Chapter 185 An Assassination Six Years Ago

An assassination six years ago?
Jiang Qingyu didn't seem to be impressed.

Although the Jiang family behind the second elder brother Jiang Qingjian had always wanted to kill him to solve future troubles, he stayed behind closed doors all year round, and the palace was heavily guarded, so he hardly encountered any assassins.

Even with...

It will also be quietly captured by the hidden guards ambushing in Ziyanyuan.

"It seems that the son has no impression!"

Only Xiaoman asked with a smile:

"So……"

"Do you remember Nanny Li's granddaughter? The little girl with a red-haired parrot and a dirty face?"

Hearing such a reminder, Jiang Qingyu immediately remembered:

"Yes, is it you?"

Xiaoman lay on Jiang Qingyu's shoulder, and gave a soft "hmm":
"That time, I pretended to be the granddaughter of Madam Li in the palace, and according to the plan, let a wounded parrot fall into the Ziyan courtyard."

"I have heard about the young master's lethargy for a long time, so I deliberately chose the time of dusk. When I entered the courtyard, the young master was feeding the fish with sister Li Chun by the pond."

"The parrot fell into the pool. I begged my lord to let me in and let me go into the water to rescue the parrot, but Miss Lichun ruthlessly refused!"

Jiang Qingyu laughed:
"I remember, and then you started crying because of grievances, and kept wiping your face with your hands, with snot, tears and mud, it was ugly!"

"certainly not!"

Xiaoman insisted:
"Young master made a mistake!"

"I thought the young master would let me in, or come out to comfort me, then I could assassinate you, but..."

"I didn't expect that the notorious young master would take off his coat and jump into the pool to rescue the parrot himself."

Jiang Qingyu smiled helplessly:
"It's such a cold day, we can't let you and the two girls Lichun go into the water, can we?"

"If word of this gets out, I'll be called a real idiot!"

Xiaoman blamed himself:
"But later I heard people say that the son got sick because of the cold in the water that day, and he lay on the bed for more than a month before he recovered!"

Jiang Qingyu looked puzzled:
"Who told you that?"

"I don't seem to remember being sick?"

"in addition……"

"Even if it was an assassination, when I handed the parrot into your hands, why didn't you seize the opportunity to do it?"

He frowned slightly, carefully recalling the events of that day, and he didn't seem to notice any murderous intent on the little girl at that time.

otherwise……

She will definitely not be able to get out of the royal city alive.

Xiaoman whispered softly:

"Later, the young master not only handed the cleaned parrot to my hand, but also helped me wipe the tears and mud off my face with his coat."

"Seeing that I was still crying, I took a bunch of candied haws from the room to coax me not to cry."

"Since then, I feel that the young master is a good person, maybe, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

Jiang Qingyu asked curiously.

Xiaoman buried her head in Jiang Qingyu's chest, her voice was low and inaudible:

"Maybe it's worth entrusting for a lifetime."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was silent for a while, and asked a question that spoiled the atmosphere:

"Isn't it a bit sloppy?"

Grab a parrot and send candied haws to make people fall in love at first sight...

A ten-year-old girl is too easy to deceive, right?
Xiaoman explained in a low voice:
"Didn't you just ask me why I gave up the assassination?"

"Actually, I wanted to teach you a lesson that day, to make you suffer, not to take your life."

"I want to teach you a lesson because, because..."

She paused for a moment, and said surprisingly:

"It's because my father and the prince made a marriage contract for me and the son!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was stunned.

how……

Another engagement!

Didn't the father just say that he has already arranged a marriage contract for himself in the capital, the other party is well educated, comes from a scholarly family, and his father is even a high official in the court...

Why did Huamanlou suddenly have a fiancée?

In the past 19 years, how many marriages have been arranged without knowing it?

Isn't the father afraid of a fire in his backyard?

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu's expression was very strange.

But the little girl buried her head in her chest and didn't notice this, she just said to herself:

"At that time, the son's reputation was not good, and I was fed up with being arranged by others, so when I learned about the engagement, I made a fuss and refused to agree. When the prince saw it, he took the initiative to make a bet with me."

"He said that since I am a killer, I might as well assassinate the young master as a killer."

"If the assassination is successful and the young master is wounded and bleeding, then the marriage contract will be over. If I fail in the end, then I will try to accept the marriage contract."

