After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 59
At three quarters of the ugly hour, it was pitch black outside the window.

The man on the ground slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." The white jade-like skin was dyed reddish, and the slender fingers protruding from the bed pressed gently on the chest.

After a while, the coughing stopped.

Wang Zhiyang sat up and leaned against the edge of the bed alone, his dark eyes blended with the night, and his body was full of loneliness.

His fingers couldn't help touching the sword on the side of the bed, and there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. If his body hadn't been so broken, Ah Zhi wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury in Jizhou, and almost lost his life.

After sitting until Yinshi, he rubbed the neat clothes on the side and put them on, wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, rested for a while, and then went out of the room.

"General." Wang Zhiyang called to stop General Wei who was about to go to court.

Old General Wei turned his head, saw that he was wearing thin clothes, and frowned, "What are you doing up so early? Go back and rest."

Wang Zhiyang slightly clenched his lips, "It's okay. Counting the days, Ah Zhi should be back in two months. General, I have something to tell you..."

"What's the matter, wait until I come back from the court." Old General Wei was a nervous person, before Wang Zhiyang could finish speaking, he turned and left the door.

Wang Zhiyang shook his head with a helpless smile, but his eyes quickly became dim.

Wei Xingzhi served as the imperial envoy and went to Jizhou for disaster relief for one and a half months. The disaster situation in Jizhou calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye. He repelled Mengdan and rebuilt Jizhou, and found King Kang.

Every incident reported back to the capital and falling on the court hall was like a huge boulder falling into the lake, causing a splash of water, making all the officials jealous of Wei Xingzhi's achievements while lamenting that it was fortunate that he did not go.

No one can guarantee that under such circumstances, they can defend against the enemy as well as Wei Xingzhi. It is one thing for them to survive.

Therefore, when Wan Qiqian rewarded the Wei family time and time again according to his merits, no one dared to say no. The old general Wei always stood up with his chest up, high-spirited, as if he was several years younger. The officials said that it was his granddaughter who made the meritorious service this time.

Back home, Wang Zhiyang was already sitting in the Qingci Hall talking with the old lady, and the expressions of both of them were not quite right.

The smile on Old General Wei's face faded, he stretched his neck and looked twice, "What's wrong?"

After passing the palace examination, Ma Huai was already the fifth-rank Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, and he also frowned and looked surprised when he came in with General Wei.

It stands to reason that the news of Azhi's stay in Jizhou came back, everyone is fine, and Jizhou is getting better, shouldn't he be happy.

"Come in." The old lady glanced at him.

Old General Wei sat on the side of the main seat.

"Ah Yang told me something today, after I heard it, I think it makes sense." The old lady looked serious.

Ma Huai asked, "Ah Zhi?"

The old lady hummed, "That's right, it's Ah Zhi's marriage."

Old General Wei trembled all over, "If you say that the second boy of the Qin family is allowed to marry into our house, I totally disagree. "

Although his granddaughter is not very good, but when he glanced at the second boy of the Qin family from a distance, he was walking or sitting.

The old lady frowned, "Why, the Qin family is a famous family..."

"Hey, it can't be done." Old General Wei interrupted the old lady, "It's just this single seedling, don't be in a hurry."

Take a good look at each other.

The old lady glanced at Wang Zhiyang and said, "You are not in a hurry, someone should be in a hurry."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Zhiyang raised his eyes and said in a warm voice, "General, why does the emperor favor Ah Zhi so much?"

"Of course it's because Ah Zhi is capable." Old General Wei said.

One of the Wei family rewarded one and the other was sent over because of Wei Xingzhi's credit. Wei Xingzhi was doing things for the emperor outside, so the emperor naturally had to put on a show of praise.

Wang Zhiyang shook his head slightly, "If he really only regards Ah Zhi as a courtier, then why does he let the ring of the harem be fat and thin, the once childhood sweetheart, and now the queen guards the harem alone?"

The expressions of Old General Wei and Ma Huai changed drastically.

Wang Zhiyang narrowed his eyes slightly, the emperor has never shy away from this matter.

The old lady let out a deep breath, "What Ah Yang said is not unreasonable, if the current emperor really has some thoughts about Ah Zhi, he will be brought into the palace as a concubine..."

"That can't be done." Old General Wei clapped his hands, "Our family doesn't do this business of selling girls."

Throughout the ages, how many courtiers have sent their daughters to the palace for their own honor, and they have become dead bones under the red walls and green tiles.

"Boy Yang, are you thinking wrongly? The appearance of our tomboy, A Zhi, is not at all dignified as a concubine." Old General Wei frowned.

Wang Zhiyang nodded slightly, but he hoped that he was wrong.

But the imperial edicts for the reward came one after another, and he was afraid that the next one would be the edict to make her a concubine.

"Old madam, general, just in case, make a decision on Ah Zhi's marriage as soon as possible."

The old lady was silent for a moment, and blurted out when her lips parted slightly, "Then you..."

Wang Zhiyang smiled warmly, "I would like to send her to marry as my elder brother."

As an elder brother, he can only stay by her side with this status in his life.

When he said this, a look of helplessness flashed across the old lady's face, "Well, you're right, you can't enter the palace with Ah Zhi's temperament."

……

The moon is the roundest on the fifteenth day, and the Palace of Compassion and Ning sent someone to report, asking Wan Qiqian to accompany the queen mother for dinner.

Thinking of the time before, when the queen mother kept trying to match him and Cheng Wansu, Wan Tuqian felt a headache.

"Li Duobao, send someone to the Wei Mansion to bring you back, and call Concubine Xu Xian over."

Since it's a reunion dinner, what's the matter if there are fewer people.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Cheng Wansu was talking with the Queen Mother, and laughter occasionally jumped out of his words, it can be seen that with the Queen's company, the Queen Mother's mood has improved a lot.

"Empress Dowager, Empress, Concubine Xu Xian is here..." Fang Ruo reported.

The Empress Dowager frowned, now she was wearing a lake blue cross-collar palace robe, and she put on makeup again, shed her morbidity, she was quite majestic.

"Why is she here?"

Fangruo paused, "Concubine Xu Xian said that the emperor asked her to come and have a reunion dinner together."

Cheng Wansu's eyes darkened, and then she raised her eyes and smiled, "Mother, let her in, the Prince Rui County's mansion values ​​this cousin girl, so it's not good to refute her face and embarrass the emperor."

Hearing this, the queen mother patted Cheng Wansu's hand, "You are right, let her in."

Wearing an old green robe, Xu Xiangye walked in curvaceously, saluted the queen mother and queen with a smile, and there was a little smugness in his eyes.

"The concubine sees the empress dowager, empress empress."

The Queen Mother hummed in a neutral tone, "Get up."

As soon as the words fell, Wan Chengyou, who had stayed in the Wei Mansion for two months, ran over with small steps, and called out to the Queen Mother crisply, "Mother Queen."
