After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 22 Princess Rui County
It rained for several days.

Wei Xingzhi stayed in the imperial study room during the day, and talked with Wang Zhiyang when he returned to Wei Mansion. After Li Huaiyin gave Wang Zhiyang an injection, Ah Yang's complexion really improved a lot.

"Ah Zhi, Ah Yang, the emperor has decreed to make a queen." Zhou Han and Ma Huai squeezed in one after the other.

Zhou Han casually squeezed a piece of Wei Xingzhi's cut apple and threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "The one who stood up is indeed Cheng Wansu, the daughter of Cheng Taifu's family. Besides, he also took in many concubines. Now it's all over, all the officials are happy, and the queen mother's illness is also cured, it's amazing!"

He still wanted to reach out and pinch the apple, but Wei Xingzhi inserted a dagger into Zhou Han's hand and landed on the table, "I know how to eat it? I asked you to check Chuyaolou. What did you find?"

Zhou Han withdrew his hand in embarrassment, touched the fingers where the dagger was wiped over, and muttered, "Chuyao Tower has been airtight since the incident with Yu Changyuan, how can we find it out!"

Seeing that Wei Xingzhi's face was getting darker and darker, he laughed to ease the atmosphere, "But the emperor and Cheng Wansu are really childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep relationship!"

Are you affectionate?Wei Xingzhi disdains, if it is really affectionate, why would the ministers and the queen mother force him to marry, why would he accept so many concubines to hinder Cheng Wansu's eyes?

Only a fool like Zhou Han believed in the words "deep affection".

Speaking of Yu Changyuan, Wei Xingzhi asked, "Is that charming little man doing well in the other courtyard?"

Zhou Han curled his lips, "The food is good, and the clothes are good. If you let him go, he won't leave. I guess he will still think of a way to assassinate you."

Wei Xingzhi sneered, assassination?He didn't want to leave because she sent people to the northwest to bring back Mrs. Yu who was in exile. As for Yu Chongguang, when her people rushed there, they only rescued Mrs. Yu, and Yu Chongguang had already been murdered.

"I'll go see it another day."

Ma Huai took a chair and sat down, "Ah Zhi, the emperor made a decree to establish the empress, but he didn't say that he would hold the empress ceremony and repair the harem palace...Did you pay attention?"

Wei Xingzhi paused his hand peeling the apple, and said calmly, "I did it."

The silver in the national treasury is the hard-earned money of the people who pay taxes. The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department gave her gifts in private because she refused to accept the concubine as a concubine. Where did so much money be used in this kind of place.

So she thought of a compromise!

The queen accepts the concubine, but there is no celebration and no repairs to the palace. Whose daughter wants to enter the palace and clean up the residence by herself.

The emperor gave her another big award, and praised her for her excellent work.

Thinking of this, Wei Xingzhi was still a little complacent. She came up with an idea, and the emperor made an order. Outsiders only know that she let go of her mouth and persuaded the emperor to appoint a concubine. Maybe she could change her opinion a little bit, but it was the emperor's sole responsibility to refuse the ceremony. It has nothing to do with her.

Wang Zhiyang looked sideways at Wei Xingzhi's complacent expression, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

Wei Xing knew, "Not only that, but I also asked the emperor to take advantage of the opportunity to announce the policy of swaying taxes and resting with the people. In this way, the common people will only think that the new queen is magnanimous and frugal. There will be criticism for not having a grand ceremony.”

It's fun here, but the atmosphere in Cheng's mansion is depressing.

Finally being crowned empress, Cheng Wansu's face did not show any joy. She had just come out of the Compassionate Ning Palace. The empress dowager meant that the emperor let her go, so don't let her chase after her and hold any grand ceremony.

It's ridiculous for an ordinary girl to get married and even hold a wedding banquet, but her dignified prince's eldest daughter is born, but she wants to advocate frugality.

"Miss, this is a wedding dress from the palace, please have a look at it." Xing'er held the tray respectfully, and brought the red and gilt wedding dress to Cheng Wansu's eyes.

Cheng Wansu closed her eyes, and her slender fingers gently landed on the wedding gown. The wedding gowns of all previous empresses were not luxurious and graceful, but hers was extremely simple, only gilded with gold, heh.

"Sent by Li Duobao?"

"Yes, Eunuch Li said, Miss is kind-hearted, so she won't care about these common etiquette..." As she was talking, Xing'er couldn't continue, the emperor was too deceitful.

Cheng Wansu narrowed her eyes, she tried her best to enter the palace as the queen, can't she bear this grievance?

"Go and prepare some small gifts, I'm going to the Wei Mansion."

Wei Xingzhi and Wang Zhiyang, the three of them were talking with the old lady Ruan Pingzhi in the main hall, and they were still a little surprised when they heard that the servants came to report that Cheng Wansu had come to the mansion.

They have nothing to do with Miss Cheng.

Ruan Pingzhi took a meaningful look at Wei Xingzhi, told Wang Zhiyang and the others to avoid him, and asked someone to invite Cheng Wansu in.

"Susu pays homage to the old lady, and has met Mr. Wei." The weak Liu Fufeng's figure, soft and decent voice, May Day does not reveal her status as a lady of the family.

Ruan Pingzhi stood up from the chair, and hurriedly said, "Miss Cheng will be the queen soon, I can't bear this bow, Ah Zhi, don't give it to Miss Cheng."

Wei Xingzhi curled his lips slightly, but he hadn't bent down yet.

Cheng Wansu avoided her body, and said very politely to Wei Xingzhi, "Don't dare, Master Wei is not inferior to a man as a woman, and she is the pillar of our Southern Xiao dynasty, how could Susu afford such a gift from Master Wei. I went to the mansion today just to apologize to Mr. Wei. My mother blamed Mr. Wei on the death of my second sister. Su Su felt guilty, but she dared not go to the mansion to apologize to Mr. Wei because she was in the way of mourning for her second sister. "

"No need." When Wei Xingzhi thought that Cheng Qianqian might have died because of this person, he couldn't like him from the bottom of his heart, so he said lightly, "I am indeed responsible for the death of Miss Cheng, Miss Cheng, don't feel guilty. "

Cheng Wansu was about to say something, but Fu Lianzi came in to report, "Old lady, Princess Ruijun and the cousin of Prince Ruijun are here."

Ruan Pingzhi frowned, "Come in, please."

Prince Ruijun is the emperor's cousin. Although he does not participate in government affairs in the court, he is quite well-connected and prestigious. His cousin girl is the niece and grand-nephew of Princess Ruijun's family. This time, Princess Ruijun was also sent to the palace list , with this status, at least she is a concubine.

Wei Xingzhi casually observed Cheng Wansu's expression, obviously mentioning this cousin girl, her expression was unnatural for a moment.

Could it be that the two of them still have some holiday?
"Old sister, the two of us have not seen each other for many days..."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at his grandmother.

Ruan Pingzhi frowned a little bit, she didn't have a close relationship with the old concubine Princess Rui, and she rarely returned to Beijing in the past years, and even if she came back, she didn't have much contact with the old concubine.

She came here with the cheek today, she must be asking for something.

Princess Ruijun was wearing a gorgeous and expensive long dress and an indigo double-breasted gown. Her half-white hair was tied up in a bun and she wore a few emerald hairpins. Her face was full of smile lines, but it seemed deliberate. It would be better not to smile.
