"My father-in-law has done his best to take care of the Supreme Emperor. He has both merit and hard work. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart." Wen Jin said.
Jixiang felt excited in his heart. What the empress said...did she have something to entrust to him?
Is there an opportunity to climb up?
"Every slave deserves his fair share. I dare not take any credit." Jixiang saluted quickly.
Wen Jin smiled and said, "But there is something I want to ask my father-in-law about."
"My dear, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
"That Taoist priest Zhou Lingfeng next to the Supreme Emperor...how much do you know about him, father-in-law?
"For example, how is his Taoism? When will he leave Taihe Palace alone?
"Who is he closely related to in the palace?"
Wen Jin lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang's eyes rolled rapidly, "I don't understand Taoism...but maybe His Highness the Crown Prince does."
Wen Jin was obviously surprised when he heard this.
But she didn't show it on her face, she just said "oh".
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally hated Daozhang Zhou, but after Daozhang Zhou checked the files of the Jiang family's exile, His Highness suddenly became enthusiastic about Daozhang Zhou.
"A few days ago, His Highness went to the Taihe Palace and asked Taoist Master Zhou to use Taoism to show His Highness some 'mysterious realm'. His Highness was very happy."
The auspicious words fell to the ground.
Wen Jin became more and more surprised.
But based on her understanding of her son... Mokan Yu'er is young and he has his own sense of right and wrong, good and evil.
He will not hate someone easily, but if he offends him, he will not forgive easily.
There is an obvious contradiction in Ji Xiang's words... Yu'er hates Zhou Lingfeng, but how could she no longer hate him after Zhou checked the Jiang family's files?
There is no logic here.
The only possibility... is that Yu'er deliberately approached Zhou Lingfeng.
"Why did Zhou Lingfeng check the Jiang family's files? What did he find?" Wen Jin asked.
Ji Xiang tilted his head and looked suspicious, "I guess I didn't find out... At that time, Taoist Master Zhou entered meditation, and His Highness the Crown Prince had all the files of the Jiang family removed and burned."
"That's right!" Ji Xiang remembered something again, "The Emperor seemed not to like Daozhang Zhou and the Crown Prince being too close, so he even scolded Daozhang Zhou for this."
This simple sentence made Wen Jin read a lot of information.
She smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble my father-in-law today. My father-in-law's words will be very useful to me.
"In the future, I need my father-in-law to work harder in front of my father."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, someone gave Ji Xiang a purse, which felt like a piece of paper.
Ji Xiang was very excited.
Being able to ask the Queen to accept his favor is more valuable than any thank you gift!
He repeatedly refused, but the palace maids at Renhe Palace were also persistent and insisted on giving it to him.
"My father-in-law, just accept it. If you are willing to do your best, I can rest assured." Wen Jin said.
Ji Xiang then took the purse.
When he left Renhe Palace and touched the warm purse, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
"I've long heard that the Queen is very generous with her rewards...and that's true. Almost half of Daliang's business is related to her, and the Queen is as rich as the country.
"This bank note... won't be more than a thousand taels, right?"
Ji Xiang paused and patted his head, "Hey! What am I thinking! Just answer a few questions, and it would be a great kindness to give you a hundred taels!"
He took out the piece of paper from his wallet, opened it and took a look...
"My mother..."
Jixiang's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
"No...it can't be right?"
He rubbed his eyes, pinched himself again, patted his face, squeezed his flesh... It was not a dream! it is true!
He was looking down at the land deed in his hand - it hadn't disappeared! What a title deed!
"Mom! My son is going to be successful! This is a house in Sanli Hutong, Kyoto! Woohoo! My son is going to be successful!"
Although the house is not big, it is just a courtyard upon entering.
But in Sanli Hutong, where every inch of land is at a premium!
Who lives there? They were all great eunuchs who had served the emperor and were well-known in the palace!
Ji Xiang's throat became dry with excitement, and he swallowed hard.
He quickly knelt down in the direction of Renhe Palace.
Although no one saw him, he solemnly bowed three times.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is truly a kind and generous master! I can't thank you enough... Wuwu."
Ji Xiang never knew that people would shed so many tears when they are happy.
Originally, with his strength, it was impossible to buy a house in Kyoto within five years...
He planned not to think about it again until ten years later.
Unexpectedly, working for the Queen... this speed is like flying through the clouds and mist!
With a house, he can buy a "daughter-in-law" and adopt a son... He can be considered a man with future generations.
Jixiang returned to Taihe Palace with his eyes full of tears all the way.
When Wen Jin got the news from Ji Xiang, she immediately had a simple plan in mind.
Why did the Supreme Emperor get angry and blame Zhou Lingfeng because he was close to Yu'er?
Obviously... the master in the palace is most afraid of people around him joining other masters.
The Supreme Emperor was once the biggest boss in the palace, but now he has taken a back seat, and the people around him want to change jobs?
No matter how much he doted on Yu'er, he couldn't bear this "blow", so he wanted to get angry.
And this is exactly a "fulcrum" that Wen Jin can use.
After Wen Jin deployed the plan, she told Xiao Yuchen to teach Yu'er her homework today.
See if Yu'er has been lazy during this time.
It's not that Wen Jin suddenly started to "chicken baby", but that she wanted to borrow Yu'er's east palace.
She didn't want Yu'er to know, so she used Xiao Yuchen to hold Yu'er back.
On this day, Zhou Lingfeng was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Suddenly a little eunuch knocked gently on his door.
"Is Master Zhou here?"
Zhou Lingfeng's heart moved... and he suddenly felt uneasy.
His heart was beating fast, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen today.
He frowned and counted with his fingers.
"Daozhang Zhou, this servant is the little virtuous son of the East Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince would like to invite you to the East Palace. Look..."
The sound at the door made him feel uneasy.
East Palace! Prince!
Zhou Lingfeng's breathing was slightly rapid.
This was the opportunity he was looking forward to, but it also seemed to be lurking in danger.
His premonition told him not to go!
"Ahem, Pindao... is not feeling well today. It is inconvenient to visit His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Lingfeng said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he felt calm, but also a little disappointed.
The eunuch outside the door seemed stunned, "Are the Taoist priests also uncomfortable? Aren't they cultivators of immortality and Taoism?"
The eunuch muttered to himself, and then said inside, "I understand, then Taoist Master Zhou has a good rest."
Zhou Lingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, couldn't Taoist priests get sick? Is that still a human being?
How can it be... wrong for people to eat whole grains?
He knows he is human! But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have regarded him as the "immortal of enlightenment"! That’s why I thought he wouldn’t get sick!
Now telling the prince that he is sick...doesn't it mean that he can't do it?
It was so easy for him to get the prince to worship him! This even caused the dissatisfaction of the Supreme Emperor!
If you refuse today...wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?
"Uncle, wait a minute!" Zhou Lingfeng stood up quickly and opened the door.
