The Way of the Consort

For the next few days, Ji Zhao stayed in Ji's mansion, not to mention the gate of Ji's mansion, or the gate of Jiashutang, he never went out.

He had already reached an agreement with the princess before, but he never thought of going to see the princess, he himself was too lazy to go so he didn't say anything, probably Princess Fuchen didn't want to see him either.It's just... just after getting married, if they just hang out like this, even if they don't care what the people in Jinling City say, the emperor and prince in the palace will be the first to be upset.

Although it was the princess's intention, would the emperor and the prince think it was the princess' fault?

Therefore, in the past few days, he sent people to the princess mansion to deliver things every day.

I don’t give away very expensive things. Today I will give you a hairpin, tomorrow I will give you a box of newly wrapped duck meat dumplings, and the next day I will give you potted flowers. The one who sends things is his nanny Wei Mama, and she never Avoiding people, even seems a bit intimate.

Princess Fuchen is the only princess of the Holy Majesty, and she married Ji Zhao of the Ji family. It took only a few months from the gift of marriage to the big wedding, and it was too hasty. The people in Jinling City were already watching this matter.

Ji Zhao got a lot of compliments for his behavior. The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, so she will see her son-in-law whenever she wants to see her, and disappear if she doesn't want to.But the son-in-law was thinking about the princess every day, and sent people to deliver things every day.If you send something expensive, you may be said to be flattering, but he, Ji Zhao, only gives you things that are readily available. People will only praise him. looking at the princess.

Regarding these remarks outside, Ji Zhao heard Chen Xing say it a few times, and he felt dumbfounded.

These were all taught to him by his nanny, Wei Mama, and he would give whatever he thought was expensive.

He had something to send, Princess Fuchen also cooperated with him, and brought something back every day.

Mother Wei was in charge of sending and bringing gifts back, and the smile on her face became more and more real, and she sighed to Ji Zhao: "I was worried that the princess has a temper, and everyone said that Princess Fuchen is arrogant. From this point of view, the princess is very easy to get along with, she is worthy of the noble daughter of the heavenly family. When talking to me, she always smiles, showing no trace of arrogance. This is because the princess treats her like a family member, so she treats her mother like this ah."

She reached out to help Ji Zhao tidy up the broken hair on her sideburns: "Now, mother can rest assured, and the old lady will be happy when she knows." She looked at Ji Zhao, and said in a very gentle voice, "Our brother Zhao is so good. Children deserve to be treated like this."

Ji Zhao leaned on the couch and read a book. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at her.

Mother Wei is Yin Ming's mother. Mother Wei was originally Yin Ying's personal servant girl. After Yin Ying got married, she stayed at home to get married and planned to come to Jinling after giving birth.After Yin Ying became pregnant, she had just given birth to Yin Ming, and the mother and child were sent to Jinling to be his wet nurse.Yin Ying disappeared and returned to Yangzhou. For so many years, Wei's mother has been taking care of him, equivalent to Ji Zhao's half-mother.

Ji Zhao can perceive from memory that the original Ji Zhao sincerely respects and trusts this mother Wei, and also sincerely regards Yin Ming as his own brother.

"Where did this come from?!" Mother Wei sighed, looking at the table, her face suddenly changed, her eyebrows raised, "Which shameless girl sent this thing!"

Ji Zhao was taken aback, and looked carefully at the table, but found nothing wrong. Mother Wei picked up two delicate purses: "Who sent it!"

Ji Zhao thought about it again, but he couldn't remember, so he called Kuer to come in and ask.

Kuer said: "My son-in-law forgot, today, Mrs. Lin, Mr. Da Lang, and Da Niangzi all sent things. Brother Yin Ming went to see the house in the Hou's mansion. Brother Chen Xing went out to buy duck blood vermicelli soup for the son-in-law. Those who didn’t dare to move rashly, they didn’t clean up.”

"What about this? Who gave it to you?" Mother Wei asked, pointing to the two purses.

"It was sent by the eldest lady!"

After Quer finished speaking, he went out. Ji Zhao didn't think it was a big deal. He looked at Wei's mother puzzled, and Wei's mother said angrily, "Send things here every day! What is An's intention!"

Ji Zhao smiled: "Mom, don't worry, it's not going well these days? You don't even need to go to Dingxing in the morning and evening, we just stay here temporarily, Yin Ming said, next month, the Hou's mansion will be repaired, and we will be able to do it in a few days." Move away. She will send it off as soon as she wants, and I will return it with courtesy. Besides, you are worried here in every possible way, I am afraid they are even more afraid of us. "

Mother Wei nodded: "That's right, so what if she has more thoughts? Can she still win over us? She is afraid of us!"

