Chapter 1449 Give You Tea
Jiajing's brother-in-law was really worried. When Xu Jin left the palace, he actually asked Xu Jin to send Princess Yongfu away from Chenju.
Xu Jin was puzzled. It was not yet noon. Princess Yongfu didn’t need to leave in such a hurry, right? Shouldn’t the family have a meal together at a party before the New Year? In the end, even Empress Dowager Jiang did not try to keep Princess Yongfu. It’s so strange!
The emperor's words were imperial edicts. There was no room for negotiation, so Xu Jin had to act as a flower protector and sent Princess Yongfu back to the residence of dust.
The carriage was parked in front of the Chenxiamen gate. Xu Jin didn't want to go in, but the curtain of the carriage was lifted up. Princess Yongfu's personal palace maid hugged Yue and said, "The layman wanted to talk to Prince Beijing. If the prince is free, it's better to go in and sit."
Xu Jin had no choice but to instruct the guards to wait outside the door, and then followed him into the dust escape residence. When the eunuch in charge, Xia Rengui, saw Xu Jin, he hurriedly saluted respectfully and accompanied him to Ningxiu Pavilion.
Xia Rengui originally wanted to follow him to Ningxiu Pavilion, but was blocked by the female official to the head and had to leave in disappointment.
Empress Wu determined that Xu Jin and Princess Yongfu had an affair, so she sent Bi Chun to bribe Xia Rengui, trying to collect evidence of the two affair, and then used it to defeat Xu Jin. As a result, Xu Jin was leading troops outside to fight in the past two years, and Xia Rengui naturally gained nothing. At this time, when he saw Xu Jin coming to the hall the day after returning to Beijing, his mind naturally became alive.
As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed. If Xu Jin and Princess Yongfu really have an affair, they will meet again after a long separation, and they will definitely be fucked by the fire and fire. They may not be able to live in the room.
Although Xia Rengui couldn't enter Xiuning Pavilion, it didn't matter. He had already bribed a palace maid who served Princess Yongfu's daily life. If there was a situation, the palace maid would notify him as soon as possible, and then he would inform Queen Wu to catch the evildoer in bed.
Let’s talk about Xu Jin sitting in the living room of Ning Xiu Pavilion. After waiting for about half an incense stick, Princess Yongfu came out from behind and had already changed into simple home clothes. However, no matter how simple the clothes were, it could not hide her beautiful face and quiet and dignified temperament.
Two years did not seem to have left any trace on Princess Yongfu's face, but her figure became even more slim and charming. When she was quiet, she was like a bright flower shining on the water, and when she was moving, she was like a willow to support the wind.
Princess Yongfu's eyes touched Xu Jin, and she couldn't help but fly on her cheeks. She even forgot the words she had just prepared. She lowered her head embarrassedly. Her shy beauty made Xu Jin breathe tight.
"Yongfu... Is the layman doing well in the past two years?" Xu Jin asked with a light cough.
"Oh... it's okay, by the way, Yongfu wants to congratulate Prince Beijing for pacifying the Western Regions and making unparalleled military achievements." Princess Yongfu smiled and his face gradually returned to normal.
Xu Jin said modestly: "The emperor asked the emperor to be blessed, and the subordinates asked the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloody battles. This is not the result of Jin."
"Prince Beijing is too humble. Without you, the Pingxi Army would not have achieved such a brilliant record."
"Uh!" Xu Jin was very eloquent, but at this time he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was once subtle.
Princess Yongfu glanced at Xu Jin who was slightly embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said in a warm voice: "I heard that Prince Beijing had a conflict with the people from the West Factory as soon as he entered the city?"
Xu Jin said as if nothing had happened: "It's just a small matter, but I didn't expect that even Mr. Yongfu knew about it."
Princess Yongfu suddenly sighed and said, "The West Factory has caused chaos in the capital during this period. Although Yongfu has lived in simplicity, he has heard of it. Prince Beijing is deeply favored by the emperor. If he has the opportunity, he must persuade him to persuade him. Don't repeat the mistakes of his predecessors. Yongfu once politely advised the emperor, but the emperor was quite dissatisfied. He has been in power for nine years and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is booming. He is inevitably a little stubborn. Now, the court officials who dare to advise him have gone there. This may not be a blessing for the country."
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel respectful when he heard this. Although Princess Yongfu is relatively gentle in character, she is undoubtedly a woman with a wise heart and a wise heart and a treacherous woman. Jiajing has a sister who is undoubtedly a blessing, but this kid has gone too smoothly in recent years and inevitably becomes proud and complacent.
"As Mr. Yongfu said, since the emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty's national strength has been booming, with strong troops and strong territory, and the vast territory has not allowed the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This is worthy of pride and pride. However, Mr. Yongfu is still at ease. The emperor may be a little complacent, but he said that he is stubborn but not yet. Recently, the minister also mentioned the Xichang to the emperor. In fact, the emperor has realized the problem and will never make the mistakes made by his predecessors."
Yongfu nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's good. The prince's words are the most important in the emperor's heart. It is better to say one word than Yongfu's ten words. You should remind him more in the future."
Xu Jin nodded and said, "Please advise the lord to be good, this is the duty of a minister."
Princess Yongfu nodded, suddenly said with a pretty face red, "Does Prince Beijing still remember the previous appointment?"
Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood the previous appointment that Princess Yongfu pointed out and said apologetically: "When the weather gets hot after the year, I will immediately draw a second portrait of the summer time for the layman. Due to the sudden change in border wars, this matter was delayed for two years. I am really sorry."
Princess Yongfu smiled and said to herself, "I hope that the four states of the Ming Dynasty will be pacified in the next year, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. Otherwise, the prince will only be able to paint Yongfu's chicken skin and crane hair in the future."
Although Princess Yongfu said with a smile, her tone was clearly mixed with a hint of sadness and helplessness, and Xu Jin was also inexplicably melancholy when she heard it.
Princess Yongfu is two or three years older than Jiajing, so if you think about it carefully, she is already twenty-four years old this year. She is definitely an old girl in ancient times. A woman’s youth is short-lived. She has become a monk and practice for three years. Is such a beautiful woman really going to accompany the ancient Buddha in Qinglantern forever and live alone?
Princess Yongfu saw Xu Jin looking at her, and first she turned on her cheeks, then subconsciously touched her Mingyan's face and said juicyly: "Is Yongfu already old and ugly now?"
Xu Jin came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, the lay Buddhist Yongfu's eyebrows are covered with darkness, his eyes are like autumn water, his skin is as fresh as peeling fresh lychees, and his lips are better than the apricot blossoms in March. How could it be old and ugly...uh!"
After saying that, Xu Jincai was not aware of the inappropriateness and hurriedly looked at Princess Yongfu. The latter was indeed blushing and lowered his head, as if he was ashamed and annoyed. The female official next to him also frowned.
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. If you said something like this just now, there would be no problem with a modern woman, but in ancient times, you would be too frivolous and even frivolous to describe an unmarried girl in person. Not to mention that the other party was a noble Princess of the Ming Dynasty.
"Well, I... I'm sorry, if there is nothing else for the layman, Jin will say goodbye first!" After Xu Jin said that, he stood up and bowed, and slipped out of Ningxiu Pavilion as if he was running away.
"Prince Beijing stayed." The palace maid chased after Yue and handed a pack of tea that was very refined to Xu Jin and said, "The princess said thank you for the local specialties that the prince sent, and there is no way to give it back. This is the Mingqian tea that the prince picked in the imperial village this year. I will give it some for the prince to taste."
Xu Jin hurriedly took over and thanked him. Bao Yue glanced at the former, then suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "The prince is the first person to praise the princess's appearance so much."
Xu Jin secretly sweated and said embarrassedly: "I am wronged for a moment. Meng Lang is gone. Don't tell me about Miss Baoyue. Wait for me to apologize to the princess."
Bao Yue smiled and said, "It's not enough to apologize. The princess is not angry with the prince. Go, remember to take the time to paint a portrait of the princess, otherwise the princess would be really angry, after all, it has been delayed for two years."
Xu Jin bowed and walked along the Baisha Road by the lake for a while. He couldn't help but open the bag of tea and smell it. It was very fragrant and the quality was very good. Was it really picked by Princess Yongfu himself?
Xu Jin couldn't help but remember that when Princess Yongfu sent her sachet to Pingxi, she gave her a sachet, which had a peace talisman inside. The handmade sachet of the sachet was somewhat similar to the sachet that contains tea. Could it be that Princess Yongfu made it herself?
Xu Jinqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He was not a man of Lu. How could he not notice Princess Yongfu's affection for him? It was just that the identity between the two was an insurmountable gap.
"Your Majesty is leaving now?" The general manager Xia Rengui couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw Xu Jin leaving so quickly, but when he saw the tea in Xu Jin's hand, his eyes lit up again.
Xu Jin naturally didn't understand Xia Rengui's evil intentions, so he nodded and said, "When I returned to Beijing, I brought back some local specialties, and there were all noble people in the palace. The mansion on Yongfu will be sent to you next door later. Please ask General Manager Xia to arrange for someone to accept it."
Xia Rengui smiled and said, "Prince Beijing is really intent. I thanked the prince for the princess."
Xu Jin and Xia Rengui exchanged some casual greetings and left Yuchenju, but did not return to the opposite Xu Mansion. They just sent Erniu back to inform Xiaowan and went straight to the Fei Mansion. Yesterday, they agreed to visit their mentor Fei Hong today. In addition, Hanlin had to discuss Ouyang De's affairs with the Fei brothers as soon as possible.
If it was just a matter of "big-character poster", Xu Jin asked himself that he could save Ouyang De, but now that it was involved in "anti-poetry", it would be difficult to save him. Bi Chun, the dead eunuch, would never let him go easily, so he had to make detailed plans.
Let’s talk about Xia Rengui sending Xu Jin away, and immediately sent the young eunuch Pan Sheng to the palace to report to Empress Wu. Although he was regretful that he did not "catch the offender in bed" this time, the fact that Xu Jin and Princess Yongfu had an affair was almost certain.
Because Xia Rengui recognized that the one Xu Jin was holding when he left was the Ming Dynasty tea that Princess Yongfu personally picked this year, and even the emperor couldn't ask for it. As a result, Princess Yongfu was willing to give it to Xu Jin. If there was no affair between the two, hehe, I'm afraid even the ghost wouldn't believe it!
