Wang Jin said to Yunxi: "Your Highness, today is the seventh day that the Grand Concubine has entered the palace. Why doesn't Your Highness leave the palace affairs of Wenhua Palace to the Queen?"
In fact, it is very inappropriate for a slave to say such a thing, but Yunxi has always trusted Wang Jin, and this matter has caused a lot of discussion in the Wenhua Palace. It will not be good for Wang Jin if others expose it in the future, so Wang Jin just said it.
this matter.
Yunxi slapped his head and said, "Let me tell you, I really wanted to forget something, but I actually forgot about this. When I get back, I will tell Xiyao that she will handle the palace affairs from tomorrow on."
After a pause, Yunxi asked again: "Why did you mention this matter?" Wang Jin was never talkative, and Yunxi wanted to know why he would take the initiative to mention this matter this time.
Wang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, you don't know that there has been a lot of discussion in Wenhua Palace and even other palaces. It has been seven days since His Highness married the Taisun Concubine into the palace but he has not handed over the palace affairs. Many people think that His Highness is responsible for
Concubine Taisun was dissatisfied. Yesterday Yang Feng secretly asked me if this was the case, and he also said that the Xue family was planning to plead guilty."
Yunxi was surprised. He didn't expect that something he accidentally forgot would have such a big impact, and even affect the outer court. It seems that he will have to be cautious about everything in the future.
Yunxi patted Wang Jin on the shoulder, said nothing, and immediately asked him to go down. Then he walked out of the side hall and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion.
When Yunxi returned to the dormitory, Xiyao had prepared dinner just like the previous two days. Yunxi and Xiyao sat together to eat as usual. In addition, Xiyao saw that Yunxi was unwilling to eat during the past two days.
Someone was waiting on him, and the table was cleared after he finished eating, so he sent all the maids away.
Yunxi was very satisfied with Xiyao. And although she was still young, Yunxi felt that she had a similar temperament to Concubine Guo Ning, who was actually in charge of the harem affairs, and could manage the palace affairs well.
So after chatting for a while, Yunxi said: "Xiyao, you are already my concubine. From now on, you will be in charge of the palace affairs of Wenyuan Pavilion."
Of course Xiyao was happy. Although she had no other expression of happiness except the flash of joy on her face, she replied in a normal tone: "Yes, Your Highness." But the happiness in her heart could not be suppressed. Even
When they were making out in the evening, Yunxi felt that Xiyao seemed to be more enthusiastic.
The next day, on May 15th, Xiyao's sister Xue Xiyi entered the palace. Xue Xiyi was a side concubine, so the ceremony was simple, so Yunxi didn't have to go through it again. After Xue Xiyi entered the palace, he took her to worship at the Fengxian Hall, so he didn't have to go.
Report to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Then Xue Xiyi entered Wenyuan Pavilion. Yunxi and Xiyao were sitting in the main hall. Xue Xiyi first bowed to Yunxi and then to Xiyao. However, because the princess was her biological sister, it was not like when she went to the front hall.
So nervous.
After the salute was completed, Yunxi knew that when their sisters met, they must want to talk in private, so he smiled and said: "I have something else to do, you sisters can chat among yourselves." After that, he went out.
Yunxi walked to Dongnuang Pavilion, where Lian Zining was.
Lian Zining smiled and said, "Why are you here today, Your Highness?"
Yunxi knew what he meant and said with a smile: "I have been wasting so many days. I can't waste any more time. This is the moment." After saying that, Yunxi sat down on his seat and began to read the book.
After Yunxi took over the Ming Dynasty for a short period of time, although he no longer needed the assistance of subordinate officials, he still formed the habit of having Qi Tai and others sort the excerpts into categories and write an introduction before giving them to Yunxi.
.So Yunxi’s reading speed has improved a lot.
After a while, before noon, Yunxi finished reading the book. Thinking that he was going to travel next month, he asked Lian Zining: "Lian Qing, next month Gu is planning to go on a tour of the north. Have you come up with the regulations? ?”
Lian Zining put down what he was doing and said: "Your Highness, these Tianchen, Qi Tai, Geng Xuan and others have planned to go on patrol in mid-June, and they will have to complete all the itinerary when they come back at the end of November. It's not easy; Your Highness also said that you want to go on an 'in-depth tour', and His Majesty also asked you to go to Sanqin, which is very difficult to arrange the itinerary. Not to mention that Your Highness may not be able to leave on time."
Yunxi asked: "Why can't it be completed?"
It happened that Zhang Shu and Guo Zhen walked in at this time, and Lian Zining said: "Let Guo Zhen do the talking. Guo Zhen is handling these." He also told Guo Zhen what Yunxi asked again.
Guo Zhen said: "Your Highness, you must first go to Fengyang, then Sizhou, and meet with the local chiefs and elders. This will take at least ten days; then you will have to go to Henan to see His Royal Highness the King of Zhou; and then you will have to see His Majesty the King of Zhou in Shandong. His Highness the King of Qi; His Highness the King of Yan can be seen in Peiping, and His Highness the King of Ning and His Highness the King of Liao are also available in the northeast."
