Power ministers always make things difficult for me

After Pei Qi changed into the imperial uniform, he already looked like a respectable old man. If it was said that he was pretending, Pei Qi had never lost to anyone.

She followed Jiang Lingfeng into the palace, and the venue of the banquet was set up in the Chaotang Hall, a place that Pei Qi was very familiar with.

"Hey? Look, isn't this Mr. Su? Hasn't he already retired, why did he come back again?"

"More than that, look at the person next to Mr. Su, it seems to be His Highness the Second Highness!"

"I don't know what day it is today. Those who should come or not are here!"

"..."

"..."

Along the way, the people who saw Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng were all discussing, their surprised eyes were more probing, and they speculated on each other's purpose for coming to this palace banquet.

It seemed that some people didn't know that Jiang Fengchuan was about to declare himself king.

That's right, even if he made a big fuss about Miss Lu's wedding ceremony, who would dare to publicize it?

The wind is blowing and the grass is turbulent, and in front of him, a "big man", it must be calm.

However, even Pei Qi was surprised that someone could come to the palace banquet tonight.

That is the posture of Pingting, the eldest princess, Jiang Yuelian who is walking towards her.

According to Pei Qi's understanding, this princess has always been a talented daughter who only focuses on poetry, literature and science. Even if there is a big event in the court, it doesn't matter to her.

Although she was favored by the first emperor and was the most honorable princess of Dasheng, she would have no place in the court.

It was also because of this that Rong Qincai didn't take her seriously.

I don't know why she came here today.

Seeing that Jiang Yuelian was about to walk in front of him, Pei Qi bowed his head as a gesture, and saluted: "I have seen the eldest princess."

On the other hand, Jiang Lingfeng gave her a very unscrupulous smile: "Sister Huang, long time no see."

"Master Su, you don't need to be too polite." Jiang Yuelian smiled at the two of them politely, and raised her hand to help Pei Qi up.

But in the next second, she knocked on Jiang Lingfeng's head: "You boy, you didn't even say hello when you left the palace, and you didn't send a letter to Huang Jie during the period, and you didn't even send someone to tell me when you came back. , instead, he went to Mrs. Su first, still called Huangjie? I don’t look like your Huangjie.”

"Alas! Sister Huang, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Jiang Lingfeng quickly covered his head and hid behind Pei Qi, complaining dissatisfiedly: "This is the lady who is still admired by everyone, Eighty percent of them are pretending outside!"

"Stinky boy, can you say one more thing?"

"Stop talking!"

Seeing the two fighting around her, Pei Qi couldn't help laughing as he stroked his beard.

Although Jiang Yuelian and Jiang Lingfeng are not siblings of the same mother, their relationship in private is indeed the best among the many princes.

No matter how Jiang Lingfeng was, he was a martial artist, Jiang Yuelian wanted to beat him up, how could it be so easy?
Seeing that the matter was fruitless, Jiang Yuelian glared at him, and then turned her attention to Pei Qi again.

"Master Su laughed."

On the other hand, Pei Qi shook his head: "It's okay, the eldest princess and the second highness have a deep relationship with each other, and I really envy you."

"My younger brother is usually not serious, but now he even dares to tease the imperial sister." Jiang Yuelian pointed at Jiang Lingfeng and shook her head helplessly.

Afterwards, she lowered her head, as if she was considering something, finally took a breath, hesitated for a long time before planning to say: "I heard that Mr. Su was once a member of the national teacher Pei Qi, and he still has a gift from the national teacher." A gold medal for the arrow."

Pei Qi was startled, looked into Jiang Yuelian's eyes, and unconsciously became more serious: "The lower officials don't understand what the eldest princess means."

"You don't need to be on guard against me." Jiang Yuelian's face was calm and generous: "This kid has been friends with Pei Qi since childhood, and now Pei Qi's whereabouts are unknown. If he finds you, I can easily guess the gold medal." The arrow is in your hand."

"Honestly speaking, I also loathe Jiang Fengchuan. If you want to prevent him from ascending the throne, please do your best."

Pei Qi didn't expect Jiang Yuelian to say such a thing.

This princess has always lived in seclusion, not to mention interfering in the affairs of the court, she has always refused even when several noble girls invited her out for outings. Can't figure out why.

Even Jiang Lingfeng beside him showed doubts.

Pei Qi thought over and over again, but still couldn't help expressing the doubts in his heart: "I don't know why the eldest princess appeared at this palace banquet today?"

Jiang Yuelian pinched the loose strands of blue hair on her chest and stroked them. She looked at Jiang Lingfeng, saw the same confusion in his eyes as Pei Qi, and finally said in a deep voice: "Although I am not familiar with Pei Qi, I am also familiar with it." I secretly admire her style outside the court, she is one of the rare honest people, especially after learning that she is a woman, I admire her even more."

"Since the owner of Yumian Village robbed the execution ground, I have asked people to investigate for a long time, but so far I have not been able to get any news about her. I know that she must be in a difficult situation now, and there is no way to stop Jiang Fengchuan's ascension to the throne."

"Jiang Fengchuan's mind is not pure, and he planned to seek power and usurp the throne earlier. How could the father not know? Although the old man wrote a will for the crown prince to succeed him, he also expected that Jiang Fengchuan would take the throne after he succeeds. The day has something to do, so..."

"There is a second will in my hand."

After Jiang Yuelian said about the second will, Pei Qi was shocked in place, and his heart was even more turbulent.

She never thought that the late emperor would leave a second will!
Not only Pei Qi, but even Jiang Lingfeng was dumbfounded. He grabbed Jiang Yuelian's shoulders, and he deliberately lowered his movements for fear of attracting others' attention, but the excitement in his mouth could not be concealed: "Sister Huang, tell me quickly, What is written in the second imperial edict of the father?"

Jiang Yuelian was in pain from being pinched by him, frowned reflexively, slapped off the big hand on the shoulder, and distanced herself from Jiang Lingfeng.

"The meaning of the edict is roughly that if the crown prince fails to succeed, then the choice of the new emperor must be discussed by Rong Qin and Pei Qi. That is to say, if Rong Qin wants Jiang Fengchuan to succeed, he must go through Pei Qi agrees."

Halfway through Jiang Yuelian's words, she suddenly let out a sneer, and the irony in her eyes was very obvious: "In the eyes of my father, Rong Qin and Pei Qi are both his right-hand men and the most trusted subjects, but he never It occurred to me that the person who really encouraged Jiang Fengchuan to seek power and usurp the throne was actually Rong Qin."

Pei Qi's fists were clenched, and tears welled up in his eyes.

During the years that she had been with the late emperor, she never thought that she would be so highly valued by the late emperor. She only wanted to use her own strength to make the Dasheng country peaceful and the people peaceful.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor even handed over the matter of the new emperor to her in the will...

Pei Qi raised his head, trying to force tears back into his eyes, but inadvertently noticed the very bright star hanging high above the hall.

It's like looking at the first emperor.

How can Pei Qi bear the heavy use of the king?
"But you don't have to be too happy too soon. Now that Pei Qi has a lot of crimes, and he has disappeared, it is up to Rong Qin to decide whether it is black or white? This edict may be overturned by him."

It wasn't until Jiang Yuelian spoke again that Pei Qi, who was sluggish, was pulled back from his thoughts.

Pei Qi wiped away his tears, and bowed deeply to Jiang Yuelian: "Princess, don't worry, even if I risk my life today, I will definitely not let Jiang Fengchuan ascend the throne."

The order of the emperor, the grace of the mighty king, your country, the minister...

Be sure to do your best to keep it.
