On the Yong'an Palace, Xiao Guangji, the emperor of Shangque City, was discussing with the minister about establishing a prince.

At present, there are two candidates, one is Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Nie Yunhua, and the other is Xiao Heng, the third prince born to the noble concubine Yan Shuhui.

Xiao Yan has a gentle temperament, is kind and kind, and has a very good reputation in the palace. Even the palace maids and eunuchs treated him equally. He has a pair of peach blossom eyes with affection, and he is beautiful and not mixed with any impurities, and he is one of the few clear eyes in this palace.

He likes plain colors, wears a light-colored court dress, and is not particularly conspicuous when he stands in the crowd, but his temperament is very different from those who have interests in their eyes. Out of the dust without staining, it generally stands out from the crowd

Xiao Heng is completely different from Xiao Yan. Xiao Heng is extremely good-looking and has inherited the appearance of Yan Guifei. His eyebrows are like ink paintings, and his face is like peach blossoms. Xiao Heng is the only son of Yan Guifei, and Yan Guifei is deeply favored, and Xiao Heng is naturally favored. His temperament is not as heavy and steady as Xiao Yan, but he is humorous and informal.

He has always loved to deal with people, and the ministers of the court have a very good relationship with him.

Today, discussing the matter of establishing a reserve, Xiao Heng is bound to win. Although Nie Yunhua is the queen, she has lived in the harem for a long time and never took the initiative to get close to the emperor, and slowly the emperor lost interest in her, and began to respect her like a guest.

Since Yan Guifei entered the palace, all the favors have been taken by her alone. Naturally, those ministers knew which team to stand on.

It's just that Xiao Heng doesn't care about anyone else, except Jiang Duanchen, who has been paying attention to his attitude.

Jiang Duanchen also has some connections in the court, and if he chooses to be his enemy, then things will become complicated. But so far, Jiang Duanchen has not expressed his position.

Xiao Guangji rubbed his head, it stands to reason that Lichu should be the first choice of the eldest prince. Some old ministers also felt that the old system should be followed, but Xiao Yan was too gentle and not suitable for the emperor.

But he is calm and calm compared to Xiao Heng, and he can't find anything wrong in handling political affairs.

It's hard to choose.

"Jiang Aiqing, I see that you haven't expressed your position yet, tell me what you think." Xiao Guangji cast a distressed gaze at Jiang Duanchen.

Jiang Duanchen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is better for the two princes to choose whoever they choose. As long as they are all for me, Xiao, Guotai and the people's safety, Weichen has no objection. ”

Xiao Guangji listened to Jiang Duanchen's words as if he hadn't said anything, and rubbed his temples helplessly, "I'm a little unwell today, let's retreat." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After dispersing, Xiao Heng approached Jiang Duanchen and wanted to test his position.

"Prime Minister Jiang stayed." Xiao Heng called Jiang Duanchen with a smile on his face.

Jiang Duanchen's eyes were gloomy, he was full of Su Ling's place, and he wanted to retreat and go to visit Su Ling immediately, but he was stopped again.

"What's the matter with the Third Prince?" Jiang Duanchen asked expressionlessly.

Xiao Heng said with a smile: "I see that Prime Minister Jiang is absent-minded in the Yong'an Palace, has something happened?" Can I help? ”

Jiang Duanchen refused, "The third prince of Lao cares, and the ministers are fine." If there is nothing to do, Weichen will retire first. ”

Seeing Jiang Duanchen's unappreciative look, Xiao Heng put away his smile, and after seeing that there was no one around, he said bluntly: "Prime Minister Jiang, everyone is a smart person, I will say it bluntly if I have something to say, now the position of the DPRK and China is very obvious, I hope you can know the current affairs as a handsome." ”

Jiang Duanchen chuckled, "What if I don't?" ”

"You also know that my mother and I are now deeply favored, and if you are in a team with me, you will be indispensable in the future." Xiao Heng's eyes showed ambition.

"Oh? If I tell Your Majesty about all the bribes you have done, do you think you can still stand here and negotiate terms with me? Jiang Duanchen said impatiently.

He himself hates deceit and intrigue in officialdom. What's more, he is now focused on Su Ling. This Xiao Heng really has no eyesight.

Xiao Heng clenched his fists, the corners of his mouth were slightly angry, "Okay, Jiang Duanchen, I will give you a chance, you don't want it, don't regret it in the future." ”

Jiang Duanchen walked towards Fengming Hall without looking back.

