The next day, when it was still daylight, King Jia got up to wash up.

Song Nian had already prepared the azure prince's uniform and white jade hair crown for King Jia.Accessories such as waist pendants are also made of luxurious materials and simple styles.

"When A Niang sees me, she must blame me for wasting good materials." A sarcasm flashed in King Jia's eyes, and it would not be rude to wear this dress directly to the mourning hall.

Song Nian knelt down silently, and straightened the folds of the robe tail for King Jia, "The dishes on the table yesterday are ready, and I have personally checked them."

"Why did you send such a boring gourd to my side back then?" King Jia shook his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and took the lead to go out the door.

When the carriage of Prince Jia's Mansion arrived at the gate of the palace, it happened to be the time when the Jinwu guards opened the palace gate and were about to change shifts.

Emperor Yanguang paid great attention to the safety of the palace.

After he ascended the throne, he could be fooled about everything, and it didn't matter if he couldn't be fooled. He had a clumsy face of 'I'm the emperor anyway, so what can you do with me', but he was very concerned about his own safety.Against all odds, the Jinwu Guard is divided into two parts, one part is for the descendants of the nobles, and the other part is to draw elites from the major military camps.

Emperor Yanguang didn't like the honorable descendants of the Jinwu Guard very much, and even explicitly said that these people were not allowed to appear near him.Over time, there are fewer and fewer noble descendants in the Jinwu Guard.There is no other way, people who can only dawdle in the Jinwu Guard also ask for leave throughout the year, anyway, no matter whether they go on duty or not, the salary that should be given to them will not be less.

The Jinwu Guards responsible for the safety of the palace gates are all direct descendants of the Great General Jin Wuwei, and they are only willing to obey the orders of Emperor Yanguang and the orders of the Great General Jin Wuwei.

Even if King Jia was waiting outside the palace gate in person, these Jinwu guards would not give King Jia any convenience.

No matter who wants to enter the palace gate, they cannot delay the handover of the Jinwu Guards and must go through strict inspections.

King Jia had long been used to the cold faces of these humanoid weapons. He stood on the carriage frame with his hands behind his back, watching with cold eyes the Jinwu Guards inside and outside the palace gates after going through various complicated procedures and finally completing the handover.

"General Mo is here." Song Nian who was standing beside the carriage reminded King Jia in a low voice.

General Mo Yao of the Jinwu Guard, whose origin is unknown, is said to be the secret guard given to Emperor Yanguang by the first emperor. He is the most trusted confidant of Emperor Yanguang and controls all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an.

Most of the time, he stayed in the palace to ensure that whenever Emperor Yanguang needed him, he could appear in Emperor Yanguang's sight in the shortest possible time.

To a certain extent, Emperor Yanguang's trust in Mo Yao was far greater than his trust in the concubines and children, so that he was as arrogant as King Jia, and when he saw Mo Yao when he was not very happy, he had to take the initiative Before saying hello.

"General Mo, long time no see." Wang Jia nodded while standing on the carriage frame.

"Your Majesty is well, congratulations to Your Majesty." Mo Yao knelt down on one knee to greet King Jia, "I will preside over the handover of the Jinwu Guard. If there is any negligence, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After all, before King Jia could react, Mo Yao, who was nearly ten feet tall, had already stood up on his own, turned around and walked towards the Jinwu Guards lined up neatly in two lines, making sure that everyone in the line was a familiar face to him. .

After tossing until the sun completely climbed up from the horizon, and the Jinwu Guard finally handed over, Mo Yao came to invite King Jia into the palace.

"Excuse me for waiting, Your Majesty." Mo Yao bowed his head deeply.

King Jia knew Mo Yao's character a long time ago, and he also knew some deeper secrets.

Mo Yao was indeed a secret guard, originally called Twelve, and Emperor Yanguang wanted to use him to let the Imperial Hospital treat Twelve's hidden injuries at all costs, so that Twelve could have the same life span as a normal person.

Including Twelve, there were a total of six secret guards at the time, and they were treated by the Imperial Hospital at the same time.

In the end, only Twelve and Nineteen were diagnosed and treated by the Tai Hospital to cure their hidden diseases, and they got the chance to stand beside Emperor Yanguang in an upright manner.

Emperor Yanguang personally named the two of them.

Mo was selected as the surname in Twelve, which meant to remind himself not to forget the kindness of Emperor Yanguang, so he was given the name Yao.Now the official worship is the second-rank Jinwuwei General, who controls all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an. It is no exaggeration to say that he is powerful.

