The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 10 Prince Consort Candidates

The next day, Jiang's mansion.

Jing Ming found out that the Fourth Young Master, who always got up earlier than the chicken, hadn't gotten up yet today.

Although it is said that there is no need to go to the Hanlin Academy today, but the young master said that today he will enter the palace to wait for the imperial edict, so as to make up for the savings accumulated by taking the princess out of the palace yesterday.

"Second Young Master, are you up yet?" Jing Ming tentatively asked at the door, but got no response.

In fact, Jiang Nian woke up a long time ago, he was just waiting, waiting for Ning Yuezhao's answer.Yesterday at Tingfeng Teahouse, he pretended to be joking to express his feelings, just to test her reaction.After knowing what she meant, he decisively chose another route.But, he was very uncomfortable.

"Master!" After waiting for a long time without a response, Jing Ming opened the door and came in, but the scene inside the room surprised him.

Jiang Nian was half lying on the couch with a soft pillow, his face was gloomy, his eyes were fixed on the light blue embroidered bamboo pattern ceiling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Jing Ming walked carefully to the bed, wanting to test the temperature of his forehead.

"Crack!" Jiang Nian slapped his hand off mercilessly, and said in a cold tone, "I'm fine."

"Master, did you promise the princess to enter the palace yesterday?" Jing Ming kindly reminded him.

Jiang Nian closed his eyes, "There's no rush." ​​He did mention it, but she didn't agree, so what's the point of him running away now.

Jing Ming scratched her head, pondered for a while, and thought, the young master must be playing hard to get!

Since the young master fell into the water and woke up when he was 14 years old, his whole person has changed.Not only do you not want girls to spend the night in the room, but you also don't like servants to serve you close to you. You have to dress and wash by yourself.The previous self-willedness and arrogance are also lost in the character, and he has become alienated and indifferent, as if he doesn't care about anything.It wasn't until he won the first prize and met the princess that he began to smile and began to actively do certain things.

It was rumored outside that the young master would become a son-in-law, the future emperor's husband. He also saw it yesterday. The young master really liked the princess, but the princess didn't seem to appreciate it.

At this time, Jiang Qixi, the head of the Jiang family, suddenly appeared outside the door. When he saw that Jiang Nian was still "sleeping", he couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "What time is it still lying on the bed?" !"

Hearing his father's voice, Jiang Nian opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again, "Isn't it Xiu Mu today, who is so strict."

Jiang Qixi's eyes widened with anger, always thinking that this child has grown up and is sensible, so why did he revert to his old ways as soon as he won the first prize.He sternly said: "Someone is coming from the palace, the princess announces you to enter the palace!"

Hearing his father's words, Jiang Nian's originally indifferent face was stained with a smile, and a carp jumped up, "Jing Ming, fetch water, I want to wash and change clothes."

Jiang Qixi has been ups and downs in the court for many years, how could he not know the Queen's thoughts, but he also saw the princess's hesitation, now that the princess took the initiative to invite someone, it seems that things have changed, and it should be the change he hoped for.He squinted his eyes and looked at his unhurried son, with a premonition in his heart that the honor of the Jiang family would rise to a higher level on him.

In the palace, Jiang Nian walked towards the Splendid Palace under the guidance of the servant.

At this moment, his black hair was tied with a white jade crown, and his green shirt was like bamboo, making his face even more handsome.

When he stepped into the main hall of the Splendid Palace, he saw Ning Yuezhao in red palace attire reviewing the memorial, with crescent eyebrows, and the pearl tassels hanging from the peony hairpin on her temples, swaying gently by her ears with her movements.

Today, she applied a thin layer of makeup, which made her look even more radiant.

"Princess Qi, Master Jiang is here."

Jiang Nian knelt down slowly, "My minister sees the princess."

Ning Yuezhao looked up at him, her red lips curled up slightly, "Master Jiang is so arrogant, he said yesterday that he would accompany me to read the brochure today, but it was too late to send someone to invite me."

Jiang Nian was shocked by her slightly coquettish tone, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, the thunder was quite loud last night, did you get scared?"

Ning Yuezhao clenched the Langhao brush in her hand, almost having a fit, and asked in a calm voice, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Nian naturally wouldn't say it again, she didn't expect her to enter the play quite quickly.

"Get up." Ning Yuezhao didn't want to argue with him too much, he was called here today mainly for work.

"Thank you, princess." Jiang Nian stood up, sorting out the unapproved memorials and drafting the imperial edict as before.

After Ning Yuezhao finished reviewing a copy, she stopped writing and took a look at Jiang Nian. He was obviously a newcomer to the Imperial Academy, and he did these things much better than the old Hanlin who was on duty the day before.

"Jiang Nian." Ning Yuezhao suddenly stopped him, "Why do you want to take the merit test?"

Jiang Nian's movements paused, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "For you."

Ning Yuezhao was anxious, "Can you be serious?"

The smile on Jiang Nian's face deepened, "Well, I actually have the world in my heart and want to be loyal to the country. Of course, more importantly, I want to guard the country of Daxing with you and create a prosperous world. See Haiyan He Qing, the world is peaceful."

Haiyan and river are clear, and the world is peaceful.

Ning Yuezhao was touched by these eight characters. This is her father's ambition, mother's wish, and her ideal.When she paid her respects to the Queen Mother in the morning, she had already told the Queen Mother about her choice.The empress is very pleased that she can put the overall situation first, and tomorrow she will call the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter of recruiting a son-in-law.

Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't come today, she knew that he wanted to take Joe.Now that she has made up her mind to recruit him to be her son-in-law, she doesn't want to be a married couple with him, at least she wants to be close as a guest.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Jiang Nian continued to write the imperial edict.

Afterwards, the two no longer communicated verbally, but they had a tacit understanding when handling the memorial.

When Jiang Nian carried the stack of memorials to Ning Yuezhao's desk, he found that she was lying on the desk and fell asleep.Jiang Nian gently put down the memorial, and looked at her face so closely only to find that her eyes were black and blue under the makeup.

"Why are you bothering?" Jiang Nian felt a little concerned about why her attitude changed so much today.

Jiang Nian carefully picked her up and walked towards the apse.

Qingchi, who happened to be serving tea, was taken aback by the scene in front of her. She knew Ning Yuezhao's sadness and sleeplessness last night.Therefore, without Jiang Nian's signal, she also knew that the princess should have a good sleep at this moment.

Under Qingchi's guidance, Jiang Nian carried Ning Yuezhao to the apse.

"I'll leave it to Miss Qingchi." Jiang Nian said softly, and he returned to the front hall after speaking.

Looking at his leaving figure, and Ning Yuezhao who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Qingchi suddenly felt that Jiang Nian wasn't too bad.

Jiang Nian, who returned to the front hall, hadn't written a few words when Aunt Bitao, who was serving in front of the queen, came.

"My servant has seen Mr. Jiang."

"You're very polite, aunt." Jiang Nian knew that this was the Queen's confidant, so he didn't dare to accept her courtesy, so he hurriedly supported her.

Bitao said, "Where is Your Highness the Princess?"

"Your Highness is tired of reading the booklets, so go to the back hall to rest first."

"Your Majesty Jiang will go to the Ascending Dragon Palace with your servants. When His Majesty heard that you had entered the palace, he sent your servants to invite people. You know, Your Majesty has been thinking about the story you told that day!"

"Okay, Aunt Lao will lead the way."

It was not as simple as listening to a story for the queen to find him. Jiang Nian had a premonition that something was about to happen.

When he arrived at the Hall of Rising Dragons, the queen saw him with a handsome face, and gave him a seat with a smile.

"Jiang Qing's story from yesterday hasn't been finished yet, so it's time to continue today."

"Yes." Jiang Nian took a closer look at the queen, and found that although she was in a good mood today, her complexion was much worse than before.Since the queen loves to hear stories, he just tells them.

Jiang Nian is a scholar, and Zhou Yihu's story has been polished by him, and the story is very in line with the queen's wishes.

"Do you know?" The queen looked at Jiang Nian quietly, and suddenly said, "You and Chengye are really similar."

"My minister is terrified." Jiang Nian did not expect the empress to comment on him like this.

"Family background, appearance, talent. You are so similar to him." The queen's eyes were a little blurred, and her eyes were full of the appearance of her deceased husband. "Your life is almost smooth, and you have never experienced ups and downs, but it is less than his. A little more forbearing, a little more frivolous."

"This humble minister is ignorant and stubborn, how can he compare with the former emperor's husband." Jiang Nian said modestly, "Your Majesty doesn't know that my father scolded me for being lazy and wanting to sleep more today." He is always funny and free and easy.

The queen sneered lightly, and said indifferently: "Elder Jiang Ge is too strict."

"My father is also doing it for the good of my minister."

"Jiang Qing, I prefer you to be Ah Zhao's son-in-law, are you willing?"

Jiang Nian got up from the chair, knelt down in front of the empress, and kowtowed, "I am so happy!"

The queen looked at the man in front of him who was kneeling on the ground but had a straight back, and said, "Okay, I like your unpretentious temperament. Get up."

Jiang Nian stood up, "I assure Your Majesty that I will do my best to keep her safe for the rest of my life; for Daxing Jiangshan, I should do my best and die."

The empress nodded, her eyes lovingly said, "I know you are a good boy, but there are some things I should let you know."

"My minister is all ears."

"An Chen, Azhao grew up with him since he was a child, and his love is different from others. But I think this is just the attachment of years of companionship, not the love between men and women. In time, she will be able to see clearly who is hers." Beloved. I hope you can be more patient with her."

Jiang Nian didn't expect the empress to tell the story of Ning Yuezhao and An Chen so directly. He hooked the corners of his lips, "Didn't your majesty say that the minister is like the husband of the former emperor? Don't say eight years, even 80 years, I can wait." rise."

The queen nodded in relief, "Then, I will hand over my daughter to you."

Coming out of Rising Dragon Hall, Jiang Nian was in a very good mood.From now on, he will be able to stand side by side with her justifiably.

However, when he returned to Jinxiu Palace, Jiang Nian felt something was wrong, and the palace people were all pushed back.There was only Qingchi alone in the front hall, and when she saw him coming in, there was a trace of strangeness on her face.

"Master Jiang, you are back so soon!" Qing Chi smiled at him.

Jiang Nian ignored her and walked straight to the apse.

"My lord, Her Royal Highness is resting, please don't disturb her."

In desperation, Qingchi wanted to stop him.

But what kind of skill is Jiang Nian, how could he be stopped by her.He easily bypassed Qingchi's interception and entered the apse, but the scene in front of him made the smile on his face disappear.

I saw a man in white half kneeling on the footsteps in front of the bed, holding Ning Yuezhao's hand, looking at her tenderly, with infinite affection on his face.

This scene is so familiar!
The corners of Jiang Nian's mouth curled up slightly, a half-smile, "Doctor An?"
