Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 68

The end of the year was approaching, and it snowed heavily outside at night. Wei Yizhi sat in front of the case, and waited for Xie Shu to finish drinking the decoction one by one, before showing her a booklet.

"Look at this brochure, what's your opinion?"

Xie Shu put down the bowl, reached out to take it, glanced at it roughly, but it was not an ordinary political matter, and his cheeks could not help but blush.

"That's agreed." Wei Yizhi took it back and stamped it with the king's seal.

Xie Shu didn't ask until now: "Is it too early?"

"It's getting late, and His Majesty just happened to be worried that I would be too sad, so he kept urging me."

Wei Yizhi put the notebook aside while Xie Shu glanced at the contents.

In fact, it is not complicated. It is nothing more than the king of Wuling claiming that he is about to get married and requesting the title of concubine.The identity was arranged by Wei Yi early on, except for the fact that he was not a commoner, he had almost no background at all.But Xie Shu understood that Sima Ting would be happy to see the result.

She propped her forehead, looked at Wei Yizhi's side face under the light, and nodded: "That's fine."

In the spring of the second year of Qingkang, King Wuling got married in the fief. His wife's name was Ruyi, and the rest was unknown.

Those who knew the prime minister's baby name all sighed, the King of Wuling is really infatuated, those who don't know just think the old is not as good as the new.

Anyway, the hearts of another group of women were broken into scum...

In Wuling County, there has been heavy snowfall for two consecutive winters, making people's teeth tremble with clammy cold.The precious trees and flowers in the mansion were all waiting for maintenance, the housekeeper was a little impatient, and followed Xie Shu around the mansion with a brochure.

"Princess, do you think you want to hire a helper?"

"Princess, how much silver do you think is appropriate?"

"princess……"

Xie Shu couldn't bear it anymore, he stopped and shouted: "Mubai!"

"Here we come!" Mubai quickly ran out of the courtyard.

"The butler has something to do here, so you can help him." After Xie Shu finished speaking, he turned his head and pointed at the butler Mubai: "Ask him if you have anything in the future, do you understand?"

The housekeeper watched her leave, and couldn't help muttering: "After all, you are not from a wealthy family, so you can't even take care of these things."

Mubai stared at him coldly: "Of course our daughter-in-law can't take care of these trivial things, what she did back then, she scared you to death!" After speaking, he took the booklet from his hand, "It's just these trivial matters. Do you need to bother her? I can do it later!"

In a few days, the end of the year was approaching, and the housekeeper ran to find Xie Shu again.

"Princess, money is distributed from all over the house, you see..."

Mubai came over with his hands behind his back, and patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you disobedient, didn't you tell you to come find me?"

"..." The housekeeper was speechless, these are the duties of the princess!

This has always been the case for the past two years, the housekeeper couldn't take it anymore, and couldn't help but ran to complain to Mrs. Xiang.Now that Mrs. Xiang has been with Xie Shu for a long time, she is used to it, and occasionally she can show her majesty as a mother-in-law, so she decides to meet her.

The first time I went there, Xie Shu was busy with government affairs in Wuling County. When he saw Mrs. Xiang coming, he raised his hand and asked, "Mother, please sit down."

Mrs. Xiang suddenly couldn't sit still, she was wearing women's clothes, but her behavior was clearly masculine, very free and easy, she choked on a word, and finally left silently.

The second time I went, Xie Shu was still busy with various political affairs, Mrs. Xiang talked for a long time, and at the end she only called her: "Huh?"

Mrs. Xiang vomited for a long time, then left with a sullen face.

Going directly to Wei Yizhi for the third time, Wei Yizhi smiled and said: "She is a person who does big things, so don't keep her busy with these small things."

Mrs. Xiang rubbed her forehead violently, she couldn't get angry even if she wanted to.At the beginning, Wei Yizhi kept saying that he administered the medicine that made Xie Shu unable to conceive. Mrs. Xiang is a responsible person, so naturally she can only treat Xie Shu well, so no matter how much dissatisfaction she has, she can only suppress it. The grandson can only think silently.

"This is life!" She sighed, turned her head and walked away.

After the New Year's Eve, Wei Yizhi went to Jiankang, and when he came back, he saw that the county's affairs were handled in an orderly manner, but the housekeeper had a dark face and dared not speak out, and he really wanted to laugh.

"I married the most special woman in the world to be my princess."

