As the sky was getting brighter, Situ Yi woke up. His sleeping posture was very correct. When he woke up, he suddenly found someone beside him. He was shocked. Then he remembered that he got married yesterday, and beside him was his new princess Hu Yueya. .
He glanced at Hu Yueya who was lying beside him in the same sleeping posture, sat up, and was about to get out of bed.
As soon as there was any movement from him, Hu Yueya woke up immediately, but her expression was a little tired, she was dazed for a moment before fully waking up: "My lord!"
Situ Yi gave a faint "Yes" and said, "Get up, it's time to go to the palace to pay my respects. You can go to the mother's harem for breakfast."
He got married yesterday and went to pay his respects to the Holy One and the Empress this morning, and the Empress would definitely keep the couple for dinner.
Hu Yueya got up quickly, and offered to serve Situ Yi to dress and wash, but Situ Yi only asked her to help put on a jacket, and said, "There are so many servants, so why do you do it yourself, princess!"
Hu Yueya stopped what she was doing in embarrassment, Situ Yi glanced at her, and thoughtfully told the maid: "Why don't you serve the princess quickly?"
And he himself was Li Youming, the personal eunuch, who came to take care of dressing and washing.
Hu Yueya was being served by the maids to put on makeup, and seeing in the mirror that Situ Yi did not ask the maids to serve her, she felt a little relieved.It's not that he dislikes her and serves her clumsily.
After they got dressed, it was still early, so they drove into the palace together.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya were in the same carriage. He pressed the side wall of the carriage and opened a hidden compartment. Inside was a small box containing steaming fresh snacks. They all tasted light and not heavy. of.
He thought that after entering the palace, the Holy Majesty and the Empress would definitely let them talk first, and then have breakfast in Fengqi Palace after they were done.He is a big man who can resist it, but he is worried that Hu Yueya, who was too tired last night and got up so early to pay his respects to the palace this morning, will not be able to bear it, so he ordered Li Youming to prepare this box of snacks in the carriage before going out.
Situ Yi took out the small box and put it on the small table in the middle of the carriage, and said to Hu Yueya: "Eat something to pad your stomach, it will take a while before you can have breakfast! In order to avoid unbearable hunger in your stomach."
Hu Yueya blushed and nodded: "Thank you, my lord!" She took out a handkerchief to cover a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth covertly, chewing lightly, her mouth could not be seen moving at all.
Situ Yi was not at all surprised by Hu Yueya's behavior as a noble lady. Nowadays, noble ladies are basically like this. It is popular to smile without showing their teeth, and to eat in small bites so that people can't tell. They always engrave the rules and demeanor into the In the bones, it is inevitable that people will feel the same.
Situ Yi himself is a person who respects rules as much as he is bound. Apart from paying attention to these things in public, he does whatever feels comfortable in private.In his previous life, he was attracted by Hu Miaoxue's private wanton behavior which was exactly the same as his own, and then he gradually fell into a trap.
Now he doesn't care about these things anymore. It's better to marry a princess who understands rules and manners than marrying a woman who doesn't know anything and always makes jokes. He has nothing to be dissatisfied with.Women become so stereotyped, isn't it because the men in power force them to be like this?
Situ Yi also stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth. This kind of dessert is made very small for convenience, and even a woman can take a bite of a piece of dessert that is as big as a fingernail. The taste is soft, so that the snacks will not get on the clothes, and it will be disrespectful when you enter the palace to pay your respects.

The carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace. Because of the obvious mark of Prince Jin's Mansion on the carriage, the guards guarding the gate did not block the way, and let the carriage enter the gate of the palace.
All the way was unimpeded, and Situ Yi came down with Hu Yueya and walked all the way to the imperial study when he reached a place where horse-drawn carriages could not go together.
This time point was basically the time when the Holy Majesty was in the imperial study room to revise the memorial and meet the important ministers, so if Situ Yi wanted to take Hu Yueya to meet the holy majesty, he had to go to the imperial study room instead of the Panlong Hall.
When we arrived outside the Imperial Study, since the Holy Majesty was not finished with his work for the time being, it was inconvenient to meet Situ Yi and his wife, so they were asked to wait in the side hall of the Imperial Study.
After a while, the eunuch came to invite the two to have an audience.
When Situ Yi brought Hu Yueya into the main hall of the Imperial Study Room, he looked back at the person who had left the Imperial Study Room before and now could only see a person from the back, thinking in his heart: "Look at the official uniform on that back, it seems to be Mr. Zhang Ge..."
Entering the main hall, when Situ Yi and Hu Yueya greeted the Holy Majesty, he keenly noticed that the Holy Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood.
"The person my father met with just now should be Mr. Zhang Ge. Could it be that Mr. Zhang brought some bad news to my father? Could it be that matter..." Situ Yi kept guessing in his heart.
At this time point in his previous life, he was still a very immature young man, when he was feeling strange to the newly married princess Hu Miaoxue, he fell headlong into the gentle village, and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court.
So now that he was reborn, he is not very clear about what happened in the court at this time.
But there was a major event in the previous life that had such a serious impact that even after a few years, people still dare not mention it. No matter how much Situ Yi in the previous life didn't care about the affairs of the court, he had heard of this major event.
This big event was the one that caused a sensation in the entire court, and even triggered countless student riots - the southern imperial examination cheating case!
He remembered that it seemed to be these few days, and the results of the Beijing Examination held a few days ago were about to be announced...
In the previous life, it was also this session of the exam. After the rankings were released, the northern candidates found that all the candidates on the gold list were from the south, and there was not a single northern candidate on the list.In addition, the chief examiner is a southerner, so countless northern students think that the chief examiner deliberately favors southern candidates, so there is not a single northern candidate on the gold list.
This kind of resentment caused a great sensation in the north, and countless scholars rioted, which had a great influence.In the end, the Holy One had no choice but to send the chief examiner and several assistant examiners to prison in order to appease the anger of the northern students.
In fact, this session of the exam was not at all a combination of southern candidates and the chief examiner cheating. It was because the level of the northern candidates was really inferior to the southern candidates, so no one was on the list.
However, the northern candidates who failed to get on the list didn't care so much. They only saw that no one on the gold list was a northern student, so they vented their anger at not being able to get on the gold list on the southern students and the chief examiner.
In the end, with public opinion, the Holy One had to choose to let several chief examiners and deputy examiners take the blame to quell public anger, and then divided the imperial examination gold list into north and south lists, each with half of the places, so as to protect the interests of northern students.

In fact, this dynasty was not established for a long time. The founder of the country was Situ Yi's grandfather.
The previous dynasty was destroyed by aliens. Taizu led the army to drive the aliens out of the Central Plains, and immediately conquered the world. After fighting for many years, the world was stabilized for more than ten years, and Taizu died due to the recurrence of old injuries.
Today, the Holy Majesty has successfully succeeded to the throne, and he has been sitting on the throne for more than ten years now, and it has only been about 30 years since the founding of this dynasty.
When foreign races invaded the Central Plains, the north was the most ravaged by foreign races, and the south suffered much less.
Fortunately, there was a general in the previous dynasty who had been working hard to lead the army to fight against the alien race. Before the alien race entered the Northland, the general led the remnants of the army to hold them back for a period of time. Many northerners took advantage of this time to escape to the south in time.
However, even so, the vitality of the Northland was severely damaged. Many buildings were robbed and burned by foreigners. Most of the bulky and difficult things like books were burned.
Even after the world was pacified and many northerners who fled to the south returned to their hometowns and rebuilt their homes, the education level of the northerners was still far behind that of the southerners.
