Tracing Office

Zhou Yuyun stayed in the end.He stayed up all night, and finally knelt down to accept the imperial decree when it came the next day.However, since Chen himself is mediocre, it is really inappropriate for him to be appointed to the job, but he has read a lot of books in the past few years, so it is better to go to the Hanlin Academy to study.Qin Youyuan knew that this was Zhou Yuyun's concession, so he agreed.

This point has attracted a lot of praise for Zhou Yuyun.At least no one said that he was not promoted properly, and that he was suspected of being a sycophant.

Yang Zichen didn't care to avoid suspicion, and rushed to Zhou's house immediately after hearing the news.

He was a little tired, and more worried about his friends: "Yu Yun, what happened?"

Zhou Yuyun didn't speak, he really didn't know how to explain it to his friend.He didn't know how to face his parents and wife.

Did you tell them that His Majesty used people he cared about to coerce him into submission just to keep him in the capital as an official?Not to mention whether others believe it or not, even he himself doesn't know whether this is Qin Youyuan's sincere words or his method of boiling frogs in warm water.

He couldn't say it.

In the final analysis, it was because of my misconduct back then that led to the current situation.

"Zichen. Go back, don't ask anything, and don't come to me again."

"Your Majesty is threatening you with the safety of others?" Yang Zichen immediately thought of the key point, and his face changed suddenly: "As the king of a country, is it true that His Majesty is acting so recklessly?! Yu Yun, this matter cannot be resolved by compromise , is it possible that you really took advantage of this life to be his twin pet?"

"Things haven't reached that point yet, he said as long as I stay in the capital as an official." Zhou Yuyun said in a low voice.

"Do you believe it?" Yang Zichen sneered: "You compromised this time, and he will use this to blackmail you next time, asking you to accompany him in the palace, what should we do?"

"Now I can only see the tricks. At this point, it is absolutely impossible for me to have anything to do with him. If it really comes to that point, it is just a dead word."

Yang Zichen patted Zhou Yuyun's shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.

When the news spread to the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Roujia left quickly and arrived in the capital in ten days.

Zhou Yuyun didn't want Xie Roujia to come.If Qin Youyuan really made up his mind not to let him go, then Qin Youyuan might be disadvantageous to Xie Roujia.

Zhou Yuyun said with some blame: "Didn't I write a letter asking you to stay in Jiangnan?"

"I said long ago that if my husband doesn't come back in three months, I will come to Beijing to find you." Xie Roujia was not afraid of him at all: "Besides, my husband is here, what am I doing alone in Jiangnan."

Thinking of their March appointment, Zhou Yuyun looked downcast: "I'm sorry, Roujia, I broke my promise."

Xie Roujia walked over and gently hugged Zhou Yuyun's head: "We are one husband and wife, so don't ever say sorry to me."

Zhou Yuyun clenched her fists: "I'm the one who burdened you. I made you face such an embarrassing and dangerous situation. If you stay in the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

"Don't say such things. Husband, I knew these things a long time ago, didn't I? When I married you willingly, I thought that this day would come. You have never been sorry to me. On the contrary, these years, you piled Everything is on my mind. I am living a good life, and there is no more happy life than these years. I leave Nan'er with Jiangnan's parents-in-law and let him fulfill our filial piety on our behalf. No matter how much wind and rain there is in the capital , I’ll be with you. I’m not afraid of anything.”

Zhou Yuyun accepted the order and naturally took up the post.

On this day, Zhou Yuyun went to the Imperial Academy as usual.

Not long after he left, a guest suddenly came to the door.The old servant of the Zhou family took a look at the visitor, his face paled in shock, he welcomed the distinguished guest in, and immediately ran to the backyard to inform the young lady.

After Xie Roujia heard this, she didn't appear flustered at all: "Don't make a fuss, and don't send someone to disturb your husband's business. I'll go see this honored guest."

Xie Roujia changed into a suit for hospitality, dressed up simply, and headed towards the front hall.

Xie Roujia entered the flower hall, knelt down and made a big salute: "My wife, Mrs. Zhou, has seen Your Majesty."

There was silence in the flower hall for a while before she heard a low voice.

"Madam Zhou, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Roujia stood up without raising her eyes, and waited with her head down.

Qin Youyuan carefully looked at Xie Roujia.No matter how many important officials in the court, when he was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.The woman in front of her knew that she was afraid that the visitor would be unkind, but she remained calm and composed.

Really extraordinary.

Qin Youyuan looked at it for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "Xie Shiroujia, you have really admired your name for a long time, like thunder."

"How dare you be praised by His Majesty for being a girl."

"Although you are a female class, you are better than half of the men. Since you are not afraid of me, why do you have to act like this?" Qin Youyuan pointed to a seat: "You sit down. Brother Yun from the province came back and said that I was tired of his Beloved wife."

After hearing Qin Youyuan's address, Xie Roujia's expression didn't change a bit, and she sat down obediently.

"I came here just to see what kind of woman Xie Shi Roujia is. He often talked about you when he was young, so I just wanted to see what kind of person you are. Unfortunately, I never had the chance. "

"It's just an ordinary woman."

"Ordinary women?" Qin Youyuan smiled playfully: "Ordinary women can't make me suffer so much."

Xie Roujia laughed.

"What? Are you going to tell me that there is no shadow of you in what happened back then? I know that you were not the one chosen by the emperor at the beginning." Qin Youyuan sneered.

Xie Roujia looked a little disapproving and disapproving: "No matter what my wife says, your majesty will be suspicious. Even if you tell your majesty clearly what your majesty has done, your majesty will still think that your majesty has done more things. More calculations and plots."

"Don't you?" Qin Youyuan said coldly: "At the beginning, I was concerned about it, and I didn't notice the strangeness. After these years, the more I thought about it, the more I became suspicious. Father is not a murderous and tyrannical king, and I am just One of the dozens of princes, how could the father plan to kill Zhou Shangshu's only son just because I was the only one? And, how could it be such a coincidence that I saw that secret book?!"

"At the beginning, I only thought that Father was trying to test me. But now that I think about it, Father Sheng Gang is arbitrary. If he made a decision, he would never be so negligent and be discovered by me."

Qin Youyuan's emotions became more and more agitated, and he even forgot what he called himself "Zhen".

Even in the face of such emperor's wrath, Xie Roujia still smiled: "Your Majesty thinks these things are done by the minister's wife?"

"You don't have to call yourself a minister's wife, just tell me." Qin Youyuan's face flashed a trace of disgust, he didn't answer Xie Roujia's question, but his demeanor was tacit.

Xie Roujia was amused in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she said: "Yes. There is an obvious omission in Your Majesty's deduction. I am just the youngest daughter of the Xie family. After all, she is just a weak woman, how can she get in touch with the late emperor's secret book, and play with you who was so powerful at that time? I don't have that ability at all."

Xie Roujia shook her head: "No, it can't be said to be an omission. It's not that His Majesty didn't think of this, but this is the answer His Majesty most hopes for. Your Majesty just hopes that I did all of this."
