The Way of the Consort

His Royal Highness brought two carts of fireworks over this time, and they set them off for a long, long time.

The small wontons and duck blood vermicelli soup were all cooked, Zong Zhen didn't want to eat them, but Ji Zhao forcefully dragged them over, the two of them sat around the small square table, with fireworks all over the sky behind them, Zong Zhen hardly ate much , watching Ji Zhao eat, Ji Zhao raised his head and smiled at him while eating: "It's delicious..."

Xia Tian was engraved in Zong Zhen's mind like this.

He didn't realize until Zongzhen came back to his senses. Ji Zhao had already eaten three bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup and two bowls of small wontons. Zongzhen frowned and was about to reprimand him when Chen Xing came over to persuade him Can't eat too much, Ji Zhao didn't want to put the bowl away, Chen Xing stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, Zong Zhen's brows tightened even more.

Chen Xing said angrily: "I really can't eat it! Be careful of food accumulation!"

Ji Zhao was not angry at all, and finally put down the bowl and spoon with a smile.

Zong Zhen thought to himself, Ji Zhao in this life, if you say he has a good temper, he can directly not give him a good face in the East Palace, and if he wants to kill him, he will kill him, dare to say anything, if you say he He has a bad temper, he is more conniving towards Chen Xing's little follower than in his previous life, and he can touch his stomach casually.

Ji Zhao smiled at Zong Zhen: "When I lived in Jinling, I didn't think it was delicious, but I missed it so much when I went out for two months."

Chen Xing withdrew his hand, Zong Zhen also looked away, and said indifferently: "Since I like it, I will take a few masters back to the mansion."

Ji Zhao immediately shook his head: "No, take it back to the mansion, it will be different, it will be interesting to eat from the stall!"

It was all fallacies, and Zong Zhen didn't bother to argue with him.

After the fireworks were over, more than an hour had passed. Not only Chen Xing persuaded Ji Zhao to go back, but Zong Zhen's followers repeatedly signaled His Highness with their eyes that they had to go back.

"I have to get up early tomorrow morning, and I'm going to have breakfast with my grandmother, and I'm going back." Ji Zhao asked Zongzhen, "Brother, how about you?"

Zong Zhen had long said: "I'm just staying here for a while. Now that I've seen you, I'm leaving now."

Ji Zhao had already guessed it, and felt a little regretful, but he still smiled and said, "You really stayed so long just to wait for me!"

"... "

Ji Zhao asked again: "Brother, where are you going this time? Back to Huizhou? Or go to another place to do business?"

"Business to..."

Ji Zhao didn't break the sandbox to ask the end, but asked again: "Do you have a house in Jinling City? I came back this time and brought you a lot of presents! I want to give it to you! Or, I will give you a house." Go to Huizhou?"

"You keep it first, and I will pick it up later."

"Okay!" Ji Zhao thought for a while, and then asked, "Brother, you often go outside, do you know Xiaoyaozi?"

Zong Zhen nodded.

Ji Zhao leaned over, smiled flatteringly and said, "I like him so much! Please help me find out where his handwritten books are sold! Also, I really want to meet him in person! But he never shows up. Do you have a way to find him?"

Zong Zhen thought about it, if he sent someone to look for it, it wouldn't be too difficult?

He nodded: "I'll help you find..."

Ji Zhao smiled even more happily: "Then I'll wait for your news!"

The two got into the car and walked back. Ji Zhao was talking all the way, telling him: "You want to write me a letter! At least write one! When you go out to do business, remember to bring me a gift! You can't Go out to have fun, forget about me as a friend!" Having said that, he turned back to Zongzhen and asked, "Brother, are we friends?!"

Zong Zhen hesitated for a moment.

Fortunately, it was dark inside the car, so Ji Zhao couldn't see his face, and he said happily, "You are my best friend!"

In Ji Zhao's view, only his best friend would do this for him!Even relatives, most of them can't do this, but they are friends who would die in the water just to save him!

Ji Zhao talked too much, and before he had finished talking, the posthouse arrived.

Ji Zhao was a little disappointed: "This is it..."

