Chapter 221: The Imperial Garden
Jiang Xiaoyu took the letter, did not intend to read the contents, but put it into his arms, looked at Jiang Youran and said sincerely: "Thank you, really!" ”
Jiang Youran lowered his eyes and said softly, "I just did what my grandfather asked me to do!" ”
"Although I don't know the content of the letter for the time being, I accept your heart!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I should say thank you to you!" ”
"Grandpa also said that if this letter really has to reach you!" Jiang Youran continued, "It means that the Qin family has reached a time of no return, he hopes that you can definitely save your cousin's life, he said that he can't let you make a guarantee about this, he is just begging you!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's lips pursed slightly.
Jiang Youran continued: "Eldest sister, I know that the Qin family has a place where you can't live with you, but now that my grandfather has also gone, my cousin is the only blood and blood of the Qin family, so you can take his life!" ”
"I can't guarantee that he'll survive!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I'll do my best!" ”
"Thank you, big sister!"
Although Jiang Xiaoyu took some care of Jiang Youran, in the final analysis, the two of them have not yet gotten along well, and the things that happened between the two of them are afraid that there will not be a truly uneventful day. At this moment, the three of them did not speak in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu were talking about some trivial things in a low voice, Jiang leisurely looked at the outside of the carriage, and his eyes didn't dare to stay on Zhao Ling's body!
After a while, I saw the carriage stop in front of the palace, and the three of them got off the car and walked to the imperial garden! But he didn't expect to meet the eldest princess and her party on the road.
Jiang Yiran was by the eldest princess's side, looking obedient and well-behaved, but there was no resentment in her eyes, and the eldest grandson Chi walked at the back.
The two teams stopped to greet each other, and Zhao Ling smiled slightly: "Auntie came early!" This person is in good spirits on happy occasions, aunt, you just had a daughter-in-law, and there will be another daughter-in-law soon, what a gratifying congratulations! ”
The eldest princess laughed: "What about me, are you too?" This day flies quickly, the New Year is over in a blink of an eye, and the marriage of the two of you is also on the agenda in the second half of the year! ”
The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Youran again, patted the back of Jiang Yiran's hand and said, "I almost forgot, you three are sisters!" Although Yiran and the Jiang family have no secular relationship, but this flesh and blood is always between flesh and blood, and it is not easy to meet today, but we have to talk about it well! You don't have to be by my side anymore, talk to your sisters! ”
"Yes!" Jiang Yiran lowered her eyes and said, she took two steps forward, "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" Are your father and grandmother okay? Her gaze swept to Jiang Xiaoyu, the jealousy in her eyes flashed, and the nails in her sleeves were rigidly embedded in her palms.
"Very good!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "If you are free, come to the Jiang family and walk around, my father and grandmother will definitely be very happy!" ”
"Good!" Jiang Yiran said softly, "Another day, I will definitely go back to Jiang Mansion!" The eldest sister has changed so much, I almost didn't recognize it! I'm so happy for my eldest sister! Now that the eldest sister and the prince are standing together, they are really talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair! The son of the world is really a good vision, what a blessing! ”
"The third sister is too good!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Now that the third sister is newly married to the Hou Mansion, the whole person looks different, and now this gesture is full of luxury!" ”
The two sisters agreed with each other, Jiang Youran just looked at the two of them, didn't speak, and didn't know who to help speak.
At this time, Jiang Yiran suddenly said to Jiang Youran: "Several times I invited the second sister to come to the Hou Mansion for a gathering, but the second sister refused, is the second sister blaming the little sister?" ”
"Nope!" Jiang Youran hurriedly said, "It's too late for me to be happy for you?" How can I blame you? ”
"The second sister's appearance is much more gloomy than before!" Jiang Yiran glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Did something happen that made the second sister's personality change greatly?" Second sister, you have to remember that the little sister will stand behind you no matter what, so don't be afraid at any time, if you have any difficulties, just tell me! I'll call the shots for you, if I can't be the master, the eldest princess is here! ”
"Nope!" Jiang Youran hurriedly said, "Where do I have any difficulties?" It's not the same as before, I'm fine now, you just have to live your own life, leave me alone! My father and grandmother are here, so what can I do? ”
"We are relatives now, and we should move more between relatives!" The eldest princess said, "If you are free, come to the Hou Mansion to move around a lot, don't really let the two families have no contact!" ”
"Good!"
Coincidentally, a few people were talking when they saw Zhao Qian and Qiwen County Lord coming over.
