The concubine is also very good today

Chapter 10 Hatred

"Why did the third son-in-law say such a thing?"

"Grandmother, you have seen more of the world than we do, so you know that the best marriage is a long-term marriage. Throughout the ages, how many loves at first sight can't stand the test of time? Newly married couples, if they don't have too much resentment, they all like each other In the beginning, everyone rushed to stay together, but this grievance gradually accumulated in the long river of time. You can't see anything in the new marriage, and maybe you can't see anything in a year or two. When you have children After three or five years, the contradictions will gradually surface. So your question, grandson-in-law can answer today, but grandson-in-law hopes to answer your question in a year or even three to five years later."

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at his solemn appearance and asked: "According to what you said, the Ai family will not be able to ask you within a year, right? If the Ai family doesn't ask, then how are you going to treat Zhaorong?"

"Emperor Grandmother, don't worry, the grandson-in-law will be loyal to Zhaorong within this year, so as to take care of her daily life."

Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "You are a sincere child. If you can't answer the question, you will avoid it. That's fine, it's better than going to the sea. You have never met Zhaorong. You have only been with Zhaorong for two days. It's hard to have such a deep relationship. It's your sincerity to take good care of her right now. The Ai family doesn't believe the vows that can be made overnight. If you talk sweetly, it will appear hypocritical. To tell you the truth, that's not bad, a solid-eyed kid."

When Jing Yu heard this, she felt a little palpitated, always feeling that she could capture every subtle movement of her in front of the queen mother, let alone openly playing tricks with the queen mother.

He didn't dare to lie a little bit, and immediately saluted: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your understanding!"

The Empress Dowager Jiang accepted his salute while sipping tea.

After taking a sip of strong tea, she suddenly asked: "By the way, have you brought the agarwood you mentioned just now?"

Jing Yu replied: "I brought it! I originally wanted to present it as a gift to the emperor's grandmother, but my grandson-in-law doesn't know the rules in the palace, so I don't know if it is appropriate to give a gift rashly, so I have to test it out..."

"Tell the imperial physician to come and test the fragrance."

Not long after, several imperial physicians came to examine the agarwood brought by Jing Yu.

Empress Dowager Jiang didn't ask any more questions, and sipped her tea in silence. Seeing her calm down, Jing Yu felt relieved.

Jing Yu thought to himself: Xu Ruyi, come back quickly!If the Queen Mother continues to ask, the young master will really be unable to hold on!
While waiting, Empress Dowager Jiang sized Jing Yu up a few times. Jing Yu didn't know what she was looking at, anyway, his agarwood was non-toxic and harmless, so his expression was extraordinarily calm.

After a while, several imperial physicians returned to the sleeping hall after inspecting the incense.

When Jing Yu saw the imperial physician coming back, he immediately became energetic and listened carefully to the imperial physician's reply in front of Empress Dowager Jiang.

"Back to Madam, these kinds of agarwood ingredients are all of the best quality, but Madam has not used them before. If you want to use them, take a small amount and give it a try."

With the approval of the imperial physician, a stone fell from Jing Yu's heart, as if someone was backing her up, she couldn't help but startled, and hurriedly added: "Grandmother, don't worry! The quality of the agarwood my grandson-in-law is After strict checks, it is guaranteed to let you use it with peace of mind!"

Empress Dowager Jiang replied, "Just burn incense in the hall!"

"okay!"

After getting the queen mother's permission, Jing Yu quickly lit the incense.If you ask him emotional questions, it is purely to make things difficult for him, but if you study these things, he immediately relaxes a lot.

After a while, Jing Yu lit the agarwood.

While he was burning incense, Mrs. Jiang came to the window, looked up at the sunshine outside, and said with emotion: "It's really getting warmer these days."

Jing Yu then said: "It's really a coincidence, Grandmother, Zhaorong also likes to bask in the sun recently!"

Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "This old bone of the Ai family, more exposure to the sun will help to unblock the veins and adjust Yang Qi. Zhaorong is afraid of the cold, you should treat her more on weekdays."

"Okay! Grandmother, don't worry, grandson-in-law promises to take good care of Zhaorong!"

Jing Yu is still very clear about this truth.

However, there was one thing that made Jing Yu feel weird—didn't the Queen Mother ask him to burn incense?Now that the incense is burning, why did she run to the door to bask in the sun?
She said that basking in the sun is for the health of the phoenix, so Jing Yu couldn't call her back rashly, so he had to follow her instructions to burn incense in the hall. Queen Mother Jiang didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak rashly.

No one spoke in the hall, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

There is only one question in Jing Yu's mind now - what did Xu Ruyi do?Why don't you come back?

At the same time, Xu Ruyi's side.

After seeing Empress Dowager Jiang getting angry, Xu Ruyi had no choice but to leave Jing Yu and go to Wenyuan Pavilion. If she said she was not worried about Jing Yu, it would be a lie, but this is the daily life in the deep palace, and it is very tiring.

Not long after, Xu Ruyi brought Aunt Chang and Su Deyi to Wenyuan Pavilion, and told them which literati's calligraphy and painting the aunt usually likes, and what are the versions and differences of these calligraphy and painting.

Su Deyi kept nodding her head, and Aunt Chang also took a piece of paper and recorded it.

There are three floors in this Wenyuan Pavilion. On weekdays, not only people from the Empress Dowager come here, but also people from officials and concubines. Da Zhou originally worshiped literature, so there are often court ladies and eunuchs coming in and out of Wenyuan Pavilion.

After Xu Ruyi brought Aunt Chang and Su Deyi to the places on the second and third floors where the Queen Mother's frequently used books were placed, she took them to the first floor. Compared with the quieter second and third floors, the first floor There is more hustle and bustle.

Xu Shi was disturbed by the noisy voices on the first floor, and the uneasiness in Xu Ruyi's heart became more intense. She wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible.

She had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she didn't know if this feeling was because she was worried about Jing Yu's situation, or...

"Sister Zhaorong!"

Suddenly, a soft call brought her thoughts back to reality.

The voice was so familiar that Xu Ruyi was startled in vain after hearing that voice.

Then she looked around, and she saw a man standing in front of her.

"Young Master Lin?"

This person really is Lin Chengqing!

After Lin Chengqing saw Xu Ruyi, he quickly walked towards her.

But the last person Xu Ruyi wants to see now is him.

She still remembered that after the empress dowager was murdered in the previous life, she bowed down and surrendered, hoping that her husband would give her a way out of her old love, but he cruelly burned her alive on the tower for three days and three nights, using her Order to show loyalty to the officials who regained real power.

Xu Ruyi is not a sentimental person, she knows the cruelty of the court struggle, the moment the Queen Mother fell, she also completely lost her power and let others slaughter her.

But now that she is back, she must settle this account.

She just didn't expect that Lin Chengqing could still appear in front of her!
Then she asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to Xiangzhou?"

With a trace of melancholy in Lin Chengqing's eyes, he replied: "Yes, the mastermind of the fraud case in the exam has fled back to his hometown in Xiangzhou. The court originally planned to go to Xiangzhou to arrest people, but found that there were more than one fraud incidents in Xiangzhou. Uncle just ordered me, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to review the test papers of last year's provincial examination. I thought this trip would take three to five months, but after only one month, I heard the news of your marriage. I hurried back immediately Hurry up, but it's still a step late, and I can't catch up with your wedding banquet."

Xu Ruyi sneered: "Although you failed to catch up with the wedding banquet, the servants of your Imperial Academy did. Not only did they attend the wedding banquet for you, but they also uttered nonsense at the wedding banquet. The scene at that time was really spectacular. It was a pity to see it with my own eyes."
