Chapter 184: Happy Events Are Approaching
Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned, only feeling that Xiao Shao's words seemed to have inexplicable emotions, and he felt strange in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at him. The young man stared straight at her, and his deep, cold black eyes almost looked into the hearts of people.
Xiao Shao is cold and indifferent on the surface, but in fact he is strong and domineering, for example, in this moment, there is a little bit of meaning to take her for himself. Jiang Ruan shook his head again after thinking about it, Xiao Shao is introverted, not like such a person with exposed emotions, but he is afraid that something is right. After a pause, she said, "It's right for you to say that," she changed the subject: "Now that your class teacher has returned to the court, I want to come to Your Majesty and have a headache about what reward to give." ”
Xiao Shao was originally in a high position, and it was never an exaggeration to say that he was walking sideways among the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty. The so-called high merit covers the master, but it is completely unnecessary when it comes to his stubble. As early as many years ago, the emperor was able to reward him almost sparingly, except for the position of the Ninety-Five, now every time he makes a contribution, there is no shortage of gold and silver treasures, and the official position has reached a grade, and there is really nothing to find.
Jiang Ruan suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly: "I want to think about it, it seems that I can only give you some beauties." ”
Xiao Shao didn't expect Jiang Ruan to suddenly mention this matter, glanced at him, and said lightly: "No need." ”
"Your Majesty will support you wholeheartedly," Jiang Ruan looked at the tea cup in front of him: "Your class teacher will return to the dynasty, and the Empress Dowager's decree will be fulfilled, but Jiang's mansion is now ruined, marrying me will not bring you any benefits, Your Majesty thinks about you everywhere, and he is unwilling to do so." At the beginning, I heard that His Majesty intended to marry the daughter of the Yao family to you, and this time you have made such a contribution, and a marriage in exchange for help is more direct than any gold, silver and jewelry. ”
Jiang Ruan's words are not groundless, since the news of the great victory at the border pass came, Jiang Ruan heard Aunt Yang beside the Empress Dowager Yide when he entered the palace, and the emperor began to summon Governor Yao frequently. Jiang Ruan knew that Xiao Shao was responsible for many secrets, just like her. She didn't understand why the emperor would be so protective of Xiao Shao, but it was obvious that the emperor's heart was biased towards Xiao Shao. The emperor was very dissatisfied with her being the princess of Jinying, if it weren't for Xiao Shao, I am afraid that she would have been replaced a long time ago. Now that Xiao Shao has re-entered the court after many years, he has won this great feat, how could the emperor let go of this opportunity? Since ancient times, emperors have always liked to arrange their lives for others.
She said frankly, and there didn't seem to be any bad emotions. Xiao Shao looked at her quietly and did not speak. He looked good, and he stayed at the border for some time, which stimulated all the coldness in his bones. When I came back this time, I saw that my temperament was even colder, and my body was filled with a cold atmosphere, but my eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and my face was beautiful, and I suddenly smiled slightly, and I felt a little cold and evil.
His voice couldn't hear emotion, but just drifted faintly to Jiang Ruan's ears: "So, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Ruan's hand holding the stove tightened, and the young man opposite him was dressed in black like ink, and asked again with a faint and faint attitude: "Do you want me to accept others?" ”
For a moment, Jiang Ruan's whole person froze, clearly holding the stove in his hand, and suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar. Because the same thing she had heard in her previous life.
At that time, she was still just like the palace, and she had the idea of fending for herself every day. At that time, it was rumored in the palace that the prime minister intended to marry his youngest daughter to the eighth prince and declare him a concubine. When she heard the news, she consciously felt that her already bleak life was even more gloomy, and she actually had a serious illness, and she left to visit her during her illness. He leaned into her ear and whispered, "What do you think?" Do you want me to accept someone else? ”
Jiang Ruan thought in a trance about how she answered at that time. She was confused and miserable, endured the pain in her heart and said: "This is His Highness's business, and I have no right to ask." ”
What did Xuanli say, Xuanli looked at her and said softly, "In my life, the position of the concubine is reserved for you." The rest of the people can't get into my eyes, let alone my heart. If you hear something, it's a show, you can't do it really, I only have you in my heart, don't you understand? ”
Such sincere and affectionate words finally shattered her weakness in the deep palace, for his affection, she was willing to be a chess piece for him step by step in the palace, but in the end there was no bone left. Now when he hears these words in his ears, time seems to go backwards, and he has returned to the day when Xuanli whispered softly in his previous life.
