Chapter Thirty-Six: A Chance Encounter with Xi Ze
In the deep silence of the night, the sky was just slightly bright, and before everything woke up, the Haotian Palace had quietly woken up.
"Eldest princess, Zhao Wen wants to see you."
Ji Xin sat in the bed and didn't wake up.
"Let her in."
"Blessed is the eldest princess." The salary is through the thin curtain to the salary to say goodbye.
"What's the matter with Zhao Wen." Ji Xin half-supported her forehead with her hand, she didn't sleep very well last night, which made her feel a little headache.
"Lord Jimo and Jing Hong met in Ruilian Hall yesterday, Jing Hong kept it very secretive, and Zhao Wen couldn't hear his conversation, but after Lord Jimo left, Zhao Wen overheard it, it seems that someone wants to be unfavorable to Lord Jimo."
Zhao Wen bowed his head and said.
Listening to this, he changed his hand and supported his forehead.
"So I know, is there anything else?"
Zhao Wen looked up sharply. "Eldest princess, don't you need to send someone to protect Lord Jimo?"
Ji Xin didn't sleep very well, and he didn't notice Zhao Wen's different mood from the past in a trance.
"No need." With Jimo Qing and his skills, if he sent someone to follow, he would find out, Ji Xin thought in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Zhao Wen seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't say it, bowed again and retreated, and when he left, he turned around and took a deep look at the majestic and tall porch of the hall, and his eyes were surging.
"Eldest princess, I look at this Zhaowen girl, it doesn't seem to be the same today."
Shuoge said as he put on the wash for the salary.
"It's common for little girls to be a little cautious." Ji Xin took the cloth and wiped it twice, but Shuoge laughed.
"Eldest princess, how old are you, why are you so old-fashioned."
Ji Xin put down the cloth with one hand. He nodded on Shrouge's forehead.
"Then you little girl, do you have any thoughts?"
Shuge replied with a smile. "Shuoge's mind is only for the eldest princess."
Ji Xin smiled helplessly. "You......"
Haotian Kingdom's politics is a three-day period, and it is rare to take a moment to go out of the city with an audit salary today, and I want to see how the towns around the royal capital are doing recently.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance, Zheng Xize, now Zheng Xize is no longer the cynical and down-and-out student of the Rising Sun, and now he has become a Lizheng because of the position at the top of the official selection exam, although it is not a high-powered position, but it can be regarded as an official career.
At this moment, he was disdainful of the squire's private occupation of land and the theory of a few round-headed and fat-brained gentry, and even the officials standing behind Zheng Xize were embarrassed.
"Lord Zheng, I'm afraid you don't know when you first arrive, our place depends on a few of our big families to eat, you say that we encroach on the land, where did we come from."
Zheng Xize was unmoved when he heard this, and he was even more upright.
"First, you don't have a land certificate, and second, you don't have a government building document, so it's an encroachment."
"Hahahaha!" The squires seemed to have heard something extremely funny.
"Lord Zheng, do you know that Li Wenxian, the prince of the royal capital, is my cousin." One of them, a very mellow gentleman, said.
Zheng Xize just glanced at it coldly.
"Right is right, wrong is wrong, without vouchers and approvals, this land just can't be built. If anyone dares to break ground," Zheng Xize pointed to the officials. "And you will arrest him."
The officials behind Zheng Xize looked at each other at a loss, and the onlookers were afraid of getting into trouble and no one spoke.
The squires looked at Zheng Xize like a show, Zheng Xize just stood straight and looked at them, and stood behind the crowd, his heart moved slightly.
"My lord, these squires are used to being domineering on weekdays, and they are extremely powerful, and one of our chiefs was assigned to the marginal states and counties because he offended them, and if the adults don't know how to turn a blind eye, they should turn a blind eye to this matter." A servant grabbed Zheng Xize and whispered to him.
Zheng Xize frowned and shook off the officer's hand.
"I, Zheng Xize, will be here for a day, and I won't tolerate all the traitors for a day, and you guys are here to show me."
After that, he turned around and left, and the onlookers saw that Zheng Lizheng was gone, and they didn't dare to watch anymore, and several squires made eye contact and looked at each other, with disdain on their faces and ideas in their hearts.
"This Zheng Xize is interesting." Ji Xin did not go to see Zheng Xize, if the time came, they would naturally meet.
"I think he looks like an elm head." Shuoge didn't care what he said. "Offending the squire in such a large public will not last long."
Ji Xin smiled. "Shuoge, after returning to the palace, Li Wen, the Xuantaifu Siqing, will come to see me first."
"Yes!" Shuoge nodded. "It's a blessing to meet the eldest princess today."
The salary is noncommittal, but he recalls the scene when he saw Zheng Xize for the first time in the rising sun, if he is said to let him go on this road, I am afraid it is also his own reason.