He walked into the gazebo in the garden, where Xie Shu was sitting leaning on the railing, looking down at the rising cold water: "Fortunately, the person I married is not rigid."

Wei Yizhi sat down beside her, smiled and dragged her hands and rubbed them. Her hands had old injuries and couldn't be frozen for a long time. He always remembered clearly: "I brought news from Jiankang, do you want to read it? "

"Of course!" Xie Shu sat closer and took a letter from him.

In the past two years, Emperor Qingkang's wings have gradually grown, and he has gradually taken action. Recently, he has found trouble with many aristocratic families and suppressed many people. On the contrary, the most popular Xie family is fine.

"Presumably you will be very happy?" Wei Yizhi sighed: "Even my Wei family's power has been compromised."

Xie Shu smiled and said: "It's not surprising, my meritocracy is still useful. However, no matter how capable your majesty is, he can't uproot the family. I guess he just took the opportunity to cultivate his own power. He still has to rely on power, but it's just a warning to let the family see his imperial power."

Wei Yizhi nodded, Xie Shu has been handling some government affairs behind the scenes, and has a thorough understanding of the current situation.He suddenly remembered something, and asked her: "Do you regret it? You gave up the power of the prime minister, and you are bothered by the affairs of the mansion every day." After speaking, there was a bit of worry in his tone.

Xie Shu looked at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to get rid of that fake identity to save myself and Xie's family from capital punishment. If there is a day when I really want to go out of the mountain, no one can keep me. Similarly, if I want to stay, but no one can drive me away."

Wei Yizhi stretched out his hand and dragged her into his arms: "Then do you want to stay or go?"

She scratched his side face with her fingers: "That depends on how closely you watch."

"Your Majesty has said several times that he wants to see Princess Wuling. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you."

"Don't worry too much, you can never say anything, maybe one day we will go to Jiankang generously?"

Wei Yizhi couldn't help laughing: "If there is such a day, I really have to keep an eye on you."

Every month there will be reports on the affairs of the mansion, and now all of them are in Mubai's hands.Xie Shu can only handle government affairs, and she has no interest in asking her to do anything else, so she simply pushed it to him.

After worrying all the time that his position would be replaced by others, Mubai actually pried off the position of steward of Wuling County Prince's Mansion so easily, his mood was really mixed.

How could he, a good and loyal servant of the Daxie Mansion, become the chief steward of the enemy Wei's family?This is really a man's calculation.

Xie Shu's health gradually improved, but he still had to drink Dr. Zhong's conditioning decoction every night before going to bed.It was surprisingly cold, she walked into the room rubbing her hands, and saw Wei Yizhi sitting under the lamp adding honey to the medicine, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Zhongqing, what if I never have children in my life?"

Wei Yizhi looked up at her, surprised that she would ask such a question.Xie Shu is still Xie Shu, that suddenly unrestrained son of the Xie family, who has lived with him for several years, and rarely has a daughter's family worrying about gains and losses.

He brought the medicine to her: "Drink the medicine to make your body better, not for the child." After finishing speaking, he suddenly put on a straight face, "You married me to have a child, right?"

Xie Shu burst out laughing, the soup sprayed him all over, and hurried to wipe him off, but he simply took off his outer shirt, picked her up horizontally, and went to the inner room.

They already know each other too well, and they fit together physically and mentally.His panting ranged from light to heavy, and the palm of his hand rubbing the skin felt slightly rough, and the sweat dripped on his chest was hot.Xie Shu hugged him and followed him to the sky and into the earth, like falling into the clouds.When he relaxed and pressed on her, his hands were still intertwined with hers, and she felt that they had almost merged into one.

Wei Yizhi rubbed her waist lightly, feeling that she was still full of energy, and was quite pleasantly surprised: "Your body seems to be getting better and better."

"It's not useless for me to drink medicine every day and wander around the mansion all the time."

"I'll take you out for a walk another day, it would be better to relax more."

Xie Shu put his arms around his neck: "It's a deal."

"Of course." Wei Yizhi picked up her body cunningly: "But I have to see how good you are first."

The next day when Wei Yizhi woke up, Xie Shu was already up. He wanted to find his clothes, but found that Xie Shu had put on his clothes by himself.

How many times has this happened!

Just as he was about to call his servants to fetch the clothes, Fu Xuan came in and reported that the governor of Wuling had something urgent to see him.

