The next day was for rest, Ji Wu Jiu rarely woke up later than Ye Zhen Zhen. When Ye Zhenzhen opened her eyes, she saw him lying next to her. It was hot and he couldn't hold her, so he only held her hand and clasped their fingers together.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand and looked at it, then covered her mouth with her other hand and yawned. She sat up and looked down at Ji Wu Jiu's face. A face like a jade sculpture, fast asleep, with its defenses off, its brows relaxed, as quiet and beautiful as a painting.
She lowered her head and kissed him on the face.
After the kiss, Ye Zhenzhen regained consciousness. She thought about what happened yesterday, and when she looked at the sleeping person in front of her, she felt that his face looked disgusting. She pried open her trapped fingers, and then pushed Ji Wu Jiu out inch by inch.
Boom! Ji Wu Jiu was pushed out of the bed and fell to the ground.
Ye Zhenzhen quickly lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
Ji Wu Jiu opened his eyes in confusion and found himself lying on the ground after being confused for a moment. He sat up on the edge of the bed. The apricot gauze curtain shook slightly, and a motionless person could be vaguely seen lying on his side inside.
He shamelessly climbed back onto the bed and held Ye Zhenzhen in his arms from behind.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't pretend anymore and went to break his hand on her waist.
Ji Wu Jiu closed his eyes and chuckled, "Zhen Zhen, stop making trouble." As he said that, he rubbed his chin against her neck.
Ye Zhenzhen twisted her body uncomfortably, "Who is causing trouble?"
"It's me, why don't I make a fuss?" Ji Wu Jiu pressed her down, "Don't move. If you do, I'll punish you."
As expected, Ye Zhenzhen stopped moving. At this time, her stomach suddenly made a sound.
Ji Wu Jiu knew very well how important eating was to Ye Zhen Zhen, so he immediately got up with her, washed, changed clothes, and had a meal.
After eating, Ji Wu Jiu pretended to leave. Seeing that he was about to cross the threshold, Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly said, "What's going on with Bai Xiang Ru."
Ji Wu Jiu took back his foot that was about to cross the threshold, turned around, walked back and sat down, smiling, "You finally asked."
Ye Zhenzhen turned her face away, "Why don't you tell me if I don't ask you?"
Ji Wu Jiu asked back, "If I don't tell you, why don't you ask?"
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head and did not answer.
Ji Wu Jiu stood up and walked to her, holding her shoulders and pressing her into his arms. Ye Zhenzhen was sitting on the chair and bent over, her face pressed against his abdomen. She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to move away, so she turned her head sideways and pressed her face against his abdomen, closing her eyes and saying nothing.
Ji Wu Jiu rubbed her chin and smiled, "Zhen Zhen, I like to see you jealous for me."
Ye Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Don't tell me that you were so devastated when you first met Bai Xiangru that you were just pretending to make me jealous."
"No, I was really shocked by her resurrection. I had some connection with her in the past, and I was really ashamed that I failed to protect her, so I was really happy to see that she was still alive."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him suspiciously, "Nothing else?"
Ji Wu Jiu then lowered his head, like a student in school who made a mistake in front of his teacher, "Zhen Zhen, I have something to confess to you. She and I... have done some intimate things before."
It's so subtle. Ye Zhenzhen pushed him away, "What about now."
Ji Wu Jiu squatted down, held her knees, looked up at her with a smile, "Now, you have locked me up and no one else can touch me."
Ye Zhenzhen blushed with embarrassment, turned away and whispered, "Funny words."
Ji Wu Jiu grabbed Ye Zhen Zhen's hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. Ye Zhen Zhen pulled back and asked, "But what are you going to do with her now?"
A palace maid, after all, had a relationship with the emperor, so it stands to reason that she should be promoted to a minor master. Although Ye Zhenzhen is a lover, there are so many lovers in the harem who are lovers of hers, not just this one. But looking at the intentions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, it seems that neither of them intends to give her a status. What are they planning? The Queen Mother will not say anything, but where is Ji Wu Jiu? Is it really because the lingering feelings are lingering and you want to get close to her secretly?
When Ye Zhenzhen thought of this, she glared at Ji Wu Jiu.
How could Ji Wu Jiu not know what she was thinking, "My Zhen Zhen is so cute," he said, standing up, "Just do whatever you say."
Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, Bai Xiangru was nominally given to the emperor by the Queen Mother, and it was not good for the Queen to interfere without authorization. Therefore, he said, "Why don't you ask her what she wants first? If she wants to stay in the palace, she should naturally have a title. If she wants to leave the palace, you can just make a decision and marry her to a good family. That's all. If she can't get up, she's unbecoming, and she really wants to be a slave, why not come to my Kunning Palace, I'm a good-tempered master, and I won't treat her badly."
"Okay, that's it. Let's not talk about it for now. I have something else to discuss with you. I guarantee that you will be happy after hearing it."
The thing that Ji Wu Jiu said could make Ye Zhen Zhen dance with joy was the private visit he had planned recently. The affluent areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have naturally become areas hardest hit by officials' corruption and perversion of the law. Since he was going to implement the New Deal, he planned to pick out the leaders first and rectify them, so as to scare the monkeys.
