Moreover, Qiu Wan's voice seemed a little not very similar at the moment.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but look at Jiang Nianjiao again, and her tone was also full of inquiry, "Miss Jiang's voice seems to be a little different from before."
There was only a layer of curtain between the two of them, so Jiang Nianjiao was naturally aware of Mrs. Chen's gaze and the probing meaning behind her words. She could not help but secretly curse Zhao Yanzhen in her heart, who was following her uncle in front.
What else can you say to protect yourself? His mother's family was also mysterious and refused to tell him. As a result, she is really overwhelmed now.
However, Jiang Nianjiao complained in her heart, but she did not forget to deal with Mrs. Chen, "It is not autumn now, and the temperature difference is unpredictable. I must have some symptoms of a cold. My throat has been like this since yesterday. That’s it.”
When Jiang Nianjiao said this, her tone was also generous.
And maybe it's because her confident look is really quite impressive.
Therefore, Mrs. Chen's wife was suspicious, but she didn't think deeply about it.
Anyway, as long as Zhao Yanzhen comes here this time, it will be fine. As for whether Qiu Wan comes or not, it doesn't matter.
And Jiang Nianjiao was also afraid that these women would inevitably take a few steps forward if they asked any more questions.
Just at this time, Zhao Yanzhen also turned around. The culprit smiled very cutely at this moment. He said in a sweet voice, "Sister Qiu Wan, let's go see my grandfather together first."
Seeing him turn around, Jiang Nianjiao nodded, and then walked a few steps faster.
I have to say that Qiu Wan is not easy to act at all. She is easily suspected by others and has to be guarded at all times. Even walking around is a palace rule. If it hadn't been for the nanny whose aunt had given her some etiquette lessons a while ago, she would have been even more suspicious now.
Fortunately, this time Zhao Yanzhen finally turned around and waited for her.
After walking to Zhao Yanzhen's side, she became even more determined to follow Zhao Yanzhen closely.
When walking from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, the population of Chen Mansion seems to be a bit extra large today.
But Jiang Nianjiao didn't have time to explore it in detail, because Jiang Nianjiao just wanted to lie down on the ground.
The Chen family is really big. The area it covers is almost as big as a small palace.
And it is very hard to walk with it.
Fortunately, when they gritted their teeth and followed the great Sima who was said to be the legendary supporter of the current Emperor Yong's ascension to the throne, the number of people following him gradually decreased. When they entered the inner room, they followed him in. Except for the uncle of the Chen family, Zhao Yanzhen, and himself, the others could only wait outside the door.
From what the uncle of the Chen family explained, it seemed that the big Sima needed to rest, so it was not easy to make a fuss in the house.
From the outer courtyard of the Chen family to the courtyard of the Great Sima, everything seemed to be two completely different styles. The outer courtyard is full of carved beams and painted buildings, which are exquisite, luxurious and interesting.
However, the courtyard of the old man of the Chen family is simple and conservative, with nothing fancy at all. The inner room looked even more primitive.
At this time, in the inner room, a skinny old man with white beard and hair was walking down from the bed supported by a maid.
However, the old man was even thinner, but he still seemed to be in good spirits, especially his eagle eyes that seemed to make people look somewhat hale and hearty.
When the uncle of the Chen family saw the old man coming out, he naturally rushed over to help him.
However, the old man only pushed him aside, and then bowed his head to Zhao Yanzhen.
How dare Zhao Yanzhen let his very old grandfather salute him.
He only hurriedly supported the old man slightly and said, "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be polite to our ancestors."
However, the old man of the Chen family still insisted, "The etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished. Your Highness is considerate, so I am naturally grateful. I have met His Highness the Third Highness."
After saying this, the old man insisted on saying goodbye.
Then, as if to prove that he was still in good health, he opened uncle Chen's hand again, and then walked alone back to the small flower hall indoors.
The uncle of the Chen family said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "Your grandfather is not in good spirits now, and his temper is much weirder than before. I hope your highness will not take it off." @
without
As soon as he thought of his words, the old man who insisted on walking tremblingly in front suddenly turned around and glared at Uncle Chen and said, "What are you talking about?"
The uncle of the Chen family quickly said loudly, "Dad, I didn't say anything. I just wanted to talk to His Highness the Third Prince about the recent situation."
The old man seemed to be really deaf, so he didn't say much after hearing what he said.
As soon as he sat down, he pointed at Uncle Chen who was sitting beside him and said, "You should leave first. I have something to say to His Highness the Third Highness."
Judging from the old man's tone, it seemed that he was quite disgusted with this uncle of the Chen family, and the relationship between father and son seemed to be extremely unfamiliar.
The uncle of the Chen family naturally didn't want to leave, so the old man kept staring at him.
Upon seeing this, the uncle of the Chen family had no choice but to leave the old man's yard unwillingly.
