And he is his confidant, and sometimes he will tell him some of his plans.
Therefore, today he just said one sentence according to what he did before.
Why did he want to emphasize such a sentence when he got to Jiang Mansion?
Could it be that if he really married the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, did he really plan to not rely on his future father-in-law?
But is this possible?
Of course, no matter what his master thinks, there seems to be one more thing he shouldn't say in the future.
Lu Zhizhang seemed to feel that it was safe here, and then he took out the letter he just received from the maid from his arms. After reading the letter, his calculating eyes changed. Zhong Jing also revealed an imperceptible softness.
He stroked the paper carefully as if he was touching his lover's skin.
At that time, in Qinglan Courtyard.
Jiang Nianjiao, who was supposed to be bedridden, was now wearing plain clothes and clearly in high spirits, while Qi Peipei, who had not had much contact with Jiang Nianjiao, was just sitting in Jiang Nianjiao's room at the moment.
However, although the two of them were in the same room, they did not exchange much greetings. Qi Peipei only looked at the door with concern from time to time.
Until a maid came back with a letter in her hand and said loudly, "Miss, Mr. Lu, you have replied!"
Seeing the letter held in the maid's hand, Qi Peipei was naturally happy.
She could no longer hold back and quickly took the envelope from the maid's hand. She just opened the letter casually.
After not wanting to open it, Qi Peipei only read the contents of the letter for a moment, and her original expression of joy turned into loneliness. She glanced at Jiang Nianjiao carefully.
Jiang Nianjiao was concentrating on calculating the ledger at the moment.
The cold face looked like he was not even remotely affectionate.
Although she knew from the chrysanthemum banquet that the two were entangled that Jiang Nianjiao had no interest in Lu Zhizhang, and even disliked him.
But on the other hand, she couldn't help but want to test Jiang Nianjiao's determination again.
After all, Lu Zhizhang was one of the best in Dayong in terms of talent, learning and appearance.
In the past, Jiang Nianjiao, as the future Princess Jin, could say that she had such a jewel as Prince Jin in front of her and looked down on other men. But now that something has happened to Prince Jin, and Lu Zhizhang is still infatuated with her, how can she still treat her like a jewel? Lu Zhizhang didn't care.
Thinking of this, Qi Peipei just sent the letter to Jiang Nianjiao's desk, which anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance who it was addressed to.
"Miss Jiang, I think you'd better read the contents of the letter." Qi Peipei said softly.
Jiang Nianjiao originally didn't want to talk to Qi Peipei, but when she heard this, she finally put her hand on the letter. Just when Qi Peipei thought she would take a look at the content of the letter, Jiang Nianjiao took a deep look at Qi Peipei.
She said coldly, "Miss Qi, I thought you were a smart person. Since you can discuss cooperation with me directly, you must be very sure that I will help you."
"You suddenly showed me this letter now? Do you not believe me? Or do you not believe yourself?"
Qi Peipei just wanted to test Jiang Nianjiao's feelings again, but she didn't expect that her little thoughts would be seen through with just one glance.
Jiang Nianjiao continued, "If you can't believe it, our cooperation can be suspended immediately."
"If we can still cooperate, what you should consider is not whether I will interfere with it. After all, our interests are the same. What you should really consider is how to deal with Lu Zhizhang so that he can have more contact with you."
"And I think I still need to remind you of something. Since you have chosen this method, you shouldn't have too many emotional expectations for him. As long as you don't have expectations, you won't be too disappointed."
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao didn't mean to embarrass Qi Peipei anymore. She just pushed the letter back into Qi Peipei's hand.
Although Jiang Nianjiao's words were not pleasant, some of her views were even very sharp.
But Qi Peipei also knew that what she said was correct.
It started with my determination to marry Lu Zhizhang no matter what the means. In fact, she shouldn't have any expectations for Lu Zhizhang's relationship.
No one likes a person who uses despicable means in relationships, and no one likes being plotted against.
And maybe what I want is to marry the person I like. As for whether that person likes me or not, although it may be important, I shouldn't be too greedy if she doesn't exist.
After all, in marriage, most of the time you just make do with it. Even if you marry someone you don't love, can you find someone who loves you if you compromise?
She didn't know what other couples were like, but she at least knew that she and Du Zechi actually disliked each other.
Du Zechi didn't like her appearance, and she didn't like Du Zechi's talent.
I hate getting married in the future.
It's better to find a balance between what you like and the people who like you.
Even if the former does nothing, just standing there is enough for him to be happy.
Although the latter may not like him, if he could, who wouldn't like the feeling of being valued and held in someone's hands.