"His Majesty Xiangxi asked His Highness Prince Gu to go with him, but he had to stay in Xuan Mansion for a few days. When he passed the mountains in Sanqin, there was King Jin, His Highness Dai Wang. Then he went to Xi'an, where the King of Qin was stationed, and then summoned the kings of the northwest. , and it took a long time. Then from Xi'an to Huguang, there are His Highness the King of Xiang and the King of Chu. Even if we take a boat from Wuchang all the way down the river, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the capital in November."
It’s not that I don’t know, but I was shocked. Only then did Yunxi clearly know how many people he had to meet. These were just the princes. Yunxi wanted to stay in various places for a few more days to understand the actual situation among the people, so he was even more worried. The trip may be completed.
Yunxi thought about it and felt that the Yangtze River line was more convenient, while the northern region was far away. He might not be able to go to the north again before his crown prince grew up, so he decided to cancel the plan to patrol in Huguang.
He said: "I will not go to Huguang. When I go, I will go directly to Shandong from Sizhou. In the northeast, I will only go to Shanhaiguan. Let Uncle Ning and Uncle Wang of Liao come to Luanzhou Prefecture. When I come back from Sanqin, I will go to Henan. I have met Zhou Dynasty. The queen went south from Kaifeng to Xiangyang and asked the King of Xiang and the King of Chu to meet me in Xiangyang. Then he took a boat back to Beijing from Xiangyang."
"If you add up the total, if you travel on June 16, how much time will you have after excluding these and the time on the road?"
Guo Zhen said: "Your Highness has saved some things, and I guess you will have some spare time. I will figure it out later."
Yunxi said: "You can sum it up in the past two days, and I will discuss it with you in two days."
It was already noon, so Yunxi returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, after Yunxi went out, Xiyao also hurriedly sent all the maids out. When there were only two of her sisters in the palace, her younger sister Xiyi sat next to her elder sister and asked curiously: "Sister, these days How are you doing in the palace? My mother came back with news that you are doing well. This is not what you said to comfort my mother."
Xiyao hugged her younger sister Xiyi and said: "Your Highness is very kind to me. It's not that I am comforting my mother. I thought the palace was a shady place, but everything is fine. Because many people say that Your Highness is quite He is strict and not partial to personal interests. I thought he would be cold to me, but it was not like that. Your Majesty and Concubine Ning are also very kind."
"No matter how much I say, you won't be able to imagine it. Once you stay in the palace for a few more days, get along with His Highness for a few days, and meet His Majesty and Concubine Ning, you will know."
The worried thing has passed but I won't tell my sister.
Xiyi patted her chest and said, "That's good, I won't worry anymore."
Then she asked again: "By the way, mother asked me to ask you: Did Your Highness do that thing with you?"
Xiyao blushed and said softly: "I've done it."
Xiyi asked curiously: "What exactly is 'that thing' that mother told you about?"
How could Xiyao answer? He asked, "Didn't mother tell you?"
Xiyi said: "My mother took out some book to teach me, but it was just two villains fighting naked, which is not the same thing as what you talked about mysteriously."
Xiyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiyi was the same age as her, but she came out a little later, but she always felt as if she was carrying a sister who was many years younger.
Xiyao was too embarrassed to answer directly, and said with a blush, "You will know in the evening."
Xiyi has been getting along with her sister for a long time, and when she saw her saying this, she knew that she would not answer if she asked again, so she could only drop the topic and change it to something else.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and Xiyao said: "We sisters have been chatting for a long time. There will be time to chat in the future, not at this moment. Let the palace maid take off your makeup first, then put on your normal clothes, and then my sister will take you
Go to your bedroom." He said, clapped his hands, and the maids waiting outside the palace came in to remove Xiyi's makeup and change clothes.
By the time Yunxi returned to Wenyuan Pavilion at noon, Xiyao and Xiyi had already returned to the dining place, waiting for Yunxi to come back to eat. Xiyao saw that Yunxi had returned and hurriedly asked the maids to serve food.
.
Yunxi sat down on the main seat, looked at his wife and concubines, and felt very excited: the life of being hugged by his co-sleepers was finally about to begin! Especially now that Xiyi had taken off her heavy makeup and put on light makeup.
From now on, he looks almost exactly like Xiyao, which makes Yunxi have all kinds of evil thoughts in his heart.
Yunxi hurriedly suppressed his thoughts. It was only noon and it was inappropriate. He patted the seats on his left and right. Xiyao blushed and pulled her sister Xiyi to sit on the left and right sides of Yunxi respectively.
Yunxi couldn't do anything in broad daylight with so many palace maids and eunuchs watching from a few meters away. He just said a few words to Xiyi to comfort her, and didn't say much. The princess was her biological sister, and she didn't need him.
comfort.
Yunxi naturally stayed in Xiyi's side hall at night. Since he had broken the body of a girl under the age of fourteen, he didn't care about another one. But Yunxi was still embarrassed to have a two-parter with sisters.
The next day, Yunxi and Xiyao took Xiyi to visit Lao Zhu. Next to Lao Zhu was Concubine Guo Ning. Lao Zhu received Xiyi in a kind manner and even allowed Xiyao to stay aside without going out.
After Lao Zhu had finished interviewing Xiyi, he asked Yunxi to come see him. Yunxi told Xiyao to take Xiyi back first and walk into the East Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.
