"Princess, this way please."
As soon as Jiang Li got off the carriage, he saw Nanny Li, who was beside the Queen Mother, waiting at the palace gate.
Originally, Gu Qingchen was thinking of returning home to pick up Jiang Li after finishing his court affairs, but when he thought of what happened last night, Jiang Li's face turned red, and he decided to run away with Mo Qi and Bai Zhi.
"Mo Qi, tell the prince later. I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother first."
After explaining everything, Jiang Li immediately wanted to escape.
"Princess, it's Concubine Yue."
Bai Zhi suddenly felt a chill on her back. When she looked up, it was the troublesome Concubine Yue.
The woman wore her hair in a high bun and light makeup today, which was a little different from usual.
Although Jiang Li holds an official position, he came to attend the palace banquet today as a family member and was not wearing an official robe. It would be inappropriate for him to avoid him directly.
Jiang Li sighed. She wasn't worried that Concubine Yue would cause trouble, but she just felt it was troublesome.
"Princess Jinling."
Seeing that Jiang Li clearly saw her but did not react, Concubine Yue said to herself that she had indeed underestimated Jiang Li in the past. This woman was too scheming.
So, she took the initiative to speak and stepped forward.
"Noble Concubine Yue."
Although the visitor had a smile on his face, Jiang Li was not stupid enough to think that he was here to establish a good relationship with her.
From the day the second master of the Qin family was killed by her, she knew that she and the Qin family would be at war until death.
///
Qin Mansion.
The sky is overcast.
Because the second son of the Qin family died with a crime in his body, even the funeral could not be held.
The old man of the Qin family suffered a blow. He had consulted many doctors in the past few days, but his condition had not improved. Everyone in the mansion kept silent and was very cautious, fearing that they would accidentally bring bad luck upon themselves.
Qin Chuan has been on sick leave since he left the palace yesterday. His second son is gone, and one of his generals, Qi Yuan, was also killed by Jiang Li and Prince Jingling. Qin Chuan felt that he had never encountered such a thing in all his years in officialdom.
"Father, you haven't eaten since you came back yesterday. If you continue like this, I'm afraid your body will be damaged."
Qin Ji knocked on the study door, then took the servant's lunch box and walked in.
"Bang!"
An inkstone hit me in the face.
Qin Ji couldn't dodge in time, and the pain in his left shoulder almost made him drop the food box on the ground.
Qin Ji gritted his teeth, placed the food box on the table, and said, "Father, please don't blame yourself too much. If you want to blame someone, blame me for underestimating the enemy. After all, according to my previous investigation, Jiang Li is just a stupid woman who is trampled on by her concubine sister all day long and dares not say a word."
"Who would have thought... now he seems like a completely different person."
"Prince Jingling's fame at a young age is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary person. As for Jiang Li," Qin Chuan snorted coldly, "She was able to hide her incompetence to this extent. Ji'er, you didn't deserve to lose."
In Qin Chuan's opinion, all the traps they fell into these days were set by Prince Jingling. As for Jiang Li, she was just a link he missed.
"But father, things have come to this point. I feel we can't just sit there and wait for death. Now that Jiang Li has been recognized by the General's Mansion, it will be extremely difficult to deal with her. Therefore, I went to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince last night, and we are ready..."
There will be a celebration banquet tonight, and all the court officials and their families will enter the palace. If they can make the General's Mansion make a mistake, then they can at least get back at the city.
"But those brats are not as simple as you think." Qin Chuan knew that his son was always smart, but he didn't expect that he would think of how to fight back so quickly. Although the plan was a bit vicious, it was not impossible. However, the emperor was right. Jiang Yao really raised some good sons.
"Father, those young generals are naturally difficult to deal with, but Jiang Mubai..."
Let’s start with that lazy playboy.
Qin Chuan looked up at Qin Ji and nodded, "Father is old after all, and the Qin Mansion will depend on you in the future. Go ahead and do it quickly. If you can really accomplish it, you can also let those people know that if they offend our Qin family, they will not have a good result!"
Imperial Garden.
Jiang Li really didn't expect that Concubine Yue would be so talkative today.
As the two of them walked along, she was still chatting about this and that, as if she had a very good relationship with Jiang Li.
And he never mentioned what happened in the Qin family in the past few days.
"Noble Concubine Yue," Jiang Li was still waiting to pay her respects before going to the Imperial Hospital to see if there were any Tianshan Snow Lotus in the palace. So, she said directly, "If you have anything to say, why not speak frankly?"
“Puff—”
Upon seeing this, Imperial Concubine Yue actually covered her mouth and smiled, "They say the princess is straightforward, and it's true. How come I didn't realize before that the princess could be so adorable?"
Jiang Li was getting goosebumps.
He became more and more certain that there was something fishy going on with Concubine Yue.
The next moment, the other party spoke, "It's actually nothing serious. I was asked to come and ask Princess, do your brothers have any women they like?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li understood and said with a smile, "When did Concubine Yue develop this habit of matchmaking for others?"
Seeing Jiang Li's weird attitude, Concubine Yue tightly grasped her handkerchief. God knows, she really wanted to drag the man in front of her away and beat him to death!
So many things have happened in the Qin family recently, causing her to be neglected by the emperor. If her brother had not written a letter saying that he would take action against the general's mansion tonight, she would not have spoken to Jiang Li in such a nice tone.
Suppressing her anger, Concubine Yue smiled and said, "Isn't this a matter of loyalty to the person entrusted with the task? Do you remember Qin Shuang'er? She has a younger sister who is also of marriageable age. Everyone in the capital now says that your brothers are truly exceptional men. If we could become in-laws, wouldn't that be a truly wonderful match?"
