Han Dao world

Chapter 1018
Zhen Mi was sitting on the side of the bed dressed up, her hands hidden in her fine clothes were twitching together, her heart was beating like a drum, and her face was as red as a glow.

Happiness waited too long, but came too suddenly.

Just when she thought that she had made a slip of the tongue and angered the emperor, that there was no hope of entering the palace, and that Yuan Heng or the Qiao sisters would be the first to step in, the edict to enter the palace was suddenly delivered to her, and she was not psychologically prepared at all.

Without any hesitation, she immediately handed over the official duties at hand, and handed over Jizhou Yinfang, which had spent countless efforts.

She did all this not to make money—the profit of Jizhou Yinfang is nothing compared to Zhongshan Zhen’s business—but to prove her worth to the emperor.

Now everything is in order and I am satisfied.

"Fangzhu is so beautiful today." A young woman who came to help said enviously.

"I really can't speak, what day will Fangzhu not look good?" Mrs. Zhang said angrily.

She took over Jizhou Yinfang, and suddenly became a pivotal figure in the hearts of Jizhou scholar-bureaucrats. Those who wanted to publish their own works came to visit one after another, making her more face-saving than her husband Xing Yong. This is how two or three years ago. will come to mind.

The affairs of Zhen Mi's entry into the palace were handled by her herself, more attentive than Zhen Mi's family members.Zhen Mi's elder brother, Zhen Yao, is in charge of the outside, and she is in charge of the house. Zhen Mi's mother, Mrs. Zhang, just sits and accepts congratulations from the guests.

"I mean, Fangzhu looks very good today." The young woman stuck out her tongue and explained.

Mrs. Zhang agreed deeply, looked at Zhen Mi's charming face, and sighed: "A woman is the one who pleases herself. The beauty of the owner today is specially prepared for the emperor alone. Only a hero like the emperor can be worthy of it." Fangzhu's peerless beauty."

"Don't talk about it, it works." Zhen Mi shyly grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hand and shook it lightly.

The Emperor Naguiren is different from the marriage of ordinary people, there is no etiquette of welcoming them in person, but Taichang sent envoys with some Yulin cavalry to take Zhen Mi to Xingzai and place them in the prepared room.

The emperor himself has not changed from usual, and he handles business normally, and is still discussing matters in front of the hall at this moment.

Ma Yunlu, who was in charge of affairs in the harem, had just given birth, so he took a look and went back, leaving two female officials to guide Mrs. Zhang and others to arrange related affairs.

As for the Qiao sisters, according to the imperial decree, they went back to their hometown to visit their relatives, and they will not come back until next spring.

This also gave Mrs. Zhang and others the opportunity to accompany Zhen Mi.

After chatting for a while, watching the night darken, when Zhen Mi was worried that the emperor would be busy until late at night as usual, news came from the front.

The Son of Heaven is here.

Mrs. Zhang and the others quickly got up solemnly and stood aside.

After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Liu Xie walked in.

He glanced at Mrs. Zhang and the others, nodded slightly, and signaled that it was time to start.

Mrs. Zhang quickly saluted and completed the relevant ceremony according to the pre-arranged procedures.

After everything was over, Mrs. Zhang and others withdrew, leaving Liu Xie and Zhen Mi alone.

Liu Xie sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbed his hands on his knees, and hesitated for a while.

Zhen Mi turned her head to look at him, and said softly, "Your Majesty has something to say, but don't you feel it's inconvenient to say it?"

"I have a few words I want to say to you, but at this moment, it doesn't seem suitable." Liu Xie paused, and said with a smile: "It's a little unpleasant."

Zhen Mi smiled. "If you can make His Majesty so mindful, even if it's a spoiler, I think it's worth it. It's late at night, and Your Majesty has been busy all day. Why don't you talk about it earlier so that you can rest."

"That's the best." Liu Xie nodded again. "I have three words that I want to make clear to you."

"The concubine is all ears."