"That time I missed."

"So, after I turned 16 years old, the prince arranged for me to enter the Ziyan Courtyard and become the son's personal maid, so as to cultivate my relationship."

"After becoming a servant girl, my son and I got closer and closer. I thought I could live a carefree life for a while, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later."

Xiaoman looked up at Jiang Qingyu, and smiled playfully:
"But no matter what happens, I want to always be by your side and support you!"

"If you want to be an idle son, I will accompany you to feed fish and enjoy flowers, and protect you from all external wind and rain. If you want to be a prince and a prince, I will help you win the winter hunting leader and subdue Beidi."

Jiang Qingyu rubbed the little girl's head, and said softly:

"You..."

"Just stay by my side obediently for the rest of your life."

"If you are afraid of being bored, I will buy the entire Jingshui Pavilion in Chu State, and hire a group of talented men and women to write novels for you every day!"

Xiaoman smiled:
"Okay!"

"By the way, son, do you still remember the red-haired parrot back then?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded and said:

"Remember, six years ago, that red-haired parrot didn't know how to speak human words, and there was only one word in it—"

"Humph!"

"Even when I rescued it from the pool, it was still humming non-stop. It was so arrogant that I was so angry that I wanted to throw it into the water for a while longer!"

"you dare!"

Xiaoman snorted softly:
"My lord, that red-haired parrot is named Xiao Hong, you mustn't underestimate it, it can talk a lot now! And it just hatched a litter of parrots."

"Son..."

"When we go back, let's build a nest for them in Ziyanyuan, okay?"

Jiang Qingyu rested her chin on the opponent's head, and promised in a low voice:

"it is good."

Xiaoman took the other's hand, squeezed it lightly, and changed into a somewhat questioning tone:
"Son..."

"I heard that you have two more beautiful concubines, each of whom can play the piano well?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu hurriedly explained:
"Nothing! They are actually..."

But before he finished speaking, Xiaoman interrupted again:
"It's okay, I don't mind sharing the prince with others, but the other party must get my approval! For example..."

"Sister Lichun is fine."

"Sister Lichun has always wanted to put on the python robe for you personally. If you learn that you have won the winter hunting leader and become the prince of the palace, you will be very happy."

Jiang Qingyu sighed softly, and couldn't help but see the beautiful woman who had lived with him for 12 years and liked to wear red clothes.

"Young master, it's snowing."

Xiaoman reached out to catch a few snowflakes:

"The day Miss Lichun left, it was also snowing!"

"My lord, after the beginning of spring, take me to the capital together, and bring Sister Lichun back to the palace, okay?"

Jiang Qingyu held each other's hand tightly and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

……

Behind the two, Nuluo couldn't help sighing when she saw this scene.

Alas, the women's college is not in the middle!

This has not yet passed the door, it is so humble!

"Brother, it's true. When did you make an engagement with the prince? Why didn't you discuss it with us?"

"I just hope this kid can treat the girl well, otherwise..."

"I will never spare him lightly!"

Say it.

Nuluo looked around again.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes kept ringing, and troops with different banners arrived as scheduled.

Tuoba clan, Qiyan clan, Baoluo clan, Utuo clan...

In addition to the people from the eight major tribes of Beidi, Jiang Qingyu's other two opponents in this winter hunt, Jiang Qingzhu and Jiang Qingjian, also led their respective remnants to arrive.

Including An Beijun, who was in charge of monitoring the two, couldn't help but walk up to the people and join in the fun.

Everyone stared at a man and a woman snuggling up in the snow with different expressions.

If everyone saw this scene before the Winter Hunting Competition, they would definitely be unable to help scolding Jiang Qingyu for wanton enjoyment and unbearable cultivation.

But now, I can only sigh with emotion:
What a waste of youth!
This point does not love the country and loves the beautiful, but it is quite similar to his father, the King of the North.

"My lord, it's time to talk about business."

Stared at by tens of thousands of people, Xiaoman blushed, hurriedly left his son's arms, and tried to take his hand out of his grasp.

But was caught by Jiang Qingyu:
"No hurry, let them wait a little longer."

"This is my first time watching the sunrise with you, my lord, no one is allowed to disturb you!"