Nineteen chose Bai as the surname, meaning to start again, and was given the name Qianli. She was the female official of Emperor Yanguang, who drafted the imperial edict for Emperor Yanguang and kept the jade seal.People who are good at flattering people on the outside even respectfully call Bai Qianli "Nei Xiang".

Emperor Yanguang has been absurd for many years, and the Yu Dynasty can still maintain stability. In addition to the heritage left by three generations of emperors, the credit of loyal Mo Yao and Bai Qianli is also indispensable.

King Jia smiled at Mo Yao, "It's because I couldn't hold back and couldn't wait to share the strange things with Aye, so I even forgot the time for the handover of the palace gate. What is the general's fault?"

Mo Yao kept his head down to show his respect to King Jia, but his words were not polite, "What does Your Majesty bring into the palace? You should check it first."

King Jia jumped off the carriage and landed firmly next to Mo Yao. It was the food I had for a banquet in the mansion yesterday, and I wanted to bring it to Aye to see.

Mo Yao only glanced at the dishes, then looked away, and checked the food box for anything wrong, "Sages don't eat food from outside."

Even if it was food offered by his own son, Emperor Yanguang would not change his attitude.

King Jia knew this a long time ago, he said to Mo Xie, "I'm just sharing my joy with Aye, if Aye sees these dishes and wants to taste them, he can just take them to the imperial dining room and let the chefs As a reference, the freshly cooked dishes are delicious enough."

Mo Yao fell silent again, but Jia Wang took the initiative to find something to say, "I think the general's sword tassels are pretty good, but is it an annual gift from the British government?"

"En." Mo Yao responded.

"I also received a similar annual gift, but it was a bare sword tassel with nothing on it. Unlike the general's sword tassel, it even had a red coral on it." King Jia tentatively stretched out his hand, seeing that Mo Xie did not refuse Only then did he hold the red coral on the fringe of the sword in the palm of his hand, "The carving is excellent, like the works of Tang masters in the previous dynasty, and the British public has a heart."

Mo Yao's figure froze slightly, he was a vulgar person, he didn't know who the Master Tang was talking about in King Jia's mouth, he only knew that the things that King Jia praised repeatedly were definitely not ordinary things.

trouble

It took about a quarter of an hour before Mo Yao checked everything in the carriage and invited King Jia into the palace.

King Jia nodded, and said, "The general has worked hard."

Song Nian handed the oiled paper bag that he always held in his hand to Mo Yao, and said with a smile, "These are all kinds of cakes from the royal palace banquet yesterday. The general and Jinwuwei are busy with work, so they don't have time to go to the royal palace for the banquet. Try it." These cakes can be regarded as a chance to catch the king's happiness."

Mo Yao took the pastry, nodded to Song Nian, stood where he was, and watched King Jia's carriage leave.

He tore off the sword tassel from his waist and stuffed it into his arms, and handed the cake to the guard behind him, "You are not allowed to eat it on duty, but you can eat it during lunch break."

The personal guard can't be like Mo Yao, who can't show his emotions at all, and there is a hint of joy in his voice, "Yes, General!"

When he came to Emperor Yanguang's Chiyang Palace, King Jia began to wait for a long time.

If it was not summoned by Emperor Yanguang, anyone who came to see Emperor Yanguang would have to wait for Emperor Yanguang's permission before they could enter Chiyang Palace, otherwise they would be punished as trespassing.

The empress was almost abolished for trespassing on the Chiyang Palace, but she has not regained the power of the Sixth Palace so far.

Standing under the increasingly hot sun, King Jia thought secretly that he had made a mistake.

If he had known that the sun was so good today, he should have worn two fewer clothes, otherwise when he entered the door to see Emperor Yanguang, if his face was flushed red, he would definitely annoy Emperor Yanguang.

Song Nian, who didn't know when to leave temporarily, came back quietly, and said in a voice that was neither too high nor too low beside King Jia, just enough for the guards of Chiyang Palace to hear, "Mrs. Please don't forget to sit with her after you have paid homage to the sage."

Where all the guards couldn't see, Songnian quietly handed King Jia a piece of pastry that was only the size of a finger, using King Jia's wide sleeves to cover it.

The pastry is mixed with medicinal powder, which will make people's stomachs twist like a knife for two hours, and they will have diarrhea the next day.

