The Way of the Consort

Chapter 5 Casting a Net

When he finally came out of the East Palace, Ji Zhao almost lost half his life, his muscles ached from laughing.This is when you haven't seen yourself face to face. If you see yourself, you not only need to laugh, but also need to be sincere and full of emotions. His person will really disappear.

Princess Fuchen was very excited. Ji Zhao didn't know that Princess Fuchen was delighted with the changes in her life. She was finally able to restore her relationship with the emperor. In the eyes of the princess, the sky was so blue and the clouds were so white.

Ji Zhao was listless, one was tired, and the other was worried. He didn't know what job this crown prince would assign to him?

At the gate of the palace, Ji Zhao was about to get on the horse when Princess Fuchen stopped him and invited him to sit in the carriage with him.

Ji Zhao didn't really want to ride in the carriage with her, but the eunuchs from Yanfu Palace and the East Palace were ordered to come out to see them off, and they were watching from behind, so he just smiled and got on the carriage.

Princess Fuchen's maids got out of the car, and they were the only ones in the car.

Ji Zhao sat far away from Princess Fuchen, and the car drove towards the princess mansion. Princess Fuchen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Does the son-in-law have any plans in mind for the errand? What does the son-in-law want to do?"

Since Ji Zhao was destined to be emperor, she wanted to help him from the very beginning.

Ji Zhao still said the same thing: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Princess make arrangements for me."

Princess Fuchen bowed her head in embarrassment, and said softly: "My son-in-law, my name is Zongyi, you and I are already husband and wife, so you don't need to be so careful with me."

Ji Zhao was almost scared to death, what did he mean by saying such a thing suddenly?Is it possible to consummate the room tonight?

Ji Zhao didn't dare to speak anymore, Princess Fuchen pulled the handkerchief, lowered her head even lower, and said like a mosquito, "Father and brother have chosen you to be my son-in-law. I am very happy in my heart."

Ji Zhao's hands started to shake, don't be happy, and don't consummate the house!

"It's just... well... there are some unspeakable reasons, I, I may—" Princess Fuchen gritted her teeth, embarrassed to say the rest, but she always said, she continued to snort, "Maybe I can't be with the son-in-law... ...round house..."

Her voice was extremely low for the last two words, but Ji Zhao still heard them.

The rest of my life!Ji Zhao let out a sigh of relief, Fu Chen looked up at him, Ji Zhao immediately said seriously, "Princess is a king, and minister is just a servant, don't worry, princess!"

Princess Fuchen pulled the veil again: "I, I may not always call you to the princess mansion..."

Mother, this is so good!He also doesn't want to flatter a stranger every day in the Princess Mansion!

Ji Zhao suppressed the joy in his heart, and continued to be serious: "All the ministers listen to the princess!"

"It's just...every five or six days, maybe I have to invite my son-in-law to the Princess Mansion..."

Ji Zhao understood too well, it was obvious that the princess didn't like him either, but in order not to worry her father and brother, she wanted to make a good relationship!If it is said that Ji Zhao was still extremely worried when he first wore it, but at this moment, a big idea finally came to fruition, and an arranged marriage hit a noble daughter from the Tian family. It is really great that the princess can get along so calmly!

He complied naturally, Princess Fuchen still had something to say: "If the son-in-law has a favorite woman...you can tell me..."

"Huh?" Ji Zhao was confused.

"I, I can take her as a concubine for the son-in-law..."

Ji Zhao was speechless, this princess is too nice... He almost blurted out, then princess, if you have a man you like, tell me too, I don't care at all!Fortunately, he was still sober, and he said something he shouldn't have said in a daze. He said seriously: "Princess, don't make such a joke, Ji Zhao is not such a person!"

Princess Fuchen whispered: "I'm sorry..."

The princess even apologized to him?

Ji Zhao's impression of Princess Fuchen was even better, a noble daughter of the Tian family, such a personality is not easy!It seems that there is no need to worry about the quarrel between the two in the future!

Ji Zhao hurriedly said: "Princess, don't worry. You are worried, and the ministers all understand. Ji Zhao will definitely cooperate with the princess as much as possible, and Ji Zhao will not have any woman he likes!"

