The Way of the Consort

Ji Chongjin had already walked towards Ji Zhao's courtyard, Princess Fuchen said anxiously: "Just say you are busy and tell him to go back!"

Only then did Ji Zhao realize that he looked at Zong Zhen in surprise, no way!Did Zong Zhen hit the mark?What do these two really have? !Seeing that Princess Fuchen was really scared, Ji Zhao really planned to call Chen Xing to go.

Zong Zhen said: "Please come over..."

"Brother!" Princess Fuchen was dissatisfied and almost stomped her feet.

Zong Zhen thought to himself that Ji Chongjin had helped him back then, which was called mutual help, and since Ji Chongjin could find him, he thought Ji Chongjin was a good person, and he could compare Pei Rong to the bottom of the ground.Seeing that Ji Chongjin was getting closer and closer, Princess Fuchen didn't want to leave, so she had to turn around and hide in Ji Zhao's bedroom.

Ji Chongjin came over, smiling as before, and didn't ask about Princess Fuchen, Ji Zhao almost thought he had misunderstood.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Ji Chongjin got up to say goodbye, but before he left, he took out a small box from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Ji Zhao, and said with a smile: "The princess must like it, please pass it on to my third brother."

After speaking, he smiled at the two of them, then turned and left.

"Uh——" Ji Zhao held the box blankly and watched Ji Chongjin leave. He suddenly realized that Ji Chongjin actually knew something?Otherwise, how could Ji Chongjin, who is so polite, give something to the princess in front of his nominal son-in-law?

Seeing his confused look, Zong Zhen guessed what he was thinking, put his arms around him, and was about to comfort him.

"He's gone?!" Princess Fuchen ran out of the bedroom excitedly.

Ji Zhao was so frightened that he was about to push Zongzhen away, Princess Fuchen said, "Don't be nervous, I know all about it."

Ji Zhao looked at her and asked stupidly, "What do you know..."

"Isn't it about you and my brother?"

"When did you know!"

"Uh, actually, I used to think it was weird, for example, my brother feeds you medicine, it's so good for you, but I didn't think about that, until I saw the two of you on the mountain that day..."

Ji Zhao asked even more stupidly: "Which one is that?"

"Uh..." Princess Fuchen looked at Zongzhen, "Can I say something?"

"Can't……"

Princess Fuchen shrugged at Ji Zhao: "You can't blame me, he didn't let me say it."

Ji Zhao realized later, and looked at Zong Zhen angrily: "You already knew!"

"I'm afraid you'll overthink—"

Ji Zhao interrupted him: "Too much!"

Zongzhen wanted to explain again, but Princess Fuchen laughed "hahaha" gloatingly.

Zong Zhen was angry: "If you laugh again, get out."

Princess Fuchen pretended to cry: "Oh my god, my brother forgot about his sister when he had a sister-in-law!"

Ji Zhao hesitated: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Princess Fuchen still wanted to tease Ji Zhao, Zong Zhen hurriedly said: "Say less, don't bully him."

Princess Fuchen spread her hands again: "Sure enough, I completely forgot about my sister."

Ji Zhao's face turned red.

After the three of them sat down to talk, Zong Zhen asked directly: "I think Ji Chongjin is pretty good, what are your plans?"

Princess Fuchen started to stir the handkerchief again, and Zongzhen said again: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. You are not indecisive. I can see that you have no intentions for him at all."

Princess Fuchen curled her lips, and Ji Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't be so direct, okay!" He said softly to Princess Fuchen, "But he's right, my eldest brother is a nice guy, you, do you like him? Or Say yes, do you like it a little?"

"I don't know..." Princess Fuchen continued to stir the handkerchief.

Ji Zhao didn't have much experience in this matter, but based on his intuition, he felt that Princess Fuchen liked Ji Chongjin, otherwise he wouldn't be entangled with this, and even hid here to avoid Ji Chongjin.Princess Fuchen is a princess. I really don't like Ji Chongjin. I hate Ji Chongjin's words. Even if Ji Chongjin is from the Ji family, you can ask the guards to teach him a lesson. Why bother?

