Ning to be faster than me."

"The weather is too hot and my body is weak. I don't want to get sick from the sun, so I should come back early." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

While learning the rules at the banker's house, Xie Baoyin occasionally smelled the faint medicinal fragrance of Jiang Changning's body, and believed her words to be true, "For the sick and weak, summer and winter are the most difficult seasons to endure."

"Yes, I can't stand the heat or the cold." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

The two were chatting, and after a while Qiuwen brought the pottery vase, "Girl, you think this is feasible."

"Okay, very good." Jiang Changning smiled, paddy fields are just like this earthy color!

Xie Baoyin saw that Jiang Changning was simple and crude, using earth-yellow pottery bottles as desert paddy fields, and the strings of white flowers were like a row of egrets.

Those leaves are the summer trees, and the yellow flowers are the orioles.

"Sister Ning, is that it?" Xie Baoyin asked in shock.

"Flower arrangement is all about artistic conception, and the artistic conception is enough." Jiang Changning looked at the work she had just inserted and thought it was quite good.

Xie Baoyin was thoughtful and began to arrange flowers.

It took about half an hour before the beautiful ladies came back one after another. Most of them had flushed faces and were dripping with sweat.

A quarter of an hour later, the palace maid outside reported: "The queen has arrived, the noble concubine has arrived, and the virtuous concubine has arrived."

The three highest-ranking empresses in the harem appeared at the same time to see the flower arrangements of the show girls.

The Queen and Concubine Song both paused for a moment in front of Jiang Changning.

The two people's ideas are very different.

What the Queen was thinking was: She is indeed a stunning beauty. Who does the Queen Mother intend to give her to?

What Concubine Song was thinking was: She was indeed a stunning beauty and she must not be allowed to enter the harem.

As for Jiang Changning's flower arrangement works, they are not too bad. At least they closely adhere to the poetic content, which is much better than those where flowers are arranged like landscapes.

The queen selected the three that she liked the most, and among them was Su Wanyang.

Fei Zhen's eyes flashed slightly, and she saw that the queen was about to push Su Wanyang out.

Concubine Song also chose three people, including her cousin Song Yirou.

The Queen and Concubine Liu Xian both glanced at Concubine Song, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Does she want her cousin to enter the palace?

Concubine Liu Xian is considered the most impartial among the three. The three she selected are really good ones, and among them is Zhao Xifang.

Nine girls who have received reviews from three empresses will have the honor to share lunch with their empresses.

The three empresses left the Jingyi Palace surrounded by the palace maids and chamberlains. The chosen beauty was full of excitement. At this time, someone said: "It's lunch, not dinner, what's there to be happy about?"

"You can't even have lunch." someone replied.

The two girls started to quarrel, and Fei Zhen said with a cold face, "Someone, take them down and teach them the rules."

"Auntie, I know I was wrong. If you spare me this time, I won't dare to do it again." The two of them suddenly woke up.

"This is the palace, and the rules in the palace are the strictest. Just go down and learn the rules." Fei Zhen asked the chamberlain to drag the person out.

These two beautiful girls have always made no big or small mistakes. She has been annoying them for a long time. Today is just the day. She actually dares to say nasty things about ladies, so there is no need to keep them.

After lunch, the three beautiful ladies who went to dine with the imperial concubine and the wise concubine were all sent back. Of the three beautiful ladies who had dined with the queen, only two came back.

"The empress and Su Wanyang had a very happy conversation, so she stayed with her to have dinner with her."

Everyone knows what it means to have dinner.

"I didn't expect Su Wanyang, the little county magistrate's daughter, to fly up the branch like this."

The next day, Su Wanyang, who had served as a waiter, was also promoted to a selected waiter.

The emperor has gained two new beauties, who feel comfortable both physically and mentally and in high spirits.

But in the morning, the emperor was very unhappy.

Regarding the sea ban, the King of Jin agreed to rectify coastal security and clean up smuggling, but did not agree to a complete sea ban.

"Your Majesty, the sea is the land of fishermen and the basis for the survival of the people on the coast. Once the sea ban is lifted, the people on the coast will have no food and clothing, and they will inevitably become bandits, which will cause great harm. I would like to ask Your Majesty to think twice before doing this." King Jin

Try your best to persuade.

The emperor's expression was cold, and he only felt that King Jin was making alarmist remarks.

"Your Majesty, I think what the King of Jin said is reasonable. In order to allow fishermen to fish without fear, and in order to allow merchant ships to dock at the docks normally and trade normally, I think it is possible to form an army to protect fisheries and merchants." A military general came out.

road.

The emperor was not surprised at all that Zheng Wei would echo King Jin's words.

Zheng Wei was originally the King of Jin, and it was the Jin King's party who single-handedly promoted him.

Another general came out, it was Song Chenhu, the hussar general who was the father of Imperial Concubine Song.

"Your Majesty, I think that banning the sea is necessary to protect the fishermen and prevent them from being harmed by Japanese pirates. As for Mr. Zheng's talk about forming a new army, I think it is not necessary. A suppressing navy is enough."

"Your Majesty, the Zhenhai Navy is stationed at Jinmen and is in charge of the Bohai Sea. The Japanese pirates are rampant on the East China Sea, burning, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. It is imperative to form a new army." Zheng Wei confronted him tit for tat.

Civil servants and military generals came out one after another to express their opinions and argue endlessly.

The emperor coughed heavily. Seeing this, the chamberlain shouted: "Quiet."

The courtiers lined up and waited for the emperor's decision.

The emperor looked at King Jin and said, "This matter will be discussed later."

King Jin frowned slightly and waited to discuss it later. It seemed that the emperor had made up his mind to ban the sea.

But the sea ban is absolutely not allowed. How to break the situation?

A sea ban has been repeated for two months without being able to go, which made the emperor very angry.

When he went to Fushou Palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother at noon, the Emperor couldn't help complaining to the Queen Mother about King Jin, "In the court, none of my words can be used by him."

"I am subject to him in everything. Is he the emperor or am I the emperor?"

"Mother, if I want to kill him, I must kill him." The emperor shouted.

The Queen Mother waited for him to vent his anger before saying, "He is a prince of the clan and holds military power. It is impossible to kill him with open swords and guns."

The emperor sat down with a dejected look on his face. He also knew that it was not easy to get rid of Prince Jin.

"Then kill with a soft knife." The Queen Mother smiled sinisterly.

The emperor sat up excitedly and said, "Mother, there is a good way."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Emperor, just wait."
