royal girl

Chapter 165
The sapphire blue trousers with brocade patterns all over the place, a dark horse-face skirt, her hair in a Yaotai bun, and five-tailed phoenix hairpins with pearls hanging on her hairpin. Huiyu usually doesn't like to wear dark clothes like this, and always yells It's too old-fashioned, and it makes people seven or eight years older just by saying nothing.Looking at the heavy phoenix hairpin, Ji Qiyu was also silent for a while, Huiyu prefers some delicate and elegant jewelry, such as phoenix hairpin, which is full of gorgeous and dazzling things, is only worn when entering the palace, but today she is in this outfit Looking at the steady clothes and expensive jewelry, and thinking of Huiyu's slightly stern expression when he got off the carriage...

Ji Qiyu has always known that Huiyu is a very stubborn person, and she usually looks easy to talk to, but what she believes is that even ten horses can't pull her back.For example, her prejudice against him, in fact, he also knows that Huiyu is far from liking or loving him, because there are too many entanglements between the two, and Huiyu should be more defensive towards him.

But after such a night when he didn't return, he watched Huiyu come back from the outside wearing the clothes he didn't like the most, and the jewelry he didn't like the most.He knew that she must have gone to do something, in order not to be looked down upon by others, that's why she dressed herself up like this to enhance her appearance.

No one has ever worked so hard to do this kind of thing for him.Even though he knew that Huiyu didn't love him, he wanted to cherish this kindness.

"If you worry about others, I will be angry."

Seeing Ji Qiyu's serious tone, Huiyu was silent for a while.

Seeing Huiyu's embarrassing look, Ji Qiyu's depressed mood all night slowly dissipated, and she ate her meal bite by bite, with an elegant posture, as usual.

Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's expression for a long time, and found that he was indeed normal, and then moved away the big stone that was pressing on her heart.

When Ji Qiyu finished his meal, the two returned to the Shaojian from the flower hall.Originally, Ji Qiyu had asked his staff to wait in the study room, but he didn't want to leave at this time, so he took Huiyu to sit down, held her hand and played with her gently, and then said: "Something happened to Fujian Shipping. It has something to do with it, you know that I used to be in charge of the salt affairs, although now it's in the hands of Lao Qi, but I can't watch Lao Qi being bullied, so I can't stand idly by."

Sure enough, it was this matter, and I guessed right, Huiyu felt a little better again.But listening to Ji Qiyu's meaning, it seems that this matter was not aimed at him in the first place, but directly on King Jia's head, using King Jia to drag Ji Qiyu into the water, these bastards are really special What's not human.He knew that Ji Qiyu had a good relationship with King Jia, so he used this method to tie Ji Qiyu to death.

"I'll be busy these days. I'm afraid I'll go to Fujian if possible. I'm relieved to leave the family affairs to you."

Why?Why did Ji Qiyu have to jump when others dug a hole, and had to leave Kyoto to clean up the mess in Fujian? I really think people are easy to bully, right?
"You want to go to Fujian to clean up the mess? You know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and it's clearly a trap set by others, so you want to go?" Huiyu's tone was not very good, she was angry.

"If I don't go, Lao Qi has to go. As for Lao Qi's temper, he has to be eaten alive. He can't fight those old officials. I can't let him take this risk. It's also related to his future. future." Ji Qiyu didn't expect Huiyu's reaction to be so strong, so she explained patiently, feeling a little irritable in her heart, and he also felt aggrieved, but what can he do?On the one hand, King Ning Xinguo's government frequently resorted to tricks, and on the other hand, Lao Qi was cheated with tears all over his face, so he couldn't just ignore it.

"Tell me, do you want to go." Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu and asked word by word.

Seeing Huiyu's solemn expression, the anger in her eyes was overflowing, so Ji Qiyu covered her eyes with her hand, "Why are you even more angry than me, this matter is not what you think It's so dangerous, you have to trust me."

"I believe you, but I can't trust Duke Xin and King Ning." Hui Yu reached out and grabbed Ji Qiyu's hand, and suddenly smiled, "Just tell me if you want to go or not, don't do anything else now." ask."

Ji Qiyu knew that virtuous and virtuous people were just floating clouds, and now this domineering and very strong Dong Huiyu was the one he knew.Sighing, looking at her, "Of course I don't want to go, I'm just newly married."

