"Nonsense!" Nalan Jinxiu didn't expect Jixiang to think about this, which made her very angry. It would be fine if the other girls in the house had this idea, but Jixiang was the person she trusted the most, how could she covet the third brother?

"The slave is not messing around, the slave is well thought out. Since the matter of taking concubines is inevitable, it is better to accept others than to have your own people, and the slave and maid are always of the same mind as their wives. ”

"If you were really of the same mind as me, you wouldn't say such things today. The days you have followed me have not been short, you should know what I am most taboo about, and don't mention it again in the future. ”

Ji Xiang straightened up, kowtowed again, and said slowly: "It is precisely because the slave and maid have been following you for a long time that I know that I was not born to be a slave, I want to be the master for myself, and I want to get rid of slavery." I hope that Mrs. will be fulfilled. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's originally stiff body suddenly softened, and she knew that Ji Xiangken had already made up her mind when she told her. It's not that she didn't notice Jixiang's eyes when she looked at the third brother, but she never thought about it in that direction.

In her heart, she is auspicious and retreating, and she is the person who can carry it clearly, and she will not be willing to be small because of her identity or power. She should be a person who would rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a noble family. I don't know why, but now I'm so persistent.

"Go out and let Ruyi come in and serve. Nalan Jinxiu's left elbow was propped up on the table, and his palm was supporting his forehead, looking extremely tired.

"Madame......" auspicious still wants to say more.

"Get out. Nalan Jinxiu said coldly.

"Madam, listen to me, as long as you let the third master accept me, no one will bother you with the matter of taking concubines. I will definitely be obedient, and I will definitely have a lot of peace of mind than the people who come from outside......"

"That's enough!" Nalan Jinxiu said angrily: "I don't know if you were bewitched by anyone, or if that's what you think deep down, but I can tell you clearly, impossible!"

"Why?" Jixiang looked up at her and asked, "I thought Madame would agree, after all, you treat me so well." ”

"Because I'm so good to you, I let you have this kind of thought? auspicious, you let me down so much. Nalan Jinxiu waved her hand again, obviously not wanting to say another word to her.

Jixiang knelt on the ground and watched her for a long time, but finally got up and went out. Before she went out, she turned around and saw Nalan Jinxiu pressing her eyebrows with her fingers, obviously feeling annoyed. She suddenly wanted to cry, if not for anything else, because she had lost someone who was really good to her.

Auspicious things annoyed her until the night, and she couldn't fall asleep when she was lying in bed. Ji Hongye heard her sigh, reached out and held her in his arms, and gently coaxed her.

"Third brother, Jixiang told me today that she wanted to be your concubine. ”

Ji Hongye's hand stroking her back paused, and then resumed his unhurried rhythm. He asked lightly: "It's not like what she would do, there may be something unspeakable." ”

"How does the third brother know?"

Ji Hongye took a deep breath and felt that he couldn't talk more now, otherwise the contradiction would turn to him. He coaxed him good-naturedly: "It's not early, go to sleep!"

"Then how am I going to settle her? Nalan Jinxiu knew that she couldn't keep Jixiang by her side, but it was not her wish to dispose of it at will, she still wanted to find a good home for her.

"Many of the guards in Jinyuan have not yet married, if you have a mind, I can let Long Yi pay attention. If you feel that the distance is too close, you can also consider the people of the Thousand Machine Battalion. ”

The third brother really thought of going with her, Jixiang was already fifteen years old, and the most appropriate place to go was to find her a good family. If she marries someone on duty in Jinyuan, it is naturally very good, at least she can ensure that she is not bullied. Although the person chosen by the third brother will definitely not be bad, after all, the Qianji Battalion is something she can't control.

From the next day, Jixiang didn't go into the room to serve, Ruyi was confused, she didn't understand what was going on. I thought it was Jixiang who made Nalan Jinxiu angry, and said a lot of good things for Jixiang openly and secretly.

Nalan Jinxiu knew that Ruyi was simple-minded, and she didn't have a lot of energy, so she would rather be misunderstood by her than explain more. Otherwise, with the temperament of not rubbing sand in Ruyi's eyes, he will definitely find auspiciousness to theorize, in that case, auspicious face will not be able to get by, and it will also hurt the feelings between them.

She thought that it was not good to be too hasty in marriage, what if someone who looked good on the surface actually had bad habits. So she put the few people that Long Yi proposed to her in front of her and carefully observed.

Without Jixiang by her side, she has a lot of inconveniences to do things. Ji Hongye planned to find her another clever one, but Nalan Jinxiu couldn't believe it, so only Ruyi was left waiting for her for the time being. Fortunately, she stays in the house every day and doesn't go out, and she doesn't have too many things to deal with.

After a few days in peace, Yu Liang took an urgent fold with him. This summer's heavy rains have caused floods, which have caused untold suffering for the people of Yuliang, and there have been refugee riots in many places. Yuliang was originally a land of fish and rice, and the government also had a lot of grain in stock, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the disaster, so he had to ask Jinling for help.

