Jiang Qiao stood in the middle of the hall, standing straight. Although he was a delicate girl, he looked quite heroic at this moment. "I just went out to choose a sword that suits me, but I didn't find one I liked."
Jiang Jixiao asked with interest: "What do you think?"
Jiang Qiao walked towards Chi Qian'an's seat and stopped three steps away. "General Jinghong's Soul-Drinking Sword is unparalleled. Changle has heard of it a long time ago. I wonder if the general could lend it to Changle?"
Normally, weapons were not allowed to be brought into the banquet, but Chi Qian was an exception. He was a great contributor to the Anhuai Kingdom, and the emperor allowed him to bring a sword into the banquet.
Chi Qi'an looked up at the smiling woman before him, his gaze grave and serious, as if lost in thought. Today, the emperor said he would choose one of the princesses to marry him, so was she asking to borrow his sword out of genuine admiration, or perhaps... something else?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Qiao was actually very panicked. It was over. The beauty trap didn't work. She couldn't borrow the sword. She was going to be embarrassed today!
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 35% strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Jiang Qiao: This time the fragments are a bit pretentious. He is moved but has a stern face, pretending to be so real.
Chi Qianan silently studied the object in his hand, but still handed it over, "Princess, be careful, the sword is also spiritual. If Yinpo doesn't like you, it would be bad if you hurt the princess."
Jiang Qiao took a few steps forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "General, you don't know, but this princess is loved by everyone, and Yinpo must be loved by everyone too!"
Chi Qi'an, who had just heard people around him talk about Princess Changle's love of killing people and how she was always disliked by everyone, said:...
"Don't you think General Jinghong and Princess Changle are a good match? They look so good in red!"
"Stop imagining this. How could General Jinghong fall for such a vicious woman?"
…
The women's seat is talking again.
Jiang Shuhuan turned around and glared at them, and those young ladies from aristocratic families immediately shut up!
She had just observed that General Jinghong was the most handsome man in the entire hall. The man's cold temperament really attracted her.
My mother said that the best man in the world is hers!
Jiang Qiao got the sword and returned to the center of the hall. She had never danced with a sword before, but the original owner was really good at dancing. She could combine dancing with the kung fu she had learned, so she had no choice but to go for it!
She was dressed in red, her slender fingers tightly grasping the long sword in her hand. The sword was agile and elegant. Every time she swung the sword, it brought an irresistible force, drawing bright tracks in the air. Her figure was like a ghost, elusive. As her steps changed, she leaped lightly, her hair dancing with her, like a poem or painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
The woman and the sword cooperated skillfully, and her dance was unforgettable. Chi Qian could see that the Soul-Drinking Sword liked her very much.
In this life, the Soul-Drinking Sword has only been used by her and no one else. Perhaps this is fate.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 43% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
When the dance was over, the hall was as quiet as a dull dream, and the expressions of the others varied, most of them were in shock.
Princess Changle seems like a different person. Although she is bad, her temperament is pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Ji was delighted and was the first to speak, "Well, Changle is worthy of being my eldest daughter. She actually has such a remarkable side!"
Jiang Qiao thought it was ridiculous. So, what did you do before? Constantly scolding her, showing infinite preference for Jiang Shuhuan, and being disgusted by her existence!
Lou Zhuxin was completely speechless, feeling extremely panicked and having a bad feeling.
Jiang Qiao put the Soul-Drinking Sword back on the hilt and let out a long cry.
The Soul-Drinking Sword returned to Chi Qian'an's hands.
"Yinpo is a good sword. Thank you, General Chi."
Chi Qi'an said calmly, "Princess, you are so polite!"
Jiang Qiao laughed fiercely: "General Chi, you just returned to the capital and you don't know that this princess is the least polite!"
Chi Qi'an's heart was shocked. He never believed in rumors, he only believed in the people in front of him.
Without waiting for Chi Qi'an to answer, Jiang Qiao walked to the center of the hall and stared at the silent Lou Zhuxin. "So, what gift does Concubine Zhu plan to give Changle?"
Lou Zhuxin said in a pretentious tone, "Princess Changle really shocked me. I didn't know that the princess could be so kind. To express my feelings, the princess can ask me for something."
However, Jiang Qiao didn't care about the cheap ones, and if she asked for the expensive ones, people would definitely gossip about her.
But who is Jiang Qiao? She is not afraid of other people's gossip. Her backer is the Queen Mother. She just wants Lou Zhuxin to regret telling her to make her own choice!
"Since Imperial Concubine Zhu has said so, Changle will not hold on. Changle wants Imperial Concubine Zhu's power to assist in managing the harem!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp.
How dare she ask for this?
Yuxing: The princess is dying!
Qin Pianyue: You want it, you want it, you want everything, just wait to die!
Qin Wei: It’s worthy of her!
Bai Chenshu: It’s my cousin who dares to ask for it!
Jiang Shuhuan: What did she say she wanted?
Even Chi Qian'an was a little surprised. This Princess Changle was quite interesting.
Lou Zhuxin almost couldn't hold back after hearing what Jiang Qiao wanted! Why don't you take my life?
How could she possibly hand over the power of harem management? Her eyes turned red in the blink of an eye: "Your Majesty, Changle is still young. She might have been provoked to say these things. Someone must have seen that the Empress was released from house arrest, so they taught Changle to say these things. Don't blame her!"
Jiang Qiao: Thank you for speaking up for me!
Jiang Ji's good mood was suddenly suppressed. Bai Mian was so greedy. He had already lifted her house arrest, what else did he want?
"How outrageous! This is sheer treason!"
Jiang Qiao was not affected by him and continued, "Noble Concubine Zhu has absolute power in the harem. She has ruined countless lives over the years. She is not worthy of the position of assistant minister!"
Lou Zhuxin burst into tears immediately: "Your Majesty, I don't have it. Over the years, I have been busy running around to handle the affairs of the harem. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. But since Changle wants it, give it to her!"
Jiang Shuhuan also stood up: "Father, you can't treat Mother like this. Mother's eyes are blurry from looking at the account books for so many years!"
Jiang Ji was furious: "You rebellious girl, who taught you to say that? Get down on your knees!"
"The Queen has arrived!"
Bai Mian was supported by Yun Yan and came in. This was the first time Jiang Ji saw her after many years.
Bai Mian had put on makeup today, but she still looked a little sick. She slowly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Changle didn't mean to do that. Please don't blame me. I will teach her a lesson!"
There was a hint of pity in Jiang Ji's eyes. After all, he felt sorry for her over the years!
