fleeting photos

The night is all together, the dark clouds finally pass away, and the bright moon hangs high.

For Xie Jin's remarks, Jiang Zhao didn't explain much, and didn't give her any comfort.

She always felt that what she said in words was limited after all, and she was also used to putting words before words. There were some things that she wanted to do for Xie Jin to see rather than tell them.

Three days of autumn hunting, fleeting.

From the day he returned to the palace, Xie Jin moved back to live in the main hall according to the agreement, and from then on, he and Jiang Zhao lived side by side.

At the same time, she also noticed that whether it was patrolling guards or eunuchs and maids in the Xihe Palace, a group of people had changed silently, and the atmosphere in the whole palace had obviously changed a lot. severe.

But Xie Jin didn't care about these, she herself was the same as before, she went to Qingyuan Hall to teach Jiang Han every day, left early and returned late, and only at night when she had dinner and fell asleep could she have a moment of tenderness with Jiang Zhao.

The couch under the window was removed, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally did not send a bed. The two shared the bed and slept in each other's arms, but they also restrained themselves and kept the etiquette. mean.

Just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Zhao ordered the three divisions to jointly re-examine the Xie family case and finally came to a conclusion. Wei Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, submitted a report to explain all the strange things in the physical evidence, witness statements, and closed case files many years ago. Presented in front of the emperor.

In the end, Jiang Zhao personally decided to close the case, concluding that Xie Yuzhe was innocent eight years ago, completely clearing up the grievances of the Xie family.

She ordered someone to announce to the world that she got rid of the Xie family's lowly status and became a good householder. In the name of seeking talents, she reappointed Xie Yuzhe as an official. Doctor, it's starting from scratch.

As for his son Xie Hui, he didn't know what talent he had, so he first gave him a idle job and arranged to be a judge in Dali Temple.

So the Xie family was directly transferred from a good civilian household to an official household. Although the official position is not high, people with a little wink can see that His Majesty has favored the Xie family. It is only a matter of time before Xie Yuzhe climbs up again. .

All of a sudden, the Xie family became famous and took root in the capital again.

Naturally, Xie Jin couldn't hear these things in the harem, and Jiang Zhao dictated them to her after the dust settled.

Jiang Zhao didn't mean to ask for credit. After all, from her point of view, these were atonements for the late emperor. Xie Yuzhe accepted her arrangement without any complaints, and was willing to serve as an official in the court, which already made Jiang Zhao very happy. Fortunately.

"I also plan to give your mother and sister-in-law each a commandment, but your father and brother have not arrived at the position yet, and you still need to find another excuse. I will think about it after the Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the past few days."

According to the ancestral system, on August [-]th, the family and the country are reunited, and the palace will entertain all the officials, which is an unavoidable feast.

Jiang Zhao came back with the notebooks in the evening and threw them all to Xie Jin. He held his chin in his hands to dodge, and told her about his plans. He really wanted to bring glory to the Xie family.

Xie Jin paused and raised his eyes to look at her, "I don't think it's right. The Xie family has just returned to the capital, and now it can be said that it is in full swing. If you show more grace, won't you make the Xie family a target of public criticism?"

"At the height of the sun?" Jiang Zhao shook his head with a smile. "Where is this? At least we must look up to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family must move. If there must be one in this dynasty, it must be the Xie family."

She put down her hand resting on her chin, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said in distress, "It's a pity that You'er is too young to take on any heavy responsibility, and your family has no collateral, so you can only make your father and brother work harder." gone."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Xie Jin put down his pen, got up and walked in front of her, and asked with a frown: "Is it possible, Your Majesty, that you want to turn the Xie family into the next Zhao family?"

Jiang Zhao raised his eyebrows, pulled her hand, and said with a light smile, "You don't have to be so nervous. Since I hate the Zhao family's power and tried my best to dismantle it, why would I want to destroy your mother's family?" How about becoming the second Zhao family?"

Seeing that Xie Jin was obviously a little relieved, Jiang Zhao pulled her into his arms with strength, put it next to her ear, and carefully broke up his thoughts and told her.

