The decree of marriage was transmitted from the palace ban to the Wen family, and the news also flew all the way to Kyoto with the eunuchs who passed the decree.

At most, the ordinary people only used the marriage of the princess of the heavenly family as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, but the courtiers who were secretly watching had their own decisions.

Looking for trouble with Jiang Qiao, Wen Shaojie is only the first.

Jiang Qiao calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, and when he returned to the Taicang Office, Wen Shaojie had already left. He would take a step into the threshold, and his gaze would stop on the messy desk.

The paper was scattered all over the ground, and the thick black ink was pasted on it, and the handwriting on it was no longer clear; The table toppled to the floor, smashing his chair in the process, and sawdust was scattered everywhere.

The table was kicked down by Wen Shaojie as he watched it, as for these torn account books......

Jiang Qiao swept over the three officials lightly, and reserved his opinion on this issue. Wen Shaojie is stubborn and self-serving, his eyes are above the top, although he inevitably has a bad temper and is disgusting, he still has the bearing of a good family, Jiang Qiao feels that he will not have this shrewd behavior.

And if it weren't for Wen Shaojie, then this matter would be very interesting.

The three little officials used to be very courteous and respectful to him, but now they turned a blind eye to him, and no one helped him sort out the mess, which was really snobbish to the extreme. Jiang Qiao chuckled, called the servants outside the door to clean up the mess, and slowly paced back and forth in front of the three-person table.

He paced slowly and methodically, looking calm and relaxed, without the slightest gloom of a worrying future, which made the three of them secretly beat the drum in their hearts.

Yes. Her Royal Highness the princess has always been favored and connived by Her Majesty, and she is reluctant to even kiss her, and the tiger talisman is also given as she says, and Her Royal Highness brought this lowly man back to Beijing with a swagger, and slapped the Wen family in the face! Although His Majesty made a decree to give marriage and gave the princess to General Wen, he didn't say that the princess would be far away from Jiangqiao! Looking at Wen Shaojie's aggressive appearance of coming to Taicang to find fault, doesn't it mean that the princess's heart is towards Jiang Qiao!

Jiang Qiao may have nothing to do with the holy decree and the Wen family, but according to his current status as the Taicang order, it is still possible to kill a few small officials, and he doesn't even have to blow the pillow wind.

Wei Zhong is a small official who is responsible for checking the accounts, and the Taicang Department has been mixed for 20 years, and there is no one on the side, but the ability to see the wind and make the rudder is superb, plus the ability to bend and stretch. After pondering the taste for a moment, he immediately turned his face to Jiang Qiao and smiled, and said in a loud voice: "The placket of the adult's clothes is full of ink stains, there is nothing to do in the department now, and this table, chair and bench also needs to be added, the adult may wish to go back to the house first to change his clothes, Da Si Nong is the most sympathetic to his subordinates, and he will definitely not blame." ”

Yes, this is the man of the Great Si Nong. Jiang Qiao knew it from the bottom of his heart, nodded to him with a smile, and walked to the table in the corner.

"Li Qing." Jiang Qiao shouted, and the person behind the table raised his eyes and looked at him contemptuously, revealing a fat face with purple sauce.

Li Qing didn't say anything, so he didn't see Jiang Qiao at all, and continued to lower his head and fugue, which was a bit tricky.

Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingers twice on his smooth tabletop.

Li Qing's eyes were already full of anger when he looked at him again, and he asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter, my lord?" ”

"You are in charge of the collection and storage of millet in the warehouse?" Jiang Qiao said idly, "You have also seen that the account books of this official have been destroyed by General Wen, and immediately Lord Sinong should report to His Majesty that the warehouse is stored in the warehouse, and the official is newly appointed, and he doesn't know anything about this, Lord Qian is preparing to return to his hometown, and it is not good to bother him, this matter will be handed over to you, after all, those who can work hard!" ”

Without waiting for Li Qing to speak, Jiang Qiao waved his sleeves, glanced at Fang Hanshan, who had never had a sense of existence, without a trace, and strode dashingly to leave a distant back.

East Palace.

The wind slowly blows open a pool of clear water, and the colorful and colorful swimming fish chase the bait and swing their tails happily, occasionally pouting and spitting a few bubbles, making the woman sitting quietly by the pool smile softly.

Qi Sheng approached with a thin cloak, staring at the reflection of Manli Qianying on the water surface and sighed: "Ah Jiang has grown up." ”

"Brother." Qi Jianghao raised his wrist lightly, and a grain of fish food fell into the pool, causing a wave, "It's windy here, let's go in." ”

His handsome face was pale, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and he was still very weak at the beginning of his serious illness, which could not be reassured. Facing the subtle worry in the pair of water autumn pupils, Qi Sheng took the girl's hand, and the two of them walked slowly side by side on the stone path.

