Jiang Nianjiao tentatively called the system a few more times, but these calls received no answer.
Although Jiang Nianjiao had thought about killing the dog system countless times, when the dog system really disappeared, she was still a little flustered.
She still didn't know what happened when she was drunk, but now it seemed that the disappearance of the system was probably related to Zhao Yanzhen.
She had never had the same opinion with the system, but this time she rarely had the same opinion as the system when it came to dealing with Zhao Yanzhen.
After all, Zhao Yanzhen was not an easy person to get along with. At least before her death, as far as she knew, Zhao Yanzhen had obviously fallen into trouble at the beginning because of the dispute over the reserve position. No one expected that he would one day get out of that quagmire. He even single-handedly forced his eldest brother, the destined son, to step down and became the king himself.
Now with the rebirth buff. Who knows if he is ready to continue killing everyone.
Moreover, her father was also responsible for the downfall of his uncle's family.
She didn't have any big wishes when she came back to her life, but she just wanted a good outcome for herself and the people she cared about.
So she had no intention of competing with Zhao Yanzhen, and even considering the winner-takes-all principle, she also wanted to be on the winner's side.
But Zhao Yanzhen was too ruthless and ruthless, and after taking office, he did not do much to clean up the reorganized forces in the DPRK and China. For such a moody person, she was afraid that if she got too close, she would die sooner.
Therefore, Chen Jinghuai is the most promising candidate in her mind.
After all, Chen Jinghuai was absolutely loyal to Zhao Yanzhen and had no big ambitions. It can be said that Zhao Yanzhen, who was very suspicious in the later period, if there was anyone else who deserved his full trust, perhaps it was Chen Jinghuai.
If I could become Chen Jinghuai's wife in the future, I might be able to get a blessing or two.
Thinking of Chen Jinghuai, Chen Changnian couldn't help but wonder. When she went to the Chen Mansion today, she didn't even see Chen Jinghuai's face. What on earth were they hiding?
However, Jiang Nianjiao, who had no clue, was destined not to get the answer.
The night became darker and darker, and when someone entered the room again, Jiang Nianjiao thought it was finally time to eat.
She had been working hard all day today, and besides drinking a few glasses of wine, she had indeed eaten nothing. She was very hungry at this time.
So after hearing the noise, she put on her shoes and prepared to have dinner.
The person I don’t want to come is still Yao Ping.
And there was no maid serving food behind her.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Aunt Yaoping, why are you here again?"
Yaoping's face was still filled with joy, "The Lord is telling you to come over."
"Pass it to me?" Jiang Nianjiao was puzzled.
After all, she had only met once or twice with Emperor Yong, and Emperor Yong probably still didn't know who he was.
Yaoping nodded heavily.
"Your Highness came to me for what reason?" Jiang Nianjiao asked softly.
Yao Ping smiled mysteriously, "It's a good thing. You'll know when the girl gets there."
After hearing Yao Ping's words, Jiang Nianjiao could only adjust her clothes in a hurry, and then followed Yao Ping to the yard where her aunt was.
At this time, the night was dark, and the road from the side hall to the main hall of Yuxiu Palace was naturally brightly lit. When we entered the room, the main hall was even brighter than daylight.
Concubine Yuxian was sitting with Emperor Yong in front of the Arhat couch in the inner chamber, and the two were playing with each other over the black and white chess pieces.
Therefore, no one dared to disturb them. Even Jiang Nianjiao could only wait outside.
Just having to stand outside as soon as he came, Jiang Nianjiao also regretted that she didn't eat some pastries to cushion her stomach before coming over.
I am very hungry now.
Fortunately, most of the chess game in the inner room has been completed. With the black chess taking up most of the country, Emperor Yong captured several white pieces from Concubine Yuxian.
Concubine Yuxian smiled and said frankly, "Your Majesty still played a better game, and I lost."
However, Emperor Yong only looked at the chessboard and muttered, "It's not that I'm a better chess player, it's because the virtuous concubine has other things on her mind and is looking forward and backward."
Concubine Yuxian did not deny it and only said, "This is exactly what Your Majesty said."
Then she just winked at the personal attendant beside her, "Why hasn't Jiaojiao come here yet?"
The young palace attendant immediately replied, "Miss Jiang has been waiting outside the palace for half an hour, waiting for your majesty and empress to summon you."
After hearing what the palace servant said, Emperor Yong spoke first before Concubine Yuxian could speak, "Now that you're here, what are you doing standing outside? Why don't you communicate?"
Concubine Yu Xian then smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of disturbing His Majesty's interest?"
While talking, she just brought tea to Emperor Yong to moisten his mouth.
Emperor Yong was only friendly and kind and said, "They are all members of the family, why should we be so reserved? Let her come in."
Having said that, Concubine Yuxian just signaled the palace servants to invite Jiang Nianjiao into the house.
Jiang Nianjiao was able to enter the room and naturally bowed her head to say hello to Concubine Yuxian and Emperor Yong.
Fortunately, after she was sent back to Yuxiu Palace by someone arranged by Zhao Yanzhen, Concubine Yuxian ordered someone to change her clothes, so the smell of alcohol on her body had long dissipated, and she didn't look rude.
After she paid her respects, Emperor Yong ordered someone to show Jiang Nianjiao her seat, and she only sat down for a moment.