This dynasty re-opened the imperial examinations, and the disparity in educational level between the north and the south was not obvious in the first imperial examinations, because many northern students who took the imperial examinations were survivors of the war in the previous dynasty, and their knowledge was not inferior to southern students too much.
But now that decades have passed, the children of the northerners are far inferior to the southerners because the education level in the north is too far behind that in the south. Candidates all failed!
Situ Yi guessed that Zhang Ge's old visit to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty was to inform the Holy Majesty about the list of the gold list.
However, judging from the riots of the northern students in his previous life memory, the Holy Majesty probably did not modify the list, but let Zhang Ge's list of veterans be posted truthfully.
Situ Yi still had a good understanding of the Holy Majesty's character. He knew that his father paid more attention to practical work, and he thought that if he had the ability, he would be nominated on the gold list. If he failed to be nominated on the gold list, it must be because all the northern students did not have that ability!
However, the Holy Majesty did not expect that the students from the north would react so fiercely, which almost caused a rebellion in the north, and finally forced him to hold his nose and compromise, and made a north-south list so that the students in the north would not have to compete with the students in the south for the gold list.A few court officials were also brought in.
Situ Yi was thinking about the imperial examination fraud case in his previous life, which was not a fraud case, and he didn't show any strangeness on his face.
The Holy Majesty was not in the mood to say anything more to them, so he only gave a few words of reprimand, and then gave them a large reward and asked them to go to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya retired respectfully and left the Imperial Study Room.
Then the two went to Fengqi Palace, and the queen had been waiting for them to pay their respects early.
The queen looked at her new daughter-in-law with a smile on her face, her good mood was revealed from her eyebrows, and her attitude towards Hu Yueya was also very kind and gentle.
As a queen, although all the princes and princesses are her children in name, several princes including the prince will bring their new daughter-in-law to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects the next day after they get married, but her real biological only one is Situ Yi However, the daughter-in-law of her own son naturally has a different weight in her heart than other princes and concubines.
The queen's meeting gift for the new daughter-in-law is also very meaningful. She took off a jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand and put it in Hu Yueya's hand. My brother's grandmother handed down a pair to Ben Gong. When Jing Le got married, Ben Gong gave her one, and this one is for you."
Although the queen is the successor, she is not the concubine who was promoted to the successor, but the emperor died of illness shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, and remarried her as the new queen.Therefore, although the queen was not the original concubine Yuanhou, she also married into the palace with eight palanquins. The wedding when she married was more grand than the wedding when Yuanhou married the emperor who was only a prince.Therefore, as the official wife of the Ming media, the queen has always been too lazy to pay attention to the concubines who are concubines in her eyes.
Hu Yueya took the jade bracelet and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!"
It's just that after she said the word 'reward', she didn't notice that the smile on the Queen's face faded.
Hu Yueya put the jade bracelet on her hand, the crystal clear white jade bracelet on her slender wrist made her skin white as jade.
The queen gave her a flattering compliment: "It really suits you."
Situ Yi, who knew the queen's character well, didn't know that Hu Yueya was being too respectful and polite, which made the queen displeased.
When the queen gave Hu Yueya the jade bracelet before, she said so much to her, but in the end she only said that she had given the jade bracelet to her, and did not say that she would reward her.The queen's words really meant that she simply regarded Hu Yueya as her daughter-in-law.
However, Hu Yueya's sentence "Thank you for the reward from the queen mother" defined the queen's mother-in-law's meeting ceremony with her daughter-in-law as the queen's reward to the princess, which inevitably made the queen feel that her intimacy was in vain.
But Situ Yi also felt that Hu Yueya couldn't be blamed for this, after all, could the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the royal family be the same as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of ordinary people?
Moreover, Situ Yi has no love for Hu Yueya's wife, and only treats her as a subordinate. Naturally, he doesn't think it's a big deal that Hu Yueya usually pays too much attention to status and rules.
So Situ Yi just changed the topic and said: "Mother, when can I have breakfast? It's been a long time for my son to have breakfast here, so I'm waiting on an empty stomach early today!"
The Queen's attention was immediately diverted. After all, it is important for a daughter-in-law to have a son. She heard her son say that she hadn't had breakfast yet, so she quickly ordered the maid: "Hurry up and pass on the meal!"
While waiting for the meal to be passed on, the Queen looked at Situ Yi reproachfully: "You kid, you don't know how to feel sorry for your body. You know that you can't eat at the Queen Mother's earlier today, and you don't know how to eat something in advance in the mansion to make a cushion." " She said to Hu Yueya again, "Yueya, you have to keep an eye on him, pay more attention to his food and clothing, and don't let him let his own temper!"
This is to blame Hu Yueya, the princess, for not noticing her husband's body.
Although it was a bit of a fuss, Hu Yueya immediately stood up and pleaded guilty: "Yes, mother, it is all the daughter-in-law's fault, and the daughter-in-law must pay attention in the future!"
She was also embarrassed to say that the two had snacks on the carriage. After all, Situ Yi specially ordered this snack to be prepared for her stomach, but she didn't expect to prepare something at all.Situ Yi only ate two of the small box of snacks, and the rest basically went into her stomach.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When Situ Yi and Hu Yueya came out of Fengqi Palace after breakfast, when the cold wind blew, he could hear Hu Yueya's breath of relief.
Compared with being respectful and tense when paying respects to the Holy Majesty, it is more difficult to receive various instructions in front of the queen, and one must always be careful.However, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been like this, especially when the mother-in-law has a high status, the daughter-in-law has to be careful and serve her.
As a man caught between two women, Situ Yi pretended not to notice the edge hidden in the harmonious atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Anyway, the empress could only beat Hu Yueya verbally, it is impossible to do anything too much, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't live together, so they can only see each other at the time when they come to pay their respects every month.
Compared with the concubines of the second and third princes, Hu Yueya is already considered happy, because the concubines of these two princes not only have the empress as the mother-in-law on their heads, but also the mother-in-law of the two princes' biological mothers. They are not as reasonable as the queen.
But looking at Hu Yueyan's lips that had turned pale due to nervousness, Situ Yi still reminded her: "The empress likes to be close to her family, don't be so respectful and unfamiliar. In fact, the empress's attitude towards you was very kind at the beginning. Yes, it's just you..."
Hu Yueya recalled the whole process of asking for safety in Fengqi Palace this time, and also realized that her response was inappropriate, her face turned pale, and she said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord, for your reminder!"
Situ Yi shook his head slightly, it seems that Hu Yueya can't change it, but that's fine, it's impossible for the royal family to really want to be as close as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between the husband and wife of ordinary people, after all, even Even if he and the empress are biological mothers and sons, they have to salute and greet each other, and the relationship between mother and son has been separated for life.
He doesn't have high requirements for Hu Yueya, the princess, to be a qualified and competent princess, don't make trouble, guard the Jin Palace, and after he succeeds, she can just be a qualified and competent queen.
Back at Prince Jin's Mansion, Situ Yi changed into loose clothes, and lay on the couch drinking herbal tea.Please calm down for this trip, even though the weather is not hot, but after walking for a long time, and wearing three layers of thick clothes, he is still hot and sweating.
As a newlywed, he was given a three-day leave by the Holy Majesty, and he didn't have to go to court for these three days.
Situ Yi thought that in just these two days, he would try to release the rankings, and the big event of the student riot in the north that he remembered was about to happen. It was a good thing that his three-day marriage leave just avoided the worst of the situation.
When he was thinking about whether to use this matter to deliver a memorial to the Holy Majesty in three days' time, Hu Yueya walked over.
He looked up and found that Hu Yueya was still dressed in the same costume as before, and hadn't changed at all. When she was a little strange, Hu Yueya asked tentatively: "My lord, those two from Hongmeiyuan are coming to visit my concubine. Have you met them?"
