Jiang Qingchen was also present at the time, and secretly scolded himself a hundred times.
After that, the emperor also gave Jiang Qingchen a reward, saying that it was a credit for protecting the princess from being injured. Jiang Qingchen really wanted to say, can the emperor give me a reward? There is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry in my family. I just wanted to change my name.
Things have come to this point, the emperor has read the list, and the princess blocked the excuse of not attending the queen's banquet. This time, Yun Xiangrong must participate, and there is no way to hide.
The only thing I am glad about is that I just said hello to Qing Anbo, and I made it very clear that this matter is not too easy to do, and it must be that he let his granddaughter enter the palace to participate in the queen's banquet. Qing Anbo understands that it is just a cheap one, and he will not tell anyone before he gets it, and talking nonsense will only cause trouble for himself.
If you have to enter the palace, there is also a strategy to deal with it.
After Jiang Qingchen entered the Changping Waiting Mansion, he went back to his residence first and changed his clothes, mainly because he didn't think about how to talk to Yun Xiangrong, he still had to say what he had to say, and he couldn't hide from it.
Jiang Qingchen heard the maid say that Yun Xiangrong's state was fine, and he couldn't see that he was frightened, but he hadn't gone out in the past few days. It turned out that Jiang Xinxin took Yun Xiangrong to go shopping, but it was also postponed indefinitely.
Yun Xiangrong wants to say that he was a little stimulated, but if he wants to say that he has psychological trauma, then it is not enough, it is just that such a big thing has just entered the capital, and it takes a little time to slow down.
But it wasn't that she didn't want to go shopping, and it wasn't that Jiang Xinxin didn't want to, but that Yun Xue didn't agree. Yun Xue didn't think that there was a big thing in the princess's mansion at that time, but when she heard other ladies talk about it, that is, the mother of the noble girl who was present that day, she felt terrible.
What Mrs. and Yun Xue mainly want to express is not terrible, it is Yun Xue's stepson Jiang Qingchen who is mighty, and her daughter is very moved to watch. I want to take the opportunity to test whether Jiang Qingchen has any plans to get married.
By the way, the horror atmosphere is exaggerated, not to scare Yun Xue, but to show Jiang Qingchen's heroism.
The speaker has no intention of listening, but Yun Xue doesn't sound like this, she feels that this time it is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and Yun Xiangrong has nothing to do, after all, this princess flower appreciation banquet was set by herself.
To put it mildly, the Yun family is Yun Xue's most solid back, no matter what Yun Xue needs, the Yun family is doing their best, Yun Chengyuan is just this baby daughter, Yun Xue Jue, as long as Yun wants to stay safely in the capital, it is better than anything else.
It's okay for girls to go out for a walk, not only to bring guards, but also to let their sons accompany them, Jiang Qingchen, Yun Xue didn't expect it, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home for dinner.
Jiang Xi'an himself asked, he has been a little busy recently, and he can accompany his sisters to walk around after being busy. So the two sisters' plan to go out for a walk ran aground.
Jiang Xinxin said to Yun Xiangrong, don't worry, Ye Haiqing will return to Beijing soon and let him take the sisters out, and then his mother will have no reason to object.
Yun Xiangrong doesn't go out often in Jiangnan, and Aunt Hou's cousin doesn't let her go out, so she doesn't come out, and she doesn't have any disappointment. Reading books in the Hou Mansion, dancing and writing are also quite fulfilling, and Jiang Xinxin and himself are also very interesting, I don't think it's boring.
Before the Jiang family participated in the queen's banquet, letting Yun Xiangrong participate, it was also a means of self-protection in the officialdom. It's just a change of direction.
The prince becomes the son of heaven, and the princess is very important. The prince is about the same age as Jiang Qingchen, and he has never decided on the crown princess, just weighing the power of the DPRK and China. Several noble girls in the DPRK and China are also eighteen, and they are not married, and they are also waiting for this opportunity.
The Jiang family is the direct family of the prince, if Jiang Xinxin does not have a marriage match, he will participate, but it is impossible to become the crown princess, because the Jiang family is already ***, it is impossible to be close to each other at this time, and besides, the court will not allow the queens of the two dynasties to have a kinship, which is harmful to the country.
If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will accept a concubine, and there must be relatives of the Jiang family. At this time, Jiang Qingchen will do his best to help those Jiang family women who want to enter the palace and fight for a place. But not now, going now is just adding to the chaos, and it will make outsiders see the joke.
Of course, there are marriageable women in the Jiang family's side, but in order to show others that the Jiang family has no intention of fighting for the crown princess, they will let Yun Xiangrong go, a woman surnamed Yun who has no foundation in the capital.
But who would have thought that Yun wanted Rong Meicheng to be like this, at this time, if it was said that there was no special arrangement, it was just a coincidence, not to mention that outsiders saw it, even the Jiang family didn't believe it, this was because they knew that they couldn't get the crown princess, so they insisted on coming to get the position of a side concubine.
Jiang Qingchen didn't want Yun Xiangrong to be a side concubine, the official explanation was that Yun Xiangrong was too simple and not suitable, and the real thought in his heart was that when he thought that Yun Xiangrong was going to marry someone else, he was very unhappy.
That day, he took Yun Xiangrong to break out of the encirclement, although it was for fishing, but Jiang Qingchen was also thinking about Yun Xiangrong, Mrs. Hou Mansion was not someone who could be anything, he needed to see Yun Xiangrong's courage.
Objectively speaking, it is satisfying, and it is not easy for a female dependent who is deeply raised in the boudoir to manage her emotions well and not cause chaos to others at such a time of crisis.
