Chen Bing was stunned, and in the blink of an eye, this stunned emotion turned into upset.

But a person who has lived in the officialdom for a long time, never put the things in his heart on his face, and fell silent for a while.

Who would have thought that he had a good plan, and suddenly a Jiang Xingzhou came out and robbed him?

The Jiang family's hairpin and Ying family have been officials from generation to generation, and their status in Jinling is far from that of ordinary officials.

Whoever gets married to his family can make himself gilded.

Pei Songyu, a talented but from a poor family, needs such a marriage most, so that he can gain a firmer foothold in the aristocratic circle. And Ning Anbo's mansion has been in decline in recent years, and it is obvious that it needs a talented son-in-law to help.

Not choosing such a marriage made in heaven, but choosing a disabled prince?

This is really confusing, do you have other plans in mind?

He doesn't agree, "You are too indulgent to your daughter."

Jiang Xingzhou was suddenly humble, "It's nothing."

Chen Bing felt a little stuck in his heart at this moment. He didn't believe that Jiang Xingzhou didn't hear the rumors outside. He knew that he wanted to marry his daughter to Rong Ting, so he had to tell him what he said today, which was really cunning.

He circled his fingers displeasedly, "If my son has a crush on a girl, it's easy to say, come to the house to propose a marriage, you..."

You can't go to the emperor to make a kiss, can you?

Jiang Xingzhou smiled. Although the smile was light, he seemed to be at ease and confident, "The sage wants to leave me with a lot of paintings and owes me several rewards. He intended to marry me more than ten years ago. Now if I bring this up again, Perhaps the Holy Master will agree."

Chen Bing choked.

Taking a picture of flowers and birds given to him by Jiang Xingzhou, he left Ning An Bo Mansion.

After stepping on the carriage, Chen Bing unfolded the three-foot-long scroll, glanced at it, and threw it into the arms of the servant behind him with a sour tone, "I don't see what's so good about this painting, I don't know why the emperor I like it so much."

After returning to Chen Mansion, he summoned his confidant, whispered to him, told everything he had seen and heard in Ning Anbo Mansion today, and finally said seriously and anxiously: "Go and tell the Guozhang this quickly. Father."

...

Concubine Yun Gui can't say when Jiang Siye will let Jiang Rao go back.

She only said: "Relax your heart, even if your father doesn't agree in the end, I will go to the emperor to tell you that you are infatuated, and ask for an imperial decree for you to marry."

"The emperor will answer my request, this request is not unreasonable, he does not

will not agree. "

Jiang Rao nodded.

But instead, she hoped that her father would agree.

If you rely on the aunt to ask for the imperial decree for marriage, it is naturally good, but it will hurt her father even more.

Yun Guifei thought of something at this time, raised her lips, and smiled casually, "I didn't have a child before, and they at most thought I was a little grasshopper that jumped around. Although I couldn't kill me, I couldn't make a fire. This is good. Now, I'm finally going to be the heart of the Xu family."

Jiang Rao looked at the snow by the window, then turned around and glanced at Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun Gui was sitting on the couch, her slender figure leaning back, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Lazy look, inexplicable... excited?

Jiang Rao returned to Yun Guifei in a few steps and peeled an orange for her, "Aren't you worried that she will become more dangerous?"

Yun Guifei likes to look at her white and soft little face, she feels peaceful at a glance, and rubs her head like a cat, "I used to regard the queen as a thorn in my side, but although she hates me, she also looks down on me, In her heart, there are many more formidable opponents than me. Maybe because I don't have a child who secretly ridicules and ridicules me, I can only compare with her in appearance and figure, and compare the favor of the emperor. It's really boring. I'm tired, it's time to change the game."

Jiang Raohuan was worried, "Then I will teach you a few ways to protect yourself."

Concubine Yun Gui laughed, "What can you do to protect yourself?"

Jiang Rao lowered her eyes and said nothing, fiddling with the purse around her waist with her fingers, revealing the objects blocked by the purse.

Concubine Yun's smile disappeared and became serious, "Why do you carry a dagger with you?"

Jiang Rao said vaguely, "For a while, the auntie always stopped me in front of my shop by the Qinhuai River. I was a little scared."

Actually not.

She used to think that as long as she was with her parents, she would be well protected and there was nothing to worry about.

From the dream in Yecheng, she understood that she couldn't always expect her parents to protect her, and there were times when they couldn't protect her.