It's too late for him to play, how can he have time to like women?

Princess Fuchen looked up at him, even with a grateful expression on her face, as if she was relieved.

Ji Zhao also looked at her, and the two smiled at each other, feeling joyful that they had secretly successfully reached some kind of secret agreement.

When Princess Fuchen spoke again, she became much more relaxed: "My son-in-law, you can call me by my name directly, and my father calls me Xi'er."

"This is disrespect..." Ji Zhao didn't dare, what if the prince went crazy?He can't leave anything behind, and must respect Princess Fuchen.

"Then, the son-in-law can call me Fu Chen, that's my title, my brother also calls me that, so don't call yourself a "Chen" anymore. "

It's not good to completely lose face to the princess, Ji Zhao agreed.

Fuchen asked again: "My son-in-law, do you have words?"

Ji Zhao was stunned for a while before he realized that he was famous, but he hadn't taken his name yet. After all, he was only 16 years old, so he shook his head.

Fu Chen smiled and said: "In the future, I will ask my brother to choose a name for the son-in-law."

"..." Ji Zhao really didn't want it, but he couldn't refuse Princess Fuchen, so he had to laugh.

"My son-in-law, I heard that you grew up in Yangzhou Mansion?" Although Fu Chen and Ji Zhao had known each other for two lifetimes, they didn't understand anything at all. Since they wanted to get along well, they had to ask clearly.

Ji Zhao became the old ancestor Ji Zhao, there must be memories of the original Ji Zhao in his mind, he thought about it carefully, and replied: "Yes, I was taken to Yangzhou by my grandfather not long after I was born. I grew up in Yangzhou, and three months ago, I came to Jinling for the first time."

"Yangzhou, is it really as interesting as in the book?" Fu Chen asked curiously.

Ji Zhao thought about it again, and began to tell Fu Chen about Yangzhou City following the memory in his mind.

After they left, the eunuchs in Yanfu Palace and East Palace went back to report to each other.

Zong Zhen was still sitting on the original couch, listening to Bao Qing explain how Ji Zhao carefully and carefully supported the carriage on the princess, and hearing Bao Qing's meaning, he felt that the son-in-law treated the princess very well.Zong Zhen sneered in his heart, it can be seen that this person is used to acting and can easily capture people's hearts.

At this time, Cheng Shen also came back from the Yanfu Hall and reported: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has rewarded the son-in-law's house and farm, and said that His Highness will be responsible for the repairs, and you can directly send someone from the Ministry of Industry. , If the manor needs to add people, His Highness will also be responsible for buying them."

"Understood..." Zong Zhen was playing with the teacup in his hand, and asked Bao Qing, "Did you just see the people who are waiting beside the consort?"

"Today the son-in-law entered the palace without any guards. He was accompanied by the guards of the princess mansion. It is said that he has two personal attendants. One is his grandma who grew up with him. The ancestral family gave birth to a son who was given the family name Yin Ming. The other one came to him when he was five or six years old. He was his book boy at first, and later he also went out with him. He was called Chen Xing. Here you are, just stand at the back, behind the guards of the Princess Mansion."

This is a match, these two people, Zong Zhen remembers, in the last life, these two have always been by Ji Zhao's side, extremely loyal.

Yin Ming has a bright personality, and he laughs at everyone, but he can't see any thoughts in his heart.Chen Xing does look a bit like little Ji Zhao. Zong Zhen thought they were equally smart and humble. Back then, Chen Xing's name violated Fu Chen's name. Fu Chen used an excuse to kill Chen Xing to humiliate Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao begged Come to him, or he will mediate.

Thinking about it now, who knows how real and how fake Ji Zhao was back then?I just feel that the master and servant are equally hypocritical.

Zongzhen thought for a moment, and said quietly: "Since he is already a son-in-law, there can't be only these few people around him. He got married not long after he first came to Jinling, and the Ji family is like that. I'm afraid his stepmother won't take care of him, so I have to come for him. Don't worry about it, let's send a few people to serve in front of the son-in-law."

