Since being beaten, Ma Deli has not entered the palace again.

Ji Wu Jiu found another Westerner for Ye Zhenzhen, this time a missionary, commonly known as a Western monk. This man was in his late sixties, wearing a large, ill-fitting black gown with no belt, and a silver cross hanging around his neck. His hair was as thick as a sheep's, and below his nose was a thick white beard that almost covered his mouth. As soon as he saw this man's eyes, Ji Wu Jiu knew that he was very wise: this bearded man looked at everyone with an expression of "You have fallen, but don't worry, God will forgive you", and the emperor was no exception.

Ji Wu Jiu forgave him for his disrespect and introduced him to Ye Zhen Zhen.

This man's appearance is not as good-looking as Ma Deli's. You have to concentrate to look away from his thick hair and accurately see his appearance.

"He walks like a sperm-filled sack holding a ball of wool on his head." This was Ye Zhenzhen's first impression of this person.

This metaphor made Ji Wu Jiu spit tea again, so that every time he saw the big beard, the first words that came to his mind were the words "big sack of semen", and it was like a curse. Don't go.

The bearded man was called "Mr. Dou", and Ye Zhenzhen also called him that. Mr. Dou actually liked her more than Ma Deli because he was literate and knowledgeable. One thing Ye Zhenzhen especially likes to do is to let him eat, and then watch with a smile as he struggles to avoid his beard and put the meal into his mouth, shaking his beard as he chews, which is very interesting.

After observing for a few days, Ji Wu Jiu found that Ye Zhenzhen was quite satisfied with this person, and he also felt quite satisfied. I thought this was over.

But Ye Zhenzhen doesn’t think so. Although her **** were not small, she was not big-hearted. She had not forgotten how Ji Wu Jiu beat the innocent Ma Deli violently. She thought that she must get this back.

What a coincidence, as soon as you dozed off, someone handed you a pillow. Something happened in the past few days, which made Ye Zhenzhen see enough of Ji Wu Jiu's liveliness.

This matter begins two days ago when the female family members of the Ye family came to the palace to visit the Queen.

Ye Zhenzhen’s grandmother, mother, and two sisters-in-law all entered the palace. Her third brother has not yet married.

As soon as the old lady saw that her heart was hurting, she didn't care that the other party was the queen, she held her in her arms and cried non-stop. The other three women also cried when they saw this, and Ye Zhenzhen's mother cried particularly fiercely. Ye Zhenzhen was so frightened that she couldn't stop her after trying to persuade her. Fortunately, several maids who came with her tried to persuade her and finally stopped. So the ladies sat together and talked about themselves.

As for women, the only things they talk about when they get together are some family affairs and anecdotes about various aristocratic families in the capital. As they talked, they talked about the Queen Mother's niece's recent breakup of engagement. This daughter-in-law's name was Xu Weirong, she was the same age as Ye Zhenzhen. She had been promised to a young master from a certain family. Unexpectedly, the wedding was approaching, but there was news that the good match had ended in ruins.

"I heard it was because the man had an emergency and was about to die, so he didn't want to delay Xu Weirong... What disease did he have that was so dangerous?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

"It's a disease," her sister-in-law said bluntly, "The man ran away with someone!"

"!!!" Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth in surprise, "Really? But...if it is true, his family will probably keep a tight lid on it. How will outsiders know?"

"It is true... There is no airtight wall in the world." The mother replied.

Ye Zhenzhen covered her mouth, frowned and shook her head, "This person is too irresponsible. He abandoned his family and career, and still delayed an innocent girl."

"Don't be too busy sympathizing with others, think about yourself, silly boy." Grandma nodded Ye Zhenzhen's forehead.

"Me?" I don't know why.

"She is the Queen Mother's niece and the Emperor's cousin." She was persuasive.

"...The Queen Mother won't let her into the palace?" It is really unlucky and disgraceful for a girl's family to encounter such a thing. It is inevitable that some people will gossip. But if the emperor can take over, it will be very different.

