Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[one two six]

After a night, the early morning bird stood on the branch and called a few times, flapping its wings and flying away.

Zhou Jinyu went to the Ministry of Officials after breakfast. Yesterday, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asked for leave, and left in a hurry after the morning court. Unexpectedly, she only found out after she arrived at the Ministry of Officials today that the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials also asked for leave.

When it was almost dusk, Liu Gudao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, arrived again. He didn't know what happened to him, and there was a hint of anger on his whole face.

Seeing Zhou Jinyu who was about to leave, Liu Gudao stopped her and said, "Master Zhou, wait."

Zhou Jinyu turned around and saluted him with a smile: "Master Shangshu, are you calling me?"

Liu Gudao nodded: "You come with me."

Zhou Jinyu immediately followed him into the room. Liu Gudao sat down on the main seat first, then picked up the teacup on the table, blew the foam floating on the water, and put the teacup back on the table.

Zhou Jinyu stood below, waiting quietly, and did not take the initiative to speak.

After waiting for a while, Liu Gudao sighed deeply, and then said: "Zhou Jinyu, I won't hide it from you. Before you came here, General Han told me to let me take care of your mistakes. Drive you out of the bureaucracy."

Zhou Jinyu had already expected this, but she still made a surprised and puzzled expression and said: "My lord, I don't know what I did wrong? General Han wants to make it difficult for me."

Liu Gudao shook his head, and said: "You have done nothing wrong, but you are a rookie in the imperial court, married the current princess, and won the number one scholar. General Han is not the only one who doesn't like you."

Zhou Jinyu bowed his head in silence, then raised his head aggrieved and said, "Then why did your lord tell me this?"

Liu Gudao looked at her for a long while, and felt that the young man in front of him had delicate features and was very pleasing. How could he not know how Han Xu made things difficult for her in Zuo Langzhong? Still laissez-faire, in the final analysis he is also responsible for what the young man has encountered in the official department.

Thinking of this, Liu Gudao sighed deeply again, and said: "The reason why I told you this is because I know that I will die soon, and I want to do something before I die. Black Sheep."

Zhou Jinyu didn't pay attention to the second part of his sentence, but said with concern: "My lord, are you feeling unwell? Why do you say that suddenly?"

Liu Gudao sighed and said: "The old man is getting old. I went to Qianlong Temple yesterday, and met an expert on the way. The expert said something to me, and suddenly I felt that I have been an official for many years. The Ministry only knows how to guard the city, but promises, but in the end, it has no achievements, so it can't die and become a mediocre official."

Zhou Jinyu was surprised, master?

who can that be?

What does this have to do with Liu Gudao suddenly calling him here?

Liu Gudao said with a smile: "You don't need to be alarmed. I am looking for you because you don't belong to any faction of the Ministry of Officials, and you are the son-in-law of the eldest princess. Naturally, you are available."

Zhou Jinyu looked at the person sitting on the main seat, and asked, "If you dare to ask your lord what you want to tell me, I will do my best."

Liu Gudao waved and said, "Come here, I have something to say to you."

Zhou Jinyu walked over, Liu Gudao whispered to her in a very low voice.

The more Zhou Jinyu heard it, the more frightened she became. Most of what Liu Gudao said to her was about the actions of Zuo Lang Zhong Han Xu and the servant of the Ministry of Officials, that is, Xiaoguo's uncle Su Qian.

Su Qian and Han Xu each relied on their current official positions in the Ministry of Officials, bought and sold official positions secretly, and fought with each other. How could he, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, not know this?

It's just that for many years, he was afraid of the forces behind these two people, turned a blind eye, and pretended not to know.

After hearing Zhou Jinyu's words, he understood everything thoroughly, and felt more and more that the official position in the Ministry of Officials was really a lucrative post. These two were actually in a small Ministry of Officials, and they controlled most of the transfer of official positions in various counties and counties.

Zhou Jinyu asked Liu Gudao: "What does your lord want the next official to do?"

Liu Gudao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to recommend you to investigate the flood in Yong'an County, what do you think?"

"I'm going to investigate?" Zhou Jinyu pretended not to understand, and asked, "I'm a lowly official, so it's probably inappropriate to investigate the flood. Besides, what does the flood in Yong'an County have to do with our officials?"