I don't know how long it took before someone from Chiyang Palace came out, saying that Emperor Yanguang had time to summon King Jia now.

Enduring the abdominal pain, King Jia struggled to move his legs that were about to become completely stiff, secretly thinking that it was getting harder and harder to see the old man.

When he came to see Emperor Yanguang last time, he only stood outside for a quarter of an hour, but today he waited for at least an hour. It can be seen that Emperor Yanguang was forced by the courtiers to give their brothers the title of king , not willingly.

The palace servants lured King Jia to the warm pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, a strange smell of medicine came over his face. King Jia, who had been enduring the abdominal pain by force, suddenly turned pale and almost vomited out.

After finally seeing Emperor Yanguang's red robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, King Jia immediately knelt down, feeling that the air was much cooler, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time called out 'Aye' full of emotion, which attracted him. Emperor Yanguang, who wanted to leave King Jia alone, looked over immediately.

"Huh?" Emperor Yanguang saw King Jia's pale face and sweaty expression on his head, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

King Jia smiled wryly, "My son hosted a banquet yesterday, and all the nobles and clansmen have their own tempers. If it were normal, I would never be able to bear them. Yesterday was indeed a good day that Aye bestowed on me. How could I bear to let this happen?" The good days left blemishes, so I can only bear with them as much as possible.”

"I didn't expect that after all, I overestimated my own strength, and I was so angry that I didn't fall asleep until dawn." Jia Wang sighed a long time, raised his sleeves to cover his face ashamed and aggrieved.

"Hahaha" Emperor Yanguang's laughter was full of relief.

King Jia secretly clenched his knuckles, and still said weakly, "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know until now that Aye has been delaying in making my son king, because I can't bear to see my son lose this ugliness and suffer this grievance. "

In fact, Emperor Yanguang who didn't want his sons to have a good life took over King Jia's guilt without the slightest bit of guilt, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you think I didn't crown you king?"

King Jia raised his head and looked at Emperor Yanguang with admiration in his eyes, "I'm officially crowned king. From now on, besides Aye's son, I will also be the master of King Jia's mansion. Compared with 'big king', I prefer to be called by people. As a 'Prince', Aye was reluctant to come, so he resisted the pressure of the courtiers and refused to issue a decree to become king."

"Huh?" Emperor Yanguang laughed again.

After several conversations, Emperor Yanguang found King Jia very pleasing to his eyes, and even the anger caused by King Jia's grandiose banquet for the king was dissipated.

No brainer, no worries.

Emperor Yanguang looked at King Jia with a smile on his face, "Get up, come and sit nearby, I'll hear how they bullied you."

Speak up and make me happy again.

Song Nian couldn't follow in, the others didn't see King Jia in their eyes.

King Jia could only get up from the ground by himself, he knew that Emperor Yanguang liked to see him in distress, so he deliberately got up in a hurry, and stumbled towards the small stool not far from Emperor Yanguang.

The eight-foot-tall King Jia sat pitifully on a stool that was no higher than his calf, and slowly talked about yesterday's events.

The first one is the lawsuit between the British Government and the Xinyang County Prince's Mansion.

From King Jia's mouth, he still doesn't know who was right and who was wrong in the accident that happened in the Queen's Courtyard. If he were to judge, except for the two-year-old Ji Baoshan who was completely innocent, both the Prince Xiaojun and the wife of the Crown Prince were at fault.

The British government decided that it was the Madam's fault, but the Xinyang Prince's House felt that Princess Yiyun was right, and the fault was the Xiaojun King. In order to protect the Xiaojun King, the British government deliberately attributed the fault to Princess Yiyun.

Both governments refused to back down, and they quarreled fiercely, insisting on dragging King Jia to uphold justice for them.

"What justice can I do for them?" King Jia raised his face and looked at Emperor Yanguang aggrievedly, "If I say anything they will listen to, I must first ask Princess Yiyun and King Xiaojun to give Baoshan Apologize."

Emperor Yanguang reached out and patted King Jia's head perfunctorily, without any intention of supporting his granddaughter whom he had never seen before.

For him, this matter is just a matter of entertainment.

If King Jia hadn't told him about it with an unlucky face, he wouldn't even be interested in knowing about it.

