Chapter 24: The Mysterious Token

"Jade Maiden, I don't know why Your Majesty is angry?"

Jiang Chen, who was driven out by the empress with a disgraced face, stood outside the imperial city with a confused face, asking the empress's personal maid Yulan, who took him out.

It doesn't make sense!

When he asked him how to make this kind of food before, the empress was still in a rather gentle state, why did she start to explode in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that the Venerable of the Martial Saint will also have those days?

Magnolia glanced at him stiffly and spoke cautiously.

"Jiang Gongzi, your matter in Yunhuai River yesterday was known to His Majesty. ”

What is the Yunhuai River?What is the Yunhuai River......

(a plant)!

Jiang Chen finally remembered what he had done last night.

"Hey......"

He let out a long sigh and subconsciously uttered a famous sentence.

"I just made the mistake that a man would make. ”

This wave is simply a break!

Unexpectedly, on the way to the start of the strongest son-in-law in history, he encountered such a big setback.

Fortunately, although the empress was angry, with Jiang Chen's rich experience, she could still judge from her actions that his path to becoming a son-in-law was not without room for turnaround!

Wait a minute?

Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong.

If the empress had known about it early on, why was her tone so normal at the beginning?

Extrapolating backwards, it is that the empress didn't know at first that after eating his food, her mood seemed to be good, but then she suddenly staged a Sichuan opera and changed her face, which is obviously someone told her a secret!

At that time, there seemed to be only three people in the study......

Yulan told him in such a tone that this matter was obviously not her secret, so the rest of the people were obviously ......

Jiang Chen looked at Yulan with questioning eyes.

Seeing his inquiring gaze, Yulan nodded lightly and spoke softly: "It was Your Majesty who was told by Admiral Chu." ”

Wow!

Sure enough, it was her!

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.

"Why is she so stunned that she can't get along with me? I wonder if I didn't provoke her?"

In the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since Ji Xianyue took the throne, the remaining eunuchs of the previous generations have been dismissed, and only some palace maids are left to serve people.

After all, martial arts are prevalent in this world, and the palace maids in the court, a little bit of martial arts classics, are no less than men in the prime of life in terms of strength and action, unlike the ancient court in Jiang Chen's previous life, eunuchs must do something.

But without the eunuchs who are in power and isolated from the outside world, there will naturally be people to make up for their ecological niche.

And in place of the position of the chief of Ouchi, it is obviously the head of Chu Qing, who is in charge of the defense of the nine gates of the imperial city and the personal guard of the empress...... Ano, Admiral Chu!

This Admiral Chu, does he want to make himself nine thousand years old, and enter the palace to compete with her for power and profit?

"There are rumors that Admiral Chu has the idea of grinding mirrors for His Majesty......"

Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, Yulan looked left and right and lowered her voice slightly.

"Jiang Gongzi, this is not a rumor. ”

Well?

Hearing Yulan's words, Jiang Chen frowned, and found that things were not simple.

His previous guess about Chu Qing was actually true?

This empress's personal figure is actually his rival in love?

All of a sudden, it became difficult......

"Thank you Jade Girl History, this hosta was bought by me when I was wandering around yesterday, it's not a valuable thing, and I ask Jade Girl Shi to accept it." ”

It is not appropriate to stand on the root of the imperial city for too long, Jiang Chen temporarily stopped his thoughts, took out a gift box from his cuffs, and smiled softly at Yulan.

Seeing that Yulan was about to speak, Jiang Chen directly sent the gift to her: "Don't refuse, a piece of heart." ”

"That'...... Then thank you Jiang Gongzi, I'll go back to my life first. ”

Yulan's face was flushed, and after putting away the gift, Jiang Chen was stunned, and she disappeared in front of him.

Seeing Magnolia disappear, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Fortunately, he still has the eyeliner of Magnolia! He is handsome, and he is still useful!

Hmph! Chu Qing, just wait! Today, I, Jiang Chen, am going to be angry and strong, and compare myself with you, who is the first manager next to the empress...... No, it's the number one celebrity!

