Chapter 18 Seeing Is Not Necessarily True
"It's hot, why do you come to wait outside the temple again?" Holding Xie Ji, who was about to salute, Emperor Mingde took her hand and entered the hall with her.
"I'm used to it, how can I change it so easily?" Xie Ji lowered her head and chuckled, with a thousand styles, Emperor Mingde looked at her, and couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
Even though they have been together for more than ten years, when looking at Xie Hui, Emperor Mingde still has the mood when he first saw her.
Over the years, he often had the idea of making Xie Cheng the queen, but for various reasons, she still stayed in the position of concubine.
"I heard that you ordered someone to close the gate of Qifeng Palace and not let the geese come in? But what did she do to annoy you? Pulling Xie Cheng to sit on the soft couch, Emperor Mingde asked softly.
Just listen to his tone, as if Xie Ji is the most cherished person in this world.
But Xie Ji knows in her heart that many times, what she sees may not be true.
"Didn't Your Majesty ask knowingly? What else could be messing with me? Her marriage, of course! Glaring at Emperor Mingde, Xie Cheng withdrew his hand and turned his back to him.
Before, because of Xie Yangui's marriage, Xie Ji and Emperor Mingde were very angry, and now although they are also angry, Emperor Mingde knows that it is good to be angry at this time.
So he stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around Xie Xie's shoulder, hugged her into his arms, and whispered to her, "The previous thing was my mistake, Auntie don't be angry with me anymore, this matter is small, what if you are angry?" ”
Xie Cheng shrugged her shoulders and ignored him.
"I know that you are still angry with Lao Qi, but I think about it, probably only my prince is worthy of returning to the wild goose, and you regard her as your own daughter, why don't I?"
"Since we are reluctant to let her go to someone else's house, then stay with us. I thought about it, after they got married, Yan Gui didn't have to go to the fiefdom with Lao Qi, so let the younger couple stay in Kyoto. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Xie's reaction, and saw that her body was slightly tilted towards him, knowing that he had listened to his words.
"In this way, I will draft a decree today, entitle Lao Qi as the king of Ning, and give him the land of Jianghuai as a fief, and the wedding date will be set on the fifth day of the next month, and after they get married, they will live in the current residence of Yangui, and there is no need to change the name of the house."
"Wait until the new monarch succeeds to the throne in the future, let them take you to the fiefdom, and stay until you are a hundred years old, and then come back and be buried with me, okay?"
He shook Xie Hui's shoulders slightly, and smiled and brought his face in front of her.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, how can you say such a thing?" Xie Ji turned around, frowned slightly, and glared at Emperor Mingde.
"It's me who said it wrong, I must pay attention in the future, auntie, aren't you angry?" Emperor Mingde leaned over and kissed Xie Cheng on the face.
Xie Ji seemed to want to be angry, but seeing Emperor Mingde's appearance of making her laugh, she finally laughed.
She threw herself into the arms of Emperor Mingde, and her tone was quiet, "Your Majesty, concubine...... If our children are still alive, it is time to get married. ”
Her words made Emperor Mingde frown slightly, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Xie Xie's lower abdomen.
Back then, they would have had a child, but it's a pity...... The kid didn't keep it.
And after that...... Also...... There can be no more movement.
"I know." Emperor Mingde stretched out his hand and gently patted Xie Xie's back, "What do you think of what I just said?" Or is it that Feng Yan is classified as a princess, and this Jianghuai land is still given to them, so that Lao Qi can live in the mansion we picked for Yan Gui? ”
"Your Majesty loves Yangui, and the concubine knows." A hint of mockery flashed in Xie Xie's eyes, but she leaned on Emperor Mingde's arms, and he couldn't see it.
"The lords in the court are already very dissatisfied with Yangui, or according to what Your Majesty said before, Feng Qi His Royal Highness as King Ning, and let them still live in Kyoto."
"As for the mansion, it is still according to the previous one, whether it will be ...... to His Royal Highness the Seven" Xie Ji hesitated in her tone.
"Lao Qi is weak, Qin Tianjian once deduced his life, saying that he is not suitable for contracting a palace, so he has been living in his current residence all these years, even so, I am afraid that opening a mansion for him will be detrimental to him, but we are blessed."
"In the final analysis, it's my son who wants to rub your niece's blessings, maybe after this happy event, Lao Qi's physical condition will also improve, and you have spent a lot of thought on the mansion of Yangui, and you can't wronged him."
Emperor Mingde said so, and Xie Ji didn't say more.
Seeing her laughing again, Emperor Mingde beckoned Peng Haihai to come forward and said a few words to him.
Half an hour later, the will came out of the palace, and the relationship between Xie Yangui and Zhou Jin was officially decided.
As the holy decree became known to everyone, the Shanggong Bureau soon took people to Zhou Jin's residence and replaced the furnishings in the residence as much as possible.
In addition, there were palace people left to serve by Zhou Jin's side, and one of the palace people was the little yellow door entrusted by Xie Yangui to deliver ice cubes and snacks.
There was also fresh fruit on the table in the room, and the ice cubes in the corner were placed according to Zhou Jin's intentions, which also ensured that the room would not be too uncomfortable.
On the other side, Xie Yangui received the will and ordered the book to be rewarded.
After sending off the people in the palace, she spread out the holy decree and read it again, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Girl, Your Majesty really let the seven ...... Let King Ning move to our house? Yu Shu leaned over and asked with some uncertainty.
"See for yourself." Xie Yangui stuffed the holy decree to her, and sat down on the side, "Your Majesty really doesn't like Zhou Jin. ”
Although Zhou Jin was the first person to be crowned king among the princes of Emperor Mingde, the word "Ning" sounds good, but if you study it carefully, it is far more than the meaning of peace and stability.
For them, the word 'Ning' is more like a warning to them to stay in Kyoto in peace and not to cause trouble.
Nowadays, there is no owner of the East Palace, and all the princes can stay in Kyoto after marriage, but each has a special mansion.
Although Zhou Jin was crowned king, he was going to move to his wife's mansion, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it?
This also makes it even clearer to others that any of the princes can become the East Palace, but his Seventh Highness will not succeed in the next week.
"Well, our mansion is decorated by my aunt, and it is very comfortable to live in, if anyone dares to laugh at him when he turns around......"
"Girl, if someone laughs at my uncle, I'll take a knife and call him grandma!" Yu Hua on the side took the words, and the knife in his hand was pushed to the ground, which was a pit.
"Ouch, you tap, the ground is cracking!" Xie Yangui shook his head helplessly, and Yu Hua looked down, scratching his head and laughing.
"Girl, although I asked King Ning to move to your residence, the fief that His Majesty chose for King Ning is good." Yu Shu put away the holy decree, held it in his hand, and said to Xie Yangui.
Xie Yangui laughed, but it wasn't funny.
Although the land of Jianghuai mentioned in the will is not as rich as Jiangnan and Yangzhou, it is indeed a good fief.
But the problem is that the Jianghuai River is close to the river, and the river is easy to flood during the rainy season.
Normally, if you catch a succession of rainy days, maybe for a month or two, then it will be extremely humid and the winter will be even more humid and cold.
Xie Yangui is a person who practices martial arts, not to mention the harsh environment in northern Liao, but he is not afraid.
But Zhou Jin's body is weak, and the damp place is not a good place for him to recuperate, and his life is almost ......
