Chapter 70

Changping can't stay in the palace on weekdays, but she doesn't have the heart to go out these days, she just stays quietly in her palace, she has a strong temperament, even if she is worried in her heart, she will not pull down her face and beg Jiang You.

Jiang You waited for her to come and sit firmly, so he coughed lightly, and said with a pretended embarrassment: "Cousin, you also know about the Tatar Khan's courtship, but now that the court is unstable, and there are alien races outside, I am also very embarrassed."

Changping is exquisite, how could he not know the meaning of her words? She closed her eyes slightly, and there was no change on her face: "I am a princess, and I enjoy all the glory and wealth in the palace, so I should naturally take some responsibilities. โ€

Jiang You glanced at her in surprise, still shaking his head and said: "Tatar has always been a place of non-compliance, it is common for sons to inherit fathers and wives, and to change wives with each other, but you really think about it." She laughed deliberately: "If you don't want to get married, it's not impossible, we have to think of a good reason, how about you already promised someone?" โ€

Changping blushed and frowned at her, Jiang You regarded himself as an iceman, and continued to talk about the lotus: "I see that the Zhang family of Zhenguo Gong is good, the family background is noble, the family is prominent, and Dongzheng Form is bent on marrying you, if you are willing to marry, we can refuse to go out on the Tatar side." โ€

Unexpectedly, Changping's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "What does the Zhang family mean by this?" Do you want to take advantage of the Tatar courtship to rob while the fire is not possible?! She sneered and was about to leave: "I really didn't expect him to be such a person, bothering the emperor to reply, my family affairs don't worry about their Zhang family, I just cut my hair and imitate Princess Yuzhen to become a monk, and I will never use their Zhang family to pity!" โ€

Jiang You originally wanted to tease her, but she didn't expect her to be so careless, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, and explained and explained, saying that Mrs. Zhang was sincerely asking for marriage, not threatening her with the matter of marriage, and she did not mention the matter of harmony in her words.

After Changping heard what she said, his expression eased, but he couldn't help but screw her: "How can the emperor talk like this, if you go to be a matchmaker, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get business all year round, I thought he" She said this, blushed slightly, and stopped talking.

Jiang You didn't know anything about men and women as he used to be, and when he saw that she looked like there was a door, he coughed and said: "It's all my nonsense, but this is really a good way, if you promise someone, you can naturally reject Bu Yan openly." She said with a straight face: "Don't look at me teasing him last night, but this is just a trivial matter, and he can only swallow his anger, and the Tatars will not suffer because of him alone. Those who went to war against the Great Qi without any reason, but if they rejected the Tatars' proposal in the name of friendship between the two states, it would be a matter of great importance to the face of the Tatars. โ€

Changping smacked her: "You are a girl's family, don't be ashamed to ask for kisses when you open your mouth and close your mouth." โ€

Jiang You said with a smile: "Dongzheng cousin can be literate and martial, plain and gentle, not the kind of person who loves flowers and grass, besides, he is the eldest son, so he will naturally inherit the position of the prince of Zhenguo in the future." โ€

Changping blushed, and the steps on his sideburns trembled: "I know he has a good temperament" paused, she frowned: "But this is too fast, I have known him for less than a month"

Jiang You also had no choice but to spread his hands: "Originally, if the two of you were willing to grind slowly, I wouldn't have anything to say, but who let the Tatar envoy come with a knife horizontally?" She coughed and said: "The matter of the princess marrying is not trivial, the wedding dowry must be prepared for at least a year, if you feel that you are in a hurry, you can decide on marriage first?" โ€

At this time, it would be hypocritical to refuse, Changping's cheeks were dyed with Feixia, his nails were picking at the armrests of the chair for a while, and he said softly: "But it's up to the emperor to decide." โ€

Jiang You nodded and shook his head: "It's not easy to say about the Empress Dowager, if she insists on stopping it, I'm afraid that there will be grinding in this matter." After all, she is Changping's grandmother, Changping suddenly wants to get married, and she is still married to the Zhang family, so it's strange that she can relax her mouth.

Changping lowered his eyes and sighed: "You don't have to trouble the emperor about this, I'll go and tell the imperial grandmother myself." She said lightly: "She always supports me, and it's good to explain some things clearly." โ€

Jiang You got up to send her out, and then sent someone to reply to the Zhang family, turned around and saw Hui Xue walking in, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the factory has ordered someone to pass the word, saying that it will be there soon, and I want to discuss the autumn hunt with you." โ€

Jiang You then remembered that there was still a stubble of autumn hunting, nodded at her, and when he saw that she was speechless and stopped, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" โ€

Hui Xue hesitated for a moment, but still asked thoughtfully, "The palm print was with you last night?" โ€

Jiang You's face was a little hot, and he raised his eyes to cover it up by looking at the paintings on the wall: "He was a little injured last night, and I saw that it was inconvenient for him to walk again, so I left him in the palace for one night." โ€

Xue Yuan'er didn't look like he was injured when he walked this morning, and Hui Xue pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, don't wronged yourself, it's the difference between monarchs and ministers." "Xue Yuan and Jiang You are not clear to others, how can those of them who are serving in the Qianqing Palace not know? It's just that no one dares to spread out because of his strict orders.

