Zhao Xuanyi didn't waste any time. He went directly to the second floor and sat in a private room. He had been to this tea house so many times. Today was the most awkward thing for Zhao Xuanyi. He didn't want to come, but he had to come! And when he saw Zhu Yuejun, Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what attitude to use to talk to her!
Should he scold her with anger, or beg her in a low voice, or give her condescending instructions like a successful person, or give her subtle hints? For a time, Zhao Xuanyi trapped himself in his own troubles!
Half an hour later, the white jade carriage arrived at the door of the tea house. Four maids protected Zhu Yuejun as he got off the carriage. After a crisp sound of footsteps, Zhu Yuejun came to the second floor.
Nanzhu opened the door, and Zhu Yuejun walked in. Nanzhu didn't dare to speak, closed the door directly, and left. She knew that these two people must have a lot to say!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw Zhu Yuejun, he immediately stood up and clasped his hands in fists, "See the eldest princess!"
Zhu Yuejun didn't speak, walked to the familiar seat and sat down slowly. Zhao Xuanyi also sat quietly on his seat. Neither of them spoke anymore and sat quietly!
After a few minutes, Zhu Yuejun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea. "The matter was done well this time! Brother Huang is very satisfied!"
Zhao Xuanyi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the receipt written by Liu Ping'an. Two luminous pearls have been delivered to him!"
Zhu Yuejun took it over, looked at it briefly, and then nodded, "Well done!"
"In addition, the grassroots people have prepared 10,000 dan of grain and are going to donate it all to the disaster area to compensate for my father's dereliction of duty. Please let my father go, for the sake of my father's hard work and hard work for so many years!" Zhao Xuanyi finished. Stand up and salute with clasped hands.
Zhu Yuejun was very surprised and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "What did you say? Ten thousand stones of grain? How did you get it?" At this time, even the court was having difficulty collecting grain. How did he do it?
"My woman, Du Xinyu! The eldest princess should remember that his father is a merchant and has his own methods. The common people can donate food at any time. I only hope that the eldest princess will help the common people and release his father from prison!" Zhao Xuanyi said again.
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, she felt very uncomfortable. What do you mean by my woman? Did you say it to yourself on purpose? "My brother and I have discussed this matter. Although you have made great contributions this time, it is not enough to help Mr. Zhao Mingqing to offset the merits! Therefore, brother Huang plans to fine Mr. Zhao two years of salary as a warning to others!"
"Thank you...? Two years?" Zhao Xuanyi suddenly raised his head and glared at Zhu Yuejun fiercely. "Your... eldest princess, you mean that my father can't resign yet?"
Zhu Yuejun nodded lightly, "Not yet, let's wait until the salary penalty for the past two years is over!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this answer, he couldn't help but feel angry: "This is different from what we agreed at the beginning!"
"I...can only do this!" Zhu Yuejun turned his head to the side and ignored Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuan walked around the table righteously, came to Zhu Yuejun, and grabbed him. "Zhu Yuejun, are you kidding me? I'm so desperate, but you're still holding on to my father, right?"
Zhu Yuejun also stared at Zhao Xuanyi. She had never been afraid since she was a child. "Don't you know me? I am the eldest princess, not the emperor. What can I do with the decision made by the emperor brother? Besides, Master Zhao's life is not saved now." ?"
"What the hell...?" Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he even raised his palm. Before it could fall, the door opened instantly. Nan Zhu rushed in, grabbed Zhao Xuanyi and threw him aside!
Zhao Xuanyi hit the wall heavily and stood up. Before he could get angry, Nan Zhu spoke first, "Zhao Xuanyi, are you going too far? This is the eldest princess of the dynasty. The actions you just committed are enough to implicate the nine tribes! You Don't be so unscrupulous just relying on the eldest princess's love for you, are you really going to feel uncomfortable if you don't die?"
"Don't do this to me! You guys don't mean what you say!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
Nan Zhu kicked the door shut and turned to glare at Zhao Xuanyi, "Zhao Xuanyi, don't you understand at all? You have lived in the capital for a few years, why can't you see the situation clearly? Do you know that the government and the public, the palace How many people inside and outside want to take the opportunity to get rid of Mr. Zhao?"
"They used the excuse of Mr. Zhao's theft of food funds for disaster relief to impeach two carriages! If the eldest princess hadn't stood up to all the opinions and went to the emperor every day to plead and lobby, do you think Mr. Zhao would have been let go so easily? Come out? Why don’t you think carefully?”
