Chapter 103 Special

"If you don't want to pull it, then don't pull it. Just walk slower."

Si Li fought for the right to walk slowly, and then he heard Jiang Lang slowly say, "Qinghe was called away and found you missing when he came back. The maid was sent by my mother to look for you. Just after asking a few questions in the plum forest, she was called out and said you were missing, which made a big fuss." He looked a little annoyed, and his expression was much more lively than before when he always looked indifferent. "I heard it too late, and Yuan Fangtong also asked about Concubine Yuan. It was really annoying."

It was a very common cliché, but no one knew who did it. Si Li was thinking about something, and just as she was thinking about it, she saw Jiang Lang swearing, "Big Brother has already asked someone to investigate, and the truth will definitely come out. Don't worry, this incident will not be known to others, so don't worry."

His trust and respect for the prince almost spilled out of his words. Si Li looked him up and down for a moment, and felt that there was a subtle sense of disharmony, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Did Jiang Shizhi praise the prince like this before...?

Si Li was not too worried about reputation. Nothing happened. Even for the sake of the reputation of the Prince of Yue's Mansion, people would be silenced. After confirming that Ah Zhu was settled by Qinghe near the flower hall, Si Li was completely relieved and had the mind to ask other things. "I made pork floss xiaobei this time thinking of giving it to the princess. It's not too sweet. Are you used to it? If you are not used to it, the store also has a portion of taro paste pork floss xiaobei with sugar. Come with me to get it after the flower banquet is over tonight."

Who loves sweets?!

"..." Jiang Lang's expression twisted for a moment. He was angry but dared not speak. He responded vaguely and walked across the corridor. "Mother is waiting for you. Come in."

Seeing his expression change, Si Li's heart suddenly tensed up. Feeling incongruent, she took a step back cautiously and blurted out, "Are you really Jiang Shizhi?"

Jiang Lang stopped and looked at her in silence. Si Li thought, who else could come to see the Princess of Yue like this if not the Crown Prince? She laughed at herself for being too suspicious and laughed, "I didn't say anything."

Meeting Jiang Lang's puzzled and urging eyes, Si Li straightened her expression, tidied up a strand of hair hanging on her temples, and stepped into the room where faint laughter could be heard.

The Yue Wangfei's place was elegantly decorated, which was different from her childishness. When Si Li entered the room, she saw Xiao Qi pouring tea for the Yue Wang, kneeling casually, talking about the changes in the northwest in recent years. Seeing Si Li being led in by Jiang Lang, Xiao Qi grinned first, "Why are you here just now? The princess has been away for a long time."

The atmosphere in the room was obviously that people had not heard about what happened before, so Si Li did not speak to ruin everyone's mood. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, the King of Yue, and the Queen."

Before she even knelt down and called him a thousand years old, Si Li was helped to stand up by the princess who came over and held her hand affectionately, "Look, you don't have to be so reserved. Alang, see Miss Xiao off."

Jiang Lang was relieved after bringing the person here. He clasped his hands and said with a sigh of relief, "Yes, mother. I'll take my leave."

As soon as he left, the Yue King and his wife and Si Li were the only ones left in the room besides the maids. The Yue King patted his belly and said, "Young people should be more lively. Alang is so nervous. If you are free in a few days, can you ask someone to go to your house and order a hot pot? Let me, an old man, have a taste of the new food."

"The Crown Prince's residence has a quota for visitors. If Your Highness and the Princess want to come, there will naturally be room for them." When talking about the direction of her own business, Si Li relaxed a little, with a smile on her lips.

"Well, he is him and we are us. Forget about expecting him to be filial." The King of Yue waved his hands, "I'm going to take a rest."

"Farewell, Your Highness." Si Li tried to stand up and say goodbye again, but was restrained by the Princess of Yue again.

Princess Yue's eyes were full of smiles. Her gentle and kind eyes were beyond her youth. She really had some elder flavor. She patted Si Li's hand. "A Li is a good girl. No wonder Shi Zhi... Shi Zhi has his own ideas since he was a child. Something happened in the palace in the past, and some things weighed on his mind. His temper has become a little cold. I haven't seen him say anything to anyone in these years. It's fate that he can get closer to you."

