Jiang Li and his party entered the palace, the palace man who led the way was in front, and Jiang Li walked behind. Jiang Jingrui also noticed the gazes of Jiang Li from the previous officials. He wanted to take this to tease Jiang Li. When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Li's expression faint and seemed unpleasant, so he shut his mouth sensibly and didn't dare to say more. Say something.
It is very strange that he is not afraid of anyone in Jiang's family, but he is always a little bit jealous when facing Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li is always smiling, he can tell when Jiang Li smiles politely, when it is perfunctory, and when it is angry.
It's better not to provoke an angry girl, especially if this girl is still Jiangli.
When he arrived in the palace, Jiang Li discovered that there were not many courtiers who came to discuss meritorious services today, at least not as many as the ones from the previous palace banquet. Taking a closer look, Jiang Li understood something in her heart. There are not a few people involved in the right-hand relationship between the Central Government and King Cheng. This time a lot of people have been cleaned up. Among the important ministers, it can be said that there are almost half fewer. Of course, this does not mean that Beiyan’s court situation is in turmoil. Emperor Hong Xiao is afraid that it was a long time ago. He prepared for today and started to support the upstarts. Now these wolf-ambitious old ministers have vacated their seats, just enough to give The newcomer gives way. These new ministers were absolutely loyal to Emperor Hong Xiao. After the veteran ministers like Jiang Yuanbai also abdicated one after another, the pattern in the court was completely different from before, and they were completely Hong Xiaodi's people.
Jiang Yuanbai looked at the people around him, wondering if he also thought of this level, his expression was a bit strange.
Jiang Li thought that the catkins would be here today, but after looking around, he didn't see Mrs. Liu's figure. Want to come to today's palace banquet, Mrs. Liu is not being invited. It seems that all the noble ministers and nobles are coming, and Chengdelang is not his turn to come.
But in this way, Jiang Li has no close friends. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou had two brothers, and soon went to talk to them. Jiang Li stood in the corner of the main hall and stood with Lu's. Suddenly, someone called her fame: "Miss Jiang Er!"
Jiang Li turned her head and saw that Yin Zhiqing was calling her behind her back.
Jiang Li hurriedly said, "Pingyang County Lord."
Yin Zhiqing came over and smiled happily: "I saw you as soon as I arrived, did you just arrive?"
Jiang Li nodded and looked at Yin Zhiqing. Yin Zhiqing's dress today is really very fresh. She was wearing a peacock pattern brocade dress, a rose-red long-tailed luan dress, red lips and white teeth, full of gaze. It was Jiang Li who saw her, and couldn't help but praise her, she was a beautiful lady with a hibiscus jade face.
Yin Zhiqing's charming charm is amazing, but his temperament is completely different and straightforward. She stretched out her hand to pull Jiangli, as if she was very familiar. She said: "My brother is over there, go, you come with me to say hello to him Bar."
Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shi smiled and said, "Xiao Li, just go. It just so happens that the princess prince is also there. It doesn't make sense for you young girl to stay with me."
Mrs. Jiang also nodded. Jiang Li shook his head in his heart, but could only smile on his face: "Okay."
Yin Zhili was standing outside the temple, talking to a young man. In fact, he had been living in the cloud before, and he had no intersection with the people in Yanjing City. But what is strange is that these officials of Yanjing City don't seem to hate him at all. There is no meaning of xenophobia, and it even seems to have a good relationship with him. In Jiang Li's heart, there is another layer of care about Yin Zhili. It is not easy to achieve this. Most of the officials and ladies of Yanjing will think highly of themselves and are unwilling to associate with people who do not look down on them. Even Jiang Li came to Yanjing City for one year. Although he was Miss Jiang Jia, he did not have a good partner. This is certainly because Jiang Li is unwilling to greet them to please them, but they themselves resisted Jiang Li's integration into the circle of ladies from the very beginning.
Yin Zhiqing shouted: "Brother."
Yin Zhili happened to have finished speaking with the person in front of him, and was about to leave. He heard Yin Zhiqing's cry. When he looked back, he was also taken aback when he saw Jiang Li. Then a smile appeared in his eyes and said softly, "Miss Jiang Er."
"Master Yin." Jiang Li replied.
Yin Zhiqing blinked: "Say it first, I'll go talk to my mother first." Before Yin Zhili finished speaking, she ran away. Only Jiang Li and Yin Zhili stood together.
Yin Zhili was a little helpless: "Sorry, my sister..."
"The county owner is innocent and cute, Lord Yin, don't mind." Jiang Li smiled.
Yin Zhili's expression relaxed when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Ms. Jiang is still so considerate."
