Chapter 329: The Prince Consort
"Father, I haven't married Xiao Fusheng yet. Besides, Jiang Huai and I are friends. I haven't done anything inappropriate."
Zhan Chuyue said frankly that they didn't do anything secretly or bad.
It couldn't be that just because she married Xiao Fusheng she couldn't interact with other men. Besides, she and Xiao Fusheng were just doing a transaction, each getting what they needed.
Emperor Jingming's mind was working quickly. Yes, even before the wedding, everything could turn around.
He didn't know whether the emperors of other countries would send princesses to marry, but he was very reluctant to do so, whether it was Chu Yue or other princesses.
The Qin State doesn't need it.
If Chu Yue had not insisted on going this time, he would not have agreed to the marriage with Miao Jiang.
"Father, I have learned etiquette in the palace since I was a child and I know the rules. Please allow me to go with Jiang Huai to light the lanterns." Zhan Chuyue said flatteringly.
Emperor Jingming pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhan Chuyue saw that he was unmoved, so she pretended to be pitiful and said, "If my mother were still alive, she would definitely allow me to go."
"Don't think that I will agree if you move your mother out." Emperor Jingming said arrogantly. In fact, he had already softened his mind and even had other ideas.
He wanted to borrow Jiang Huai and keep her in Qin.
No matter how good Xiao Fusheng was to her, she would be the queen of Miaojiang in the future, and he didn't want her to go to Miaojiang.
I would rather she find a noble man.
By then, he could give the princess a mansion and let her live with her husband. At least in the capital, he could ensure that she would live a life of wealth and glory without worries.
Princess Palace!
Prince Consort!
Emperor Jingming's eyes suddenly lit up.
He could recruit Jiang Huai as his consort and let him live in the princess's mansion, so that his daughter would not be abducted.
"Father, there are no fireworks or lanterns in Miaojiang. I have to go back to Miaojiang in a few days. Can you really bear not to let your daughter set off lanterns?" Zhan Chuyue continued to pretend to be pitiful.
"Come on, I'll accompany you to release them." Emperor Jingming said seriously.
Zhan Chuyue: “…”
Do I want to let you go?
I want to be with Jiang Huaifang!
Emperor Jingming looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't bear to tease her anymore. He said coldly: "Go, go, who made me be rejected?"
Zhan Chuyue chuckled, "Thank you, father. I'll bring you a gift when I come back."
"That's better." Emperor Jingming's expression finally looked better.
"My daughter is leaving." Zhan Chuyue's heart had already flown away. After all, it was a rare opportunity to light lanterns with Jiang Huai.
Emperor Jingming looked at Qin Fu and said sternly: "You arrange two eunuchs to follow her and two guards to protect her secretly."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Qin Fu said and went to find someone.
"Father, there's no need to send anyone to follow us." Zhan Chuyue wasn't worried about her safety. She and Jiang Huai both knew kung fu anyway, and there were patrol guards everywhere on the streets tonight.
"No, I'm afraid that brat won't follow the rules, so I have to send someone to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, you can't go." Emperor Jingming said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.
He had to have someone keep an eye on him to see how Jiang Huai treated Chu Yue before he could decide on his next plan.
Zhan Chuyue: “…”
Qin Fu quickly brought four people over, two eunuchs and two guards.
Zhan Chuyue had no choice but to take them with her.
After seeing her leave, Emperor Jingming's frown relaxed. She finally looked like a girl. Since her mother passed away, she had been like a little adult.
Too mature and sensible, no longer as naive as before.
Now, I finally saw her lively appearance again.
"Tell Mu Shuangcheng to find me in Yangxin Palace." Emperor Jingming said in a deep voice. Since Lin Wei was not suitable, he naturally had to choose someone new. Mu Shuangcheng was also promoted by him.
His character was indeed good in the past, not as impetuous as Lin Wei. I hope he won't let him misjudge him!
"Yes." Qin Fu said respectfully. He felt that Lin Wei was too stupid, too utilitarian, and not in his right mind to have chosen to be close to the empress.
As the commander of the Lulin Army, doesn't he know that he has only one master?
That's the emperor!
After Mu Shuangcheng learned that the emperor had summoned him, he hurried to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you." Mu Shuangcheng bowed respectfully.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Emperor Jingming looked at him mysteriously, his eyes were sharp, cold, and full of oppression.
Mu Shuangcheng quickly said, "It's because of Commander Lin."
"He is no longer the commander." Emperor Jingming corrected.
"I am grateful for the emperor's trust. I will do my best to fulfill my duties." Mu Shuangcheng quickly expressed his attitude.
When he learned that the emperor asked him to temporarily take over Lin Wei's position, he was really surprised and couldn't believe it.
After joining the Lulin Army.
He has always been down-to-earth in his work, never fighting or competing, and only wants to fulfill his responsibilities.
Emperor Jingming stared at him and said bluntly: "I intend to remove Lin Wei. Do you know why?"
"I don't know." Mu Shuangcheng really didn't know, because he knew that Lin Wei was trained and promoted by the emperor and was his confidant.
"I don't need disloyal people. I am the only master of the Linlin Army." Emperor Jingming said clearly that he didn't want another Lin Wei to appear.
Mu Shuangcheng had no idea what was going on, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I thank the emperor for his trust, and I will not let him down."
Just because he didn't fight for things in the past doesn't mean he doesn't want to climb to a higher position.
He thought that as long as he worked hard, he would be appreciated by the emperor one day, but he never expected that this day would really come.
Given the opportunity, he will certainly do better.
Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "I hope you can keep your original intention."
Lin Wei once made this promise.
But in the end, he went astray.
"I will never forget my original intention and will be loyal to the emperor and the Qin State." Mu Shuangcheng straightened his back and spoke each word frankly and honestly.
"Okay." Emperor Jingming laughed heartily. He would give him a chance to prove himself.
…
Yongfu Palace.
Bang——
After the queen returned to her residence, she was so angry that she kept smashing things and no one could persuade her to stop. This was the first time she had suffered such a big loss since entering the palace.
Everything was planned so well.
But things went wrong everywhere.
Pang Jingyi was so scared when she heard those noises that she hid behind Zhan Qingheng. She was very glad that she did not get involved in those intrigues.
But she also knew that she was now the concubine of Prince Rui, and sooner or later, she would be dragged in.
"Mother, don't be angry anymore. Losing is nothing. We still have chances, many chances, and we will win." Zhan Yao walked up to her and held her.
The queen was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her heart was filled with rage and hatred.
Jiang Zhiyan stepped forward and said softly, "Mother, the Fifth Princess is right. If you get angry and make yourself sick, Jiang Nanjiao and the others will only be more proud."
The queen looked at her, her face darkened, and she picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at her.
Jiang Zhiyan looked at the flying teacup and her pupils shrank. She wanted to hide, but she knew she couldn't and could only accept the Queen's anger.
Bang——
The teacup flew away and broke into pieces.
Jiang Zhiyan couldn't help shivering, and all the hairs on her body stood up.
