Chapter 290 I Really Owe You in My Previous Life
The sun rose higher and the summer heat came. Xia Hong stood up from the pavilion and headed towards the Golden Palace under the protection of Shen Jinmo.
"You have been busy with this matter these days, and it is really hard. Come back home early today. Eunuch Lin will deliver the imperial edict to the Xie Mansion later."
Not wanting to disappoint Shen Jinmo, Xia Hong didn't push him too hard.
Let's give the previous reward first. Xia Hong is not in a hurry to deal with other things at this time.
Shen Jinmo knelt on one knee, and the sweat on his face was stained with the joy of fulfilling his long-cherished wish because of Xia Hong's words. "I thank the emperor for his grace."
Xia Hong was also happy to see Shen Jinmo happy. After all, if he remembered the sweetness, he would be more courageous next time he did things.
"The Imperial Guard Department is different now than it was in the past. If you leave the Imperial Guard Department, what do you think about the successor?"
"I feel that Tian Ding has no background and is from a merchant family, so he is easy to control."
Xia Hong thought that Shen Jinmo would say a few words to persuade him, after all, the ministers in the court always liked to say high-sounding words.
But I never thought that this person would directly reveal his true colors.
It was this fearlessness that made Xia Hong feel refreshed.
"Haha, you really haven't changed at all."
Xia Hong laughed happily, and bestowed the new imperial favor again: "I will give the position of the general of the Imperial Guard directly to Tian Ding."
"The first order I issued was to have the Imperial Guards surround the Grand Tutor's Mansion. If any trouble occurs, I will not only punish Tian Ding, but also you, the person who recommended him."
Shen Jinmo started laughing as well. Not only did he not show any fear, but he continued to ask for a reward: "Since you have punished me, could you allow me to take Xie Nanxing out for a two-month trip?"
The folding fan in his hand hit the back of Shen Jinmo's hand: "Your grandmother and I have never gone out to play together, don't even think about it."
From grandmother to imperial concubine, and then from imperial concubine back to grandmother, Xia Hong's mentality had to change again.
He used to be eager to prove that Zhong Yuanyuan was his, but now that Xia Hong has no worries, no matter who Zhong Yuanyuan used to belong to, in the end she can only be his, Xia Hong's.
Even the history books of later generations would describe this king, who had his sister-in-law taken away, as a pitiful man whose beloved was taken away by his own brother, but who finally found happiness with his brother in love.
Shen Jinmo seemed to have not noticed this change at all, and continued: "How about you and the queen go out for some fun this year, and I will bring my husband to protect you two."
"Look at the way your husband is out of breath after running a few steps. Are you sure you don't want to travel with me for the sake of comfort and save some money by riding in a carriage?"
Shen Jinmo lowered his head and smiled: "Although I think so in my heart, please don't expose me and give me some face."
Xia Hong glared at Shen Jinmo and said, "I really owed you in my previous life. Get out of the palace right now and don't let me see you for the next few days."
"Then will you still take me and Xie Nanxing out for fun?"
Xia Hong took Eunuch Lin's whisk and threw it at Shen Jinmo: "Get out, get out, or I will lock you up in the palace for ten days or half a month."
"The minister obeys the order."
Shen Jinmo walked a few steps outside, then turned back and said, "Don't forget to let me take a ride when you go out for fun."
Just when Xia Hong was about to smash some more things, he saw Shen Jinmo running away even faster than the rabbit.
He smiled and shook his head: "Look at you, you are in your twenties, but you still act like a scoundrel in front of me."
Eunuch Lin looked at the wrinkles on Xia Hong's face and knew that Xia Hong was in a very good mood today: "Master, this is all because of your favor."
Xia Hong thought of Shen Jinmo when he first returned to the Divine Capital, thought of Shen Jinmo when he betrayed the Princess's Mansion, and thought of Shen Jinmo when he returned covered in blood after personally killing Xia Che and his wife.
A sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.
The Shen Jinmo of today was raised by Xia Hong, who held power in one hand and spent all his energy and effort in the other.
More unique than all his sons.
And in this world, only he, Xia Hong, can raise such a Shen Jinmo.
Returning to the Golden Palace from the Imperial Garden, Zhong Yuanyuan was lying in a rocking chair, quietly basking in the sun.
It is summer now and the sun is very hot near noon. Eunuch Lin is a little puzzled as to why Zhong Yuanyuan loves to bask in the sun so much.
When he was in Xianyun Palace, he would lie in the courtyard to bask in the sun whenever there was sunshine. Now that he is in this Golden Palace, there has been no change at all.
All the joy was tightly wrapped up by the iron wall the moment I saw Zhong Yuanyuan.
A hint of anxiety crept up to Xia Hong's eyebrows, and he asked, "Xiao Linzi, is Xia Ling still kneeling in the main hall?"
Eunuch Lin also restrained all his laxity and bowed to report: "Yes, since the Princess of Ling committed suicide, Prince Ling would kneel in the study of the Golden Palace until sunset every day after the morning court."
Regardless of whether there was anyone in the study, Xia Ling was kneeling.
Xia Hong had a plan in mind and waved to Eunuch Lin, who then left with his servants.
Walking lightly to Zhong Yuanyuan's side, Xia Hong brought a small stool from the back of the hall and sat down next to Zhong Yuanyuan.
Pretending to be panic and anxious is naturally for the purpose of gaining privileges and pity.
He tentatively placed his hand on the back of Zhong Yuanyuan's closed hand. Seeing that Zhong Yuanyuan did not resist, Xia Hong pressed his head on Zhong Yuanyuan's knees.
In his heart, he hoped that Zhong Yuanyuan could gently rub his head and calm his panic like she did when she comforted Xia Qi who had just lost a battle.
But Xia Hong failed to achieve his wish.
As the rocking chair stabilized, Zhong Yuanyuan moved the fan in her hand downwards, and the soft wind fell on Xia Hong's head.
It's not as good as caressing with hands, but it can also make Xia Hong feel a little happier.
"Sister-in-law, after I punish the corrupt officials in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War today, the Grand Tutor announced in front of all the civil and military officials that he would retire."
Xia Hong hoped that Zhong Yuanyuan would praise him for the wisdom of his action today, and also hoped that Zhong Yuanyuan would join him in scolding Wu Cixiu for being ungrateful.
If possible, Xia Hong also hopes that Zhong Yuanyuan can use this opportunity to raise more doubts about Xia Qi's past actions.
Xia Qi is not omnipotent, and Xia Qi also makes mistakes.
Xia Qi is not worthy of Zhong Yuanyuan.
In fact, most of Xia Hong's hopes for Zhong Yuanyuan were dashed.
Just like now, Zhong Yuanyuan didn't respond to his words at all, but just calmly concluded.
"The Emperor already has a solution in mind."
Xia Hong looked up at Zhong Yuanyuan: "I don't have it."
The calm eyes could reflect the true thoughts in everyone's heart. Xia Hong pressed his head on Zhong Yuanyuan's knees again.
"The Grand Tutor is accustomed to not listening to me. Can you, my eldest sister-in-law, persuade him for me?"
Xia Hong thought for a moment, and then said casually: "Wang Heng said that only the eldest sister-in-law can keep the master."
Zhong Yuanyuan didn't care who wanted to keep the Master. She made the decision in absolute calmness: "The Emperor knows I can't. The Emperor also knows that the Master wants to return to Zhongqing Mountain."
Zhong Yuanyuan couldn't keep Wu Cixiu.
Zhong Yuanyuan would not keep Wu Cixiu either.
They are all using their own ways to lead people in the darkness to the light.
