Chapter 144 (1/2)

One night later, nothing was done. I wanted to be Xiao Shao, but I didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary. But at least the relationship between them was a step closer. However, when they opened the door the next morning, they both looked cold, and there was no such emotion as shyness that everyone expected.

Everyone knows that they have made mistakes, so they should be punished.

After Xiao Shao left, Jiang Ruan sent the crowd to sit at his desk and pulled out a stack of books with a rough map of Southern Xinjiang to Tianjin. South Xinjiang is in the south of Dajin Dynasty. Across a river is Tianjin kingdom. Xiao Shao came back from injury outside Beijing the night before yesterday. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Ruan felt that he had nothing to do with the south of Tianjin. He thought deeply that there might be something wrong with the battlefield.

However, after all, she had no way to go to the battlefield. Since the Tianjin counterattack was successful in the capital, Jiang Xinzhi no longer sent letters back home. The war situation was generally tight. But with Jiang Xinzhi's temperament, if he doesn't worry about her, he will pretend that everything is OK. Now that I haven't even sent a letter from my family, I'm afraid the war is already very fierce.

Jiang Ruan frowned. The state of Jin was ready to move. If the imperial court could send more reinforcements, it should be able to solve the problem.

But now the Zhao family's military power is only 200000, and there are still people in Beijing. The rest of the generals were either privately captured by the eighth prince or became Xuanhua. Xuanli would not have sent reinforcements obediently. Even if the Emperor gave an imperial edict, it was inevitable that Xuanli would do something in it. Jiang Xinzhi is now a sweet cake. With Xuanli's temperament, if he can't use it, he must abandon it and kill it.

Now if Jiang Xinzhi is really in prison, Xuanli is afraid that he will fall into the well.

Jiang Ruan stood up, pondered for a while, and said, ”I want to go into the palace.”

……

In the imperial study, the emperor put down his letter paper and knocked on the desk in front of him. After a while, he looked up at the young man in front of him: ”ah Shao, do you want to send troops?”

Xiao Shao is silent.

”The mother won't agree.” The emperor said, ”in those days...”

”I've forgotten.” Xiao Shao interrupted him: ”the emperor does not have to mention.”

”Well,” the emperor said, ”let's not mention this. I heard that you and Princess Hong'an were very close. The night before yesterday, you were injured and rested in Princess Hong'an's courtyard?”

”The emperor knows everything. There's no need to ask Wei Chen again.”

The emperor said sternly: ”she's the Jiang family!”

”So what?”

”Do you really like her?” The emperor was a little excited. Seeing this, Li Gonggong came over and patted him on the back. The emperor waved Li Gonggong's hand: ”I know you have your own ideas, but Jiang Ruan can't do it.”

”Why?” Xiao Shao asked.

”Why.” The emperor repeated, ”you know better than I who Jiang Quan is.”

”She is also Zhao Guang's granddaughter.” Xiao Shao reminds me.

”So what!” The emperor said angrily, ”ah Shao, you can't tolerate any stain in your life. Princess Hong'an doesn't deserve you. I don't know anything. That woman has a deep mind. How can she raise her eyebrows with you? Moreover, although Zhao Guang had military power, he was too straightforward, and Jiang Quan was a poisonous insect. If you are with her, you will not only get no help, but also drag you down the muddy water. I've got a good idea. Governor Binhai Yao's age is similar to yours, and he's very proficient in military and cultural strategies. The forces behind Miss Yao can also help you and match you best. ”

”Your Majesty is too worried.” Xiao Shao's tone was cold: ”I have my own opinions about my marriage, and I don't need your Majesty's trouble.”

”You --” the emperor seemed to be very insistent on this matter, and said coldly, ”if I want you to marry Miss Yao, I will marry you tomorrow. How about you?”

Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: ”that minister had no choice but to resist the order and refuse to marry, and his head fell to the ground.”

The emperor coughed again. Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Shao said, ”the southern Xinjiang is in a hurry to be in power. Your majesty doesn't have to concentrate on the trivial matters of the minister. As for Miss Yao...” The long dark eyes are deep and cold, and the tone is plain: ”if your majesty gives you a marriage, it's not to let down a life.”

Then he left without looking back.

Mr. Li held the crumbling emperor. He took out a small porcelain vase from his arms and poured out two pills for the emperor to swallow. The emperor's face was better. But his expression was a little rusty, and he sighed: ”he disobeyed me for that girl.”

”Your Majesty.” Mr. Li Wenyan advised: ”you have seen the temperament of Mr. Xiao since you were a child. What you have decided is that you can't get nine cows back. Your majesty has just said that. Lord Xiao must be unhappy in his heart. He spoke in a more blunt tone, but his mind is not beside him. ”

”Of course I know he's not different.” The emperor pressed his forehead and heart wearily: ”I think about him everywhere. Miss Yao is knowledgeable and reasonable. She came from all walks of life, and I have seen her with my own eyes. It's wonderful. If governor Yao becomes the assistant of a Shao, it will be much easier in the future. I've paved the way for him, but he won't go my way. ”

”Lord Xiao is still a young man after all.” Li Gonggong advised: ”maybe the princess and he really have different friendship. Lord Xiao attaches great importance to friendship and righteousness, and he is not a follower.”

