The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 109 Extra: Jiang Zong Chapter [-]

Jiang Zong did not expect that the vacant position of Minister of Household Affairs would fall to him.

The emperor must have been nepotistic towards his nephew for the sake of his father, King Xuan.

But with such a promotion, he is bound to be hated by others, not to mention that he really thinks that he is not capable enough.

Jiang Zong went to see the emperor specially: "Your Majesty, I am not qualified for the position of minister."

"you can."

"I have only been in the household department for two months, and I am still unfamiliar with many affairs. I may not be able to convince the public as a minister."

Shen Xiao said: "No matter who becomes this minister, there will be people who are dissatisfied at first, so you have to rely on your own ability to convince everyone in the household department."

This sentence convinced Jiang Zong.
-
Jiang Zong found that he kept running into the eldest princess Shen Yi recently.

Until one day he was knocked unconscious and woke up to find Shen Yi disheveled and crying on the bed.

Jiang Zong rolled and crawled to the ground.

"Princess! I didn't do anything, did I?!"

Shen Yi cried and said, "You bastard! I'm going to tell my father!"

Jiang Zong had a terrible headache, so he secretly discussed it with his grandfather when he got home.

Grandpa is more reasonable, and his mother is a bit fierce.

After listening to his narration, Jiang Liu was stunned for a while, and then said: "Well... why don't you go find the emperor and ask."

Jiang Zong covered his face in despair: "The emperor will kill me because I got involved with the princess..."

Even though the eldest princess Shen Yi was not valued by the emperor, the number of times she met the emperor was far less than that of a minister like him.

When the emperor had nothing to do, he called him to the imperial study to accompany him.
"...No," Jiang Liu said helplessly, "She is a princess, what can grandpa do? If we want to get married, the emperor must agree."
-
Jiang Zong was unconscious for two days until Shen Yi took the initiative to find him.

Shen Yi sat down in front of him with a cold expression and did not give him a good look: "Let's go together to ask my father for a marriage grant. If you become my consort, my reputation will be preserved, and I won't embarrass you in the future."

That's fine, so you don't have to worry anymore.

Jiang Zong agreed and boldly asked the emperor for marriage on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He was determined to die at worst.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not express his anger at all, and even believed in his character and thought there was something fishy.

Shen Yi didn't know the progress, so she asked him to visit Jinling City that night: "You go there and wait for me. The people we are going to get married need to cultivate a relationship."

Jiang Zong didn't want to go: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I want to accompany my grandpa..."

"Don't you want to take responsibility?" Shen Yi said a little arrogantly, "If you don't come, I will report you to my father for raping me."

Jiang Zong: "..."

Although the emperor believed in him, if the princess cried and made trouble, there was no guarantee of his fate.

Jiang Zong was waiting for Shen Yi at the promised place, but unexpectedly saw his mother hugging a man in the street.

How dignified! ! ! ! !

Jiang Zong shouted, and Jiang Qingyue and the masked man were startled and quickly separated.

Jiang Zong's fists were clenched.

If you hug his mother on the street, is this asking for death?

As a result, his mother said that this was his biological father.

Jiang Zong's mood immediately changed. Since he was his biological father, it was better to cultivate his relationship.
-
The agreement between Jiang Zong and Shen Yi was embarrassing.

Shen Yi didn't care about her face and came straight to hold his hand. Jiang Zong wanted to pull away.

Shen Yi said: "You proposed marriage in public, shouldn't you pretend to be in love with me?"

He had to follow suit.

When he returned to his mansion, Jiang Zong heard that his mother had brought a man home and slept in her house.

He ran outside his mother's house, got closer, and heard some muffled and unpleasant sounds.

Jiang Zong quickly covered his red face and ran away.

It seems that the old relationship between his mother and King Xuan has rekindled!
Early the next morning, Jiang Zong went to his mother's yard and saw the emperor coming out of his mother's room.

Jiang Zong was shocked beyond belief.

The man my mother brought back to bed last night couldn't be the emperor, right?

The emperor also said that it would be fine if you get used to it.

Does he have to stay there often?Jiang Qingyue leaned against the door and told Jiang Zong: "Yes, he and I have had feelings before and decided to get together."

Jiang Zong was a little broken.

As for King Xuan, yesterday his mother hugged King Xuan in the street, but ended up sleeping with the emperor.

Jiang Zong ran out in great disappointment.
-
Outside the gate of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zong met Shen Yi.

Shen Yi came to see him. Seeing that his expression was broken, her attitude became softer: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zong looked at her for a while and said, "Come on, drink with me."

They went to Xunfang Pavilion.

He didn't know how to drink at all, and he would choke to tears after one or two sips.

Jiang Zong coughed and said, "A good uncle originally coveted his younger brother's wife. Do you think this uncle is good or bad?"

Shen Yi was confused when she heard this: "Who covets whom?"

Jiang Zong couldn't say anything, so he just asked: "Princess, do you think my mother is pretty?"

"It's pretty," Shen Yi had to admit, and said thoughtfully, "Your mother looks a bit like the imperial concubine."

"The imperial concubine?"

Jiang Zong knew about the imperial concubine Liu Qingshu, but he had never met her. She almost never attended any occasions, and even avoided her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, claiming she was sick.

So his mother looks like Liu Qingshu?

Shen Yi added: "She looks just like Concubine Liu."

Jiang Zong knew Concubine Liu, the eldest prince's biological mother.

It turns out that the emperor just likes that appearance...

Jiang Zong felt that his mother might not have done it voluntarily, because the other party was the emperor, so there was no room for resistance.

But in the past, the emperor was obviously an uncle who treated him very well and was very generous...

Jiang Zong asked: "Princess, what kind of person do you think your father is?"

Shen Yi understood something.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Her father never cared for her, whether it was her birthday or illness, he never even looked at her.

Fortunately, she is the only princess, so she will not be treated harshly by the palace people.

In fact, she had too little contact with him, and others did not dare to talk about the emperor, so she had no idea what kind of person her father was.

Jiang Zong looked at her for a long time and suddenly asked: "Why me?"

Shen Yi was stunned: "Why?"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Jiang Zong didn't want to expose her, so he just drank the wine she gave him and sighed, "Princess, it's not easy for you either."
-
The next day, Jiang Zong was sent to the Imperial Study Room to accompany him.

In the past, the emperor often asked him to accompany him to read memorials and ask his opinion on certain matters.

But today Jiang Zong was absent-minded.

He discovered that the emperor was not sleeping at his house last night, but he seemed to have seen his mother in the palace just before entering the imperial study.

His mother spent the night in the palace last night.

And there is Shen Yi. Shen Yi pesters him morning and night, and even goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs to look for him...

Jiang Zong's mind was filled with these two things.

So much so that the emperor repeated the same sentence three times before he heard: "Ah? Ah, what the emperor said makes sense."

Shen Xiao frowned slightly: "I'm asking you what you think."

Jiang Zong said scornfully: "The emperor and I have the same view."

"What are you thinking about? You are so distracted that you think about all the messy things. Do you have any sense of proportion?"

It was the first time Shen Xiao rebuked him in such a strong tone.

Jiang Zong quickly knelt on the ground and lowered his head: "I know I was wrong."

Shen Xiao sighed, put down the book in his hand, and spoke softer.

"Tell me what you are thinking about."
