Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 338

The resurgence of war in the north was something that the Lu people did not expect.

Wei Qi didn't expect it either.

The Di people are nomads, they live mostly by grazing, and they will only provoke the Lu State when there is no food and grass in winter.Now it's only summer, and it's the time when the water and grass are plentiful, so you can't bear it anymore?

When the imperial decree from the palace was passed to the East Palace, Wei Qi was asking Caiyi in the Chunguang Pavilion.

Song Jingxing went out of the palace in the rain last night, and said something to Zhao Jinyi.

Caiyi was a little embarrassed, she was young and slept soundly last night, she had no idea when Song Jingxing came and what he had said to the girl.

She just forgot that it is rare for girls today to sleep until the sun rises.Mei Ran was also yawning all the time, feeling drowsy.The girl who woke up didn't do anything else, just lazily half-lyed on the couch and read a book.Later, seeing that the weather was hot, the girl wanted to eat Baiweiju's cherry cheese, so Meiran sent her out.

Wei Qi was helpless, and was about to put his colorful clothes back, when Er Fu, who stayed behind in the East Palace, jumped in: "Your Highness, it's not good!"

When he heard that he was going to marry the granddaughter of the Duke's family as the princess in three days, Wei Qi's face was covered with dark clouds.Marrying a crown princess is always a very grand event, but in order to let him go to the North, some people don't even want face.

Su Yi was so shocked that she almost couldn't hold back her face.

However, marrying the crown prince is still a trivial matter. The Tian family wants to send the crown prince to the north to attack the Di clan, which is the key point.

The crown prince is the only son, and the Tian family is willing to do so!

Caiyi went to Baiweiju to buy cherry cheese but failed to buy it. Instead, she brought a message from His Royal Highness: Please come to Chunguang Pavilion, the fourth lady, to discuss something important.

Half an hour later, Wei Qi saw Zhao Jinyi.

Zhao Jinyi was only wearing an ordinary old shirt, and his hair was casually tied in a bun, with a plain hairpin inserted into it, and he didn't even apply lip balm.

He seemed to have an illusion that Zhao Jinyi looked a bit like a guy who came to work, and he was the boss who made trouble for the guy.

Before Zhao Jinyi entered the door, she couldn't help thinking about what happened, but Su Yi was quick to talk, and couldn't help but sneer when she went up the stairs: "His Royal Highness is about to get married, and the future Crown Princess is the granddaughter of the Duke's family."

Zhao Jinyi only glanced at Su Yi indifferently: "Congratulations, Sister Su Yi, there will be a new mistress soon."

Su Yi choked, and watched Zhao Jinyi slowly go upstairs.Her injury didn't seem to be recovering, and her posture was a bit weird when she climbed the stairs.However, the more Zhao Jinyi was like this, the more His Highness loved her.

Wei Qi said succinctly: "I'm going to the Northland, I don't know when I'll be back, the things in the capital... and the Crown Princess, I'll leave it all to you."

Zhao Jinyi was stunned, she still wanted to take care of the Crown Princess?Does Wei Qi think highly of her? She is not superhuman.

Wei Qi took off the jade tablet hanging around his waist and handed it to her, with deep eyes: "Miss Zhao Si, with this jade tablet, you can mobilize all the hidden guards in the Eastern Palace. I leave the Suyi and Suyi to you, and you can send them."

Su Yi couldn't believe it: "Your Highness! The trip to the Northland is extremely dangerous, why don't you go with your slaves!"

Wei Qi only glanced at her: "Su Yi, be obedient. When I'm not around, you have to listen to Miss Si."

Wei Qi led Dafu away in a hurry.

Zhao Jinyi suddenly felt that the jade token in his hand was like a hot potato.

Su Yi looked at her resentfully.

Zhao Jinyi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Looking from the window of Chunguang Pavilion, the spacious Suzaku Street is still very lively, some people are carnivaling tirelessly, as if there is no day and night.

On the way back to the East Palace, Wei Qi found out how the princess was selected, and almost punched a big hole in the wall of the car.

No matter who is chosen as the crown princess, it is an extremely embarrassing thing.However, Grandpa Guo had heard a lot of operas in the teahouse, so he had an idea and came up with a way: draw lots.

