The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao was very happy to see Princess Fuchen.

He also likes Princess Fuchen quite a bit. She is beautiful and kind-hearted and easy to talk to. Who doesn't like it?In particular, Princess Fuchen also brought good news, although Ji Zhao already felt that it didn't matter, and Yin Yu had told him before that what his grandfather was going to do when he returned to the city, I'm afraid it was just this matter.

But if there is no dirty water on his body, it will be a good thing after all. He thanked Princess Fuchen, joked with her, and took her to see his grandmother.

The grandmother was also very happy to see her, but the grandmother didn't know that the two of them were actually just married couples, and hoped that they would have a baby soon.When Princess Fuchen came over, my grandmother smiled so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes. Princess Fuchen was a very good talker, and she coaxed her grandmother to lose her previous prejudice.

Ji Zhao took the opportunity to sneak out and continue to go fishing in the garden. It is said that fishing is the ultimate destiny of every man. Ji Zhao didn't believe it before, but now he does.Ever since he caught a carp earlier, he can't wait to sit by the pond and fish all the time.

In the evening, we had dinner together, and after eating, we talked with my grandmother for a while. It was getting dark in summer, and it was not dark yet, so my grandmother urged the two of them to go back quickly, but she didn't directly say, "Go back and make something." "Little man", but the eyes and the smile on his face almost mean that.

Ji Zhao was a little embarrassed. Looking at Princess Fuchen with a generous face and a thumbs up in his heart, she is a princess!

On the way back to Ji Zhao's courtyard, Princess Fuchen said embarrassedly: "Grandmother is really amiable, and the scenery on the mountain is also good. I want to stay here for a few more days."

"I wish I could!" Ji Zhao welcomed it very much.

Princess Fuchen glanced at him, smiled and said softly: "It's just... I'm afraid the two of us will live in the same courtyard for a few days."

"Ah..." Ji Zhao opened his mouth slightly.

Princess Fuchen covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed, and Ji Zhao also smiled embarrassingly.

If the grandmother is not there, it's okay for the two to live separately. After all, the elders are there, even if they are acting, they have to perform well.

Princess Fuchen said softly: "You tell the people in your yard to be tighter, we don't live in the same room, that's all."

"Princess, I didn't mean that..."

In fact, it's no big deal for them to live in the same house, Princess Fuchen smiled and said: "I know what the concubine means, it's great for us to get along like this."

The mountain wind was gentle and the summer night was cool. The two of them strolled casually in Zhuangzi until it was dark. After passing the pond, there were fireflies lit. Someone you like, right?"

The moment he asked, he regretted it, and quickly said, "I'm sorry..."

Princess Fuchen was also taken aback, then looked at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing."

Ji Zhao didn't expect her to say anything, and didn't ask any more questions, pointing to the road ahead: "Princess, let's go here."

Princess Fuchen stopped in her tracks, looked at the distant mountains in the night, and said suddenly: "His name is Pei Rong..."

It was too sudden, the name was still very familiar, Ji Zhaomeng turned around.

"Surprised?" Princess Fuchen was amused by him again, but after she smiled, her eyes were full of sadness, "He is a deer breeder on the mountain of Dabaoen Temple."

Ji Zhao was startled again, and he also remembered who this person was. When he lived in the temple, he heard it mentioned by the little monks.

It has been almost a year since he came here. At this time, women are not unable to go out, but most of them stay in the boudoir for a long time, and most of them pay attention to the right family when they get married. Most of them don't see their husbands until the wedding night.

With her status as Princess Fuchen, she actually likes a monk in the temple!

Princess Fuchen knew that he was wrong, and laughed again: "He is not a monk, he is a little beggar picked up by a monk, and he has never become a monk."

Little beggars are not much better than monks, are they?How did Princess Fuchen know such a person and still fall in love with him? !

Ji Zhao was very curious, but Princess Fuchen didn't elaborate on how they met, but only said: "He doesn't match my identity, and was kicked out of Jinling by my brother."

"... "

This is indeed the style of His Royal Highness the crazy prince.

"But I don't blame my brother, my brother is doing it for my own good."

Ji Zhao didn't know what to say for a while, because in this era, it is indeed impossible for a princess to descend to such a status. From another perspective, the prince may indeed be for the princess.

But, then again, with an identity like Princess Fuchen, she has been reincarnated as a princess, and she is the only princess in the empire, so why can't she live according to her own temperament?

Ji Zhao asked her, "Has the princess never looked for him?"

"I can't find it..." Princess Fuchen said quietly, and after a moment of silence, she turned her head and smiled at Ji Zhao, "I know that the emperor gave you the marriage because I wronged you."

"no no."

"This is the emperor's order. I'm afraid we will be like this for the rest of our lives. However, as long as you have a woman you like, you must tell me. I will help you take her as a concubine, and her child will inherit your title."

Ji Zhao quickly refused again, Princess Fuchen smiled, and said nothing, the two walked back to the yard quietly.

Before leaving, Ji Zhao said: "Princess, no matter what, at least try to find it, and don't let your life leave any regrets."

Princess Fuchen was stunned, Ji Zhao bowed to her and left first.

Chen Xing heard what the two of them said, entered the room, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, you persuade the princess so much... what about you?"

"What?"

Yin Ming dragged Chen Xing out: "Say less!"

Chen Xing said indignantly: "Since the princess also has someone she likes, why not make it up for each other? If we can reconcile, our lord won't have to be such a consort anymore, and we can be together with Mrs. Wang..."

Later Yin Ming scolded him again and pulled him away.

Ji Zhao still heard a little bit, and then thought of Wang Xi belatedly. Are they talking about Wang Xi?

Ji Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, this is completely different, the one who likes Wang Xi is the ancestor, not him.

