Chapter 1078 The Change of Empress Wu
On the fifth day of the October 10th, in the early morning, the sky that had been hazy for several days finally cleared. The light snow the day before yesterday had already melted without a trace. Several early plum blossoms were blooming against the morning sun by the pond, and the faint fragrance blew into the window curtain with the morning breeze, refreshing the heart.
While tying Xu Jin's belt, Xie Xiaowan told softly: "It's only snowing a few days ago. It must be muddy and slippery outside the city. My husband should be careful when walking, so don't fall."
Xu Jin reached out and shaved Xie Xiaowan's nose lightly, and smiled and said, "Save it, my husband is not a three-year-old child."
"My husband thinks that they are long-winded, so they won't talk about it in the future." Xie Xiaowan said annoyed.
Xu Jin stretched out his hand and hugged Xie Xiaowan's slender waist, hugged her in his arms, while rubbing his face and his ears, and said numbly: "How is it possible? I don't know how much I like my good wife chatting in my ears. My wife's voice is simply a sound of a fairy. Even if I listen to her for eight lifetimes, I will not be bored."
Yue'er, who was coming in with a washbasin, burst out laughing. Xie Xiaowan immediately blushed and struggled out of her husband's arms, but her heart was sweet.
Yue'er put down the washbasin, twisted a towel to wipe Xu Jin's face, and teased, "It turns out that the master has rinsed his mouth with oil. Now just wash his face, and rinsed his mouth and avoided the oil in his mouth."
Xu Jin raised his hand and slapped Yue'er's pig, and the latter exaggeratedly and exaggeratedly, with his charming eyes coming out of his eyes.
Mr. Xu said righteously: "How dare you tease me, little maid, how can you not serve me?"
"Madam, the master bullies me!" Yue'er raised her tone and complained.
Xie Xiaowan gave Xu Jin a blank look and poked Yue'er's forehead lightly and said, "Come on, you little hoof are afraid you are so fond of it."
Yue'er snorted: "Damn it, I know to look at her own man."
Xie Xiaowan acted like to admire her and Yue'er giggled.
By the way, Yue'er was the first to serve Xie Xiaowan. After ten years of getting along, she shared life and death. The two were like sisters. As a dowry maid who had a family, Yue'er was actually equivalent to Xu Jin's concubine, but she had just lost her status for the time being.
It is precisely because she is favored by the master and has a good relationship with her wife, otherwise, even if Xie Xiaowan, the mistress, would not dare to joke so casually.
Mr. Xu finished washing up under the service of his beautiful wife and maid, and used breakfast to go out. Today he wanted to take a "customer" out of the city to see the house, such as without agency fees.
Xie Xiaowan tied Xu Jin with a big command and sighed: "What a great person, Your Highness Yongfu, why did you end up like this now? God is really unfair. You must be more attentive in building Taoist temples. It would be even better if you could persuade Your Highness Yongfu to change your mind."
Fei Ruyi also said regretfully: "Your Highness Yongfu is kind-hearted and has kindness to our family. If Princess Yongfu had not helped her last time, Xiaowan would not be able to go to the Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo Prison to meet you. Your husband will definitely persuade her if he meets Princess Yongfu later."
Fei Jixiang sorted out the collars for Xu Jin and smiled and said, "You are good at speaking and distinguishing yourself without any hindrance. It should not be difficult to convince Your Highness Yongfu."
"I'll do my best!" Xu Jin smiled bitterly. Huang Jin revealed that Princess Yongfu has shaved her hair now and has such a decisive attitude. It's not easy to persuade her to give up the idea of becoming a monk!
Chu Xia pouted and said angrily: "Why can a man have three wives and four concubines? A woman can only die from one end. If a woman dies, she blames her for not being lucky. If a man dies, she blames her for her life to defeat her husband. It's really unfair."
"Shut up!" Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang almost shouted in unison. As feudal women, the education they received since childhood was to follow the three and four virtues. It is natural for the husband to be the wife to be the rule of their wife. So Chuxia said this very rebelliously. Women do not follow the same path. Do you still want three husbands and four kings?
Chuxia's girl was straightforward and just spoke for Princess Yongfu and said nothing at the moment. At this time, she was inappropriate and couldn't help but have a pretty face turned pale. She knelt on the ground: "I'm talking nonsense, please punish her master and wife."
Xu Jin glanced at the three wives with frost on their faces and couldn't help but sweat secretly. As a time traveler, he didn't think that Chuxia's sentence was wrong. However, after all, it is not a modern society where men and women have equal rights. He still has to follow the local customs, so he coughed lightly and said, "Get up, I'll spare you this time, but I won't be the case."
"Master Xie, Chuxia dare not!" The pretty maid stood up nervously.
Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi looked at each other helplessly. They had long expected that this would be the case. Their husband was so approachable that the servants at home were a little "lawless". But then they thought, isn't it because of their husband's conscience that deeply attracted them?
"Dude, please set off quickly, don't let Your Highness Yongfu wait for a long time." Xie Xiaowan urged softly.
Xu Jin nodded and turned around and walked forward.
