Chapter 125
My heart suddenly hung in the air.
The green axis just fell.
The atmosphere was just not right.
It felt cold all around, as if millions of arrows were whizzing towards him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Zhiyu was at a loss, and looked up at Shen Liuguang again.
Shen Liuguang quickly looked away and looked at the bird flying by in the sky.
It's really frustrating.
How should he explain to Young Master Jiang? How should he make Young Master Jiang understand that my sister can also become the Crown Princess?
Jiang Zhiyu frowned. Why did the Crown Prince's expression become increasingly ugly?
My heart suddenly hung in the air.
"Your Highness, is it difficult to grant a marriage? Although my sister is divorced, she is innocent, and it is not excessive for the Song family to divorce her. This is not my sister's fault. She is really a very good girl. Your Highness will know it after knowing her for a long time."
Your Highness will know now!
Shen Liuguang gritted his teeth in his heart and said, what's wrong with this Young Master Jiang, can't he see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Miss Jiang?
"Master Jiang."
Unable to hold back, Shen Liuguang was about to remind him, but Jiang Zhiyu looked up at Shen Liuguang with anticipation.
"In fact, there are more suitable candidates, anyone from Wangsungui's family is fine."
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded.
"That's natural. My sister is the best sister in the world. Anyone can be worthy of her, but...but I still think Zhiyan is enough."
Back then, Wei Jiuzhao and Xu Zhiyan both treated his sister like a treasure. Later, he thought that Wei Jiuzhao also liked his sister, so he was afraid that by bringing one together, he would hurt the other.
I found out later.
Wei Jiuzhao simply felt guilty, so he kept making amends.
"elder brother."
At the door.
Seeing her brother kneeling, Jiang Zhaoying hurried into the room and bowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, did my brother do anything wrong?"
"Get up."
The prince looked at Jiang Zhiyu coldly. Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly stood up and stepped aside while rubbing his knees. Jiang Zhaoying saw that he must have been kneeling for a long time, so she frowned and looked at the prince.
"Your Highness, if my brother offends you, I will punish him later."
Oh.
The prince wanted to laugh when he heard this. Will he continue to be punished? Do you think he can't hear the reproach in these words? The look in her eyes clearly showed that she wanted to punish him, the prince.
"Xu Zhiyan and I will go back to the Prince's Mansion together."
"yes."
Xu Zhiyan showed a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and stood up to leave with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Jiang Zhiyu received Shen Liuguang's gaze and hurriedly followed. When he was halfway there, Shen Liuguang pushed Jiang Zhiyu and leaned over to whisper in his ear.
"Master Jiang, what do you think of my prince?"
"I dare not say that. Who dares to comment on the fact that he is second only to one person and above ten thousand people?"
Shen Liuguang raised his hand and stroked his aching head, and said with a smile.
"But you have to know that His Highness has not yet appointed a Crown Princess."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded.
"Yes, it stands to reason that the Crown Princess should have been appointed long ago. Why doesn't the Queen pay any attention to it?"
That was naturally intentional. What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose someone with a strong backing? Wouldn't that be a greater threat to King Yueming? Although King Yueming hasn't married yet, everyone knows who the fourth lady of Prime Minister Liu's mansion is.
Once the marriage of Prince Yueming is mentioned, the court officials will certainly inquire about the marriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they will certainly demand that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get married first.
Some old ministers in the court were extremely anxious, and the first thing they had to report to court every day was choosing a concubine for the prince.
"They are all stepmothers, Master Jiang should understand."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the wise and majestic back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and nodded helplessly.
"Yeah, they are all not easy people."
"So your Highness needs a princess consort who understands your feelings and is not just a follower of rules. If Young Master Jiang has a suitable candidate, he can also help to suggest one."
"I can't help you with that. I don't know anyone."
Although his friends were rumored to be playboys, he actually felt that they were all open-minded and ambitious, but for various reasons, they did not want to appear too capable.
Shen Liuguang looked at Jiang Zhiyu helplessly, and for a moment he had a headache. Why couldn't this Young Master Jiang use that thought? Wasn't Miss Jiang a good candidate?
Even after seeing off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Zhiyan, Jiang Zhiyu still had a look of regret on his face.
Turn your head.
Talk to Jiang Zhaoying.
"The court seems to be urging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find a concubine. It looks like the princes are all going to get engaged."
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gotten engaged, all the other princes will follow suit, and the candidate for the main wife will appear within three months.
Jiang Zhiyu gently stroked his handsome face, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I don't know which family the Crown Princess will be from. There are so many powerful people in Daye that it will take a while to choose one."
Jiang Zhaoying's heart tightened slightly when she heard her brother's words. When she raised her eyes to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she happened to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking back.
The moment their eyes met, for some reason, a hint of pain flashed through their minds.
"You also feel a little regretful, don't you? A good man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be paired with a good girl."
Jiang Zhiyu naturally took his sister's hand, turned around and walked towards the mansion while talking.
In the carriage.
The prince lifted the curtain and stared closely at the little hand held by Jiang Zhiyu.