After walking for a while, Qi Sheng pondered and said: "Shaojie and you are cousins, and there is a layer of blood bonding, so it will not be bad for you." ”

His gaze fell on Qi Jiang's lightly trembling crow-blue eyelashes, increasing the force in his hand, and then said: "Shaojie has been interested in you since you were a child, but you and Sanchun often play together, so you have less contact. He has also returned from Liaoyang now, and my father may not send him out of Beijing again, and it will be convenient for you to return to the palace in the future. ”

"No matter what, my brother is waiting for you in the palace."

Qi Jiang hung his head, his eyes fell on the pearl on the tip of his shoe, and replied lightly: "I just gave the marriage, and there is still a year before the marriage." ”

Qi Sheng's face showed a bit of sternness: "I've been sick, and you can't come to the palace all the time, so I haven't bothered to ask you, what's going on with that Jiang Qiao and you?" I don't believe that you, like other royal sisters, like raising male pets to indulge in lust! ”

"Jiang Qiao is not a male pet."

Qi Jiang stopped and looked straight at Qi Sheng, "He saved my brother and saved me!" ”

"But after all, he came from a humble background," Qi Sheng pressed step by step, "Lone is the king, he is a great Qi people, whether it is to save the emperor of the first dynasty or the prince, it is his duty!" You can reward him, give him money, fame, and official titles, but never include the reputation of my princess of Daqi! ”

Qi Jiang pursed the corners of his lips and stubbornly refused to back down: "Without him, I would die!" What more reputation does a dead princess have! ”

"Qi Jiang!"

Coughing a few times, Qi Sheng restrained the anger in his heart, and patiently persuaded: "He has already made the Taicang order, and you have also given him enough momentum, and if others want to move him in the future, they will weigh it more, and the father will also be more tolerant of him in your face." He can have such an achievement as a reckless man in the mountains, which is enough to glorify his ancestors. Even if you have the heart to praise him, you must be able to stand firm on his own, and with his origin and talents, he will not be able to convince the public. ”

"And," he added, "Shaojie's temper is categorically intolerable for you to have anything to do with him." ”

"Brother." Qi Jiang closed his eyelashes lightly, like a water bird gathering its wings, "Even if there is no Jiang Qiao, even if I obediently marry Wen Shaojie, the Wen family will not belong to us." ”

There was a faint tiredness in her soft voice, and her thin body was a little overwhelmed, "No matter how Liu Xiang and his grandfather fight, they all support Cheng Wang." ”

Because he has both the blood of the Wen family and the Liu family, and is healthier and younger.

"Lin Jiajun is the henchman left by the emperor's grandfather, and Grandpa Lin and Brother Sanchun must be on our side; Although Mr. Qian has resigned, the prestige of the court is still there, and he can be regarded as helping to win over a group of scholars; Zuo Huaiqing's attitude is ambiguous, but the discord between the three princes has long existed, and he will at least not become the king. After a pause, Qi Jiang continued: "As for the families in Beijing, the restless ones are all indulged in pleasure and unwilling to mix, so we have at least half of the winning side. ”

The crown princess is pregnant, and after the prince has it, she can add another percent.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant, so my brother should accompany her more."

Without wanting to say more, Qi Jiang clasped his hands in his long wide sleeves, turned around and strode outside the palace.

The summer breeze blew the green willows, and the green silk swayed, stroking Qi Sheng's shoulders and hair one by one, bringing a slight itch.

He stood alone for a long time, until Pang Wanyue came to him, "Your Highness is not happy?" ”

"What's so unhappy about being lonely." Qi Sheng stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Ah Jiang doesn't need to be kind, you also have a child, and it is the happiest and happiest time for Lone." ”

Pang Wanyue sighed faintly, shook Qi Sheng's arm and whispered, "Your Highness is worried about the princess." ”

Qi Sheng didn't speak, so she continued: "The Wen family is powerful, but they still refuse to rein in, I don't know when there will be a disobedient heart, the princess marries the past, I really don't know if it's better than being close." And now there is another Taicang order, and he still lives in the princess's mansion in a grand manner, according to Wen Shaojie's domineering temperament, I am afraid that he will complain about the princess. ”

"Wanyue ......" Qi Sheng's brows furrowed.

Pang Wanyue chuckled, "That's what Your Highness thinks in your heart, right?" But how did His Royal Highness forget that the princess is a descendant of the emperor himself, and she is the emperor of the Great Qi Hall, if Jiang Qiao is really as unbearable as rumored, how can the princess fall in love with him? ”

"Lonely, it's not because Jiang Qiao is angry." Qi Sheng rubbed his dull forehead, "It's just that he has great ability, and it is impossible to shake the Wen family." Ah Jiang is going to marry Wen Shaojie after all, not to mention it for the time being, at least before the Wen family rebels, we must make Ah Jiang's life more comfortable. She fought with Wen Shaojie for a man like this, and she was the one who suffered in the future. ”

That's right. Pang Wanyue nodded.

Qi Sheng smiled bitterly, "It's just that Ah Jiang seems to have misunderstood what I meant, thinking that I wanted to rely on her to win over the Wen family." ”

"The princess probably wouldn't think so." Pang Wanyue shook her head, "The brother-sister relationship between the princess and Her Royal Highness can be easily affected. ”

"I hope so."