The two of them stood at the same place, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. The man dressed in white was warm, handsome and gentle. The girl Tsing Yi is agile, beautiful and well-behaved, but she is a very right pair of people. Yin Zhili's appearance is outstanding and his family is naturally favored by many girls. Those who are interested see this scene, but their hearts are half-hearted. If the Yin family and the Jiang family were married, nothing else would have happened. In this way, Yin Zhili and Jiang Li seem to be very familiar. Could this be the case for a long time
Jiang Li felt a lot of suspicious gazes falling on her, and her heart was full of laughter, but she was not nervous at all. In Yin Zhili's eyes, it was Jiang Li who did not dislike being with him. He looked at Jiang Li and wondered: "Why didn't Miss Jiang give your fan with love?"
"Fan?" Jiang Li was taken aback, and suddenly remembered the fan that was confiscated by Ji Heng. Ji Heng said, "Try to accept gifts from other men".
He just took the fan and hasn't returned it yet, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Li was amused, and she smiled unconsciously on her face. Seeing her doing this, Yin Zhili asked softly: "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Li finally recovered and said, "That fan... The summer is about to end. I saw that it was getting cold, so I put the fan away."
Yin Zhili was startled.
Jiang Li wanted to say something nonsense, but suddenly, a voice came from behind him. The voice was lazy, with a little smile, and he spoke unhurriedly.
"I'm always afraid of the autumn festival, the cool breeze will catch the heat, and the donation will be in the basket, and the kindness will be absolute." He smiled and asked with a certain point: "Ms. Jiang Er compares who is to an abandoned wife?"
Jiang Li looked back and saw Ji Heng walking over for some reason.
He probably just arrived, and today he is also wearing a red-bottomed and black peony robe. The gorgeous and deep patterns are worn on him, but they fit in strangely. A man doesn't need to apply fat and powder. Even so, when he stands here, he compares the family of his daughter who is full of wonders, and anyone who is in his pair of narrow, affectionate amber eyes will become eclipsed.
He stood behind Jiang Li, and in front of Jiang Li stood Yin Zhili. Ji Heng was very tall, actually a little taller than Yin Zhili. He just looked at them condescendingly, and stroked his fan with a smile. The fan was unfolded inch by inch, the golden silk peony on it was very enchanting and breathtaking, and at the handle of the fan, a blood-colored butterfly was flying.
Yin Zhili was taken aback for a moment, his eyes followed the fan, and suddenly, he felt that the fan he gave to Jiang Li was really dull and gloomy. His gaze shifted from the fan to between Jiang Li and Ji Heng.
The young man is coquettish and gorgeous, Jiang Li is beautiful and refined, standing together, but there is no strange feeling. If they stand here, they will make others feel ashamed, making people feel that they can't get in between these two people anyway.
That's how it fits.
"Duke Guo." Jiang Li nodded.
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Yin Zhili recovered. He had heard the name of Su Guo Gong. I also know that Yin Zhiqing has been paying attention to him. The last time I glanced quickly, it was not as amazing as this time when I saw it up close. He just wanted to bow to Ji Heng, but Ji Heng didn't even look at him. He walked past him, wondering if it was Yin Zhili's illusion. He felt that Ji Heng glanced at him with sarcasm and contempt.
Jiang Li was a little embarrassed suddenly, scolding Ji Heng secretly in his heart, why should Yin Zhili make a fool of herself in front of her, so how could she get off the stage.
Yin Zhili was very good-tempered. After Ji Heng left, he smiled and said, "When I saw Su Guo Gong today, he really deserved his reputation."
Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili carefully, and said that Yin Zhili really did not have a hint of resentment, as if he were sincerely praised. Whether it's pretending or real, he can do it, at least it won't be embarrassing.
Yin Zhili smiled again: "Ms. Jiang just said that autumn is coming, and the fan is not needed, so it's best to put it away." He said so, but in his heart he read the verses that Ji Heng said. The poem means that the fan is discarded in the autumn, just like a discarded woman. Could Ji Heng's words be a reminder, does Ms. Jiang Er mean anything else when talking about autumn fans
His smile was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Li didn't want to talk to Yin Zhili, and felt a little lost in Yin Zhili, so he took the opportunity to find an excuse to go back to Lu's side. Since then, Jiang Li has been following Lu's every step of the way. She really didn't want to deal with the Yin family's sisters, regardless of Lu's hint to her, all pretending not to know.
Soon after, the emperor and Yin Zhan will also arrive.
