Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 263 I love him

King Wen nodded and did not ask further.

Jiang Yi's eyes flashed slightly in the high seat. He had asked Jiang Sile the same question before, but he got a similar reply.

It seems that the eldest prince of Qingyi is indeed very mysterious.

No, it's better to say it's a secret than a secret. It's a premeditated secret.

King Wen and Jiang Yi remembered something at the same time. They had met the new chanyu of Qingyi once.

It was at the banquet where the Qingyi people's envoy came to ask for a marriage.

At that time, An Le was singled out for being careless in etiquette. Such a person looked like a playboy without much talent.

But no one thought that this seemingly arrogant and rude prince would actually ascend to the throne of Shanyu one day.

Jiang Yi frowned again at this time.

They always know too little about the Qingyi people.But to Qingyi, everything in Daxia seemed transparent.

We need to strengthen the defense of the capital.Jiang Yi thought so.

But on the other hand, it seems that they have to find a way to get their own spies among the Qingyi people.

As all parties pondered, the hall fell silent for a while.

After waiting for a while, King Wen spoke first: "Anle...how long will I have to stay in the capital? If I can make it in time, I will take you back on the way."

King Wen's move seemed to be a good intention, but there was also a hidden temptation in it.

Jiang Sile tapped the table with his fingertips, making a crisp sound.

"No need. Now I live in seclusion in Quanzhou and don't care about worldly affairs. I will leave Beijing tomorrow. But my eldest brother is the most sharp-edged when it comes to war, so you need to be careful."

Just as the brother and sister were quarreling with each other, Jiang Yi coughed lightly.

This dark smoke of gunpowder disappears into the invisible.

Jiang Sile tilted his head, his face slightly red, with a hint of kindness.

"By the way, when will eldest brother leave for the north?"

King Wen lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then complained after her: "It must have been in the past few days. The border is now unstable. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that your majesty's important event will be missed."

At this time, he was willing to call Jiang Yi your majesty.

Jiang Sile nodded, seeming to understand.

She waved her hand, and Chongan walked to her very carefully and put away the plates on the table.

Ever since Jiang Yi got into the bad habit of not letting people get close to him, Chong'an's workload has skyrocketed.

He follows Jiang Yi almost every day, and of course the power brought by this favor is even greater.

These are all due to Jiang Yi's trust.But even the queen in the harem was not as trustworthy as Chong'an in Jiang Yi's eyes.

After all, the queen still has a maternal clan and relatives.

As the saying goes, when a person becomes an immortal, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Now that the daughter of the family has become the queen, the queen's mother's family has become domineering in the capital for a while.

Seeing that King Wen had been reluctant to speak, Jiang Sile thought that her presence might have hindered his eldest brother.

So she hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Yi and left the palace.

Because she was leaving Beijing tomorrow, she still had a lot of things to deal with today.

Moreover, since entering the capital, things have happened one after another, and now it seems that she has not even accompanied A Yishi to see the scenery of the capital.

The time the two of them spend together seems to be limited.

……

princess mansion

Fu Sheng walked out of Princess Anhe's Mansion in despair. He looked embarrassed, and even walked unsteadily, completely different from normal.

Just now, he asked Jiang Mingchan about his guess.

He took the liberty to stare at Jiang Mingchan's face, as if he wanted to know something from it, but in the end he got nothing.

"So, is Anle? Has Anle returned to Beijing?"

Fu Sheng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning Jiang Mingchan's face, trying to find traces of lies or embarrassment.

But Jiang Mingchan was very peaceful.

She raised her hand first, and the maid who was waiting aside came to pour tea for the two of them with a blushing face.

The aroma of tea overflowed, seeming to ease the atmosphere, but it did not ease Fu Sheng's eagerness to seek answers.

Only then did Jiang Mingchan raise the corners of her mouth, her voice soft and soothing, just like the elegant strings of the lyre at the state banquet, calming all the panic.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I don't know what you are talking about."

Jiang Mingchan's dark eyes were extremely clear, and when she looked at Fu Sheng, there was still a hint of caring and love.

