"Brother, sister-in-law." When Yunxi came to the dining hall with Xu Miaojin in his arms, Yunzhi was already waiting inside. When she saw the two of them walking in, she hurriedly greeted them.
"Yunzhi, you were already here waiting before the food was served, right? It's like you were reincarnated as a starving ghost." Yunxi said with a smile.
Yunzhi knew that he was joking, and was not annoyed when he heard this. She said with a smile: "Brother Huang once said a saying that my sister thinks is very good. People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry. Since my sister can't eat grains, of course she can eat.
I can’t help but be active.”
"You always have something to say." Yunxi smiled and sat next to her. He turned to Wang Gong and said, "Have the dishes been served?"
"It's all here."
"Then please step aside. You don't have to wait here anymore. You have followed me from Yiwu to Ganzhou City these days. You have worked hard. Go and have a good rest. I don't need you to serve me until early tomorrow morning."
Yunxi said to Wang Gong.
"I thank the official for your kindness. But I am not tired and can still serve the emperor." Wang Gong said immediately.
"Okay, I know your heart, but it really doesn't have to be like this. Go down and rest." Seeing that Wang Gong wanted to say something more, he said in a more serious tone: "This is my will."
"Yes, official, I will leave now." Wang Gong heard what Yun Xi said and hurriedly bowed and left.
"Husband, do you want him to return to Beijing?" Xu Miaojin asked softly.
"Well." Yunxi said: "I decided to call him back to the palace. There are more and more things in the palace. Wang Xi's ability was limited, but now he can no longer control it. I can only find other people to take charge of some things.
And among these eunuchs, they are the only ones I can use. As for the mistakes we made before, we are not saints, so who can have no mistakes? Let it go."
Five years ago, in the first year of Jianye, Xiyao exposed that three of the four most trusted eunuchs at the time were involved in corruption. Yunxi was very angry at the time, and finally decided to deprive Wang Jin and Wang Bu of their jobs and expel Wang Gong.
Palace. But five years later, Yunxi decided to re-enable them.
After five years of experience, he has become more and more mature and has a clearer understanding of his purpose as emperor: to maintain rule and to reform the Ming Dynasty while maintaining rule. As long as the ministers do things that do not violate these two
Therefore, although the small corruption case that made him furious five years ago was still unacceptable five years later, he was able to deal with it calmly, and he was able to choose the lesser of two evils and re-enable Wang
Kudos to them.
"My husband is really as broad-minded as the sea." Xu Miaojin said with a smile.
Yunxi smiled and was about to speak when he heard Yunzhi say: "Brother, sister-in-law, if you have anything else to do, please wait until after dinner. How can we be distracted and think about other things when we are having delicious food."
"Brother, I didn't delay your meal. You eat first and don't worry about me."
"How can that be done! If the imperial brother doesn't move his chopsticks, how can my sister move her chopsticks first?" Yunzhi said with her eyes widened.
"Okay, okay, brother, move your chopsticks." Yunxi smiled and picked up his chopsticks, picked up some food and started eating. Seeing Yunxi's movement, Yunzhi cheered slightly and started eating immediately.
Yunzhi devoted herself wholeheartedly to eating, but Yunxi and Xu Miaojin were not in such a hurry as him, chatting while eating.
"Husband, what else will happen in the next few days?" Xu Miaojin took a bite of food for him and asked.
"I have nothing to do in the past few days." Yunxi swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "It's only the beginning of September. We can return to the capital in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. There are still three months left. From Ganzhou City to
There is a tram in Xi'an, and you can go from Xi'an to the capital by water, so there is no need to worry. Miaojin, why do you ask this?"
"I would like my husband to accompany me for a while." Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes and said, "Before this, I have only been to Fengyang twice, but the journey from the capital to Fengyang was not very beautiful.
This time I came to the northwest and passed many places on the way back to the capital, so I want to have a good time."
"If my husband is fine, how about playing with Miaojin?"
"Okay, okay." Yunxi said dotingly.
He turned to Yunzhi again: "Yunzhi, do you want to play together?"
Before Yun Zhi had time to reply, a young eunuch walked in, lowered his head and said something in Yun He's ear. Yun He frowned and lowered his head to think.
At this time, Xu Miaojin suddenly stood up, walked to Yunzhi and spoke to her softly. After hearing her words, Yunzhi's face immediately turned red, and she said something in a voice as loud as a mosquito. Xu Miaojin persuaded her, and Yunzhi's face
She became increasingly red, but nodded. Xu Miaojin smiled and said something again, and returned to her seat.
