Chapter 50 Because I like Master Pei~
The ambergris mist in the incense burner in the imperial study circled above for several times.
The rain washes away the spring dust.
Jiang Jinshuang yawned boredly and shrank her neck.
Although it was much warmer in spring, she had not recovered from her injury and was a little afraid of the cold.
Today she was wearing a fox fur cloak, and at the moment she was fiddling with the ribbon hanging from the cloak in a somewhat bored manner, twisting it around her fingertips.
The study was extremely quiet. If you held your breath, you could even hear the sound of wolf hairs scratching across the paper when the emperor was reviewing the memorials.
Jiang Biechen sat upright. When he heard His Majesty's question, he lowered his eyes and moved his eyelids.
for a long time.
"This is naturally a good thing," Jiang Biechen faced Jiang Huayan and said respectfully, "Master Pei and Miss Xia have been in love with each other for a long time. Since you have this intention, why don't your father, who is a man of beauty, decree a marriage?"< br>
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she tugged at the fur on her fox fur and said nothing.
Jiang Huayan stopped writing for a moment.
He raised his eyes slightly, first glanced at Jiang Biechen, and then fell on Jiang Jinshuang, who was doing nothing.
Lowering his eyes again, Jiang Huayan's voice softened a bit, and he still reviewed the notes calmly: "Shuang'er, what do you think?"
Jiang Jinshuang stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the man in front of the desk.
After not seeing him for three years, her father-in-law had gray hair on his temples and a few deep lines on his forehead.
It's just that those eyebrows and eyes are still as sharp and sharp as ever, and there is no discernible emotion.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled slightly: "I think it's inappropriate."
The movement of reviewing the memorials finally stopped.
Jiang Huayan put the brush aside and finally raised his eyes to look at her.
The voice was also tinged with warmth: "Oh? Why?"
Facing the probing eyes of Shang Tianjia, Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Because I selfishly like Lord Pei, I naturally don't want Lord Pei to marry other women."
After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang said: "I know that my father cares about me, but if my father wants to grant a marriage to the two of them, I will not be happy."
As she spoke, Jiang Jinshuang wrinkled her nose in a serious manner, pretending to be annoyed.
Jiang Biechen, who was sitting aside, frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Jinshuang: "Shuang'er, don't be rude."
"Brother Imperial, Shuang'er is just telling the truth," Jiang Jinshuang blinked with an innocent look on her face, "My father loves his son so much, and he certainly can't bear to see his heartbroken."
"Shuang'er——"
"Okay."
Before Jiang Biechen could teach Jiang Jinshuang another lesson, the man in front of the desk laughed twice and his slightly soft eyes fell on Jiang Jinshuang.
"Since Shuang'er loves Pei Aiqing so much, I will refuse Mr. Xia's marriage proposal on your behalf."
Jiang Jinshuang smiled obediently: "Thank you very much, Father."
"But Shuang'er, I can only refuse this marriage for you. If you are happy with Pei Du, you have to work hard on your own."
The implication is that he will not grant a marriage to Pei Du for her and bring them together.
"My son understands."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the originally cold imperial study became a bit warmer.
Eunuch Kang, who was originally fearful at the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the situation now.
Jiang Biechen looked at Jiang Jinshuang beside him with a complicated expression, his brows furrowed.
The marriage grant seemed to have been revealed so lightly. Jiang Huayan seemed to have just remembered something and asked: "Is the wound getting better?"
"Back to my father, the imperial doctor said that there is no fear of life, but because of the serious injury, he still needs to rest for a long time."
The emperor in front of the desk nodded slightly and said in a serious tone: "The palace of the majestic princess suffered such an assassination, it is really lawless!"
Jiang Jinshuang took advantage of the situation and said: "It doesn't matter if I am injured a little, but the assassin is so bold and reckless. I am worried that there are spies from other countries lurking in the capital."
The man on the throne snorted coldly, showing his coercion: "I want to see who dares to do such evil and lawless things!"
After saying that, Jiang Huayan looked at Jiang Biechen coldly: "Biechen, I will give you five days. You will lead Dali Temple to investigate this matter. Is there any doubt?"
Jiang Biechen bowed: "I understand."