There was a moment like that.
He also wanted to rush down from the carriage, take Jiang Zhaoying's tender little white hand, and hold it tightly in his palm.
"Your Highness, the court officials are pressing us very hard. It seems that the candidate for the Crown Princess must be revealed."
The prince did not say anything. After returning to the prince's mansion, he gathered all his staff and some court officials together, and then handed a stack of memorials to everyone.
"Miss Cui?"
The aide's face changed drastically when he saw this. He stood up and spoke excitedly.
"Your Highness, this Miss Cui seems to have had a serious illness. Her face is still covered with pockmarks. She is already 21 years old. This is not okay. This is not okay."
The Cui family also knew that this young lady might not be able to get married in this lifetime, so they built a courtyard for her and arranged for people to take good care of her, preparing to support her until she was old.
Miss Cui is a quiet person. She occasionally goes to the temple to burn incense and pray for her family, and to copy Buddhist scriptures. She almost never leaves the house.
She also knew that she was not good-looking and in poor health, so she never talked about getting married. She must have planned to live alone for the rest of her life.
"Your Highness, the selection of the Crown Princess is no joke. How could you come up with such a..."
The staff pointed at the words and portraits on the memorial and were so anxious that they didn't know how to describe these ladies. If they told the truth, these ladies were so innocent and they were hurt.
"And this, Minister Luo's daughter fell down when she was a child, and her intelligence has remained at the level of a seven-year-old. This is not acceptable."
"The daughter of the Chen family is not bad, but her family background is a little low, so she is not good enough."
"And General Lee's daughter, she followed General Lee into battle and was seriously injured. Her legs are not handy for walking and she has been in a wheelchair. That is definitely not an option."
…
Read each book one by one.
None of them is suitable to be the Crown Princess.
The staff looked at the Crown Prince, and they all felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be plotting something, and there was no way he didn't know the seriousness of it.
Is it to make the Queen's family lower their guard?
What he said does make sense. If he marries someone with a similar family background, the Queen will definitely not let him go so easily. The secret war might even come to the surface, and everyone would fall out completely.
"Your Highness, did you choose these candidates to reassure the Queen?"
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly and was thinking about how to tell this matter to his staff. He didn't expect that they found a reason themselves. This reason was indeed very good, so the prince said in a deep voice with a cold face.
"This is just one of the reasons. Another reason is, think carefully. The fathers and brothers of these girls have all devoted their lives to the country. They have all been loyal and dedicated. Now, because of various reasons, they have physical defects, and they are criticized and pointed out by the world. They are trapped in the dust and live a lonely life. If this were your daughter, how would you feel?"
The court officials were stunned when they heard this, their eyes were slightly moved, but then they spoke firmly.
"Your Highness, let's be fair. You can reward them, but there is no need to welcome them in."
No way!
disagree!
The prince picked up one of the letters.
"Take Miss Li for example. Her legs were crippled for Daye, but in return she only died of old age in her house. Who remembers her bravery and her contributions now? This only chills the hearts of the people of the world. So I have decided that if any of the ministers who have made contributions to Daye have such misfortunes, I will welcome them into the Prince's Mansion, give them a stable life, and give them dignity."
Speaking of.
The prince looked to a courtier on his left.
"I also plan to welcome your second daughter into the Crown Prince's Mansion."
The courtier heard the thud and knelt before the prince. When he kowtowed heavily, his eyes and heart were filled with gratitude and loyalty.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is wise."
When his second daughter was born, she was missing five fingers on her left hand. They had been taking good care of her as she grew up. But who would have thought that when she went out to a banquet, she would be laughed at and ridiculed by the young ladies from various families.
After coming back.
The second daughter hanged herself.
Although she was rescued by them, she stayed in her boudoir and never came out again, which made them very distressed and anxious.
now.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to marry his daughter. What favor could be greater than this?
"Your Highness, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you. I also wish that Your Highness will live forever. My daughter does not want a noble position. Baolin is enough. Although her left hand is inconvenient, she has practiced music hard and has made some achievements. She can also help to solve the problem in the future."
"good."
The prince nodded.
Seeing that the old guy suddenly turned against them, everyone strongly agreed. They were speechless for a moment, and then they spoke anxiously.
"But...but the candidate for Prince Yueming's wife is the fourth daughter of Prime Minister Liu's Mansion. Prime Minister Liu's Mansion naturally stands on Prince Yueming's side. With Prime Minister Liu, Prince Yueming will be even more powerful. Your Highness, we still have to make plans early."
The Queen's mother's family is quite powerful. Although the He family is not in the capital, they are the overlords in the Jiangnan area that no one dares to offend. When the old man of the He family stomps the stomping ground, Jiangnan will tremble.
"But if Prime Minister Liu's Mansion and the He family from Jiangnan join forces, what other forces in the capital can rival them?"
Even if they confront each other head-on, the final outcome will probably be one death and the other injury, and no one will be able to escape completely.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
The court officials looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince recalled Jiang Zhaoying's words about taking all the things back and her eyes filled with hatred, and said in a deep voice.
