Chapter 128: Undercurrent

The Empress Dowager immediately became enthusiastic about Mrs. An Luhou, although she did not respond to this matter, nor did she carefully ask about the criteria for choosing a son-in-law for Miss Deng of An Luhou Mansion, but invited Mrs. An Luhou to bring a pair of children to Cining Palace tomorrow as a guest, and said: "That day, the eldest son of Jinghai Hou Shizi and Taiyuan General Jin Haitao will also come." ”

Mrs. An Luhou was relieved, and even said "good" with a smile on her face, as if she was very happy to have such an opportunity.

Jiang Xian looked at it, and he didn't know what to say.

On the day when Deng Chenglu came to Cining Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, Jiang Xian did not talk to him, for fear that he would misunderstand.

Deng Chenglu's sadness could not be concealed.

Like a child.

I can't collapse at all.

Jiang Xian is not afraid of Li Qianheng, not afraid of Zhao Xiao's ulterior motives, but afraid of Deng Chenglu, who is soft and lying on his stomach, showing his snow-white belly in front of her like a puppy, and taking his sincerity out and letting her take what she wants.

She doesn't know what to do?

always felt that compared to Li Qian and Zhao Xiao, he was like a little white rabbit who fell into the wolf's den.

Jiang Xian realized that he was a soft eater who didn't eat hard!

She couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

but provoked Jin Xiao's attention.

He glanced at Zhao Xiao, who was not squinting, talking softly and eloquently with the Empress Dowager, and then at Deng Chenglu, who was sitting there anxiously staring at his toes, and boldly whispered to the palace maid beside him to make a cup of tea, and refilled a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xiao and others, and even Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian smiled politely at him and thanked him.

Jin Xiao's hand pulling the bow trembled. I almost knocked over the tea in my hand.

This was the first time he had looked at Jiang Xian so closely.

Her delicate skin was as white as a pear blossom, her big bright eyes, and her nose was high. The jet-black hair and ruddy lips all made his heart tremble, and he felt that he had never seen a more beautiful girl than Jiang Xian. Especially when she sat there, wearing only a half-new lilac-colored jacket covered with gold, the color of an old woman's dead and dull, and the clothes that only those decent mothers and unwaiting little maids wore in their house, but they suddenly looked demure and dignified when they wore them on her. It couldn't be better.

It can be seen that it is not that the color of the clothes is not good-looking, but who the person wearing the clothes is!

He was reluctant to come before. Now it's a lot of regrets.

I knew that the county lord of Jianan was such a person, and he should have come earlier.

This also blames him for not having a brain.

He had seen Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu looks like that, will his cousin be worse?

Now Deng Chenglu's advantage is that his home is in the capital, and Zhao Xiao's advantage is that his family is better than him. If he has any advantages, I am afraid that he can only be regarded as a family operating in the northwest for several generations, and the Jiang family has now lost the control of the Xuanfu, and needs to make friends from afar and attack closely, and form an alliance with the Jin family, but that is also when the Jiang family wants to marry the Jin family, and the Jiang family can influence the marriage of the lord of Jianan County in advance...... In addition to these, he is not even as good as Deng Chenglu. If he didn't fight for it himself, he would have to be a foil for those two.

Thoughts flashed through my mind. Jin Xiao couldn't help but smile in a low voice and said to Jiang Xian: "This year, this year is cold and cold, and the county lord is afraid that he will not go out much these days." I heard that the plum blossoms in the Zhenguo Mansion are blooming well this year, didn't the county lord go back to take a look?"

Jiang Xian smiled and entertained him: "The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are also blooming well." Last year, the Empress Dowager hosted a banquet and invited several ladies to enjoy the flowers. There is no need to make a special trip back to the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

Jin Xiao smiled and nodded. The side face is handsome and compelling, which makes Jiang Xian can't help but show appreciation.

The people chosen by the Empress Dowager are really reliable.

Not to mention the family background, just this appearance is one in a million.

What about husband and wife and beauty, it is an ethereal thing that no one can say, but there is a good skin that can be seen and touched. At least the children born are all beautiful.

The reason why this golden night was selected. Ten* is because he is pretty.

Jiang Xian pursed his lips and smiled.

Deng Chenglu was even more depressed.

Zhao Xiao forced a smile.

He didn't expect Jiang Xian to be so generous, and he could still appreciate Jin Xiao's handsomeness in front of the two elders.

It's totally ...... The style of the superior.

This little girl. Could it be because he has been in Cining Palace for a long time?

Zhao Xiao thought so in his mind, but he faintly felt that his idea was too superficial.

The county lord of Jianan is like a mystery palace, and what she reveals is probably only the tip of the iceberg compared to what she hides deep in her heart.

What is the real her, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Duke of Zhenguo may not know.

Zhao Xiao felt that he was now facing a treasure mountain, trying to find a way to enter the treasure mountain, carefully explored, and finally got the treasure buried in the ground...... The kind of secrecy that only one person knows, makes him eager to try and move.

Whether it is Jin Xiao or Deng Chenglu, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's the county lord of Jianan again, what does she think.

As long as she agrees, this family business is done.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Cao had already decreed that the Lord of Jianan County would be married to Cao Xuan, where could she wait until today the Empress Dowager personally chose a son-in-law for the Lord of Jianan County.

Zhao Xiao smiled and said to the Empress Dowager: "I heard that the Empress Dowager's body is not in harmony, and the emperor is going to Wanshou Mountain to visit the Empress Dowager, but she is not in the palace these days, and the palace is also very deserted." When I came from Fujian, I brought two house slaves, and the big drum was pretty good. Why don't you let them come into the palace and sing the big drum for you for two days?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said, "Your family still raises this kind of house slave?"

Zhao Xiao said very calmly: "Our family has a lot of entertainment, not only raising domestic slaves who sing big drums, but also domestic slaves who sing Kunqu opera and Southern opera. My mother loves to listen to opera, and I have followed it since I was a child, and I also like to listen to opera. But now that I'm older, these are all on-the-scenes exchanges, and it's rare to be quiet and appreciate them sometimes. Isn't this just a desire to rest for two days with your east wind?"

Deng Chenglu couldn't help but scold Zhao Xiao for being cunning in his heart.

He must be raising a drama team at home, knowing that the Empress Dowager will go to check on him, this hurdle cannot be bypassed, so he simply said it himself, and fought a "gentleman frankness" in front of the Empress Dowager.

I hate myself for being short-spoken since I was a child, and I can't say anything I want to say......

He lowered his head and drank his tea.

Jiang Xian sighed secretly in his heart and motioned for his lover to take care of Deng Chenglu.

The lover bowed his head almost invisibly, and quietly instructed the palace maid who refilled Deng Chenglu's cup not to renew Deng Chenglu's tea.

Jin Xiao saw it in her eyes and was very anxious.

It's good to be at home in the capital, and I often come to the palace to greet the nobles, and someone will take care of everything.

It seems that he can't stay at the border like this all the time!

Jin Xiao let out a long breath.

Over there, the Empress Dowager's complexion gradually warmed.

Zhao Xiao's heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he continued to smile: "I don't know what the imperial concubine likes? ”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and smiled at the Empress Dowager, and said, "I have been with the Empress Dowager since I entered the palace, and after so many years, my preferences are similar." ”

"Then I will send those two house slaves into the palace the day after tomorrow," Zhao Xiao smiled while the iron was hot, "Tomorrow the emperor will go to Wanshou Mountain, I am afraid that he will come to Cining Palace to resign." ”

Dear friends, the monthly pass is 2100 plus more!
