The Way of the Consort

Only three days after Ji Zhao was born, he was brought back to Yangzhou by his grandfather. For the next 16 years, until three months ago, he never came to Jinling and grew up in Yangzhou.

But don't think that Ji Zhao is pitiful. He was taken away by his grandfather after he couldn't stay in Jinling City. He grew up bitterly.

The Ji family has a great background, and the reputation of Ji Zhao's grandfather, the Yin family, is not less than that of the Ji family. It is said that the ancestors of the Ji family have produced gods, but the Yin family has never produced gods. There are no Jinshi, and I don't know how many champions have been out. They are a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River that is both clean and expensive.

The descendants and disciples of the Yin family spread all over the land of China, and there were countless prime ministers and chief assistants, so they were called "Xiang Clan".

Until the time of the late emperor, Ji Zhao's great-grandfather got involved in the party struggle and had his head chopped off. The late emperor was old and confused at that time. He had an idea every day. As soon as his head was chopped off, he wept sadly and sighed for his most loyal courtier. Come, immediately overturn the case for great-grandfather, and also want to quickly mention Ji Zhao's grandfather to succeed him.

My grandfather, however, resolutely rejected the late emperor's will, and said that the old father's last words said that the Yin family was ashamed of the sage Long En, and that from now on, the Yin family would stay away from the court, return to their hometown in Yangzhou, and never serve as officials in the court.

The first emperor rewarded gold and silver, rewarded fields and houses, watched helplessly that the Yin family returned to their hometown in Yangzhou, and remembered this event when he was dying.

The great-grandfather was indeed wronged. As soon as Emperor Renzong came to the throne, Zong Yuefu reversed the case again, which deeply demonstrated the innocence of the Yin family.The Yin family had too many disciples, and they were very famous in Shilin. Zong Yue wanted to invite his grandfather to come out of the mountain, but his grandfather took his father's death as a shield and refused to become an official again.

Zong Yue had no choice but to turn to the Ji family.

In terms of reputation, the Ji family is even worse, and many emperors have been born in the ancestors, but it is also because of this "more", the emperors can't rest assured when using it. Under the circumstances at the time, there was no one better than the Ji family as appropriate.

Both the Ji family and the Yin family's ancestral home are in Yangzhou, and they can be called the "two tyrants" of Yangzhou city.

The two families each have a small village on the edge of the Slender West Lake, wall to wall, which can be regarded as the best of the whole family.There is only an alley between the walls of the two houses. A row of peach blossom trees are planted in the alley. Every spring, the peach blossoms sprinkle into the two houses one after another.

Ji Zhao's mother, Yin Ying, was mischievous since she was a child. She stepped on the Taihu stone and leaned on the wall to watch the peach blossoms. She heard someone crying in Ji's house next door.She looked over curiously, and saw a boy not a few years older than herself. She asked him why he was crying, and he said that seeing such a gorgeous peach blossom reminded him of his long-dead wife.Yin Ying is the only girl in the Yin family, the old lady of the old man Yin, and her nephews are all older than her, so the whole family dotes on this girl.

She is quite naive, she is at the age full of girlish thoughts, and she usually reads the scripts secretly.

She felt that Mr. Ji's family was born well, and he missed his dead wife like this, he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness.The family refused, so she married Ji Muzhi as her second wife.

At the beginning, they got along very well. Ji Muzhi had a romantic appearance and was full of talent. He and Yin Ying enjoyed the spring and autumn together, and left countless masterpieces of poetry. Whether it is Yangzhou or Jinling, they can be called the most enviable couple of gods and celestial beings.The two got along well, and soon, Yin Ying became pregnant and had no energy to take care of Ji Chongjin, the three-year-old child left by Ji Muzhi's original partner.

Yin Ying was very grateful and wanted to find a good marriage for this aunt.

Unexpectedly, when Yin Ying was only five months pregnant, my aunt took care of the child, took care of it, and took care of it on Ji Muzhi's bed.

For someone else's family, this matter can only be swallowed with gritted teeth, and arrangements for concubines and other things must be made.

Is Yin Ying an ordinary person?She was the only girl among the three generations of Yin's family. With her five-month-old belly in her arms, she immediately asked to go back to her natal family in Yangzhou, determined to make peace with Ji Muzhi.The old man of the Yin family supported him ten thousand times, and even brought his whole family to Jinling to beat up Ji Muzhi. Yin Ying's sister-in-law and niece and daughter-in-law didn't give up on her little aunt either.

The Ji family, however, refused to let them go, refused to reconcile, and even the palace knew about it after the trouble.At that time, Emperor Renzong personally called the elders of the two families into the palace to mediate, but both sides were unwilling to make concessions, so he decided to ask Yin Ying to give birth to the child first.

