Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 165 Bestowing Concubine Jing, the Emperor Blind
Sure enough, Ruan Eryue and the others guessed that Ruan Jing's entry into the palace, although not known to the whole world, was spread in the capital, and the people in the streets and alleys continued to discuss it.

Xiahou Zhu was delighted to find a beautiful woman, and because of Ruan Hongwei's face, he waved his hand and domineeringly bestowed on Ruan Jing the title of "Concubine Jing."

Ruan Jing's wish came true, and she felt a little regretful that she couldn't be Xiahou Yin's sidekick, but in the end, she kept this regret as a secret for the sake of future stability.

However, what method did Ruan Hongwei use to make Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Jing get what they wanted?
It turned out that since it was decided to send Ruan Jing to the palace, Ruan Hongwei had been forced by Mrs. Ruan to think of a way all day long, and wanted to find an opportunity to send Ruan Jing to Xiahou Zhu's side.

His status is awkward now, he is Xiahou Zhu's right-hand man on the one hand, and Xiahou Yin's prospective father-in-law on the other.No matter which side it is slightly biased, it is still a headache.

If Xiahou Zhu found out about sending Ruan Jing to the palace in such a hurry, he might doubt whether he had any intentions.

To put it mildly, I am not satisfied with the glory and wealth I have now, and want to use my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine to improve my status;

If this is a bigger story, I am afraid that Ruan Hongwei may have some unruly intentions.Or is it for his prospective son-in-law Xiahou Yin, what do you want to do by taking the opportunity?

Therefore, Ruan Hongwei was very embarrassed.

But Mrs. Ruan couldn't stop talking all day long, which made Ruan Hongwei even more headache.

After thinking about it, I decided not to report this matter to Xiahou Zhu, and instead of asking him to issue an imperial edict to call Ruan Jing into the palace to serve.Otherwise, according to Xiahou Zhu's suspicious temperament, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket fetching water in the end is a waste of time, but the whole Ruan Mansion is affected.

Finally, in the last few days of July, Ruan Hongwei found his chance.

On July 22, the weather was fine, and Xiahou Zhu was free. After the early court, he went to the Nanshan Royal Hunting Ground to hunt with Zhou Wang and other young princes and sons of the royal family and nobles.

Ruan Hongwei hurried back to the mansion, and made nervous preparations with Mrs. Ruan.

The newly dressed Ruan Jing took Ye'er, Han Xiang, and a lot of gifts and went to the foot of Nanshan with great excitement.

The royal hunting ground is guarded by a farmer. The husband and wife are both in their sixties and have no children.He has been guarding the foot of Nanshan Mountain all his life, guarding this dense forest and the royal hunting ground halfway up the mountain.

The old man of this peasant family was originally Ruan Hongwei's father, a follower of General Ruan, who once went out with General Ruan, and accidentally fell off his horse on the battlefield and broke his legs.

Of course, it was entirely because of protecting Old General Ruan that he fell down, not because of himself.Although the legs were connected later, they walked with a limp after all, and could never go to the battlefield again.

Old General Ruan thought of his loyalty and diligence, so he asked the late emperor for this idle position.

Over the years, Ruan Hongwei has also visited this benefactor many times.

This time things were very embarrassing, after Ruan Hongwei knew Xiahou Zhu's whereabouts, he had no choice but to find this Uncle Zhang.Explaining the ins and outs to him clearly, Zhang Bo thought of the old general's kindness, and agreed very readily.

Therefore, at dusk, Xiahou Zhu and the King of Zhou passed by the foot of Nanshan Mountain with a fruitful harvest.Then I saw a very elegantly dressed Qingli beauty, and two little maids, washing clothes by the river.

I am used to seeing concubines with coquettish and heavy makeup in the harem, but seeing such a clean and elegant beauty today, Xiahou Zhu's eyes were firmly attracted.

Xia Hourui saw Xia Houzhu stopped in his tracks and stared intently at the girl washing clothes by the river. He understood with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Brother Emperor, we are all tired today. Zhang Bo's house is in front of us. Why don't we go?" Take a rest and return to Beijing?"

Xiahou Zhu nodded again and again, "That's right, since that's the case, if everyone is tired, let's take a rest before returning to Beijing!"

Looking at your greedy eyes with golden stars, you're not tired, it's just that you can't move when you see a beautiful woman, okay?

Xia Hourui was contemptuous in his heart, but he smiled and greeted the eldest sister to go to Zhang Bo's house.

By the way, I just want to find out whose family this elegant beauty who appeared by the river is from.Uncle Zhang has guarded the royal hunting ground for many years, but everyone knows that there is no girl in his family.

So, a group of people went to Zhang Bo's house with high spirits.

Uncle Zhang was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, and Aunt Zhang was making dinner.

Seeing Xiahou Zhu and others coming, Zhang Bo quickly put down the things in his hands and knelt down to pay his respects.

Xiahou Zhu cried out with a smile, but didn't speak, and didn't ask who the girl by the river was.Several people sat together, eating peanuts and walnuts grown by Zhang Bo's family, chatting.

Soon, Aunt Zhang made dinner.

While serving it to Xiahou Zhu and others, he whispered to Uncle Zhang, "Old man, why don't you hurry up and see if Miss Jing'er is back? It's getting dark now, so hurry up and have dinner."

Zhang Bo agreed to go.

Miss Jinger?

Thinking of the quiet side face of the girl I saw just now, she was concentrating on washing her clothes.Xiahou Zhu was scratching his heart and lungs, and the name Chi Guoguo was also a whimsical one.

Xia Hourui couldn't help asking, "Aunt Zhang, who is that Jing'er girl? Is it a relative of your family, or is it?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, he asked this to help Xiahou Zhu.I hope it won't be spread, otherwise my wife will pull her ears again when she returns home.

Thinking of Su Lingyue's frowning look, Xia Hourui said hastily, "Of course, I'll help others to find out."

Aunt Zhang looked like "I understand, don't explain", and replied with a smile, "Prince Zhou, Miss Jing'er is not a relative of the old slave. She is the eldest daughter of General Ruan and the eldest lady of the Ruan Mansion." .”

"Oh? Since she is General Ruan's daughter, how could she appear here? Still here, washing clothes for you?"

Now, even Xiahou Zhu was curious and asked subconsciously.

"Miss Jing'er is said to be the eldest lady of the Ruan family, but she doesn't have the temper of a lady at all. I know that the old slave and the old man are old and have no children. So, I often visit the old slave and the old man, and bring a lot of them every time I come back. Supplies for food and clothing. Besides, he also helped the old slave do a lot of things.”

Aunt Zhang said with a smile, and then pointed to the food on the table, "Today's delicious fresh vegetables and meat are all brought by Miss Jing'er."

Xiahou Zhu nodded in admiration, and his affection for the "Miss Jing'er" who was blown into the sky by Mrs. Zhang increased a lot.

The big guys were chatting when they heard Uncle Zhang's voice coming in from outside the yard, "Oh, Miss Jing'er, you can go in and eat quickly. These clothes, I just hang them here."
