That night, Ji Wu Jiu slept in Kunning Palace again.
Ye Zhenzhen dragged a broken leg and didn't worry about what he would do, so she just let him go.
In the middle of the night, Ji Wu Jiu woke up again. There was no human touch, and there was no heat, but he still woke up, staring blankly at the pearls hanging from the ceiling with his eyes wide open. A pair of hands gradually appeared in front of his eyes, white and soft, with fingertips flying.
To be fair, the moral integrity of emperors is a bit smaller than that of ordinary people. They are also thick-skinned and do not care about being seen having fun. But now, holding a woman's hand secretly like this is really not a shameful thing, and it makes it seem like he is dissatisfied with his desires.
However, this sneaky, inhumane, and contrary to reason behavior brought him a different kind of stimulation, which he had never experienced from other women.
So he is both happy and confused.
Ye Zhenzhen still knows nothing about this. When I woke up in the morning, I felt that I had slept very deeply that night. Just after breakfast, Wang Youcai stumbled to report, "Empress, Sun Guiren hanged himself!"
Because she had just eaten, Ye Zhenzhen’s blood flowed into her stomach, so her brain’s reaction was a little slow, “Who is Mr. Sun?”
"That's Guiren Sun from Hanguang Palace, the one who was framed yesterday."
"Dead?"
"He is not dead. He has been rescued. Concubine Zhuang has sent someone to report to you quickly. Concubine Zhuang, do you want to go and take a look?"
"There's no need to go. She committed suicide so early in the morning. I don't think she really wanted to die. You go and report this matter to the emperor. Su Yue, pick out a few pieces of jewelry to reward Sun Guiren, and just say what I said. Her innocence is seen by Emperor Zhenlie and I, and no one will dare to gossip about her in the future. Let her serve the Emperor wholeheartedly, and don’t think about anything else, and don’t let the Emperor and I worry."
The two went quickly. Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself that although Sun Guiren acted a little falsely, she had suffered a great injustice yesterday and had committed suicide today, so Ji Wu Jiu might give her some face. Sure enough, Wang Youcai came back soon and said that the emperor had decreed that Sun Guiren was promoted two levels to a real fifth-level beauty, and was also given the title "Zhen" to commend her for her integrity, as if she had just watched indifferently yesterday when a good concubine accidentally injured an innocent person. It's like the **** is someone else.
When Ye Zhenzhen saw that Ji Wu Jiu was quite generous this time, she also added some more rewards, thinking that he seemed to be in a good mood today. She was thinking about something else, so she might as well tell Ji Wu Jiu in his good mood.
"Do you want to add a doctor of Western studies to the Imperial College?" Ji Wu Jiu was very surprised when he heard Ye Zhenzhen's suggestion. The Imperial College is an official school, and it has always only had Doctors of the Five Classics, and the Five Classics of Confucianism are respected. Now a nondescript Western doctor suddenly appears. Even if he, the emperor, can pass this resolution, the official students below may not be willing to accept it. .
"Yes, I have been studying Western classics these days. Although some of them are casual talk, there are also some things that are quite subtle when I think about it carefully. As a woman, I may not be able to learn these things. Why not let all the men in Daqi open their eyes and see how people thousands of miles away from the Kingdom of Middle-earth study physics and reason. Western learning does not need to be listed as a required subject like the Five Classics. Put it in the Imperial College and let Mr. Dou teach. Anyone who wants to listen can just listen."
Ji Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel funny when he heard her unwilling tone when talking about "female people". He was silent for a moment and replied, "This matter needs long-term consideration."
"You can't wait too long, the sooner the better. If you are afraid that people will be dissatisfied, then I should be the doctor of Western Studies myself, and let Mr. Dou be a scholar and just teach. I will sit here with the hat of a queen. , thinking about it, they wouldn’t dare to say anything.”
Ji Wu Jiu shook his head, "You're a 'female', how can you behave like this among a group of men? Moreover, speech is not something that can be suppressed by authority. It's better to just let nature take its course."
"Then Your Majesty..."
Ji Wu Jiu raised his head, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Tell me first why you are so anxious."
Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath and met his eyes seriously, "Your Majesty, there is a place in this world that we don't understand, but they understand us well. What's even more terrifying is that they have powerful force. They can build ships that are bigger and stronger than our Daqi, and they can also build artillery that is as powerful as our Daqi. Even though such an opponent is not on your side, you still have to defend against it. Instead of waiting for them to come to the door. Come on, why don’t we get to know them first and anticipate the enemy’s opportunities.”
"How do you know they will definitely come?"