Before the words fell, the sound of footsteps had already come.Wei Yizhi didn't know that he was so anxious that he went straight into the room, picked up his outer shirt and put it on.

The Wuling County Guard hastily walked around the screen, before he could say anything, his eyes widened at first, and finally he was amazed.

Soon after, it became popular in Jiankang City for men to pass by in women's clothing.Originally she was wearing plain clothes, covered with powder, which only added a little softness, but who would have guessed that the more it spread, the more it would gradually change its taste.

Nowadays, whether you are young or middle-aged, in addition to applying powder, you are all in love with colorful women's clothing, and it is best to have large patterns.The peony pattern is gorgeous and rich, the lotus pattern is elegant and unique, and the chrysanthemum pattern is domineering...

For a while, the men coming and going in the capital city are alluring, some are pleasing to the eye, while others are unbearable to look at.

Someone inquired about the origin of this custom, and the answer was that it began with King Wuling.

It is said that when he summoned the officials one day, he was leaning on the head of the bed and wearing women's clothing. His face was creamy, his eyes were like lacquer, his long hair was loose, and he was so beautiful that he didn't look like a real person.After the officials went back, they followed suit, spreading the word ten to hundreds, and now it has finally spread to Jiankang.

"I can't stand it anymore," Huan Ting patted the table in front of Yuan Peiling and Yang Saw: "Zhongqing was fine last time when she came to Jiankang, why did she suddenly come up with such tricks, it must be the one he married The princess was instigated."

Yang Saw rolled his eyes: "I'm happy with you, so please don't say a few words."

Huan Ting suddenly sat on the table and cried loudly: "Cousin, it's better when you are here..."

here we go again!Yuan Peiling and Yang Saw had already felt indifferent to him, but since they hadn't broken off their friendship yet, they had to comfort each other with helpless expressions.

Wei Yizhi stepped into the door at night, with a gloomy face: "Ruyi, I have something, I must have a good talk with you."

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xie Shu also became serious: "Is it a matter of the county or the court?"

Wei Yizhi said seriously: "In the future, you are not allowed to wear the wrong clothes again!"

However, when he woke up the next day, he sighed weakly at Xie Shu's outer shirt.

The scenery of Wuling County is the most beautiful at this time when the autumn is high and the air is crisp. The autumn water is long and the sky is continuous, the river surrounds the country, silvery and white, and the mountains and rivers are pastoral, vast and poetic.

A group of soldiers escorted Prime Minister Che Yu through Wuling County. Wang Jingzhi lifted the curtain and put his head out to have a look, his eyes couldn't hide his admiration.From Jiankang to Liangzhou and back again, it seems that only Wuling County is the most beautiful along the way.

"May the prime minister go to pay a visit to the King of Wuling?" the sergeant in charge of escort asked on horseback.

"No need, King Wuling doesn't like to see guests since he returned to his fiefdom, so don't bother him." Wang Jingzhi's gaze was still in the distance, he was taken aback for a moment, and shouted: "Stop!"

The convoy stopped immediately, and he got out of the car and walked towards a woman on the side of the road.

"This girl..."

When the woman turned her head, his voice stopped suddenly, and he looked her up and down, his eyes becoming more and more shocked.

"My lord is wrong. I have already married a man, so I can no longer be called a girl."

Wang Jingzhi came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "I was being rude, and I took the liberty to stop this lady, because my wife is very similar to the next old man."

The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "The old man your lord is talking about, isn't it the deceased Xie Xiang?"

He was stunned: "How does Madam know?"

"You're not the first person to say that, I'm used to it."

Wang Jingzhi understood, his surprise receded, and he burst out laughing.

There was a horse hissing in the distance, the woman turned her head and glanced at him, and said to him: "My husband has come to pick me up, my lord forgive me, and I am leaving."

She didn't salute, just nodded slightly, turned around and walked away along the narrow field ridge. She wore a crimson skirt, ribbons to tie her hair, and wide sleeves fluttering in the wind. comfortable.

Sitting back in the car, Wang Jingzhi took another look from a distance, filled with emotion, put down the curtain and ordered to set off.

Passing through the golden fields of rice ears and the fragrant fruit forest, Wei Yizhi waited with his horse.

"Where do you want to go to relax next time?" He carried Xie Shu onto the horse and sat around her.

Xie Shu covered the back of his hand: "Anywhere."

Wei Yizhi smiled and rode his horse slowly.