This made Fu Sheng unable to doubt, and he almost wiped out any doubts in his heart.

But this matter concerns Princess Anle, which is why Fu Sheng can never compromise.

His tone became sharp and aggressive.

"Really? Where do the Qingyi people guarded by the princess' mansion come from? Why does the princess bother to do these things?"

Fu Sheng's dark eyes seemed to want to see through all the lies and hypocrisy. He wanted it too much, wanted affirmation so much.

Even if...

Even if it’s just to meet again...

Even if... at least let him take a look at An Le, as long as he knows An Le's current situation, he can go there safely... An Ran will continue to pretend that he doesn't care, and continue to be the dandy who hangs out in restaurants.

Because of this obsession that arose from nowhere, Fu Sheng stared at Jiang Mingchan, unwilling to blink again.

But the one who answered him was Princess Anhe, who was completely natural, with no hint of pretense in her words.

"Prince?" Jiang Mingchan looked surprised at first, then smiled kindly and softened his voice and said: "You know it too. Alas, it's all because the prince is kind-hearted. I saw the people from the Ministry of Rites being suppressed aggressively by Qingyi's envoys. He was standing there and making threats."

"You also know that the capital has been very unfriendly to those Qingyi people recently. The prince-in-law stopped the Qingyi envoy. It happened that a Northland caravan with a Qingyi noble as the backing was heading south. The prince-in-law asked the guards in the mansion to Please stay with me to avoid being tricked by others."

"Alas, the capital has not been peaceful recently. The prince should be careful when traveling. It is best to bring guards and servants with you..."

Fu Sheng could no longer hear clearly what Princess An and said at the end.He left Princess Anle's Mansion in a panic.

Maybe the princess's disguise was indeed flawless, or maybe he had thought wrong in the first place. How could it be possible?How could Anle return to Kyoto?

Ah……

Fu Sheng felt that this was like God laughing at him.

Maybe I am too delusional.

Fu Sheng was walking down the street in despair, and a simple carriage passed by.

He didn't realize that the person in the carriage was lifting the curtains, revealing his beautiful face.

And this person seems to be the Princess Anle he has longed for, now Jiang Sile.

Jiang Sile didn't notice that the pedestrian on the road was Fu Sheng, whom he had met several times before.

The two people just missed each other so close, as if nothing happened.

...When they left, Jiang Sile and his group still followed the caravan, but it was not the small caravan they came with.

Jiang Sile also contacted that group of people, but unfortunately, their recent merchant transport team had left a few days ago.The person in charge was also very apologetic and found a caravan for them that happened to be going south at this time.

So Jiang Sile discussed with the steward of the new caravan to join their team tomorrow and leave Kyoto together.

Since the departure had gone very smoothly, Jiang Sile was very happy to take Ayi with him, and the two of them walked around Kyoto.

Although Princess Anle has lived in Kyoto most of her life since she was a child, she rarely leaves the palace.In her memory, Jiang Sile did not find a few suitable shops.

As for Jiang Sile herself, she has basically never wandered around the capital.

All in all, Jiang Sile's own understanding of Kyoto was not as good as A Yishi's experience in wandering around these days.

In the end, it was Ayi who pulled her and took her around in places in the capital that he found interesting. It was not until late at night that the two of them took advantage of the situation.

When Jiang Sile returned to the princess mansion, he met Jiang Mingchan, whom he had been waiting for for a long time today.

Jiang Mingchan came to Jiang Sile this time for two things.

The first thing is that she is about to leave the capital.

As the eldest sister, Jiang Mingchan also politely prepared a set of luggage for Jiang Sile.

Regarding these, Jiang Sile was very embarrassed to obey.

Just like that, she was sitting on the chair with her eyes wide open, her feet dangling below her.I want to hear what else Jiang Mingchan has to do.

Jiang Mingchan paused hesitantly.

Then he said hesitantly: "Today, Prince Fu Sheng came to the mansion..."

Fu Sheng?

Jiang Sile was stunned at first.

It seemed that this name had not been mentioned in his ears for a long time.

