Jiang Beiqiao nodded: "Yes."
Ye Zhenfeng smiled and said: "Brother Beiqiao is known as the beautiful county governor. Emperor Yuelang handed over Qianqiao County to you. You have managed it in an orderly manner over the years. I think the girl promised to you by Emperor Yuelang must be from a famous family. Female!"
Jiang Beiqiao smiled, and then said: "It's the sister of Emperor Yuelang, the current Princess Zhaohai Yu Yunshang!"
Ye Zhenfeng was shocked and hurriedly congratulated: "She is actually the current Princess. Congratulations to Brother Beiqiao. What a joy!"
There was a gentle smile on the bridge in Jiangbei, and it was hard to tell whether he liked it or not: "The emperor's fate is difficult. I never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would marry Princess Zhaohai to me. After all, there are many princes and grandsons in the court. There are many outstanding people, why do you have to marry me, who already has a wife?"
Yu Fengxing, the Yuelang Emperor, was a wolfish king who killed his father. All the brothers who threatened him were poisoned and killed by him. The princesses who could not seize power with him all became his pawns to win over other countries. His sisters and sisters They all married into various vassal countries and became pawns for him to rule the countries.
Now there are four unmarried princesses left in the palace, namely Princess Wuyu, Princess Congyun, Princess Zhaohai, and Princess Yaoshan.
And this Princess Zhaohai is the princess he loves most. Because Princess Zhaohai Yu Yunshang and he were born from the same mother and concubine, his feelings for this biological sister are naturally deeper.
However, Princess Teruhai suffered from a strange disease when she was born. After recovering from the disease, she became blind in both eyes, and her eyes also mutated, and her eyeballs turned into colorful colors, which was very strange.
Because the strange eyes looked a bit scary, her eyes were covered with silk scarves all year round. Because of her inconvenience, Yu Fengxing did not marry her away, but stayed with him to take care of her. However, as the princess grew older, Now that she has passed the marriageable age, if she doesn't get married, she will probably become a laughing stock in the palace.
Yu Fengxing had long been worried about his sister's marriage. While he was reluctant to let her marry far away, he was also afraid that if he continued to keep her by his side, he would be criticized. In the end, for the sake of his sister's happiness, he decided to let her go and give her to another man. Men take care of it.
And this man is Jiangbeiqiao, the governor of Qianqiao County. Over the years, he has been paying close attention to all the civil and military officials in the court, and he has never seen the top picks in the past. However, this beautiful county governor is indeed a talented person.
Jiang Beiqiao was once the number one scholar. He is calm, sophisticated, and has a gentle temperament. He is indeed a suitable candidate. For such a smart and overall-minded person, even if Yu Yunshang marries her, he doesn't like her. He will never treat the neglected princess badly and will definitely treat her well.
He heard that Jiang Beiqiao had not married again for many years because of his wife's death. This showed that this man valued love and justice and was not a lustful person. If Yu Yunshang married him, he would not have to worry about him getting involved with women and looking for someone else. It’s not bad for a new love to spend his life in such a stable way.
Although Jiang Beiqiao had already married a wife and was not the best candidate to be the consort, looking at the entire Yuelang Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no more suitable candidate than Jiang Beiqiao. So Yu Fengxing issued an edict to let Princess Zhaohai and Jiangbeiqiao get married soon.
Jiang Beiqiao thought to himself that if he could find the tomb of King Qi Jin before getting married, it would be regarded as fulfilling Yu Fengxing's wish for many years and repaying His Majesty the Emperor's respect. As for whether Yu Yunshang was the person he liked, he had no idea. important.
After all, their union was just a political marriage. His Majesty the Emperor wants to find a safe supporter for his sister. Naturally, the appearance and talent must be outstanding, and the heart must be towards himself. Jiangbeiqiao has been an official for many years, and has always done things safely. He is also loyal to Yu Fengxing, which can be regarded as a good one. is the best candidate.
As for Jiang Beiqiao himself, he married a wife to seek virtue, and the princess was a golden girl, so she must have been born into a beautiful country. Since she was a princess, he could stay together forever regardless of whether they were in love or not.
He has been an official all his life and has only pursued a smooth official career. With the relationship of the princess, the royal family has become his backer. He, a young county governor, will definitely hold an important position in the court in the future, and he will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister just around the corner.
After three drinks, the two chatted happily. When Jiang Beiqiao returned to the governor's house, he was already a little tipsy. Looking at Jiang Nanyue sitting in the study, lighting a lamp and looking for the bridge, his heart sank.
During the banquet, he drunkenly asked Ye Zhenfeng if he would fall in love with another woman besides Han Ziyue. He said that he would not marry anyone other than Ziyue in this life. His tone was so firm that it was obvious that there was no room for a third person. .
He himself has a very deep feeling for Hua Ning, and he naturally understands Ye Zhenfeng's feelings about being together for the rest of his life. If he were not in the government and the public, it would be hard to break the emperor's order, and he did not want to marry another woman and break his oath.
The flowers bloom under the moon, and the flowers are deep and thick under the moon.
Yujuan saw Jiangbeiqiao standing in the garden in a daze, and hurriedly whispered to the young lady who was sitting at the desk sketching: "Miss, the county governor is back!"
"Really?" Jiang Nanyue's face was full of joy, she put down the brush in her hand, picked up the hem of her skirt and walked quickly towards her brother.
"elder brother!"
Jiangnanyue was filled with joy, and she saw the Jiangbei Bridge standing under the moonlight, with her clothes slipping off and a slightly tipsy look on her face.