Situ Yi was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that there were still two of his concubines living in Hongmei Garden!
These two concubines were court maids given to him by the empress to teach others. They could only be regarded as handsome with well-shaped features, not very beautiful beauties, because the empress was worried that he would become obsessed with women and ruin his health.
In his previous life, the concubine he married was Hu Miaoxue. He remembered that Hu Miaoxue dismissed these two concubines not long after she got married, and Hongmei Garden had no chance to welcome a new owner, so it remained vacant.
After he came back from rebirth, he didn't remember these two concubines, and forgot them in Hongmeiyuan.Now they probably took advantage of the fact that the concubine had just married and came here to show their presence.
Situ Yi remembered the origins of the two concubines in Hongmeiyuan, but couldn't remember their looks and names, so he said to Hu Yueya: "You can figure it out!"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Hu Yueya began to follow her mother to learn the housekeeping methods that a regular wife should learn and the methods to deal with restless concubines and concubines after she reached Jiji.
Because she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, unless her father is imprisoned by the sage and the whole family is ransacked, otherwise she will never marry someone as a concubine, even if she marries a prince, she will be the official wife and princess.
So Mrs. Hu taught her how to be a regular wife, including how to deal with her husband's maid.
Generally, the housemaids are given by the mother-in-law to the husband to teach personnel affairs. This kind of man's first woman always has a special place in a man's heart.
So Mrs. Hu taught her how to test the status of the maid in the husband's heart when she just married, and then choose whether to solve it quickly or take it slowly according to her husband's attitude towards them.
Now when Hu Yueya heard Situ Yi say that she could figure it out, she was a little dazed. After all, she had too little experience. What Mrs. Hu taught was only theory but no practice. She didn't understand that Situ Yi was real. Giving full power to her is still to see her performance.
Hu Yueya regained her composure and ordered the maid to let the two concubines from Hongmeiyuan come in.
She was sitting next to Situ Yi, and received the two concubines in front of him.
When the two concubines from Hongmei Garden came in, their eyes lit up as soon as they saw Situ Yi, and they looked at him softly, trying to show the demeanor they used to have when they got along with him in private, so as to awaken the lord's pity for them.
However, the reborn Situ Yi has already forgotten them for more than ten years, how can he remember how he got along with them? It was because they showed up today that he let him get to know them again, otherwise he would not know even if he met them in the palace. who are they.
The two concubines who can't remember are naturally not as important in Situ Yi's heart as the princess he married.So he drank the herbal tea calmly, as if he didn't see two more living people in the room.
Hu Yueya felt a little bit down, she hit them as the mistress according to the procedure, gave them another reward, and let them go back.
Mrs. Hu had taught her that if the housemaids had fallen out of favor with her husband, they would be allowed to occupy the position of concubines.Because the housemaids who teach personnel affairs are generally a few years older than the master, and their appearance is not very beautiful, and their youth will pass away quickly. It is better for them to occupy the position than the fresh and tender young girls who come in later.
So when Hu Yueya saw that the two concubines were only handsome in appearance and they were also in their twenties, and Situ Yi treated them with a normal attitude, she let go of all her thoughts on how to deal with the favored concubine.
Afterwards, Situ Yi's nanny handed over the account book and treasury keys to Hu Yueya, the mistress, and the process of the Jin Palace's stewards visiting the princess.
Situ Yi, the King of Jin, stood by to support the princess, making Hu Yueya's process of taking over the internal affairs of the Prince Jin's mansion much smoother.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
While Hu Yueya was busy taking over the internal affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, Situ Yi was free.
He just took advantage of knowing the news about the cheating case in the exam in advance, and took the opportunity to trick the sixth prince's future father-in-law into it.
The sixth prince's future father-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the most loyal supporter of the Sixth Prince. In the corruption case in his previous life, the amount of bribes the Minister of the Ministry of Officials received was so huge that even Situ Yi was shocked.Of course, this huge sum of money was used for the Sixth Prince to buy people's hearts. Later, Situ Yi found out, in order not to implicate the Sixth Prince, he committed suicide by swallowing the gold himself.
But the sixth prince was also very cold. After his father-in-law committed suicide, not long after his concubine died of grief, leaving only a young daughter behind.Soon he married a new princess with a powerful family.
Situ Yi found out that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who will be a corrupt official in the future, is not relentless in accepting bribes, so he simply tried to get him to accept bribes from an official involved in a fraud case, and drag him into this fraud case Li, thus affecting the sixth prince behind him.
Situ Yi had many opponents in the battle for the heir apparent, but the one who disgusted him the most was the sixth prince, so he could bully this sixth brother whenever he had the chance.
After the successful layout, Situ Yi came to the garden of King Jin Mansion to enjoy the flowers in a good mood. When he saw the koi swimming in the pond, his heart moved, and he told Li Youming who was following him: "Bring me a fishing rod. The king wants to fish for koi!"
Because it was in Prince Jin's mansion, Situ Yi didn't like to bring a large group of people when he was in a leisurely mood, so he only brought Li Youming with him.
Only Li Youming can handle the fishing rod.
Situ Yi didn't want to sit in the gazebo waiting for his fishing rod, so he got up to enjoy the flowers.
At the corner of a rockery, Situ Yi had just turned the corner when a hurried figure bumped into him.
Although he was caught off guard and bumped into him, he had a steady foot after practicing riding and shooting all the year round, so he was not knocked down, but the person who hit him fell to the ground and cried out in pain: "Oh!"
Situ Yi thought the voice was a little familiar, and looked at the person on the ground, but saw a familiar face: "Hu Miaoxue?"
Isn't this girl dressed in the clothes of a third-class maidservant the same Hu Miaoxue whom he went to meet before?
Hu Miaoxue looked up at him, and quickly bowed her head: "My lord! Greetings to my lord! This servant just offended my lord, please forgive me!"
Hu Miaoxue wanted to marry into the Prince Jin's mansion as a dowry maid, of course she could no longer be a civilian girl, and could only be a real maid who called herself a "servant".
But she endured the humiliation and signed the deed of selling herself as Hu Yueya's dowry maid and entered the Jin Palace. As a result, on the wedding night, Hu Yueya took advantage of Situ Yi's absence and sent her to do rough work among the third-class maids.
Hu Miaoxue, who had never suffered from such hardships, couldn't bear the heavy rough work, and she didn't want to be turned into an aunt by these rough jobs, so that she would have no chance to attack the male god.
So with the help of the system map, Hu Miaoxue located Situ Yi's location, and took a chance to come to the garden to have a chance encounter.
She thought that based on Situ Yi's initial affection for her, she would definitely care a little when she saw her wearing the coarse clothes of a third-class maid, right?This time is her chance to get out of the current situation.
In order to make the chance encounter created this time to achieve her own goals, Hu Miaoxue carefully discussed with the system the seven ABCDEFG strategy plans, which can completely deal with various emergencies.
But Situ Yi stared blankly at her face, then reached out and raised her chin to carefully look at her beautiful face that was not inferior to Hu Yueya's.
In his ears, the shy woman in front of him kept saying in his heart: [Success!It worked!He was successfully attracted by me, and then follow the plan A! 】
Situ Yi didn't understand what plan A she was talking about, but he thought that this woman was parasitized by ghosts or monsters, and she tried every means to get into his Prince Jin's mansion. This unstable factor could no longer be let go.
So he pretended to be interested in her, and smiled: "Your name is Hu Miaoxue, right?" He glanced at the clothes of the third-class maid on her body, "This king will take you here from the princess, you You don't have to be a maid anymore."
If it wasn't for Hu Miaoxue's father being a member of Hu Shangshu's clan, he could have made her disappear completely.
