Linzhi Palace.

Jiang Bilan was indeed very angry. She complained that her chest hurt and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine to soothe the liver and relieve depression.

Feng Yuzhen looked at the broken blue and white porcelain on the floor, and her heart ached. Jiang was so angry that he threw the table back, and all the good things were ruined. If he didn't want it, wouldn't he appreciate it?

And that Mo Fox coat, Feng Yuzhen had been coveting it for a long time. She hinted several times but Jiang Bilan refused to give it to her, but in the end she gave it to Xia Tong's mother easily. Is there something wrong with this person?

However, the gift had already been given away and there was no reason to get it back. Feng Yuzhen had no choice but to endure the curse and stepped forward, "Why do you need to get angry with them? There is no good person in the Xia family. With the daughter's behavior, the mother will not be much better."

.”

Jiang Bilan said angrily: "How did I know that she is so shameless? You really can't tell a person's face."

No matter how much she ridiculed, Mrs. Song still had a smile on her face. Jiang Bilan didn't believe that she couldn't understand - with a nephew as knowledgeable as Cheng Yao, how could his aunt's knowledge be any worse?

She decided that Mrs. Song was pretending to be stupid, but she couldn't see through the mask of the other party, and the fox fur cloak was naturally mocking her daughter for being charming and charming. She fully expected that Mrs. Song would be angry and contradict her, but Jiang Bilan was just the one to punish her.

The crime of disrespect was so that Xia Tong could be dragged into the water.

As a result, not only was she not annoyed, but she also smiled happily. Jiang Bilan became angry when she saw her smiling face. She was exactly the same as her daughter - this family is full of smart people, and they are used to pretending to be stupid.

Jiang Bilan felt that she had underestimated the Xia family in the past. Seeing that her family background was ordinary, she thought she would not be a problem. Unexpectedly, she seduced the emperor quietly, and now she is pregnant with the dragonborn and has become a strong opponent.

Now it is not easy for Jiang Bilan to punish her.

Seeing her sad face, Feng Yuzhen said enthusiastically: "Mother, please let me share your worries. Xia is pregnant and can't sleep with you now. This is an opportunity."

But Jiang Bilan still couldn't trust her. Behind Feng Yuzhen was the prime minister's father. Once she became powerful, she would probably pose a greater threat to him than Xia Tong. Wouldn't she be able to attract the wolf and reject the tiger?

After a few casual words, Jiang Bilan sent her away, then sent someone home to inquire about Liu Qingxu. Although the emperor's first impression of her was not very good, with her appearance similar to Xia Tong, it stands to reason that

There is still a slight chance of winning.

What's more, Liu Qingxu comes from a humble background and is easier to control.

Jiang Bilan was full of confidence and decided to use the fake product to compete with the genuine product. However, when she asked, she found out that her mother was worrying about the Liu family.

It turned out that when Mrs. Jiang brought Liu Qingxu home, she planned to send her to a Taoist temple for spiritual cultivation, so that the Xia family could feel at ease. However, who knew that Mrs. Liu looked petite and petite, but was decisive and fierce. I heard that she

Mrs. Chiang wanted to send her to become a monk, so she got angry and found a pair of small silver scissors to cut herself, and she made such a noise that the whole street knew about it.

Mrs. Jiang could clearly see that the scissors were only a few inches long and could kill someone. Even if she had to bleed to death, it would take several hours. Word had already spread on the street.

She was really barefoot and was not afraid of wearing shoes. Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to order someone to bandage her wounds and promised not to send her out again - after all, Mrs. Liu had served her in the palace, which was equivalent to being plated.

A layer of gold, if someone really died, Mrs. Jiang would not be able to explain to the palace.

After Liu Qingxu succeeded in threatening her with death, she timidly expressed to Mrs. Jiang that she was a child of a good family and was willing to work as a slave and maid in the Jiang family, just to give her a way to survive.

What else could Mrs. Jiang do? She was a mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis. She didn't want to be a young lady or a girl, so she just lived there.

However, Mrs. Liu was not a peaceful person. In her free time, she often had fights with several young masters of the Jiang family, without knowing the slightest taboo. Those children of common concubines were already arrogant because Mrs. Jiang did not take the trouble to teach them. I heard that this

Liu Qingxu came out of the palace, and her beauty was comparable to that of Xia Jieyu, who is now very popular, and everyone coveted her.

Mrs. Jiang felt that she had really brought a disaster home. It was all because she was obsessed with it at the time. Now she could neither chew on it nor throw it away. She was so worried that her hair turned a few gray.

After hearing this, Jiang Bilan had no choice but to give up her plan to bring Liu Qingxu into the palace - she was so restless, if she caused a scandal with any of the guards or imperial doctors in the future, wouldn't she become the second Feng Yuzhen? No, it would be even worse than Feng Yuzhen's situation.

bad.

Then your reputation will inevitably be slandered.

Jiang Bilan then said silently: "You'd better find a match for her as soon as possible. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, it's better than staying at home and causing trouble."

Mrs. Jiang thought so too, but she didn't want to find an unknown marriage. She had spent a lot of money to buy Liu Qingxu back from Yangzhou, and now she had to earn back the capital no matter what.

Besides, if we can find a promising in-law, it will be more helpful to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang searched here and there, but could not find anyone suitable. The scholars in the capital were either already married, or they were not of the right age. It was not easy to find a young and talented person who was well-matched.

When she heard that the Guidehou Mansion was looking for a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang became energetic.