At this time, Yunxi had finished thinking and gave an instruction to the eunuch. The eunuch agreed and bowed and stepped back. Yunxi turned his head, smiled at Xu Miaojin and Yunzhi and said, "What did your sister-in-law say just now?"
I didn't hear the sound or see their expressions, but I knew Xu Miaojin was leaning over to talk.
"It's nothing. My husband shouldn't ask too much about my daughter's private conversations." Xu Miaojin changed the subject: "Xiao Mingzi suddenly came in. Is there something big that needs to be punished by my husband?"
"It's not a big deal." Yunxi said: "Princess Qin Tang will be able to arrive in Ganzhou City tomorrow, but many houses in Prince Su's Mansion were destroyed due to the previous war, and now there are no vacant houses of sufficient size."
"My husband then decided to ask Wang Gong and the others to vacate two rooms. Yunzhi, you can live in the house vacated by Wang Gong. It is not suitable for the Tang family to live in the house that the Tang family just lived in."
"It's not suitable for sister-in-law Qin to live there, but it's suitable for my sister to live there?" Yunzhi pretended to be angry and said, "Brother, you can't favor one over the other."
"Yunzhi, you are my brother's biological sister, and Tang is my brother's uncle and sibling. Naturally, you have a closer relationship with your brother. This kind of thing can only wrong you." Yunxi also changed the subject: "
By the way, brother just now asked you if you want to play together, are you willing to play with brother?"
Yun Zhi originally wanted to ask one more question. Their brother and sister talked and joked every day. But when she heard Yun Xi's question, her face suddenly turned red again. She paused and said, "Brother, sister, don't you?"
I’m disturbing your husband and wife’s world. My sister can just go and play alone.”
Just as Yunxi was about to speak, Xu Miaojin suddenly said, "Husband, sister Yunzhi doesn't need you to play with her now."
"Is this, could it be?" After hearing Xu Miaojin's words, Yunxi suddenly understood the hidden meaning, widened his eyes and said, "Yunzhi you?"
"My husband guessed it right." Xu Miaojin leaned into his ear and whispered, "Yun Zhi has someone she likes."
"Who is it?" Yunxi asked. At the same time, his brain started to spin rapidly: "Xu Miaojin told me at this time that he must have started to like him along the way, and it must be someone he can see along the way. Yun Zhi is on the way.
There aren't many people I can get in touch with. Could it be that they are the guards of Prince Su's Mansion?'
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Miaojin had already revealed the answer: "Husband, I am your imperial bodyguard. The leader responsible for protecting my concubine and sister Yunzhi along the way is Zhang Wuji."
"He? How could it be him?" Yunxi said in disbelief.
"Husband, I remember that Guard Zhang served as a guard in front of the imperial court after he came to the capital. After I entered the palace, I saw that sister Yunzhi liked martial arts and often pestered the guards to practice martial arts, including Guard Zhang. They have known each other since then.
"
"Due to Guard Zhang's strong martial arts skills, sister Yunzhi has been in contact with him for a long time. Not only do they know each other, but they are already familiar with each other. This time when we came to the northwest, Guard Zhang was responsible for escorting him, and there was no lack of contact along the way."
"And during the recent crisis in Ganzhou City, when bandits besieged Prince Su's Mansion, sister Yunzhi was surrounded by bandits and almost captured alive. It was Guard Zhang who rescued her. When I asked sister Yunzhi, although she could not speak clearly,
, but in previous contacts, sister Yunzhi had already developed a crush on Guard Zhang; after the last rescue, she finally understood her feelings."
In Xu Miaojin's view, their love affair was very logical. They had known each other for at least five years and had a lot of contact with each other. Finally, this happened. It can be said that it was a natural progression. Yunlan had not met Yang Feng a few times at the beginning.
, didn’t you also like him?'
After listening to Xu Miaojin's words, Yunxi suddenly thought of the first time he met Zhang Wuji six years ago, and the first time Yunzhi met Zhang Wuji. At that time, he actually had a crush on Wudang Mountain named Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji was very surprised and looked at him very carefully. Yunzhi, who was only nine years old at the time, came to his side and coughed softly, which relieved Zhang Wuji's embarrassment.
"Is it possible that there is a certain destiny somewhere?" Yunxi couldn't help but become superstitious.
He raised his head and looked at Yunzhi, and when he saw that she turned her face away from him, he said, "Yunzhi, what your sister-in-law said just now is true?" He was already convinced in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm.
one time.
