Shenhao: The little widow became the richest woman in Beijing

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be his memorial."

"Do you know him?" Zhou Xuanyin asked, turning his head.

"We've met several times." Bai Xueru looked at the contents of the memorial in Zhou Xuanyin's hand, smiled and briefly talked about how she met that person several times.

"He is quite interesting. He is stupid but likes to meddle in other people's business. He can't speak well of others, but he is an upright person. I think he will be a good official in the future." Bai Xueru said with approval in her eyes.

"I heard that he won the first prize in the examination. What official position did you arrange for him?"

Zhou Xuanyin put down the book and thought of the man in the court. Is he stupid? Why didn't you realize it? I never thought they would have such a past.

Good official? She was so complimentary, maybe she could examine that person more in the future. "The starting point for entering the Imperial Academy is not low."

Bai Xueru nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just paid back the man's meddling in his own business and wanted to help her.

Not long after, the palace people reported that General Wei had an audience with the Prime Minister's legitimate son. Bai Xueru raised her eyebrows slightly, "Big brother?" Just as he was about to get up and avoid it, he heard the man beside him say: "It's okay, just sit down."

Bai Xueru frowned, this is not good, who knows what they will say about state affairs. Wei Chixian walked into the house and saw Bai Xueru beside that person, with a slightly stunned expression on his face.

Will I have the identity of an uncle in the future? Holding a lot of power and being a relative of the emperor, this doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Bai Xueru was speechless. He really knew how to think, but he was indeed quite misunderstood here. He got up and went to sit by the window not far away. With my own hearing, I could hear the conversations of several people clearly from this short distance.

It turns out that Zhou Xuanyin's previous deal with Wei Chixian was that if he became emperor, he would never accept the military power of the Wei family from him.

The Wei family has 200,000 troops. No matter which emperor ascends the throne, he may be wary of it. The old general Wei returned to Beijing because Emperor Zhou Ming wanted to get back the military talisman. The reason why he withheld military pay was just to ask him to run the army if there was chaos in the army. Not strict, find a way to resign from his position,

The silver that Zhou Xuanyin borrowed from him was, on the one hand, really for the sake of the court, and on the other hand, it was a deal with Wei Chixian, proving that he would really think about the soldiers and the people, he would be a wise king, and he would also help the Wei family. This crisis was resolved and the future was promised.

Due to his declining health, Emperor Zhou Ming was afraid that the Wei family would be forced to rebel, and he did not have much energy to deal with it. Moreover, the money did not come from the national treasury or Emperor Zhou Ming's own private treasury, so he gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing the military symbols at this time. thoughts.

This matter can be said to be an advantage for Zhou Xuanyin. Bai Xueru curled her lips, it was his ability to take advantage of the time.

As for the Prime Minister, the reason why the second prince knew about the third prince's rebellion was because of that man's intentional act.

An hour later, Gu Yuhonglin walked out of the door, glanced at the woman by the window, and frowned slightly. He admired what she did as a woman, but he still didn't want her to be the queen.

For a sentimental emperor, the harem will be out of balance, and the harem of the previous dynasty is closely related. Even if she is given the title of female official, she will not object.

Bai Xueru glanced over there, this man had so many worries. After talking to Zhou Xuanyin, he got up and went out to see off Wei Chixian. If he returned to the military camp, he didn't know when he would see him again.

In the courtyard, Wei Chixian looked at the adopted sister who had worshiped him and said, "Thank you for the winter clothes you sent me earlier."

"To say thank you is just a heretic. Who makes you my eldest brother? I have said before that I don't have much else but a lot of money. I have so much money that I am not interested in it at all. It's quite nice that I can use it to do something for you. Put good things to good use.”

When used on soldiers, I feel that the money is worth spending.

Wei Chixian smiled, patted Bai Xueru's shoulder, and said with a bold and free voice, "Yes, I am your eldest brother, and you don't have to see me outside in the future."

But then he hesitated, as if he was wondering whether he should ask.

Bai Xueru spoke calmly to dispel his doubts, "I will not enter the palace."

"Why?"

"do not like."

