Chapter 170 (1/2)

Ten days later, Xiao Shao led 100000 royal guards to Tianjin. There are also general Zhao and the three sons of the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family's army went to Xirong. Recently, Xirong people have been in trouble at the border, so it's hard to avoid other thoughts. The emperor's mind is elusive. The emperor's intention of sending the Zhao family out at this time is not known. Now there are only Zhao Yi, Zhao Yulong and Zhao Feizhou in the Zhao family. They can't make waves, but their influence is weak. If someone drops stones on the Zhao family at this time, the Zhao family will be worried.

However, no one dares to disobey the emperor's will. The Zhao family is loyal and courageous, and there is no reason to refuse. On that day, he left the city with the royal guards led by Xiao Shao.

The king of Jin Ying is in charge of the battle, but there is a fiancee to be married in the room. According to the custom of the great Jin Dynasty, unmarried women can live in the future husband's house when their husband goes to war. The Empress Dowager pitied Princess Hong'an and gave her a special permission to live in Jinying palace.

And Hongan princess's family Shangshu house, and suffered several accidents. First, Jiang Shangshu injured his aunt by mistake. Finally, she hurt her body and left soon. Later, the lost second young lady was found. She had been kidnapped by mountain bandits. The second young lady killed herself to protect her innocence. Although Jiang Su Su Su's reputation was not very good when he was alive, death can forgive everything, and people are always very tolerant of beauty.

The most shocking thing was that the first lady of the Jiang family fell ill for a long time and finally died. The first lady Xia's family did not wait three months for another distant cousin, Jiang Fu, to welcome a new lady.

Originally, people thought that after the death of doctor Jiang, the last point of contact between the Jiang family and the Xia family was broken. They never thought that the Xia family had personally sent a new lady over. The marriage between the Xia family and the Jiang family was maintained, and many onlookers suddenly fell for nothing.

However, although the relationship between Xia Yan and Jiang's family did not break, Jiang Shangshu was criticized by the world. In particular, the imperial censor's impeachment decision flew all the way to the emperor's desk, accusing him of marrying a new man before his bones were dead. It was not the practice of a sentimental person.

For so many years, the Chiang family has been standing in the imperial court and has a reputation for honesty among the people. Now, it has been a little bit corrupted. Now, Chiang's practice of marrying a new wife has lost even his last bit of good reputation. From then on, when people talk about Shangshu mansion, they are no longer the honest and clean family, but just a faint minister who is restless in his inner house.

These changes are infiltrating into the environment bit by bit. Look, it doesn't attract people's attention. Even the owner's family doesn't seem to realize this. However, the dike of thousands of miles was destroyed in the ant nest. All the seemingly casual little things will eventually lead to a series of events. Now, it's just the beginning.

If there is anything to be happy about in the capital, it is that the former structure of the harem has now been completely disrupted, the position of the three imperial concubines is vacant, and a new group of beautiful girls are gradually promoted. A few of them are hot now.

These three people are Wang lian'er, the first young lady of the Hanlin family, mu Xirou, the common daughter of Yingwu Marquis's family, and Jiang Dan, the fourth young lady of the Jiang family.

When the emperor's foundation was not stable, the women he trusted were related to the power and status behind him, representing the power of a certain family. When the emperor has become great and nothing can shake his country and status, he will no longer trust those women with prominent family background. On the contrary, the emperor will choose those women who have no foundation or background as his favorite, because they are weak and helpless, and can't lift any storm. Only by relying on the emperor's favor can they survive in the palace. Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious. Only such a woman is completely harmless and will not have a different mind.

These people are either empty airs and no real power in their families, or they are just little common women, and they are not valued by their families. So for the emperor, it is the kind of people who have no threat. And these three people really stand out among many beautiful girls. Wang lian'er is the most poetic, is the emperor's Jieyu flower, gentle and graceful character, like the south of the Yangtze River in the rain with an umbrella and the beautiful woman, and the original Princess Chen is somewhat similar.

Mu Xirou looks the best, just like the orchid blooming in the valley. She is a little too cold tempered, and she is just as indifferent to the emperor. But it was this cool and light appearance that made the emperor interested most. He was now a famous cold beauty in the palace.