Ji Zhao smiled. He felt that Wei's mother was too nervous, but he could understand.

In fact, the past few days have been more free and happy than Ji Zhao imagined.

He originally thought that the ancients had many rules, and at first he didn't know what to do. He was afraid of revealing his secrets, and he was even more afraid of being restrained. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin sent someone to tell him early on that there was no need to worry about it. To send him food and supplies, Ji Chongjin also sent a servant to send him something, he looked at it, it was a few books.

Hearing Mother Wei's question, he picked up the two purses and looked at them again. The embroidery was excellent, one was embroidered with green bamboo, the other was embroidered with Clivia, and it was hooked with gold and silver threads. It was very delicate. He praised: "Embroidered Well done..."

Mother Wei said, "Dragon begets dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, children born to mice...Hmph! My mother saw that little lady, she looks the same as that little Wu, and I don't know what An is thinking!"

Ji Zhao could understand Wei's mother's anger very well. She was Yin Ying's personal maid, so she naturally hated that little Wu.

He put down his purse with a smile, called someone to come in again, took all the things away, raised his head and said to Mother Wei: "Mom, don't be angry, I just don't care about face with my brothers, how could I have anything to do with such a younger sister?" Contact more?"

Wei's mother smiled and said, "It's my wife's opinion, or Mr. Lang is right. Mom won't say it again."

When Chen Xing came back from buying duck blood vermicelli soup, he bought an urn and brought it in excitedly. Mother Wei laughed and scolded: "It's the first time I've seen someone buy duck blood vermicelli soup in a urn! Look at you! It's like the people on the street. like a juggler!"

Ji Zhao took a closer look. Chen Xing was beautiful. He usually grinds ink and cuts paper for him. He doesn't wear short brown clothes like Yin Ming. He wears a long gown and a bamboo hairpin in his bun. An urn bigger than his own face, Ji Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xing hugged the porcelain urn, scratched the back of his head, and Hanhan also smiled: "Uh, Mr. Lang told me to buy more, saying that my mother and brother Yin Ming also want to eat."

Now, everyone in the room laughed out loud, and Yin Ming, who had just returned from laughing, was stunned.

After Ji Zhao ate two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup, he took the gift from Princess Fuchen and went into the study, leaving them to eat outside, and told them to bring in Coke and others to eat too.

The gifts that Princess Fuchen gave him in the past few days included pine smoke ink, clear heart paper, bloodstone seals, and lake pens. He opened today's box and took out a book from it. "Materia Medica", Ji Zhao guessed that it should be a medical book, he opened the book, it was a collection of medicinal materials, and on the first page was the word "Angelica".

Ji Zhao smiled silently, he thought Princess Fuchen was really interesting.

The next day, he made up a new dress and took people to the princess mansion. He put on a good posture, and he thought this was the effect that Princess Fuchen needed.

Soon, everyone knew that he, Ji Zhao, had entered the princess mansion.

In Ji's mansion, Laixi ran back to report: "Your Majesty! Mr. Sanlang, he really went to the Princess Mansion!"

Ji Chongyuan slapped the table and said angrily: "I knew it! Since I was a child, my eldest brother told me how powerful this Yangzhou brother is, and he can know as many words as he was three years old. My grandfather also taught me with him, saying that I can only play around." , Said that Ji Zhao had a clear name when he was ten years old, I thought he was so powerful, he just went to flatter the princess! When I entered the princess mansion, I was so happy, what does it look like!"

Laixi followed and nodded again and again.

Ji Chongyuan continued to scold: "Master, I'm going to lose all my face! He gives presents to the princess with a face every day, and everyone in Jinling City knows that that bastard Xie Si dared to laugh at me the day before yesterday!"

Laixi whispered: "Your Majesty, the princess also returned the salute to Mr. San Lang, but it's not because Mr. San Lang is so hot—"

Ji Chongyuan stared at him: "What did you say?"

Laixi smiled apologetically, and scolded: "Shame! It's too embarrassing for our young master!"

"My mother sent someone to deliver things to him every day. Did you see him say thank you? My mother told him not to go to the morning and evening meditation, so he really didn't want to go?!" Ji Chongyuan slapped the table angrily again, "His eyes There is indeed no us here!"