“Soon.”
"Your Highness, are you planning to take action? No, Your Highness, it's too early to take action now. We are not 100% sure. This is too dangerous."
If we affect the whole body by pulling one hair out, it will be a disaster for both sides. We can't do that.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything, but stood up with a sullen face.
After returning to Pushe.
He sat down in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When the large koi weighing dozens of kilograms saw their owner coming, they slowly swam towards him. The prince grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it on the fish.
The fishes opened their mouths and ate slowly, one after another, and they looked so fat and beautiful.
"You guys are so relaxed."
The prince said this in a self-deprecating tone, while Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an listened and leaned forward to look at the school of fish. Cheng Ting'an pointed at one of the biggest black ones.
"This one was brought back by my subordinates. It's really handsome."
Shen Liuguang raised his eyebrows and patted Cheng Tingan on the shoulder.
"Old Cheng, let me give you a task."
"kindness?"
Cheng Ting'an raised his handsome face and blinked at Shen Liuguang, who came closer to him.
"Go make friends with Young Master Jiang and give him some hints."
"What does it imply?"
A hint of curiosity appeared on Cheng Ting'an's face, Shen Liuguang winked, and Cheng Ting'an waved his hand.
"Hey what on earth are you going to say?"
Chen Liuguang looked at Cheng Ting'an's simple-minded and silly face, raised his hand and slapped him on the head, causing Cheng Ting'an to cover his head and frown, saying aggrievedly.
"You know I've always been stupid, can't you just say it?"
"good."
Shen Liuguang grabbed Cheng Ting'an's ear and whispered something in his ear. After a while, Cheng Ting'an stood up straight with a look of shock on his face, and turned around for a long time.
"Then I'm going to make friends."
The prince's eyes moved coldly, and he sneered at himself. Shen Liuguang's scalp suddenly tingled, and he bowed.
"Your Highness, I believe he can definitely complete this mission."
"I hope Jiang Zhaoying will approach the lady who returned from Liu Mansion in the hunting ground. Remember to keep an eye on her then."
"I know."
Shen Liuguang nodded, a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and everything would be discussed after the hunt.
far away.
The figure of the secret guard flashed and landed behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, the husband of the eldest aunt of the Xu family fell and died."
The prince stood up, looked at the scenery in the distance, and sneered.
"Xu Zhiyan is still quick."
Shen Liuguang nodded.
"This eldest daughter of the Xu family really deserves retribution. Because she is Xu Zhiyan's biological sister, he has always wanted to let them go."
The "he" here refers to Wenshu, not Xu Zhiyan.
Because he grew up in Xu Zhiyan's body, Xu Zhiyan always wanted to let them go.
"It's really hard to guard against the dirty deeds of this aristocratic family. Everything can happen. Knowing that he couldn't have children, he thought of bringing his brother back to give birth to a son. I think that once this son is born, Lord Xu's life will be over."
"kindness."
Knowing that Xu Zhiyan was not the kind of person who would accept his fate, he hinted that Xu Zhiyan could do anything.
It seems now.
The child is teachable.
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Zhaoying also heard the news. Sitting in front of the flowers, Jiang Zhaoying cut the withered flowers and leaves, thought for a while, turned around and said.
"Bury these things in the northwest corner of the Xu Mansion. Second Senior Brother should have suppressed the soul of the son-in-law of the Xu family in the Xu Mansion. This thing can attract more unclean things."
With coldness in her eyes, Jiang Zhaoying sneered.
When Xu Qingyun left in a hurry, she put a soul-calling talisman on Xu Qingyun's body. With the help of Xu Zhiyan and the things she buried in the northwest corner, the ghosts would rush into Xu's house regardless of everything and follow Xu Qingyun.
"Miss, everything we need for the hunting grounds has been prepared. In addition, we have made two large jars of sauce for grilling meat when the time comes."
"The young master and the young lady have prepared four boxes. They have prepared everything they can think of."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying walked to the window, took a look at the sky, calculated carefully, and nodded.
"The weather is still okay, but it will get colder in a few days. After all, we are in the woods and it is shady inside, so we still have to be careful."
"yes."
After listening to this, Shu Yun turned around and went in to prepare some slightly thicker jackets.
"Miss, why don't you prepare two sets for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? We have plenty in our clothing store anyway."
"Yes, anyone who knows you can prepare it. It must be very cold there at night. It is difficult to recover from illness in this season."
Moreover, by that time, the disease will spread from one person to another, and there will be coughing everywhere. It will not be a good thing if the pharmacy is too busy to handle it.
"Oh, right, remind the shopkeeper to make some pills. If the weather is unpredictable, we can just buy some medicine for headaches and fevers. Also, we need to prepare winter supplies for the charity we run."
"Yes, I will go out and arrange it right away."
Shu Yu then turned around and went out to make arrangements. Shu Yun checked the things that would be needed. Nanny Li came over with the soup and smiled at how skillfully they both worked.
"These two girls are pretty good and can handle things on their own, but they are getting old and it's time for them to get married."
