Chapter 34 Dependence

Jiang Chenqi had no choice but to follow the path of a traitor arranged by the emperor. In the past, she thought it was good to share the worries for Shen Yan, but now she feels that she should cherish herself more. The emperor has the beauties in the harem who love him, so he does not need the love of a traitor like her.

Looking up at the rafters, Jiang Chenqi said in a disappointed tone: "It doesn't matter if I become a traitor that is despised by everyone and will be infamy for thousands of years. Anyway, I am an orphan. Their disgust will not make my relatives ashamed. I was given the opportunity to learn martial arts by the emperor's favor, and I got If I have the opportunity to grow up, even if the emperor asks me to go to a neighboring country to be a spy, I am willing to do so. This is my destiny, as much as a weed."

Xu Miaoyu burst into tears and started thinking about a solution, "Commander Jiang, don't give up on yourself. No one can save you if you give up on yourself. You have to cheer up."

Liu Suiyue cheered for Commander Jiang and hoped that Jiang Chenqi would not continue to be obsessed with the emperor. He did not realize that the emperor had feelings for Jiang Chenqi. If he liked Jiang Chenqi a little, how could he be willing to let the person he liked be punished?

Jiang Yuyou sent away the two warm-hearted girls, holding a basket for Jiang Chenqi to see, "Miss Xu sent good medicinal materials from last year, as well as healing ointments, and Miss Liu sent delicious cakes."

Jiang Shenqi welcomed the two girls empty-handed and asked Jiang Yuyou to put the gifts away. "Both girls are kind people. Their performance shows that Master's teachings are useful. If I listen carefully to Master's teachings, maybe more people can learn about them," she said. I have changed my mind."

When the news of Commander Jiang's punishment reached the Hou Mansion, Xie Jinghuai wanted to fly to Jiang Chenqi's side immediately, but it was not dark yet and he could not go out openly.

Lin Feng felt that the emperor had done something wrong and punished Jiang Chenqi for good reputation. "The emperor always does this. He leaves things that make things difficult for people to Commander Jiang. When the people complain a lot, the emperor punishes Commander Jiang to calm down the complaints, and then he gets the title of Ming Jun."

Xie Jinghuai didn't feel anything wrong when he was punished, but it was Jiang Chenqi who was punished. Xie Jinghuai couldn't accept it. He clenched his fists unconsciously, "He is really the biggest hypocrite in Northern Qi. He is more pretentious than anyone else. If Jiang Chenqi hadn't boldly detained Yao Shangshu and his family, he would have gone to Dali Temple." It’s not certain how many people will live, the emperor is not generous enough to tolerate others.”

Xie Jinghuai, who was worried, asked the housekeeper to prepare gifts and waited anxiously for nightfall.

When it gets dark, the moon hangs alone in the sky, red lanterns are hung on the streets, and pedestrians are walking and laughing on the road.

Jiang Chenqi was sitting under the eaves blowing the wind, looking up at the white crescent moon, feeling lonely for some reason.

There is an energetic Jiang Yuyou around, and she also gets to know Xu Miaoyu and several kind-hearted girls. She, a person who is used to being alone, actually understands the feeling of loneliness.

Xie Jinghuai lay on the wall and smiled at Jiang Chenqi, "I'm worried that you can come and see if you are okay."

Jumping into the yard, Xie Jinghuai walked into the house to find a stool, sat down next to Jiang Chenqi, put down the package and took out the food box, "I asked the cook to make spring rolls. If you are not happy, eat something, maybe your mood will feel better."

Eating spring rolls quietly, Jiang Chenqi couldn't express her words of thanks. She was grateful to the Marquis for his concern. There were few people who offered help in times of need, and every one of them was worthy of her cherishment.

After eating a few spring rolls, Jiang Chenqi took out her handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands, speaking in a calm tone, "Both the emperor and I are changing. I dare to deceive you into secretly helping Yao Shangshu, who has offended the emperor. The emperor has become cold. He was not before. That kind of people."

