Chapter 33: The Frontier

Jiang Luyao went to the Qin Palace's palace to congratulate Princess Qin on her birthday, but at that time, Princess Qin's attention was focused on the other young ladies of the Jiang family and did not pay attention to her.

Zhao Duoyi, the concubine of King Qin, just saw many ladies in a hurry when he kowtowed to Princess Qin with his brothers, Jiang Luyao was not conspicuous, and he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, with his temperament and identity, he couldn't learn to stare at the ladies of the boudoir.

Later, Jiang Luyao hid out of the city again, he only remembered Jiang Luzhu who was circling around Princess Qin, and he was not impressed by Jiang Luyao.

Jiang Luyao carefully observed King Qin, the only concubine, at the birthday banquet, and later listened to some gossip about King Qin's mansion one after another.

He is only one month younger than the prince of Qin, and his biological mother is from a humble background, not that King Qin is drunk, but he is afraid that he will not drag the servant girl to bed.

At that time, the concubine of the king of Qin was pregnant, and the side concubine and concubine were tightly controlled by the princess of Qin.

At that time, there were five or six favored servants, and only one of them was pregnant.

After learning that the maidservant girl was pregnant, the princess of Qin took care of her pregnant daughter-in-law and sent her to Zhuangzi.

Zhao Duoyi was born in Zhuangzi, and it was not until the concubine of the King of Qin committed suicide and died that the King of Qin remembered that there was such a concubine in the Zhuangzi.

However, he was not taken back to the palace immediately, and after the step-concubine of King Qin married in, he was carried back to the palace by the step-concubine herself.

When he returned to the palace, he could already walk and speak, so Zhao Duoyi respected Princess Qin like a biological mother.

It was also because his biological mother died in childbirth that he was able to be filial to Princess Qin without any care.

Zhao Duoyi is different from the prince of Qin, his appearance is gentle and handsome, he is humble and courteous, and he has good attainments in martial arts, he is deeply cultivated by the princess of Qin, and he is also very favored in front of the king of Qin, and the treatment is not half a star than the ordinary concubines of other palaces.

He is also the one who looks most like King Qin among all the sons of King Qin.

Princess Qin planned for him early, and sent him to the Xishan military camp two years ago, and the training in the military camp added a touch of murder to his elegant and gentle temperament, and the prince of Qin had a marriage contract early, and the princess Qin's own son had just turned fifteen, so Zhao Duoyi was also a good candidate for the ladies in the capital.

The concubines of the royal palace are more noble than the concubines of ordinary families.

He knew Jiang Luyao, but Jiang Luyao didn't have any memory of him.

Summoned by the old lady, Jiang Luyao was secretly annoyed, seeing Zhao Duo's smiling gaze, she was even more ashamed and annoyed, not afraid of attracting too much attention, she had already glared at the disciple, what kind of eyes? How do you seem to have found your first love?

Others will be complacent because of the flood of peach blossoms, Jiang Luyao only sees the trouble on them, even if Zhao Duoyi has no hope of succeeding to the title of King of Qin, he can be regarded as a troublesome person.

Why can't she be favored by a simpler man?

She didn't want to ask anyone or anything in the Qin Palace.

"I've seen Princess Qin." The old lady said to Princess Qin: "This girl is shy, don't be surprised by Her Royal Highness the Princess." โ€

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qin."

Jiang Luyao felt that the old lady had some more 'expectations' in her eyes, and after a little thought, she understood that Princess Qin came to the Hou Mansion as a guest today, if Jiang Luqi was there, she could still support the scene of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Luzhu would only make the old lady sad that there was no successor, and let Princess Qin look down on Miss Jiang.

When facing her grandmother alone, Jiang Luyao would not feel sorry for her because of her occasional weakness, and in front of outsiders, let the old lady show some kind of pleading...... She couldn't pretend she couldn't see it.

No matter what, she is now surnamed Jiang, and she is both prosperous and prosperous with the Jiang family, and one loss is lost.

Grandmother is going to be strong for a lifetime, and she can't bear to see her grandmother being ridiculed and pitied by King Qin in her later years, and she doesn't have a good granddaughter.

Jiang Luyao changed her mind, originally thinking of completely annoying Princess Qin with vulgarity, flattery and other manners.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Jiang Luyao used the most flawless etiquette to greet Princess Qin's mother and son, her tender tofu-like face had a shallow smile, she smiled toothlessly but also looked generous, gentle and quiet, a pair of clear and dark eyes were clear and visible, and she couldn't see any stammering, flattery and fear of Princess Qin.

It seems that Princess Qin, who is sitting next to the old lady, is an ordinary guest.

Distant, polite, and proud of being born in the Marquis of Yongning.