Her strange appearance was seen by Xiao Shao, and she was shocked in her heart. Xiao Shao has seen Jiang Ruan's various appearances, gentle and graceful, well-behaved and submissive, bright and charming, ruthless and ruthless, describing her as embarrassed and stubborn and independent, but rarely seen her at a loss. And at this moment, she was sitting opposite him with the stove, her eyes were in a trance, I don't know what she thought, her eyes were full of sadness and dazedness, and it made people's hearts tense for no reason. Xiao Shao didn't have time to analyze why Jiang Ruan suddenly changed his mood, so he immediately stood up and pulled her up, and as soon as Fang pulled her hand, he realized that she was trembling slightly. He paused, then pulled Jiang Ruan into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I said it wrong, I shouldn't have asked you that." There was a hint of annoyance in his tone: "I won't accept others, the hostess here, only you." ”
When his body touched Xiao Shao's cold clothes, Jiang Ruan was dazed for a moment. Her head rested on Xiao Shao's chest, Xiao Shao's hand wrapped around her shoulder, gently landed on her back, carefully comforting, and the posture was a bit of a child.
Jiang Ruan stiffly stretched out his hand to hug him, his hands around his waist and slowly tightened, and his eyes regained calm little by little.
She thought she had forgotten all those things, and thought she could hide the hatred in her heart well. However, things in the world are not so easy to let go, Xuanli and her betrayal and hurt in her previous life have always been there, and she has never forgotten it for a day.
Xiao Shao felt Jiang Ruan's emotional excitement, he didn't know which sentence he said wrong that caused Jiang Ruan's abnormality, but he knew that the problem of Lu Dao must be in his words just now. After thinking about it, he said softly: "I said you don't have to do anything, and you don't have to worry about this." ”
"I don't want to." Jiang Ruan said suddenly.
Xiao Shao lowered his eyes to look at her, Jiang Ruan's expression seemed to still have a trance of Fang Cai, but his eyes were as calm as before. Her hand was cold, and the hand around Xiao Shao's waist tightened a little, and she smiled slightly: "I don't want you to accept other people." ”
The girl's smile is like a flower, she is already bright and moving, every time she sees it, she seems to have grown a point, and now the childishness has receded, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of charm, and every move has a kind of amazing carved into the bone marrow. Her tone was firm and calm: "Since you want me to enter your palace, your palace and you belong only to me." All women in the world are jealous, and I am no exception. If more women come and divide my things, I will not hesitate to kill them, even if they are acting on the spot. ”
Speaking of the most reluctant, her tone was already full of murderous intent. In fact, Jiang Ruan herself couldn't tell why she said this. After she was reborn, she also thought about her own family affairs, which was nothing more than to use the power of her husband's family to achieve her own goals. Since it's just a tool for revenge, she doesn't care if it's true or not. will even play a good role as a virtuous wife, and if necessary, she can take the initiative to take concubines for her husband.
But now she is saying her thoughts, time overlaps with the previous life, and she doesn't know whether she is answering Xiao Shao's question or the question of Xuanli in the previous life. But she knew in her heart that at this time, she was saying without thinking, and this was what she meant.
Xiao Shao stared at her, there seemed to be ripples in his quiet dark eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and the next moment, he quickly bowed his head and kissed Jiang Ruan's forehead.
He pressed Jiang Ruan's head into his arms, and his tone was unprecedentedly gentle: "I don't like to act on the spot, so there will be no one else." ”
Jiang Ruan's body trembled, and he said that he didn't like to act on the spot. He and Xuan Li are different people. Jiang Ruan sighed in his heart, and unconsciously hugged Xiao Shao tighter, he was not Xuanli, the two of them have never been similar.
