"Imperial brother, sister-in-law." When Yun Xi hugged Xu Miaojin to the dining hall, Yun Zhi was already waiting inside. She saw the two of them walk in and hurriedly say hello.

"Yun Zhi, you were already here waiting before the food was served, right? It's like being reincarnated with a starving ghost. Yun Xi smiled.

Yun Zhi knew that he was joking, and she was not annoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang once said that my sister thinks it is very good, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Since my sister can't open the valley, of course she can't help but be active in eating. ”

"You, there's always something to say." Yun Xi sat beside her with a smile, turned his head to Wang Gong and said, "The dishes are already ready?" ”

"It's all on board."

"Then you step down, you don't have to wait here. You have followed me from Yiwu to Ganzhou City in the past few days, and you have worked hard, so go and rest. Until tomorrow morning, you will not be required to serve. Yun Xi said to Wang Gong.

"The slave thanks the grace of the official family. But the minions are not tired, and they can still serve the emperor. Wang Gong said immediately.

"Well, I know your heart, but it really doesn't have to be. Go down and rest. Seeing that Wang Gong was about to say something more, he said in an accentuated tone: "This is my will. ”

"Yes, official, the slave will step down." When Wang Gong heard Yun Xi say this, he hurriedly bowed and bowed and retreated.

"Husband, are you trying to let him go back to Beijing?" Xu Miaojin asked softly.

"Hmm." Yun Xi said, "I decided to summon him back to the palace. There are more and more things in the palace, Wang Xi's ability is limited, and now he can't control it, so I can only find someone else to take charge of some things. And among these eunuchs, they are the only ones I can use. As for the mistakes made before, who can be without fault if a person is not a sage? Just let it pass. ”

Five years ago, in the first year of Jianye, Xi Yao exposed that three of the four eunuchs he trusted most at that time were involved in corruption, Yun Xi was very angry at the time, and finally decided to deprive Wang Jin and Wang Bu of their errands and expel Wang Gong from the palace. But five years later, Yoon-hee decided to reactivate them.

After five years of experience, he has become more and more mature, and he knows more clearly the purpose of his reign: to maintain his rule, and to reform the Ming Dynasty under the premise of maintaining his rule. What the ministers do is tolerable as long as it does not run counter to his two purposes. Therefore, the small corruption case that made him angry five years ago is still unacceptable five years later, but it has been able to deal with it calmly, and can choose the lesser of two evils and reactivate Wang Gong and them.

"My husband is really as wide as the sea." Xu Miaojin said with a smile.

Yun Xi smiled, and was about to speak, when Yun Zhi said: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, let's talk about anything after eating." At the moment of food, how can you be distracted by other things. ”

"Brother didn't delay your meal, you eat first, don't worry about me."

"How's that going to work! The royal brother doesn't move the chopsticks, how can the younger sister move the chopsticks first! Yun Zhi's eyes widened and she said.

"Okay, good, brother Huang moves chopsticks." Yun Xi smiled and picked up his chopsticks, picked up some vegetables and began to eat. Seeing Yun Xi move, Yun Zhi let out a small cheer and immediately started eating.

Yun Zhi devoted herself wholeheartedly to eating, but Yun Xi and Xu Miaojin were not as anxious as him, chatting while eating.

"Husband, what else will happen in the next few days?" Xu Miaojin took a bite of food for him and asked.

"I haven't had much going on these days." Yun Xi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's only the beginning of September, and it's only three months before you return to the capital in the middle of the month." There is a horse-drawn carriage from Ganzhou City to Xi'an, and you can take the waterway from Xi'an to the capital, so there is no need to worry. Miaojin, what do you ask for? ”

"The concubine wants her husband to accompany her to go shopping." Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes and said, "Before this, the concubine had only been to Fengyang twice, but there was no scenery all the way from the capital to Fengyang, and it was not good-looking. This time I came to the northwest, and on the way back to the capital, I passed through many places, and the concubine wanted to have a good time. ”

"If the husband is fine, can you play with Miaojin?"

"Good, good." Yun Xi said dotingly.

He turned his head to Yun Zhi again: "Yun Zhi, do you want to play together?" ”

Before Yun Zhi could answer, a little eunuch walked in, bowed his head and whispered something in Yun Xi's ear. Yun Xi frowned, lowered his head and thought about it.

At this time, Xu Miaojin suddenly stood up and walked to Yun Zhi's side and whispered to her. Yun Zhi's face immediately turned red when she heard her words, and she said something like a mosquito. Xu Miaojin persuaded her, and Yun Zhi's face became redder and redder, but she nodded. Xu Miaojin smiled again and said something, and returned to his seat.

