Born short-lived

The northern Xinjiang, which had been stalemate for half a year, finally made progress, and the streets and alleys of the entire Huajing suddenly boiled.

The battle report was sent to the imperial city in a hurry. When the empress was still lying on the bed early in the morning, she could faintly hear the commotion outside the palace. When she got up and asked, it turned out that the three passes of Beijiang had been recovered.

She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and said to the servant next to her in a good mood: "Official Xuan, discuss matters in court."

The emperor was very happy today, so no one wanted to defeat her interest. When she heard about the great victory in Beijiang, she immediately tidied herself up, and then came to the court with a rosy face.

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and protect me, Hua Xu, in Chang'an!" Yan Yushile seemed to be begging his concubine, and was about to kneel and kowtow three times and shout long live.He smiled until his eyes were narrowed into two slits, and there were two dimples on his shriveled face, but because his face was too loose, the dimples looked like they had been poked hard with his fingers.

The empress could not understand his unpromising appearance, but she was really in a good mood today, so she didn't dismantle him.

Although the Queen said that she was already overjoyed in her heart, but after all, she was in her position, and sometimes she had to suppress the field, so she smiled and said: "It's too early to celebrate now, my loves, and we have to wait until the crown prince regains my north." Let’s talk about the land.”

Yan Yushi's flattery was patted on the horse's hoof, the smile on his face froze, but then he adjusted and changed his words easily: "Ah yes, Your Majesty is holy, it is the old minister who is impatient and mean."

Jiang Kun looked expressionlessly at the embarrassment of such a clown, couldn't help coughing lightly, walked out of the text list, bowed to the queen, and said: "Your Majesty, my lord!" I think that His Highness has really worked hard this time, and when His Highness regains the northern border, His Highness should also be allowed to come back to have a good rest, and leave the rest to the Zhuo family to take care of."

The queen squinted her eyes, and the upturned corners of her eyes made her look condescending. There seemed to be thorns in her subtle eyes. She scrutinized Jiang Kun from top to bottom until the old fox was staring at him like a light on his back. Only then did she seem to inadvertently raise the corners of her lips and jokingly said: "Yo, Jiang Qing is really more worried than my mother."

Jiang Kun was taken aback, knowing that the Queen had noticed something, but he was not too flustered. He smiled twice in a concealed manner, the two mustaches on his lips trembled slightly, and then he said without changing his face and heartbeat: "The monarch, the subject, the father, the son, and the son, your highness is my Hua Xu's crown prince, and the root of my Hua Xu's future country. I dare not sleep late at night. I only hope that your highness will be healthy."

The queen raised her eyebrows, then laughed lightly, shook her head with an ambiguous smile and said, "Jiang Qing really knows my heart."

Jiang Kun is the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of all the officials. Hearing this, he hurriedly put on a look of fear and trepidation.

The Northern Territory has been victorious, and the Crown Prince's kindness is growing, so even if Jiang Kun wants to hint something, he has to follow the empress' Lin.But what he didn't expect was that the empress still couldn't listen to his words so euphemistically.

Or did you listen to it without saying anything?

But no matter what, as long as Jiang Kun still wants to keep the water flowing, he can never bring up the matter of recalling the prince with the queen in the past few days.

The empress approved some food and grass for the northern border, and repeatedly urged that it must be delivered as soon as possible. After that, there was nothing else to do, and she left the court after saying a few casual words.

After Jiang Kun retired from court, he went to the princess's Shen Xin Palace. There were no foreign officials in Shen Xin Palace, but Jiang Kun was regarded as a relative of the emperor anyway, so it was another matter.

And it happened to be a very coincidental day, the princess happened to be chatting with Jiang Huaibi on the piano at the Liushang Terrace, Jiang Kun had just passed the main hall when he faintly heard the sound of Lingling piano coming from the corridor.

Behind the plain white tulle curtain, two soft figures can be vaguely seen, one of them is more petite, with a paulownia qin in front of it, agarwood is still lit on the desk, and when the wind blows the gauze curtain, it brings With that smell overflowing.

A lady bowed from the corridor on the other side and ran to the front of the Liushang Terrace, whispered a few words to the figure behind the curtain, and she clearly saw the little figure startled, and then the curtain closed. It was lifted from the inside.

