Chapter 21 The one she should be optimistic about is Qiao Zhi

Mid-Autumn Festival, Palace Banquet.

Shan Zhi gave Jiang Sheng a bun with a bun, tied with silver silk inverted lotus hairpins. Jiang Sheng put on a floral embroidered silk-colored crepe skirt with flowers scattered over it, and wore a silk-cut snow jacket. Together with Mrs. Hou and

Jiang Xian went to the palace in a soft sedan.

The soft sedan could only go as far as the second door. When they arrived at the second door of the palace, the three of them got down and walked.

There was a palace maid leading the way for them, and Mrs. Hou told Jiang Xian in a low voice: "Follow me and don't look around. Walk slower and don't step on your clothes. Also, remember to be careful about your manners during the banquet and don't eat too much."

"Um."

Mrs. Hou: "..."

This damn girl, what will happen if she says a few more words?! Why should she be so cold?!

Jiang Sheng leaned closer to Jiang Xian and quietly took a look at the spot on Jiang Xian's dress where she had sprinkled the powder.

In the original book, Jiang Xian was not injured by the tiger at all, but with the addition of her wearing a book, will things change?

Jiang Sheng recalled all the ancient novels he had read. It seemed that at the palace banquet, the men and women sat on two sides, separated by several screens, and the ladies and ladies did not sit together. In the original book, the tiger seemed to be aiming at the nobles.

Coming from the female direction.

Jiang Xian seemed to feel Jiang Sheng's gaze and turned his head and asked, "What?"

Jiang Sheng didn't stop: "It's okay."

After entering the main hall, before Mrs. Hou and Jiang Xian and Jiang Sheng separated, she warned Jiang Sheng: "Be sure to keep an eye on your sister. If anything happens, come find me."

Jiang Sheng responded: "Don't worry."

But she secretly thought that the one she should be optimistic about was not Jiang Xian, but her cousin Qiao Zhi.

Oh yes, where is Qiao Zhi?

Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xian first found a place to sit down, looked left and right, and finally saw Qiao Zhi on the right.

She turned her head and whispered to Jiang Xian: "Sister, I'm going to find cousin Qiao Zhi. I'll be back later."

Jiang Sheng was about to stand up when her wrist suddenly felt cold. She turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xian who was holding her back.

Jiang Xian said casually: "Didn't you see someone else next to Qiao Zhi? Didn't Mrs. Hou want you to look at me? What were you doing in the past?"

Of course Jiang Sheng has to go there.

In the original book, Qiao Zhi couldn't stand Jiang Xian. After a while, the queen came and the ladies of the aristocratic family competed in talent. Qiao Zhi was the first to have the original owner compete with Jiang Xian in playing the piano.

Among the music, chess, calligraphy and painting, the original owner was best at guzheng, not to mention that she was holding back her energy in her heart, so she immediately agreed, and the song was flowing smoothly, and everyone liked it.

Qiao Zhi and the original owner were very proud and prepared to watch Jiang Xian's joke. Unexpectedly, they thought that Jiang Xian, who was born as a peasant girl, not only knew how to play the piano, but also played the piano well, with slender fingers and fluent plucking.

If the music played by the original owner is as beautiful as the ringing of bells, then Jiang Xian's can be called the sound of nature. It is simple and elegant but also has the feeling of mountains and flowing water, like the sound of mountain streams and springs, like the tranquil sea, and the lingering sound is still there after the song ends.

wave.

Jiang Sheng glanced in Qiao Zhi's direction again.

She wants to catch Qiao Zhi! She doesn’t want to be executed in public!

So Jiang Sheng made an excuse: "In previous years, cousin Qiao Shu would accompany cousin Qiao Zhi at palace banquets. Now that cousin Qiao Shu is getting married, I think cousin Qiao Zhi will miss her sister alone. I will go over and accompany her."

Jiang Xian raised his eyes: "She just married Qiao Shu. Not to mention the handkerchief, she also has so many other cousins. Is she missing one like you?"

Jiang Sheng blinked: "But cousin Qiao Zhi and I have a relatively good relationship."

