Husband, please lend me your virtues

Xie Zijin didn't feel uncomfortable about this, as most of the villains in previous worlds were like this.

What's more, in feudal society, imperial power was above everything, so it was common sense that they chose to obey the orders of Wu Wangjin, a prince.

However, if any of them had any dissenting thoughts, even though her body was young now, her spiritual power would not change along with her body.

She even absorbed the spiritual beads that were lost in Bifang Mountain, and the spiritual power she could bring into the small world increased by half.

Although Minister Xie had his objections to this, thinking that although his granddaughter was young, she should not have close contact with men outside the family, the emperor knew about this and did not interfere. Instead, he let him follow the eldest prince's ideas.

How could a small minister like him go against the king? He had no choice but to stop paying attention to the situation in his granddaughter's courtyard.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Xie family that his eldest granddaughter has such close contact with the eldest prince.

Alas, when the princes grow up, there will be a bloody storm. The eldest prince is raised in their house, and the Xie family is bound to the eldest prince.

He didn't want his granddaughter to become the eldest prince's concubine in the future, so he completely tied the Xie family to the eldest prince's ship, and his granddaughter was trapped in the royal family for life.

She looks noble on the outside, but her honor and disgrace all depend on her husband. If she is not careful, she may not have a good ending.

Minister Xie had no objection to Wu Wangjin's closeness to Xie Zijin, and Madam Xie and others did not dare to say a word against Wu Wangjin.

He allowed Wu Wangjin to go in and out of Xie Zijin's room every day, and kept the news in the mansion secret, not allowing it to spread outside the mansion.

Even if the eldest prince and Xie Zijin grow up and the eldest prince no longer pays attention to Xie Zijin, her reputation can be preserved. If she cannot marry the eldest prince, she can still choose a good son-in-law from a wealthy family.

Xie Zijin and Wu Wangjin had been getting along like this until Wu Wangjin returned to the palace.

What's more, Wu Wangjin would be so anxious to share something with Xie Zijin that he would sneak past the eunuchs and guards and knock on Xie Zijin's window in the middle of the night.

After returning to the palace, the communication between them had become much less. Afraid that Wu Wangjin would suffer the same fate as in the plot, Xie Zijin still didn't feel safe even after putting his spiritual power into him.

Before Wu Wangjin left, she gave him a handkerchief on which she had embroidered a plum blossom to pass the time, and asked him to bring her some cakes from the imperial kitchen when he left the palace next time.

Let her see the cooking skills of the imperial chef in the palace. Wu Wangjin, who was unhappy because of separation, relaxed her brows after receiving the handkerchief.

He watched Xie Zijin embroider this handkerchief with his own eyes, and he never expected that she would be willing to give it to him.

This was the first thing that Xie Zijin had given him on his own initiative since he had asked for it. He gave it to him willingly, unlike the previous times when he had tried to take it away by force, when he was unwilling to give it to him.

Wu Wangjin was so jealous of the sight and touched by the pairs of plum blossoms on the embroidered handkerchief that he no longer resisted returning to the palace.

Instead, he racked his brains to get the emperor, whom he had never met, to grant them a marriage so that Xie Zijin could marry him as his principal wife and have a few more chubby babies, making others envious.

After thinking it through, Wu Wangjin no longer behaved as in the plot, returning to the palace with a sullen face, thus bringing bad luck to his father, the emperor. Not only was he disliked, but he also provoked the anger of his brothers, causing conflicts and finally committing suicide.

Instead, he was like a ten-year-old child who met his father for the first time, with an admiring expression on his face, and performed the great ceremony of monarch and subject to Emperor Zhengde of the Yan Dynasty.

After a conversation, Emperor Zhengde was quite satisfied with his eldest son. Now Emperor Zhengde was strong and healthy, in his prime, and he truly loved his sons, without the defensiveness he had in his old age.

Especially for the older sons, even if he did not love them as much as the crown prince left by Empress Yuan who had accompanied him as a young girl, he would still show his deep love for his sons and teach them hand in hand.

Compared with the three mediocre princes, the fifth, sixth and seventh, they are not as valued by the Emperor's father as their elder brothers, and are not as loved by their younger brothers as their immature brothers.

As long as he is not compared with the beloved crown prince who is held in the palm of the hand of Emperor Zhengde, the treatment of Wu Wangjin, the eldest prince, is already very good. The first title he received is the title of a prince. Other younger brothers do not have such treatment when they are first granted titles.

Wu Wangjin, who deliberately acted somewhat honest, acted like a loving father, testing his academic performance and asking about his food, clothing, housing and transportation in Xie's mansion.

Emperor Zhengde really liked this eldest son. Although he was not as good as the crown prince left by the deceased Empress Yuan, he was his first son to be ranked in order of seniority.

After the eldest son returned to the palace, the third son also returned to the palace soon. Emperor Zhengde frowned when he saw the skinny third son. He was also fostered in a minister's home.

How come the eldest son is so strong and sturdy, and looks like a good material for martial arts, but the third son looks skinny? Does the Zhou family have the courage to abuse their son?

The Zhou family shouldn't have the guts to do this. The nanny and eunuch he sent out to take care of the third son were not just for show. How could they not be reported to Datian?

Hearing the Third Prince's measured and polite answer, and the trust of the Zhou family whom he had promoted, Emperor Zhengde Wu ignored this point.

You missed the chance to learn the truth. It was not the Zhou family who abused your noble son, but the maids and eunuchs who came to the Zhou family with him. They relied on their status as royal family members and served the prince.

Not only was he rude to everyone in the Zhou family, he also did not allow the Zhou family members to approach the prince at will.

He even embezzled a lot of the Third Prince's things under the pretext of doing it for the good of the young master.

Even the three meals a day sent by the Zhou family were eaten by the Third Prince’s wet nurse and the chief eunuch, accounting for two-thirds of the cost. The prince lived a life worse than that of his wet nurse and eunuch.

The third prince's mother, Concubine Shu, did not care about this son who did not grow up with her.

Especially after she had the fourth and seventh princes in succession, she treated them as if she had no sons, unlike the imperial concubine who also had sons outside the palace and would send her sons rare gifts every now and then.

The Fourth Prince was dull by nature, so Concubine Shu devoted all her attention to her youngest son and paid little attention to the Fourth Prince, who was raised by her, let alone the Third Prince who was outside the palace.

Emperor Zhengde was busy with government affairs and had great trust in the wet nurse and eunuch he selected. As long as nothing was reported, he would not send guards to check on the condition of his two sons.

Thus, the third prince was fooled by his maids and eunuchs for many years.

However, Wu Wangjin noticed something was wrong. This third brother, who would defeat his younger brothers and successfully seize the throne in the future, had an imperceptible resentment towards his father who sat high on the dragon throne.

Thinking of the rumors in the unofficial history, when Emperor Hongwu was young, he was fostered in the home of a minister and was abused by the slaves who were transferred by Emperor Zhengde. After Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, he did not respect Emperor Zhengde, and the honorific title and sacrificial ceremony he gave him were not as good as those of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Duansu.

I'm afraid that unofficial history is not true. Wu Wangjin once saw a portrait of Emperor Hongwu in a museum. The inscription on it was painted by Zhang Ting for the third prince in the 16th year of Zhengde.

Now it is the fifteenth year of Zhengde, but one year later, the Hongwu Emperor in the portrait is not as thin as he is now, but rather a bit strong.