But considering the princess and the Hu family, Situ Yi thought about it and decided to say hello to Hu Yueya.
Hu Miaoxue didn't know what Situ Yi was thinking, of course she was happy, but she was also very strange: [Since he has feelings for me, why didn't his favorability increase at all?The system's favorability detection function must be broken! 】
The system said indifferently: [An ancient man wanted to play with the maid when he saw the color, do he still need to have a good impression? 】
Hu Miaoxue: […]
At this time, Situ Yi, who was very close to Hu Miaoxue, also heard her conversation with the system, and he was a little speechless after being identified by the system as 'seeing sex'.
However, the description of 'ancient man' made Situ Yi a little concerned. Isn't this 'system' from this era?It's from the future?
Situ Yi was startled by the guess in his heart and trembled a little. If this system, which is unknown whether it is a ghost or a monster, really comes from the future...
A whimsical idea came into his mind.
When Situ Yi looked at Hu Miaoxue again, his eyes changed to look at a rare treasure again, and his genuine love for the treasure was reflected in the system's constant reminder of the rising favorability.
When Li Youming brought the fishing rod, Situ Yi didn't even look at the koi he wanted to catch before and the fishing rod he had been waiting for for a long time, and directly led Hu Miaoxue to the main courtyard where Hu Yueya lived.
When Hu Yueya saw Situ Yi bringing Hu Miaoxue in a maid outfit, her heart skipped a beat, her intuition was not good.
But she didn't show any strangeness on her face, she went forward and said, "My lord!"
Situ Yi said straight to the point: "This maid of the concubine's, the king wants it."
Hu Yueya clenched her hands tightly into fists in her wide sleeves, her well-manicured nails dug into the flesh of her palms, and the pain awakened her reason.She maintained her posture as a virtuous princess, and asked with a smile: "Then what identity does the prince plan to give Miao Xue?"
Situ Yi said indifferently: "You don't need your identity." He just wanted to control Hu Miaoxue in his own hands, he didn't intend to accept her, and he didn't want to accept the princess's dowry maid to hit the princess in the face when he was just married. "Just transfer her to be an errand in the king's yard, and there is no need to do other unnecessary things."
When Hu Yueya heard the words, she was relieved and at the same time secretly hated.
She was relieved because the lord did not give Hu Miaoxue an identity. If it was reported that the lord had accepted her dowry maid within three days of the wedding, wouldn't she be ashamed?Fortunately, the prince still took care of her face.
But she secretly hated Hu Miaoxue for being able to work as an errand in the prince's courtyard in the front yard. Wouldn't that mean that the two of them get along together every day?She would rather give Hu Miaoxue a courtyard to live in alone than let Hu Miaoxue be a maid in the capacity of the prince. Who knows if this will lead to a concubine's eldest son.
However, Hu Yueya couldn't raise any objections, and she couldn't change what Situ Yi had decided.The only thing she could do was arrange it, and try to transfer Hu Miaoxue to Situ Yi's side in the front yard as unobtrusively and unobtrusively as possible.
Hu Yueya concentrated all her hatred on Hu Miaoxue, and Hu Miaoxue was delighted that she could often see the male god who was the target of the attack, but Situ Yi had already secretly ordered someone to clean up a small courtyard in his front yard specially used to imprison Hu Miaoxue.
After Hu Miaoxue happily moved in, Situ Yi secretly sent people to strictly guard this small courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Among the maids serving Situ Yi, there suddenly appeared a maid who looked very similar to Hu Miaoxue and had the exact same name.It's just that this maid was arranged by Situ Yi to take care of the collection of books in Prince Jin's Mansion, and she usually lives in seclusion, so few people could see her.
Hu Yueya, who had always been vigilant about Hu Miaoxue's favor, didn't know about it for the time being, and then it was time for Sanchao to return home.
This day was already the last day of Situ Yi's wedding leave, and he accompanied Hu Yueya back to Hu's residence.
Situ Yi was sitting in the carriage on the way to Hu's Mansion, and he heard the sound of countless scholars uniting to make trouble.Although it was two streets away, he could still hear a little sound.
Thinking of how big this matter is now, even Situ Yi, who was immersed in the gentle village in his previous life and didn't pay much attention to it, couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Father should have dealt with it in advance when he learned about the results of the examination from Mr. Zhang Ge. OK……"
Don't say that it's unfair to wipe out those southern students who have better grades than northern students. In Situ Yi's view, there are few things that are fair and just in this world, and even the imperial examination is not fair.
The most important thing is balance.
In recent years, the number of southern students who have passed the Jinshi examination far exceeds that of northern students, and now officials from the south account for more than half of the imperial court.Originally, officials liked to form cliques with their fellow countrymen. If things went on like this, the entire court was filled with officials from the south. If they united, even the emperor would be able to make them empty.
Therefore, Situ Yi felt that the number of candidates from the north and the south should be balanced when admitting candidates.
But now that there is such a big commotion, the sage probably has recollected it, and the north-south list is the remedial measure.
Anyway, the result of this imperial examination fraud case is good in Situ Yi's opinion, so he will not intervene without authorization.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Hu Mansion, and Hu Shangshu and his family were already waiting in front of the gate.
Situ Yi took Hu Yueya out of the carriage and entered the Hu Mansion. Hu Yueya followed Mrs. Hu to the backyard.He and Hu Shangshu, Weng and his son-in-law were chatting about what happened in the court hall in the front yard, but they both talked about insignificant things in a tacit understanding, and didn't mention a word about the sudden imperial examination fraud case.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In the backyard, Mrs. Hu sent her daughter-in-law away, and when talking privately with her daughter, she asked, "Ya'er, how are you doing in Prince Jin's mansion? How does Prince Jin treat you?"
Hu Yueya said: "My lord is good to me. I have taken care of the internal affairs of the palace, and even gave me the keys to the treasury. The two concubines who served the lord before I entered the door have long since fallen out of favor. There is nothing to worry about, just... ..." Tears welled up in her eyes.
Madam Hu was quite at ease when she heard it, but when she saw her daughter crying while talking, she hurriedly asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Ya'er, have you been wronged in some way?"
Hu Yueya wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said bitterly: "It's not that bitch Hu Miaoxue! I sent her to be a third-class maid, but she can still meet the prince and show her face in front of the prince, I don't know Why is it that the prince is so obsessed that we are just newly married, and personally brought that bitch to me to ask her to go away!"
Mrs. Hu was shocked and said: "What? King Jin actually accepted Hu Miaoxue when you were newly married?"
Hu Yueya explained: "The lord didn't give her an identity, he just transferred her to work by his side. I just thought that she would often see the lord, I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted her daughter: "It's good if you don't give her an identity. She is just a maid, and her life and death are in control. You can find a way to make her fall out of favor, and then let you decide. If she has the status of a concubine, you On the contrary, it is difficult to deal with her."
After finishing speaking, she asked her daughter to listen to her again, and whispered something in Hu Yueya's ear.
Hu Yueya nodded again and again, "Mother, is this really possible?"
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Do as mother said, and I guarantee you will be favored by King Jin!"
At noon, Situ Yi stayed at the Hu Mansion for lunch. It was not the first time he had dealt with Hu Shangshu, an old fox. This time, Hu Shangshu saw his ability in politics and supported him a bit confidence.The relationship between Weng and son-in-law is also much closer.
When Hu Yueya came out from the backyard when the time for returning to the door was over, Situ Yi found that her spirit was different from when she first came here, as if she was a little more confident.
This made him a little curious about what Madam Hu had said to Hu Yueya to make her change so much.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya got into the carriage and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Originally, it was getting late when we left Hu's mansion, so after returning to Jinwang's mansion, the two of them had dinner, and the sky turned dark.
