Chapter 78
Being petty
Zhao Pingce sensed the change in Jiang Chenqi and wondered why Jiang Chenqi changed. He speculated whether Commander Jiang had a new backer. Who was the new backer? He actually asked Commander Jiang to abandon his old master, the emperor. Could it be that the new backer was more powerful than the emperor.
Curiosity prompted Zhao Pingce to take the initiative to contact Jiang Chenqi, without his previous condescending attitude.
Before Jiang Chenqi could express his position, Xie Jinghuai was unhappy as an outsider and said gloomily: "Zhao Pingce is so shameless. It's getting late and he actually comes to you for a drink with a jar of wine. Doesn't he understand the principle of avoiding suspicion? The relationship between you two
, not to the stage of drinking and chatting.”
She didn't understand why Mr. Hou was angry, but Jiang Chenqi had no intention of drinking with Zhao Pingce.
Zhao Pingce is the emperor's confidant. She is a rebellious person and should not get close to her.
Patting the Marquis on the arm to tell him to calm down, Jiang Chenqi strode to the door of the small courtyard, "I'm not familiar with Guard Zhao, and we're not close enough to have a drink. Guard Zhao thinks it's boring to drink alone, so you can invite the patrolling guards to drink."
.The guards here are under the management of Commander Zhao, and they are willing to curry favor with you."
Jiang Chenqi was really stingy and didn't want to drink with him. Zhao Pingce said depressedly: "You and I don't have much contact, and we don't know each other well. If you get to know each other better, you will find that I am an easy person to get along with. You said to keep your distance,
I don’t think it’s necessary, maybe the emperor would like to see us getting closer, after all, we are all working for the emperor.”
The emperor could trust the two brothers Zhao Pingce and did not have unreserved trust in her. Jiang Chenqi didn't know the reason. She only knew that this suspicion made her feel unhappy.
She believed that her contribution was no less than that of the two brothers from the Zhao family. She had to bear the infamy for the emperor in eradicating dissidents. She had done so many things and the emperor didn't care. Don't blame her for turning against her.
"Wei Zhao and I are in different situations. Maybe I am not comfortable with this knife, so the emperor plans to change it to another one. The emperor is not stupid. He made me a female official to prove that I have the strength and ability. A knife
When you are disobedient, you may hurt others. Zhao Huwei, do you understand what I mean? I refuse your initiative to get close to you because you are the emperor's lackey."
The word "lackey" makes Zhao Pingce feel harsh. He is a guard with a sword in front of the emperor and a popular man around the emperor. Many people envy his status.
No wonder Jiang Chenqi is a loner, and her mouth is really unpleasant. Zhao Pingce snorted dissatisfied, "Zhao put down his posture to contact you. Jiang Chenqi is too forward-thinking and has too many worries. It is difficult for you to make true friends with your personality. I used to
I advise you to stay away from the disputes in the court. I feel that it is not easy for you as a woman, so I am kind-hearted and want to give you a few words."
After saying a few words of complaint, Zhao Pingce changed the subject and said with a smile: "You have been in contact with my eldest brother, what do you think of my eldest brother? My eldest brother comes from a good family and is good at doing things. He became the commander of the royal guard at a young age. Most people are not like that."
Great ability. If you are willing, how about I match you up? My eldest brother lacks a capable wife."
There are many unmarried girls in the capital, and Zhao Pingce feels that Jiang Chenqi is the most capable.
The noble ladies from the aristocratic family are aloof and the eldest ladies from the government are delicate. They are not as smart and capable as Jiang Chenqi.
The eldest brother married Jiang Chenqi and had a good wife. No wonder she thought what Zhao Pingce said last time was strange. She knew that Zhao Pingce was not a talkative person, and now she knew what he was planning.
Declining Zhao Pingce's matchmaking, Jiang Chenqi said that she had no idea of getting married for the time being, "My status is not worthy of Commander Zhao. Thank you very much for Guard Zhao's kindness. You can choose a well-matched girl for your eldest brother. There are many unmarried girls in the capital. You can choose slowly to find someone you like."
By the way, the Fourth Miss is not married. She is about the same age as Commander Zhao. You can consider the Fourth Miss."
Zhao Pingce did not accept Jiang Chenqi's suggestion and mentioned the Fourth Miss in front of his eldest brother. He was afraid that he would slap her in the face. Who dares to marry Xie Beijing, who is like a tigress.
Unable to drink with Jiang Chenqi, Zhao Pingce left with the wine jar.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Xie Jinghuai felt even more dissatisfied with Zhao Pingce. He strode to Commander Jiang and pulled her into the courtyard.
"Did you see Zhao Weiwei's expression just now? When you mentioned my little aunt, he showed an expression of disgust. What is there to dislike about him? Although Commander Zhao is young and promising, he is not as good at martial arts as my little aunt, and he has no brains.
My aunt is smart, she has a gold medal to avoid death, Commander Zhao cannot compare with her."
Jiang Chenqi smiled and nodded, agreeing with Xie Jinghuai, "I mentioned the Fourth Miss on purpose, so that Guard Zhao would retreat in the face of difficulties. I have no idea of finding a partner for the time being. Guard Zhao brought me and Commander Zhao together. It is really whimsical. His eldest brother and I are not the same at all.
People of the world.”
After being in contact with Commander Zhao, Jiang Chenqi felt no fluctuation in her heart and was not interested in men like Commander Zhao. There was one more person Xie Jinghuai didn't like, the unmarried Commander Zhao.
I wonder why the two brothers of the Zhao family have not gotten married. According to their family background and status, they have no worries about finding a wife. "The two brothers of the Zhao family are a little strange. They don't need to go to the border to fight the enemy. How come they don't have to stay in the capital for so long?
Find the girl you like.
As long as they release the news, the matchmaker can break through the Zhao family's threshold. The two of them are not young, so it's strange that they don't have a partner."
"Maybe the two brothers are Long Yangjun, and Commander Jiang should not have more contact with them. Some men clearly like Lan Yan, disguise their appearance very well, and deceive women into getting married and passing on the family line. Such people are very abominable." Tell the Marquis to stop talking nonsense, Jiang Chenqi
I don’t think they are Long Yangjun. If the two brothers heard these words, they would challenge Marquis Mingying.
"Perhaps I haven't met a suitable girl and I don't want to find anyone to get married. It's better to be a clean person than those playboys. The Marquis seems to have a problem with the two Zhao brothers. They haven't offended you."
Just because he dislikes the two Zhao brothers, Xie Jinghuai hopes that they will get married tomorrow and stay away from Jiang Chenqi, whom he is optimistic about.
He couldn't tell Commander Jiang what he was thinking, so Xie Jinghuai just found any reason to fool him, not wanting to expose his petty intentions.
In the palace dozens of miles away from the Beast Park, Shen Yan knew that the lost tigress was in the Hou Mansion, and he had a feeling that it was true. "This Xie Beijing is really lawless. In order to help the male tiger around him find a partner, he even broke into the Beast Park at night.
Are you sure there is nothing special about that tigress? What did the eunuch who took care of the tiger say?" Eunuch Zhou told the eunuch's explanation. It was just an ordinary tigress, no different from other tigers living in the tiger garden. Put it down.
As for the lost tiger, since Xie Beijing is willing to keep one more tiger, let's leave it like that.
Shen Yan said in an indifferent tone: "In the future, if a tiger hurts someone, arrange for the censor to impeach the bold Xie Beijing to suppress the arrogance of the fourth lady."
