Picture her prosperous face

In the evening, the two carriages returned to Qiao's mansion one after another.The mother and daughter who came back from offering incense in the Huguo Temple were carried in the previous carriage, while Qiao Shangshu, who had just arrived in the carriage, was half a step slower.The family of three almost came home one after another, so Qiao Shangshu learned that the old wife took her daughter to Huguo Temple to offer incense and make a wish as soon as Shangshu came back.

Going to the temple to offer incense is not a big deal, Qiao Shangshu casually listened to it and didn't take it to heart, but when he returned to the house, he saw Mrs. Qiao sitting in the house with a sad face, and she hadn't even changed the clothes she went out with.

This situation is not common for Mrs. Qiao, and Qiao Shangshu was suddenly surprised: "What's wrong with Madam, you look frowning?"

Mrs. Qiao glanced at him and sighed, so Qiao Shangshu speculated: "Could it be possible to draw a lottery today?"

It has to be said that Qiao Shangshu still knows the old wife quite well, knowing that she cares about these things, he guesses in this regard.However, today he also miscalculated, seeing Mrs. Qiao roll her eyes when she heard the words, she immediately retorted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I drew the lottery!"

Seeing that she was still in the mood to distinguish this from him, Qiao Shangshu felt that it was not a big deal, and he also relaxed.He walked up to Mrs. Qiao and sat down. The maidservant standing beside him quickly brought tea. He casually took a sip and then asked, "Madam went to Huguo Temple to offer incense today. So what else is there?"

Mrs. Qiao looked worried, and waved her hand casually to dismiss the maid in the room, and then said to Qiao Shangshu: "Master, I found that our Ayue seems to have taken a fancy to someone."

Qiao Shangshu was slightly surprised when he heard the words, it was not long after he divorced the Xu family, he did not expect his daughter to change her mind so quickly.But having said that, as a father, he would rather Qiao Yue change his mind quickly than to waste her good life because of Xu Changqing's love for nothing.So he cheered up and asked with great interest, "Who is that?"

At this question, Mrs. Qiao's expression suddenly became weird, and finally, after Qiao Shangshu's repeated questioning, she said: "It's Ji Shizi!"

At the beginning of the conversation, there is no need to be embarrassed, and then Mrs. Qiao said everything she saw and heard today.Including meeting King Han and Ji Chang walking together, also including meeting Princess Han leading a group of girls of appropriate age, and also including her testing Qiao Yue's reaction.At the end, she couldn't help sighing, she was someone who had experienced it, so she could see that even if her daughter had never had a deep love, she was still moved.

Qiao Shangshu's shrewd eyes flickered after hearing this, but it's hard to say how surprised he was.After all, he asked his daughter how she felt about Ji Shizi earlier, and after getting the answer "she is a beauty", he thought about today.

The husband and wife looked at each other speechlessly. Mrs. Qiao seemed dissatisfied with Qiao Shangshu's "calmness", so she raised her hand and pushed him: "Master, you have something to say, why do you still look like a normal person?!" Worried: "Where do you think the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is a good place to go? Don't say that the prince is weak, or that His Majesty is jealous and suppressed, but how many of her sons from the Ji family have survived?"

Mrs. Qiao is really worried. She is worried that her daughter wants to marry because she looks good, and she will end up a widow early in the end!

Qiao Shangshu twitched his brows when he heard this, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.But after thinking about it, he calmed down again: "It's okay, the son is weak and cannot go to the battlefield."

This sounds really weird, weak body is a disadvantage to others, but it seems to be a strength when it is biased towards Ji Chang.Because of her weak body, the emperor did not dare to call her back to Beijing as a hostage, and also because of her weak body, she did not need to go to the battlefield to go to the fateful home of Ji's family... I don't know if Ji Chang heard what Qiao Shangshu said. What is it like?

Let's not mention Ji Chang's reaction when he heard this, but Mrs. Qiao couldn't help frowning after hearing these words, and said suspiciously: "Is the master also interested in that weak little son?"

Qiao Shangshu was slightly startled, thought for a while and shook his head: "I only heard his name, I haven't seen him yet."

If you haven't seen it, you don't agree, and you don't plan... Mrs. Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, Qiao Shangshu continued: "But didn't you say that Ah Yue fell in love with him?"

The couple always doted on the only daughter and wanted the stars not the moon. If Qiao Yue really believed in it, what would they do?Apart from planning for her, fighting for her, and taking the position of the wife of the prince for her, what else can I do?

