Empress with no Virtue Chapter 26: Lianzhu
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!
Judging from appearance alone, Xu Weirong is indeed worthy of the word "stunning". He has a tall figure, an oval face, skin as delicate and fair as a peeled boiled egg, and a pair of very smart watery eyes.
When she greeted Ye Zhenzhen early in the morning, she was surrounded by people. As a rule, Cai Ren could only stand, but considering that she had just received Enlu for the first time, Ye Zhenzhen was very considerate and gave her a seat.
Xu Cairen is the Empress Dowager's niece and the Emperor's cousin, so she makes enemies everywhere like Concubine Li, flirts with cats and dogs like a concubine, and doesn't dare to do anything to her. Therefore, although the emperor rested at her place last night, no one said anything harsh today, and Kunning Palace was in harmony.
However, seeing others being polite to her, Xu Cairen felt secretly bitter in his heart. It was true that Ji Wu Jiu slept next to her last night, but he had not done anything wrong with her from beginning to end. As a daughter, it was not easy for her to take the initiative to seduce him.
Ye Zhenzhen rewarded a few things as usual. Ji Wu Jiu had already warned her not to reward the toad, so today's reward was nothing new. Xu Cairen only glanced at it, had it put away, and stood up to thank him. Considering that because of Ye Zhenzhen's obstruction, Xu Cairen naturally had no good impression of Ye Zhenzhen, so she did not dare to neglect her.
The people around also watched the excitement, and the concubine said, "Look at it, the fragrant wood bracelet that the empress rewarded, it seems that the emperor also has one?"
Wen Jieyu agreed, "That's true. I saw the emperor wearing it a while ago."
Ye Zhenzhen has so many treasures of her own that she can’t remember the origins of most of them. However, she was assured of Su Yue and Su Feng. They would never let her give away the things Ji Wu Jiu had given her.
This bracelet is indeed not a gift from Ji Wu Jiu, but a tribute from a small country in the Western Region. There are only two bracelets. Ji Wu Jiu felt that the fragrance of the bracelets was refreshing and refreshing, so he kept one string and took the remaining items to Kunning Palace for Ye Zhenzhen to share among them. So this other bracelet went to Kunning Palace.
After Xu Cairen heard this, he put on the bracelet when he went back. In the afternoon, she went to see the Queen Mother alone again, and Ji Wu Jiu happened to be there too, and the three of them sat together and talked for a while. Xu Cairen paid close attention to Ji Wu Jiu's wrist, and sure enough he found that he was wearing a string of fragrant beads on his left hand, which was exactly the same as hers.
When leaving, the two of them walked out of Cining Palace one after another. Xu Cairen ignored the difference in status and quickly caught up and took Ji Wu Jiu's arm. Anyway, she has done this before.
"What are you laughing at?" Ji Wu Jiu asked.
"Cousin," Xu Cairen took Ji Wu Jiu's hand and stretched out his hand to show him, "Look."
Ji Wu Jiu was a little uncomfortable hearing that she called him cousin instead of emperor. Then he saw the exact same thing on their wrists and asked, "Where did you get it from?"
"Rewarded by the Queen."
It’s not unusual for the Queen to have this thing. Ji Wu Jiu took back his hand and said nothing.
Xu Cairen approached him with a cute little smile, "Cousin and cousin, they are a perfect match."
Ji Wu Jiu stopped and gently pushed her away, "Is this what the Queen said too?"
The other party's rejection was too obvious, and Xu Cairen lowered his head in despair, "Isn't this a bad thing to say?"
"No, don't say that again in the future," Ji Wu Jiu didn't seem to notice her disappointment. He took off his bracelet and put it in her hand, "Since you like it, I'll give you this too." With that said, he ignored Xu Cairen's reaction and strode away.
