Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jiang Xue was a little surprised.

The second emperor brother stayed in Beijing, and she thought that her father would definitely hand over one of the six departments to him to take over——

I just didn’t expect to take over two movies at once.

Taking over the Ministry of War was something Jiang Xue had expected. After all, Jiang Yu had been working hard in the northern border for three years and knew everything about military affairs.

But the officials...

Jiang Yu didn't stay in the court for a long time, and he was mostly under the wing of the elder brother. When he was young, he was careless and playful, and he never seriously studied government affairs.

If he takes over the civil service and is not familiar with the officials in the DPRK, even if he is a prince, he may not be able to do many things.

Jiang Xue was a little confused, whether her father had made such an arrangement too hastily.

Or could it be said that this appointment... came from the Second Emperor himself?

Seeing her frown, Queen Lu comforted her and said, "I know you are probably worried about Yu'er. After all, he is not familiar with the situation in the DPRK. At this time, he is suddenly doing two things, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do what he wants."

"Fortunately, there is still your grandfather in the court," she stretched out her hand to tuck Jiang Xue's hair and said, "If Yu'er is unable to do anything, there will always be your grandfather to help."

Jiang Xue replied: "I am a woman. I don't understand these things very well. I just feel that with the temperament of the second emperor brother, I don't know how long he can persist in these things."

"Yu'er's return to Beijing is already impressive." Empress Lu said with a smile, "She is more sensible and calm. Let's just take it as a test now. Sooner or later, he will embark on this path."

Jiang Xue sighed secretly.

This was not a path that Jiang Yu was willing to take before.

She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mother, let's not talk about this anymore. Aunt Dong said that you asked the imperial kitchen to prepare my favorite dishes, but I was disrespectful."

Empress Lu nodded the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, if you are willing, come back more often to accompany your mother."

Jiang Xue said: "Then I'll send someone back to the house to send a message, so that the prince-in-law won't have to wait for a long time."

"Shu Pei has already told someone to spread the word about this. She is going to keep you in the palace for dinner today, so you can rest assured." Queen Lu said.

"Aunt Dong is so kind," Jiang Xuejiao said with a naive smile, "Of course, the queen mother is even better."

Seeing her smiling face at this moment, Empress Lu felt her sadness relieved a lot.

Jiang Xue stood up, looked around, and said, "I have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't I accompany my mother to the Royal Garden for a walk?"

Empress Lu nodded in greeting and said, "Qiong Shuang will be coming to the palace in a while. You sisters haven't seen each other for many days, so we might as well go to the imperial garden to play together."

The accompanying maid understood this and quietly stepped back to pass on the guard of honor.

Jiang Xue supported Empress Lu and asked, "Cousin Qiong Shuang? Didn't I say you went to the East China Sea for a study tour the year before last? When did you come back?"

"What a study tour," Lu Congfang scolded with a smile, "your grandfather was afraid of losing face, so he made up a ridiculous excuse."

"It's not a study tour, so what are you doing?" Jiang Xue asked.

"She said she wanted to make a career in the world." Lu Congfang's face was full of disapproval as she said, "At the end of the twelfth lunar month of the year before last, your uncle went to find her to enter the palace to thank her for the New Year's gift, but he couldn't find her anywhere."

Mother and daughter crossed the threshold together. The ceremonial chariot was waiting outside the hall. Fu Dong followed them. Jiang Xue helped Lu Congfang sit down. He turned around and sat on the chariot beside her. He craned his neck to listen to her:

"After rummaging through the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, I found that girl, who took advantage of the night when no one was paying attention, packed a few things, and took away the fastest horse in the mansion. She ran so fast that no one could be found."

"If she hadn't still had some conscience and left a letter, the Prime Minister would have thought she was abducted by thieves."

Although Empress Lu felt that this matter was too outrageous and out of bounds, she also truly loved her niece and could not hide her doting.

"How come I don't know this?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise.

