As soon as he heard this, Qi Changrong was slightly stunned and immediately stopped his pen and said, "Present." ”

Ji Fang bowed his waist slightly, put the handkerchief that had been protected in his hand for a long time on the desk smoothly, and took two steps back.

The moment he opened the silk cloth, after seeing what was breaded inside, Qi Changrong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a shallow almost non-existent surprise swept through his eyes.

In an instant, Shi Xia froze, and an extremely crazy guess suddenly poured into her heart, making her unable to recover for a long time.

Ji Fang inadvertently raised his eyes to see that after seeing that the thing was a rouge box, his eyes widened by two points, and he said in a stiff voice: "Didn't the general send it by mistake?" ”

How could a general send such a feminine thing to the crown prince of a country?!

Yes, apart from sending the wrong one, Ji Fang couldn't find any other reason.

Hearing this, Qi Changrong nodded slowly, agreeing with Ji Fang's speculation: "The general has always done things like this, just get used to it, you go down first." ”

After Ji Fang left, Qi Changrong took out the rouge box openly and put it in the palm of his hand to play with, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, looking extremely satisfied with this gift.

Seeing this, there was something else that Shi Xia didn't understand, she endured the fear in her heart, took a deep breath and asked slowly: "Your Highness, does the general know your identity as a ......?"

After a short silence, Qi Changrong nodded.

The worst guess came true, Shi Xia gasped, and the corners of his lips pulled a reluctant smile: "Then Your Highness and General Jun ......"

Qi Changrong raised the things in his hand, and his voice was as calm and indifferent as ever: "As you can see." ”

In an instant, Shi Xia was speechless.

Countless doubts swirled in her heart, but in the end, she couldn't say a word.

I don't know how long it took, but Shi Xia plucked up the courage to ask the last question: "Is everything Your Highness has done out of sincerity, or does you want to completely win over the Jun family?" ”

"These are not the things you should ask."

"There is no next time."

Qi Changrong's face was flat, and his eyes were clearly cold as before, without the slightest blame, but the words that could be said could not be ignored.

Looking at Qi Changrong's eyes, it seemed to be vast, full of unknowns.

At this moment, there was a sudden stinging pain from the corner of his eye, and Shi Xia came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Just now, she tried in vain to meddle in her master's affairs!

Even if it's because of excessive worry, but it shouldn't be.

After realizing that something was wrong, Shi Xia looked away in panic, and only resignedly confessed: "It's the slave who has overstepped." ”

Seeing that she finally woke up, Qi Changrong bowed, and his eyes were two points gentle.

Then he put the rouge box aside, found a travelogue from the shelf, and half-leaned on the soft collapse, looking at it as if no one was around.

Seeing this, Shi Xia knew that this matter should be turned over, and secretly stuck out his tongue, a little frightened.

She knew that His Highness, who had never liked to talk much, might have become a corpse that couldn't speak if it had been someone else who had just asked.

It seems that if she wants to live a long time, she still has to take care of this mouth.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Shi Xia gently kneaded Qi Changrong's damaged knees, and cautiously diverted the topic: "Your Highness, when do you think the ban on our East Palace will be lifted?" ”

"In recent years." Enjoying the comfort in front of him, Qi Changrong replied without raising his head, and while speaking, the travelogue in his hand turned another page.

"Why then?"

The corners of Qi Changrong's lips hooked, but at this time he was patient, and slowly explained to her: "Because at that time, the neighboring countries will send New Year's gifts, and the palace is bound to be very lively. ”

Therefore, at that time, no matter how angry her father is, he will inevitably let her out, otherwise he will cause turmoil in the government and the opposition of all countries, and he will once again be involved in the whirlpool of trouble.

Hearing this, Shi Xia nodded as if she didn't understand, although she didn't understand the battle between the government and the opposition, she knew that His Highness rarely made mistakes, since His Highness said that the ban could be lifted before the year, then it should be so.

After thinking about it, Shi Xia said again: "Has Your Highness chosen the New Year's gift for Your Majesty?" ”

"Alright."

Shi Xia blinked: "What did His Highness prepare?" ”

Why didn't she see it? And I don't know when His Highness prepared it.

Hearing this, Qi Changrong didn't pause, and replied calmly: "Earlier, I found a jade coral in excellent condition in the treasury of the Jun family, and it is suitable to use it as a New Year's gift to my father. ”

Shixia: "......"

She didn't know what to say.

The treasures that His Royal Highness Dare Qing collected from the Jun family were all sent out one by one like this, and they were really generous to others, and they didn't feel distressed?

However, Shi Xia still mentioned euphemistically: "Your Majesty is sitting on the Great Jin Dynasty, what treasure has not been seen, is it too simple to only send jade coral?" ”

If nothing else, at least you have to send something with a heart.

In this way, maybe His Majesty will not bother with her once because of His Royal Highness's filial piety and magnanimity.

As soon as he heard this, Qi Changrong knew what kind of little idea Shi Xia was playing, and couldn't help but knock her head with a book, and sighed: "Do you think that my father is really so easy to fool?" ”

Seeing the scroll falling, Shi Xia said 'oops', but he didn't dare to hide, so he had to rub the place where he was knocked with a bitter face.

