Dajin royal family
Chapter 313 Open the door for you
Chapter 313 Open the door for you
The battle in Qi County is in full swing, and the officials in Luoyang are at ease.
On this day near the end of the year, the former Minister of Rites, Xiao Dan is going to celebrate his [-]th birthday.
Xiao Dan has been an official for many years, and has always been the banner in the hearts of southern scholars and bureaucrats. Although he has retired for many years, his personal connections are there.
Therefore, on the day of the birthday, bureaucrats come to celebrate the birthday in an endless stream.
Even the emperor sent someone to reward Xiao Dan with a lot of things, and named Xiao Dan's heirs. It can be seen that the emperor still respects the old man Xiao.
In the gate of the mansion, there were people coming and going, and the red robes merged together, and the joy on Xiao Dan's face became more intense with the congratulations.
"King Wudu is here!"
Following the concierge's shout, all the officials in the yard stopped discussing immediately and looked towards the door.
Although King Zhao gradually lost his sacred heart and was neglected by the emperor in the mansion, this Wudu king did not have it, and he was still highly valued by the emperor.
He is a servant at a young age, and at least he will be a minister in the future. Who would dare to underestimate such a character.
Dressed in casual clothes, Jiang Chengxiao walked in with a smile on his face. Nan Jiyun and Kuai Siyu who were following behind were holding boxes in their hands, and they knew at a glance that it was a valuable birthday present.
"Boss is as blessed as the East China Sea, and his life expectancy is better than Nanshan." Jiang Chengxiao cupped his hands and congratulated Xiao Dan with a smile.
Xiao Dan waved his hand, and pulled Jiang Chengxiao kindly, "Your Highness is joking, but it's just that the big guys want to have fun, and it shouldn't be like this."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then, under Xiao Dan's earnest coaxing, they went to the main seat and sat down.
Good guy, look around, they are all officials from the Jiangnan Department.
When these officials saw Jiang Chengxiao, they were all familiar with each other. They either praised him or admired Yunyun, which made Jiang Chengxiao stunned for a while.
When the banquet was in the middle, Xiao Dan suddenly pulled him aside.
"Your Highness, Concubine Xiao is already in the residence, and she wants to see you."
Concubine Xiao?
What did that woman want him to do?
"Does Mr. Xiao know why your mother is looking for me?" Jiang Chengxiao asked calmly.
Xiao Dan shook his head, "This old man doesn't know, you'll know when your Highness meets you."
"Okay, please ask Mr. Xiao to lead the way." Jiang Chengxiao said.
The matter has already been squeezed on the face, if Concubine Xiao is directly rejected, I am afraid it will make her feel dissatisfied with herself.
It is said that the empress in the palace does not care about world affairs now, and concubine Xiao takes care of all matters in the harem. If this woman whispers in the emperor's ear, his situation will be even worse.
Jiang Chengxiao still planned to meet Concubine Xiao for the sake of unnecessary incidents.
The two of them walked through the courtyard and came to the back room, only to see Concubine Xiao's personal servant waiting at the door, and saw Xiao Dan appear leading Jiang Chengxiao, with a look of joy on his face.
"Lord Xiao, His Royal Highness Wudu Wang, Madam has been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the door, stretching out his hand to ask Jiang Chengxiao to come in.
Concubine Xiao came here today in a low-key manner, only wearing a simple palace attire, but she couldn't resist her proud figure and inadvertent amorous feelings.
"Minister, see Concubine Xiao." Jiang Chengxiao bowed his hands.
"Exemption." Concubine Xiao's brows showed amorous feelings, and the corners of her mouth slightly pursed.
Jiang Chengxiao pretended he didn't see it, and said bluntly: "I don't know what's the matter with the lady seeing the minister?"
Currently there are only him, Xiao Dan, and Concubine Xiao in the room.
In such a scene, Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help thinking whether Concubine Xiao would have some kind of deal with him, and this deal was not ordinary.
As if to confirm his thoughts, Concubine Xiao said calmly: "I came to see Qing Que here to apologize to Qing Que on behalf of Ji'er. He is too young to do anything, and there are many problems with government affairs, which has caused Qing Que trouble."
Jiang Chengxiao made quick calculations in his mind. Obviously, the apology was just an excuse, and Concubine Xiao wanted to use the apology to test his attitude.
Test his attitude towards Jiang Yan.
When he returned to Luoyang at the beginning, Jiang Yan did not hesitate to win him over, but he didn't take it seriously. Jiang Yan is just a child, so what can he trust.
Besides, the world is about to be chaotic, so why should he waste time on a Jiang Yan.
Therefore, he never paid attention to Jiang Yan's win over.
But looking at it today, it is obviously Concubine Xiao who made Jiang Yan win him over behind his back.