After Yin Ming found out that they were gone, he had been waiting outside the post house for a long time. When he saw the carriage approaching, he rushed over and joined Dust Xing. After knowing that there was no problem, he was relieved, and the two of them came to persuade him Get off the carriage and go back to rest. The night is too late.

Ji Zhao reluctantly jumped out of the carriage, looking back from time to time, Zong Zhen got off to see him off.

In order not to attract attention, they went back the same way, and walked back to the previous window. Ji Zhao was still chattering, but refused to go in. Finally, Zong Zhen said: "Go back..."

"Then when you go back to Jinling, you must, you must come to my house to find me!"

"Okay..." Zong Zhen responded.

Ji Zhaocai climbed in through the window again, the corner of his clothes was pulled by the branches, it was too obtrusive, Zong Zhen couldn't stand it, he put his hand on his waist, half hugged him, and carried him into the window, Ji Zhao turned his head and looked at him again. He laughed, Zong Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth, turned and left.

"Ah... just leave..." Ji Zhao stood by the window, watching the other party's figure disappear with reluctance.

Chen Xing came with a box in his arms and handed it to him: "Mr. Lang, the attendant of the Huizhou merchant gave it to me."

"What is what!" Ji Zhao immediately took it into his hand, and as soon as he opened it, he could smell the sweetness of pine nuts and sweet-scented osmanthus. When he looked carefully, the box was full of round sugar balls, made like glass, with pine nuts embedded in them. Zhao hugged the box tightly, raised his head and smiled joyfully, halfway through the laugh, he said "Oops", "I forgot to ask his name again!"

Early the next morning, they had breakfast and continued their journey.

Ji Zhao's candy box was put away again by Chen Xing. Chen Xing said solemnly: "Mr. Lang, have you forgotten when you ate too much sugar when you were young?!" It must be put away! You are only allowed to eat one a day! Otherwise, Mother Wei will find out and she will punish me!"

Ji Zhao hated it, even if he was still sitting in the carriage, he immediately wrote a letter with paper, and added a note to the letter, suggesting that "brother" give him candy next time, secretly give it, and post it immediately after writing.He is a son-in-law, even if he is away, he can write letters and send them out at will. Anyway, someone sends him a letter, but others can't. If he wants to write a letter to Huizhou merchant brother, he can only write to Huizhou. up.

In the afternoon, they arrived ten miles outside Jinling City.

There are already people waiting for them, there are quite a few people, Princess Fuchen, Ji Muzhi and Ji Chongjin and Ji Chongyuan.

Ji Zhao guessed that Father Cheap would bring his two brothers to pick them up. After all, his grandfather and grandmother came back with him, so Ji Muzhi would come to pick them up in person, but he didn't expect that Princess Fuchen would also come.

Princess Fuchen is the emperor, and her grandfather, grandmother and uncles and aunts got off the car and wanted to salute her.

Princess Fuchen hurried forward, stretched out her hand to stop her grandfather and grandmother, and said with a smile: "Grandfather and grandmother, don't be too polite! Ever since Fuchen and his son-in-law got married, they have never been to Jiangling Mansion to see them. On the contrary, Fuchen should give them The elders will not pay."

With that said, Princess Fuchen gave a junior salute to the two of them.

Rao even the grandfather and grandmother are a little scared, what about the spoiled princess?

While they were in a daze, Princess Fuchen had already saluted, raised her head, and smiled sweetly at the two of them.

Grandma saw this, and Mama Wei said a lot of good things about the princess these days, she first liked Princess Fuchen a little bit in her heart, with a smile on her face, she kept saying "yes".

Uncles and aunts brought their children to salute Princess Fuchen one after another, and each said something, all with smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Ji Muzhi, who had been waiting by the side, came forward with his two brothers. Even though Princess Fuchen was by his side, Old Master Yin still hummed unceremoniously. Mrs. Yin helped the hand of the maid beside her, turned around and Want to get in the car.

However, Ji Muzhi knelt down, kowtowed firmly, not in his usual flirtatious manner, and said solemnly: "My son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

The old man Yin was immediately annoyed, he didn't have such a son-in-law!Picking up the crutches, he wanted to knock on Ji Muzhi, but he saw that Princess Fuchen was still there.

