Chapter 336 The Shining of Self-Entertainment

8days ago Historical fiction 7
On the corridor in the Xiang Palace in Changde, the solid wood floor is spotless. You can see a woman kneeling on the ground with a rag and rubbing the wood on the ground hard.

Therefore, when Yao Ji walked on it, even if the purple skirt was on the extreme, the silk would not get dirty even if it swept across the floor.

Her close servant Xiaoyue lowered her head and followed her not far behind. The master walked slowly and leisurely without saying anything, and Xiaoyue didn't dare to make any sound.

Yao Ji stopped and turned to look at a plum tree outside the railing. The flowers on the branches were completely blooming.

At this moment, a slight but rapid footsteps sounded on the corridor, and a white-clothed guard with a sword walked over and stopped behind Yao Ji.

Although behind her, the man in white bent down and said softly: Madam, Xia Changshi is back.

The so-called Xia Changshi is one of the four major apologists in the previous sect. Of course, she is not named Xia, but just Xia Yu named after the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

No one knows what their surname is, spring, summer, autumn and winter are their identities.

Xia Yu's background is different from other sects. She was originally a family member of an official in distress and entered the snatching cult at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Others have been snatching cults since childhood, or were originally a palace ladies.

Yao Ji said softly: I just saw the plum blossoms blooming, and I thought it was a hint to see Chunmei, but unexpectedly it was Xia Yu.

The man in white asked carefully: Did you summon Xia Changshi to meet him?Seeing Yao Ji nodding, she took a small step back.

After a while, a woman wearing a green robe and a square scarf walked to the corridor. She was tall, big eyes, and had a calm and calm expression. Her temperament was very different from that of Chunmei and other girls.

Although Yao Ji cultivated her, she didn't like Xia Yu very much; this woman's knowledge and heart were much bigger than Chunmei...

Yao Jiqing knew that women were very jealous, so she was not very satisfied with this woman who had not been completely tamed in her bones.

But even a bad woman like Dongxue, Yao Ji can tolerate it, and she also needs someone like Xia Yu.

When she saw the tall woman in her thirties approaching, she murmured, as if she was saying to Xiaoyue next to her, and as if she was talking to herself: If the person who went to Wuchang this time was still Chunmei, she would probably have no idea.

Xia Yu approached and knelt down on the spotless corridor and bowed: I will return and report to my wife.The woman looks pretty but her voice is a little sandy.

Yao Ji seemed to have not heard it, and without looking at it, she turned around and walked into the room.

Xia Yu originally wanted to get up and follow in because the white-clothed servant had already made clear about Mrs. Yao's intention to summon her; but after thinking for a moment, she still knelt on the ground and did not get up, but instead placed her upper body respectfully on the floor...

Did you do something wrong?

After a while, Xiaoyue walked to the door and said: Why is Xia Changshou still kneeling outside? Go in and talk.

yes.Xia Yu then hurriedly got up.Because of the previous section, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She carefully followed into the room and saw Yao Ji sitting in front of the dressing table to make up her makeup, carefully observing her lips in front of the bronze mirror.

Xiaoyue opened the exquisite small round box on the platform and said: Madam, this is made of pearls picked from Dongting Lake. The pearls in Jianghu are coreless and crystal clear, and the powdering is not as good as those of sea pearls.

Yao Ji then dredged a little rouge made of pearl powder and applied it gently to her lips. When she looked in the bronze mirror, she saw that she was very beautiful and had a pleasant smile on her lips.

Then she said: Xia Yu, let’s talk first.

yes.

Xia Yu bowed and stood beside him and said clearly that his subordinates were ordered to go to Wuchang and reported three things.The first thing is that my subordinates have found out. After the emperor arrived in Wuchang City, there was indeed no Queen Ma with him.Judging from the subordinates, Empress Ma should still be hiding in the mountains, because she has no place to accommodate her except that.We cannot find out the exact location for the time being. Only a few ministers around the emperor know it, but they will not be able to say it so easily.

Yao Ji sighed lightly, It's a pity.She must be self-aware, so she has to continue hiding, but can't stay by Jianwenjun's side... If she has no place to live and dies like this, I will definitely be very disappointed.

Xia Yu whispered: I have a way to say it or not.After getting Yao Ji's consent, she said that General Zhou and Mrs. Zhou knew where that place was...

Yao Ji didn't comment.

Xia Changshi continued: The second thing is that war may start again in the north.More than 20,000 people from the imperial court went to Jingzhou, and tens of thousands of Sichuan troops came from Sichuan, and reinforcements were also provided in Xiangyang and other places.The prince allowed me to enter the official office and listened to several military affairs behind the scenes.Our navy in Yuezhou and most of the Changde camp have been transferred to the West Coast, and the next big battle may be fought near Jingzhou...

The prince allowed me to participate in military affairs, not for other personal reasons. The subordinates meant that they would never dare to lure the prince without his wife's permission like Qiuye... The reason was that the Sichuan army advanced eastward, but we had no news at all. The prince believed that it was because the eunuchs did not understand the general strategy of the military and national affairs, so he neglected Sichuan.He hopes that the Eunuchs' Provincial People's Court can have trustworthy people to participate in the military aircraft.