King Jia had expected Emperor Yanguang's reaction a long time ago, and he was not disappointed. He continued to lower his head and pretended to be wronged, "The two houses were noisy, and even disturbed my uncle. The king of Xiaojun insisted that it was Princess Yiyun who blocked his way first. He fell down. Although Princess Yiyun was full of grievances, she also accepted the words of the little prince. Uncle made the decision and fined Princess Yiyun nine months of the princess's salary. The old man heard that Baoshan was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying. I am very distressed, and I ordered that Princess Yiyun's six months' salary should be paid to Xiaojun Wang, and three months' salary should be paid to Baoshan."

"Sigh..." King Jia sighed, "I don't know if Princess Yiyun said something to King Xinyang in private, King Xinyang always insisted that it was King Xiaojun who pushed Princess Yiyun away, and even fainted because of it. The son of the Prince of Xinyang County was also emotional, and wrote a letter of petition in anger, and asked me to forward it to Aye. As long as the British government can give justice to the Prince of Xinyang County, the father and son of the Prince of Xinyang County are willing to go to the temple to pray for Ayerusu three moon."

King Jia took out the letter he forced the Prince of Xinyang County to write yesterday from his sleeve pocket.

The eunuch in the corner took the letter from King Jia, and passed it to Emperor Yanguang after careful drug testing in front of King Jia.

Emperor Yanguang read the contents of the letter at a glance.

The letter was written by the Prince of Xinyang County, and it only mentioned that Emperor Yanguang was unwell recently. The King of Xinyang County and the Prince of Xinyang County were very worried about Emperor Yanguang, and they were willing to go to a temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for Emperor Yanguang to become a vegetarian.

The British government and Princess Yiyun were not mentioned throughout the article.

Emperor Yanguang didn't suspect that King Jia lied to him.

In Emperor Yanguang's mind, King Jia was a very filial idiot, and he would never dare to tell lies to him.

Therefore, while Emperor Yanguang hated the king of Xinyang and the son of the prince of Xinyang for spying on the emperor and not being loyal enough, he was also dissatisfied with the Duke of England.

The king of Xinyang County and the son of the Prince of Xinyang County not only dared to speculate on his physical condition, but also knew that he could become a vegetarian to pray for him, but they were not willing to become a vegetarian to pray for him until they asked him for something.

Such a disloyal person, huh.

The Duke of England was not good either, he dared to rely on his trust, enjoy power unscrupulously, and was so arrogant that he was against Xinyang County Wangfu and Jiawangfu at the same time.

This kind of ambitious people who don't know how to restrain themselves must learn a lesson severely.

In Emperor Yanguang's heart, his courtiers were divided into several grades.

The first grade is Mo Yao and Bai Qianli.Useful, loyal, and never betrayal.Emperor Yanguang's few tolerances were given to these two people.

The British public is in the second grade, which can be used and is relatively smooth.

People like Sikong and Situ who are easy to move, occasionally annoying, and not very useful, are ranked third.Emperor Yanguang put all the empresses and concubines from famous families in his harem, his princes and princesses into this category.

Except for the people in these three grades, everyone else is someone who can disappear at any time in Emperor Yanguang's heart.

Emperor Yanguang could allow Mo Yao and Bai Qianli to use the power he gave to suppress people in the second and third ranks, but he could not tolerate the British Duke who was in the second rank to use the power he got from him to suppress others. Overwhelm those who are in the third gear.

He didn't care about who was right and who was wrong about the farce that happened in Prince Jia's Mansion.All I know is that the king of Xinyang County has been blinded by the British government, which made the prince of Xinyang County lose his position, and also made King Jia very dissatisfied, so he came to the palace to complain.

If you act too ostentatiously, and what you do may cause him trouble, you should be punished.

Emperor Yanguang threw the letter paper in his hand viciously, "Let Mo Yao take people to the Xinyang County Prince's Mansion, send the Xinyang County King and the Xinyang County Prince's son to become vegetarians, and don't come back before the Chinese New Year."

Feeling the anger of Emperor Yanguang, King Jia quietly stood up and knelt on the ground, so as not to be affected.

After all, Emperor Yanguang was never a reasonable person.

"British Duke, British Duke..." Emperor Yanguang's tone became more and more serious, and he suddenly looked at King Jia who was kneeling on the ground, "Tell me, how should British Duke be punished?"

"Let the people in his family come to apologize to Baoshan, make an apology!" King Jia's expression turned from surprise to anger, and he said through gritted teeth, "The apology can't be inferior to the red coral sculpture from the former Tang family that the British Duke gave to General Mo."

