Chapter 1097 The Attitude of the Palace (4000)

The Dongting people have been in Beiyan for several months, but Beiyan has been giving them a cold shoulder, saying that they have to wait until the army returns to the court before they can start talking, in order to see their sincerity, but in fact it is a humiliation, and if they tell the third prince clearly, even if he If Jiang Jiuniang is used as a middleman, she will not have a good life.

It was clear that he was actually slapping Jiang Jiuniang in the face.

When Jiang Jiuniang first learned about these things, she didn't actually care. After all, this was what people in Dongting should do, and Bei Yan was so kind to them. But after what happened last night, she couldn't help but think more about the emperor. Do you want to shock the Dongting people or her?
If the emperor really wants to punish her like this, then she really doesn't mind interacting with the Dongting people more.

There is really no shortage of those things in her space, it just depends on how Emperor Beiyan chooses.

After welcoming people in, Jiang Jiuniang still had the same attitude as before. She looked cold and cold, giving people a feeling of being unattainable.

After greeting each other, the third prince took the initiative to explain his intention.

"The reason we came here today is to let Madam get to know my cousin. From now on, my cousin will live here, and Madam Lao will take care of her."

The third prince kept his attitude very low. He suffered the most from Jiang Jiuniang's side, and he did not dare to be too presumptuous at any time.

What's more, this time he still had something to ask for. Before he came, he had always told his cousin not to be presumptuous in front of Jiang Jiuniang, for fear that his cousin would not be able to calm down and get angry.

This reason was unexpected by Jiang Jiuniang. She nodded and said, "This is a matter of duty. Even if the third prince doesn't come, we will still take good care of Princess Sheng'an. I always keep my word."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, the premise is that the third prince can also do what he says."

The third prince did not speak, but handed the token and token he brought to the maid next to Jiang Jiuniang, and then explained: "I have already given instructions to the people over there. As long as I see the token and token, I will obey the order unconditionally." Go and do some business, and I won’t ask any questions.”

"In addition, there is also the property here. As long as there is need, Madam can take it at any time, of course, only Madam herself."

This was the reward he gave Jiang Jiuniang alone and had nothing to do with the emperor.

Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Jiang Jiuniang, and there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

There are no permanent enemies in this world. As long as there is no conflict of interest, we can become friends.

Jiang Jiuniang was not surprised and said: "The third prince does not need to bribe me with the dirty money he earned in Beiyan. If you really have that heart, why not donate the money to the people who are being persecuted by you, so that I can still look up to you." One look at you."

It has to be said that the people of the third prince are really as tenacious as Xiao Qiang. Bei Yan has been severely attacking them for so long, but they can still persist and be activated. This is the force that Emperor Bei Yan lacks around him.

Lu Baichuan and the others have been working hard to cultivate talents in this field, but not long after they started, the emperor started to behave randomly.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Lu Baichuan and the others give up now, the Dog Emperor will not be able to hold on for long and the country will be destroyed.

The smile on the third prince's face was a bit ugly, and Princess Sheng'an's face turned pale with fright. She really didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang to speak so straightforwardly.

Obviously before coming here, her cousin told her that Jiang Jiuniang was easy to get along with, but now it seems that she is not easy to get along with!

"What Madam said is that when I get back, I will arrange for my people to take care of it."

"In addition, my cousin has prepared a gift for Madam today, I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he winked at Princess Sheng'an. Princess Sheng'an stood up quickly and said, "Oh yes, I heard that Madam likes these gadgets. I made them myself. Please don't dislike it, Madam."

The small box was opened, revealing a hairpin made of pearls. The workmanship was very exquisite, and it could be seen that it was new.

Jiang Jiuniang felt her eyes light up, but she didn't expect that Princess Sheng'an was still a hairpin girl.

With this ability, even ordinary girls can live a good life.

"Thank you, I like it very much. But I just came back and I don't know what the princess likes yet. I haven't had time to prepare. I will have someone deliver it to my door when I am ready..."

"No, no need!"

The princess hurriedly interrupted and said with some embarrassment: "Madam, if you don't mind, you can sell me more Lu Hei ducks every day. I really like it!"

Lu Hei Ya has a purchase limit, except for some acquaintances, everyone else has a purchase limit.

As a native of Dongting, Princess Sheng'an definitely does not have the privilege to buy more.

Anyway, she lacks nothing now, she just wants to eat black duck.