Pooh!Who told you to say this!Huiyu blushed unavoidably, but her mood did feel a little better. If Ji Qiyu thought that her brother was more important than her wife, she would not care about it and let him go to Fujian for a walk.Fortunately, this guy still has a conscience. He smiled, and his pink nails have only been dyed for a few days. "Since you don't want to go, then don't go."

Ji Qiyu: ...

Is it really good to marry such a domineering and mighty wife?Suddenly remembering the aggrieved look of Master Dong Er, I suddenly understood a little bit.

"Do you have an idea?" Ji Qiyu didn't expect that Huiyu would be able to think of a way because he knew this. In fact, he didn't have to go to Fujian, it was just a last resort.In fact, he also thought of a way, but he was afraid that it would take a long time to implement it, and that King Jia would not be able to withstand it.But Huiyu is as cunning as a fox, she was able to break the game between King Ning and Master Wen back then, and she was so ruthless that she killed people without batting an eyelid.

"We women don't have as many ways and strengths as you men, but we always have our own uses."

Listening to Huiyu's long-lost sarcasm, Ji Qiyu actually felt a little kind, and hesitated.

"Tell me about it." Ji Qiyu also became interested now, looking at Huiyu and said.

"I don't know what you're going to do. I know you have many ideas and great abilities. But your layout is too big and it will take a long time. I'm afraid King Jia won't be able to withstand the pressure here."

Ji Qiyu raised her eyebrows, Huiyu guessed her worry correctly.

Looking at Ji Qiyu's expression, Huiyu knew that she had guessed right. She smiled, looked at him and continued, "I'm a small-minded person who will get revenge, so I can't wait so long to make arrangements. Since the matter was brought up by Peng Liang Yes, I have to let him suffer some grievances."

Ji Qi Yumo, sure enough, she must take revenge.Looking up at Huiyu, he thought about what she was going to do.But Ji Qiyu couldn't figure out Huiyu's solution after much deliberation, so she could only ask, "What do you want?"

"I use the method between women, of course."

Ji Qiyu didn't understand what this matter had to do with women.

"I got a secret message that Princess Ning is pregnant."

Ji Qiyu was stunned at first, but then she figured it out, looked at Huiyu with her eyes and knew what she was going to do, and sighed a long time, this is really cruel.

Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's complicated expression, but he didn't expect that he would know what he was going to do just by raising his head, which was too clever.Men are too smart, and being a woman indicates a lot of stress.If the muzzle of the gun is outside, the world is peaceful, but if the muzzle of the gun is inside, blood will flow into rivers, so depressing.

"Then what about your sister? Dong Wan is married to Ji Fuyan as a side concubine, since she wants to start from here, it's hard to guarantee that Dong Wan's side will not be affected by Chi Yu.

"I have already persuaded her to take the child to live in Zhuangzi for a while, it depends on whether she is willing or not. If she is not willing, there is nothing I can do. Even though we are sisters, we can't let Prince Jing's mansion go for her alone. In distress." Huiyu is not indifferent, but she has already persuaded Dong Wan, and she really has no way to decide what Dong Wan chooses.Dong Wan's life exists because of Ji Fuyan, while she lives by relying on Ji Qiyu, the two are opposites, and there is nothing they can do.

"Aren't you afraid that Duke Ding will be angry with you and have no family to rely on in the future?" Even a wife may not be able to do this for her husband. Offending her family means cutting off her own future.

"If you treat me well, my natal family and I are just a decoration. As a husband and wife, I have to think more about you, and there is nothing I can do if I offend my natal family." Huiyu sighed deliberately, facing With sadness.Actually no, Ding Guogong is an old fox, Brother Dong is a young fox, both of them are people headed by the family, as long as Ji Qiyu's power is still there, they dare not do anything to her.Similarly, as long as Ji Qiyu has always trusted her, even if there is no affection between the two, as long as her princess position is secure, even if she has done something that is not good for her natal family, then Ding Guogong and Dong Dong The elder brother also won't do anything to her. In fact, some things are that simple.