"When I entered the palace, I saw the sword tassel on the waist of General Mo familiar, so I asked one more question. Only then did I know that the Duke of England gave the same sword tassel to General Mo and his son's house as a new year gift, and gave it to General Mo's sword tassel There are red coral carvings from the Tang family from the previous dynasty hanging on the wall, but the sword tassels sent to me are all bare, which shows that I have started to look down on my son. This time to apologize to Baoshan, you must be sincere." Jiawang's eyes were full. Looking forward to Emperor Yanguang.

"Look at your promise! Gold key, open the warehouse and move him a few boxes of coral and agate. Don't let me see him in such a shameful state again." Think carefully, and at the same time feel that the British public does not know how to restrain themselves.

He raised his hand and tapped on the soft handrail, and finally had an idea, "Let Bai Qianli draw up an order and order the Duke of England to repair the imperial tomb."

After hearing Emperor Yanguang's words, King Jia's eyes flashed with deep surprise, but his face showed a slight grievance.

He didn't wonder that Emperor Yanguang didn't ask people from the British government to make an apology to Baoshan. He was surprised that the British prince offended Emperor Yanguang, and he just went to repair the imperial tomb without even verbally reprimanding him.

To Emperor Yanguang, this was simply a great tolerance.

Maybe the British Guild returned to Chang'an earlier than the Prince of Xinyang and his son.

After Emperor Yanguang got angry, he no longer had the mood to gossip with King Jia. Hearing that King Jia had specially brought the dishes of the palace banquet into the palace for him to see, he just said "intentionally" in a flat tone, and ordered his name to be Golden Key. The eunuch gave King Jia some more rewards, and waved for King Jia to kneel down.

Queen Jia knelt on the ground to communicate with Emperor Yanguang for half the time, so when she walked out of Chiyang Palace, she would inevitably stagger slightly.

Song Nian crouched silently in front of King Jia, feeling the moderate strength on his back, he gritted his teeth secretly, gave up the idea of ​​carrying King Jia on his back to Su Zhaoyi Palace, and instead supported King Jia, trying to share the burden of King Jia. The weight makes it easier for Jiawang to walk.

Fortunately, Su Zhaoyi's residence is not far from Chiyang Palace of Emperor Yanguang.

King Jia loves to hunt on weekdays, and his physical fitness is not bad.

It's just that in the morning, he deliberately skipped a meal and ate pastries that would cause abdominal pain, and knelt at Emperor Yanguang's place for a while, so that King Jia would not fall down.

Although he acted uncomfortable, in fact he was far from the limit he could bear.

"Your Majesty!"

The eunuchs and female officials in Su Zhaoyi's Palace greeted him from a distance, and seeing King Jia's pale face, with sweat visible on his forehead, their eyes flashed distressed, but because they knew where King Jia came from, they didn't even dare to say any more words of concern.

If Emperor Yanguang heard the gossip, it would be Su Zhaoyi's mother and son who would suffer in the end.

Stepping into the Nuan Pavilion, Jia Wang's slightly frowning brows immediately relaxed, and he walked to the soft place behind the screen, lay down on it and sighed comfortably, "Go and bring me a bowl of warm water, and Song Nian also finds a cup of warm water." A place to relax."

Su Zhaoyi's face has a seven-point resemblance to Su Xian's, the biggest difference lies in the eyes.

Su Zhaoyi's eyes are full of aura, as long as she wants, she can make the person looking at her feel any emotion.Su Xian's eyes hide a seemingly invisible charm, even if it is ruthless, it is moving.

In her own palace, Su Zhaoyi usually doesn't like to dress up specially. She wears a half-new vermilion long dress, and only a wooden hairpin made of expensive materials, but the carver makes people call it "wasteful" on her head.

After King Jia's order was announced, someone naturally went to do it.

Su Zhaoyi took the warm water brought by the maid, and walked lightly to King Jia who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, "Drink first, and if you are not in a hurry for the banquet at the house, sleep here before leaving the palace."

King Jia opened his eyes and smiled at Su Zhaoyi, sat up and took the cup from Su Zhaoyi's hand.

After drinking warm water, the labor pains were relieved immediately, and Jia Wang had the heart to talk to Su Zhaoyi, "It's okay, I'll have dinner with Auntie before leaving."

Su Zhaoyi nodded, and waited until all his confidants left the Nuan Pavilion to guard the doors and windows before asking King Jia why he entered the palace and what kind of torture he suffered in Chiyang Palace.