Yao Ji smiled and said: Taizu has a ancestral teaching, and the harem cannot interfere in politics. Alas...

Xia Changshi said: The prince is very filial to his wife and trusts her very much.

She paused for a moment and continued: The third thing is that her subordinates expressed their intention to move the royal palace to Wuchang Palace in the near future.The prince did not refuse, but seemed reluctant.He first said that Wuchang is too close to the front and is not very stable.But the emperor was also in the Wuchang Prefecture Palace and there was no uneasy situation.Later, the prince finally agreed to his wife's request and ordered another residence in the city, because he had promised the emperor that he would not change the officials and guards in the emperor's palace without authorization. If the wife lives in the palace, it would cause inconvenience.

After hearing this, Yao Ji observed the situation behind her from the bronze mirror. Unfortunately, the scene in the bronze mirror could not be seen clearly after a little distance.

Her face smiled in the mirror...

Can Zhang Ning hide his little thoughts from me?

He was jealous.

She was originally equivalent to a concubine of Zhu Yunwen. Even if she lived in the palace, she would be upright and open. Even if she didn't live in the palace, if she was in Wuchang City, it would be okay to see Emperor Jianwen at any time.

Zhang Ning must also understand this, but he has no reason to object.

He must be very entangled and uncomfortable in his heart?

The war is about to go to the west, which is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people and the general trend of the entire Ming Dynasty.

But Zhang Ning would still be disturbed by such a little thing.

This made Yao Ji feel very happy...

She was thinking: But I can't make him a foolish lord who is obsessed with women. He can have three thousand beauties, but his heart can only be with me, because everything he has given me.

Men can build magnificent buildings like the Forbidden City in the capital and design strict rules and regulations for the YāngYāng Empire. They have broad minds as broad as the world, but their minds are sometimes as simple as a big boy...

Zhang Ning didn't understand such a simple truth.

Yao Ji thought to herself that she had fought with Empress Ma for Emperor Jianwen, and she couldn't even care about her life.

But what is there and what is worth fighting for in Emperor Jianwen now?

Only Queen Ma cares...

Yao Ji's smile showed a little madness: he is just a puppet now, and he is still using it at the mercy of the human race. Being able to be called emperor is just the power behind him and his value is still useful.

It's just a useless old man. It's okay if he sees him getting old every day, but he's already used to seeing him like him. But suddenly he wants to get close to an old man?

And I have to take the initiative to throw myself into my arms, why?

Ha ha……

Just because he let himself have a son?

This reason is really ridiculous!

There is another private matter.

Xia Changshi behind him carefully walked to the dressing table, gently put down a wooden box she carried with her arms, and took out another post. The prince asked me to bring the gift to my wife when I returned to Changde Mansion.

Yao Ji said: Open it and see what it is.

Xia Changshi opened the wooden box as he spoke. Although she had already known what the list of gifts in her hand was, a pile of colorful pearls and gems appeared in front of her eyes. She almost exaggeratedly and hurriedly covered her mouth with exaggerated hands so that she could make a sound without making any rude sound.

Jewelry, enough to be valuable enough, almost no woman can resist their brilliance.

Unfortunately, these things belonged to Xia Changshi. When she saw Yao Ji's beautiful eyes and red lips with pearl pink shining next to a pile of treasures, she finally realized that these things had nothing to do with her, so she calmed down a little.

Here is a list of everything, please check it out.

Xia Changshi said that he had collected several wealthy families, and they were all literati and officials who secretly contacted the enemy and refused to submit a memorial to congratulate the emperor on his re-assination of the throne.

Taking the robbery... Yao Ji said calmly, this kind of thing is really tacky.

She put her fingers into the box, grabbed it, and gradually let it go, and the things still slid from between her fingers back into the box like sand.

Nothing is what I like.Ning'er is a scholar after all, and now she is becoming more and more vulgar. She knows how to use this kind of thing to please me... I don't need them, I give it to you.

Yao Ji looked calm and took it away.

This...this...Xia Changshi's fingers trembled again. This was given to his wife by the prince himself. How dare he take it...

Yao Ji said: It’s mine to give it to me, and now I’ll give it to you.No need to say more, take it away.

Yes Yes Yes!Xia Changshi's hand trembled and stretched out again with great difficulty. She was finally not completely washed away, so she hurriedly asked, "Who do we mean, what do we mean?"

What do you think?I don’t want to see you as powerful as water and fire. Too much internal friction will give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it. Do you understand?

Yao Ji looked at her with a smile, and she still didn't say a word, that is: I don't want to see one of your nostrils vent.

She said again, this is for the good of Xia Changshi, but you can be the first to choose the part you like and reward you.Am I okay with you?

Xia Yu hurriedly knelt down on the ground: Madam is the best person in the world to his subordinates. In this life, I only have Madam.

Only then did she realize that the neglect outside the door before might be knocking on herself, like giving her a stick, but now she is rewarded with a date for eating... Of course, a very good date, a date.

When Xia Yu walked out of Yao Ji's room, she couldn't help but look back and sighed: A woman still has to rely on a powerful man, and Mrs. Yao simply gave birth to a powerful man herself, and that's all her life.
