When Xiao Hongjin was eating with Empress Xie and King Hui, Emperor Cheng on the other side of course also received the news very quickly: "You said that the third child entered Fengzao Palace with the fifth child, and the fifth child has not lost his temper with him yet?"

Liu Zhong lowered his hands attentively: "According to reports from the palace people who saw it, the two princes get along pretty well."

As for how King Jin met Yu Huai'en halfway, Liu Zhong of course reported it, and Emperor Cheng was not surprised - if King Jin would be honest and obedient after being warned by him, he would not have done so many mindless things.

Of course, King Jin took his words as a deaf ear, and Emperor Cheng would not be happy either.

He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while: "So, let someone release a message to the outside world, just say..."

Liu Zhong heard the answer again and again, hesitated at the end, and said: "Your Majesty, when King Jin went out in the morning, he happened to meet Daoist Guiyuan, and the reaction of the Daoist was a bit strange."

"Oh, what a strange method?"

Liu Zhong studied it decently, then bowed his head and said, "What did the Taoist priest not say specifically, but this old servant just feels that something is abnormal, do you want someone to pay attention to it?"

Emperor Cheng waved his hand in a dispirited way: "Then do as you say."

Daoist Guiyuan has brought him a lot of news over the years, and every time he said that it can help him strengthen his body and prolong his life, but the effect is actually limited.If Daoist Gui Yuan had real abilities, Emperor Cheng's trust in him would have faded long ago.

Xiao Hongjin escaped from Fengzao Palace. In modern times, he did not experience the pressure of his parents to urge marriage, but in ancient times, he actually experienced it.

As soon as lunch was removed, Empress Xie asked someone to take out a picture scroll as high as a hill, saying that she wanted to choose a concubine for him.King Hui, who had been here, was still helping, Xiao Hongjin was alone and helpless, so he had to run away in the end.

However, his trip to the palace was not in vain. Apart from the rewards from Emperor Cheng, Empress Xie, and concubines from all walks of life in the harem, all the elder brothers including the prince gave gifts.

Of course, the carriages of Prince Hui's Mansion seem to be [-]% less than those of Prince Yu's on the surface, and are similar to those of Prince Yu's Mansion, but in fact, they secretly sent many good things, all of which were liked by the original owner.

Xiao Hongjin suspected that he had a good attitude towards King Hui when he entered the palace, and when King Hui was happy, he made the gift-giving carriage heavier.

Although Xiao Hongjin was a wealthy second generation in modern times, he still liked this kind of receiving gifts. The original owner spent a lot of money, and there was nothing left in King Jin's private treasury long ago.

No wonder he asked Moyan for money, but Moyan hesitated and couldn't get it.The original owner didn't have any savings, and he stayed outside for two years. If he took a ride with Dongchang, the original owner might not even have the money to stay in the hotel.

Xiao Hongjin handed over the rewards from the various palaces to the original second steward, who is now the chief steward, and ordered him to register and make a record. After that, he did not forget to mention him: "This king hates the guy who eats inside and outside and fills his own pocket, Mei Dehai. Looking at the stables is just a warning, whoever makes this king unhappy again, this king will strip him naked and hang him on the gate of the city to dry!"

Medhai is the former butler.

The newly appointed housekeeper of the palace trembled a bit when he heard the words. The prince's threat sounded absurd, but before their prince returned to the house, he demoted the former chief steward to the stables, and the whole city knew about it. Can't do it!

The original owner didn't care about anything, and the housekeeper was arranged by Emperor Cheng, so naturally there were no rules in the huge Prince Jin's Mansion.But now that Xiao Hongjin is here, he doesn't want the maidservant to climb on the bed again, beat the new butler, and order Commander Gao to clean up the guards of the palace, and the servants perform their duties, divide the areas, run around without incident and catch the first stick Serve, and send it directly back to the inner court supervisor for the second time.

In this way, Xiao Hongjin didn't have to deal with all the eyeliners in the palace, so that they didn't have time to inquire about the news, and it was enough that they couldn't pass it on.

What made Xiao Hongjin depressed was that he had even met the crown prince and Prince Yu, but he never met his family Governor Yu again.This capital city is indeed quite big, especially when one person deliberately hides from another...

Xiao Hongjin gritted her teeth angrily. His supervisor even took advantage of him to "rub" him when he was unconscious. Why did he hide at a critical moment? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with him?

After seven or eight days like this, a gossip suddenly spread in the capital: It was said that someone saw the carriage of King Hui and the seventh lady of Xie Guogong’s mansion parked together. Marry the only unmarried first-line daughter to King Hui as a side concubine.

"Hey, Uncle Xie Guo is King Jin's uncle, and Miss Xie Qi is also King Jin's cousin. The dignified Princess Jin is not going to do it, but wants to grab the position of side concubine. Uncle Xie Guo and Miss Xie Qi are not stupid !"

"You don't know that, King Jin is an incomprehensible person, and there is a prince overpowering him. Uncle Xie Guo chose King Hui precisely because he was smart."

Xiao Hongjin was dressed in casual clothes and sat in the box of the teahouse, listening to the discussions among the tea guests downstairs, without any disturbance in her heart.

"My lord..." Commander Gao hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Xiao Hongjin glanced at him: "Drink your tea, don't listen to what you shouldn't, and don't care about what you shouldn't."

"Yes." Commander Gao lowered his head.