Jiang Jiuniang couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't expect that the princess Dongting came to marry was a foodie, which was easy to handle.

She asked someone to give Princess Sheng'an a token, which was equivalent to a membership card, and said, "Princess, take this with you and buy whatever you want."

"Thanks, I like this too!"

Princess Sheng'an held the small token in both hands, as if she had received some precious gift.

Seeing his cousin so happy, the third prince was relieved. As long as they didn't exclude each other and could get along well, he could go back with peace of mind.

Jiang Jiu Niang had people bring food to her. They were all small pastries made by Mrs. Jiang according to the recipes provided by Jiang Jiu Niang. They were fluffy and delicious. Princess Sheng'an ate them very happily, completely forgetting her previous frightened emotions by Jiang Jiu Niang. back.

Let her eat, Jiang Jiuniang continued to discuss things with the third prince. After setting some requirements, she said: "But the ugly words are ahead. The conditions I agreed to today are only valid while our Lu family still has the right to speak in the capital. , thinking about what happened at the banquet last night, the third prince is also aware that the emperor has begun to be afraid of the Lu family, and no one knows how long the Lu family can remain in power."

"As long as we are alive, we will take care of Princess Sheng'an as agreed. But if something happens and we have too much time to take care of ourselves, we will naturally not care about the princess's affairs. At that time, our agreement will no longer be effective, and our Lu family will no longer care about it. It doesn’t matter what Beiyan Court and Dongting want.”

Hearing Jiang Jiuniang's words, the third prince was a little surprised: "You have done so much for Bei Yan, are you really willing to give up just because you just want to?"

"So what if we don't give up? Just think that we don't understand people clearly."

Jiang Jiuniang laughed at herself, but she could see that Lu Baichuan had been feeling uncomfortable for a while.

"As long as Madam is willing, Dongting..."

The third prince was a little excited. He had wanted to poach someone for a long time, but he had never had the chance. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he would be a fool not to do so.

As long as Jiang Jiuniang agrees, Dongting can not only change the current defeat immediately, but he can even sit in the coveted seat!

"No, I don't want to."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jiuniang refused.

She had had this idea before, but she just thought about it. She really didn't like Dongting's methods.

The third prince curled his lips and touched his nose in embarrassment, but he still said unwillingly: "Since you know that Emperor Beiyan is starting to be jealous of you, why are you still willing to do things for him? If this is the case now, why don't we kill you all in the future? Why not do this? , going to Dongting is the best choice." "That's wrong. Although Emperor Beiyan is a little wary of the Lu family, he has never done anything to harm the Lu family so far, and he has not harmed the people. Apart from anything else, Emperor Beiyan has the people in his heart, which is something your Dongting cannot do."

"I will pretend that the Third Prince has not mentioned anything about today's matter, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no need for our cooperation to continue."

Jiang Jiuniang spoke clearly once and for all, which saved him from visiting again and again and sowing discord between the Lu family and the emperor.

The third prince was still very concerned about this cooperation. As expected, he stopped talking and felt much more at ease.

At the same time, someone had already told the emperor about the Dongting people going to the Lu family.

The emperor was reading the memorial and thinking about how to apologize to Lu Baichuan and his wife. This was indeed something he did wrong and he had to admit it.

Then I heard the news that the third prince of Dongting and Princess Sheng'an went to the Lu family.

"What are you doing in Dongting going to the Lu family?"

The emperor frowned, having some thoughts in his mind, but he quickly suppressed the thought, telling himself intuitively that he should trust the Lu family.

The person below replied: "The third prince of Dongting will take Princess Sheng'an to meet Madam Lu. Please take care of Madam Lu and hand over the remaining tokens."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was worrying too much.

He thought that after what happened last night, Jiang Jiuniang was angry and wanted to find someone from Dongting to defect to.

This really looks like Jiang Jiuniang’s style.

But it was obvious that he was overthinking it. He mentally reprimanded himself, waved his hand and said, "Go on, you don't have to keep an eye on the Lu family from now on."

Since he had promised the queen to trust the Lu family, he had to do it, just as a gamble.

"Yes."

The people below retreated. The emperor was a little tired and wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as he got up, someone came again. He was very impatient and said: "We will talk about it later, I want to go for a walk."

The little eunuch held a tray in his hand and was a little embarrassed: "But this is what Mrs. Lu sent to the palace. It is said to be a token handed over by the third prince of the East Court. From now on, it will be directly dispatched by the emperor."

