Chapter 27
Confession
Those men were jealous of her joining the court directly as an official without going through the imperial examination, and they kept accusing her of not following the rules, and no one asked her if she was willing to be an official.
Miss Xu and others looked slightly stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you, feeling embarrassed and a little scared.
If they criticized Jiang Chenqi behind their backs and were overheard by the person involved, would Jiang Chenqi target them?
The girls were from a strong family background, and they gossiped about her relationship with the emperor without saying anything outrageous. Jiang Chenqi would not be as knowledgeable as them.
She took the initiative to come over and talk, wanting to use the new knowledge Master taught her.
Master Baiwei said that a strong person's show of weakness can touch people's hearts. Today she will be a weak person.
Stretching out her palms for the girls to see the thick layer of calluses on her hands, Jiang Chenqi said in an indifferent tone: "It's not as good as these girls. They were born with no worries about food and clothing and grew up to be loved by their families. I am an orphan and practice martial arts in order to survive.
, I have fought tigers in the mountains and forests, and eaten poisonous snakes in the desert. Now, no matter how good my martial arts is, I will suffer a lot."
Miss Xu subconsciously stretched out her hand. Her palms were as white as jade, like exquisite ornaments. One look showed that the owner of these hands had never endured hardship.
Looking at Jiang Chenqi's palms again, in addition to calluses, there are also large and small scars. Even the hands of a country farm girl are more beautiful than these hands.
Rolling up her sleeves to expose an arm, Jiang Chenqi looked at the wounds on it with an unchanged expression, "I have many such wounds on my body, except for a decent face. Lying on the bed without clothes, I'm afraid the emperor won't be interested.
I endured a lot of hardships in order to learn martial arts, but the emperor gave me shelter and food, so I learned martial arts to repay his kindness. How could I, who is so ugly, dare to expect to be with the emperor."
Jiang Yuyou, who was standing aside, was so distressed that she wiped away tears. She secretly thought that she should come to the capital as soon as possible and bring Jiang Chenqi, who was studying martial arts hard, back to southern Xinjiang to prevent Commander Jiang from suffering so much.
Miss Xu and several other girls were greatly shocked when they looked at Jiang Chenqi, who had no expression on her face.
Unexpectedly, Commander Jiang, who is so famous, has countless scars on her body. You can imagine how much hardship she endured in private and how much she suffered in order to learn martial arts.
During the talent show, pay attention to the appearance and figure of the show girls. Girls with small scars will not be able to pass the palace assessment.
Jiang Chenqi is covered in scars, so she may not be favored by the emperor. The rumors that the emperor and Jiang Chenqi had an affair are false.
Miss Xu was a noble lady from the Duke's palace. She had some thoughts about the handsome emperor, so she became jealous of Jiang Chenqi, who received special treatment from the emperor. Now that she has discovered the scar on Commander Jiang's arm, she can no longer feel jealousy in her heart.
Wiping her tears and apologizing to Commander Jiang, Xu Miaoyu thought for a while and said: "Commander Jiang, you are very powerful and have done things that we can't do. Don't be a high official now that you are very good at martial arts. You can go and live where you want. After becoming an official,
Even good people will be jealous of mediocre people."
Several girls reacted and persuaded Jiang Chenqi to leave the officialdom. Looking at Jiang Chenqi's bad reputation, it was clear that she was not suitable for being an official. The officialdom was full of men. Who would be kind enough to help Commander Jiang.
The master's advice was indeed useful, and the girls who were dissatisfied with her took the initiative to think about her. Jiang Chenqi sighed slightly, showing a tangled look.
Looking around to see if there was no one else, Jiang Chenqi said softly: "When the emperor was still a prince, he went to great lengths to ask masters to teach me martial arts. When the emperor asked me to be an official, I can naturally do it and work hard to remove obstacles for the emperor. I am so big in the world and have no family.
Where else can I go but stay with the emperor?"
Looking at the location of the palace, Jiang Chenqi deliberately showed a shy expression and said in a cheerful tone: "I am willing to be the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army to protect the emperor. I stand in the Jinluan Hall and look at the emperor a few times every day, and I feel satisfied. The emperor said before that he will wait until the country is stable.
Because of my status, even if I make a small promise, I am willing to stay with the emperor."
Jiang Chenqi, who looked like an infatuated girl, made Xu Miaoyu and others feel strange, and they always felt that something was wrong.
Doesn't the Emperor know that Jiang Chenqi's deep love led her to continue to learn martial arts and leave scars all over her body? Now he can give her a status.
Xu Miaoyu glanced at her friend and saw pity in his eyes. From today on, they changed their views on Commander Jiang and had some objections to the emperor who had a good reputation.
Liu Suiyue strode forward, stood in front of several girls, and said fiercely: "Jiang Chenqi, what do you want to do? Don't hurt my friends, I'm not afraid of you."
Without any further explanation, Jiang Chenqi left silently, seemingly feeling a little lonely behind her departure.
Miss Wu shed tears sadly and said with choked sobs: "It's not easy for Commander Jiang. An orphan works hard to learn martial arts in order to repay her kindness, but her favorite benefactor has no feelings for her. The emperor is really a heartless man. If he pities Commander Jiang, how can he bear to let her become a first-class soldier?"
A high official becomes what people call a traitor."
Several girls felt as if they had eaten coptis. Commander Jiang showed his fragile side, which touched their hearts.
Liu Suiyue, who arrived later, was confused and wondered what happened to her friends and why they were speaking for Commander Jiang.
Faintly hearing the voices of several girls talking, Jiang Chenqi was satisfied with her performance just now and handed the handkerchief to Jiang Yuyou who was crying, "Don't cry, you look good when you smile. I am very grateful for the days of hard martial arts training, those days full of blood and tears."
, let me have good martial arts skills. If I don’t have excellent foundation and talent, I won’t be qualified to be a chess piece.”
Wanting to understand something, Jiang Chenqi felt that suffering is a fortune.
Unlike Xu Miaoyu and others, she has family protection. It is impossible for a weak woman to avenge her family. Her good martial arts skills allow her to secure her position as the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Jiang Yuyou clenched his fists and said in a firm tone: "Sister **, don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge your grievances, choose a suitable husband for you to continue the Chu family's bloodline, and revitalize the Zhenguo General's Mansion."
It seemed like it was the first time someone had said something like this to her. Jiang Yuyou defended her without any secret, which made people feel heart-warming.
For the first time, Jiang Chenqi felt that it was good to have friends to protect her and that she would not be alone on the road ahead.
Reaching out to rub Jiang Yuyou's hair, Jiang Chenqi said with a faint smile: "I will work hard to survive and find the mastermind to avenge my family. After revenge, if I meet a man I like, it would be good to have a child after a romantic relationship. My character is not
Suitable for marriage."
Marrying a virtuous wife, caring for her husband and raising children, the future that ordinary girls long for, Jiang Chenqi has never thought about.
When she was ignorant, she fantasized about marrying Shen Yan. Shen Yan was still a prince at that time, and she secretly hoped to become Shen Yan's concubine in the future.
Having passed the age of daydreaming, Jiang Chenqi only thinks about revenge, and she will not rest in peace until she gets revenge.
Jiang Yuyou looked at the astonishing Jiang Chenqi and thought it would be better for Commander Jiang not to marry.
There was a pleasant sound of the guqin. Jiang Chenqi swam over with Jiang Yu and stood under the tree to watch the girl in purple in the courtyard playing the guqin.
There were other people attracted by the sound of the piano. Several young people in colorful clothes appeared. They saw Jiang Chenqi showing expressions of contempt.
