Chapter 18 I won the quarrel, but I can't be happy
Chapter 18 I won the argument, but I’m not happy anymore
This may be the first time that Zuo Lingquan looked at Jiang Yi's appearance and figure with the eyes of appreciating beauty.
Jiang Yi was originally very resistant to this kind of look, especially from Zuo Lingquan, but when it comes to this matter, she finally regained some say in the matter, so how can she push it back again.
Jiang Yi did not hide away, but deliberately sat up straighter, spread her arms, and showed off her proud figure:
"As the eldest princess, I don't know how many men in the world want to be my consort, but I don't care. Today at Qiyuntai, I will choose you in front of the princes and noble sons of the whole dynasty, and I will give you and Zuo enough
My family’s face, do you still think this is a plot against you? Is it true that I am plotting against you for my life’s important events?”
Jiang Yi said these words so confidently and without any guilt that she completely forgot that she originally selected Zuo Lingquan just to make Zuo Lingquan round and flat.
It was difficult for Zuo Lingquan to refute this - he didn't want to be the consort, but Jiang Yi chose him as the consort, which was definitely not malicious to him or even to the Zuo family, and it was his Zuo family who had the upper hand.
Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan was also a little speechless. He hesitated and then said:
"Then the princess chose me as her consort because she likes me?"
Like it? Jiang Yi didn’t know how to proceed. In order to cover up her revenge, she blinked and said:
"This has nothing to do with whether you like it or not. When you choose a consort, you have to choose the most outstanding one. You are the best among two hundred people. I can only choose you. I don't want to choose you. Do you understand?"
Zuo Lingquan was a little embarrassed by the praise, and his attitude softened a little, but he was still not satisfied:
"Well... that night, I told the princess truthfully that I wanted to go to Qihuang Valley to learn from a teacher. Since the princess didn't like me and knew my intentions, why did she choose me?"
Jiang Yi had the upper hand, so she naturally did not give Zuo Lingquan a chance to backhand, and stared:
"Didn't I let you go to Qihuang Valley?"
"I went, but now I'm the consort..."
"If you become a consort, you can't go to Qihuang Valley? Are the two things involved? Does this palace have the final say in the Great Dan Dynasty, or does Qihuang Valley have the final say?"
A series of questions left Zuo Lingquan speechless.
Zuo Lingquan's eyes changed a bit, and he felt strange - in that case, there seems to be no harm in being a consort, and he still got a beautiful fiancée for nothing...
He thought for a while, raised his hand and saluted:
"In the Great Dan Dynasty, Her Highness the Princess has the final say. I was just presumptuous. Please forgive me, Princess."
Jiang Yi stared, feeling relieved when she finally won the argument...but she definitely didn't feel any sense of accomplishment!
Jiang Yi took a breath and calmed down, then raised her hand to help:
"As long as you know, no courtesy."
After that, the car became quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
Zuo Lingquan and Jiang Yi, holding teacups in their hands, sat on either side of the softly carved carvings, with their heads facing each other, their eyes a little dazed.
Zuo Lingquan was confused and didn't understand what the eldest princess wanted?
He beat up the eldest princess in Linhefang. Not only did the eldest princess ignore the past grievances, she also sent him to Qihuang Valley. She also promised him her life and didn't mind him continuing to Qihuang Valley.
How did the eldest princess do this thing of feeding the enemy with her own body and losing her own troops at the expense of herself? Shake her m! Sure enough, her first impression of being big-breasted and brainless was right...
Jiang Yi couldn't understand the current situation. She and Zuo Lingquan were at loggerheads this morning, and wanted to get the situation back when it came time to choose the consort, but she hated it and found that Zuo Lingquan was the most suitable.
It's appropriate if it suits you. Recruit Zuo Lingquan as your consort. Let's take revenge first and then talk about other things.
But after a quarrel, they discovered that Zuo Lingquan was justified and that he was the one who was wrong.
If the fault is yours, then you are in the wrong. If we get along with each other in the future, let alone revenge, Zuo Lingquan will have to deal with it!
How could she, the majestic princess, be suppressed by Zuo Lingquan?
But she couldn't defeat Zuo Lingquan, and she finally found her way back. She was able to get it back by relying on her identity. No matter how much she thought about it, she would lose...
After Jiang Yi was silent for a long time, she felt a little regretful in her heart. But the prince-in-law had already been decided, and the clan was pushing too hard. She had to choose one today. Even if she kicked Zuo Lingquan away, she still had to be among the candidates for the election today.
Choose a new consort.
If we put aside personal grudges and just choose a suitable consort, Jiang Yi has no choice.
Zuo Lingquan had a clean family, good looks, upright conduct, and better martial arts skills than her. She left Zuo Lingquan alone and went to pick a stranger who didn't know her background or character and might stab her in the back in the future.
, you are not joking with your own destiny.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi's mood also calmed down. Anyway, the prince-in-law has been decided, and she can't be soft on Zuo Lingquan. She can do whatever she wants with her other loves.
After Jiang Yi sorted out her thoughts, her expression returned to normal, and she took on the air of a superior person. She put down her tea cup and leaned against the soft bed:
"Zuo Lingquan, I will forget all past grudges and wipe them out. From now on, as long as you are down-to-earth and pragmatic, I will not treat you badly."
These words are announcing who will be on top in the future.
Zuo Lingquan couldn't reject such a big Taoist companion. As long as he could continue to practice, he didn't mind it:
"Princess, just be sensible. We have to go to Qihuang Valley tomorrow, so I won't disturb the princess. I'll take my leave."
