Wen Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a roar in his head. He, who had always been stingy in granting honors, actually wanted to give her a title now that he had missed out on foreign aid, his internal ministers were dissatisfied with him, and Wen Guang was gaining momentum!
It was undeniable that he, who had refused to give her a status for many years, was suddenly willing to give her a status, which was very tempting. She almost thought that she would never hear him say such a thing in this life.
However, she did not have the courage to throw herself into his arms at this moment, causing him to be impeached by the ministers and bear the infamy of being lustful and stupid. She also did not have the courage to hurt Jiang Huaizhou, whom she agreed to marry, until his body was covered with bruises.
"Concubine." Fu Jingheng tightened his hands, "At this moment, I...have tried my best."
Wen Jin couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. She tried her best to make her realize that he had to fight against the criticism of many people before he could carry her, the daughter of his father-killing enemy, into the palace. However, she could not let him suffer criticism.
She used to hope for a status, but now he is willing to give it to her, but she doesn't dare to ask for it.
It turned out that he had raised her in the inner courtyard of the palace, and she had the gentlest way of getting along with him.
"If you nod, you don't have to go back to Jiang Mansion to drink black chicken soup with Jiang Qing. Come home with me, and I'll make soup for you." Fu Jingheng stretched out his hand towards Wen Jin, "How about going home? I haven't been here for more than three months."
It’s almost Chinese New Year, why don’t you go home? Not even the grandma who raised us?”
Wen Jin looked at Fu Jingheng's outstretched hand and almost handed her hand over, desperately returning to him and becoming the canary that was pampered in the dragon's bed, but she pinched her own hand and endured it.
I was afraid that if I took one wrong step, I would make the same mistake again and be shattered into pieces.
"Thank you for your love. Wen Jin has promised to marry Jiang Qing in the next year, and he has introduced Wen Jin to all his relatives and friends. Wen Jin is not going back on his words, and he cannot be embarrassed by those who care about his kindness.
Please understand, Your Majesty."
Fu Jingheng raised the corner of his mouth, "I would rather be a minister's wife than a king's concubine. That's your style. Between the two of us, you are more cruel, Su Wenjin."
Wen Jin turned away her cheeks and did not reveal her heartfelt humility, "It's not that I'm cruel. It's that I am no longer brave for you."
At this time, Mo Gan's voice sounded outside, "Your Majesty, from the Ministry of War and the Military Aircraft Department, many veteran generals gathered outside the imperial study room to ask to see you. I'm afraid that just now you let Wen Guang go and missed the foreign aid of Crown Prince Daying.
Old General Lou impeaches you and remonstrates with you for the sake of your face, and uses his loyal words to dissuade you!"
"Here we come." When Fu Jingheng heard the sound, he stretched out his hand in front of Wen Jin and retracted his hand that had been held for a long time. There was a strong look of hurt in his eyes.
Even though she gave birth to his child, she must have hated him. After all, he once suspected that she was Xiao Zuo who repeatedly retaliated against her by making her kneel down to welcome Xue Ning and humiliating her. He touched the top of Wen Jin's hair.
"Go ahead, don't keep Xiao Jiang waiting. Take care of Si Jin. We'll talk about it when we have time."
After saying that, Fu Jingheng opened the heavy door of the bathroom and let Wenjin go out first.
Wen Jin went out first.
Fu Jingheng then came out and went with Lao Mo to the Imperial Study Room to meet with the ministers and settle their grievances.
Wen Jin looked at Fu Jingheng's back and saw his loneliness. He obviously had so many concubines, trusted ministers, and his expectant wife Duanmu. He should have been the most in need of company, but why was he so lonely?
?
Duanmufu waited in the lounge for a long time, so he went out to look for her. He saw that your Majesty and Wen Jin were coming out of the bathroom. He couldn't help but feel jealous and angry. For Sister Wen's sake, your Majesty even forgot to listen to her fetal movement!
