The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao came out of the palace angrily, and Yin Ming and Chen Xing knew at a glance that he was angry again in the East Palace.

If it is said that they were still worried that their lord would provoke the crown prince, which might lead to catastrophe, but now, after a few times, they are no longer worried, and they are not surprised, it was like that last time, and the crown prince is fine Like their lord, what else is there to be afraid of?

Chen Xing accompanied him into the carriage and asked him: "Mr. Lang, why is the prince so angry with you?"

Ji Zhao didn't want to say too much, but he also knew that the anger in the East Palace today was partly because of Zhou Liangdi, and more because of the prince's intentions. He didn't want to believe that the prince was really using him, but his grandfather said The words are more and more in line with the facts, and the prince is indeed thinking too much!

After getting angry like this, he didn't feel happy, instead he was a little tired. He leaned against Chen Xing, closed his eyes and said, "Go to grandfather's house."

"Alright..." Seeing him like this, Chen Xing didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived at the Yin Mansion, the imperial doctor had already left. Ji Zhao talked to his grandfather in private, but his grandfather was really pretending to be sick.

My grandfather just didn't want to go into the palace to meet the crown prince, no matter how talented or prestigious the old man was, his grandfather snorted: "I don't want to go into the palace to greet a junior! This kid is definitely not a good generation!"

In fact, Ji Zhao wanted to tell his grandfather that it was indeed the prince who suggested him to go to Guizhou, so it was fine after thinking about it, why bother to add to the old man's unhappiness.

Grandfather asked him: "You enter the palace today, will that kid show you face?"

Ji Zhao said with a smile, "How dare he show embarrassment to me? After all, I'm the son-in-law, and he also wants to see the princess's face." After all, he can't even see the prince's face!Besides, if the crown prince really showed his face, he would dare to confront the crown prince face to face.

The grandfather talked to him a few more words, and then urged: "Go, play with Brother Citron and the others!"

Ji Zhao responded and went to find Yin Yu. Before the two of them could say a few words, Yin Yu's servant came in and said, "You two gentlemen, the crown prince has sent someone to our residence!"

Ji Zhao looked back at him, "What are you here for?"

"It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, please invite our old lady to take my wife and gentlemen to watch the dragon boat race."

"Tch..." Ji Zhao felt contemptuous in his heart, and if he didn't agree, he changed his method.Do you feel that you are wrong again and want to apologize to him?

He doesn't accept it!

Yin Yu was very interested: "I watched it in Yangzhou in the past, but this is the first time I watched it in Jinling. I wanted to watch it at first. Can the old lady agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The boy smiled happily, and they can follow them when the time comes, who doesn't like going out to play.

Yin Yu was also happy, Ji Zhao didn't say he wouldn't go, so why spoil his family's happiness?But he has made up his mind, and he will not go if he finds any excuse on that day.

That's right, he just wants to fight against the prince!

After lunch, Ji Zhao went home, and the concierge told him that He Qiniang was here.

Ji Zhao said "oh" indifferently, and went straight back to the study, where there were many postings that had just been handed in today.

He went back to Jinling, and many people invited him to eat and drink, but he didn't read it. He found Qin Wen's post among them. Qin Wen invited him to play at home, and he was planning to reply to the post.

Mother Wei came over and told him that He Qiniang was here to deliver the account book. Mother Wei handed him the account book and said with a smile: "This He Qiniang does have the ability to do business, you see, it's only been more than two months, little She really took over her shop."

Ji Zhao received it in his hand, looked at it casually, turned to the end, and saw that he had earned more than 100 taels of silver last month, but it was an ordinary small shop that had been abandoned for many years. Those who lose two or three hundred taels of silver, after all, when the fabric comes in, the embroiderer also hires a special clothes maker, and she has to pay the wages, but she can't sell a piece of cloth or a piece of clothing.

Mother Wei said: "He Qiniang said, the owner of the shop next door to ours is going to sell the shop, and would like to ask if you want to buy it and do business together. So she has been waiting, and wants to ask you to get a I have an idea, and I want to salute you face to face."

"That shop was left by my mother, and it's very good as it is now, so there's no need to expand it." He didn't expect to make a lot of money from this small shop, "If you see it, you don't need it, and I don't know her very well."

"Okay..." Mother Wei responded with a smile, turned around and left the door.