There are no entertainment activities after dark, everyone goes to bed early, and the couple will naturally go to bed early
He glanced at Hu Yueya who was lying beside him in the same sleeping posture, sat up, and was about to get out of bed.
As soon as there was any movement from him, Hu Yueya woke up immediately, but her expression was a little tired, she was dazed for a moment before fully waking up: "My lord!"
Situ Yi gave a faint "Yes" and said, "Get up, it's time to go to the palace to pay my respects. You can go to the mother's harem for breakfast."
He got married yesterday and went to pay his respects to the Holy One and the Empress this morning, and the Empress would definitely keep the couple for dinner.
Hu Yueya got up quickly, and offered to serve Situ Yi to dress and wash, but Situ Yi only asked her to help put on a jacket, and said, "There are so many servants, so why do you do it yourself, princess!"
Hu Yueya stopped what she was doing in embarrassment, Situ Yi glanced at her, and thoughtfully told the maid: "Why don't you serve the princess quickly?"
And he himself was Li Youming, the personal eunuch, who came to take care of dressing and washing.
Hu Yueya was being served by the maids to put on makeup, and seeing in the mirror that Situ Yi did not ask the maids to serve her, she felt a little relieved.It's not that he dislikes her and serves her clumsily.
After they got dressed, it was still early, so they drove into the palace together.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya were in the same carriage. He pressed the side wall of the carriage and opened a hidden compartment. Inside was a small box containing steaming fresh snacks. They all tasted light and not heavy. of.
He thought that after entering the palace, the Holy Majesty and the Empress would definitely let them talk first, and then have breakfast in Fengqi Palace after they were done.He is a big man who can resist it, but he is worried that Hu Yueya, who was too tired last night and got up so early to pay his respects to the palace this morning, will not be able to bear it, so he ordered Li Youming to prepare this box of snacks in the carriage before going out.
Situ Yi took out the small box and put it on the small table in the middle of the carriage, and said to Hu Yueya: "Eat something to pad your stomach, it will take a while before you can have breakfast! In order to avoid unbearable hunger in your stomach."
Hu Yueya blushed and nodded: "Thank you, my lord!" She took out a handkerchief to cover a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth covertly, chewing lightly, her mouth could not be seen moving at all.
Situ Yi was not at all surprised by Hu Yueya's behavior as a noble lady. Nowadays, noble ladies are basically like this. It is popular to smile without showing their teeth, and to eat in small bites so that people can't tell. They always engrave the rules and demeanor into the In the bones, it is inevitable that people will feel the same.
Situ Yi himself is a person who respects rules as much as he is bound. Apart from paying attention to these things in public, he does whatever feels comfortable in private.In his previous life, he was attracted by Hu Miaoxue's private wanton behavior which was exactly the same as his own, and then he gradually fell into a trap.
Now he doesn't care about these things anymore. It's better to marry a princess who understands rules and manners than marrying a woman who doesn't know anything and always makes jokes. He has nothing to be dissatisfied with.Women become so stereotyped, isn't it because the men in power force them to be like this?
Situ Yi also stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth. This kind of dessert is made very small for convenience, and even a woman can take a bite of a piece of dessert that is as big as a fingernail. The taste is soft, so that the snacks will not get on the clothes, and it will be disrespectful when you enter the palace to pay your respects.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace. Because of the obvious mark of Prince Jin's Mansion on the carriage, the guards guarding the gate did not block the way, and let the carriage enter the gate of the palace.
All the way was unimpeded, and Situ Yi came down with Hu Yueya and walked all the way to the imperial study when he reached a place where horse-drawn carriages could not go together.
This time point was basically the time when the Holy Majesty was in the imperial study room to revise the memorial and meet the important ministers, so if Situ Yi wanted to take Hu Yueya to meet the holy majesty, he had to go to the imperial study room instead of the Panlong Hall.
When we arrived outside the Imperial Study, since the Holy Majesty was not finished with his work for the time being, it was inconvenient to meet Situ Yi and his wife, so they were asked to wait in the side hall of the Imperial Study.
After a while, the eunuch came to invite the two to have an audience.
When Situ Yi brought Hu Yueya into the main hall of the Imperial Study Room, he looked back at the person who had left the Imperial Study Room before and now could only see a person from the back, thinking in his heart: "Look at the official uniform on that back, it seems to be Mr. Zhang Ge..."
Entering the main hall, when Situ Yi and Hu Yueya greeted the Holy Majesty, he keenly noticed that the Holy Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood.
"The person my father met with just now should be Mr. Zhang Ge. Could it be that Mr. Zhang brought some bad news to my father? Could it be that matter..." Situ Yi kept guessing in his heart.
At this time point in his previous life, he was still a very immature young man, when he was feeling strange to the newly married princess Hu Miaoxue, he fell headlong into the gentle village, and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court.
So now that he was reborn, he is not very clear about what happened in the court at this time.
But there was a major event in the previous life that had such a serious impact that even after a few years, people still dare not mention it. No matter how much Situ Yi in the previous life didn't care about the affairs of the court, he had heard of this major event.
This big event was the one that caused a sensation in the entire court, and even triggered countless student riots - the southern imperial examination cheating case!
He remembered that it seemed to be these few days, and the results of the Beijing Examination held a few days ago were about to be announced...
In the previous life, it was also this session of the exam. After the rankings were released, the northern candidates found that all the candidates on the gold list were from the south, and there was not a single northern candidate on the list.In addition, the chief examiner is a southerner, so countless northern students think that the chief examiner deliberately favors southern candidates, so there is not a single northern candidate on the gold list.
This kind of resentment caused a great sensation in the north, and countless scholars rioted, which had a great influence.In the end, the Holy One had no choice but to send the chief examiner and several assistant examiners to prison in order to appease the anger of the northern students.
In fact, this session of the exam was not at all a combination of southern candidates and the chief examiner cheating. It was because the level of the northern candidates was really inferior to the southern candidates, so no one was on the list.
However, the northern candidates who failed to get on the list didn't care so much. They only saw that no one on the gold list was a northern student, so they vented their anger at not being able to get on the gold list on the southern students and the chief examiner.
In the end, with public opinion, the Holy One had to choose to let several chief examiners and deputy examiners take the blame to quell public anger, and then divided the imperial examination gold list into north and south lists, each with half of the places, so as to protect the interests of northern students.

In fact, this dynasty was not established for a long time. The founder of the country was Situ Yi's grandfather.
The previous dynasty was destroyed by aliens. Taizu led the army to drive the aliens out of the Central Plains, and immediately conquered the world. After fighting for many years, the world was stabilized for more than ten years, and Taizu died due to the recurrence of old injuries.
Today, the Holy Majesty has successfully succeeded to the throne, and he has been sitting on the throne for more than ten years now, and it has only been about 30 years since the founding of this dynasty.
When foreign races invaded the Central Plains, the north was the most ravaged by foreign races, and the south suffered much less.
Fortunately, there was a general in the previous dynasty who had been working hard to lead the army to fight against the alien race. Before the alien race entered the Northland, the general led the remnants of the army to hold them back for a period of time. Many northerners took advantage of this time to escape to the south in time.
However, even so, the vitality of the Northland was severely damaged. Many buildings were robbed and burned by foreigners. Most of the bulky and difficult things like books were burned.
Even after the world was pacified and many northerners who fled to the south returned to their hometowns and rebuilt their homes, the education level of the northerners was still far behind that of the southerners.
This dynasty re-opened the imperial examinations, and the disparity in educational level between the north and the south was not obvious in the first imperial examinations, because many northern students who took the imperial examinations were survivors of the war in the previous dynasty, and their knowledge was not inferior to southern students too much.
