In the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Mo Yuhou was still in charge of the six departments. With Prime Minister Xiao Tianyi and Empress Dowager Xiaoren on the top, and old ministers from the Xiao family on the bottom, Zhao Li's life is not too easy. It's just that he has a very good relationship with the queen, and he has formed an alliance with Yuzhen Kingdom, so the throne is still very stable.
Zhao Zhe has already settled down as the king of Changjun, so everyone in the Xiao family expressed their loyalty to the new emperor. Zhao Li was busy dealing with political affairs, so he naturally accommodated the Changjun King. It's just that he seemed to be particularly interested in Ning Yuxuan, and he often meddled with other family affairs. For example, Mo Yuhou handed over documents to the household department, wanting to make Liu Hanyun his wife, so he stopped him.
"Liu's status, why isn't it enough to be the main wife?" Zhao Li asked with a smile.
Ning Yuxuan sat on the side, thinking that he really deserves to be the Son of Heaven, he manages more leniently than the sky, and he is really a virtuous man with his father.
"I think Mrs. Liu is very suitable."
The new emperor was not happy: "In terms of the length of time to serve you, Qi Siling is also the longest, and his status can be called, so why is the Liu family suitable?"
Mo Yuhou smiled slightly: "The Qi family has made a mistake recently, and the minister is already writing a letter of divorce."
Zhao Li raised his eyebrows slightly and coughed lightly: "What crime did she commit?"
"To poison the son, if the minister did not show up in time, the son would have died." Ning Yuxuan said calmly: "The minister wrote the divorce letter because he took care of the Qi family. Otherwise, he should be sentenced to death directly."
Zhao Li stopped talking, it was family business after all. It's a pity that Qi Siling has been with him for so many years, and now he is probably about to be abolished.
"I heard that you have been in contact with Jingzhou recently." Changing the topic, the new emperor's eyes deepened: "What is there in Jingzhou that makes you so reluctant to let go?"
Ning Yuxuan paused slightly, and replied: "The Princess of Jingwenhou's Mansion is Yuxuan's cousin, she is pregnant, plus... so I will greet you more."
The new emperor smiled: "It's pitiful to think about it. I let them go, but they still didn't survive. Yuxuan, can you blame me?"
"How could it be?" Mo Yuhou lowered his head lightly: "I have no shortage of women."
The new emperor laughed and looked at him with admiration: "Yuxuan is really a material to make."
Mo Yuhou smiled lightly and remained silent.
When I left the palace, the willow trees on both sides of the road were already tender green. Ning Yuxuan watched, turned around and asked Gui Bai: "How is things going in Jingzhou? When will she be able to return to Beijing?"
Gui Bai lowered his head and said nothing.
"Huh?" Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you hear me asking you?"
"Master." Gui Bai hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Madam is gone."
The raised corners of his mouth slowly dropped, Ning Yuxuan stared at him blankly for a while: "What do you mean missing?"
Jingwenhou's mansion was already in chaos, Ji Man left without a sound, not leaving a single letter, but left the deed of Ji's shop to the lamp core.
Sitting in the empty room, Er Rong was very dazed, he had a good life, how could he disappear? Ning Mingjie next to him looked a little pale, and smiled with lowered eyes: "Did she go by herself?"
Deng Xin nodded with red eyes: "If he hadn't left by himself, the master would have no chance to leave everything in the servant's room."
Princess Kang Yuan stood beside Ning Mingjie, her face was still calm, no one would have thought that Ji Man's departure had something to do with her.
She didn't know Nie Sangyu, but she didn't like having other people around Ning Mingjie. If the woman is sensible, she will walk away obediently. If she still comes to pester her, she will send her away a second time.
Marquis Moyu suddenly became seriously ill. The emperor visited Marquis Moyu's mansion in person. Seeing his haggard face and coughing and wheezing, he gave him sick leave and allowed him to return to court after he recovered.
The heavy burden of the court fell on the shoulders of Prime Minister Xiao Tianyi for the time being.
A carriage was traveling towards Yong'an County at high speed. Halfway through the journey, the person in the carriage said that his stomach hurt, so he secretly changed the carriage in the post station and embarked on another road.
In the following year, no one found Ji Man again. Even though Ning Yuxuan pretended to be sick and went to Jingzhou secretly, he only found out that Ji Man's departure had something to do with Princess Kang Yuan, and the rest was unknown.
…
A year later, the vassal king came to Beijing to face the saint, and all the carriages galloped in one direction.
Sitting in a luxurious carriage, Ji Man sighed, "The carriage still shakes like a tractor."
The person sitting in the carriage snorted faintly: "You don't have to come this time."
Ji Man looked back at Zhao Zhe, cupped his hands and said, "My lord's words are wrong. Although I'm just a small staff member, I can hitch a ride and come to the capital to do business, right?"
Zhao Zhe pursed his lips and glanced at her: "You don't hold an official position just to sell your rice?"
After leaving Jingzhou, no one expected that Ji Man would seek refuge with the Changjun King. Dressed in men's clothes, with a family fortune of five hundred taels, he started selling rice at the entrance of the Changjun Prince's Mansion, hooked up with the Chief of the Prince's Mansion, and then got to know the staff in the mansion. Finally, because of his extraordinary conversation, he was recommended to the Changjun King as an aide.