Just like Dong Wan, why is she still in a passive position even though she has a son? Isn’t it because King Ning’s feelings for Xia Bingyu are still true? Still sitting firmly, why so stable?Firstly, there is the support of Xin Guogong, and secondly, the most important thing is King Ning's feelings for Xia Bingyu.Dong Wan didn't dare to act rashly if she was not sure that she could knock Xia Bingyu down at once. Without the support of King Ning's feelings, as long as she failed once, she would never recover.

So Dong Wan has to endure, does she want to endure?If she had Prince Ning's love on her, would she be so aggrieved?In terms of background, Xia Bingyu is a little bit worse than Dong Wan, but in terms of feelings, how can Dong Wan compare to her childhood sweetheart?

In fact, Huiyu admires Dong Wan. Under such circumstances, she can manage every step of the way, can bear it, can bend down, and can quietly wait for an opportunity that may come in a year, maybe ten years, maybe 20 years.If this matter were placed on Huiyu, Huiyu felt that she might not have Dong Wan's mentality and be able to wait year after year.

At this time, Ji Qiyu listened to Hui Yu's words and was a little distracted. Looking at Hui Yu's faint smile, for some reason, he read some sadness.The happiness of a woman's life depends on the man. Don't talk about others, just say that Princess Jin has no one to support her?However, even he felt that Prince Jin was going too far that day, but there was no other way. Prince Chen had no need to rely on Princess Jin's natal family, so he did not shy away from doing things.

People only bow to others when they want something.King Chun didn't want anything from Princess Jin's natal family, so naturally he didn't have to bend down.

He understands this kind of truth, and he knows that Huiyu understands it too.

Neither of them spoke anymore, time passed slowly in the room, the two sat facing each other, Huiyu ordered the girl to bring a tea set, boil water and cook tea, surrounded by a faint fragrance.Before getting married, Ji Qiyu made people drink tea by himself, and after getting married, Huiyu did it quite seldom.At this time, she was leaning on the soft pillow with her hands hugging her knees, which was very different from the usual sitting with her back straight like a mountain.

Ji Qiyu is a person who really wants to be polite. At this time, Huiyu looked at Huiyu for several times, but Huiyu pretended not to see it, so she couldn't help but said: "Your sitting posture is really indecent. , is an obstacle to viewing."

Huiyu smiled mischievously, "There are no outsiders here. If you have to keep your back straight all the time, you will be very tired."

"..." Ji Qiyu, who was so speechless, glanced at Huiyu with disapproval in his eyes, but for the sake of saying that there are no outsiders, let's just pretend not to see it, there is really no way.

"How about you try the new tea from the south?"

Huiyu glanced at Ji Qiyu in surprise, but she was also a little curious, for someone like Ji Qiyu who didn't have the protection of her mother's family, but he never treated herself badly when it came to food, drink, clothing, and use. From this, it can be seen that Ji Qiyu Yu is still a capable person, but Huiyu is also curious about the circumstances under which Ji Qiyu can plan so much for herself.It's only May now, and you can drink this year's new tea, and Dingguo's mansion only sent him some new tea in these days.

Huiyu suppressed the surprise in her heart, and took a sip, "Authentic Longjing, the taste is sweet, and the color of the tea soup is indeed this year's new tea."

"If you like it, I'll send you some later."

"Okay." Don't take it for nothing, don't refuse what a man offers, or the rejection will become a habit, and he won't think about you even if he has something in the future.

Ji Qiyu just laughed, he just likes such a straightforward person who makes it clear what he wants and what he doesn't want, so he doesn't have to bother to guess, he really hates guessing people's minds.

Perhaps this tone was too soothing, and Ji Qiyu spoke again, "Since you want to attack Ning Wang's side concubine, you have already given orders when you go out today."

Huiyu is not surprised that Ji Qiyu can guess it. After all, this person still knows a little about herself, so she nodded, "Well, there will be news in the next two days. So what is the prince going to do?" According to Ji Qiyu's previous plan, I'm afraid it's going to collide with me, so the two really have to agree on this matter. If my family beats my family, wouldn't it be a joke.

"Madam is so powerful, I just wait for the good news for my husband."

Huiyu: ...

How shameless!
"What about King Jia?" Huiyu was more curious about this. Isn't he a good brother?At this time, I should talk to King Jia, but if I talk too much to King Jia, I will have to confess her. Huiyu doesn't want to make herself a dreadful person.Doesn't the reputation of a woman's toughness sound good?

