Chapter Seventy-Three: Selection

Dou girl?

The corner of the old emperor's lips flashed a sly smile, which was fleeting, and the expression in his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, turning into relief, and he said with no clear meaning: "Jiang Xiang's position, he is sitting more and more decent." ”

Jiang Chenning knelt down and buckled his head.

The old emperor was in a good mood and said, "What do you have to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, all those who have excelled have been impressive because they stand out among the world, blessed by the Son of Heaven, admired by all the people, and also shown to all things in the world that they are extraordinary in ability and are rare talents in heaven and earth. Just like the newly promoted champion of my dynasty, he was selected from many talented people, not a word of praise and many good words from the people, and he can stand on the top of that supreme peak. ”

"I can't rule out those insidious and despicable villains who want to get close to the powerful," Jiang Chenning glanced at the old emperor, couldn't see the expression on his face, frowned slightly, pondered a little in his heart, and said: "In the name of a woman, I tried to get close to the emperor in order to get a good future for myself." ”

Ordinary women naturally can't, but if the former general Dou Chunting is orphaned, it will be different, whether it is the court or the people, their high hopes and affirmation are different from ordinary people.

She doesn't even need her medical skills to be easily recognized by the world, and the royal family can ensure her happiness for a lifetime.

"And the selection competition is undoubtedly the fairest way, and it can also defeat the other party's wolf ambitions," Jiang Chenning suddenly waved his sleeves and said respectfully: "I also hope that the emperor will spare the life of the Dou family girl for the sake of General Dou who died in the battle for Nanshu!" This girl is young, and it is inevitable to be bewitched by others, after this time, the minister will definitely discipline her well, until she marries another woman, even if she hates the minister, the old general Dou is a ghostly minister, and the minister can also laugh at Jiuquan! ”

These words were extremely generous, and the old emperor looked at him deeply, many years ago, the person who was still subservient in front of his eyes had become so imposing.

Sure enough, people's status has changed, and their hearts will also change, but it is no worse than those university officials, Jiang Chenning has grown up too fast.

"Recently, the time for the court banquet is approaching, in previous years, I watched the tribute of precious items from various countries, or some beauties dancing to help the fun, and it has been like this for many years, presumably the ministers are also tired of it." The old emperor muttered, "Especially those messengers with familiar faces, who are amazed once or twice, and come here many times, I am afraid that they will not tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they will lose their awe of Nanshu." ”

"It's okay to have some fun, but let me see, who can't hold back and wants to take some advantage on me," the old emperor narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer, "Jiang Chenning, this matter will be left to you." ”

Jiang Chenning's eyelids jumped, "The minister's decree, thank the emperor for the holy scriptures." ”

The old emperor was tired, and waved his hand to let Jiang Chenning retreat, Jiang Chenning got up, walked backwards to the door, closed the door gently, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A handkerchief with a faint fragrance was handed to him, Jiang Chenning turned his head, and saw Gonggong Liu with a smile on his face, "Lord Jiang has worked hard, and the emperor is afraid that you will get lost, so he will order the old slave to send you out of the palace!" ”

How many years has he been in and out of the palace, where can he still recognize the road? The old emperor's heart is really difficult to fathom, but Jiang Chenning only listens to orders, and does not dare to say more, so he smiled at Gonggong Liu: "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

"Master Jiang!"

Jiang Chenning was about to leave, when he heard a shout coming from behind him, he turned around, and saw Xiao Qiyuan, who was dressed in soft armor, walking over.

With a smile in his eyes, he bowed his hand to Jiang Chenning, and the whole person exuded high spirits, which made Jiang Chenning think of himself who had just been promoted, which made him inexplicably a little unhappy, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Xiao, what is the matter with looking for old decay?" ”

"Lord Jiang said this, Xiao didn't dare to agree," Xiao Qiyuan arched his hand at him, the corners of his lips pursed, and his expression was a little shy, "In the past few days, Xiao has visited Jiang's mansion, and he has never seen Miss Dou Jiabiao, so Mrs. Ling always persuades Miss Xiao to return to Xiao on the grounds that Miss Dou is unwell, Xiao can't sleep all night, I am afraid that there is something wrong with Miss Dou." Knowing that Lord Jiang was summoned today, he specially waited here, and dared to ask Lord Jiang, what happened to Miss Cousin, is she sick? ”

This Xiao Qiyuan's eyes are full of ambition, not a few points worse than himself back then, everyone is the same kind of person, Jiang Chenning looks at him like this, he knows what he is thinking, but unfortunately his eldest daughter is infatuated with Xiao Qiyuan tightly, and he is not good at tearing his face with Xiao Qiyuan, and the smile on the corner of his lips is a little bigger, "Neiko rejects Lord Xiao like this, because she is worried about Ah Shuang's reputation, after all, she is still a girl in the boudoir, and it is not good for Lord Xiao to be so close to her." Neiko had no other reason, so he had to say that Ah Shuang was sick, and hoped that Lord Xiao would understand more. ”

"That's the case," Xiao Qiyuan blocked Jiang Chenning's way, and the entanglement was obvious, "What did Lord Jiang say, in a short time, we will become in-laws, how could I tarnish Qingshuang's reputation?" ”

His name was too ambiguous, Jiang Chenning looked at him a few more times, and couldn't help but feel a headache, if this was heard by the eldest daughter Jiang Hanling, she might not know what would happen, and her brainless mother, for her daughter, would do anything.

Jiang Chenning's face changed slightly.

He had just persuaded the old emperor that the mother and daughter should not do anything to destroy his big affairs at a critical moment, the more Jiang Chenning thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't wait to go back to the house and talk to the mother and daughter about the stakes.

I really can't do it, lock them up, and wait until the competition is over, and then release the two of them!

"Lord Xiao said cautiously," Jiang Chenning arched his hand at him, after all, Xiao Qiyuan was a nobleman personally promoted by the old emperor, and a few thin noodles still had to be given, "There are still some things to deal with in the old family, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will drink tea and watch the play with Lord Xiao another day, and say it well." ”

Xiao Qiyuan wanted to say something more, but Jiang Chenning couldn't stay for a moment, and walked forward with a flick of his sleeves, Gonggong Liu bowed slightly to Xiao Qiyuan, and followed behind Jiang Chenning with a smile.

Looking at the backs of the two, Xiao Qiyuan sneered in his heart, his eyes glanced inadvertently, but he saw a shadow standing under the tree not far away, he was slightly stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he was a little handsome: "Miss Yan... No, Lord Shire. ”

In order to protect the life of the first emperor, almost all the whole clan died on the battlefield, leaving only the orphan girl Yan Qinyuan, before the first emperor died, he made it clear that the new emperor would take care of her.

The new emperor, who is now the old emperor, has been raising the orphan daughter of the Yan family in Longzhuang, and when she is about to be in the palace, she will be given the position of the county lord, hoping to seek a good marriage for her.