He turned to look at Jiang Nanyue, with crimson eyes and a smile on his lips: "I have met Mr. Ye. He is indeed a handsome young man with outstanding talents."
Jiang Nanyue's eyebrows moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Brother thinks he's pretty good too, right?"
Jiang Beiqiao nodded. It was undeniable that Ye Zhenfeng was indeed an outstanding person. Unfortunately, he already had love in his heart, and love was always the most difficult to force. He was afraid that he would disappoint his sister this time.
However, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain to prevent Jiang Nanyue from falling into deep pain. He said: "But it is a pity that Mr. Ye already has a girl he likes, and he has a deep love for her and cannot tolerate her. Otherwise, my brother will definitely let him Be my brother-in-law.”
Jiang Nanyue raised her eyebrows and stared blankly at Jiangbei Bridge with her big eyes. She felt a buzzing in her head. It turned out that she was just being sentimental these days, and her deep love was wasted.
Jiang Beiqiao gently patted Jiang Nanyue's shoulder and whispered: "Maybe it's because of the drunkenness. I just feel a little dizzy. My brother went back to the room to rest first. You should also rest early!"
Jiang Nanyue suppressed the tears in her eyes and nodded in agreement.
Nanyue, I know what you are thinking in your heart, but you should also understand that love is the most tormenting thing, and it is also the most difficult to force. My brother can't bear to let you fall into it, and it will be painful in the future.
Jiangbeiqiao's slender figure finally disappeared at the end of the garden. Yujuan, who was standing aside and watching, stepped forward, helped the young lady standing in the wind, and brought her into the room.
Jiang Nanyue couldn't accept it for a while. She was so happy these days, but in the end it turned out to be an empty joy. She just felt confused and was helped back to the room by Yujuan.
Yujuan hesitated to speak, but unexpectedly, the green-feathered parrot hanging in the birdcage shouted at an inappropriate time: "The flowers are full and the moon is full! The flowers are full and the moon is full!"
How could a little green bird with such a small brain know that people's hearts can change? Jiang Nanyue was very happy when it called so flatteringly before, and was willing to come forward to tease it and touch its little head. Today, when it called like this, Jiang Nanyue finally shed tears.
Yujuan was angry and stepped forward with a feather duster as if to beat the flat-haired beast. She opened her mouth and said angrily: "You ignorant thing, how dare you make the lady angry? I won't beat you to death!"
Xiao Lulu walked up and down on the wooden pole, shaking her head and shouting: "You don't know how to wink, don't see if I don't beat you to death! You don't know how to wink, don't see if I don't beat you to death! You don't know how to wink!" You know how to wink, see if I don’t beat you to death!”
Jiang Nanyue was amused by Xiao Lulu's repeated words, and then said to Yujuan: "Why are you hurting it? It's just a parrot, it doesn't understand anything."
Yujuan stamped her feet, turned around and came to Jiang Nanyue, took her hand and said, "It's all my fault that I didn't ask clearly. I thought that since he didn't have a wife, he must not have a sweetheart, but unexpectedly he hurt you, young lady!"
Jiang Nanyue sighed, then shook his head and said: "I just can't accept it for a while. Then again, I only met him a few times, and it's not a deep love. I just feel a little bit missing out on such a good person." It's just a missed opportunity. But when I think about it carefully, I don't know him very well. I just felt amazing when I first met him. This kind of liking is only superficial. I don't even know what he likes. After we have been together for a long time, maybe we will become acquainted. It’s possible to be disgusted by both things, but it’s not possible to say you like it, let alone love it.”
Jiang Nanyue has always been a talented girl, and she will naturally become more open-minded soon after reading more books. Yujuan is her personal maid, and the lady is the most important thing in everything. She secretly feels sorry for the lady in her heart, and feels that God is really a blessing. People, but if you miss it, you will miss it. My lady is so smart and well-educated, she will not worry about not meeting a good husband in the future.
The master and servant exchanged a few words, and Yujuan served the young lady to bed early. She went back to the study, sorted out the things in it, blew out the candles, and then went back to the room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Jiang Beiqiao was already wearing a windbreaker. He stood in his study and sketched the remaining bridge. He held an inkstone and a brush in one hand. He felt that the mottled white left in the painting in front of him was like falling snowflakes. Like a dragon or a snake, it forms a strange totem on the drawing paper.
He secretly thought that perhaps Ye Zhenfeng's conjecture was right. King Qi Jin built these bridges not for no reason, but with a certain purpose, and this purpose was probably related to King Qi Jin's mausoleum.
Since he took up the post of Qianqiao County Sheriff, he has read the existing ancient scrolls of Qiguo Kingdom thoroughly. There are incomplete historical records and some unofficial legends. None of them can be completely believed. However, some truths are hidden in it. Among these legends, one needs a discerning eye to discover what they want.
At nightfall, Ye Zhenfeng was invited into the Sheriff's Mansion.
He was walking in a hurry, and flowers and plants clung to the feet of his robe as he crossed the path.
When they came to the study room, Jiang Beiqiao and Jiang Nanyue were already standing inside. When the two brothers and sisters stood together, Ye Zhenfeng realized that the two people were indeed similar in appearance. His sister Jiang Nanyue was more gentle and quiet, and her appearance was also more beautiful. Bright and charming, his brother's appearance is also very gentle, but this gentleness also reveals a bewitching evil charm, which makes him seem a little wild and unruly.
