Chapter 40: Wife and Concubine Together (Part 2)
Ji Yinfeng waved his hand: "Hey—Brother Qiao is too humble. This time, I am able to escape from the trap. It is all because you have filled the holes that Ji Yinzhu dug in time.
Although we failed to expose the conspiracy of Ji Yinzhu and others, and failed to make any loss, we will have a long way to go.
With you all help, why should I worry about the big thing happening?"
After saying that, he picked up the teacup: "I will toast Brother Qiao with tea instead of wine. Thank you for your hard work to take care of the Shen clan."
Huan Ji was still polite, and Nie Chengyuan and others also raised the teacup.
"Brother Qiao is really righteous, I'll give you a cup."
Huan Ji quickly raised the teacup and said, "You are too Gao Qiao. Some things you don't expect, nor are you unwilling to do, but you are just unable to do because of your identity.
Qiao Mou was a commoner, so he naturally had fewer concerns, and the mere facts were not worth mentioning."
After drinking tea, Ji Yinfeng said again: "Brother Qiao is righteous, but I can't help but express my gratitude.
But Brother Qiao’s family has a huge amount of money, so this thank you gift is really a bit embarrassing."
Nie Chengyuan quickly gave Huan Ji a wink, then smiled and said, "There is no perfect thing in the world, and naturally there is no one who wants nothing.
Brother Qiao, don’t blame me for being straightforward. You are born in a wealthy and outstanding talent, but you will never be able to ask for the identity of a businessman.
If the prince can help recommend it, and let Brother Qiao have a half-time position, it would be considered as a proud and glorious ancestor."
Ji Yinfeng looked at Huan Ji: "Brother Qiao really has this intention?"
He has seen many people seeking official positions, so he doesn't find it strange to Nie Chengyuan's words.
But Mr. Qiao always felt that he was different from those who pursue fame and fortune.
Huan Ji hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I'm making you laugh. Qiao has always been used to being free and casual, but he really doesn't want to be bound by the official body.
Unfortunately, my father forced me to go to Beijing to seek a job with half a job.
The prince gave Qiao a position in front of his father. Even if he went to the palace gate to show His Majesty the gate, he could have given an explanation in front of his father."
Ji Yinzhu's mouth twitched.
Go to the gate of the palace to show His Majesty the gate?
Mr. Qiao really respects him!
All the people in charge of guarding the palace were imperial guards, and their salaries were not necessarily high, and their status was not necessarily noble, but they were directly under the jurisdiction and command of His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if he had eaten the courage of the bear heart and the leopard, he would not dare to stretch his hands so long.
Seeing that he did not agree, Huan Ji said a little embarrassedly: "It was Qiao who spoke nonsense, everything depends on the convenience of the prince.
Anyway, I'm still young, so it's no big deal to wait for a few more years."
How could Ji Yinfeng lose this face in front of his confidant friends?
He smiled and said, "Brother Qiao is so outstanding, he is really incompetent to go to the palace to watch the door.
Let me go back and arrange it, and I will definitely give Brother Qiao a satisfactory reply."
Knowing that he was most likely to be perfunctory, Huan Ji still expressed his gratitude with great joy.
Wine is a good wine, and play is also a good show. Everyone spent a very pleasant time in the Nie Family Garden.
On the carriage back home? Xin Zhi knelt behind Ji Yinfeng? Gently massage the acupuncture points on his head.
"The prince has drunk so much today, which shows that he is very happy."
Ji Yinfeng felt very comfortable? He closed his eyes and smiled, "I am naturally happy to be with my friends."
Xin Zhi pursed her lips and said tentatively: "Mr. Nie and the others have a relationship with the prince since childhood? Mr. Qiao has known you for a short time, so are you considered friends?"
Ji Yinfeng patted her hand: "Why did Azhi say stupid things today? The depth of friendship between people? It has nothing to do with the length of time we met.
As you say so? Ji Yinzhu and I grew up together since childhood. Is there a deep friendship?"
"Then..." Xin Zhi thought for a while and said, "Since the prince thinks that Mr. Qiao is capable and worthy of friendship, it is better to let him come to you to do things..."
"Hmm?" Ji Yinfeng opened his eyes and turned to look at Xin Zhi.
Xin Zhi's eyes were filled with panic? He hurriedly said, "I am beyond the rules? But... I am not trying to interfere with the prince's affairs, but I think Mr. Qiao is quite capable.
If he can share the worries of the prince, you can also relax and spend more time with me..."
How could this trick be hidden from Ji Yinfeng? He reached out to pinch Xin Zhi's chin: "Isn't lying a good habit? Especially women..."
Xin Zhi's tears rolled in her eyes and said softly: "Is I wrong? Please punish me for the prince."
"Silly words!" Ji Yinfeng's lips gently rubbed her cheek: "Did you take the benefits of Mr. Qiao and speak for him like this?"
Xin Zhi's face turned red? He hesitated: "Yes, he gave me a silver note..."
Ji Yinfeng let go of his hand? He chuckled and said, "You should keep the silver bills when he gives you? Azhi had worked hard in the past? He deserved some compensation."
"Criminal Master..." Xin Zhi threw herself into his arms, put her neck on her and said, "You are so good to treat me."
Ji Yinfeng patted her shoulders and back gently: "Don't worry, I have agreed to Mr. Qiao before to find a position for him.
But now the court is not peaceful and the behavior is not as convenient as before. I can only feel wronged that he will stay with me for the time being and make arrangements when the time is right."
"I thank you for your thanks to the prince." Xin Zhi smiled very happily.
"I'm talking stupidly again. If you want to thank me, Mr. Qiao should come to thank me by himself. What's wrong with you?"
"Anyway, I can't take money and do things in vain."
Ji Yinfeng was amused and burst into laughter.
Xin Zhi rolled her eyes very indecently.
You can't be too stupid or too smart; you can't show that you understand everything, and you can't understand nothing.
You should not only make him think that you are a greedy and shallow woman, but also be informed and tactful and understand his words.
I'm almost exhausted to make a living in front of these people with serious doubts, okay?
That night, Huan Ji received an invitation from Ji Yinfeng and invited him to visit Prince Kang's Mansion the next day.
The next day, Huan Ji got up early, carefully selected a set of clothes to put on, and went to Huan Yu with a smile.
"Brother, look at how we dressed?"
Huan Yu was having breakfast and couldn't help laughing: "You know you want to be a guest, and you don't know you think you are going to go on a blind date.
I remember the first time you went to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and you didn’t dress up so fancy?”
"What are you talking about?" Huan Ji sat opposite him, grabbed a bun and ate it.
Huan Yu smiled and said, "It's fine if the prince's concubine Shen, but it's just to repay your kindness.
Did Xin Zhi drink the ecstasy medicine you gave you and help you again and again?"
Huan Ji quickly swallowed the bun and argued: "You can't say this nonsense! Xin Zhi thought I was the one sent by His Majesty to meet her, so she was so obedient."
Huan Yu looked up at him: "You said all of these yourself, but I didn't say anything."
