No longer worrying about what he is not good at, throwing political matters on Xiao Lingyan's head, Zhao Ruxi had a very happy life in the future.

Practice calligraphy every day, draw dots to earn points, and then get some agricultural inventions every once in a while.

In previous years, due to the lack of fertility, the fields near the capital were planted only with rice and not winter wheat. But Zhao Ruxi handed over a composting method to Gong Cheng in the autumn. The Ministry of Industry popularized it downward, and the whole Dajin Dynasty composted and fertilized according to this method, and the winter wheat near the capital grew very well.

Time flickered and it was time for the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhao Yuanxun, Zhu and the old lady, and Zhao Jingtai all stayed in Gusu and did not return to the capital.

And because of last year's coup d'état, Xiao Qi had a psychological resistance to the palace New Year's banquet, so he didn't make a big deal, just a few people simply ate a meal and dispersed, and Zhao Ruxi also avoided the year-end entertainment that he didn't like.

In terms of participating in banquets, Zhao Ruxi can be described as an outlier among female dependents in the capital.

She hardly attended banquets before she got married, and she still does. Even if the eldest princess of Shangde or the old princess of Zhennan Mansion celebrates her birthday, she will go there to show her face, say a few words to the birthday star and leave, and do not meet other female relatives at all.

Because of this, those who couldn't marry their daughters or granddaughters to be concubines for King Qi, and tried their best to ridicule her openly and secretly couldn't catch anyone, and they were very disappointed.

"Hmph, in front of Princess Qi, these people laugh at a flattery, and the flattery they say is a beautiful one; But when he turned his back, he wanted to send the girl in the family to the Qi Palace, and compete with Princess Qi for favor. Is it really a fool to be Princess Qi? "The princess of Zhennan Wangfu said to the eldest princess of Shangde.

"If Zhiwei is a fool, there will be no smart people in the world." The eldest princess said, "Look at what husband people have chosen?" For her, even the position of prince is not uncommon. ”

Speaking of this, both of them were full of sighs.

The eldest princess of Shangde is fine. She was a princess, and the colt didn't dare to think anything crooked.

But the king of Zhennan has concubines, and there are quite a few of them.

Therefore, Princess Zhennan is most convinced by Zhao Ruxi.

In addition, she is especially grateful to Zhao Ruxi.

If there was no Zhao Ruxi, her daughter would not have been able to marry Wu Zong.

Wu Zong has never taken a concubine. Even after so many years of his wife's death, his back house was very clean. Such a man will not take a concubine in the future.

"By the way, what did Princess Jingping do with you just now?" Princess Zhennan suddenly remembered something and asked the eldest princess Shangde.

Speaking of this, the corners of Princess Shangde's mouth twitched: "She came to ask me if their family should straighten Princess Qi's cousin." ”

Princess Zhennan: "......"

King Jingping is also the king of the county, and Princess Zhennan is very clear about the affairs of Jingping Palace.

Not long after the coup d'état last year, the prince of Jingping suddenly fell ill and died, and Xiao Sijie, the fourth son of the Jingping prince's mansion, became the son.

Xiao Sijie's original wife has always been in poor health and is always sick. I was infected with a cold last spring, and finally I didn't survive, and Xiang Xiaoyu died, leaving no son and half a daughter.

Now that the New Year has passed, spring will soon begin, and Xiao Sijie's one-year filial piety will almost pass. Princess Jingping wants to find a stepwife for her son, but she is worried about offending Zhao Ruxi, so she wants to ask the eldest princess Shangde to probe the mouth?

Princess Zhennan asked, "What did you say?" ”

"This kind of thing, how can I make the decision for Zhiwei? Of course, you have to ask what it means. Princess Shangde said.

"Zhiwei should be willing for her cousin to be straightened, right? After all, my cousin is a concubine, and it is difficult to be talked about. Princess Zhennan said.

Eldest Princess Shangde shook her head: "It's hard to say. That cousin is none other than the fake daughter who made the mistake with Zhiwei. At the beginning, the Zhao family didn't send her back to Xu's house, and they offered her good food and drink, and let her go to the Beijing Women's Academy to study. ”

"The result? After Zhiwei went home, she not only treated Zhiwei badly, but also picked three nests and fours. If it weren't for Zhiwei's cleverness, I don't know how many ways she would have been. ”

Later, she let go of many good people who did not marry, so she had to secretly go to Xiao Sijie as a concubine, which embarrassed the Zhao family and Zhiwei. This kind of person, if it were me, I would ignore it and let her be a concubine for the rest of my life. ”

Because of Zhao Ruxi's competitiveness, he became an official, and after becoming the princess of Qi, he still worked tirelessly to become an official and set an example for women. In addition, the two made a lot of money by opening a textile factory together, and Princess Shangde loved Zhao Ruxi very much, and she couldn't wait to treat Zhao Ruxi as her goddaughter.

Because she cares about Zhao Ruxi, she understands the affairs of Suiping Bofu clearly.

These princesses of Zhennan really don't know.

Hearing this, she was dumbfounded: "She stayed in the Zhao family, didn't she think about glory and wealth, and Xu Yiyi had a good family?" Why do you want to do this to devalue yourself? ”

The eldest princess of Shangde sneered: "If she is just the daughter of a farmer, she is not even qualified to be a concubine for Xiao Sijie." ”

Princess Zhennan: "......"

"Then we can't say much about it. Talk to Princess Qi and see what she has to say. She said.

The next day, the eldest princess of Shangde went to the Qi Palace, and told Zhao Ruxi about the matter.

Zhao Ruxi almost forgot about Zhao Ruyu.

Hearing that the prince of Jingping Wangfu died, Xiao Sijie became the son, and his wife died of illness again, Zhao Ruxi finally knew that her original guess was correct.

Zhao Ruyu is eyeing the position of the princess of King Jingping.

When she lost Fu Yunlang's love, all she wanted was status.

At that time, with the family of the Zhao family's second room, as well as Zhao Ruxi's own identity as an adopted daughter, and the reputation of having an adoptive mother executed, it was difficult for her to marry into the Pingnan Hou Mansion, let alone marry into other powerful families.

So she used the prophet to marry Xiao Sijie as a concubine, and made herself the future princess of King Jingping with the way of saving the country with a curve.

It's just that how can she calculate that she will definitely be corrected?

"You tell Princess Jingping, I don't care about this, they can do whatever they want. If you think she is good and can be a princess, then I won't stop her; But if you think she doesn't deserve it, you don't have to look at my face. ”

Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, the eldest princess of Shangde nodded and said, "Then I know." ”

After talking to Zhao Ruxi about the textile factory and the situation of the girls' school, Princess Shangde got up and said goodbye, went directly to the Jingping Palace, and relayed Zhao Ruxi's words.

"Your Highness, what do you think...... Princess Qi, what does this mean? Princess Jingping felt that she couldn't comprehend Zhao Ruxi's meaning at all.

For the sake of Zhao Ruxi, King Qi rejected so many girls sent by powerful people. If Zhao Ruxi gave birth to a son and King Qi was made the crown prince again, then she would not correct Zhao Ruyu today, she was afraid that Zhao Ruxi would give Jingping Wangfu small shoes to wear after becoming the crown princess or queen.

"It's literal." Princess Shangde didn't dare to say a word more, for fear that Princess Jingping would understand the mistake and do something that would make Zhao Ruxi unhappy.