At this time, Yun Xi had already finished thinking about it, and said a word to the eunuch, and the eunuch agreed, bowed and retreated. Yun Xi turned his head and smiled at Xu Miaojin and Yun Zhi, "What did your sister-in-law say just now?" He didn't hear the voice, nor did he see the expressions of the two of them, but he always knew that Xu Miaojin leaned over to speak.

"It's nothing, if your daughter's private room is private, don't ask more." Xu Miaojin changed the topic: "Xiao Mingzi suddenly came in, is there any major event that the husband should punish?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Yun Xi said: "Princess Qin Tang will be able to go to Ganzhou City tomorrow, but many houses in King Su's Mansion have been destroyed because of the previous battle, and now there are no vacant houses of sufficient specifications. ”

The husband then decided to let Wang Gong and them vacate two rooms. Yun Zhi, you can live in the house vacated by Wang Gong. It's not appropriate for the Tang family to live in the house that the person just lived in. ”

"Is it not suitable for sister-in-law Qin, but it is suitable for my sister to live?" Yun Zhi pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Huang, you can't favor one over the other. ”

"Yun Zhi, you are your brother's own sister, and Tang is your brother's uncle and sister, you are naturally closer to your brother, and this kind of thing can only wronged you." Yun Xi also changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Shicai asked you if you want to play together, are you willing to play with your brother?" ”

Yun Zhi originally wanted to ask again, and their brother and sister didn't laugh once or twice every day; But when she heard Yun Xi's question, her face suddenly turned slightly red, and she paused and said, "Brother, my sister won't disturb the two-person world of your husband and wife, and my sister will go to play alone." ”

Yun Xi was about to speak, Xu Miaojin suddenly rushed and said, "Husband, Sister Yunzhi doesn't need you to play with me now." ”

"This is, Mo Fei," Yun Xi listened to Xu Miaojin's words, suddenly understood the implication, and said with wide eyes: "Yun Zhi, you? ”

"My husband guessed right." Xu Miaojin leaned into his ear and whispered, "Yunzhi has someone she likes." ”

"Who is it?" Yoon-hee asked. At the same time, his brain spun rapidly: "Xu Miaojin told me at this time that he must have only started to like it along the way, and he must be the person he can see on this road." Yun Zhi didn't have much contact with along the way, could it be the guards of King Su's Mansion? ’

He was thinking about it, Xu Miaojin had already revealed the answer: "Husband, it is your imperial guard, the leader who is responsible for protecting the concubine and Yunzhi's sister along the way, Zhang Wuji." ”

"He? How could it be him? Yun Xi said in disbelief.

"Husband, the concubine remembers that after Guard Zhang came to the capital, he was a guard in front of the palace; After the concubine entered the palace, she saw that Yunzhi's sister liked martial arts, and often pestered the guards to practice martial arts, including Zhang Guard. They have known each other ever since. ”

"Because of Zhang Guard's strong martial arts, Sister Yunzhi has been in contact with him for a long time, and they are not only familiar with each other, but also familiar with each other. This time when I came to the northwest, Zhang was in charge of escorting, and contact was indispensable along the way. ”

"And the recent danger of Ganzhou City, when the bandits besieged the Su Wangfu, Yunzhi's sister was surrounded by the bandits and almost captured, and it was Zhang Guards who rescued her. When the concubine asked Sister Yunzhi, although her words were not clear, in the previous contact, Sister Yunzhi had already had a good impression of Zhang Guard; waited until the final rescue to make her finally understand her mind. ”

In Xu Miaojin's opinion, their relationship is very logical. They have known each other for at least five years, and they usually have a lot of contact, and finally there is this incident, which can be said to be a matter of course. 'Yun Lan hadn't seen Yang Feng a few times at the beginning, didn't she like him too? ’

Listening to Xu Miaojin's words, Yun Xi's mind suddenly appeared that he met Zhang Wuji for the first time six years ago, and it was also the first time Yun Zhi saw Zhang Wuji. At that time, he was very surprised that there was really a person named Zhang Wuji in Wudang Mountain, and looked at him very carefully, and Yun Zhi, who was only nine years old at the time, came to his side and coughed softly a few times, relieving Zhang Wuji's embarrassment.

'Could it be that there is a definite number in the dark?' Yun Xi couldn't help but become superstitious.

