Chapter Seventy-Four: The Struggle for the Throne
Nod...... What does it mean to nod your head!
Jiang Wanxiu was a little weak, and saw that there was no one around, so she said the right thing, "Lord Wang, this time the courtiers came, and they still wanted to be bold enough to ask the prince about it." ”
Seeing her serious attitude, Nan Lichen hummed lightly and motioned for her to ask.
Jiang Wanxiu coughed lightly, a pair of dark eyes stared at his chin, "I don't know the prince, but you have the will to compete for the big position?" ”
Nan Lichen's body instantly burst out with a murderous aura, as sharp as a sword that had just come out of its sheath, staring at Jiang Wanxiu's immature and beautiful face tightly, and lowered his voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu squinted her eyes and smiled, as cunning as a fox, sure enough, what man doesn't love power and doesn't seek the country.
"I can help you, although I don't have a big background behind me now, but I don't know if I am qualified to form an alliance with the prince."
While speaking, a momentum spread from Jiang Wanxiu's body, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of dazzling confidence.
It doesn't matter if there is a background behind her, but the girl in front of him makes him care a little.
Looking at Jiang Wanxiu's immature and confident face, Nan Lichen somehow was a little confused, and then said, "Okay." ”
Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Jiang Wanxiu's mouth was evil, "In this way, I will swear by high-five, how about it?" ”
With King Jing, the Jiang family will not be framed because of the prince's affairs in the future, this idea germinated after Jiang Wanxiu saw Nan Lichen for the first time.
Nan Lichen indifferently stretched out his palm, his eyes staring at Jiang Wanxiu tightly.
Hearing the sound of a light high-five, Jiang Wanxiu breathed a sigh of relief and raised a bright smile, "After the matter is over, the courtiers will retire first." With that, he turned around and left.
Looking at her petite back, Nan Lichen covered her heart, her heartbeat fluttering, and she felt something different.
An inexplicable feeling spread in the atrium, making Nan Lichen, who had always been calm, a little irritable.
After the art banquet, Jiang Wanxiu and Bai Qingqing and Jiang Wanwen were in a carriage, and after what happened at the art banquet, it is estimated that Bai Qingqing hated Jiang Wanxiu even more.
Looking at Jiang Wanwen in front of her, Jiang Wanxiu hooked the corners of her lips, this Jiang Wanwen saw Bai Qingqing and took a big breath, probably the happiest.
Back in Jiang's Mansion, the old lady and Mrs. Jiang were waiting, they wanted to know eagerly who this fairy fell on, after all, the eldest princess's deterrent power in the royal family is not covered, and the woman who can get the eldest princess's favor will definitely rise to prominence.
After getting out of the carriage, Bai Qingqing threw himself into the arms of the old lady, sniffing and pitiful, "Grandmother, Qingqing is wronged!" ”
The old lady frowned, a little distressed, and scolded, "Go in and talk about it, what kind of system!" ”
Bai Qingqing's eyes were red, and when she turned her head to look at Jiang Wanxiu, she was implicitly proud, looking at how she asked the old lady to punish Jiang Wanxiu!
After entering the hall and retiring the servants, the old lady sat down and asked, "Qingqing, what did you say?" ”
With tears in her eyes, Bai Qingqing knelt down with a thud, which frightened the old lady very distressed, "Qingqing get up, the ground is cold, if something happens, I will definitely make decisions for you." ”
The old lady's keen instincts told her that something must have happened, and even the clothes on the two of them had changed.
