Salted fish, he thought about it

Jiang Juan fell on the soft couch, staring blankly at Xue Fang leaving, and slowly frowned.

The prince will not be so stingy.

He didn't want to eat lychee anymore, and stopped him from teasing the peacock, so the prince wouldn't get angry.

So... what the hell is going on?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Juan had no clue. He looked down at the lychees on the fruit plate, and suddenly remembered Xue Congjun's reminder.

Festival day.

The memorial day of the prince's mother and concubine, Poppy Poppy, is approaching.

Is it because of this?

Jiang Juan was fascinated by his thoughts, but the high-level officials were not surprised. After all, this moody appearance was a common state of princes, but this should be the first time that a princess has been treated so coldly.

The senior officer pretended he didn't see anything, and said to Jiang Juan, "Princess, look at that blue peacock, is it about to spread its tail?"

No matter how beautiful the peacock spread its tail, Jiang Juan was in no mood to admire it now, so he shook his head.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Juan asked the senior executive: "Will the prince be in a bad mood at this time?"

"...Poppy's Memorial Day."

The senior executive was startled, and almost forgot the date.

To say that he is in a bad mood, the prince is actually not having a good time every day, but when it comes to Poppy's memorial day, he will still be more gloomy.

Calculating the time, it will only be three or four days until the end of the month, but these few days, although the prince is still not so easy to get along with, his madness has restrained a lot.

"Yes," replied the executive, "it's not very good."

"The prince's concubine..." Jiang Juan thought about his choice of words, "Can you tell me something about Poppy?"

Regarding the poppies, there are actually a few sentences mentioned in the article, but the main purpose is to show the violence of the prince—he killed his mother and concubine with his own hands.

But Jiang Juan didn't think it would be the prince. After all, none of the plots related to the prince matched, even the characters were very different.

"This……"

The executive thought of some rumors, he didn't know clearly, and he didn't dare to say too much, "Poppy was originally an orphan girl, and she met the Holy One by chance when she was offering incense in Miaoling Temple, and the Holy One fell in love with her at first sight, so she was brought into the palace. Since then, she has been honored and favored continuously, but——" "One afternoon, the spring palace of Poppy was flooded, and she was resting with the wind and cold again..."

The executive didn't say anything further, Jiang Juan still guessed the ending, he was a little scared.

People were burned alive.

It must be so painful.

Jiang Juan sighed, sympathizing with Yu Meiren's experience, and then he thought of Xue Fangli again.

Yu Meiren died so tragically, Xue Fangli probably didn't feel well.Jiang Juan has a happy family and has never experienced such a thing, but he thinks that if there is such an unfortunate day, he will be very, very sad, and he can't even let it go.

Thinking of this, Jiang Juan was suddenly worried about Xue Fangli.

"Princess, the screen is on, the blue peacock is on!"

Just as Jiang Juan was thinking, the senior executive asked him to watch the peacock, but Jiang Juan was a little absent-minded, "I want to see the prince, can you take me to see him?"

Executive: "...Of course."

It took a lot of work for the executives to get these three peacocks. He endured and endured, and couldn't help it anymore, and struggled again, "Princess, look at this peacock, it has opened its tail!"

Jiang Juan was worried about Xue Fangli, so he shook his head, "Let's go."

The executive forced a smile, "...Okay."

Except him, no one cared about the peacock spreading its tail.

Woo woo woo.

Xue Fangli is in the study.

After all, they broke up with Jiang Juan, and the senior executives sent him to the front, gently persuading him, "My lord, my lord might want to be alone for a while, or else..."

Jiang Juan hesitated for a moment, but said, "Let's take a look first."

The executive had no choice but to nod and knocked on the door.

"My lord, my concubine..."

The voice stopped abruptly.The guard kneeling on the ground in the study, the air was filled with the smell of blood, the executive froze, and the secret passage was not good.

——It's time for the prince to deal with people.

The last time a pack of wolves entered Zhuangzi, no matter what the reason was, the guards could not escape the charge of dereliction of duty, but the prince did not mention it at that time, so he came to punish him today.

The senior official said in a low voice: "The princess is here."

Xue Fangli said expressionlessly: "Send him back."

Jiang Juan hasn't come in yet, but he can hear what's being said inside, of course he refuses to leave, "I won't go back."

Xue Fangli didn't answer, but just looked at the senior officer indifferently, full of hostility.

The senior officer shivered and broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're in a bad mood," Jiang Juan said seriously, "I want to be with you."

Xue Fangli still didn't respond, but looked down at the guards kneeling on the ground - several of them had already been punished and were covered in blood, while many more knelt on the ground in fear, waiting for his fate.

Letting the boy in would probably give him a shock.

He would save the wolf pups he met on the road and the peacocks on the farm, and he would not see suffering, let alone a living person.

Xue Fangli raised his red lips and smiled sarcastically.

He wanted to be a good person in front of the young man, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to put on that gentle and elegant skin.

"Okay," Xue Fangli said after an unknown amount of time, "Then come in."

After the words fell, Jiang Juan was sent to the study.

Jiang Juan was really taken aback, he didn't expect so many people to be there.Jiang Juan also smelled blood. He looked over suspiciously, moved his eyelashes, but said nothing.

After a while, Jiang Juan raised his head and said to Xue Fangli, "My lord, give me your hand."

Xue Fangli glanced at him indifferently, and didn't intend to raise his hand, so Jiang Juan had no choice but to take his hand.

