During court sessions, Zhao Jing received many suggestive glances.

Some people are inherently worthless, only concerned with their own flesh and blood. When they heard that Zhao Jing was willing to sleep with a promiscuous woman for the emperor's sake, they naturally looked at him with mocking eyes.

Unfortunately, Zhao Jing paid no attention, standing there with his eyes downcast and his mind at ease, leaving no room for anyone to find fault with him.

In fact, Zhao Jing is a thorn in the side of many people.

To them, he was a man who deserved to die because he held the military seal.

The emperor was willing to entrust him with all his troops; they had never encountered such trust before.

Because they were both jealous and resentful of him, they knew more about what was going on in Zhao Jing's backyard than anyone else.

Unfortunately, Zhao Jing was such a spoilsport. If he couldn't gossip in front of him, he could pretend that those people's gazes didn't exist.

hateful!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jing had been resting in Jiang Tian's courtyard for several days.

He realized that there wasn't much difference between Jiang Tian's courtyard and his own front yard.

When he went to the other beauties, they chattered and insisted on flattering him, even serving him during meals, which annoyed Zhao Jing to no end.

For him, after experiencing countless disputes in the court during the day, when he returned to his residence and had nothing important to plan, he just wanted to relax and get a good night's sleep.

These women, however, had no idea what he was thinking and were vying for his favor with all their might.

Once you're in Jiang Tian's courtyard, you won't have this problem anymore.

She practically ignored him. When he entered the courtyard, the two of them would each sit at opposite ends of the table, only sitting together during meals.

Jiang Tian didn't bother him, and he didn't want to talk to her either, so it was much quieter around him.

Moreover, Jiang Tian was a woman of leisure and refined tastes. Her courtyard was decorated elegantly, with many flowers and plants, giving people a sense of antiquity and springtime charm.

Zhao Jing was reading military books in her courtyard, and surprisingly, he felt quite content.

Zhao Jing arrived a little early that day and happened to run into two maids talking.

"Madam's birthday is coming soon, shall we prepare a gift?"

"Of course, Madam is so good to us, I will definitely make a preparation. I plan to embroider a handkerchief for Madam."

"Then I'll make her a pair of shoes."

Soon the two maids went to do other things.

Zhao Jing did some quick calculations and realized that Jiang Tian's 27th birthday was just a few days away.

For him, knowing or not knowing makes no difference whatsoever.

Thinking of those spies, Zhao Jing still went to find Jiang Tian: "I will come on your birthday."

Jiang Tian lazily raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."

"If I don't come, the emperor will become suspicious."

"Okay, I'll compromise for you. You can stay here for half an hour and then leave. Just say you have something urgent to do."

Zhao Jing: "Should I thank you for being so considerate of me?"

"No need for words of gratitude, but if you could give me some silver or jewelry, I would gladly accept it."

Zhao Jing sneered, lifted the curtain, and went out.

The closer their relationship became, the more the woman enjoyed mocking him.

He must be crazy to come here and get angry!

But to his surprise, Pei Ziye and Jiang Yuqin stopped him the day before Jiang Tian's birthday.

"Brother, I want to go to celebrate Jiang Tian's birthday. Could you make an exception for me?"

Pei Ziye's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Jiang Yuqin was not good with words, but the burning passion in his eyes was impossible to ignore.

Zhao Jing's brows furrowed immediately: "I've already told you, she doesn't want to remarry."

Jiang Tian said she wanted to tell them, but how could Zhao Jing possibly allow it? He had already found an opportunity to convey her message.

Pei Ziye scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Of course I know, but more than that, I still want to celebrate her birthday..."

Jiang Yuqin nodded in agreement.

The two were considered outstanding individuals wherever they went, and many young and beautiful young ladies were interested in choosing them as their husbands.

But the two of them just happened to fall for a woman who was several years older than them, and couldn't let go of her.

The coldness in Zhao Jing's eyes deepened.

He scrutinized the expressions on their faces for a moment before slowly speaking, "No. There are too many spies watching the General's Mansion. How can you be sure that your visit to her won't be exposed? It won't just implicate one person."

"Brother, rest assured, we will be extremely careful and will not let anyone find fault with us!"

Zhao Jing seemed not to hear Pei Ziye's words and turned to leave.

The next day, as soon as Zhao Jing entered the courtyard, he saw several young maids laughing.

But upon seeing him, they immediately shut their mouths, not even daring to laugh.

Zhao Jing entered the inner room expressionlessly and saw that Jiang Tian was dressed exceptionally beautifully today.

The moment Zhao Jing first saw her, he knew she was a beauty with an elegant demeanor.

But she had been married, so Zhao Jing would absolutely not have any contact with her.

She dressed up quite nicely today, and her bright red brocade horse-face skirt was dazzling.

She had exquisite features, snow-white skin, and a bright smile on her beautiful face.

The moment Jiang Tian saw him, her smile vanished.

"You've come a bit too early, so you should leave soon."

Zhao Jing's gaze was deep, and in the end he remained silent, quietly finishing his dinner.

However, while he was eating, he noticed that several maids kept giving Jiang Tian meaningful glances.

Jiang Tian gave them a look, signaling them to leave first.