Old Mrs. Ye nodded with worry.

Ye Zhenzhen was a little speechless, thinking about how good this palace was, with two women trying to squeeze in. When she thought about that **** Ji Wu Jiu having a beautiful little wife, she was even more speechless.

It would be nice if I could interfere with it...

Having said that, the queen can still speak up when it comes to matters like the emperor taking concubines. If she stopped him, even if Ji Wu Jiu brought the girl into the palace, he would not be able to give her a high status for a while. But before that, Ye Zhenzhen still wanted to understand Ji Wu Jiu's thoughts first, she just had to go against him.

"Your Majesty, I have heard about Sister Xu. I am a daughter of a family, but how could something like this happen to me? It's such a miserable life." That day, Ji Wujiu came to Kunning Palace to conduct routine visits to disabled comrades. When expressing condolences, Ye Zhenzhen said hypocritically.

"She is two months older than you." Ji Wu Jiu slowly blew the tea leaves, and the hot steam from the tea blocked his face, making his face look a little blurry.

Ye Zhenzhen touched her nose sarcastically, "Well... Qian'er heard her mother talk about her, and she is a smart, beautiful, knowledgeable and polite woman."

"My mother has already mentioned this matter to me."

Just know it! Ye Zhenzhen's eyes rolled, "Then what does the Emperor think?"

Ji Wu Jiu put down the teacup, "On this kind of matter, the Queen can just make the decision, you don't need to ask me."

"After all, I'm getting you a concubine, so naturally I have to ask the emperor what he means."

Ji Wu Jiu didn't answer, he raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, with a deep gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.

Ye Zhenzhen was not good at these twists and turns, so she felt a little guilty when he saw her and dodge her eyes.

"She is my childhood playmate. She is smart and cute. Naturally, I hope that she can stay with me in the palace. The Queen will decide what to do."

Then she cannot be allowed to enter the palace. Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself.

This way she will not let her enter the palace. Ji Wu Jiu thought to himself.

Xu Weirong is Ji Wu Jiu's cousin. He has no brothers or sisters. He has been close to Xu Weirong since he was a child, but emotionally he only treats her as brother and sister. When he thought of letting her become his woman, he would feel uncomfortable and contrary to human ethics, so he naturally did not want Xu Weirong to enter the palace.

It's just that he saw Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts, so he deliberately said the opposite. When he thought that this stupid woman couldn't even tell a lie, Ji Wu Jiu despised her.

***

The Queen Mother strongly advocated that Xu Weirong enter the palace, but the Queen blocked it in every possible way. This is the hottest news inside and outside the palace in recent days.

Ji Wu Jiu pretended to be looking forward to hugging the beauty, watching the excitement and occasionally commenting on Ye Zhen Zhen's performance. Once, he knocked on her forehead and said, "Jealous woman."

This incident spread quickly, and the label of "jealous wife" was placed on Ye Zhenzhen's head. Ye Zhenzhen suspected that she had fallen into Ji Wu Jiu's trap again this time, because if this crime was carried out, it would be easier for him to depose the queen in the future.

So Ye Zhenzhen was a little hesitant.

Just when Ji Wu Jiu was about to shamelessly announce that he was too distressed by the jealous wife, so he gave up on having a concubine, someone he had not calculated stepped forward.

Empress Xianfei said, "Although it is the Queen Empress who has the final say on the affairs of the Sixth Palace, since I am co-managing the harem, I must stand up and say something fair."

Concubine Xian has her own plans. Xu Weirong's entry into the palace was both a threat and a help to her, regardless of the pros and cons, but since the emperor liked it, the woman would probably enter the palace in the end. She might as well be a favor and gain a reputation as a virtuous person.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t want to be accused of being a jealous wife, so she ignored them.

Ji Wu Jiu:......

