The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 555 Showing Loyalty

When Zhao Xuan returned to the hospital, Mrs. Xie was looking through the accounts. Zhao Xuan took off his cloak, sat down opposite his wife, and said, "It's so late, you can't rest. What are you busy with?"

Mrs. Xie used a pen to make a mark on the account that he had read just now, then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xuan, and replied, "Let me see how many good things we have brought from Yizhou."

"Why are you looking at this?" He poured out two cups of tea, pushed one to his wife, picked up the other cup and sipped it carefully, and said casually; When I went back, I didn’t expect that you and Ayu would get pregnant one after another, if the money is not enough, I’ll let someone go back and get it.”

"Silver is enough." She said, looking at Zhao Xuan, and said: "A few days ago, I asked Pingyang to honor my mother with an old mountain ginseng from the year before, and my mother actually gave me some gifts in return, which made me feel uneasy. of."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan put down the teacup and said nonchalantly: "Although she is a queen, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the prince's mansion. In terms of status, you are also extremely honorable. It is common sense for the empress to give some gifts to win me over to Prince Yong's mansion." , why do you need to worry about this."

Mrs. Xie knew that her husband was careless, so she replied patiently: "You will definitely accept such thoughts from now on."

"Do you still think it was when the late emperor was in power?"

"Grandmother was kind to the late emperor, so she also favored our prince's mansion. Now, it has changed a long time ago. Today, His Majesty is very shrewd and hardworking. Maybe he has already made the idea of ​​a feudal king."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan quickly said: "Impossible, Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years. Which of the vassal kings of Daqi is not a big tree with deep roots, can Your Majesty have such a plan?"

Mrs. Xie sneered: "The dignitaries have encroached on land for a long time, and your majesty settled it in just a few strokes."

"You, you just don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan thought about it silently. Although he couldn't help feeling worried, he still held a trace of luck and murmured: "Even if Your Majesty wants to withdraw the feudal domain, you can't move our Prince Yong's mansion." , we are the direct line of the Zhao family, and our grandmother is the adoptive mother of the late emperor and Princess Fuxi, His Majesty, he has to take care of some favors."

Mrs. Xie looked at her husband, sighed helplessly, and replied: "Then according to what you said, the Murong family of Jiangdong is still the mother's family of the old lady of the Duke's mansion. As for our Prince Yong's Mansion, let's not say that the first emperor has no weight in His Majesty's heart at all, it is the temper of the Eldest Princess. Don't you understand that the world of the Zhao family is the most important thing in her heart? Valuable."

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at her husband: "You need to be more sober, you have already changed roles now, you don't need to count on the love between your grandmother and your father and the Zhao family anymore."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan nodded and murmured: "Your worries are not unreasonable."

Xie said: "As the saying goes, if there is no foresight, there must be near-term worries. Let's think about it earlier."

Zhao Xuan looked at his wife and asked, "Say, what should we do?"

Mrs. Xie took a sip of the teacup, frowned and replied: "Pingyang just sent your mother's gift in return this morning. I was thinking about it too. I just wanted to make a deal with you when I came back. Right now in Beijing, everything is convenient."

It turned out that his wife came to him for such a big event.

After hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he remembered that his wife ordered someone to look for him but was pushed by the servant woman in Meng's yard.

He stood up and helped his wife up, and said softly, "It's cold on the ground, let's discuss it on the warm couch."

Mrs. Xie was supported by her husband on the warm couch, and Zhao Xuan thoughtfully put a soft pillow for his wife, and said with concern: "I see that you have been haggard for a while, but is it because you have a bad appetite?"

"The appetite is not bad, but sometimes I always sweat at night, and I can't sleep well." Xie leaned on the soft pillow and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not hard for a woman to get pregnant, I'm not so delicate."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but blushed slightly, he hesitated and said: "You have already given birth to a few children, but you still have to be careful."

"I know." Xie looked at her husband, and then brought the conversation back to what she just said, she asked: "I think His Majesty has the idea of ​​withdrawing the domain in all likelihood, what are your plans? "

Zhao Xuan sat cross-legged on the couch, frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Although we are far away in Yizhou, we are not without connections in Beijing."

As he said that, Zhao Xuan snapped his fingers and said: "The doctor Li Rong of the Yushitai is my good friend, and the second boy of our mother's Lan family is also working in the Yushitai now. With these officials here, the others Not to mention, it’s okay to say something nice for Prince Yong’s Mansion occasionally in front of His Majesty. In addition, we also have people in the cabinet. Although Xie Ying, who is new to the cabinet, has made five blessings with your Marquis Mansion, he is also from the same family. After all, it is a family, and there is also Wang Yi, Minister of the Ministry of War. Back then, he and his father had a deep friendship. I took advantage of the time in Beijing to walk around with these relatives and friends, and it would not be difficult to win the relationship."

After Zhao Xuanxu finished speaking, Mrs. Xie resolutely said: "You are not allowed to win over any of these people."

Zhao Xuan asked in surprise, "Why?"

Mrs. Xie replied: "You came to Beijing and rashly made friends with important officials in the court. What does your majesty think?"

"You are afraid that His Majesty is not afraid of Prince Yong's mansion enough, are you?"

After listening to his wife's reminder, Zhao Xuan nodded and replied, "You are right."

Mrs. Xie continued: "What we need to do now is to keep a low profile, not stand out, and we can't stay in Beijing for long. After the new year, the fetus in my womb has passed its first three months. Let's go back to Yizhou immediately. go."

Mrs. Xie thought about it, and said: "Not only that, I thought that after a while, if the empress recovers and your majesty can feel better, you should go to meet the saint in person."

Zhao Xuan heard from his wife that he was going to leave after the New Year, and he originally wanted to tell her that he planned to wait for Meng Shi to give birth before leaving.

Meng's body is weak, and now she is pregnant, he is worried that she will not be able to bear the bumpy road.

But when he heard that his wife wanted him to face the saint, Zhao Xuan swallowed back his unspoken words. After all, between the fate of the palace and the Meng family, he naturally had to take the former into consideration first.

Zhao Xuan asked: "I'm going to face the saint, what do I want to say to His Majesty? Do you want to show your loyalty?"

Mrs. Xie replied: "Loyalty is naturally to be shown, but it is not as simple as talking about it."

"You have to tell Your Majesty that Prince Yong's Mansion will abolish the guards, increase the tribute to the court, and send the descendants of the Prince's Mansion to study in the palace."