Although both have their own pros and cons, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than being together with people who hate each other.
After thinking about this, Qi Peipei said no more. After all, she was using Jiang Nianjiao's identity to communicate with Lu Zhizhang.
As for other things, she decided not to think too much about it.
After figuring this out, Qi Peipei resumed contact with Lu Zhizhang.
As the relationship between the two of them became more and more harmonious in the letter, news of the death of Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen slowly spread, and it was no longer a secret.
Because Zhao Yanzhen died in the flames, only his body was not recovered for a while. All Emperor Yong could do was to build a tomb for him.
But even so, Emperor Yong was still extremely sad about this.
Although Jiang Nianjiao had not officially married into the palace, they had a marriage decree at that time.
Therefore, as the fiancée of King Jin, Jiang Nianjiao went to attend Zhao Yanzhen's funeral.
The place where Zhao Yanzhen died was naturally placed in the original Jin Prince's Mansion that had been completed.
The entire palace of Prince Jin is completely white.
When Jiang Nianjiao got off the car, the first thing she saw was the mahogany plaque in front of the imposing palace. On the plaque were written the three characters "Prince Jin's Palace".
Now that the Jin Prince's Mansion has finally been completed, Zhao Yanzhen has never lived in this mansion for even one day.
Even the coffin contained only his past clothes. As for his corpse, it may still be thousands of miles away, buried in an unknown place with the soldiers who were also buried in Yunzhou, and could not return home.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao felt sad.
She was worried that something would happen to Zhao Yanzhen, and she also thought about asking for an amulet for him, but she just didn't want her to be prepared for a hidden attack, but she didn't expect that he would end up dead in the fire company.
After entering the lobby, people came to express their condolences one by one. Jiang Nianjiao was not officially admitted to the palace after all, so the only people who could receive these condolences on behalf of Prince Jin's palace were Zhao Yanzhen's original eunuchs and chief eunuchs.
Inside and outside the main hall, hundreds of monks were beating wooden fish to pray for the salvation of the deceased.
In fact, these days, Jiang Nianjiao has rarely thought about Zhao Yanzhen. After all, they are not the same travelers.
But now that she was here, perhaps due to the depressing atmosphere, she felt that her heart was throbbing with pain.
After paying homage to Zhao Yanzhen, the maid beside Jiang Nianjiao only gently helped Jiang Nianjiao stand up.
She didn't want to stay here too long. She was just afraid that if she stayed for a while longer, she would understand more clearly that Zhao Yanzhen was indeed dead now.
But when she was about to turn around and leave, a strange father-in-law who was standing by suddenly said to Jiang Nianjiao, "Miss Jiang, I'm here to invite you."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
After all, she didn't see Emperor Yong when she got out of the car. She originally thought that Emperor Yong would probably not come to attend her son's funeral, but now he not only came, but it seemed that he had been here for a long time.
Fortunately, after the father-in-law said this, he stopped talking and silently led Jiang Nianjiao into the inner court of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Emperor Yong is not wearing the dragon robe of the past today, and he is not as sharp as before.
. He was dressed in home clothes and looked like an ordinary old man who had just lost his son.
At this time, everyone in the house was busy moving boxes of old things out. When they were moving to the last box, Emperor Yong suddenly said, "Wait a minute, you can leave this box here first."
Those busy people naturally put down the last storage box after hearing this.
There are many gadgets in the storage box, including riding whips, jade horses, and bows and arrows.
These things were once given to him by Emperor Yong, and almost all of them, from small to large, were kept intact in a box.
It would be impossible for Emperor Yong not to feel sad when he saw these things.
Although he did have the intention to turn his son into a chess player.
But his love for Zhao Yanzhen cannot be said to be completely adulterated. After all, it is still his flesh and blood. Moreover, his nature is indeed lovable, and he has had an ice-snow and intelligent temperament since he was a child.
Therefore, he also thought about it in the future, but he never expected that something would happen to his son despite all his calculations.
He looked through those things himself, and then took out a very ornately decorated small wooden sword.
It was a birthday gift that Zhao Yanzhen asked for when he was eight years old. At that time, a civil strife had just been put down in the palace. When the civil strife broke out, Zhao Yanzhen was reciting the lessons taught to him by his teacher that day. Because the incident happened suddenly, he was unprepared, and in order to protect Zhao Yanzhen, he only suffered a cut on his arm. Fortunately, the palace guards responded in time. After they cut their own arms, they killed the assassin on the spot.
He originally thought that most of the children who saw this scene would be frightened.
Unexpectedly, instead of being scared, the child only asked me to let him practice martial arts on his birthday soon.
