Chapter 036
This belated person is Qin Zhou, the leader of the guards of Mingguang Palace.
He had previously taken leave of absence from the palace because his wife was ill. Now that his wife is fine, he can come back.
Of course he knew about Zheng Ji leaving the palace and opening a mansion, and made his choice.
Since Concubine Jiang had given her too much, he had no worries at all, so he wholeheartedly expressed his willingness to follow Princess Changding out of the palace.
For the sake of the money, let him go east and west, and there will be no complaints about this!
When he learned that Princess Changding had rewarded Changding rate with so much silver, he almost sighed: He could have just come back half a day earlier!
However, as long as it is related to silver coins, in his opinion, it must be a matter of going all out.
So, he rubbed his hands and asked expectantly: "Your Highness, are you considered a member of Chang Ding Rate? The reward of fifty taels, and an extra twenty taels of silver per month, also belongs to me."
?”
Zheng Ji did not speak, but looked at him with a smile, sighing in his heart: Qin Zhou is so young at this time.
Unlike other guard leaders, Qin Zhou was particularly handsome and had a deep dimple on his left cheek, making him look more than ten years younger than his actual age.
People who don't know, think that he is a civil servant with a pen. How could they imagine that he is actually a military attache with a sword?
Later, he became a famous Confucian general in the country and was nicknamed "General Xiu".
That's right, no one would have thought that the money-grubbing man in front of him would later become General Yunhui who guarded one side.
Not to mention other people, even Zheng Ji found it incredible.
Qin Zhou had been following her in his previous life, from Mingguang Palace to Princess Changding's Mansion. After she was sent to prison, even though he was implicated in her and lost his official position, he still tried every means to rescue her.
After she was rescued from the imperial edict by Fengju, he helped her out in many ways and experienced a near-death experience.
A casual sentence he often made was: "Since I have received so much money from the imperial concubine and empress, I must protect your highness."
Taking people's money and doing things for them is Qin Zhou's principle.
In Zheng Ji's view, being able to buy the following and loyalty of General Yunhui with silver taels should be the most cost-effective deal his mother-in-law ever made.
Feng Ju admired Qin Zhou very much and gave him advice and guidance from time to time. He was half a teacher to him.
Qin Zhou's ability to become General Yunhui was absolutely inseparable from Feng Ju's teachings.
However, that is all for the future.
Now Qin Zhou is just a money-grubbing guard leader, and he is still separated from the general of the Twenty-Fourth Squadron by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Qin Zhou was so stared at by her that he said dryly: "Your Highness, why don't I give up the fifty taels that I was given as a reward, and just give me an extra twenty taels?"
Zheng Ji pursed his lips, looking incomprehensible.
Qin Zhou gritted his teeth and reluctantly changed his words: "Your Highness, how about your subordinate only receive ten taels of silver every month?"
Seeing Zheng Ji, he still didn't speak. He said bitterly: "Five taels, Your Highness, we really cannot have any less! I have to treat my wife and have a large family to support!"
Zheng Ji laughed and said calmly: "This palace can reward you twice a month, with no less than twenty taels each time."
Twice? No less than twenty taels?
Qin Zhou took a deep breath and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately, he asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what extra do you need to do?"
Twelve hours to accompany him? But His Highness has already been protected for a long time. The guard force is enough. One more person is not more, and one less person is not less. There is no need for him to protect him.
That's another private matter, what is it?
Mostly it has something to do with Crown Prince Song, right? Do you want him to keep an eye on Crown Prince Song? Even if he is rewarded with forty taels every month, he has done it!
But His Highness smiled and looked him up and down...
Could it be that His Highness fell in love with his body and wanted him to serve her with sex?
It depends on how much money His Highness gives. If you give more, it is not impossible.
He is powerful and physically strong, and his price is at least twice as high as those of those waiters... no, ten times more!
After listening to his self-narration, Zheng Jishi couldn't help but laugh "haha".
She just likes this about Qin Zhou. He does things as soon as he gets the money, clearly marks the price, and everything is done according to the money.
Fortunately, she has nothing else for the time being and is really not short of money.
After laughing, she said: "I don't need you to protect me, and I don't need you to sell yourself. You just need to keep an eye on one person for me."
"Is there such a good thing?" Qin Zhou blurted out, it was simply unbelievable.
After the surprise, he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, you won't let your subordinates stare at the emperor, right? This is too difficult..."
He has already followed His Highness out of the palace, and it is already difficult to enter the palace.
Besides, there are Fengchen guards beside the emperor. It is impossible to keep an eye on the emperor!
He felt like his heart was bleeding. It seemed that he didn't have the ability to get these two monthly rewards.
"Don't worry, it's not my father." Zheng Ji said with a smile, "Go to Anlehou Mansion and help me keep an eye on a person. Keep an eye on what he does every day and who he meets. No matter how big or small, I will know everything."
It’s clear.”
Hearing this, Qin Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief, and he said, it must be related to Song Shizi!
The Crown Prince of Song has no martial arts skills, and the guards at the Anlehou Mansion are not very powerful. This is not difficult for him. It is really a good job that you can't find even with a lantern!
He immediately patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely keep a close eye on Crown Prince Song, no matter which girl he is with..."
"It's not Song Zan." Zheng Ji interrupted him to prevent him from getting confused.
"Huh?" Qin Zhou had the word "curious" written all over his face.
If it’s not the Crown Prince of Song, who else in the Anlehou Mansion is worthy of Your Highness’s attention?
"Anlehou Song Qiyan." Zheng Ji said lightly, the smile on his face had faded.
At this moment, Qin Zhou's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment.
Why should Your Highness pay attention to Song Qiyan, the Marquis of Anle? This is Your Highness’s future father-in-law. Isn’t this... inappropriate?
Song Qiyan, the Marquis of Anle, was said to be a rare handsome man when he was young. Qin Zhou's biggest impression of him was his beautiful beard.
Others, there is no more.
Although the Anlehou Mansion was a noble family, its family fortunes had fallen into decline, and Song Qiyan only held a fifth-rank official position in the court, so he was really not very conspicuous in Jingzhao where there were so many powerful people.
Only Song Zan, the prince of Anlehou, had the title of Yu Guangjun in Jingzhao. He was also a talented young man and was praised by everyone in Jingzhao.
When the emperor issued a decree granting marriage, many people sighed and secretly said, "What a pity."
In order to prevent the relatives from becoming too powerful, according to the regulations of the country, the highest official position for the prince-in-law could only be the fifth rank. Considering Song Zan's talents and abilities, his future career would definitely not be limited to the fifth rank.
Isn't this a pity?
