Chapter 261 Small Court
Bei Jingchu found a new person to manage her money, but the work was not completed.
The power of the crown prince of Dai Viet was terrifyingly great.
The Eastern Palace has a small court of officials that belongs exclusively to the crown prince.
For example, positions such as Zuo Shuzi, Taizi Zhanshi, You Shuzi, etc. are almost the same as Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Ling and Menxia Shizhong of the Eastern Palace.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Bei Jingchu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the emperor was afraid of the prince.
This is too much power.
The East Palace has been vacant for a long time, and the deployment of officials is almost starting from scratch.
She transferred Bei Qin to fill the position of the Crown Prince's Secretary, and the young marquis, who was promoted eight ranks, felt very happy about the benefits he had received.
The three temples were assigned to Bei Hua.
Shilue Prefecture was assigned to Lei Nian'er.
Everyone has a bright future!
Bei Jingchu even teased Lei Nian'er: "You are now equivalent to the General of the Jinwu Guards of the Eastern Palace. How can you not be considered a daughter inheriting your father's business?"
Lei Nian'er had known about her position for a long time, but she only felt the reality when she got the official order in her hands.
Bei Jingchu instructed: "Since I have appointed you, I believe you can convince the public."
"The imperial guards are all from wealthy families. Their family backgrounds are naturally not as good as yours, the daughter of a great general, but they are all proud and arrogant."
"Find a way to deal with them yourself. If you can't do it, I won't force you."
Bei Jingchu said this in a soft voice, but what she actually meant was: If you don't have the ability to sit in the seat I give you, then find someone else.
Obviously, Lei Nian'er is not stupid either.
She grasped the decree as if grasping her own future, and promised, "Your Highness has given me the fastest and most direct route."
“There’s no way I can’t do this.”
Not convinced? Just beat them into submission.
Her father's only use was in fighting wars and commanding the army. He must have learned a lot from watching and hearing about it over the years.
Lei Ning was naturally overjoyed about Lei Nian'er's promotion, and he reminded her: "You must be loyal to your master, no matter if you are beaten or scolded, even if you are suspected and framed, and feel wronged, you must remain loyal."
Lei Nian'er didn't want to listen to his meaningless teachings, and replied: "Your Highness knows best whether my daughter is loyal or not."
"Your Highness is not a fool. He can tell who is loyal and who is not."
Lei Ning: ...Nian'er seems to have an inexplicable confidence in the prince.
Seeing this, he didn't say much and asked her to go back and rest and prepare for the upcoming promotion celebration banquet.
The entire Lei family was in a joyous mood, including Lei Nian'er's sisters.
Those who are good at handling things formed a group to give gifts and congratulate Lei Nian'er.
The third sister was bullied by Lei Nan'er and became timid and cowardly, but now she is much more cheerful and can even chat with her: "In the past, when I gave my eldest sister gifts, I would give her some jewelry, hairpins, etc."
"The only difference is the craftsmanship and materials."
"Later, my elder sister joined the army, and now she is the commander of the Eastern Palace. I don't know what to give her, and my younger sister has no knowledge of weapons."
"I'm just worried that even if I spend a lot of effort to buy it, my elder sister won't be able to use it."
The fourth lady said with a smile: "Third sister, come and ask me. I have researched it. It's a pity that father didn't allow us to practice martial arts before, so only the eldest sister benefited from the prince's help."
She pretended to be indifferent but her tone was filled with regret: "If it weren't for the delay, I might have been very skilled."
Lei Nian'er didn't know how to comfort her. As a lucky one, whatever she said at this moment would sound superior.
She could only pat her hands and change the subject: "I also like it when someone gives me jewelry and cosmetics."
The third lady asked hesitantly, "But didn't my eldest sister become a military commander?"
"Sister is just a military commander, not a man."
"Who says that if you love weapons, you can't love makeup?"
"Who said that a military commander must act like a man?"
"Although I am a military commander, I am still a girl." She raised her eyebrows slightly, even with pride.
The third lady smiled happily, not knowing what she was thinking of.
But people’s joys and sorrows are not the same, and Lei Naner went crazy in his own yard again.
"How is it possible, how is it possible!"
"Where did I lose?"
"Won't she have to work hard in the military camp for many years?"
"Why did the Crown Prince make her the leader of the Ten Commanders of the Eastern Palace as soon as he arrived?"
On the table was her precious wedding invitation, and the other party was a prince of a noble family.
This has always been her hope.
Suddenly, Lei Naner tore up the wedding invitation.
After tearing it, she lay on the table crying.
"Mother - I miss you so much, Mother -"
"Mother..."
She died in the winter when she was four years old.
She was fed poisoned wine by her father himself.
Lei Naner now understood why her father did it; her mother was a criminal of treason.
But that was her mother, the person who loved her the most.
She worked hard to build up her reputation, hoping to marry into a wealthy family so that she could one day use the power of her husband's family to take revenge.
But her enemies rose to power in one step.
It's all a bubble.
......
It was a busy day as usual. Haoyue helped Bei Jingchu screen the memorials to be submitted to the Eastern Palace, and Bei Jingchu helped Aye screen the memorials to be submitted to the imperial desk.
The two children were treated like oxen and horses, doing work that was not their job.