"Their emperor blatantly supports robbery. As long as their robbers rob money from outside, they can become great heroes and be respected by the people. Isn't this enough? Etiquette and justice cannot be imposed on robbers. Treat such people only They can fight violence with violence. The reason why they have not reached here now is because, firstly, our Daqi country is powerful and can overwhelm the barbarians, and secondly, because it would cost a lot to travel across the ocean to start a war here, which is not something they can afford at the moment. But now Although the situation is like this, who can predict what will happen in the future, so we have to take precautions now!"
Ji Wu Jiu was silent for a while without saying anything.
"Your Majesty?" Ye Zhenzhen thought he was thinking of a reason for rejection.
He stood up from the dragon couch and walked toward her, his steps slow and powerful. Ye Zhenzhen looked at him walking over, feeling inexplicably lacking in confidence. She lowered her head and did not look at him, only staring at his gold-trimmed soap boots, approaching her little by little.
"You think very far," Ji Wu Jiu's voice sounded above her head after she stood still, "I feel sorry for myself."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at his belt in front of her. There were two swimming dragons symmetrically embroidered on the black satin, and a large black pearl was embedded in it. The shape was round and full, shining with a soft and deep light. "Your Majesty, thank you very much. I am stupid and straightforward. I say whatever I see. I am not as good as your Majesty. I have many difficulties in my heart."
Probably because he was praised for his good mood, Ji Wu Jiu's voice became lighter, "I want to reward you, what do you want?"
Ye Zhenzhen was very disrespectful, "No, I don't need anything."
"I want to reward you, please raise your head."
Ye Zhenzhen looked up at him as he was told. He was wearing a dark red Yanju suit today. The material could not be seen, but it was soft and docile. It was embroidered with black patterns. Within the black collar, a circle of white underwear is exposed. This outfit was calm and comfortable, not as domineering as the dragon robe, but it gave him a lazy look.
At this time, he was bending slightly and looking down at her, with the corners of his lips slightly curved and the corners of his eyes smiling.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at his handsome face. He kept looking at her like this without speaking, so she had no choice but to keep raising her head and looking at him. After persisting for a while, my neck felt a little sore and my head began to feel dizzy. So Ye Zhenzhen stared at his handsome face and began to think about it. How can it be so beautiful...
"What are you thinking about?" Ji Wu Jiu suddenly asked.
"You look so good-looking."
"..."
Having never been praised so directly, Ji Wu Jiu was stunned for a long time and could not recover. Ye Zhenzhen felt that she was really dizzy, and she said such incomprehensible words. She didn't dare to look at Ji Wu Jiu anymore, she lowered her head and fell silent, pointing the silk peony in the middle of her head towards Ji Wu Jiu.
Ji Wu Jiu finally realized that he seemed to be being teased again? As a ninety-five-year-old man, he can't always be teased by a woman. Thinking about it, he raised his hand to hold the tip of Ye Zhen Zhen's chin, and slowly raised it to force her to look at him, "Am I good-looking? So this is the reward you want?" He said, without waiting for Ye Zhen Zhen reacted and bent down to press a gentle kiss on her cheek.
This was the first time in her life that she was kissed by someone. Feeling the soft touch on her face that disappeared instantly, Ye Zhenzhen blushed and turned her head to avoid him.
His mouth moved to her ear and asked with a smile: "Is that enough?"
Ye Zhenzhen said nothing, and turned the wheel to leave, but Ji Wu Jiu refused to let her go, like a bully teasing a decent woman, he used his arms to hold down the back of her chair. Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to raise her hand and slash at his arm, with the intention of letting him dodge, but he started to fight with her. Ye Zhenzhen was speechless, but she didn't want to be underestimated by him, so she dealt with it with all her strength.
When Feng Youde came in with tea, he happened to see the scene of the two people fighting. Keywords such as "sneak attack" and "disobedience" suddenly popped into his mind. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "Your Majesty..." You Why are you taking action? "The Queen..." Why are you taking action with the Emperor?
Ji Wu Jiu stopped, picked up the tea in the tray and was about to drink it, when he caught sight of Ye Zhen Zhen's unhappy expression from the corner of his eye, so he handed the tea in her hand to her and picked up another cup.
Feng Youde thought to himself, the emperor and the empress seemed to be in a good relationship, who were they pretending to...
Ye Zhenzhen took a sip of tea and was about to leave when a maid from the Cining Palace came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen."
"Get up."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go to Cining Palace to discuss important matters."
"What happened?"
"These are the various matters concerning Miss Xu's entry into the palace."
"Let's go, let's go together." Ji Wu Jiu said and pushed up Ye Zhen Zhen's chair himself.
Ye Zhen Zhen thought to herself that she might have to be Ji Wu Jiu's spearman again this time. But although she firmly believed that she could point here and there, she still couldn't figure out where this **** was pointing.
Thinking about it, I turned my head and saw his hand on the back of the chair. The slender fingers were white at the joints due to excessive exertion.
If you don’t want to push, don’t force it, Ye Zhenzhen snorted coldly.
