Chapter 576: The Scheming Black Lotus Daughter Vs the Noble and Arrogant Prince 103
Emperor Zhang of Han was also very sad about the death of the sixth prince, and he put pressure on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion openly and secretly.
As a last resort, Wang Lingxiang and Princess Qixia's marriage had to be moved forward to next month.
It happened that the Eighth Prince rushed back to the capital at the end of this month, and the Eighth and Seventh Princes rushed back even faster after hearing the news. Therefore, before Princess Qixia's wedding, the Seventh Prince and the Sixth Prince gathered in the capital.
The first thing the eighth prince did when he returned to the capital was to pay a visit to Emperor Zhang of Han.
Over the years, the Eighth Prince had also made great military achievements in the northwest. Due to the bitter cold environment in the north, his skin was darker than that of the Seventh Prince. In addition to being darker, the Eighth Prince Xiao Yu's attire was not as luxurious as that of Fantasy Purple.
He had suffered a lot on the battlefield, and his temperament was even more taciturn than the Seventh Prince. He would not complain or act like a spoiled child in front of Emperor Han Zhang. Therefore, Emperor Han Zhang just glanced at Xiao Yu casually, praised him casually, and asked the Seventh Prince if he had enough food and clothing outside.
The Seventh Prince also showed great respect for Fu Huan. After respectfully replying to Emperor Han Zhang's words, he glanced at the Eighth Prince provocatively. The Eighth Prince had no intention of watching such a loving father and filial son, so he retreated, saying that he was not feeling well.
Emperor Zhang of Han did not care whether his son was really unwell or not, and only asked the imperial steward to give some medicinal herbs to the Eighth Prince's residence. However, after Concubine Shen heard that the Eighth Prince had returned to the capital, she sent people to send clothes and food to the Eighth Prince several times.
The Eighth Prince knew that Concubine Shen was trying to win him over. He had just arrived in the capital and did not understand the political situation, so he had to rely on Concubine Shen's power to take control of the government. Therefore, he did not reject Concubine Shen's kindness.
Apart from Concubine Shen, Xiao Yu was most concerned about the father and son in the Zhenguo Mansion. In the past, the great general of the Jingdeshan Ye family was very powerful, but he gave up his military power when he got older. Jing Anzhi became the second-rank official of the Imperial City Department at a young age.
Emperor Zhang of Han might have been somewhat suspicious of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but he had to use Jing Anzhi because of his abilities and talents.
Xiao Yu knew that the road ahead of him was full of danger and danger. Compared with the Seventh Prince, he, the Eighth Prince who did not have the power of his mother's family, was not injured at all. Moreover, the Seventh Prince was so powerful in the court that he had to be careful with every step he took. If he made a mistake, he would be doomed.
Compared with the dangerous road, what surprised Xiao Yu more was Jing Anzhi's keen eye for talent, and he actually placed the century-old foundation and life and property of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on him.
Since he was a child, Xiao Yu had been living in indifference and cold treatment from others. This was the first time someone trusted him so much.
When Xiao Yu was young, he read the saying "A gentleman will die for his friend". Only when he grew up to this age did he truly understand the meaning of the saying.
At night, Xiao Yu went to the Zhenguo Mansion. He took off his battle robe and dressed like an idle prince.
Jing Deshan and Jing Anzhi greeted him solemnly.
Xiao Yu had never been treated with such respect before, and because he was not good at speaking, he could only step forward and help the Duke of Zhenguo and his son up personally.
Jing Deshan only sat in the study for a while before leaving, saying that he had something to do outside, leaving Xiao Yu and Jing Anzhi the opportunity to be alone.
In the past, Jing Anzhi and Xiao Yu only communicated through letters. Now that he met Xiao Yu in person, Jing Anzhi looked at him curiously.
Xiao Yu had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin was somewhat dark. He did not have the arrogance of the Seventh Prince in his every move, and he was also very graceful when he smiled.