This woman seems dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty is joking, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is loyal to the country, which is the blessing of the Jin family." Jiang Chengxiao replied with an official tone.
Concubine Xiao gently pinched the corner of the silk dress with her hands, she was not sure for a moment whether Jiang Chengxiao understood her words, so she gave Xiao Dan a wink.
Xiao Dan understood, and said with a slight smile: "Qing Que, we are also very sad about the Princess's marriage. The third prince is young, so he will inevitably do things recklessly. Please don't take it to heart."
Jiang Chengxiao shook his head, "Lord Xiao is serious, the third prince is a hot-blooded man, what should you take to heart, I haven't cared so much yet."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dan did not give up and began to test Jiang Chengxiao step by step, asking a lot of unnutritious nonsense.
Jiang Chengxiao's reply was also very simple, discussing the matter as it stands, never involving his own opinion on the third prince.
This made Concubine Xiao feel like a cat scratching her heart, and felt that Jiang Chengxiao was really slippery.
"Master Xiao, today is your birthday, you can't disappear for too long." Concubine Xiao reminded.
Xiao Dan immediately understood that Concubine Xiao was going to have a secret talk with Jiang Chengxiao.
"Resignation." Xiao Dan gave a salute, and then slowly retreated.
Jiang Chengxiao also wanted to follow, but Concubine Xiao's gaze was fixed on him all the time.
Jiang Chengxiao would be a fool if he didn't understand Concubine Xiao's plan by now. She wanted to serve Jiang Yan herself and support Jiang Yan in seizing the heir.
Concubine Xiao said: "Qingque, this palace and the third prince are very optimistic about you."
"Thank you for your attention." Jiang Chengxiao replied neither humble nor overbearing.
Saying this on the face, I quickly thought about countermeasures in my heart.
Obviously, this is not the attitude Concubine Xiao wants.
"Qingque, you understand what I am talking about, this is not what I want."
Concubine Xiao slowly walked across to Jiang Chengxiao, staring at him with seductive eyes, and the fragrance from her body floated into Jiang Chengxiao's nose.
For a moment, Jiang Chengxiao wanted to execute this woman on the spot and tear her palace clothes to pieces.
But reason kept him awake.
"Your Majesty, because of the prophecy, I can't protect myself now."
After thinking about it, Jiang Chengxiao still decided to confide something, otherwise Concubine Xiao would definitely not let him go today.
This time it was finally what Concubine Xiao wanted to hear.
Jiang Chengxiao didn't directly refuse, which shows that there is still a turning point in the matter.
"You don't have to worry about the prophecy, I will tell His Majesty well." Concubine Xiao immediately released her kindness.
"The minister believes in the empress, and asks the empress to give the minister some time." Jiang Chengxiao wondered.
Concubine Xiao frowned, "Qingque, are you negotiating terms with me?"
"I don't dare, it's just that I'm humble. I need to think about such a big matter. Please forgive me."
Regarding this, Concubine Xiao was noncommittal, and walked past Jiang Chengxiao to the door.
"Qingque, think about it carefully, I will open the door for you at any time."
After finishing speaking, Concubine Xiao opened the door and went out.
Jiang Chengxiao turned around slowly, watching Concubine Xiao's exquisite body disappear surrounded by all the court ladies.
"Fine, and I like that you hold the door open for me, too."
After speaking, he was amused by himself.
"Lord."
Nan Jiyun and Kuai Siyu walked in.
"My lord, Xie Yingjing has been found, and he was locked in the underground dark room." Nan Jiyun cupped his hands and said.
This visit was firstly to celebrate Xiao Dan's invitation to celebrate his birthday, and secondly to thank Yingjing.
Concubine Xiao just flew in a disaster, Jiang Chengxiao didn't expect this at all.
Now it seems that Xiao Dan should be the son who supports Concubine Xiao.
But it's normal, now that the crown prince and King Qi are neglected, the emperor puts the third prince by his side to train, and everyone thinks that the person the emperor really likes should be the third prince.
At this time, it seems that there is no major problem in standing in line with Concubine Xiao.
"How could it be locked underground?"
After leaving the room, Jiang Chengxiao asked curiously.
Nan Jiyun said: "He has become more and more violent these years, no one dares to get close to him, Xiao Dan can only lock him underground."
"No wonder my people didn't find him. That kid, he didn't take what I said back then to heart." Jiang Chengxiao murmured, and immediately said: "Find a chance, let him out and take him to Liaodong."
"This subordinate understands." Nan Jiyun said hesitantly, "But, this Xie Yingjing is not easy to control."
Jiang Chengxiao smiled lightly, "Isn't there still Sun Shichang, just let him have a look."
Even if Sun Shichang can't help it, Jiang Chengxiao doesn't care, Xie Yingjing is the best if he can subdue him, if he can't subdue him, then don't worry about him.