Jiang Luyao is Miss Houmen, much higher than Princess Qin's maiden status, she has today, just because she is the princess of Qin.

She respects the title of Princess Qin, but not necessarily you!

When Princess Qin was in the boudoir, she had no commendable talent except for her mother's extreme filial piety, humble sisters, and pure temperament.

After leaving the cabinet, because of her duty, she raised her concubines and gave birth to three sons for King Qin, which made the noblewomen look up to her.

The smile lines in the corners of the old lady's eyes deepened, and her heart, which had already been piled up with ice and snow, was filled with a trace of warmth at this time, "Second girl, come to me." โ€

"Yes, grandmother."

Jiang Luyao's smile at the old lady was much more sincere, her eyes were full of admiration and attachment, which was completely different from her estrangement and 'respect' towards Princess Qin, "You also deliberately asked your mother to change me?" Even if you don't say it, I will come to serve you. โ€

Gently snuggling up to the old lady, Jiang Luyao complained coquettishly to her loved ones: "I know that there are distinguished guests around you, I am afraid of embarrassing you, and I want to come over after the distinguished guests leave, you let people call me...... It seems that I have no conscience, I used to be very good, but today I missed my feet in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, grandmother, you don't care about me. โ€

"Just your mouth will coax people." The old lady couldn't help but clench Jiang Luyao's hand, her palms were wet, just like her mood at this time.

Jiang Luyao smiled, "Let Her Royal Highness the princess see the joke, I am the funny monkey next to my grandmother." โ€

Princess Qin still had a perfect and gentle smile, "The old lady has the second lady to accompany and serve, and her body is better than before." โ€

"It's my duty to serve my grandmother, and I hope that she will live a long life."

This is also the wish of every filial granddaughter.

"After seeing the second lady, I know why the old lady arranged it like this, Baishan filial piety is the head, and there is nothing more important than sincere filial piety."

"The arrangement in Her Royal Highness the Princess's words refers to the matter of my father's named concubine?"

Jiang Luyao's head suddenly had a feeling of being chopped, Nima, pretending to be too much, let Princess Qin grab the handle and put a hand, still with a smile on her face: "There are many people who are filial to grandmother, grandmother has always been soft-hearted, maybe in two days you will have to congratulate grandmother on having an additional son, my father only has filial piety available, and if he wants to stand up for the door, he can't do it, far inferior to uncles." โ€

"In your eyes, the inheritance of King Qin's lineage is more important, you are the same as your grandmother, just because you love your concubine partially, and you will not delay the inheritance of the title."

Jiang Luyao glanced at Zhao Duoyi, you have the ability to move the name of the prince to the head of the beloved concubine?

Princess Qin is a little unable to get off the stage on her face, in the future, the king of Qin will die, the sons of the king of Qin will be separated, and if the princess of Qin wants to continue to stay in the palace of the king of Qin, she will have to look at the face of the prince of Qin...... The concubine she raised, her own son, has no inheritance rights.

With the loyal Yang family as a backer, even if King Qin fell in love with Princess Qin, he would not dare to deprive Zhao Duoze of his title of son.

Princess Qin pitied the old lady today, and tomorrow she doesn't know who will pity her.

The concubines she raised are very competitive, her own sons are young, and some are imperial guards, they must take some risks if they want to make meritorious deeds, who can guarantee that they will not fall into traps or accidents on the road to promotion and wealth?

King Qin's lineage has been remembered by the emperor, and the sons of King Qin are not angry, but if they are too competitive, won't the emperor worry that the new emperor will not be able to suppress it?

What Jiang Luyao can think of, Princess Qin can also think of, for the sake of her good reputation, she doesn't dare to fight for her own sons, so she can only urge them to be more motivated...... Try to create a favorable and safe environment for her sons, in fact, it is not easy for Princess Qin, and her stepmother is an angel with folded wings.

As long as Princess Qin doesn't take the initiative to provoke Jiang Luyao, she won't deliberately make Princess Qin faceless and have a stomachache.

The old lady twisted the Buddha beads leisurely at this time, and she was also angry with the second girl who didn't leave her hands, but how could she be so comfortable to watch her beat others with words.

It's a pity, it's a pity that the second girl married the prince of Qin, the old lady's heart moved slightly, did she help the second girl? No, go and give in to him yourself? Absolutely not!

Zhao Duoyi's eyes flashed with surprise, when did she become sharp-tongued, I don't know how to make people?

"What books has Cousin Jiang read recently?" He couldn't watch his mother being wronged, "Seeing that Cousin Jiang is a clever and intelligent person, I think the old lady has taught you to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and the duty of a famous lady." โ€

That's a bit heavy.

