Chapter 16 Borrowing the General’s Seal for Use
"There are not so many cumbersome rules this year. This year, anyone from an official family, regardless of gender, can participate as long as they can ride a horse or shoot an arrow."
Feng Yi added.
Jiang Yunshang didn't ask much. After all, with his current status, these rules might just be a matter of his words.
She originally planned to postpone it by saying that her archery skills were not very good, but also thought that since he had already invited her, she would not be able to refuse.
"Miss, what do the concubine and the prince mean by their words today?"
Having Xiao Yun accompany Jiang Yunshang on this trip today has always made her uneasy.
Recalling their words, she always felt that there was something in them, and she felt very worried for Jiang Yunshang.
"Which sentence?" But Jiang Yunshang replied casually.
"Every word makes people feel scared." Xiaoyun frowned and said.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked Jiang Yunshang again: "The time the lady mentioned today that the concubine set the Guanyin statue was the time when rumors spread that the prince was going to visit the eldest lady of the Lin family?"
"Oh, have there ever been such rumors?" Jiang Yunshang raised his head slightly and asked calmly.
"Oh, there is such a rumor that the emperor discussed with Mr. Lin, but Mr. Lin rejected the emperor's proposal on the grounds that Miss Lin had been spoiled and pampered since she was a child and could not bear the position of regent.
"
Xiaoyun nodded, and then told the rumors she heard.
But he quickly added: "But I heard that this is one of the rumors. There is another theory that the regent actually loves someone else. Mr. Lin just knew the regent's thoughts, so he refused."
"Miss, why don't you say anything? Which of these two rumors do you think is true?"
Xiaoyun chatted alone for a long time, and when Jiang Yunshang ignored her, he took the initiative to ask her questions again.
"Maybe not."
Jiang Yunshang didn't give Xiaoyun any answer, but said this in a calm tone.
"Xiaoyun, please make arrangements. I'm going out in the next two days."
After returning to the house, Jiang Yunshang gave Xiaoyun instructions as soon as he got off the carriage.
But she was just giving instructions to Xiaoyun when someone suddenly rushed up from behind and grabbed her hand, dragging her far away before she could react.
"Third brother, why are you so angry?"
After Jiang Yunshang saw clearly that it was Lu Mingqian, she shook off his hand and scolded him.
"What did you say about me? Where have you been today? I heard that you are carrying an expensive and valuable Guanyin statue with you?
Spending so much effort to please a man, do you think this is what a married woman should do?"
When Lu Mingqian saw Jiang Yunshang throw away his hand, he didn't care and just yelled at her.
Jiang Yunshang did not answer immediately, but looked up and looked around.
There were servants around, but they were far away. Maybe I didn't hear what they said clearly, but I could inevitably see that they were tugging at each other.
"The Guanyin statue is my dowry. The shop now in my name is a dowry given to me by my Jiang family. It is all up to me how I want to control it. The Jiang family has no right to interfere, and the Lu family has no right to interfere.
As for everything else, I have told Young Master Lu San many times that if you don’t have the ability to protect anyone, please see your own position clearly."
After a long time, Jiang Yunshang said this to him coldly.
After saying that, he turned around and took Xiaoyun back to the house.
It was night, on the streets of Anting, a man in black, with a black gauze covering his face, passed by the watchmen on the street and headed towards the Regent's Palace.
"Did something get in just now?"
"No way. This is the Regent's Palace. There are so many guards. How can anything get through?"
A group of guards were patrolling on the wall of the palace, but a guard walking behind had a keen eye and discovered that someone had broken into the palace, but the other party was too fast and he could not see clearly.
And the people next to him didn't take his suggestion too seriously, and even thought he was dazzled.
But at this time, Jiang Yunshang had already sneaked into the garden.
She needed the general's seal, and after the Lu family was arrested, the general's seal was also confiscated, and now it is in the Regent's Palace.
Whether in her previous life or in this life, she had been to the Regent's Mansion several times.
But the difference is that the two generations came here with different mentality.
In her previous life, she came here with the mentality of letting Feng Yi help her with things, and her attitude towards Feng Yi was more of fear.
When he arrived at the palace, he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the palace.
"Where is it?"
Jiang Yunshang has come to this study twice. He noticed that the general's seal was placed on this bookshelf before, but now he came here and couldn't find it for a long time.
"What are you looking for? Miss Lu, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm familiar with this place, so it's easier to find it."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Yunshang stiffened, knowing that he had been exposed.
However, she did not turn around immediately, but stood there quietly, planning how to answer Feng Yi.
"Hehe, um..., the girl accidentally lost an earring when she came over during the day today.
Thinking that the concubine is right, the prince is unmarried. If these women's belongings are left here, I'm afraid they will be brought to you..."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yunshang came up with something to say, but before she could finish speaking, Feng Yi suddenly bullied her and pushed her directly against the bookshelf.
"Do you think this king is a person who cares about this?" Feng Yi approached her and asked.
Jiang Yunshang also knew that what she said was inappropriate, but in the current situation she could only say this.
But after hearing Feng Yi's words, she also explained obediently: "Well..., actually, it's normal for the prince not to care. After all, as the prince, who dares to mind whether there are other women around you?"
"So, do you mind?"
Feng Yi actually came closer and asked her this question.
"This folk girl dare not speak, and it is not her turn to speak." Jiang Yunshang avoided his eyes and replied with a fearful look.
"What exactly do you want to find in my palace?"
Feng Yi once again brought the topic to her sneaking into the palace and asked her the purpose of sneaking in.
"To be honest, the daughter of the common people wants to borrow the general's seal from the prince."
She had already been caught, and this purpose was not harmful to Feng Yi, so she made it clear.
"Borrow the general's seal for use?"
Hearing Jiang Yunshang's words, Feng Yi's eyes immediately became sharp.
Apparently he was suspicious of her borrowing the general's seal and thought she had some other purpose.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yunshang took out an agreement he had brought with him and spread it on the table.
Now that the situation has reached this point, there is really no need to hide it any longer.
