Chapter Ten: Exploration
Chapter 10: Zi Jin took over this topic and looked at Luo Jue and said, "Have you ever thought about finding a companion in the future? Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life without children?"
Luo Jue smiled bitterly, playing with the teacup in his hand, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years. I'm afraid of the rope. I'm living a good life now. I don't think about these for the time being. Not everyone has the blessing of you."
"My blessing? You may not necessarily want my blessing." Zi Jin sighed lightly, looking at Luo Jue's puzzled gaze, Zi Jin did not explain too much. After all, her experience with Ye Mingxuan cannot tell outsiders. "You only see my happiness, but not the hardships that Mingxuan and I have gone through. Luo Jue, not every relationship is gained for nothing. If you want to get it, you have to pay first. And you have to see if that person is worth your efforts. The between Mingxuan and I is not as smooth as you think. I say this, I hope you don't stick to your companionship. There are thousands of scenery in the world and the eldest princess can recruit son-in-law. Why can't you open your heart? Life is too long, and you always need a companion to accompany you to grow old slowly."
Luo Jue lowered his eyes, and his beautiful face was filled with bitterness. Zi Jin's words were not wrong, but... it was not easy to take a step. How do you know if that person is worth your efforts?
"You don't have to worry about me anymore. I know it in my heart. If I really feel lonely, I will think about it. I don't have that idea yet." Luo Jue smiled slightly. A woman still hopes that her life will be happy, but it has collapsed once, and it is not easy to rebuild it.
Zi Jin nodded, and it was not difficult for Luo Jue. After all, he was giving him a life to his own life. Can he still help him live? "It's better if you have a success in your heart. If you see someone around you, you should keep a careful eye and observe for a while. If it's really possible, it's not impossible to consider it."
Knowing that Zi Jin was concerned about her, Luo Jue was not disgusted. Looking at Zi Jin, after experiencing so many things, she still looked very beautiful. And when she dressed up in the mirror, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were already shallow. It was not that time was unforgivable, but that her heart was old.
The two sat for a while before they went back to their respective houses.
Cheng Qing fell asleep on the carriage when he went back. Zi Jin slapped him, but recalled Luo Jue. A feeling that was indescribable flashed in his heart. She and Luo Jue were unstoppable in the last life, but they didn't expect that they would become friends in this life. Life was impermanent. As expected, many things needed to be hard work on themselves to change the final result. In this life, he and Ye Mingxuan won, right?
When he returned to the palace, Ye Mingxuan was not there, but went to the princess's house. He left a message before leaving and came back for dinner in the evening. Zi Jin ordered the kitchen to prepare meals and handed his son to the wet nurse to take him to bed. He sorted out the information given by Luo Jue, thinking that he had to first figure out the situation of his opponent, and then have a banquet, and reveal the matter slightly. Anyway, the palace of Jin is a female mosquito that cannot be stopped, let alone a woman with ulterior mosquito.
There is no need tolerate a female fox on her bed!
Zi Jin called the butler Fu Jian in, handed him a list, and said slowly: "Investigate the situation of these people clearly and submit it to me as soon as possible."
Fu Jian nodded, looked down at the list, and felt a little uncomfortable in an instant, but he still responded. After leaving the room, he felt a cold sweat. It seemed that their princess was about to take action. He had heard that the princess had the title of Living Hell in Kyoto, so he didn't know if he would restrain himself after entering Jinguan City.
When Ye Mingxuan came back in the evening, Zi Jin said Luo Jue's words during the day, and looked at Ye Mingxuan and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to become a hot item."
Ye Mingxuan picked up a chopstick dish for his son, and then picked up the bamboo shoots she liked for Zijin. Then he said, "I am a hot item, can I depreciate it even if I get here?"
"Smelling and beautiful." Zi Jin snorted, her eyes fell on her son who was already very good at picking up food with chopsticks. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and subconsciously touched her belly. Yue Xin was more than ten days late. I don't know if there was good news. That's why she hoped to have a daughter. Her daughter is her mother's caring little cotton jacket, so comfortable.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Mingxuan was confused, and looked at Zi Jin's mao and said in advance: "Whatever you want to do is as you wish. Anyway, Jinguan City is our fiefdom. As long as you don't rebel, no one will care about you. However, I have no bad idea. You are not allowed to take me out of anger. I am loyal to you, so I will not take a look at other mosquitoes and flies."
Zi Jin chuckled, "Don't worry, naturally I won't vent my anger for you." He laughed, but he didn't expect Ye Mingxuan to be even more nervous than her. Regarding the belly problem, Zi Jin felt that after twenty or thirty days, he would tell Ye Mingxuan before he was confirmed, so that would be boring.
Chengqing didn't say a word from beginning to end, and ate obediently. His father was curious and asked, but who knew his son was stern and preached, "Uncle said, "If you don't eat or sleep or sleep, your son will not talk about his parents' faults, I have to try to set an example."
Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan were choking in their mouths, unable to get up or down. Are there any parents like their depressed?