After the explanation, Jiang Huayan looked at Jiang Jinshuang, who was sitting a little further away.
He sighed and his voice softened slightly: "Since you are injured, you should take good care of your health. Biechen will take care of other things." "Thank you, father, for your consideration."
After saying that, Jiang Huayan waved his hands towards the two of them: "I still have some things to approve, so please step back."
"My son, please retire."
Everything went according to Jiang Jinshuang's plan.
When Jiang Jinshuang and Jiang Biechen came out of the study, the weather was foggy and very depressing.
Jiang Biechen's face looked very ugly.
"It seems that no matter how long it takes, Shuang'er still can't learn to behave herself and behave herself."
His voice was cold: "If my father hadn't been in a good mood today, Shuang'er would have returned to the fiefdom early again."
Jiang Jinshuang stopped and looked at the imperial brother with a smile.
"Brother Huang, do you really think Shuang'er is lucky?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Biechen narrowed his eyes: "Isn't it? Mr. Pei is now more than ten thousand people. The foundation of the Xia family is not deep, and his status in the court is quite satisfactory. The marriage of their two families is, for the father, a restraint on Pei. The best way to do this.”
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Brother Huang also knows that Xia Mansion's foundation is not deep and its status is not high, so why do you think Pei Du will like Xia Mansion?"
Jiang Biechen was stunned, and his tone was slightly cold: "What do you mean?"
"It means that both you and I can see that Pei Du is now a very popular minister, and my father is a little worried about it."
"Brother Huang is indeed right. Although Pei Du is a powerful minister, he comes from a poor family. As long as he marries a family that is not helpful to him in the court, he can contain Pei Du."
After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang continued: "Brother, please ask yourself, if you reach the status of Pei Du, and you are assigned a humble family like Xia Mansion, how would you feel in your heart? Will you feel sorry for His Majesty?" If you are dissatisfied, the king and his ministers will be angry? ”
Jiang Biechen frowned and seemed to react belatedly: "So, your father thinks that arranging such a marriage for Pei Du will make him resentful and alienate him even more?"
Jiang Jinshuang nodded.
The king is suspicious by nature and the city is very deep.
Even with her understanding of Pei Du, he would never have any ulterior motives, but the Tian family's suspicion was inevitable.
Jiang Biechen looked at Jiang Jinshuang with complicated eyes, and his tone was a little stiff: "So, you also thought of this, and then you dared to let your father refuse this marriage?"
Jiang Jinshuang smiled: "My father wants to refuse this marriage, but he needs a valid reason."
She raised her eyebrows: "So, I have to be the bad guy."
Naturally, the relationship between monarch and minister cannot be damaged. What Jiang Jinshuang said in front of the emperor only gave the Tian family a legitimate reason to refuse the marriage granted by Xia Mansion.
If Xia Wenbin asks about the reason, His Majesty can say that it is she, Jiang Jinshuang, who is unhappy and does not agree to the marriage.
If she insists on granting the marriage, she is afraid that Princess Zhaoming will do something heartless and cause an ugly scene.
In this way, Xia Wenbin will naturally not resent His Majesty, but will only put all the accounts on her head.
——This can be regarded as a favor given to His Majesty by Jiang Jinshuang.
Therefore, in the subsequent conversation, His Majesty's attitude softened a lot, and he was willing to issue an order to track down the murderer for her.
Jiang Huayan is indeed a qualified king.
He puts a clear price tag on all his feelings and doesn't allow any mistakes.
Jiang Jinshuang took a deep breath, smiled self-deprecatingly, and still looked at Jiang Biechen: "Brother, in fact, sometimes, I am really jealous of you."
Because of this incident, the father decided from the beginning to let her be the bad guy.
——The emperor does not care about her reputation as Princess Zhaoming, but the reputation of the Prince of the East Palace cannot be damaged.
Therefore, the reason for refusing the marriage can only be revealed by her.
Jiang Biechen frowned and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But all the words were stuck in my throat and nothing could be said.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled nonchalantly: "Brother, if you want to guess your father's thoughts, just turning your head is not enough."
Not far away, a woman dressed as a nanny walked up to the two of them and turned towards Jiang Biechen.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother knows that you are here and wants to see you."
From beginning to end, Jiang Jinshuang didn't even look at her.
