Chapter 308
Daming Palace, the West Hall.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, men and women sat in separate seats. Jia Yun had a meal with his ministers in Wuying Hall, while Zhao Xi had a meal with the royal women. After the banquet, the Empress Dowager took Zhao Xi to rest in the hall.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhao Xi sat on the brocade stool and breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the fragrant tea on the table and started drinking it, without looking like a princess at all.
Seeing that Zhao Xi was not in a good shape, the empress dowager raised her eyebrows and said, "Xi'er, pay attention to her demeanor."
Zhao Xi heard this and stood up and pulled the empress dowager's arm and said, "Mother, aren't you tired? It's rare that I will come to the palace once. Don't scold me."
When talking about this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel panicked and cursed: "You still have the face to say this. You have been married for nearly half a year and haven't even entered the palace to see Ai's family. Why? Ai's family is so annoying."
Seeing the queen mother angry, Zhao Xi said with a smile: "It's my son's fault. Mother should not be angry. In the future, my son's son will definitely go to the palace to see my mother's queen more."
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly when she heard this. Zhao Xi was probably crazy in the Princess's Mansion. Don't think she didn't know that Zhao Xi's Princess Mansion had bought many maids.
If it weren't for Zhao Xi's absurd nature, she wouldn't have used despicable means such as warm-hearted wine. Similarly, if it weren't for this, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have used strong means to ignore Jia Yun.
After a pause, the Empress Dowager said earnestly: "Xi'er, you have a husband's family too. You should take care of your husband and children in the future, so you can't mess around."
When Zhao Xi's face collapsed when she heard about "taking care of her husband and children", she couldn't help but think of the warm-hearted wine. She looked at the empress dowager sadly, but she didn't dare to blame the empress dowager. Who made the empress dowager her mother!!!
Seeing that Zhao Xi lowered her eyes and said nothing, the empress dowager couldn't bear to blame her. She pulled Zhao Xi down and whispered: "Today, I'll see if you feel a little uncomfortable. Should you let the female official come and take a look?"
"Mother, what are you talking about!!!" Zhao Xi's pretty face was slightly drunk and her tone was a little angry. Isn't that the reason for her discomfort?
When the empress dowager saw Zhao Xi's angry look, her eyes lit up. Zhao Xi was always "bold". Even as Zhao Xi's mother, the empress dowager, had never seen Zhao Xi's angry look. This daughter really changed a little after getting married, and she couldn't help but think that it was a good thing to let Zhao Xi and Jia Yun complete the family.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother said with a smile: "The Ai family is your mother, what's so hard to say about?"
After saying that, the Empress Dowager continued softly: "Xi'er, Jia Yun is a military general. She has been practicing in the border for many years. Naturally, she is not as weak as those noble young men. In addition, Jia Yun is in her prime and has sufficient energy, so she is in danger of being full of energy. The queen mother also reminded Jia Yun to ask him to be careful. If she can't stand it, let Yingluo and the others help her, so that she should not ruin her body."
After experiencing all the things the empress dowager should have experienced, she will naturally not be embarrassed. She doesn’t have to worry about anything about the conversation between mother and daughter.
But Zhao Xi was ashamed after hearing this. She had never seen such a mother before. She was full of energy and full of energy and could not stand it. How could she dare to say anything?
However, Zhao Xi was not an ordinary daughter after all, so she quickly recovered her mind and pursed her lips and said, "My mother, what are you saying? Then Jia Yun is a complete villain."
The Empress Dowager knew very well that Jia Yun's villain act was nothing more than a matter of warm love wine, but this matter was allowed by the Empress Dowager, so no wonder Jia Yun was wrong.
Thinking of not letting Zhao Xi and Jia Yun and his wife get in a quarrel, the empress dowager started talking and said, "Wine warmly is the meaning of Ai's family, and she has not fulfilled her family for the past six months, so what do you think."
Zhao Xi knew from Jia Yun that this was the empress dowager's meaning, but as a daughter, no wonder her mother, so she naturally blamed Jia Yun. If Jia Yun is stronger in character, why would he use such a despicable method?
"I don't like him. In the future, I will stay in the princess's mansion and never go to the Duke of Lao Shizi again." Zhao Xi was stunned for a long time before saying this, gritting his teeth, looking like he looked disgusted with Jia Yun.
Seeing this, the empress dowager became worried. She finally saw Zhao Xi’s appearance as a daughter, but she didn’t want to make any more trouble. Thinking of this, the empress dowager shouted coldly: “No, Jia Yun is your son-in-law, how can a couple not meet each other?”
Seeing the queen mother's face coldly, Zhao Xi couldn't help but feel sad. How could her mother protect Jia Yun everywhere?
The Empress Dowager, regardless of whether Zhao Xi wants it or not, turned her head and ordered Yingluo, who served Zhao Xi, and said, "Look at the princess. If something goes wrong, the Ai family will not spare you."
Yingluo hurriedly agreed after hearing this, "I obey the order."
After saying that, the Empress Dowager said to Zhao Xi again: "Your princess's mansion will be idle for the time being. In the future, all maids in the mansion will be dismissed. When will the Ai family have grandchildren come out to reopen the princess' mansion?"
Zhao Xi's face turned pale when she heard this. Her mother was trying to force herself to death!!!!!!
"Mother's Queen..." Zhao Xi's apricot eyes were filled with mist, and she shouted to the Queen Mother with sincerity.
Seeing this, the empress dowager couldn't bear it, but for the rest of his life, he could only make up his mind. However, the empress dowager slowed down and reached out to touch Zhao Xi's head, and whispered: "Xi'er, this is also for your own good. Since she is a wife, there is no one who doesn't care about her husband and children. Don't be willful."
