The soft branches of the willows fluttered, and the calm surface of the lake was wrinkled by the breeze.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan sat and stood by the lake.

When they were in the north, the two talked about everything, and I don't know when the two would be so embarrassed even to have such a simple conversation.

"Last time I was in the Three Princes' Mansion, I haven't said thank you yet, if you hadn't stopped Zhao Ling, he would have been in a big disaster!" Jiang Xiaoyu said softly.

"This is what I should have done, no matter who it is, I have to stop it!" Zhao Yan moved his gaze from the lake to Jiang Xiaoyu's face, "Princess Lando has gone back to the grassland, but you haven't gotten a clear result yet, I have investigated this matter, it was a maid beside Princess Jingyun, who proposed this matter to Princess Lando in the name of Chen Guo!" ”

He paused and said: "If this matter is made public, the relationship between Yu Chen Guo and the Qimu Grassland tribe is not good, and in the current situation, once a war with Chen Guo starts, it will be really unfavorable to my father's current plan, so I can only wronged you, but what I can guarantee you is that this matter has nothing to do with Princess Jingyun, she is just involved in the situation because of the identity of Princess Chen Guo, but no matter what, I think since you are the victim of this matter, you should have the right to know the truth of the matter!" ”

"I definitely believe in Princess Jingyun!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Not only because she is your wife, but she is also an extremely upright person!" ”

She lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "How can I Jiang Xiaoyu, in order to take my life, Chen Guo, the grassland, and the eldest grandson's family are all involved, and they really look up to me!" However, this also proves that the eldest grandson's family is connected with Chen Guo! ”

"Yes, so my father has a lot of scruples, and the biggest variable is that Chen will tear up the armistice alliance at this time and launch a war against the Great Zhou, and now the Great Zhou still has half of the military power in the hands of the Changsun family, at this time, I have to let the people of the Changsun family send troops, and before the father's plan has been fully rolled out, it will fall into a very passive situation!"

"Your Majesty is cultivating new people to take over the military power from the people of the eldest grandson family at any time, in your estimation, how long will this time take?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Zhao Yan thought for a moment in silence and said, "At least half a year!" ”

"The Queen Mother can't delay Qiyanghou for so long, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "If Your Majesty has not completed the plan to take over, will he kill me to appease the eldest grandson family?" ”

"Maybe......" Zhao Yan was silent for a while before saying.

"Second Prince!" Jiang Xiaoyu picked up a small grass on the ground and played with it in his hand, and said in a light tone, "If you really come to that point, I don't care what Zhao Ling does, but I hope you can stay calm and stay out of the matter when the time comes." Based on the current situation, this prince's position is none other than you, if we can't complete the first prince's grievances for the Bai family, this matter will inevitably be completed by you in the future! ”

Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a heavy face and did not speak.

Jiang Xiaoyu paused and said: "I originally thought that I could do a lot of things, I could avenge the Bai family, and I could publish the truth to the public, but gradually, I found that I was too small, and the things I did were only done with the help and acquiescence of others, and I could do too little on my own, I did so much, and in the end I was just a pawn in the hands of His Majesty, although I don't want to admit it, but this is the truth, Your Majesty is too powerful, and our current strength cannot match, So we can only wait, and then gather strength, so you are our last hope! You want to stick a knife in your friend's ribs, yes, but what I hope more is that you can finish what we haven't done, and finish the road we haven't finished, and I think we should have reached a consensus on this when we were in the north! ”

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhao Yan was silent for a moment and said in an extremely solemn tone.

"With your words, I am relieved, and I have nothing to fear!" Jiang Xiaoyu said in a brisk tone, "Okay, I have to go to the front to have a look, and now I guess the third aunt should look for me!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu got up, stepped on the mud on the shore, slipped on her feet, and almost fell, at this time Zhao Yan reached out and helped her, and said softly: "Be careful!" ”

"Xianggong!" A soft voice came, and I saw Princess Jingyun walking in the direction of the two of them.

