The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao was angry, but he felt that Zong Zhen would come to apologize to him, and the Zong Zhen he knew couldn't be so bad.

When the two of them still had a knot in the past, Zong Zhen helped him kill He Qiniang to save his life!

Zongzhen is a little crazy, and he is still good to him. Calm down, he thought, maybe Zongzhen got up too early that day and got angry?He tried his best to help Zongzhen find a reason, but it's a pity that three days have passed, and Zongzhen still hasn't apologized to him!

Ji Zhao was truly and thoroughly angry at this moment.

However, no matter how angry he is, life will continue to go on.

He used the excuse that he was unwell and wanted to rest and could not meet people. He hid at home for three days, but could no longer hide and had to go out to "socialize".

Fortunately, the image of the son-in-law is a quiet and seldom socialized talent. There are not many people who need him to "socialize" in person. The first thing is to go to the grandfather's house. He arranged today and tomorrow, and then Today, he wants to go directly to ask His Majesty for a promise that he will live in Zhuangzi for a while, and he doesn't want to breathe the same air as that psychopath in the palace for a short time!

He also didn't sleep well at night, he sat in front of the dressing mirror in a state of desperation, Chen Xing helped him comb his hair, Yin Ming came to report, and the princess came.

Only then did Ji Zhao open his sleepy eyes: "The princess is here so early?"

It was just dawn, and he immediately asked Chen Xing to bring the princess over in person. He didn't bother to comb his hair, and let the hair loose. After waiting for a while, the princess came in. He thought that Princess Fuchen was in a bad mood again, thinking of The girl who cried so sadly last time still feels sympathetic. No matter what, the princess is only 19 years old. In his original era, she only went to college.

Seeing that Princess Fuchen looked fair, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked someone to serve her tea, then turned around and asked worriedly: "Princess came so early, what's the rush?"

Princess Fuchen reluctantly smiled at him: "My son-in-law understands me, I am indeed here on business, and I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

"You and I don't have to be so polite, just say it!"

"Last night, I had a nightmare. After waking up, I finally made it to dawn, and I came." Princess Fuchen's complexion darkened, and she began to tell him faintly, "Do you still remember, Pei Rong?"

Ji Zhao immediately nodded vigorously, of course he remembered, the one the princess likes!

Instead, his eyes shone brightly: "Have you thought about it clearly, do you want to find him?!"

Princess Fuchen smiled wryly: "Things may not be the same as what you think, some things I can't tell you, but yes, I want to find him. I, I want to ask him face to face, I want to hear He said it himself."

Princess Fuchen didn't know that the relationship between Ji Zhao and Zongzhen was not only completely different from her previous life, but even better than any imaginable situation. For more than two months, she had been restless all day long, worrying about herself. , it is more likely to spoil the good things of the elder brother.After Zongzhen went to Liangguo, Princess Fuchen secretly asked her guards to pay attention. As far as she knew, Pei Rong—if the killer that night was really him, he still hasn't been found.

Even when she came back from the temple later, she couldn't let go, and still blamed herself. Her brother went to Liangguo later, and Chen Keye followed him. Only the imperial guards were left to search alone. So far, it didn't work. Princess Fuchen guessed, Pei Rong should have escaped from Jinling long ago, after all, Pei Rong was able to sneak into Wen Xiang's mansion and kill Wen Guiren, with excellent skills.

She wants to find Pei Rong!

For my brother, but also for myself!

She is a princess, so of course she has the ability to send people to search for her, but such a thing can't stir up trouble. Pei Rong covered his face that night, maybe even his brother didn't know that he was Pei Rong.

Although the Yin family is a scholarly family, the business is also very large. There are people who do not like to study in the side branches of the family, and even in the direct branch. These people do business everywhere. There are shops of the Yin family in major cities and ports. The Yin family also has a well-known business name and bank. Princess Fuchen heard a few words from Wei's mother that even the son-in-law Ji Zhao also has real estate, shops, and contacts in many places. Ji Zhao is the most trusted and powerful person she can entrust. capable people.

She wanted to talk to Ji Zhao slowly in a few days, but she had a nightmare again last night, so she came here in a hurry in the morning.

She whispered, "I, can I ask you to help me find him."

Ji Zhao was stunned, and Princess Fuchen hurriedly said, "It's not convenient for me to send someone to look for it... I heard from Mama Wei that you have shops, staff, and money houses in many places, so I—"

Ji Zhao understood in seconds. After all, that Pei Rong was driven away by Zong Zhen. Of course, Princess Fuchen couldn't look for it with great fanfare. He was obviously embarrassed when he saw Princess Fuchen babbled, so he nodded again: "I see! You Don't worry! I'll help you find it! Do you have his portrait?"