Today, the palace banquet was originally held for Yin Zhan to celebrate his military exploits, and it was naturally based on Yin Zhan. It was also the first time Jiang Li saw Yin Zhan. Yin Zhan was different from what she had imagined. She thought that Yin Zhan would look like Ye Mingyu. Today, fear is also the sweetheart of many women. In contrast, Yin Zhili is nothing like Yin Zhan. Yin Zhan's outline and facial features are very deep, similar to Yin Zhiqing, but Yin Zhili is as gentle as an ink landscape painting, soft and messy.
Ji Heng sat in a corner of the hall, in the light and dark of the optical fiber. Jiang Li was too far away from him to see what Ji Heng's expression was. Therefore, I don't know if Ji Heng looked at Yin Zhan and what his eyes were.
The palace banquet began soon.
Jiang Li bowed his head and ate slowly. Up to now, Emperor Hong Xiao hasn't mentioned any rewards, and Yin Zhan naturally hasn't asked for marriage. The empress dowager and queen are also there. The queen mother, who has never been out of Ci Ning Palace very much, seemed very happy today and talked to the queen. Lili, who was once a favorite for a while, has now become a piece of loess, and the courtiers are ready to move, trying to figure out which daughter is the best to enter the palace. Emperor Hong Xiao’s position is now stable. He has no emperor and no worries for the future. He is still young. If any daughter's family is in the eyes of Emperor Hong Xiao, he will naturally take the family to the top.
Therefore, tonight, many young female relatives used all their best to dress up as beautiful as a fairy.
However, Jiang Li didn't think so in his heart. From Li's affairs, it can be seen that this emperor is not an emperor who is indulging in female sex. Wanting to be a second lady, it's not that easy. In the fragrance, Yin's feelings are particularly conspicuous. Her natural beauty and beauty, coupled with her dressing up, make it difficult for people to be careless. Others might think that she is also thinking about entering the palace, but Jiang Li knows. The purpose of Yin Zhiqing is obviously Ji Heng.
You can see that they wore red together today.
The county lord of Pingyang also took great pains this time, but unfortunately, she didn't know that Ji Heng and the Yin family had a deep hatred. They were destined to die and die, and the thoughts of Yin Qing were also destined to lead to bitter fruits.
After drinking wine for three rounds and eagerly waiting for the ears, Emperor Hong Xiao talked about Yin Zhan’s merits in destroying the rebels of the king. He said: "The king of Xia has merits in destroying the king and he deserves to be rewarded. !"
Yin Zhan came out of the seat and everyone was staring at him. He raised his robes and knelt down to Emperor Hong Xiao, saying: "It's a matter for the ministers to destroy the rebels, and the ministers dare not. Taking credit is due to your majesty’s proper transfer of orders. The minister has something to ask for. I hope your majesty will look at the request of the minister for the sake of leading the troops to counter the rebellion."
"Oh? What's King Xia's request, but it's okay." The young emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and even smiled when he looked at the courtier, very generous.
"The minister has one son, and now there are three in twenty," Yin Zhan said: "The dog admires the second lady of the first assistant Jiang Jiadi. The minister risked his death to ask your majesty to marry him and the second lady of the Jiang family. The minister is very grateful."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was quiet, and even a needle could be heard silently on the ground.
Yin Zhan kept his kneeling posture, Yin Zhili was startled at first, then he also stood up and fell to the ground. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't answer for a while, just stared at Yin Zhan, not knowing what he was thinking.
The gazes of the female relatives were half envious and half jealous looking at Jiang Li. The Yin family was willing to exchange military exploits for a marriage gift, which shows that Jiang Li was highly valued. The male relatives are jealous of Yin Zhili. When Yin Zhan said that, Emperor Hong Xiao will definitely agree that Miss Jiang Er will become the first wife of the Yin family in the future.
Jiang Yuanbai's hand in his sleeve was gradually squeezed, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead. Not because of other things, but because Emperor Hong Xiao did not agree.
Why didn't Emperor Hong Xiao agree? It's just a gift of marriage.
Jiang Yuanbai suddenly thought of the words Jiang Li had said to him before. The Yanjing court was still unstable, and it was not a good thing to walk too close to the Yin family too early. Beware of causing trouble to your upper body. He only felt that Jiang Li was a bit alarmist at the time. After all, Yin Zhan had only made such a great contribution, and he had not done anything extraordinary. For so many years, he has been peaceful in the clouds. Emperor Hong Xiao seemed to trust him very much, otherwise he would not. When Cheng Wang was doing things, let Yin Zhan come back to relieve his troubles.
But what does it mean now? Could it be that the emperor didn't completely believe in Yin Zhan
As time passed slowly, Emperor Hong Xiao just watched the Yin family father and son who were kneeling on the ground thinking about it. Gradually, the courtiers felt that something was wrong, and they didn't dare to come out, quietly watching the scene before him.
