Xue Baochai kept walking forward, even if he went around the corner, even if he had walked out of the sight of the two people behind, Xue Baochai didn't dare to rest assured, until he saw Jia Jiu sitting on a Taihu Lake stone from a distance and talking to Liang Lihua and two other strangers, he stepped forward quickly, and when he arrived at the place, his body was weak, and he immediately fell to the ground.

His feet finally couldn't support the weight of his body, and he was allowed to roll down to the dust.

Jia Jiu, who was facing away from Xue Baochai and talking to Princess Jiashan, Liang Lihua and Yan Wei, was taken aback by Xue Baochai.

He said: "Sister Bao, even in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't need you to give such a big gift?!" When he saw Xue Baochai's appearance clearly, he knew that it was not good, and jumped up immediately: "Sister Bao, what happened?" In the past, you were the most polite and thoughtful, but you would not do such a rude thing. ”

Xue Baochai grabbed Jia Jiu's hand and turned his gaze to the eldest princess of Jiashan and Yan Xun, and Jia Jiu immediately introduced him.

Xue Baochai saw that it was the eldest princess of Jiashan, Yan Wei was the son of the Yan family, and Liang Lihua was also the young lady of the prime minister's family, and the palace maid and eunuch on the side stood far away, so she trembled her lips and said: "I was over there just now, and I heard someone say this,...... "I repeated what I heard like this, and said: "This shouldn't be a person like me who talks too much, it's just about the second sister, and Miss Liang is one of the two new friends I just met today, I can't help but pay attention to it, Where did you think that the other party actually said this? I thought that the one who could be respected as a prince in this princess's mansion should be Han Shizi, the beloved son of Princess Duanrong, as the nephew of Banzai. Choosing a wife room from among the show girls is not a big deal. But I didn't expect it to ...... later."

The eldest princess of Jiashan originally thought that it was just her nephew who took a fancy to a certain lady who was going to the banquet today, and it was just like what Xue Baochai said, as the emperor's nephew, it was not a big deal to take a fancy to a certain lady who was going to participate in the general election. As long as the emperor doesn't mind, there will be no one who talks too much about this, especially Han Derang, who has half of the Di bloodline and grew up on the grassland, and there are rules and etiquette that don't understand Daqi. If the emperor was happy, perhaps he would have fulfilled this nephew - but it is worth considering that this nephew's retinue brought from the grassland dared to say that he would not let go of everyone who looked down on Han Derang.

In terms of identity. The tribal structure of the steppe is simple. It is generally based on a family or clan unit, the tribal leader is the king of their tribe, and the family members of the tribal leader are the royal family of the tribe. And the family members of the tribal leader are the people and commoners of the tribe. Except for a few people who were left behind or promoted because of their bravery, the rest were not members of the family of the tribal leader, although they were also herdsmen, but in fact they were slaves in the tribe. They don't have property of their own. But he is engaged in the heaviest work in the tribe. When there was a war between tribes, they were one of the first group of cannon fodder to go to war with the most rudimentary weapons and armor.

Although Princess Duanrong is the princess of Daqi, for the Di people, whether it is Princess Duanrong or Han Derang, the son of Princess Duanrong, they are all outsiders. Perhaps their resourcefulness will allow them to win more with fewer losses, but for the Di people, the southerners who use intrigue are just annoying.

So. Princess Duanrong and his son did not have a very high status on the grassland. Just like the husband of Princess Duanrong, the leader of the largest tribal alliance among the eight tribes of the Di people, Wu Ritu. Before marrying Princess Duanrong, he already had a concubine and two side rooms, and Princess Duanrong was just one of his many side rooms. It was the son born to him by the eldest princess of Duanrong, Bu Rigude, the god of war of the steppe who didn't like it very much, thinking that this son was too much like his southerner mother, too cowardly, and not like an eagle on the grassland at all.

Under such circumstances, the status of Princess Duanrong on the grassland and in the tribe can be imagined, and the person who naturally attaches to Princess Duanrong is not a person with a very good background. In other words, most of the people who are attached to Princess Duanrong are people who are excluded like Princess Duanrong on the grassland. These people are either lip-synched, or have a little brain, but most of them are just like that. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Duanrong still has some skills in employing people, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as good as he is now.

