168. Bandit Emperor (14) (1/2)

Ji Xiawan didn't know why, but tears started to fall when he held her like that.

She cried like a child. In her memory, since her mother's death, Ji Xiawan never had the chance to cry like this again.

Those who could love her and give her support were gone.

At this moment, Mingming was not familiar with Wei Mingyan yet, and should treat him carefully as she had imagined. But listening to his promise and feeling his tenderness, the grievances that she had suppressed for these years fell like a flood.

Ziru, who was guarding outside the house, heard the crying inside, and her expression suddenly became anxious. She raised her foot and was about to knock on the door.

The two maids stopped her, "Don't worry, the girl was just wronged, and she couldn't help it when she saw the emperor."

They were all old people in the palace of the previous dynasty. They were able to survive the chaos and successfully get such a good job. They had already become smart people.

When the emperor sent the selected people to the future queen's home, he told them that the queen would be their only master, and they would be well only if the queen was well.

The two didn't understand why the emperor said that at first, but they saw it clearly when they came to the Ji family.

The emperor was deliberately trying to support the queen.

Originally, the palace speculated that his majesty wanted to marry Miss Ji as soon as he ascended the throne without even selecting a concubine because Miss Ji was the blood of General Zhou.

After all, although General Zhou had passed away for seven years and Emperor Tianshun never mentioned him, his contribution to Jin was by no means indelible. Just say that General Zhao, who followed his majesty to fight this time, hadn't he worked under General Zhou?

For Jin, General Zhou was their patron saint, especially for the people. For so many years, many people still secretly worshipped General Zhou's tablet at home.

Many people secretly speculated that the new emperor might want to rely on the prestige left by General Zhou to gain some momentum, so he wanted to marry a daughter of a mere governor as his queen.

A queen without a family background, whose stepsister was even an abandoned princess, when His Majesty began to select concubines in the future and the daughters of various ministers entered the palace as concubines, how could she compete with those young ladies who had been taught since childhood.

The two maids felt bitter. They originally just wanted to take this opportunity to be a springboard, but they didn't expect that they were directly positioned by His Majesty to follow Miss Ji for life.

But since things have come to this point, they don't complain about the world, and they cheered up to serve the future master. After all, the two of them have many means and can always help Miss Ji gain a foothold in this deep palace.

Originally, they were mentally prepared, but when they came to this room and saw Ji Xiawan for the first time, the two maids knew that they were wrong.

They have all been in the harem for many years, and they can tell whether a woman is still a virgin with just a few glances. What's more, Miss Ji's belly has grown.

Seeing that the imperial physician sent by His Majesty did not look surprised at all, they suppressed their surprise and felt happy.

If a commoner woman is pregnant before getting married, it would definitely be a shame, but their master is the future queen.

Her husband is the master of the world. As long as he says a word, who dares to say no.

What's more, they originally thought that Miss Ji was just the daughter of a governor, but they didn't expect to find out that she was so good-looking when they met her. Although she acted a little timidly and looked like she had something on her mind, as long as time went on, they would definitely see this master stand up.

The original conjecture was suppressed, and the two maids cheered up to serve the queen who would follow them for the rest of their lives. Since His Majesty had feelings for her and the queen was pregnant with a dragon seed, they had the ability to help her settle down in the harem safely.

The two were full of confidence, and they had already thought of a thousand ways to deal with the concubines in the future. They must protect Miss Ji and help her give birth to a dragon fetus safely.

But they didn't expect that Miss Ji would get into trouble in such a short time.

The two maids were trained in the deep palace, but they had been here for too short a time. They knew that Miss Ji didn't trust them completely. They wanted to fight for her but couldn't say it directly. So one of them hurried to serve the unconscious master, and the other went to ask Miss Zhou.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty came before half an hour.

Listening to the girl's cry as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances, the two maids stood on the left and right and exchanged glances, full of joy.

It's okay to cry, men like to cry.

Even if His Majesty was three points distressed at this moment, Miss Ji's crying could make it seven points.