But now that decades have passed, the children of the northerners are far inferior to the southerners because the education level in the north is too far behind that in the south. Candidates all failed!
Situ Yi guessed that Zhang Ge's old visit to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty was to inform the Holy Majesty about the list of the gold list.
However, judging from the riots of the northern students in his previous life memory, the Holy Majesty probably did not modify the list, but let Zhang Ge's list of veterans be posted truthfully.
Situ Yi still had a good understanding of the Holy Majesty's character. He knew that his father paid more attention to practical work, and he thought that if he had the ability, he would be nominated on the gold list. If he failed to be nominated on the gold list, it must be because all the northern students did not have that ability!
However, the Holy Majesty did not expect that the students from the north would react so fiercely, which almost caused a rebellion in the north, and finally forced him to hold his nose and compromise, and made a north-south list so that the students in the north would not have to compete with the students in the south for the gold list.A few court officials were also brought in.
Situ Yi was thinking about the imperial examination fraud case in his previous life, which was not a fraud case, and he didn't show any strangeness on his face.
The Holy Majesty was not in the mood to say anything more to them, so he only gave a few words of reprimand, and then gave them a large reward and asked them to go to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya retired respectfully and left the Imperial Study Room.
Then the two went to Fengqi Palace, and the queen had been waiting for them to pay their respects early.
The queen looked at her new daughter-in-law with a smile on her face, her good mood was revealed from her eyebrows, and her attitude towards Hu Yueya was also very kind and gentle.
As a queen, although all the princes and princesses are her children in name, several princes including the prince will bring their new daughter-in-law to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects the next day after they get married, but her real biological only one is Situ Yi However, the daughter-in-law of her own son naturally has a different weight in her heart than other princes and concubines.
The queen's meeting gift for the new daughter-in-law is also very meaningful. She took off a jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand and put it in Hu Yueya's hand. My brother's grandmother handed down a pair to Ben Gong. When Jing Le got married, Ben Gong gave her one, and this one is for you."
Although the queen is the successor, she is not the concubine who was promoted to the successor, but the emperor died of illness shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, and remarried her as the new queen.Therefore, although the queen was not the original concubine Yuanhou, she also married into the palace with eight palanquins. The wedding when she married was more grand than the wedding when Yuanhou married the emperor who was only a prince.Therefore, as the official wife of the Ming media, the queen has always been too lazy to pay attention to the concubines who are concubines in her eyes.
Hu Yueya took the jade bracelet and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!"
It's just that after she said the word 'reward', she didn't notice that the smile on the Queen's face faded.
Hu Yueya put the jade bracelet on her hand, the crystal clear white jade bracelet on her slender wrist made her skin white as jade.
The queen gave her a flattering compliment: "It really suits you."
Situ Yi, who knew the queen's character well, didn't know that Hu Yueya was being too respectful and polite, which made the queen displeased.
When the queen gave Hu Yueya the jade bracelet before, she said so much to her, but in the end she only said that she had given the jade bracelet to her, and did not say that she would reward her.The queen's words really meant that she simply regarded Hu Yueya as her daughter-in-law.
However, Hu Yueya's sentence "Thank you for the reward from the queen mother" defined the queen's mother-in-law's meeting ceremony with her daughter-in-law as the queen's reward to the princess, which inevitably made the queen feel that her intimacy was in vain.
But Situ Yi also felt that Hu Yueya couldn't be blamed for this, after all, could the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the royal family be the same as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of ordinary people?
Moreover, Situ Yi has no love for Hu Yueya's wife, and only treats her as a subordinate. Naturally, he doesn't think it's a big deal that Hu Yueya usually pays too much attention to status and rules.
So Situ Yi just changed the topic and said: "Mother, when can I have breakfast? It's been a long time for my son to have breakfast here, so I'm waiting on an empty stomach early today!"
The Queen's attention was immediately diverted. After all, it is important for a daughter-in-law to have a son. She heard her son say that she hadn't had breakfast yet, so she quickly ordered the maid: "Hurry up and pass on the meal!"
While waiting for the meal to be passed on, the Queen looked at Situ Yi reproachfully: "You kid, you don't know how to feel sorry for your body. You know that you can't eat at the Queen Mother's earlier today, and you don't know how to eat something in advance in the mansion to make a cushion." " She said to Hu Yueya again, "Yueya, you have to keep an eye on him, pay more attention to his food and clothing, and don't let him let his own temper!"
This is to blame Hu Yueya, the princess, for not noticing her husband's body.
Although it was a bit of a fuss, Hu Yueya immediately stood up and pleaded guilty: "Yes, mother, it is all the daughter-in-law's fault, and the daughter-in-law must pay attention in the future!"
She was also embarrassed to say that the two had snacks on the carriage. After all, Situ Yi specially ordered this snack to be prepared for her stomach, but she didn't expect to prepare something at all.Situ Yi only ate two of the small box of snacks, and the rest basically went into her stomach.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When Situ Yi and Hu Yueya came out of Fengqi Palace after breakfast, when the cold wind blew, he could hear Hu Yueya's breath of relief.
Compared with being respectful and tense when paying respects to the Holy Majesty, it is more difficult to receive various instructions in front of the queen, and one must always be careful.However, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been like this, especially when the mother-in-law has a high status, the daughter-in-law has to be careful and serve her.
As a man caught between two women, Situ Yi pretended not to notice the edge hidden in the harmonious atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Anyway, the empress could only beat Hu Yueya verbally, it is impossible to do anything too much, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't live together, so they can only see each other at the time when they come to pay their respects every month.
Compared with the concubines of the second and third princes, Hu Yueya is already considered happy, because the concubines of these two princes not only have the empress as the mother-in-law on their heads, but also the mother-in-law of the two princes' biological mothers. They are not as reasonable as the queen.
But looking at Hu Yueyan's lips that had turned pale due to nervousness, Situ Yi still reminded her: "The empress likes to be close to her family, don't be so respectful and unfamiliar. In fact, the empress's attitude towards you was very kind at the beginning. Yes, it's just you..."
Hu Yueya recalled the whole process of asking for safety in Fengqi Palace this time, and also realized that her response was inappropriate, her face turned pale, and she said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord, for your reminder!"
Situ Yi shook his head slightly, it seems that Hu Yueya can't change it, but that's fine, it's impossible for the royal family to really want to be as close as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between the husband and wife of ordinary people, after all, even Even if he and the empress are biological mothers and sons, they have to salute and greet each other, and the relationship between mother and son has been separated for life.
He doesn't have high requirements for Hu Yueya, the princess, to be a qualified and competent princess, don't make trouble, guard the Jin Palace, and after he succeeds, she can just be a qualified and competent queen.
Back at Prince Jin's Mansion, Situ Yi changed into loose clothes, and lay on the couch drinking herbal tea.Please calm down for this trip, even though the weather is not hot, but after walking for a long time, and wearing three layers of thick clothes, he is still hot and sweating.
As a newlywed, he was given a three-day leave by the Holy Majesty, and he didn't have to go to court for these three days.
Situ Yi thought that in just these two days, he would try to release the rankings, and the big event of the student riot in the north that he remembered was about to happen. It was a good thing that his three-day marriage leave just avoided the worst of the situation.
When he was thinking about whether to use this matter to deliver a memorial to the Holy Majesty in three days' time, Hu Yueya walked over.
He looked up and found that Hu Yueya was still dressed in the same costume as before, and hadn't changed at all. When she was a little strange, Hu Yueya asked tentatively: "My lord, those two from Hongmeiyuan are coming to visit my concubine. Have you met them?"
Situ Yi was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that there were still two of his concubines living in Hongmei Garden!