From this, it can be seen that Zhao Duoyi does treat Princess Qin as a mother, that is, in the face of girls who have a good impression, he still stands on Princess Qin's side.

Jiang Luyao's eyebrows raised slightly, and her proud expression was fully revealed, "Should I say that I just know a few words?" โ€

Although the Ming Dynasty is not as demanding on women as the Ming and Qing dynasties in Chinese history, adhering to the principle that women are virtuous if they are not talented, if a woman does not have a talent for poetry, knows a few words, can read the account book, and can write.

Jiang Luyao has the soul of a modern person, graduated from a famous university, is a famous strong woman, a godmother in the fashion industry, she dares to compete with men for a career, can last more than half the sky, even if she is not accomplished in ancient poetry and literature, but let her deny that she has no eyes, just a woman who does not go out of the door and does not step out, and can only play house fighting...... She will feel aggrieved.

"It's a pity that I don't have much talent in poetry and songs, but I have a lot of knowledge in terms of sidelines." Jiang Luyao smiled proudly at Zhao Duoyi: "As for what I will do, I don't need to tell the second prince, I never do paper articles." โ€

The proud, bright, and confident girl is particularly attractive, Zhao Duoyi was a little puzzled in his heart, the girl in front of him was really the one he knew?

If not, why do you think so much about your face? Where did her autumn-like temperament go back then?

"I heard that the Houfu Garden is good, and Cousin Jiang also said that there are a few rare plants in the garden, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to invite the two cousins to enjoy the treasures together? How about calling Cousin Jiang along? โ€

In front of Princess Qin, Jiang Luyao's battle index is off the charts, it is better to transfer this one away, thinking about today, Princess Qin has to think carefully when she goes back, how to deal with Jiang Luyao once she becomes the princess.

The young master of the long room and the second room interjected beside him, "It's okay to go together, we can hold a literary meeting in the back garden, the second prince is brilliant, take this opportunity to ask for advice or two." โ€

Jiang Luyao saw that all his peers were eager to try, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can also enjoy a few masterpieces, but poetry is just a thing to cultivate sentiment, if the second prince is too obsessed with this, I think that Princess Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be slightly disappointed, Her Royal Highness the princess has always had deep hopes for the second prince." โ€

"Do your best and don't disappoint your father, princess and princess."

Zhao Duoyi's temperament is really good, Jiang Luyao glanced at him, and had a good showlike mentality for the prince of Qin, with a perfect stepmother, an affectionate father, and virtuous and filial brothers...... What a sad life this is.

People with a little less willpower can't be driven crazy by this group of relatives?

The old lady nodded and let Jiang Luyao and the others leave, and said to Princess Qin: "The second girl has spoiled me, and if there is something wrong, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me." โ€

"It can be seen that the second lady of your mansion has won the true inheritance of the old lady." Princess Qin's smile did not change, her words were gentle and sincere, "Don't hide it from the old lady, I heard that Jiang Erye was recorded as a concubine, and our prince is quite worried about this, after all, Jiang Erye will always do something surprising, although I believe in the old lady's vision and persuade the prince, but you also know that the prince has the deepest expectations for the prince, and I hope that the prince will get the best in everything...... After meeting the second lady today, I went back to talk to the prince, but I was afraid that the prince could rest assured. โ€

The old lady's eyelids drooped, "Whoever inherits the title, the Jiang family will inevitably give an explanation to Her Royal Highness the Princess this year." โ€

"What? The old lady doesn't want Jiang Erye to be the son of the world? โ€

"The second child is a real child, I don't feel at ease when he is the son of the world, the Jiang family has already climbed the Qin Palace, if it is because the second child makes the prince embarrassed, we will also live up to the love of the old prince."

"The old lady is serious, looking at the demeanor and temperament of the second lady, she doesn't seem to be confused."

Princess Qin drank tea slowly, and was robbed by Jiang Luyao, just because in the Yongning Hou Mansion, if Jiang Luyao entered the Qin Palace...... It's not so easy, it's her stepmother, and she's also her serious mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law pinched her daughter-in-law, but she didn't hold it in her hand?

Before she came, she disliked Jiang Luyao's parents badly, but at this time, Princess Qin was more willing to โ–กโ–ก Jiang Luyao how to be a qualified princess, Jiang Luyao didn't know how to be humble and gentle, she would make the road of King Qin's son more and more difficult.

"Wait for me to discuss it with the Hou Ye, and then talk about it, don't blame the prince for not being happy, it's that I sometimes ...... to the second master of our family I have a headache, which month he doesn't cause trouble, I will recite Buddhism. โ€

Princess Qin and the old lady looked at each other and smiled, they both understood how out of tune Second Master Jiang was, but he had raised an excellent and good daughter.