The Yin family's father and son didn't move, Yin Zhiqing flushed gradually, she didn't know what was going on. She thought everything would happen naturally, but it didn't go so smoothly, no matter how it looked. Under the table, Madam Yin took Yin Zhiqing's hand, and Yin Zhiqing was getting better.
The queen mother saw that Emperor Hong Xiao was reluctant to speak, and smiled: "Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks that this marriage is not bad. The two children look very good, too. The second lady of the Jiang family is a good one, the eldest son of the Yin family. Looking at the Aijia, it is also very outstanding."
As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, someone suddenly laughed. Because no one spoke in the silent hall, this smile with a bit of mockery clearly floated into everyone's ears.
Yin Zhiqing was taken aback. At this moment, someone dared to speak this way. Wasn't they working against the Queen Mother? She followed the voice and saw the red figure she had seen twice, each time dazzling, in the corner, in the lights, slowly revealing the whole thing.
With one hand behind his head and a hip flask in one hand, Ji Heng poured his own wine. He looked lazy and moved at random. In the long or consterious or suspicious eyes, he assumed a posture that didn’t matter to him. But it is particularly moving. He seemed to feel everyone's gaze. He turned his head and saw that his smiling phoenix eyes were almost drowning. He slowly said, "Hehe, King Xia, I'm afraid you are a step too late."
Yin Zhan also looked at Ji Heng, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Yin Zhili's heart. The next moment, he heard Emperor Hong Xiao laugh loudly above his head, and Emperor Hong Xiao said: "Yes, Ai Qing, this time you are one step late. Before you, someone has already asked me on my head, I Even the imperial decree has been drawn up, and we will marry Yu Su Guo Gong and Miss Jiang Er. Su Gong Gong."
Su Gonggong hurriedly stepped forward, took out the sacred decree from the eunuch beside him, and sang in a long voice: "The emperor's emperor said, "Su Guo Gong Ji Heng is filial and filial, both civil and military, and now it has reached the age," The second wife, Jiang Li, the first assistant, Jiang Li, is sixteen years old. She has a dignified appearance and good looks. Therefore, I decree that she will be the wife of Su Guo Gong and get married on the next day. Here is my honor!"
This marriage is really surprising, and everyone can't turn the corner. It is clear that the king of Xia County asked the emperor to marry Miss Jiang Er and the first son of the county prince, but in the end they married Miss Jiang Er and Su Guo Gong. Su Guo Gong
The empress dowager's face changed slightly, Yin Zhan lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly. Yin Zhili's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone. The emperor not only did not marry him and Jiang Li, but also gave Jiang Li and Su Guo Gong, undoubtedly he slapped their father and son severely in the face, making them faceless.
"Master Jiang," Su Gonggong reminded: "Accept the order!"
Jiang Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, stood up and hurriedly got up to take the decree. He was so flustered and astonished that he almost stumbled, but Jiang Li was calm and calm, Ji Heng also came over, and shook his robe. Jiao, smiled and said: "Thank you for your fulfillment."
Emperor Hong Xiao looked at Ji Heng, and seemed very satisfied with his gift of marriage. However, it seemed that Ji Heng was the only one happily. Jiang Li would not show it, but for others, it was more surprise than surprise.
Emperor Hong Xiao looked at Yin Zhan again and smiled generously: "Jun Xia, it's not that I don't want to promise you this time, but you are a step late. I see that your son is indeed an outstanding talent. Why don’t you say that if you look down on another daughter’s daughter, as long as you are unmarried and have no marriage contract, I will give you marriage right now."
The daughter's house full of scenes suddenly became excited again, and they all looked at Yin Zhan expectantly. Married to the Yin family, he is the first son of the princess prince, and he will always become the princess princess in the future. In addition, Yin Zhili is indeed handsome and elegant, which is desirable.
Yin Zhan raised his head, half lost and half relieved: "That's not necessary, this time Miss Jiang Er has no relationship with Dogzi, and I can't blame others." He turned to Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Li, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang Er!"
Jiang Yuanbo smiled reluctantly. He only knew one thing. Emperor Hong Xiao was afraid that his attitude towards King Xia was not as simple as trusting him. Today's gift of marriage, the undercurrent surging behind it made him cold and sweaty. I vaguely felt that I had agreed to the marriage of the Yin family before, and I was afraid that it was a wrong choice. Now it is hurting the Jiang family. Emperor Hong Xiao may also have doubts about the Jiang family.
Jiang Li smiled openly at Yin Zhan. Yin Zhan saw that Jiang Li was not shy, but in such a mood. He narrowed his eyes and turned his eyes around Jiang Li and Ji Heng before he took it back.
