After telling the story exactly, Xiao Junxi smiled and said, "After that, I will pick you up. As for my father's final decision, I really don't know."
As the carriage rumbled, Xie Ruzhuo nestled in Xiao Junxi's arms. After listening to what he said, he opened his eyes, looked up at him and said, "In your opinion, what would my father do?"
Xiao Junxi shook her head and smiled, "I'm not a tapeworm in my father's belly, how could I know? But I think that although my father said he was angry in his previous words, his expression did not look like he was angry, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with him. It’s a big deal.”
Xiao Junxi said, then lowered his head and scratched her nose, and said, "Fortunately, my father didn't go into details today, otherwise, you would have been walking around without delay."
After all, I am afraid that my beloved wife is involved in Xiao Xinning’s matter!
Xie Ruzhuo stuck out her tongue coquettishly and said with a smile, "If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up. With your husband here, what else do I have to be afraid of?"
I have to say that even though Xiao Junxi was helpless, these words made him extremely happy. He pinched her soft cheeks and said dotingly, "You!"
At noon, Emperor Jing went to Concubine Ye.
Previously, because Xie Ruzhuo was there, the palace attendants were unable to report the news. After Xie Ruzhuo and his wife left, the palace attendants immediately told Concubine Ye about what happened in the imperial study, and Concubine Ye was immediately shocked.
When Emperor Jing went to Concubine Ye, as soon as he entered the door, he was surprised and said, "My dear concubine, what are you doing?"
Concubine Ye was dressed in plain palace clothes, and all the hair accessories on her head were removed. She knelt on the ground with a solemn expression and said, "I apologize to the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing knew that Concubine Ye might have understood what was going on, so he helped her up and said, "What's your fault?"
Concubine Ye looked directly at Emperor Jing and said, "I did not teach my daughter well, which caused her to do such an immoral thing, which brought disgrace to the Heavenly Family. Therefore, I asked you to demote yourself to the rank of concubine, and also asked the emperor to Complete."
Hearing this, Emperor Jing patted her hand and said warmly, "Okay, what's not a crime? Don't you know what kind of temper our Ning'er has? That girl is just crazy on her own. Besides, even if she is really I made a mistake, and I am not confused, so how can I blame you?"
Concubine Ye frowned and said, "Ning'er is too ridiculous today. The emperor must not indulge her temper in this matter."
However, Emperor Jing smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion on this matter." At this point, he smiled and sighed again, "I originally thought that Li Jie was just a piece of wood, but now it seems that he has some So brave. It would be fine if he was a normal person, but it would be a pity."
At the end of the sentence, Emperor Jing sighed a little.
Xiao Xinning was not too young, but he had learned from Princess Yuelin's mistakes. Emperor Jing would not allow his daughter to be wronged no matter what. Therefore, he has been in a state of laissez-faire regarding Xiao Xinning's marriage.
But Emperor Jing didn't expect that his daughter would give him such a big surprise when he came up, which really shocked and amazed him.
Seeing Emperor Jing's appearance, Concubine Ye couldn't help but feel relieved. It seems that the emperor is not angry. Could it be said that he approves of this marriage
She knew the rumors about the Yue Kingdom. As a mother, she was not willing to let her daughter marry far away, especially since the monarch of the Yue Kingdom still had some problems with his character.
But marrying a cripple was indeed not what she wanted to see.
Concubine Ye Guifei was entangled in her heart. Emperor Jing was not like this. The two of them ate quietly, and Emperor Jing finally said, "Let Ning'er stay with you these two days. If you have nothing to do, don't go out."
Concubine Ye nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
After Emperor Jing left, she immediately sent someone to take Xiao Xinning to her.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't know what happened in the palace, but a few days later, he heard rumors in the capital that the envoy from Yue State was drunk and molesting women from good families. When Emperor Jing learned about this, he suddenly In anger, he beat the people out of the capital.
There was an uproar in the government and the public. Most of them accused the envoy of improper behavior. Some courtiers even wrote a letter, saying, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Having such an envoy shows how virtuous the king is."
Some people also think of the previous king of Yue who came to seek marriage but failed, and then fought after he ascended the throne. So he advised the emperor, "The Yue Kingdom is so ambitious that even a marriage will only ruin the life of the princess. How can we let a woman maintain peace in our vast country? What's the use of these strong-willed men?"
Suddenly, the government and the opposition were extremely single-minded and vowed to fight the Yue Kingdom.
Emperor Jing was satisfied with the effect, and then thought of Li Jie in prison, so he called him to the imperial study room to free him.
Li Jie spent these days in the prison and had no idea what was happening outside.
Seeing his unshaven appearance, Emperor Jing felt a burst of joy for no reason, and asked deliberately, "I agree to Yue's request for marriage. As for you, since you have contributed to the country, I will forget about it."
Li Jie was immediately shocked and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"
Emperor Jing deliberately asked, "Why not? Since the Seventh Princess is the daughter of the Heavenly Family, she should fulfill her obligations."
Li Jie solemnly said, "Your Majesty, I only know that a man should protect his parents and children, and the same goes for the country. The Yue Kingdom's intention is to seek peace, but it is also a temporary delaying tactic. When it can integrate the army and make a comeback, The fate of the Seventh Princess is evident! Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
Hearing this, Emperor Jing snorted and said, "You are a civil servant, what do you know?"