Xu Cairen looked down at the beads in his hand, gritted his teeth, and anger gradually climbed into his eyes. She Xu Weirong and Ji Wu Jiu were childhood sweethearts, a true match made in heaven, and she should have been the one standing next to him. It was only because Ye Zhenzhen's grandfather was powerful that his cousin was snatched away by this woman.
How willing she is!
***
Ye Zhenzhen didn’t know why Ji Wu Jiu was so crazy, so she took many memorials and went to her Kunning Palace to approve them.
Although it is a cold winter outside, the Earth Dragon is burning in the Kunning Palace. There are two charcoal pots in the Nuan Pavilion, filled with smokeless fine silver charcoal. They are burning vigorously, making the room as warm as spring. . A pot of daffodils at the door opened in response to the heating. The white, watery flowers exuded a delicate fragrance, which made people feel refreshed just by smelling it.
Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, it’s strange that everyone wants to be the queen, even if they are targeting the earth dragon of Kunning Palace, she cannot be deposed.
When Ji Wu Jiu came, Ye Zhenzhen was playing Huarong Road. The folk wizard named Shi Tianchang also improved Huarong Tao, making it even more complex and incredible. When Ji Wu Jiu saw Ye Zhen Zhen playing, he shamelessly came up to her and solved her problem in a few moments, which made Ye Zhen Zhen roll her eyes.
After approving the memorials for a while, Ji Wu Jiu handed a few copies to Ye Zhenzhen, "I see you are idle and idle all day long, why don't you help me appraise the memorials."
Ye Zhenzhen felt that Ji Wu Jiu had bad intentions before even reading the memorial. The more you jump into pits, the more experience you gain. The contents of these memorials seemed unremarkable. They contained votes from cabinet ministers and were just waiting for the emperor to make the final decision. But upon closer inspection, Ye Zhenzhen could see the murderous intent: one of the documents was from Fang Xiuqing, and it was about the exchange of general soldiers in Datong. It turned out that the commander-in-chief had deducted military pay and caused a mutiny in the army. Ji Wu Jiu was unequivocal and sent people to behead him on the spot. He then confiscated his family property and reissued military pay to appease the morale of the army. Now that the post of chief soldier is vacant, Fang Xiuqing suggested in the memorial that Li Xu be promoted to the new chief soldier.
The problem lies here. Li Xu is the brother-in-law of Ye Zhenzhen's eldest brother Ye Xinfang and belongs to the Ye Party. How can Fang Xiuqing be so attentive to him?
Although Ye Zhenzhen has never seen this Li Xu, she has heard of it. It is said that he is a tiger general, extremely brave, but has a quick temper. He is suitable for killing enemies in battle, but not suitable for strategizing. Datong is an important border town, and barbarians invade the border and disturb the people from time to time. As the commander-in-chief, the responsibility is even greater. It was okay if Ji Wu Jiu didn't agree to this matter, but once he agreed, even though it was a promotion, it would be like putting Li Xu on the fire. Moreover, there is no lone ranger in officialdom. If he makes a mistake alone, Ye will be implicated.
Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself that this old fox Fang was really good at planning. He had a reputation for choosing talents and not avoiding selfish interests, and he also created a problem for the Ye party. Of course, this matter ultimately depends on Ji Wu Jiu's intention, but... what does this **** mean by showing the book to her?
What does Ji Wu Jiu Neng mean? Now he also wants to understand that although Ye Zhenzhen is Ye Xiuming's granddaughter, she is also his Ji Wujiu's wife. The married daughter throws water on her. In any case, this woman is a member of his Ji family. Since In this way, he didn't want to embarrass her anymore. There's just one thing. Since you're married to him, you have to think about him wholeheartedly and not always care about the face and interests of your mother's family.
So he took this memorial to test Ye Zhenzhen. The standard answer should be that Ye Zhenzhen returns the decision-making power to Ji Wujiu and says that no matter what you decide, I, as your wife, will support you; even if you don’t choose the standard answer, if Ye Zhenzhen agrees to Fang Xiuqing’s proposal, Ji Wujiu Blame is also acceptable.