Princess Fuchen was confused, and looked up to see the eyes of Ji Zhao and her elder brother. Although one was full of patience, the elder brother was somewhat impatient, but she knew that they were really worried about her, otherwise she would have made her and Ji Zhao reconcile long ago, maybe Is it because she is worried that she has not found support?

Feeling warm in her heart, she decided to tell her brother what had troubled her for a long time.

Neither Ji Zhao nor Zong Zhen expected that such an incident would happen to Princess Fuchen. Princess Fuchen lowered her head: "After that day, I feel very guilty. I think I broke my brother, and I can't figure it out. Why did Pei Rong lie to me, is he using me?" She looked at Ji Zhao again, "I'm sorry, you helped me find Pei Rong, but I kept it a secret. It's also because of him... I don't know what "like" is, I don't know if I can still respond to Ji Chongjin's thoughts about me..."

Princess Fuchen finished speaking intermittently, and then said to Zongzhen: "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't blame you, you are right, maybe Pei Rong really doesn't like me, he is just using me, the reason why I want to find He just wanted to ask him the reason for all this in person, and even more wanted to know who he was."

Ji Zhao and Zong Zhen looked at each other. Zong Zhen had long advocated telling Fu Chen about this matter, but Ji Zhao was reluctant.

At this time, Zong Zhen didn't speak, it all depended on Ji Zhao's own opinion.

Since Princess Fuchen has already noticed that Pei Rongxing is using her and has other plans to get close to her, Princess Fuchen must have been mentally prepared for a long time. Ji Zhao hardly hesitated, looked directly at Princess Fuchen, and said, "Actually, I I found Pei Rong."

"Ah!" Princess Fuchen immediately asked back, "When? Did he come to Jinling? Did he come to redeem the fan? Where is he?!"

Princess Fuchen asked many questions in succession, and her face was full of anxiety. Ji Zhao glanced at Zongzhen again, and said, "It is true that he came to redeem the fan, but——Princess, do you still remember that He Qiniang?"

"He Qiniang?" Princess Fuchen thought for a while, "Is that the little widow? Didn't she go back to Pingjiang's hometown?"

"No, she's dead. She's actually the spy of Liang Guo."

"Ah!" Princess Fuchen exclaimed again, her eyes widened, she was very smart, her lips were murmured, and she had already asked, "Could it be, what does she have to do with Pei Rong?"

Seeing the sadness on her face, Ji Zhao couldn't bear to continue, Zong Zhen said calmly, "You know the Lu family."

Princess Fuchen nodded: "I know, I was punished by the emperor's grandfather because of party disputes. Could it be..."

"Yes, he and He Qiniang are brothers and sisters, both descendants of the Lu family. According to my investigation, they escaped from Xi Country, and they should have been rescued by Concubine Liang of Liang State, and then sent back to Xi State."

What else does Princess Fuchen not understand?

Princess Fuchen thought of many worst situations, but it was just that Pei Rong approached her as a princess for the sake of glory and wealth. She never thought that it would be like this. She was silent for a long time, and asked Zongzhen: "Who is he?" , What has he done? Except killing Wen Guiren."

"He was close to you, and He Qiniang was close to Zhaozhao. As for what the two of them have done specifically, Zong Mi's rebellion, Qin Fa's murder, and many frictions between officials in Jinling City, and even Ji Chongyuan's upbringing. The brother and sister’s handwriting is indispensable. On the way to Liangguo, He Qiniang wanted to kill Zhaozhao, but I killed her. Pei Rong fled everywhere, and the matter of Meizhou—”

Princess Fuchen asked in pain: "Is it also related to him?"

"This matter happened because of him. We met face to face at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he was Pei Rong until I returned to Jinling and saw his face under the scarf with my own eyes. Their brothers and sisters intended to hurt me, Xiguo Guozuo. , their brothers and sisters want to kill me, father, old man Yin, and so on."