Dong Li's turbid white eyes didn't know where to look, and there was uncontrollable joy on his face, he pursed his lips and smiled, even the voice like a clear spring was full of smiles, and urged the lady to say: "Hurry up and ask Uncle Huang to come."

The lady bowed her knees to make a promise, and turned to invite Jiang Kun, but as soon as she turned around, she saw that Jiang Kun had already walked towards this side.So the lady hurriedly moved aside, gave a respectful salute, and said in greeting, "Lord Jiang."

Dong Li was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Jiang Kun to come so fast, and asked tentatively: "Uncle Huang is here?"

Jiang Kun laughed: "Meet Your Highness the Princess."

"Uncle Huang!" Dong Li's turbid white eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up cautiously while supporting the wooden pillar, and was about to walk out, but Jiang Kun who saw the situation rushed over to help him.

Jiang Kun didn't criticize, let alone tell the truth, but persuaded softly: "Come on, Your Highness, let's go inside and talk about it."

He helped the princess back and opened the curtain to enter Liushang Terrace. Behind the plain white gauze curtain, Jiang Huaibi sat in a corner of the stage like a ghost, but smiled and looked at the visitor without saying a word.

Her complexion is too light, even the color of the whole face is a little pale, so that makes those eyes have a little misty taste for no reason.And when she looks at people, she always likes to stare straight into her eyes. Her eyes, which are as soft as water, are like thorns in the softness, and go straight to the depths of people's hearts. See through the same.

Jiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little cold from her stare, smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and bowed his hands: "Meet the high priest."

Jiang Huaibi didn't say anything for a while, but still looked at him with a half-smile, but Jiang Kun didn't get her response, so he couldn't straighten up.The two sides were in a stalemate for a long while before Jianghuai Bi finally said quietly: "Master Jiang is being polite."

Only then did Jiang Kun laugh twice, thanked Jiang Huaibi, and sat sideways on the cushion beside him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but the heartless Dong Li was ignorant, and happily put the teapot back on the stove to warm it, and chatted with Jiang Kun self-servingly.

Originally, Jianghuai Bi should be regarded as an outsider to the uncle and nephew, and should have bid farewell and left first, but the high priest of the Jiang clan seemed to have suddenly become very ignorant, and still sat there motionless, looking at them with a smile.

Jiang Kun was sure that this woman must have done it on purpose.

With Jianghuaibi around, Jiang Kun couldn't say anything.

And Dong Li seemed to be afraid that the world would not be chaotic and asked: "I don't know why Uncle Huang came to my Shenxin Palace today?"

Jiang Kun is such a shrewd person, he certainly can't hit the rock hard, so he had to suppress the things in his heart for a while, and then said: "I haven't seen Your Highness the Princess for a long time, so I came to pay a visit. "

Dong Li laughed, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang manages a lot of things every day, and I am grateful to Uncle Huang for remembering."

Jiang Huaibi sat at the side calmly, only smiled lightly when he spoke to this point, stood up leisurely and said: "I am a little tired today, since Your Highness the Princess has something to say to Mr. Jiang, then I will not talk about it anymore." Bothering."

Dong Li was stunned for a moment, looked up at the voice, smiled and said: "Then I won't keep the high priest, the high priest walks slowly, come, and send the high priest back to the mansion."

Seeing the ghostly woman finally drifting away, Jiang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and waited until Jiang Huaibi had gone far away before turning the topic to the direction he expected: "I heard that Your Highness has had a lot of homework these days, and it really is hard work." .”

"The teacher teaches well. It doesn't matter if you have more homework." Dong Li smiled and took back the warm tea from the stove, and carefully poured a cup for Jiang Kun. "The teacher is knowledgeable and proficient in world affairs. I am lucky to be able to learn from him." .”

At the beginning, I asked Dong Li to be a teacher, and after searching all over the court, I found a rather famous bachelor. The old gentleman was afraid of being ordered, and he dared not neglect to preach and teach, and these pressures gradually became the motivation for him to "oppress" the students , the homework left to Dong Li has never been reduced.

"It's good that Your Highness can think like this," Jiang Kun took the tea with both hands, covered the lid of the tea bowl, took a sip, smacked his lips in enjoyment, and said, "It's just that you can't just read books. It’s a good read, why don’t you come to the minister’s cabinet to have a look, so you can know how to apply what you have learned.”
