Chapter 449: Clown
Jiang Qiyan chuckled and said, "The daughter of a military general, she loves to dance with knives and sticks. I'm afraid that when she receives this letter, she will only mock the five princes and will not come to the capital. ”
Hongxing was puzzled: "Why? This marriage is a great honor given by the emperor, besides, many families are not willing to marry the daughter of a military general as a wife, and the emperor is willing to give this marriage, even if she doesn't like the five princes, what Wang Youwei did was a provocation to her after all. The slave felt that she should not be able to swallow this breath. ”
Tao Yao chuckled.
Hongxing blushed and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Could it be that I am wrong? ”
Tao Yao nodded and said, "It's not that I'm wrong. ”
Hongxing was very unconvinced.
But her little head really can't think of it, where did she say it wrong?
She ignored Tao Yao and stared at Jiang Qiyan with blank eyes, hoping that Jiang Qiyan, whom she trusted, could give her a satisfactory explanation.
Jiang Qiyan looked at Hong Xing with embarrassment, and said: "What you said is right, but I have heard from the prince that this woman named Ye Qingya, although she acts informally, her mother is from a big family, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." But because of this, she wants to choose her own son-in-law, and her family has agreed. But she didn't expect her father's marriage letter to come down, which made her fall into a dilemma. ”
Although the red apricot is not very smart, she has a strong comprehension.
As soon as she pondered in her heart, she knew what Jiang Qiyan meant by this?
She said happily: "It seems that even if this fifth prince is the emperor and noble, there are still women in the world who don't like him." I just don't know if this Miss Ye will be able to get out of the sea of suffering after this incident. ”
Tao Yao knocked her on the forehead, and said angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to say that the royal family is like a sea of bitterness." Fortunately, I said in front of us, if it was in front of the prince, maybe you would be beaten by the prince. ”
Hong Xing's face turned pale with fright, her hands hugged her tightly, and she said with a frightened face: "The prince will not make a move on my little girl like you said." It is clear that you have bad intentions and are trying to use the anger of the prince to target me. Tao Yao, I really didn't expect you to be such a ruthless person, princess, look at Tao Yao, she has been by your side for a long time, and she wants to get rid of the slave maid. ”
When Tao Yao heard this, she cooperated: "Who told you to always rob me of my things on weekdays, and now that you are in my hands, of course I have to teach you a good lesson, then you understand what to do and what not to do." ”
Jiang Qiyan looked at the pair of living treasures in front of her, singing and harmonizing, just like singing a big opera.
She chuckled and shook her head, "I see that you two have been too idle lately, that's why you are making such a joke in front of me, hurry up and return to normal, I still have a lot of things for you two to do." ”
Tao Yao and Hong Xing looked at each other and smiled, both a little embarrassed.
"Slave maid go to the kitchen now and bring pigeon soup." Hongxing said a word and immediately ran away.
Tao Yao was helpless, so she could only wait by Jiang Qiyan's side, rubbing her shoulder, and waiting for Jiang Qiyan's orders.
Jiang Qiyan wanted to wave her hand to let her go, but Tao Yao's kneading strength was too comfortable, so she had to let her work hard.
When the pigeon soup was drunk, Wei Zeyin came over with the news from Tianyi's investigation.
"The people that Aunt Yong'an wants to investigate are all the wives of senior officials above the third grade, but among the few people, only one is alive."
Wei Zeyin put the news into a book, and after finishing speaking, he handed over all the clues he wrote down to Jiang Qiyan.
"Only one survived?" Jiang Qiyan was full of doubts, "The one who is alive is the wife of a cabinet scholar." I have heard that the Cabinet Scholar is very good to his wife, and the affection between the two is enough to make the world envious. The others, however, were married to non-human beings, who experienced intrigue in the backyard, were haggard and exhausted, and in only 20 years, they did not leave a single heir, and all died. Lord Wang, I think this is too strange, I don't know if you have sent someone to investigate. ”
Wei Zeyin bowed his head and said: "I also think this is a little strange, so I sent someone to inquire." It was discovered that these people did die in the battle of the back house. As for the fact that they did not leave any heirs, it was because they themselves were vicious and attacked their husband's concubines, and they were attacked against them. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qiyan frowned, and thought for a long time before she spoke: "The wife of the cabinet scholar is the wife of the first rank of the emperor. Aunt Yong'an is back, if the relationship between the two of them is good, she is feasting in the wind, and she should take the initiative to find Aunt Yong'an. However, Aunt Yong'an made a special trip to the side hall, and no one went to see her at all except for our husband and wife. Then the wife of this well-praised cabinet scholar, I'm afraid there is something wrong. ”
She paused in her tone and continued: "Especially these people mentioned by Aunt Yong'an, when they are not out of the boudoir, they have a very good relationship. In the early days of marriage, they also often visited the house to maintain a relationship. It doesn't make sense, all the other ladies died because of poisoning their husband's concubine, leaving her only happy and full of children and grandchildren. ”
However, no matter how much doubt there is, it is necessary to investigate the changes in the relationship between these people over the past 20 years.
This will consume a lot of Wei Zeyin's manpower and material resources, and if you are not careful, it will also attract the attention of people with a heart.
It's a bit more than worth the cost.
Jiang Qiyan thought of this, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
"As soon as Aunt Yong'an came back, it really gave us a big problem."
However, this is a big problem, and the couple has to solve it.
After all, the eldest princess of Yong'an knew about Wei Zeyin's mother, and she had a bad relationship with the queen mother.
"The next time you go to the palace, you tell Aunt Yongan the news." Wei Zeyin pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Yong'an is the queen of the Fence Country, even if she has been away from the capital for many years, she can also use the Fence to investigate some past events. ”
Jiang Qiyan smiled and said, "Hearing you say this, I suddenly realized that Aunt Yong'an asked us to investigate these people, and it is very likely that she was just trying to embarrass us." ”
Wei Zeyin's pupils shrank.
Jiang Qiyan's white hand tapped a few times on the table, and sighed: "Maybe it's because of the concubine, she wants to test us and get some clues from us." If we do well, maybe she can work with us. ”
"It's just your guess." When Wei Zeyin heard this, he also felt that this was the case.
But the eldest princess of Yong'an has been away for so many years, and this time she came back, it is very likely that the queen mother wrote a letter to her to come back.
They haven't figured out whether there is an opportunity for reconciliation between the eldest princess of Yong'an and the queen mother, and rash contact will only expose themselves.
