Chapter 10 Hatred

"Why did the Third Prince Consort say this?"

"Grandma Imperial, you have seen more of the world than we have, and you know that a long-term marriage is the best. How many love at first sights have been tempered by time throughout the ages? Newlyweds, if they don't have too many grudges, they all like each other.

, in the beginning, everyone was rushing to stay together, but these grievances gradually accumulated in the long river of time. You won’t see anything when you are newly married, and you may not see anything in a year or two. Once you have children,

It will be later or three to five years before the contradictions gradually surface. So my grandson-in-law can answer your question today, but he hopes to answer your question one year from now or even three to five years from now."

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at his serious look and asked, "According to what you said, the Ai family can't ask you within this year, right? If the Ai family doesn't ask, then how do you plan to treat Zhao Rong?"

"Don't worry, Imperial Grandma, your grandson-in-law will be loyal to Zhaorong within this year and take good care of her daily life."

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "You are an honest child. You avoid answering questions that you can't answer. It's better to be like this. It's better to be more responsible than to go to Haikou. You have never met Zhaorong, and you have only been together for two days.

It's hard to have such deep feelings. The only reason you can take good care of her now is your sincerity. The Ai family doesn't believe in the oath of love that can be established in one night. If you use sweet words, it will appear to be false.

To be honest, this is quite good, he is an honest child."

When Jing Yu heard this, he was a little frightened. He always felt that even the slightest movement he made in front of the Queen Mother could be captured by her, let alone openly playing tricks with the Queen Mother.

He did not dare to deceive in the slightest, and immediately saluted and said: "Thank you, Grandma Huang, for your understanding!"

Queen Mother Jiang accepted his salute while sipping tea.

After taking a sip of strong tea, she suddenly asked: "By the way, have you brought the agarwood you just mentioned?"

Jing Yu replied: "I brought it! I originally wanted to give it as a gift to the imperial grandmother, but my grandson-in-law didn't know the rules of the palace and gave a gift rashly without knowing whether it was appropriate or not. Is it necessary to test it first..."

"Send the imperial doctor over to test the fragrance."

Not long after, several imperial doctors came over to examine the agarwood brought by Jing Yu.

Queen Mother Jiang did not ask any more questions and sipped her tea silently. Seeing that she had stopped, Jing Yu felt relieved.

Jing Yu secretly thought: Xu Ruyi, please come back quickly! If the Queen Mother continues to ask questions, I will really not be able to hold on any longer!

While waiting, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Jing Yu a few times. Jing Yu didn't know what she was looking at. Anyway, his agarwood was non-toxic and harmless, so his expression was particularly calm.

After a while, several imperial doctors returned to the dormitory again after inspecting the incense.

When Jing Yu saw the imperial doctor coming back, he immediately became energetic and listened carefully to the imperial doctor's reply in front of Empress Dowager Jiang.

"Back to Madam, these agarwood materials are all of good quality, but Madam has not used them yet. If you want to use them, please measure a small amount and give them a try."

After receiving the imperial doctor's approval, Jing Yu felt a stone fall in his heart, as if someone was backing him up. He couldn't help but snarled, and quickly added: "Grandma, don't worry! The quality of the agarwood from my grandson-in-law is of the highest quality.

It has been strictly controlled and guaranteed to give you peace of mind when using it!”

Queen Mother Jiang replied: "Just light incense in the palace!"

"okay!"

After getting the Queen Mother's permission, Jing Yu quickly lit the incense. If he asked him about emotional problems, it would be just to make things difficult for him, but if he studied these things, he immediately relaxed a lot.

After a while, Jing Yu lit the agarwood.

While he was lighting incense, Queen Mother Jiang came to the window, looked up at the sunshine outside, and sighed with emotion: "It's really getting warmer these days."

Jing Yu then said: "What a coincidence, Imperial Grandmother, Zhao Rong also likes to bask in the sun recently!"