It's not that I have a good relationship with her, but that I have a good relationship with the original owner.

Among the original owners, Qiao Zhi is a loyal supporter of the original owners.

Jiang Xian said quietly: "Then you go."

"oh."

As Jiang Sheng walked away, he looked back and frowned.

She felt that the boss sister was not very happy.

Is it because you don't like Qiao Zhi?

Jiang Sheng didn't think deeply about it, and walked towards Qiao Zhi with small steps.

Qiao Zhi glanced at her coming and hurriedly waved: "Shengsheng!"

Jiang Sheng walked over and sat down.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Zhi frowned, "Did Jiang Xian bully you?!"

"I knew she had no good intentions!"

Qiao Zhifu whispered next to Jiang Sheng, "Just wait and see how I teach her a lesson later!"

Jiang Sheng: "...??"

Brother dei, don't overthink it, I was sent from heaven to save your face.

She said: "Cousin Qiao Shu is married and can't sit with you this year. I see you as pitiful and kind-hearted enough to come and accompany you, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful at all."

Qiao Zhi's eyes widened: "Why don't I appreciate it?!"

She whispered: "I have thought about it. Since every year at the palace banquet, the Queen and the Queen ask ladies from various aristocratic families to play piano and write poems, I guess this year will be the same, and there will be a lucky draw - or some valuable jewelry, or some wish for us.

When I fell down, I told the queen to let you compete with Jiang Xian!"

"By then you will have won the lottery, but Jiang Xian will have lost completely. If you are in a position of superiority and superiority, how can anyone question whether you are the daughter of the Marquis?"

"Although you are younger than me, you are of late age. I haven't heard any rumors, but I also know that the ladies are concerned about your adopted daughter's identity, so they have not come to propose marriage."

Qiao Zhi looked at Jiang Sheng with a serious face.

Jiang Sheng secretly thought that although Qiao Zhi was not a very good person, he did serve his cousin, the original owner, wholeheartedly.

She gave Qiao Zhi an angry look: "I said you didn't appreciate it and you insisted that you weren't. I came to accompany you, but instead you planned for my sister."

Qiao Zhi was dumbfounded: "I..."

She was about to refute, but Jiang Sheng said: "If you still care about our sisterly relationship, don't mention this again."

"I know you're doing it for me—"

"But I'm doing well in the house. Now the whole house is in harmony and there's nothing messy." Jiang Sheng analyzed, "Is it because of other ladies' petty calculations or because they are dissatisfied with me in their hearts that I am going to target my sister?

?Make your home a mess?"

Qiao Zhi felt that this was not right and wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how to refute it.

She was thinking about it, but before she could figure it out, a high-pitched voice came from the door of the palace: "His Royal Highness King Yan has arrived."

Qiao Zhi fell silent.

Jiang Sheng felt that the title was somewhat familiar, so she looked at it and blinked twice. She was really saying that King Yan was really good-looking, but it was a pity that he was in a wheelchair, but she suddenly remembered——

Isn’t this the male protagonist?

The original book is written by Jiang Xian, Xiao Huaijing, the king of Yan Dynasty, later rebelled against the emperor, leaving the court in a mess, and happily took the heroine to travel around the mountains and rivers incognito.

If Jiang Sheng remembers correctly, it seems that the emperor's throne was obtained improperly.

The late emperor originally wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Huaijing's father, but he could not resist the current emperor's use of dark methods.

When an emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally not keep a brother who threatens him. Later, Xiao Huaijing's father was killed, and his mother followed his father. Xiao Huaijing lost his parents since he was a child.

Jiang Sheng looked towards Jiang Xian and saw that Jiang Xian's expression was calm, without any surprise or other emotions.

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows.

In the book, the heroine Jiang Xian and the hero Xiao Huaijing had known each other before. When Xiao Huaijing was hunted down to a remote village, it was Jiang Xian who took him in.

Later, before Xiao Huaijing left, he left a jade pendant for Jiang Xian, saying that if she had any difficulties, she could take the jade pendant to the capital to find him.

However, the heroine is too powerful, and this jade pendant was not used until the end of the book.
