"Confused!" Concubine Jiang's tone was solemn, "Why did you give her the jade pendant if you didn't want to ruin her reputation?" Why are you so eager to quit Siqi? Listening to Siqi's words, she obviously knows who that girl is, if she pokes things out in the future or wants to retaliate, have you thought about what to do? ”

Ji Zongyu was stunned, only to feel that his head was swollen, and he replied weakly, "It was a long time ago to give the jade pendant, and I was going to leave at that time, for fear that she would forget me, so I gave the jade pendant to her and retreated...... I don't want Siqi to entangle her anymore, and if I retire, Siqi can't bother her by relying on my fiancée, and if Siqi dares to mess around again, I will ...... I'm ......"

"What can you do?" Concubine Jiang paused, she still scolded, "Confused, really confused!" How can you use what the old general taught you here? They are women, not soldiers in the barracks, and they will not be forbidden! She reproached helplessly, "What's going on in your head?" ”

"Mother, can you help me......" Although Ji Zongyu didn't understand what he had done wrong, he also knew that he must be wrong when he saw Concubine Jiang talking like this.

"Stinky boy! The old general must not know that there are such things in it, otherwise he would not have let you quit. Concubine Jiang raised her forehead and said distressedly, "Now I don't know what to do?" ”

Ji Zongyu looked at Concubine Jiang with a blank eye, "Mother, now that the emperor has summoned me, what should I do?" ”

"What can be done? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. The gentle Concubine Jiang was also angry, "You have to plan for the worst, if the emperor asks later, you can only insist that it is your wishful thinking, you know?" "The prodigal son will not change the money, but the woman will not be forgiven if she gives it privately.

"Okay." Ji Zongyu nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, it's all at this juncture, don't you say which daughter that woman is?" Concubine Jiang had already raised her feet and walked out of the house, but she stopped and asked.

"Yes...... The fourth lady of the Jinling Lin family. ”

Outside the hall, Bai Xian was already impatient, and when he saw Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu coming out, he couldn't help but look worried.

"Little princess, hurry up, the emperor is afraid that he is in a hurry." Bai Xian said in a eunuch's unique voice, neither yin nor yang.

An outdated concubine, a little prince who is not invited to see, is not qualified to let him swallow his anger.

Ji Zongyu was already annoyed and confused by Concubine Jiang's words, and he couldn't help it immediately.

Concubine Jiang grabbed him, shook her head sternly, and then glanced at Yue'e.

Yue'e understood, and quietly stuffed a purse into Bai Xian's hand.

"Father-in-law Bai, the emperor is busy with political affairs today?" Concubine Jiang asked gently and drizzly as usual.

Bai Xian quietly weighed the purse in his sleeve, and smiled, "Niangniang is worried, today is the king of Pingbei who entered the palace to ask to see, and the emperor has summoned you and the little prince." After saying that, he walked ahead with his head in front of him, and did not want to say another word.

Hearing this, Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Without saying anything all the way, he went straight to the Imperial Palace.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Ji Zongyu saw the groveling King Ma Hua of Pingbei, while Emperor Zongqing Ji Zongya was expressionless and couldn't see whether he was in a good or bad mood.

Ji Zongyu followed Concubine Jiang and saluted, only to see Ji Zongya open his mouth, "Excuse me, sit down." ”

Then there was silence in the hall again.

Could it be that Ma Hua listened to Siqi's words and stabbed Lin Xiaosi in front of the emperor?

Ji Zongyu's heart was pounding, and he couldn't bear to ask recklessly.

"Ma Hua, you tell you again." Ji Zongya's tone was a little unkind.

Ji Zongyu's eyelids jumped, staring at Ma Hua.

But who knew that as soon as Ma Hua opened his mouth, he said that he had long been forgotten by Ji Zongyu to the clouds.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the concubine is afraid and doesn't know." Ma Hua wiped the cold sweat hard before ending the conversation.

Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu were dumbfounded, and Ma Hua deliberately came into the palace, saying that it was the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns presented by the Lin Mansion earlier in order to compete for the position of the emperor and businessman.

"Concubine, I don't know if you know about this." Ji Zongya asked at Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang's mind turned, and she hung her head and said apologetically, "The emperor is aware of everything, I do know about this matter, but I also thought that the Lin family was negligent for a while after all, and it didn't make a big mistake in the end, so I asked for the headdress, so as not to stain the holy eye." ”

"That's it......" Ji Zongya dragged out the last note, but he didn't say any more, only his fingers habitually tapped on the table.

Ji Zongyu really wanted to slap himself, he remembered that he swore to Lin Xiaosi at the time that he would definitely solve this matter.

"Emperor, just make a mistake for the first time in the Lin family, please be lenient." Concubine Jiang persuaded softly. If she pleaded, she opened her mouth a thousand times more appropriately than Ji Zongyu's mouth.

But suddenly, Ji Zongya smiled, "It's such a trivial matter, don't be too nervous, I just called the concubine to ask." Saying that, he said to Ma Hua, "Ma Qing's family did a good job this time, but you are responsible for this matter when Japan makes a mistake, and you will naturally be looking for you if something goes wrong, but for the sake of your truthfulness today, you will not be punished or rewarded for your success." ”

Ma Hua exaggerated and breathed a sigh of relief, "The emperor is wise, and Weichen only remembered it after some changes in the past few days, and he didn't dare to mention the credit." "As for what's going on? Your Majesty, you know. He didn't believe it, he deliberately talked about Concubine Jiang helping the Lin family, and the emperor didn't think of anything.

"As for this jewelry, if the concubine likes to keep it." Ji Zongya continued, but his voice changed, "But in the end, there is something wrong with this jewelry, and the Lin family has to punish it." ”

"Jin Yulin Mansion, since you are so rich, you will be fined 10,000 taels of silver." Ji Zongya said the final decision, and then he said, "Okay, let's all step down." ”

Just raised high and gently put down?

Ji Zongyu was a little incredulous, he looked at Concubine Jiang, but saw that she was also a little puzzled.

"Wechen retired." The words have been pointed, Ma Hua did not intend to stay any longer, and withdrew from the hall.

Only then did Ji Zongyu come back to his senses, and he took the opportunity to say to Ji Zongya, "Your Majesty, my brother wants to go back to Mobei." ”

Ji Zongya smiled and said, "I summoned you to let you go back, and I have also prepared some rewards, which will be sent to your palace later, and you can help me bring them to General Jiang." ”

Ji Zongyu had even more doubts in his heart, but he could only hide his words and arch his hand, "Brother and the old general, thank you for the emperor's reward." ”

Out of the Imperial Palace, Ji Zongyu was still confused, and Concubine Jiang pulled him to Cining Palace quickly.

And the moment Ji Zongya closed the door of the palace, the smile on his face was not gone.

Bai Xian asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is this matter over?" ”

Ji Zongya put away his smiling face and his expression was indifferent, "What's wrong with marrying a merchant's daughter?" Besides, he chose it desperately. His tone gradually deepened, "I know very well what Ma Hua is thinking, but how can I allow him to be at his mercy?" I won't stop Yu'er, but if Yu'er wants to marry a beautiful woman, she has to pay some price, right? This 10,000 taels should be regarded as the deposit I received first. ”

A few days later, a swift edict was sent from the capital to the Jinling Lin Mansion.