"The food funds for disaster relief have been lost, but the crime of exterminating the three tribes is only a two-year fine. What else do you think? Do you think it is really as simple as a fine? This is the time for the emperor to give Mr. Zhao a hard time for his crimes. If this were not the case, could those civil and military officials spare Mr. Zhao?"
"The eldest princess has not slept a wink or eaten for several days because of Lord Zhao's affairs. Do you really want to force the eldest princess to death before you are willing to do so? Do you want Lord Zhao to quit the court just as soon as he leaves the court? Who do you think you are? Ye Does Yuanzhi dare to say this? Does King Yong'an dare to say this? Don't go too far!"
Nan Zhu's scolding from the thunder fire cannon instantly cooled down Zhao Xuanyi's excited heart. He turned to look at Zhu Yuejun who was being protected by Nan Zhu. Zhu Yuejun did not look at Zhao Xuanyi, but turned his back to Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi never expected that this matter would be so serious. Even if he did so much, it would not be enough to save his father. Zhu Yuejun seemed to be really helping him this time, which made Zhao Xuanyi feel ashamed!
Zhao Xuanyi sighed and slowly lowered his head, "Thank you for your hard work, eldest princess!"
Zhu Yuejun did not speak, but the wet traces on his sleeves seemed to have said everything. "General Zhao, you are welcome. It is really a year of disaster. The food in your hand is very important. If possible, I will send someone to get it early tomorrow morning." , sent directly to the disaster area, and let everyone in the country know that it was a gift from your Zhao family!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head slightly and said.
"The procedures for releasing Mr. Zhao are already being processed. He will be released in the evening. You can go to Dali Temple to pick him up then! Nanzhu, let's go back to the palace!" After Zhu Yuejun finished speaking, he walked towards the door!
Zhao Xuanyi came over in a hurry and stood in front of Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun stopped. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun with tears on his face and wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth!
"General Zhao, if nothing happens, please get out of the way!" Nan Zhu said.
Zhao Xuanyi chuckled lightly, "I won't thank you. You are the one operating the whole thing! I know, I am just a chess piece. Now that the matter is done, is the eldest princess satisfied with the result? Go back to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then Go to Wuchenzhai and write some beautiful words?"
Zhu Yuejun slapped Zhao Xuanyi on the face and glared at Zhao Xuanyi with both eyes. Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Sometimes I really envy you people who are high and powerful. It's you who send people out to do things, it's you who accuse people, and you let people go." It’s still you!”
"General Zhao, please be careful what you say!" Nan Zhu said, "If General Zhao is fine, please get out of the way!" Nan Zhu pushed Zhao Xuanyi away and opened the door, "Elder Princess, please!"
Zhu Yuejun shook his head, walked out of the room, and walked downstairs without looking back or paying attention to Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi stood there, watching Zhu Yuejun leave, without saying a word, just watching quietly, touching the faint numbness on his face, Zhao Xuanyi smiled helplessly, sometimes he really didn't know that it was God playing tricks. People, people are still playing God!
At sunset, as the sun set, Zhao Xuanyi arrived at the entrance of Dali Temple in a carriage. Shen Wei pulled the carriage and said, "Young Master, we are here!"
Zhao Xuanyi opened the curtain and got off the carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Wang Heming, Li Hanrui, Li Hanyan and Li Yukun waiting outside! Zhao Xuanyi came over in a hurry.
Li Yukun saw Zhao Xuanyi and waved to Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly ran over, "Father-in-law, this time it went so smoothly. Thank you for your help!"
"Silly words, we are a family. If I don't help you, who will I help?" Li Yukun said with a smile, "Han Rui told me about this matter. You did a good job. You really did a good job. You stayed calm in times of crisis and were well organized. I’m very satisfied with the result, old man!”
"Father-in-law is ridiculous!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked at Wang Heming and immediately knelt down.
Wang Heming was frightened and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Xuanyi before letting him kneel down. "Brother, what are you doing? Get up!"
Zhao Xuanyi stood up slowly, "My father has been in Dali Temple for so long. Brother Wang must have taken good care of me, so he should be thanked!"
"Don't do this. If you really want to treat me to a drink, don't your gift ruin my life? And this time I know that Mr. Zhao was framed, but I can't do anything to help. I am I feel very uncomfortable!" Wang Heming said with a sigh.
Several people were discussing, and several detectives helped Zhao Mingqing to walk out. Looking at Zhao Mingqing again, he was in poor spirits and thin, but his health seemed to be fine!