Wei Chixian's eyes were deep in thought, and he did not continue to ask whether she didn't like the palace or people. He nodded and said, "I support you."

Regardless of whether she is the woman who worshiped him or his adopted sister, he has the responsibility to take care of her, and he should also be her backing.

In the evening, Bai Xueru followed Zhou Xuanyin and followed the red lanterns. They didn't know where they were going, but the scenery along the way was extremely beautiful. It was probably carefully decorated.

When a palace paused, Bai Xueru couldn't help but frown. Is this the Fengyi Palace yesterday? The palace was still full of joy, with red lanterns hanging all over the corridors.

The two walked into the room. The red candles were shining brightly, and the room was full of light. There were red curtains hanging beside the bed, and even the quilt was a red quilt. Although there were no red dates and longan, and there were no happy words on the window, the atmosphere was too subtle.

Bai Xueru's face was complicated. At this moment, she discovered that she and Zhou Xuanyin had red dragon patterns on their collars and other edges. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't worship, he would have thought it was time to enter the bridal chamber. What on earth was he going to do?

"You don't mean to say that you want to live with me for these three days, do you?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in Zhou Xuanyin's cold eyes, and he clenched his hands into fists and coughed, "No, I just prefer red."

Bai Xueru was speechless, her eyes filled with: Do you think I believe you?

Zhou Xuanyin avoided the woman's eyes. I just said: In this way, just treat her as married. The layout in his own bedroom is the same as here.

"It's not suitable for me to live here." Bai Xueru looked sideways at the man beside her.

"The entire palace belongs to me. I have the final say whether it is suitable or not."

Bai Xueru said in a helpless tone, "I don't like this place very much." She felt like a newlywed staying alone in an empty room.

Zhou Xuanyin looked deeply at the woman in front of him, "There are only two choices, either live here or live with me. It's your choice."

Bai Xueru walked to the table and sat down. She might as well stay here. How could she control herself with him?

Zhou Xuanyin felt complicated. She couldn't tell whether it was the joy that she agreed to live here or the disappointment that she didn't want to live with him.

He walked to the table and sat down, pouring a glass of wine for her and himself. Bai Xueru watched his movements quietly, picked up the wine glass,

The man paused for a moment, clinked the glass with himself and drank it all in one gulp.

Bai Xueru looked at the wine in the glass. He paused because he wanted to drink a cup of wine, but he knew that he didn't want to, so he didn't do that. He silently drank the wine in his hand as well.

"Do you still have the jade pendant I left for you?"

Bai Xueru nodded and took out the jade pendant from her arms. Thinking that he was the emperor now, she didn't know if the jade pendant would be useful, so she took it with her when she entered the palace this time.

Zhou Xuanyin looked at the jade pendant in the woman's arms with a small smile in his eyes. "In the future, let's be a gold medal for immunity from death. Since I owe you three lives, I can use them three times."

I know her too well. If this jade pendant is useless in the future, she will probably throw it away. In this case, I will find some value for it, so that she will carry her jade pendant with her no matter where she is, and occasionally think of herself.

She once stood in front of him and saved him, and she once trusted him with all her wealth.

The two of us had exchanged jade pendants, had just walked the road of marriage together, drank the Henan wine that was only drunk when getting married, and slept on the dragon and phoenix mandarin duck quilt together, how could it not be considered a marriage?

In fact, this jade pendant can also mobilize one's own private soldiers, and it is a token that one has worn for many years.

Bai Xueru lowered her eyes and looked at the jade pendant in her hand without saying anything. Strictly speaking, she had only saved his life once, and the three lives were just what she said deliberately at that time.

Moreover, he calls sleeping under the same quilt in two places?

Although the dragon and phoenix mandarin duck bedding used by the emperor was custom-made, that's not the case.

That night, Bai Xueru tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Thinking of Zhou Xuanyin's funny look of holding back his anger and suppressing depression when he was carrying water for her feet, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

Thinking of his deep voice: "What if I serve it to you?" He smiled again.

He stood up and glanced at the quilt on the bed, then silently walked to the window and looked out at the starry sky.