"What is the reason for Concubine Zhao to be arrogant and domineering in the harem?

Apart from being the concubine of the first emperor, isn't she just relying on the support of the former Zhao family? Could it be that it's really because I am filial to her? "

"But if I say it myself, I have never believed in the restraint of the front court and the harem. Concubine Zhao, once she entered the imperial gate, she is also a member of the royal family. No matter how long Zhao Heng's hand is, she can't reach the harem.

In the past, I indulged Concubine Zhao only because I wanted to accompany her to play a benevolent and filial king for the world to see. "

"But she is too conceited, and gradually she doesn't take me seriously, and dares to attack you. If I want to endure it any longer, then what's the point of this emperor's actions?

So whether it is Concubine Zhao or Zhao Hengze, after all, they must understand that since I can give the power they are proud of, I can naturally take it back. "

"But having said that, in the eyes of the world, this restraint is not without any merit."

As Jiang Zhao was talking, he stopped suddenly, and attracted Xie Jin who was listening seriously to look back at her, and asked as she thought: "And then? What's the point?"

"Talk too much, I'm thirsty." Jiang Zhao said seriously.

Xie Jin looked at the teacup placed on the table beside him, and was about to get up to serve her tea, but Jiang Zhao wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her even tighter, and pinched her chin with the other hand, forcing her to talk with her. Look at each other.

"Isn't Your Majesty thirsty?"

"I'm thirsty, but I'm thirsty to drink water, how about thirst?"

"Thirsty?"

Xie Jin was about to ask what kind of thirst she was, when Jiang Zhao raised her head and kissed her lips.

Xie Jin has long been used to some daily intimacy, but this time it is different from the previous ones. She obviously felt the hot breath of the person in front of her, and tentatively stretched out the tip of her tongue to touch her lips.

It was just this moment that Xie Jinru was thundered and completely collapsed into her arms.

Seeing that Xie Jin didn't refuse, Jiang Zhao became bolder, let go of the hand that was pinching her chin and hung down to interlock her fingers.

The deeper the kiss, the more they play with each other.

Not to mention Jiang Zhao, even in Xie Jin's 25 years, she has never had such an experience. She was kissed until her hands and feet became weak, and she couldn't use any strength in her waist, so she could only close her eye sockets In Jiang Zhao's arms, she let her be frivolous.

After kissing like this for a while, Jiang Zhao secretly raised his eyelids to look at Xie Jin's expression.

She saw the man's eyes closed tightly, his white and tender cheeks flushed, his long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, each time trembling at the tip of her heart, she couldn't help but hugged Xie Jin's waist again , clenched her hand even more.

At first it was a bit bumpy, but after that, it was obvious that Xie Jin was very familiar with her. Xie Jin was so entangled by her, so he kissed for a long time, until she was really struggling to breathe, and then turned her head away forcefully, causing Jiang Zhao's hot lips to fall. null.

The two breathed calmly, and after a while, Jiang Zhao was about to move again, and Xie Jin raised his hand to cover his mouth.

She glared at Jiang Zhao fiercely, but there was anger and shame in her moist eyes. The heat on her face had not completely cooled down, and it was three points more gorgeous than the Western Region rouge that Fanbang paid tribute to. A pair of soft and thin The lips were bullied even more, they were ruddy and slightly swollen, and there were even absurd marks on the corners of the lips and the jaw.

Jiang Zhao's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly had a little understanding of those licentious and stupid kings who had been cast aside in every possible way in the past.

She gently pulled Xie Jin's hand covering her mouth, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she said with a smile: "I haven't finished talking yet, you covered my mouth, do you want to communicate with your thoughts?"

The water in Xie Jin's eyes became brighter, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that mouths are used for talking?"

"Of course I know." Jiang Zhao was not shy, nor was he afraid of her shy glaring.

With a thicker skin, Xie Jin could only admit defeat, hurried out of her arms, and sat back behind the table, holding a vermilion pen but not writing, just to cover up his confusion.

