The women of the Wei family saw this and felt deeply aggrieved.
However, the Queen Mother was frightened. If he immediately stood up to claim the credit, not only would he not get any results, but he would also be hated by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother only cares about her own life and not about others.
After returning to the tent, the imperial physician came to treat him and the servant reported to the Chief Minister of Wei.
"Are you saying Jiang Yuzhu is vying for credit?"
Prime Minister Wei touched his chin, not surprised at all.
The Jiang family takes advantage of every opportunity and has a long history of family learning. Otherwise, how could Jiang Fulu have climbed to such a high position? Wasn't it all thanks to his eloquence, his constant vying for credit and flattery of the emperor?
"Master, please make the decision for the young lady."
Shuxiang stepped forward and knelt, saying, "The young lady had a chance to escape, but she risked everything for her marriage. If anything goes wrong..."
Wei Jing loves Xie Zhao so deeply that she is willing to sacrifice her life for him.
In front of the empress dowager, she said everything she should and shouldn't say. What if Wei Jing couldn't marry into the Xie family and her reputation was ruined?
The young ladies from official families who usually interact with him talk about him behind his back and are sarcastic to his face.
Chief Minister Wei did not express his opinion immediately, but said: "Shuxiang, you get up first."
Xie Zhao was his most proud disciple. If he wanted to facilitate their marriage, he would have to put aside his old pride and rely on his seniority to personally ask the emperor for help.
Prime Minister Wei was in a difficult situation. In fact, with Wei Jing's background, she was qualified to be the queen.
After much deliberation, Wei Shoufu went to see the emperor that night and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, my daughter is too stubborn. As her father, I am helpless!"
After hearing this, Xiao She turned to persuade Xie Zhao, saying, "Yuanhe, it's still okay for Miss Wei to marry you. Otherwise, it will ruin her reputation and it won't be acceptable to Prime Minister Wei. Besides, Miss Wei is your junior sister. Don't you think you should give an explanation to your mentor?"
Xie Zhao refused coldly: "I don't think so."
If he had this idea, he would definitely agree happily, but the problem is that Xie Zhao didn't.
Jiang Yuzhu is enough for the harem. If there are too many women, it will be chaotic and difficult to manage due to jealousy.
"I have already given all my small treasury to Yuzhu, and I have no money to support outsiders."
Xie Zhao's words were concise and to the point. Unless the emperor ignored the relationship between them and forced him to agree, Xie Zhao would refuse very firmly.
Xiao She's eyelids twitched, and he pressed his eyelids and said, "People who don't know the inside story might think that you are a man of integrity and only love Jiang Yuzhu."
Such a promising man was ultimately delayed by an erroneous arranged marriage.
Xiao She sighed a few times, but Xie Zhao refuted it in a rare way: "There was no delay."
Jiang Yuzhu is the woman who is most compatible with Xie Zhao in his heart, and she is not as bad as outsiders think.
Xiao She's eyes nearly popped out of his head, thinking there was something wrong with his ears at such a young age: "Yuan He, are you serious?"
Xie Zhao nodded firmly. "I've been like a slave to you, squeezed into working for you every night, dealing with government affairs by the lamplight. Only Yuzhu doesn't cry or make a fuss, and she even understands my hard work."
If it were any other woman, Xie Zhao couldn't guarantee that she would understand him.
Xiao She was speechless and suspected that Xie Zhao had been brainwashed by Jiang Yuzhu.
It was Xie Zhao who worked hard, while Jiang Yuzhu was content to enjoy herself and reap the benefits!
Xiao She did not point it out, but said: "Yuanhe, it's fine if you don't want to marry Miss Wei, but I must comfort Prime Minister Wei."
Xiao She had gotten himself into a big trouble, so Xie Zhao should at least compensate him a little.
Being an emperor may seem glorious, but in reality, the court is full of undercurrents, the power of the nobles is too great, and there are dark forces controlling things behind the scenes.
Xiao She survives in the cracks, walking on thin ice.