"Young master, don't be angry, he will move out soon!"

"So what if you move away, isn't he still surnamed Ji? If he goes on like this, how will Xie Si and the others laugh at me?!" Ji Chongyuan became more and more angry as he thought about it.

"How about we find a way to beat him up?" Lai Xi came up with a bad idea.

Ji Chongyuan's eyes lit up first, and then he curled his mouth: "Who doesn't bring a bunch of people with him when he goes out, how can he be beaten? Jinling City is such a big idea, if I want to beat him, my mother will know when she turns around. Are you a fool?" He urged, "You think of something else!"

The master and the servant stared at each other for a solution, but after thinking about it for a long time, someone came outside to report: "Mr. Silang, people from Baozhufang have delivered something."

Ji Chongyuan immediately put the matter of rectifying Ji Zhao behind him, and quickly called Laixi to fetch the things, opened the lid of the box, and there was a golden hairpin with eight treasures lying on the black flannel, shining brightly, Ji Chongyuan's eyes lit up, and picked it up. He said happily, "Not bad, not bad!" Then he asked Laixi, "Look, can Xiao Mo'er like it?"

"I like it, Miss Mo'er will definitely like it!"

With a smile on Ji Chongyuan's face, he covered the box and hugged him in his arms, and wanted to leave. Laixi quickly hugged his arm, with a bitter face: "Mr. Lang, you just went there yesterday. If you go out again today, Madam will know It's..."

Ji Chongyuan hesitated a bit, and said again: "But I promised Xiao Mo'er that I will go to see her today."

"But Ma'am..."

"Just say that I went to the academy to find my elder brother!"

Laixi still wanted to pull, but couldn't pull it at all, so she stomped her feet and ran away quickly.

Ji Zhao sat in the princess mansion all morning, had lunch with Fu Chen, and chatted happily.

Fuchen expressed to him his love for the duck meat dumplings he sent, and he also wore the hairpin he sent on his head.Today, he brought a new big character that he wrote, using the pen, ink and paper given by the princess, and wanted to share it with the princess.

At that moment, the two looked at each other and smiled again, knowing what was going on in their hearts.

Knowing what is going on, both parties can do this, it is indeed the best thing to do.

Ji Zhao was in a good mood all the time. After lunch, Fu Chen was going to take a nap, so he planned to leave. He hasn't been out of the house for a few days, and now he has a general idea. He will be able to go out in the future. He's going to have a good time here today.

He offered to leave, but Fu Chen didn't want to keep him. He just said: "In the past, I also heard the name of the son-in-law in the palace. When the son-in-law was in Yangzhou, he studied with the old man of the Yin family, and later lived in Jinling. Go to White Deer Academy."

In her previous life, after Ji Zhao got married, she had been studying at Bailu Academy.

According to the custom of the ancestors, a son-in-law cannot be an official. Although later, because of her, the father and the emperor gave him a high-ranking official position in order to compensate Ji Zhao. In the first few years, Ji Zhao really had nothing. Academy study.

It's just that several of the people Ji Zhao used later and those who supported him to proclaim himself emperor all met when he was studying at Bailu Academy. The reason why he received the support of Shilin when he proclaimed emperor was also because of this experience.

It's not that Fuchen didn't think about supporting his brother's ascension to the throne.

But she also knows how weak she is, even if she is reborn once, she doesn't have the courage and ability to support her.Besides, her brother's health is too poor, she only hopes that her brother can live for a long time in this life, and she also hopes that her father can live a few more years.

That's it, help the son-in-law to become the throne, treat the son-in-law well, and the son-in-law will treat them kindly in the future.

However, Ji Zhao felt bitter in his mouth. After all, he was asked to go to the academy. The people here really love reading.

He can understand Princess Fuchen, and these days he often hears Yin Ming and Chen Xing regretting and complaining. They all think that he is a talented man, and it is a grievance to be a son-in-law.

But he is not wronged at all!

However, the princess had already spoken, so he reluctantly went to Bailu Academy.

He walked extremely slowly this way, which is enough to reflect his rebellious mood.

Those who stared at him realized that the son-in-law was finally going to Bailu Academy, and even felt a little excited.

In the past few days, the prince sent people to ask the son-in-law if he had ever gone to the White Deer Academy. Gradually, they stared and stared at him with guilt, why didn't the son-in-law go!

Today, finally go!

Someone immediately reported the news to the palace, but it was in vain.

The prince is not in the palace.