Then, he glanced back at the palaces in the imperial city, sighed, and turned around and walked towards Wuyi Lane.

..................

Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley.

The residents in Wuyi Lane are either rich or expensive, and the place of residence is naturally not like the downtown in general, except for the occasional carriages and horses, only not far from the mouth of the alley, there is a pair of grandchildren, the grandfather is full of white hair, in good spirits, shaking his head and pulling the erhu in his hand, and occasionally there are passers-by who give a few rewards.

As for the granddaughter, she looks like she is only in her teens, she is very smart, she can see that she is a beauty embryo at a young age, she seems to be a little shy, and she has been hiding behind her grandfather until Jiang Chen walks by, and then flashes out from behind her grandfather, showing a sweet smile towards Jiang Chen.

No way, even in the eyes of a little girl, handsome people are also preferential.

"Brother Jiang Chen, hello!" the little girl's soft voice sounded very comfortable.

"The creek is good!"

Jiang Chen also showed a smile, took out a piece of dim sum from his cuff and handed it to the little girl, and then took out a small piece of broken silver and put it in the box in front of the old man.

"Jiang Gongzi came back early today. ”

The old man also stopped the erhu in his hand, and smiled and talked to Jiang Chen about homework.

In the past few days, Jiang Chen and these two have become quite familiar.

"There is something temporary today, but Mr. Li came out on time. ”

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly.

Normally, he would stay in the imperial city until the evening, and only leave after opening the work, but today he was kicked out.

The old man has lived for so many years, and he will not know how to observe words and looks, and when he saw Jiang Chen's expression, he immediately snorted and talked about other things.

..................

"Brother Jiang Chen, goodbye!"

"Jiang Gongzi go slowly!"

"Haha, goodbye Xiaoxi, goodbye Old Man Li!"

After chatting with Old Man Li and the little girl Xiaoxi for a while, Jiang Chen's depressed mood eased slightly and returned to his mansion.

After waving his hand to let the people who came up to do their own thing, Jiang Chen flipped his hand and took out the dark gold token that was thrown by the empress from the imperial study from his cuff.

"What is this?"

Jiang Chen carefully looked at the token in his hand.

The token is dark gold, I don't know what metal is used, on the front, it is a different from the current general text in Zhongzhou, the very ancient word "Ji", and on the back, it is carved out of a majestic mountain, on the high mountain, there is a phoenix high-pitched and singing.

Just looking at this token, there is a faint majesty in the hearts of the people.

There is no need for any identification, as long as you see this token, anyone can understand that it is absolutely extremely valuable and significant.

The word "Ji" and the phoenix are connected together, there is no doubt that it symbolizes the royal family of the dynasty!

It was precisely because of this piece of token that Jiang Chen had wasted so much effort to pull out of the wall that made him understand that the empress was not as angry with him as he imagined.

However, more or less, there must still be some anger.

"Alas......"

Jiang Chen sighed, feeling that he had encountered the second biggest setback after crossing over.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to water the delicate flowers of the majority of girls in Zhongzhou, he fell into the grave of marriage in advance, and he had to start thinking about the relationship between husband and wife.

He stood up, walked into the kitchen, activated the system skills, made a box of jujube cakes, and after tasting some delicious food, he finally relieved his sorrow.

"Let's go out for a walk. ”

Jiang Chen put away the remaining half of the box of jujube cakes, took them with him, and prepared to give them to Xiaoxi after he went out.

Yesterday he spent a night outside, and today he must be even more unable to sit still, in the pickaxe capital, there is always much more interesting than this house.

Of course, he didn't dare to go to Yunhuai River, although after he made the poem and gave it to Liu Shuyan, the eyes of the woman on the painting boat were about to burst into flames when she looked at him, but as the so-called time to coax, he had to be cowardly, and he had just been caught, and now he still had to avoid the limelight a little.

He carried the jujube cake in his hand, and walked to the mouth of the alley.

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

I only heard a loud noise in front of me.