"What kind of torture is this for me?" King Jia waved his hands nonchalantly.

Which adult prince can get benefits in front of Emperor Yanguang?

And he couldn't delay seeing Emperor Yanguang all the time, if he waited until Emperor Yanguang's unhappiness accumulated more and more, he might not only suffer, but also lose face to the previous court.

Because he would not be punished every time he went to see Emperor Yanguang, and occasionally he could get rewards from Emperor Yanguang, so he didn't know how many times he was squeezed by his brothers.

"It's a good thing you can think about it." Su Zhaoyi picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the fine sweat on King Jia's head, and quietly listened to what King Jia told her about what happened in the main courtyard of the princess yesterday.

Compared with the communication with Emperor Yanguang, which was full of language arts, the dialogue between King Jia and Su Zhaoyi was almost unreserved.

"The British government..." Although Su Zhaoyi was used to many winds and rains in the palace, it was difficult to tell the strangeness of the British government for a while.

Could it be that he still hated Yu An, who had passed away many years ago?

When Yu Yu first married Qi Liu, there were rumors in the British government that the wife of the eldest son and Yu Yu were at odds.If Mrs. Shizi has been brooding until now, it is not impossible to bully Yu Yu's son while Yu Yu is no longer around.

No matter how weird the British government is, it is still an outsider to Su Zhaoyi, so if you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

The Duke of England would definitely not be a fool if he could win the favor of Emperor Yanguang. When he was sent to the imperial mausoleum, he would think of who he had offended.After he knew how powerful King Jia was, he would naturally warn his family.

'If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you must not implicate the people of Prince Jia's Mansion. '

In contrast, Su Zhaoyi cared more about Prince Jia's Mansion.

"Why did Baoshan run into the princess's yard alone? On the big day of the banquet, didn't she have a servant there? She didn't know how to hug Baoshan." Su Zhaoyi tried to recall the people who needed to be around the princess, but found that Can't remember anyone's face at all.

"Forget it, let Ah Xian teach her more." Su Zhaoyi didn't want to talk about her daughter-in-law in front of her son.

King Jia smiled wryly. Auntie was not a stingy person. The two maids brought out from the palace were all given to Xiao Wu. Naturally, she would do her best to teach the princess, but she had to be willing to learn.

"My aunt's illness is not fully recovered. It's not advisable to be too tired. It's better for Aunt to find the nuns left behind by the two old concubines in the palace, so she can always be by Wangfei's side." King Jia raised his hand as a gesture of gratitude. Su Zhaoyi squeezed her shoulders, her eyes were full of flattery.

"After so many years, why hasn't she made any progress?" Su Zhaoyi snorted softly, and suddenly raised her hand to pinch her son's face, "I don't care what happens to her, you must not let Ah Xian be wronged. I just thought that recuperating in the palace is boring , let A Xian go out to let the wind go, it can be regarded as enjoying the blessing of children and grandchildren for me, but it's not really going out to be your old mother."

King Jia didn't dare to struggle, and was afraid of leaving red marks on his face. It would be embarrassing for Songnian and others to see him, so he could only beg for mercy, "Auntie! Let go! My son will definitely not wrong my aunt, even if I don't protect her." Aunt, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu also cannot allow others to bully their little granny."

Su Zhaoyi heard many assurances from King Jia before letting go.

Forget it, the palace is so big anyway, it's okay if they don't like each other, just don't meet each other.

"The Hanzhuyuan where Xiao Wu goes to school, is there any nieces of Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li? Let him stay away from them on weekdays, so as not to be sad in the future." Su Zhaoyi asked in a low voice.

King Jia covered his blushing face, not sure if he had been pinched, and his voice was vague, "Why is there so much trouble over there? Could it be that someone is pregnant?"

Although no one dared to say it, Emperor Yanguang had aged very quickly in recent years, even the older concubines in the palace dressed themselves in an old-fashioned way, for fear of offending Emperor Yanguang.Su Zhaoyi's newly made clothes during the Chinese New Year are all honey-combined or crimson purple or navy blue, and her hair accessories are mostly emerald jade.

Unless the son is entering the palace, he will wear clothes that make him feel good.

Invisible sarcasm flashed in Su Zhaoyi's eyes, "If it's really pregnant, and I want to get rid of the other party completely for the sake of the young child in the womb, I will think highly of them instead."

King Jia understood in seconds.

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li are living happily, but they insist on being demons.