Bai Qingqing shook his head painfully, choked up and said:
"Grandmother, you have to call the shots for your granddaughter! Obviously, it was Wanxiu's sister who pulled Qingqing into the water, but she didn't admit it, and slandered Qingqing in public for pulling her into the water! Qingqing's reputation is ruined! What face will go out in the future! ”
The reputation of her daughter's family is the most important, the old lady put the teacup on the table heavily, looked at Jiang Wanxiu and said coldly: "Qingqing is your cousin!" How can you bite your sister indiscriminately and ruin her reputation! In the past, you just messed around in the house, what is the art banquet? How dare the eldest princess do such an ugly thing under her nose! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's heart was cold, and when she looked at the old lady's angry face, she suddenly laughed mockingly, "Just listening to her words, did grandmother sentence her granddaughter!" The granddaughter is not convinced! ”
When the old lady heard this, she became even more angry, and said coldly: "Not convinced? Are you still messing around? Your cousin's injury is just right, and her mood is not straight and low, why don't you let her make her ugly......"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's back was straight, her body was arrogant, and her unparalleled elegance was undoubtedly displayed, with a clear mockery on her pretty face, her eyes were even colder, and she sneered lightly.
"I'm messing around? I don't know who made such a scandal, just jump into the water by yourself, and you have to pull me! If it weren't for the testimony of the prince and King Jing, I'm afraid that the black cauldron that murdered my cousin would not have been exposed! ”
The amount of information contained in the words was so great that the old lady almost thought that she had heard it wrong.
Someone testified that Qingqing pushed Wan Xiu down? Or the prince and the king?
Now how could the old lady not know that she had been liquidated by Bai Qingqing, glared at Bai Qingqing, after all, she still couldn't bear the punishment, and turned her head aside, "Qingqing has been grounded for ten days, and I can't sue at will in the future." ”
Bai Qingqing also understood the situation, pouted and immediately pleaded guilty with a panicked face, "It's all Qingqing's fault, please punish my grandmother, Qingqing also misunderstood, I thought it was my sister who pushed me, and now I think it must be me who accidentally slipped off!" ”
With her granddaughter on one side and her granddaughter on the other, the old lady glanced at Su Qianyu apologetically, and her tone softened, "That's ...... Wanxiu, it's better to let Qingqing give you tea to make amends, and this matter will be written off! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's heart was astringent and bitter, and she was lightly blessed, "The granddaughter went back to the room first." ”
Don't even mention the tea ceremony to make amends!
The old lady knew that she was ashamed, and she didn't care about her attitude, so she waved her hand and let Jiang Wanxiu retreat.
When Jiang Wanxiu's figure disappeared at the door of the hall, the old lady turned her head and asked Jiang Wanwen, who had always been light and breezy, "Is there a selection of the fairies today?" ”
glanced at Jiang Wanwen with a cold face beside her with some expectation.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwen carefully hid the ridicule in her heart, and replied respectfully, "Back to grandmother, it's elected, that person is the eldest sister!" ”
"What?!" Not only the old lady was surprised, but even Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
In their eyes, Jiang Wanxiu has always been brilliant, how could the name of this art fairy fall on her head?!
Mrs. Jiang heard that her daughter had won the lottery, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
The old lady had a complicated look in her eyes and waved her hand, "I'll pick up some good cloth and send it over to make a few new clothes for Wanxiu." ”
Mrs. Jiang was happy in her heart, and blessed her body with a virtuous face, "Got it." ”
Bai Qingqing cursed in his heart with an angry face, "Why did that slut get the name of the fairy!" And that piano technique, where did you learn it? ”
If she could know where Jiang Wanxiu learned it, she would definitely be better than her!
Jiang Wanxiu walked out of the hall, and Xia Zhu and Xi Ling, who were waiting, followed, Xi Ling frowned and said worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
They have been instructed not to follow Miss since Jiang Wanxiu met Guo Xinlei, and they heard some gossip when they came back just now, and they guessed in their hearts.
Hearing the angry rebuke of the old lady in the hall, he was even more worried.
Jiang Wanxiu's face turned slightly pale, and she laughed softly, "I'm fine." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the world was spinning, and his body fainted.
Fortunately, the spirit hand quickly supported Jiang Wanxiu, and the two didn't care about anything else, so they helped Jiang Wanxiu back to Fang Aixuan on the left and right.
When Qiu Ju saw that the young lady came back in a coma, she was even more anxious that her eyes were red and she urged the doctor to do so.