How could they know that even if Ji Xiawan didn't cry, the new king's love for her was already ten points.

"Okay, okay, it's okay to cry..."

The new king patted Ji Xiawan's back with a stiff and gentle voice, and the voice was the gentlest that the soldiers had never heard.

After Ji Xiawan finished crying, her whole mind was blank.

When she woke up, it was the handsome man who was carefully wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief, his eyes full of caution.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of something, and helped the bed down to get the luggage, "The minister has seen..."

Before she bowed down completely, she was supported by a pair of strong hands.

The new king in front of her smiled at her, "So polite?"

As he spoke, he helped her sit on the bed. Looking at the girl beside him who was stiff and almost scared, Wei Mingyan's voice was also filled with smile.

"You don't look like you did when we just met."

Ji Xiawan's already stiff body stiffened again. For her, it was not a very good memory after all.

Although she no longer hated him because of Wei Mingyan's proper arrangement, how could she forget those embarrassments?

While thinking, the cold hand was suddenly held carefully by the man. Ji Xiawan trembled, nervous and scared, but she didn't dare to resist. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she almost cried, "Your Majesty..."

After all, she was taught by her mother. It was okay that she was poisoned before, but now, they are not married yet...

Ji Xiawan was afraid, but she didn't dare to resist. After all, the person in front of her had become the new king.

Just when she was about to cry again, Wei Mingyan held her hand, put it in front of his chest, and hit her.

He smiled and said, "Why are you like a rabbit today? I still remember that when we first met, you beat me like this."

Ji Xiawan subconsciously retracted her hands, but still couldn't get rid of Wei Mingyan's shackles, so she could only cry and whisper, "It was the minister who was rude..."

"No, I don't think it's rude at all."

Wei Mingyan still said with a smile, "At that time, I opened my eyes and saw you. You looked like the fairy the storyteller said. I couldn't take my eyes off you. Later, you got up and beat me, crying and beating me, but your hands were I have no strength, and it doesn't hurt at all, just like scratching an itch. "

"At that time, I felt guilty, but I also thought you were pretty, and I thought I must marry you and take you home to be my wife."

The man said, and suddenly became serious, "I was sorry for you at the beginning. After sending you back, I let you take care of the child alone. I came to pick you up after such a long time. Can you forgive me?"

After Xinjun finished speaking, he looked at Ji Xiawan with expectation and some nervousness, but found that she lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and didn't reach out to lift her face.

Ji Xiawan didn't know why she was crying. She always thought she didn't like to cry, but in front of this man, she seemed to be unable to help.

She was crying silently, and suddenly heard the voice next to her stop. She pursed her lips, and when she wanted to take a sneak peek, the person next to her suddenly bent down and looked at her from below.

Ji Xiawan lowered her head, and Wei Mingyan lowered his head and looked up at her, and the two of them met each other's eyes.

"You, why are you crying?"

Before she could react, Xinjun panicked. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped her tears carefully.

"Wanwan, can I call you that?"

The gentle voice of a man came to her ears. Ji Xiawan tried to hold back her tears and nodded.

Xinjun breathed a sigh of relief. While wiping her tears, he kept talking, "I have heard what Qing Ziru said. Don't worry. I didn't know that you were wronged before, but now that I have ascended the throne, none of those people can escape."

Ji Xiawan was startled, and she didn't bow her head. She raised her eyes and looked at the people around her. He was wiping her tears. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately smiled.

She clenched her hands nervously, her lips moved again and again, and then she whispered what she wanted to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't call me Your Majesty, it sounds strange."

Wei Mingyan wiped his tears, held her hand again, and said softly, "Wanwan, I was just an ordinary idiot, spending the rest of my life in a daze every day. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be here today."

Ji Xiawan raised her eyelashes with tears in surprise, "Because of me?"

What does this have to do with her?

"Of course."

The handsome new king looked at her seriously, "When I first saw you, you were dressed in white, a lady from a wealthy family, and looked like a fairy in the sky."