"Yes, little one, let's make arrangements."

"The newly built Pingyang Hou's Mansion, you also go to watch it yourself."

"Yes!"

"After you've chosen someone, hand me the roster to take a look. Be quick and proper."

Baoqing should all be dispatched and go out to make arrangements.

Zong Zhen used the tea lid to skim off the tea foam, and then said to Cheng Shen: "Send a few people to keep an eye on Ji Zhao. If he goes to Bailu Academy, he will come back to me immediately."

Both Cheng Shen and Bao Qing felt baffled, why did the prince attach so much importance to the son-in-law when the son-in-law came?Going to Bailu Academy and going back and forth, Your Highness?Could it be that the son-in-law is hiding some kindred spirit outside, or an outer room?Are their Highnesses going to stand up for the princess?Cheng Shen also couldn't figure it out, anyway, whatever His Highness arranged, they would do it.

Cheng Shen saluted and went out to do some business.

Only then did Zong Zhen sigh, put down the teacup, and took the medicine from the maid's hand. The bitter taste was so bitter that he frowned before he drank it.Thinking of the unwillingness in his previous life, he frowned tightly and insisted on drinking the medicine.

If you want to take revenge, you must first take care of your body.

Ji Zhao found that Princess Fuchen was very interesting, and he didn't say much, so she laughed from time to time.He couldn't help but feel that ancient women are pitiful!Even the princess can hardly travel far, and can only stay in Jinling City.

Speaking of which, he came from this era.The land of Huaxia was divided into two, with Yanjing [Beijing] as the capital in the north, and the country name was Liang.In the south, Jinling [Nanjing] is the capital, and the name of the country is Xi.The emperor of Liang Kingdom is also a Han Chinese, surnamed Liu, equal in status with Xi Kingdom, regardless of superiority or inferiority. When the emperor's birthday and other important events happen, the two countries will send envoys to each other.

Of course, it has not been so peaceful from the beginning, nor will it remain so peaceful.

It just so happens that in the past few decades, both sides have no money to fight, the soldiers are tired from fighting, and the common people are also afraid of fighting, and they are temporarily in a rare peace.

The Ji family was originally from the north, and later moved to Yangzhou. The Ji family has stayed in Yangzhou city since then, and has given birth to countless offshoots. Twenty years ago, after Zong Yue ascended the throne, he personally invited the patriarch of the Ji family at that time, Ji Zhao's grandfather, to come to Jinling to run an academy.After several invitations, my grandfather brought his descendants to Jinling City and established the White Deer Academy.

Princess Fuchen asked curiously: "Has the son-in-law ever been to the White Deer Academy?"

Ji Zhao shook his head: "Never..."

Princess Fuchen looked yearning: "I heard from my father that the admission to Bailu Academy is very strict, and Mr. Ji personally selects all of them."

Ji Zhao could only smile, he didn't know either!

Fortunately, Princess Fuchen asked even more curiously: "I heard that the Ji family was once blessed by the gods. The reason why they moved to Yangzhou and the reason why the academy was called "White Deer Academy" was also instructed by the gods? "

How did Ji Zhao know about this!Probably people made it up again!Where are there so many gods who take care of so many things all day long?To care about the life and death of their descendants is enough for the gods to be tired!

Seeing that Ji Zhao didn't know how to answer, Princess Fuchen smiled, maybe she also felt that her question was a bit ridiculous, so she stopped asking.

It just so happened that the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Princess Mansion and gradually stopped. Before Ji Zhao helped Fuchen get out of the carriage, her maid Qing Jin came and said, "Princess, son-in-law, Mr. Ji brought the whole family over to pay a visit."

"Understood..." Fu Chen turned his head and smiled at Ji Zhao, "Thanks to the consort's family."

Ji Zhao was taken aback for a while, he didn't expect to see his family so soon, he wasn't ready yet.Princess Fuchen had already supported the maid's hand to get off the carriage, so Ji Zhao had no choice but to jump off.

Ji Zhao took a deep breath, followed Princess Fuchen, and walked into the princess mansion one after another. In the main courtyard, he met his family members in this life.