In the next second, something was placed on Xue Fangli's palm.

"Send you flowers," Jiang Juan looked up at him, nonsense seriously, "Where I live, wisteria flowers are also called Wangyou flowers, and they will eat up all the sorrow and unhappiness."

"do not be unhappy."

The boy's long eyelashes were raised, his pupils were clear, his voice was soft and soft, almost coaxing.

Xue Fangli looked at him without saying a word, his hostility was completely appeased in this way.

After a long time, Xue Fangli finally opened his mouth, but he asked Jiang Juan: "They were punished, why didn't you stop them?"

Jiang Juan gave him a strange look, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and the prince will not punish you severely."

Xue Fangli looked calm, "What if the king punishes me severely?"

Jiang Juan shook his head and said earnestly, "My lord, you are so kind, you won't hurt people easily."

Xue Fangli looked at him, the young man smiled with crooked brows, but he only had endless irritability.

Pale fingers twirled a few times, and the petals in Xue Fangli's palm were crushed and wrinkled into a soft ball, glistening with water. He looked down and thought of Jiang Juan with wet eyelashes for no reason.

After a long time, Xue Fangli laughed softly, but his expression was tired, "Yeah, how could this king hurt people?"

"Get out."

He spoke calmly, and the guards who were kneeling on the ground were shocked when they heard the words, and then kowtowed one after another, and left as promised, forcibly suppressing the surprise in their hearts.

The prince will not spare them lightly!

It's... Princess!

Jiang Juan didn't know anything about it. In his opinion, this just confirmed the fact that the prince is a good man again.

Treat him well, and treat his servants generously enough.

The guards left completely. After a long silence, Xue Fangli asked Jiang Juan playfully, "Why do you want to accompany me?"

Jiang Juan replied hesitantly: "It seems that the memorial day of your mother and concubine is coming soon, I'm afraid of you..."

Xue Fangli raised his eyelids suddenly, his expression was cold.

Cining Palace.

Under the golden Buddha statue, the smoke from the gilded incense burner curled up. The Empress Dowager knelt on the futon and chanted sutras.

With a "crash", Jiang Nian lightly turned over the paper, and he picked up a pen to copy the Buddhist scriptures page by page.

"I'm old," the empress dowager sighed when she opened her eyes not long after, "When you're old, you're useless, and you can't even kneel."

Jiang Nian stopped writing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but the Empress Dowager waved her hand, and only asked the maid to come over and beat her leg.

"The Ai family likes a child like you," the Empress Dowager said with a smile on her face as she looked at Jiang Nian, "You're not impetuous, and you can calm down, unlike the sixth child who is always in a hurry and annoys people."

"Father always complains that the younger generation doesn't have a youthful heart," Jiang Nian said, "he would rather the younger generation be more lively."

The empress dowager shook her head and joked, "Then why not change it?"

Jiang Nian said helplessly: "Let the sixth prince listen, it's time to trouble you again."

The empress dowager raised her hand, and the maid helped her up, she snorted softly, "Just make trouble, the Ai family only wants a good grandson, so I don't care about him as a monkey."

Jiang Nian looked at the Empress Dowager, pursed his lips and smiled.

In his previous life, after the death of King Li, Jiang Nian had no intention of meeting the Empress Dowager in Zhao'an Temple, but it was a pity that he was Princess Li at that time, and the Empress Dowager hated the house and black people, and she was quite honest with him.

——The Empress Dowager and the late Yu Meiren seemed to have had a grudge.

After rebirth, Jiang Nian knew the opportunity. Every time the Buddha was born, the Empress Dowager would visit Zhao'an Temple in person, so he also went to Zhao'an Temple on this day. Jiang Nian pretended not to know the Empress Dowager, talked with her, Transcribing Buddhist scriptures for her caught my eye.

"Your handwriting is even more beautiful," the empress dowager praised Jiang Nian's handwritten scriptures, "It's like flowing clouds and flowing water, like a phoenix floating in the water."

"There is a younger brother in the younger generation's family who can write better," Jiang Nian said softly, his eyes flickering slightly, "He writes in a thin golden hand, with a sharp pen, very thin and smooth."

"Oh?" The empress dowager became interested, "I've never heard you mention your younger brother. Who is it? Maybe the Ai family knows."

"Jiang Juan," Jiang Nian said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of the Empress Dowager?"

"Never." The Empress Dowager thought for a while, but she had no impression, "If it is really written so well, Ai's family may ask to come to the palace to have a look someday."

"My younger brother suffered from heart disease since he was a child. He has been recuperating in the countryside. He probably spends a lot of free time, so he spent a lot of time practicing calligraphy," Jiang Nianzheng said, suddenly thinking of something, why, "The Queen Mother..."

"what happened?"

Jiang Nian hesitated and said, "My younger brother is now Princess Li..."

With a sound of "crash", the empress dowager lost strength and tore off the rosary beads, the beads rolled to the ground, and the smile on her face gradually subsided.

"Princess Li," said the Empress Dowager, "The Ai family should be called into the palace to take a good look."

Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly squatted down to pick up the beads, the empress dowager looked at it, and thoughtfully said: "Ruoai's family remembers correctly, in a few days it will be the memorial day for his mother and concubine."

"That wild species must go to Miaoling Temple to worship."

The Empress Dowager's expression was condensed, "That's fine. As long as he pays homage at Miaoling Temple, his princess will come to the palace to kneel down for Ai's family as long as possible."
