Chapter 694 Heh



"My grandmother is right. People have similarities. Although they are not common, they do exist. I was just imagining things." Jiang Si smiled and agreed with the words of the old lady of Yining Marquis, but his heart sank a little.

Just now her grandmother avoided her gaze.

In Jiang Si's opinion, this kind of reaction at least seems to be due to guilt.

What could an experienced old man have to feel guilty about when facing his grandchildren?

Jiang seemed reluctant to doubt the elders she was close to, but she said almost the same things to her father and grandmother, and their reactions were completely different.

The father's first reaction was curiosity. He couldn't believe that there was someone in the world who looked like his daughter, while the grandmother was obviously unhappy.

Obviously Jiang Ancheng's reaction is more reasonable.

After leaving Yining Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Si said nothing and seemed a little depressed.

Jiang Zhan looked at her and said, "Fourth sister, why do you look worried?"

Jiang Si was not going to let his brother know about these messy things, so he smiled and said, "No."

"Then why are you so listless?"

"I'm a little tired. After all, I just came back yesterday."

Jiang Zhan felt quite guilty: "It's all my fault that I got Fourth Sister into trouble——"

Jiang Sibai glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about, second brother? By the way, didn't you tell the emperor about the conspiracy against you?"

Jiang Zhan's face straightened: "The prince and I have our own plans for this matter, so don't worry about it, fourth sister. You are very tired recently, just spend time with my little niece."

Have your own plans?

Jiang Si smiled and shook his head.

Well, let them have their own plans. From her point of view, the second brother might have been fooled by A-Jian again.

Jiang Zhan sent Jiang Si to the gate of the palace, and then went to the Dongping Marquis's mansion.

The doorman hurriedly opened the door for Jiang Si: "Princess, you are back."

"Where is the prince?" Jiang Si asked casually.

"The prince is meeting guests in the front hall."

Jiang Si paused and looked at the disciple.

The servant bowed and said with a smile: "The princes of Qi, Lu, Shu, and Xiang are here."

Jiang Si raised his eyebrow.

Except for the King of Qin, several princes were present.

She was not a timid woman from a small family. Since she had met a guest, it was her duty as the hostess to greet him. Jiang Si walked to the front hall.

The waiter guarding the door saw Jiang Si coming and hurriedly reported: "My Lord, the princess is here."

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the door.

The embroidered curtain had been lifted by the waiter, and a slim woman walked in.

Jiang Si had just traveled south and pretended to be a saint. The delicate temperament that had been nurtured in the greenhouse had undergone subtle changes, and some of the unrestrained nature of the women from southern Xinjiang had been incorporated into her. She looked inexplicably different.

As a result, everyone forgot to look away for a moment.

Yu Jin slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table with a stern face, making a sound.

The sound immediately broke the silence in the hall, and several princes came to greet Jiang Si.

Jiang Si smiled and returned the gift, then said to Yu Jin, "Prince, please sit with the other princes. I'll go to the back and take a look."

"Go ahead."

When Jiang Si was in the hall, Yu Jin still had a smile on his face, but as soon as she left, he clapped his hands on the table and the smile disappeared immediately.

King Lu asked hurriedly, "Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?"

Why are you banging the table for no reason? Is it a signal for a fight?

Thinking of this, King Lu was delighted.

Ever since the death of the deposed crown prince, the fourth brother has been pretending to be a fool who doesn't want to fight with the world all day long. The sixth brother is also a mean guy. Anyway, there is no chance of seeing them making trouble. It is the seventh brother who is considerate and this created an opportunity.

It would be better to have a group fight, but if the fight gets too big, report it to father and have these guys demoted to princes. That way no one will laugh at anyone else.

The King of Shu twitched his mouth at the King of Lu's eagerness to try.

Lao Wu is trying to start a fight? Humph, don't even think about it.

He and the fourth brother have the greatest chance now. If they act recklessly at this time, they will be kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Seventh brother's wife is so sincere to you that even the Bodhisattva was moved. I came here today to ask you which Bodhisattva your sister-in-law worships, so that I can set up a small Buddhist temple in the palace for your sixth sister-in-law to worship as well."

The King of Shu stated his intention, and the others nodded.

Yu Jin finally calmed down and said nonchalantly, "You still believe in this? Is it really that magical?"

Prince Lu wiped his face and said, "Seventh brother, hasn't your sister-in-law told you yet?"

"What?" Yu Jin looked confused.

Of course he already knew that Asi had sneaked away under the pretext of praying behind closed doors, but it was quite refreshing to hear from these guys that Asi loved him so deeply.

Well, they can talk more about these.

As expected, the King of Lu mentioned Jiang Si's prayer behind closed doors: "In order to pray for my seventh brother, my seventh brother's wife didn't even attend the New Year's reunion dinner. Some people even said where my seventh brother's wife was... I never expected that not only did my seventh brother come back safely, but the prince of Dongping, who everyone thought had died in the battle, also came back alive."

If he had known that praying was so effective, he would have asked his wife to build a small Buddhist temple so that she could chant some sutras when she had nothing to do. Who knows, his title might be restored.

The others nodded in agreement.

Although Jiang Zhan just returned today, the news had already spread like wildfire, otherwise they would not have come to Prince Yan's Mansion.

It's not a good idea to go directly to the Dongping Marquis's mansion to watch, so it would be a good idea to ask the seventh brother about the situation.

King Lu suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "If it was just this one thing, I wouldn't take it seriously——"

Yu Jin's eyes flickered: "Oh, is there anything else?"

The Prince of Qi had been drinking his tea in silence, but when he heard this his face started to turn dark.

As expected, Prince Qi's premonition was fulfilled. Prince Lu glanced at him and said, "Not long ago, my seventh brother's wife and my fourth sister-in-law went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. On the way back, their horses got scared. My fourth sister-in-law almost fell off the cliff. She managed to survive but was too frightened to see anyone. Guess what happened?"

As the King of Qi turned pale, Yu Jin asked slowly, "What's going on?"

King Lu slapped his thigh and said, "Seventh brother's wife is fine. If this isn't the blessing of the Bodhisattva, what else could it be?"

Ever since Prince Jin and the Crown Prince met with misfortunes one after another, Prince Shu's biggest rival has been Prince Qi. He was happy to cause trouble for his rival, so he said with a smile, "They all say that it's because Seventh Brother's wife was sincere and donated 1,800 taels of incense money to Baiyun Temple, while Fourth Sister-in-law only donated 400 taels—"

The King of Qi could no longer bear it and said, "Sixth brother, do you believe these nonsense?"

The King of Shu said in a serious tone: "My younger brother believes it. Fifth brother, do you believe it?"

Prince Lu shook his head and said honestly, "I choose to believe. For example, if my seventh brother's wife prays to Buddha for something in the future, I will definitely believe. As for others, it depends on the situation."

The King of Xiang was originally on good terms with the King of Qi, but when he heard what the King of Lu said, he couldn't help but nod.

In fact, he kind of believed it...

Yu Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her tone was inaudible: "Oh, Fourth Sister-in-law also asked my wife to go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense?"