Sure enough, when Ye Zhenzhen heard that she was going to Jiangnan, she immediately became energetic.
The two discussed carefully again, who to bring, what to bring, what route to take, where to go first, where to go next, what to do if something urgent happens...
After talking for a while, Ji Wujiu returned to Qianqing Palace, called Bai Xiangru over, and asked her what Ye Zhenzhen meant.
In fact, even though he was following Ye Zhenzhen's wishes, Ji Wu Jiu also had his own plans, but he didn't need to disclose them for the time being. He would naturally find out when the time came.
When Bai Xiangru heard that the queen wanted to send her away, she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I am the first slave to live in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. There are many difficulties. The only thing that keeps me alive is to see you again. I look forward to seeing you again day and night. Hope, it’s so easy to come back to you again. I can see you and serve you every day. I know that I am clumsy. I hope that the master can take the slave’s loyalty into account. If the slave does not do well, you can just scold me. Please don’t drive this slave away!”
Ji Wu Jiu sighed, "Isn't it a hundred times better for me to help you find a husband among the children of aristocratic families than in the deep palace?"
Bai Xiangru looked at him infatuatedly, "Master, why would you say such a thing? How can I marry someone else since I have already received your kindness?"
The implication is that you have slept with me and now you want to marry me to someone else? late!
Seeing that Ji Wu Jiu was speechless by her, she tried to persuade her again, "I know that you are harmoniously singing the harp with the Queen. The Queen must be a little bit worried about the old things between you and me, and feels that I am an eyesore to her. . In this case, I will avoid Feng Jia whenever I see him from now on, and I will never disturb you and the Queen, okay?"
What he said was true, he had no regrets and was absolutely infatuated. He put himself in a very humble position and begged for a little mercy from the other party.
Low EQ has the advantage of being low in EQ. Ji Wu Jiu basically doesn’t act like a woman. He always calmly analyzes things when he encounters them. His time to touch emotions is very limited. He felt a little guilty towards Bai Xiangru and wanted to make it up to her, so he was kinder to her than to ordinary slaves, but that was all. What's more, her father is Bai Jiancheng, how could Ji Wu Jiu be unprepared?
So she cried in front of him, pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be innocent, but he was indifferent. Now when he heard her say this, he got to the core of the problem in a shameless way, "Although you don't see her, you see me every day. Not good."
Bai Xiangru was almost furious. Based on her understanding of Ji Wu Jiu, although he was thoughtful, he was by no means a gentle and considerate person. However, such a person could always be so considerate when it came to matters related to the Queen that it was enviable. She was secretly resentful in her heart, but remained calm on the outside as she cried, "I wholeheartedly want to stay with the Emperor. Even if we can't meet each other, I still want to be closer to you. I beg the Emperor to grant your permission."
This is the route to promotion. Ji Wu Jiu looked down at the person kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashed slightly, and he agreed.
***
Ji Wu Jiu followed Ye Zhen Zhen’s suggestion and made Bai Xiangru a beauty. Beauty is the fifth grade. This grade is said by Bai Xiang Tathagata to be high or low, or low or low. Ye Zhenzhen played a trick and arranged her in the Bajiao Pavilion. This place was at the northeast corner of the East Sixth Palace. Ji Wu Jiu might not be able to get there even if he took a walk.
The Queen Mother found out about this. Although she was dissatisfied, she had nothing to say. The queen did this justly, and she couldn't find any reason to do so.
A few days later, Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen got ready and headed south. Before leaving, they were afraid that the Queen Mother would cause trouble, so Ji Wu Jiu personally ordered Concubine Zhuang to take care of the affairs of the harem temporarily, and then they left with peace of mind.
Because the purpose was to eradicate corruption, official resources would have to be mobilized at that time, so Ji Wu Jiu also gave Ye Zhen Zhen a secret order to serve as an imperial envoy in case of emergencies.
The two of them walked all the way from the capital to Jinling, having fun while walking, admiring the scenery along the way, and tasting delicacies from various places, without feeling tired.
Ji Wu Jiu has been diligent in political affairs since he came to the throne, and has been protected by famous ministers. Therefore, in the past few years, Da Qi has been governed peacefully, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. From time to time, he stopped people on the road and asked a few questions, including where he was from, how his life was, whether his parents were good officials, and how he would evaluate the current emperor...
Because of the openness of public opinion, ordinary people are bold enough to answer whatever they ask without hesitation. Speaking of the emperor, everyone's overall evaluation is good. The only dissatisfaction is the emperor's sleeping in flowers and willows incident. Of course, it is inevitable for men to make mistakes. Now that the emperor has admitted his mistake, he should be given a chance to change his ways.
Ji Wu Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, Empress Jiutian Xuannv, you are too powerful...
Yes, if it weren't for the fact that he married the "Xuannv Empress", who would have been thinking about the emperor's visit to the flower house.
So, Ji Wu Jiu was not surprised when he found that almost everyone praised the current empress.
Zhen Zhen's prestige was much higher than his. As a man and a husband, Ji Wu Jiu felt a little frustrated. But it doesn't matter, no matter how amazing Xuannv Empress is, she will still be suppressed by him at night. Ji Wu Jiu thought wretchedly.
