Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Meet
「「The fastest updated, no pop-ups!
Bai Su had no choice but to comfort Jiang Xian: "You just accompany the Empress Dowager and she are walking around the Imperial Garden for a while. This is better than staying in the Cining Palace Gentle House every day. The Empress Dowager and she have never left this year."
That's true.
Jiang Xian and Bai Su hid in the corner and chatted quietly. The Madam Anlu brought Deng Chenglu to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and said, "This year's Lantern Festival is so lively, so I took our boy out. When I walked to the north of Yuhe Bridge, I realized that you are watching the lanterns here. I came here without invitation and brought our boy out to pay tribute to you."
Deng Chenglu had red lips and white teeth, no longer had the timidity he had when he was facing Jiang Xian. He stood there with gentle eyebrows and eyes, like a beautiful boy, and was also a beautiful boy.
The Empress Dowager was very happy to see him and took Deng Chenglu's hand to ask about his homework. He knew that he had passed the mansion examination and wanted to inherit the Anlu Marquis' Mansion and no longer participate in the imperial examination. He was even more satisfied with his eyes. He praised Mrs. Anlu's wife who could teach children, and asked Deng Chenglu to take her sister Miss Deng to Cining Palace when she had time: "...Bai Su left the palace, and we couldn't even get the cards together."
Deng Chenglu's eyes lit up as he heard this, and he said, "I don't know that you and Princess Jianan like to play cards."
"There is nothing in the palace, I can play cards and spend my days." The Empress Dowager smiled.
Deng Chenglu nodded in understanding and said, "My mother often plays cards when she is at home."
The Empress Dowager nodded straight, and almost couldn't bear to put down the hand when he held him.
After a while, Mrs. An Guogong came with her nephew.
The man who was like Mrs. Anlu brought about the same age as Deng Chenglu. He was famous as Jin Xiao, looked better than Deng Chenglu, and was kind-hearted and generous. He was obviously a child of a noble family. According to him, he is now a guerrilla general in the Yulin General's Office, and his father Jin Haitao is now a general in Taiyuan. His great-great-grandmother is the thirteenth daughter of Emperor Taizong.
It turns out that someone in the family once had a princess.
Jiang Xian couldn't help looking at him.
Jin Xiao glanced at the corner of his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other in the air.
Jiang Xian smiled at him.
Jin Xiao immediately passed through his face and turned around.
Another wife of Jiang Zhenyuan's colleague knew that Fang was here, so she asked the decent nanny beside her to kneel outside to greet Fang. The Empress Dowager simply called the family in to speak.
The lady also had her son with her. Although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyebrows were so handsome that she was eye-catching.
Bai Su held back her laughter and knelt Jiang Xian with her elbow. She whispered: "There are so many people today!"
If Jiang Xian hadn't understood when he saw Deng Chenglu, he would have understood when she saw the son of his colleague Jiang Zhenyuan.
She could only let Bai Su ridicule and couldn't help but feel sympathy for these parties involved.
The husbands who were prepared for her were all taken to Cining Palace one by one, so the Empress Dowager came up with this idea. In the middle of winter, an observation deck was set up north of Yuhe Bridge. Then, the selected people were brought to see them one by one.
When those who met the Empress Dowager did not know how to prepare in a hurry? They didn't know how to come to pay their respects with anxiety...
Jiang Xian looked at Fang, who was sitting in the lower position of the Empress Dowager with a smile. He knew that this matter was also related to her, and was a little moved and helpless.
As Bai Su said, there are quite a few people today. Moreover, the people who came are either very outstanding or come from a noble family, and each one is worthy of her.
If there was no Zhao Yi in the middle.
Jiang Xian always felt that her marriage would not be so easy.
Soon the night darkened.
It's time for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.
The prince of Jinghai, Zhao Xiao, came to pay tribute to the emperor.
Everyone on the observation deck was a little surprised. Everyone looked at each other and invited Zhao Xiao in.
Zhao Xiao respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. He asked the wife respectfully but not cheerfully, and talked about his own affairs: "...I am the only legitimate son in the family. When I was five years old, I asked to be the crown prince. I have been helping my father manage the internal affairs over the years. My father relied on me a lot. A few days ago, he wanted to stay in the capital for more days. My father was afraid that the family would be in chaos, so he wrote a letter to ask me to go back, but I felt that this was an opportunity and could see more.
I have a wide range of knowledge and can make more friends. After replying to my father, my father finally agreed. I may have to live in the capital for three or five years. However, my time has been short and I don’t know much about many things, especially these social matters, I have made up my mind. Seeing that everyone is visiting the Empress Dowager, you are a family, I followed him. If there is any rudeness, please don’t blame me if I see me alone in Beijing.
Did he know what these people who came to visit the Empress Dowager were trying to do?
Jiang Xian complained in his heart.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Good boy, you have the will. When you have time, go to Cining Palace to play."
This is the third person invited by the Empress Dowager tonight.
The first one is Deng Chenglu, the second one is Jin Xiao, and the third one is Zhao Xiao.
Jiang Xian frowned slightly.
Wang Zan broke in.
He turned against his past taciturn and low-key and restrained, but walked in with a smile and shouted, and held a mahogany and glass lantern in the back and said, "Empress Dowager, I know that you are here in Jianan. Look, I won this riddle when I was guessing riddles on Xuanwumen Street and specially sent it to Jianan."
The Empress Dowager laughed and asked someone to take the lamp and hand it to Jiang Xian, saying, "What riddles do you guess?"
"Big geese!" Wang Zan said, "A story."
The Empress Dowager was old and didn't want to use her brain. She smiled and said, "What is that?"
Wang Zan lowered his head and said softly: "From south and north."
"How can such a mystery come up during the festival?" The Empress Dowager smiled dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Xian turned his face away.
This is the riddle she asked Wang Zan to guess that year.
She made up her own random things.
Wang Zan guessed for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and it was the answer she told him.
It's a good idea to guess this riddle today.
Jiang Xian looked down at the cat's eye stone as big as a grain of rice on the tip of his shoe, and felt sour. Until Bai Su handed her the lamp that Wang Zan gave her, she realized that the picture of He Xiangu crossing the sea was painted on the lantern.
When she was a child, Wang Zan told her about the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and her favorite was Fairy Gu.
I think it is amazing that a woman can become an immortal.
Now it seems, it's too lonely.
When she returned to Cining Palace at night, she hung the lantern under the eaves of the bed and lit a thick red candle.
I don’t know if this red candle can be lit until dawn.
Jiang Xian thought, and fell asleep in a daze.
Yi Zai woke up early in the morning and before he finished washing, the lover told her: "The Duke of Zhenguo has come here, and the Empress Dowager has left the Duke of Zhenguo to have breakfast together. Do you want to go there early?"
Is it necessary to determine the final list of her husband's candidates?
Jiang Xian looked at the extinguished lantern and was very interested.
