Huo Jingchen only felt that although the girl in her arms was not moving randomly, she was warm and soft in her arms, so how could she not be confused? The woman's soft long hair brushed across her cheeks, causing a tremor, making Huo Jingchen feel good.
The calmer heart becomes more and more complicated.
Huo Jingchen took a deep breath and put the woman in his arms on the chair. When he saw her a little confused, he then suddenly realized and laughed. His heart seemed to be soaked in hot water, jumping around.
.
"I was busy on duty during the day and finally got rested. You were locked in the mansion by your wife. I have never seen you again since that engagement."
There was a trace of inaudible grievance in his voice, Huo Jingchen smiled bitterly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, "I originally thought of coming to see you while the night was covered tonight, but I didn't want to alarm others, so I jumped from the window
Come in, but never thought about it…”
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "But I never thought I was taking a shower!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jingchen's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "I didn't mean it, I just misunderstood. If I knew you were there, I was taking a shower... I wouldn't come in no matter what I said."
Seeing his embarrassed look, a smile flashed in Jiang Hexi's eyes. When he remembered the beautiful scene just now, his face was red and he glanced at him shyly, his voice was soft and soft: "It's okay, you haven't seen anything anyway.
, and... and we will get married soon, and when we see it, it's nothing."
Speaking of the latter, Jiang Hexi's voice was almost unheard, and his head lowered shyly.
Huo Jingchen was so excited that he blew his head and rolled his throat a few times, gently hugging the girl on his heart.
For a moment, only the two people hugged each other tightly in the room, and the atmosphere was warm and ambiguous.
"Well, are you very tired recently? I saw that your eyes were a little dark." Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen's face carefully, and indeed saw that he was a little tired.
Huo Jingchen chuckled, "I'm fine, but His Majesty has sent me some tasks recently. I'm just busy with official duties."
"Official affairs are important, but you should also pay attention to rest. What if your body is broken?" Jiang Hexi pouted, feeling a little distressed and helpless.
Huo Jingchen responded well: "Okay, I will definitely pay attention to my health in the future and never let Xier secretly worry about her."
"It's just that things have become serious recently, and I have to worry about it. Ziting is coming back. This is the biggest voyage since the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty. They also brought back a group of foreign envoys on this trip. My Dasheng is a country of etiquette.
His Majesty repeatedly reminded him to let the envoys be at home. This time I am responsible for ensuring safety. I must ensure that they will not make any mistakes on the day they come back. I have been busy for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Mr. Song is coming back, great!"
Before, when Song Ziting and his group went to sea, many officials in the court did not support it. If Song Ziting had not used the excuse of promoting our country's power and raising the country all over the world, I guess Emperor Jian'an would not have let go so soon.
However, the court finally used the reason why the Ministry of Revenue was not enough to provide funds to the sea. Song Ziting had no choice but to come up with a way to cooperate with officials and businessmen to let big merchants everywhere pay the money. The court promised some goods to transport, which made this happen.
The trip to sea was successfully carried out.
Jiang Hexi naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. Many officials in the court only saw that going to sea consumed huge amounts of money, but they did not expect that they would only earn more money. Perhaps they were not unaware of it, but they were just unwilling to take such a big risk.
.
But businessmen like Jiang Hexi naturally knew the huge profits behind it. Can a small jewelry from the Western Regions be sold at a sky-high price in the capital? If it were those treasures from the farther foreign lands, they would definitely be more tempting, and then it would be
A hundred times the profit!
So Jiang Hexi gathered around and persuaded Wen Jianzhou, the mogul, to invest a huge sum of money together, waiting for Song Ziting and others to come back to divide the fruits.
"I wonder when Lord Song will come back. Can I go and see it?"
Huo Jingchen was so amused that she didn't know what she was thinking, "This trip involved foreign envoys, and idle people were unable to wait to get close. You can only watch from a distance and cannot go there, otherwise the Gyeonggi-guwei would be regarded as a person with ulterior motives.
Arrested."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi shrugged his head and said reluctantly: "Okay, then I won't go."
Seeing that she was lost, Huo Jingchen felt a little distressed and hurriedly comforted him: "But Your Majesty will hold a banquet that day. You can also attend with your wife. Wouldn't you be able to see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, then I must see clearly then!" Jiang Hexi's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Huo Jingchen played with her hair and said softly: "Xi'er, the Empress Dowager wants to see you. She may summon you into the palace tomorrow. You can prepare first."
"But she is very kind. I will come to the palace to accompany you tomorrow. Don't worry, she won't make things difficult for you."