Mrs. Qiao's heart that had just been let go suddenly lifted again, and she was very worried - she could see that not only her daughter had a crush on the family's son, but her master was also biased.But what's so good about the imperiled Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, the weak and difficult son of the Marquis's mansion, who can attract his master's thoughts?

****************************************************************************

At this time, Ji Chang didn't know that he was not only attracted by Qiao Yue, but also by her father.

After a heart-to-heart talk with the King of Han, the two made a covenant in the meditation room, and the Marquis of Wu'an will fully support the King of Han in seizing the heir apparent in the future.Ji Chang is not worried that the situation of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion will be even more difficult in the future after setting such a precedent.Firstly, she believes that the King of Han is a man, and secondly, the Marquis of Wu'an has no heirs to inherit from her, so it is hard to say whether there will be a future.

Of course, the real reason that prompted Ji Chang to take such a risk is that if it is not for flexibility, the Marquis of Wu'an may not be able to support the new emperor's ascension to the throne-even if the Marquis has a large army, the money and food are still in the hands of the court.The imperial court delayed the food and payment for January and two months, and the Hou Mansion could afford it. If it was delayed for March and May, it would be stretched. If it was delayed for a year or a half, the Hou Mansion would be dragged to death by the army!

And in the past three to five years, the imperial court has delayed the payment of food no less than ten times.As the son of the Marquis Mansion, Ji Chang had no way to get money and food from other sources, so he had no choice but to pull down the person who withheld money and food from the frontier army.

I have to say that Ji Chang is actually a ruthless person, not only dare to think but also dare to act.

But after returning from the Huguo Temple, her frown has not been loosened, and her face is also somewhat dignified.Such an appearance fell into the eyes of Changqing Changming who didn't understand, and couldn't help feeling worried, afraid that something might happen.

The two held back for a long time, but in the end Chang Qing, who was more aggressive, couldn't hold back, and asked cautiously: "My lord, what happened today? Did your conversation with the King of Han not go well? Why are you so worried?"

Hearing this, Ji Chang didn't relax his brows, so he frowned and shook his head like this: "No, we talked very well." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "His temperament has not changed, I confessed to him, He also agreed."

Changqing and Changming are Ji Chang's bodyguard and her confidant.The two were orphans in the army, and after being adopted into the Marquis Mansion, the three of them grew up together since they were young.Except for Ji Chang's secret identity, the two knew almost all her secrets, so Ji Chang's plan to return to Beijing this time did not hide it from them.As soon as it was mentioned at this moment, both of them would understand, and their hearts were slightly relieved.

Immediately they realized that something was wrong, and Chang Qing still said, "It's a good thing the king of Han promised, why is your son so sad?"

Ji Chang pursed his lips now, stopped talking, and didn't know where to start.Just thinking about what Han Wang said to her at that time, I still feel a headache...

At that time, the two had just discussed the matter of forming an alliance, and the king of Han suddenly said to her: "Now I think Miss Qiao's family is quite suitable for you." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ji Chang's rebuttal, he said: "Although you and I have formed an alliance now, we can The Hou's Mansion is far away in the northern border, and its military strength is also in the northern border. It is really beyond the reach of the capital. And you know my situation in the capital, we still need allies."

Qiao Shangshu is a good candidate, not to mention his position and weight, he has not been wooed by any force so far.Moreover, in the face of the emperor's suspicion and the princes' open and secret struggles, he can still sit firmly as the Minister of the Household Department, which shows his ability.

In addition, the Qiao family's favorite daughter is famous, and Qiao Yue has taken a fancy to Ji Chang again. This is simply a breakthrough for him!

Ji Chang is well aware of these things, and she is more aware of the benefits of marriage.But with Qiao Yue's status, she couldn't control it, so how could she dare to marry someone into the door?Don't get married when the time comes, just make enemies directly!

What's more, in her heart, she didn't want to drag Qiao Yue into the mud, and she didn't want her to be injured by her deception.

The king of Han didn't understand the crux of the matter, and continued to persuade him reasonably: "Ah Chang, just listen to my advice, marrying a wife who pleases you is far better than marrying a stranger or even someone with ulterior motives. At least she has her heart towards you and won't harm you, and you don't have to be wary of the person next to your pillow. Besides, I think Miss Qiao is very good-looking, if you two are together, I don't know if you will fall in love with her in the future."

At the end, the King of Han also added: "Besides, you don't like young people. I can't find a lady of your age in Jingzhong anymore. Are you really going to wait for His Majesty to marry you a cat or a dog? !"

Ji Chang was speechless and unable to refute, so he had to come back with a sad face and a shaken heart.