Liu Gudao waved his hand: "It has a lot to do with it, please listen to me and tell you slowly."

Zhou Jinyu pretended to be listening.

"The strange thing about this flood is that there was a flood in Jinjiang five years ago, and Yong'an County was the affected county. The dam was just repaired a few years ago, and it was washed away by the water. There must be tricks in it. With some money, the dam was naturally built solidly, so why is it broken again now?"

Zhou Jinyu asked: "Your Excellency suspects that the money has been corrupted?"

Liu Gudao nodded: "It's not doubt, it's certain, it must be so."

Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "But the imperial court will send someone to go to this corruption matter, why do you recommend me?"

Liu Gudao looked cold: "Because the county magistrate of Yong'an was recommended by Zuo Langzhong and Han Xu."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, fully understanding.

This time, Liu Gudao wanted to move Han Xu through this matter.

Liu Gudao continued: "The imperial court has sent someone there. Whether it can be found out will be another matter. However, if someone else finds out and implicates Han Xu, His Majesty will definitely blame me. It's because of my lax supervision , let Han Xu take advantage of the loopholes. But if you go to investigate, you are a member of the official department, and if you find out this matter, then we will find out by ourselves. Do you understand?"

Zhou Jinyu bowed and said, "I understand."

Liu Gudao waved his hand and said: "I told you in advance to let you know what to do. After you return home, make preparations in advance and go on a long trip."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Yes."

Just as Zhou Jinyu was about to go out, Liu Gudao suddenly said, "Zhou Jinyu."

Zhou Jinyu turned his head and saluted: "Yes, the officer is here, sir, please give me your orders."

Liu Gudao said with a smile: "Can I trust you?"

Zhou Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, and said, "This official also wants to seek justice for the victims."

Liu Gudao was taken aback, and waved his hand: "Go."

Zhou Jinyu saluted again and withdrew.

Consort House.

When Zhou Jinyu returned to the mansion, the carriage was already ready to go into the palace tonight.

When I entered the palace this time, it was because of Princess Amin who came from Turkic. Rumor has it that Princess Amin is beautiful and has the title of the most beautiful woman in Turkic.

Naturally, she was not allowed to wear ordinary clothes when she entered the palace this time, so she changed into a new official robe, and when she came out, she heard Wan Qiu laugh and say, "My lord, it is rumored that Princess Amin is the first Turkic man." One's beauty, you will be able to see her when you enter the palace with the princess this time, are you happy?"

Just as Zhou Jinyu was about to speak, seeing Wei Huanian approaching behind her, he immediately said, "What's the first and second, even if she is a beauty, can she still be more beautiful than our princess?" She said, and immediately went to help her flatteringly Wei Huanian smiled shyly, "Princess, do you think so?"

Wei Huanian glanced at her: "Smart words."

Zhou Jinyu smirked, and helped Wei Huanian into the carriage.

The carriage went all the way to the gate of the palace. Zhou Jinyu and Wei Huanian got out of the carriage and walked along the long corridor to the palace.

Because of the honorable status of the Turkic princess, and to choose a county horse for her, this time the palace banquet was held in the Nanhua Hall.

At this time, some people were already sitting in the Nanhua Hall, most of them were princes and nobles with their unmarried sons of the right age. Zhou Jinyu tilted his head and saw Feng Weizhi was there. He was following his father Feng Weizhi. Bo Young sat in the third position from the main figure.

As the eldest princess, Wei Huanian naturally had a higher position. In the second place, after Zhou Jinyu sat down with her, he faced Feng Weizhi from afar.

Feng Weizhi looked displeased when she saw her, but Zhou Jinyu didn't care about it, because her attention was all on the jug of wine on the table.

The exquisite white porcelain flagon contained high-quality wine. She smelled the aroma of the wine, and immediately wanted to drink a glass directly.

But Emperor Tianshun hasn't arrived yet, so the feast cannot be held.

I heard someone talking about the Turkic princess, how beautiful she was, and how many Turkic children flocked to her.

Zhou Jinyu just smiled when he heard this, thinking, how good-looking could it be?

Anyway, she is not as good-looking as her princess.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Wei Huanian again with a smile. The girl was wearing red today, and the phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and neckline was lifelike. Her makeup today was not as simple and elegant as usual. Coquettish, on the contrary, she is even more majestic because of her calm and majestic expression.