Li Jie said sternly, "Although I am a civil servant, I also know that a man should be wrapped in horse leather instead of relying on a woman to enjoy a moment of peace!"
"Are you accusing me?"
Emperor Jing stood up to attack the case, but saw that Li Jie did not dodge, and only said, "I only know that as a king, you should stand upright and kill decisively. The Yue Kingdom is going to fight, are all the men in our dynasty cowards?" Sure? Why do you need to destroy a weak woman just to maintain temporary peace?"
Emperor Jing was furious and said, "Believe it or not, I will drag you out and kill you right now!"
"I will die for my country and die without regrets!"
Hearing this, Emperor Jing strode towards him with an angry look on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Jie, do you know the consequences of your words?"
"Wei Chen remonstrates with death!"
As soon as Li Jie said these four words, he immediately knelt in front of Emperor Jing, looking up at him unyieldingly.
"What a damning advice, but I don't agree with it!"
After Emperor Jing said this, he turned around and called to the eunuch on the side, loudly saying, "It is my decree that Li Jie deceives you and ignores your superiors. He will be removed from all his posts and demoted to a commoner!"
When he said this, he saw the look of no regrets on Li Jie's face, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he continued, "Seventh Princess Xiao Xinning is arrogant and willful. She is betrothed to Li Jie and is not allowed to divorce her in her life. I ordered you to choose a mansion. Choose a day to get married!”
Li Jie looked at death with a look on his face at first, but after hearing the next words, the expression on his face cracked.
After hearing the last sentence, Li Jie's eyes widened and his mouth grew wider. He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't say a word. That look was as funny as he wanted.
Emperor Jing felt happy when he saw him like this. He started arguing with him and was speechless in the end.
"What are you looking at? You haven't accepted the order to thank me!"
Hearing this, Li Jie came back to his senses, but his eyes were full of joy and he said incoherently, "I, I, thank you, your Majesty, no, I, the common people, thank you for your kindness! I, I—"
He was so happy that for a moment he suspected that he was dreaming, and bit his arm hard. Then he grinned in pain and wanted to laugh and scream in pain. He looked extremely stupid. .
However, Li Jie finally realized that he was not dreaming, and kowtowed happily, "The common people thank your emperor for your support. Long live my emperor!"
This news soon spread throughout the streets and alleys. Xie Ruzhuo was drinking anti-fetal medicine when he learned about it. Hearing this, he became happy and said with a smile, "But are you serious?"
Now Xiao Xinning has finally got his wish.
Hong Rui on the side said with a smile, "Back to Princess, it's spread all over the capital now, and the storyteller has made up many jokes. Some say that our emperor is a saint, and some say that talented men and beautiful women will eventually get married, but Look, maidservant Yinu, they are holding on until the clouds open and the moon shines."
Hearing this, Qianbi on the side suddenly joked, "Princess, our Hongrui is in a hurry. Do you want to give an order now so that Hongrui will also be happy and happy until the clouds clear and the moon shines?" "
Xie Ruzhuo laughed and said jokingly, "I think it's okay."
Hong Rui was originally talking about someone else, but when the topic suddenly turned to herself, she immediately blushed and said, "Princess, why are you so bad? You are so good at talking about what slaves are doing!"
Xie Ruzhuo thought seriously and said, "The old ghost said at the beginning that he would get married when he came back from the border. However, he has not been back for a short time now, but I have not let him go. They say that girls are not allowed to stay. Staying and staying will lead to sorrow. Now it seems that these words are not false at all. "
Suddenly, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Hongrui's face turned red at their teasing. She stamped her feet and said, "I will go to the dining room to see if the crab crystal bun is ready to be steamed."
Seeing Hong Rui run away in a flash, Xie Ruzhuo laughed a few times and sighed involuntarily, "That's great."
It was still cloudy a few days ago, but within a few days, it turned into clear skies. How could it not make people feel better
It was Jiang Zhu who was the first to recover from the joy, walked up to Xie Ruzhuo, picked up the medicine bowl she had put down before, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that the princess is happy, but we can't forget that this medicine is the real thing. The potency of the medicine will be greatly reduced when it cools down, so Princess, you’d better drink it quickly.”
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's face suddenly fell and he said, "Can you not drink it?"
She had just been bad-mouthed a few days ago and had a few words against Wen Ruyu, but the guy actually took revenge on her and wrote out the prescription for the miscarriage medicine, which made her grin in pain.
But this time Xiao Junxi also formed a front with Wen Ruyu. Hearing that the medicine would help in childbirth after September, he forced her to drink it every day. No matter how coquettishly she acted, it was of no use.
Now seeing Jiang Zhu bring the medicine bowl over, Xie Ruzhuo immediately sighed, but had no choice but to take it, pinch his nose, and drink the medicine in one go.
When Xiao Junxi came in, she saw this scene. He raised a fond smile, walked to Xie Ruzhuo, put the medicine bowl aside himself, pinched another candied fruit and fed it to her mouth, saying softly, "It won't be bitter in a while."
