Chapter 105: Give it to me? (I still rushed it out. I will update it today, but not on the 29th. ...

————————

Jiang Hui's arrival was like putting a fish into a hot oil pan, but it was not a live fish, because there was not much vitality in his body. But if he was called a salted fish, everyone would feel that the look of a salted fish when looking at people would not be so aggressive.

The salted fish is about to eat the beautiful girl.

But is it just an illusion?

Many people stood up and saluted.

Jiang Hui has been crowned a prince, and there are also differences among the princes. They are not ranked according to age, but according to the rank of prince. No matter in terms of military merit or etiquette, Prince Yan is always the first. In the past, Prince Qi ranked second thanks to his accumulated political achievements and the intentional or unintentional support of the emperor and officials behind him. Once he fell, Prince Lie and Prince Ling fell as well before they could even make a move. Although King Ying suddenly appeared and was crowned the Grand Prince, he was only on par with the former Prince Qi.

Only Jiang Hui had accumulated a lot of military merits in the past, but because he was a child of the royal family, he could not be given any title. This time his contribution was really too great, which had far-reaching significance both inside and outside the court. He was supported by the people, and the emperor was really happy - he issued an edict, and his royal rank was close to that of King Yan, higher than that of King Ying.

Normally, Jiang Hui also deliberately kept a low profile and never showed off such power. Yan Siqing sometimes forgot that he was already a prince.

So, now that Jiang Hui has arrived, if it weren't for the pressure of filial piety from the King of England and his uncles, everyone would not have to stand up and salute.

However, they were so busy that they had no time to salute.

"No need to be polite."

The young and promising prince leaned his sword against the curtain, lowered his bony wrist, and glanced at him indifferently.

Everyone thought that the salted fish's cannibalistic look just now was an illusion.

It's clearly the indifference people have towards salted fish.

In this man's eyes, they were the same as always, just as he had been impatient and indifferent towards people since he was a child.

This little ancestor of the Jiang Dynasty, who had never had a good temper since childhood, was still the one who got insulted, but he was considerate for once and didn't let them salute.

But he only took a quick look and immediately returned to where his gaze had just been.

Walk down the stairs.

Yan Siqing should have stood up and bowed—she always wanted to be respectful in front of others, not wanting to give people any reason to accuse her of violating etiquette and treating her husband badly after getting married...

It doesn't matter in private, she is still decent and considerate in front of others.

But before she got up, people excused her.

She didn't move, but looked at the man walking towards her. Because he was now on a diplomatic mission, he was receiving envoys on behalf of the emperor, so he wore a prince's robe. However, he did not choose the formal robe and crown used for sacrifices or grand courts. Instead, he chose a lighter casual dress, with jade beads and dragon emblems custom-made for him.

However, this person has been favored since childhood and is treated with great respect. All the expenses of the Ministry of Rites for him reflect the emperor's intentions.

It is said that the emperor even asked him what kind of clothes would suit him when he was a child, and later everyone knew that this little ancestor looked best in dark-colored robes.

In the words of the emperor, "The red unicorn of my family is precious, and its weight is unmatched by any other color. It can be solemnized to the fullest extent, and it will show the jade seal of the Jiang family."

Before he reached the top of the world, everyone in the world knew that he was a nobleman, and Xie and Jiang were of different generations.

Don’t the Jiang family know?

I know.

As a human being, you know what sex is in the world.

Emperors also like those with outstanding looks.

Emperors also have eyes.

The emperor knew it, the emperor praised it, and the emperor also had aesthetic taste.

Red, white, purple, black, blue, the most clothes made by the Ministry of Rites for the royal family are all on this person.

Yan Siqing was not blind either. She saw it. Her eyes swept over the crown of the prince, the red robe of the important minister, and the white jade waist belt with dragon pattern of the king.

Long legs, slim waist and carrying a sword.

Walking over.

He had a cold, mean and arrogant aura. The daylight outside the door cast a long shadow on him, which slanted over her as she was still sitting.

Liaochen on the opposite side and Chen Cangyu who was sitting behind him in the ranking were both stunned.

This slim and graceful young woman, who was remembered by many as a beautiful woman, seemed to pause and gaze intently at her only husband according to legal rules, with a somewhat subtle expression. She then looked away and touched the full glass of wine that had never been touched with her fingers.

She was tall, with slender fingers, as beautiful as a work of art. She held the precious purple pottery wine glass to her lips.

A cunning and clever person like Liaochen.