These two concubines were court maids given to him by the empress to teach others. They could only be regarded as handsome with well-shaped features, not very beautiful beauties, because the empress was worried that he would become obsessed with women and ruin his health.
In his previous life, the concubine he married was Hu Miaoxue. He remembered that Hu Miaoxue dismissed these two concubines not long after she got married, and Hongmei Garden had no chance to welcome a new owner, so it remained vacant.
After he came back from rebirth, he didn't remember these two concubines, and forgot them in Hongmeiyuan.Now they probably took advantage of the fact that the concubine had just married and came here to show their presence.
Situ Yi remembered the origins of the two concubines in Hongmeiyuan, but couldn't remember their looks and names, so he said to Hu Yueya: "You can figure it out!"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Hu Yueya began to follow her mother to learn the housekeeping methods that a regular wife should learn and the methods to deal with restless concubines and concubines after she reached Jiji.
Because she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, unless her father is imprisoned by the sage and the whole family is ransacked, otherwise she will never marry someone as a concubine, even if she marries a prince, she will be the official wife and princess.
So Mrs. Hu taught her how to be a regular wife, including how to deal with her husband's maid.
Generally, the housemaids are given by the mother-in-law to the husband to teach personnel affairs. This kind of man's first woman always has a special place in a man's heart.
So Mrs. Hu taught her how to test the status of the maid in the husband's heart when she just married, and then choose whether to solve it quickly or take it slowly according to her husband's attitude towards them.
Now when Hu Yueya heard Situ Yi say that she could figure it out, she was a little dazed. After all, she had too little experience. What Mrs. Hu taught was only theory but no practice. She didn't understand that Situ Yi was real. Giving full power to her is still to see her performance.
Hu Yueya regained her composure and ordered the maid to let the two concubines from Hongmeiyuan come in.
She was sitting next to Situ Yi, and received the two concubines in front of him.
When the two concubines from Hongmei Garden came in, their eyes lit up as soon as they saw Situ Yi, and they looked at him softly, trying to show the demeanor they used to have when they got along with him in private, so as to awaken the lord's pity for them.
However, the reborn Situ Yi has already forgotten them for more than ten years, how can he remember how he got along with them? It was because they showed up today that he let him get to know them again, otherwise he would not know even if he met them in the palace. who are they.
The two concubines who can't remember are naturally not as important in Situ Yi's heart as the princess he married.So he drank the herbal tea calmly, as if he didn't see two more living people in the room.
Hu Yueya felt a little bit down, she hit them as the mistress according to the procedure, gave them another reward, and let them go back.
Mrs. Hu had taught her that if the housemaids had fallen out of favor with her husband, they would be allowed to occupy the position of concubines.Because the housemaids who teach personnel affairs are generally a few years older than the master, and their appearance is not very beautiful, and their youth will pass away quickly. It is better for them to occupy the position than the fresh and tender young girls who come in later.
So when Hu Yueya saw that the two concubines were only handsome in appearance and they were also in their twenties, and Situ Yi treated them with a normal attitude, she let go of all her thoughts on how to deal with the favored concubine.
Afterwards, Situ Yi's nanny handed over the account book and treasury keys to Hu Yueya, the mistress, and the process of the Jin Palace's stewards visiting the princess.
Situ Yi, the King of Jin, stood by to support the princess, making Hu Yueya's process of taking over the internal affairs of the Prince Jin's mansion much smoother.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
While Hu Yueya was busy taking over the internal affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, Situ Yi was free.
He just took advantage of knowing the news about the cheating case in the exam in advance, and took the opportunity to trick the sixth prince's future father-in-law into it.
The sixth prince's future father-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the most loyal supporter of the Sixth Prince. In the corruption case in his previous life, the amount of bribes the Minister of the Ministry of Officials received was so huge that even Situ Yi was shocked.Of course, this huge sum of money was used for the Sixth Prince to buy people's hearts. Later, Situ Yi found out, in order not to implicate the Sixth Prince, he committed suicide by swallowing the gold himself.
But the sixth prince was also very cold. After his father-in-law committed suicide, not long after his concubine died of grief, leaving only a young daughter behind.Soon he married a new princess with a powerful family.
Situ Yi found out that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who will be a corrupt official in the future, is not relentless in accepting bribes, so he simply tried to get him to accept bribes from an official involved in a fraud case, and drag him into this fraud case Li, thus affecting the sixth prince behind him.
Situ Yi had many opponents in the battle for the heir apparent, but the one who disgusted him the most was the sixth prince, so he could bully this sixth brother whenever he had the chance.
After the successful layout, Situ Yi came to the garden of King Jin Mansion to enjoy the flowers in a good mood. When he saw the koi swimming in the pond, his heart moved, and he told Li Youming who was following him: "Bring me a fishing rod. The king wants to fish for koi!"
Because it was in Prince Jin's mansion, Situ Yi didn't like to bring a large group of people when he was in a leisurely mood, so he only brought Li Youming with him.
Only Li Youming can handle the fishing rod.
Situ Yi didn't want to sit in the gazebo waiting for his fishing rod, so he got up to enjoy the flowers.
At the corner of a rockery, Situ Yi had just turned the corner when a hurried figure bumped into him.
Although he was caught off guard and bumped into him, he had a steady foot after practicing riding and shooting all the year round, so he was not knocked down, but the person who hit him fell to the ground and cried out in pain: "Oh!"
Situ Yi thought the voice was a little familiar, and looked at the person on the ground, but saw a familiar face: "Hu Miaoxue?"
Isn't this girl dressed in the clothes of a third-class maidservant the same Hu Miaoxue whom he went to meet before?
Hu Miaoxue looked up at him, and quickly bowed her head: "My lord! Greetings to my lord! This servant just offended my lord, please forgive me!"
Hu Miaoxue wanted to marry into the Prince Jin's mansion as a dowry maid, of course she could no longer be a civilian girl, and could only be a real maid who called herself a "servant".
But she endured the humiliation and signed the deed of selling herself as Hu Yueya's dowry maid and entered the Jin Palace. As a result, on the wedding night, Hu Yueya took advantage of Situ Yi's absence and sent her to do rough work among the third-class maids.
Hu Miaoxue, who had never suffered from such hardships, couldn't bear the heavy rough work, and she didn't want to be turned into an aunt by these rough jobs, so that she would have no chance to attack the male god.
So with the help of the system map, Hu Miaoxue located Situ Yi's location, and took a chance to come to the garden to have a chance encounter.
She thought that based on Situ Yi's initial affection for her, she would definitely care a little when she saw her wearing the coarse clothes of a third-class maid, right?This time is her chance to get out of the current situation.
In order to make the chance encounter created this time to achieve her own goals, Hu Miaoxue carefully discussed with the system the seven ABCDEFG strategy plans, which can completely deal with various emergencies.
But Situ Yi stared blankly at her face, then reached out and raised her chin to carefully look at her beautiful face that was not inferior to Hu Yueya's.
In his ears, the shy woman in front of him kept saying in his heart: [Success!It worked!He was successfully attracted by me, and then follow the plan A! 】
Situ Yi didn't understand what plan A she was talking about, but he thought that this woman was parasitized by ghosts or monsters, and she tried every means to get into his Prince Jin's mansion. This unstable factor could no longer be let go.
So he pretended to be interested in her, and smiled: "Your name is Hu Miaoxue, right?" He glanced at the clothes of the third-class maid on her body, "This king will take you here from the princess, you You don't have to be a maid anymore."
If it wasn't for Hu Miaoxue's father being a member of Hu Shangshu's clan, he could have made her disappear completely.
But considering the princess and the Hu family, Situ Yi thought about it and decided to say hello to Hu Yueya.