"Why this time?" King Jia asked in a low voice.

Su Zhaoyi replied, "They don't know why, but suddenly they are sure that the sage will make another good concubine, so that they can gather together the noble, virtuous and virtuous four concubines."

"After all, you are still too young." Su Zhaoyi shook her head, "Look at the harem of the saint. Since the saint ascended the throne, the people who can give birth to offspring are court ladies and female officials. The candidates for your marriage are also from low-born backgrounds. Four For the prince’s concubines, no one’s father can exceed the sixth rank, and the concubines bestowed are all female officials and court ladies. But in the heart of the sage, the most important thing is family background.”

"He looks down on us from the bottom of his heart. The empress, noble concubine and virtuous concubine who have been treated coldly these years are because they are afraid that their princes will threaten his status." Su Zhaoyi looked in the direction of Chiyang Palace with a distant gaze, " Just look at it, if there really is a good concubine, it must be a noble lady from a famous family."

King Jia thought about it carefully, but he couldn't say any rebuttal words.

Back then, when Emperor Yanguang ascended the throne by abnormal means, the two concubine brothers and the younger brother of the first relative did not live for half a year.

Su Zhaoyi has never deliberately concealed anything from King Jia. King Jia knew from a young age that when Emperor Yanguang first came to the throne, the harem was extremely chaotic, and accidents happened to princes or princesses almost every day.

It's not that the queen, noble concubine and virtuous concubine have never been pregnant, they even gave birth. Unfortunately, except for the queen's Princess Dekang, none of their other children survived.

It is precisely because too many children died young that Emperor Yanguang rearranged the princes and princesses three years after he ascended the throne.

Even according to the rearranged ranking, the probability of the prince's death is still astonishing.

Now the youngest prince is the tenth prince, but Emperor Yanguang only has five living princes.

Many people don't know that Su Xian also slipped a child away without a sound.

A minor illness last year made Su Xian linger on the bed, precisely because Su Xian dreamed of a person who looked almost exactly the same as Jia Wang but was somewhat different standing behind Jia Wang, and called her 'Aniang' with a smile.

The child in the dream happened to be four or five years younger than King Jia, even his age.

After Su Xian woke up, she felt sad from her heart, and was very depressed for a while.

It's ridiculous that Emperor Yanguang surrounded the palace like an iron bucket, but the lives of the princes and daughters in the palace are cheaper than cats and dogs.

Who can believe that there is no connivance of Emperor Yanguang?

King Jia held Su Zhaoyi's hand tightly, "Aniang"

"You don't have to worry, A Niang has seen through the saints for a long time, why would you be sad?" Su Zhaoyi held King Jia's hand between them with a backhand, "A Niang is just regretful, there is no way to fight for you because your mother is precious."

"And..." Tears welled up in the corners of Su Zhaoyi's eyes, "Axian has been with me for so many years and has gone through countless hardships and ups and downs, but I failed to protect her child. I feel ashamed."

Su Zhaoyi's emotions come and go quickly, she wipes away the tears on her face and regains her composure, and asks people to take the dishes that King Jia brought into the palace to warm in the small kitchen.

After having lunch with King Jia, Su Zhaoyi ordered someone to bring the account books, as if she wanted to fill up King Jia's carriage. When she heard that Emperor Yanguang had already received many rewards, she shook her head regretfully, and only chose the book for her son. He built a screen for tribute from the south of the Yangtze River, and chose many things for Su Xian.

The rest have no share at all.

Among the things for Su Xian, there are a few things that are suitable for the little gentleman and the little lady.

King Jia could ask Prince Qinghe to entertain guests for him, but Ji Xinxue had no reason to evade the responsibility of welcoming guests.

The eldest lady has been resident in the backyard to assist the princess, and the fourth lady will always be distracted by acquaintances, unknowingly delaying the time to return to the gate, and Ji Jingyu can't leave the gate.

Ji Xinxue can only be thankful that the third lady is still reliable, he is not alone and helpless after all.

After going through the difficult and chaotic first three days, Ji Xinxue was finally relieved.

He doesn't have to go to the gate to greet guests anymore, he only needs to occasionally toast at the running water banquet inside or outside the mansion.

In the afternoon, people from Zhongfu came to Wangfu with invitations, and Ji Xinxue knew that Wangfu specially sent invitations to Zhongfu.

After a little hesitation, Ji Xinxue still chose to go to the door to meet the people from the Zhong Mansion in person.

