King Duan was not born as a concubine, and was slightly older than the current crown prince.

Because of his mother Zhao Guifei, who was very favored by the emperor, he was valued by the emperor a little.

Later, the two brothers-in-law who were slightly older than him had different hearts and turmoil one after another, and ended up in a bleak end. Immediately afterwards, the third son of the queen, who is now the crown prince, was promoted to the position of prince.

But the prince has been cowardly because of the fate of the previous two brothers, and he was born stupid, and the position of the prince has been trembling all these years.

At the same time, King Duan gradually showed his talent in governing the country, and in comparison with the two, he was more favored by the emperor.

Now, behind him, he is first supported by the Zhao family, who holds an important position in the middle of the book, and later asks to marry the eldest daughter of the Cui family.

Even if the Cui family is not very close to him on the surface, but with this in-law, when he and the prince are fighting, they will naturally get a little more help.

But He Lingjiang is not very optimistic about him.

From the Lanyin Pavilion a year ago, to now, although this king can stand up better than the prince, he is not the appearance of a Ming monarch.

As for the other princes, they are either still young, or their mothers are weak and unable to compete.

He Lingjiang couldn't help but have a headache, she had no intention of getting involved in the battle for the storage position, but since she had entered this game, she had to think about it thoroughly.

Now Xifan is eyeing the tiger, whether it is for the He family or for the world of the Great Zhou, it is the best choice to choose Mingjun to serve him.

It's a pity that in this huge royal family, she hasn't been able to find such a future lord.

Could it be that you can only settle for the next best thing?

She must get rid of that Yongmu, and now that the prince is very dependent on her, if she wants to start, it will naturally be much more convenient to succeed through Duanwang.

In this way, it is no different from supporting Duanwang.

He Lingjiang and He Xiangshan were still weighing up, and early the next morning, people from the Zhao family came to the door to send a thank you gift.

In order to avoid people's eyes, the giver enters through a side door.

is different from ordinary people's jade antiques and silk ayaluo, which are full of large boxes, but the things sent by the Zhao family are only a small wooden box.

The steward of the Zhao family bowed slightly, held the wooden box with both hands and handed it to He Lingjiang's father and daughter: "He Zhongcheng and He Qi Niangzi, this is a thank you gift specially prepared by the head of my family for yesterday's incident, and I hope the two of you will accept it with a smile." ”

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the wooden box, and saw a few paper-like things neatly placed inside.

She stretched out her hand and swept it over, it was a title deed, and it was still within the boundaries of every inch of land in Yingdu.

"Zhao Gong, what does this mean?" He Ling Jiang's eyebrows raised slightly.

The housekeeper of the Zhao family said with a smile: "This is specially selected by the head of the family, and the locations are all first-class, and I hope He Qiniang likes it." ”

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, she asked Zhao Ying to apologize and thank him yesterday, but she was just deliberately breaking his face, as for the thank you gift sent to the door, I think it was just for show.

Unexpectedly, he was so generous.

Which of these two houses is not worth tens of thousands?

This Zhao family is from the Shu family, and it has only soared to the time of Zhao Guifei, and it has only been 30 years, although it has also tired a lot of family business during this period, but it is far from the family that has been inherited for a hundred years.

But now, with a wave of his hand, he easily gave away two houses with every inch of land, although there was the intention of King Duan to win over the He family, but it could also be seen that the Zhao family had been putting things in their money bags for so many years.

He Lingjiang put the title deed into the box, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Zhao Gong." ”

"Please also ask the housekeeper to go back and tell Gong Xie that He Qi is not a person who likes to hold grudges, since the thank you gift has been received, I have also seen the apologies and thanks of Gong Zhao during this period, and it is indeed sincere. In this way, yesterday's events are completely over. After that, neither He nor Zhao mentioned it again. ”

With that, she motioned for Qiong Zhi to come forward and take the wooden box.

When the housekeeper of the Zhao family heard her words, he was stunned at first, and his hands were empty before he could react.

That's it?

The head of the family had told him before, and this courtesy was also a temptation.

If the He family was unwilling to stand at Duanwang's place, in order to avoid falling into the mouth, they naturally did not dare to accept such a generous gift.

But if you take it calmly and respond, it is a sign of attitude.

But what is the matter with the words of the seventh lady?

Completely finished, no longer mentioned?

She never departed from yesterday's events, but she didn't mention the heart of the family master, how should he explain when he goes back?

The steward of the Zhao family opened his mouth to ask, but saw that He Lingjiang had already waved his sleeves: "Send the steward of the Zhao family out of the house." ”

Immediately afterwards, a tall and dark-skinned maid beside her came to him: "Steward Zhao, please." ”

Before he could make a move, he felt that he was being held by the handmaid's arm, so he was "invited" out.

He Xiangshan looked at He Lingjiang leisurely drinking tea, and sighed softly: "Lingjiang, you accepted the gift of the Zhao family, but you have a decision in your heart?" ”

He Lingjiang shook his head honestly: "No." ”

"Then you're still doing this!" He Xiangshan couldn't help but be helpless.

He Lingjiang smiled: "Although the house is expensive, Grandpa thinks that the reputation of Zhao Sanniang, as well as the Zhao family and the Duanwang Mansion from the attack of the prince's party, are not worth two mansions?" ”

"If he sincerely thanks, I will accept these two houses."

"You have a clear conscience, but you also know that Zhao Ying has ulterior motives for this gift. Since you don't plan to stand in the place of King Duan, and now you accept it like this, it is inevitable that you will misunderstand and fall into your mouth. "He Xiangshan Road.

He Lingjiang bowed slightly: "Grandpa said yes, but my daughter doesn't plan to push Duanwang's side too far, and now the boundary of this model lake is just right." ”

"Hey!" He Xiangshan sighed softly, so that he naturally understood what Jiang meant, whether it was the prince or the Duanwang, it was best for the He family not to be involved.

But Jiang said that Princess Yongmu was a person from the Divine Palace and would have to be removed, so they naturally had to leave room for maneuver in the face of King Duan.

"You'd better be careful, but don't let those people calculate."

"My daughter saves." He Lingjiang blinked and said, "What's more, isn't there still Grandpa you watching from the sidelines?" ”

He Xiangshan doesn't look obvious, but he has not been the head of the family for many years, He Lingjiang has a lot of means, but it is inevitable that there are places that he can't take into account, so he has to guide him from the side to avoid worries.

Seeing her completely carefree appearance, He Xiangshan couldn't help but smile, no matter what, Jiang is always reassuring to do things, he, who is a grandfather, listens to her.

He Lingjiang went back to his yard, changed his clothes and was about to go to the Buyuan Division again, when he saw Qingzhu come in with a post: "Seventh lady, the people from Taiqingguan sent the post over." ”

"Too clear?" He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, and then thought of someone.