Hu Miaoxue didn't know what Situ Yi was thinking, of course she was happy, but she was also very strange: [Since he has feelings for me, why didn't his favorability increase at all?The system's favorability detection function must be broken! 】
The system said indifferently: [An ancient man wanted to play with the maid when he saw the color, do he still need to have a good impression? 】
Hu Miaoxue: […]
At this time, Situ Yi, who was very close to Hu Miaoxue, also heard her conversation with the system, and he was a little speechless after being identified by the system as 'seeing sex'.
However, the description of 'ancient man' made Situ Yi a little concerned. Isn't this 'system' from this era?It's from the future?
Situ Yi was startled by the guess in his heart and trembled a little. If this system, which is unknown whether it is a ghost or a monster, really comes from the future...
A whimsical idea came into his mind.
When Situ Yi looked at Hu Miaoxue again, his eyes changed to look at a rare treasure again, and his genuine love for the treasure was reflected in the system's constant reminder of the rising favorability.
When Li Youming brought the fishing rod, Situ Yi didn't even look at the koi he wanted to catch before and the fishing rod he had been waiting for for a long time, and directly led Hu Miaoxue to the main courtyard where Hu Yueya lived.
When Hu Yueya saw Situ Yi bringing Hu Miaoxue in a maid outfit, her heart skipped a beat, her intuition was not good.
But she didn't show any strangeness on her face, she went forward and said, "My lord!"
Situ Yi said straight to the point: "This maid of the concubine's, the king wants it."
Hu Yueya clenched her hands tightly into fists in her wide sleeves, her well-manicured nails dug into the flesh of her palms, and the pain awakened her reason.She maintained her posture as a virtuous princess, and asked with a smile: "Then what identity does the prince plan to give Miao Xue?"
Situ Yi said indifferently: "You don't need your identity." He just wanted to control Hu Miaoxue in his own hands, he didn't intend to accept her, and he didn't want to accept the princess's dowry maid to hit the princess in the face when he was just married. "Just transfer her to be an errand in the king's yard, and there is no need to do other unnecessary things."
When Hu Yueya heard the words, she was relieved and at the same time secretly hated.
She was relieved because the lord did not give Hu Miaoxue an identity. If it was reported that the lord had accepted her dowry maid within three days of the wedding, wouldn't she be ashamed?Fortunately, the prince still took care of her face.
But she secretly hated Hu Miaoxue for being able to work as an errand in the prince's courtyard in the front yard. Wouldn't that mean that the two of them get along together every day?She would rather give Hu Miaoxue a courtyard to live in alone than let Hu Miaoxue be a maid in the capacity of the prince. Who knows if this will lead to a concubine's eldest son.
However, Hu Yueya couldn't raise any objections, and she couldn't change what Situ Yi had decided.The only thing she could do was arrange it, and try to transfer Hu Miaoxue to Situ Yi's side in the front yard as unobtrusively and unobtrusively as possible.
Hu Yueya concentrated all her hatred on Hu Miaoxue, and Hu Miaoxue was delighted that she could often see the male god who was the target of the attack, but Situ Yi had already secretly ordered someone to clean up a small courtyard in his front yard specially used to imprison Hu Miaoxue.
After Hu Miaoxue happily moved in, Situ Yi secretly sent people to strictly guard this small courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Among the maids serving Situ Yi, there suddenly appeared a maid who looked very similar to Hu Miaoxue and had the exact same name.It's just that this maid was arranged by Situ Yi to take care of the collection of books in Prince Jin's Mansion, and she usually lives in seclusion, so few people could see her.
Hu Yueya, who had always been vigilant about Hu Miaoxue's favor, didn't know about it for the time being, and then it was time for Sanchao to return home.
This day was already the last day of Situ Yi's wedding leave, and he accompanied Hu Yueya back to Hu's residence.
Situ Yi was sitting in the carriage on the way to Hu's Mansion, and he heard the sound of countless scholars uniting to make trouble.Although it was two streets away, he could still hear a little sound.
Thinking of how big this matter is now, even Situ Yi, who was immersed in the gentle village in his previous life and didn't pay much attention to it, couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Father should have dealt with it in advance when he learned about the results of the examination from Mr. Zhang Ge. OK……"
Don't say that it's unfair to wipe out those southern students who have better grades than northern students. In Situ Yi's view, there are few things that are fair and just in this world, and even the imperial examination is not fair.
The most important thing is balance.
In recent years, the number of southern students who have passed the Jinshi examination far exceeds that of northern students, and now officials from the south account for more than half of the imperial court.Originally, officials liked to form cliques with their fellow countrymen. If things went on like this, the entire court was filled with officials from the south. If they united, even the emperor would be able to make them empty.
Therefore, Situ Yi felt that the number of candidates from the north and the south should be balanced when admitting candidates.
But now that there is such a big commotion, the sage probably has recollected it, and the north-south list is the remedial measure.
Anyway, the result of this imperial examination fraud case is good in Situ Yi's opinion, so he will not intervene without authorization.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Hu Mansion, and Hu Shangshu and his family were already waiting in front of the gate.
Situ Yi took Hu Yueya out of the carriage and entered the Hu Mansion. Hu Yueya followed Mrs. Hu to the backyard.He and Hu Shangshu, Weng and his son-in-law were chatting about what happened in the court hall in the front yard, but they both talked about insignificant things in a tacit understanding, and didn't mention a word about the sudden imperial examination fraud case.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In the backyard, Mrs. Hu sent her daughter-in-law away, and when talking privately with her daughter, she asked, "Ya'er, how are you doing in Prince Jin's mansion? How does Prince Jin treat you?"
Hu Yueya said: "My lord is good to me. I have taken care of the internal affairs of the palace, and even gave me the keys to the treasury. The two concubines who served the lord before I entered the door have long since fallen out of favor. There is nothing to worry about, just... ..." Tears welled up in her eyes.
Madam Hu was quite at ease when she heard it, but when she saw her daughter crying while talking, she hurriedly asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Ya'er, have you been wronged in some way?"
Hu Yueya wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said bitterly: "It's not that bitch Hu Miaoxue! I sent her to be a third-class maid, but she can still meet the prince and show her face in front of the prince, I don't know Why is it that the prince is so obsessed that we are just newly married, and personally brought that bitch to me to ask her to go away!"
Mrs. Hu was shocked and said: "What? King Jin actually accepted Hu Miaoxue when you were newly married?"
Hu Yueya explained: "The lord didn't give her an identity, he just transferred her to work by his side. I just thought that she would often see the lord, I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted her daughter: "It's good if you don't give her an identity. She is just a maid, and her life and death are in control. You can find a way to make her fall out of favor, and then let you decide. If she has the status of a concubine, you On the contrary, it is difficult to deal with her."
After finishing speaking, she asked her daughter to listen to her again, and whispered something in Hu Yueya's ear.
Hu Yueya nodded again and again, "Mother, is this really possible?"
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Do as mother said, and I guarantee you will be favored by King Jin!"
At noon, Situ Yi stayed at the Hu Mansion for lunch. It was not the first time he had dealt with Hu Shangshu, an old fox. This time, Hu Shangshu saw his ability in politics and supported him a bit confidence.The relationship between Weng and son-in-law is also much closer.
When Hu Yueya came out from the backyard when the time for returning to the door was over, Situ Yi found that her spirit was different from when she first came here, as if she was a little more confident.
This made him a little curious about what Madam Hu had said to Hu Yueya to make her change so much.
Situ Yi and Hu Yueya got into the carriage and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Originally, it was getting late when we left Hu's mansion, so after returning to Jinwang's mansion, the two of them had dinner, and the sky turned dark.
There are no entertainment activities after dark, everyone goes to bed early, and the couple will naturally go to bed early
