Chapter 135: Confrontation
The chamberlain replied, "The prince is becoming more and more calm, which is a good sign." ”
Emperor Jin An sighed and shook his head: "I'm still a little immature." ”
……
Red walls and green tiles, golden eaves and white stones.
Stepping on the familiar palace road, Qi Changrong looked ahead, and his eyes were empty.
Whether she wants it or not, she finally returned to this court full of right and wrong.
Thinking back to the conversation in the imperial study, she felt cold in her heart.
Even though she had expected this to be the outcome, the man would never care about her life or death, and at this moment she still felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.
And her anger swelled for only a moment, and the next moment it returned to normal.
Xu is anger in her heart has not dissipated, Qi Changrong did not want to return to the East Palace immediately, she first took a turn in the imperial garden and picked a beautiful flower blooming inside.
She has a leisurely demeanor, not arrogant, not impatient, not in a hurry, because she knows that there will be someone who is more anxious than her.
Seemingly idle, wandering in the palace, walking the path she was familiar with over and over again.
She was waiting to see who would be the first to find her.
Fortunately, Qi Changrong didn't wait long, she sat in the stone pavilion to enjoy the coolness, her fingertips playing with the delicate Yueji, and from time to time put it under her nose and sniffed it, so comfortable.
The surrounding palace people subconsciously silenced.
After about a stick of incense, Qi Changrong heard the neat voices of the palace people asking for peace.
"The slave has seen the master."
"No courtesy."
Still the hypocritical and gentle voice in his memory, Qi Changrong's eyes were slightly deep, and he listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer.
When the man stepped into the stone pavilion and turned around again, the complex and changeable emotions in her eyes had disappeared.
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Jiang Bowen bowed with a pure and gentle face.
When it comes to pretending, no one can compare with him.
"The master doesn't have to be polite, don't be lonely." Qi Changrong hurriedly raised his head and helped him weakly.
On the hypocrisy of acting, she is also a good player in the play: "The Taishi is a pillar of a country, and it should be the Taishi of the Lone Dynasty who performs the junior courtesy." ”
Jiang Bowen hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
His eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers on the stone table and asked, "Your Highness is really elegant, you don't know how tired you are after traveling thousands of miles, and you still come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery." ”
Qi Changrong smiled brightly: "It's because I'm tired that I come to the Imperial Garden to see these flowers that are blooming brightly to relieve stress." ”
Flower viewing is secondary, waiting for others to be true.
Qi Changrong didn't expect that the first person to come to the door would be Jiang Bowen, she thought that with his fatherly heart, he must be waiting for Jiang You's return in the Jiang Mansion at this time.
Or set him a feast to catch the wind and wash the dust.
Now it seems that in his eyes, the most important thing is still himself who lives in the East Palace.
Qi Changrong lowered his eyes, covering the deep meaning in his eyes.
was able to come so quickly, she had to re-weigh how much eyeliner Jiang Bowen had in the palace.
Although this is the Imperial Garden, it is the most corner of the Imperial Garden, if she didn't find it on purpose, who would know that she was resting in the stone pavilion?
Jiang Bowen pondered what he said carefully, and then said calmly: "What pressure does Your Highness have?" This time, His Highness succeeded in quelling the chaos in the southeast and relieving the local natural disaster, and the results of the disaster relief were very gratifying, and it must not be long before His Majesty issued a decree to reward him. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Bowen had an indifferent smile in his eyes, and then arched his hand towards Qi Changrong and said: "A few months ago, His Royal Highness congratulated Weichen, and now he is a Weichen to congratulate His Highness." ”
He solved the hidden dangers of water conservancy on the Huai River, which was a contribution.
Qi Changrong pacified the southeast disaster, which was a great achievement.
Even they themselves can't tell who has the most credit.
"It's all yellow and white." Qi Changrong sighed slightly, and said indifferently: "Compared to these, I want my father to reward something else." ”
"What does Your Highness want?" Jiang Bowen was a little curious.
"I heard that the scenery of Jingyang is pleasant, there are peach blossoms for ten miles, but Gu has never seen such a grand occasion, if possible, I just want to see its fragrance and smell the fragrance of peach blossoms everywhere." Qi Changrong stroked his sleeves, his eyes were full of longing, and he looked yearning.
"Although Your Majesty favors you, there are many affairs in Beijing, and Your Highness is afraid that you will be disappointed." The scrutiny in Jiang Bowen's eyes gradually faded.
"yes." Qi Changrong shook his head and sighed: "Yes, I can only think about it, and I can only think about it, and I will talk about it for comfort." ”
Jiang Bowen's gaze moved to the moon flower, and he smiled faintly: "Your Highness's vision is excellent. ”
"Taishi actually likes it too?" Qi Changrong sighed, and then handed the flower to Jiang Bowen without care: "Since the Taishi likes it, Gu will give it to the Taishi." ”
Jiang Bowen, who didn't expect to make this one, was slightly stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, Qi Changrong didn't give him a chance to refuse, and just stuffed the flower into his hand.
The wood is already in the boat, and if he refuses, it seems that he is too deliberate.
After thinking about it, Jiang Bowen accepted it with kindness: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift." ”
"You're welcome." Qi Changrong squinted with a smile, clapped his hands, and said as if unintentionally: "This flower is the best and most colorful in the Imperial Garden, and I couldn't help but fold it off for a while." ”
"As the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird, doesn't it?"
