Ji Yunshu, are you sick?
You deserve an award!
According to what Qin Shiyu said, not only should she receive an award, she should receive a grand prize.
Qi Zhen Emperor pondered for a moment, his furrowed brows gradually relaxing.
Waving his hand, he said, "Enough. We will measure your words again."
Qin Shiyu lowered his head.
However, Qi Zhen Emperor was still worried, "However, Marquis Kang has lost two thousand soldiers this time. That old fellow will not be happy about it."
"This is the other reason why this humble subject came to the palace today."
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty is well aware of Marquis Kang's temper. Although he was willing to lend his troops, he will definitely be unhappy about losing two thousand soldiers. Your Majesty, why don't you make up for it, lest Marquis Kang keeps saying that the imperial court owes him a favor in the future."
"Do you want us to make up for his two thousand soldiers?"
"There is no need for that. Your Majesty only needs to make up for Marquis Kang's love."
Love of the heart!
Qi Zhen immediately understood.
All the civil and military officials in the imperial court knew that Marquis Kang's love was the Golden Woven Armor!
Qi Zhen's brows furrowed tightly. He weighed the pros and cons of the pros and cons.
Outside the hall.
Jing Yi did not leave, but stood outside for a while.
Not long after, a young eunuch came out, bowed, and whispered a few words in Jing Yi's ear.
Then, he said softly, "Prince Yi, this servant only heard this much."
Jing Yi nodded, gave the hall a meaningful look, then left.
He went straight to Concubine Xiao's palace.
He told her everything that had happened just now.
Concubine Xiao narrowed her phoenix eyes, her nail polish and long, slender fingers gently clasped the armrests of her chair.
After a while, she said, "Let him be for the time being. Jing Rong has already left the capital. What you should be concerned about is your marriage with that daughter of the Ji family, not a prince who is destined to fail."
Jing Yi nodded, "Yes, this son understands."
Jing Yi was always so respectful towards his mother.
Concubine Xiao said, "Your Imperial Father hasn't been in a good mood these days. Although your Imperial Father appears to be fine with the Crown Prince's death, he's actually very sad. After a few days, when the Crown Prince's death is over, I will mention your marriage with the Ji family to your Imperial Father. But the most important thing is that you don't commit any crimes. Whether Prince Rong is good or bad outside, you can't care about it openly. In front of your Imperial Father, you should say more good things about Prince Rong."
"Yes, I'll listen to Imperial Mother."
Jing Yi was obedient!
After all, this was a critical period.
After talking about her son, Concubine Xiao thought of her daughter.
He heaved a long sigh, his head aching.
Her slender fingers propped up her forehead, then slid down to her temples and lightly pressed a few times.
Jing Yi noticed and understood. He asked, "Is Imperial Mother worried about Xuan 'er?"
Concubine Xiao nodded.
"That girl has already been grounded by me for many days. She hasn't eaten much and her body has become much thinner. I am truly worried, but I am even more worried that she will tell your father about our plan. In the end, everything will be for naught."
She sighed again.
"What do you think, Imperial Mother?"
Concubine Xiao was worried. She propped herself up and walked a few steps. A trace of deep meaning appeared in her eyes.
"Xuan 'er has also reached the age of marriage. Instead of confining her in the palace, it is better to let her go. Last year, the third son of the King of Huyi sent an envoy to send an invitation to propose marriage. However, at that time, there was a large-scale corruption scandal in Pi Province, so the matter was postponed. Because of this postponement, the King of Qujiang also proposed marriage, so it has been delayed until now."
The meaning was obvious.
Jing Yi was slightly surprised. "Why didn't Imperial Mother mention this matter?"
"That invitation was sent directly to your father's desk by an envoy. Only a few internal officials knew about it. They mentioned it to me, but I didn't take it to heart at that time."
"Then, Imperial Mother, are you planning to propose to Imperial Father to marry Xuan 'er to Huyi?"
"Although the people of Huyi are mostly barbarians, Huyi is after all a rich and fertile land. I heard that the third son of the King of Huyi is also a man of striking appearance. He is proficient in both literature and military strategy. Moreover, he is highly valued by the King of Huyi. Perhaps in the future, he will become the new King, and Xuan 'er will become the Empress."
In this game of chess, every step was played with the intention of gaining benefits.
Jing Yi was doubtful. "Is it feasible?"
"As long as your Imperial Father agrees, everything is feasible. However, whether it is your Xuan 'er's marriage or yours, it should wait for a period of time. Otherwise, it will disturb your Imperial Father and cause unnecessary trouble."
"Mm."
The two of them fell silent.
Concubine Xiao already had a precise plan in mind.
… …
The next day.
The Emperor had decreed that Prince Rong had made mistakes and meritorious deeds, so there was no reward or punishment.
As for Marquis Kang, he would be rewarded!
The imperial edict sent out from the capital was divided into two portions.
One was sent to Jing Rong in Shanhuai County, and the other to Marquis Kang in Jing Province, along with the golden woven armor.
Marquis Kang was overjoyed.
He held the golden woven armor in his hands, his eyes glistening with tears. In the end, he could not help but burst into tears.
He had yearned for the treasure for most of his life. Now that he had finally obtained it, it was only natural that he could not control his emotions.
He hugged it when he ate.
He hugged it when he slept.
He hugged it when he went to the toilet.
He even ordered someone to make an embroidered box out of gold and placed the golden woven armor inside. There were also six locks on the outside.
Everyone was speechless.
The moment Jing Rong received the imperial edict, he stuffed it into the bottom of the box.
After this incident, Jing Rong was even more careful than before. He could be said to be inseparable from Ji Yunshu, and his eyes were almost glued to her every day.
This was to prevent this woman from being kidnapped.
It was a saying that came true.
Afraid of dropping it in one's hands, afraid of melting in one's mouth.
However, Ji Yunshu was depressed for two days.
Jing Rong comforted her, "This prince has already sent people to Gaoshan Village. If the jade is still there, even if the village is burnt to ashes, even if the jade has melted, I will still find it for you."
Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you stupid? How can jade melt? It's just the color that changes. "
"…"
Jing Rong was angry and speechless.
"Is the jade that Wei Yi gave you that important?"
"It's his father's."
Jing Rong was shocked, and said in disgust, "Ji Yunshu, are you crazy? Why are you so nervous about his father's jade? Is there some big secret hidden in that jade, or is it a treasure map? "
You're the one who's crazy!
Ji Yunshu glared at him.
"That was the only thing Wei Yi's father left him that was worth remembering. He gave it to me, and now that I've lost it, how am I going to explain it to him?"
Jing Rong's face was full of jealousy, but he still swallowed it down.
His voice softened, "Alright, as long as that thing is still there, I will find it for you. Don't worry."
At this time …
Jing Rong's guard rushed into the courtyard, shouting happily, "Your Highness, Teacher Ji, I found it, I found it, I found that piece of jade."
Ji Yunshu suddenly stood up and went out the door.
The guard carefully held the jade and handed it to her.
"Teacher Ji, take a look. Is this the right one?"
Ji Yunshu held it in her hands and looked at it, nodding happily.
"It's this piece."
"That's good." The guard frantically wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Where did you find it?"
"The First Master of Gaoshan Village returned it. He heard that Teacher Ji lost a piece of jade, so he took it out and said that his men found it in the fire."
"In the fire?"
"Yes."
That's strange!
Since this jade was found in the fire, how come it was not damaged at all and was not damaged in the slightest?
Could it be a piece of rare jade?