Originally, this force had agreed to give it to Jiang Jiuniang, but now Jiang Jiuniang directly sent the things to him, which was a sign of loyalty to him.

The emperor stopped, picked it up and looked at it. The totem on it was indeed unique to Dongting. However, he did not accept it. He just said: "Mrs. Lu is so loyal. I am very relieved. I gave it to her for safekeeping. By the way, I will give you some gold, silver and jewels as a reward for getting this done."

It was only now that he realized how ridiculous his actions were. It was really strange. Why did he suddenly lose his head and be led away by the nose?

The young eunuch was a little surprised and asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is the power of the three princes of Dongting..."

He has been serving the emperor for a long time, and sometimes he still knows what the emperor is thinking. It stands to reason that the emperor has always wanted this power, so why don't he want it now when it is presented to him?

"Do as I say."

The emperor waved his hand and left directly.

The little eunuch looked at the things in the tray and was a little confused, but he still followed the emperor's instructions and went to the warehouse to get some gold and silver jewelry, and sent them to Jiang Jiuniang together.

Also sent out of the palace was a letter from the queen.

This was something the young eunuch was stopped and stuffed over on his way out of the palace. It was said that the queen specifically told him that it must be delivered to Jiang Jiuniang in person.

The little eunuch did not dare to refuse and respectfully handed the letter to Jiang Jiuniang.

After seeing off the third prince of Dongting and others, Jiang Jiuniang was about to take a nap when someone came to the palace.

I originally thought it was for trouble, but I didn't expect that it was actually a reward.

When she heard that the emperor returned those tokens and gave him jewelry, Jiang Jiuniang's face was calm and she could not even say the words "thank you for the Lord's kindness" weakly.

Until the young eunuch took out the letter written by the Queen and said: "The Queen specially ordered the servant to give it to Madam, and she also asked Madam to read it."

Jiang Jiuniang took it, and it was written on the envelope that Jiuniang had personally signed it.

The Queen's handwriting is in typical small regular script with hairpin flowers, which is very delicate and delicate. One can tell at a glance that the person writing the letter is a very gentle and dignified woman.

Jiang Jiuniang's irritable mood was greatly cured. She put the letter in her arms and asked the maid to take out some money to send the young eunuch away. Then she took the envelope back to the room and opened it.

Jiang Jiuniang thought about many possibilities, but she never expected that this was actually an apology letter from the queen.

In the letter, the queen directly admitted that what happened last night was indeed the emperor's instruction, and stated that she had made it clear to the emperor. The emperor also realized that he had done something wrong and had already driven the slanderer out of the capital. The damage caused to the Lu family this time will be slowly made up for. I hope the Lu family can give the emperor a chance.

In the end, the queen even said that as long as she lived for a day, no one would be able to touch the position of the Lu family.

Jiang Jiuniang's original dull mood was instantly cured. She was indeed angry at the emperor's actions and attitude, which was obviously to kill the donkey.

But the queen is indeed a virtuous and kind person. She immediately discovered that something was wrong with the emperor. She probably talked to the emperor overnight, and she asked for grounding today to make her attitude clear, so that the emperor could rein in the situation.

At the same time, someone sent a letter of apology to soothe the Lu family's emotions. Both the emperor and the Lu family gave an explanation and tried their best to make the best of both worlds.

After reading this letter, Jiang Jiuniang sighed.

The content of the letter was very short, but she could see the queen's helplessness and sadness, and more importantly, her sincerity.

After all, the queen was the first woman Jiang Jiuniang got along with as a best friend after she came to this world. She didn't want to make the relationship between the two so tense because of this kind of thing. With the queen's guarantee, the emperor also made his own decision. The Lu family had to make some concessions when it came to their choice.

After thinking for a while, she walked to the table and started to reply.

However, she was not vague, but explained her and Lu Baichuan's thoughts. They had never had the idea of ​​self-respect as mercenaries. They chose to follow them because they felt that the emperor was worthy. If the emperor no longer needed them, they could retreat at any time. There is no need to remind everyone in a circumstantial way, which will make everyone unhappy.

Then she also said that she still chose to understand, and advised the queen not to worry too much. In a few days, the queen would be lifted from the confinement, and she would go into the palace to explain things clearly to her face to face.

When Lu Baichuan came back in the evening, Jiang Jiuniang handed the letter to him, looked at his reaction and asked, "What do you think?"
