Chapter 22: Humbug, I am Jiang Dahu



When it comes to being cunning, it has to be Gu Qingchen.

Jiang Li thought to herself.

When she entered the courtyard, she smelled a hint of ambergris, and immediately thought of what was mentioned in the original book: the person in power supported by Qin Ji would always carry the scent of ambergris on his body to show his noble status.

Asking Xiaojiu to call Gu Qingchen over was also to prepare for any emergency.

Fortunately, this person's brain seems to be a little bit weak, no wonder he was controlled by Qin Ji in the later period. Jiang Li looked at the unconscious Third Prince in front of him, and thought of Gu Qingchen's plan, and almost laughed out loud.

"Later you...both of you stay away."

When Gu Qingchen saw Jiang Li blinking her sparkling eyes and looking at Gu Yanheng, he wanted to cover the woman's eyes.

Jiang Li nodded obediently, "Don't worry, don't look at anything inappropriate, I know."

Then he turned to Xiaojiu and said, "Did you hear that? Xiaojiu."

"Aunt Huang, can I take a look?" Gu Yuyan always felt that something exciting would happen soon.

"No, you don't."

As he spoke, Jiang Li pulled Xiao Jiu out of the peach forest. Calculating the time, the good show in the South Wing was about to begin.

After the woman's back disappeared, Gu Qingchen turned his gaze to Gu Yanheng.

He had known for a long time that his nephew had always been hiding his abilities.

But I didn't expect that this guy would dare to set his sights on Jiang Li.

very good.

Gu Qingchen's eyes darkened. It seemed that some things could not be done slowly.

"My Lord, aren't we going back to the palace?"

They left in a hurry at that time, and the prince had not finished the things at hand. Mo Jiu saw the prince jump off the wall and go straight to the palace, so he hurriedly reminded him.

These days, Gu Qingchen has been investigating the affairs of Yongning Palace, and he has also made some progress in the last assassination attempt on Mo Qi. At the same time, there are unusual movements in southern Xinjiang at this time, so he is very busy.

"Go directly to Moyun Pavilion to get the person. I need to go to the palace first."

"yes."

Mo Jiu didn't understand what could be more important than catching a traitor.

Imperial study.

"Royal brother, has the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated an auspicious date?"

The emperor choked, "Qingchen, you've come at the perfect time. Look, the memorial says that the seventh day of the first lunar month three months from now is an auspicious day..."

After taking a look at Gu Qingchen's expression, the emperor changed the subject and asked, "Then do you think the seventh day of next month would also be a good day?"

"What do you think, brother?"

The emperor suddenly understood, "I think so."

Gu Qingchen bowed and said, "My royal brother is the true dragon emperor. Since my royal brother thinks it is, then it must be."

"Hahahahahahaha, okay, then on the seventh day of next month, I will issue an edict tomorrow."

"Brother Emperor, didn't you teach me that today's work must be done today?"

“…”

"County Master, it's just ahead."

Chunmei pointed to the right side of the south wing and said, "The young lady brought the eldest daughter here to eat cakes, but I just came to look for them and didn't see them."

Bai Xue's gaze fell on Chunmei. After a moment's thought, she said, "County Lady, how about I send someone to look around here first?"

The Princess of Yong'an shook her head and said there was no need.

Everyone was pushing forward when suddenly a man's voice rang out, "Qin Ji, why are you here too? Could it be that you're worried about Jiang Li too?"

"What? The marriage between the Jiang and Qin families has been cancelled for a long time. I think Mr. Qin is here to watch the fun!"

Qin Ji's face changed slightly when he heard this. He shouldn't have come.

The Hundred Flowers Festival has always been a great opportunity for him to recruit talents for the Qin family. He had originally made an appointment to discuss matters in the small tea room, but when he heard from the servants that the young lady from the Jiang Mansion was missing, he got carried away and came here without thinking.

"I just came late today because of something. Why are you all gathered here?" Qin Ji was ready to play dumb.

"Hmph." Princess Yong'an snorted upon hearing this and was too lazy to pay attention. She hated this kind of pretentious man the most. He was too fake. No wonder Jiang Li was so determined to break off the engagement. If it were her, she would not look down on him either!

“Hmm…ah…”

The crowd fell into silence for a moment, making the sudden sound in the compartment extremely obvious.

The voice was so enchanting that all the women present blushed in an instant.

The men immediately became excited. Could it be that Jiang Li was carrying Prince Jingling on his back...

"County Lady..."

Bai Xue's face turned pale. This is the Hundred Flowers Festival, how could such a sound appear?!

"How dare you do such a shameless thing in broad daylight? Someone, break the door down!"

"Bang!"

The door opened.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the room.

"Miss!" Chunmei turned around unintentionally and shouted as if she had seen a ghost.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Jiang Li appear behind them, holding a little girl in her right hand and followed by a personal maid.

"Jiang Li? Why are you here?!" a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Hey, didn't the county lady say that the flower-fighting competition would be held in the garden pavilion? I waited for a long time but no one showed up. I asked around and found out everyone was already here."

Jiang Li's voice is gentle, leisurely and decent.

Some people just don't believe it: "Jiang Li, what are you talking about? Where did you go just now?"

Jiang Li smiled and asked, "Whose family is this girl from? How can she speak so rudely?"

The woman was stunned, then remembered Jiang Li's current identity. She turned her questioning into mumbling, "Didn't your maid say she couldn't find you and Jiang Shengsheng? We've been searching for so long!"

"Oh?" Jiang Li continued, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. I was just worried about missing the time, so I promised Shengsheng that I could try the cakes after the flower fighting competition was over. I just wandered around and then immediately returned to the garden. It was obviously you who didn't come on time, so how can you blame me?"