Xiao Shao hugged her, her long eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions in her eyes, Jiang Ruan was so strange today, but she didn't know where she went wrong. In the past, he thought that there were some secrets that Jiang Ruan might not want others to touch, and he did not deliberately explore them. Now it seems that if some secrets are not solved, there will be an invisible barrier between him and her forever.
……
The news of Xiao Shao and Jiang Xinzhi, the kings of Jinying, returning to Beijing ahead of schedule spread throughout the capital on the second day, not for anything else, but for two wills. One is to give the marriage of Xiao Shao, the king of Jinying, and Jiang Ruan, the lord of Hong'an, immediately, but the second is to crown Jiang Xinzhi as the general of Luxi, and the official worships the second grade, and takes over the power of 100,000 troops under the original General Wu.
This is already a great honor for a rookie in the court who was born as a civil official and is now young and young. With this position as the starting point, Jiang Xinzhi's future will be full of flowers. However, in fact, this time the Jinyi Wei led by Xiao Shao and Jiang Xinzhi did fight a good battle, and Guan Lianghan was still on the road with the army and the envoys of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom. When the envoy entered the capital, he wrote a letter of surrender, and from then on, the Tianjin Kingdom paid tribute every year, ceded ten cities, and bowed down to the Great Jin Dynasty from then on.
The emperor was very satisfied with this result. That day, Xiao Shao entered the imperial study and talked to the emperor for half an hour, and he didn't know what he said, after Xiao Shao left, the eunuch who entered the study to clean up saw that the ground was full of broken teacups and porcelain, obviously the emperor was not light. But I didn't know why, and on the second day, I heard the news that Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan would get married immediately. Everyone speculated that what Xiao Shao and the emperor said was related to this matter, and they couldn't help but envy Jiang Ruan again.
The family affair was set for a month later, and Guan Lianghan also returned to Beijing at that time, which coincided with the New Year, which can be described as double happiness. This God-given fate has been set early, and now it is just a marriage. However, it still caused a lot of waves in the palace, and for a while, discussions about this matter could be heard everywhere.
In the imperial garden, Jiang Zhaoyi and several palace ladies sat on a small table to discuss the matter, Jiang Dan peeled off a tangerine casually, and the hand painted with Kodan looked very white and tender on the round tangerine, she smiled and said: "Big sister is really a good life." ”
Wang Meiren, now it should be called Wang Zhaorong, said gently: "The lord of Hong'an is already smart and decent, and he and King Jinying are a match made in heaven." There is also a queen of heaven and a queen of heaven to give a marriage in front of her, which can be regarded as perfect. ”
Jiang Dan smiled, glanced at Wang Lian'er, and then crossed Mu Xirou to the side. In the past year, the emperor didn't know what to do, and he also promoted Wang Lian'er and Mu Xirou at the same time as her, Xu felt that the three of them could contain each other. Wang Lian'er became Wang Zhaorong, Mu Xirou became Mu Zhaohua, and she herself became Jiang Zhaoyi, all three of them are positive and third-grade, and the grades are not up or down. Mu Xirou was holding a shelf coldly all day long, and she was not afraid for the time being, but this Wang Lian'er was very cunning, and the two of them secretly fought the most fiercely in the palace.