"Ah! The Empress Dowager actually wants to see me." Jiang Hexi was shocked and felt uneasy, but when he saw Huo Jingchen's gentle eyes, he immediately calmed down a lot for some reason and bit his lip: "Okay, that's it
Remember to say a few more good things for me, otherwise I won’t spare you!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely say a few words to you in front of my grandma." Huo Jingchen smiled and said gently: "Grandma Aunt loves me since she was a child. She will not make things difficult for you, she just wants to see you. Let's go tomorrow
Just one process, and the Queen has always been kind and will not make things difficult for you. You can rest assured."
"All right."

Early tomorrow morning, someone came to the palace.
"Madam, the Empress Dowager wants to see the Prince Chunxi, please ask the Prince to join the palace today." Aunt Huixin, who was beside the Empress Dowager, looked at Jiang Hexi without any trace. When she saw her calm appearance, a trace flashed in her eyes.
Appreciate.
Yu family comforted Jiang Hexi, "Then it's Aunt Huixin, Mom Xi, you come to the palace with me many times. Today you can enter the palace with the girl."
"Yes, madam." Xi's mother responded respectfully.
Yu took Jiang Hexi's hand and smiled, "Since the Empress Dowager wants to see you, then you can just go to the palace and don't be nervous."
"Auntie, I understand." Jiang Hexi nodded with a smile and said to Aunt Huixin: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"You are polite, please follow me on the carriage." Aunt Huixin smiled slightly and took Jiang Hexi into the magnificent carriage brought out of the palace.
Liang Ran looked at their departure backs with some concern, "Mom, why did the Empress Dowager suddenly want to see Xier?"
Yu smiled comfortingly, "Brother Chen is the younger generation loved by the Empress Dowager. Now that he is engaged, he naturally wants to meet Xier. Don't worry, I have seen Empress Dowager many times. He is reasonable and will not make things difficult for Xi.
Son's."
"I hope so." A trace of worry flashed in Liang Ran's eyes and she forced a smile.
Jiang Hexi only brought the more steady Xiyue and Xi's mother with her experience during this trip. The group entered the palace in a mighty manner.
The carriage slowly drove into the deep palace and stayed at a luxurious palace.
"Prince of the County, please get off the carriage."
"Okay." Jiang Hexi comforted Xiyue and walked out of the carriage with his mother Xi's palm. When he looked up, he saw that the "Cining Palace" with dragons and phoenixes dancing above the golden nanmu plaque was written, which was like the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Jiang Hexi didn't dare to look at him too much, but looked at his nose and his heart, and followed Huixin into the palace.
"Please wait, please wait, and I will go in and report it." Aunt Huixin stopped at the door and said with a smile.
Jiang Hexi could vaguely hear the woman's laughter, and her heart became more and more nervous, and she couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.
Xi Yue, who was standing beside him, didn't even dare to raise her head and lowered her head.
Not long after, Aunt Huixin walked out again.
"Please follow my servant in."
"Thank you, Aunt Huixin."
As soon as he walked in, Jiang Hexi took a quick look at the top and saw an energetic old woman sitting there, her hair gradually climbing onto silver threads, a luxurious and elegant palace robe, a quiet face, and a slightly drooping eyes.
But he looked at her with a smile and lovingly, and it was obviously Empress Dowager Huo.
Below is a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a yellow palace robe. She is graceful, elegant, bright and generous, with a smile on her lips. She must be Queen Li.
Other gorgeously dressed beauties may be Emperor Jian'an's concubines.
There was also a pretty and charming young woman sitting next to Empress Dowager Huo, looking at her with a smile.
Jiang Hexi didn't dare to look at it anymore, respectfully blessed her body, lowered her eyes and said softly: "I have met the Queen Mother, everyone."
"My mother, this is indeed a smart child, so Mother can rest assured." Queen Li covered her mouth and smiled, and glanced at Queen Huo with beautiful eyes.
Empress Dowager Huo bent her lips and nodded with a smile, "He is a good child, you are Xier who Wuyang often talks about? Come here and let the Ai family have a good look."
"Yes." Jiang Hexi calmed down and walked over.
Empress Dowager Huo looked at her carefully for a long time. When she saw her calm and generous face, she nodded with satisfaction, took off a crystal clear jade bracelet in her hand and put it in Jiang Hexi's hand.
"This is the dowry given to Ai's family by my grandmother on the day the Ai family married into the palace. She has been with me for many years. I will give it to you today. I hope you are well and well and beautiful, and your life will be smooth."
"Empress Dowager, this." Jiang Hexi instantly felt the sharp eyes projecting from all directions. He only felt that the bracelet in his hand was as hot as a potato, and subconsciously refused.
Empress Dowager Huo stopped her movements without any refusal, and gently touched her hair with deep eyes, "The elders give it, you must not refuse. This is the wish of the Ai family, you can just take it."
