Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 125 Admitting to using power for personal gain for a woman

Emperor Yongning behind the desk nodded after hearing the eunuch's announcement, "Mr. Xuanzhen."

After a while, he raised his head and saw Xu Junyan walking very steadily, stepping into the imperial study.

Xu Junyan came here in a hurry, and he didn't change his court clothes. He was wearing a stone blue dark embroidered regular robe, and the faint bamboo patterns on it were as elegant as ink.

Emperor Yongning slandered in his heart that if he didn't know his skills and methods, he might really regard him as a famous scholar.

After Xu Junyan stood still, he bowed his hands and bowed, "My minister joins the Holy Majesty."

Emperor Yongning gently put the booklet in his hand on the desk, "It is indeed because I am too impatient to call Jun Yan at this time."

Speaking of this, Emperor Yongning said to Wei Fuhai, who was standing with his hands down, "Director Wei, go to Linqiu Hall and talk to Concubine Li. After discussing the matter with Zhen Guohou, I will go to Linqiu Hall."

Wei Fuhai glanced at Xu Junyan, then bowed in response, and slowly exited the imperial study.

Xu Junyan saw that there were only two of them left in the imperial study room, so he asked, "Is there anything your Majesty wants to discuss with your ministers?"

Emperor Yongning pondered for a moment and said: "Jun Yan knows...the Anxi envoy this time, the third princess of Anxi Royal Court, is still living in Linqiu Palace, so it seems that he will stay in Luoyang for a while."

Xu Junyan nodded slightly, "I have already checked the movements and purpose of the Anxi people in Luoyang City."

Emperor Yongning pressed his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "It's winter now...the grassland is barren...there are quite a few herdsmen in Anxi, if they are all messed up, the southwest border of Da Zhou will not be safe gone."

Xu Junyan's expression remained unchanged, and after a moment of pondering, he said: "My lord, the meaning of the Anxi envoy is not very clear now, and the changes in Luoyang City may just be on the sidelines...and the previous military household rectification in the southwest was also handed over to Cheng Cheng. Lin went to clean up, according to Yichen, Cheng Lin's ability should be fine."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongning calmed down a little. In the arrangement of military affairs, Xu Junyan's methods were indeed superb.

But...it is true that Anxi's mission to Dazhou this time is very unusual.

Although all the tribute items were secure, they sent a fragile, soft and charming third princess...

It would be fine if we can marry Anxi, and we can keep the border peaceful for dozens of years no matter what.

But... Emperor Yongning shook his head slightly, he was a little anxious about this matter now.

He looked again at the note handed over by the officer at hand, it said that there was a problem with the military rations of the Suzaku Camp, and they were not transported from Wanzhou, but the rations from Jiangnan were transferred.

Looking at Xu Junyan's unmoving expression, he said in a deep voice: "Junyan, I heard that... the military rations transferred by the Suzaku Camp this time are not provided by Wanzhou?"

Only then did Xu Junyan's expression change slightly.

Emperor Yongning saw the rare change in his face, which made him wonder.

The person in charge of the food and grass for Suzaku's camp was Jiang Shiheng, Marquis of Jing'an.

This Xu Junyan has such a relationship with the Jing'an Hou Mansion...is it possible?

Taking action to protect such a thing is no ordinary friendship!

Xu Junyan cupped his hands slightly and said: "The whereabouts of this batch of grain in Wanzhou is already being searched, and this batch of grain and grass in Jiangnan was also prepared by the minister earlier, but it is only temporarily embezzled."

"If I remember correctly...the one who dispatched the food and grass for Suzaku's camp this time is the Marquis of Jing'an, right?"

Emperor Yongning stared closely at the man in front of him who was still unabated, but even at this moment... the calmness in his eyes was incomparable!
It made me lose my mind for a moment!
Xu Junyan pursed his lips slightly.

It seems that someone has ginsenged one of his own.

It would have been fine if it hadn't been implicated in the Marquis of Jing'an, but this time it was implicated in the Marquis of Jing'an, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get it out...

"My lord, this subject is just..."

Emperor Yongning didn't wait for him to finish, and said calmly: "Jun Yan, you are decisive and unstoppable on the battlefield...in the army...even in some trivial matters. You don't want to tell me, you Helping the Jing'an Hou Mansion over and over again... just to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, right?"

Xu Junyan lowered his eyes slightly, at this time... admitting that he was cheating for personal gain would be in line with Emperor Yongning's wishes.

Thinking of that girl, his heart moved.

After thinking for a while, when he raised his eyes again, he smiled lightly and said, "I did this... just for Miss Jiang of the Jing'an Hou Mansion."

When these words sounded in the empty imperial study room, Emperor Yongning was almost startled and threw the booklet in his hand!

Xu Junyan, who has always been cold and indifferent, admitted in front of him that he used power for personal gain for a woman? !

At this time Wei Fuhai came in and reported: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the empress dowager heard that the Marquis of Zhen Guo was also here, and that the palace banquet was very lively, so I invite you to go to Linqiu Palace together after discussing the matter with Marquis Zhen Guo."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongning recovered from the shock just now. He nodded to Wei Fuhai, and then looked up at Xu Junyan whose expression remained unchanged.

This man's calm and calm at the moment, as if what happened just now was just his own illusion...

