Luan's return today

Chapter 16

Seeing that Jiang Yue's matter had been settled, the emperor stopped repeating it and mentioned another matter that had been in his mind for a long time.

"Chu Yao, the eldest son of Pingnan Prince's Mansion, has returned to the capital. I have the intention to introduce him into the court. What do you think?"

All the officials in the court looked happy and kept looking around, as if analyzing who was the most powerful competitor.

Among them, many courtiers exchanged winks, expressing mutual help.

Jiang Yue was a little surprised when she heard the words. She didn't expect what Chu Yao said was true. He really wanted to be an official?
Looking around, scanning the expressions of the courtiers, Jiang Yue already understood their thoughts, that is, she wanted to draw Chu Yao into her camp.

No need to think about it, she also knew the reason for this, she just wanted to take advantage of the Pingnan Palace and take the opportunity to give herself some convenience.

Although it is said that people take tea to cool down, King Pingnan is not an ordinary person after all, and most of the people in the court have more or less received his favor.

Therefore, even though King Pingnan has retired, his remaining prestige is still there, stomping his feet can shake the capital three times, how can everyone not treat him a little less.

Besides Jiang Yue, the emperor was also watching coldly.

The emperor had no intention of following their ideas, he just wanted to see clearly the positions and camps of the various courtiers through this matter.

As for Chu Yao's position, he had already made arrangements in his mind.

When the courtiers were arguing endlessly, the emperor deliberately rubbed his brows, and opened his mouth slowly with a look of difficulty in making a choice.

"Since you haven't come to a conclusion, in my opinion, the Commander of Jinyiwei has been vacant for a long time, why not just this."

The courtiers' quarreling stopped suddenly.

Jin Yiwei?
That is an existence that can monitor hundreds of officials.

Everyone wanted to arrange their own people in, but it was vacant for a long time, and the court recommended many people, but none of them got the approval of the emperor. Unexpectedly, Chu Yao took advantage of it in the end.

"Eunuch Li, go and announce the decree. By the way, clear out the Pingnan Palace. The old house should be returned to the old man."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the courtiers instantly woke up. The imperial decree had already been written. Obviously, this was not a coincidence at all, but a long-planned plan. Just now, the emperor was only probing their attitudes.

All the ministers also understood that Chu Yao could only be used by the emperor in the future, and they had to be more careful in their actions in the future.

After seeing such a scene, Jiang Yue suddenly realized that she seemed to understand the purpose of Chu Yao's return to Beijing.

The next day, at dawn, Jiang Yue, dressed in men's attire, opened the gate of the courtyard, and was about to get up in the morning to practice swords.

"The county lord."

He suddenly heard someone calling her, and when he looked up, he saw Qingyu standing at the gate of her courtyard. Seeing her trembling all over, she must have been standing in the cool wind for a long time.

Although it is early summer at this time, the weather is still a bit cool in the morning and evening.

Jiang Yue was deeply surprised. She had formed a habit over the past few years because she needed to sleep in the military camp, but why did Aunt Qing get up so early?It was as if he was here waiting for her.

She hurriedly invited Qingyu into the room, made her a pot of hot tea, and handed it to Qingyu's hands to warm her body.

Qingyu hastily declined, "Princess, Qingyu is just a servant, there is no reason for the princess to pour the tea herself, the servant can do it herself."

After she finished speaking, she poured herself a cup of tea and held it in her palm, thinking about how to speak in her mind.

"Aunt Qing, don't call yourself a slave, Jiang Yue has long regarded you as her relative."

Jiang Yue sighed and said this thing no less than ten times. Although Aunt Qing was her mother's maid before, logically she is indeed the master.

But she took care of herself from childhood to adulthood. From the beginning to the end, she regarded Qingyu as her relatives, but Qingyu always respected the difference between master and servant, and Jiang Yue was also very helpless.

Seeing that Qingyu didn't answer the words, her expression was sluggish, her head was lowered, and she hesitated to speak several times, as if she had something to say, Jiang Yue took the initiative to speak.

"Aunt Qing, but what do you want to say?"

After hesitating for a while, Qingyu finally made up her mind, "Princess, in fact, Qingyu is just a slave and has no right to interfere with the decision of the princess, but after much deliberation, Qingyu still thinks that the princess should not be an official in the court."

"Besides, the first thing to do is to control the flood. Qingyu heard that such a natural disaster and man-made disaster will definitely cause riots among the people, which is very dangerous."

"Princess, why don't you go? Although Ningguohou's mansion has divorced, the princess can rest assured that Qingyu will help you find someone who is thousands of times better than Shen Xuan."

"Pfft-"

When Jiang Yue heard this, she spouted out a mouthful of tea, maybe Aunt Qing thought she chose this path because of Shen Xuan.

"Aunt Qing, I didn't want to become the first female official from the country because of Shen Xuan, and don't even think about proposing to me. I want to go this way, just because I think someone should change the world."

Jiang Yue's expression was serious, and her words were extremely serious, with a sense of coercion and force majeure.

"People can't always live step by step, just like a lifeless puppet. People should have their own ideals and ambitions, and my ambition is to benefit the people."

Seeing that Qingyu was at a loss, Jiang Yue knew that she would not understand herself, but this was what she had to do.

"Can……"

Jiang Yue saw that Qingyu was still trying to persuade herself, but she simply didn't let Qingyu speak out.

"Aunt Qing, I've made up my mind, so don't waste your words." Seeing that it was bright outside, and thinking that he had to go to the store to buy a topographic map of the south of the Yangtze River, he got up and said, "Aunt Qing, warm up in your room first. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Qingyu knew that Jiang Yue was stubborn since she was a child, so she didn't hold much hope in this persuasion, she just came to find out what she said, but seeing the determination on Jiang Yue's face, she also knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

She walked towards the ancestral hall dejectedly, hoping that Miss Quanxia would know and bless the princess for a smooth trip.

When Jiang Yue stepped out of the mansion, she saw Chu Yao coming towards her. She had already changed into the court uniform of the commander of Jin Yiwei. Her peach blossom eyes were still attractive, but her whole body was less of a playful temperament and more serious.

"Jiang Yue."

In Jiang Yue's impression, this was the first time that Chu Yao called her by her name in a serious manner. In the past, she was called "little lady", "little beauty" or "hey" directly.

It was rare for Jiang Yue to see him being serious, so she couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Master Chu? The upstart of the imperial court is free to come to my place?"

Jiang Yue Qingyang's ending made Chu Yao feel so ashamed that his face turned slightly hot, and the roots of his ears turned red.

Chu Yao knew in his heart that the matter of Pingnan Palace could not be hidden from Jiang Yue.

After the imperial decree was issued yesterday, the gate of Pingnan Palace was reopened, and most of the officials came to congratulate him one after another.

What surprised Chu Yao was not their hospitality, but the congratulatory gifts they sent to their door.
