Chapter 438 The End (2)

After Zhao Youyou's excitement when he saw his parents, he was so tired that he lay down in Rong Jingqiu's arms and fell asleep. Rong Jingqiu hugged him and patted him gently twice, and he slept more well.

When Zhao Yu saw the child asleep, his voice talking to Rong Jingqiu became much lighter, "I'll rest in this villa today, and I'll go back tomorrow."

Rong Jingqiu looked at Zhao Yu's tired face, her eyes were full of distress. She put the child in her arms aside and let him sleep by himself. Then she reached out to touch Zhao Yu's face, "I think you are very tired recently, so it's better not to go back for the time being."

The palace was too big and she didn't like it.

Zhao Yu reached out and gently pressed her hand that was stroking her face, "Don't worry, I can handle it," he paused and sneered, "But sooner or later, I will drive the old man, Prime Minister Qi, back to his hometown."

Prime Minister Qi has been in charge of the government for so many years, especially in recent years, the emperor of Daxing is in poor health and many political affairs need to be handled by Prime Minister Qi. This has enhanced his ambitions and made him more arrogant.

Moreover, Zhao Yu was too young. In the eyes of an old man like Prime Minister Qi, he was a young man with no hair, so he naturally felt less respect.

In fact, they had already known this situation. Only when they faced such an old guy, they realized how difficult it was to deal with him.

Rong Jingqiu had never dealt with Prime Minister Qi, but she knew that this person was domineering and could support her daughter in her previous life to steal people and continue to control the government affairs. She knew that this was not a good thing.

Thinking of the history of the world before she traveled through time, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Since the Prime Minister of Qi refuses to hand over power and wants to continue to control the government, then I will try to divide his power and put him under the guild."

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife. His wife thought of going with him. Sometimes when he felt that he knew his wife very well, she would surprise him from time to time, so he encouraged him, "Tell me, look."

When Rong Jingqiu saw his excited eyebrows and eyes, she suddenly smiled. It turned out that they had a good understanding of each other, and it was right. Zhao Yu had long thought about facing the situation like this today.

He can only clean up the mess left by the Emperor of Daxing.

So she leaned over and said softly in his ears about the history that happened in that time and space, but she had never been in the court after all. All she could say was a rough idea. How to implement it depends on Zhao Yu.

The method that Rong Jingqiu said had a hazy prototype in his heart, but after she mentioned it, he had a more specific idea in his heart.

He excitedly kissed Rong Jingqiu's face, "Your method is feasible. I will go to the study here to improve this idea first. You won't have to wait for me to have a meal later."

When he gets busy, he doesn't like people to disturb him.

Rong Jingqiu knew his habits and did not stop him, but she still said, "You have to take this matter slowly and don't be too hasty."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I know." So he turned around and left in a hurry like a gust of wind.

Rong Jin, who was bringing the cut fruits and pastries, saw Zhao Yu leaving in a hurry and thought the couple had a quarrel, so he quickly handed the tray in his hand to Lin An, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing that his daughter was tucking a quilt for his grandson, he quickly relaxed and stepped forward and whispered, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Rong Jingqiu glanced at her and replied softly, "He still has political affairs, so let's go and do it first." Obviously, he did not understand the worry in Rong Jin's words.

When Rong Jin saw her daughter looking like she was fine, she couldn't help but feel anxious, but she didn't talk to her daughter to the point of talking about everything, so she had to indirectly say, "Why did I see Your Majesty's expression a little anxious..."

Hearing this, Rong Jingqiu realized that Rong Jin had been thinking wrongly. As a result, when she turned around, she saw the anxiousness in her eyes, and she said with a hint of laughter, "Don't think about it, there is nothing to do, I'm going to be with him. If you don't believe me, please ask the wet nurse." After that, she gave Lin An a wink.

Lin An understood and put down the tray in his hand, then pulled Rong Jin, who looked puzzled, out to explain clearly to her that since Rong Jingqiu's wedding, she has been serving her in close proximity and knows the best way of getting along with Rong Jingqiu and Zhao Yu.

In the evening, the villa welcomed several important officials today, of course, there would not be any prime minister of Qi among them.

The eleventh prince's concubine Jin Rui came in to pay tribute to Rong Jingqiu, "Grandma is auspicious."

"You are just naughty." Rong Jingqiu tapped the tip of her cousin's nose, "It's better for you to call me a cousin."

Although Jin Rui is also the royal daughter-in-law, she likes to call Rong Jingqiu's cousin both before and after marriage. The ninth sister-in-law rarely calls her. In her heart, her cousin's relationship is much closer than that of the ninth sister-in-law.

