Chapter 38 She quits being a substitute (38)

"No problem."

"Help me arrange the New Year's auspicious signs in my house."

Jiang Miao was silent, this was something only the hostess could do, it was nothing for her as an outsider to do this work.

What does it mean to be innocuous? In ancient times, a small cold or fever was often fatal.

If he accidentally dies of illness, what will happen to her mission?
  Jiang Miao's eyes flickered, and when he raised his face, he met Xiao Yi's deep eyes, "I can help, but you have to listen to me and take medicine to cure the disease."

It is necessary to avoid treating diseases and keeping tabs on them.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would make such a request, and immediately fell silent.

Jiang Miao also knew what it meant to let him take medicine, which meant that she could gain Xiao Yi's trust.

The two parties were confronting each other. Even if Xiao Yi rejected her proposal, she thought it was normal. In those years of the end of the world, no one understood the importance of living better than her, and trust could not be handed over easily.

She was infected with the zombie virus because she trusted her best friend
  Just when she thought Xiao Yi was going to refuse silently, he actually agreed.

Jiang Miao frowned. It was a joy to gain the trust of others no matter what.

"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, I will boil the medicine for you personally, and it will definitely not be done by someone else."

Xiao Yi gave her a meaningful look and went back to the room to rest.

Jiang Miao naturally did not think that Xiao Yi asked her to come here just to decorate the mansion, but she still pretended to ask the housekeeper to buy spring lanterns and other items, and sealed the servants in the mansion with money.

In less than a day, the mansion was decorated with joy.

Jiang Miao cooked the medicine and took it out immediately, then knocked on Xiao Yi's door.

"Come in."

Pushing the door open, Jiang Miao rarely saw Xiao Yi lying on the bed with tired eyebrows.

"But the medicine is gone?"

Jiang Miao walked to the bed and said, "What do you want to take? Medicine is not easily absorbed when taken on an empty stomach."

She heard Xiao Qi say that the man in front of her had never eaten a grain of rice since long ago.

"Osmanthus glutinous rice balls."

"Osmanthus glutinous rice balls?" Jiang Miao repeated.

Xiao Yi nodded, "The osmanthus honey you gave me last time is still in the cupboard."

"Okay." Jiang Miao stood up, "Looking at the days, the osmanthus honey brewed will be ready to eat."

Half an hour later, Jiang Miao and Xiao Yi were having dinner in Nuange.

Jiang Miao smelled the elegant and sweet fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls in the air, and she glanced at Xiao Yi.

"You are suffering from exhaustion and fever. It's the New Year's Eve. Are you still so busy with court affairs?"

Xiao Yi eats neither too fast nor too slowly, and is very elegant. Watching him eat is also a visual enjoyment.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked over, "Originally it wasn't busy, but some people couldn't hold it any longer."

"So you're going to deal with them?" Jiang Miao joked.

Xiao Yi hummed and did not answer.

Jiang Miao looked at the arrogant look on his face and realized that this man was actually quite interesting.

Compared with the tranquility and warmth here, Zhao Rui's place is a bit chaotic, and it looks like it will be difficult to live this new year.

Zhao Rui has been discussing important matters with his staff in the study for days.

An old man with white hair and beard stroked his beard and said: "Your Highness, it was not a wise move for you to send scholar Shen Tanwei to prison last time. Even if he is not recruited by you, there is no need to put him in prison."

Feng Yu stood aside and wiped his sweat. How could he not be solicited? It was just because of a woman, and this woman was from the Regent's Palace.
  If he was still skeptical before, then the regent's intervention in Shen Tanwei would be enough to show that Miss Jiang has a close relationship with the regent.

Zhao Rui's face darkened when he heard this. He really couldn't understand why the emperor's uncle would interfere in Shen Tanwei's matter.

Shen Tanwei is just a Jieyuan at best, how could the emperor's uncle notice him!
  It's not that she wants Shen Tanwei's life, she just wants to use him to blackmail Jiang Miao into being more obedient!
  When the other staff saw Zhao Rui's dark face, they all looked worried, but they still spoke frankly. "Although Your Majesty loves you, he has always respected the elders and not the young. The eldest prince under the Queen's name has the support of many courtiers. If you want to get the highest position, you must try your best to get the support of the Regent."

When it comes to Xiao Yi, Zhao Rui has something in his mind.

How could his uncle be so easy to please?

There are always some other courtiers who are greedy for money and lust, and it is much easier to manipulate them.

But Xiao Yi was a man of steel and iron. In the past, no one gave him money or beauties, and wanted to ask him to do things, but they were all kicked away.

At this time, another staff member suggested: "Your Highness, since the regent's approach is not feasible, and Shen Tanwei's matter has embarrassed you again, you might as well accept Prince Xiping's proposal."

When Zhao Rui heard this, he pondered, if the "Qing Jun side" thing came to pass, he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of the emperor's uncle's downfall.

"Then please make arrangements. I want to have a detailed discussion with Wu Changqing."

"Yes."

After the discussion, the staff filed out, leaving Feng Yu alone with Zhao Rui.

Things were not going well recently, Zhao Rui sighed, and suddenly he wanted to see Jiang Miao. Although he would be half angry every time he saw her, he soon calmed down.

"What has she been doing recently? Is there anything unusual?"

Feng Yu was shocked, of course he knew who this "she" was referring to.

The scene at the Prince Regent's Mansion came to mind again, and the sound of arrows "whisping, whizzing, whizzing" filled my ears.

He quickly said: "Your Highness, Miss Jiang is still the same as before, there is nothing special about her. She and Mr. Shen no longer meet."

Zhao Rui was silent, if it weren't for the New Year approaching and the palace being busy, he would definitely look for her.

Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself that it was not easy to be a wallflower.

……

At this time, in the Prince Regent's Mansion, Jiang Miao was walking with Xiao Yi in a white fox fur cloak, which was known as the acceptance of the results.

Xiao Yi was wearing a brocade robe, and after Jiang Miao's strong suggestion, she put on a black cloak and walked out of the greenhouse.

There was a lot of white snow outside, and soon it was covered with red lanterns hanging on the trees. The rockery and water pavilions were all covered in silver, and even the red plums were decorated with white snow, which made it a little more festive.

Xiao Yi swept his hands behind the red lanterns hanging on the eaves and recalled: "When my parents were here, my father would hold me up to hang the lanterns every time."

This was the first time Jiang Miao heard him mention the past. She only heard that the regent's father died in the war and his mother died in depression. From then on, he was the only one to support the huge Xiao Mansion.

It is really not easy to reach his current status despite losing the protection of his relatives.

Jiang Miao suddenly had some indescribable emotions in her heart, "Then was your temper the same as it is now when you were a child?"

"How is this king now?" Xiao Yi turned around, raised his hand to help Mei Zhi and let her come over.

Jiang Miao walked over through the snow, "Others say you are a capricious regent."

Before she could finish her words or take two steps, a branch of snow fell from her head.

Caught off guard, there were a lot of stains on my cheeks and lips.

"You?!" Jiang Miao raised his head and met Xiao Yi's eyes with raised eyebrows and a smile.

She "hummed" and walked forward, not paying attention to the man behind her.

No need to guess, his temper must have been very bad when he was a child.

"Miaomiao, wait." Xiao Yi quickly caught up and grabbed her hand.

Jiang Miao was pulled by him and almost fell into his arms. She asked angrily, "What are you pulling me for?"

"I'll give you a New Year's gift." Xiao Yi pulled him back and took out a brocade box from his arms.

Jiang Miao's eyes fell on the box, "What is it?"
