When she went back, the lights in the yard had not been turned off, and Wei Ting saw that she was safe, so she went to rest with peace of mind. Chunhua's silly girl has been guarding the door, as if she won't come back.

The two entered the house, Zhirong grabbed her hand and found it cold, so she put it in the palm of her hand and covered it, "Good sister, my internal strength is not afraid of cold, you have never practiced martial arts, this spring night is so cold that you are stupidly waiting for me." Besides, Shen Qing has been following with the secret guard, so there is no need to worry about it at all. ”

"I'm afraid that something will happen to the Lord, and I can't sleep every night this year. It's better to meet you at the gate. Chunhuayun said this lightly, but there were tears in his eyes. Don't go again this time, even if you go, take me with you, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will accompany the Lord. ”

Hearing this, Zhirong felt both grateful and sad. In the past year, she has suffered, but Chunhua and others are also suffering for her. She also heard Wei Ting talk about how a few girls were almost killed by the Yan family. If it weren't for Li You, the Wen family, and Wei Ting's protection, I'm afraid they wouldn't be here.

Chunhua's hands were so thin that he could only touch the bones, and Zhirong felt sad for a while. They suffered no less mental torture than she did. "In the future, no matter what, I will not leave you. Now that I have the strength to protect you, I naturally want to take you with me. ”

Chunhua nodded happily, turned around and wiped her tears. With Zhirong's words, she felt much more relieved. This year, she would always hear news from Wei Ting about Zhirong, hear that she was in trouble, and hear that she led the Shen family army to seize the evil spirit city and enter the north, and then the news became less and less.

until they heard the name of King Rong. She knew it must be her master. And when they heard that Zhirong had broken the Northern Regions City and came to the capital, they couldn't sleep for a few days and nights. God is pitiful, and now people are in front of her. Even if she wants her to be a slave in the next life, it's worth it.

On the second day, Zhirong took the girls to Yanfeng's own mansion, according to Dongxiu, Xia Jin has never been out of this mansion since marrying Yanfeng.

"Lord, I have asked the guards to inform the steward. It will take a while to get a reply. Dong Xiu came over and said to Zhirong in the sedan chair, although his tone was normal, but his expression was a little gloomy.

Zhirong nodded when he didn't see it: "That's it." Let's just wait a minute. ”

Shen Qing rolled his eyes and glanced at the plaque above the gate, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Even if they are sisters, in the past, it was a master-servant relationship. If she doesn't come to see the old master in person, it's just that. The Lord himself came to see her, and he wanted to say all this, which is really not a good look. Lord, you're too good-tempered. ”

"I don't talk much on weekdays, but I talk a lot today. It seems that I really have to let Shen Heng discipline you. Zhirong sat indifferently in the sedan chair. I always feel uneasy. It stands to reason that Xia Jin and Chunhua are the most loyal. And she's such a careful person that she never loses her manners.

What's more, now that she has made an agreement with Yan Hua, the Yan family has not been punished by Li You. Why didn't she come to see her? Is it because you feel shameless or do you have a last resort?

"Madam, the King of the North has come to see you, do you see it or not?"

Xia Jin was embroidering, and her eldest girl came in to tell the housekeeper what she said. Xia Jin, who was not prepared at all, accidentally pierced a silver needle deep into his fingers, and after pulling it out, the blood donation fell dripping. It hurt her eyes.

"Please, you go and prepare the best refreshments. Don't slack off your guests. ”

"However, the general once told you not to let you see guests privately, for fear that you would be in danger if something happened to you, and now that you are pregnant again, it is not suitable for outsiders." The girl smiled and bandaged her hands.

Xia Jin shook off her hand and said, "Is King Rong an outsider?" She is my former lord and a friend of the current emperor. I didn't go to the meeting yesterday, and I have already lost my courtesy, and if I don't see me today, it will not only be me, but even the general will not be able to hang on his face. Hurry up and get ready! ”

After the girl went out, Xia Jin hurriedly put down the embroidery and looked at her makeup in the mirror to see if there was anything inappropriate. She groomed in a panic, and then rubbed the fine rouge gouache, seeing that the person was in a lot of spirits, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhirong and the others entered the hall under the leadership of the housekeeper, and Xia Jin was already waiting at the door. Seeing Zhirong, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Xia Jin to meet King Rong!" ”

She wanted to be called 'girl', 'lord' or 'lord', but there were so many eyes and ears around her, and if she called her like that, there would be gossip in the ears of Yan Feng. Therefore, they can only bow down and prostrate.