It’s hard to lead a team when people’s morale is low!
Xiao She kept complaining, and then he stole a glance at Xie Zhao, hinting clearly: "My hair is falling out more and more."
Xie Zhao heard it and deliberately said, "Yuzhu opened a shop selling hair growth liquid. It has a good reputation. Why don't you go and patronize it, Your Majesty?"
Xiao She: “…”
He even said that he was not poisoned by Jiang Yuzhu, and started to promote Jiang's shop to attract business for Jiang Yuzhu!
Xiao She didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "It's not impossible for me to help you turn down the marriage. I'll give you a human skin mask as a thank you gift."
Xie Zhao readily agreed: "Okay."
In order to make it easier to move around, Xie Zhao hid two human skin masks.
The master who made it is no longer alive, and the mask has become out of print.
In the past, Xiao She had shamelessly begged him several times, but Xie Zhao pretended not to understand and never responded.
This time, he spent a lot of money to avoid marrying Wei Jing.
Xiao She clapped his hands and laughed: "If you take money from others to help them get rid of disasters, then I will solve this problem for you!"
Early the next morning, the Empress Dowager held a banquet to calm the young ladies of the official families. Jiang Yuzhu was fortunate to sit next to the Empress Dowager.
Last night, upon learning that Wei Jing was injured, the Queen Mother sent Bicui to visit her and brought some medicinal herbs.
This morning, Wei Jing attended the event despite injuries, despite all obstacles, just to wait for the marriage proposal.
The Queen Mother glanced at Wei Jing's slightly pale face indifferently, feeling inexplicably unlucky.
Wei Jing, despite being ill, was wandering around in front of her, to remind her to remember the credit for saving the emperor? Compared to the silent Jiang Yuzhu, Wei Jing seemed too eager for quick success, and the queen mother's face darkened slightly.
As the banquet was coming to an end, the emperor arrived with a dozen officials to pay their respects.
"Mother, Miss Wei has done a great service in rescuing the emperor, and she deserves a generous reward. The Wei family has no shortage of gold and silver, so how about arranging a marriage for her?"
Xiao She took the initiative to mention it, and the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Wei Jing couldn't hide her ecstasy, and her pale face instantly turned red.
This morning, Daddy sent someone to tell her that she would definitely get what she wanted.
Wei Jing held her breath, waiting for the imperial decree granting the marriage.
"Mother, Miss Wei is the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, and she must not be wronged."
Xiao She looked around, trying to figure out who to trick.
The Queen Mother and the new Emperor's opinion coincided. She looked at Mrs. Jiang Chen and asked, "Is the second young master of the mansion still engaged?"
The young men from official families in the capital were either already married or had no achievements, so there were very few who were worthy of Wei Jing.
Chen was startled and could only mumble, "My son is useless and indeed has not yet been engaged."
Jiang Yuzhu, who had been watching the melons and not caring about anything, suddenly became nervous. The Queen Mother chose the second brother? No way!
Instead of cheating Jiang Huaiqing, it would be better to cheat Xie Zhao!
The Empress Dowager fully agreed with Chen's modesty.
Thinking of arranging a marriage for Wei Jing, the Queen Mother rarely said a few good words for Jiang Huaiqing: "Men are late bloomers. They will settle down after they get married and establish a career."
Since Xie Zhao rejected Wei Jing for Jiang Yuzhu, it seems reasonable to marry Wei Jing into the Jiang family to make up for it.
Xiao She echoed, "Mother, you have really good taste!"
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
What to do? Once the Queen Mother grants the marriage, it is impossible to break it up.
Wei Jing is a scheming and malicious person. If she marries into the Jiang family, she will have an extra troublemaker and will never be able to get rid of him.
Jiang Yuzhu was very nervous and pursed her lips to observe.
As long as the Queen Mother announced the marriage, she would stand up to help Xie Zhao get it.
At the very least, Wei Jing must be kept under our noses and within a controllable range.
"That……"
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the connection she had made.