Xiao Heng summoned one of his subordinates beside him, his eyes showed a fierce look, "Go and find out to me, what kind of fame is this Jiang Duanchen doing, why do you go to the queen every day." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Jiang Duanchen came to Fengming Palace, but was told by Nie Yunhua to send Su Ling to learn the etiquette of the palace, in order to facilitate her to marry his wife in the future, she came to the palace more often to get to know more dignitaries.

Nie Yunhua has always been a good person, saying that he would not let him see it, so he would stop him in every possible way.

"Chen'er, Jiang Shangshu's family has a daughter, who is eighteen years old and slim. She came to visit the mourning family today, but the mourning family is unwell, you can help the mourning family say hello. Nie Yunhua pretended to have a headache and said weakly.

Jiang Duanchen frowned, "Since Niangniang is unwell, let her visit another day, and I will go back to the house first." ”

"Master Jiang." A sweet voice came, and a woman in a blue exquisite brocade dress danced into the main hall. "The little girl Jiang Wenyuan has seen Master Jiang."

Jiang Duanchen said perfunctorily: "Hello Miss Jiang, Jiang has something to do, so I left first." ”

"Lord Jiang, the little girl has something to ask for advice from you, and please appreciate your face." Jiang Wenyuan's eyebrows showed a begging look.

Nie Yunhua said on the side: "Chen'er, since Miss Jiang has spoken, you can accompany her for a while." ”

Jiang Duanchen looked at Jiang Wenyuan who was acting in a coated manner, and was really disgusted, but he couldn't refute the queen's face, so he had to agree, "Miss Jiang wants to ask Jiang for advice, let's find a place to say, Niangniang is unwell, let's not bother her here." ”

Jiang Wenyuan had a happy expression on her face, she didn't expect Jiang Duanchen to agree to her so easily.

"Okay, that lady, the little girl will come to say hello when you are well." Jiang Wenyuan looked at Nie Yunhua.

Nie Yunhua nodded with satisfaction, Jiang Wenyuan was a "good match" carefully selected by her. Jiang Shangshu has a lot of prestige in the court, and now he is also subordinate to her, but his condition is that he can marry his daughter to Jiang Duanchen.

Jiang Duanchen is young, and he is both talented and beautiful. It is the marriage partner that all school-age women in this Shangque City yearn for.

Such a good chess piece, of course, must be used to the fullest, his marriage can only help him and even her, that Su Ling is really an eyesore.

Nie Yunhua was thinking in his heart, and when Jiang Duanchen and Jiang Wenyuan were cultivating for a period of time, he would ask the emperor for marriage. In this way, she can make Su Ling disappear without noticing. By then, the wood would be in the boat, and even if he hated her, it would be useless.

Jiang Duanchen took Jiang Wenyuan to the outside of Fengming Hall and found a secluded place.

Jiang Wenyuan asked curiously, "Lord Jiang, what are you bringing me here for?" ”

"Didn't Miss Jiang ask me for advice if she had a question? Go ahead. Jiang Duanchen's face was gloomy.

Jiang Wenyuan was frightened by his expression, "It's nothing, it's just that the little girl admires Jiang Gongzi very much......"

Jiang Duanchen suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Wenyuan's neck, "Admiration? If I were such a cruel man, would you still admire me? ”

Jiang Wenyuan was pinched and couldn't breathe, and slapped Jiang Duanchen's arm indiscriminately, "Jiang Duanchen! What are you doing! ”

Jiang Duanchen smiled evilly, "It's nothing, I just want to warn you, put away your thoughts that you shouldn't have, and don't try to press me through the queen." ”

Jiang Wenyuan's eyes were red, and her eyes were also full of bloodshots, she desperately wanted to break Jiang Duanchen's hand, but he pinched it tighter and tighter. Just when she was about to pass out, Jiang Duanchen suddenly let go.

Jiang Wenyuan suddenly sat down on the ground.

Jiang Duanchen clapped his hands and said fiercely: "Today's events, don't let me hear from the queen's mouth, otherwise, I will definitely shake out all the things that your father did behind his back, and it will not be a problem to sentence the nine clans when the time comes." Get lost! ”

Jiang Wenyuan's face turned pale with fright, she thought that the queen would find her, which would be the day she enjoyed happiness, but who would have expected to provoke such a ruthless person.