The old lady didn't want to marry Jiang Luyao to the Qin Palace, and she was reluctant to let her arrogant granddaughter fall into the trouble of the Qin Palace.

Jiang Luyao should have a more perfect and happy life, and be in harmony with each other's loved, talented and learned husbands until they grow old.

The flowers in the back garden of the Hou Mansion are blooming brightly, in the water pavilion, fresh melons, fruits, pears and peaches are placed, and there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the long table on the side, and several cousins of Jiang Luyao surround Zhao Duoyi, either to show off their literary talents, or to ask Zhao Duoyi to write a few words.

"I heard that the words of the second prince are the essence of the calligraphy of His Royal Highness King Qin, and the calligraphy saints have praised it." Jiang Luzhu blocked her mouth with a fan, and a pair of watery eyes swept over the second prince who was as warm as the son of the turbid world, "Isn't the second sister tempted?" โ€

Jiang Luyao leaned on the pillar of the water pavilion, facing the lake sideways, and sprinkled the fish food into the water, and the goldfish raised in the water gathered together and competed for the fish food...... She also watched the goldfish fascinated.

"Second Sister ......"

"Do you think their brothers look like fish food that has been sprinkled into a pond? attracted the ladies of the capital to scramble, for fear of missing a rich and rich. โ€

"What do you mean by that? How can a person who loves only think about riches? โ€

"Aside from their identity, would you still like it?"

Jiang Luyao glanced at Jiang Luzhu and said lightly: "There is nothing to be ashamed of liking a rich and noble husband, poor couples are in decline, and no one is willing to work hard for a lifetime, but whether you can make wealth last a long time depends on your personal ability." Regardless of whether the third sister is in love with the prince of Qin or the second prince, I can't help, so I can only wish the third sister all her wishes come true. โ€

"I don't believe that the second sister didn't think about marrying the prince."

Jiang Luzhu was jealous, and her eyes widened with hatred, "What is the second uncle, who doesn't know?" Who of the nobles in the capital is willing to marry the second uncle? I'm not afraid that the second sister will be angry, that is, my father will not be the son of the world, and I am still the daughter of the waiter. โ€

She pursed her lips arrogantly, full of sarcasm, "I'm afraid that the poor show may not be able to take a fancy to Jiang Erye!" โ€

Jiang Luyao's eyes were indifferent, not angry or happy, as if Jiang Luzhu was not talking about the second room, "Do you believe it or not, there are many people who want to worship my father as a father-in-law but can't get it?" Even if you are a waiter's daughter, you are still a person who is chosen by others, and you have no right to choose your husband, and I have always chosen others, only I give up, and no one can choose me...... Even if it is the prince of Qin, it is the same. โ€

After saying this, Jiang Luyao got up and walked out of the water pavilion, Zhao Duoyi, who was writing at the long table, looked up, and just saw her figure in front of the flowers, her bright facial features were a little more soft and charming against the backdrop of the delicate flowers, but the heroic arrogance between the eyebrows was still so conspicuous...... What was it that changed her?

After turning the corner, Jiang Luyao happened to bump into Jiang Luqi, who was standing behind the shadow wall of the cloister and secretly looking at the water pavilion, "Why are you here?" โ€

Jiang Luqi was surprised, and she was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of Jiang Luyao, she categorically did not expect Jiang Luyao to leave the water pavilion at this time, it is said that she will not miss the opportunity to meet the second prince of Qin......

After all, they had hazy feelings in their previous life, if it weren't for what happened later, maybe Jiang Luyao would have been...... Jiang Luqi's heart is even more uneven, why can Jiang Luyao be loved by the two best men?

No matter how much she performs, in Zhao Duoyi's eyes, she is just a stupid sister-in-law...... is still a frivolous woman with watery poplars.

"Why did the second sister leave suddenly? Is the second prince bad? โ€

"It's none of what I'm better or worse for."

Jiang Luyao is really fed up with Jiang Luqi's kind of I am hurt, you hurt me, I am very envious, very uneven eyes, "If you care, you will go to the water pavilion generously, peek here, once you miss the opportunity, you will complain again, although women should be shy, but if you meet someone you care about, you might as well fight for it with the permission of the religion, success or failure may only depend on whether you have the courage to ...... Even if you fail, it also proves that you have worked hard and will not regret it in the future. โ€

Jiang Luqi's face was red, and she roared angrily: "You don't know anything!" โ€

"I just need to know what I should do now, does the fourth sister really know everything?"

Jiang Luqi saw her leave calmly, and also caught a glimpse of Zhao Duoyi's different gaze......

The author has something to say: strive for 5,000 words a day in the future, and look forward to the support of relatives.