It might not work, but she has to give it a try.

She didn't dare to take this dagger before, but later she met Hu Tang. Hu Tang not only taught her how to use it, but also told her where the key points of people were.

Hopefully she'll never use it.

Jiang Rao lowered her eyelids, moved the purse back, and covered the dagger. Her fingers patted the purse lightly, and then raised her eyes seriously, "I have a stunned powder in my place."

The little girl is honest and cute, her cheeks are pink, and she is cleaner than Huaguduo, but she is teaching her to do bad things. Yun Guifei looked at Jiang Raohao's appearance as a teacher, but instead she burst into tears and fell on the couch, shouting "heart".

"I'm worried that you just learned to carry a dagger on your body because something happened to you. Is it good to change it?" She laughed for a long time before she straightened up, "I've been in the palace for so many years, and the bad words are all written on my face. , that is, you treat me as a vegetarian. I have more ways than you, so I will teach you the right thing."

"Oh." Jiang Rao responded slowly, put down her hand, Shui Xing's eyes were clear and sincere, and looked at Qin Yun eagerly, "Then, auntie teach me."

Concubine Yun was overjoyed again.

How can there be such an obedient and playful child?

"When you go back this time, I'll send the teacher who taught me to you, how to defend yourself, and let her teach you some things you should know before getting married."

Jiang Rao's eyes widened, and her eyelashes trembled as she blinked in shock, "The latter one is unnecessary."

"Is it possible, you already know it?" Yun Guifei looked at her narrowly.

"I-I won't." What would it be? Jiang Rao covered her hot ears in her heart.

"Didn't you just tell me that the ninth prince's legs will be fine? You can't escape." Concubine Yun whispered in her ear, "You know more, the first time, you can suffer less. ."

"Although his leg has been injured for so long, didn't he switch to the martial arts field to win glory for the emperor in the first half of the year? He doesn't have the strength to pull a bow that weighs hundreds of pounds." She put her arms around Jiang Rao's waist and looked at it for a while. Eyes, he said: "Listen to my words, don't be too shy, you should learn something else, or your waist is as thin as a willow, as tender as a flower, and some will suffer."

Jiang Rao was so embarrassed that she couldn't breathe, and the thin white fingertips that hooked her ears seemed to be a little red from the heat, and she was suffocated like a fish out of water. Yun Guifei stopped teasing her, thinking to herself. When the time comes, it's just fine to let the teacher teach her directly. The more people who know this kind of thing talk about it, the more embarrassing it will be.

But seeing her like this, she was relieved.

Just now, she saw that her eyes were clear and clear, and she didn't seem to be interested in the ninth prince. She was worried that she had other reasons for wanting to marry Rong Ting. Seeing her embarrassed and hiding at this moment, she felt relieved.

If she didn't like it, when she mentioned this kind of thing, her eyes should be disgusted.

Jiang Rao took a deep breath and breathed evenly, "Auntie, why does the emperor trust the queen so much?"

Talking about business, talking about business, her face is not so hot.

"It's not so much that the emperor trusts the queen, it's better that he trusts the Xu family." Concubine Yun Gui said in a low voice, "The father-in-law fell ill a few years ago. If you want to take the crane to the west, who knows that he has become tougher in the past two years, but he has become old, and the housekeepers have dispersed. He has no real power in his hands, and he does not often communicate with officials. In addition, he With only two daughters and no sons, the relatives can take the initiative to delegate power to him, and the emperor will naturally rest assured."

Jiang Rao lowered her head, frowned, and thought of the letter she had erased before leaving home that read "In front of the remnant flowers in the eastern suburbs".

She asked Rong Ting, whose daughter the queen wanted to marry him, and he returned to her, Chen?

The only person with the surname of Chen that she knew and Rong Ting also knew was Chen Bing.

Chen Bing was from the Xu family, but no one knew that he had contacts with the Xu family, and the court did not know how many people like him were exchanged.

Thinking about it this way, even though Xu Guozhang looks like a dead tree, the roots underneath are deep.

The queen wanted Chen Bing, who seemed to have nothing to do with her, to marry her daughter to Rong Ting, probably because she didn't want Rong Ting to know that his future bedside person was the one she arranged.

Such eyeliner will not be guarded by Rong Ting.