Jiang Dan smiled, and suddenly said to a woman sitting at the bottom of the house: "Dong Xiuyi, you and my eldest sister used to be friends in the middle, I don't know what congratulatory gifts you prepared for this eldest sister's wedding?" ”
The woman raised her head and revealed a delicate face, which was Dong Ying'er. Now her appearance has not changed, but her expression no longer has the agility she had when she was a girl. In the past year, she has also been favored by the emperor, and she has been promoted to a three-grade cultivator, which is really ironic in the world. When she was a girl, she was the concubine of Jingzhao Yin's mansion, Jiang Dan was just a concubine of Shangshu Mansion, and Jiang Dan was far inferior to her. Now that she has entered the palace, she has fallen down, and she has to salute when she sees Jiang Dan. At this moment, when Dong Ying'er heard Jiang Dan's sarcastic words, she only smiled faintly: "County Lord Jin Zhi Yuye, how can the concubine climb high?" ”
"Dong Xiuyi is wrong about what he said, I remember that you and my eldest sister were very good. By the way, isn't there still the young lady of the Zhao family, speaking of which, I think of a thing, the eldest brother is now promoted to a general, and this reward is also considered to be clever, when the news of the eldest brother's head was spread outside, who would have thought that he would have such a beautiful situation today? That's why I said, people are not as good as heaven, and this opportunity of the eldest brother can make those with bad intentions fall behind. When the eldest brother had an accident, the people who wanted to climb his family with him saw the wind and the rudder, and immediately drew a line with him, but now I am afraid that my intestines are repentant. ”
Dong Ying'er's body stiffened slightly, she lowered her head, but her throat tightened unconsciously. Jiang Dan's words sounded like he was talking to her. At the beginning, Jiang Xin's whereabouts were unknown, but his father and mother just saw that the situation was not right at the beginning, and forced her to enter the palace by themselves. At that time, she had no way out, and seeing that Jiang Xinzhi was also fierce and unlucky, she entered the palace after a while. Who knew that Lu Dao would have today, and when the news of Jiang Xinzhi's rescue came out, her heart was really happy and sad. The good thing is that in the end, that person still has a life, and the sad thing is that she is already another wife, and there is no possibility between the two. Now Jiang Xinzhi has become a young general of Luxi, who is in the limelight for a while, but she is a palace dependant in the palace, how ironic it is to say this from Jiang Dan's mouth.
Seeing this, Wang Lian'er smiled slightly: "Isn't it?" General Jiang is really young and promising, with outstanding achievements, and he is a talent, but he doesn't know which family's daughter will be cheaper in the future, and he can get his blue eyes. ”
"Where is the turn of the day?" Jiang Dan smiled more and more happily: "Isn't it a little interesting now?" ”
Dong Ying'er's body stiffened, Wang Lian'er was stunned, and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Dong Xiuyi, do you still remember the Miss Zhao family who was very close to her eldest sister?" Jiang Dan smiled: "At the beginning, the three of you were extremely good. I heard that General Jiang's favorite sweetheart is Miss Zhao, and now I have begged someone to go to Zhao's mansion to inquire about the news. It's really a very good marriage, and my big sister is very happy to think about it. ”
Dong Ying'er's face was already pale, if she hadn't remembered that this was the Imperial Garden, she would have almost crumbled down. Zhao Jin? It turned out to be Zhao Jin? She has been in the palace for so long, and she has already seen clearly that Jiang Dan is not a good character she wants to be with. Originally, she also wanted to think that Jiang Dan was biting indiscriminately, but as long as Jiang Xinzhi was involved, she couldn't help but be upset. Jiang Xinzhi's sweetheart turned out to be Zhao Jin? When did they get together? When did Zhao Jin fall into Jiang Xinzhi's eyes again?
Dong Ying'er only felt cold in her heart, she didn't hide the matter of Jiang Xinzhi from Zhao Jin at all, Zhao Jin knew that her mind was still with Jiang Xinzhi. and Jiang Ruan, who treated her so ruthlessly at the beginning, but helped Zhao Jin and Jiang Xinzhi, who are also friends, why did Jiang Ruan treat her so differently?
A deep unwillingness and anger welled up in her heart, as well as the sadness of being betrayed. I just felt that everyone was watching her jokes, and the whole person seemed to be different from herself. I couldn't hear what Jiang Dan was still saying at all.
"Miss Zhao and eldest brother are also very compatible." Jiang Dan said with a smile: "The eldest brother is a general, and the young lady of the Zhao family comes from a family of military generals, no matter how you look at it, it is no wonder that the eldest sister has to help them." ”
Jiang Dan said happily to herself, but she didn't expect someone to come behind her, as soon as she finished saying this, she heard a clear voice sound behind herself: "This hall originally thought that only ignorant women in the market and villages would chew the root of people's tongues, and I didn't want the nobles in this deep palace to be like this, which is really eye-opening." Fortunately, Miss Zhao and General Jiang are not here today, otherwise they will be ruined for such a reason when they hear that their reputation will be ruined, I am afraid that they will not give up, Mrs. Liu, what this hall said is right? ”
Everyone was startled, Jiang Dan stood up, and saw a young man behind him with a beautiful young man, the immature young man Rong Qinian was jade, his tone was smiling and ridiculous, but there was a coldness in his eyes, who was not Xuan Pei.
