Emperor's Trophy

The polo match finally ended with the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment for Zhu Jiang.All the horse racers, including Ji Huaiqing, agreed that it was Mr. Ji Huaiqing who accidentally hit Mr. Zhu's ankle when he hit the ball, which caused him to be injured and fell off the horse.

Although Mr. Huaiqing was only injured by accident, he was still very guilty. He specially sent a housekeeper to Dingguo's mansion, and sent a thick and expensive gift to visit him. He begged not to blame him for his accidental injury.

Duke Ding was overwhelmed, and hastily stated repeatedly that his grandson was careless, and Mr. Huaiqing was really kind and forgiving, and he burst into tears of gratitude.

"I want to know that Ji Huaiqing's mind is smaller than the tip of a needle, so I won't play! My grandfather was furious and asked me to copy scriptures every day even if I was recuperating! He said he wanted to kill my impetuous temper!" Zhu Jiang lay on the stage with a mournful face. On the bed, he was knocked off the horse with a cane by Ji Huaiqing, and he was scolded by his grandfather and father after returning home. Now he is listless and his intestines are green with regret.

Yun Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at his ankle carefully: "What did the imperial doctor say? Will it affect walking in the future?"

"Fortunately, it should be just a broken bone. It's good to give birth. After a hundred days, you should be able to walk without hindrance. You just need to take good care of it and don't use your legs too much. Aww! If you keep copying the scriptures like this for three months, it's better to let me die Forget it!" Zhu Jiang cried like a wolf, hugging Yunzhen and crying.

Yun Zhen knew that this pair of active and playful Zhu Jiang was really embarrassing, not to mention that this time, most likely because he was too ostentatious, he killed Ji Huaiqing several times. Zhu Jiang by her side.

Yun Zhen patted Zhu Jiang on the shoulder: "I'll ask someone to bring you some fun things to play with." Zhu Jiang rubbed his face against Yun Zhen's clothes: "I'm so bored...you come to accompany me when you're free." Me! Grandpa will definitely not let me copy the scriptures when you come! Good brother, good auspicious son, you must save me! You are the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering!"

Yun Zhen couldn't laugh or cry: "What Bodhisattva! I'm a man! Well, I'll come to accompany you when I'm free..." He suddenly stopped talking because he saw a woman in white lift the curtain and hold a tray in her hand Just as he was about to come in, he yelled in panic when he saw a foreigner, his face flushed immediately, and he backed out in a panic.

This is the true female Bodhisattva!Yun Zhen pushed Zhu Jiang away with a sullen face. Zhu Jiang looked up and saw the woman in white retreating, and said with a smile: "It's my mother's distant cousin. My mother asked her to take care of me these days, Xiaomen It’s a small family, usually they don’t leave the door, so they probably panic when they see you.”

Yun Zhen didn't speak, but suddenly felt a little dull, couldn't help it, and sneered: "The Duke's Mansion is such a big mansion, and there are so many servants, it's really eye-opening to let Miss Biao do the maid's work. "

Zhu Jiang froze, turned her head and said, "Mom probably thinks that the girls are not dedicated enough—are you complaining for my cousin?"

She deserves it too?Yun Zhen thought of the age of the eldest son who appeared suddenly, and the cousin of the Liu family who was kneeling and begging, sneered, and calculated the age of the child, could it be that it is already at this time...

Yun Zhen didn't bother anymore, just put the things he brought on the table: "There are still some things in the house, you take care of your wounds, I'll go back first."

He lifted the curtain and went out, and saw that "Sister Ying" was still waiting outside, followed by the big girls in Zhu Jiang's room called Bixi and Qingyu, who all recognized Yun Zhen, and saluted Yun Zhen in unison: " I've seen Lord Hou!"

Liu Ying quickly bowed her knees and saluted.

Yun Zhen glanced at her, suppressed the disgust in his heart, strode out without saying a word, and a cold teak fragrance swept over his body.

Liu Ying raised her head slightly in a daze, Qingyu lifted the curtain, saw her in a daze and smiled, "Miss Biao?"

Liu Ying said: "Just now that was—Marquis Zhaoxin? The one who was good friends with my cousin?"

Qingyu smiled and said: "Exactly, Zhao Xinhou used to come to our house often when he was a child, but he kept his filial piety for many years and didn't come. When I saw it today, I almost didn't dare to admit it."

Liu Ying was stunned and said: "Such nobleness...doesn't it mean that the eldest princess was born as a gangster?" Look at the jade and beads on the clothes, the luster of the clothes is smooth, the fragrance is clear and good, the youthful and luxurious temperament is like pearls and jade, just teach me People are ashamed of themselves on one side.

A trace of disdain flashed in Tourmaline's eyes: "Miss Biao, this is the Duke's Mansion, and that is Zhaoxinhou, who was conferred by the imperial court, and the son of the eldest princess who has been officially conferred by the imperial court. You can call your majesty uncle, if not Our son has been on good terms with Lord Hou since he was a child. When Lord Zhaoxin came to our house, the Lord should come out to entertain guests. Where is it our turn to speak up? Isn’t Gaozu also a straw sandal maker? Heroes don’t matter where they come from, those villages Wild gossip, gossip, it's better not to bring it out to bring trouble to the young master."

Liu Ying blushed, "It's my aunt who said..." She suddenly realized that she couldn't say that, and quickly said, "I see, thank you sister for teaching me, I won't dare next time."

