In the imperial study, looking at the prince standing below, Emperor Qingfeng narrowed his eyes: "see the queen Xuanji?"
"Yes, very young." Yin Xu replied flatly, really young.
Emperor Qingfeng smiled and scolded: "of course I know she is young. She seems to be only about 20 years old. How do you evaluate the queen Xuanji?"
Yin Xu lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "my son has never contacted the queen Xuanji before. I don't know her. My son thinks the Xiangye around the queen is very interesting."
"Oh? Tell me." emperor Qingfeng leaned back and was rarely interested.
"According to the news just inquired by my son's minister, this Xiangye has a capital accent and his name is Du Zishu. He has been weak and ill before. Now he looks much better."
"Weak and sick... Weak and sick!" emperor Qingfeng repeated two sentences: "did you find out when they entered the capital?"
"My son's minister has asked the old shopkeeper of Yuelai inn. They came to the capital two and a half months ago. After staying in the inn for a night," Your Majesty left Beichen for a few months. Everyone misses your majesty very much. "He stood behind to comb Jiang Chan's hair, and Gesang's lips smiled.
"How about Beichen?" although Beichen always has letters, they know a few after all. It's better to ask people face to face.
"Everything is fine in Beichen. There are those bosses in the court, and there is nothing to do in the court. Your majesty, you made a work plan before, and everyone came according to this plan."
Jiang Chan held her head: "that's good. I don't need to serve here. You're tired all the way. Go and have a rest. I guess I'll attend the banquet in the evening and take advantage of it now."
Gesang bent his knees: "yes, Gesang is going down now."
Not long after Gesang went down, Batu came to report that his Highness the prince sent an invitation to go to the palace for dinner in the evening. Jiang Chan was right when she raised her eyebrows. But if she was out of place, she would do the same.
"Go and reply to the people of the crown prince and say that I will take the Empress Dowager to the banquet on time."
Ji Shi hasn't been to the imperial palace to celebrate the dynasty, and I don't know if she feels fresh. If she goes to a banquet, will the women's dependents of Yu Fu go?
I think the princes and concubines are sure to go, but I don't know if yu Sijing recognizes Ji. Unfortunately, she can't see it with her own eyes.
Jiang Chan sighed with regret. Ji Shi used to eat, drink and play, but she wanted to stage a big play of intrigue with the old emperor. She thought it was unfair, but she wouldn't be happy to let her change with Ji Shi.
Du Zishu knocked on the door and came in: "am I going?"
Jiang Chan glanced at him: "you are my think tank. There are so many people. You let me face those old men alone? Do you think it's appropriate?"
She and Du Zishu are usually very casual, and Jiang Chan rarely puts on the airs of a monarch in front of them. They basically talk about each other.
"What if I go to the banquet and the Du family recognize me?"
Jiang Chan smiled: "it's rare to see you stupid. If they recognize you, they will only be afraid. What are you worried about?"
Du Zishu: "you're right. I'm stupid at this time."
Because he had to go to the banquet in the evening, Gesang only rested for a while and got busy with the maids. Of course, it was mainly to dress Ji. Even if Jiang Chan was there, she didn't like such fancy clothes.
After Jiang Chan was dressed up, she sat next to her drinking tea while watching Ji's dress. Although Ji is nearly 40, she has been living in a privileged life in recent years, and years seem to give her special treatment.
Standing up with a full head of Zhucui, Ji shook his head: "Xuanji, this is so heavy."
Jiang Chan: "ah Niang, you are the face of our Beichen, but you must not be underestimated by those women's dependents. We must first overwhelm them in momentum!"
Ji's fist clenched: "yes, I will do well!"
Jiang Chan smiled: "that's not necessary. Only they please you. You just sit there quietly."
"By the way, there's something I want to talk to you about," Jiang Chan looked into Ji's eyes after holding her breath. "Since it's a group of ministers to dinner, adults will certainly take their families with them. If you see Liu's......"
"Liu Shi?" Ji Shi repeated, "I've forgotten her. Xuanji, you reminded me. If I've seen Liu Shi, what can I do?"
At the mention of Liu Shi, Ji Shi thought of the harsh treatment she had received in the backyard of the mansion, and immediately felt a little nervous.
Jiang Chan held Ji's hand: "don't be afraid. Yu Zhenfei's official position is not high. Liu's position must be behind. She can't turn around in front of you. You should not see her."
"Besides, you are now the Empress Dowager of Beichen and the most noble woman in Beichen. What is Liu's identity? How dare you be presumptuous in front of you? If you see her, you just don't know her."
"Anyway, you don't speak well in the Central Plains. You just eat and drink at the banquet. It's natural for others to talk. The Empress Dowager of Beichen doesn't need to go out to socialize."
Being comforted by Jiang Chan, Ji Shi calmed down. She touched the flame birthmark in the center of Jiang Chan's eyebrows: "if we appear, the people in Yu Fu will recognize it."
Jiang Chan smiled and publicized: "we're afraid they won't succeed? If you recognize us, Yu Fu will only be frightened. How dare you take the initiative to find us?"
Ji Shi doesn't really understand anything. Although Jiang Chan dotes on Ji Shi, she will tell Ji Shi what she should know. Doting is not to let her stay in the greenhouse without knowing human suffering, but to let her know the truth and distinguish right from wrong.
As soon as Jiang Chan said this, Ji's previous worries disappeared. Just like what Jiang Chan said to her before, whoever has a big fist will listen to who. Now Beichen's national strength is strong, and Jiang Chan is on an equal footing with emperor Qingfeng.