Jiang Yi suffered a lot of stimulation today and wanted Zuo Lingquan to disappear quickly, but after thinking about it, she raised her hand to stop Zuo Lingquan who was getting up:
"Wait, um... I have something that needs your attention."
Zuo Lingquan paused, turned around and said, "Eldest Princess, just tell me."
Jiang Yi put away her condescending expression, thought for a while, and then said seriously:
"In recent years, ferocious beasts have appeared frequently around the capital, and the number has increased year by year, which has made the people panic. The imperial study has almost been filled up with all the excuses to hold the palace accountable...
...For these things, Qihuang Valley should have traced the source of the blockage, but I communicated several times, and Qihuang Valley fully agreed. Afterwards, it was better to make a fuss about the beast or to make a fuss. That's it, now even the people created for the imperial court were beheaded.
The Gang Dao can be damaged and useless, and I suspect that Qihuang Valley used the incense money given by the court in other places."
Zuo Lingquan didn't know the details, so he followed the words and asked:
"Is it possible that the people inside Qihuang Valley are greedy themselves?"
"I have stayed in Qihuang Valley for nearly ten years, and I know the character of several senior uncles, so I would not do such a thing. There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur - one is that our dynasty's national preceptor Yue
Pingyang. The national master is the head of Qihuang Valley. He has not shown up for two years. Qihuang Valley is said to be in seclusion. Normally, the retreat does not last this long. I suspect that the national master's training went wrong, causing physical damage and requiring a lot of
Bai Yuzhu took care of his injuries, which led to Qihuang Valley being unable to make ends meet and making many mistakes."
White jade baht is the currency used by practitioners. Zuo Lingquan heard about it and thought about it:
"The National Preceptor is a high-ranking official in our court. If this matter is true and the enemy country knows about it..."
"There is no need to wait for the enemy country."
Jiang Yi sighed softly and pointed to the north:
"There is also Fuqi Mountain in Beiya County, where King Shilie is enshrined. He has wanted to take the place of Qihuang Valley for nearly a hundred years. However, due to the power of the national master, he did not dare to move arbitrarily. Now seeing the frequent occurrence of animal troubles in the capital, he went there.
I sent a few letters to invite you. If it had been better before, with my father and emperor still here, changing the imperial preceptor would have been just a matter of words; but now the Holy Master is only twelve years old, and I am regent as a woman, which has already made the clan quite famous.
Wei Ci, at this time, we are driving Qihuang Valley away and moving Fuji Mountain, where King Lie is enshrined, into the capital. If King Lie comes with him, who will Qihuang Valley help?"
Zuo Lingquan frowned and felt the seriousness of the situation. He thought for a moment and then asked:
"The national master's cultivation is unfathomable, and the chances of something going wrong are slim. What's the second reason?"
Jiang Yi shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the north again: "Fuji Mountain in Beiya County is good at taming animals and started by raising all kinds of strange beasts. The ferocious beasts are also spiritual and will not go to the town to die inexplicably.
, and the ferocious beasts that cause trouble in various places are, without exception, very ferocious, running towards crowded places until they are killed, which is not in line with common sense. I suspect that there is someone behind the scenes, deliberately driving the ferocious beasts to cause chaos."
When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he understood what Jiang Yi meant - this was not suspicion, he made it clear that Fuqishan was secretly driving the ferocious beasts to cause chaos, forcing the court to drive away Qihuang Valley and replace them with them.
"What do you want me to do? Go check Fuji Mountain?"
"Your skills as a three-legged cat are gone before you reach Beiya County and cannot be investigated. Moreover, as long as the Imperial Master is safe and sound, if Fuqishan is given a hundred courages, they will not dare to provoke Qihuang Valley. You are not
I just want to go to Qihuang Valley to study with a master, so I will take this opportunity to pay more attention. As long as I make sure that the Imperial Master is safe and sound, other things are not worth mentioning."
"Qihuang Valley is just outside the city. The princess has never sent anyone to inquire about it?"
"I have inquired about it, but found nothing. There is no national master in Qihuang Valley, and the five masters cannot support such a large business. If the matter is exposed, the birds will definitely occupy the magpie's nest, and they dare not let me or the outside world know. You look smart.
, his character is also good, I think he is liked by several of his uncles, and he might be able to find out the truth."
Zuo Lingquan was rarely praised by Jiang Yi. He smiled and said, "I understand. I will do my best and tell the princess as soon as there is news."
Jiang Yi nodded slowly, hesitated, and then stood up to see him off.
But when the two of them walked to the car door, Zuo Lingquan suddenly stopped and asked seriously:
"By the way, princess, when will we get married?"
Jiang Yi blinked her eyes - when will they get married? The clan and some court officials wanted to choose a consort today, hold a wedding tomorrow, and kick her out of the palace.
Returning to power and leaving the palace can be postponed for some time by using the younger brother, but as a compromise, the time for marriage must not be postponed. According to the Zong family's arrangement, it will soon be...
I have to be pinned down by this little thief under the covers and fucked seriously!
She can't fight back yet!
The corners of Jiang Yi's calm eyes twitched suddenly, feeling uncomfortable all over and her mind slightly confused. She quickly suppressed it and stared at her eyes and said:
"Are you anxious?"
Zuo Lingquan was at a loss for words. If he said he was in a hurry, he would appear to be in a hurry. If he said he was not in a hurry, he would also be suspected of not coveting the beauty of the princess, which made Jiang Yi worried. After thinking about it, he said with a smile:
"I'm afraid that the princess is in a hurry to hold the wedding, so I want to arrange the schedule in advance so as not to delay the wedding."
"Why are you in such a hurry? You should be busy with your own affairs first. I will inform you when I confirm the date."
Zuo Lingquan said no more, raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and got out of the chariot.