Zhou Jinyu was satisfied with what he saw.

After a while, everyone arrived, the seats were all full of people, they were chatting in twos and threes, it was very lively.

But there was no one in the first place on her left, Zhou Jinyu thought, this must be reserved for Princess Amin.

After Emperor Tianshun arrived, everyone fell silent instantly, and all the courtiers knelt down to salute. After Emperor Tianshun sat down, he smiled and shouted: "Pingshen."

Emperor Tianshun is obviously in a good mood today. If Princess Amin chooses the county horse, then it will be a marriage between the Turks and the Jin Dynasty. In this way, Emperor Tianshun no longer has to worry about the Turks joining forces with the Khitan and the Jin Dynasty. warring thing.

At this time, a small eunuch came into the hall, knelt down to salute, and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Amin asks to see you."

Emperor Tianshun waved his hand: "Xuan."

The little eunuch saluted, and quickly retreated out.

Suddenly someone shouted outside: "Princess Amin is here."

When everyone heard the words, they all raised their heads and looked towards the gate of the palace, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beauty of the first Turkic beauty immediately.

Zhou Jinyu turned his head slightly, and he really saw a girl in red, walking lightly into the hall. Unlike the ladies of the Jin Dynasty, she was not shy at all in the eyes of everyone. , but strutting forward, curiously looking at the person who looked at her.

When she walked in, Zhou Jinyu looked at her face and was suddenly startled.

If this wasn't the day she got married, who was the girl who came to make trouble in front of the mansion?

Princess Amin walked up to Emperor Tianshun and bowed slowly: "Amin greets His Majesty the Emperor of Jin."

Emperor Tianshun laughed loudly: "I used to hear that Princess Amin is beautiful, but seeing her now, she is really beautiful, please take a seat."

Princess Amin looked directly at Emperor Tianshun and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, Zhou Jinyu saw the girl turn her head, looked at her with a slight smile, and then walked to the seat beside her and sat down.

Zhou Jinyu immediately stopped looking at her.

She tilted her head to look at Wei Huanian, but saw that Wei Huanian was staring at her with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

Wei Huanian raised his eyebrows to look at her, and asked in a low voice, "My son-in-law, do you know Princess Amin?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head quickly, and immediately said, "No, I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

Wei Huanian: "..."

At this time, Emperor Tianshun ordered the banquet to be held, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall sounded as the cups were mixed. Before the little maid reached out, Zhou Jinyu had already picked up the wine glass, poured himself a glass, and poured another glass for Wei Huanian.

After drinking a glass of wine, the aroma of the wine was intoxicating. Zhou Jinyu squinted his eyes, obviously immersed in the strong aroma of the wine.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Princess Amin had already come in front of her. She held a wine glass in her hand and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Mu, let's have a drink."

Zhou Jinyu's movements froze for an instant, and he immediately went to look at Wei Huanian, but Wei Huanian's expression remained the same, he just drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Zhou Jinyu coughed lightly, and said, "I told you last time, you misidentified me, I'm not the brother Mu you mentioned."

The girl was very stubborn, she pouted and said, "You are my brother Mu."

Zhou Jinyu was about to cry, and the calmer Wei Huanian was, the angrier he would be.

But she obviously has nothing to do with this Princess Amin, so why do people always misidentify relatives these days?

Zhou Jinyu picked up the wine glass, stood up, clinked glasses with Princess Amin, and said: "Princess, if you want to find someone, I suggest you go to the government, I am not the person you are looking for."

After she finished speaking, she drank the wine in the glass, and before the aggrieved Princess Amin could reply, she sat back again, lowered her head and took a bite of the crispy meat with chopsticks, completely ignoring her.

Princess Amin stood for a while, then returned to her seat.

After she sat down, Emperor Tianshun asked her with a smile: "Is the princess interested in this talented man?"

Amin stood up and saluted, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, no matter who Amin chooses, will Your Majesty be willing to let him be Amin's county horse?"

Emperor Tianshun laughed loudly when he heard the words: "You are not joking, just choose."

A Min thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out a finger, pointed at Zhou Jinyu and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, should I choose him?"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, only to feel that the whole hall fell silent as soon as Amin's words came out, and Emperor Tianshun looked over with a trace of inquiry.