His straightforward boasting made Ji Xiawan blush, and even her heart seemed to beat faster.

She always thought that was her most embarrassing moment, but in the eyes of the people in front of her, wasn't it like that?

Wei Mingyan continued, "At that time, I was dirty, my face was not clean, and I had only a few copper coins on my body. I was as miserable as I could be. I wanted to take responsibility and marry you, but how could I show my face in that state."

As he spoke, Ji Xiawan also remembered.

Indeed, at that time, the new king in front of her was more miserable than she looked.

The tension in her heart gradually subsided, and she listened quietly to the man's magnetic and pleasant voice.

"I guessed that you were the daughter of the governor's family, and I knew that I was not worthy of you, but I wanted to marry you so much."

"Once I looked at the bright moon in the sky and thought, you are just like that bright moon, bright and beautiful. I want to take responsibility, but you are so good, how can I be worthy of you in my appearance."

Ji Xiawan's face was no longer red, but hot.

When she was young, everyone said that her parents loved each other and her father doted on her mother, but she had only seen her father compare people with poems, and occasionally the two of them played the piano and painted together, but she had never seen such straightforwardness.

What's more, this man never forgot to praise her every three sentences, which made Ji Xiawan, who seemed to have entered the dust since her mother's death and no one said a good word to her, feel ashamed and couldn't help feeling happy.

She fluttered her eyelashes nervously and spoke carefully, "Then, did you start a rebellion?"

"Yes." Xinjun answered affirmatively, "I am from a poor family and have not read much. What's more, I am charged with desertion. It is impossible for me to sit in a high position openly, but I want to marry you, and I want you to marry me with a grand wedding."

"Wanwan."

Wei Mingyan held Ji Xiawan's hand and saw that she also looked at him carefully, and every word was sonorous and powerful.

"This world was originally built for you."

Ji Xiawan's heart was beating like a drum, and her tongue was numb.

He actually said that it was for her.

So, he actually cared about her so much?

But, but they only met once...

Ji Xiawan couldn't tell what she was thinking at the moment, she only knew that she was flustered and shy, full of complexity.

"I know."

Wei Mingyan looked at her expression and said gently, "When we first met, you hated me..."

"The look you gave me at that time was full of hatred and disgust. If you hadn't been incapable at that time, you would have killed me with a sword."

"You can't accept me now..."

"No..."

Listening to the man belittling himself, the girl who had always been taciturn finally couldn't help but speak. Although her voice was inaudible, Wei Mingyan was close and could still hear it clearly.

Ji Xiawan's eyelashes trembled constantly, but she still managed to say what she wanted to say clearly, "I hated you at that time, but later you sent me back and helped me cover it up, so I didn't hate you that much."

"After that... I learned from Ziru what you did for me..."

She was too nervous, and her voice was a little intermittent. After she finished speaking, she timidly raised her eyes, which were more moist because of crying, to look at Wei Mingyan, but she saw that his eyes had already brightened.

"Wanwan, I thought you hated me."

The man held her hand excitedly, with joy in his eyes, "So you like me too?"

Ji Xiawan was stunned. When did she say she liked me?

"I, I mean..."

Wei Mingyan had already come to his own conclusion, "Since we love each other, it's better to get married as soon as possible."

As he said that, he carefully reached out his hand again, and before Ji Xiawan could react, he gently touched her bulging belly.

"And our child, although I don't care about these, I want to bring you to my side as soon as possible."

Ji Xiawan had no objection. She had stayed in the small courtyard all day long before, and only Ziru was close to her. Although her belly was getting bigger day by day, it was winter, so she could cover it up by wearing more clothes.

It was still young now. If she waited any longer, the child would not be covered up, and there would be rumors.

She was thinking about it, and heard someone around her say with some expectation, "I don't know if this is a little prince or a little princess. When the child is born, we must teach him well."

Ji Xiawan's body stiffened for a moment, "Prince?"

"Yes."