Among the three, Jiang Dan's appearance is the least outstanding, and his temperament is not like a gentle explanation. It was a bit of a coincidence that she met the emperor. At night, she prayed to the moon in front of the moon in the courtyard. Every word she prayed for the safety and prosperity of her family, but her words were simple. The emperor was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, but now he seldom saw such a simple and innocent woman. He concealed her identity and talked with her all night. He felt that the woman was more and more bright. The next day, he taught people to send her the imperial edict of promotion.

Now these three people all jump from the little pretty girl to become four grade beauties, which is really a step up to heaven for the common girl. At present, Wang lian'er is the most favorite. The emperor's last interest is mu Xirou. After Jiang Dan was promoted, she was not summoned by the emperor, but she didn't feel discouraged at all. She was still very happy. All the servants in Jiang Dan's palace were anxious, hoping that their master would be favored. They urged her to think of a way to see the emperor again, so as not to be spoiled. But Jiang Dan only did not know what to do, and was still busy with his own affairs every day. He lived a leisurely life. All the palace people were worried.On this day, Jiang Dan was enjoying the flowers in the garden of the palace. Maybe she was tired of watching them, so she went to the pavilion and sat down to have a rest. She seemed to feel a little tired. Suddenly she got excited, so she asked her servants to pick up some fallen flowers here and save them. Then she saw if she could collect some dew in the morning and brew Baihua wine by herself. Xu felt that he couldn't do it by himself, so he just stood up with his skirt and got into the palace.

She looked for joy, but did not find that at the other end of the garden, someone was standing far away, staring at her movements.

Jiang Chao lowered his head and said to Xuanli standing in front of him, ”Your Highness, do you really think it's her?” He hesitated: ”if your highness doesn't choose another person, Jiang Dan is. It's too risky to use her. ”

Xuan Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, ”Oh? What do you think of her when you say adventure? ”

Jiang Chao thought about it, as if he was trying to recall things related to Jiang Dan, but he had a weak relationship with the four younger sisters, and could not think of anything. A moment later, he shook his head and said, ”my fourth sister, who was born of a concubine's family, has been raised by my wife since childhood, and she is very cowardly. On weekdays, even if she speaks loudly in the house, she will be scared. It's really useless. ” After a pause, he said: ”and it's not very smart. How can your highness choose her to be our man?”

Xuanli shook his head: ”Jiang Chao, do you know why you have been with me for so long, and why you still can't reach a better position repeatedly, and why you can't firmly grasp every opportunity I give you? ”Anti religion gives others the first chance?”

Jiang Chao's heart was awe inspiring, and he said, ”I beg your Highness's advice!”

”You are cruel enough, and you have means to do things. Unfortunately, you are too conceited.” Xuanli shook his head: ”you never seriously observe the people around you, so that you underestimate them. For example, now you look down on Jiang Dan. ”

”Your Highness, I don't understand.” Jiang Chao said: ”even if my fourth sister becomes a beauty in the palace, it's just that my father and herself are lucky. But she has no ambition. Doesn't your highness say that people who have no ambition can't be of great use? My fourth sister, who had the emperor's will to be promoted, didn't know how to fight for it. She wasted a good time, so that now among the three beauties, Wang lianer and mu Xirou are more favored than her. ”

Xuanli shook his head: ”this is your mistake. You can only see that Jiang Shangshu sent Jiang Dan to the palace, but you can't see how much power Jiang Dan played in it? Do you think that the encounter between Jiang Dan and his father was just a coincidence, just like what others have said, because Jiang Dan was lucky? ”

Jiang Chao didn't speak. He didn't doubt it, but Jiang Dan was so useless in his heart that he couldn't doubt her at all. With Jiang Dan's temperament and skill, how can he calculate the king of a country?

”You see, that's what you're not.” Xuanli sighed: ”I think Jiang Shangshu is very good at raising his daughter. The eldest and fourth ladies of the Jiang family are one in a million.” He looked at Jiang Chao with a smile but not a smile: ”you, the fourth sister, are a poisonous snake. I'm afraid you know how to endure and Hibernate better than you. You see -- ”he nodded to Jiang Dan.

Jiang Chao followed his eyes and saw that Jiang Dan was laughing with all the maids in the palace. He looked at the beauty's airs in the palace. Without airs, he moved in his heart and saw a bright yellow figure slowly coming behind Jiang Dan.

It's the emperor.

Today, the Emperor just passed by the garden at random, but he heard a woman's laughter from a long distance. The sound was as clear as a silver bell, and it seemed that he could be infected by the happiness. His heart read a move, then specially Rao a circle to come over, want to see which one.