Zhao Qian shook his jade bone fan, and glanced at Changsun Chi with an unkind look, while the county lord Qiwen lowered his head shyly, and slowly came to the eldest princess and Changsun Chi, and saluted: "I've seen the eldest princess, I've seen the general!" ”
The eldest princess kindly took the hand of the county lord of Qiwen and said with a smile: "I watched you grow up this child, and now you are going to become my daughter-in-law, it's really fate!" ”
A touch of pink floated on the face of the county lord of Qiwen, glanced at the eldest grandson, bit his lip and said, "I listen to my mother and the queen mother!" ”
Jiang Yiran had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes couldn't help but show jealousy, she looked at the county lord Qiwen coldly, and her eyes became more and more cold.
"That's a bargain, you kid!" Zhao Qian shook his fan and said, "This king is such a good sister, she actually wants to marry you!" You have to treat her well, if you dare to be sorry for her, this king will not let you go! ”
"King Jin rest assured!" The eldest grandson Chi clenched his fists and said, "I promise you, I will treat the county lord well!" ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at the county lord Qiwen, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Jiang Yiran, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, and under his deep complexion, he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
The group went to the Imperial Garden, and by this time it was completely dark, and the lanterns on both sides of the path had been lit.
The eldest princess walked in the front as an elder, Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian were bickering and enlivening the atmosphere, the county lord Qiwen shyly followed the eldest grandson Chi to ask all these questions, and the three Jiang Xiaoyu sisters walked in the back.
"Why doesn't the third sister seem to want to see the county lord of Qiwen very much?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a light smile.
"How is that possible? I've known Lord Qiwen for so many years, and I'm not happy that she can become my sister-in-law! Jiang Yiran said with a smile.
"If only you really thought so in your heart!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had missed some important information.
"Second sister, you have repeatedly rejected me, have you already chosen the eldest sister, and then become my enemy?" Jiang Yiran suddenly asked in a cold whisper.
Jiang Youran's back stiffened: "They are all sisters, why bother?" ”
"Why bother?" Jiang Yiran sneered, "It seems that you have really forgotten about your mother's death!" Do you need me to remind you how your mother died? Maybe my grandfather's death is inseparable from Jiang Xiaoyu, you have forgotten all this, and then you have to be a sister to Jiang Xiaoyu? ”
"That's not the case, grandpa's death has nothing to do with her!" Jiang leisurely distinguished.
"You know something!" Jiang Yiran grabbed Jiang Youran's wrist tightly, "When something happened in the Qin Mansion, you were by your grandfather's side, what the hell is going on!" ”
"I don't know! I really don't know anything! Jiang said anxiously, "If I knew who did it, I would have told you a long time ago, but I really don't know anything!" My grandfather didn't seem to want me to get involved either, so he didn't tell me anything! But what I can be sure of is that it really has nothing to do with the eldest sister! ”
She hesitated for a moment, and didn't tell Jiang Yiran about the letter, she was too extreme now, and she didn't know what she would do!
"It's inconvenient to talk today, I'll look for you again!" Jiang Yiran said coldly, "I hope that next time, you won't refuse me again!" ”
A few people were talking, and after a while, they came to the Imperial Garden. Now the Imperial Garden has begun to be lively, although the spring cold has not passed, the flowers in the Imperial Garden have not yet opened, but there are faint fragrances of some flowers.
The queen is still grounded because of the poisoning of King Chu, and all the big and small things in the harem are now taken care of by Concubine Qi and Concubine Jin, including this banquet. The Queen Mother has not yet arrived, but the guests have come in a steady stream, and these two have become the busiest people.
Some of the unmarried men and women who came today were all in a circle, and everyone knew each other and greeted each other. The eldest grandson Chi talked to a few young people, and the county lord Qiwen took the opportunity to come to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and said in her ear: "Master, you are so beautiful today!" ”
"Just notice I'm pretty now?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "You only have your general in your eyes now, and you don't have me as a master, right?" ”
"Master, don't make fun of me!" Lord Qiwen covered her mouth and laughed, "Master is in my heart, I remember it all the time!" ”
"What do you think of Jiang Yiran?" Jiang Xiaoyu bluntly expressed her worries, "You live under the same roof with her, I'm worried!" ”
"She? I've known her for so many years, and although I'm not close friends, I'm not a bad friend! The county lord of Qiwen looked for Jiang Yiran's figure in the crowd, but he didn't find it, and then withdrew his gaze, "Besides, it's not that you are married to her, what is there to be afraid of!" ”
"Everything I say now is all heart, it's just my imagination, I just think things are not so simple, you have to be careful!"