Like Chen Cangyu, she has been sleeping beside him for many years.

Or someone who has been with her and can understand her personality and habits.

Everyone thought of it: She seemed to be avoiding Jiang Hui.

What’s going on? They’re newly married, are they having a conflict?

Otherwise, why did Yan Siqing act so cold, as if avoiding this person, using the excuse of drinking to avoid Jiang Hui's approach?

but.

Lechen narrowed his eyes, as if expecting something.

Chen Cangyu frowned.

Jian Wuliang and others were thoughtful and worried, but what happened?

It won’t take long.

He came up to her, bent down and stretched out his hand, his long arms like a cage, directly grabbing her wrist.

The wine glass swayed slightly, and some of the clear wine escaped, spreading over the purple pottery cup and flowing onto the white fingers.

A famous wine from outside the Great Wall, light red in color and rich in aroma.

Yan Siqing concealed the shock and gloom in her eyes, looked up, and saw that the man was holding her wrist and taking the wine glass.

He drank it.

Yan Siqing glanced at the man's fingers that were pinching her wrist, and then she moved her eyes away and bent her fingers.

"Your Highness, don't you allow me to drink?"

She asked softly, in a very good-tempered manner.

But also very polite.

It wasn't as intimate as an ordinary couple, nor was it the shy surrender of a woman to her husband.

She is calm.

So calm that it makes people feel that she will never belong to anyone.

In front of Huai Xuan and other nearby guests, Jiang Hui put down his wine glass and placed it on the table in front of her.

Bow your head and lower your eyes.

"No, I just found a chance to get drunk."

"That way I can sit next to you and let you watch me so I don't get drunk and lose control."

"If I lose my composure, you will be the one who is embarrassed."

"lady."

lady.

This time, it was finally his turn to shout out this name.

This lady is not that lady.

He schemed hard, dreamed repeatedly, and finally got what he wanted, showing his frivolity in front of others...

It also tells everyone why he lost his composure and she is the one who is embarrassed.

Because they are husband and wife.

Husband and wife are one.

Isn't she Zhou Quanren presentable?

He is her first priority.

How could he...

The more dignified one is, the less one can tolerate this kind of heresy.

As soon as these words were spoken, before Xie Juanshu stood up to offer his seat with a complicated look in his eyes, Huai Xuan wanted to get up first, saying, "Little Chilin, you're newly married now, I won't bother with you. Stop bothering Siqing and don't get drunk and bother her."

If nothing else, this princess is always able to help others out of trouble.

However, Jiang Hui did not let her make room.

He simply added a chair and moved it next to her.

Yan Siqing did not refuse. He was calm, but also silent, his mind wandering. In fact, he was once again shocked by this man's "heretical thoughts". He suppressed the numbness in his heart and did not look him in the eye.

He stopped pretending.

In the past, in front of people, on the escort road, at the post station, and at the White Horse Temple, all kinds of clever excuses were used to cover up the look.

Now I don’t pretend at all.

She used to find that kind of subtle, covetous gaze unbearable, and now she finds this gaze...

He moved his fingers, wanting to wipe the wine off them, and Yu Xiaoyun handed him the handkerchief he carried with him.

Very casual and natural.

She looked at him, and before he could help wipe it, she lowered her eyes and took it, wiping her fingers gently while asking, "Have you finished your errand? Why are you here?"

She didn't respond to what she had just said, but just asked about the business in a light-hearted manner.

Jiang Hui was not surprised by this man's ability to remain calm and composed.

He wasn't showing off to her.

"The two countries' delegations are coming. We can't just let Uncle King Ying and his men entertain them. They have official titles and we can't neglect our duties."

"It's all about eating, and the food at a wedding banquet is naturally delicious."

Not necessarily.

Your meal was not very tasty and was hard to swallow.

Jian Wuliang and others had complicated expressions.

Lechen's gaze swept across Yan Siqing's wiping fingers, and paused at the boundary of their bodies that were almost touching each other.

Overlapping hems.

He remembered that Yan Siqing was a person who never cared about trivial matters when it came to serious matters, and did not mind contact with other men or women. However, everyone who came into contact with her could deeply feel her aloofness and calmness - she knew every inch of closeness, whether intentional or unintentional, and there was a distance as far as the sky and the earth in her eyes, making you clearly know that you had violated etiquette. She did not say anything, but asked you to give in and gave you dignity.

The only way to be so legally intimate with her is through blood ties or marriage.

Only couples.