These things are known to the eldest princess of Jiashan, and several prime ministers in the court know, but the rest of the people in the capital may not know. Just like the Jia family, including Jia Jiu, these people thought that Princess Duanrong was the princess of the largest tribe in the grassland and was very powerful in the grassland, so the court took him back and treated him so politely.

The problem is that Han Derang, the son of Princess Duanrong, dared to say such a thing, even Princess Jiashan had to consider whether Princess Duanrong might betray Daqi.

The suspicion of stealing the axe from the neighbor is originally the more suspicious it is, the more similar it is, not to mention that Princess Duanrong's reputation in the royal family and in Daqi is really not high.

Although they are sisters, to be honest, in the royal family with weak family affection, Princess Duanrong's popularity and evaluation are good, which really makes people worry about his IQ and EQ for him. Therefore, it is not surprising that the eldest princess of Jiashan chose to believe in Xue Baochai instead of defending her sister.

The eldest princess of Jiashan did not find a reason for the eldest princess of Duanrong, but turned her head to see her sweetheart's reaction at the first time. I saw Yan Wei gently tapping his left palm with the folding fan in his hand, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously thinking about how high the possibility of Princess Duanrong betraying Daqi was.

Seriously, this trust in the eldest princess of Duanrong is not enough. As a man, from a realistic point of view, Princess Duanrong chose to pay her wisdom for the strength of the Di people in order to live a good life, and such behavior is understandable from a man's tolerance for women. But as a princess, after enjoying the honor that belongs to the princess, she actually chose to betray her motherland, which is absolutely unforgivable from the perspective of the subjects of Daqi.

Other women can betray as much as this world. Women are originally dependent on men to live, and as the son of a family, these poor people who are illiterate, have not received a complete education, and are completely uncertain about their fate. Yan Wei is tolerant.

But the princess of Daqi is not in this case.

The princess of Daqi has enjoyed a life of fine clothes and food since she landed, and this kind of life is almost unimaginable for the people of Daqi. Because of this, the princesses of Daqi are different from the daughters of ordinary people's families, they are born with huge responsibilities, and this responsibility has already decided that they will shed their last drop of blood for Daqi when they enjoy the glory and wealth.

If the eldest princess of Duanrong really betrayed Daqi, then. No matter how unavoidable he is, Yan Wei will not excuse him.

Yan Wei finally said: "I see. I understand. This matter is very important, and I ask you to be cautious in your words and actions. As for the matter of the eldest princess. I'll keep an eye out. By the way, Senior Sister Jia, about Ling Zun and Brother Ling,......"

Jia Jiu said: "I know. In fact, when my father and brother were awarded official positions. I already felt that something was wrong. Only now there is another piece of evidence. As for the reason, I think it's because our family has returned the deficit. Many powerful families in Beijing owe money to the national treasury, and now that our family is coldly paying off the shortfall, it seems that other families are not loyal enough. For those people, we are not only traitors, but also let Banzai have a bad impression of them, they dare not offend Tianwei, and it is inevitable to be angry with our family. ”

remembered Jia Jiu's request to Daomen. Yan Wei also understood that Jia Jiu already had a comprehensive plan, and he would no longer dwell on this matter at the moment. Instead, he said: "Since the senior sister already knows it in her heart, then the foolish brother won't say much." ”

When the eldest princess of Jiashan saw Yan Xun's solemn face, she knew that Jia Jiu was of great significance to Yan Wei. He loves Yan Wei, and he has already fallen deeper and deeper in the love network, Yan Wei likes him and is happy, Yan Wei is worried about him, Yan Wei is worried about Jia Jiu, and he is even more uncomfortable. Now seeing that Yan Xun put away the look on his face, he immediately said, "Speaking of which, I haven't said hello to the two of you yet." Miss Liang has been canonized as a first-class county monarch, given the name Ruian, enjoying 200 households, and Miss Jia has also been canonized as a second-class county monarch, enjoying 100 households. The royal brother also specially gave the imperial village, one for each person. At the next palace banquet, we will welcome new faces again. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly thanked the emperor in the direction of the emperor, and thanked the eldest princess Jiashan.