Qi Changrong crossed a smile in his eyes, and then said: "No matter what you send this year, it will make him unhappy." ”

In that case, why should she be an eyesore?

The edict of sin is like a huge chasm between them, if Emperor Jin An is unwilling to take the initiative to step over the chasm, even if she tries her best to mend this relationship, it will not help.

Moreover, Qi Changrong had a hunch that this matter would not pass easily, and she didn't know what troubles were waiting for her ahead.

With the nature of his father, he calculated him and the royal family like this, and if he only punished him with a grounding order, it would be too merciful.

It's a pity, even if she knows that her father may have a trick waiting for her, she can only sit back and wait for the punishment to come.

Everything in the East Palace was given by Emperor Jin An, and it was easy for Emperor Jin An to take it back, and when she went out to see it again after the lockdown was lifted, I was afraid that the court would become a different scene.

She just didn't know that her father would give the power in his hands to those people.

……

Qi Changrong guessed well, on December 24, close to the end of the year, when the affiliated ethnic groups and neighboring friendly countries were vying to send New Year's gifts, Emperor Jin An lifted the ban on the East Palace.

After gaining freedom, Qi Changrong realized that some things in the court had undergone extremely bad changes.

For example, Jing Zhaoyin, who was finally replaced, became Jiang Bowen's bag again.

Sitting in that position was one of his henchmen.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong sighed, quite helpless.

Looking at the secret report in his hand, Qi Changrong slowly exhaled a breath, and a furrow was twisted between his eyebrows: "The Jiang family and the Yang family, shook hands and made peace?" ”

Judging from the description on the secret report, the reason why Jiang Bowen has developed so rapidly recently is also because there is no one in the middle to trouble him, so that he has free hands.

"Not really." Hearing this, Luo Yi shook his head, and he also didn't quite understand: "According to the informant's reply, the Jiang family's suppression of the Yang family is still continuing, but the Yang family doesn't seem to be able to fight back and scold or fight back, and they haven't made any moves for a long time." ”

Qi Changrong's tightly knit eyebrows loosened, and he smiled lightly: "That is the Yang family's unilateral desire to shake hands and make peace." ”

She didn't have to guess to know the reason, it must be that Yang Yishu saw that she was weak and could no longer maintain the three-legged situation of the DPRK and China, so she simply fell to Jiang Bowen ruthlessly, wanting to join forces with the two of them.

But how can that be? Once even Yang Yishu falls to Jiang Bowen, who else in the court can compete with him in the future?

Jiang Bowen's arrogance, which she had finally suppressed, was afraid that it would ignite eight feet high in an instant.

Qi Changrong's fingers curled slightly, and he tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, Luo Yi didn't dare to disturb, and stood aside quietly.

After a while, Qi Changrong said: "I heard that Yang Yishu has an industry in Xicheng District, which is extremely prosperous, you go to check it, and by the way, try if Jiang Bowen is tempted, if he is tempted, you will help him destroy it." ”

Luo Yi's expression was solemn, and he immediately received the order: "Subordinates understand!" ”

The New Year is getting closer and closer, according to Qi Changrong's calculations, Jiang Bowen is proud, and there are still many affairs to deal with, he will definitely not have time to take care of the East Palace, if he doesn't look for trouble, the days will pass without shock.

But accidents often happen when you are caught off guard.

On the morning of December 26, an urgent report from Chenzhou came to Beijing.

"Report! There is an urgent report from Chenzhou, the cool people go and return, make stone throwing weapons, and are attacking Chenzhou, Chenzhou is in danger, and he asks for an order to order the boss to return! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the Jinluan Palace, and everyone subconsciously looked at Jun Chen.

Obviously, everyone unanimously reached a consensus that since Chenzhou was a piece of meat that Junchen pulled from Liangguo's mouth, it should be guarded by him.

On the side, Junchen seemed to have no reaction, but in fact, he couldn't help but sink down.

In the past, he only felt that he wanted to escape from the cage of Shangjing as soon as possible and return to the battlefield that belonged to him, even if it was bloody and sweaty.

But now he is a little hesitant, the situation in Beijing is unknown, and the East Palace is in the center of the whirlpool, if he leaves, wouldn't Qi Changrong be alone?

If someone wants to harm her, by the time the news reaches Lincheng, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Emperor Jin An sat on the dragon chair and quickly flipped through the emergency documents from Lincheng, as well as the battle report sent together.

During this period of time, there were three disasters in Chenzhou, all of which were caused by the people of Liangguo in Chenzhou who consciously cooperated with the Liang army stationed outside the city.

The situation is extremely complex.

After reading the battle report, Emperor Jin An laughed angrily: "This Liangguo is really good at picking days!" ”

Seeing that they were about to enter the New Year, it should have been a time for the family to be happy, but they took advantage of the lax change of guard at this time to make a big fuss, clearly wanting everyone to be uneasy and unable to have a good year.