She won't reject it.

There are countless couples in the world, so this is nothing, but the two people opposite are Jiang Hui and Yan Siqing.

How can they be husband and wife?

It turns out to be so annoying.

Lechen smiled, held the cup and drank, and thought to himself: It’s not that bad, it can be seen that Yan Siqing is not that close to Jiang Hui. At least in small details, she seems to be a little repulsed by Jiang Hui.

That's right, it was impossible for her not to suspect that Prince Yan's lineage was the real culprit who wiped out her entire family.

With her proud mind, how could she possibly submit to the so-called husband-wife relationship, let alone truly fall in love with Jiang Hui?

Just like how he compromised himself before, he also compromised with Jiang Hui's forced marriage.

Lechen drank the wine.

Chen Cangyu looked over the shoulder of Lechen in front of him and saw all the physical details of Yan Siqing and Jiang Hui.

He understood her little habits better than anyone else.

She was indeed avoiding Jiang Hui.

But he had also seen this kind of avoidance.

When she was newly married...she was not very enthusiastic about matters between men and women, often avoiding them on the grounds of being busy, or showing indifference towards them.

He guessed at that time: She probably didn't like me that much, or she just got married in a hurry due to worldly demands.

But she has always been like this to others, appearing dignified and kind on the surface, but actually cold and aloof.

Later, he felt that this was her nature. She would not feel emotional unless they were her parents or her daughter, and no one was an exception.

People with high intelligence are often cold-hearted and difficult to be moved by emotions. If they are determined, they will be even less likely to be moved by desires.

Acala is like this.

This has been the case since ancient times.

It seems that Jiang Hui is no exception.

Chen Cangyu felt a little more at ease and was able to swallow the strong liquor in his throat.

but.

The delegation came in.

The Beiyue Kingdom is unimportant, a defeated country, unimportant, full of bad luck, no one cares about them.

Everyone's attention was still attracted by the envoys from the Arab Empire.

The envoy is secondary; the young nobleman accompanying the envoy is more important.

Hai Fugui, sounds like a very vulgar name, but he actually looks so beautiful and flawless.

The most important thing is...he is a cool, gentle person, with a bit of the melancholy of a scholar who is sad about the moon.

In this day and age, are all so-called businessmen born with such a fascinating appearance?

Everyone looked at him, and then noticed that when this man walked in, although his eyes were not direct, he looked at a certain married princess several times in a subtle way, with restraint and forbearance.

Yes, the prince is here, it’s okay.

But true love also comes.

It was also the only true love she had ever acknowledged, privately pledged her life to, and even confessed to the monarch.

Will there be any trouble?

At this moment, many people put down their wine glasses and stared sideways.

Sure enough, I couldn’t eat.

Liao Qing silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

No, today's meal...will the table flip over?

Do you still want to eat?

result.

No.

President Hai was very graceful, not making a scene, not overstepping his bounds, and maintaining a graceful demeanor. He was kind and polite to everyone, and he didn't mind the unexpected incident today. Instead, he apologized for his sudden intrusion...

The scene was rather amicable.

Lechen was surprised. He stared at Hai Fugui, then looked at the calm Yan Siqing.

If it is true love, how can you be so restrained?

No hatred or resentment?

Could it be...

Yan Siqing didn't look at the other person. After wiping his fingers, he was about to fold the dirty handkerchief and give it to the servant to wash.

But... one corner of the handkerchief was pressed down, and someone pulled it back little by little.

Yan Siqing: “?”

She looked at him, somewhat confused.

"mine."

Yan Siqing laughed and said casually: "Well, it's yours."

Small-minded.

She had no intention of arguing with him about this, but she didn't notice that her smile contained a hint of indulgence and helplessness.

Jiang Hui snatched back his handkerchief in a stingy manner, but then covered her hand.

Intertwined fingers.

"I'm not talking about the handkerchief."

“.....”

Yan Siqing paused for a moment and looked away, but her crossed fingers flexed underneath.

The little finger is hooked.

The man rubbed it back and forth.

Yan Siqing drank some water and pursed her moist lips.

Hai Fugui, who had just sat down, looked up.

Huai Xuan was just watching the fun and eating a melon when suddenly something got stuck in his throat. He felt not only sour but also choked.

no?

ah? !

Are you young people annoying? !

——————

"President Hai is so graceful. I thought today would be a bloody day. After all, losing a loved one is not something any man can bear."

The envoy from the Beiyu Kingdom finally opened his mouth.

