The second update is here today!!! There is also a third update!!! It is estimated to be around 11:30, thank you
——————————————
Zhengyao and Ning'an's wedding night was spent in a fight, full of laughter and tears.
After the couple woke up on the second day, they followed the basic etiquette and served tea with Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng was also very happy and had completely forgotten about the unpleasant incident that happened a few days ago. After all, his daughter-in-law is a princess. Regardless of her status or character, Ning An is enough to satisfy Li Chengfeng.
After morning tea, it was natural to go into the palace to meet Jiajing and Concubine Shen. The princess left the palace and needed to go home for a visit the next day.
Entering the palace early in the morning, there was naturally a lot of greetings and greetings, which made Concubine Shen burst into tears. It seemed that Ning An had never been so moved and sad when she came back after a month of missing. Perhaps it can be understood this way: she cried with joy.
Zhengyao and Jiajing were not like that. After some salutes, Zhengyao followed Jiajing to the imperial study.
"Zhengyao, now you have become my consort. From now on, I will ask you to help me share more of the affairs in the court." When he came to the imperial study, Jiajing said with a smile, and then sat down. He came down and motioned for Zhengyao to sit down as well.
Zhengyao is welcome. Anyway, he is also half the son of the emperor. Relatively speaking, his relationship with Jiajing is one step closer, and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is better than before.
After sitting down, Zhengyao pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Yes. My father has a destiny, and I will do my best. But there is something I want my father to agree to."
"Oh? What's going on?" Jiajing asked.
Zhengyao said: "My son-in-law's sworn brother Zhang Cheng previously sent a secret letter saying that he had found some clues about the first four prefects of Xi'an in Xi'an. However, as he searched, he suddenly stopped. At the same time, he also found that there seemed to be someone behind his back. They are monitoring their every move. For this reason, my husband-in-law is deeply worried about his eldest brother, so he wants to go to Shaanxi in advance to provide support. I hope that this mystery in Xi'an can be solved as soon as possible."
Zhengyao had long wanted to go to Xi'an to read the secret letters sent by Zhang Cheng and Liang Yu. The situation was not optimistic. If he didn't leave quickly, I was afraid Zhang Cheng and others would be in danger, and it would be too late by then.
After all, the deaths of the first four prefects were inexplicable, and there must be a hidden secret. Although Zhang Cheng and Liang Yu arrived in Xi'an safely, the other party just wanted to imprison you. Once Zhang Cheng and Liang Yu get involved in investigating the previous cases, they may It will cause fire, and it is naturally unrealistic to ensure safety.
"The mystery of Xi'an..." At this point, Jiajing couldn't help but sigh.
There has never been such a scene in the past. Four consecutive governors of Xi'an died inexplicably. Although it seemed to be accidents on the surface, there was no reason why it would be such a coincidence. Even the mediocre Jiajing would find it strange. He He would also feel annoyed because of this. It was only three things, and it was obvious that Jiajing had taken this matter to heart.
After pondering for a moment, Jiajing said: "Well, since there are clues, we must investigate carefully. In this way. Today is the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, after the New Year, and after you and the princess have been married for one month, I will appoint you as an imperial envoy. Go to Xi'an to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"I will obey my father's will in everything!" Zhengyao replied crisply.
Time passed quickly. Not long after, Zhengyao and Jiajing discussed some trivial matters in the court. They talked about Yan Song, Lu Bing, and Prince Jing. Unknowingly, the sun was shining brightly. By noon, it's time to have lunch.
This time, Zheng Yao did not refuse, so he and Jiajing Concubine Shen Guifei Ning An shared a table to have a drink. In the eyes of outsiders, the family seemed harmonious, which was enviable to others. After a sumptuous meal, he was full without even eating a few dishes. After the luncheon, Zhengyao and Concubine Shen had some family affairs again. Not to mention, Zhengyao was also good at chatting with those women, making them laugh so hard that it was hard not to laugh.
Concubine Shen was naturally full of joy for Zhengyao. Before she left, she even told Zhengyao to take good care of Ning'an, a naughty and troublemaker. Now Ning'an is no longer the princess in the past, but married to the Li family. Shao nainai.
However, it is now much more convenient for Zheng Yao to enter the palace. In the past, he had to walk for at least half an hour to enter the palace. But now the Prince Consort's Mansion is not too far from the palace. It is a prosperous area in the capital, covers a large area, and has royal majesty. .No, it only took about a quarter of an hour to enter the palace this morning.
After returning to the Prince Consort's Mansion, Li Chengfeng and Yuan Fengming were not there either. They probably went to see their old friend Zou Cen. Zhengyao and Ning'an ignored them and went back to their rooms to do what they had not enjoyed last night. As for Xiao Xi, There was no sign of him all day long, and he wandered off to no one knows where.