After the uncle of the Chen family left, the old man's expression became slightly calmer. He only looked at Zhao Yanzhen and seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then he said, "I wonder how the Queen is doing now?"
When Zhao Yanzhen saw the old man asking about his mother, he responded in a low voice, "The queen is in very good health. She was going to come to see you with her sons and ministers today. However, the palace is busy with affairs, so the queen was unable to make the trip. Later. When the day is free, she will definitely come over to see you."
Although Zhao Yanzhen said it tactfully, it seemed to the old man that his daughter still refused to forgive him. Therefore, the old man only looked gloomy and said, "Since she is busy, let her be busy. There is no need to take time out to see the old minister."
Zhao Yanzhen naturally noticed that the old man was in a low mood, so he just explained: "Grandpa, I misunderstood. After my mother heard that you were not well, she wanted to come to see you. I asked her not to come over today." .”
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, the old man raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yanzhen, but the old man's expression was very calm. He only looked like he was sleepy and waiting for Zhao Yanzhen's next words.
And Zhao Yanzhen didn't intend to hide anything from the old man. He just whispered, "Grandpa should know what uncle is planning now, and probably knows where the trend is, but grandpa probably doesn't know what's going on in the Chen family's outer courtyard today." How many guests have come, all of them are here for my mother and I. After I saw my grandfather today, I have to deal with them."
At this point, Zhao Yanzhen only paused for a moment, then he lowered his eyelids and said, "I am very aware of the deep love between my mother and my uncle, my brother and my sister, but as a child, I don't want my mother to be involved in this turmoil. I am If you can't persuade your mother, you can only take the wrong approach and create some small troubles in the palace to slow her down."
The old man listened to Zhao Yanzhen's words and remained silent.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but secretly glance at the old man. At this time, she saw that the big Sima just closed his eyes and looked at himself. After all, he was an old man. Could it be that he fell asleep after listening to a few words.
Just when Jiang Nianjiao wanted to remind Zhao Yanzhen that his grandfather was asleep.
The old man's eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Nianjiao. When the old man glanced at her, Jiang Nianjiao froze for a moment, wondering if she should say something.
Fortunately, Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative to introduce Jiang Nianjiao's identity without him having to ask, "This is Jiang Nianjiao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and my future princess, and the Jiang family is now my ally."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen said again, "Jiaojiao, you haven't taken off your hat yet, you have met my grandfather."
Jiang Nianjiao was a little overwhelmed at this time, but naturally she did whatever Zhao Yanzhen said.
After she saluted the old man, the old man only nodded slightly. Jiang Nianjiao couldn't tell whether the old man was satisfied or dissatisfied with her.
The old man only motioned for her to get up.
Then he turned back to Zhao Yanzhen and continued the previous topic and said, "You are right. I have told your mother a long time ago not to get involved in your uncle's affairs."
"As for your uncle, he is just blocking the car with his arms, and he is not overestimating his own abilities."
"I wonder what your plans are?" When he said this, the old man only showed an attitude of having been in a high position for a long time. Then the old man just closed his eyes in silence.
Zhao Yanzhen then continued, "I have surrendered to my father on this matter a long time ago. My father is also aware of all the things that my uncle has done. The reason why he is suppressing this matter now is only because of you." Take action."
After hearing this, the old man finally
Opening his eyes, he took a closer look at Zhao Yanzhen, and then his sharp eagle eyes seemed to show some approval: "You did a good job."
Then he just sighed again and said, "It's a pity that I'm old and can't control the situation anymore, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let this evil man do whatever he wants."
"Your uncle is spoiled by my wife, but he is only 30% ambitious with 30% ability. He only thinks that manpower can reverse God's will, but he doesn't know that the right time, place, and people are indispensable to achieve great things. If you sail against the current, sooner or later the boat will sail. Destroy people."
After saying this, the old man stood up shakily and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment, veteran minister."
After saying this, he walked towards the inner room again, and then he only took out a black box. The box only contained a stack of letters, but underneath the letter was a military talisman and a tiger seal.
Then he only handed these two things into Zhao Yanzhen's hands.
The old man then whispered, "This is what your father is afraid of from me, and it is also what he wants most. Now I have given it to you. You can give it to your father, or you can keep it for yourself."
At this time, the old man's eyes only glanced at Zhao Yanzhen's face. Although Zhao Yanzhen had no obvious expression, his eyes were obviously brighter at this moment.
"Thank you, Grandpa." He just knelt down on one knee and said thanks.
The old man just stood up and helped him up, and then said, "There's no need to thank you. People all have selfish motives. When I inherited Emperor Yongwu's will, I just wanted to support your father to ascend to the throne. However, when I hold the power alone, I always teach him." It's easy for people to lose themselves, and as long as I think about the former Crown Prince and Queen Yi, or even our Chen family, I feel uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, it's me who has caused your mother a lot of trouble throughout her life."