This gift of marriage was caught off guard. Then, Emperor Hong Xiao still rewarded Yin Zhan with a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Because Yin Zhili's marriage proposal was not successful, he had to make some compensation. When I returned to the meeting, the center of everyone's discussion had long since changed. Jiang Li, Ji Heng, and Yin Zhili became everyone's talk.
Ji Heng returned to the corner where he was sitting, facing the gaze from all directions, he didn't care about it, still pouring the wine slowly and stubbornly drinking. Of course, those who watch Ji Heng also know his moody temperament and dare not look openly, but secretly and carefully.
By comparison, looking at the gazes of Jiang Li and Yin Zhili, they were a bit unscrupulous.
When Jiang Li returned to the table, the rest of the Jiang family looked inexplicable, especially the two brothers, Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbai, with ugly faces. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, as well as Lu's family, didn't know the hidden inside story, but felt that the man who gave the marriage suddenly became Ji Heng. Compared with Yin Zhili, Ji Heng is moody, and of course he is more difficult to relate to. Not to mention being the uncle of the Jiang family, even on weekdays, you have to hide far away.
Yin Zhiqing sat beside Yin Zhili, his face pale and shaky, almost crying. She originally thought that today was a happy event. Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were hard-wired facts. Her brothers were good at everything. Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were getting along well. The Jiang family also liked Yin Zhili. There was no reason why this marriage was impossible. However, it really won't work.
Not only that, the person who bestowed the marriage to Jiang Li also became Su Guo Gong Ji Heng.
Yin Zhiqing was a bit at a loss. She had only seen Ji Heng twice, but each time she left a stunning impression on Yin Zhiqing. Outsiders were cruel and cruel to Su Guo Gong, but she felt that such Ji Heng was more mysterious. Even though she didn't know anything about love, she knew that Ji Heng was the first man to attract her for so many years. She didn't feel anxious at first, she could slowly get to know Ji Heng, be friends with Ji Heng, and understand him to accompany him, but suddenly, caught off guard, Ji Heng had his wife of the country.
Yin Zhiqing only felt that God was joking with her.
Madam Yin looked at her worriedly, but she was helpless. She was actually unable to speak at the Yin family, let alone change the emperor's imperial decree.
Although Yin Zhili, who was sitting next to Yin Zhan, was smiling, he didn't seem to take the things he had just done to his heart at all. However, if you look at the gesture of toasting carefully, you can see that he is absent-minded.
Not only Yin Zhiqing, but even Yin Zhili himself believed that there would be no surprises in this relationship. The reality slapped him hard, Yin Zhili didn't feel embarrassed but something, he just felt... something strange.
Before the palace banquet began, the beautiful Su Guo Gong passed by him and read a poem slowly. Now thinking about it, he was full of ambitions and laughed at the audience. Yin Zhili thought, he is indeed Jiang Li's autumn fan. When the autumn day arrives, it has no effect, so it should be discarded.
Yin Zhili laughed at himself. He has lived for more than 20 years, and there are countless girls who like him. He didn't expect that he would have a day when he could not love him. He knew that he might not have a deep love for Jiang Li, but he did like it very much, at least until then, he hadn't cared so much about other girls.
That fan... Yin Zhili closed his eyes.
Ji Heng's gorgeous peony folding fan, which he gave to Jiang Li, is a white jade folding fan depicting pear blossoms. He doesn't know how Ji Heng and Jiang Li think of the fan he gave, but it must be... they think he is overwhelming.
Ji Heng must have known about this marriage gift, so he could get the imperial decree before his father, so does Jiang Li know
Involuntarily, Yin Zhili turned his head slightly, and separated the crowd to see Jiang Li.
The girl sits on the mat with a straight back and a beautiful and beautiful profile. There was a faint smile at the corner of her lips, just like the smile she had faced Yin Zhili countless times. But Yin Zhili could tell clearly, her smile was a little more relaxed.
She really knew it, and Yin Zhili's heart sank.
At this moment, Yin Zhan's voice sounded in his ears, the voice was so slight that only Yin Zhili could hear it.
"Do what you should do, now, don't be distracted."
Yin Zhili was agitated, and put on a gentle smile again.
In the high position, Emperor Hong Xiao looked at everything in front of him, seemingly interested, with a slight smile. The queen sat on the side properly and said nothing. She always looked so gentle and submissive, just like the queen mother when she was young.
The queen mother... The queen mother's armor swept across the chair lightly, making a slight noise, but she didn't notice it, her eyes quickly swept over Yin Zhili and Yin Zhan's body, and then disappeared.
No one saw it.
