Chapter 31 The temptation after the palace banquet ended

After the Jiangpinghou family left, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Having lived in a deep palace for a long time, she naturally didn't know the value of this house, so she was just glad that Princess Luoyu's matter had finally come to an end.

My daughter is also careless!

Until she turned her head and saw the emperor's expression suddenly darkened.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor looked at the imperial concubine indifferently and said to the people in the palace next to him: "Princess Luoyu has a biased temperament and is to be grounded until she has finished copying the "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training" and fined her a year's salary.

The fine is one year's salary..."

The imperial concubine's eyes widened.

This imperial edict seemed innocuous, and she didn't lack the money. However, Princess Luoyu was punished along with herself. Wouldn't she have to make other concubines in the palace look down upon her in the future?!

The imperial concubine quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

The emperor ignored it and just waved his hand tiredly: "Zhao Fenghao, draw up a decree! Then draw up a decree to give Master Liu's original house to Jiang Sheng, the adopted daughter of Marquis Jiangping."

The eunuch in charge, Zhao Fenghao, bent down and said, "Yes."

"His Majesty!"

"enough!"

The queen lowered her eyes to hide her gloating look.

As a noble concubine, you still want to fight with yourself?

If that person were still alive, he could probably compare with himself.

But who knows. Maybe even if that person is still alive, according to the emperor's amorous temperament, the cinnabar mole will become an insignificant trace of blood on the wall in this desolate palace.

…

After Jiang Sheng left the palace, his steps became more brisk, and he followed Mrs. Hou and Jiang Xian onto the sedan chair.

Mrs. Hou sat in the sedan and leaned against the side of the sedan. Her whole body relaxed. She immediately picked out a few of the heaviest jewelry and placed them in front of the desk.

She was wearing the imperial uniform, including the jewelry, which had to be paid attention to in a systematic way. It was complicated and heavy, and she had to be restrained in the palace. After this trip, she was almost exhausted.

Mrs. Hou knocked and rubbed her shoulder with one hand: "It's scary to death, such a big tiger, but luckily it wasn't hurt."

Mrs. Hou's eyes fell on Jiang Sheng's sleeves that were cut by claws, and she was a little scared: "What if the skin is scratched? It's still a good day to wear thick clothes, otherwise our Shengsheng will be disfigured.

"

Jiang Sheng stretched out his hand and broke off the torn fabric: "How can the disfigurement be so serious?"

She was indeed dressed thickly. The heat had just subsided, and she was already wrapped in three or four layers.

Fortunately, Jiang Sheng is not afraid of heat, even before and after wearing a book.

Mrs. Hou complained again: "That Princess Luoyu is also ignorant. I don't know how the Queen raised her."

Just as she was speaking, she quickly covered her mouth: "Be careful what you say, you have just left the palace..."

Jiang Sheng laughed.

Mrs. Hou's character is really timid and loves to talk. Even if she loves to talk, she can't talk to others.

"Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't come, but it doesn't seem to matter if he does. Mr. Marquis and Jiang Yan are fine too."

Mrs. Hou patted her chest: "It's just scary to look at."

The younger brother Jiang Yan went to Luo'an City to study with his master from the Ministry of Punishment, and he couldn't make it to the capital for a while.

Also because no one in the palace was thinking of him during the banquet, and he was not old enough to get married, so it didn't matter whether he came or not.

Speaking of the wedding, Mrs. Hou began to worry again: "This is the shortest palace banquet I have ever attended since I was a daughter at home and became a wife and mother... I didn't even have time to take a closer look at the distinguished children.

It’s a good match for our girl.”

"And those children from good families, what should I do if I care about your life experience?"

"Then don't get married." Jiang Sheng said, "Is it possible that if we don't get married, the Hou Mansion won't be able to support us?"

When Mrs. Hou thought about it, it was the same!

In such a large Marquis Mansion, as long as a few children do not commit crimes, they will be able to eat and drink without worries for the rest of their lives.

They had already set off for the palace at noon. Although the palace banquet was shortened due to the White Tiger incident, it was still very late when they arrived at the Hou Mansion.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was big and round, without any dark clouds, hanging in the sky like a jade plate, and it was brighter than the many candles lit in the Marquis's house put together.

Mrs. Hou gave Shan Zhi Shan Nai a few words, saying that Jiang Sheng was frightened and shouted to take care of her, and then followed Jiang Ping Hou back to her yard.

Jiang Sheng also raised her foot to go back to Yusheng Courtyard, but Jiang Xian suddenly called her from behind.

"What's wrong, sister?" Jiang Sheng stopped.

Jiang Xian avoided the maid: "How did you know that there was a tiger at the palace banquet that would come out of the cage and hurt people?"

Jiang Sheng paused.

After thinking about it for a while, she chose to play dumb: "Sister, what did you say?"

Jiang Xian stared into her eyes for a few seconds.

Jiang Sheng blinked, then lost: "How did you know?"

In fact, when she ordered the palace servants to call Jiang Xian, she had already guessed that Jiang Xian might know something from it.

It's just that Jiang Shengyuan thought that he didn't want to harm Jiang Xian, and probably didn't bother to ask according to the temperament of the boss sister.

Jiang Xian asked, "What about you? How did you know?"

Same question, different question.

Jiang Sheng spoke softly: "Everyone has secrets, don't they? Sister?"

As the heroine of Shuangwen Dabo, doesn’t Jiang Xian have enough secrets?

"I can tell you anything you want to know." Jiang Xian's voice was light and strong, "But you have to tell me first, how did you know that a tiger broke the cage at the palace banquet, and how did you know that

There’s something wrong with the cup of tea.”

Jiang Sheng: "???"

Why doesn’t Big Brother Sister play her cards according to the routine?!

Shouldn't the boss sister stop pursuing this issue in order to protect her own vest at this moment?

Jiang Sheng held up his forehead.

I can't tell my boss sister——

I am a scholar. Not only do I know that a tiger will break out of the cage at the palace banquet, but I also know what will happen to you in the future, right?

The atmosphere between the two was tense for a while. The wind blew the fallen leaves in Xianyu Pavilion. Jiang Sheng suddenly felt a chill and shrank his hands.

Jiang Sheng was helpless: "I..."

Before she could think of how to answer this question, Jiang Xian stopped pursuing it.

Jiang Xian changed the subject: "You want to leave?"

Jiang Sheng was stunned: "Ah?"

Jiang Sheng didn't react for a moment, only thinking that the problem was not obvious - it was getting very late, so of course he had to go back to the yard to rest.

Jiang Xian added the object and repeated the question: "Are you leaving the Hou Mansion?"

Jiang Sheng's eyes moved.

Why did the big boss sister ask this? Is it because... she wanted the house given to her by the emperor?

She has indeed been planning to leave. She does not belong to the Hou Mansion, or even to this world. Grandpa is still waiting for her to return.

But didn't I say it when I was in the palace, it was just to recruit a son-in-law.

Jiang Xian seemed to know what Jiang Sheng was thinking, and sneered: "I only want a house to find a son-in-law, so you can just lie to other people."

All right.

Jiang Sheng considered his words: "I saw the appearance of that house last time I went out. I thought it was so beautiful. I don't want anything in particular. I can't let the emperor and princess kneel down to apologize to me, right? So I want that house."

“I have no plans to live there for the time being.”

The clear light of Fifteen is very bright and soft, which just matches Jiang Sheng's jade-like face. Her bun is a little loose, and the falling strand of black hair reflects the faint fluorescent light.

Jiang Xian's eyes fell on Jiang Sheng's face, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he just nodded lightly.
