The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a large organization and is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace.

Among them, the internal funds are equivalent to the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, commonly known as the emperor's private treasury.

Emperor Ning Kang was more concerned about the receipt of these millions of taels of silver. With this money, he would not have to fight with the veterans of the court because of the money for a longer period of time. Therefore, he specially sent Dai Quan to meet with Jia Lian.

Make handover.

When these things were done and he came out of the palace, Jia Lian felt completely relaxed.

Although it is impossible for him to cover everything at any time and at any time, he strives to pursue everything carefully before taking action.

As long as the emperor was satisfied with him here, he would go to court tomorrow morning and it would just be a formality. At most, he would just chat with the ministers, and it would not have much influence on him.

They walked towards the West City with their personal guards. Before leaving Xi'an Gate, a beauty in palace clothes blocked their way.

"Why are you here?"

Jia Lian opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that it was the maid given to him by Princess Zhaoyang, named Hu Yuanyao. He was thinking about it, but he still asked.

The main reason why Princess Zhaoyang gave it to her in the first place was to let her act as a liaison to facilitate communication between the two of them.

In order to make it easier for her to enter and leave the Rongguo Mansion, and to avoid too much contact between the princess and Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian did not arrange for her to enter the inner courtyard, but placed her in the east cross courtyard to help him take care of the outer study.

Hu Yuanyao stood outside the carriage and bowed, "Your Majesty, there is an old friend waiting for you to talk to him."

As she said that, she glanced behind her.

Jia Lian followed her line of sight, and sure enough, at the entrance of an alley in the distance, there was a carriage parked quietly. The carriage was neither big nor small, nor gorgeous, and there were no attendants around it. It was parked there, not a bit.

Not conspicuous either.

Jia Lian shook his head slightly. In this case, who else could meet him in this way besides Princess Zhaoyang?

Let’s just say, it’s necessary to be so mysterious and return old friends…

This must have been what Princess Zhaoyang deliberately told Hu Yuanyao to say.

Without hesitation, Jia Lian asked his guards to stand by and followed Hu Meiren to the carriage.

"Master, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has arrived."

Shortly after Hu Meiren's words fell, a beautiful voice, a little joyful and a little joking, sounded out: "Master Jiahou, since we are all here, why don't you get in the car and talk for a while?"

Who is this voice if not Princess Zhaoyang?

When he and Princess Zhaoyang wandered together in the desert for more than a month, spending time together day and night, Jia Lian didn't understand some of her habits.

This little sister always likes to create different atmospheres. In future generations, she must be a woman who knows how to be romantic.

"Since I am invited by an old friend, I dare not obey my order."

Jia Lian said, jumped on the carriage, opened the curtain and went in.

I saw this carriage with a simple appearance, but the interior was decorated with light luxury and elegance. The twenty-nine-year-old Princess Zhaoyang, dressed in a palace dress, was sitting behind a small tea table, making tea leisurely and leisurely.

She has a delicate and beautiful appearance, a noble and elegant temperament, and her casual and natural posture makes her calm and confident that all the ladies in the world cannot match.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Doesn't it mean that the Marquis doesn't recognize me?"

Seeing that Jia Lian kept staring at her and making no move, a smile flashed in Princess Zhaoyang's eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has become more and more beautiful and refined, just like a fairy in the Moon Palace. An ordinary person like me is lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the beauty, so I want to see it all at once."

"Hahaha, Erlang's appearance hasn't changed much after I haven't seen him for a few months. He's still as handsome and handsome. It's just that his mouth is better than before."

Princess Zhaoyang smiled, pushed aside the cup of tea she had just brewed in her hand, and gestured with one hand for Jia Lian to sit down and taste it.

"Erlang knows my tea art, so I won't introduce this tea, lest Erlang say I'm arty and a waste of natural resources.

This cup of tea can be used to quench Erlang's thirst and relieve his fatigue when Erlang returns from a long journey."

Jia Lian did not answer this sentence, but just smiled, picked up the tea, took two sips, and drank it all in one gulp: "Good tea."

"Hehehe..."

Princess Zhaoyang found that her smile had not stopped since she saw Jia Lian. She felt that this would make Jia Lian look down on her, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and said seriously: "You have met my father, has he had any relationship with me?"

You talked about the comments made by some ministers in the DPRK about you? Is there any trouble?"

Jia Lian met Princess Zhaoyang's gaze and saw that she was caring about him, so he shook his head: "It's no trouble. Didn't you say that I am the best at coaxing people? Your Majesty was also very coaxed by me.

I'm happy that with him as my backer, no one dares to cause me trouble."

Princess Zhaoyang's mouth twitched when she heard this.

