Chapter 206: Spying on the Heart
The county lord of Qiwen chose the place where the two met in the teahouse, and when the eldest grandson was late, he saw her making tea in a serious manner in the private room.
"General, you've arrived!" Lord Qiwen raised her eyes and nodded lightly to say hello, although she was calm on the surface, she still had two points of shyness between her eyebrows, she didn't dare to look at Changsun Chi's face, she just felt that his figure was unusually tall and burly, and he was very different from the eldest brother and Brother Zhao Ling, these two men who often came into contact with in ordinary life.
"I've seen the county lord!" Changsun Chi said with his fists clenched.
"The general doesn't have to be polite!" Lord Qiwen said, "Please take a seat! ”
She pushed the brewed tea in front of Changsun Chi, nodded and said, "General, please use tea!" ”
The eldest grandson Chi laughed lowly, his voice was strong and powerful, very good, very similar to the second prince, the heart of the county lord of Qiwen jumped suddenly, his eyes stayed on his chest, and he didn't dare to look at his eyes.
"I'm a rough man, if you let me drink, I can still taste it, if you let me drink tea, I'm afraid it will ruin the county lord's craftsmanship!" The eldest grandson said with a smile.
"The general just drinks!" The county lord of Qiwen coughed lightly, "I'm afraid that the general is also wondering why I invited the general to come here today, what about me, I don't plan to beat around the bush with the general, it's just ...... I heard from my eldest brother that the Queen Mother seemed to be interested in marrying us, so I wanted to ask the general what he meant......"
Lord Qiwen's voice became softer and softer, and his head drooped more and more because of shyness.
"Don't hide it from the county lord!" The eldest grandson Chi opened his mouth and said, "My mother has already told me about this matter, if it is really the queen mother's marriage, the eldest grandson Chi does not have the courage to resist the marriage, the county lord asks, is it because the county lord already has a sweetheart, so he ......"
"Nope!" Lord Qiwen hurriedly said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I want to know the general's attitude, if ...... If it weren't for the Queen Mother's marriage, would the general still agree to this family affair? ”
The eldest grandson Chi was a little confused, the little girl's thoughts, he naturally couldn't guess, frowned and asked: "I don't really understand what the county lord means, does the county lord want me to agree or not?" If the county lord has something unspeakable, I can solve this matter, please rest assured! ”
"Oh, why don't you understand what I mean!" Lord Qiwen stomped his feet anxiously, "Even if you don't care about external factors, are you willing to marry me!" I hope that the person I will marry in the future will marry me because he really wants to marry me, not because he will marry me! Which one are you? ”
Although shy, the county lord of Qiwen still bravely looked into the eyes of the eldest grandson.
"This ......" Changsun Chi was stunned by the sudden action of the county lord Qiwen, in his memory, this is a little girl, I don't know when the little girl has grown up, and she is already a slim girl!
He thought about it seriously and said, "Even if there is no decree from the Queen Mother, I am willing to live with a lovely little girl like the county lord!" ”
Lord Qiwen's face turned red with shame, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I know what you think!" I don't have any other questions, is there anything else you'd like to ask me? ”
"The eldest grandson Chi is not a fool, and I also understand the county lord's intentions!" The eldest grandson Chi said, "I originally thought it didn't matter about this marriage, but looking at it today, it's really my luck!" ”
Lord Qiwen bit her lip: "I still have something to do, I'll go first!" ”
After the words fell, he ran out shyly, and there was a series of laughter from the eldest grandson Chi behind him, until he went downstairs, the heat of his face did not subside, this kind of thing really requires courage, and the master mentioned the marriage between the two to Brother Zhao Ling back then, and it also took courage!
But after getting the answer he wanted, Lord Qiwen was also satisfied, no matter what happened in the future, just face it with him!
Today's Jiang Mansion is indeed a little cold, Jiang Yiran and Jiang Huiran are gone, Jiang Haoran entered the palace as a companion, Jiang Youran basically doesn't go out of his own yard much, the sixth aunt went to Yueyue's wedding and hasn't come back, the old lady is lying on the hospital bed, Jiang Yuan is now in order to gain His Majesty's trust, he spends all his thoughts on official business, and he can't wait to live in the household yamen.
And now under the recommendation of Prime Minister Bai Cheng, the Shangshu of several other ministries have also taken office, these people are all capable officials carefully selected by Prime Minister Bai and others, and they are absolutely loyal to the emperor, with the lessons of their predecessors, coupled with their temperament, they will not participate in the party struggle between the two princes.
Everyone couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, at the beginning he gave power to let the two princes grind each other's claws, and now it seems that he is going to take back what he gave out step by step, is it possible that His Majesty has already made a decision in his heart?
After entering the middle of the lunar month, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there are already snow disasters in some places.