Jiang You opened his mouth, just wanted to answer, he heard the sound of thick-soled soap boots stepping on the stone slab outside the verandah, he opened the curtain and walked in, Jiang You let the snow go down first, and almost looked at him last night, but now he was a little embarrassed to see him again, and said: "Palm print"

Xue Yuan's demeanor was still calm, he sat down in an anti-guest posture, and looked her up and down a few times: "Did the emperor sleep well last night?" โ€

Jiang You's eyes fluttered, and he didn't dare to look at his face: "It's okay, it's okay"

Xue Yuan nodded: "The emperor is used to it, and he will sleep for decades in the future." โ€

Jiang You choked on a sip of tea in his throat, coughed for a long time but couldn't speak, he came over to help her pat her back and breathe smoothly, she thought of something, hurriedly dodged his hand, and stared at him suspiciously: "I didn't have time to think about it last night, but now I think about it carefully, the severed limb can't be continued, how can there be such a panacea, and it can make people grow something again?" โ€

Xue Yuan nodded casually and gently rubbed her small shoulder: "The emperor is wise, and he doesn't hide it from the emperor, but he is actually in charge of people. The gods of Lun's great event took pity on the ministers and were infatuated with the emperor, so they specially cast a spell to let the ministers return the yang, so that the emperor would not be killed. He raised his hand to caress her lower abdomen, his long eyelashes interlaced up and down, with some earnestness: "When will the emperor give birth to a child for his ministers?" โ€

Jiang You knocked hard with the teacup: "I asked you seriously!" โ€

Xue Yuan bit her shoulder lightly through the silk clothes: "The minister has always been serious to the emperor. โ€

Jiang You was speechless, glared at him sideways, broke away and sat in a different position: "Didn't you say that you wanted to discuss the autumn hunt with me?" โ€

Xue Yuan picked up a hat chair not far from her and sat down: "According to the previous rules, this time I will go for about half a month to a month, and I will leave in seven days." He took out the roster from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is the candidate to bring, and the Tatar envoys will also follow, what does the emperor think?" โ€

Jiang You stretched out his head to look at it, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "You are in charge." โ€

Seven days of hard work said not long to say short, but enough for each family to prepare, a group of people set off from the capital to the Chengde paddock, she was difficult to get out of the imperial city, the mind is very light, like a live monkey, to see that everything is fresh outside, Xue Yuan was busy commanding everyone to set up a camp, she took the guards into the forest, and saw a tall pine tree growing mushrooms from afar.

Jiang You said with great interest: "Can you eat this thing?" She grabbed one and threw it to the person behind her: "Give this to the imperial chef and say that I will eat this at night." She thought for a moment and said, "Please come over and drink the palm prints in the evening." โ€

Ma Cheng wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that it was not certain whether this mushroom could be eaten, but when the slave's mouth was good, he said with admiration on his face: "The emperor picked it well, and the overseer loves to eat this." "Anyway, as long as it is picked by the emperor, even if it is the โ–กโ–ก Governor, he will eat it willingly.

Jiang You happily took her hands and was about to go out, when she heard a few sounds of long swords breaking through the air in the forest, she turned her head to look, and saw a figure wearing a cyan straight embellished sword dancing in the forest, and for a while, the sword shadow flew over, and the sword moved with the person, confusing people's eyes.

The figure saw Jiang You stop, the corners of his lips were almost invisibly raised, and the sword in his hand danced more and more exquisitely, and suddenly his figure stopped, and the sword spike stopped dancing, and he lightly inserted it back into the scabbard.

Several guards behind him drew their swords and faced each other, his expression was calm, his eyes were only staring straight at Jiang You, his eyes were slightly bright, and he hugged his fists slightly and said, "Haven't asked the girl's name yet?" โ€

Jiang You raised his eyebrows: "You can see me when you dance the sword?" โ€

The man's face was handsome and clear, he only smiled at her and didn't answer, seeing the beautiful woman's gaze falling on him, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly, he was Wei Zhange, the son of the soldier of the military department.