She said that Jia Lian was the best at coaxing people, but that was ironic because he was good at coaxing girls. Even she, the princess, was coaxed by him.

But his father was neither a woman nor someone easy to coax.

However, she had great trust in Jia Lian's ability. Since Jia Lian said this, she wanted to have a countermeasure, so she skipped this incident.

Lifting her buttocks closer to Jia Lian, she looked up at Jia Lian's face and suddenly said jokingly: "Do you have anything you want to tell me, Erlang, for example, about women..."

Jia Lian's expression condensed slightly when he heard this, and he turned to look at her, as if he felt guilty, "Have you been discovered by Qingran?"

"Keke, what do you think?"

"Okay, I admit, I brought a few women back from Jiangnan..."

Princess Zhaoyang was stunned, "Female? Or several?"

Jia Lian quickly made a frank and lenient stance, briefly describing the origins of Shen Pan'er and others, emphasizing that he brought them back to Beijing because of their talents.

After Princess Zhaoyang heard this, she looked at Jia Lian with a smile. Seeing Jia Lian looking at her sincerely, she suddenly smiled.

"They are just a few beauties. As long as Erlang likes them, he can just keep them by his side. What is this worth?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I know that for you men, the more beauties, the better. Otherwise, why would I have given Yuan Yao to you in the first place.

Who would have thought that someone kindly gave you a beautiful woman, but you didn't appreciate it and let her remain a widow for so long, and then you turned around and fell in love with your cousin, which made her very sad..."

Princess Zhaoyang said, looking sad.

Princess Zhaoyang really doesn't care about courtesans. To her, those women are no different from playthings.

It’s not even comparable to the beauty she gave to Jia Lian. After all, Hu Yuanyao is still the daughter of the gatekeeper of Xi’an, and has a potential political role. She can just give it to Jia Lian, so naturally she can’t care about some low-status people.

woman.

What she originally wanted to say was naturally Daiyu's business, and it could only be Daiyu's business.

This was the gossip she got after Jia Lian left Beijing, but at that time Jia Lian was on business in Jiangnan, so she did not mention it in her letter to Jia Lian.

Now that Jia Lian has returned safely, of course she has to ask.

When her imperial grandmother forced him to marry her, Jia Lian was not willing to marry her, so she turned around and promised Chongnuo to get engaged to her little cousin.

It's strange that Princess Zhaoyang doesn't care.

In fact, Jia Lian also knew that this was probably what Princess Zhaoyang was talking about, and he never thought that this matter could be hidden from her.

Seeing her clarifying her words, Jia Lian sighed, took her into his arms, and said softly: "Since you already know about this matter, you must understand the inside story.

I originally thought that Qingran wouldn't care about this matter. After all, even Feng Yatou, in terms of status, is far from being comparable to you as the eldest princess, let alone her, who has lost both her parents and is helpless.

A weak woman to rely on.

I know that our current situation is that I have wronged Qingran, and I feel sorry for you. To be honest, as long as I have some way to let His Majesty promise you to me, even if His Majesty breaks both legs, I will

willing."

Princess Zhaoyang kept looking at Jia Lian's face while Jia Lian was talking, not knowing what she was thinking.

But her sadness was mostly just feigned. When she noticed that Jia Lian looked so serious and deep, she immediately broke into a smile.

"That won't work. If your legs are broken by my father, this princess will no longer look down on you. Then it's all in vain."

How could Princess Zhaoyang not know that Jia Lian had no intention of provoking her at all at the beginning, and that she had fought for them to develop into what they are today.

Therefore, let alone the current situation, no wonder Jia Lian. Even if Jia Lian changes his mind now and is willing to abandon his first wife and marry another for her, I am afraid it will be difficult to operate.

After all, the face of the royal family is very important. I forced you to marry or not, but now you regret it. What does it mean to be a royal princess?

Besides, based on her understanding of Jia Lian, Jia Lian would never divorce her wife who was just a good-looking woman with a crude personality.

He just wants to have his cake and eat it too!

If it were any other man, Princess Zhaoyang would naturally sneer at him, but because it was Jia Lian, she felt that everything was so natural.

She would rather abandon a man who has a noble status and turn to him, just because he has this qualification.

With the current situation, it was impossible for her to marry into the Rongguo Mansion openly, but she was not in a hurry.

The current situation is actually pretty good.

Work on your own career, and when you want a lover, go on a date like this.

Don't worry yet, after arriving at the Duke's Mansion, you will be jealous of that Wang family.

As for the little cousin of the Lin family who is rumored to be like a fairy, she is also a pitiful person.

Moreover, her father, a courtier, was willing to give her to Jia Lian as his concubine, which shows that both she and her father are very discerning.

Just like myself.
