Chapter 25: Hand Talks
Chu Jianyu pinched the jade chess pieces in his hand and gently knocked on the edge of the chessboard, and the sound of the beat never stopped. After a long time, Chu Jianyu dropped the jade chess piece in his hand.
However, it is no longer possible to save the decline, and this son is just a struggle before failure.
"Many years have passed, and the queen's chess skills are the same as before."
"Why did the emperor suddenly think of the concubine search game?"
"The children are older and have their own ideas."
Empress Song chuckled and asked, "Which one is giving the emperor a headache this time?" Three Princes or Four Princes? Or is it the imperial queen who has already gone south? ”
"It's all ......"
"The original intention of the three princes to be willing to deal with the matter of controlling the water, it is impossible for the emperor not to see it. It's a pity that the concubine's child is alive, and she thinks that she has reached the age of sharing the burden for the emperor. ”
Chu Jianyu's brows jumped, and he asked in a deep voice, "The queen still cares about this?" ”
Empress Song's smile narrowed, and she asked slowly, "Isn't the emperor worried?" That's also the emperor's child......"
After that, Queen Song stroked her flat lower abdomen, and her face was covered with love.
"The fetus in the concubine's womb has been formed, and it is still a man. If there is no Concubine Ning...... "Queen Song's eyes grew sad, "If there is no her, the concubine's child can be born smoothly and grow up." ”
"It was just an accident!"
"But the concubine has no children! What the concubine lost was the opportunity to be a mother! ”
"The heirs in the palace are all your children!"
"This is different...... Queen Song shook her head sluggishly, "It's not the same ......"
Chu Jianyu felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't want to reprimand Queen Song much, so he had to sigh.
"I have decided to return the phoenix seal to the queen."
Empress Song wiped the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes, and her lips opened slightly: "It seems that the third prince has done something out of the ordinary recently." It seems that they are no longer satisfied with the competition for the position of prince. ”
"There are some words, the queen said carefully."
"What the emperor said when he was newly married, can you still figure it out?"
"It's hard to chase a horse if you say it."
Queen Song hooked her lips and said, "The concubine understands." The concubine added some color to the small gathering of the virtuous concubine, and the emperor would not blame it. ”
Chu Jianyu glanced at Empress Song in displeasure, and after hesitation, he said, "Don't go too far. ”
Empress Song curtsied towards Chu Jianyu and said, "The concubine will grasp the balance and be a good blade in the hands of the emperor." ”
Queen Song didn't say anything more and turned to leave, Chu Jianyu looked at Queen Song who was still outstanding but had passed away, and there was a faint throbbing pain in her heart.
On February 12, the Flower God Meeting was held as scheduled in Princess Waju's annex. The woman who was chosen as the god of flowers changed into the costume of each moon flower god at Tingyuken in the annex. Zhou Jingyan sat in Tingyuxuan and let the maid of the princess's mansion comb her hair.
"Miss Zhou......" the maid said distressedly, "Can you sit still?" ”
"I'm sorry."
After a simple sweep, Li Jiangwei still didn't find it. Zhou Jingyan was a little deflated and depressed in her heart. Hua Shenxuan failed to talk to Li Jiangwei several times, and his brother's state not only did not improve, but became more and more strange.
After finally gaining freedom, Zhou Jingyan continued to look for Li Jiangwei's traces. Who knew that Li Jiangwei didn't find it, but it attracted Jiang Xuemian.
Jiang Xuemian, who was dressed in the costume of a camellia god, stood in front of Zhou Jingyan, with a red gold ring around her neck.
"Sister Zhou, don't come to harm?"
Zhou Jingyan was stunned: "Mianmian ......"
"Don't call me Mianmian!" Jiang Xuemian choked: "How can you have me and Sister Yingluo in your heart now?" Just now, I was looking left and right to find the one surnamed Li, right? ”
"Mianmian! Listen to me! ”
"What is there to say?"
Zhou Jingyan was stunned and smiled helplessly: "Yes, what is there to say?" You and I are destined to be impossible to do casually. Since you and my father have chosen to take different paths, our relationship will never be restored. ”
Pity herself and fantasize that her father's decision will not affect their friendship. even tried to break through the defense line at home and contact Jiang Xuemian and them.
"You and I will say goodbye to each other, and leave some thoughts for each other."
"Thoughts? I thought it was all ruined as early as the moment you took refuge in Li Jiangwei! ”
Zhou Jingyan couldn't refute it, and she didn't want to refute it.
"What do you want to do?"
"Do nothing."
Jiang Xuemian had no intention of leaving, not doing anything should not be like this. Zhou Jingyan decided to leave and inquired about Li Jiangwei's whereabouts in another place, but Jiang Xuemian followed as soon as she took a step.
Zhou Jingyan thought it was her own illusion and prepared to leave Tingyuxuan. As soon as the hind foot stepped out of the threshold, Jiang Xuemian followed. After walking out of Tingyuxuan for a distance, Zhou Jingyan stopped, turned around and turned back to Jiang Xuemian.
"Why follow me?"
"I'm going to see if you're going to find the one surnamed Li."
Zhou Jingyan was silent.
"Sure enough! I guessed it! Jiang Xuemian lowered her voice, but the anger in her words was not concealed in the slightest: "Why? ”
"I had no choice. But you, why follow? ”
"Because I'm not happy! You are obviously my sister Zhou, why do you want to be mixed up with that Li Jiangwei? ”
Zhou Jingyan sighed lightly and asked again, "Do you want to come with you, or do you want to ...... Ning Yingluo's proposal? ”
"This has nothing to do with Sister Yingluo!"
"Really?"
"Do you even want to doubt Sister Yingluo now?"
Zhou Jingyan was silent, she was a little afraid when she thought of what Ning Tianye did at that flower banquet.
If the Ning family was eyeing the Zhou family at that time, would Ning Yingluo be sincere in befriending him? As soon as I think about it, the good memories of the past gradually become distorted.
"What's she going to do today?"
"Sister Yingluo is upright, and I'm not afraid that you know! Sister Yingluo was favored by Princess Heshou, and now she is talking to the eldest princess. As for Li Jiangwei...... Jiang Xuemian sneered and said, "I might as well tell you that Li Jiangwei, who you are thinking of, has already climbed to the Fengyang County Lord, and is following the Fengyang County Lord." She doesn't care about you at all! ”
Zhou Jingyan sighed in her heart and hurriedly looked towards the altar.
"The county lord of Fengyang hasn't looked for her yet, and she herself is sticky, it's really embarrassing."
"What you said is true?" Zhou Jingyan asked nervously.
"Naturally, ......" Before Jiang Xuemian finished speaking, Zhou Jingyan lifted her skirt and hurriedly walked over there. Jiang Xuemian was stunned, frowned, and hurriedly followed.
Jiang Xuemian really didn't lie in this matter, Li Jiangwei was strolling on the bridge with the county lord of Fengyang at this time.
"The last time I saw you, I wanted to talk to you more." The county lord of Fengyang smiled: "There is one thing I have wanted to ask you for a long time. ”
"County Lord, please speak, Jiang Wei knows everything."
"Then I won't turn around and ask, what is your relationship with His Royal Highness King Qin?"