Write down the names of the daughters or granddaughters of the age-appropriate age of the officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court, one by one, by the Ministry of Rites, fold them into Fang Sheng, throw them into the wooden box and shake them, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Tian family draws lots in person .

This method is fair and just, and it is the most convincing way to leave it to God.

Moreover, the candidate for the crown princess drawn by lot is the granddaughter of the Grand Duke, who has always had a good reputation in the capital, but it is also convincing.

That's right, the only son of the Duke died in battle. Now the huge Duke's mansion is only home to the old Duke and his granddaughter. If the Duke dies in the future, the Crown Princess will have nothing to rely on. .The crown princess has no support, and if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, there will be no foreign relatives who will be domineering.Such a candidate is very good.

In just one stick of incense, Xie Ming analyzed the matter clearly.

Zhao Jinyi glanced at Su Yi, and said very seriously: "Your Highness will go to the North to fight immediately after getting married, and leave the kind-hearted Crown Princess alone in Beijing. If the Crown Princess can't stand the temptation of the bad guys...or the Crown Princess Simple minded, being victimized by bad guys... Sigh, it's really nerve-wracking!"

Su Yi's face is ugly.

She didn't want to serve Zhao Jinyi, nor did she want to serve the Crown Princess.

But Zhao Jinyi ordered her: "Sister Suyi is a bold and skilled person. After His Highness goes out to fight, go to the Crown Princess to protect her. Oh, before His Highness returns, you must report to me every move of the Crown Princess every day. As for Brother Erfu, just protect the princess in secret."

Obviously these princes ordered them, they can do it, but they want them to listen to Zhao Jinyi, Su Yi is very unconvinced.So what if Zhao Jinyi was injured for His Highness, she has been injured several times in order to protect His Highness these years!
Er Fu said, "But it's up to Miss Si's arrangement."

Zhao Jinyi got up, with a lazy tone: "Sister Suyi just needs to rest for a few days. By the way, Brother Erfu, let's talk with the little girl."

She was so mysterious, Su Yi wanted to listen carefully, but seeing Zhao Jinyi cast a sidelong glance at her, she couldn't help saying angrily, "Don't ask Er Fu to do some dirty things for you."

Concubine Xiong got into trouble with the Tian family again because of Wei Qi's marriage to the crown princess.

Tian's family couldn't help having a headache, and blurted out: "The queen didn't make trouble, what are you doing? I don't know the general idea! The prince is already in his twenties, so what if he married a princess? In the previous dynasty, there were many princes I have become a grandfather, but I have not been able to become an emperor. My body is so healthy, and I will live another thirty years without any problem."

Xiong Guifei was finally appeased, but she turned her eyes, leaned on Tianjia's chest, and said softly: "After all, this prince has never been on the battlefield and has no experience. It might as well be like this. The concubine's third younger brother Xianfu is here The family has been there for several years, and there has been no suitable official position. It might as well be like this, the Tian family will grant him a position of supervisor of the army, and go with the prince, so that he can not only supervise the prince, but also earn some face for the Xiong family."

Xiong's third brother, Xiong Jin?That is indeed a loafer!Although Xiong Wei is a seventh-rank Sitian Jiancheng, although he usually relies on Concubine Xiong's power to pretend to be a tiger, but he has worked hard.But that Xiong Jin, with high eyesight but low hands, had insisted on being the servant of the household department a few years ago, just because he heard that there was a lot of money to be made in that official position.But he is a white man, and he doesn't even have any fame. Besides, in order not to let the court ministers nagging him, he has always made the Zhu and Xiong families evenly matched.Xiong Jin's reputation is notorious, so just relax!
Tianjia has a nickname in his heart.

He hesitated: "It's bitter cold in the north, and we're going to fight again, can Xiong Jin endure that hardship?"

Concubine Xiong immediately pointed to the sky and swore a promise: "Do the hard work of a dog and a horse for the heavenly family. He can eat a little bit of suffering!"

"Okay." The Tian family had no choice but to agree.

Concubine Xiong was naturally delighted, and immediately asked her confidant to pass on the words to her third younger brother Xiong Jin, telling him to restrain himself in the past few days, and not to let Yushi get caught.

But Xiong Jin thought about it, and thought that when he arrived in the Northland in a few days, there would be all rude men, wouldn't that suffocate him to death.No, before he left, he had to find another good-looking lady to vent out.