This time he really shot himself in the foot. He was only thinking about how to torment Ye Zhenzhen and forgot about the other smart person. But... Concubine Xian is really too smart this time.

Ye Zhenzhen was a little confused, why was he still unhappy even after she compromised? This **** is too hard to please.

At this time, she was in Kunning Palace, with a small table in front of her and several drawings spread on the table. The idea of ​​the Pearl Bird Gun had begun to take shape. She told many people about it, but no one believed she could make it, not even Ji Wu Jiu.

This is the tragedy of being a genius, Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself.

Ji Wu Jiu was leaning on his chin and looking at her, his jade-like face showing a hint of exhaustion. He was in a bad mood because of Concubine Xian's involvement. He didn't know why he ran to Kunning Palace. This woman didn't know how to please him at all. She only thought about how to cause trouble for him all day long.

"Isn't the Emperor busy recently?" Ye Zhenzhen asked implicitly.

Ji Wu Jiu suddenly remembered something else, "Do you often reward toads to others?" These days, he had received intermittently insinuating reports from various concubines, saying that the Queen always rewarded toads and that this thing was a mascot. I'm embarrassed to complain, but...it always makes people feel uncomfortable when they are rewarded too much. Wang Zhaoyi also took a strong dose of medicine and placed a large gilt toad covered with gems on the bedside. That night, the toad broke into Ji Wu Jiu's dream.

The effect of repeated complaints is obvious. After the "Toad" has established a connection with "The Joy of Bed", Ji Wu Jiu will inevitably be distracted by thinking of something ugly when doing that kind of thing, and then he will I feel a little overwhelmed...

The concubines did not dare to say anything on the surface, but they secretly hinted to the Imperial Kitchen and Imperial Hospital that the Emperor has been a little weak recently...

Such words would hurt the emperor's dignity, so everyone only added something to the emperor's food in private, without saying anything.

So Ji Wu Jiu had unknowingly eaten a lot of strange things recently. He didn't know it, but sometimes he would wake up from the heat in the middle of the night. You know it's late autumn now...

Now that Ye Zhenzhen heard Ji Wu Jiu mention this matter, she openly admitted, "Yes."

"Does it have any special meaning?"

You can't mention "having many children", otherwise you will say that his sons are toads in front of the emperor; you can't mention getting rich, do the emperor's women need to get rich... After thinking about it, Ye Zhenzhen said, "It means they They are all toads, and you are a swan. The toad wants to eat the swan's meat." Although it may not be pleasant to listen to, it is flattering at least.

This man really dares to say anything. Ji Wu Jiu was not annoyed and asked again, "What about you? Are you a toad too?"

"I am your queen, and naturally I am also a swan."

Ji Wu Jiu smiled slightly, "What about Concubine Xian? Is she also a toad?" Thinking of Concubine Xian's good deeds, he frowned again.

Ye Zhenzhen raised her head and moved her gaze from the drawing to Ji Wu Jiu's face. She smiled and said, "The Concubine Xian is the Fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace."

"Is this how you see her?"

"But having said that, "Huainan Honglie" records that when Chang'e flew to the moon that day, she finally turned into a moon spirit. The so-called moon spirit is another name for a toad."

So it’s still a toad!

Ji Wu Jiu was greatly amused by her nonsense, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot. Seeing that it was dinner time, he did not move away and had dinner with Ye Zhenzhen in Kunning Palace.

After dinner, the emperor and empress looked at each other, big eyes glaring at each other.

Ye Zhenzhen thought he would leave after eating like last time, but she didn’t expect that this time he seemed to have grown on the chair. Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to shout outside, "Feng Youde, bring the sign over here, the emperor hasn't turned it over yet."

"No need." As soon as Feng Youde poked his head, Ji Wu Jiu stopped him.

Ye Zhenzhen had a bad premonition, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to go for a walk?"

Ji Wu Jiu looked at her with a little smile in his eyes, "Aren't we two swans? Which toad do you want me to find?"

"..."
