Xiao Qingwu didn't want to leave, but when the emperor looked at him, Xiao Qingwu suddenly felt like a mouse seeing a cat, and a chill ran down the back of his neck.
Their biological mother, Concubine Duan, did not have a prominent background. It was just that when the emperor was on his southern tour, he saw that she was good-looking and could sing well, so he took her into the palace.
After entering the palace, she gave birth to Xiao Siyuan, and a few months later, she became pregnant with Xiao Qingwu.
The Queen Mother loved him very much.
In addition, Xiao Qingwu was very ambitious. Although she was spoiled and willful on weekdays, she had a sweet mouth, which made the emperor and the empress dowager dote on her very much.
I have never seen the emperor look so cold.
She was terrified, lowered her head and bowed, then quickly ran out of the hall.
【??? The Emperor won't pursue this anymore?】
【What a doting father he is. 】
emperor:"……"
He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, his voice a little tired: "Zhiyu, you and Wen Jing go back first, let Fuping come in."
Jiang Zhiyu couldn't wait to get up.
The emperor summoned her urgently, so he entrusted He Yanting to look after the printing factory over there for her, so she had to go back quickly.
"Oh, by the way, didn't my uncle say the Queen Mother wanted to see me? I've been back for a few days, why haven't we heard anything yet?"
emperor:"……"
I stopped it for you. You are so young, why would you grant me a marriage?
The palace maid knelt on the ground, anxiously waiting for her own end. Although her head was dizzy, she still held on.
Not long after Jiang Zhiyu went out, Fuping hurried in.
The black gauze and gold-decorated hat on his head was a little tilted, and it was obvious that he had come in a hurry and it was blown sideways by the wind.
He didn't bother to tidy up, and after bowing, he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor stood up and looked at the pot of peonies in the corner. Even in winter, the flowers bloomed exceptionally beautifully because of the careful care of the palace servants.
"There are so many branches and leaves, it's annoying to look at. Take them down and have them trimmed."
The pot of peony flowers was planted by Concubine Duan herself and sent over. Fuping understood what she meant and quickly called in a few eunuchs. When he passed by the palace maid, he gave her a look.
The maid quickly stood up and followed.
After leaving the imperial study, the palace maid's tense nerves finally relaxed and she followed Fuping tremblingly.
At this point, she definitely can't go back to Concubine Duan. Since the emperor didn't ask for her life, Eunuch Fuping will definitely find a place for her to go, right?
…
In the Hanlin Academy, the craftsmen in charge of printing were almost leaving afterimages with their hands.
He Yanting sat on Jiang Zhiyu's small chair, lazily supporting his chin with one hand, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
It seems that every time I see her, she can give me some surprises.
He was lost in thought, but the craftsmen working beside him did not share the same thoughts.
Who in Shengjing hadn't heard of He Yanting's reputation for brutality? He would drag you out and beat you to death with a stick if you disagreed with him, no matter who you were.
There is no news about him killing anyone with a stick now. It must be because Doctor Jiang cured his leg and his mood has improved.
The craftsmen thought so and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Work efficiency is improving rapidly.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyu stepped into the yard, he saw the books piled up like a mountain.
“!!!”
So fast?
"Thank you, Minister He," Jiang Zhiyu pulled a book from the hill nearby and handed it to him. "This book is very popular. Minister He, take a look at it too."
He Yanting took it.
He was always cold and indifferent. His dark eyes were deep and unfathomable when he looked at others, and he exuded an oppressive aura. But in front of Jiang Zhiyu, he was very easy to talk to, even gentle.
"Thank you very much."
He Yanting stroked the book with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to grant you a marriage, but the Emperor stopped it."
Jiang Zhiyu was slightly stunned.
[Arranged marriage? I'm only 12!]
[Is this person just too idle to do anything? ]
besides.
"To whom?"
"In fact, he is still your colleague. He is also working in the Hanlin Academy. He is the nephew of the Empress Dowager, An Hong."
Yasuhiro?
Jiang Zhiyu tried to recall the name, but couldn't remember it.
She was a little shocked.
She had a pretty good memory and wrote down all the important things that happened in the book.
If you don't remember this name, there is only one reason.
[This guy must be ordinary and has no sense of existence. ]
He Yanting: “…”
really.
Although An Hong was the nephew of the Empress Dowager and had a noble status, he was very timid by nature. He did not dare to speak or do anything, and had no opinions of his own.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't care about An Hong, but she remembered the arranged marriage.
I can't bear the hardship of getting married.
He Yanting: “…”
…
The Prime Minister's Residence, inside Cuiwei Pavilion.
"Madam, I've been there for several days in a row, but when the servants from the Xu Mansion heard that I was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, they wanted to drive me away. I had no choice but to stay at the clinic for a few more days, but Miss Jiang never went to the clinic..."
Du Yuelan's face grew darker as she listened to the report from her personal maid, Bai Zhi.
"If she hasn't gone, then just keep waiting!" Du Yuelan said in a heavier voice, "She will go one day."
Bai Zhi agreed. Du Yuelan took a sip from her teacup and said, "Don't put all your hopes on her. Now that you're out, ask around and see if there's any other doctor with better medical skills."
"Don't worry, Madam. The Anle Marquis's residence is still searching for famous doctors. I will go there every day to ask a few questions. Once I have found out everything, I will invite them to see Madam."
Du Yuelan nodded slightly, and then her eyes turned cold.
"Has the traitor been found?"
Bai Zhi shook her head: "The people in the courtyard are all brought by the Madam. They are all familiar faces and know each other well. I also asked some trustworthy people, and they all said it was normal."
normal?
Du Yuelan sneered, "I'm investigating. Keep an eye on them. If anyone seems to be doing something wrong, bring them to see me immediately!"
Bai Zhi nodded quickly.
She was so angry that she was half dead, and Song Shiwei on the other side was no less angry.
She didn't know what happened, but Jiang Zhaorong's attitude towards her plummeted. When she went to deliver some food, Jiang Zhaorong just let the servants take it and let her go back. He even blocked her from entering his study for the first time.
Even when Xu Youran was in the mansion, Jiang Zhaorong had never acted like this. Why is it that now that Xu Youran is gone and Tao Hong has taken her place, Jiang Zhaorong can no longer tolerate her?
She almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
She has no father or mother, and although she has accumulated a lot of connections over the years, her greatest reliance is still Jiang Zhaorong's favor. What's more, because of the previous incident in the Dali Temple, the reputation she has worked hard to build has also been tarnished, and the several noble ladies she was on good terms with have not been in contact for a long time.
And Xiao Yanli...
The letters I sent to him seemed to have sunk into the sea without even making a splash!