And Jiang Zhao didn't dare to be good-looking when he got the advantage, for fear of really annoying her and making her sleepless, he changed the subject, picked up what he had just said, and said, "Although you don't want to be a queen, you still want to be a queen." Staying in the harem, of course I can protect you by myself, but when it comes to you, I don't want to be too conceited, and I am only afraid of some one-in-a-million mistakes."

Turning to the topic, Xie Jin had no time to be ashamed, and looked up at Jiang Zhao again.

"If the Zhao family is powerful, it will become the backing of Concubine Zhao, and if the Xie family is powerful, it will become your reliance."

Jiang Zhao sat on the chair with peaceful eyes, and he didn't mind showing her his thoughts at all, and even said bluntly: "This is not my favor for Xie's family, but for you to rely on."

No matter how upright Xie Yuzhe was, he was also a person to take the blame, and Xie's family was exiled to the frontier, and it was a case that was judged by the late emperor.

Jiang Zhao didn't have to run around for this, she didn't even need to know who Xie Yuzhe was, it wouldn't affect Chao Gang, let alone Wanmin, even if Xie Yuzhe died in a foreign land, it would be just a lonely grave and had nothing to do with her.

There is no shortage of officials like Xie Yuzhe in the world, but he is Xie Jin's father.

It was she who had been in the palace for eight years and never gave up her obsession to meet again.

So Jiang Zhao loved Wu Jiwu, helped him out of trouble, cleared his grievances, let him return to Beijing, and even reassigned his official title, allowing the Xie family to rise directly in the capital, from a humble family to a wealthy family again.

There is no such thing as the emperor's favor, it is obviously just Jiang Zhao's selfishness towards Xie Jin.

Just like what she said, if this dynasty had to have a family that was so prosperous that officials would shy away from it, it would only be Xie Jin's family, not Concubine Zhao's.

Jiang Zhao stood up and walked to Xie Jin, and because he was afraid that his plan would bring pressure to her again, he added another word of relief, saying in relief: "The Xie family has a simple staff, and there is an upright and honest person like your father in charge. I will not repeat the mistakes of the Zhao family.

And I have planned for a long time, at most another [-] years for the king. When Jiang Han grows up, the country will be entrusted to her. When the time comes, your father should also retire. I will let Jiang Han take over the power. As long as your brother can think Just pass. "

She has far-reaching plans, up to a hundred years, but she never thought of being a century-old emperor.

Since Xie Jin handled the memorial for her, she has understood a little bit about the situation in the court, so it's not that she doesn't understand everything Jiang Zhao said, and she can even think about it.

Jiang Zhao himself ascended the throne at the age of 16, so naturally he would not feel that the prince was too young to inherit the throne. The 20 years she said was only an approximate time limit. If Jiang Han could really ascend the throne at the age of 16, then it would not take 20 Year.

This number of years is enough for her to take charge of the government and speak well.

"Jin Niang, I still want to see the wonders of the south of Saibei that you mentioned."

"I will give Jiang Han a prosperous age. This is not only my confession to the late emperor, but also my confession to Han Xuan and the people of the world.

I will not be nostalgic for the throne, and I don't want to be locked in this cage for the rest of my life. When the time comes, when all the dust settles, I will take you out of the palace. Whether it is going to Saibei to drink or Jiangnan to enjoy flowers, nothing can stop us pace.

Even if you are gray-haired, as long as you want to go, I will take you there, okay? "

With a gentle voice, Jiang Zhao described the future with Xie Jin, and this description was so beautiful, how could Xie Jin not be moved.

She thought, the person in front of her was no longer just her poor little Ah Zhao, nor just an unattainable king.

This is a lover she can trust and rely on. When she thought she couldn't see any future, it turned out that her future had been drawn by Jiang Zhao himself, and it was so beautiful.

So she no longer wants to think about balancing the front and the harem, and going against the principles of human relations and nature.

She just nodded and responded softly: "Okay."