Princess Fuchen didn't speak for a long time, Ji Zhao said worriedly: "Don't be too sad, it's better to know sooner."

Princess Fuchen smiled, but it was uglier than crying. She looked up at the two of them and asked for proof: "He really went to redeem that fan?"

"Yes, the fan is here."

"May I see it."

"Okay..." Ji Zhao got up, went to fetch the box, and handed it to Princess Fuchen.

Princess Fuchen opened it, saw the fan, took it out, and looked down for a long time.

Ji Zhao, on the other hand, looked at Zong Zhen worriedly, and asked with his eyes: Does she still like that Pei Rong very much? !How to do this!

Zong Zhen embraced his shoulder and patted him reassuringly.

Neither of them spoke, but silently accompanied Princess Fuchen.

Princess Fuchen touched the gemstone on the fan. The word "祾" was carved by her own hand stroke by stroke, and she would not admit it wrong.

It turns out that Pei Rong approached her not only for the so-called glory and wealth, but also to kill her and their family?

Princess Fuchen laughed miserably. She had hidden in her heart the most beautiful and purest feelings in her two lifetimes. Is this really the case?

Finding that Princess Fuchen was about to cry, Ji Zhao whispered, "You, don't be sad, it's really good to know his true face earlier, you, don't like him in the future..."

Princess Fuchen looked up at him, and said with a sad smile: "Actually, I don't like him long ago. When I found out that he approached me with impure purpose, I thought that at least his feelings for me were true, or It's true."

"He, he came to redeem the fan! He should like you!"

"I'd rather not. Will a person who wants to kill you really have feelings for you?"

Ji Zhao didn't know what to say, so Zong Zhen patted him again.

Princess Fuchen looked at Zongzhen: "Brother, what will he do next?"

"I don't know yet. His ability to hide is too powerful. He has disappeared for a long time. He just went to Prince Zheng's Mansion. We don't know what the two of them are discussing."

Princess Fuchen thought for a while, and then said: "Brother, I have a way to lure him out."

"any solution?"

Princess Fuchen looked at Ji Zhao again: "I'm afraid you don't know that Zong Mi has gotten very close to your second younger sister recently."

Ji Zhao was shocked: "The two of them are still sticky?!" Seeing that they were puzzled, he told them what happened back then, "I didn't expect Zong Mi and this second lady to be like this, so shameless..."

Mrs. Lin should have known about it, but she must have felt ashamed, so she never told Ji Zhao about it.

"It's not all a secret among the ladies in Jinling, I always hear about it. If I come forward, Pei Rong will definitely come to see me."

Zong Zhen immediately said: "No..."

Ji Zhao also nodded: "Yes! No matter what, I can't use you as bait!"

Princess Fuchen smiled wryly: "I let him go, let me do something to make up for it, besides, I really want to ask him face to face, I want him to give me a word face to face!"

Ji Zhao can understand this kind of mood. After all, he likes it for so long and has been deceived so badly. Everyone wants an answer from his own mouth, right?But it was too dangerous, he still didn't agree, neither did Zong Zhen.

Princess Fuchen got a little anxious when she said that, and almost cried. The two of them were very at a loss, so they had to talk about this matter and discuss it later.

But Princess Fuchen has already made up her mind, she must attract Pei Rong to come forward!

Princess Fuchen was so sad, even Zongzhen was not willing to drive her sister back, so Princess Fuchen lived in Pingyanghou's mansion for the time being.On the contrary, Ji Chongjin came to the door almost every day, and he was not in a hurry if he didn't see Princess Fuchen, and would bring a small gift every day.

Princess Fuchen thought of another thing, she asked Ji Zhao: "Just treat it as my own affection, will Pei Rong harm your elder brother?"

Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, this is a problem!

On the contrary, Zongzhen comforted them: "You don't have to worry. None of the guards of the Ji family are easy to fool. They used to be masters in the inner court. Chen Keye once told me that the long-term followers of Ji Chongjin and Ji Chongyuan are not even the champion of martial arts. Trouble."