He raised his head to look at Yun Zhi, and when he saw that she didn't look at him, he said, "Yun Zhi, what your sister-in-law said just now, but it's true?" He already believed it in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"Hmm." Yun Zhi agreed softly.

"What do you say? The brother didn't hear it. Yunxi asked.

"Yes."

"What did you say?" He still couldn't hear it.

"Brother Huang, I said, my sister likes Zhang Wuji!" Yun Zhi turned her head and said loudly to Yun Xi.

After saying this, she seemed to be out of the way, and continued to say loudly: "Brother Huang, my sister likes Zhang Wuji, whether you agree or not, my sister likes him. If the royal brother doesn't want his sister to marry him, his sister won't marry! ”

Yun Zhi's words made Yun Xi stunned, he didn't expect her to talk like this. But then he burst out laughing, leaning back and forth.

Yun Zhi finally mustered up the courage to say this, and when she saw Yun Xi's reaction like this, she was immediately annoyed and angry, and shook Yun Xi's body vigorously: "Brother Huang, you speak, don't play with my sister like this!" ”

Yun Xi laughed for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her and let her sit in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Wuji hasn't married a wife now, how can my brother not agree?" ”

"Then why did you react like that?" Yun Zhi asked.

"It's not because your words are so funny."

"What's funny?"

"It's funny everywhere, you see, Miaojin is also laughing so happily." Yun Xi pointed to Xu Miaojin, who was also holding his stomach and laughing.

"Sister-in-law, don't laugh." Yun Zhi's face turned even redder and said loudly.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, sister-in-law doesn't laugh." Xu Miaojin said busily.

Yun Zhi was better, but her face was still red.

"Yun Zhi, if you are willing to marry Zhang Wuji, my brother will definitely not stop you. But there is one thing that my brother wants to ask you if you know: You like Zhang Wuji, can Zhang Wuji like you? ”

"Yun Zhi, if you marry him, it's a lifetime thing. A lifetime is a long time, more than you can imagine now. You like him now, and he covets your looks and will not dislike you, and the husband and wife are in harmony; But what when you are old and do not have such a beautiful face? ”

"You are the princess of Daming, he will not dare to divorce you in any way, nor will he dare to be disrespectful to you in the slightest, but if he rejects you at that time, he can avoid you, and you will not speak ill of him to your brother for the sake of your children. What would you do if that happened? Yun Xi said seriously.

Yun Zhi was only three years old when he just passed through, and they were more like father and daughter than brother and sister, and Yun Xi's mood at this time was similar to marrying a daughter, and he raised a question that he didn't ask when he married Yun Lan.

Hearing his words, Yun Zhi still blushed and shrunk her head at first, but her expression became serious when she heard it. After Yun Xi finished speaking, she also said seriously: "Brother, my sister thinks that he also has a good impression of his sister, but he probably never thought of being able to be a princess, so I don't know if he likes herself." If you know that you can still be a princess, you will like your sister. ”

"As for getting old, my sister has never been old, so I don't know. But if another person is chosen, is it impossible for the royal brother to guess? Instead of marrying someone you never liked, you should marry someone you like, at least, you are happy when you are young, aren't you? ”

Yun Xi stared at Yun Zhi seriously, as if it was the first time she had seen her and had such a side. "You're right." He concluded.

"Husband, after seeing this, the concubine sent someone to ask all the people who were familiar with him, and everyone thought that his character was trustworthy and he cared for his family very much, and the woman would be happy if she married him." Xu Miaojin said hurriedly.

"That's it, since Yunzhi really likes him, my brother won't say much. In a few days, he decreed that he would be married. ”

Yun Xi said: "His status is lower, but fortunately, the merits of this battle of Ganzhou City have not yet been rewarded, I will discuss with Uncle Fourteen to give him more credit, at least give him a hereditary commander." It's barely worth it. Yang Feng was also married as a hereditary commander, and this time he went to the northwest to be crowned a knight. ”

"Officially, he can't be a guard anymore in the future. I think he is willing to be a civil official or a military general, if he is willing to be a military general, let him go to the martial arts hall for two years, he was only 14 years old when he first came to me, and he is only 20 years old this year, and he has not yet passed the age. If he is willing to be a civil official, it is unlikely that he will be able to take the imperial examination based on his appearance, so he will be sent to Guozijian to study. Yun Xi babbled a lot.

"Sister, thank you, Brother Huang." Yun Zhi knew that this was for her good, and said hurriedly.

"As long as you live comfortably in the future, let your brother's thoughts not be in vain."