Wei Mingyan said naturally, "If our child is a boy, he will naturally be the prince."

Ji Xiawan didn't know what to say.

She originally thought that being able to become the queen was a sign that the person in front of her valued her, but he actually wanted to establish a prince.

She should be happy, but being trapped in the countryside for seven years was enough to make Ji Xiawan cautious.

Her family is not high-ranking. If the child she just gave birth to is made the crown prince, and other powerful concubines give birth to princes in the future, her child will be a ready-made target.

"Your Majesty, the child is still young, and you still have to pay attention to his character and talent. If he is made the crown prince now, other princes will be more outstanding than him in the future..."

"Then let our other sons go to other countries to be emperors." Wei Mingyan seemed to be addicted to this touch, and he carefully stroked the place where his child should sleep with love in his eyes.

Ji Xiawan was still a little worried. She had heard that the emperor had three thousand beauties in the harem. The new monarch had just ascended the throne and it was not clear yet, but in the future, there would definitely be a selection to fill the harem. At that time, even if one person gave birth to a son, it would not be as easy as the new monarch said.

But she didn't dare to say too much to Wei Mingyan now, for fear that he would think she was ungrateful.

The man in white was still saying:

"Our child must be the best. Even if nothing else works, it would be good to be a king who maintains the status quo in the future with the guidance of the two of us."

"By the way."

The new king suddenly thought of something and looked at the future queen beside him. "Wanwan, I have been poor since I was a child and have never been to school. Although I later learned to read military books, my handwriting is still too unbearable to look at. Please teach me how to write."

Ji Xiawan didn't quite understand why the topic jumped to this point. "Your Majesty, my handwriting is too feminine. If you want to learn, you should..."

"No, I just think your handwriting is very elegant and beautiful. When I miss you but can't see you, I will copy your calligraphy and treat it as if we have met."

Wei Mingyan paused as soon as he finished speaking. Sure enough, seeing Ji Xiawan's puzzled eyes, he laughed, "You know, I miss you too much, so I asked Qing Ziru to bring a few copies of the Buddhist scriptures you copied."

His expression was a little embarrassed, as if he was afraid that Ji Xiawan would be angry, "It's just two times, don't be angry, I won't do it next time."

Now that she is married, there is naturally no need for those vulgar things.

Ji Xiawan looked at him carefully apologizing, and the defense in her heart that had been caused by his words completely disappeared.

"If your majesty really wants to learn calligraphy, I have a few pieces of calligraphy here, all of which are from old Lord Wang..."

"Call me your majesty again."

The new king grabbed her hand and said softly, "Wanwan, you and I are husband and wife, there is no need to be so unfamiliar. In the future, call me Mingyan."

Ji Xiawan stared at him in a daze. She knew she shouldn't do that, but her face turned red again, "Yes..."

"Come on, call me first and practice."

The handsome new king smiled at her and waited quietly for her to speak.

Ji Xiawan shrank back nervously, her eyelashes fluttering subconsciously, and she spoke softly, "Mingyan..."

Hearing this, the new king immediately seemed to have taken an elixir, and the cold and hard face he had when fighting outside softened, "Hey, Wanwan."

It was just a name, but Ji Xiawan's heartbeat was faster than when Wei Mingyan touched her hand before.

She always felt that this was a bit bad.

She seemed to really like the person in front of her...

***

The soldiers in fine armor stood outside the Ji family with their chests and heads held high. The people around had already adapted to the new king, and the streets were bustling again. At this moment, they quietly looked over here.

The servants of the Ji family ran to find Ji's father, who was drinking and reciting poems with his old friends in the restaurant.

Ji's father received such great news today. After years of planning, he actually became the father-in-law of the country. Even though he always maintained his status and attitude, he couldn't help but be happy.

It happened that several of his friends came to congratulate him, and they went to drink and recite poetry together.

As for why he didn't stay at home, he had worked hard for so many years and finally made it, so of course he had to go out and meet people.