Tobe Shangshu has had a stroke for many days and is no longer a director. Sun Wenjie began to raise money as soon as he received the news of the disaster, but fortunately, in Daning in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the country and the people are safe, and the treasury is very full. It only took him an afternoon to prepare all the money and food.

Everyone knew that disaster relief was a fat gap, so the post of minister who was sent to Yu Liang made all the officials fight for it. Now that there are only two factions in the court, the disaster relief cannot be delayed, and in order to show the royal kindness, it is necessary to send a prince.

Disaster relief is the most prestigious among the people, and King Hui now has the qualifications to compete with King Xun, because the previous disaster relief was done very properly. With the previous experience, this time King Hui is naturally the best to do. But King Xun has suffered a loss once, and it is absolutely impossible to have a second time.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and even Emperor Yonglong had a hard time choosing. Emotionally, he is willing to give King Xun a chance to give it a try, but this time the disaster is serious, and if it is smashed, it will inevitably cause a riot. If you send King Hui away, it will be contrary to his will.

After the last disaster relief, King Hui's reputation in the community is getting bigger and bigger, and the people are grateful to him. Everyone in the court said that he was virtuous and talented, both civil and military. If Yu Liang lets him go again, and he does his errands beautifully, then the people of the world will only recognize him as King Hui.

Emperor Yonglong couldn't sleep because of this, and stayed in the imperial study until the second half of the night, and asked the eunuch next to him to recruit Ji Hongye into the palace. Because it was the second half of the night, it was the time when people were sleeping the deepest, but Ji Hongye had been watching Nalan Jinxiu sleep, and he didn't close his eyes at all. He had already prepared, and the Holy Lord would definitely summon him today, and he would definitely take him to Yuliang.

Yes, although the court failed to fight for a result, with Emperor Yonglong's suspicious temperament, he would definitely choose to go in person in the end. What a big deal it is for the Holy Lord to leave Jinling, I am afraid that everyone in the cabinet will have to come up with advice.

And Yu Liang's trip must be accompanied by someone, Hou Bowengui should be the first choice for the first assistant of the cabinet, but unfortunately he is too old to stand the fatigue of traveling. So in the end, this responsibility will definitely fall on him.

Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king. As a courtier of Daning, he naturally can't shirk. It's just that his wife's pregnancy has just passed three months, and it will take a month for him to go soon, so he is really a little relieved. Therefore, he had no intention of sleeping at all, and wanted to watch her all the time.

When the holy decree arrived at the Ji Mansion, he had to get up and leave. Yu Liang's disaster is urgent, but I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the palace once he enters the palace. I wanted to say goodbye to her, but seeing that she was sleeping deeply, he looked at her by the bed for a while, and finally didn't want to wake her up, but just kissed her forehead.

Nalan Jinxiu woke up before it was bright, and she habitually touched the people around her, but she didn't touch anything. She opened her eyes, looked at the emptiness next to her, and pulled open the bed curtain to call out. Ruyi was in the western room, and when she heard her voice, she hurried in.

"Where's the third brother?" asked Nalan Jinxiu bluntly.

"The third master entered the palace last night. Long Yi just sent someone back to clean up the softness, saying that Yu Liang had a disaster, and the saint wanted to go to condolence in person, indicating that he wanted the third master to accompany him. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned at that time. She tried to think about this place, but to no avail. She hurriedly said to Ruyi: "You go to the study now and bring me the map, be quick." ”

Ruyi didn't know what she was going to do, but she didn't question it, and trotted to the study. Nalan Jinxiu didn't care about calling someone in to serve, she opened the cabinet, found a set of clothes to put on, and went to the clean room to wash up quickly.

As soon as she packed herself up, Ruyi came over with a map. Nalan Jinxiu opened the map, went to find Yu Liang's place, and found that it was far away from Jinling City. The third brother is gone, but I am afraid that it will take a few months to come back.

She touched her lower abdomen, and her heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable. If the third brother has been gone for a long time, won't he see the child born? There is a thought in her heart that has become extremely strong, she wants to see him, and she wants to see him now.

"I'm going to enter the palace and prepare the frame right away. ”

This time, Ruyi didn't go immediately, she stood there and hesitated. Nalan Jinxiu could only repeat it again, and the tone was completely unquestionable. Until the carriage had already started to move, Ruyi found that she was still confused. Why did she never find out that her wife was so sticky?

"Madam, Long Yi has been gone for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the palace now, so let's go to the Farewell Pavilion outside the city and wait!" Liangshan rode a horse and followed the carriage and said to Nalan Jinxiu in the car.

Farewell Pavilion is the only way out of Jinling, people will choose to see off there, the third brother will definitely pass by, Nalan Jinxiu simply replied: "Okay." ”