The good atmosphere froze as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Hui raised his eyes, about to "serve" the other party, but Hai Fugui, who was sitting opposite him, said gently, "Your Highness the Princess and I met because of business. We have been dealing with each other for the benefit of the people. We each guard our own country, and we are sincere and trustworthy, without betrayal. This is a fate in the human world, but fate dictates that not all fates can last forever. This is God's will."

"It is God's will and cannot be reversed by human hands."

He did not evade the issue, and was even more frank than the malicious intentions of the North Vietnamese State.

It is not good to avoid talking about this kind of thing.

They're already married, and it's not good for her to still be concerned about this matter.

Yan Siqing looked at him this time.

Eye contact.

After a moment of silence, she said, "We in business never want to go against God's will."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and were frank with each other, as if they wanted to put the past behind them.

Because they are like this, others are embarrassed to mention it.

It wasn't the first day Jiang Hui knew about Hai Fugui. Actually, he had known him for a long time, but he had just gotten involved...

For some reason, he felt a little guilty and took the initiative to pour wine for Yan Siqing.

Yan Siqing glanced at him, but saw that this man was guilty of her, but attacked others with a strong blow, for example, after pouring the wine, he looked at the envoy of Beiyu Kingdom.

"My wife is right."

"Just like you Beiyue people like to defy fate, but in the end, there is no good result."

The people of Beiyue were so annoyed that their faces turned red.

Just as he was about to get angry, he heard a click and Jiang Hui placed the priceless dagger inlaid with many beautiful jades on the table.

Is it a warning?

Everyone fell silent.

A high-ranking official blinked, believing this to be an authoritative warning from His Royal Highness, and then said, "Your Highness, if I am not mistaken, this must be spoils of war taken from the camp of some defeated enemy."

"It was just given to Wuhu Heyun by the Dian Cang tribe. I saw that it was covered in jade and could be used for self-defense and killing, so I asked His Majesty for it."

The people of Beiyue were furious. "We are here to negotiate. Is His Royal Highness mocking us? How can we continue this negotiation?"

Jiang Hui was surprised and looked disgusted. "You're overthinking. Your Highness doesn't have the time for that."

Then.

He pushed with his finger.

Push the dagger in front of Yan Siqing.

Yan Siqing didn't think that this was any kind of grudge or hatred between men and women. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of diplomatic exchanges between the three countries. It was a serious matter with negotiating interests behind it. There was no need for her to get involved.

result.

She was stunned for a moment, looked at the sword, and then looked at Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui touched his nose and poked the various jades that were almost inlaid on it with his fingers again.

Ruby, blue eyes, purple jade, amber, yellow jade...all kinds of gems are available.

It is both luxurious and exaggerated, and is indeed a rare treasure in the world.

No words, but the meaning is there.

Hai Fugui was stunned for a moment and lowered his head to drink water.

Yan Siqing: “….”

If he hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten it.

The gift of beautiful jade as a token of love....The jade pendant incident....

It started from the post station, and later she publicly said that Hai Fugui bought it and gave it to her.

Many people remember it, including Jiang Hui.

Only she herself had almost forgotten about it, but now she remembered it.

The main reason is that there are too many gems on the sword, so it's a bit shiny.

She felt both amused and annoyed, but this time she couldn't be cold and evasive, after all, the other party was sincere.

She...was also feeling turbulent.

His fingers rested on the scabbard, slowly stroking the gemstone on it.

"Then, thank you, Your Highness, for the addition."

Jiang Hui: "It's not a gift."

Yan Siqing: “Hmm?”

Do I have to ask her to buy it?

Jiang Hui snorted, "It was originally yours."

"All that's mine is yours."

"Excuse me, ma'am."

He seemed to be a little bit grumpy, but also very proud, as if he had prepared love words for a long time, ready in front of his sweetheart, and took the opportunity to speak out.

Trying every possible means to please her.

Yan Siqing couldn't help laughing this time.

With this smile, thousands of pear trees bloom, and the colorful spring comes.

She is not a flower, not any color, she is spring itself.

It was so exciting that Dong Ye waited for three or four months to see her.

It turns out that she can also laugh when being pleased by a man.

Her smile was so gentle and charming.

Click.

Jian Wuliang stared blankly for a while, then silently looked at the side dishes on the table, and glanced at the chopsticks that General Qi next door suddenly "accidentally" broke.

Oh, I really can’t eat this meal.