Seeing her husband walking away with a tall back, Xie Xiaowan turned around and said lightly: "Chuxia, I dare not speak so much in the future. That is, in our family, if someone else's family changes, even if you don't drive you out of the mansion, there will be a lot of punishment."
Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang nodded deeply. They came from a scholarly family with a rigorous family style, and their thoughts were naturally more traditional than Xie Xiaowan. The husband was approachable and not pretending to be arrogant, but he could not indulge his subordinates too much. It seems that he had to make efforts to rectify his family style. Now his husband is a dignified prince, so how can he do without any superiors and inferiors?
Let’s talk about Xu Jin coming to the front yard, the carriage was already ready, and sixteen large-sleeved and round-waisted servants were waiting, and the leader was Zhao Datou.
Although Xu Jin is no longer in Shenji Camp, it is normal for the dignified Duke to be equipped with more than ten guards. Zhao Datou and other sixteen guards of Shenji Camp were the guards assigned to Xu Jin by Jiajing's permission. They are still in the Shenji Camp, but they are usually responsible for Xu Jin's safety. They live in Xu Mansion, which is equivalent to the guards of the Duke's Mansion.
Xu Jin got on the carriage, walked towards the palace under the escort of Zhao Datou and others, and walked around half a circle to outside Xi'an Gate. He revealed his identity and went straight into the palace.
To pick up Princess Yongfu out of the palace, she naturally had to say hello to her mother first, so Xu Jin came to Cining Palace first to ask for a meeting with Empress Dowager Jiang, but she met Empress Wu who had just come out to greet her.
"My memory, Xu Jin, I have seen the Empress!" Xu Jin bowed and bowed.
Queen Wu glanced at Xu Jin coldly and said indifferently: "Why did Duke Jingguo ask for the Empress Dowager?"
Xu Jin knew that the lord of the harem had never liked him, and the emperor was now circling around Zhier all day long, so Empress Wu was even more angry, so she replied in a humble and arrogant manner: "The emperor ordered me to build a Taoist temple for Princess Yongfu. I came to ask the Queen Mother and the Princess for their opinions."
A strange light flashed in Queen Wu's eyes, and she nodded and said, "So that's it. Since the emperor handed over this job to Duke Jingguo, it shows that the emperor's trust in Duke Jingguo. Duke Jingguo must do his best to do his job well and not let down the emperor's trust."
"I should do my best to do my best to do my job for the emperor, and I respectfully send you the Empress!" Xu Jin said lightly, and moved his sideways to the side to make a way out. The meaning is very obvious, that is, to let Queen Wu disappear quickly, and don't pretend to be a stubborn person here to waste everyone's time.
The anger appeared in Queen Wu's eyes, but it soon disappeared again. She walked straight by Xu Jin and left with a gust of fragrant wind.
Xu Jin frowned. It seemed that this yellow-haired girl who had no IQ or EQ online at the time had grown up. She was so cunning that she could at least resist being angry. At this time, Xu Jin couldn't help but remembered another thing. Before, several eunuchs in Yanqi Palace had privately discussed the government affairs, but they happened to be heard by the emperor, and then they all committed suicide fearing the crime. After that, Chu Cairen, who was originally favored, was neglected by Jiajing to shelve.
Although Xu Jin could not know what the eunuchs were talking about, judging from the time nodes and Jiajing's reaction at that time, it should be related to him, because the focus of the court at that time was whether to take back his throne of Duke.
It is undeniable that it is not impossible for a few insignificant eunuchs to discuss the government in private, but it is too coincidental that the emperor heard it, and it is just heard from the favored Chu Cairen, which is even more intriguing.
Moreover, Jiajing did not arrest anyone at that time, but he sent guards to arrest him the next day. Obviously, he realized that this was abnormal afterwards. It can be seen that the young eunuchs were instructed by others. Unfortunately, they all died and there was no evidence of death. Jiajing had to give up, but Chu Cairen lost the emperor's favor because of this.
In Xu Jin's opinion, if those little eunuchs were indeed instructed, they would never be Chu Cairen. A woman who had just entered the palace did not have the ability or courage, not to mention that she was a victim from beginning to end.
Then it is very likely that the instructor is Empress Wu, and with this woman's jealous personality, she can do it. Of course, there is nothing absolute. In addition to Empress Wu, there are Concubine Shu and Concubine De in the harem. It is normal for the concubines in the harem to compete for favor among the concubines in the harem.
Xu Jin couldn't help but think of the sudden miscarriage of Concubine Shu, and couldn't help but shivering cleverly. If Zhier really entered the palace in the future, it would probably not be a good thing. Although this girl is skillful, her mental age is still in her teens. She is very simple, and she is afraid that she will count the money for her if she is sold.
While Xu Jin was thinking, an old eunuch walked out of the Cining Palace, and it was Hu Dahai.
"Dude Jingguo is here, our house is polite!" Hu Dahai bowed to Xu Jin without a smile.
"Eunuch Hu is polite, Empress Dowager..."
"The Empress Dowager asked Duke Jingguo to speak in it. Duke Jingguo, please please inside!" Hu Dahai said.