Emperor Yong suddenly said, "I heard that the queen introduced her nephew Chen Jinghuai to you?"
There was no emotion or anger in Emperor Yong's tone. If Aunt Yaoping hadn't told her that it was a good thing, she would have been so panicked at this moment.
But since it was a good thing to know, she naturally didn't panic and just replied in a deep voice, "As your Majesty said, this is indeed the case."
Emperor Yong then asked, "What do you think of Chen Jinghuai?"
Hearing Emperor Yong's question, Jiang Nianjiao naturally guessed the meaning of Emperor Yong's question, and her heart pounded with excitement.
But she didn't dare to show any of this joy on her face.
She suppressed the joy in her heart and said, "Colonel Chen is a talented person and a hero."
"So you are willing?" Emperor Yong asked again.
Jiang Nianjiao nodded shyly and only said yes lightly.
Emperor Yong knew her intention, but he did not immediately tell her the wish she expected. Instead, he only muttered: "You are the eldest daughter of Jiang Xiang. According to the etiquette, you should marry the eldest son of the same family as the first wife." Yes, although Chen Jinghuai is a hero, he is only a branch of the Chen family. If you are allowed to marry him, it will be wronged. However, the Chen family also has a son who is the same age as you. There has never been a marriage proposal. , although his military skills are not as good as those of Sanlang Chen, I heard from the Queen that his literary talent is also quite remarkable..."
Hearing Emperor Yong's words, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't listen to anything else he said.
She thought that Emperor Yong wanted to marry her to Chen Jinghuai, but she never thought that Emperor Yong actually wanted to marry her to Chen Zijiao, the eldest son of Chen's family.
How could Chen Zijiao be as decent as Emperor Yong said? He was nothing more than an embroidered pillow. I heard he was the only son in the direct family, and he was loved to no end. Not only was he weak in constitution, he refused to study hard, so he only spent time with his boudoir. Girl, friends are hanging out together.
When the old man of the Chen family passed away, the Chen family was liquidated, and this boy, who usually had no big faults, was also liquidated. There is absolutely no way to save the situation, the tree will fall and the hozen will scatter.
Thinking of her fate in the future, Jiang Nianjiao didn't care about being reserved. She just gritted her teeth and whispered, "Your Majesty, Jiaojiao is happy with Captain Chen and has no other thoughts. What's more, hasn't this dynasty already stopped following this common etiquette? If not, Your Majesty. Why do you need to arrange a spring banquet every year and let us young people get to know each other? Isn’t it true that His Majesty has the wish that lovers will eventually get married?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's bold words, before Emperor Yong could speak, Concubine Yuxian laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, please don't scare my niece. I have already told you how determined she is. "
Hearing Concubine Yu Xian's uncontrollable laughter, Jiang Nianjiao's heart jumped back into her throat, but thinking about what she just said, her face couldn't help but feel hot again.
In the eyes of others, this color seems to be the beginning of love.
Fortunately, Emperor Yong didn't care about Jiang Nianjiao's rebuttal. He only said in a deep voice, "Since it is your wish and the virtuous concubine wants to ask for it, I will approve the marriage. After some time, after I discuss it with the queen, Then I personally drafted a decree to marry him."
Jiang Nianjiao got the result she wanted, and she was naturally happy.
But thinking that after the decree of marriage was issued, she would inevitably have to return to Jiang Mansion.
And before the system leaves now, the task left for him is to improve Concubine Yuxian's favor towards Su Zhirou.
This task, which she originally thought she was not in a hurry to consider, has now become the first priority to be completed.
After all, after returning to the Chen Mansion, how could she have a chance to turn their hostility into friendship?
If she gets married in the future, she will follow Chen Jinghuai to the border, as the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid this task will be even more impossible to complete.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao's joy just now was gradually dissipated.
Fortunately, Emperor Yong allowed Jiang Nianjiao to go down after granting the marriage.
Jiang Nianjiao had a whole night to plan.
…
After several days of heavy rain, it was rare for the sky to clear up today.
Outside Yunfu Hall, the old catalpa trees along the road only have pink flowers in full bloom. Under the flower tree, Su Zhirou, who was wearing a light blue medical officer's robe, was cutting her wrist with a dagger.
There was also a white porcelain bowl under her wrist.
Seeing the blood dripping into the porcelain bowl, a palace maid who didn't know what was going on exclaimed in a low voice, "Doctor Su, what are you doing?"
Su Zhirou hissed at her, and she only whispered to the little palace maid not to wake up anyone in the room.
She whispered to the little palace maid, "You don't have to be afraid. I'm not doing anything dangerous. Isn't the poison in Your Highness's wound still lingering? I'm developing detoxifying pills, in which human blood will be used as the medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small bowl of blood gathered in the white porcelain bowl.
She quickly took the young leaves of the yellow wattle grass at her feet and asked the little palace maid to crush them for her.
After doing all this, she conveniently covered the broken leaves on her still bleeding wrist. After lightly bandaging, she looked around again and saw that no one noticed her inside or outside the palace, so she whispered to the maid, "Don't tell His Highness this matter."
Although the little maid was confused, she still nodded obediently.
When Su Zhirou and the maid left together, they did not realize that someone outside Yunfu Palace had already seen all this.