"It's time for Lao Qi to take this opportunity to learn something, and I can still take care of him for the rest of his life?" Ji Qiyu said.

Huiyu fell silent.

"What is Madam planning to do?"

"Didn't the prince just say to wait for the good news?" If you don't tell him, you will suffocate him!

Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu's slightly drooping cheeks. It was the first time in his life that Huiyu was able to eat soft food when he grew so big.

"Okay, then just wait for the good news for your husband."

"Fourth brother, you really don't care about me? How can you be so cruel, what do you do if you don't care about me?" Wang Jia pulled Ji Qiyu's sleeve to play pitiful, but it wasn't really pitiful, he was real It's a little pathetic.He really has no interest in government affairs. Being named by his father to take over the salt affairs is already one of the first two. Now that the fourth brother is standing by and watching, do he still want to live?

Ji Qiyu looked at King Jia with a stern face, and said in a serious manner: "You are so old, you should learn to stand up by yourself in the future. Is it possible that I can help you for the rest of your life? It's good if you have this opportunity, you can do it yourself. Think carefully about how to handle this matter well. I was implicated by you this time, and if I make suggestions for you, you will also know my situation. "

"I'm sorry, fourth brother. It's all my fault. I really didn't mean to implicate you. I've been confused about this matter. I don't know why." Jia Wang almost burst into tears, he really didn't I know.

Ji Qiyu really hated iron for being weak, so she glanced at him and said, "Before my people hadn't withdrawn, we lived in peace, but something happened as soon as they left. Either you were stared at by others for a long time, or It's because you have a mole around you, you should check it out carefully. I can only help you so much, and you have to rely on yourself for a lot of things." Since Ji Qiyu let Huiyu do it, she took this opportunity to practice. Jia Wang is also a matter of convenience, if he is not allowed to grow his memory, it is possible that he will have such good luck in the future.

Seeing that his dear fourth brother made up his mind not to help anymore, he left Prince Jing's mansion with a sullen face.

"really?"

"It's true what the returning Lord said. When King Jia left Prince Jing's mansion, he looked very bad. It seems that Prince Jing doesn't plan to help this time." The staff said with a smile.

"King Jia was raised in front of the Empress. If it wasn't for this Prince Jing, he wouldn't have been protecting her forever. Now the salt affairs have been in the hands of King Jing without any mistakes, but they caused trouble when they were in the hands of King Jia, and because of this, they were taken care of by the emperor. A reprimand, no matter how good-tempered King Jing is, it's hard to guarantee that he won't get angry. What's more, Prince Jing has a bad temper, so it's expected that King Jia didn't get King Jing's help this time." The second staff member analyzed .

The Xinguo Mansion smiled proudly, it was precisely because of this that they took action against King Jia.Over the years, Prince Jing has cleaned up many messes for King Jia. I am afraid that Prince Jing will be annoyed long ago. Now they specially set up this situation to give them a chance to turn their backs.Without King Jing's protection, King Jia is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. Without King Jia's support, King Jing is going further and further away from the empress. They worked so hard to set up this situation, and now they finally have an extra harvest.

Duke Xin was in a good mood, Prince Jing went to the second daughter of the Dong family, not only had a relationship with Dingguo's mansion, but also had a relationship with Bei'anhou's mansion, it really made people feel uneasy.It's fine if it's someone else, but it's Xing Yulang, he knows how difficult Xing Yulang is, how many times he has shown his favor to Xing Yulang over the years, it's a pity that this old guy pretends not to understand, and he will piss him off .

"This goal has been achieved, and you all know how to do the next thing." Ding Guogong looked at his staff and smiled complacently, "This time not only to get back the lost initiative in salt affairs, the important It is necessary to take down the shipping business.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Peng, Mr. Peng has received a letter. I'm afraid there will be good news soon."

Lord Xinguo nodded, "Although the situation is great, we can't take it lightly. Prince Jing has no real power in his hands, and is rejected by the emperor. Now he is just running errands to watch the building of a house. You should pay more attention to the movements of King Su, Concubine Liang is not a friendly person."