It's just that the process is more difficult than expected, and I have been injured in many places, and now I regret it when I think of it, the encounter that day must have stimulated Yun Xiangrong a lot, such a smart girl, she would definitely think about why Jiang Xinxin was not injured when she stood out from the encirclement. That way is still pointed out by my cousin.
I was brought out by my cousin himself, but it was so thrilling.
If you really want to ask, you can only insist that you are unlucky.
Jiang Qingchen walked to the courtyard where Yun Xiangrong's mother and daughter lived. This is Jiang Qingchen's first time here, and he asked the housekeeper before coming, the men of the Jiang family are all the same, they are all indifferent to the affairs of the inner courtyard, but the Hou Ye is a leader and is indifferent to the things outside.
Just wanted to ask someone to report that he wanted to see Yun Xiangrong, but he saw Yun Xiangrong's mother and daughter sitting in the courtyard talking, and it seemed that Yun Xiangrong was in a good state.
Mrs. Yun was also very surprised by Jiang Qingchen's arrival. I don't come back on time for normal meals, so why didn't I come back without dinner today.
After Jiang Qingchen politely greeted Mrs. Yun, he said: "Uncle, I have some small things, I want to ask my cousin Rong for a favor, but this matter involves the royal family, and it is not easy for too many people to know, but if my cousin is reluctant, I will never force it." ”
Mrs. Yun's influence on Jiang Qingchen is very good, Yun Xue has also said a lot of things to him in the past few days, she knows that the current prospects of the Jiang family all depend on Jiang Qingchen's development.
Mrs. Yun nodded, and the person walked out of her room.
Yun Xiangrong was very surprised, this cousin who saved his life a few days ago didn't speak at the time, and at this moment, he actually asked himself, how could he still have a relationship with the royal family.
Jiang Qingchen looked at Xia Yun Xiangrong carefully at this moment, and concluded that it was indeed too beautiful, and it must not be seen by the prince.
Yun Xiangrong was a little overwhelmed by what to look at, so he asked, "Cousin, do you want me to help with anything?" ”
Jiang Qingchen retracted his mind and told him about the current situation of the Jiang family and the fact that he had to attend the queen's banquet. The Jiang family currently has no suitable woman to see the queen's banquet, and hopes that Yun Xiangrong will help to participate, just go through the motions. If Yun Xiangrong is unwilling to go, he will immediately refuse.
Yun Xiangrong thought for a while and said: "Cousin, although I just came to the capital, I don't understand many of the etiquettes in the capital, but I don't think it's appropriate for me to go, after all, I'm just the daughter of an imperial businessman." There is a lot of difference in identity, and I am afraid that I will embarrass the Hou Mansion if I go. ”
Jiang Qingchen didn't expect that this girl still had a clear idea. Obviously, she said a bunch of nonsense reasons, and she understood them all.
"It's definitely unrealistic to be a crown princess, but with the relationship of the Marquis of Changping, if you want to be a side concubine, do you want to be a side concubine?" Jiang Qingchen didn't seem to care, but he actually asked very concernedly.
"I don't want to, I don't think I'm suitable, I don't like and I'm not good at intrigue, jealousy." Yun Xiangrong said directly.
"Then it's simple, basically go and say hello, get sick halfway, and come back." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Cousin, this is not good, if it is discovered, it will be a big crime. I hadn't been to the palace and I didn't think I would like it, but it shouldn't be hard to stay for a few days. Yun Xiangrong said.
"This matter is mainly my problem, I didn't give you the time to prepare, you need to show your talent to enter the palace, I haven't told you, the time is so rushed, there is no talent preparation but the Changping Marquis Mansion is ugly." Jiang Qingchen said.
Yun Xiangrong wanted to say very much, I can take the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I don't need to prepare deliberately, but seeing that Jiang Qingchen is very persistent, maybe people have other ideas, royal affairs, don't ask too much.
Yun Xiangrong fell into deep thought. Jiang Qingchen knew that this girl was a person with her own ideas, and many things needed time to think.
Jiang Qingchen can avoid many things and talk to Yun Xiangrong lightly, but he will definitely not lie to her, he has already thought about it, if Yun Xiangrong is really unwilling, he will refuse the prince on the grounds that Yun Xiangrong is sick, and it is impossible to change people, so he will be cheeky and ask for sick leave.
After a while, Yun Xiangrong said, "Cousin, you mean that you want me to go to a banquet and don't do anything, just the palace." ”
Jiang Qingchen really felt that she was underestimating Yun Xiangrong, and she didn't think it was a matter for her to say this.
"Yes, but be cautious and careful in the palace with a bunch of strangers." Jiang Qingchen said.
"If you're not afraid of me making a fool of myself, then I'll go." Yun Xiangrong said.
Yun Xiangrong was so refreshing, Jiang Qingchen was still a little disappointed at the moment for some reason, he actually didn't want Yun Xiangrong to go.
I hadn't seen Yun Xiangrong before, and I gave my name without his permission, and I didn't feel anything at the time, and I still felt in my heart that going to the palace to participate in a banquet was the dream of many ordinary girls.
I had contact with Yun Xiangrong, although my initial idea was that I was afraid that she would become the prince's concubine, but after knowing a little about Yun Xiangrong, I knew that this girl was unwilling to participate in this kind of banquet, and promised that she was completely concerned about face.
In this way, my previous behavior was very rude.
Is Yun Xiangrong willing to go? Of course not. But she has seen the difficulty of her father being the head of the family since she was a child, and she understands Jiang Qingchen's difficulties very well.
Besides, Jiang Qingchen said very clearly before, after entering the palace, he treated himself as a dumb person, not talking, not asking, and not watching.
Let you learn the rules, let you eat something, ask the people in the palace, you can reply simply, never say a word, if you don't know, just say you don't know.
You can do all of this yourself.