Fu Chen winked very much, and immediately stepped aside, and made a look at Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao also walked back with her, and walked out of the crowd, obviously not caring about their business.

After the two of them walked to a few carriages, Princess Fuchen looked at him carefully up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, is the son-in-law okay?"

"It's okay, just a false alarm."

"Hey, if I knew this trip would be so dangerous, I would never let you go."

Ji Zhao also agreed with Princess Fuchen's words in his heart, but of course he couldn't say that, so he could only smile and say, "It's all right, look at me, am I doing well? Going this trip is also an exercise! I have never traveled far before, We saw a lot of beautiful scenery along the way.”

In fact, he didn't want the exercise at all.

Princess Fuchen nodded, and asked him worriedly: "Do people in Prince Zheng's Mansion still respect you?"

In all fairness, Princess Fuchen is really a very good person, and Ji Zhao spoke with a little more sincerity: "The Fifth Young Master and I were friends before, and now it seems that there is no difference. They are both reasonable people and will not take anger For me, don't worry, Princess."

Of course, Princess Fuchen knew how Ji Zhao came to power in her previous life, and she was afraid that there would be a gap between him and Zong Mi, which would affect Ji Zhao's future affairs.Hearing what Ji Zhao said, at least he felt relieved, and then he smiled: "Then I'm relieved." Then he said, "How long will my grandfather and grandmother stay in Jinling? According to the emperor's intention, I also want to invite the two of you." The old man is going to the palace, and our two families will have a meal together."

Ji Zhao said quickly, "The two elders plan to live in Jinling forever."

"Great!"

Although they are married couples, they have been getting along very well. They haven't seen each other for more than two months, and they have a lot to say. When their grandfather was angry with Ji Muzhi, Ji Zhao naturally didn't like to watch, so he talked to Princess Fuchen. For a while.

They are the only people on the official road at this time, and ordinary people can't easily follow the official road.

Outside the official road, behind the bushes, there was a carriage parked.

After Zongzhen came back at night, the city gate was closed. He went out in private, so he could not use his identity to get the guards to open the city gate. He rested in the village overnight, guessing the time, and came out after dawn. He had been waiting for a long time At first, I just wanted to watch Ji Zhao return to the city with my own eyes.

The reason why he came out this way was because he was ashamed of Ji Zhao in the final analysis. Sure enough, Ji Zhao was so happy last night and kept laughing, and the guilt in his heart disappeared.Although this sense of guilt came from inexplicable, the relationship between him and Ji Zhao was nothing more than a cycle of cause and effect in the final analysis.

However, the sense of guilt was just like that in his heart, even if he fell asleep, he would see the words written by Ji Zhaoxin in front of him, saying he was sad, saying he didn't want to be a son-in-law, and so on.

In order to make himself feel better and get a good night's sleep, Zong Zhen had no choice but to come out for such a trip.

Until now, he didn't expect that his younger sister would also come to pick up Ji Zhao.

Looking at the two standing beside the carriage, talking and laughing, it was obvious that they were a loving young couple.

In fact, it was also the first time for him to see this young couple getting along in private, and he had never seen them in his previous life.

Ji Zhao didn't know what to say, Fu Chen was amused again, and lowered his head to cover his mouth.Later, it seemed that the hairpin on her head was crooked, Ji Zhao pointed, and Fu Chen went to help her, but when it failed, Ji Zhao stretched out his hand to help her.

Can't help but make Zong Zhen start to doubt, does Ji Zhao really not want to be a son-in-law?

Isn't this very good and happy?Don't fool him again, right?

Zong Zhen put down the curtain of the car, "Your Highness?" the guard outside asked.

"Go back..."

Zong Zhen leaned back and ordered lightly.

"Okay!" The guard responded and signaled to the rest of the people, and they went back to the city quietly.

On the way, I "received" a letter from the son-in-law. Zongzhen shook the letter paper and looked at the letter he wrote. He saw that it was written in a carriage. I didn't eat any of them, so I asked him to send some secretly.

Should!

He would never send it, Zong Zhen thought to himself.
