Jin Feng subconsciously looked at the Ninth Princess.
In fact, he is quite satisfied with his current situation.
The Chamber of Commerce was handed over to Tang Xiaobei, the bank was handed over to Zhu Linglong, the escort agency and the Zhenyuan Army were handed over to Zhang Liang, the smelting workshop was handed over to Mancang, the textile factory was handed over to Tang Dongdong, and the military doctor was handed over to Wei Wuya and Zhou Jin.
He was a hands-off shopkeeper himself, and he had no shortage of money. He had a lovely wife and concubines, so he could just invent things. Even if the emperor wanted to arrange an official position for him, Jin Feng would not agree.
The only thing that made Jin Feng feel embarrassed was the matter between him and the Ninth Princess.
According to the rules, if he wants to marry the Ninth Princess, he must divorce his wife.
This is something Jin Feng cannot accept.
So when the emperor asked him about his personal request, Jin Feng's first thought was this.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ninth Princess shaking her head at him, and then secretly pointed at herself, indicating that she would handle the matter.
Jin Feng understood what Ninth Princess meant. Although he didn't know how she planned to deal with it, he decided not to mention the matter out of trust in Ninth Princess.
Seeing that Chen Ji was still looking at him, he said: "Thousands of hectares of fertile land, but only three meals a day, thousands of mansions, and only three feet of bed to sleep on. I have nothing to ask for. I only hope that the country will be prosperous, the people will be safe, and the people will be safe."
Live and work in peace and contentment.”
"When I read your poems before, I felt that they were extraordinary. But now that I hear these words, they are really noble!"
Chen Ji was moved to tears when he heard what Jin Feng said. He turned around and said to the civil and military officials: "If you are even half as enlightened as Jin Feng, how can Da Kang be like this?"
"You are not a good person either..."
Jin Feng cursed in his heart, but kept a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
The Ninth Princess glanced at Jin Feng approvingly, took a step forward, and said: "Father, sir, you are very righteous and don't seek fame or wealth, but this time you first rescued the driver and then commanded the bodyguards to defeat the Eastern Barbarians. Everything was done."
This is an unparalleled achievement, and my father must reward him."
"Of course I know that merit should be rewarded, but he doesn't want anything!" Chen Ji said helplessly.
"Sir, if you don't want it, Father, you can reward the people around him, such as the bodyguards who fought just now, and your wife," the Ninth Princess said.
"His wife?" Chen Ji couldn't help but be stunned.
He could understand rewarding the escort, but why should he reward Jin Feng's wife?
He was still discussing with Concubine Qing last night, planning to go back and talk to Jin Feng to ask him to divorce his wife and marry the Ninth Princess.
Thinking of this, Chen Ji frowned suddenly.
He knows his daughter Mo Ruofu, and he has somewhat guessed the intention of the ninth princess.
Sure enough, the Ninth Princess then said: "My husband's wife Guan Xiaorou is virtuous and virtuous. She is both civil and military. She not only keeps the house in order, but when the husband was not in Jinchuan, bandits caused trouble in Jinchuan. Sister Xiaorou even took the initiative to wear armor and go into battle to resist the bandits.
She is truly a model for me as a well-off woman. I ask my father to accept Sister Xiaorou as my adopted daughter!"
"The war has not ended yet, so this matter will be discussed later."
Chen Ji glared at the Ninth Princess and said perfunctorily.
He just guessed that the Ninth Princess might say this, so he decided to play it off first, change the story, and then talk about the Ninth Princess in private.
But who knew that the Ninth Princess would not give him a chance to delay, and said again: "Father, the Eastern Barbarians have surrendered, and the war has ended. If we don't reward the heroes, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Jin Feng opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the Ninth Princess stopped him with his eyes.
The civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a little confused at first, but when they saw the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng's eyebrows flashing back and forth, they showed signs of surprise one after another.
The people in the court are all human beings. It would be strange if we can't see that there is something wrong with Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess at this time.
Jin Feng was quite famous in the capital, and almost all the courtiers knew that he was married and had a wife and a concubine.
The story between him and Tang Xiaobei was widely circulated in the capital and was regarded as a favorite story by countless brothel girls.
If Jin Feng wants to marry the Ninth Princess, he must divorce Guan Xiaorou and Tang Xiaobei.
Now the Ninth Princess took the initiative to ask the emperor to accept Jin Feng's wife as his adopted daughter. She made it clear that she wanted to marry Jin Feng and did not want to make it difficult for Jin Feng to divorce his wife.
After all, the emperor's adopted daughter is also a princess.
"What a role model for our generation!"
Many dignitaries looked at Jin Feng with a hint of admiration.
There are many marriages between the royal family and the powerful. Most of Chen Ji's sisters married into powerful families.
In other words, there were many princes-in-law among the civil and military officials present.
It sounds like a prince-in-law is very majestic, but in the feudal era, wealthy businessmen had many wives and concubines, but they only had one wife, and only they knew the grievances they felt.
Fortunately, most princesses know this well and turn a blind eye to their men having extramarital affairs.
But that's all. If I want to take people home, there is no way.
Of course, there are some princesses with perverse personalities who cannot tolerate sand in their eyes.
Their prince-in-law was very sad. Maybe one day he would go to the outer room and find that it was already cold...
The princess herself took the initiative to become a small child. This was definitely the first time since the founding of Dakang.
And she is also the most outstanding princess of the day!
One can imagine the admiration of the consorts present for Jin Feng at this time.
What they had always dreamed of was accomplished by Jin Feng!
Just now we were talking about recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became a little more subtle.
All the civil and military officials looked at Chen Ji secretly, waiting for his answer.
The fire of gossip in the eyes of many people is simply uncontrollable.
Chen Ji wanted to curse at this moment.
However, given Jin Feng's meritorious service, the Ninth Princess's request was reasonable and not excessive at all. Chen Ji really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
What's more, the Ninth Princess also winked at him frequently.
In the past two days, Chen Ji had been scolded by the Ninth Princess frequently. At this moment, Chen Ji felt a little frightened when he saw the Ninth Princess staring.
Seeing that the eyes of the Ninth Princess were getting sharper and fiercer, she had to reluctantly nod her head: "Then according to what Wuyang said, I will issue an order on a certain day to close... the lock..."
"Guan Xiaorou!" Ninth Princess reminded her quickly.
"I will choose a day to issue an edict to adopt Guan Xiaorou as my adopted daughter to show her virtuous and virtuous character."
Chen Ji said perfunctorily while scolding the Ninth Princess in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Now that things have come to this, Jin Feng can only thank him.
He raised his head and glanced at Ninth Princess, feeling that he owed her even more.
The Ninth Princess smiled at Jin Feng and shook her head gently.
Chen Ji was disturbed by this incident and lost all interest. When he saw that Zuo Xiaowei had begun to cross the river and that the situation in the northern war had been decided, he prepared to take people back to the palace.
But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by the Ninth Princess.
"Father, please wait until the imperial army returns to the city before you return to the palace."
At this time, the imperial army was still on the north bank, and the capital's defenses were empty.
There is some distance between the Beicheng Tower and the palace, and the number of bodyguards and red armor troops present is limited. If they are ambushed by the remnants of the prince on the way back to the palace, they will be passive.
The emperor also wanted to understand this, so he did not force it, but asked the eunuch to drive away the Red Armor Army from the nearby watchtower, and then called the Ninth Princess in.
As soon as he entered the door, he pointed at Princess Ninth's forehead and cursed: "You silly girl, what kind of ecstasy was poured into your mouth by that boy Jin Feng? You are helping him speak like this!"