For Zheng Yao, he should also take a good rest. It seems that he has never had much peace of mind since he came here, and he has been in a state of nervous tension. He finally broke his legs and feet due to a dispute with Yan Hao, so he needs to rest. After a period of time, he immediately took the imperial examination again. After that, he took the martial arts examination, fell into the valley, and solved cases one after another, which made him feel very tired and tired.
Although Zhengyao didn't show it, once he stopped, he collapsed on the bed. Ning'an looked at Zhengyao, who was sleeping like a dead pig on the bed, with extreme dissatisfaction in his mouth. The key point Time, isn’t this okay?
When he woke up, it was already noon on the second day. It seemed that Zhengyao had not slept so deeply and peacefully for a long time. And Ning'an didn't mean to disturb him. He actually got up early and took Xiaoxi to teach him. The embroidery thing made Xiao Xi laugh for a while.
Ning'an had previously embroidered a beautiful picture as a gift to Annan Prince Mo Maoqia. The content embroidered on it was also extremely rough, so a rough man like Mo Maoqia would accept it without hesitation. For this reason, Zhengyao It was funny for a while, but I never thought that Ning An would prepare embroidery again. Maybe when a person meets his significant other, he would do something different from before, and it would be a good thing.
"Princess...Princess!"
Just when Zheng Yao had just gotten up and Ning An was learning embroidery, he saw Feng Bao hurriedly ran into the Prince Consort's Mansion and shouted loudly at the door of the hall.
Xiao Xi had the best ears. When she heard the shouting, she immediately went over and brought Feng Bao in.
After Feng Bao saw Dao Ning'an and Zhengyao, he immediately bowed and said: "The slave joins the princess, and joins the emperor's consort."
"Forgive me, why did Eunuch Feng come to my Prince Consort's house in such a hurry?" Zhengyao behaved like a real man at this moment. He immediately walked up to Ning An and said to Feng Bao.
Originally, Zheng Yao was already a third-rank official, which was a step higher than his fifth-rank housekeeper. Moreover, with his current title of Prince Consort, he could speak domineeringly in front of Feng Bao.
Of course, Feng Bao is a smart man. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no prince-in-law has been able to serve as an official in the court or get involved in government affairs. Even if he was an official before, he would lose his original official position when he became the prince-son-in-law.
They were torn off one after another. This was the rule set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
But now Jiajing not only did not remove Zhengyao from his previous official position, but also specially named him the 'imperial consort', which really surprised everyone. Although this kind of thing went against the order of the ancestors, Jiajing had made up his mind.
Who dares
Against his will? Besides, there were not people who argued against the re-opening of the martial arts examination before, saying that it was Taizu's decree. But last time Yan Song was in the way, and this time even Yan Song didn't object.
Who can object anymore?
It can be seen that no matter who he is, as long as he has become outdated, his words and orders will eventually be gradually forgotten by people, even if he has outstanding achievements, even if he has immortal deeds. In fact, it still depends on the times.
Are development and social progress consistent with those previous regulations?
Therefore, in Feng Bao's view, such an outstanding person is definitely someone to fawn over. If he wants to be more comfortable in the harem in the future, he must have a good relationship with Zheng Yao.
Feng Bao raised his head, looked at Zheng Yao and said solemnly: "Reporting to the Prince Consort, the Emperor has summoned you for something urgent. I hope that the Prince Consort will come to the palace immediately to meet the emperor."
"Enter the palace to meet the saint? Does Eunuch Feng know what happened?" Zhengyao couldn't help but said with some doubts.
Judging from Feng Bao's solemn expression, it seems that the situation is a bit serious. Jiajing's request to enter the palace must be no small matter. He just came back from the palace yesterday, and Jiajing specially asked himself to accompany Ning'an to recuperate for a month.
After a peaceful year, now something suddenly comes to me again. It's not surprising and it doesn't make sense.
Feng Bao nodded and said: "Well, I don't know the details. But I heard that the emperor received an urgent secret letter of 800 miles this morning, and when the emperor read it, he looked very serious. After thinking about it,
Finally, he invited all the ministers to go to the palace and held a long meeting. After that, the emperor specially ordered his servants to come to find the prince consort and enter the palace. As for the rest, the servants really don’t know."
Feng Bao said it in detail, but he still didn't say what the specific matter was.
But judging from what Feng Bao said and what Jiajing did, it seemed that something big must have happened in such a tense and urgent manner. The reason why Zhengyao was not called to court immediately was probably because Zhengyao was still with Ning
I just wanted to go on my "honeymoon" and didn't want to disturb him. But after an early morning meeting, for the sake of safety, I still need to call Zhengyao to discuss it.
Zhengyao already had an idea in his mind at this moment, nodded and said: "Well, let's go into the palace immediately. Princess, wait here for my return, soon!"
"Well, my consort, be careful all the way and come back for dinner." Ning An said with concern. It seemed that if no one else was around, she would even give Zheng Yao a kiss goodbye.
"Well, Prince Consort, please." After Feng Bao finished speaking, he immediately led the way.