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "This old bone of the Ai family needs to be exposed to the sun more, which will help to unblock all the meridians and replenish the yang energy. Zhaorong is afraid of the cold, so you should treat her more regularly."

"Okay! Don't worry, Grandma Huang, my grandson-in-law promises to take good care of Zhao Rong!"

Jing Yu is still very clear about this truth.

However, one thing made Jing Yu feel strange - didn't the Queen Mother ask him to burn incense? Now that the incense was burning, why did she run to the door to bask in the sun?

She said that basking in the sun was for her health, so Jing Yu could not call her back rashly, so he had to follow her instructions and burn incense in the palace. Empress Dowager Jiang did not say anything, and he did not dare to say anything rashly.

No one spoke in the hall, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Jing Yu only has one question in his mind now - what did Xu Ruyi do? Why isn't Xu Ruyi coming back?

At the same time, Xu Ruyi was there.

After seeing Empress Dowager Jiang getting angry, Xu Ruyi had to leave Jing Yu and go to Wenyuan Pavilion. If she said she was not worried about Jing Yu, it would be a lie, but this was the daily life of living in a deep palace, and it was very tiring.

Not long after, Xu Ruyi brought Aunt Chang and Su Deyi to Wenyuan Pavilion and told them which literati's calligraphy and paintings the eldest lady liked, and what the versions and differences of these calligraphy and paintings were.

Su Deyi kept nodding, and Aunt Chang also took a piece of paper and wrote it down.

This Wenyuan Pavilion has three floors. On weekdays, not only people from the Queen Mother, but also officials and concubines come here. The Great Zhou Dynasty worships literature, so there are often maids and eunuchs coming in and out of Wenyuan Pavilion.

After Xu Ruyi took Aunt Chang and Su Deyi to the places on the second and third floors where the Queen Mother's commonly used books were placed, she took them to the first floor. Compared to the more quiet second and third floors, the first floor was quite quiet.

There's more hustle and bustle.

Perhaps she was disturbed by the noisy sounds on the first floor, and the uneasiness in Xu Ruyi's heart became even stronger. She wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible.

She had an ominous premonition in her heart. She didn't know whether this feeling was because she was worried about Jing Yu's situation, or...

"Sister Zhaorong!"

Suddenly, a soft call brought her thoughts back to reality.

The voice was so familiar that Xu Ruyi was startled after hearing it.

She then followed the sound and saw a man standing in front of her.

"Master Lin?"

This person is really Lin Chengqing!

After Lin Chengqing saw Xu Ruyi, he quickly walked towards her.

But the person Xu Ruyi doesn't want to see the most right now is him.

She still remembered that after the Queen Mother was killed in her previous life, she surrendered, hoping that her husband would leave her a way to survive because of their past friendship, but he cruelly burned her alive on the tower for three days and three nights, using her

Order to show loyalty to the officials who regained real power.

Xu Ruyi is not sentimental. She knows the cruelty of the battle in the court. The moment the Queen Mother fell, she completely lost her power and was at the mercy of others.

But now that she is back, she must settle this account.

She just didn't expect that Lin Chengqing could appear in front of her!

She then asked: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to Xiangzhou?"

With a hint of melancholy in Lin Chengqing's eyes, he replied: "Yes, the mastermind of the exam fraud case fled back to his hometown in Xiangzhou. The court originally planned to go to Xiangzhou to arrest people, but found that there had been more than one fraud incident in Xiangzhou.

Only then did my uncle order me, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to review the test papers of last year's provincial examination. I thought this trip would take three to five months, but unexpectedly, just one month after I arrived, I heard the news of your marriage. I immediately hurried back.

I rushed, but it was still a step too late and I couldn't catch up with your wedding banquet."

Xu Ruyi sneered: "Although you failed to make it to the wedding banquet, your Imperial Academy students did. Not only did they attend the wedding banquet for you, they also made a lot of nonsense at the wedding banquet. The scene at that time was really spectacular. You will not

It’s such a pity to see it with your own eyes.”