Sure enough, if he met a familiar face along the way, he would congratulate him first, and his words were almost full of envy. Before he even reached the restaurant, Ji's father was almost drunk.

When he was drinking happily, the servants in the mansion came to him. Even though it was such a cold day, he broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Master, the emperor has come to the mansion."

Just with this sentence, Ji's father was startled and sobered up from the jar of wine he had drunk.

He quickly asked someone to bring water to clean his face and rinse his mouth, and bought a new set of clothes to change into, for fear that the emperor would see him drunk.

After hurrying back to the mansion, he saw the bloody guards standing upright and surrounding his mansion. This looked like a house search, which frightened Ji's father out of his cold sweat.

Fortunately, he entered the mansion smoothly and was taken directly to the courtyard that had just been changed for his daughter. There were people kneeling outside, and his new wife knelt in front with Ji Xia Ting.

Ji's father's eyes were throbbing. Didn't he have already ordered to lock Ji Xia Ting in the room?

If the person inside saw the former princess, would he feel good?

Now was not the time to think about these things. Ji's father secretly glared at his new wife and knelt in front of them respectfully.

Seeing the eunuch go in and report, Ji's father couldn't help but think about it.

Why did the emperor go directly into his daughter's courtyard? This was unreasonable.

But the new emperor was born in the mud, so it was normal for him not to care about these things. It was even better for him. The last time he saw Wan'er, she looked really good. The new emperor had worked his way up from the bottom, so he must not have seen much of the world.

Now it was a good thing that he was fascinated by Wan'er before the wedding. The queen was favored, and he, the father-in-law, could have a say.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the curtain opened, and a man in white came out, followed by the guards waiting at the door.

Seeing the pair of shoes stop in front of him, Ji's father was very excited, "Your Majesty, Ji Wu pays homage to His Majesty."

Behind him, Ji Xia Ting followed and shouted again, and when she heard a magnetic voice shouting, she helped her mother stand up.

When he raised his eyes, he saw the appearance of the new emperor.

He was handsome and tall, much better than King Liang.

At first, she thought that the prince of Liang was only one year older than her, and even if he looked ordinary, he should be a handsome young man. Unexpectedly, because he was the only child, he was loved by the elders in the palace. He had a round belly and was obsessed with women.

When she married, the prince of Liang already had several concubines, not to mention the servants who served him.

Ji Xia Ting's fantasy about her future husband was shattered on the wedding night, so she only wanted to give birth to a legitimate son. As a result, the prince of Liang passed away, and the prince became the new prince of Liang and had to observe mourning. He messed around with those concubines, and if she got pregnant, he would give her a bowl of abortion pills, but he couldn't treat her like this as a princess.

She always hated her bad luck. It was not easy to be in mourning, but she didn't get pregnant. But now that the previous dynasty was destroyed, looking at the heroic new monarch in front of her, Ji Xia Ting suddenly felt grateful.

Ji Xiating never doubted her beauty. After all, her aunt told her that she looked most like her. Although the King of Liang brought one beauty after another into the palace, he did not neglect her.

What's more, she is still young now, two years younger than the sick Ji Xiawan in the house, and she is better at pleasing men than her. The new king has worked his way up from the mud legs, and there are no complicated rules of those big families. As the sister of Ji Xiawan, the future queen, if she is willing, is she afraid that she can't get close to the new king?

Ji Xiating had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she still lowered her eyes slightly after taking a look, and lowered her head slightly in a quiet and dignified manner.

Most of the concubines in the King of Liang's palace are beautiful and capable. Ji Xiating can always get the favor of the King of Liang, of course, not only because of her beauty. From this angle, Wei Mingyan thinks that she should be pitiful.

As long as the new king takes a look, he will definitely leave a deep impression.

Wei Mingyan did take a look, but only a glance. Ji Wu then carefully welcomed him to the lobby. For a moment, outside Ji Xiawan's yard, only the kneeling servants and Ji Xiating and her daughter were left.