Now thinking of the expression on Zhao Zhe's face that was punched in the stomach when he saw her, Ji Man still felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, everyone in the world thought she was dead, and those who knew she was not dead also thought she was missing, but she ran to the Changjun King and said, "Let me help you draw a beautiful blueprint for the future."
At that time Zhao Zhe actually asked someone to give her a pen and ink to draw, and Ji Man explained for a long time with the corners of his mouth twitching, before he understood that the blueprint was not a painting.
The Nie family is gone, and she is not a threat to Zhao Zhe now. On the contrary, Zhao Zhe once wanted to kill her because of her cleverness, but now her cleverness can be used by him, do you think Zhao Zhe can use it
Ji Man has been dressed in men's clothing for convenience, and bought a human skin mask from a folk craftsman at a high price, but it is quite troublesome to put it on and take it off. But the effect is also very good, except for Zhao Zhe who knows her identity, everyone else thinks she is a man.
Having said that, when he returns to Beijing this time, Ji Man really wants to sell rice.
She doesn't hold any official position now, and Chang County is a place rich in rice, so Ji Man is still doing business while giving Zhao Zhe some small ideas. When there is no big storm, there is no need for her to do anything, just sell rice happily . This time the vassal lord faced the saint, and she just happened to expand her business to the capital.
Although I also faintly wanted to see how Ning Yuxuan was doing during the year when she was not around. It would be too good to forget her completely, it would be too much.
"Do you need to stop at the gate of Marquis Moyu's mansion?" Zhao Zhe asked with a smile.
The carriage had already entered the capital, and some of the streets looked familiar. Ji Man sniffed, shook his head and said, "No, there will be a chance."
There will always be the most suitable day to meet.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn. As soon as Ji Man got down, he saw Shen Youqing who had arrived a step earlier.
"princess."
Shen Youqing accepted Ji Man's gift with a smile on his face, turned around and entered the inn. Ji Man thought she might be a little angry, because Changjun Wang would rather ride with a man than with her.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Man went to find his own room to put his luggage, and then went out to contact people from the Grain Bank Union in the capital.
Ning Yuxuan hugged and teased her, Xia Shi next to her was wearing a light green tulle skirt, her breasts were half exposed, she leaned beside him and said, "Look, Hou Ye, it really looks like you."
"En." Mo Yuhou sighed and said, "The child has grown up."
Mrs. Xia nodded, took his arm and rubbed it lightly: "It's a pity that it's not from the royal family. Now my wife is Mrs. Liu again, and her son is not the heir, I don't know how reconciled."
Keep your eyes open and look around blankly.
"The prince should be taken by the main room." Ning Yuxuan nodded.
Xia Shi was overjoyed, pinched her belt and said: "Then...it's been so long, why doesn't Lord Hou take a look at my concubine's body?"
"You are not as good-looking as his mother." Ning Yuxuan hugged her tightly and said seriously.
The smile froze on his face, Xia Shi paused for a long time before saying: "What did you say?"
"Well, it's time to learn how to speak." Mo Yuhou stood up and said, "Since weaned from breastfeeding, you don't need to continue taking care of her. I will find a suitable wife and come back."
"Hou Ye!" Xia Shi hurriedly stood up, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Is there anything wrong with me? The last time I quarreled with Madam, it was because Madam caused trouble first. Also, she wanted to prick her with a needle." Alright, my concubine has tried her best to protect her, why..."
"Han Yun's temperament is not so ostentatious." Ning Yuxuan glanced at her, and said indifferently: "I have prepared for you the money you will use for the rest of your life, and you have to find someone to teach you."
Xia took a deep breath: "Master Hou, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge! I'm fine..."
"You are not his mother." Ning Yuxuan brushed her hand away: "Take what you should take, go back and see your own child, the carriage is already waiting outside."
The Xia family was stunned as if struck by lightning, and Mo Yuhou had already gone out with his arms in his arms.
Hao Hao became more and more attached to him, and even when he usually went to the Six Departments to do errands, Ning Yuxuan would hug him and go with him. Dressed in a dark blue official uniform, with a baby in his arms, he was often laughed at by people from the Six Departments.
"It's time for your mother to come back." He said to Hao Hao, "Do you miss her?"
He spat bubbles in his saliva blankly, turned around, and his chubby body was in Ning Yuxuan's arms.
Ji Man took the voucher and planned to go to the grain bank union meeting, and only after obtaining permission can he open a shop to sell rice in the capital. But just halfway there, a horse in a carriage on the street was frightened and ran towards her directly.
There was no hero saving the beauty, Ji Man was wiped by the saddle and fell to the ground, his hands and feet were all bloody in an instant.
"Sorry!" Crazy Horse was finally stopped by someone, and the driver jumped off, walked to Ji Man's side and said, "I'm sorry, little brother, can I take you to the nearby clinic?"
Ji Man paused for a familiar voice, and when he looked up, he saw Gui Bai's extremely honest face.
The people in the carriage got out of the carriage, holding the shaft of the carriage in shock and crying: "What crime have I committed?"
