Chapter 140 The Old Encounter

Ye Qi ordered five hundred imperial guards to escort the ninth prince, the prime minister and several officials from the Ministry of Rites out of the palace.

The welcoming ceremony crossed the imperial road and headed south.

Arriving outside the city gate, a group of light cavalry waited there quietly.

The woman in the lead sat on a maroon horse, who should be over thirty years old, but her appearance was well maintained, and she looked beautiful and noble.

A blue dress made her look graceful, and her eyebrows were full of passionate style.

The four horsemen behind him were all young men, all wearing brocade clothes and jade robes, with handsome appearances. They knew they were either rich or noble at first glance.

In front of the envoy standing silently, the big word "Jin" fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere was majestic and solemn.

The car drove gradually closer, and the moment when the two sides were so close that they could see the appearance of the woman in the first place.

Prime Minister Gu's eyes shrank slightly, and a clear surprise and disbelief appeared on his face: "Jiang... Jiang Yi?"

The Minister of Rites and several officials were also stunned on the spot.

Several eyes fell on the face of the queen of Jin State in shock - the same face as Jiang Yi, the daughter of the Jiang family who destroyed her family's family more than ten years ago and died of dying childbirth.

It's just that it has a bit more cold and arrogant demeanor than more than ten years ago.

This is a coincidence?

"I haven't seen you for many years, Lord Gu still remembers me?" Jiang Yi sat down and smiled gently, her eyes full of glory. "At the time, Lord Gu was the Minister of Personnel, but he didn't expect that more than ten years have passed and now he has become the prime minister of a country. It's true

It's a happy congratulation."

It's really her!

Prime Minister Gu couldn't react for a moment, "You...you are not..."

"Not what?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, and a cold and thin color appeared in his eyes. "Prime Minister Gu wants to insult my reputation as the queen of Jin?"

Prime Minister Gu's heart sank, the Queen of Jin State.

Even if the woman in front of me is really Jiang Yi, her identity is not something they can be slow to take.

But, does the emperor know about this?

More than a decade ago, Jiang Yi eloped with someone, ruining the reputation of the Jiang family and making the Jiang family a laughing stock.

Grand Tutor Jiang hated her daughter very much, but after she was pregnant and was abandoned by a man, she took her in without grudges.

Later, Jiang Yi gave birth to his daughter Yan Li in the Jiang family and died of dysfunction. He was obviously dead, so how could he become the queen of Jin?

"The Empress and the Princes come from afar, and my emperor welcomes you." The Ninth Prince stepped forward and bowed to the opposite queen and the princes' envoys, "I am here to Mu Tingchuan, the ninth prince of Mu Kingdom."

"According to the will of our emperor, we welcome the empress and the princes and envoys, and let you wait for a long time, please forgive me."

With beautiful eyes around, Jiang Yi looked at the officials of Mu Kingdom who came to welcome guests, and frowned with thin eyebrows: "There is no female official?"

The Minister of Rites was stunned, then reacted and quickly accused him of the crime: "We are rude-"

"It's really unpleasant to be a treat for Mu's country." The first young man on the left spoke coldly, "The prime minister of your country stared at his mother as soon as he came up, and there was nothing that the prime minister of a country should have.

This is one of the rude things."

"My mother is the regent queen of Jin. Even if you, Emperor Mu, don't come in person, you should send someone with enough weight to entertain, such as the Ninth Prince of the War God, which is the second rude."

"Although the mother is the queen who has the power to regent in Jin State, she is a woman who is full of dust and dust. You don't even arrange a female official to serve you? This is the third rude."

"besides--"

"We are really rude first, please take care of it." The Minister of Rites quickly interrupted him and smiled apologetically, "You don't know that the Ninth Prince really can't get away with his wedding today.



The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded: "The emperor has ordered people to prepare a feast in the palace, and also invites the queen, princes, envoys to surrender to the palace together, so that we can welcome all the guests."

"Big wedding?" the queen frowned, "I wonder who the girl he married?"

"It's Yan Li, a cousin of the Jiang family." Prime Minister Gu came back to his senses and his tone returned to his calmness. "Yan Li has been named Princess of Nanyang by the emperor, so this marriage is also a perfect match."

"It's also a good match?" Jiang Yi turned her head and looked at Prime Minister Gu, "What do you mean is that if the emperor did not sign Yan Li as the princess, she wouldn't be worthy of the Ninth Prince?"

Prime Minister Gu choked and couldn't help thinking, if it weren't for the emperor's favor, wouldn't Yan Li not be worthy of the Ninth Prince?

But Yan Li is Jiang Yi's daughter, and Jiang Yi is now the queen of Jin.

In front of Jiang Yi, how could he still say that Yan Li is not worthy of it?

"According to common sense, the Jiang family's cousin's identity is indeed not worthy of the Ninth Prince." His tone was reserved, "After all, what happened fifteen years ago had a great impact on the Jiang family's reputation."

There is a mother whose reputation has been damaged. Not to mention her identity as a person, Yan Li cannot say a happy marriage alone.

"Your emperor knows whether Yan Li deserves it or not." A sarcastic arc flashed across the corner of Jiang Yi's mouth, "Do you think he will favor Yan Li for no reason?"

Prime Minister Gu frowned and silent. What does this sentence mean?

Is there anything else that happened back then?

Well, there should be unknown hidden truths.

Otherwise, a corrupt daughter of the Jiang family would not have been able to become the queen of Jin.

She pretended to die and escape. Someone must have helped her in this matter, otherwise how could she be silent?

Prime Minister Gu was moved when he thought of the current status of the Jiang family: "Does the queen still have any resentment towards the Jiang family?"

"What?" Jiang Yi raised her eyebrows, "You want to stand up for me?"

Don't think she can't see what he is thinking.

Want to use her to deal with the Jiang family?

Prime Minister Gu is very scheming and will not admit it directly: "How can the minister stand up for the queen?"

Jiang Yixi smiled at him without even figuring out the truth.

"It's just that Yan Li has not been doing well in the Jiang family over the years." Prime Minister Gu sighed, with a pity tone, "Without a mother by his side, the child will inevitably suffer some grievances."

Jiang Yi was still silent.

The four princes behind him finally couldn't help but speak, and the first one was the eldest prince Yan Zheng: "We came to Mu Country this time to pick up our sister to go back to recognize our ancestors."

The second prince Yan Chen said calmly, but with a little coldness: "Yan Li is a legitimate little princess of Jin State, with noble golden branches and jade leaves. She is not rare to be the Imperial Princess who is looked down upon in Mu State."

The fourth prince Yan Jin looked handsome and had a graceful attitude: "The eldest brother and the second brother are right. The ninth prince of Mu wants to marry his sister. According to the diplomatic etiquette between the two countries, he should go to Jin to propose marriage in person, rather than marrying him without complaining. He was completely useless.

Jin State takes it seriously.”