The smile on Emperor Tianshun's face had dissipated, and he asked in a deep voice: "Princess Amin, do you really have a crush on him?"

Princess Amin smiled and said, "Why, Your Majesty, can't this person do it?"

Emperor Tianshun paused slightly, and said with a smile: "This person is already the son-in-law of Princess Yuanzhao of the Great Jin Dynasty, the princess should change to someone else."

Amin said: "Then Amin is willing to be his concubine."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

This girl is trying to push herself to a dead end!

She immediately went to see Wei Huanian, smiled wryly at the girl, and said in a low voice, "Princess, believe me, I really don't know her, she is crazy and talking nonsense."

Wei Huanian ignored her, but stood up, looked at Princess Amin with a smile and said, "The princess is joking, my son-in-law does not take concubines."

Although she was smiling, the coldness in her eyes could kill everyone.

Zhou Jinyu swallowed, and instinctively sent the wine in the glass to his stomach.

She felt as though she were a little thirsty.

Princess Amin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are not him, how do you know that he does not take concubines."

Wei Huanian said: "This Palace says she won't take concubines, so she won't take concubines."

Zhou Jinyu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up immediately, bowed his hands to Emperor Tianshun, and then smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I only have the princess in my heart, and I will never take concubines."

Princess Amin felt aggrieved when she heard what she said. The corners of Wei Huanian's mouth loosened, and a smile overflowed.

Emperor Tianshun smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Princess, I have many good men in the Great Jin Dynasty, you can choose another one."

Princess Amin said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, Amin doesn't want to marry yet, thank you for your kindness."

Emperor Tianshun was startled, his eyes were already displeased, he tilted his head to look at Jiang Youde, Jiang Youde understood immediately, and shouted: "The dance and music continue."

Wei Huanian sat back again, Zhou Jinyu was worried and didn't know what to say to her, and Wei Huanian obviously didn't want to talk to her, Zhou Jinyu was upset, and just poured a cup into his stomach liquor.

By the time the palace banquet was over, her feet were already weak and she couldn't even walk steadily.

After leaving the Nanhua Hall, Zhou Jinyu pretended to be wronged and said, "Princess, I can't walk anymore."

Wei Huanian looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Oh?"

Zhou Jinyu walked up to her and grabbed her cuff: "Princess, help me."

Wei Huanian had no choice but to extend a hand to her, and Zhou Jinyu immediately took it.

When we arrived at the palace gate, we got into the carriage.

Relying on the strength of his wine, Zhou Jinyu insisted on sitting with Wei Huanian, but Wei Huanian had no choice but to agree.

Zhou Jinyu leaned against her, dazed, and naturally put his head on her shoulder, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

She muttered: "Princess, I really have nothing to do with that Princess Amin, trust me."

Seeing that she was so drunk that she couldn't open her eyes, Wei Huanian said, "Okay, okay, trust you, go to sleep for a while, and call you when I get to Fuben Palace."

Zhou Jinyu still muttered: "Trust me...Princess...you have to believe me, I only have you in my heart, only...you."

Wei Huanian could only coax her. After a while, when she fell asleep without speaking, Wei Huanian reached out and stroked her cheek.

Zhou Jinyu has a good appearance, a face with clear eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips, especially when he smiles with his eyebrows curved, his eyes are like peach blossoms.

Wei Hua sighed young, and said in a low voice, "What should I do with you?"

But Zhou Jinyu couldn't hear anything, he slammed his mouth and slept soundly.

She slept all the way, and was half sober when she arrived in front of the consort's mansion. She got out of the carriage, and before entering, she looked at Wei Huanian with lingering fear, and repeated: "Princess, I really have nothing to do with that princess, you Believe me, besides you, there is no other woman beside me."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a woman's soft voice: "Shiro, you are back."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

She turned her head to look at the woman in the dark, only to see that it was Princess Mu of the prince's family in Yunnan.

As soon as she tilted her head, she saw Wei Huanian looking at her expressionlessly.

Just as Zhou Jinyu was about to explain, Princess Mu had already stepped forward and whispered to her: "People in the house said that you went to the palace for a banquet."

Zhou Jinyu hummed: "So you've been waiting here? Do you need to see me?"

Princess Mu shook her head, and said sincerely: "No, I want to see you."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."
