Chapter 280: A Blessing in Disguise

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Chen has been much better recently." Shen Qingyan said gratefully.

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Song De smiled happily, and continued, "You also know about the horse race, and I am going to change Qingyu to accompany him." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qingyan with blazing eyes, "Qingyan, you should know that you and Shen Hou are the two people I trust the most. ”

"Thanks to the emperor's love." Shen Qingyan hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.

Emperor Songde continued, "There is one more thing that I need you to do. ”

"Please make it clear to the emperor." Shen Qingyan immediately listened respectfully.

"After becoming the prince's companion, you will inevitably have to move around the Fengxiang Hall and the East Palace more," Emperor Songde narrowed his eyes, "Help me pay more attention to the queen and the prince." ”

He paused for a moment and added, "Especially the prince, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"I understand." Shen Qingyan was a little suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, "Please rest assured, the emperor has tried his best to handle things well." ”

Emperor Songde nodded with satisfaction, "You are the son of Shoujiang, how could I not believe you?" ”

He suddenly laughed, "Qingyan, aren't you curious why I let you stare at the crown prince?" ”

Shen Qingyan knew that his mind was being seen through, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he hurriedly said, "The emperor has his own deep meaning, and the ministers dare not be curious." ”

"You, you," Emperor Song De shook his head with a smile, "He is the same as Shen Hou at a young age, but let me tell you, when he was as old as you, he was bold, and he was not as cautious as you." ”

"It's the courtier's stupidity." Shen Qingyan said with some trepidation, this is the first time that he was summoned by Emperor Songde alone.

Emperor Songde seemed to trust Shen Qingyan very much, and explained to himself, "Actually, I ...... the crown prince Very satisfied, can say no comments, but ......"

He said thoughtfully, "Qingyan, do you understand? I've been sitting in this position for ten years, but I've never met someone or something so satisfying to me, so I've always felt a little uneasy. ”

It's not so much uneasiness as it is fear when you wake up in the middle of the night.

And the biggest problem is that Emperor Song De doesn't know where this fear comes from, what can Yan Qingyu do as a ten-year-old child? What can you threaten yourself?

Emperor Songde even clearly understood that the strength of the East Palace was even inferior to the Fengxiang Palace, but he was uneasy, uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

"Please rest assured, Qingyan must be optimistic about the prince, if there is anything unusual, he will return as soon as possible." Shen Qingyan said in a solemn tone.

"Okay." Emperor Songde nodded, "I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Shen Qingyan asked loudly.

"Nope." Emperor Songde waved his hand, "You go back." ”

"Yes." Shen Qingyan respectfully saluted, "Minister Shen Qingyan retired, congratulations to the emperor." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard Emperor Song De say, "By the way, what do you think of that Jiang Yingning from the Ding'an Hou Mansion?" ”

Shen Qingyan quickly frowned, turned around and replied, "Although Miss Jiang Yingning is only ten years old, she is very intelligent, and she also has an amazing medical skill, which is admirable. ”

Emperor Song De nodded, and said to himself, "In this way, she and the second child are ......."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Shen Qingyan again, "Okay, you can step aside." ”

Shen Qingyan turned around and left, he clearly knew in his mind what Emperor Songde meant just now, Jiang Yingning was going to be a blessing in disguise?

After he returned to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, he told Shen Hou about it as soon as possible.

"Is that so?" Shen Shoujiang was a little surprised, "What did the emperor say personally?" ”

"No, my son just vaguely heard the emperor say that Jiang Yingning and the second child, and he didn't say the rest," Shen Qingyan affirmed, "But guess it should be that." ”

"That's right." Shen Shoujiang nodded in agreement, "This is a good thing, Ying Ning's child is also worth it, but ......"

He warned very seriously, "You can just tell me about this matter, and you are not allowed to mention it with other people, not even your sister, you know?" ”

"The father is relieved, and the son knows it." Shen Qingyan said and said tentatively, "Father, is there really anything wrong with the prince?" ”

His brows furrowed slightly, "But for so many years, the Fengxiang Palace has made frequent moves, but the East Palace has done nothing." ”

"But don't forget, who is everything Fengxiang Hall doing for." Shen Shoujiang said earnestly.

Then, he sighed, "I hope the crown prince won't disappoint the emperor, otherwise he will ......"

Shen Qingyan continued, "Otherwise, this ten-year-old prince would be too terrifying. ”

"yes." Shen Shoujiang walked to the window and looked out of the window with a solemn expression.

In the next two days, Jiang Yingning asked Qiu Tong to send a lot of information about the nobles and young people in Kyoto, and she selected three people from them and took them to find Ji Zhongli.

"Brother Li, you can help me come up with ideas." Jiang Yingning put the portraits of the three of them and some simple information on the table.

Ji Zhongli's face was not good-looking, and he kept his face calm and did not speak.

He knew that Jiang Yingning had done a good job in the past few days, but he didn't expect Jiang Yingning to come and ask for his opinion.

Jiang Yingning ignored Ji Zhongli's stinky face, took out a portrait and said, "This person is in business at home, and his appearance is okay, he must be willing to enter the Hou Mansion, what does Brother Li think?" ”

Ji Zhongli didn't speak, and the hand on his side gradually clenched into a fist.

"Don't like it?" Jiang Yingning took out the second one again, "This person has a mediocre appearance, but he loves storytelling, which is very interesting, and he can make Yingning happy every day, what do you think of my brother?" ”

Ji Zhongli sneered, "Why don't you find a juggling class leader?" Wouldn't it be better to change tricks to make you happy every day? ”

"That's right, what my brother said is right, Ying Ning wrote it down and let Qiu Tong find it." Jiang Yingning nodded thoughtfully.

Ji Zhongli's fists clenched even tighter.

"And this, he is a weak scholar, I heard that his health is not very good," Jiang Yingning said with a regretful expression, "I don't know if he won't live to the day I get married." ”

Ji Zhongli felt that he had opened his eyes, and looked at the little girl in front of him with some disbelief, "What do you have in your head?" ”

"It's all good things that my brother taught me." Jiang Yingning said proudly.

Ji Zhongli slammed the table, "You took everything I taught to feed the dogs, right?" Looking for these crooked melons and cracked dates, is it not happy for me? ”

"Why aren't you happy with your brother?" Jiang Yingning blinked her eyes and looked at Ji Zhongli puzzled.

She seemed to be a little aggrieved, "I first asked my brother to help, but I didn't want to leave my brother, but now I have changed my mind?" ”