Where did Zhirong think of Xia Jinxing's big gift, and hurriedly asked Chunhua to help her up. "What is Mrs. Yan doing, they are all sisters of the past, so there is no need to be so polite." Such polite words turned out to be a conversation between her and Xia Jin, and Zhirong felt a chill in her heart.

"King Rong's visit to the Humble House is my blessing, please, I have prepared your favorite refreshments, some of which are from the palace." Xia Jin welcomed a few people in, gave up the main seat to Zhirong, and sat on the side seat by himself.

As soon as she entered the hall, Zhirong found that there were girls and guards all around, just like a prison cell. Looking at Xia Jin carefully, although his face was ruddy, his makeup was also very bright. But she still couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes and the haggard aura emanating from her body.

I thought that Xia Jin must have had a better life when he married Yan Feng, but now it doesn't seem to be what he imagined. And those maids are not so much serving as spying on them.

"You've always known that I like to be pure, how do you let our sisters talk to you, people in this room?" Zhirong picked up the tea and took a sip gently.

Xia Jin smiled embarrassedly: "I am pregnant, and the general will fill this mansion with people, and a group of people will follow all day long." King Rong didn't like it, so I let them go down. ”

She instructed the housekeeper and said, "Take everyone down, King Rong is my old master." It's disrespectful for you to be here. All the guards are down! ”

The woman's eyes purred: "Madam, you are embarrassing the slave." ”

Xia Jin put it in her ear: "If you don't retreat, you will embarrass me, and I will definitely explain to him when the general comes back." ”

The mother-in-law was extremely reluctant to wait with a group of people, and Chunhua sneered: "What a big battle." Even our lord doesn't have so many people to follow. You, the general's wife, are really not in vain. ”

The sour words were full of sarcasm, but Xia Jin was calm, as if he hadn't heard it. Instead, he turned to Zhirong and asked, "How long does King Rong plan to live in Beijing?" When are you going to get married to your grandfather? ”

Zhirong suddenly felt awkward, and even this tea was bitter. She sighed deeply and stared at Xia Jin; "You and my sister, have you come to this point after all? I'm glad you're married, but there's no need to be rusty about it. I can understand your original choice, why can't you let it go? ”

"King Rong misunderstood, and now his status is different. You are one of the two kings of the North. is the emperor's friend again, and he is different from before. I'm just Yanfeng's wife, and the etiquette is thorough. Xia Jin fiddled with his fingers crampedly. Stand up and fill up the new tea for Zhirong personally.

Zhirong watched her every move and blurted out: "You are not doing well, why is Yanfeng imprisoning you?" ”

Xia Jin hurriedly returned when he heard this: "No, Yanfeng has never imprisoned me. He was excellent to me. He does not take concubines. It couldn't be better if I didn't go to a brothel either. It's just that I'm busy with official business and I'm afraid that I'll be in danger alone, so I sent these people. King Rong, you misunderstood. ”

Her words were eager, and a little stumbling. Zhirong was even more convinced of her guess. Yan Feng is always good to Xia Jin, but the way is wrong. Moreover, the guards of this slow house are not weak in martial arts, and they should not be what people of Yanfeng's status should have. I'm afraid that most of the people in this courtyard are not people who are hot and windy.

"I have decided to marry Yan Hua, although the master is dead, I still have to marry him, but I will wait for the master to be buried before the marriage." Zhirong lowered her head to drink tea, but her eyes peeked at Xia Jin.

I saw that her face was pale. I was even more puzzled.

"That's good, of course." Xia Jin smiled dryly, but found that his smile was so stiff.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Zhirong was depressed in her heart, and the sisters who used to talk about everything couldn't even say polite words now. Looking at Xia Jin's appearance, it seems that there is something unspeakable, but he doesn't tell himself. Maybe it's not time yet, it's best to get Xia Jin out of the house one day and talk to her well.

"It's not too early, I have to prepare things later, go back to Kaizhou tomorrow to bury the master, and go back to the Bai family to see Siniang and Zhiyan by the way."

Approaching the door, Xia Jin suddenly grabbed Zhirong's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Be careful Duan Ziyan!" Then he quickly let go of Zhirong, as if he hadn't said anything, and sent a few people out of the house with a gentle smile.

Zhirong heard those words clearly, and she was always uneasy when she returned to the mansion. Duan Ziyan's martial arts have been abolished, what threat can she pose? What's more, Yan Hua has already mastered the Yan family, and Duan Ziyan's garden has been fenced. Even if Duan Ziyan wanted to kill her now, she couldn't send out manpower.

