King Duan was not born as the eldest son, he was two years older than the present crown prince.

Because the mother concubine Zhao Guifei was favored by the emperor, he, the prince, was valued by the emperor.

Later, the two brothers who were slightly older than him had different intentions and chaos, and ended in a miserable end.Immediately afterwards, the queen's third son, who is now the prince, was promoted to the position of prince.

But because of the fate of the two older brothers, the prince has always been cowardly and dare not do anything. In addition, he was born stupid, and the position of the crown prince has been trembling all these years.

At the same time, King Duan has gradually shown his talent in governing the country. Compared with the two, he is naturally more favored by the emperor.

Now, behind him is first supported by the Zhao family, who is in an important position in Juzhong Shuling, and later asked to marry the eldest daughter of the Cui family.

Even if the Cui family is not very close to him on the surface, but with this in-law, he will naturally benefit a little more when he fights with the crown prince.

But He Lingjiang was not very optimistic about him.

From what happened at Lanyinguan years ago to now, although this King Duan can stand up better than the crown prince, he is not the face of a wise king.

As for the other princes, they are either still young, or their mother clan is too weak to fight.

He Lingjiang couldn't help but have a headache, she didn't intend to get involved in the reserve position battle, but since she entered this game, she had to think carefully.

Now that Xifan is eyeing him covetously, whether it is for the He family or for the great world, it is the best choice to choose Mingjun and serve him.

It's a pity that she hasn't been able to find such a future master of this huge royal family.

Could it be that he had to settle for the next best thing?
She definitely wants to get rid of Yongmu, and now the crown prince is very dependent on her, if she wants to do something, it will be much more convenient for her to get things done through Prince Duan.

In this way, it is no different from supporting King Duan.

He Lingjiang and He Xiangshan were still in the midst of a balance, and early in the morning of the second day, people from the Zhao family came to the door to present a thank you gift.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the gift giver entered through the side door.

Different from ordinary people's jade antiques and silk silks, a large box was filled to the brim, but what the Zhao family sent was only a small wooden box.

The steward of the Zhao family bowed slightly, holding the wooden box in both hands and handing it to He Lingjiang's father and daughter: "He Zhongcheng, Mrs. He Qi, this is a gift specially prepared by my Patriarch for what happened yesterday, and I hope you two will accept it."

He Lingjiang slightly raised his eyebrows, opened the wooden box, and saw a few pieces of paper neatly arranged inside.

She stretched out her hand to take it out, and glanced at it. It was a land deed, and it was all land within Yingdu.

"What does Mr. Zhao mean?" He Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.

The steward of Zhao's family smiled and said: "The head of the house carefully selected this one, and the locations are all first-class. I hope Mrs. He Qin likes it."

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, she asked Zhao Ying to apologize yesterday, but she was just deliberately trying to save his face, and as for the thank you gift that came to her door, she thought it was just a show.

Unexpectedly, he shot so generously.

Of these two houses, which one should not be worth tens of thousands?
This Zhao family was born in a common family, and it only took off when Concubine Zhao was born, and it has only been thirty years since then. Although it has accumulated a lot of family property during this period, it is far from the family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

But now, with a wave of his hand, he easily gave away two mansions with every inch of land and every inch of gold. Although Wang Duan intended to win over the He family, it can be seen that the Zhao family has spent a lot of money on him for so many years. Put things in the bag.

He Lingjiang put the land deed into the box, and said in a bleak way: "Then thank Mr. Zhao."

"Please go back and tell Mr. Xie that the housekeeper is not a grudger. Now that the gift of thanks has been received, I have seen Mr. Zhao's apology and thanks. They are indeed sincere. In this way, what happened yesterday will be completely resolved." It's over. After that, the He and Zhao families will not mention it again."

After finishing speaking, she signaled Qiong Zhi to come forward and take the wooden box.

The steward of the Zhao family was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, but before he could react, his hands were empty.

That's it?

The head of the family had told him before that this time of courtesy was also a temptation.

If the He family didn't want to stand at King Duan's side, they would not dare to accept such a generous gift in order to avoid being caught off guard.

But if he accepts it calmly and responds, that is to show his attitude.

But what happened to Mrs. He Qi's words?

It's completely over, don't mention it anymore?
She never said a word about what happened yesterday, but she didn't say a word about Patriarch's wishes. How should he explain when he goes back?
The steward of the Zhao family opened his mouth to ask, but he saw that He Lingjiang had already waved his sleeves: "Send the steward of the Zhao family out of the house."

Immediately afterwards, a tall, dark-skinned servant girl beside her came to him: "Guan Zhao, please."

Before he could move, he felt himself being held by the maidservant's arms, and he just "invited" him out.

He Xiangshan looked at He Lingjiang drinking tea leisurely, and sighed softly: "Ling Jiang, you accepted the Zhao family's gift, but you have made up your mind?"

He Lingjiang shook his head honestly: "No."

"Then you still act like this!" He Xiangshan couldn't help but feel helpless.

He Lingjiang smiled: "Although the house is expensive, Grandpa thinks that the reputation of Mrs. Zhao San, as well as the fact that the Zhao family and Prince Duan's mansion are protected from attacks by the prince's party, are not worth two houses?"

"If he comes to thank you sincerely, I will accept these two houses with a clear conscience."

"You have a clear conscience, but you also know that Zhao Ying has ulterior motives for this gift. You didn't intend to stand with King Duan, but if you accept it like this now, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings and offend people." He Xiangshan said .

He Lingjiang nodded slightly: "What Grandfather said is true, but my daughter doesn't intend to push Duan Wang's side too far. The blurred boundary is just right."

"Hey!" He Xiangshan sighed softly, he naturally understood what Ling Jiang meant, whether it was the crown prince or Prince Duan, the He family had better not get involved.

But since Jiang said that Princess Yongmu is a member of the Jingu Palace and must be eliminated, they will naturally leave room for maneuver when facing King Duan.

"You, it's better to be careful, don't let those people figure it out."

"Save it, daughter." He Lingjiang blinked and said, "What's more, isn't there still Grandpa watching from the side?"

He Xiangshan doesn't look like a mountain, but his patriarch for so many years is not for nothing. He Lingjiang has a lot of means, but it is inevitable that there are things that he can't take care of. He needs to point out this from the side to avoid worries. .

Seeing her completely carefree appearance, He Xiangshan couldn't help but smile, no matter what, Ling Jiang's work is always reassuring, as a grandpa, he just listens to her.

He Lingjiang went back to his yard, changed his clothes, and was about to go to Buyuansi again, when he saw Qingzhu came in with a post: "Seventh lady, someone from Taiqingguan sent a post."

"Taiqingguan?" He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, and then he thought of someone.