But before going to bed, lying on the empty bed, thinking about what he said to Princess Fuchen, he couldn't help being curious, what would he do if he had someone he liked?

He doesn't seem to have ever liked anyone. If there is someone else, it is the hostess of the children's channel that he watched when he was a child. She has a sweet smile and her eyes are like crescent moons.No matter how hard he thought about it, he also liked Dr. Bai who treated him a lot. He always gave injections lighter than others, and would tease him with a smile.

But what if he were to marry these people?

He shook his head in fright and buried himself in the pillow.

Wait until he really has someone he likes, then worry about these things!

But if Princess Fuchen really wants to find that Pei Rong, he can help.

At night, Zong Zhen got up, led people quietly out of the palace, and came to a private house in the northeast of Jinling.

Chen Keye opened the door for him lightly. There were ten guards guarding the courtyard. Zong Zhen lifted the hood, and the ten guards silently saluted him. They walked through the courtyard and walked into the house. When people saw someone coming, they struggled desperately, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth towels, and they kept saying "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

Zong Zhen nodded, Chen Keye stepped forward, knelt down and threatened: "Be honest! Ask and answer!" He then put a sharp dagger across his neck, "As long as you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately!" !"

The other party didn't dare to move anymore, Chen Keye took the cloth towel in his mouth, and he was about to yell, but Chen Keye directly plunged the blade into his neck, a blood line appeared on his neck, and the blood dripped down, he didn't dare to move again up.

Zongzhen covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few more times, took a few steps forward, and said calmly, "I'll ask you a few questions."

The man didn't want to give in, so Chen Keye's knife went a little further in. Chen Keye smiled: "Do you want to break your neck immediately?"

He said honestly: "You ask..."

"He Qiniang is from Xi Country or from Liang Country."

He obviously didn't expect this to be the problem when he came up, his eyes widened, Zong Zhen coughed a few more times, it was the onset period, and his throat was uncomfortable, Chen Keye urged: "Speak quickly!"

He then said: "If I say it, I'm dead, if I don't say it, I'm dead. I don't have any family anyway. I don't care. Give me a good time!"

Chen Keye snorted and said, "If you say so, I will keep your whole body. If you don't say so, you will die in a hurry. The bones will be thrown down the mountain to feed the wild wolves, and then a few Taoist priests will be called to cast spells on you. Even if you die, you will be killed." Can't give birth!"

People at the time believed in this.

The man's eyes were wide open, and he glared at Chen Keye: "You!"

"Say it!"

He gritted his teeth for a moment, and then reluctantly said: "As far as I know, she is from Xiguo."

Zong Zhen asked again: "Who was the person you brought to the shop that day?"

"It's a thin Yangzhou horse named Xiao Mo'er."

Chen Keye immediately remembered who this person was, nodded towards Zongzhen, and Zongzhen asked: "Does He Qiniang still have a party."

"I don't know, I'm just a carriage driver, and I'm under He Qiniang's order, and I don't know more about it."

Zong Zhen hesitated for a moment before asking the last question: "He Qiniang and the son-in-law have known each other for a long time."

"I really don't know about this. If I didn't have money to eat, I wouldn't sell myself to He Qiniang, who would be willing to be a secret worker. I'm just a servant, He Qiniang can't tell me everything, I know Yes, I told you all. Even if you really want to beat me, I will still say the same."

He had the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Zong Zhen knew that there was indeed nothing to ask.

Zong Zhen turned and walked out of the house, standing in the courtyard, followed by Chen Keye after a while: "Your Highness, do you want to use torture?"

"No, it doesn't make sense."

"Then the subordinate executes this person immediately?"

"No..." Zong Zhen waved at Chen Keye, Chen Keye came over, Zong Zhen whispered a few words, Chen Keye's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry! I will send someone to do it, just because no one will take the blame." What! And last time when Beijing sent people to investigate Zhang Yifei, Yu Tan specially asked his eldest son Yu Xin to follow him, probably because he was afraid that the officials would favor Zhang Yifei, so now he can use it.”

Zong Zhen nodded, still covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and walked out directly.

Chen Keye stayed behind, and he brought his guards back to the palace.

On the way, he closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wheels, thinking about what the man had just said.Xiao Mo'er is the sister who had a good relationship with Ji Chongyuan at the beginning, but she is also He Qiniang's person?This line was buried quite early. I wonder if this happened in my previous life?How did Ji Zhao deal with this matter?It's a pity that he was blind in his previous life and didn't know it at all.

In this life, whether Ji Zhao really didn't know that He Qiniang made a move, or whether he had known him a long time ago.

Zong Zhen sighed in his heart.

He hoped that Ji Zhao really didn't know.

Hearing a dog barking outside, he lifted the curtain to look out the window, just in time to see a full moon in the sky, Fu Chen went to the mountain, wondering if the two lived in the same yard tonight.

"Your Highness?" Bao Qing called him softly, "It's cold outside, you're still coughing."

Zong Zhen let go of his hand, thought for a while, and asked Bao Qing: "They still haven't found Pei Rong?"

There are too many things these days, and he didn't bother to ask.

"Yes, a few days ago, they sent a letter back, but they still couldn't find it."

I'm afraid I really can't find Pei Rong, Zong Zhen has also seen Pei Rong, let him bluntly say, he can't figure out why Fu Chen still misses Pei Rong after meeting Ji Zhao, why his sister shouldn't look like that Bad is.

but--

A thought suddenly popped up in his heart, if Fu Chen didn't like Ji Zhao all the time, then that would be fine.

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the rocks, and the car shook suddenly, Zong Zhen came back to his senses, and then coughed worse, Bao Qing was so frightened that he patted him on the back. During the coughing, Zong Zhen felt that he was really in a daze up.