When it comes to shops and money, Ji Zhao has been extremely rich in his life, so naturally he lacks nothing.

What He Qiniang said really woke him up, he is stuck in the mansion every day and can't go out, so he must find something to do, right?Or he also opened a shop?But what to sell?He does not have the talent for business, nor does he have the overconfidence of a traveler. In many respects, he is inferior to the ancients.

Ji Zhao bowed his head and replied to Qin Wen's post, and asked him to go to Pipa Lane to play together the day after tomorrow, and to do business, he could only take it easy.

While writing the post, Master Du came over.

Last night, Ji Zhao forgot to ask Master Du to go directly with Brother Huishang, and only remembered this morning, and asked Yin Ming to give Zu Chengyi, and personally send him out of the city, but Master Du refused to leave, saying that he would wait until Ji Zhao came back.

Ji Zhao had no choice but to write another letter to Brother Huishang about Master Du.

He Qiniang came out of the Hou's mansion, got into her mule cart, and the cart went back with a rattling sound.

She sat in the car, frowning, maybe she was too anxious, she also wanted to take her time, but the situation in Beijing changed again and again, King Zheng and the others were coming back soon, and my brother didn't even send a letter. She sent it, and she really didn't know what to do now.My brother listened too much to them. To put it bluntly, those people were simply using their brother and sister. Why should they do things for them so sincerely?

How is Xiguo Guozuo, who is the emperor, and what does it matter to the two brothers and sisters?

Kill the emperor, the crown prince, and Yin Anzheng [Old Master Yin], and they will have revenge!

The two brothers and sisters found a good time to return to the deep mountains after killing people, and lived out the rest of their lives in peace as the elder brother said, wouldn't they?

The elder brother said that they were using each other, without those people, the two brothers and sisters would not be able to kill the emperor, she didn't think so!Isn't she now free to enter and leave the Prince Consort's Mansion at will?I'm sure I'll be able to see the princess in the future, and I can always kill them.

But she wanted to listen to her brother, she didn't want to make him worry any more, if he said that he couldn't do it easily, she wouldn't do it.It's okay not to do anything, but it's always good to make trouble, right?Why should they be at ease there?She can't see how good these people are!Disgusting they can always do it!

It's a pity that the son-in-law was afraid of being misunderstood by the princess, so he didn't even want to see her.

She rarely sighed, stretched out her hand to touch her face, she still couldn't believe it, this face is still useful, right?

After Ji Zhao left the palace angrily, Zong Zhen still sent someone to see what happened to Ji Zhao.

Ever since he was forced to kneel that day, Ji Zhao hated him, and never sent him anything to the palace, and Coke and the others never came to the palace again, and it was not easy for him to ask questions, as Ji Zhao stayed in the mansion most of the time. Without going out, it is really impossible to know what Ji Zhao is doing, let alone whether he is happy or not.

The sent person came back soon and told him that the son-in-law went to the Yin mansion after leaving the palace and returned home in the afternoon.

Zong Zhen asked again: "How do you feel about your son-in-law?"

The guard thought about it carefully: "This subordinate also saw the expression on his son-in-law's face when he got into the car and got off the car. The son-in-law's face looks good, and he doesn't seem to be sick."

"... "

Cheng Shen almost laughed out loud, that's not what His Highness asked, okay?Bao Qing glared at him, then smiled and said, "Does Your Highness want to ask the son-in-law if he is smiling, or if he looks angry?"

The guard suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The son-in-law is not smiling! For some reason, the son-in-law looks extremely unhappy!"

His Highness the Crown Prince's face darkened immediately, and the guards didn't understand what was going on until they went out.

Fortunately, in the evening, Zong Zhen "received" Ji Zhao's letter, and he was inspired to ask Du Bo to stay with Ji Zhao.According to people who followed Ji Zhao, He Qiniang went to Ji Zhao's mansion again today.These days, his people have been watching He Qiniang secretly, and they have not found anything wrong for the time being, and no one who is wrong has come to look for He Qiniang.

But He Qiniang's existence was wrong, and she insisted on getting on Ji Zhao, either to harm Ji Zhao, or to use Ji Zhao to do something.

What can the guards around Ji Zhao do now?They were all ostentatious, and they seemed to be serious, but they were not enough for Du Bo to fight alone. Du Bo stayed there to protect Ji Zhao, and help him watch Ji Zhao by the way.

