"Goodbye, sister Qingqing!" After bidding farewell to Xiao Ali and Master Qiu, Jiang Qingjiu took the prepared jade finger and jade ring and got on the carriage back to the princess's mansion.
"Princess, this jade ring is so beautiful." Zhu Tao sighed as she looked at the ring on Jiang Qingjiu's finger.
"Master Qiu really made it perfect."
"Princess, this master craftsman is really kind to you. You have a master's work that no one else can ask for, and you not only have the master but also give it to you."
"But you are also very kind to little Ali."
"Is this the so-called tit for tat?" Zhu Tao sighed, holding her cheeks.
"Maybe it's a matter of eye contact. When I saw little Ah Li, I felt particularly friendly. Master Qiu also said that he was destined to me."
"Little Ah Li is indeed very cute. I feel that little Ah Li looks a bit like you, princess." Zhu Tao accidentally discovered that little Ah Li really looks like the princess, especially when she smiles.
"Really? There are a lot of people who look alike in this world, maybe it's just a coincidence." Jiang Qingjiu didn't think much about it, only thinking that he was destined to Xiao Ali.
"When you are with people who have childlike innocence, you can gain a lot of happiness. The kind of childlike happiness that you can't feel when you grow up now." Jiang Qingjiu recalled the little moments of getting along with Xiao Ali, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. rising.
"It seems that the princess and little Ari get along very well. I haven't seen the princess smile so happily for a long time."
Jiang Qingjiu was stunned and touched the corners of his mouth. He didn't even realize that he was smiling.
It turns out that I have been reborn for so long.
After dinner, Jiang Qingjiu asked Zhu Tao to send the jade ring to the inn.
Posthouse.
In the study room of the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom, the atmosphere was tense and a storm was about to come.
Several ministers were trembling with fear, lowering their heads and leaning forward, not daring to say a word for fear of offending His Highness the Crown Prince's brow.
After all, His Royal Highness is resolute and never gives anyone a second chance.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister sent someone to escort Miss Yan all the way here. We will report it to His Highness as soon as we receive the letter. We did not know about it in advance. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." The Minister of Rites spoke with Gu Xingzhou's murderous eyes on his head.
No one in the Qinglong Kingdom knows that Grand Tutor Yan Yan is the same as the Prime Minister, and his power is second only to the Emperor, and is as powerful as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Taifu Yan is still the teacher who teaches His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty the Qinglong Kingdom is very fond of Taifu Yan. Basically, his majesty will adopt the ideas put forward by Taifu Yan without hesitation.
When His Majesty was young, he often went to war, and Taifu Yan often accompanied him. He was a military advisor at the time. It was also because Taifu Yan was rich in military theory and because of his strategies, almost every battle was won.
Yan Yuning, Taifu Yan's legitimate daughter, has been in love with His Highness the Crown Prince since she was a child. As soon as she heard that His Highness the Crown Prince came to Fengli to take charge of the civil and military competitions, she followed suit.
Yan Yuning was also one of the few women in the boudoir who was not scared away by Gu Xingzhou's cold face.
As her name suggests, Yan Yuning is the most talented woman in the Qinglong Kingdom. In addition to playing chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also good at dancing and is famous throughout the country for her long-sleeved dance.
The Minister of Rites knew that the Taifu was powerful, the Prince was powerful, and he was the only one in decline, so he did not dare to offend either party and could only sit back and watch the two tigers fight.
"The Taifu's daughter is the most talented woman in our country. She is very sure to win the first place in the women's literary competition."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Everyone is thinking that since everyone is here, they can’t be sent back.
"Yang Shangshu said that he is just certain, not certain." Gu Xingzhou looked at Yang Shangshu quietly, his eyes dark and dark.
"No one can tell what will happen in the future. But right now, there is really no more suitable candidate for the competition than Taifu Yan's daughter." Yang Shangshu did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would really seize the loophole in his words, and he was in trouble for a moment. I can only say it bravely.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, although our country's military strength is now the strongest among the three countries, its culture is not necessarily the same. I hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince will consider the daughter of Taifu Yan." The Admiral Hussler General Shen Yunzheng, who had never spoken, spoke up.
"That's what the general said." Everyone agreed.
His Highness the Crown Prince should be able to agree now, right?
Gu Xingzhou raised his head and looked at Shen Yunzheng coldly, with no warmth in his eyes, "It seems like General Shen is quite patriotic."
patriotic?
Definitely love it.
What's wrong with His Royal Highness? Why are you praising me all of a sudden?
Could it be that what I said was exactly what he wanted?
Shen Yunzheng's current status was earned step by step by himself. He led troops to fight and endured hardships. He was a strong-willed and passionate man. Although he looked dark, if you look carefully, you can still see that he has regular features, clear eyebrows, and eyebrows. Thick and black, it makes people feel safe.
He is the one whose face and figure do not match his personality. He looks deep and steady, majestic and courageous, with murderous eyes that make people afraid to look directly at him.
In fact, he is clear about love and hate, upright, aboveboard, and the most kind and pure.
His name was given by Gu Xingzhou, which comes from "The majestic fire clouds shine on the forest, and the red sun sits in the sky like a scorch."
I hope that in the future he will stand upright, make great achievements, and be as free as a cloud. He has been by Gu Xingzhou's side since he achieved military success.
Little did he know that what Gu Xingzhou was jealous of was that he was also on the list of candidates for the Prince Consort, and he stupidly agreed to that He Ning's participation. Since he suggested it, he should satisfy him.
"Since General Shen is so patriotic, he is concerned about whether Taifu Yan's daughter will participate in the competition. How about leaving the safety of Taifu Yan's daughter to you during the competition?"
"General Shen, he is such a good and loyal and patriotic general of our country! We have such good generals in our country. Why worry about not being able to win the first place in the competition? Why not worry about not being able to show off the prestige of our country?" Yang Shangshu saw that there was something going on and began to give Shen Yunzheng a high hat.
"That's right, General Shen. You are highly skilled in martial arts, brave and patriotic, and you can certainly protect a female family member. The success or failure of our country's competition depends on you, General Shen." Another minister saw the situation and praised him.
Patriotic, loyal and brave, and highly skilled in martial arts.
Well, that's me they're talking about.
They all said so, so I reluctantly agreed.
Who told me to be so patriotic?
I'm not doing this for praise, I'm just simply patriotic, really.
"I would like to obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will." Shen Yunzheng respectfully agreed. No one could tell that he was so rich in mental activities.
Qingshan was stunned for a moment when he heard it outside the door, and it must be His Highness the Crown Prince.
High, really high!
Doesn’t General Shen have no chance to get close to the princess?
