Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 34 Dependency
Jiang Chenqi bit the bullet and wanted to go on the road of treacherous officials arranged by the emperor.In the past, I thought it was good to share Shen Yan's worries, but now I think she should cherish herself more. The emperor has beauties in the harem who love her, so she doesn't need the love of a treacherous minister.

Looking up at the beams of the room, Jiang Chenqi said in a disappointed tone: "It doesn't matter if you become a treacherous official who is spurned by everyone, and you will be stigmatized for thousands of years. I am an orphan anyway. Their disgust will not make my relatives ashamed. I have been given the opportunity to learn martial arts by the emperor's favor. The opportunity to grow up, even if the emperor asks me to go to a neighboring country to be a spy, I am willing, this is my life, like a weed."

Xu Miaoyu burst into tears and used her brain to think of a way, "Commander Jiang, don't give up on yourself. If you give up on yourself, no one can save you. You have to cheer up."

Liu Suiyue cheered for Commander Jiang, and hoped that Jiang Chenqi would not continue to be obsessed with the emperor, because she didn't see that the emperor had feelings for Jiang Chenqi.But whoever likes something, how can he be willing to punish the person he likes.

Jiang Yuyou sent the two warm-hearted girls away, holding a basket for Jiang Chenqi to see, "Ms. Xu sent good medicinal materials from last year, as well as healing ointments, and Ms. Liu sent delicious pastries."

Jiang Chenqi also welcomed the two girls who came to the door empty-handed, and asked Jiang Yuyou to put away the gift, "The two girls are kind people, and their performance shows that Master's teachings are useful. I listened carefully to Master's teachings, and maybe more people will appreciate them." I changed my mind."

The news of Commander Jiang's punishment reached the Hou Mansion, Xie Jinghuai wished he could fly to Jiang Chenqi's side immediately, but it was not dark yet, so he couldn't go out openly.

Lin Feng felt that the emperor did something wrong, so he punished Jiang Chenqi for the sake of his reputation, "The emperor is always like this. He entrusts Commander Jiang to embarrass others. When the people complain a lot, the emperor punishes Commander Jiang to quell the complaints, and then he gets the title of Mingjun."

I don't think it's a big deal to be punished. If Jiang Chenqi was punished, Xie Jinghuai couldn't accept it, and he clenched his fist unconsciously, "He is really the number one hypocrite in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He can put on airs better than anyone else. If it wasn't for Jiang Chenqi's bold detainment of Yao Shangshu's family, it would be impossible for him to go to Dali Temple." It doesn't matter how many people will live, your majesty is not magnanimous."

Xie Jinghuai, who was worried, asked the housekeeper to prepare a gift, and waited anxiously for the night to fall.

When it gets dark, the moon hangs alone in the sky, red lanterns are hung on the street, and pedestrians are talking and laughing while walking on the road.

Sitting under the eaves, Jiang Chenqi was blowing the wind, looking up at the white crescent moon, feeling lonely for some reason.

There is an extra energetic Jiang Yuyou beside her, and she also knows several kind-hearted girls from Xu Miaoyu. She, who is used to being lonely, actually knows what it feels like to be lonely.

Xie Jinghuai leaned on the wall and smiled at Jiang Chenqi, "I'm worried that you will come and take a look, are you okay?"

Jumping into the yard, Xie Jinghuai went into the house to find a stool, sat next to Jiang Chenqi, put down the package and took out the food box, "I asked the cook to make spring rolls, if you are not happy, eat something, maybe you will feel better."

Eating the spring rolls quietly, Jiang Chenqi couldn't express her thanks, but she was grateful to Lord Hou for his concern.There are few people who give charcoal in the snow, and everyone is worthy of her cherishment.

After eating a few spring rolls, Jiang Chenqi took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands, speaking in a flat tone, "The emperor and I are changing, I dare to deceive you to secretly help Yao Shangshu who offended the emperor, the emperor has become cold, he was not before This kind of people."

When I first met Shen Yan, he was a warm prince.

Shen Yan took care of her patiently and helped her out of the haze of losing her family. They had been with each other for eight years.She thought she could rely on Shen Yan, but in the end it was just her belief.

Opening the water bag and handing it to Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai agrees with Commander Jiang's words, "Everyone will change, there are no people and things that remain the same. Back then, the emperor tried his best to let you become the commander of the Beiya imperial army. I and a group of officials felt that it was inappropriate. , worrying that you are a troublesome woman."

Before returning to Beijing, he had a prejudice against Commander Jiang. When he was marching and fighting outside, the news from the capital said that Commander Jiang had done something dark.Therefore, he thinks that Jiang Chenqi is a villain who tends to power, and villains do not distinguish between men and women.

It was only when Xie Jinghuai came back to Beijing to have a close contact with Jiang Chenqi that the rumors were wrong.Jiang Chenqi is obviously the kindest girl in the whole capital, not the cold-blooded treacherous minister that outsiders say.

I thought about being a confidante before, but the emperor didn't give me the chance at all. She took a sip of water and found it was honey water. Jiang Chenqi laughed at herself, "Maybe outsiders won't believe me if I say it. I have always kept a distance from the emperor. I have never even held the emperor's hand. .”

"If I were a treacherous minister who was flattered by outsiders, I would have made a way to become a concubine. Unfortunately, the emperor always finds excuses and refuses my advances. He is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. We have been together for a long time, and we have no chance to get together naturally. "

What the hell? How could Jiang Chenqi marry Shen Yan? Shen Yan is a ruthless hypocrite, whoever marries him will be unlucky.

Xie Jinghuai thought that he could not lose to Shen Yan in all aspects, and hoped that Jiang Chenqi would turn his attention to him.

"You were still young when you met the emperor. It's normal to rely on people who help you. That's just dependence, not love. If you like the emperor, you will try to marry him. How can you be willing to be a courtier? Dependence is not the same as liking. Commander Jiang is A wise man will know the difference."

Master Hou's words made sense, and Jiang Chenqi was also reflecting on what her feelings for Shen Yan were recently.Is it dependence and gratitude, or a woman's love for a man.

After receiving the beef jerky handed over by Master Hou, Jiang Chenqi ate the beef jerky slowly, thought for a while and said seriously: "You are right about the difference between dependence and liking. I am not too sad to see more concubines in the harem. It seems that the emperor Let me first say that I will be named, I am foolishly willing to share the emperor's worries, and I became the commander of the Beiya imperial army in a daze."

After becoming an official, the pressure and reputation deteriorated, and the relationship between Jiang Chenqi and the emperor became increasingly estranged, and she lost the closeness she used to have.

They used to have a good chat together, and she was able to crack a joke occasionally.Now in front of Shen Yan, only the etiquette of a courtier remains.

Feeling sorry for Jiang Chenqi being fooled by the emperor, Xie Jinghuai encouraged Jiang Chenqi to let go of her unreliable dependence, "It is better to rely on me than to rely on a hypocrite emperor. I am more reliable than the emperor. Commander Jiang can go out to inquire if you don't believe me. General."

Hou Ye has no wife or concubine room, so it stands to reason that his status does not worry about marrying a wife, Jiang Chenqi asked with a smile: "Does Hou Ye have no idea of ​​marrying a wife? There are many girls who want to marry you. Marrying you can make you beautiful Madam Hou."

Smiling and shaking his head, Xie Jinghuai gave his reasons, "I want to find a wife who is like me, and only one wife is enough. Many women in the back house are restless. My father only married my mother, and they lived together with each other. Happy little days. I envy them for being together, and I think it is a wonderful thing to be with my lover for the rest of my life."