Duanmufu came to Wen Jin and said, "Sister Wen, can you stop embarrassing me? If it weren't for you, your Majesty could have removed Wen Guang from the post of director of the Imperial Academy today."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty has been friends with Crown Prince Daying for three months. There was great hope of getting military reinforcements, but as soon as you came, you took away Crown Prince Daying's soul for your adoptive father!"
"Why are you going against Junshang? What good will it do to you if Junshang steps down? After all, you have had a good time before, why are you so careless about your old relationship!"
Wen Jin ignored Duanmu Fu, feeling that it was a waste of words to say another word. As if he had not seen Duanmu Fu, he simply ignored him and walked out of the corridor.
Duanmufu's teeth hurt from Wen Jin's natural arrogance, "What the hell! She's not polite, she doesn't even answer what others say!"
In a blink of an eye, Duanmufu saw Jiang Huaizhou not far away. He must have also seen the king and Wen Jin coming out of the bathroom, so he walked closer and whispered: "You and I met in private once. It seems that we have agreed.
Each of you should take care of your own people and don't bother with the other's people! Why do you allow your woman to seduce my husband-in-law!"
Jiang Huaizhou kept a polite distance from Duanmu Fu, "If you don't come to trouble Jin'er, my Jin'er will not provoke you. I have taken care of my people. You seem to be unable to control yours."
people."
"You!" Duanmufu was speechless, "Your Majesty will not pester her!"
"That's best." Jiang Huaizhou stopped talking to Duanmu Fu and went straight with Wen Jin.
Duanmu Fu felt aggrieved, so he went straight to Hanshan, and knelt pitifully outside the door of his mother, the Empress Dowager, kneeling but not speaking.
The Empress Dowager helped the man up and said, "Fu'er, you can't kneel much because you're pregnant. You look worried, what's going on?"
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Fu'er is worried about your Majesty...worried about Your Majesty..."
"Worried about Heng'er? What's wrong with Heng'er? Please speak slowly and completely."
"Today, Sister Wenjin made a mistake and met with Your Majesty in the Imperial College. It seemed like there was internal fighting in her family and her younger brother was framed by her stepmother. She insulted her mistress as a prostitute in the street, kicked her in the heart, and kicked the Imperial College regardless of the overall situation.
, harming everyone's interests and obstructing the Holy Exam. It caused chaos in the world! Then...then..." He stopped and refused to say any more, looking at his mother, the Queen Mother.
"The Ai family has always thought that Jin'er is knowledgeable and courteous, so how can she act so nonsense?! She kicked the imperial exam hall and called her stepmother a...whore in public?" Xia Ranshuang raised her forehead, "Then what?
have?"
"Then, instead of punishing her and taking the opportunity to weaken Wen Guang, your Majesty helped Wen Jin come forward and punished the whole family of General Lou, causing General Lou, Prime Minister Xue, and Queen Mother Lou to give Wen Jin's younger brother an eight-year-old son in public.
Young child, apologize in public! All the veterans in your team are very dissatisfied and are collectively admonishing you! What should I do, mother and queen, your Majesty...Will something happen to him?" Duanmufu was extremely worried.
"There is no need for Empress Dowager Lou to apologize to others. She has a bad character. She should be punished by Heng'er." Xia Ranshuang pondered, "How could she be so stupid as to have an internal quarrel with a trusted minister! He really has no future! If the literary thieves saw that he was internally quarreling.
, seize the opportunity to force the palace...how to get it!"
"Wen Jin took advantage of the situation and attracted Nangong Jue on behalf of his adoptive father! Your Majesty missed the foreign aid! Your Majesty is in crisis! Sister Wenjin...she doesn't care about her old friendship. Is she taking revenge on you and your Majesty..."
Duanmufu asked simply.
Xia Ranshuang looked unhappy, twirling her beads, and said for a long time: "Aijia, it's time to go down to Hanshan and return to the palace! Aijia is not with Heng'er, and he lacks care and care, which makes some girls coax him around with kind words.
Got it!"

On the way back to Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Liu sighed with emotion, "Oh, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many thieves who kidnap and traffic children! Today, two men were so coveted that they were so scared that I didn't dare to get out of the carriage to get some air!"