Princess Fuchen was so moved that she almost cried, she kept thanking her, and Ji Zhao smiled and said, "Don't rush to thank me, give me the portrait first! Otherwise, how can I find it for you!"

Princess Fuchen never thought that she could get along with Ji Zhao like this.

She put away her sad face, nodded with a smile, and took out the portrait she had prepared a long time ago from her purse, and spread the folded paper in front of Ji Zhao. Of course, the portrait at this time cannot be compared with the photos of the previous era, but it may be a "lover" There is a beauty in the eyes", or this Pei Rong is really good-looking, the person in the painting is very handsome, with very special eyebrows and eyes, which are relatively easy to forget.

Ji Zhao looked at it and asked her: "Can I have my book boy Chenxing copy a few pictures? I won't show it to others. I will ask Yin Ming to take someone to deliver the portrait in person, and I will also arrange for someone who is suitable. You also know Yin Ming, my nanny, mother Wei's son."

Fu Chen nodded again and again: "I believe in you! You decide!"

Ji Zhao called Chen Xing in, and copied ten sheets in a row. Ji Zhao thought about it, and then asked, "Do you have any more important clues?"

"He told me before that he has always yearned for the mountains and rivers of Guizhou. I don't know whether this is true or not, but it is a clue. In addition, I once gave him a fan, which I made by myself. There are several precious stones on it. , and the word "祾" was engraved..." Princess Fuchen lowered her head and said in frustration, "He doesn't have any money on him, maybe he will become a..."

Seeing that she was so sad, Ji Zhao whispered, "Not necessarily, don't be sad."

Princess Fuchen smiled wryly: "I would rather he be the one. I want to find him, and I only have these clues. By the way, he knows martial arts, and his skills are very good."

Ji Zhao remembered it in his heart, and said, "However, princess, I can't guarantee that I can help you find him. The world is too big, and my manpower is limited after all."

"It's okay! I will also send my guards to find him as much as possible without attracting attention. I just want to find more ways! Even if we can't find him in the end, we will at least try our best. "

The two looked at each other and smiled, Chen Xing came in to help Ji Zhao comb his hair, he was going to his grandfather's house, Princess Fuchen simply went with him.

Since the Yin family lived in Jinling, Princess Fuchen often visited them. Even during the two months that Ji Zhao went to Liangguo, Princess Fuchen often came to visit her grandmother. She went there with Ji Zhao, and her family naturally welcomed her very much.

After playing at the grandfather's house for a day, the two went home after dinner.

Princess Fuchen heard that Ji Zhao would go to Ji's house tomorrow, so she asked, "Shall I go too?"

"No, you don't have to force it."

Fu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's not forced, I'm actually curious too, I heard that Ji's house is hundreds of years old."

That being the case, Ji Zhao simply went back to the Princess Mansion with Princess Fuchen at night.

When the two of them were sleeping at night, through the screen, Princess Fuchen mentioned Zongzhen and said worriedly: "I entered the palace yesterday, and my brother felt a little unwell and coughed again."

"..." Ji Zhao's heart immediately tugged.

"It's too cold, my brother still gets up early every day to practice martial arts and archery, alas—" Princess Fuchen faced the direction of the screen, "When my brother went to Liangguo with you, were you bored? Don't think that brother I don't care about you, my brother is just not talkative by nature, but my brother actually cares about you very much."

Ji Zhao pursed her lips. It was not what Princess Fuchen was worried about. They were so happy in Liangguo, but so what, it was over.Ji Zhao was about to ask about Zongzhen's cough, but he was very worried. Princess Fuchen started to say again: "I heard from Aunt Zhang that my brother is getting married. It's not a concubine or a side concubine, but a princess concubine."

"..." Ji Zhao opened his mouth slightly.

"Aunt Zhang is our mother's dowry maid, and now she is taking care of my brother in the East Palace. When I got married, my brother wanted her to accompany me out of the palace, but I think my brother is not healthy and needs Aunt Zhang more than I do. Aunt Zhang has already I've seen that girl quietly, and I'm also very curious. I wonder what my brother's future princess will look like? Aunt Zhang said to keep it a secret for now, but Aunt Zhang said that she is a very good girl." Princess Fuchen looked again In the direction where Ji Zhao was lying, "I know all the beautiful and well-mannered ladies in Jinling City. I'm really curious which one it is! My brother treats me so well, and I also want to treat his future princess well. Alas, I'm so worried." , I don’t know if the two of us can get along well, and my temper is not very good, I..."

Ji Zhao only felt that his whole body was a little stiff, which was inexplicable.

