Brother Ji is about to get married, and Prince Lu's palace has been tidying up inside and outside for three or four months before it is considered appropriate.
After Prince Lu's house was tidied up, Zhao Changqing led Brother Ji's son Rong and sister Rong to Jiaofang Palace, and earnestly begged to leave the palace and return to the palace: "...the children grew up in the palace, and were cared for by the emperor and queen.
Now that the children have grown up, Brother Ji will get married soon. As a mother-in-law, I also want to live with my son and enjoy the blessing of being cared for by my daughter-in-law."
Xie Mingxi's eyes glanced over Zhao Changqing's cheerful face, and she felt confused in her heart.
At that time, King Lu and King Ning of Fujian were all sentenced to death. Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao lived in the palace with their children and could not leave the palace easily. Life was not easy.
She asked Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao to take the children into the palace, firstly to take care of Fuji brothers, and secondly, Aluo and her cousins grew up together and had a close relationship. Of course, she also wanted to take care of the two widowed sisters-in-law.
.
Now it seems that one cannot be too generous as a person.
Otherwise, it will only exploit the shortcomings of people's hearts.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and spoke kindly: "In these years, you and your third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law have led the children to live in the palace. The children have playmates. We live together, it is easy to move around, and we are very close. I can't bear to part with it.
Second sister-in-law."
Listen and listen.
Zhao Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something bad, but his face became more sincere: "How can I let you go? It's just that Brother Ji has been by my side since he was a child. After he gets married, he will live in Prince Lu's Mansion, and I feel really worried...
"
"Second sister-in-law, you are worrying too much."
Xie Mingxi smiled at Yan Yan: "After brother Ji got married, he and his wife lived their own little life together, making love and affection. I don't know how good it is. Prince Lu's palace is quite close to the palace, so they are allowed to come into the palace every few days to talk.
also the same."
"Look at Prince An and Princess An. They often come to the palace, and Princess Duan doesn't feel lonely at all."
Zhao Changqing: "..."
Zhao Changqing had a smile on his face, but his hand that was holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened, and his heart sank.
Xie Mingxi made it clear that she and Sister Rong would stay in the palace!
Thinking further, maybe Xie Mingxi never meant to let her leave the palace. This was to trap her in the palace to restrain Brother Ji...
Xie Mingxi's slightly surprised voice sounded in her ears: "What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? We were talking nicely, why did the second sister-in-law's face suddenly look so ugly? Could it be that her body is not restrained enough? Do you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look?
See?"
Zhao Changqing calmed down and forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. It is probably due to my fatigue recently. I just need to rest for a few days. There is no need to call the imperial doctor."
Xie Mingxi gently warned: "In this case, the second sister-in-law can rest easy. Seeing that brother Ji is about to get married, the second sister-in-law must take good care of her body. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, how can brother Ji be happy?
The mood of getting married."
Looking at Xie Mingxi's gentle and concerned smile, Zhao Changqing's heart felt cold, and he responded repeatedly.
A few days later, Zhao Changqing mentioned leaving the palace again while joking.
Xie Mingxi still smiled and said: "How can I let my second sister-in-law do it? Please don't mention this to my second sister-in-law again in the future."
Zhao Changqing did not give up and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will go back to Prince Lu's Mansion to stay for a while. When Brother Ji gets married and lives a stable life, I will come back to the palace."
"Isn't it troublesome to move around?" Xie Mingxi had no intention of letting go, and her smile was cordial.
Zhao Changqing was waiting to say anything more, but Xie Mingxi added: "The emperor told me a few days ago that after brother Ji gets married, he will let brother Ji join the court to listen to politics."
Zhao Changqing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Ji is young and has little knowledge of political affairs. Being able to join the government and learn how to work as an errand is the emperor's grace and his blessing. I thank Brother Ji on my behalf."
More than the emperor and the queen."
It has been half a year since Chen Shangshu first raised this matter. Unfortunately, the emperor has never agreed.
The courtiers have the responsibility to make suggestions, but the decision-making power lies in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor does not nod his head, Brother Ji will not be able to attend the court and listen to the government.
Zhao Changqing was anxiously waiting, and when he suddenly heard the good news, Zhao Changqing was overjoyed.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Zhao Changqing who was smiling, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law can live in the palace with peace of mind now!"
How could Zhao Changqing dare to say no? He smiled and replied: "I can't ask for it."
…
That night.
Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong talked about what happened during the day.
Sheng Hong snorted invisibly: "The human heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant! This is exactly the kind of person you are talking about!"
Zhao Changqing is full of schemes and takes frequent actions in private.
In contrast, Yin Xiaoxiao was upright and never mentioned the matter of letting Brother Lin and Brother Ting take charge of politics, let alone contacting courtiers privately.
Speaking of which, although the Yin family is relatively small, General Yin's reputation among military generals is extremely high. If Yin Xiaoxiao also had the intention of letting brother Lin adopt him, there should have been some movement long ago.
At present, there are many officials in the court calling for Brother Ji, but no one has mentioned Brother Lin or Brother Ting. This shows that Yin Xiaoxiao is so magnanimous and clear-minded.
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "People eat five grains and have different temperaments. This is inevitable. You and I know it well."
Sheng Hong nodded, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said: "It's strange to say that if you grab what you want, I won't be willing to give it to you. If you keep to yourself and haven't touched or grabbed it, I want to take the initiative to give it to you."
"Brother Lin, brother Ting, will graduate from Songzhu Academy at the end of this year. Next spring, let them join the government together."
Xie Mingxi did not object to this matter: "When the children are older, they should learn to do errands to avoid wasting time."
Sheng Hong smiled again and said: "A Luo also graduated this year. Next year, let her study together in the court."
That casual and relaxed tone was as simple as saying "Let's eat Chinese cabbage tonight". He didn't take it to heart that it was destined to alarm the court and stir up a thousand waves.
Xie Mingxi smiled silently: "Okay."
…
In July, Brother Ji left the palace and returned to Prince Lu's Mansion.
In September, Ji Geer got married and married the imperial concubine Zhao. The emperor and empress were quite generous and received generous rewards. One month after Ji Geer's wedding, the emperor issued an order for Ji Geer to enter the court to listen to the government.
According to the Holy Order, there is no need to elaborate on how happy Brother Ji is.
Zhao Changqing was in the palace and well-informed. After learning about this incident, his heart dropped like a huge stone, and he felt indescribably happy and contented.
Brother Ji has taken the most important step.
In two years' time, it would be a matter of course for the courtiers to submit a memorial asking the emperor to adopt him as his successor.
Zhao Changqing suppressed his joy and went to Jiaofang Hall to express his gratitude.
The Jiaofang Hall was particularly lively today.
The female members of the Xie family came to the palace today to pay their respects. Also coming with them was Xie Minglou, the fifth son of the Xie family.