Wen Jin wondered if the two suspicious men were Jun Shang and Lao Mo. "I will arrange bodyguards when I go out next time... I thought the entrance to the Imperial College would be safe."
Jiang Huaizhou said nothing and took Wen Jin home to eat Wen Jin's turkey soup made by his old mother.
Wen Jin was absent-minded while eating chicken soup. Jiang's mother chatted with her, and she became distracted several times while listening.
Mother Jiang was worried that her blunder might offend her son's beloved son, so she didn't say much, but quietly put on Wen Jin's hand a jade bracelet that was only passed down to her daughter-in-law in the Jiang family. "Good Jin'er, this jade bracelet is
I have worn it for more than twenty years, and now I give it to you."
"Well... Auntie can't do it, it's too expensive." Wen Jin refused.
Jiang Huaizhou said softly: "Repent?"
"No..." Wen Jin was shocked, feeling the pressure, and finally dropped the soup bowl and her hands were burned red. She didn't feel any pain, but it was inconvenient to say that she didn't want the bracelet.
Mother Jiang said carefully: "I've also asked someone to take care of the wedding room where you got married. You have time to see if you like it. If not, I'll ask someone to change it. We will get married in the old house, and you two will go out to live together after the marriage.
It’s okay for the young couple to have a sweet time.”
Wen Jin held her lips and said with a smile, "Well, you make the decision."
-Su Wenjin, are you willing to be my concubine?-
-Come home with me, I will make soup for you.-
-How about going home? It's been more than three months and it's almost the Chinese New Year. Are you still not going home? -
"My hands are hot!" Jiang Huaizhou hurriedly pulled Wenjin to wash his hands with cold water.
Wen Jin was washed by cold water, and the coldness gradually brought her back to her senses. She said with red eyes: "Jiang, I want to go home..."
When Jiang Huaizhou saw Wen Jin's eyes were red, he thought her hand had been burned. He didn't know that home was referring to the Long Bedroom where she and the king lived together, and thought home meant Xue Mansion, so he said, "Okay, I'll take you back to Xue Mansion."
During the past two days, Wen Jin spent the day at Xue Mansion taking care of her grandma, accompanying Yu Zhen Baoyin to review and prepare for the exam, and then copied the school motto.
She went to Liu's house to take care of Sijin at night. Her own mood was greatly affected by Fu Jingheng's concubine, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
If she takes this step, she will work with Duanmu, Xue Ning, Zhou Baolin, and a dozen other little girls, scheming in the inner palace, and she will not be happy. She hesitates but yearns for it.
The hesitation is because I don't want to count the palace lanterns every day and guess what palace he is doing with whom. The yearning is because if she is your concubine, he will also be her husband-in-law.
At the same time, Wen Jin also thought about Fu Jingheng's situation after he went to the Imperial Study Room, and how those old officials would remonstrate and impeach the young emperor. He was only twenty-five years old, and she watched him step by step to get to where he is today. She never expected that he would never
He, who would influence his political career for anything, actually fell into a big trouble because of her.
Every time I see the ancestral jade bracelet given by Mother Chiang on my wrist, I feel like I am stepping on two boats...and my head hurts.
In the backyard, Xue Xiang and Lou Shucai had been arguing for two days because Lou Shucai's mother and son were embarrassed in front of the emperor and the child would never be allowed to take the official examination. Lou Shucai was desperate and asked the master to find a way to meet the emperor and let the child go to the Imperial College.
Prime Minister Xue ignored him and only said that he had no shame to beg the emperor. Lou Shucai pushed Prime Minister Xue onto the Prime Minister's bed, pressed him down and kissed him on his face and neck, intending to solve the problem on the bed and make the Prime Minister submit.
Xue Xiang couldn't hide and was not in the mood, so he became more and more upset. He brushed the person away, took some clothes with him, walked around to the front yard, knocked on the door, and said to Wen Jin who opened the door: "Jin'er, why?
Can father come and stay in the front yard for a few days?"