When Rong Ting had nothing but power, the queen would bully him blatantly, and when his power grew and he was not as easy to bully as before, the queen started to play ass?

Replacement is really disgusting.

After changing, Rong Ting didn't bite the yin hook she put.

Jiang Rao suddenly had doubts.

Chen Bing hid so deeply, how did Rong Ting know that he was the queen's person?

And why, so far, Chuan and Chen Bing are very close?

...

Beishen Courtyard.

Wu Que stood in front of Rong Ting with his hands behind his back, and replied, "This subordinate and Changxing are almost inseparable, and they have been with Lord Chen for seven days, only yesterday.

The first time saw someone from his mansion came out in the middle of the night to see the father-in-law. "

Cold sweat broke out on Wu Que's face, and he lowered his head, "Master Chen is really unbelievable."

His face was a little embarrassed.

Previously in Yunling, he felt that Rong Ting's behavior of throwing away the eggs sent by Chen Bing was inappropriate. Some... ignorant of flattery, he saved a few eggs to feed to the stray dogs in the village.

After half a day, the dogs were all vomiting.

Rong Ting sat behind the case, with a thick document in front of him. He was holding a red pen, his eyebrows were low, and he didn't raise his eyes from these documents, and nodded very gently.

Wu Que asked, "Is Your Highness going to break with Chen Bingda?"

"No need."

two short words,

does not explain.

Wu Que did not dare to inquire into his thoughts, and after reporting, he walked out of the study.

Rong Ting's face was pale, his eyes were cold, and he blinked, but showed a touch of interest.

Chen Bing and Xu Guozhang were probably convinced that he regarded Chen Bing as a noble person.

That's fine, just treat them with pity, let them mistakenly think that he is being played around by them, and give them a few happy days.

He wouldn't give anything Chen Bing wanted, but he wanted all of Chen Bing's contacts in the Ministry of Industry.

Chen Bing sent him to the door to help him pave the way. The benefits given for nothing, don't give up for nothing.

Things will be interesting when he has no use value, and then teach him a lesson.

When Wu Que went out, he heard heavy coughing in the study.

Just as Huaiqing came back from outside, Wu Que glanced at him, "Where did you come from?"

Huaiqing showed him the oil paper bag in his hand, "I went to buy Li Ji's snacks and came back. The ninth highness suddenly fell in love with sweets in the past few days, and I want Li Ji's snacks every day."

Wu Que pulled him aside, "I listened to His Highness Ninth Highness's cough. His illness is much heavier than yesterday. What did the doctor say?"

Huaiqing said: "The doctor who came to the clinic said that His Highness the Ninth Highness was cold at night, but I have carefully checked the charcoal fire and bedding in the house, and it is obviously very warm. Maybe I am tired. He has given so many official documents, and he thinks about going to Ning An Bo Mansion when he has time, so he can't stand this kind of toss."

When he was not sick before, he pretended to be sick, but this time he was really sick, and he didn't see him wanting to let Jiang Rao know. Huaiqing couldn't understand Rong Ting's mind, and only said, "Maybe, this is also a heart disease."

Wu Que asked, "Can Your Highness knock on the door of Ning Anbo's mansion today?"

Huai Qing shook his head.

Wu Que said, "Anyway, it's the result of not seeing you behind closed doors. Your Highness is now ill, why bother to go every day?"

The door of the study was opened at this time.

Rong Ting coughed and walked out with his wheelchair in hand, "No need to talk about this."

"I have to suffer a little."

Jiang Rao cannot be left alone to suffer.

He took the oil paper bag from Huai Qing's hand and returned to the study.

Waiting for the night to fall, he went to sleep with his clothes, but pinched the time. When the moon was hanging on his head, he stood up slowly, changed into black clothes, let off his long hair, and tied it up again, like a black magpie. like that.

Covering his face with a black scarf, he took the crisp pear cake that he ordered Huaiqing to buy from Li Ji, avoiding the guards arranged by Jiang Siye, and sneaked all the way into the Ning Anbo Mansion.

last night

All changed to the study room with lights on, but tonight, it fell into darkness and silence.

Rong Ting frowned, approached the door, and put his ear to it.

No vocals.

What about her? !

Rong Ting's heart was shaking, and he coughed heavily.

At the same time, on the road outside the courtyard, the guards guarding the courtyard heard the movement inside, and immediately cheered up. They rushed towards the study from all directions, "Who's there?"