For some reason, hearing her say this, Jiang Bowen could no longer maintain the smile on his face, his expression instantly became extremely stiff, and the haze gathered in his eyes, easily not showing up in front of others.
He fixed his gaze at Qi Changrong, whose face was as usual, and Donggong seemed to have something to say, and it seemed to be mentioned casually.
The moon season in his hand suddenly became extremely heavy, and Jiang Bowen said slowly: "What Your Highness said is reasonable, to blame...... can only blame it for not knowing how to converge and being too ostentatious. ”
This is true of the East Palace, and so is the Jiang family.
Too much swagger, it's not a good thing, he heard it right, Qi Changrong was indeed warning him.
Qi Changrong showed his approval and said with a smile: "The Taishi can understand, today the twelve horses have returned to the house, and the Taishi and him have been separated for a few months, and the heart must be in love, so I will not delay the time for the Taishi family reunion, so I will take the first step." ”
Jiang Bowen bowed his head, and after being surprised, he was calm, and said to him: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
As a royal family, Qi Changrong has a unique advantage, her travel affects the nerves of every courtier, even if Jiang Bowen is powerful, when facing her, every move needs to be cautious.
Just like today, as long as Qi Changrong is the prince one day, he can only see her back one day.
Jiang Bowen's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sense of exploration in his eyes.
Silently slammed on him......
Is it a slight change in the character of the East Palace in the southeast, or has the East Palace always been like this?
It's just that it was hidden too deep in the past few years, so deep that he didn't even find out...
The next moment, he pursed the corners of his lips suddenly, put back the anger in his eyes, pinched Yueji's fingers in vain, and the petals scattered all over the ground.
He stepped on it again and crushed it vigorously until the petals shattered and the juice overflowed and stained the soles of his shoes, then he moved away and instructed others with an indifferent face:
"This official missed, let down His Highness's kindness, clean up here, don't leave traces."
The words fell, and a little eunuch with his head bowed walked out from behind the rockery, I don't know if he happened to pass by, or stayed inside.
Hearing this, the little eunuch nodded: "Yes." ”
A good moon season, first picked off by Qi Changrong, and then crushed into mud by Jiang Bowen.
The situation in this court is strange and unpredictable, and even the flowers in the imperial garden cannot escape.
Footsteps passed by, with indifferent steps and a striking majesty.
When the footsteps disappeared from behind him, the little eunuch raised his head, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and quickly cleaned up the stone pavilion.
On the other side, Qi Changrong, who showed a little edge, was not in a happy mood, her pace changed from slow to fast, and her plain eyes seemed to be surging with monstrous waves in an instant, as if they were about to drown everything.
She was sure that before returning to Beijing, Jiang Bowen received a secret report from the southeast, which may have come from Pang Lu or from someone else.
But there is no doubt that the secret report will definitely point out her careful calculations, in order to improve Jiang Bowen's precautionary heart, and maybe give him an order to kill him as soon as possible.
When calculating Pang Lu, she knew that sooner or later she would be exposed in front of Jiang Bowen.
Rather than bothering him to investigate, and in the end she was jealous because of her deep thoughts, it was better for her to take the initiative to show one or two, so that Jiang Bowen might also feel disdainful because her emotions were too exposed, so as to despise the enemy.
Sometimes, revealing a little bit of a flaw can do amazing things.
However, every time I saw Jiang Bowen's face, the idea of killing him became stronger and stronger.
Qi Changrong's pace was too fast, and he lost his usual demeanor, and the palace people retreated and knelt in front of the palace wall, surprised and surprised at the same time, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Bypassing the complex palace halls, the East Palace is close at hand.
Ji Fang and Shi Xia waited in front of the palace gate from afar, and before Qi Changrong approached, the two flew over.
Ji Fang stopped in front of her with great measure.
Shi Xia is different, as Qi Changrong's nominal concubine, she is naturally unceremoniously hugged by a bear, snuggled in Qi Changrong's arms and cried and laughed, so pitiful.
"Woo woo, Your Highness, you can count it back, if you don't come back, the slave message will become lovesick~"
The waist was pinched.
The corners of Qi Changrong's mouth twitched, his eyes moved to the back of the big tree in front of him, and when he saw a piece of clothing floating there, he made a move, and then slowly hugged Shi Xia in his arms.
smiled and picked up Shi Xia's chin, reassuring her, "Isn't Lone coming back?" Knowing that the beauty is waiting in the palace, after finishing the business alone, she rushed back non-stop, don't cry anymore, you cry lonely will be heartbroken. ”
Heartbroken Qi Changrong didn't know, but she was about to vomit disgustingly by herself.
Beauty, for her, has always been something that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
Ji Fang lowered his head and was silent, just as if he hadn't seen anything.
Such an affectionate tone......
Shi Xia's shoulders trembled slightly, and in Ji Fang's expectations, he naturally thought it was a long-lost reunion and cried with joy.
But Qi Changrong saw something different, she looked down and saw that this little girl was watching a joke, and the joy of laughing in her arms blossomed.
Qi Changrong pulled out a helpless arc on the side of his mouth, and patted the back of her head: "That's it, if you have anything to say, just close the door and say what it looks like to cry outside." ”
