The empress also talked about some things about the temple, but she didn't go into details. She probably knew that Jiang Fan was not interested.
Only Wei and Xia Zhan discussed the current situation.
What Jiang Fan is more concerned about is that Wei and Xia seem to have entered into a protracted tug of war, but Nan Chu seems to have been victorious, crossing the Wu River with force, constantly increasing its troops, and is likely to compete with Xia for victory.
In response to this matter, the empress also frequently mobilized garrisons, which indirectly brought a lot of convenience to Jiang Fan, who was far away in Yining at the time.
As for the reason why Chu State is so restless, Jiang Fan guesses that it is the sequelae of the Wujiang hegemony.
When the Xia State was strong at the beginning, it took advantage of the Chu State's expedition to southern Xinjiang to use a surprise force to seize the north bank of the Wu River in one fell swoop. This resulted in a confrontation between the two countries across the river.
The State of Chu, which lost sixteen cities on the north bank, was considered to have formed a strong alliance with the State of Xia. Since then, there have been constant frictions along the Wujiang River, and this time, the State of Wei has created an excellent opportunity, just like the State of Xia took advantage of the situation. Same, it can be considered that the situation is changing.
But the empress seemed to have other opinions, saying that this was one of the reasons.
The peace talks between Wei and Jin finally came to an end, and Jin paid the price of six cities in exchange for temporary cessation.
I heard that Duke Baishi also made a special trip to visit Wei Guoshi Sima Ru a few days ago and brought many generous gifts. Many people think that this incident will probably arouse the suspicion of King Wei. After all, this is a suspicious monarch by nature.
But Jiang Fan felt that the King of Wei would not be so immeasurable. Otherwise, as a branch of the Sima family, the King of Wei would not be able to let Sima Ru take the position of national master.
But there was something the empress told him with a smile but not a smile. Mr. Baishi also did something and proposed marriage for the second prince.
The word "proposing marriage" immediately aroused Jiang Fan's vigilance. King Wei only has one daughter!
It was his grandma's fault. Jiang Fan almost jumped out of bed on the spot and fought back to Jin.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. He saw the Empress's sneer with narrow eyes, and immediately reacted. There's something wrong with this.
The second prince had just gained his support to ascend to the throne, so there was no way he could backhand his love so quickly. Wasn't he deliberately looking for trouble?
After calming down, Jiang Fan realized that he had almost fallen into the Empress' trap.
Proposal for marriage was 80% possible, but the second prince obviously had ulterior motives in doing this. The top leaders of the Jin State knew that he had the support of King Xiaoyao, and the two must have a close relationship, and there would inevitably be opponents who would make trouble about it.
The second prince didn't have a direct way to break up the relationship with King Xiaoyao, and it wouldn't really affect anything. He simply proposed marriage and offended King Xiaoyao from a distance. This was Sima Laoer giving him a wink. All he needs to do is respond with a fierce attitude, and he can calm down a lot of messy voices.
So Young Master Jiang felt guilty and asked the empress if she had already taken action.
After being looked down upon by the latter, he was satisfied.
But I find it funny that Lin Xiaoqi can still write such a long scolding article, denounced in a roundabout way that the second prince is ungrateful and ungrateful, which is not a thing.
The scolding was very skillful, but Jiang Fan felt that he was not at that level anyway. The second prince probably felt very aggrieved.
As smart as Mr. Jiang, once he thinks clearly, he quickly changes the subject. You must not talk about stealing food in depth.
But the empress seemed a little reluctant, and Master Jiang got angry and started talking about Xiao Rentu's senior brother.
Seeing Mr. Jiang getting angry from shame, the Empress didn't give in at all and started talking about the Holy White Rabbit.
Two to one, Jiang Fan was completely defeated.
It wasn't until Jiang Fan interfered with the marriage between the eldest princess and Gao Rong that the empress finally came to an end.
The wedding of the two is scheduled for the third day of the first lunar month, and there are only five days left.
The empress said that everything was almost ready, except for the phoenix crown Xiamei that Jiang Fan promised to give.
Jiang Fan decided to take the time to go to the Gao family and the eldest princess to check on the situation. After all, he was responsible for this matter, not to mention being a witness.
The two of them chatted until it was almost noon, when Jiang Fan's stomach growled and he got out of bed.
The empress generously walked out of the bedroom side by side with Jiang Fan.
Mr. Jiang, however, felt sad. He glanced secretly and felt that everyone was laughing at him.
But he was just being careless. The two of them left the bedroom side by side. Who dared to see this scene? Even the old guy pretended not to notice it.
Zhao Gao originally thought that although the two of them had an ambiguous love, there was still a bottom line in the final analysis, and he didn't seriously cause any trouble. But now my heart is really shaking.
He didn't sleep all night last night. He was originally waiting for the empress to return to the palace, but guess what?
He carried her into the bedroom.
His Majesty held the prince in his arms.
The key is to forget about it once you get in, and stay the night before you get out.
This... this... what is this? Are you no longer avoiding people?
But what did he dare to say? He stood at the door of the Plum Blossom Hall and looked down at his toes. He only used his peripheral vision to watch the two people talking and laughing as they walked in side by side, holding hands!
Well, if this spreads out, His Majesty will finally have a husband. I can't even imagine what the expressions of the people in the court would be like when they heard about this.
The people are probably happy to hear it, after all, in the eyes of the people, only people like Xiaoyao King are worthy of being the empress.
Uneasy and worried, confused and confused, Zhao Gao almost died of admiration for his wise decision to hug the prince's thigh.
Come on, these little eyes just don’t grow in vain, they focus the light.
Breakfast in the palace is not as simple as in the palace. King Xiaoyao always believes that money is not saved. If you don't spend it and I don't spend it, who will sell it to?
So he spent it.
There are dozens or hundreds of items for each meal, arranged in a row, and whoever wants to eat can do whatever they like.
The prince may have consumed too much last night, so he just made some fried kidneys. Other than that, what he ate was more like breakfast. Paired with it is a bowl of crab roe porridge, two cakes, one meat and one vegetarian, a braised egg, and two pickles.
His Majesty didn't need anyone to wait on him, but he seemed to be dazzled by carrying a large tray, so he walked back and forth three times before it was full.
In the meantime, there were two cute and sweet little girls who were recommended to His Majesty. They were a little timid at first, but seeing that His Majesty was so kind, they later introduced them one by one in a chatty manner.
Zhao Gao didn't dare to make a mistake, he stood aside and bowed, always ready to serve.
Until His Majesty glanced at him: "Don't hold it there, it will affect your appetite. Get something to eat yourself."
His Majesty was despised, but Zhao Gao was very happy, and his tone did not treat him as an outsider.
Therefore, he was lucky enough to join the army of food collectors, but the two little girls were warned that they should take as much as they eat and nothing should be wasted.
A waste of money? I just want to see why Meng Yi’s grandson doesn’t waste it!
This guy packed five trays of food and occupied a table by himself.
The empress couldn't help but pay attention to this amount of food.
"The Meng boy is strong and has a good appetite."
Jiang Fan curled his lips: "They say he is a loser but he still doesn't admit it. He eats and drinks all day long and hasn't even paid a penny for food."
"Isn't it just right to eat a master like you?"
Jiang Fan sighed: "This master is responsible for losing money."