Before going to bed at night, Zi Jin remembered that he was only concerned about complaining about the Shi family girl to Ye Mingxuan, and forgot to mention Bo Shuliang. So he pushed Ye Mingxuan and told him about Bo Shuliang, "I didn't come forward to this matter. First, it was about what Chengqing said, and secondly, there was a concern. After all, he was a person who had a relationship with his mother. Who knows what will happen in the future? It's better to keep a distance from this matter. What's more, I always think Bo Shuliang is not very suitable for his mother. Have you received a letter from your elder brother? Did he say that his father would come?"
"Brother didn't send a letter, let alone what did you ask him to write in the letter? It's just a little embarrassment. It's better not to send a letter." Ye Mingxuan sighed lightly. After all, Ye Jin and him are not the same mother, so there are some things that should not be too embarrassing.
Zi Jin just asked casually and did not think deeply. When Ye Mingxuan said this, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "Let it go."
Ye Mingxuan nodded, "I heard what you said, this Bo Shuliang is quite interesting. Let's take a look, not to mention that my mother only meets him, so she can really get together."
"This is also the matter of a thousand miles of marriage that may not really happen all the time." Zi Jin fell asleep on Ye Mingxuan's shoulder.
Since he came to Jinguan City, he has become a person at the top of the pyramid. Zi Jin doesn't pay tribute to the eldest princess every day. Ye Mingxuan doesn't have to get up early to court in the morning. The couple's life is really moist.
After sleeping until the sun was over three o'clock, Zi Jin woke up and looked at Ye Mingxuan leaning against the head of the bed. He seemed to be interesting and raised his mouth. Zi Jin reached out and hid, leaning against his chest and looked up. It turned out that it was the women she asked Fu Jian to investigate.
Zi Jin looked at it and asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Although Ye Mingxuan was not very concerned about the struggle in the backyard, he didn't know anything. When he heard Zi Jin's question, he said, "These families have really put a lot of effort into it. The candidates selected were indeed very powerful. Hou Jie's wife only gave birth to two legitimate sons and did not have a daughter. Now the so-called legitimate daughter was the mother who asked for an order to use Jinguan City as a fief, and her wife was recorded in her name from the daughters born by her concubine."
Zi Jin blinked his eyes, and the Hou family was really struggling. It seemed that they had been planning for a long time. And they knew very well about their situation, otherwise they would not have chosen a concubine daughter to be recorded in the name of their mother at that time. Hou Jie was a fourth-rank city gate leader and had real power in his hand. It was not impossible to plan for a concubine. This scheming was the most worrying. With such a subordinate, Ye Mingxuan really wanted to cheer up.
Let’s talk about Hou Binglan, it’s not a simple one. Hou Jie can really give birth, with more than a dozen concubines, but she can be remembered by her mother and stand out from the dozen sisters. I’m afraid it’s not easy to meet. It’s really interesting. Moreover, Fu Jian also noted later that Hou Binglan’s national beauty is beautiful, which shows that she is extremely beautiful. She is beautiful and intelligent. Such a person is really messy when he enters his backyard.
Seeing this, when you look at the situation of the Cai Chang family in Dusi, it is simpler than that of the Hou Jie family, but it is just simpler. In terms of official positions, among these families, Cai Chang has the highest official positions, the fourth-rank Dusi, and then the city gate leader Hou Jie and the same fourth-rank prefect, Wuzhou, the salt transportation envoy, and Zhou Baihe. The lowest-ranking position here is Xu Huaian, the sixth-ranking general. Although his status is the lowest, his daughter is a famous beauty, and it is not without the ability to compete.
Cai Chang and Wuzhou's daughter are the pure legitimate daughter. Zhou Baihe's daughter is a illegitimate daughter. She is not a illegitimate daughter, but she is already married. But she can't stand the rich, how about the illegitimate daughter? As long as the dowry is rich, who can't look up to you? Can anyone with salt still lack money?
Zi Jin sneered frequently and said to Ye Mingxuan: "They are willing to marry their daughters, just to seek longer-term benefits. But if these women enter our backyard, you don't have to live a quiet life. Each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp, either the family has money or the family has power. I am not a fool, who dares to recruit these people into their own homes."
"Just do what you want to do, I'll give you some money." Ye Mingxuan comforted his beloved wife. It doesn't matter if he turned the world upside down. As long as his Buddha's family doesn't make a fuss, nothing will make him mess up.
"Of course, I won't feel wronged." Zi Jin sat up, put the detailed list up, then pushed Ye Mingxuan, "I'm starving to death, get up?"
Ye Mingxuan glanced at his wife and said calmly: "Cheng Qing has already taken the bus to his uncle's house, and I have already used breakfast."
Zi Jin raised the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help but caress her forehead, stretched out her hand and twisted Ye Mingxuan. Who told him to get up in the middle of the night and tossed her for a long time? It's embarrassing her.
Ye Mingxuan patted Zijin without any regrets and said, "This is our own family. You can sleep at any time. Whoever dares to say anything else. Whoever dares to gossip, drive him out. My palace does not allow people who disrespect the mistress." Ye Mingxuan said, "In the past, it was very hard to settle the sanity every day in the morning and evening. Now that my mother does not live with us, you don't have to set rules. Naturally, you do whatever you want, without scruples about other people's ideas. I have everything."