"Isn't cousin going to be the queen? I have to get used to it in advance." Jin Rui said with a compliment.

Although I have been busy with the funeral of the Emperor of the Daxing River recently, the imperial edict of the Queen will be issued sooner or later. This is a foregone conclusion, and everyone in the world knows it.

Rong Jingqiu said, "You, you won't be like this in the future."

Jin Rui smiled embarrassedly, knowing in her heart that this is not good for people to hear.

Rong Jingqiu sat beside him and said something kind of self-contained. He knew that she was here, and the eleventh prince must have come to discuss political affairs. In his previous life, the eleventh prince was Zhao Yu's most valued brother. I'm afraid that this will be the same in this life. After Zhao Yu officially ascended the throne, he will officially enthrone the eleventh prince as king.

"My second sister-in-law wanted to come, but when I said she wanted to come, she took the initiative to stay and handle the palace affairs, so she didn't come." Jin Rui explained to Lu, and knew in her heart that Lu gave in to her everywhere because Rong Jingqiu was her legitimate cousin, otherwise why would she treat her preferentially?

She knew very well that she was full of this cousin’s glory everywhere, so she had to pay special attention to her behavior. She didn’t say that she wanted to add icing on the cake, but she couldn’t cause trouble or gossip.

"The second uncle is here too?" Rong Jingqiu asked.

"Here," Jin Rui replied without a doubt, "I came together after receiving His Majesty's will."

Rong Jingqiu knew it now. In this life, the second prince would probably have to do better than in his previous life. In this way, he would probably give Lu more preferential treatment. People's hearts are all won. "Let me go back and let me give my second sister some food to reward me."

Jin Rui felt relieved when she heard this. When she turned around, Lu knew that she had said good things in the middle, and that the relationship between the two families would be closer.

"What are the difficulties encountered during these days when I got married to the Eleventh Prince?" Rong Jingqiu asked with concern.

Jin Rui smiled without thinking, "This is not the case. Your Highness treats me very well. He even dismissed the people who served me before the marriage. This gave me great respect. The two sisters-in-law are not people who like to make trouble. What else can I do?"

"Where is the biological mother of the eleventh prince?"

Jin Rui was stunned. She was just a little simple, not really ignorant. Her cousin suddenly mentioned the concubine Shu who was deposed and locked in the cold palace. She instantly understood her cousin's intention.

"Your Highness took me to see me once. She liked me very much and had a very kind attitude," she carefully used the words and tried her best to express it clearly. "It seems that it is not a difficult person, but she does not let us visit her too much, so that we can live a good life, saying that she is a sinner, not only in this life, but also in the next life..."

She is still confused about what her husband's biological mother has done. Her husband has never said it explicitly, and her parents have told her not to inquire about her mother-in-law. In short, she is locked in the cold palace and can't get in the way, so she doesn't have to worry too much.

She didn't want to care too much, but now when she asks her alone, she can't ignore it.

She looked at her cousin's expression carefully, but she didn't see it. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said carefully, "Cousin, I see that the cold palace is so desolate. I want to send two people to this mother-in-law to come over. Are you right to say this?"

When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she also looked at her cousin. Jin Rui's cousin's reaction was much smarter than she thought, and she could make a decision quickly. This decisiveness is not something that ordinary people can have. Then she smiled and said, "Why is it inappropriate? But you have to discuss this with Uncle Eleven. He is his biological mother at least."

She was always worried about Concubine Shu. Even if the other party had nothing left now, she had to guard against it. Madam Dou was killed now, but she had not yet figured out the real intention of Concubine Shu until now, so someone must have watched this person.

Of course, she also placed people in the cold palace to look at Concubine Shu, but these outsiders were not as comfortable as Jin Rui, Concubine Shu's daughter-in-law, who was personally supervised.

As for whether Jin Rui will be biased towards her husband's mother-in-law, she doesn't think there is too much worry about this problem. Jin Rui can rely on the Jin family. If the Jin family does not support Jin Rui, then Jin Rui will not be able to jump around. Of course, this is the worst prediction. At this stage, she thinks that it is unlikely to happen.

Jin Rui is a smart person, and she knows where the power she can borrow is.

"That's for sure, cousin, don't worry." Jin Rui patted her chest and said, indicating that she would take charge of the matter. If there is any change, she would inform her as soon as possible.

