Dou Yueying glanced at her expression and asked in surprise: "Why?"
Jiang Qingyao whispered, "The power dynamics within the court are complex. Why did the Prince of Changning suddenly show favor to you? Is it simply because he likes you, or is he after you, the eldest daughter of the Minister of State?"
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart, especially when he is of high status. You must carefully consider his true feelings."
"Marriage is a big deal. It's better to spend more time getting to know each other before marriage than to spend a lifetime struggling afterward."
Dou Yueying naturally believed what Jiang Qingyao said.
After she mentioned this, Dou Yueying felt that the Prince of Changning Marquis's Mansion did have some ulterior motives and was probably trying to get close to her on purpose to please her.
She almost fell into his trap!
It was rare for someone to pursue her passionately, but he had ulterior motives and ill intentions, so Dou Yueying couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
Dou Yueying responded sullenly, "Well, I've remembered everything you said. I'll think about it carefully."
Jiang Qingyao rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, let's open our eyes. I think Yao Dai is not bad. Let's see how he performs next."
"If his performance is acceptable, give him a chance. If it's just barely acceptable, then change him and choose someone more satisfactory."
Although Yao Dai is a fool, if the prince of Changning Marquisate is pursuing Dou Yueying relentlessly, how can you believe that he will not take action?
I'm afraid he's so anxious that he's dying.
After playing for a day, Jiang Qingyao began to think carefully after they parted ways.
Aying naturally could not choose the prince of Changning Marquisate.
In his previous life, the prince of Changning Marquisate was involved in a rebellion!
When the rebellion was exposed, everyone knew that Marquis Changning had already secretly allied with King Qin to plot a rebellion.
It is now impossible to tell that Marquis Changning is a loyalist, and the ministers in the court still think that Marquis Changning has always remained neutral.
In his previous life, the prince of Changning Marquisate had never pursued Aying.
It seems that the more powerful the Marquis of Anguo becomes, the more stable the position of the crown prince becomes. King Qin can no longer sit still and has already made plans to win over other forces.
If Aying really married the prince of Changning Marquis's mansion, the Minister of Rites would be related to Changning Marquis by marriage and would be forced to be involved in the struggle for imperial power.
Even if the Minister of Rites was ruthless enough to abandon his eldest daughter and stick to his original intention and never plotted rebellion, Aying was completely ruined.
Don’t even think about touching the people around her. Jiang Qingyao will not allow such a thing to happen.
She wanted to make the plans of King Qin and Marquis Changning fail.
Over there.
When Concubine Li heard the sad news that her nephew was beaten to death, she became depressed and fell ill immediately.
That was her elder sister's only son!
It was Yongjia's willfulness that harmed him. At this point, she and her sister were probably completely estranged.
Your Majesty has warned them that if they disobey, they will have to pay the price.
In a trance, Concubine Li was still wondering whether His Majesty knew what she had done?
In order to cover up for her nephew, she eliminated all those who knew about the exchange of tokens at the military post, including their families, leaving no one alive.
"No, Your Majesty will not know..."
Due to excessive worry, Concubine Li felt hot all over and even had a fever.
At this time, inside the Ziji Palace.
Emperor Jinde threw another investigation on Concubine Li on the desk into the stove, his eyes reflected in the jumping flames as he watched the thing burn out.
After a while, Emperor Jinde said quietly, "The palace is too quiet and boring. It's time to bring in some new people."
Eunuch Cao beside him bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Your Majesty hasn't selected concubines for a long time. It's time to pick some beautiful young women to enter the palace to make it more lively.
…
At nightfall.
After bathing, Jiang Qingyao put on a green inner garment, leaned on the edge of the bed, closed her eyes, and let Ning wring her hair dry with a towel.
After a while, she suddenly became suspicious. Why did Ning become so quiet? Not saying a word?
"? Ning?"
Jiang Qingyao pried open her eyelids, tilted her head back and looked, only to see a cold and seductive face.
Well, what else could it be? Ning, such a big man like Marquis Anguo suddenly appeared behind her, anyone else would be scared.
He Zheng was still wearing the crimson Qilin robe. It seemed that he had not had time to wash up, but he quietly took over Ning's job.
The big, broad hands held the towel and stroked her hair.
Jiang Qingyao turned around and said, "You're back."
He Zheng looked at her slightly confused eyes and thought she was a little cute, and said, "Yeah."
Jiang Qingyao knew that he was very busy and might be tired after a whole day, so she took the towel from his hand.
"I can do it myself, go wash up."
"It's a little wet here." He Zheng raised his fingertips and stroked her cheek.
The thin calluses on the fingertips cause itching.
Jiang Qingyao narrowed her eyes and asked, "Anything else?"
He Zheng: "Okay."
Jiang Qingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, my Lord."
The flickering candlelight cast a soft glow on her delicate face, and her lips were plump and rosy, tempting to pick them.
With a "pop".
The window was blown aside by the wind, and moonlight poured in.
He Zheng suddenly leaned over, held her cheek and kissed her.
A faint cool breath came over.
Jiang Qingyao opened her eyes wide in a daze.
She swore she really didn't tease him!
Unlike the previous kiss, He Zheng was gentle this time. He quickly let go of Jiang Qingyao, then stood up and went out to take a shower and change clothes.
Jiang Qingyao's cheeks felt a little hot. She lay on the pillow for a while before lazily getting up to wipe her hair.
When He Zheng came back, he saw Jiang Qingyao lying on the innermost side.
In fact, Jiang Qingyao was not asleep either. She just felt that the candlelight was extinguished, and the surroundings fell into darkness, with only a faint moonlight.
He Zheng lay down next to her.