Si Li was a little embarrassed. Hearing the other person's mother speak so bluntly, she felt as if she had met the parents before she had abducted their son. She stammered for a few times, unable to think of what to say, and her face felt as hot as if it was on fire.

The Princess of Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "We all know about your family's affairs. We were afraid that you would suffer any loss if we went to Madam Si's place, and we were afraid that it would delay things if we told the Jian family. If there are any difficulties or changes in the future, just send someone to come to the Yue Palace to find me. I will never let you suffer any loss. I see you as if you were seeing my own daughter. Who have you invited as the guest of honor at your coming-of-age ceremony? If not, how about I do it?" The Princess of Yue decided on the guest of honor at the coming-of-age ceremony in just a few words. She spoke in a gentle manner, and was an elder who was very easy to get along with.

Si Li understood the implication behind the words. This meant that the Yue Palace would stand behind her and support her. She was grateful and blushed at the same time. However, she knew something about the coming-of-age ceremony. If she got engaged to Jiang Shizhi, the Yue Palace would be half the host family, so how could they be the main guest? Or did the Yue Princess not want to propose marriage, but just wanted to be friends?

After thinking for a long time, Si Li became a little confused. She chatted with the Princess of Yue about the popular snacks in the capital and what she and Jiang Shizhi did on a daily basis.

Jiang Hengyun received the latest news from his subordinates, and his expression was slightly cold, but when he saw Jiang Lang guarding the door of the Princess of Yue, his expression eased. Jiang Lang came forward, "Brother!"

"Yeah." Jiang Hengyun and his cousin entered a side room. The window was open, so they could see a little bit of the scene in the main room. His eyes fell on the face of the girl with rosy cheeks, and there was indescribable tenderness in his eyes. Jiang Lang looked at his cousin's expression, and his hair stood up. He rubbed his arms in fear, "Brother, how did you decide on her?"

Jiang Lang blurted out the doubts that had been floating in his mind. Jiang Hengyun frowned and looked at him, "You are disrespectful." Jiang Hengyun scolded him with a smile on his lips, "Don't you think she is the most special one in the crowd?"

Jiang Lang felt his teeth were about to fall out just by looking at his brother's smile. Following Jiang Hengyun's gaze, the girl sitting next to his mother was not in a standard posture. Special? Did she not stand or sit properly?

But Jiang Lang only complained a few words in his heart and never dared to speak out. He still remembered how many times he was spanked for his manners when he was a child learning martial arts with his brother. Just thinking about it made his hands hurt.

In the past, I had only heard of old houses catching fire and getting out of control, but I didn't expect that his eldest brother's new house would catch fire, which was also unreasonable.

"Okay, I'm sane, don't think too much."

Jiang Lang was startled by the sudden sound, and then he heard Jiang Hengyun ask again, "What did you say to her just now?"

After honestly repeating what he said before, Jiang Lang raised his hand and swore that he didn't touch a single hair. Jiang Hengyun said calmly, "I know, you go to accompany the princess later." After that, Jiang Hengyun took out his mask and appeared in the house as if he had transformed into a living person. However, if you look closely, there are still some differences. The two are of similar size, but Jiang Hengyun is slightly taller. After restraining his temperament and intentionally approaching Jiang Lang, Jiang Shizhi, whom Si Li had seen before, walked out of the door.

The topic between the main wife, Li Sili, and the Princess of Yue has turned to women's education. As a sister-in-law, the Princess of Yue had a lot of exchanges with the Queen in the past, and now her words are filled with regret and nostalgia.

"...Heng Yun has managed to keep the family business for his mother. Otherwise, once Yun Sheng died, there would be many people who would do the opposite. How could he live like this today?"

The conversation with Jiang Shizhi about the empress in the past came to mind. Thinking about the ending of the reform in the Song Dynasty in the previous life, the backlash of the groups whose interests were damaged was no joke. Si Li suddenly felt a little soft-hearted towards the prince who looked cold. The queen Yun Sheng was not a person of this era, and the children she educated were incompatible with this era, but the prince still worked hard for his mother's reform revolution, giving women and the new generation a living space.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a very good person." This is all Si Li said in the end.