The new lady almost tore her handkerchief. Her beautiful eyes looked at the yard with jealousy, "It's a good thing she got this."

If she had known that Ji Xiawan would have a chance to turn things around, she should have poisoned her to death.

"Mother, be careful."

Ji Xiating still had a dignified smile on her face, but her eyes looked at the servants around her coldly. After making sure that they were far away and didn't hear anything, the coldness in her eyes faded slightly.

"Sister is not like usual now. Even if mother has something in her heart, she has to hold it back."

The new lady also knew this, but she couldn't feel happy. She was jealous and her heart was aching. She pulled the handkerchief and regretted, "If I had known that there would be such a day, I would have asked her to marry the King of Liang."

It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Ji Xiating felt unhappy.

If her mother hadn't been so clever and married the fat pig of King Liang, Ji Xiawan would have become the Princess of Liang now.

Perhaps, the one who was canonized as the Queen of the Central Palace now was Ji Xiating, and there was no place for Ji Xiawan.

She hated her mother for insisting on changing this marriage, and she also hated Ji Xiawan for being so lucky to survive after being ill for so long, but she still looked kind on the surface.

"Mother, it's not a bad thing for my sister to become the queen."

Ji Xia Ting turned sideways and analyzed to the new wife, "My sister has been weak since she was a child, and now she is even worse. She has been taking medicine for so long but still hasn't gotten better. When she enters the palace as the queen, she will have to spend a lot of energy just to handle palace affairs, not to mention having to work hard to get the favor of His Majesty."

The new wife's eyes lit up, "Yes, this damn girl is not favored, so what if she is the queen."

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Ji Xia Ting's eyes flashed with impatience, but she is no longer the Princess of Liang, and she can only rely on her natal family. She had to suppress her temper and continued, "My sister's biological mother died early, and General Zhou's family is even more... But she has been dead for a long time, and she can only rely on us. When she is in poor health and has no one to help her, she will naturally ask her parents for help. "

"Then, I can enter the palace legitimately to assist my sister..."

After hearing this, the new lady was stunned, "Ting'er, you have been married."

"So what if you have been married? Throughout history, there have been married women who have entered the palace to serve. Mother, don't worry. With the relationship with my sister, Ting'er is sure to let His Majesty welcome me into the palace."

Ji Xia Ting smiled lightly, "Mother, go back first, I will go in to visit my sister."

She wanted to enter the palace, so she naturally had to make good friends with Ji Xia Wan in the early stage.

The new lady still felt that this matter was unreliable. She looked at her daughter and thought that the new king was a rough and wild man who could be hooked with a little seduction, but the new king had fought all the way to the top, so how could he be so easy to provoke.

But before she could say anything, Ji Xia Ting had already gone into the house by herself.

As soon as Ji Xia Ting entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. A maid inside saw her and came over to bow slightly, "Second Miss, the master has gone to bed."

"I'll take a look at my sister and leave."

After she finished speaking, she saw the nanny in front of her looking embarrassed, and she made a gesture to the maid next to her. The little maid immediately stepped forward, took out the silver from her bosom, and stuffed it into the nanny's hand without making a sound.

The nanny immediately smiled, "I'll take the second young lady into the house and take a look before leaving."

Ji Xia Ting nodded reservedly, a little disdainful.

Sure enough, it doesn't matter if she came from the palace, she still sees silver as if she has entered a money trap.

She was taken into the house, and was not allowed to get close to the bed. She just looked at it from a distance. She could only see Ji Xia Wan with her eyes closed, her face pale, and her whole body exuding a sense of weakness.

Ji Xia Ting's eyes were even more disdainful. This sickly girl would not lie on the bed like this when the emperor came.

She was more confident in her thoughts, smelling the smell of medicine in the house, and turned away with a smile on her face.

Looking at Ji Xiating's back, the nanny who had been guarding Ji Xiawan carefully covered the quilt, and watched her fall asleep, then she tiptoed out of the room.