He coughed a little uncomfortably, "Since you settled this matter yourself, Jun Yan, Jun Yan's merits and demerits can be offset... This... It's not easy for me to ask more about this private matter... Then I will not talk to you first Don't worry, it's getting late at the moment, since Concubine Li has invited you, Jun Yan, you can go with me."

Xu Junyan cupped his hands and said, "The minister will accept the order."

But at this time in the Linqiu Palace, after seeing the group of people from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Concubine Li sent Jing Rong to take Jiang Jinqian to the outer hall, leaving Jiang Jinyan alone.

Jiang Jinyan bowed his knees and bowed to Concubine Li, who was sitting on the jade stool, who was wearing a peacock-pattern brocade gown with a pair of clouds and pearls, "Jinyan has met the concubine, and the concubine is blessed and safe."

"This is Jin Yan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an? What a beauty! I am delighted to see Jin Yan...Keep Jin Yan to accompany me to have a chat, Jin Yan will not dislike me restrained you?"

Concubine Li got up from the jade stool covered with a fox fur mattress, and looked Jiang Jinyan up and down.

Not only is she courteous and considerate, but she also doesn't have the slightest pettiness in her demeanor, and she doesn't show any awkwardness.

Concubine Li nodded secretly.

Indeed, this young lady of the Jiang family is not only stunningly beautiful, but what is even more rare is that she is not only superficially beautiful, she has the aura of a prostitute in her whole body.

With such a person, the position of Princess Duan can be secure!In order to better stand by Chengrui's side!

What's more, she has the support of the Fang family behind her!
Coupled with what Jing Rong said above, the extremely long road leading to Linqiu Palace, Jiang Jinyan's expression remained unchanged.

She nodded slightly, this Jiang Jinyan was the one who could bear it and calm down.

The most important thing is...Jing Rong said that Chengrui seems to be interested in Jiang Jinyan...

From this point of view, it is completely suitable!

Although Miss Jiang is not yet at the age of Ji, hasn't Mrs. Jing'an Hou passed away only a few months ago?
As long as we can get married first, and then wait for her to get rid of the obedience, it will be time for Ji, and we can get married at that time.

Concubine Li thought about it, and the smile on her lips became even bigger, and she was full of praise when she pulled Jiang Jinyan.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Jinyan quickly bowed his head and said that he dare not take it seriously.

Concubine Li pretended to have a serious face, "Could it be that Jin Yan thinks that I am old and talk too much?"

Jiang Jinyan sneered in his heart, but smiled lightly on his face: "Jin Yan wouldn't dare, it's just that Jin Yan felt ashamed and didn't dare to be flattered like a concubine. It's all about etiquette, but it's rare that the concubine didn't annoy Jin Yan, she's already very lucky."

In her heart, she thought to herself that Concubine Li had just dealt with her in the previous life, but it was just a matter of face and affection, but in this life, she seems to have used her heart...

But she didn't dare to be sloppy about matters related to Zhou Chengrui, she just responded to Concubine Li's words in a neutral manner.

Seeing what she said, Concubine Li burst out laughing, "Jin Yan is so dignified and courteous... If he came from a small household, then all the women in the palace would have settled down..."

As she said that, she raised her voice and shouted: "Wanrong, bring me the pair of Sixi Ruyi coral bracelets from Ben Gong!"

"Yes."

After a court lady answered, she hurriedly fetched the gold-plated mahogany box inlaid with sapphires that had been prepared a long time ago from the shelf in the side hall.

Concubine Li took the box and took out a pair of excellent red coral bracelets inside.

She smiled and said: "This bracelet is very suitable for Jin Yan. I am very happy to see Jin Yan. Otherwise, this bracelet should be regarded as a meeting gift."

Speaking of which, Concubine Li took the pair of red coral bracelets and tried to put them on Jiang Jinyan's wrists.

Four-happy Ruyi red coral bracelet?

Jiang Jinyan frowned, so precious... This is no ordinary meeting gift!
Happy birthday?What does Concubine Li want to do?
She took a half step back hurriedly, lowered her head and said respectfully, "The gift from the concubine...Jin Yan is very happy, but Jin Yan is keeping his filial piety now, and how can he accept this festive and beautiful bracelet while he is still under restraint? I never wanted to waste it." Jin Yan made an apology for the concubine's thoughts."

Concubine Li saw that she seemed a little oily and salty, so she had no choice but to put the red coral bracelet into the box.

She laughed dryly and said: "How can you say that you are making an apology?! You...you are really a no-nonsense person... Forget it, since Jinyan is a filial person, this matter is also due to Bengong's inappropriate consideration In the future, I will give Jinyan a better meeting gift."

Jiang Jinyan frowned, but he heard some meaning in his heart.

It seems that Concubine Li wants to propose marriage to Zhou Chengrui!
He even took the idea on himself?
Probably because the Fang family is still alive, Concubine Li chose this way, right?
A woman from an unremarkable background, but with the support of a general's family behind her... is really more suitable than her previous self!
Jiang Jinyan sneered for a moment.

The most gloomy thing about Concubine Li in her previous life was that Zhou Chengrui married such a useless young lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion as her main wife.

But in this life... this accident made me dumbfounded!

At this time, a delicate-faced court lady in a pale pink tooth-picking vest gave an announcement and bowed into the inner hall.

When she arrived, she said: "Madam Taifei, He Guiren and Wen Guiren are here together."