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly helped Zhao Mingqing over, "Father, you have suffered!"
Zhao Mingqing smiled with relief and waved his hand gently, "I am old and useless. I have brought trouble to your next generation. My father is incompetent!"
This sentence almost made Zhao Xuanyi cry: "Father, don't say that, this is what a son should do. Father, let's go home and talk about it when we go home!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he helped Zhao Mingqing down the steps!
Zhao Mingqing saw Li Yukun, and Li Yukun also looked at Zhao Mingqing. Both old men showed a helpless smile, said nothing, got on the carriage, and left Dali Temple!
Everyone gathered in Zhao Mingqing's house. Zhao Mingqing returned to the room, took a bath and changed clothes, and then walked out accompanied by Xu Yuchan. The courtyard was already filled with three banquet tables, with Li Yukun, Li Hanrui, and Li Hanyan taking the main seats. A relative, another table with servants such as Zi Yuan, Du Xinyu, Li Zhi and Liu Bo, and another table with senior fellow apprentices such as Shen Wei and Wang Heqing!
Zhao Mingqing sat next to Li Yukun and looked at the group of people in the yard. He sighed and couldn't speak for a while. Li Yukun took Zhao Mingqing's hand and said, "Brother, don't say anything. It's all the fault of these rebellious officials and traitors!"
Zhao Mingqing nodded and raised his glass, "Everyone, everyone did a good job this time. No matter what I did, the victims finally got food and relief funds. Let's drink to the Emperor!"
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine!
After that, it was just casual. Everyone was chatting and drinking. Zhao Mingqing looked at Zhao Xuanyi and smiled slightly, "Son, have a drink with your father!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his wine glass.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, otherwise, my father's head would have moved!" Zhao Mingqing said with a smile.
Xu Yuchan's eyes turned red, and she patted Zhao Mingqing's arm, "What nonsense are you talking about? You drank too much, right?"
Zhao Mingqing laughed loudly, "If nothing else, let's cheer!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi drank a drink with his father!
Xu Yuchan picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then looked around, "Hey? Where's Xinyu?"
When Du Xinyu heard calling herself, she raised her little hand, "Here!"
Xu Yuchan waved to Du Xinyu, "Why did you sit at that table? Come and sit next to me. It's not like there is no place here. Come here quickly!"
Xu Yuchan's words made everyone present dumbfounded. The old woman actually called Du Xinyu to her side? What does this imply? Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything!
When Li Hanyan, who was sitting next to Zhao Xuanyi, saw this scene, her face turned very cold, and her eyes were fixed on Du Xinyu! It seems that he is very dissatisfied with this scene!
Du Xinyu looked at Zi Yuan beside him, but did not dare to move. Zi Yuan's face also became very stiff. Xu Yuchan called again, "Come here, quickly!"
Du Xinyu also saw Li Hanyan's murderous gaze, but the old woman kept urging her, and she did not dare to refuse. Then she stood up timidly, left her seat, and came to Xu Yuchan's side. Xu Yuchan opened the chair and let Du Xinyu Sit on it!
Zhao Mingqing didn't understand either, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, madam? Do you really like this maid? If you do, call me home to serve you!"
Xu Yuchan glared at Zhao Mingqing, "Shut up, what do you know? This is my son's future concubine. You can be rescued this time because Xinyu helped a lot!"
One sentence made the atmosphere at the scene very strange. Although everyone knew about Du Xinyu and Zhao Xuanyi, the old woman saying such words on this occasion was clearly a notice to everyone!
And this is a bit unreasonable. After all, if a man wants to take a concubine, he must first obtain the consent of his wife. Li Hanyan has never expressed her opinion. Li Yukun is still sitting here. Is Xu Yuchan going beyond the negotiation and directly deciding the result?
Du Xinyu didn't have any special emotions. Since the old woman said so, she was naturally happy. She originally wanted to marry Zhao Xuanyi. Seeing Li Hanyan's cold eyes, she was no longer afraid. She and Zhao Xuanyi But there is a relationship between husband and wife, at least she does not, and she has the love of the old lady, and neither does she, Li Hanyan!
Li Hanyan looked at Zhao Xuanyi next to her, but Zhao Xuanyi seemed not to hear, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, "The meat was stewed well today! Who made it?"
"I...did it?" Coyotito raised his hand and said, wondering if it was inappropriate for him to speak now? Looking at the situation at the scene, it looks like there is going to be a big fight. How about I run away first?
