Chapter 360: The Unexpected
When he said this, Murong Tian had already planned to probe Sima Cheng's tone tonight, but before that, he still had to see Yi Xue's attitude.
No matter what, between Yi Xue and Sima Cheng, Murong Tian must be firmly on Yi Xue's side.
When Yi Xue heard this, her body shook unconsciously, and after a long time, she responded lightly.
"Really...... I didn't pay attention to ......"
After Yi Xue finished, he waved his wide sleeves and left without his head, Murong Tian looked at the back of Yi Xue leaving, and shrugged helplessly, he listened to the story of the meeting of the Central Plains Magpie Bridge, Murong Tian felt that he, a magpie, might be able to take a leave tonight.
……
After chatting for the next few days, although Yi Xue still ignored Sima Cheng, just by listening to Sima Cheng's lectures in the school field, she no longer deliberately avoided talking to Sima Cheng, and the relationship between the two Rao was still eased.
Some, the imperial study in the afternoon.
The auxiliary ministers in the main hall were already in place, and when Xue Xue came to the side hall and was about to transcribe the books, she found that there was a beautiful brocade box on her bookcase, and she opened the brocade box and saw the contents inside.
Yi Xue was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and then called Gonggong Jiang in.
Compared with the main hall of the imperial study, the side hall is a more private place for the monarch, all the chapters and texts are also placed here, and when they want to be used, they are taken out from here, and only she and Jiang Gonggong can enter and exit here freely, and other courtiers cannot come in without her permission.
"Father-in-law Jiang, did you bring this in?" Yi Xue pointed to the Jinhai
"Back to Your Majesty, it was His Royal Highness Cheng who handed it over to the old slave, and it was to be handed over to Your Majesty." Gonggong Jiang replied respectfully.
"Oh......" Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, "Father-in-law Jiang, get up, I know." “
Yi Xue's tone was calm and slow, and when Jiang Gonggong got up, he couldn't help but look up at her twice, and saw that Yi Xue was drooping, frowning slightly, and her eyes seemed to be dodging, so she asked one more question.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" Gonggong Jiang looked concerned, "The old slave saw that His Royal Highness Cheng did not present the thing to His Majesty in front of other people, but handed it over to the old slave in private, so he felt that this thing might not be exposed, so he put it in the side hall." “
"Well, Gonggong Jiang, you did the right thing...... "Yi Xue nodded and smiled faintly, "However, it's not a big deal, it's just that I asked Gong Wei to help me make a long whip, and I want to give Murong Wan'er a farewell gift." “
Yi Xue opened the brocade box, and a brand-new soft whip was lying in the box like that, Jiang Gonggong leaned over and saluted, took a closer look, and couldn't help but admire:
"It's a delicate thing......"
"Does Grandpa Jiang understand this thing?" Yi Xue showed a hint of surprise on her face.
When Gonggong Jiang heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"The old slave doesn't understand this, but he sees that the twine wound on the whip handle is very neat, and it is all the same as the stitches embroidered by Ning Yatou, so he thinks that the whip handle can be made so meticulously, and that thing should be no worse."
After being reminded by Jiang Gonggong, Yi Xue only noticed the part of the whip, and perhaps after hearing the name of "Sima Cheng", Yi Xue didn't pay much attention to this whip.
"Really? That's good, I don't know much about this......" Xue Xue sighed lightly and replied.
"Your Majesty, are you happy to receive a good thing?" Jiang Shangyi saw that Yi Xue still seemed to be worried, so he asked with some concern.
"No, I'm happy......" Yi Xue closed the box, showed a bright smile to Gonggong Jiang, and sighed lightly, "What's the matter, Gonggong Jiang, you go and get busy, when you go back today, please bring things back to the Jianshi Palace......"
Although Yi Xue deliberately diverted the topic, and even issued an "eviction order" to Jiang Gonggong, Jiang Shangyi has been staying by Yi Xue's side after all, and he can still see through Yi Xue's trick.
Father-in-law Jiang moved the brocade box to the desk next to him, and Yi Xue sat down in front of the bookcase by herself, she was still a little absent-minded, and after a while, she noticed that Father-in-law Jiang had not left.
Yi Xue was about to ask questions, but as soon as she raised her head, she was caught by Jiang Gonggong's subtle gaze, she was speechless for a while, and lowered her head in a blink of an eye.
Once, in the teaching class of learning the benefits of the palace rules, she ran away on the grounds of going to the toilet, but as soon as she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she was discovered by Gonggong Jiang who followed her out.
Later, Grandpa Jiang asked Father-in-law Jiang why she found out that she was lying, Father-in-law Jiang Xue has always held his head high and was justified when he talked on weekdays, but just now, his eyes were drooping, and his gaze seemed to be dodging.
So since then, Father-in-law Jiang rarely pretends to be in front of Father-in-law Jiang, although later, Father-in-law Jiang is more to take care of Sima Ji, but Father-in-law Jiang's visionary image is deeply rooted in Father-in-law's heart.
After entering the palace this time, although Yi Xue often sighed and said something against his will, Jiang Shangyi also understood that he was worried about state affairs, and he couldn't help because of the complexity of the government and politics, so he was particularly fond of Sima Cheng and hoped that he could help Yi Xue more.
But this time, Yi Xue is obviously not worried about state affairs.
Yi Xue didn't know how Father-in-law Jiang found out, and felt that if there was no suitable reason for this, it was estimated that Father-in-law Jiang would not be allowed to leave, she looked away, and while thinking, she replied in a hesitant manner:
"I ...... I'm just annoyed...... I don't know how to send this long whip to Murong Wan'er......"
While secretly paying attention to Gonggong Jiang's expression, he saw that his complexion seemed to have changed, so he hurriedly explained:
"Gonggong Jiang, you also know that I didn't refuse Murong Wan'er's request for marriage before, and made her a princess, but I'm not ...... I'm afraid she'll be angry with me......"
Jiang Shangyi saw that Yi Xue looked pitiful, and his heart softened, so he hurriedly comforted him repeatedly:
"Hey, Your Majesty is really kind-hearted, treating Princess Murong so kindly......"
When Yi Xue heard this, she didn't care about it so much, she nodded again and again, and saw that Jiang Gonggong was thoughtful, so she said to Yi Xue seriously:
"The old slave thinks that Your Majesty may still have to be clear with Princess Murong, after all, Princess Murong is also the princess of Dayu now, and when the time comes, she will return to Ulan, and her words and deeds also represent Dayu and Your Majesty."
When Yi Xue heard the three words "clear", she couldn't help but feel difficult, did she want her to be honest and unfair about her selfishness towards Sima Cheng and Murong Wan'er?
However, it was also after being reminded by Gonggong Jiang that Yi Xue also realized that the problems caused to her by her "sealing the princess" were if Murong Wan'er returned to Wulan and spoke ill of Dayu everywhere and smeared Dayu, then she, the emperor who gave her the title, would not lose face.
Jiang Shangyi saw that Yi Xue still had a sad cloud on her face, and after thinking for a while, he asked respectfully:
"Can the old slave ask more, why did Your Majesty insist on giving Princess Murong the title of Princess Dayu at that time......