"Yeah." Yunzhi agreed softly.
"What did you say? Brother couldn't hear." Yunxi asked.
"yes."
"What did you say?" He still couldn't hear clearly.
"Brother Emperor, let me tell you, my sister likes Zhang Wuji!" Yunzhi turned around and said loudly to Yunxi.
After saying this, she seemed to be risking her life and continued to speak loudly: "Brother Huang, my sister likes Zhang Wuji, and she likes him regardless of whether you agree to it or not. If Brother Huang doesn't want my sister to marry him, my sister will not marry!"
"
Yunzhi's words made Yunxi stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to speak like this. But then he burst out laughing, laughing hard.
Yunzhi finally mustered up the courage to say these words. Seeing Yunxi's reaction, she immediately became angry and shook Yunxi's body vigorously: "Brother, please stop teasing my sister like this!"
Yunxi laughed for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her and let her sit in his arms, saying: "Don't worry, Zhang Wuji is not married now, how could my brother not agree?"
"Then why did you react like this just now?" Yunzhi asked.
"It's not because your words are so funny."
"What's so funny?"
"Everywhere is funny. Look, Miaojin is also laughing so happily." Yunxi pointed at Xu Miaojin who was also holding his stomach and laughing non-stop.
"Sister-in-law, don't laugh." Yunzhi's face turned redder and she said loudly.
"If you don't laugh, don't laugh. My sister-in-law doesn't laugh." Xu Miaojin said hurriedly.
Yunzhi felt better now, but her face was still red.
"Yunzhi, if you are willing to marry Zhang Wuji, my brother will definitely not stop you. But there is something I want to ask you if you know: you like Zhang Wuji, does Zhang Wuji like you?"
"Yunzhi, if you marry him, it will be a lifetime thing. A lifetime is very long, and it is longer than you can imagine now. You like him now, and he is also greedy for your appearance and will not hate you. The husband and wife are harmonious;
But what if you grow old in the future and no longer have such a beautiful appearance?"
"You are the princess of the Ming Dynasty. He dare not divorce you or show any disrespect to you. But if he abandons you by then, he can avoid you, and you will not do it for the sake of your child.
Say bad things about your brother. If this happens, what will you do?" Yunxi said seriously.
Yun Zhi was only three years old when he came through. They were more like father and daughter than brother and sister. Yun Zhi's mood at this time was also similar to that of marrying a daughter, and he raised questions that he had not raised when he married Yun Lan.
After hearing what he said, Yunzhi blushed and shrank her head at first, but later her expression became serious. After Yunxi finished speaking, she also said seriously: "Brother, my sister thinks that he also has a crush on her, but
I probably never thought that I could be a princess, so I don’t know if he likes me. If he knew that he could be a princess, he would like my sister."
"As for growing old, my sister has never aged, so I don't know. But if I choose another person, wouldn't it be possible for the situation that the emperor brother guessed to happen? Rather than marrying someone I never like, it is better to marry someone
The person you like will be happy at least when you are young, right?"
Yunxi stared at Yunzhi seriously, as if it was the first time he saw such a side of her. "You are right," he said at last.
"Husband, after seeing this, I sent people to ask all the people who are familiar with him. Everyone thinks that his character is trustworthy and he is very considerate of his family. A woman will be blessed if she marries him." Xu Miaojin said hurriedly.
"That's all. Since you really like him, Yunzhi, brother won't say anything more. In a few days, he will issue a decree to marry him."
Yunxi said: "His status is a bit lower, but fortunately he has not been rewarded for his achievements in the battle of Ganzhou City. I discussed with my fourteenth uncle to give him more credits and at least give him a hereditary commander."
. This is barely worthy of it. Yang Feng was also granted the marriage as a hereditary commander at the beginning, and it was only after he went to the northwest that he was granted the title of Spylord."
"In terms of official position, he can no longer be a guard in the future. I will decide if he wants to be a civil official or a military general. If he wants to be a military general, let him go to the martial arts school for two years. He was only fourteen years old when he came to me.
He is only twenty years old this year and has not yet reached his age. If he is willing to be a civil servant, it seems unlikely that he will pass the imperial examination, so he will be sent to the Imperial College to study." Yunhe rambled on a lot.
"Sister, thank you, brother." Yunzhi said hurriedly, knowing that this was for her own good.
"As long as you live a comfortable life in the future and your brother's thoughts are not in vain."