Concubine Ning has always been barren, and Duke Xin is also worried. After all, having no children is like a knife hanging around the neck.Even if he and Ning Wang are uncles and nephews, but the royal family has no father and son, let alone such a relationship.The daughter is pregnant, and the big stone that Xin Guogong has been weighing on his heart for the past few years has finally come to the ground.After getting rid of Prince Jing, the salt business has slowly been on the right track. As long as the shipping business can be held in hand, the future road will only go higher and higher.

The more Duke Xin thought about it, the more proud he became. Can Duke Ding still be proud this time?He really thought that everything would be all right for his daughter to give birth to King Ning's eldest son, which is really beautiful.

Xin Guogong's side was triumphant, and Huiyu's side also got news from Kan Zhiyi.

"The speed is quite fast." Huiyu was very satisfied with Kan Zhiyi's ability to act, as expected, as expected, the person who was able to build a powerful intelligence network for Ji Qiyu in just a few years in the original text was indeed a thousand-mile horse.It's a pity that Bole has changed now. If Ji Fuyan knew that he had cut off his beard, he might have the heart to strangle him to death.

But Huiyu just didn't want to be a cannon fodder, so the two were destined to be natural enemies.

"Have you received a letter from Kan Zhiyi? It's fast enough." Ji Qiyu came back from practicing his punches, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and said while looking at the letter in Huiyu's hand.

Huiyu nodded, "Kan Zhiyi is a capable person. You should know that since you have dealt with him."

"Indeed." Ji Qiyu went into the inner room to change clothes and wash, and when she came out quickly, she saw Huiyu writing a letter at her desk, and walked over, "What are you writing?"

"Plan to deceive people." Hui Yu covered the letter to prevent Ji Qiyu from reading it, "Didn't the lord want to wait for the good news?"

Ji Qiyu raised eyebrows, a little liar who loves to hold grudges.

He still wanted to be a gentleman, so he sat down opposite Huiyu and really didn't go over to look.Huiyu wrote for a full cup of tea before stopping the pen, picked up the paper to dry the ink, folded the paper and put it in the envelope, sealed the letter, in exchange for Mother Zhong to deliver the letter, and then gently breath of relief.Huiyu was very satisfied with Ji Qiyu's style of a gentleman, and when he was in a good mood, he took the initiative to say: "I can watch a good show tomorrow."

"Really?"

"of course."

"Okay, ma'am, you've worked hard, can I give you a back massage for my husband?"

Huiyu: ...

Kan Zhiyi received Huiyu's letter, and after reading it, he said to Shopkeeper Sun, "You can do it now."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded, with a dignified look on his face, and said with a sigh: "This time, you really took out all your old background, and you don't know how to leave yourself a way out."

Kan Zhiyi knew that shopkeeper Sun was doing it for his own good, so he shook his head and said, "Old Sun, one must repay kindness in life. The kindness of a drop of water will never be forgotten until death. This is actually nothing."

Shopkeeper Sun knew Kan Zhiyi's temper and didn't try to persuade him any more, so he turned around and left.When he came in again, he said to Kan Zhiyi: "I have already ordered you to go down, tonight, and tomorrow I will go to Shuntian Mansion to beat the drums. It will spread throughout the capital before noon tomorrow, so you can rest assured."

"I've always been at ease when you do things." Kan Zhiyi smiled.

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and went out. Since he couldn't persuade him, he didn't try to persuade him. He could only try his best to do things well.

In the early morning of the second day, the drums in Shuntian Mansion were sounded, because the drums were played in the early morning, the whole street was silent, and the sound could be heard clearly from far away.In just a cup of tea, a large number of people gathered in front of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to watch the fun.

Zhao Qin, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, was awakened by the sound of the drum beating before he woke up, and hurriedly put on his official uniform to go up to the hall, his demeanor and tone were naturally not much better.

"Whoever beat the drums, and what happened, report them one by one." Zhao Qin drank until midnight at Duke Xin's mansion yesterday, got a hangover and a headache, and was woken up by the sound of the drums. One can imagine the annoyance in his heart.

"Responding to my lord's words, it was a woman who beat the drum, and she said that she wanted to sue Chengxuanfang for seizing people's property, murdering her for money." Catcher said strangely.