Zi Jin chuckled, feeling a little like a wife who had been married for many years. After thinking about it, he said, "That's true. Jinguan City is all yours. I just slept until the end of the day. Who dares to say anything?"
"It's up to you." Ye Mingxuan sings to order someone to prepare food, and personally takes Yuchun Luxia's clothes and takes Zi Jin's clothes into the tent and put them on for Zi Jin. He doesn't think it's so shocking that a dignified prince is serving his wife to dress.
Yuchun and Luxia were shocked. They had known that the prince was spoiling the princess for a long time, but they didn't expect that they would dare to make any troubles in this way. They did have some thoughts at the beginning, but since the prince came back, the prince had never looked at them. Many girls in the yard felt very sad behind their backs.
Zi Jin didn't think there was anything. After all, the couple was used to it and didn't think there was anything. But when the two girls saw that their prince actually put on socks and shoes for the princess, they could no longer say a word.
Zi Jin tied up her clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror to dress up. In the past, Lu Xia combed Zi Jin's hair, but who knew that Zi Jin said today: "I'll let you be lazy all day, and I won't need you now." As he said that, he handed the comb to Ye Mingxuan. Lu Xia retreated uneasyly and saw that Ye Mingxuan really combed the princess' hair, and she was quite skillful... She seemed to be doing this for a long time.
Yuchun and Luxia were even more afraid to look up, and stood quietly aside, serving carefully.
"...I ordered some clothes at Jinyi Pavilion. You went back and sent someone to ask if they had been prepared. I would wear them in a few days. The jewelry from Cuiyulou should be made. Just ask someone to accept it and take it back. You should also pay attention to where the food in Jinguan City is delicious. When we go back and we would invite someone to come over to the banquet, and we would like to have a mess of things one by one. I don't want to go out these days, so you should be more careful."
Listening to Zi Jin's nagging, Ye Mingxuan knew that Zi Jin was saying these words on purpose. The girls around Zi Jin were all newly bought in the south, so naturally they had to try loyalty. She deliberately leaked the place where she customized clothes and jewelry were made, just to see if Yuchun and Luxia were reliable.
After all, everyone wants to know the new princess’ preferences now. As long as you express a few words, you will get a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingxuan responded: "According to me, what other guests do you want to have? Your body is important. You don't have to worry about these things, I will help you do it."
"What you said is a thick stack of posts, can I really ignore it? Besides, can you tell you if you talk about women's family?" Zi Jin wore a piece of red coral in her hair, which was simple and noble.
"You make sense for everything, let it be." Ye Mingxuan smiled helplessly, "Go to have a meal first, I'm the one who is so hungry that you are unlucky."
The couple walked out together, Yuchun and Luxia hurriedly followed behind. After their hearts were shocked, they had calmed down. As expected, they were not silenced and thoughts were good. Just watching the prince's care for the princess.
The two of them made up their minds and did not dare to have any other ideas, so they served them more and more carefully.
After using it, Ye Mingxuan went to the front yard to handle the matter. After sitting in the prince, Ye Mingxuan naturally had to deal with the matters of their fiefdom by himself, and he was also busy every day.
Zi Jin read the account book and looked at Yuchun and said to Luxia: "You go and do it. There is no need for anyone to serve you here for the time being. I will naturally call you if you have time. If you have time, I will also train/teach/teach the new little girl. If this girl in the royal palace is not good, I will be punished if the banquet guests lose the face of the royal palace in the future."
Listening to the princess handing over such a thing to them, it was obvious that she could trust them. The two were very happy and went there happily.
Zi Jin looked at people's back and narrowed her eyes. If the people around her must be loyal, let's start the test from this time.
After leaving the door, Lu Xia looked at Yuchun and said, "I didn't expect that the prince was so considerate to the princess. I looked at the girl in the yard and took a break."
"I heard that when the prince was in Kyoto, he held the princess in his hand. The princess's appearance is naturally worthy of the prince's cherishment. What's more, the princess has given birth to a young prince, so who dares to think about it?"
"The families who were invited to the banquet this time are afraid they will be disappointed." Lu Xia said for a long time.
"Who knows, now I know that as long as I do my job well, I will release it to be worthy of someone when I get old. I just hope that the princess will just refer to us as a good family," Yu Chun said.
The two of them were talking and walking to the place, and summoned the girl to give him a good warning.
It was not until noon that it left, and a little girl came over quietly and said to Yuchun: "Sister Yuchun, your brother is waiting for you in the second gate."
Yu Jian was shocked and said to the little girl with a smile, "You have been tired, and you can buy candy." Then he stuffed it to the little girl with more than a dozen copper coins and quickly walked towards the second door.
When he arrived at the second gate, his younger brother was waiting for her anxiously. When he saw her showing up, he hurriedly pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Sister, Mr. Hou asked for a letter of confidence. I have planned to meet several families. I have been traveling several times. At least you can give a letter of confidence. The other side said that as long as you get useful news, I can join the city guards. Sister, do you have any news?"