When I first met Shen Yan, he was a warm prince.

Shen Yan patiently took care of her and helped her get out of the haze of losing her family. They stayed with each other for eight years. She thought she could rely on Shen Yan, but in the end it was just her imagination.

Opening the water bag and handing it to Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai agreed with Commander Jiang's words, "People will change, and people and things will remain the same. When the emperor overcame all opinions and made you the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army, I and a group of officials felt it was inappropriate. , I’m worried that you are a beauty and a disaster.”

Before returning to the capital, he had a prejudice against Commander Jiang. When he was out marching and fighting, the news from the capital was that Commander Jiang had done evil things. Therefore, he believed that Jiang Chenqi was a villain who followed people's influence, and villains did not distinguish between men and women.

This time when he returned to Beijing and had close contact with Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai realized that the rumors were completely wrong. Jiang Chenqi was clearly the kindest girl in the city, not the cold-blooded treacherous minister that outsiders thought she was.

She had thought about being a beauty before, but the emperor didn't give her a chance. She took a sip of water and found it was honey water. Jiang Chenqi laughed at herself, "Maybe outsiders won't believe me if I tell you. The emperor and I have always kept a distance. I have never even held the emperor's hand." .”

"If I were a treacherous minister whom outsiders said was flattering, I would have found a way to become a concubine. Unfortunately, the emperor always made excuses to reject my advances. He is the Nine-Five Supreme Being. We have been together for a long time, and we have no chance to let nature take its course and get together. "

What's the matter? How could Jiang Chenqi marry Shen Yan? Shen Yan is a heartless and unjust hypocrite. Whoever marries him will be unlucky.

Xie Jinghuai believed that he was not inferior to Shen Yan in all aspects, and hoped that Jiang Chenqi would turn her attention to him.

"You were young when you met the emperor. It's normal to rely on people who help you. That's just dependence, not love. If you like the emperor, you will find ways to marry him. How can you be willing to be a minister? Dependence is different from liking. Commander Jiang is A wise person will know the difference clearly."

There is some truth to what Mr. Hou said. Jiang Chenqi has also been reflecting recently on what her feelings for Shen Yan are. Is it dependence and gratitude, or a woman's love for a man.

Taking the beef jerky handed by the Marquis, Jiang Chenqi ate the beef jerky slowly, thought about it and said seriously: "You are right about the difference between dependence and liking. Seeing that there are more concubines in the harem, I am not too sad. It seems that the emperor First, I was told that I would be given a title, but I was willing to share the emperor's worries, so I accidentally became the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army."

After becoming an official, she was under great pressure and her reputation deteriorated. The relationship between Jiang Chenqi and the emperor became increasingly distant, losing the closeness they had in the past.

They used to chat happily together, and she could occasionally joke. Now in front of Shen Yan, only the courtesy of a courtier is left.

Feeling sad that Jiang Chenqi was deceived by the emperor, Xie Jinghuai encouraged Jiang Chenqi to let go of unreliable dependence, "It is better to rely on me than relying on the hypocrite emperor. I am more reliable than the emperor. If Commander Jiang doesn't believe it, you can go out and inquire. When I am the commander, I am the one trusted by the soldiers." General."

The Marquis has no wife or concubines. Logically speaking, his status means that he does not have to worry about marrying a wife. Jiang Chenqi asked with a smile: "Don't you have the idea of ​​​​marching a wife, the Marquis? There are many girls who want to marry you. If you marry you, you will be able to do well." Mrs. Marquis."

Xie Jinghuai smiled and shook his head to express that he had no idea of ​​starting a family for the time being. Xie Jinghuai gave his reason, "I want to find a wife who is compatible with me, and only one wife is enough. There are many women living in the house. My father only married my mother, and they lived together as sisters." Happy little days. I envy their mutual affection and feel that it is a wonderful thing to spend the rest of your life with your lover."