Four months later, Ji Zhao landed safely, but Yin Ying suddenly disappeared.

After searching for three days, no one was found. This matter became a big unsolved case in Jinling City. Some said that the lady of the Yin family had committed suicide.What's more, the lady of the Yin family looks like a fairy, and she flew to the sky to become the queen mother!

Three days later, the old man Yin took Ji Zhao back to Yangzhou and never came back.

Since then, the Yin and Ji families have been feuds.

These are what Ji Zhao found in his mind. To be honest, he admires his mother in this life, but he doesn't know if she is still alive?He was also born in a wealthy family in his previous life, but his health was not good. His mother always blamed herself and felt that she was guilty. Later, she directly converted to Buddhism and said that she would pray for him for life. Although she did not become a monk, she hardly contacted the world , he rarely sees his mother.

When he thought of Mrs. Yin, he felt a little bit sad.

While sighing, he walked into the main hall with Fu Chen, and the old master of the Ji family brought the children of the Ji family to salute them one after another: "I have seen the princess and the son-in-law!"

Not everyone can come to see the princess mansion, Ji Zhao counted, there are five people in total.

At the very front, the one with half-white hair must be his grandfather, the old man of the Ji family.The handsome and romantic man half a step behind him must be his cheap father, Ji Muzhi.The woman next to Cheap Dad is his third wife, the daughter of the richest man in Jiangxi, the Lin family.There are two more, his cheap brother Ji Chongjin and cheap brother Ji Chongyuan.

Princess Fuchen said with a smile: "Everyone, please, don't be too polite."

When Ji Zhao saw their faces, they were all very good-looking. Afraid of being caught off guard, Ji Zhao smiled at them all, very gently.

Then the difference came out.

The grandfather's face was somewhat moved, it seemed that he was still thinking about his grandson.The cheap father looked at him with a complicated face, his eyes were hazy, and the cheap father's wife's eyes were slightly closed, she didn't look at anyone, she was very dignified.

Brother Cheap looked at him with a sad face, and when the two looked at each other, he sighed and his eyes turned red.

Ji Zhao was dumbfounded... What's wrong with this big brother...

As for the cheap brother, his face was full of disdain, as if he was too lazy to look at him, hehe, he was too lazy to look at him too much!

Ji Zhao looked back, walked in with Fu Chen, and sat down on the first two chairs.According to the etiquette, at this time the Ji family had to kneel down and worship, and the maids brought the ball mats, but Princess Fuchen stood up in person, stepped forward to help the old lady Ji, and did not let them kneel down.

On behalf of the Ji family, the old man of the Ji family said countless words of blessing. It was nothing more than wishing the princess and the son-in-law a happy union for a hundred years and a forever union. Our Ji family blessed the princess day and night.

Ji Zhao was a little bored hearing that, but Princess Fuchen seemed quite moved, and after talking to the old master a few more words, she didn't want to keep them any longer, and asked Ji Zhao to follow them back to Ji's mansion, and said: "Father, the royal concubine is Pingyang. Hou, for granting the house, it must be that the announcement of the decree is coming soon, so I will not keep everyone. Next time, I will invite everyone to come to the princess mansion for a small gathering."

As soon as they heard that he was named Pingyang Marquis, no one else responded, including the Lin family. Only the cheap younger brother Ji Chongyuan raised his head and gave Ji Zhao a vicious look.

Ji Zhao felt baffled, was this jealousy or something?

A family like the Ji family wouldn't be jealous of a young master who has no real power, right?

This kid is not easy to get along with at first glance, he lives again for the sake of happiness, so stay away from this kid in the future!

Thinking about going back to receive the decree, they didn't stay long, Fu Chen personally sent them outside the courtyard, and Qing Jin sent them to the door.

He didn't ride a horse anymore, riding a horse was really a pain, but he didn't know where the carriage was... He was at a loss, "Lang Jun..." A boy came up from behind and whispered, "I'll help you get into the carriage!"

Ji Zhao turned his head and saw that he was a young man with clear features and a short brown body. He thought about it carefully, this person seems to be called Yin Ming?

Yin Ming said again: "Chen Xing is already waiting for you in the car! Get in the car and rest!"

Ji Zhao followed him into a carriage, and sure enough there was another boy waiting for him, this is Dust Star, right?Chen Xing was even better than Yin Ming. He was a very beautiful young man. When he saw him getting into the car, he was very happy to come forward and help him to sit down. He poured tea for him and muttered softly: "I'm so tired!" You can have a good rest now!" He also complained, "This son-in-law is really not easy to be at all! The emperor is so unreasonable, just because he is the emperor, he can marry him at will—— "

Yin Ming interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't look where it is!"