"It's not just you, the queen mother also heard what your aunt said when she came to visit a few days ago. If this girl hadn't come back, I don't know how long your grandfather would have covered her up."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and soon they arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Fu Dong reached out to help Jiang Xue get off the chariot. Lu Congfang was also helped up by the palace maid, and the two of them walked forward slowly.

"It seems that autumn is getting stronger," Jiang Xue reached out to catch the falling yellow leaves. "Remember that the queen mother should put on more clothes in the morning and evening." She told the maid next to Lu Congfang.

"Your Aunt Dong will explain these things," Lu Congfang said softly.

"I'm in the palace, so I don't have to worry about anything. But you, after getting married, are in charge of a house independently. You have to take care of many things, especially your own body."

Jiang Xue said: "Mom, don't worry, my son is not sensible, and Xiaochun and Fudong are taking care of him. Recently, he also asked a doctor to take care of him."

Queen Lu asked: "Are you not feeling well? Did you invite a doctor from the capital? Why didn't you go back to the palace and ask for the imperial doctor?"

Jiang Xue patted her hand, reassured her, and said: "My son is fine, he just got married a few days ago and was very busy. I finally rested and took care of myself. There was no need to call the imperial doctor, but Just eat some ordinary warm and tonic food.”

She thought about it, but finally did not tell Empress Lu about He Zhilin's return to Beijing.

She didn't know how long He Zhilin planned to stay when he returned to Beijing. If his ambition was to remain in power, it would be better to hide the matter from his mother.

After all, with the empress mother's appreciation and trust in He Yuanzheng, if she knew that his grandson was back, she would probably call him back to the Taiyuan Hospital.

Queen Lu said: "If you know how to find someone to take care of yourself, the mother will feel relieved. After all, you are already married, and you should prepare for the birth of children in the future."

Give birth to an heir? Jiang Xue had goosebumps all over her body. Who is that guy with Gu Lintan? She had no such plans.

Empress Lu thought to herself: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for women to give birth. It is absolutely necessary to build a good physical foundation. Taking more nourishing food when you have nothing to do is always beneficial and harmless..."

Jiang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was worrying about how to end this topic when she suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Aunt! Aunt!"

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and saw a fiery red figure running not far away.

The person who came was wearing a red riding suit, with black hair tied high behind his head with a red ribbon. He grinned with white teeth and a bright smile on his face.

It was Jiang Xue’s cousin—Lu Xiang’s precious granddaughter, Lu Qiongshuang.

Lu Qiong Shuang ran closer, knelt down on one knee and clasped her fists to salute Queen Lu: "Qiong Shuang pays homage to the empress. I wish the empress long life, good health and good health!"

After saying that, he winked at Jiang Xue again.

Queen Lu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, let my aunt take a good look at you."

Behind Lu Qiong's double body, a Xiaohuangmen came all the way. He was out of breath, ran up to the three of them, knelt down with a plop and said:

"Prime Minister, Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, please see Her Royal Highness the Queen. I'm here. I'm late. I deserve death!"

Jiang Xue laughed out loud and said: "It's not your fault. This man runs like a rabbit and a Pegasus. No one can keep up with him."

Queen Lu also said: "Get up, I forgive you."

Lu Qiongshuang grinned and turned back to the little Huangmen: "I'm sorry, little brother, I'm walking a little faster, please go down and find a place to rest."

Xiao Huangmen quickly stood up and left.

Queen Lu took Lu Qiongshuang's hand and looked at it carefully from head to feet, from feet to head.

"Skinny Monkey, you have lost weight and become taller." The queen said, "Come back and ask your mother to give you a good supplement, but you are already too thin."

Just as Lu Qiongshuang was about to answer, Jiang Xueyouyou said:

"To make up for it is the next best thing. It's better to go back and cover it up quickly."

"It's as black as a shadow. I'll cover it up for a year and a half to see if it can come back in vain."