Wei Ting waited in the inner room early, and when she saw Zhirong's bad face, she knew that she must have been angry with Xia Jin. "I thought you were going to talk for a while, and you'll be back so soon."

"Sister didn't expect it a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't be waiting for me here." Zhirong sat down and sighed deeply: "I really don't understand what happened to Xia Jin, his temperament changed like this." If Yan Feng treats her badly, I won't be able to spare him. ”

"Actually, I have known that Xia Jin is strange for a long time, but it is not good to tell you. I didn't expect her to see you or be like this. ”

Wei Ting took out a letter: "The emperor is really busy with politics, and he has to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, so I wrote a letter to you." ”

Zhirong frowned after reading the letter, and looked at it suspiciously: "Let me take over the Shang Palace Bureau, and revise the harem code, and the Commander-in-Chief Shang Gong Empress He will manage the harem together?" That's the rule. ”

Li Youmo is not busy and confused, there has been no situation in the past dynasties where the Commander-in-Chief Shanggong is the assistant to the Six Palaces, even the founding Shen Zhihua has not done that. Also revise the code, can't she be tired to death?

"You also know that there is also a mess in the Shanggong Bureau now, and Pushanggong is sick, so Lord Yubi recommends you to the emperor to temporarily preside over the affairs of the Shanggong Bureau until you get married. What do you think? Wei Ting took her hand and pleaded with her eyes.

Zhirong pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister came to see me fake, and it's true that I'm worried about Li You." I don't want to do it in the north, what do I do in the Laoshzi Shang Palace. helped him fight the country, and also helped him rectify the harem. Wouldn't it be nice to hand it over to Qiu Manhua, and besides, there is a good hand like you. ”

Qiu Manhua is the future queen, and it is not very good for her to manage the harem. The Shanggong Bureau is in charge of Wei Ting. Why do you blame everything on yourself, she doesn't care.

"I, the emperor wants to accept me as a concubine and be promoted to the title with Murong Qiu. These are all for the Shang Palace Bureau. And the queen looks amazing, but she is very powerless to deal with harem matters. ”

Saying that, Wei Ting's face turned red, and when she thought that she was about to become Li You's concubine, she could get along with him day and night in the palace, and her heart seemed to jump out with joy.

Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and then thought clearly. It was a matter of time before Wei Ting married Li You, and now she will be promoted to the title with Murong Qiu, so she must be a concubine.

remembered that Wei Ting said that she would not be Li You's concubine no matter what, but now that time has passed, her persistence has never been able to grind through time, and she has not been able to cross the hurdle in her heart.

"Since this is the case, I will be respectful rather than obey. But I can tell Li You that I will only wait until he ascends the throne. ”

"Got it!" Wei Ting looked like a little daughter, with a face full of happiness.

At the moment, she is happy, I don't know how she can survive such days by facing the palace wall all day long, waiting for the emperor to be lucky. The women of the harem are trampled on without grace, and if you want to gain grace, you must have the means, can Wei Ting at that time still be like now?

Zhirong didn't want to think about it, there were too many things in the capital that she couldn't understand. Suddenly, when I thought of Yan Hua, my heart suddenly opened up. After burying the master, he must really live for himself once and live a good life with Yanhua. However, when she thought of Princess Tianze, she always had some scruples in her heart.

"I heard that Yan Hua proposed to the emperor, and the emperor has agreed. This time it's a sure thing, you are destined to be Yanhua's wife. ”

"Where's Princess Naize?" Zhirong asked strangely.

"Didn't Yanhua tell you? Before entering the city, he got together with Princess Tianze and gave the woman a back cover. They have never had a round house, so Princess Tianze can remarry. I heard that Princess Tianze was very happy to get that fief, and even rushed back, which was the best fief in southern Xinjiang. ”

Wei Ting said with a happy smile: "Yanhua has done a lot of things, so don't be stubborn." ”

Zhirong was silent, but her heart was warm. But what else does she want for a person like Yanhua?

The next morning, she prepared her bags and brought a few girls and Shen Qing with her. Put ice cubes in Xia Yunsheng's coffin and seal it, put it in the carriage, and the group walked in the direction of Kaizhou.

As soon as she left the capital, she heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind her, and Zhirong turned around to see Yan Hua running towards her. Then he stopped quickly, "I'll go back to Kaizhou with you!" This voice is still so domineering, no one can refute it, but it is also full of concern.

"Then what are you doing stupidly and not leaving?" Zhi Rong glanced at him, turned around and smiled beautifully. (To be continued......)
