1289, beauty
Xu Shu suddenly felt confused, and her heart sank, and nodded, "It's good to look good, but I don't wear these often, but jade is used to nourish jade. Good jade must be worn on her body frequently. If you put it on, you will ruin things!"
"Then you wear it, it's made by me!" Zhou Jin put it on Xu Shu with his own hands. The size was indeed just right, and Zhou Jin was very satisfied.
Xu Shu said with disgust, "No wonder she feels rough and unusual. I thought it was a craftsman who had poor skills. It turned out that you made it!"
"I dare to dislike the king of a country, so brave!" Zhou Jin pretended to be angry and leaned forward.
Xu Shu took the opportunity to hook Zhou Jin's neck, "I just dislike you. You really don't like your skills!"
Zhou Jin hugged Xu Shu and glanced at her delicate figure with ambiguous eyes, "Since my gift makes you unsatisfied, I have to make up for it!"
After saying that, he hugged Xu Shu and walked towards the bed. Xu Shu hooked Zhou Jin's neck and leaned against Zhou Jin's arms. He smelled the familiar aura on Zhou Jin's body and felt relieved inexplicably.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, Zhou Jin suddenly gave marriages to the Zheng family and the Fu family. The Fu family secretly colluded with the Deng family and had some plans. Logically speaking, the two families would inevitably be panic and eager to discuss countermeasures. However, the two families were unexpectedly calm and did not act abnormally. The Fu family even took the initiative to send Fu Xinyao's birth date to the Zheng family. It was very ostentatious on the way, and they wanted everyone to know that the emperor gave marriages to the Fu family and the Zheng family, looking very happy with this marriage.
Everything is normal but reveals that it is particularly abnormal. Before the storm comes, it is often extremely peaceful.
Zhou Jin handled political affairs longer and longer. At first, he just didn't come to Qifeng Palace to accompany Xu Shu for lunch. Later, Zhou Jin came back every night and got late every night. However, no matter how late, Zhou Jin would come back. Sometimes when Xu Shu woke up in the middle of the night, she found that there was no one by her side, and when it was dawn, she was lying in Zhou Jin's warm arms.
Xu Shu couldn't bear to see Zhou Jin being so tired, so she moved to Qiyuan Palace to live with Zhou Jin. Although it was against the rules to do so, no one raised any objections. Xu Shu felt even more that the situation in front of her was a bit subtle.
Following Zhou Jin every day, Xu Shu knew a lot of things in the court without realizing it. Although it seemed calm on the surface, the undercurrents in the secret never stopped. The Deng family and the Fu family had never stopped strengthening their power and used all means to use.
Miss Qiu Er, the adopted daughter of the Deng family, who failed to marry into the Fu family, finally married her nephew, the eldest son of the Xue family, under the arrangement of Mrs. Deng. Although the Xue family was not as good as before because of General Xue's death, she was a perfect match with the Qiu family.
Although he was beheaded because he was abandoned by the Deng family, now the Deng family is willing to help the Xue family, and the Xue family still accepts the marriage very gratefully. The Xue family also took the opportunity to benefit from General Xue's eldest daughter, Miss Xue, who was also one of the daughters of the aristocratic family whom she gave to the Qiao family, to marry the second son of the Qiao family.
The Qiao family is Mrs. Fu's mother's family and a distant relative of Donghai King. In this way, the Deng family and the Fu family can be considered a roundabout marriage, which further increases Xu Shu's uneasiness. The Deng family and the Fu family try every means to get involved, and the plan must be quite large!
After October, the weather became colder. Xu Shu was afraid of the cold and almost never left the house. However, she still couldn't help asking for news outside, fearing that something would happen. Although she knew that something really happened, she couldn't help. Not only could she not help, she would also drag Zhou Jin back...
In mid-October, King De, who was escorting food and grass to the East China Sea, came back and brought back the good news that King De of the East China Sea had successfully expelled the pirates. Therefore, King Donghai specially wrote a letter to thank Zhou Jin, and also asked King De to bring King De's thanks from King Donghai - two graceful beauties.
The beauties presented to King Donghai are different from those presented to the Southern Xinjiang war last year. The beauties presented to King Nanhai are all daughters of ordinary families selected from the people. Apart from being outstanding in appearance, they are also a good destination for them. However, the two beauties presented to King Donghai this time have great origins, one is the niece of King Donghai, and the other is the adopted daughter of King Donghai.
This is no longer as good as the beauty offered by southern Xinjiang, who can be rewarded at will, and people have been sent to the capital from thousands of miles away. Could it be possible to send it back? Zhou Jin's forehead was leaping, and he was very dissatisfied with the act of King De who brought the person back without first reporting. If it weren't for the hard work of King De's journey, he would have wanted to drive him out directly.
Little did they know that in King De’s opinion, the two women were not a big deal at all. They even thought that if these two women could win Zhou Jin’s favor and share their worries, he would have made a contribution to it. They felt complacent, so they praised the gentleness and beauty of these two Miss Qiao.
Zhou Jin said coldly with a stern face, "If King De likes you, how about I give you these two girls?"
King De was stunned and repeatedly cleared, "This is the beauty presented to the emperor by the King of Donghai. How dare I covet it!"
"King De has worked hard for this trip. I am worried that there is no suitable reward to you. It just so happens that King De has praised these two girls, so I will give them to you!"
Zhou Jin seemed to be talking about this matter very seriously, and there was no point in joking.
King De was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed immediately, "Your Majesty, I am old and I have no intention of misleading people's youth. Please take back my life!"
Zhou Jin waved his hand irritably, "Forget it, you should step down first. It's hard for this trip, so take a good rest for a while!"
"Thank you, my husband, I will leave!" King De hurriedly wiped his sweat and returned to Prince De's mansion.
Zhou Jin felt a headache when he thought of the two women sent by King Donghai. He really didn't know what to do! He couldn't take it back, and he couldn't take it back! First, he didn't have the thought of Hua Qianyue, and his whole heart was filled with Xu Shu and he could no longer tolerate others. Second, once he opened the gap to add to this kind of people, even if he put it aside and didn't look at it, the harem would be stuffed in various kinds of women under various excuses. Not only did he feel annoyed, but he also caused trouble to Xu Shu for nothing.
"Your Majesty, are those two beauties still waiting outside the hall? Have you seen me?" King De walked for a long time but still didn't see Zhou Jinxuan summoning the two beauties. Eunuch Xing'an couldn't help but come in and remind him tactfully.
Zhou Jin frowned, "I'm not available!"
"..." Eunuch Xing'an was stunned for a moment and said, "Then... the servant led them to pay tribute to the Queen?"
"Don't..." Zhou Jin hurriedly said something and stopped him. Looking at the confusing expression of Eunuch Xing'an, there was no further information.
