Chapter 531 Sister-in-law, open the door, I am my brother 22
Jiuli's face turned red visibly. She reached out and pushed Yin Zhen, then stood up and put the jade hairpin in her dressing box.
"What did you say? How would I know which reward it is?" He glanced at her innocently, but there seemed to be a lot of charm in his eyebrows, which made Yin Zhen, who was sitting there, full of amazement.
"How could you not know? Didn't you like the flower arrangement yesterday?" With a slight smile on his lips, he pulled Jiuli up.
"Nonsense," Jiuli rolled her eyes.
"Sister-in-law should know better whether it is nonsense or not," Yin Zhen chuckled, with obvious mischief flashing in his eyes.
As the bed curtains were drawn, the moon was hidden behind dark clouds. When the clouds cleared and the sun rose, Yin Zhen left before dawn.
For three days in a row, on the surface, the relationship between Prince Jing and Prince Ming became closer and closer, and they even slept with their feet touching each other several times. They had the momentum to form their own faction, but they all followed behind the Crown Prince.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was Concubine Heng's birthday. His Majesty gave a banquet, and his children were at his side.
It was just a small family dinner held in Zhuohua Palace.
However, something big happened at the birthday party.
"Xiao Liu is not young anymore, do you have any favorites?" Emperor Zhengtong put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and looked at Yin Zhen, "When I was his age, I already had a child."
He turned to look at Concubine Heng, his tone was smiling, but his determination not to allow any objection. Whether the marriage was successful or not would not affect his decision to grant the marriage.
"Which girl has your majesty taken a fancy to? Do you want to appoint Xiaoliu as your princess? If she is not good enough, I will not agree." Concubine Heng looked at Xiaoliu with a very intimidating look, which clearly said that she was not allowed to move. "Your majesty must find a suitable one."
"You don't have any that you like?" There was a flash of doubt in Emperor Zhengtong's eyes. Others all wanted a good one early on.
"Your Majesty will certainly not treat Xiaoliu badly, right?" Concubine Heng's eyes were full of amorous feelings. "Of course, the one your Majesty likes must be good. If she is like Princess Jing, I will be even more satisfied."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhengtong glanced in the direction of Prince Jing and Jiuli, a smile flashed in his eyes. These two people are quite a match.
"Of course I have a good vision, and you should help me take a look. You can't always be lazy and let me make the decision on everything," Emperor Zhengtong said, tapping Concubine Heng's forehead with his fingertips.
"I believe in Your Majesty," Concubine Heng's eyes were full of dependence when Emperor Zhengtong looked at her, but a hint of disgust flashed across her face when he couldn't see her.
"Then I have to go back and take a good look, and try my best to pick a daughter-in-law who satisfies me in every way." Emperor Zhengtong chuckled, like a father who couldn't be more ordinary.
"Father!" Yin Zhen lowered his head, trying to stay calm. He didn't want to get married, and his voice was slightly raised.
"Look, Xiaoliu is so happy that he's silly?" Concubine Heng hurriedly tried to smooth things over and pinched Yin Zhen's arm hard.
If this child really tried to win the emperor's face on the spot, he would lose his favor at the least, but he would lose his life at the most.
"Really?" Emperor Zhengtong narrowed his eyes and just looked at Yin Zhen, with the imperial pressure all around him.
"Of course it's true. Xiaoliu is so young and excited that he doesn't know what to say, don't you think?" Concubine Heng said with a smile.
I just felt that the palace dress on my back was soaked with sweat.
"What your mother said is true. I am overjoyed. Your Majesty, I want someone as beautiful as my sister-in-law," Yin Zhen put on a sincere (perfunctory) smile and glanced at Jiuli.
Jiuli lowered her eyes, her demeanor was dignified and graceful, and no emotion could be seen on her. But inexplicably, Yin Zhen felt that she was sad. He often felt that he owed her, especially now.
"What did you say, kid?" Concubine Heng slapped Yin Zhen in anger, "Your Majesty, you know Xiaoliu's personality. He has always liked good colors since he was a child."
"Well," Emperor Zhengtong looked away, but he was thinking about other things, "I have something else to do in the morning. I will go first and come to have dinner with you in the evening."
As he stood up and left, three synchronized voices rang out behind him, respectfully bidding farewell to His Majesty. As Emperor Zhengtong disappeared in front of the Zhuohua Palace, Concubine Heng finally let go of her worries.
"Xiao Si, it's time for you and Jiuli to go back home," Concubine Heng was the first to see the guests off, thinking in her mind how to beat the child.
"Your son, I'm taking my leave." King Jing glanced at his brother with a little worry, and decided that it would be better for him not to offend his mother.
He also has other plans. Xiaoliu's princess consort and concubine can both be used to win over forces, but I don't know which one is more profitable. Otherwise, he can also wait for the general election in two years.
After leaving the palace and sitting in the carriage on the way back to the palace, King Jing was distracted by the beautiful princess sitting next to him. It could be said that she was the most beautiful person in the backyard.
His eyes turned cold for a moment. He didn't think that what Old Six said just now meant that he wanted a princess like this.
"Princess, I don't want you to do anything that is not in line with your status," King Jing looked at the beauty in front of him, "but don't worry, I will let you enjoy the honor you deserve."
As for pampering, he still prefers Shu Yue, who is innocent, simple, soft, kind, and pitiful and relies on him everywhere.
"I am the Princess of Jing, so naturally I will not do anything that would damage my reputation." Jiuli lowered her eyes, seemingly saying something but not saying it.
"I hope you can keep your promise," King Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the sachet in his hand, "Shu Yue is pregnant, I hope you won't make things difficult for her,"
"And Shu Yue is very innocent, so please bear with her."
King Jing continued to speak, but his voice was very low, for fear of being heard by outsiders. After all, he was favoring his concubine over his wife.
"Your Highness, you can arrange more manpower," Jiuli raised the corners of her lips with a mocking look, but her face was full of smiles.
How could there be such a fool in the royal family? No matter how I look at it, I feel that King Jing is not particularly smart.
"You don't want to?" King Jing looked up at Jiuli in front of him, "You are my princess, and it is your responsibility to clean the inner house. Don't be angry. I will go to you tonight."
"?" Jiuli rolled her eyes. This guy must be sick, and it's a serious problem. He is very narcissistic.
King Jing consciously made a concession and smiled as if everything was under control. The harmony between his wives and concubines was all thanks to her.
“By the way, Maid Shu has mentioned to me that Concubine Zhu should take care of her health,” King Jing supported his forehead with one hand.
"Oh?" Jiuli's eyes were filled with shock. No, are you okay? Concubine Zhu was thinking about how to have an abortion. You are simply giving her a pillow when she is sleepy. This is great news.
"I have already agreed," King Jing raised his eyes, "some time ago, I presented a box of velvet flowers of the Twelve Flower Gods to you as a gift. I will ask Su Hua to give it to you when I get back," and ask for your pulse.
It would also be good to see if there was any problem with her body. After all, he still hoped to have a legitimate son. He looked at Jiuli expectantly.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness," Jiuli did not refuse. It was not her thing, so she just wanted to take a look at it.