Although he is not good at speaking, he is good at listening.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xiao Yu, Jing Anzhi focused on the situation in the court. He analyzed the lifeblood of the Seventh Prince's party and said, "We don't need to be afraid of a few imperial censors. Our biggest concern is Ye Luoqian of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. He is a ruthless character who kills without shedding blood."
Xiao Yu listened quietly and only expressed a few opinions when Jing Anzhi was tired of talking.
Soon, the thick night quietly descended upon the capital. Xiao Yu didn't want to stay any longer, so he ignored Jing Anzhi's invitation and insisted on returning to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
Before leaving, he paused, and suddenly turned around and asked Jing Anzhi, "Prince Jing, why did you choose me?"
Jing Anzhi raised his sparkling eyes and smiled, "Your Highness has been able to endure the bitter cold of the northwest for five years, and has done his best to guard the border and defend the country. I believe you will be a good prince, and this world will usher in a prosperous era in your hands."
After saying this, Xiao Yu smiled and left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
When going to bed at night, Jing Anzhi talked about this matter with Jiang Nanqiu.
Jiang Nanqiu leaned on his shoulder and asked him carefully, "What kind of person do you think this Eighth Prince is?"
Jing Anzhi racked his brains to think about it, and then said, "He is ambitious, kind-hearted, and ambitious."
"Benevolent heart?" Jiang Nanqiu blinked, not hiding the confusion on his face.
Seeing this, Jing Anzhi explained to her in a gentle voice, "Before I joined the Eighth Prince, I sent secret guards to the northwest to inquire about the reputation of the Eighth Prince. The people at the border regarded her as a weak god. The Tatars invaded the border town several times and the Eighth Prince could have abandoned the town and retreated."
He calmed down, and a hint of burning light flashed across his eyes.
"But the Eighth Prince did not do so. He did not abandon any of the people in that frontier town. Instead, he led his soldiers to resist the Tatars tenaciously and finally saved the lives of most of the people in that town."
Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield, and it is important to sacrifice the chariot to save the king.
The fact that the Eighth Prince could make such a decision is enough to show that he has a kind heart, different from those of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince.
This is why Jing Anzhi chose to follow him.
Jiang Nanqiu felt a little eager when he heard Jing Anzhi's analysis of the situation on the battlefield and in the government.
She thought that as a man, she could serve as an official in the court, or go to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy, unlike a woman who could only be locked up in this inner house all her life to take care of her husband and children.
Especially after listening to Jing Anzhi talk about these magnificent and high-spirited things, she always felt a little envious.
Jing Anzhi didn't notice the envy in Jiang Nanqiu's eyes, he just smiled and said, "Well, it's time for us to go to bed, we still have to go to Ningqinhou Mansion to send the bride off tomorrow."
Jiang Nanqiu nodded, and asked Ling Qing to go into the inner bedroom to blow out the candle. The couple fell asleep in each other's arms.
Two days later would be the day for her wedding with Wang Lingxiang in Qixia Palace.
The Ningqing Marquis's mansion was extremely busy. Lord Ning and his wife went to Long'an Temple to offer sacrifices to the heavens today. Cui from the second house received Jing Anzhi and Jiang Nanqiu.
Cui was Wang Ruyue's biological mother.
Wang Ruyue's aunt has died, and now she is being raised by Cui.
Because Cui had a legitimate daughter, she didn't care much about Wang Ruyue, her concubine's daughter.
Besides, Wang Ruyue married well, and Jing Yuting was not only a bastard, but also a bastard without any official title. Therefore, her attitude towards Wang Ruyue became colder and colder.
But Jing Anzhi and Jiang Nanqiu were people she couldn't afford to offend. As soon as Jiang Nanqiu entered the flower hall of Ning Qinghou's mansion, he smiled and asked about Wang Ruyue.
Cui said a few perfunctorily, but Jiang Nanqiu still wanted to ask about Wang Ruyue, so she had no choice but to call Wang Ruyue out.