Jiang Hui, the prince, you are so lucky.

What a good life.

——————

The Liao family’s marriage was ruined. Where did the wedding banquet come from? It was Yan Siqing who ruined it himself.

She was also repaying the Liao family for their previous efforts in helping them in private, and she didn't want to owe them a favor. Now that the matter was accomplished, even if she was pleased with the ambition and ability of the girl from the Liao family, she would not have any further contact with her.

Therefore, after the Liao family made some polite remarks and apologized properly, all parties expressed their understanding, especially the representatives of the royal family, who all sided with the Liao family. Naturally, there would be no other changes in the cancellation of this marriage.

Even Lechen wouldn't jump out to be disliked for such a scumbag master and disciple.

But the delegation came to attend the wedding and encountered this incident, which was more or less awkward. The Liao family suggested that they continue with the banquet and treat it as a banquet to entertain them.

This is an errand from the imperial court, and the Liao family is the host to show respect.

Not everyone needs to be accompanied.

Especially Yan Siqing, she just sat there for a while, watching the people in the court get into the serious business of the Three Kingdoms' diplomacy, engaging in intrigues and chatting and laughing.

Afterwards, Huai Xuan and the old lady invited him to watch a play in the backyard.

The stage is restarted and the excitement shifts.

The grandmother of the Liao family was very grateful to Yan Siqing for her help, but she also knew that she had not eaten much before. After all, due to several unexpected events, no one had time to eat or drink.

Some steaming hot fresh cakes were brought to the small counter, mostly with flavors from the southern coastal areas.

Huaixuan and Xie Juanshu noticed that Yan Siqing really liked this.

"This mung bean cake is really special. It's added with honey and poria cocos. The flavor is really well adjusted."

"Hmm? Was it everyone in Fuling who suggested we buy it?"

“That’s thoughtful.”

"Actually, speaking of cakes, there used to be a really good one in Yong'anfang. If it hadn't happened a few years ago, I could have taken you there to try it. Their most famous dish is this mung bean cake, which also contains poria cocos."

Huaixuan loved to enjoy himself, so he mentioned it casually. Xie Juanshu also knew this family and agreed. Huimin and her granddaughter, who were younger than him, were curious and asked what was going on.

What else could it be?

Someone is dead.

Yan Siqing: "Disappeared on the road? Killed by wild animals..."

It was obvious at first glance that she was interested in this murder case.

It's an old habit. Lord Yan is interested in whatever he is good at.

Xie Juanshu's expression softened. "It seems like it happened many years ago. We were all still young back then, and we only knew it wasn't a murder."

Huai Xuan was young at the time and knew a little, but she was a daughter of a royal family after all, and her position was too high, so she only heard about it and didn't ask about it. However, the grandmother of the Liao family knew more about these things. "It's really not a murder case. It happened ten years ago. The Xu family cake shop in Yong'anfang was famous and had many branches, such as Guanzhong City and other acropolis. The Xu family's shopkeeper was responsible and worried that other shops would not make cakes according to the rules and treat customers poorly, so he regularly inspected the shops. This was praised by many people. But that time, it happened that the wind was blowing, and he and two servants did not return on time. The Xu family thought something was wrong and reported it to the police. After investigation, they found that he had left the branch and should have rushed back to Chang'an. The government officials followed the route and finally found the shopkeeper's body in the Pipa Forest in the southern suburbs."

"But the two servants are gone."

"All the property was taken away... At that time, it was certain that the servants had killed and robbed Manager Xu. They dumped his body in the woods. It was so tragic. Wild animals had eaten it all, leaving only bones..."

This kind of case with a beginning and an end is not considered an unsolved case, nor is it a major murder case, so it was not filed at the Dali Temple. The Xu family had no objection to its handling, but because the head of the family in charge was gone, his descendants were incompetent and did business in a disorderly manner, and the store soon went bankrupt.

Disappeared into thin air.

But the delicious taste of that time has always been remembered by these noble people who love to eat and understand food.

It’s a bit sad to mention it.

This was something that was brought up unexpectedly, and it wasn't a murder case that affected the overall situation, so no one paid much attention to it. Yan Siqing didn't take it to heart either, she just looked at the pastries and then at the stage.

This scene is an assassin scene.

The actors were skilled in martial arts and their acting was very convincing. The tunes were sonorous and urgent, captivating the audience, who were afraid that the Qingyi Huadan would be killed.

Everyone was watching with great interest.

Suddenly a scream was heard.