"When people get older, they like to talk about the past. Shizhi, how come I would eat a little girl?" The slight sadness on the face of the Princess of Yue disappeared, and a little annoyance appeared.

Isn't it Alan?

Si Li looked back and saw Jiang Shizhi, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, standing in front of the door and bowing against the light. For a moment, she seemed to see a large field of spring flowers blooming. The previous sense of discord completely disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she had thought too much.

"Okay, you young people go have fun, and don't be late for dinner later."

"I'll take my leave." Si Li stood up and saluted. Princess Yue smiled and said, "Don't forget to invite me for your coming-of-age celebration, okay?"

"Thank you for your favor, Princess." Si Li responded with a smile. After Jiang Shizhi bowed again, she followed him out the door.

Jiang Hengyun's steps were so slow that they were almost inaudible, but the speed was just right, just the speed that Si Li could keep up with. Before entering the Yue Wangfei's door, she had the nerve to pull her sleeves, but after being hinted at and hinted at their ambiguous relationship, she was no longer so shameless. She followed Jiang Shizhi's steps all the way forward, and walked into the plum forest just now, where green clouds were floating and a sea of ​​fragrant snow was everywhere.

Si Li's eyelids jumped when he saw the familiar scenery. Jiang Hengyun, who had been waiting for the girl all the way but didn't reach out his hand, deliberately slowed down his pace and pinched his fingertips and stopped. Si Li saw his indifferent expression and her heart skipped a beat. "I asked you before if it was you. Are you angry?"

Jiang Hengyun raised his lips, "No, I'm very happy. Jiang Lang and Jiang Shizhi are two different people." Behind him were flowers and streams, beautiful scenery everywhere, but none of them could compare to the softness in his eyes. Si Li stared at him in a daze. Jiang Hengyun reached out and gently touched her cheek, and said softly, "Wait for me to propose."

? !

Si Li took a step back, patted her hot cheeks, and complained, "Who said I would marry you? How could anyone confess their feelings without blushing?" Without waiting for Jiang Shizhi to speak, Si Li took another step back, "I'm going to eat."

The girl walked away faster and faster, and disappeared in the plum forest in a few steps. The maid Qinghe appeared silently beside her, bowed her head and clasped her fists, "Your Highness."

"Go. If anything happens again, you will be dismissed and investigated." Jiang Hengyun's voice was gentle and smiling, but his content was cold. Qinghe lowered his head deeply, and several flashes also disappeared.

The voices disappeared, Jiang Lang came out of the room and walked to his elder brother. He was startled by the blush on Jiang Hengyun's face. The ice-like beauty melted away, and her complexion was like spring flowers and the bright moon. Just one glance made people's hearts beat fast. Jiang Lang turned his eyes away, "Big, big brother?"

Jiang Hengyun had taken off his mask, but the smile on his lips never faded.

Mini-theater:

Jiang Lang & Princess: Finally the old house is on fire, rolling, rolling, not even dog food to eat!

King Yue: Let the prince be filial to us? It will shorten his life!

Lili: What, why are you confessing suddenly? ? ? ?

The prince (innocent) has shown you his hand. Doesn’t that mean he has tacitly agreed to the marriage proposal?

During the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi was involved in reforms. Under the struggle between the old and new parties, Wang Anshi died of illness. Emperor Shenzong and Emperor Zhezong gave Wang Anshi a posthumous title, but all the reforms were overturned. During the Jingkang period, Wang Anshi's posthumous title and posthumous honors were stripped away. It was a tragic case. However, Wang Anshi's actions were indeed a bit radical, which caused trouble for the people.

The Empress' transformation and some of the previous descriptions in the article are actually based on this incident. The foreshadowing should be visible. The Empress and some female students represent the New Party, while the aristocratic families outside the royal family represent the Old Party and have been hindering and smearing them. Before the Empress' death, she made progress through compromise. The Emperor, faced with the excellence of his wife, was increasingly disenchanted with her because of her achievements. So after the Empress' death, he began to do evil things. Fortunately, he had the Crown Prince to support him.