These days, the courtiers are not thinking about Jiang You's marriage, but they have changed from open to dark, and they all took this opportunity to bring out the nephews who can be used in the family, hoping that which one can be favored by the emperor - Wei Zhange is one of them, so they can't help but be in a hurry, but the number of places is limited and they are not in a hurry.

He heard that the empress was young and stubborn, and often made the courtiers jump to their feet, thinking that it was a shrew with a girl and a dark complexion, but he didn't expect that she was a beautiful and handsome beauty, so it was not an insult to himself.

Jiang You didn't think about it so much, and asked sideways, "Which family are you?" โ€

He knew that the empress was good at martial arts and not good at writing, so he specially practiced swordsmanship for a few months just to meet him in the forest today, and he chuckled lightly when he heard this: "I am Wei Zhange, the son of the squire of the military department." He lightly raised the sword in his hand, and raised his chin with a rebellious face: "The girl also knows swordsmanship?" Why don't we have a competition? He inquired about Jiang You's temperament, and knew that blind gentleness and pettiness might not be able to enter her eyes, but it was better to go off the beaten path with a sword, but to get the blue eyes of a beautiful woman.

How could there be a sword competition with someone for the first time they met, although Jiang You didn't expect the position of the queen to be so far, he probably guessed that he was probably doing it deliberately to fight for a future, she didn't want to deal with this person very much, turned her head and saw Xue Yuan smiling at her outside the account, bowing her head slightly, and immediately walked over, casually commanding the guards beside him: "Isn't he going to compare?" Try him out and compare yourself with him. โ€

The guards walked over with their hands in high spirits, and Wei Zhan Gordon, who had been expecting the beautiful woman to admire him with a sword dance, was dumbfounded.

She walked up to Xue Yuan's side and raised her chin at Wei Zhange, who was bitter in the forest: "Why did Wei Shilang bring his own son here?" โ€

Xue Yuan looked at her with a smile: "The emperor is still unmarried, and the position of the queen is still vacant, so the ministers below naturally want to help the emperor share his worries, why don't you take this opportunity to quickly dedicate your own children and nephews to the emperor?" โ€

Jiang You's eyes widened and said, "I have said that I will not establish a monarch for the time being, and these people are still not dead!" โ€

She shook her head wordlessly, turned her head and wanted to go for a walk outside the camp tent, but she didn't expect that this time it was even more terrible, on the way she met people chanting poems three times, playing the flute four times, stroking the qin five times, pretending to be injured and asking her for help four times, she was so frightened that she got on the horse and hurriedly fled back to the camp tent, patting her chest and saying: "This is too scary, I don't dare to go out." โ€

Xue Yuan gently pinched her fingertips: "If the emperor doesn't want to go out, then don't go out, the minister is willing to accompany the emperor in the tent." โ€

Jiang You lowered the corners of his mouth and said nothing, the group outside is a hungry wolf, and you are a tiger.

On the first day of coming to the paddock, there was no time to start hunting, this time many wealthy families brought their daughters over, and they were busy resting in their camps, Jiang You took advantage of the night to build a bonfire outside the camp tent, invited Xue Yuan to drink, and was brushing the sauce on the pheasant on his knees, when he suddenly heard a report outside: "Your Majesty, Wei Shilang asked to see, saying that he was coming to ask you for sin." โ€

Jiang You had already forgotten about the incident in the morning, and only after a sigh did he say, "Let him come in." โ€

Over there, Wei Shilang was telling his son in a deep voice: "You wait to go in later, you don't have many opportunities to see the emperor, you have to show yourself." He glanced at the tent worriedly: "I just hope that Xue Changgong is not there." โ€

Wei Zhange disagreed: "No matter how powerful Dongchang is, he can't control the emperor for the rest of his life, my father is too worried." โ€

Wei Shilang twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a heavy tone: "You'd better give me some peace, do you think he Xue Yuan won't dare?" When the Empress Dowager had the idea of fighting the emperor's marriage, she specially helped the eldest son of the Zhao family to pull the strings, you can see what happened to him! He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, pleasing the emperor is secondary, and you have to please Xue Changgong." โ€

Wei Zhange's heart was a little tighter, but he thought that if he could get the empress's blue eyes, wouldn't his status and power be within reach? In an instant, those nervousness was forgotten again.

The two bent down into the tent, and saw Jiang You playing with a pheasant with great interest, Xue Yuan teaching her hand in hand, a pair of jade people side by side, the scene was picturesque, and the father and son of the Wei family were stunned before they remembered to salute.

Jiang You glanced at this casually: "Why did Wei Shilang ask for guilt?" โ€

Wei Shilang hurriedly bowed and said: "The dog is rude, he collided with the emperor in the morning, and the minister specially brought him to apologize to the emperor." He turned his head and rebuked, "Don't kneel down yet!" โ€
