Chapter 35: Your Highness, please go and see my lord
Everyone present knelt down to pay their respects: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor——"
A man in a bright yellow robe, surrounded by servants and guards, slowly walked towards the banquet.
Jiang Jinshuang saluted with the female family members, but she raised her head through the screen and looked at the bright yellow figure.
My thoughts were lost for a moment.
Jiang Jinshuang suddenly remembered that her father loved her very much a long time ago.
It was a sweltering summer, and her father was worried that she would suffer from heat stroke, so he asked his servants to bring ice cubes from the cold storage, but he didn't give them to Jiang Biechen and sent them to her palace first.
In the past, when he was angry in court, no one dared to offend him after court. Only she dared to go up and talk to him and make him laugh.
He also asked the Crown Prince and Tutor to teach him with him, but she was restless and always made the Tutor squint.
Every time Jiang Jinshuang was punished by the Tutor, she would come to the imperial study and insist on asking His Majesty to help her write out the punishment. The Emperor would put down the memorial in his hand and blame her while helping her copy it out.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Jinshuang and His Majesty also have a good memory.
But, since when did it change?
Jiang Jinshuang narrowed her eyes and her thoughts flew further.
It seems like that time.
That year in the south, there were floods all over the land. People's homes were destroyed by the floods, and their crops and food were also submerged.
She was playing in her father's royal study. After his father learned about this, he called the prince Jiang Biechen to question him on how to govern.
Jiang Biechen suppressed his blush and stumbled, unable to answer.
While Jiang Jinshuang was playing with the priceless inkstone on the desk, she said casually: "Send officials to block the river, and you will be taxed by the disaster."
As soon as she said this, Jiang Biechen and the emperor's eyes fell on her.
Jiang Jinshuang was still unaware, and said in a long voice: "Give the food in the prepared warehouse to the relief, and be careful to care for Sui, so that no one will lose their place."
After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang added: "Anyone who fails to speak up on time can be executed."
Kill decisively, calmly and decisively.
In just a few sentences, we get straight to the point and criticize the current ills.
It was after that day that Jiang Jinshuang discovered that her father's eyes had changed when he looked at her, and his attitude toward her had also changed.
He no longer allowed her to listen to the tutor's teachings. She was not allowed to enter the imperial study room without an edict, let alone see him.
Even the prince's brother Jiang Biechen, who had always been protective of her, became much more indifferent to her and rarely played with her anymore.
In hindsight, Jiang Jinshuang knew that she might have done something wrong.
"Come on, today is just a small spring banquet, you don't have to be formal."
A deep and steady voice came from a high position.
The female relatives around her stood up and sat back in their seats. Jiang Jinshuang finally came back to her senses and sat back down.
At the men's guest table, separated by a screen, in front of Jiang Jinshuang was the seat of Prince Jiang Biechen.
Because he was too far away, Jiang Jinshuang could only vaguely see his blurry figure, which was not clear.
Following Jiang Biechen's gaze, Jiang Jinshuang saw the person on the main seat.
After not seeing him for three years, Jiang Jinshuang felt that he had indeed aged a lot from hearing his voice.
Now that she is able to return to the capital, it is said that the Imperial Master advised that His Majesty's chronic illness requires her to attend to him before he can be cured.
It's just that this is the first time Jiang Jinshuang has seen His Majesty since Bai Yujing came back.
——Still separated by a screen.
Jiang Jinshuang's mood was a little complicated.
In the main seat, the emperor said something again, paused slightly, and rolled his eyes as if he remembered something.
"Zhaoming...are you here for the banquet too?"
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows slightly.
Before she could say anything, Jiang Biechen smiled gently: "Yes, father, Shuang'er is here too. I have just met Shuang'er."
"Oh?" The man on the main seat said in a deep voice, looking towards the female guest, "Zhaoming, come."
Jiang Jinshuang did not expect that His Majesty would order her to see her in front of all the officials.
She stood up slightly and saluted the emperor on the throne through the screen: "My son Zhao Ming, I would like to say hello to my father." The man on the throne was still ill. He coughed twice and waved: "Come to me. .”
Jiang Jinshuang's eyelids twitched: "Yes."
She walked out of the screen and knelt in the center of the banquet: "I have met my father."
Although she was kneeling, her spine was straight and she looked steadily at the man on the throne.
After not seeing each other for three years, Jiang Jinshuang remembered that her father's temples originally had no gray hair.
The eye sockets are also somewhat sunken, and there are some deep grooves at the end of the eyes. Although he looks in good spirits, he is really old.
A strange emotion passed through Jiang Jinshuang's heart.
Emperor Jiang Huayan also looked at her at the banquet.
for a long time.
He waved his hand gently, but there was still no emotion in his tone: "Today's banquet is just for you and Mr. Si Ning."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Jinshuang chuckled and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Father."
With that said, she stood up, glanced at Jiang Biechen, and returned to her position behind the screen.
The meaning of these words was unclear, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, not quite understanding what His Majesty meant to Princess Zhaoming.
——Is this forgiveness...or not forgiveness?
"All the guests are here today, and Mr. Sining has also gone north to Chang'an in person. It's a perfect spring day in Chang'an, so let's have a banquet."
"Have a banquet——"
Following the courtesy call from the chamberlain, all the guests raised their glasses and celebrated.
The female relatives were also smiling, in small groups, drinking a few glasses of fruit wine and talking about their daughters' family gossip.
Jiang Jinshuang is still alone.
There was beautiful dancing and music at the banquet. She poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
She has a good capacity for drinking. The wine in the palace is soft and sweet, so she can't get drunk.
While admiring the beauty of the dancer in boredom, Jiang Jinshuang noticed that Pei Du slowly stood up and left the banquet.
"Yu Rong Yu Rong, look, the Chief Assistant seems to have left the table. Go quickly..."
"I, I..."
"Go, go! We are waiting for you here!"
Amid the cheers of the female family members, Xia Yurong bit her lip slightly and trotted away from the banquet with a red face.
Jiang Jinshuang sneered and looked away.
She didn't notice just now that Jiang Biechen seemed to have left the banquet and went somewhere unknown.
Not far away, Qian Yao walked around the crowd and knocked on the wooden pillar next to Jiang Jinshuang through the screen: "Your Highness, please drink less wine."
Jiang Jinshuang almost laughed angrily: "Why do your adults care so much?"
Qian Yao scratched his head: "My master said that there are too many people today and drinking will cause trouble."
——It seems that Si Ning also felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Biechen's departure.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Jiang Jinshuang shook her head helplessly and put down the wine glass in her hand.
"Oh, your Excellency also said," Qian Yao continued, "He said that the Chief Assistant seemed to be sulky and went out to get some fresh air."
Jiang Jinshuang frowned, a little confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
Why was Si Ning telling her this?
"My lord said, if you want to go out, ask your subordinates to give you some direction."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Qianyao, ask your master, was he a Yuelao descended to earth in his previous life?"
Why are all the threads tied?
Qian Yao said gloomily: "Why don't Your Highness go and see my master in person?"
"Huh?" Jiang Jinshuang heard something, "Sir Qianyao, you are talking so much here, don't you just want me to visit your master?"
Qian Yao, who was exposed, coughed twice and said unhappily: "Your Highness, you don't know, my lord has been surrounded by those ministers and drank a lot of wine. If you don't go over, he won't be able to stand up for a while!"< br>
