Chapter 475: Competing for the Crown Prince's Position
Jiang Qianbai decided to take Yue Wan'er to see the queen mother.
Now that the crown prince and Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who are the biggest threat to him in the imperial city, have been executed, it is impossible to have any impact on themselves, not to mention that the queen mother has also asked who his sweetheart is before, and she wants to see it with her own eyes.
But when Yue Qingming knew about this, he didn't agree that Jiang Qianbai was going to take Yue Wan'er to the queen so soon.
Jiang Qianbai was puzzled: "Yue Qingming, haven't you always hoped that Yue Wan'er and I could be together?" Why don't you agree with me taking Yue Wan'er to see the queen now? β
"It's not a safe time yet."
"What do you mean?"
Yue Qingming sighed and explained: "Now that I have been sentenced to beheading, I will die soon, now that the position of the East Palace is vacant, many people want to sit in that position, you and Jiang Qiancheng are now the most eye-catching and most likely people to sit in that position in the entire imperial city." β
"But I don't want to be a prince at all!"
"Is this something you can decide?" Yue Qingming frowned and said, "What's more, others don't know what you think in your heart, even if they do, can they rest assured that you are at ease in the imperial city and have so much power?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Qianbai suddenly fell into deep thought, he couldn't refute Yue Qingming's questioning, because what she said made sense, she was indeed very eye-catching, if she took Yue Wan'er to the palace to see the queen at this time, it would inevitably make people target Yue Wan'er, and her safety would not be guaranteed at that time!
He frowned, his expression serious, it seemed that he was still in a hurry, these things should have been considered by him.
Yue Qingming said again: "I know that you are anxious to be with your third sister openly, but now is not the time." β
Jiang Qianbai nodded, his expression still serious: "I understand what you mean, but ......"
"But what?"
Jiang Qianbai hesitated, but still said frankly: "But I have already been with Yue Wan'er after I settled the prince's affairs before, and she lives in my mansion now." β
"What?!" Yue Qingming stood up violently and subconsciously slapped the table: "I don't know about this matter!" β
"I asked Wan'er not to tell you for the time being."
Yue Qingming raised his forehead, and suddenly felt that his head hurt very much, these two guys are not children anymore, why are they messing around! Especially Jiang Qianbai, he has been in the imperial city for so many years, how can he still be so naΓ―ve!
Jiang Qiancheng, who was sitting next to him and had never spoken, stood up and pressed Yue Qingming's shoulder to let her sit down, and then said: "Since Jiang Qianbai has already brought Yue Wan'er home to live, then let them be, there are so many people in the Five Kings' Mansion, it is more than enough to protect one Yue Wan'er." β
"I'm worried about the future."
"Let's talk about it later," Jiang Qiancheng poured her a cup of tea: "What hasn't happened yet, who knows what it will be, since they are in love with each other, they can't stop it." β
Yue Qingming drank tea, although this is the truth, but Yue Wan'er is her sister anyway, and it is natural for her to worry about her, not to mention that she promised her father, and she must not let Yue Wan'er be hurt.
"Jiang Qianbai," Yue Qingming put down the teacup and said sharply: "You must ensure the safety of the third sister, if something happens to her, I will never let you go!" β
"I know, I'm not going to let her get hurt in the slightest, I swear!"
"It's useless to swear, you have to do it!"
"I will."
Looking at the back of Jiang Qianbai leaving, Yue Qingming was very helpless, she didn't expect that this time Jiang Qianbai would be so impatient to be with Yue Wan'er, it stands to reason that Jiang Qianbai should know the situation in the imperial city very well.
Jiang Qiancheng patted Yue Qingming's shoulder and comforted: "With Jiang Qianbai here, Yue Wan'er will be fine, he still has the ability to protect a person." β
"I'm just worried that the third sister will be hurt because of this, and someone with a heart will use the third sister to threaten Jiang Qianbai, that's not the result I want to see."
"I'll make people pay attention to the movements around Yue Wan'er, and I won't let that happen."
Yue Qingming nodded, I hope the third sister and Jiang Qianbai can be safe!
Jiang Qianbai originally wanted to go to Jinxiu Cloth Village to see Yue Wan'er, but not long after he walked out of Mingyue Tower, the palace sent someone to send him a message: "Lord, the queen wants to see you, please enter the palace now." β
"What's the matter?"
"I just said that it was important things, but I didn't say what it was."
Jiang Qianbai frowned, and he didn't want to go.
But Ye Xiuwen said: "Lord, since the queen mother has something to see you, you should still go to meet you, after all, you still need the help of the queen mother in the future." β
Jiang Qianbai thought of Yue Wan'er, if there was no queen mother to let go, it would be impossible to be with her really by virtue of the identity gap between herself and Yue Wan'er, so in the end, Jiang Qianbai still followed the eunuch into the palace to see the queen mother.
As soon as the queen mother saw him, she looked at him with a worried expression: "You are still in the mood to run around now, do you know what the situation is in the court now?" β
"What's the situation?"
"They are all discussing the matter of asking His Majesty to re-establish the prince!"
The expression on Jiang Qianbai's face was flat, it seemed that he was really told by Yue Qingming, the prince had just been knocked down, and some people couldn't wait to get the position in the East Palace.
The queen mother looked at Jiang Qianbai with a look of indifference, and was a little unhappy: "Why are you like a nobody, isn't this kind of thing worth worrying about and caring about?" β
"I never wanted to be a prince, and I don't want to be an emperor in the future."
"You!" The queen mother covered her chest, her eyes full of anger: "Do you want to be angry with me!" β
"Jiang Qiancheng is more suitable for that position than me."
The queen mother's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Jiang Qianbai, do you know what you're talking about?" What is that Jiang Qiancheng, you are the most suitable person for the position of the prince of the East Palace! It's always been you! That position was supposed to be yours! β
Jiang Qianbai's face was still calm, from beginning to end, he never thought about being the prince, nor did he want to be the emperor, if he really wanted to, the position of the prince would have been his own, but he didn't mean that.
The queen mother slapped the table, her eyes full of anger: "I really don't understand what is going on in your head, do you want to give up the position of the crown prince?" β
"I said, Jiang Qiancheng is the most suitable person for that position, I'm not," Jiang Qianbai looked at the queen mother with a sincere look: "I don't want to sit in that position either, that's not the life I want." β