”There is a shortcut, but the most difficult one.” The emperor snorted coldly: ”Jiang Ruan is really a smooth woman. I can see clearly that she has a deep heart, but her temperament is very cold. Ah Shao's temperament is very cold. How can such a woman live well? Jiang Xinzhi's two brothers and sisters have their own ideas and are not easy to control. Especially if Jiang Xinzhi has a different mind, the world will not be in chaos. ”Li Gonggong didn't know how to comfort him. He knew that Xiao Shao was a disaster in the emperor's heart. The emperor was wise and resolute in other matters, but when it came to Xiao Shao, he couldn't see the situation clearly. How can Xiao Shao be manipulated by others for his temperament? Now that he has made that remark, if the emperor really ignores the marriage, I'm afraid the next day the Yao family's gold will disappear in the world. What Xiao Shao did was something that father-in-law Li had seen. At that time, the Yao family and the royal family turned against each other, which was a major disaster.

The emperor sighed: ”forget it, we'll discuss it later.” From the beginning, he intuitively disliked Jiang Ruan. It's strange to say, but people in high positions are especially sensitive in some ways. For example, every time Jiang Ruan talked to him, although he didn't see much, he always seemed to feel a touch of resentment and hatred. The feeling was very weak. The emperor noticed that he was not used to Jiang Ruan. In his opinion, Princess Yuanrong is the most noble princess in the world. She is gentle, considerate and considerate. But at the beginning, empress Yide insisted that Jiang Ruan was somewhat similar to Princess Yuanrong, but in fact, from what happened to Princess Chen Guifei, it can be seen that Jiang Ruan did not appear gentle and magnanimous on the surface, on the contrary, her nature was very stingy, but she just hid it deeply. After knowing that Xiao Shao had an unusual relationship with her, the emperor sent people to investigate the things that Jiang Ruan had gone through. The more he went on, the deeper he felt that Jiang Ruan's city was.

The emperor did not allow Fang, a dangerous man, to be around Xiao Shao. He didn't know why he didn't like Jiang Ruan. I'm afraid it's just the hatred he owed in his last life. There are many things in the world that can't be explained clearly.

……

The conversation between the emperor and Xiao Shao was like the Dragon birthday incense burning in the imperial study, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Jiang Ruan met empress Yide, talked with her for a while, and went back to the Princess Palace with Tianzhu.

Fang went to the door, but met an acquaintance, the fourth Prince xuanlang.

Xuanlang is the fourth prince, but he is wearing a half new dark brown brocade. He only has a jade pendant on his waist to decorate his whole body, which is very simple. However, in the eyes of those who have a heart, I'm afraid they will just feel that this is just a prince who is not in favor. Seeing Jiang Ruan, the fourth prince came forward and made a bow: ”princess.”

Xuan Lang seems to be used to flattering others on weekdays, with a trace of imperceptible humility in his tone. Listening to these words in Jiang Ruan's ears, he felt like a hundred percent of Jiang Dan. But on his face, he replied with a smile: ”Your Highness.”

This attitude made xuanlang's eyes flashed a little hurt, but it was fleeting. He said with a smile: ”I heard that the war in Tianjin was tense, and I thought that the princess must be very worried. Now that the princess is in a good mood, I can rest assured. ”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid that he would ask, but that he would not ask. If it's true, the affairs of Tianjin state have something to do with Xuanli. Isn't it that xuanlang deliberately ”bumps into her” to test her attitude? At the same time, she also wanted to see what ideas these people were fighting and what they were testing?

”How could it be all right.” She sighed a little, her eyes turned to dim, and her tone was a little melancholy: ”big brother killed the enemy at the border, but I enjoyed the safe and stable life with ease. At the moment, the war is tense, and my elder brother has not sent a letter home for a long time. Whenever I think of this place, I feel very uneasy. ”

Xuan Lang's eyes flashed, and he carefully observed Jiang Ruan's face. Seeing that she didn't look like a hypocrite, he comforted her and said, ”deputy general Jiang Ji has his own appearance, and he is also a natural God of war. That day, the state of Jin was just a tiny place. How could it win? Don't worry, princess. Your brother will come back in triumph. ”

Jiang Ruan laughed: ”thank you for your comfort.” It's just that the smile is a little bit reluctant.

Xuan Lang shook his head and said, ”I've heard from my father, but now the war is a little tense. Although Tianjin is a tiny country, it has excellent smelting technology and sharp sword and shield. Plus the tactical cunning, ah... ”

On hearing xuanlang's words, Jiang Ruan's expression changed again and reluctantly said, ”what your highness said is true.”

Her uneasy appearance fell in xuanlang's eyes. Xuanlang had more confidence and said unintentionally: ”if only general Wu could send troops.”

”General Wu?” Jiang Ruan was puzzled.