Although Cheng Yao has some flaws in his character, his literary talent is indeed good, and he may not have no future in the future. Besides, he is not marrying his biological daughter. It will not matter if he is not prosperous in the future. Anyway, it will be good if he can solve a big problem at hand.

Mrs. Jiang then let the outside world know that she had a handkerchief in Yangzhou who died young and left behind a weak daughter. Mrs. Chiang pitied her for her loneliness and specially adopted her as her adopted daughter. She was determined to find a decent marriage.

Only then can we be worthy of our old friends.

The matchmaker Xin Xin brought the idea to her, fully expecting that Master Cheng would agree to it, but unexpectedly this man said: "What kind of adopted daughter is a fake person? I don't dare to ask for it."

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, her face turning red and white, "But, this Miss Liu is really pretty..."

In particular, he looks very similar to Xia Jieyu in the palace. Didn't it mean that Cheng Langjun was very enamored of Xia Jieyu and even uttered arrogant words in the Jinluan Palace? Logically speaking, it should be easy for him to empathize with Mrs. Liu.

Cheng Yao said coldly: "Once upon a time, everything was difficult, except Wushan. Please tell the Prime Minister's wife that I appreciate your kindness, but I will never marry Mrs. Liu."

What he loves is not Xia Tong's appearance - certainly not her soul, but her unique destiny, which will be of great help to him. For this reason, Cheng Yao will never let a fake ruin his plans.

.

The matchmaker didn't know the secret behind it, but she felt that Editor Cheng was really affectionate. After returning home, she praised Mrs. Jiang and solemnly said that her son-in-law could find anyone, but Editor Cheng had better forget it.

Mrs. Jiang was very puzzled: Was this godly woman kicked in the head by a donkey?

He was babbling without saying a word of truth.

How can you tell that we are deeply in love with Cheng Yao? Do people who are truly in love talk about it every day?

After Xia Tong heard the rumors Cheng Yao took the opportunity to fabricate on the street, she was so sick that she almost vomited out her overnight meal. She wanted to be a matchmaker with good intentions, but in the end, she became a tool for Cheng Yao to set up his own persona.

I'm really convinced how anyone in the world can be so thick-skinned.

When Liu Zhang saw her, he saw a spittoon in front of her, and Chunlan was patting her on the back, slowly comforting her.

Xia Tong was afraid of the smell, so he waved his hands weakly and said: "I'm fine, Your Majesty, take a rest first, I'll be here soon."

Liu Zhang did not mind the taboo and stepped forward to massage Chunlan on her behalf.

His palm is broad, not too strong, not too weak, and slightly warm, which makes it more comfortable than Chunlan's.

Xia Tong lowered his head and took a look. Fortunately, he had almost vomited, and there was only a little water left in the bowl.

Then she lay down on the emperor's lap with peace of mind, "I lost my composure and made your majesty laugh."

Liu Zhang really couldn't help but laugh, "Is it because of your cousin again?"

Xia Tong sat up from his arms, "Have you heard about it too?"

Liu Zhang nodded expressionlessly. When it came to manipulating public opinion, Cheng Yao was regarded as the number one, and no one dared to recognize him as the second. Now, according to the word of mouth among the people, he and Xia Tong may have become a pair of star-crossed lovers, but he himself

It's the villain tyrant who beats the mandarin ducks with a stick.

And he can't come out to impose sanctions, otherwise wouldn't the rumors be confirmed?

Xia Tong: "...Then what do you think?"

Don't you really believe it? Even a fool can see that she has no nostalgia for Cheng Yao. If she can still falsely accuse her of having an affair, she might as well just kill him.

Liu Zhang glanced at her, "Do you think I should believe it?"

Xia Tong:……

Why do you always use rhetorical questions to answer interrogative sentences? How should she answer?

Liu Zhang bit her lip gently, "I want him to go to Qianzhou as counselor. I wonder if you are willing?"

Xia Tong looked at him excitedly. Qianzhou was a poor and poor place. What the emperor meant...

Liu Zhang gently stroked her black hair, but there was a coldness in his eyes, "Even if you are reluctant to let go, my mind has been made and cannot be changed."

Xia Tong:……

In fact, she is very willing to relegate her as far away as possible. It is best for Cheng Yao not to disturb her life.

So she carefully gave the emperor a kind smile, showing that she agreed with this opinion.

Liu Zhang misunderstood that she was begging for mercy and became jealous again. He pushed her down with a wave of his hand and slid his fingertips along the folds into his collar.

Xia Tong murmured softly.

In Yunyang's Mansion, Cheng Yao waited for the rumors to ferment and was ready to tell his close friend Xia Changsong again about his deep feelings. Only in this way could his image be perfected.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two met, Xia Changsong said with a bright smile: "Congratulations, Guangzu, you finally got through it."

Cheng Yao:...where does joy come from?

Could it be that the emperor was showing mercy and wanted to return Xia Tong to him? There was a burst of joy in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, Xia Changsong patted his shoulder hard and said: "I just found out that His Majesty asked you to be the counselor of Qianzhou. Then

But a place where you can do practical things is better than staying in Hanlin Academy and dawdling around!"

Cheng Yao's boiling heart cooled down, "Qianzhou?"

Xia Changsong nodded heavily, feeling happy for him from the bottom of his heart, "It just so happens that you don't want to get married. Wouldn't it be nice to avoid gossip and fulfill your ambition?"

Cheng Yao looked at the silly big friend in front of him, and for the first time he felt despair that was difficult to communicate with. He was chosen because of his innocence before, but now he realized that innocence also has its disadvantages.

He didn't understand how bad his situation was, and he cheered for him wishfully.

How can there be such a fool in the world?
