Chapter 397: "Rumors" in the City

Although with the protection of the emperor and the queen, the three orphans and widows of the Jiang family will not be struggling, but the Jiang family has always been a strong character, and he has never been willing to ask his mother and the queen for help, and he has suffered a lot over the years.

Fortunately, the eldest son Su Yan was angry, and he repeatedly made military exploits when he was a teenager, becoming the "little god of war" of Dongzhao, so that the uncles who coveted the throne had a thief's heart but did not dare to act rashly, and the daughter Su Yan, although not as good as a boy in and out of the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, can not be an official in the scientific examination, can be used as a model of a noble official family of celebrities, Su Wu is the first daughter in the boudoir in Shangling City, plus she has been pampered by the emperor and queen since she was a child, she can almost be regarded as half a princess, but the Tao family's affairs have caused Su Wu's reputation to be slightly damaged, but the royal protectionIt didn't take long for that to be forgotten.

Today's Zhenguo Mansion is still in full swing, and there is no sign of decline, Su Yan finally wants to inherit the title justifiably, and the emperor's will is to be directly named the Duke of the Kingdom, and there is no need to start from the marquis, which can be described as an unprecedented honor.

Jiang didn't expect that the bitterness he had endured over the years would be seen by the eldest princess who didn't come and go often, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised at the same time, but after thinking about it, the eldest princess, as a royal lady, seems to be a collection of thousands of favors, but she is also burdened with burdens and responsibilities that are unimaginable to outsiders, so the hardships she has experienced may not be seen by others, but the eldest princess can really empathize.

The eldest princess stopped at the most appropriate place and did not continue to deepen the topic, since she knew how difficult it was for the Jiang family to maintain face over the years, how could she let the high platform in her heart collapse at this time.

"Princess Anhe of the West Dome, once met once at the He Winter Banquet in our palace, the palace has seen it once, she talks well, behaves decently, and her figure is also good, and the women in the West Dome always seem to be taller than our Dongzhao." Princess Celestia commented while reminiscing.

"Yes, that kid is rare among women." Jiang agrees with this.

"In addition to the figure, at that time, the palace paid attention to the child's eyebrows and eyes, he was a smart and intelligent one, and at that time, the palace felt that the demeanor was a little like who, but I couldn't think of it for a while, today I finally came back to the taste, would the Duchess of the Kingdom want to hear it?"

"Celestial princess, please speak, the courtiers will listen to you."

"The child's expression and gaze at that time were extremely similar to yours."

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you, you after Zhenguo Gong is gone."

Zhen Guogong's self after he left...... Jiang followed this sentence silently in his heart, and suddenly was struck by something, as if a dark cloud gradually dispersed in his heart.

For so long, Jiang has always thought that his dislike for Mu Yunyi is all due to her not very good reputation and his son's infatuation with her.

And at this moment, the words of the eldest princess made her suddenly realize that the biggest resistance to Mu Yunyi at the beginning was probably because the first time she saw her, she subconsciously had already perceived that she was similar to herself, she was so strong, she always wrapped herself in a hard shell, never showed and admitted her vulnerable side, and was determined that only by arming herself to the point of being almost impersonal could she best protect the people around her.

In this world, there is always the same kind of rejection, so the Jiang family will double down on rejecting and disgusting Mu Yunyi, in the final analysis, it is just an instinctive reaction of self-preservation, after all, how can a person who can never reveal his true heart allow another person with the same characteristics and thoughts to appear by his side?

"Yunyi's child, is excellent, then again, she is the princess of a country, and the eldest sister of the new emperor of the West Dome, compared to when she first came to our Dongzhao, her identity is even more precious, and she is the high climb of our Zhenguo Mansion." Jiang's humility at this moment is from the bottom of his heart.

"Mrs. Guogong is too modest, our Dongzhao's Zhenguo Mansion is how many people in the four countries and six cities want to climb, and the little grandfather, a talent, Yushu is in the wind, how can it be said that the Zhenguo Mansion is high!" The Taishi Lady Qin, who was sitting under the Jiang family, hurriedly said unfairly.

Mrs. Taifu, who was sitting opposite the Qin family, also said angrily: "But isn't it, if it weren't for my belly, there were three stunned boys in a row, but whenever there was a girl, I would lick my face and ask the Guogong Mansion to be my in-laws early." "Taifu is an official who teaches *** martial arts, and his wife is also from a general, so he has always spoken from a job, which made the ladies present cover their mouths and chuckle.

Sun Shi disagreed, and continued: "Isn't what I said wrong, our little grandfather is one in a million talents, where is there any saying that he can't climb high!" ”

Their husband is the teacher of the current prince, Su Yan has also studied with the prince in the East Palace since he was a child, and he was raised by the prince and the prince, so Su Yan is a good one in the eyes of their wife.

The eldest princess also opened her mouth and said: "If this marriage is completed, it is what the two emperors are looking forward to, naturally there is no such thing as high or low status, and Yan'er is only a matter of time before Yan'er is crowned the prince of the country, and now it is canonized in advance, it is the emperor who wants to be happy, you, you don't have to have any burden, just use this glory well." ”

Listening to the relief of the eldest princess and everyone, although Jiang Shi didn't say anything, the corners of her tense lips quietly relaxed, and the last worry stuck in her heart finally completely dissipated.

One misty morning, a figure in a dark cloak stopped his horse outside a bamboo garden on the outskirts of Shangling City.

The low door of the bamboo garden was pushed open, and Nian Bai came out of it, "Master, you are back." ”

"Hmm." Mo Yan took off his hood, his voice a little dull.

"You go and rest, the subordinates outside are guarding." These days, his master goes out all night in the evening and comes back early in the morning, and Nian Bai doesn't know what the master has done.

"No, I'm going to get out."

"You're going out now?"

"Yes."

Nian Bai is curious, but he also knows the master's temperament best, even if he takes the initiative to ask, he will only get an indifferent look, in this world, only when facing that person, his eyes will be soft.

So he never talked too much, and silently led the horse to the stable to feed the grass.

Mo Yan entered the house and changed into clothes, and after a stick of incense, he set off again.

When he walked out of the courtyard and took the reins from Nian Bai's hand, he threw a sentence at him: "The rumors of Shangling City in the past few days, go and investigate." ”

"Streams, rumors?" Nian Bai was stunned for a moment, the master went out and returned at night in the past two days, he thought that the master should not have heard of those rumors in Shangling City, so he didn't talk much, he didn't expect it......

"What did the master say?" Nian Bai regretted closing his eyes after he spoke, where did he have the courage to pretend to be confused in front of his master?!