Ji Jingyu is not at the gate today, and the person who greeted the guests at the gate during the three days of the Flowing Water Banquet was Shi Zhu Shiwulang, the head of the palace.

When Zhu Shiwulang saw Ji Xinxue, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his tone was full of surprise, "Why did the county lord come to the front?"

Ji Xinxue still remembered the oolong caused by her lack of common sense calling 'Master', showing an embarrassed but polite smile, pointing to the door and saying, "I'm here to welcome Aniang's family."

"Ah" Zhu Shiwulang's tone obviously became low, but he didn't get too entangled. In a blink of an eye, he cheered up and followed Ji Xinxue, who accompanied Ji Xinxue to meet the bell mansion.

Although the Zhong Mansion received the invitation from the Wang Mansion, they did not dare to bring the entire family as stated on the invitation.

The only people who came to the banquet were Mrs. Zhong's parents and Zhong Kan and his wife, and they also brought Zhong Kan's two sons and a daughter.

Ji Xinxue could clearly feel that although the people in Zhongfu wanted to get close to him, they were always subconsciously afraid of him.Only Zhong Kan and Zhong Kan's two sons and one daughter will not suddenly look away when they look at Ji Xinxue.

Regarding this, Ji Xinxue could only say that King Jia's deterrent power was too great.

Maybe when they saw his face, they could think of the picture of King Jia leading people into the Zhong Mansion to arrest him.

Ji Xinxue directly brought the people from Zhongfu to Qixia Courtyard.

The person who came to open the door was Mrs. Zhong's dowry beads. She was stunned for a while, then turned around and ran with tears, "My lady! Look who is here!"

Ji Xinxue silently supported her forehead, the people who came today are all officials and family members below the sixth rank.Mrs. Zhong had already gone to entertain guests in the garden, how could she be in Qixia Courtyard.

Caizhu, who ran away, immediately ran back to the gate.

"I've asked Bijuan to invite Auntie, you take... them in first." Ji Xinxue greeted the people of Zhongfu, and went to the garden to entertain guests for Mrs. Zhong.

At the same time, just as Yu Heng was able to walk normally, he was thinking about giving Ji Xinxue a carefully prepared gift.After taking leave with Dean Jiang, he went straight to the shop left by Princess Xianglin.

The grey-haired and bearded shopkeeper had already prepared gifts according to Yu Heng's request. Although he had served Yu Heng for a long time, he had long been accustomed to seeing Yu Heng throwing money without blinking, and his face was a little distressed, "Xiaojun Wang might as well keep the things for himself to enjoy, these are all genuine materials, and it would be a pity if the recipients don’t cherish or use them.”

Yu Heng personally picked up the carved wooden box, and said calmly, "She doesn't need to cherish it or use it."

The old shopkeeper rubbed his ears, "Huh?"

So what do you do for such an expensive gift?

It will not always be to experience the happiness of spending a lot of money.

Yu Heng looked at the shopkeeper very seriously, "As long as she can smile."

The old shopkeeper looked at Yu Heng's back and fell into deep thought.

So... really spend a lot of money to make a smile for Bo's beauty?

It's okay, anyway, the little county king can afford it, as long as the little county king can be happy.

The old shopkeeper who nodded with a smile stopped abruptly, wait, whose girl is the confidante?

Ji Xinxue was in the garden, but his mind was full of thoughts about what Mrs. Zhong and Zhong's family in Qixia courtyard would say.

"What are you thinking about?" A slender finger flashed in front of Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue suddenly came back to her senses, and said with crooked eyebrows, "Brother"

"I heard that your aunt's natal family came to the house and was talking to your aunt. You also go back to Qixia Courtyard to talk to them. I'll do it here." Ji Jingyu said to Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue was a little hesitant, he didn't know if Mrs. Zhong wanted him to stay in Qixia Courtyard.

"Go, even if we're not here, no one will say anything." Ji Jingyu thought that Ji Xinxue's hesitation was because she didn't dare to leave easily, so she gently pushed Ji Xinxue's shoulder and turned around.

After all, Ji Xinxue accepted Ji Jingyu's kindness, and he slowly returned to Qixia Courtyard, just in time to see the two little Doudings standing at the gate of the courtyard with unhappy faces and Cai Zhu with a helpless face.

"What's the matter?" Ji Xinxue carefully distinguished which one was the cousin and which one was the cousin.

The two puffy little buns acted at the same time, one holding
