Nothing is more blissful than waking up in the morning and seeing a beautiful girl as the first thing you see. If there is, it's because that beautiful girl isn't a casual fling, but the woman you love.
When Jing Zhe opened his eyes, Zhu Xinning was lying next to him, but she had already changed her clothes—no, Jing Zhe wasn't sure if she had taken them off last night, because he was asleep.
Good morning, my little sister!
"What?"
Zhu Xinning paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe, it's nothing, my sister just got up early!"
Zhu Xinning pouted, thinking to herself that if she slept with you, she would have to get up earlier, otherwise it would be so awkward if you kept hugging and touching her.
"It's getting late, you should get up too!"
"oh."
Jing Zhe agreed, then asked, "Second Sister, what time is it now?"
It's past the middle of the Mao hour (5-7 AM).
"It's still early!"
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and then said, "But it is indeed getting late for Second Sister. She still has to go to court. I can take a nap. Second Sister, you should go to court!"
I'm the big boss of the newspaper, I can go whenever I want, and besides, this time is really too early.
"Still sleeping? Get up now!"
As she spoke, Zhu Xinning forcefully dragged Jing Zhe, who was about to lie down, up, saying, "You have to go to court today too!"
"Forehead…"
Jing Zhe suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, I almost forgot if my second sister hadn't reminded me!"
He quickly got up as he spoke.
When Emperor An bestowed the Emperor's Sword upon Jing Zhe, he made a request that Jing Zhe take the sword to court every two days. Today happens to be the third day, so naturally he must go to court.
After getting dressed, carrying the Emperor's Sword, and eating a quick meal, he went out with Zhu Xinning.
As usual, the Prime Minister's carriage was already waiting outside the gate.
The two boarded the carriage and headed straight for the palace.
...
After getting off the carriage, the palace gate was right in front of me.
Zhu Tong's carriage slowly arrived, and Jing Zhe greeted him. The three of them prepared to enter the palace together. At this moment, more carriages arrived one after another. Zhu Tong glanced at them and said with a smile, "Nephew, don't come with us. Go with them!"
Zhu Xinning nodded to him and then left.
Yu Sheng and Hao Junguang got off the carriage one after the other. Perhaps because they had a pleasant conversation with Jing Zhe yesterday, they were particularly enthusiastic when they saw Jing Zhe.
"This humble official greets Grand Tutor Hao and Duke Yu!"
The two smiled, but each had their own thoughts.
Hao Junguang was thinking that he would eventually have to pull him into the civil service camp step by step—after all, his attitude of taking sides yesterday was too obvious!
He glanced at Yu Sheng, somewhat smug, thinking to himself, "You, a rough man, really think you can persuade him?"
Yu Sheng returned his smile with a mysterious smile. Since the other party was not Bai Qingyuan, he did not lash out, but he thought to himself: He will soon become my son-in-law, a family of military generals. What the hell are you smiling at me for?
Jing Zhe was unaware that the two were putting on a show of "smiling on the surface but cursing on the inside." Instead, he stared with interest at a carriage that was arriving late. Wu Xianyong slowly stepped down from the carriage with the help of a servant.
"Minister Wu suffered such a serious injury, yet he rushed to court after only a few days at home. He is truly a model of not leaving the front lines despite minor injuries! Such a role model is admirable!"
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he cupped his hands to the two men and said, "Duke Yu, Grand Tutor Hao, I will not go into the palace with you. I will go and help Minister Wu!"
It's over now that it's over.
Jing Zhe's tall figure walked towards Wu Xianyong. The two were still having a "friendly" conversation when Wu Xianyong seemed afraid of troubling Jing Zhe and waved his hands repeatedly. But Jing Zhe was undeterred and fully demonstrated his style of doing good deeds. Ignoring Wu Xianyong's "politeness," he directly grabbed him and put him on his arm...
"President Jing is so accomplished at such a young age, yet he is also so courteous. He truly deserves praise! No wonder he is so outstanding at such a young age. He does a really good job in respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"
Hao Junguang praised him, but Yu Sheng seemed to disagree, and he curled his lip.
Then he said with dissatisfaction, "What, does Duke Yu not agree with what I said? Are you dissatisfied with Chief Jing?"
"Satisfied? Why wouldn't I be? I couldn't be more satisfied!"
Yu Sheng waved his hand and quickly said.
Are you kidding me?
Am I not satisfied with him being my son-in-law?
"However, regarding respecting the elderly and caring for the young... I cannot agree with Grand Tutor Hao's opinion..."
"Um?"
Hao Junguang wanted to ask another question, but Yu Sheng ignored him and walked away, leaving Hao Junguang standing there watching Jing Zhe help Wu Xianyong walk quickly forward. Hao Junguang was a little dazed, shook his head, and thought to himself that this Duke Yu was unreliable and probably just talking nonsense!
Then he left too.
...
Once the two had entered the palace, Jing Zhe helped Wu Xianyong to their previous spot, though it was more of a dragging than a helping.
"Let go of me!"
Wu Xianyong said in a shrill voice. If he hadn't been worried about the bad image of being outside the palace gates, he would have already started yelling at the top of his lungs: "Do you think I know you that well? Who told you to touch me?"
"Oh, Minister Wu, don't be so polite! We're both officials in the same court, so it's only right that we help and care for each other! Helping you walk is no trouble at all! You don't even know how to be polite, you must think I'm not doing enough, right? Well then, let's walk faster!"
"..."
Wu Xianyong was so angry he wanted to curse.
Who the hell is being polite to you? Who the hell is embarrassed?
I simply don't want you to help me!
Pooh!
What you're doing isn't helping me at all! You're clearly trying to harm me! Can't you see how much pain I'm in? I'm enduring this agony to go to court, and you're still dragging me along. Are you afraid I'll die too slowly?
Wu Xianyong grew angrier the more he thought about it. He tried to pull himself out of Jing Zhe's grasp, but his injuries had not yet healed, and Jing Zhe was young and strong. He tried several times but could not succeed.
He said, panting heavily, "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, alright?"
Wu Xianyong finally showed some "politeness" and said, "Alright, I've been polite with you enough. Now, can you let go of me?"
To everyone's surprise, Jing Zhe waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Since Minister Wu has been so polite to me, if I don't help him to the end, wouldn't my polite words just now be a slap in the face?"
After saying this, Jing Zhe tightened his grip on Wu Xianyong's arm to reassure him. Seeing that more and more carriages were arriving for court behind him, he said, "The morning court session is about to begin. At this rate, Vice Minister Wu will definitely be late, and His Majesty will surely reprimand you!"
"But don't be afraid, Minister Wu, I'm here for you!"
After saying that, Jing Zhe exerted more force with his hands and walked even faster, dragging Wu Xianyong along while he cried out "Ouch!"
My eggs!