Zhao Yan let go of Jiang Xiaoyu, looked at Princess Jingyun and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I didn't find Xianggong in front, King Jin said that you may have come here, so come and have a look!" Princess Jingyun smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be here, I didn't disturb your conversation, right?" ”

"Nope!" Zhao Yan acted above board, since there was no personal relationship between the two, he naturally had nothing to hide his heart, "We just finished talking, and she happened to go outside!" ”

"That's it!" Princess Jingyun's eyes rolled slightly, and she took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand half a step forward, "Are you okay?" The most bitter thing these days is you, and the great sorrows and joys all happen intensively during this period of time, and they don't give you time to breathe! ”

"I'm fine, I've survived the harder days, what's the hurdle I can't over?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!" ”

Princess Jingyun pulled Jiang Xiaoyu away, and asked about what had happened recently, Zhao Yan looked at it, didn't think much about it, and stayed for a while and left.

To everyone's surprise, the eldest grandson Hu actually came here in person, he returned to Qiyang more than ten years ago, and he has not appeared in public for a long time, although many people know that he has returned to the capital, but there is also a lack of ways to visit. Moreover, His Majesty's intention to weaken the eldest grandson family is very obvious, and the ministers are afraid of His Majesty's dragon power, and they will not choose to challenge His Majesty's prestige at this time.

Therefore, as soon as this respected old man appeared, everyone was curious, and they were surprised that the face of Jiangfu would be so big.

The old man has a noble status and is an elder, and this group of juniors and officials can only bend down to greet the old man.

Jiang Xiaoyu is also the first time to see this legendary old man Changsun Hu, his beard and hair are white, but his body is straight, this temperament of being a soldier has not disappeared in him because of the retreat over the years, his eyes are bright, his lips are a little thin, his whole face looks very resolute, the outline is similar to the Queen Mother, he is also a beautiful man when he is young, this old man's appearance reminds Jiang Xiaoyu of Changsun Chi, which is the two people with the closest temperament among the people she knows.

As the most promising grandson of the eldest grandson family, as the person most similar to himself, the eldest grandson must have poured a lot of effort into the eldest grandson, but this grandson betrayed the eldest grandson family and chose His Majesty, which is a big blow to the old man, and His Majesty's vision is indeed vicious, and he simply and accurately grasped one of the lifelines of the eldest grandson family.

"Qi Yang Gong!"

In the eldest grandson, the old lady was incensed, and Jiang Yuan hugged his fists and saluted him.

"You're welcome!" The eldest grandson Hu said with emotion, "Back then, I was also a good old time with your mother, and I came to see her off today!" The old friends of the year are gone one by one, only my old bones are left, and I don't know when I will go down there to reunite with them! ”

Changsun Hu and Jiang Yuan walked out of the mourning hall side by side, and the people outside came up to greet him, and Changsun Hu called Zhao Yan and several other juniors to his side and talked for a while.

"I've heard everything about you, the hero is a teenager, you have already made outstanding achievements at a young age, the body of the prince, but you are the first soldier, among your peers, in terms of merit and bearing, no one can beat it!" The eldest grandson patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder and said, "My old man has been on the battlefield all his life, and seeing that the baby under him is becoming more and more delicate like a girl, your child has given his peers a long face!" ”

The eldest grandson Hu and Zhao Yan were at odds with each other in terms of political opinions, but for such a young hero, he remembered that when he was young, he still really liked it in his heart. If he hadn't been too influenced by the former prince and the Bai family, it would not be impossible for him to support him as the emperor, and now that he has gone to both ends, who can blame him!

"Qi Yanggong, what you said is wrong!" Zhao Qian said with a smile, "Although I don't go to the battlefield, but this shopping mall is like a battlefield, and I have opened up several business routes in Da Zhou. ”

"You kid still hasn't changed at all, this mouth is not forgiving at all, I said it wrong, you are all good men in Da Zhou!" Qi Yanggong said happily, "Let me meet the two granddaughters-in-law!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu and Princess Jingyun glanced at each other, took two steps forward, and asked for peace to Duke Qiyang.

"You two boys are so blessed!" The eldest grandson Hu pointed at Zhao Ling and Zhao Yan and said, "These two granddaughters-in-law are first-class romantic figures, you two can cherish them!" ”

He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu more, and said: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's mercy with His Majesty's subordinates back then, our son would not be able to marry such a handsome daughter-in-law today!" ”

The smile on Jiang Xiaoyu's face froze for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, this forest is all about creation, and Xiaoyu can really have more Empress Dowager and His Majesty's Long En until now!" ”

"Your grandfather was also a party back then, if it weren't for the big mistake made by a ghost fascination, I'm afraid he would be able to watch you get married!" Eldest Sun Hu said lightly.

It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief, and you deserve to mention my grandfather!