But Ye Zhenzhen chose a contrary answer: she picked up the ink pen, put a big cross on the memorial, and then said, "Li Xu is too brave and foolish to take up this position. I think Mr. Fang chose the right one. Human vision is nothing more than this."
This is Ye Zhenzhen. Ji Wu Jiu thought to himself that it would be unpleasant for him to find her so openly and without reservation.
***
Although it took a hundred days to break her muscles and bones, Ye Zhenzhen's health was already in good condition. With the help of good doctors and medicine, her legs were completely healed in just over two months.
This guy chose a very special way to celebrate being alive again.
That afternoon, Ji Wu Jiu was working hard in the Yangxin Palace. Outside, a **** from the Kunning Palace stumbled in and fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, the Queen is crazy!"
Hearing this, Ji Wu Jiu threw away his pen and went straight to Kunning Palace. Feng Youde ran up to him holding a black cloak and put it on him.
Many people have gathered outside Kunning Palace, including masters and slaves. Everyone has his head raised and his mouth opened unconsciously, like a row of baby birds waiting for food.
Ji Wu Jiu also raised his head, and when he saw the person standing on the roof, he immediately became furious, "Ye Zhen Zhen, get down here!"
Ye Zhenzhen didn't seem to hear him. She stood upright on the roof, her left hand on her hip, and her right hand holding a gun, looking up to the sky and laughing, "Ha! Ha! Ha!!!"
The hearts of the people below are aroused. Kunning Palace is tall and majestic, making Ye Zhenzhen's figure look very small. The roof is steep and it is so far away from the ground. Even a sane person must be extremely careful, let alone the Queen...
Su Yue was so anxious that she almost cried. She just made a mistake and Ye Zhenzhen disappeared. There were so many people in Kunning Palace who didn't know how she got up there.
Wang Youcai led several eunuchs to set up ladders and were climbing up to the roof.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly pulled the trigger toward the sky——
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The eunuch, who could barely reach the eaves of the house, was frightened by the three consecutive vibrations. He fell down along with the ladder, hitting the person holding him below, and rolled to the ground.
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of onlookers, and everyone was so shocked that they backed away.
Only Ji Wu Jiu stood with his hands behind his back, as motionless as a strong pine tree. He stared straight at the figure on the roof, his lips trembling slightly.
——She actually succeeded.
After having enough fun, Ye Zhenzhen stuck the gun on her waist and began to think about how to get down. She used a hook when she came up, and she knew the three-legged cat skill, so it wasn't difficult to get into the house.
But it's a little troublesome to go down now.
Wang Youcai led the eunuchs to start building ladders again.
Ji Wu Jiu didn't care about the emperor's majesty at this time and flew to the eaves, opened his arms and shouted to Ye Zhen Zhen, "Jump down!"
Ye Zhenzhen knew that Ji Wu Jiu was very skilled. So she relaxedly opened her hands and fell down, falling like a gliding bird.
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed again.
Ji Wu Jiu looked up at Ye Zhen Zhen who was falling from the sky. Under the clear sky, the beauty is like a flower. At this moment, time seemed to stop, everything was silent, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.
Thump. thump.
Ye Zhen Zhen plunged into Ji Wu Jiu's arms accurately, and the latter held her and spun her around in a circle, taking the momentum off her body, and then stopped.
Ji Wu Jiu held Ye Zhen Zhen in his arms and did not rush to put her down. Instead, he looked down at her and asked, "How many beads in a row?"
"Six." The answer was concise and to the point.
This time Ji Wujiu looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!!!"
The clear laughter carries a bit of heroic spirit that breaks through the sky. The voice wasn't unpleasant, but coming from Ji Wu Jiu's mouth, it was a bit unacceptable. The onlookers felt their hearts tremble when they heard this, and they all sighed, it's over, it's over, another one has gone crazy...
