Ye Xiu Ming’s retirent was the latest hit news in the capital, no matter how much the emperor tried to stop him, it was useless. The mont the news was leaked out, Ye Manor’s door was filled with people that want to visit him, before he leaves. To be able to have people visiting when he is leaving the court, shows that he was soone respected not revered. The day Ye Xiu Ming left the capital, the emperor personal lead the entire court to bid farewell. People also soon realize that the direction in the court would soon change.
Fang Xiu Qing was transferred to the most important departnt leading the entire court. This also affected Ye Kang Le. Initially with the transfer of Fang Xiu Qing, the minister of finance’s position is open, and many thought that Ye Kang Le would be transferred there to replace, however the emperor did not do so, but instead send him to the outskirts. It really made people ponder.
Is the emperor taking this opportunity to suppress the Ye Family?
Ji Wu Jiu does not really bother how people thought of him, he was only afraid that Ye Zhen Zhen would think too much: “Zhen Zhen, believe ”
Ye Zhen Zhen was enjoying her yoghurt, and answered, “I know what you are doing”
“O?” Ji Wu Jiu got curious, “let hear”
“You want to push forward Fang Xiu Qing’s agenda, therefore you cannot have people acting as barriers. Don’t worry and go ahead with what you want to do, my family is really just my maternal family, and should not be too over powered, it is also ti to be humble. Although my dad was sent to the outskirts, it is not like he is not coming back. Futhermore to enter the inner court, I feel like my second brother is more suitable then my father”
Ji Wu Jiu felt really really good, right into his bones. No matter what he wants to do, she will know. She understands him.
So, he smiled and asks, “Why do you think so?”
Finishing her yoghurt, Ye Zhen Zhen slowly answered, “Your job is the emperor, of course you would know best on how to use people, there is no need for to interfere”, feeling like having another cup of yoghurt she calls for Su Feng.
“Stop eating” Ji Wu Jiu stops her, “if you eat too much, your stomach will ache again”
Su Feng knew the emperor will stop the empress, so she has never moved.
Ji Wu Jiu took out his handkerchief and helped Ye Zhen Zhen wipe her mouth, after that he smiled and said “Do tell , why is 2nd Brother Ye more suitable?”
“My father is an honest person, and very soft hearted, without his own thoughts. Although my 2nd brother looks like my father at first glance, but he knows himself very well, his behavior is exactly like my grandfather. Since young, he has always been like that, although eldest brother was the oldest, but he will revere my second brother and whenever there is a problem, 2nd brother would co out with ideas. Look at his effort on building the water damp, it certainly wasn’t an easy task”
Ji Wu Jiu nodded and smiled, “indeed, however, you seem to be the smarter one out of them”
Ye Zhen Zhen thickens her face and answered, “That is true, it’s just too bad that I am a woman. In my next life, I definitely want to reborn as a man, and have a good career”
“That should not happen, “ He held her hands, “If you beco a man, then what would happen to ?”
Ye Zhen Zhen laughed, “Then you be the woman, and marry ” She said while lifting up her hands and holding on the Ji Wu Jiu’s chin. ”Sure a pretty girl”
Before Ji Wu Jiu cold even reply the Mynah couldn’t take it anymore, “Aiya, So Embarassing!” Who knew from where did it learn all this from, to the point where it was using a very high pitch voice, if you close you eyes and listen, you would have thought that there were really soone flirting in broad daylight.
Ye Zhen Zhen and Ji Wu Jiu was speechless.
“But” Ye Zhen Zhen changed back to the original topic, “I think that Fang Xiu Qing’s actions this ti would be rather big, I don’t know what effect his changes will bring, but he will definitely be placed under the lilight”
From the past, it was always difficult to make changes. Though based on circumstances, this Ji Wu Jiu and Fang Xiu Qing pair should be able to co up with sothing that will change the entire court. Although these changes were highly anticipated, but it would not co easy.
Ji Wu Jiu knew what Ye Zhen Zhen ant, he nodded, “All in all I will treat him well”
Ye Zhen Zhen said, “Let us be clear first, how you want to treat Fang Xiu Qing that is between you and him, that Fang Zhao Yi, if she dares to play any tricks, I will not give any face”
He touches her forehead, “That is of course”
Su Feng entered the room, to change the incense fragrance. She places it into the incense pot and lit it up, and left the room.
Ye Zhen Zhen took a sniff, “Do you still rember this fragrance, we bought it from Liao Dong, called “You Suo Si” (Thinking about sothing)
Ji Wu Jiu followed and took a sniff, “How can I not rember, just that… I still think that this fragrance is rather familiar to ”
Ye Zhen Zhen said, “I found the reasons behind this na. During the Han Dynasty there was a poem called “ You Suo Si”. While she tries to recite the poem.