After the doctor checked the pulse, he concluded that Jiang Wanxiu was fine, but he fainted with a little wind and cold in the water during the day, and he was fine after taking medicine and sleeping for a while.
It wasn't until the evening that Jiang Wanxiu woke up leisurely, and when she saw that the three of them were surrounding her, she was clear in her heart, "Go and rest." ”
Xia Zhu saw that Miss woke up, and hurriedly went over with a bowl of chicken soup, "Miss, you can be regarded as awake, the chicken soup that the slave maid just boiled, Miss hurry up and taste it while it's hot." ”
Jiang Wanxiu blinked and took the chicken soup, "Xia Zhu, how long have I been asleep?" ”
"For a long time, the housekeeper sent a lot of cloth just now, saying that he wanted the young lady to make a few sets of clothes."
Jiang Wanxiu drank the chicken soup, and coldness flashed in her eyes, "Xia Zhu, then take it down and make a few sets of clothes for Mama Zheng and them." ”
The kindness sent to the door in vain can't be pushed, and this is what she deserves.
Xia Zhu reported with joy. "The slave maid has written it down, miss, in a few days, the eldest young master will come back from the ghost doctor Guan Yan's treatment!"
Jiang Wanxiu suppressed the excitement in her heart, some time ago, her brother said that he was going to Yaolu to treat his illness, and it would take a while, she was still a little reluctant at that time, but she didn't expect to come back soon, "Xia Zhu, in a few days I will go to Fuyuan Temple to incense and ask my brother for a peace charm." ”
Hearing this, Xi Ling was a little worried, and frowned, "Miss, you have just won the title of the Fairy of the Arts Exhibition, and the people of Zhaoge and the second miss this night, I'm afraid they won't be convinced!" If there is a bad intention......"
What Xi Ling said also made sense, Jiang Wanxiu had already thought of it, but she raised her eyebrows, "Then what are you afraid of?" Hide it first, and when the time comes, even if they have the ability, they will definitely not have time to do anything. ”
Seeing that the young lady was confident, Xi Ling nodded and agreed, planning to pack up her things secretly.
It's another sunny day, Jiang Wanxiu cleaned up, and Xia Zhu Xiling on the side also packed up her things, "Go tell the housekeeper about the incense." ”
Xia Zhu should be, and soon, the group got into the carriage smoothly.
Lifting the curtains and seeing the people coming and going on the street outside, it was bustling, Jiang Wanxiu pursed the corners of her mouth, she seems, she hasn't been shopping for a long time?
"Xi Ling, go and order a few sets of men's clothes, and then there are fans and the like."
"Yes, master."
Out of the city, it gradually became less crowded.
A trace of worry flashed in Xi Ling's heart, and she said in a defensive tone: "Miss, I seem to have seen a figure flash into the woods, the person who came is not good, do you want me to go and investigate?" ”
The carriage walked on a wide road, next to the woods and weeds.
Jiang Wanxiu frowned, she didn't think Bai Qingqing had such connections, she just went out here, and she sent someone over there.
If it's not Bai Qingqing, then who is it?
Jiang Wanxiu lightly spit out these words, "Go ahead, be careful." ”
Not long after Xi Ling left, a few followers shouted from outside the carriage, "There are assassins!" There are assassins! ”
Then came the sound of swords piercing into flesh.
Oops! This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! Jiang Wanxiu's eyes widened, and she immediately gave an order, "Xia Zhu, get out of the car quickly, run as far as possible, and go find someone to help!" Fast! ”
He jumped out of the carriage with his skirt on his shoulder, and more than a dozen people in black approached closer and closer, and the swords in their hands shone with dazzling light.
Xia Zhu ran to Jiang Wanxiu and stretched out his arms, like a chick protecting a cub, "Miss, run!" ”
Seeing this, Jiang Wanxiu's eyes were a little moist, and she was moved by Xia Zhu's recklessness, but she knew that this group of black-clothed people were coming at her, and she didn't want to involve these handmaidens who reacted and blocked in front of her.
There was a look of determination in her eyes, and she ran into the woods with the hem of her skirt as best she could.
