When Jiang Qingqing arrived at Kunning Palace, Empress Xu was busy listening to the palace ladies reporting news. She asked Wanqing to take a message to Empress Xu, and then she went straight to the backyard.
When I arrived at Jiang Chen's bedside, I saw my brother's ruddy face that was slightly rounded.
How can this person look like a patient?
If you don’t know, you might think someone has gained weight.
"How's the recovery of Third Brother?" Jiang Qingqing grabbed the palace maid who was serving Jiang Chen beside the bed and asked.
The maid looked at the location of Jiang Chen's wound, turned her head and said to Jiang Qingqing truthfully: "The Third Prince has a good foundation, and the imperial physician also said that the Third Prince recovers quickly. He should be fully recovered in no more than half a month."
"Can you walk now?"
"According to the imperial physician's instructions, it is possible."
"Okay, let's pack up," Jiang Qingqing nodded decisively after hearing what she wanted to hear, and asked someone to start packing Jiang Chen's clothes, "Then let's go back to Huaning Palace, and don't lie here anymore."
Jiang Chen was half lying on the bed. Before he could say a word, Jiang Qingqing had arranged everything for him.
He just stared at Jiang Qingqing.
Jiang Qingqing looked around the items in the room, and after making sure everything was correct, she turned back to look at Jiang Chen.
"Brother, let me tell you a big gossip. If you weren't injured, you would still be able to see my awesome figure."
Jiang Qingqing grabbed Jiang Chen's sleeve and began to talk incessantly about her experience today.
Jiang Chen originally looked at Jiang Qingqing with resentment in his heart, resentful of his own sister for not even coming to visit him when he was sick.
But as he watched his sister turning around in front of him in all her energy, he thought that it was fortunate that the injury was on his body. If his sister, such a lively little kid, was to get hurt, she definitely wouldn't have as much patience as him.
Jiang Chen was thinking about all sorts of irrelevant things in his mind, while taking the time to listen to Jiang Qingqing's endless words.
At first, I was really too lazy to listen to what Jiang Qingqing said, and I tried to respond to her in a perfunctory but not very obvious manner.
But with the appearance of Han Qingyi and the plot about a maid marrying a soldier, Jiang Chen couldn't help but listen carefully.
When it came to the end where the emperor executed Han Qingyi, Jiang Chen was so shocked that his mouth was open, unable to speak.
"So, you slapped Han Qingyi several times in front of a group of people? And then you threatened Han Qingyi that you would kill her?"
Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva and looked at Jiang Qingqing with a look that changed from complexity to relief and finally to emotion.
"As expected of me, Jiang Chen's biological sister, you are quite like your biological brother!"
Jiang Chen originally wanted to pat his chest, but when he thought of the wound on his chest, he patted his belly instead.
Jiang Qingqing looked down at Jiang Chen's belly and was silent for a moment.
"Brother, you really should think of a way to lose weight when you can walk again. You may be the most plump among the three princes."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows, covered his stomach with both hands, and looked at Jiang Qingqing with a somewhat hurt expression.
"You're talking nonsense! I'm not fat!"
"Look at you, you have a double chin!" Jiang Qingqing only then discovered that Jiang Chen's chin had a faint layer of double chin.
There is more flesh on his handsome facial features. Although the flesh on his face looks healthy, it is still somewhat unpleasant to a face-conscious person like Jiang Qingqing.
The brother and sister were arguing with each other. Jiang Chen got down from the sickbed and the palace servants came forward to help Jiang Chen change his clothes.
Jiang Qingqing walked beside Jiang Chen, and the brother and sister first went to the front hall to express their gratitude and pay their respects to Queen Xu. With Queen Xu's permission, the two left Kunning Palace and went straight back to Huaning Palace.
Jiang Chen returned to the familiar atmosphere, and his expression became visibly relaxed.
"Okay, go and have a rest. You've been running out of the palace for a long time. With your stamina, you can come to Kunning Palace to pick me up. Isn't it almost exhausted?!"
When Jiang Chen saw Jiang Qingqing yawning secretly, he said with disgust, but actually he urged Jiang Qingqing to go to rest.
They walked to the backyard and went back to their respective houses to rest.
A dreamless night, the next day.
Jiang Qingqing was still sleeping, with her head buried in the quilt and refusing to come out.
Here, Xiao Linting finished his morning court session and came to Huaning Palace with the news from the court.
Jiang Qingqing couldn't be woken up after trying for a long time, so Jiang Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the front hall.
By the time she woke up naturally, Gan Yuan and Gan Lin had already prepared toiletries and were standing at the head of the bed, looking at her.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two figures.
This scared Jiang Qingqing.
"What are you doing? Standing above my head so early in the morning, are you looking for souls?" She was frightened and in a bad mood, so her tone of voice was inevitably a little harsh.
Gan Yuan and Gan Lin hurried to the end of the bed, one to get the wet handkerchief, and the other ready to hand it over at any time.
"Half an hour ago, the prince came and talked with the Third Prince for a quarter of an hour, and then took the Third Prince out. Before leaving, the prince asked the servants to ask you if you want to go to Ba Village in the afternoon."
Ba Village?
Jiang Qingqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. For a moment, her mind was still unclear.
"Why are you going to Ba Village? Wasn't I sued by the officials of Ba Village some time ago?"
It’s not Jiang Qingqing’s fault for holding a grudge. If someone encounters something nonsensical, they will think about it for a while.
Gan Lin handed over the wet handkerchief, and then said carefully: "I don't know what happened, but before the Third Prince left, he looked a little happy."
"Happy?" Jiang Qingqing's dull brain finally started to work.
Could it be that... at the morning court today, the emperor's uncle handed the matter of Ba Village to Jiang Chen to handle? ?
Doesn't this mean that she can now start preparing her own network arrangements! ?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing could no longer suppress the restlessness and happiness in her heart.
She quickly raised her hand to wipe her face, and washed and dressed almost twice as fast as usual.
"Where is Third Brother now?" Jiang Qingqing asked, looking up.
Gan Yuan tied Jiang Qingqing's last bow and then said, "According to what was discussed half an hour ago, the prince should have taken the third prince to the imperial study. Perhaps His Majesty wants to tell the third prince something."
Jiang Qingqing nodded in understanding.
Indeed, before handing over Ba Village to Jiang Chen in name, my father did need to give Jiang Chen some instructions and also give him some certificates.
Her original desire to find the emperor's uncle suddenly faded a little.
"Your Highness is not going to look for the prince?" Gan Yuan keenly noticed something.
Jiang Qingqing shook her head. She thought of the person who had been hiding all the time, and her expression gradually became cunning.
"Go find trouble with other people!"