Ji Wu Jiu saw her struggling so he helped her instead, “
‘何用问遗君,双珠瑇瑁簪,用玉绍缭之。闻君有他心,拉杂摧烧之。摧烧之,当风扬其灰。从今以往,勿复相思,相思与君绝!鸡鸣狗吠,兄嫂当知之。妃呼豨!秋风肃肃晨风飔,东方须臾高知之
It’s this one right?”
“Correct, “ she nodded, “It speaks about how a lady was scolding the man who left her. This scent was also called “You Suo Si”, maybe the maker was also a lady that was left behind, and wanted to use this na to scold the man?
Ji Wu Jiu frowned, “This fragrance’s origin does not seem nice, stop using it”
“Why, it slls good”
“Only those who have been left will use, I am not a man that will abandon you, I am your lover” He smiled bending down wanting to kiss her.
Ye Zhen Zhen turned her face avoiding him, “Really Stupid is still here”
Ji Wu Jiu was not following her trail of thoughts, “Really… stupid?” (Zhen Ben)
“It” she pointed towards the mynah, “I gave him a na, using my last na too”
Ji Wu Jiu looked at the bird pitifully, “Why did you give it such a na?”
“I wanted to call him Really Black, I gave these two nas to Su Yue and the rest to choose, in the end they chose Really Stupid”
“There are really a group of astonishing people” Ji Wu Jiu praised, just a pity that they are following this type of master….
After so small talks, they decided to head to Ci Ning Palace to visit the empress dowager. The relationship between the son and mother has improved slightly, as the empress did not do anything recently and only stayed in her palace to pray. In her heart Ye Zhen Zhen knew this was just a fake scenery, but she also hopped that the empress dowager would really be good now.
It was a hot day, Ji Wu Jiu was regretting that he pulled Ye Zhen Zhen out, he was afraid that she might get ill. So he prepared so cold fruits, at their et up. Ye Zhen Zhen was looking at the both of them like watching a show, seeing them exchange their blows of filial and care. Occasionally she will also play her part on being a good daughter in law.
Ji Wu Jiu was really happy that his wife was so capable. Capable of using all types of weapons except the sewing needle, she is really good at all aspects.
Ye Zhen Zhen was sweating under the sun, so Su Feng took out a handkerchief for her to wipe her sweat. The empress dowager said unhappily, “Such a servant!, how dare you let your master use a used handkerchief by you?”
Su Feng imdiately replied, “Replying to your majesty, This handkerchief is not used, that was a new handkerchief that was dried after subrging in mint water, using that to wipe away sweat will feel very comfortable. I have brought a few with , afraid that master will sweat.”
After hearing the explanation, the empress dowager’s beca more calm and nodded, “It is indeed rather warm here, you must have suffered”, and then looking back at Su Feng, “Indeed a very good servant,” turning to Ji Wu Jiu, “if according , although there are many servants around but to be able to find soone that knows how to treat their master well, and is loyal, would really be hard. Don’t you agree?”
Ji Wu Jiu nodded, “What you said is correct, mother”
Ye Zhen Zhen beca alert the mont she heard those words, the empress dowager would not suddenly bring up this type of matter, was she really just looking for conversation topics?
Sighing she continued, “I know these years you have not many people beside you, still thinking about the capable person from the old tis, this mother who care about her son, has decided to find a good servant for you. I am sure you will like her the mont you see her” she said while raising her head towards the maid servant beside her, “bring her”
Ye Zhen Zhen was speechless, the empress dowager was so broadly shoving soone to Ji Wu Jiu’s side? Was she not afraid that she will deal with the person later? What on earth is this old lady thinking?
In the anti, soone was walking towards them. Long and slim figure, wearing palace clothes, looking down, moving towards their place slowly.
Ye Zhen Zhen was curious, waited for her to get closer before saying, “raise up your head”
She lifted up her head but her eyes was still looking downwards. Ye Zhen Zhen gave a few glances to her face, although not a really pretty girl, but still considered above average. She was still trying to guess what the empress dowager was trying to do, if she really want to shove soone to Ji Wu Jiu’s bed, she should have chosen soone that could attract his eyes. If really just a servant, with Ji Wu Jiu’s caution towards her, it would not be very useful as well.
Ye Zhen Zhen looked at Ji Wu Jiu with a “I don’t understand what’s happening face”, to find out that he was looking at the person infront of him as though as he was struck by lightning. After a mont of daze, he finally slowly called out, “Xiang Ru?”