In this way, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Zong Zhen took this matter to heart, and told Chen Keye to keep an eye on Ji Chongjin's place as well.It is one thing to be capable, Ji Chongjin has never competed with the world, and the people around him may not be vigilant enough. He thinks that Ji Chongjin and Fuchen are a good match, maybe he is his future brother-in-law?He had to keep an eye on them.

Picking a date, Zong Zhen announced that because losing Zhou Liangdi was too heartbreaking, he had no intention of taking concubines in recent years.Qin Wuniang, who was previously determined to be a side concubine, was supposed to enter the palace in July this year, but now she does not need to enter the palace and can marry freely.

Zongzhen also specially rewarded Qin Wuniang with a lot of things, saying that it was to add makeup to Miss Qin, and wished Miss Qin a happy marriage as soon as possible.

The Qin family has given them a lot of face, and they don't feel regretful. The brothers and sisters of the Qin family are also very happy, and the officials have nothing to say.

Renzong originally guessed that his son didn't like Qin Wuniang very much, otherwise he would not have been in the palace until now, but he didn't believe Zongzhen's words. Can't he tell whether his son likes Zhou Liangdi?

He called Zongzhen to Yanfu Palace and asked him, "What about the Crown Princess?"

"I no longer intend to marry a girl from the Wang family as the crown princess." Zong Zhen said honestly, "Fortunately, no one knew about it except us, so I will make it clear to Wang Shouliang in private later."

"Why?!" Renzong was shocked.

"I already have someone I like."

Renzong's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Who is it?!"

Zong Zhen really wanted to tell his father immediately, but who told Fu Chen and Ji Zhao not yet reconciled?He knew his father very well.Let me ask, from ancient times to the present, from birth to death, there is only one queen, no concubines, and no emperors who have met any court ladies before they got married. How many emperors are there?

It seems that only his father is the only one.

His father may not be qualified as an emperor, but he is a qualified lover, husband and father.

Or not only the word "qualified" can be used to describe it, the father was born passionate and dedicated, and he was a typical idealist. In his opinion, emotion comes first. He is extremely emotional, even too emotional.

He fell in love with men, and he might not have children in the future, which would be unacceptable to any emperor or father.

His father could really accept it.Maybe he will be melancholy and depressed for a long time because of this, but in the end his father will definitely accept it.

However, Ji Zhao is still the son-in-law after all, and he didn't want his father to misunderstand Ji Zhao.

After Ji Zhao and Fu Chen reconciled and Fu Chen found his home, he would openly tell his father about the two of them.

Zong Zhen smiled and said, "After a while, I will tell my father."

Renzong was very interested and guessed: "Why does it take some time? Who is it? If the identity and background are not enough, it doesn't matter! Father and Emperor can accept it!"

Zong Zhen smiled again, but still didn't say anything.

Renzong didn't force him anymore, but seeing his son's smiling eyes, he was sure that this must be his son's favorite!

It was also the first time he saw such a smile in his son's eyes.

He laughed and said: "Then you have to hurry up, I'm still waiting to hold my little grandson!" Then he muttered, "Yi'er has been married for almost two years, and there is no movement..."

Zong Zhen's thoughts drifted away, the matter of the emperor's grandson was really difficult to handle.

There are so many children in the clan, and there are always outstanding children. Pick a few to raise in the palace, even Fuchen's children are fine, and finally choose the best child to adopt under your own name and become the next emperor.Therefore, he has never worried about the heir. They are all descendants of the clan. As long as he can manage this country well, he will not be ashamed of his ancestors.

It’s just that what the father said made him curious for the first time. If he had a child with Ji Zhao, he didn’t know what it would be like. Whether it’s a girl or a boy, it’s best to be like Ji Zhao. A group of little Ji Zhao.

He thought for a while, and he thought it was funny.

He can't have a baby, and Ji Zhao can't have a baby either, it's just a fantasy.

But such a thing, if you think about it, is also extremely interesting.
