"The minister is frightened," Jiang Chenning arched his hand, hung his head, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't hear a trace of abnormality, "This kind of dragon qi blessing can only be seen by the emperor, how can we and other ordinary people have such a blessing?" It's like the emperor levies a land tax, the whole world belongs to the emperor, as long as the emperor gives an order, don't these people have to obediently give up the land deed? What is a little land tax compared to surrendering a title deed? ”

"You," the old emperor laughed, obviously in a good mood, and stretched out his hand to point at him, "Over the years, I haven't seen how much of your other skills have risen, but you have practiced a lot." ”

Jiang Chenning kept a stiff smile on his face and didn't speak, the old emperor was too lazy to entangle with him anymore when he had been a veteran for so many years, and said: "I heard that the little girl of the Dou family has medical skills, but is it true?" ”

The matter of Dou Qingshuang's healing of the people at the border has spread all over the streets and alleys of Nanshu, and it is naturally not difficult to reach the ears of the emperor.

The emperor has been looking for more doctors over the years than the imperial doctors in the imperial medical hall, and this palace is all gone and never returned, many noses are sensitive, naturally hiding from the old emperor of Nanshu everywhere, and some people even spend a lot of money to stay away from Nanshu and the old emperor.

This is also why he has been sick for so long and his condition has not improved, and those wastes in the hospital only seem to know how to give him the medicine to die all day long, and saying a few more words is different from asking for their lives.

If it weren't for their role, the old emperor would have given them the death penalty and thrown them into mass graves. But his life still depends on these people to save it, so let them be spared for the time being.

"Back to the emperor, it's just a rumor in the market, it can't be true," Jiang Chenning arched his hand, half of his injured cheek was numb and unconscious, and he could only smell a disgusting smell of blood, "When my niece helped a little on the way back, it made the good people remember it and magnify it infinitely." In fact, she doesn't have much credit, it's just that the people feel about themselves. ”

The old emperor put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Jiang Chenning, Jiang Chenning's hair, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The minister has a plan, but you can know whether the medical skills of the Dou family girl are true or false." ”

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.

Yan Qinyuan's vision is extremely high, and she has never taken a fancy to any son until now, and the old emperor was still concerned about her affairs at first, but later he went with her.

Anyway, when she reaches a certain age, she doesn't need him to keep an eye on it, and the women around her naturally have a tongue to chew on, and when the time comes, she can't help but not want to get married.

After so many years of care, the old emperor can be regarded as worthy of the first emperor's entrustment.

Yan's beauty, Yan Qinyuan is so proud that he also has this capital, Xiao Qiyuan is not unmoved, but he knows that Yan Qinyuan will definitely not look down on him.

"Lord Xiao," Yan Qinyuan wore a pink gauze skirt today, covered with a pearl shawl, with gorgeous lips and gentle eyebrows and eyes, like a peony, which made people look a little crazy, "You seem to be very busy recently, and you are almost invisible in the palace." ”

There are beauties who are worried about it, it is really a beautiful thing, but Xiao Qiyuan knows in his heart that Yan Qinyuan is not asking about himself, he thought about it for a while, and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Mou and his son have just returned from the border pass, and it is true that they have been away from the palace for a while. ”
