The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 59: Victory at the Departure
She probably thought that Zhang Zhiye heard that his sister was a concubine and came back specifically to rely on her for a future, so she was the first to tell him to give up.

Zhang Zhiye said respectfully: "My son knows, and my mother can rest assured."

Before exiting the hall, Jiang Qingyue raised her eyes and glanced at Sun Hongling.

Sun Hongling is already half an old lady, but her daily care is not in vain. Although her facial features and demeanor have a mature charm, her skin is extremely well maintained, and she still looks like a woman in her prime. Broken, a pair of soft hands are almost the same color as the white porcelain tea cup.

After walking out of the hall, going around a few turns, and arriving in his own courtyard, the easy-going look on Zhang Zhiye's face disappeared instantly.

"Do you also think my sister can be a queen?"

Jiang Qingyue didn't think so.If she had not dealt with Zhang Shuting, she might have thought that the Zhang family was about to give birth to a queen.But she knew Zhang Shuting somewhat.

Now, how could Shen Xiao want an unstable harem?
But she said: "Previously, everyone in the world was guessing whether she would be Concubine Liu or Concubine An, but now, Concubine Liu has lost the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace. The result is beyond doubt."

She asked again: "Are you unhappy that your sister is your successor?"

"Why should I be happy if I can't get any profit or water," Zhang Zhiye said, "Anyway, it's nothing to do with me."

He said it had nothing to do with him, but his tone was that he wished nothing could happen to him.

……

Zhang Zhiye is not in Jinling City all year round, but there are still people to take care of him.

The leader was King Xuan, who arranged a banquet in Xunfang Pavilion. Some of the guests who came were Zhang Zhiye's acquaintances, and most of them came to join in the fun.

Jiang Qingyue wore a veil and did not dare to attract attention. She just sat in the corner and heard others talking behind Zhang Zhiyi's back.

"He's just a concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, and he's so respected by King Xuan."·

"This bastard is still the most hopeless one. He spends all day traveling around and only comes back once or twice a year."

"The eldest son of his family, Zhang Zhisu, has long been admitted to the imperial examination. At his age, he has already entered the Hanlin Academy as an errand."

"Isn't that right...except for him, none of the grandsons of Duke Zhen are promising, especially Concubine An..."

The man didn't dare to talk about what was wrong with Concubine An. Whether he could be a queen or not should not be discussed in front of others.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at the two people.They are two ordinary young men.

To be able to come to such a corner to gossip, and the people around them didn't say hello to them, they must not be a well-off big shot, that's why they are so short-sighted.

No matter what the reason for King Xuan's hosting of the banquet today, just based on the words "King Xuan thinks highly of it", they shouldn't talk too much about Zhang Zhiye.

A clear voice sounded from outside the door.

"Twelfth brother, am I late?"

Everyone in Xunfang Pavilion fell silent immediately, only looking at the woman striding in with respect and awe.

Wearing a pale blue sword-sleeved horse-faced skirt with no other embellishments, her long hair was tied up with a silver hairpin. Her attire was simple and capable, but it had its own nobility and aura that was compelling.

She was clearly the eldest princess, but she couldn't be called the eldest princess. However, calling her Princess An Ning would offend others, so everyone just silently kept silent and paid attention.

Upon hearing this, King Xuan came down the stairs to welcome him with a smile: "Sister Huang, you have given me enough face by coming so early!"

Jiang Qingyue stood behind the crowd and watched Shen Shuning and King Xuan go upstairs together amid the crowd.

After they entered the private room, the people downstairs dared to greet each other again.

When Liu Wenyu appeared naturally in everyone's sight, Jiang Qingyue heard the two people approaching murmuring in low voices. "General Liu is also an outstanding talent. He is young and promising..."

Liu Wenyu had been marching and fighting with his father at an early age. He had achieved several military exploits in his early years, and he was born handsome and handsome. He was a good son-in-law in the eyes of many powerful people in Jinling City.

However, he was obsessed with turning a concubine from a humble background into a wife. If he could not do so, he would not marry a wife.

It's just that his flaws do not hide his flaws, which does not prevent him from being respected by the Holy One, nor does it prevent him from being respected by everyone present.

He is Liu Qingshu's brother.Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue glanced at him one more time.

A woman interrupted her thoughts: "Little General Liu, isn't he pretty?"

Jiang Qingyue turned to look at her.

This woman was wearing a honey-colored gold dress, with a little red lips, and only a delicate jade hairpin between the hanging osmanthus hairpin, which made her look particularly delicate and charming.

Jiang Qingyue had met her several times: "Miss Zhang Si."

This is Zhang Shulan, the younger sister of Concubine An, Zhang Shuting, and the younger sister of Zhang Zhiye.

Zhang Shulan was slightly startled when she saw the pockmarks on her face hidden under the veil through her thin veil.

She heard that her second brother had brought back a woman this time, and just now the servant pointed out to her that it was this woman.From a distance, it does appear that the features are picturesque and the eyes are full of concern, but up close, it becomes clear that it actually looks dilapidated.

With so many pockmarks, no matter how beautiful the eyebrows are, it won't help.

Zhang Shulan said earnestly: "I don't know why the second brother brought you back. But you have to know that our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion wants to have face. He can have women around him, and it doesn't matter if he has dozens of concubines, but if You, following your second brother like this, will make people laugh at my second brother for being blind, and make people laugh at the fact that our government doesn't even give him a decent woman."

Jiang Qingyue's eyelids twitched.

What is the truth about this girl?Zhang Zhiye's marriage was entirely decided by his aunt, but would Sun Hongling, a respectable lady from a wealthy family, be willing to arrange it for Zhang Zhiye?

It seems that Zhang Shulan was too young to think so much. She only thought that her second brother's eccentric temperament always disturbed the marriage arranged by his mother.

"Young lady, I misunderstood. I am just a rough messenger bought by the young master."

"You are such a rough messenger. How could my second brother keep you with me all these days and allow you to come to Xunfang Pavilion?" Zhang Shulan didn't believe her at all and sighed to herself, "You do have beautiful features and good posture. But the skin is really rough and not worthy of my second brother."

Jiang Qingyue couldn't explain it to her.

"Otherwise, the girl can talk to the young master."

Zhang Shulan was a little annoyed when she heard this: "He is doing whatever he wants, you have to know some sense of propriety, do you understand?"

Jiang Qingyue said casually: "That's what the girl said."

Zhang Shulan hit the cotton with her fist, but there was no response. She snorted helplessly: "I am trying to persuade you, but if I wait for my father to take action, will you still be able to enjoy the good fruit?"

"Thank you for your kindness, girl." Jiang Qingyue was annoyed by her, and with a thought in her mind, she deliberately made her angry, "I have grown up like this, am I not sensible enough? It is really the young master who has promoted me inexplicably, and I am helpless. How can a weak woman with no strength resist the Second Young Master Sun of the Zhenguo Palace?"

Zhang Shulan didn't believe it: "It must be because of your seduction..."

Jiang Qingyue asked with an aggrieved look: "There are so many people who want to seduce the young master, why is it me?"

Seeing that she still dared to talk back, Zhang Shulan became even more unwilling to let her go.

"You can't slap me, so you don't have to sound so innocent! I've seen people like you a lot, and you're just a coquettish guy who wants to get rich!"