The nanny outside threw the silver she had just received on the table, "I didn't expect that this small governor's mansion was quite rich."

"How could they be rich."

The nanny who came out sneered, "The governor was just a poor scholar at the beginning. If he hadn't married General Zhou's daughter and got her dowry, I don't know what this mansion would look like."

"When Miss Zhou got married, she had a red dress and walked around the capital three times. I was just a little maid at that time, but I also heard from the eunuchs who were out on business that the governor's mansion married Zhou's daughter, just like holding a golden baby back home. Everyone knows that General Zhou fought everywhere and saved a lot. , and there is only one daughter, and all the family assets are used as dowry. "

The maid who received the money thought of the dilapidated small courtyard she saw when she first came, and her eyes were cold, "It's okay to marry a new wife just after the death of the lady, but she took the dowry of the master's mother and treated the master so harshly. I must complain to the emperor."

"That's not necessary."

The maid drank a sip of water and said softly, "Since His Majesty can send the two of us to help the master, he must have known the filth in this mansion a long time ago. We just need to watch how His Majesty vents his anger for the master."

After she finished speaking, another maid immediately showed a look of enlightenment.

Indeed, no matter how much the two servants planned, they were still not as good as the emperor who was the most effective in the world.

"Okay, take this silver to the kitchen to buy food. Add a dish for the servants in the courtyard today, so that they can serve with full energy."

"Hey, I'll go and look after the master."

Although they are both a little old, they are both very enthusiastic when it comes to serving their masters.

Whether they can leave the palace and enjoy their old age in glory in the future depends on the master in the inner room.

In the lobby

Wei Mingyan took a sip of tea and looked at Ji Wu in front of him, who had a long beard but could vaguely see the handsome appearance of his youth.

"Wanwan looks a lot like Lord Ji."

When he said this, Ji Wu's hidden joy became even stronger, "Yes, Wanwan has been like me since she was a child, so I love her very much."

Hearing the last sentence, the new emperor smiled inexplicably, then put down the teacup gently, and said in a light voice, "I can see that Lord Ji must love Wanwan very much."

"I also heard General Zhao say that Wanwan's dowry was prepared since she was born, is this true?"

Ji Wu suddenly felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to lie to the new emperor in front of him, "Yes, my wife did carry the dowry early..."

But those dowries were taken away by the new wife after she entered the mansion.

"That's good. Wanwan's mother was good friends with Madam Zhao. She showed her the list. There are really several treasures that are not available in our country's treasury. It is said that they are all Madam Zhou's dowry, and they are all left to her beloved daughter."

The new king stood up and said, "I have already welcomed the Queen Mother and the eldest princess to the capital. When the time comes, I can appreciate them with them. What do you think, Lord Ji?"

Ji Wu's forehead has begun to sweat coldly, "Yes, yes..."

How could he know what was in the list? So many years have passed, and the things left by Madam Zhou have long been used by the new lady. The new king only said that there were a few of Madam Zhou's dowry, but he didn't say which ones.

Ji's father couldn't ask the new king for the list. In order to pass the test, he could only find out Madam Zhou's dowry and give all those treasures to Ji Xiawan as a dowry.

Whether it hurts or not is another matter. As for the list, after so many years, where can he find it?

"Okay, Master Ji, please be busy. I have to go back too."

Wei Mingyan seemed not to notice his sweaty face, and stood up and walked out.

"Your Majesty, I... respectfully bid you farewell..."

Ji Wu knelt on the cold ground, his whole body shivering with cold air. He raised his head and gritted his teeth as he looked at the servant next to him, "Where is the Madam?"

The new Madam has been in charge of the family for these years, so the dowry list can only be obtained from her.

***

At the same time, the news that Wei Mingyan had conquered the world and ascended the throne as the emperor spread throughout Miaocheng as people came to pick up Wei's mother Wei Qingniang.

This naturally included Weijia Village.

The author has something to say: Sorry everyone, I was so excited about writing again that I couldn't stop. I merged two chapters into one and there is no second update.