Princess Fuchen continued to say to herself: "Actually, I'm not used to it, because Aunt Zhang said that the girl is my brother's favorite. My brother likes her very much. After we get married, will it be okay?" Are you giving more attention to your future sister-in-law? Sigh, but this is also normal. I also hope that my brother can play harmoniously with his future sister-in-law. This is my greatest wish in this life... When my brother gets married , let's give brother a big gift? What should we give?"

Princess Fuchen talked for a long time, but she didn't hear Ji Zhao's words, so she called again tentatively: "Consort? Consort? Are you asleep..."

Gradually, Princess Fuchen stopped talking, and she really fell asleep.

There was a charcoal basin in the room, which was Princess Fuchen's bedroom. It was gorgeous and exquisite, fragrant and warm, but Ji Zhao felt very cold.

Under the gentle quilt, he stretched out his arms to hug himself tightly, and opened his eyes until dawn with a melancholy that he didn't understand.

That sentence is always in his mind, she is the girl Zong Zhen likes and likes very much.

Princess Fuchen was worried about the health of her elder brother in the palace, and sent people into the palace every day to deliver various herbal supplements, as well as the cakes she learned to make by herself.

Zongzhen came back from Yanfu Hall, temporarily ended his busy day, and could take a short rest. He sat behind the table and heard Baoqing say that the things Fuchen sent were all sent by his sister. He had seen them all, and nodded to show that he knew. I also tasted the pastries made by Kou Fuchen, which were really not very good, and ordered a few more things, and ordered them to deliver them to my sister tomorrow.

He casually asked, "What did the princess do today?"

"Uh—" Bao Qing didn't speak.

Zong Zhen paused for a moment and realized what it meant. Fu Chen was probably with Ji Zhao.Since Ji Zhao was angry that day, he ordered not to inquire about Ji Zhao's traces, and all those who followed Ji Zhao completely withdrew.Now that he is sure that Ji Zhao in this life will no longer be a threat, then let's just cut everything off.

However, what should be known, will still be known.

Zong Zhen's throat was a little itchy, and he couldn't help coughing a few more times. Bao Qing hurried over to help him pat his back, and handed him a cup of water boiled with loquat leaves. house?"

"That's right... It is reported that tomorrow, the princess will go to Ji's house with her son-in-law."

"Got it..." Zong Zhen waved his hands, "Let's all go down..."

After everyone had left, Zong Zhen took out another booklet from the pile of books on the side, and opened it up to read. These are his private treasury record books. He browsed quickly, intending to pick out some things, and give them to him after marriage. It is also a kind of dignity to give it to Wang Xi, which represents the honor bestowed on him as the prince.Things should be on the right track. The Wen and Yu families are now somewhat in decline. They have accumulated power for too long, and no one dares to step on them in a short period of time. When the supporters are at a loss, he should support him People are in charge.

Marry Wang Xi, support the Wang family, and bring Qin Wuniang into the palace at that time, the Qin family will also belong to him, and people will naturally flock to them at that time, and the forces will spontaneously form until they gradually defeat and swallow Wen, Yu and others. The power of the two families.

Both of these two families are capable, but because their power is still very weak, they have to rely on him to some extent. This is the courtier he needs most, and the power can exist. Without the courage and ability to lead a hundred officials, there is no way to stand behind him However, the imperial power must be greater than the prime minister's power.

With the imperial power firmly in his hands, he can continue to do well what he hadn't had time to do in his previous life, and He Qinghaiyan, whom he also wanted, will appear.With him now, the burden on the royal father has been reduced a lot. Seeing that the royal father is much more relaxed than in the previous life, he will definitely live longer than the previous life.

As for Fu Chen——

He originally wanted to find Pei Rong for her, because he couldn't find it for a long time, he even found Pei Rong's substitute, but seeing that she is so close to the son-in-law now, it seems that Pei Rong is no longer important.

Everything is so good, much better than in the previous life, and there are clues to Liangguo's affairs, and he has arranged everything that should be arranged.

Zongzhen thought about these things in his heart, and thought about what was missing, picked up a pen and began to draw circles on the booklet, and the circled ones were to be sent out. After a while, most of the things in a booklet were circled by him. He was still dissatisfied, and wanted to take a few more brochures to have a look, but these were too few.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, and he looked down.

Enamel crane vase, azure-glazed crabapple bowl [set], white-glazed and carved temple fairy pillow, three-color painting and gold-carved plum blossom holding jade rabbit screen...

Including the newly circled ones in my hand: Chang'e Flying to the Moon Scroll, Yangzhou Four Seasons Map, Luzhou Galaxy Scroll...

There is nothing that should be given to a woman.

Zongzhen was suddenly discouraged and let go of his hand. The booklet and pen fell on the table, and a lot of ink was splashed on the cuff.

These are Ji Zhao's favorite things.