"First, the empress stands in Chang'an. It was the most difficult time for the big man and me. Moreover, the empress is obedient and gentle, and understands the general situation. She can be the mother of the country. After you enter the palace, you must maintain due respect for her."

Zhen Mi's delicately drawn black eyebrows moved slightly, and then nodded.

"Although the concubine comes from a family of merchants, she also has a little sense of dignity. Even if His Majesty doesn't say this, the concubine knows."

"It's best like this." Liu Xie stretched out his hand to take Zhen Mi's cool little hand, and put it in his palm. "Secondly, although we can't get along with ordinary couples, and your mother's family is not like ordinary people, I will definitely give you what should be given to you, but there will be considerations in terms of timing."

Zhen Mi felt the warmth from her palm, her face felt a little hot.

She knew what Liu Xie was talking about.In the previous relationship, she was too eager for quick success, wishing that the emperor would issue an imperial edict immediately and bestow favors on the Zhen family of Zhongshan, without considering the complexity of the government at all.

In fact, not only the emperor is very sensitive to his relatives, but also the ministers.

Including Empress Fushou, so far, none of the relatives has been promoted because of the gift of the emperor.Those who can be promoted to rank are all due to their own abilities.

For example Xun You.

Even if the emperor could meet her expectations and promote her brother Zhen Yao, he would be rejected by the ministers.

Ministers are far more wary of foreign relatives interfering in politics than the emperor.

"With His Majesty's words, there is nothing for my concubine to worry about. Your Majesty is known for knowing people, and my concubine's family will definitely get the most suitable opportunity for them, and avoid the embarrassment of being unworthy."

Liu Xie took a look at Zhen Mi and was quite satisfied.

No matter if she really wanted to open her mind, or she forced a smile to please him and said something against her will, it is always good to have such thoughts.

At least it shows that she has recognized the reality.

"Third, you must also know that the Western Expedition has entered the preparation stage. It will take three to five years sooner, or seven or eight years later. The army will definitely start. If you are willing to accompany you by then, you will suffer from hardships. If you don't accompany you, you will To suffer from separation. You can't have both."

Zhen Mi blinked and stared at Liu Xie for a moment. "Your Majesty finished?"

"It's over."

"Can the concubine say something?"

"of course can."

"Although the concubine is not as far away from Liangzhou as your Majesty, she also went to Beiyue alone to sacrifice to the god of Xuanwu. From the moment she left the house, the concubine was ready to wander. Now I have the opportunity to go west with your majesty. , Seeing His Majesty flogging the world, seeing my great man and athlete spreading the might all over the world, isn’t it a hundred times better than my minister wandering alone? With such a situation, where can’t I go, why can’t I suffer?”

She gently withdrew her hand, got up, and bowed gracefully in front of Liu Xie.

"The concubine is not talented, and I would like to accompany His Majesty, never leave, until the end of the world."

Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi, and sighed: "The ends of the earth, it sounds very romantic, but it's very hard to walk. Are you really ready?"

"The concubine doesn't know how hard it is. The minister only knows that if your majesty goes down, the concubine will get it. No matter how hard it is, as long as you can stay by your majesty's side, it will be worth it."

Liu Xie bent down, helped Zhen Mi up, and patted her knee lightly.

"You are still too young after all."

Zhen Mi smiled sweetly. "Your Majesty, don't forget that my concubine is only three years younger than Your Majesty."

Looking at Zhen Mi's charming, charming face with a smug smile, Liu Xie was momentarily at a loss for words.

What Zhen Mi said was right, in terms of biological age, he was actually only three years older than Zhen Mi.

But all this time, he didn't realize this. He always felt that he was a middle-aged man, psychologically at least ten years older than Zhen Mi, or even more, not a generation at all.

Sure enough, the body of the twenty-year-old, the mind of the forty-year-old.

"If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it." Liu Xie patted his forehead, pulled Zhen Mi lightly, and held Zhen Mi in his arms. "A moment in the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars. Let's hurry up and do what we should do at this age."