Liu Ying went in with the tray, while Zhu Jiang was still lying on the bed in a daze. Seeing Liu Ying coming in with the medicine, she felt a little uncomfortable: "Leave it, cousin, just let Tourmaline and the others come."

Liu Ying smiled shyly: "My aunt said that your feet must be healthy."

Zhu Jiang said: "Let's put it aside, just now Zhaoxin Hou stabbed me a few words when he saw it, and he said that it is true, my cousin is a guest from afar, there is no reason to treat guests like this, I will talk to my mother later, it is all my mother's fault Inconsiderate."

Liu Ying was startled: "Marquis Zhaoxin?"

Tourmaline glanced at her, Lisuo took the medicine bowl and brought it to the bedside, and said to Zhu Jiang with a smile: "It's strange that Hou Zhaoxin just looked at Miss Biao at the door, I heard that Hou Zhaoxin saved disaster with one arrow, I think it's a way out Seeing a chivalrous person who draws his sword to help injustice, the young master spends every day with Zhao Xinhou, so he should have acquired some chivalry, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying's face flushed red.

Zhu Jiang was taken aback, then turned her head to look at Liu Ying carefully, he always knew that his cousin looked decent, but now she was dressed in a moon white plain shirt, her brows were shy, and Xia Fei's dimples made her look even more charming.

So Yun Zhen did leave after seeing Cousin Ying coming in. Could it be that Brother Zhen felt sorry for Cousin Ying when he saw how pitiful Cousin Ying was?Zhu Jiang felt very uncomfortable now, she just felt that Brother Zhen was not kind, for an outsider, they have been brothers for many years.

Zhu Jiang took the medicine bowl from Bixi, drank it in one gulp, and said: "Qingyu, you can go talk to your wife later, just say what I say. My cousin is getting older now, and she is a guest, and she still has filial piety. Here I am. Brothers, cousins ​​and other outsiders from the daily family also come in a lot, and it’s not good to bump into them from time to time. Zhao Xinhou also said that he would come to see me often. Now my foot injury is actually not a big problem, so I don’t need to bother my cousin to come and take care of me. .”

Qingyu quickly squatted down and replied: "Yes."

Liu Ying's face turned pale again when she heard this, but she was always cowardly, and she came out of a small family, so she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to go back with shame.

Seeing her leave, Bixi laughed: "Young master now looks like a master, I just said, if you want to serve the young master, Qingyu and I have served you since we were young, why are you not as good as people now?"

Qingyu sighed: "Forget it, young master is getting older every day, you should change your mouth too, the wife's meaning is actually very clear, she just wants to kiss more and more."

Tourmaline smiled: "Although our son does not inherit the title, he is still a son of the Duke's Mansion, and now he is on good terms with Marquis Zhaoxin. Could it be that this marriage cannot be discussed with a lady from a famous family? How could Miss Biao's family be possible in the Duke's Mansion?" Will you be hired as the head lady? You have to be a concubine, but if you want to be a petty lady, and the head lady has not come yet, she first takes her own cousin as a concubine. come over?"

Qingyu glanced at Zhu Jiang, and knew that it was not appropriate to say it at this time, but she was also afraid that her young master would be fooled and be manipulated by that stupid mother-in-law. She has served the young master for many years, and she is sincere. Don't you worry that the young master will really marry him? Such a Yue family who is completely useless to the young master?After thinking for a while, he sighed: "I think my wife is worried that a high-ranking lady will not be easy to control. After all, our wife has a soft temper..."

Tourmaline glanced at Zhu Jiang who seemed to be in a daze all the time, and laughed: "Sister, you are thinking too easily, but I think our wife knows it clearly, it may not be because of our young master, the wife is so strict about our young master's studies, On weekdays, whenever we wear flowers and red, our wife will slap us a few times, and on weekdays we will give you all kinds of advice, maybe we will seduce you so that your father will not want to study. If so, how can we suddenly send a cousin? Come and take care of me? It’s obvious that the drunken man’s intention is not to drink, but he knows that Marquis Zhaoxin will come to see the young master, so he’s just waiting for a rabbit here. We’re all young, and being the concubine of the Marquis’s mansion can kill two birds with one stone. Not only can we win over the Marquis’ mansion, but also our young master has a bright future. People take care of..."

Zhu Jiang suddenly raised her head, as if waking up from a dream: "Mother is confused!"

A smug smile flashed across the eyes of the tourmaline: "Master Hou is younger than the young master. It was when Mu Shaoai was young, and there was no elder in the family to call the shots... In my opinion, if it is true that Master Hou has taken a fancy to Biao Miss, it is an excellent help for the young master... They are all concubines, and the concubines of the Marquis Mansion can be regarded as having a good future, if you don't make a little match between the young master..."

Zhu Jiang suddenly exploded: "What kind of maggots are you chewing nonsense all day long! Master Hou is also the one you can point out here? Go down!"

The tourmaline was taken aback, her face was flushed, her tears fell, she was quickly dragged by Qingyu to laugh and retreated, Zhu Jiang panted heavily, a surge of breath rushed violently in her chest, and angrily threw the medicine cup onto the carpet On the ground, his chest heaved and heaved, but he didn't know why he was angry at all.

Is it because of his mother's self-assertion, or because Jixiang'er is too innocent, maybe he can really fall into the trap. If he really asks for this kind of favor with himself, the family will definitely wish to send his cousin there immediately in a small sedan chair. It's how to behave.

Zhu Jiang fell down, forgetting the pain in her leg, and was so angry that she couldn't sleep.