Ji Zhao was happy for a while and unhappy for a while, which was really unpredictable and exhausting.

After making up his mind, His Royal Highness felt better and spread out the paper to write a letter.

After finishing writing, he asked Yuan Xin to come in and asked, "Is the purse ready?"

Although he said he was in a hurry, Yuan Xin did it quickly, and he really did three of them well. Even so, Yuan Xin still murmured in his heart, why did His Highness suddenly become so anxious?

Yuanxin handed the pouch to His Highness, and His Highness told her to go out, Bao Qing asked her: "Sister, what does Your Highness want that purse for?"

Yuanxin was confused: "I don't know either."

Zongzhen packed three purses of candy, and wanted to stuff them all into the box, but after thinking about it, he took out two more. Eating too much will indeed damage the teeth. Toothaches are fatal, so you have to restrain yourself, separate them and give them slowly. .

He called people in, sent the things out, and gave Du Bo some short notes to explain, and released them directly with pigeons.

To do a play, you have to make a complete set, and the next day, the things are in Ji Zhao's hands, which is in line with Zongzhen's background when he goes out to do business.

Ji Zhao returned home after dinner at the Princess Mansion, and when he received a letter from his "brother", he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He read the letter first, this is a rare thing!It's rare to write him a letter!There was no nonsense in the letter, that is, to ask Master Du to stay by his side temporarily to protect him, and Ji Zhao raised the corners of his mouth again, smiling even sweeter. This is a good friend who really cares for him!He is a son-in-law, and there are so many guards around him, so you have to worry about him!

He read the letter several times, and opened the small box that came with the letter. Inside was a honey-colored purse.

Holding it in his hand, it was chubby, his heart moved, and he immediately asked everyone in the room to go out, and opened the purse to see that it was indeed a bag of sugar balls!

He smiled and picked one up and threw it into his mouth, it was so sweet.

He thought happily, Brother Huishang was his Doraemon in ancient times, and he could give him whatever he wanted.

I really want to monopolize——

This thought suddenly came to his mind, his brows were slightly frowned, he had never inquired about the other party's family affairs, the elder brother of Huishang seemed to be in his early twenties, the ancients got married early, he was only seventeen, and he was already married, that elder brother She must have been married long ago, right?Maybe the children are better. He has those candies, and the Huishang brother's wife and children must have them too. Thinking of this, Ji Zhao felt a little disappointed.

He called Du Bo in, and when Du Bo came in, when he approached the son-in-law, there was a sweet fragrance.

Du Bo had already received a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince, knowing that he would stay with the son-in-law temporarily, but he pretended not to know, and asked the prince-in-law what orders he had.

Ji Zhao first told him to stay by his side temporarily, and then he became dazed, with a slight worry in his brows and eyes.

Du Bo couldn't help wondering, when he continued the letter a quarter of an hour ago, the son-in-law still looked very happy. What is there for him to worry about the son-in-law's life?

He then asked, "Is there anything you want me to do, Madam? Just tell me!"

"No..." Ji Zhao looked up at him, "I want to ask you something."

"Just ask!"

"Your lord, how many years have you been married? Do you have any children?" Ji Zhao simply asked directly.

Du Bo thought for a while, Zhou Liangdi was just a concubine, not married, so he said: "Our lord is not married yet!"

"Really!" Ji Zhao immediately smiled happily.

"Yes!" Du Bo thought in his heart, the son-in-law is so happy, don't think about being a matchmaker for their highness!This is impossible!He hurriedly said, "But our lord has a concubine, and the relationship has always been good."

Don't really think about being a matchmaker!

"Oh..." Ji Zhao put away his smile for a moment, leaned back on the chair, and said in a dead voice, "It's okay, you can go out."

Du Bo didn't understand anymore, scratched his head, he was not a consort, he could leave the mansion at will, and he sent a pigeon to His Royal Highness after he went out.

Zong Zhen sighed again when he saw the content on the small note. It was fine if he didn't understand Ji Zhao's head in his previous life, but he still couldn't figure out Ji Zhao's head in this life. Why did Ji Zhao want to give it to him? matchmaking?

Sure enough, sooner or later, Ji Zhao would torture him to death.
