Husband, please lend me your virtues

In the Yan Dynasty, girls started to get married when they reached the age of 15 or 16.

Nowadays, it is not good for women to have children rashly when they are still students and their bodies are not fully grown.

If he was in good health, after he married Xie Zijin, he delayed Xie Zijin's giving birth to children, and Xie Zijin was the only one to bear the pressure.

Another thing is that he and Xie Zijin want to be a true couple for life, and no third person can come between them.

Under imperial power, especially in the most feudal Yan Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to achieve this.

However, he had no ability to overthrow the dynasty and was unwilling to be emperor, so he could only settle for the second best and slander himself in exchange for peace for the two of them.

Even if the elders in the palace wanted to send someone to his side, he could refuse on the grounds that he was infertile, so Xie Zijin would not have to face it alone.

When Ruan Yuanshi was dragged away by the guards, although he looked embarrassed, he was indeed a good man. When he confessed and was brought before the emperor, his official robe was covered with blood.

As he was dragged up, the ground was stained with his blood, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Upon hearing Ruan Yuanshi's testimony that it was Concubine Meng who did it, Emperor Zhengde immediately ordered the eunuchs and maids to search the Lingxiao Palace where Concubine Meng was.

Even the main concubine of Lingxiao Palace had her residence searched, and as expected, poison was found in the west side hall of Concubine Meng.

Mengpin was immediately ordered to be beaten to death. Even though nothing suspicious was found in the main hall where Shufei lived, her title was still taken away and she was confined to Lingxiao Palace for half a year.

The reason was that after being demoted, Concubine Meng did not discipline the young concubines in her palace strictly, and was suspected of negligence, allowing Concubine Meng to do such a hateful thing.

Except for this incident when he just returned to the palace, Wu Wangjin acted like a simple-minded and strong-limbed prince in the palace.

Wu Wangjin found an opportunity to leave the palace and came to Xie's house. He dismissed the eunuchs and guards who followed him and came to Xie Zijin's yard.

"Zijin, do you miss me? I brought you some cakes from the imperial kitchen that you've been longing for, as well as some shiny stones."

Wu Wangjin placed the food box on the stone table in the courtyard like he was presenting a treasure. He then took off his purse and poured out a lot of gems, including rubies as red as fire and malachites as green as bamboo...

Wu Wangjin felt that Xie Zijin was worthy of being brought up by him, and that he inherited his love for shiny gems.

"Wow! Of course I miss Brother Wangjin. Zijin was very worried after the accident you had in the palace."

Worried that you had died in the palace and her mission had failed, Xie Zijin almost used her spiritual power to sneak into the palace at night.

Fortunately, before evening, news came that the eldest prince was fine. But how come this man didn't seem to be seriously poisoned as the rumors said, and it would be difficult for him to have children in the future?

However, Xie Zijin used his spiritual power to probe Wu Wangjin's entire body and found no hidden injuries on his body. He looked full of energy, completely unlike the rumors.

"Brother Wangjin, I heard that the queen in the palace drugged you. Will you not be able to have your own children in the future?"

Xie Zijin pretended not to know the man's true situation and looked at Wu Wangjin with pity.

Wu Wangjin's face immediately turned dark, and he gritted his teeth, "Nonsense, it's just a little difficult, the imperial physician never said that I can't have children."

Upon hearing the news that the eldest prince was coming to the Xie family, Uncle Xie and Grandma Xie rushed to Wu Wangjin, and happened to hear Wu Wangjin's words.

The two of them murmured in their hearts that the imperial physician was only afraid to make a rash conclusion that the eldest prince could not have children due to the emperor's majesty.

In fact, everyone in the capital knew that the eldest prince had been injured by Concubine Meng in the palace and was unable to have children.

I don’t know which girl will be so pitiful as to marry the eldest prince and never become a mother in her life.

After Uncle Xie and Grandma Xie paid their respects to Wu Wangjin, they tactfully withdrew, leaving Wu Wangjin and Xie Zijin alone to strengthen their sibling relationship.

So that Xie Zijin, who has just reached the age of 15, can find a good husband with the help of the eldest prince.

Wu Wangjin was not like the eldest prince in history, who was always jumping around and striving for advancement, just to gain the appreciation of his father and surpass the crown prince.

In his free time, he always wanted to run out of the palace to meet Xie Zijin in the Xie Mansion, which made his other younger brothers jealous. They were listening to the lectures of the Confucian scholars in the upper study room, while his eldest brother was enjoying himself outside the palace.

It happened that Wu Wangjin, who had left the palace, did not forget Concubine Liu and Emperor Zhengde in the palace. Whenever he came across rare items, he would bring some to them.

Both of them turned a blind eye to Wu Wangjin's frequent absences from the palace, and would allow it as long as Wu Wangjin could come up with a decent reason.

He had a neutral relationship with his younger brothers, except for the third prince.

According to the casual chat between Wu Wangjin and Xie Zijin, although his third brother appears cold and indifferent to everything, he values ​​family affection the most.

He had only helped the Third Prince once when he had just returned to the palace, and the Third Prince had kept it in mind.

When Wu Wangjin was murdered by the Third Prince's aunt, Concubine Meng, the Third Prince felt full of guilt towards Wu Wangjin and obeyed Wu Wangjin's every word.

Knowing that Wu Wangjin had great martial arts skills but only liked to stay at home, the Third Prince racked his brains to find a way to help this elder brother who was only one year older than him.

In recent years, Wu Wangjin practiced martial arts without missing a single day, and he would skip all other classes whenever possible.

He practiced martial arts only to give him and Xie Zijin a good future, so that they could be awarded a title based on their military achievements and set up their own residence outside the palace as soon as possible.

As for why he was so sure that Xie Zijin would marry him, it was because of the role he had played over the years. Because of the bowl of soup at the palace banquet, no maid could get close to him.

The only people who could get close to him were his biological mother, Concubine Liu, Madam Xie who took care of him and raised him in the Xie Mansion, and his childhood sweetheart Xie Zijin.

According to reliable sources, Emperor Zhengde had already considered arranging a marriage between him and Xie Zijin.

Emperor Zhengde felt that if it were not for his negligence, his eldest son would not have been traumatized by that palace banquet and Concubine Meng's viciousness and refused to contact other women.

In recent years, the eldest son would go to Xie Mansion whenever he left the palace, and he would bring a lot of things to the little girls in Xie Mansion. He would even take a box of fresh cakes developed by the imperial kitchen and send them to the Xie family.

As the eldest son, after visiting Madam Xie at the Xie Mansion, he stayed with the little girl of the Xie family and took the little girl with him whenever he went to the market.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts and had feelings for each other. It was a blessing for them to become husband and wife. Moreover, his eldest son had these unspeakable illnesses and it was difficult for him to have children. There was no one more suitable to be his eldest son's wife than this girl.

At this time, Emperor Zhengde was very satisfied with the crown prince whom he had brought up. He did not have the guard and suspicion that he had later. Naturally, he treated his other sons, except the crown prince, as his ministers.

Instead of treating the eldest prince as a whetstone for the crown prince in history, when he reached middle age, he would unconsciously promote other princes to compete with the crown prince.
