Since they both lived in the capital, the Jin and Jiang families often interacted with each other, so Jin Qiaoyu and Jiang Yuanqi naturally knew each other.
Jin Qiaoyu had admired Jiang Yuanqi for a long time, otherwise she would not want to marry Jiang Yuanqi at this time.
Naturally, Jiang Yuanqi also had feelings for Jin Qiaoyu.
It was precisely because they were interested in each other that she wanted to break them up.
How could she watch them live so happily?
Of course, how and when to grant the marriage is another question.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi summoned the second son of the Jiang family, her brother Jiang Yuanhe, into the palace.
Jiang Yuanhe is nineteen years old this year, and he is only one year younger than Jiang Yuanqi. At that time, Marquis Anyuan and He had just gotten married, and Concubine Cui had just gotten married. The Grand Princess kept a close eye on them, so Marquis Anyuan and Concubine Cui did not reconnect, so the relationship between the two was still pretty good.
She was still young at that time, and almost immediately after giving birth to Jiang Yuanqi, He became pregnant with Jiang Yuanhe.
Not only are the two brothers only one year apart in age, they also look 70% alike.
Their personalities are somewhat similar.
They are all opportunists.
It is also unclear whether it was to help Marquis Anyuan or to help the He family.
Marquis Anyuan was a calculating man. As for He, she seemed to be loyal and righteous, and people outside also said that she was kind-hearted. She was a rare dignified and virtuous wife.
But Jiang Yi knew her best.
He's good reputation really flatters her.
In fact, the He family is the most fame-seeking.
She helped Aunt Cui at that time simply because in her eyes, Aunt Cui was harmless, and helping Aunt Cui would also give her a good reputation.
Even at the beginning, when she knew that she was her biological daughter, she hesitated and did not dare to acknowledge her, and it was not simply because of Jiang Yuanying.
It was because of her own vulgarity that they were afraid that she would bring trouble to the He family.
He was just saying nice things. She said she was reluctant to give up her adopted daughter, but she was just reluctant to give up her adopted daughter who was well-educated.
When Jiang Yi thought of He, he felt mostly sarcastic.
That feeling of powerlessness, sadness and despair disappeared a long time ago.
She had no hope for He, and when she looked at He again, she felt even more ironic.
What's even more ironic is that she once felt sad for such an extremely hypocritical person.
However, Jiang Yi also knew that some things could only be known through experience.
If you have never had it, you will always desire it.
Just like the saying that what you can’t get is the best.
While Jiang Yi was daydreaming, Jiang Yuanhe came into the palace.
Although he had the support of the Grand Princess and the Anyuan Marquisate, who sent Jiang Yuanhe to serve in the Golden Feather Guard early on, he was a lazy person and had been an ordinary guard for so many years without any further advancement.
Naturally, he often felt annoyed. They were both legitimate sons of the Marquis's Mansion, but because of the one-year age difference, his elder brother was the Crown Prince, and now he had become the Marquis.
You can inherit the title without fighting.
When he heard that the Queen had summoned him, he naturally had many expectations in his heart.
The current queen is his biological sister, and Jiang Yi is a marquis who returned halfway, and it can be said that she has no feelings for him.
When Jiang Yi just returned home and the matter of child swapping was exposed, he did not step forward. At that time, he did not think that his sister would be able to achieve anything in the future.
After all, people who grew up in such a place are bound to be narrow-minded and petty.
At most, a girl like this can marry someone of similar status under the protection of the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
Not to mention that Jiang Yuanying is over Jiang Yi's head. The two of them dislike each other, and it is not certain whether Jiang Yuanying can allow Jiang Yi to live.
Naturally, he wouldn't approach this sister too early to build a relationship with her, for fear of bringing bad luck upon himself.
But he never thought that this sister whom he had never seen would have such a good fortune.
She failed to marry Prince Gong, but married the emperor and became Prince Gong's sister-in-law.
It's just that Jiang Yi got married suddenly. Even though he wanted to get close to his sister, he had no way to do so.
Now that he heard Jiang Yi summoning him, he naturally tried his best to perform in front of Jiang Yi.
So that Jiang Yi can give him some benefits because of their brother-sister relationship.
"Your Highness, as early as the time when you returned to the Marquis' Mansion, I wanted to get close to you. After all, we are siblings, and we are different from that fake one."
"In the past, even though that fake one grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, I just couldn't get close to her. Not only that, I also felt that everything about her was bad. She didn't look like my sister at all."
"For this, I have been scolded by my mother a lot."
"Now that I think about it, this is probably the blood relationship."
"I only regret that my sister didn't grow up in the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise I would have carefully protected her and never let her suffer any injustice."
"Oh, Second Brother cares so much about me?" Jiang Yi asked in surprise, "Then why didn't Second Brother come to visit me when I returned to the Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Yuanhe felt a little embarrassed by this, and a bitter smile crossed his eyes. "Your Majesty, you may not know that I am usually busy on official business away from home. I only come back occasionally and want to visit you, but my father stops me."
"Father not only stopped me, but also asked me to get closer to Jiang Yuanying. I naturally refused."
The first sentence puts all the blame on the late Marquis Anyuan, while the second sentence praises his achievements.
Look, even though Marquis Anyuan said this, he was not that close to Jiang Yuanying.
As for whether there is one or not, I’m afraid Jiang Yi doesn’t know either.
How could Jiang Yi not know? She knew it. At that time, whenever Jiang Yuanhe came back from work, he would bring Jiang Yuanying her favorite snacks. Sometimes, if he was late, he would ask the servants to deliver it to her.
