Chapter 1153: Chapter 1143: Betrothal Gifts (28)
Xie Jingchen thought Zhao Xu wanted him to help review a few dozen memorials, but when he returned to the room, he saw two bundles of memorials on the table, totaling over a hundred.
Xie Jingchen immediately felt a sharp headache.
He didn’t go out all afternoon.
By dinner, he had reviewed only half.
After dinner, while Su Jin and the Princess Consort were walking in the garden, Xie Jingchen continued reviewing memorials.
In the evening, Xingxing couldn’t bear it any longer and looked at Su Jin, saying, "Miss, why don’t you help the young master with some memorials?"
"I don’t know how," Su Jin replied.
But seeing a thick pile of memorials still on the table, Su Jin walked to the desk, picked up a memorial, and opened it.
She sat down on a small couch, and Xingxing moved the chessboard off the low table and brought over an ink brush, ink, paper, and ink slab.
Su Jin finished one memorial, and Xingxing brought another.
Xingxing went back and forth helping Su Jin and Xie Jingchen with the ink.
She noticed that Miss and the young master were almost equally fast in reviewing the memorials.
With Su Jin’s help, the memorials were finished around their usual bedtime.
Xie Jingchen rubbed his neck and looked at Su Jin.
Just in time to see Su Jin rolling her eyes at the memorial.
Xie Jingchen asked, "What’s wrong?"
Su Jin yawned and said, "I’m glad I wasn’t born a man. Otherwise, dealing with these memorials every day, I would sooner or later become a foolish ruler."
Xie Jingchen, "...."
Xie Jingchen felt that this wasn’t something he should hear but rather the Emperor and Marquis Dongxiang.
They were the ones who most wished Su Jin had been born a man.
Hearing Su Jin say that, Xie Jingchen felt all those memorials were worth reviewing.
Xie Jingchen glanced at the clock and said, "It’s getting late, time to sleep. Tomorrow we need to go worship the ancestral tombs of Donglin Prince Mansion."
Su Jin was also tired, and after a bath, she went to sleep.
The next day, before going to worship at the Donglin Prince Mansion, the Princess Consort went to the Zhao Family first.
At the time, thanks to Prime Minister Zhao’s foresight, he had early on relocated the ancestral tombs of Donglin Prince Mansion, avoiding the Emperor of Nanliang’s harm.
The Princess Consort went to express her gratitude.
Although she had already thanked Prime Minister Zhao yesterday, such a great favor deserved multiple thank-yous.
After staying at the Zhao Family for a short while, she went to the burial site of Donglin Prince Mansion to pay respects.
The Princess Consort knelt in front of the tomb and cried for a long time before being helped up by the Prince.
Xie Jingchen looked around and said, "This place is indeed secluded."
Yes.
Not only is it secluded, but it’s also a feng shui treasure land.
After Zhao Xu marched into the Capital, capturing the Emperor of Nanliang alive, the first thing he did was come to worship the ancestors of Donglin Prince Mansion.
This place is some distance from the Capital City, and was secretly moved here for his convenience in worshiping.
Relocating the tombs was a last resort back then, but now that he’s about to ascend the throne, he’s having people choose a feng shui treasure land and an auspicious day for relocating the tombs.
Zhao Xu found the Taoist recommended by Xie Jingchen.
Xie Jingchen promised that Taoist he would ensure his position in the Astronomical Bureau, and Zhao Xu has fulfilled that promise.
Not only the Astronomical Bureau but he oversees the entire Astronomical Bureau.
The Taoist, upon hearing that he needed to choose a feng shui treasure land, immediately laughed and said, "No need to choose now; the burial site of Donglin Prince Mansion is already a rare feng shui treasure land. Build the Imperial Mausoleum there, and it will be convenient for relocating the tombs."
Could Zhao Xu possibly not trust the Taoist recommended by Xie Jingchen?
Both the dates for ascending the throne and marrying were calculated by that Taoist.
Moreover, since the ancestral tombs of Donglin Prince Mansion are relocated there, it’s only fitting for a future Emperor to arise from those descendants, so how could the feng shui be poor?
It’s just that Zhao Xu hasn’t ascended the throne yet, so he hasn’t started building the Imperial Mausoleum.
After worshiping, the group returned to the Capital.
The Princess Consort entered the palace to meet Princess Consort Ling, while Su Jin took the Little Princess back to the palace.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she sneezed loudly, and tears almost came out.
Daqi, Imperial Palace.
The Emperor was so furious, he almost exploded.
Su Jin and Xie Jingchen followed behind the Prince and Princess Consort to Nanliang. Such a big matter, how could they not report to the Emperor?
The message was delayed a few days on the road and finally reached the Emperor.
The Emperor was so angry it affected his balance.
He yearned for their return to the Capital, and now they’re going to Nanliang first.
Could Nanliang be more important than this father?
It must be the Heir of Prince Zhenbei coaxing them!
Xie Jingchen, "...."
The Emperor was panting in anger.
Eunuch Fu wanted to advise but dared not.
It would be good if the Heir of Prince Zhenbei could manage the Heir’s wife.
Anyway, the Prince Consort is always the one to take the blame.
The Prince Consort has probably gotten used to it.
While the Emperor was angry, in the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Young Master Su was also angry.
The plan was after the Heir of Marquis Jingguo’s wife gave birth and had the one-month celebration, they’d return to the Capital, but day after day, he waited.
Not only did they not return from the border, but they went even farther.
Does sister know how much he misses his little nephew?