Jiang Xiaoyu was reading by the fire, and Yan Yan entered and said, "Miss, the son of the world is here!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes and nodded, the body of one of the master's old people was gone, the master hurried over, and the senior brother stayed, but he didn't see him much in the past few days, and he didn't know what he was doing. It's just that the senior brother has always been mysterious, and she doesn't want to ask.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Ling entered, and the two maids gently patted the snowflakes off his body for him.
"Nothing!" Jiang Xiaoyu retracted and pondered, "Have these days been going well?" ”
"It's done!" Zhao Ling walked to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and snatched out the Tang Pozi in her arms to warm her hands, "It's just that this is the end of the year, all kinds of things are piled together, and I'm too busy to close my eyes!" ”
"My father hasn't been back to the house for a few days, and the old lady has to send someone to see it a few times a day, for fear that he won't be able to come back. Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled softly, "Has the assassination come to fruition?" ”
"Although the loopholes in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion have been filled, because of the leakage of weapon drawings, more than a dozen people have been dismissed, and the vacancies of these ten people have been filled by the candidates drawn up by the Privy Council, because there has been such a big omission, even Jiang Shuai can't say anything! The eldest grandson's family has deep roots in the Privy Council, and at least half of these ten or so people are related to the eldest grandson's family! Zhao Ling sighed, "The Xiao Cavalry Camp is still being slowly infiltrated by the eldest grandson's family, but fortunately, the location of these people is not the most core part, and there will be opportunities to slowly clean them up in the future, but this has become a bad start, so that many eyes are staring at the loopholes of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion!" ”
He paused and said: "The matter of the Beiyang Naval Division, Your Majesty did not let the second child investigate, but personally assigned someone to investigate this matter, the specific situation is still in the position, but it is estimated that it is similar to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and there will definitely be a group of people who will suffer!" ”
"There is no result of the assassination of Mei Yuan?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.
"This matter is naturally counted on the head of the eldest grandson's family! Although the imperial grandmother did not move, the more there was no movement, the more angry the imperial grandmother became! It's just that the most suspicious thing about this matter is that I have been chasing them for so long but I haven't found the real mastermind behind them! Zhao Ling said leisurely, "So, who is this power that is secretly helping us?" ”
"But there is no real evidence for these two assassinations, even if there is real evidence, they can't move the basis of the eldest grandson's family, how do they plan to deal with this matter, this matter has to be explained to Chen Guo!" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"What else can I do?" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, "Abandon the car and protect the handsome!" Because although the imperial grandmother is angry, her meaning is not very obvious, as long as the imperial grandmother does not make an obvious statement, the eldest grandson family still needs to continue to exist! ”
"In other words, the core of this matter still lies in the Queen Mother!" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "In fact, just like the first prince and the Bai family back then, if it weren't for His Majesty's doubts, I'm afraid that even if the trap of the eldest grandson family is shrewd, there is no way to really move them, if you want to really deal with the eldest grandson family, you must first shake the queen mother's trust in the eldest grandson family!" ”
She paused and continued: "The eldest grandson's family is the queen mother's mother's family, and for the queen mother to make up her mind, it must be the eldest grandson's family who has done something beyond her bottom line...... No matter how partial the queen mother is to the eldest grandson's family, she is still a woman, a mother, and a woman's favorite person, and she will only be her child! If the Queen Mother completely abandons the eldest grandson family, the only way to let her see the harm of the eldest grandson family to His Majesty! ”
"With Your Majesty's strength, the eldest grandson family will not have such courage!"
"Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, but I am afraid that the eldest grandson Hu himself will understand that His Majesty wants to get rid of their determination!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "People's hearts can't stand the test, unless he really doesn't have half a idea in his heart, there will definitely be a day when his feet will be exposed, just wait for that day to come!" ”
"Okay, let's stop talking about these unhappy things!" Zhao Ling had to squeeze on a chair with Jiang Xiaoyu, "The marriage of the second child is decided!" This is a private matter between him and the princess, and it is also a major matter between the two countries, and now the two countries have calculated the eight characters, just wait for this holy decree to be decided! ”
"Very good!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "Princess Jingyun is indeed a good girl!" ”
Her smile retracted for a moment, and she said, "When the holy decree comes down, I'm afraid it's time for the snowfall girl to leave!" ”
"Hey!" Zhao Ling tilted his head on Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulder and coquettishly, "Originally, you and I were the first to settle the marriage, but now that we are doing it, our marriage is estimated to be delayed to the end!" ”
"Let's grind a lot of good things!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and pinched his face, "Now that he is married, your heart knot should be untied, right?" ”
"Hmph, let's see how he performs!" Zhao Ling raised his chin arrogantly and said, he flicked the hairpin on Jiang Xiaoyu's bun, "By the way, what day will it be in a few days?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolled, "What day?" How did I not know? ”
After Jiang Xiaoyu took Liu Ruli's antidote, he was like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, not only did his skin become fairer, but the contours of his face became more and more delicate and clear.
He looked at the graceful arc of her side face, and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek: "Silly girl! ”