Zhao Xi was helpless when she heard this. As a daughter, she couldn't help herself in many things. Anyone who is a man wouldn't have to be so worried...

Daming Palace, the main hall.
"My minister Jia Yun pays homage to the Supreme Emperor."
After leaving the warm pavilion of Wuying Palace, Jia Yun came to Daming Palace directly. It was not that there was something wrong, but that Zhao Xi was here. As the princess, if he left the princess and returned home alone, he would probably have one more person kneeling there on the bluestone road outside the Daming Palace on the next day.
The Supreme Emperor was fiddling with the chessboard. He didn't raise his head when he heard Jia Yun's greetings, and said, "Xi'er is in the West Palace."
Jia Yun was stunned when he heard this. Zhao Xi was in the West Palace. The eunuch led the way to take him here to do something. After pondering, Jia Yun said respectfully: "Then I will go to the West Palace to pick up His Royal Highness the Princess."
After saying that, Jia Yun gave a great gift and said he was leaving.
The Supreme Emperor carried the jade stone and said calmly: "Xi'er talks with her mother about something, you don't have to disturb her."
Jia Yun responded and stood aside. After all, it was the emperor's intention, and Jia Yun was not qualified to refuse.
After a pause, the Supreme Emperor suddenly asked, "Can you know how to play chess?"
Jia Yun was stunned when he heard this. This question made Jia Yun a little abrupt, but Jia Yun hesitated for a while and then hurriedly replied: "I am not good at chess."
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor raised his eyes and looked at Jia Yun, and said, "I'm not good at it, that's the only way to know the chess. Since that's the case, let's pass the time with me."
Jia Yun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. The Supreme Emperor invited him to play chess. This was a strange thing. After pondering, Jia Yun said carefully: "Return to the Supreme Emperor, I am a rough chess skill, so I am afraid that it will defile the Supreme Emperor's eyes."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said, "No obstacle, it's just a leisure time."
Since the Supreme Emperor said this, Jia Yun naturally couldn't help but walk towards Emperor Chongming, walked to the chessboard, saluted respectfully, and sat down.
Although Jia Yun is not good at chess, he still knows the rules of playing chess. Jia Yun takes white chess first. Of course, this is what the Supreme Emperor means, otherwise Jia Yun will not go first.
During the game between the two, the Supreme Emperor said casually as if he were a family: "Xi'er is absurd, you, the prince consort, should be more responsible."
My daughter knows that Zhao Xi is so willful that it is really hard to get along with her.
Jia Yun hurriedly said respectfully: "I am afraid, Your Highness is a straightforward person, and it is quite cool. It is my blessing to be the princess's son-in-law."
Faced with the father-in-law's advice, Jia Yun naturally agreed to everything, so Jia Yun said some well-behaved words, half true and half false!!!
The Supreme Emperor was stunned when he heard this and chuckled, "You are the first one who said Xier was the one who acted solemnly."
Jia Yun replied respectfully: "I am just telling the truth."
Zhao Xi is a golden branch and jade leaf. Besides, she is favored by the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother. She has the capital to be casual, so she naturally has the intention to do so. Feudal society has a lot of constraints on her daughter. Which family would tolerate such absurd as Zhao Xi?
The Supreme Emperor nodded gently, agreeing with Jia Yun's truth. He pondered and then said, "I have heard about you and Xi'er. Today, I would like to remind you as a father. Since Xi'er married into the Jia family, it is your wife of the Jia family. I will not pay attention to the affairs between you and your husband, but there is only one request, and you cannot be wronged by Xi'er."
Jia Yun sneered in his heart when he heard this. The royal family affection must be based on power. If the Supreme Emperor really cared about family affection, how could he marry Zhao Xi as a bargaining chip for political marriage? How could he fight for power with Emperor Chongming, who had his own son,? After all, it was not a cause for power.
However, Jia Yun was not so stupid that he spoke out, so he could only respond.
Seeing that Jia Yun's attitude was quite correct, the Supreme Emperor was very satisfied. After leaving a son, the Supreme Emperor continued, "Jia Yun, what do you think of King Ning?"
Jia Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. The Supreme Emperor finally said that he was serious. He just said that he invited him, an outsider, to play chess for no reason, and it was clearly setting up a trap.
Since asking Jia Yun about King Ning, this looks like he was trying to win over King Ning. Thinking of this, Jia Yun said respectfully: "Your Highness Ning is so majestic and handsome, and he is rare to get many talented people. With such talented brothers, it is actually a blessing for the emperor and a blessing for the court. The Supreme Emperor can rest assured."
Jia Yun could not say bad things about Ning Wang. Since that's the case, Jia Yun would say "good things".
The Supreme Emperor heard what Jia Yun meant that the emperor was all ministers, and it was useless no matter how handsome you were, and not only that, he was restless, but it was nothing more than saying that the Supreme Emperor would not have to fight for power and profit anymore.
"The word "六子" by Lao Si gave you a good word, very good." The Supreme Emperor said coldly.
Jia Yun refused to comment when he heard this. He just went to enjoy his old age when he was old. What kind of demon should he be? But then again, if the Supreme Emperor had not acted as a demon, then Jia Yun would not have fallen into the eyes of Emperor Chongming. He sucked and slapped him. Jia Yun would have to thank the Supreme Emperor!!!
Not long after, the Empress Dowager and the angry Zhao Xi walked in and chatted for a few words. Zhao Xi and Jia Yun left together. The Emperor looked at the chessboard in front of him. The black piece of the chessboard was an absolute advantage, but he was also bitten by Bai Zi for a few bites. The Emperor looked at the chessboard for a while and said in his heart: "The chess skills are average, but the spirit is very strong. It is a good chess piece that can break the situation. The fourth brother has a good vision......"
