Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Seeing that Gu Xiling was angry, Zhou Jin hurriedly coaxed her, "Cooking porridge requires patience, so you have to be calm. If you are impatient, you won't be able to make thick rice porridge?"

"Isn't it the same when we do things? We should not be impatient or anxious, so that we can discover the essence of things and find ways to solve problems."

"No wonder my wife always said, 'I'm anxious, anxious, what's the use of being anxious?' It seems that my wife knows the art of making porridge very well, that's why she is so insightful."

Gu Xiling listened to Zhou Jin's explanation and thought about it carefully. It made sense. It was really difficult for Zhou Jin.

"Yes, I accept this explanation." Gu Xiling nodded, "Prince, eat quickly and go back to lie down early. Although you can lean on Lai Fu, you still need to exert force, which is not good for the recovery of your legs."

After hearing this, Zhou Jin finished his porridge in a few mouthfuls, handed the bowl to the maid, rinsed his mouth, patted Lai Fu, and said, "Carry me back to the room."

Lai Fu did as he was told, and Zhou Jin lay back down on the bed.

After eating the porridge, Gu Xiling went to see how the dried meat was cooked outside. Zhou Jin took this opportunity to lie down instead of lying on his side.

Just baked one batch, the taste is a bit salty and a bit fishy, ​​but not strong enough to affect the taste.

A little hard, but tastes pretty good.

Gu Xiling ate a piece of dried meat and said, "Not bad, just do it this way. Put it in a dry and cool place and it will be fine for half a month. In winter, it will be even longer."

Aunt Li smiled happily, "What the prince's wife said is right, it tastes really good. I have bad teeth, so I can eat a piece of it for a whole afternoon. But these children have good teeth, so they enjoy eating it."

At this time, each child had a piece of dried meat in his hand.

Gu Xiling carefully looked at the children and saw that they had washed their hands. She nodded and said, "Children, eat more dried meat so that they can grow taller and stronger. But before eating, you must wash your hands to avoid getting sick."

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly with gratitude in her eyes. Their village was safe and sound despite the flood this year.

"The prince requires the villagers to wash their hands before and after meals and drink boiled water. The chicken and pig pens must be cleaned in time and quicklime must be sprinkled. So many people in other villages are sick, but our village is fine. It is all thanks to the master's grace."

When Gu Xiling heard this, she thought about how Zhou Jin could get up in the middle of the night to guard the wheat, which showed that he really cared about the farmers and their crops.

Now everyone in the village knew that the prince valued the wheat, so they built fences around the wheat fields. Whenever there was water in the fields, they would use basins to carry the water out.

Because of this, other crops were flooded and became listless, but the wheat was growing well.

Unexpectedly, they were harmed by wild boars, which made Zhou Jin and the farmers heartbroken!

Gu Xiling went to the wheat field specifically to take a look and was very satisfied.

Zhou Jin’s efforts and hard work were not in vain!

Gu Xiling stayed outside until dark before returning home and sitting with Zhou Jin for a while. "My dear, I didn't sleep well at night, and it would be bad if I kicked you. I'll go to the guest room to sleep."

"My lady, please go to bed early." Zhou Jin was reluctant to let Gu Xiling go, but his body did not allow it, so he could only watch her leave.

When his leg heals, he won't do anything.

Wedding night first!

Gu Xiling has been busy lately and hasn’t gotten much sleep.

Now that the matter was settled, Zhuangzi felt cool on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

The Changning Marquis' Mansion learned that Zhou Jin had a fractured calf bone, but Doctor Liu said it was not serious, so the old lady and Mrs. Song were relieved.

After all, Doctor Liu used to be a military doctor. He might not be good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, but he is very good at treating knife wounds and bone injuries.

With Gu Xiling there with me, I have less to worry about.

It is said that Emperor Kangping did not sleep all night in the imperial study last night.

When Xu Cheng of Jinlin Guard replied that he had captured Prince Ning and his close followers who had surrendered, Emperor Kangping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xu Cheng, interrogate all the followers of Yue State and Prince Ning in the capital. Leave no one alive."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Cheng went down.

"Wait!" Emperor Kangping said, "Where is the Marquis of Changning?"

Xu Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, after Prince Ning was arrested, Marquis Changning hurried back home. There is a traitor in the family who will be sent to the Jinlin Guard Office tomorrow."

"Yes!" Emperor Kangping nodded. "You and Marquis Changning have made great contributions to this matter. Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Cheng thanked him and left respectfully.

Not long after Xu Cheng left, Huang Bing came in and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Speak!" Emperor Kangping's brows relaxed. His biggest worry had been solved and he could sleep peacefully now.

Huang Bing replied respectfully: "The uncle of the emperor instructed Zhao Xiang, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, to issue a document to search the Changning Marquis's mansion and let Pang Ming, the right guard of the imperial guards, search it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangping's face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up from the dragon throne, "Asshole, how could he act like this?"

Just now, Marquis Changning had done a great service for him, but now his house was raided by the Imperial Guards.

Huang Bing saw that Emperor Kangping was furious, and hurriedly continued, "Your Majesty, calm down. The uncle did not succeed in his mission! Just when Pang Ming asked to search the mansion, the old lady of Changning Marquis took out the gold medal of loyalty and bravery bestowed on the old marquis by Emperor Taizu."

"The uncle was still afraid. He saw the gold medal holders trespassing without the emperor's order. He was guilty of treason, so he immediately ordered them to withdraw!"

After hearing Huang Bing's words, Emperor Kangping breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Marquis Changning's Mansion was searched, even if the Eight Ox Crossbow was not found, it would certainly chill the hearts of loyal officials.

The women in the Changning Marquis's Mansion were frightened and had a very bad impact.

Emperor Kangping thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xiang, the deputy leader of the Imperial Guard, and Pang Ming will be demoted three levels and severely investigated."

"As for the uncle of the emperor, continue to reflect on your mistakes for a month. Also, spread the word that this was instigated by the uncle of the emperor."

Uncle Li knew clearly about the collusion between Prince Ning and the State of Yue, but he did not report it.

Instead, for his own selfish reasons, he took the opportunity to deal with Changning Hou Zhou Ze and eliminate dissidents.

Although the prince does need the support of his uncle, the power of the maternal relatives is great. Who can guarantee that the prince's uncle does not have rebellious intentions?

The way of an emperor is balance.

This time, Emperor Kangping did not cover up for Uncle Li. Since he dared to do it, he would just have to wait for the counterattack from the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

At the same time, there should be a force in the court that is strong enough and wise enough to suppress the king's uncle.

Let the two parties check and balance each other, and eventually the emperor will sit in the middle, which is equivalent to reaping the benefits.

When Huang Bing heard this, his heart was trembling. This time the emperor was angry!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away." Huang Bing agreed. At this time, he also felt that Li Guo had made a bad move.

Now, Uncle Li has given us evidence.

The Marquis of Changning's Mansion has made great contributions and has been favored by Your Majesty.

In addition, Zhou Jin, the son of Marquis Changning, has also caught His Majesty's eye, and he wants to train him to be an assistant to the Crown Prince.

All the high-ranking officials from noble families in the capital, as well as anyone with a bit of power, who should know about what happened last night, know about it.

The fact that the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Xiang, and the right guard, Pang Ming, were demoted three levels in a row is enough to prove His Majesty's attitude.

Li Guojiu was reprimanded by the court and lost all face.

He not only hated Changning Hou Zhou Ze, but also resented Emperor Kangping.