It was Liang Lihua, who was silent for a while, and said: "The imperial court is no stranger to the affairs of Yidi Babu. ”

Everyone here is smart, how can you not know what Liang Lihua meant? According to the practice of the imperial court, the emperor will give a knighthood to an unmarried girl, and the lowest is the third-class county monarch, because the township monarch is basically not qualified to see the driver. But at the same time as the title was given, the imperial village and the food were also given, which represented an attitude of the emperor.

In other words, the emperor was very aware of the small actions that Di Ren did behind his back, and he was also worried about how to teach Di Ren a small lesson. The competition between himself and Jia Jiu looked like a contest between girls, but it was a good shock to the militants in the Yidi tribe.

My two daughters still have such ability, what can you do with me?

This is the emperor's mood when he sees himself competing with Jia Jiu. Therefore, these things seem to be a reward for the strength of himself and Jia Jiu, but they are actually a reward for himself and Jia Jiu for their long faces. Therefore, the reward is extraordinarily generous.

It's just that if the imperial court has already taken precautions against the Di people and thinks that the Di people are not so honest with them, then the imperial court's behavior of sending both Jia Lian and Jia Lian's father and son to the border is worth considering.

The major events of the country are only sacrifices and Rong. Sacrifice is especially before defending against foreign aggression.

In the year of peace, even if it is conscription, it will avoid families with only one son in the family, and at the same time, when conscription, the only eldest son of the long house in the family will not be conscripted into the army. Don't talk about the family of the powerful, even if it is an ordinary family, if there are two rooms in the family, and there is only one adult eldest son in this big house, the official in charge of military recruitment will not recruit this eldest son, but will let the person in the second room be on top.

Just like the Jia family, if Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are not separated, even if they are separated, the officials in charge of military recruitment will only arrest Jia Zheng and become soldiers, but Jia Yu and Jia Lian can stay at home.

As for now, there are only three men in Jia Lian's branch, and according to the needs of the sacrifice, as long as one person in Jia Lian goes to the border gate, there is no need for father and son to go together. Now that Jia Yu and Jia Lian have both received the order, they have not yet had the time and opportunity to raise an objection. Don't make it clear that these Jiashan eldest princesses Yan Wei and the like, even Xue Baochai also knows that there is another reason for this.

The emperor's canonization of Jia Jiu was regarded as compensation for Jia Jiu's sister and brother.

That's right, now Jia Yu and Jia Lian are still on the way. If the emperor gives Jia Cong a knighthood or gives Jia Jiu a title that is more than two levels higher than this, it is tantamount to cursing Jia Lian for having an accident with Jia Lian's father and son. is only now, the knighthood is neither high nor low, just a little higher than the lowest grade of the driver, but it can let the rest of the Jia family know that Jia Jiu is remembered in the palace, ensuring that the two sisters and brothers can be smooth and safe at home.

Even Xue Baochai was sure that the emperor did not have much hope for Jia Lian's father and son to come back, and he couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.

It looks like I'm right. But how much benefit you can get depends on yourself.

Xue Baochai said to himself in his heart.

One thing is certain, that is, Jia Jiu, who was canonized as a county monarch, is qualified to enter the palace, and also has this opportunity to participate in palace banquets and various activities. The banquet in the palace, Xue Baochai didn't dare to think about it, but some ministers' hairpin clubs, and some activities that can be accompanied by companions, such as autumn hunting and east hunting, these Jia Jiu can bring a female companion to participate. You don't need to do much, as long as you participate once or twice in that year, then your chance will come.

Xue Baochai thought very beautifully. But he also knows very well that it will be difficult to get this opportunity. Not to mention anything else, Jia's mother will definitely interfere in Jia Jiu's choice of female companion, and if she gives Jia Jiu a bad impression, then the other party will probably not bring her.

When he first arrived, Jia Jiu faced his expression, but Xue Baochai remembered it clearly. Now the second sister's attitude is much better, but if she wants to become his female companion when she goes out to the banquet, she needs to work harder.

Xue Baochai regretted it a little, knowing that he had been pleasing this second sister when he first came. But it's not too late.