"Your Highness the Thirteenth." Wang Lian'er and a few people hurriedly got up and saluted, and for the prince, the palace concubine of the third grade should also bow her head. What's more, now these thirteen princes are quite favored, and even the prince's concubine Liu Min gave him to go. The young man beside him had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, faintly arrogant, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes at this moment, but he said quietly: "What His Highness said is true." ”
That's the kind of conjunction.
Jiang Dan secretly gritted her teeth, but she didn't know when she ran out of Xuan Pei, she felt that she had lost face in front of everyone because of Xuan Pei, and she was a little annoyed for a while. Deng Shi smiled and said: "Your Highness Thirteen, these things about the tongue of the harem are just women's things, and if Your Highness Thirteen comes in, it will make people laugh." ”
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, she doesn't like this Xuan Pei very much. She can be comfortable with other princes, and she does not hesitate to compliment herself, but she can treat this thirteen princes very reluctantly even with a good color. I don't know if it's her illusion, she can always find Jiang Ruan's shadow on Xuan Pei, especially those ancient eyes without waves, when looking at people, they are the same cold, which makes people feel palpitations.
Wang Lian'er secretly scolded a fool in her heart, everyone knew that the emperor now values Xuan Pei, and Jiang Dan is still so polite when he speaks. I don't want to think about what the emperor will think if this word reaches the emperor's ears. The emperor himself can scold Xuanpei, but he will never let a Zhaoyi teach the prince a lesson.
"How can this be considered a harem thing?" Xuan Pei smiled slightly: "General Jiang is a hero of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhaoyi is in the palace, but he can also be clear about General Jiang's private affairs, and he is also very concerned about General Jiang, Zhaoyi A harem woman can care about General Jiang, and this palace, as the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty and the son of his father, should naturally care more about General Jiang." ”
Jiang Dan was speechless, and secretly scolded Xuanpei for being cunning in his heart. This is really a bit of a curse, she is a harem woman who pays attention to the private affairs of other young generals, which is really a bit excessive. Jiang Dan said with difficulty: "It's my eldest brother's ......." ”
"Zhaoyi is really strange," it was Mu Xirou who had been watching coldly when she spoke, her beauty was too arrogant, and she still said coldly at this moment: "I heard that General Jiang entered the palace to receive the reward, but I have never heard of entering the palace to catch up with Jiang Zhaoyi, and no one from the Jiang family came to visit Zhaoyi, I really don't know where Zhaoyi got these news." The Queen Mother and Her Majesty did not speak, it seems that Jiang Zhaoyi is more capable than Her Majesty. ”
No one thought that Mu Xirou, the cold beauty on weekdays, would speak so badly that she almost made Jiang Dan speechless. The palace is full of the emperor's people, and what he said here today may not reach the emperor's ears. No one knows what the emperor thinks in his heart, but Jiang Dan is anxious at the moment, and said: "I haven't said this, Mu Zhaohua, why do you say this about me?" ”
Mu Xirou sneered and stopped talking.
Xuan Pei on the side laughed, and Liu Min, who was standing beside him, also raised his lips slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Jiang Dan inadvertently offended Xuan Pei and actually isolated himself. No one will offend the prince who is valued by the emperor, no one will speak for Jiang Dan, Jiang Dan is in a very embarrassing situation at the moment.
Xuan Pei stroked his sleeves, the young man with delicate eyebrows and eyes was gorgeously dressed, the corners of his lips were smiling and gentle, but his tone was undisguised indifference: "Jiang Zhaoyi, illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth, you have to remember." ”
For a moment, Jiang Dan actually felt a chill.