Jiang Sile wasted some time before he remembered this person.

Oh, that man.

The one who always follows Jiang Yi.No wonder I feel like something is missing these days?
Jiang Sile thought in hindsight.

But she didn't show it on her face, she just blinked her eyes, as if she wanted to hear Jiang Mingchan continue talking.

Jiang Mingchan was stunned by Jiang Sile's reaction. She originally knew and even guessed An Le's thoughts, but now, she was completely unsure of such a sister's temperament, and she couldn't even imagine what An Le was thinking.

This made Jiang Mingchan suddenly feel frustrated.

But she still cheered up and said: "He asked you if you came to the capital and wanted to see you. Although I have covered it up now, I don't know how long I can hide it."

Jiang Mingchan looked at Jiang Sile with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, but she finally spoke, her voice carrying a sense of vicissitudes of life, and also a bit of tenderness.

"If you want to see him, go ahead..."

Facing Jiang Mingchan's encouragement, Jiang Sile curled his lips and raised his shoulders, looking casual and unconcerned.

"You're worrying too much. It won't be possible between me and him."

Jiang Sile's words were as calm as the edge of a sword, cold yet rational.

Such words awakened Jiang Mingchan and pushed her towards reality.

She glanced at An Le, who had changed so much now, with complicated eyes.

Indifferent, alienated, indifferent to everything.

The peace and happiness I once had was not like this...

Sure enough, going to Qingyi to get married had a huge impact on her.

From the pampered princess she used to be, she has become the cold and sharp sister she is now.

Jiang Mingchan already couldn't recognize Anle.

But...it seems...she is also one of the driving forces that turned Anle into this.

Just when Jiang Mingchan had mixed feelings in her heart and could hardly hide her inner feelings, Jiang Sile glanced at her and said,

"That's not what I meant..." Jiang Sile rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, and his voice became increasingly cold and magnetic, unexpectedly very charming.

"It's just that now - I already have a sweetheart."

When Jiang Sile said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he smiled.

That smile seemed to alleviate the alienation caused by the angular, arrogant face and cold words.

In Jiang Mingchan's eyes, Jiang Sile was like a flower that suddenly bloomed at that moment. Only the dazzling beauty of this moment made people feel that the previous indifference was not important.

"Oh, you've seen it too. He's the tallest among the group of people - his name is Ayi Shi."

Jiang Sile's eyes turned slightly, with a hint of unfathomable shyness in the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Mingchan was stunned by this news and began to recall the people he had met that day.

Tall...

"Qingyi people?" Jiang Mingchan raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Sile, with a bit of surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

Jiang Sile nodded nonchalantly.

She had no intention of talking about her affairs to this group of unfamiliar relatives.

But it seemed that she was too happy today, which made her want to convey her joy to others.

Jiang Mingchan didn't speak for a long time. She opened her mouth, wondering what to say.

Use the three cardinal principles and five constant principles to discipline your sister?

No, Jiang Mingchan is not that stubborn yet.

Want to ask more?
Well, Jiang Mingchan himself is a person with a very sense of proportion.She usually doesn't bother to pry into other people's private affairs.What's more, this other person is still her sister who has something to lose.

"He...is he good to you?"

When Jiang Sile was already bored and wanted to leave, Jiang Mingchan suddenly looked at her and said softly.

Her voice was soft, just like the gentle mother's voice that everyone remembered.

Jiang Sile evoked a smile, his brows were bright, and his smile was relaxed and happy.

"It's good. He's nice and he's nice to me."

When Jiang Mingchan met Jiang Sile's eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and a smile appeared on her face.

That's good.Jiang Mingchan replied in his heart.

After Jiang Sile had left, Jiang Mingchan still didn't recover for a long time.

She put her hand on her heart, which was beating fast.

Once upon a time, Jiang Mingchan also felt guilty when she put all the responsibilities of being a princess on Anle.

Although she knew that she had done nothing wrong.

It was my father who made a mistake.

It was the father who disregarded ethics and even wanted to make the couple reasonable.

But Jiang Mingchan knew that everything he did was just for himself.