The closest relatives and close relatives are husband and wife. Although she gets along in harmony with the 11th prince, she does not have a complete heart-to-heart relationship. Both parties have reservations. In her opinion, it is better to have a little distance. Anyway, she does not have that great ambition and reality does not allow it.

Rong Jingqiu then patted her cousin's hand.

Rong Jinshi came in at the right time. When Jinrui saw her, she smiled and greeted her aunt with affectionate look. She looked like Rong Jinshi's daughter more like Rong Jingqiu's daughter.

Rong Jin saw this niece in the past with a quiet side. This time, she became versatile in dealing with things, obviously making progress compared to before she got married. She was happy when she saw it and spoke more intimately.

At this time, Prime Minister Qi was playing chess with his daughter Qi Aoer who had returned to her parents' home. When he heard a report from his confidant that the new king summoned several important officials to the other houses in the suburbs of Beijing to discuss matters, including the second prince, the eleventh prince, Ning Jing Hou Shizi and his son.

Qi Aoer was listening to the list with her ears pricked up, and the more she heard her brows became tighter and tighter.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Qi waved his hand to signal his confidant to retreat.

"Dad, what does this new lord mean?" Qi Aoer jumped up and said, "Does he plan to cross the river to destroy the bridge? He hasn't held the throne ceremony yet, so he wants to kick us away. How can this be done in the world?"

She almost burst into anger, and she became more and more angry with the fourth prince and his wife who had been in trouble. If they hadn't harmed her, she wouldn't have been married in a hurry. Today, she could only watch Rong Jingqiu, who was not as good as her, would have become the queen in her life. This is the pain in her heart for the rest of her life.

"Don't be impatient, have you forgotten to teach your father?" Prime Minister Qi raised his eyes and looked at his impatient daughter.

Since her marriage was not satisfactory, her daughter has become more and more impetuous.

"I heard that you like to hold banquets recently, and invite famous Confucian scholars to recite poems and write counterfeits. Is this a matter?"

When Qi Aoer heard his father ask about this, he became angry and admitted directly, "It's true that there is this matter, Dad, he also agrees with the son-in-law. Only with me to match him can he rise. Dad, don't worry about this matter, I know what's going on..."

"My daughter's family still has to worry about her reputation." Prime Minister Qi said.

No matter how good a daughter is, her daughter is still unwilling to accept it. She wants to take such an opportunity to expand her influence among Confucian scholars and interfere with the government. This cannot be considered wrong, but it is extremely dangerous. If one is not good, the daughter will cause trouble. This is also the reason why he hurriedly called her back today.

"Dad, my daughter is unwilling to live a life of taking care of a man and raising children. My years of knowledge are not for living a normal life with a useless man. I..."

"What else do you want?" Prime Minister Qi interrupted his daughter, "Will you let the new king take you into the palace as a concubine?"

Qi Aoer raised her head slightly and said, "Dad, my daughter won't be a concubine."

If she wants to do it, she must be the queen, not just a concubine. Of course, this idea is no longer realistic now, but she wants Zhao Yu, the new king, to see her value, and regret missing a virtuous supporter like her.

Yes, what she wants is Zhao Yu's regret.

Looking at his daughter's clenched fists, Prime Minister Qi did not scold his daughter in the end. After all, his battle with Zhao Yu has begun to show his strength. If he wants to protect his rights, he must knock down the new king's arrogance.

When Qi Aoer saw that his father did not object, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it for a while. When he thought of Zhao Yu, who was discussing affairs with his close friends, he instantly understood his father's use of the picture, "Dad, do you hope to set off a wave of opposing the new king's policy among Confucian scholars?"

Prime Minister Qi looked at the black and white chess piece in the chessboard, and suddenly picked up a black piece and went down to an unexpected place. "Young people are very angry, so they must reduce the fire."

He had to teach Zhao Yu to understand what respect for the elderly means. This world is not only the world of the Zhao family, but also the world of the people.

When Qi Aoer heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, this matter is for my daughter."

She was very excited at this moment. This was the turbulent life she wanted. She was born to be a woman who should not live an ordinary life. She believed that only I was born to be useful.

Both the father and daughter of the Qi family were very energetic, and Rong Jingqiu's eyes did not focus on Prime Minister Qi. She could not deal with this old fry in the court, and Zhao Yu would have to come. In addition, she was worried that Qi Aoer would fight back, so she kept watching her.

So she also knows the other person's lifestyle very clearly.

"What is the moral of a woman and a group of big men all day long?" Rong Jinshi couldn't help but feel shocked when she heard about Qi Aoer's deeds after marriage.