Xiao Hongjin felt that it was very boring. Only the original owner would be fooled by such a simple method.Speaking of which, the original owner really married his direct cousin. Although Xie's support was consolidated, they were tied to the same boat.

The side concubines that the original owner later married were from poor family backgrounds. They either had titles, and the children of the family were not capable enough to live under the shadow of titles; or someone in the family was an official with a low official position or no real power.

However, this news did hit the original owner's pain point. If he was here now, he would definitely go to Xie's house to question Uncle Xie Guo immediately, and then Prince Hui's mansion. After the trouble, he would go to the palace to file a complaint.

At this time, in order to appease the original owner, Emperor Cheng would definitely give a marriage along the way, and Uncle Xie Guo had no choice at all.

Of course, Xiao Hongjin would not do anything, and Miss Xie Qi would not marry King Hui.

In order to show that he made up for King Hui, Emperor Cheng found him a concubine whose family background was only lower than that of the Xie family. With the addition of the Xie family, Emperor Cheng would not be able to sleep.After all, it goes without saying which one is closer, nephew or son-in-law, so what about the side concubine?When the new emperor ascends the throne, how to distribute the titles is not a matter of the new emperor's words.

So Emperor Cheng would not allow it.

After Xiao Hongjin sat for a while, King Hui, who was sweating profusely, came to look for him under the guidance of the palace guards.He ran upstairs and entered the private room in one breath, without even taking a breath, he said, "Fifth Brother, listen to my explanation—"

Xiao Hongjin took a sip of the Que tongue tea brought out from the palace, and took a heavy meal of the tea bowl: "Hmph, why explain? Explain that you didn't block my cousin's carriage, or that you didn't seduce her on purpose?"

King Hui yelled that he was wronged, and Xiao Hongjin found out after he explained that he and Miss Xie Qi's carriage met each other in a narrow alley that day.Because the carriages on both sides were too big to pass, he took the initiative to let people back out.It's just such a small matter, somehow it has been spread more and more outrageous.

After King Hui explained in one breath, he realized that his younger brother was still sitting firmly in his seat after questioning him: "You...are you not angry?"

This is too abnormal, his younger brother usually doesn't listen to his explanation, and directly sues.

Xiao Hongjin glared at him: "If you dare to marry my cousin, see if I will be angry!"

Xiao Xianhui was confused, so he found a place to sit down, thought for a while, and asked, "Fifth Brother, don't you like Cousin Jingshu?"

"I told you it's my cousin!"

"Yes, yours, yours, Brother Huang won't snatch it from you." Prince Hui said clearly.

Only then was Xiao Hongjin satisfied, and she turned her face away and said, "Xie Qi is blah, like a follower, it's too late for me to get rid of her, how can I marry her!"

Anyway, the original owner just wanted King Hui not to steal his things, and he had no affection for Xie Jingshu at all, and the number of times they even had intercourse after marriage was pitifully small.

On the contrary, it was Xie Jingshu who wanted to manage a bunch of side concubines, concubines and concubines for him in the back house. Later, King Jin was imprisoned, Xie's family fell, and she didn't have any children. At the age of 30, he looks gloomy like an old man.

King Hui smiled helplessly: "How many years ago is your old Huangli? Fifth brother, you went to Kunlun Mountain for two years, and you haven't seen Cousin Jingshu since you came back. She has grown into a big girl now, how could she still return?" What are you talking about?"

Xie's family is the Duke's mansion, how could the girl's upbringing be poor.

He met Jingshu's cousin's carriage before, and the other party didn't even show his face. Even when he voluntarily backed down, he asked the maid to come forward to thank him on his behalf. So chaste, quiet and virtuous, how can there be any trace of childhood?

Xiao Hongjin muttered: "Anyway, I don't want to marry a wife who has seen all the embarrassing things about me when I was a child!"

King Hui nodded in understanding, and kept quiet, because he didn't want to marry a girl who had seen him fall into a horse dung pile and was covered in horse manure, and was stung by a nettle leaf, so he couldn't wear pants and could only show his butt... …

Xiao Hongjin squinted at him: "Are you kidding me?"

"No, how could the emperor laugh at you."

"Hey, forgive me, you don't dare!"

In the box next door, a handsome man in a brocade jacket with azurite shell and ink bamboo pattern and a shapu cap stroked the teacup in his hand, his face that had been gloomy for several days seemed to have eased a lot.

Seeing this, Zuo Heng asked tentatively: "The governor said that he would give the prince a wedding gift, do you want to continue to give it?"

The governor of his family also took great pains in order to give this big gift, and even found the reason. Now that King Jin has said that he will not marry his cousin, Zuo Heng is really afraid that he will say that he is giving the wedding gift for the governor. The king was killed, and there is a good reason to continue to send it...

Governor Yu glanced at him, Zuo Heng understood the situation, and immediately lowered his head: "This subordinate understands."

Governor Yu whispered: "The group of bodyguards hired from Huzhou should be killed. They pretended to be bandits and robbed them. They did it cleanly."

"Yes."

After a while, Zuo Heng couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the governor personally deliver it?"

The governor of his family obviously wanted to see the prince, so such a big gift was shipped all the way from Huzhou, he didn't believe that the governor of his family didn't want to ask for some reward from the prince!

Governor Yu: "..."

King Jin is still waiting for him to be "responsible". If he goes, he will not ask for a reward, but will send it to his door on his own initiative!