Chen Xing hummed, and stepped forward to pinch Ji Zhao's legs: "I'm loose for you, sir, but I have to kneel and kneel when I go to the palace? Are you tired? I'd better go to the palace less in the future! No. What a place!"

Yin Ming taught him in a low voice: "If you keep your mouth open, you won't dare to take you out again!"

Chen Xing was not convinced, and the two quietly filed a lawsuit.

Ji Zhao got some information from their voices, so Ji Zhaoyuan really didn't want to or even dislike being a son-in-law?

However, for some reason, he couldn't find the memories of the past few months after being given the marriage.

He was suddenly curious, if he hadn't come, how would Ji Zhao spend this life with Princess Fuchen?

But it's not his turn to think too much, Ji's mansion is not far from Princess' mansion, and they will arrive soon.

He jumped out of the carriage and followed the cheap family members into the gate. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the angel from the palace came to announce the decree, so it could be seen that he was also staring at the Princess Mansion to calculate the good time.

Ji Zhao knelt at the front and received the imperial edict. Chen Xing stepped forward to order some eunuchs, and there was another steward of Ji's family who was almost in sync with Chen Xing.Ji Zhao looked back, Lin's face was still expressionless, and Ji Chongyuan stared at him as usual.

Chen Xing rushed forward, before the steward of Ji's house, and stuffed a thick stack of silver bills into the hands of the angels, and then the steward followed suit. The angels got two generous gifts in a row, and cheerfully said many flattering words, He added: "Don't worry, the Prince-in-law is in charge of the house. His Highness also has something to say. Although it is still being repaired, the Prince-in-law can go and have a look at it at any time. The farm that His Majesty rewarded was also chosen by His Highness himself! The scenery is extremely beautiful!"

He wanted to express the importance the prince and emperor attached to him.

But Ji Zhao heard "hehe" in his heart, he just wanted to stay away from that crazy prince, please.

The eunuchs left happily, and the grandfather took Ji Zhao into the ancestral hall again to worship the ancestors. After a lot of tossing, it was not until noon that the tossing was over.It was inevitable that the family would have a meal together, and then Ji Zhao saw the other concubine brothers and concubine sisters. Ji Zhao didn't remember their names very much.

He won't stay here for too long, after the Hou Mansion is repaired, he will move to live alone.

Although he wasn't the real Ji Zhao, and he didn't really regard the Ji family as a feud, but he didn't have a good impression of this family either. Lady Yin is pitiful.But those two concubine sisters, although he didn't remember their names, he couldn't help but look at them a little more, because they were born to that little aunt, the noble concubine of the Ji family, Xiao Wu.

The two little ladies were born beautiful, and the eldest lady looked like a little white flower, literally, weak and beautiful.The second lady is like a rose with thorns.

He looked at it a few more times, and the eldest lady was so nervous that she squeezed the veil tightly, the second lady half-guarded in front of the eldest lady, and the younger sister was stronger than the elder sister.

Ji Zhao was amused, could it be that he still made things difficult for these two little girls?

After eating, Ji Zhao planned to go back to his yard.He lived here for a few days before getting married.

The reason why he came to Jinling this time was because Mrs. Ji celebrated her [-]th birthday and had been with Mrs. Yin for more than a year. Why hasn't he seen his grandson for more than ten years? Let him meet at least, I'm already sixty, I don't know if the person will still be there in a few years, so I said a lot.

The old man Yin also thought about it for a year, even though he hated that family very much, thinking that brother Zhao is still surnamed Ji, he should go back and kowtow to old man Ji, so he let him go back.Once the material is put back, it can never be picked up again.The old man Yin likes to be lively and kind. When Ji Zhao returned to Jinling, he took his family to Fuzhou to attend the wedding of his old friend's son. He learned that when his precious grandson was taken by the emperor to be his son-in-law, he had only arrived in Fuzhou for two days.

The old man Yin immediately rushed back with his people, anxious and angry, fell ill on the way, of course he couldn't say that to the emperor, he could only say that it was because he was too happy, afraid of missing the big wedding and was too tired to rush on the road.Emperor Renzong was very moved, and specially sent an imperial doctor to treat the old man, and told them not to worry.

Today, the grandfather and his family are still on the road to recuperate, and they can only come back after recuperating.

Ji Zhao took Yin Ming and Chen Xing to his courtyard, Jiashutang, following the place in his memory.

Halfway through, "Stop!" someone yelled behind him.

Ji Zhao looked back, and Ji Chongyuan came striding forward with an angry expression on his face.
