"So, there must be a lot of secrets in his house." Jin Xin suddenly smiled when she thought of this.
Just missing a fuse, this thing can explode in the first place.
Gao Mingyao was too greedy and acted too frequently. He thought that he was the emperor's second-in-command and everyone had to respect him. I'm afraid that power is charming, so he thought no one would know about these things about him.
"You have people keep an eye on me more closely. If there is any movement, please come and inform me immediately."
Gu Zhao nodded in agreement.
Jin Xin glanced at his face and said, "Next time you meet the Seventh Princess, you don't have to be angry with her. You are a member of the royal family. Even if you are stronger, she won't dare to do anything to you."
Gu Zhao smiled helplessly and said, "After all, the Seventh Princess is the emperor's beloved sister. She is just a small guard. If she angers the emperor and lets her return to the city gate as an errand, she won't be able to help the empress."
Jin Xin was stunned, "So you are afraid that the emperor will demote you for the sake of the princess, so you hold back?"
Gu Zhao remained silent, but his attitude showed his acquiescence.
Jin Xin sighed, this matter was really troublesome. The seventh princess was rejected by Gu Zhao, and she already held a grudge. How could someone at the top care about the suffering of the people at the bottom?
We have to find a way to make the seventh princess feel at ease, otherwise she will always make things difficult for her and ruin her affairs.
Gu Zhao's ability to do things is undoubted, and he is very dedicated. If he loses these eyes in front of the emperor, it will be a great loss.
In this case, let the seventh princess stop making trouble.
The affairs of the small country of Fanbang have been discussed for several months, but no results have been achieved. The Chinese Empire has not sent troops. Some ministers have already proposed the matter of marriage.
There are only two unmarried princesses who have reached adulthood, the sixth princess and the seventh princess. The seventh princess has a good relationship with the emperor. If they want to get married, it must be the sixth princess.
However, Jin Xin felt that if the seventh princess would not suffer, she would be more suitable to go to Fanbang.
Later, she sent someone to invite the emperor to come over for dinner in the evening.
The emperor asked someone to reply and come over tonight.
Jin Xin asked people to prepare a sumptuous dinner, all of which were the emperor's favorite dishes.
The emperor took his seat, looked at the dishes on the table, and said with emotion, "These dishes remind me of how you personally prepared dinner for me when you were in the palace, and your cooking skills are very good."
Jin Xin smiled when she heard this, peeled the shrimp for him and put it on his plate, like an ordinary couple, she rolled her eyes and said, "The Emperor still remembers."
"Of course I remember that when you first entered the palace, you were young and young, and you were particularly dependent on me."
Jin Xin smiled, how could he understand that it was just a way for him to seek superiority.
She didn't know much, and she didn't have much. She could only impress him with these things, but he kept them in mind.
If you think about it carefully, it's obviously not a long time, only more than two years, but it seems like it's a previous life.
"Just leave the shrimp peeling to the servants, why should you get involved?" he said.
"Anyone can do these things, but I feel that when the emperor eats the shrimps I peeled, I feel happy." After saying that, she stood up and put the shrimps into his mouth.
He laughed when he heard this, loving her every time she confessed like this.
So many women were trying to please him, but they could never please him, but Jin Xin could always move her in the details.
Even though she was the concubine in charge of the harem, she was still willing to lower her stature for herself.
Although he is the emperor and has everything, he actually lacks someone who truly loves him. Even the Jade Concubine does not make him feel loved, but he also wants her to reciprocate the love he gives.
She was too stingy, and only Jin Xin won his heart.
"Is the emperor in a bad mood recently?" Jin Xin asked.
When the emperor heard this, he was a little annoyed when he thought about the affairs of the government. He looked at Jin Xin and asked, "Fan Bang, a small country, refused to surrender after being suppressed. Many courtiers had different opinions on this matter and said they would raise troops to crush it, but the treasury is currently empty. , with insufficient food and grass, how can we support such a protracted war?"
This is a political matter, and if the emperor wants to say it, he is tacitly agreeing that he can discuss it.
"Those civil servants naturally don't understand the hardships of border soldiers. They are in the capital, talking about war on paper, but they don't know how many soldiers will die for a decision, let alone the people who are implicated."
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "I first thought that you didn't study much and didn't understand this."
Jin Xin smiled bitterly, "I just didn't go to school, but I was able to read and write at home. I have read all the books left by my grandfather."
The emperor remembered that when she was in his study, she asked him about words he didn't know, and then smiled bitterly, but thinking about it, it was also very interesting.
"Then tell me, what do you think about this matter?" he asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Jin Xin stepped forward and knelt down, being supported by the emperor, and said, "I forgive you for not being guilty, it was just a casual chat."
Jin Xin then stood up and said, "Since we can't fight, wouldn't it be good to negotiate peace and make them surrender in the name of peace? When the treasury is full in the coming year, we can raise an army again?"
When the emperor heard this, he actually smiled, "You are right, I also have this idea."
However, those old ministers were really stubborn. On the grounds of the country's integrity, they united with other ministers and insisted on sending people to conquer the foreign countries.
To put it lightly, if there is a war and there are countless casualties, the people will only suffer, but they will only be upset about the wrong decision and will not lose anything.
Jin Xin's words made the emperor firm up his mind.
"Now that the two princesses in the court are unmarried, which one do you think is more suitable for marriage?"
"I am not allowed to speak, but when it comes to the sincerity of the marriage, the Seventh Princess is highly regarded and is more intelligent, so the marriage is the most suitable candidate. However, the Sixth Princess is older, so it is just right for her to go, but in the end it is the Emperor's decision. it's the best."
After saying these words, the appearance of the seventh princess appeared in the emperor's mind. She was indeed smarter, but she was still a little reluctant to give up.
But for the prosperity and peace of the Celestial Empire, it is inevitable to sacrifice some people. It is her mission as a princess to dedicate herself to the marriage of the Celestial Dynasty, so she should compensate Princess Chen more.
Jin Xin continued to pick up food for him and checked his face. Fortunately, there was no other reaction, and she felt relieved.
Then, early in the morning, the emperor issued an imperial edict for the seventh princess and her relatives.
Jin Xin didn't know what the excitement was like in the previous dynasty, but when Gu Zhao learned the news, it was Concubine De who lobbied the emperor. His heart immediately stirred up, and he came to Cheng'en Palace happily.
But when he walked outside the palace and looked at the palace gate, he stopped again.
He was grateful to his mother-in-law and hoped that she would live well. Although he wanted to get closer to her, he had to remind himself rationally not to mess up.
She will remain the emperor's concubine for the rest of her life, and nothing will change.
And he was just a guard serving others. Even if he wanted to get closer, he had to force himself to let go.
"Empress, I am so grateful for this humble position. I will repay you with my life in this life." He warned himself seriously.
