Jiang Fang's heartbeat accelerated instantly. It was not that he was afraid that Duan Jiu would estrange his relationship with him, but that without this relationship in the palace, it would be difficult for Jiang Fang to find Duan Jiu in the future.
Duan Jiu, who had been silent at this time, said: "I'm afraid that Duan Jiu has a humble status and is not worthy of Her Highness the Princess."
When Duan Jiu said these words, Jiang Fang's heart went cold. This guy really wanted to get rid of him, right? Unfortunately, he was still worried that he would be bullied when he came back.
Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Duan Jiu, not knowing what he was thinking. Then she glanced at Jiang Fang meaningfully and said, "What do you mean by this? Why don't you explain it more clearly? The Ai family will not embarrass you."
At this time, Jiang Fang rushed to say: "Er Chen and Duan Jiu have got married in Langtou Village. Although it was Huaigu's joke at the beginning, people with serious intentions will definitely not let this matter go.
I'm afraid that the Ninth Prince is already tired of his son, but the top priority is to think about how to explain this matter clearly, rather than estrange the relationship, as this is related to your reputation and mine."
Jiang Fang's words were very subtle, but the meaning was very clear. It was impossible to clear up the relationship in a hurry now. Until Jiang Fang didn't think of a good way to stop others' mouths, the relationship would still have to hang on him.
Duan Jiu thought that his words had hurt Jiang Fang's heart, so he said: "Duan Jiu is not in a hurry to separate from the princess, but Duan Jiu's current status, how can he be worthy of the princess? I am afraid that he will miss the princess's lifelong event.
"
As an experienced person, Queen Mother Jiang could tell at a glance that Duan Jiu was interested in Jiang Fang, but she was still duplicity.
Empress Dowager Jiang could see Duan Jiu's ability, so she was even more worried about letting Duan Jiu go to provide disaster relief. But now that he had such a relationship with Jiang Fang, he could still contain him.
Then Empress Dowager Jiang said: "A few days ago, Aijia received a dream from Master Guanyin that there would be natural disasters on the northern and southern borders of Yong State. This sounds like nonsense.
However, the Ai family was still very worried, so they wanted Ah Fang to go and find out. However, there were only two places, one in the south and one in the north, so Ah Fang recommended you to the Ai family.
Ah Fang appreciates your talents very much. If you are willing to share the worries of Ai Jia, there is no need to worry about your identity. You and Ah Fang are already known as husband and wife, and Ai Jia is not such a heartless person."
Queen Mother Jiang's hint is very obvious. If you can handle this matter well, then you will not forcefully deny your relationship with Jiang Fang.
Duan Jiu clasped his fists and said, "Duan Jiu is frightened by the princess's preference. It would be an honor for Duan Jiu to help the Queen Mother."
When Empress Dowager Jiang heard this, she said a few polite words, then took out two tokens and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Seeing these two tokens is like seeing the Ai family.
All forces on the border need to obey the orders, and I hope that the trip will go smoothly and that the worries of the Ai family can be relieved."
Jiang Fang and Duan Jiu took their tokens and left. Jiang Fang was walking in front. She didn't want to pay attention to the black tea now. It was indeed a stone that could not be heated.
After leaving the Chaoyang Palace, Duan Jiu followed Jiang Fang and blocked her behind a rockery: "Is the poison on my body getting worse again?"
When he mentioned this, Jiang Fang lost his temper, took Duan Jiu's arm to check his pulse, and then said angrily: "Don't worry, you won't die for the time being, I will think of a way."
After Jiang Fang was about to leave, Duan Jiu asked: "Why did you recommend me to the Queen Mother? Haven't you and I been a couple enough in Langtou Village?"
A trace of pride flashed in Duan Jiu's eyes, which were particularly bright in the darkness. Jiang Fang didn't want to beat around the bush and said: "You know that in this palace, people eat people without spitting out their bones.
Queen Mother Jiang is good to me, not because I am her daughter, but because I still have value. In this palace, I can only trust you.
But if you feel that it is not good for you to have this relationship with me, I will explain to the Queen Mother when this matter is completed. By then, her position in the palace will be secure, and she will not care about these small things."
Duan Jiu didn't expect Jiang Fang to say this to him so frankly. He didn't know how to say it for a moment. He was very happy at first, but Jiang Fang poured cold water on him.
"You don't have to misunderstand me. It's just that your life is in my hands. I believe that you are seeking medical treatment in vain and are preparing to die as a living doctor. My value to you is still very great, and you are temporarily reluctant to part with it."
Let me die."
After saying that, Jiang Fang was about to leave, but Duan Jiu suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "As long as you don't seek death, you won't die, I promise."
Jiang Fang looked at Duan Jiu's sincere eyes, and his heart beat faster for a moment. But immediately Jiang Fang felt very ashamed. He actually fell in love with a child half his age. This was terrible.
But how could children in ancient times be so good at it? No wonder those girls all like their younger brother. His younger brother is so exciting that it makes people suffocate.
Duan Jiu smiled slightly, let go of Jiang Fang, and asked: "But if you marry a hostage from an enemy country, you will probably be laughed at in the palace."
Jiang Fang said: "Not necessarily. Jiang Huaigu had originally pointed out my marriage to you, but since we have been married according to the decree, we should not deny it just because I am a princess now.
Maybe you don’t think that just because of this, I keep my promise and don’t break my promise. Such a reputation is very useful in front of the people, right?"
Duan Jiu nodded. This woman seemed to be a bit smarter than he thought, but she had never lived in this dark palace. He hoped that his status as consort would allow him to protect her by her side.
“How should border natural disasters be handled?”
Although the only person Jiang Fang can trust now is Duan Jiu, honesty can indeed maintain the relationship between them well, but there are still some things that cannot be said.
"Since the Queen Mother said it was a dream, there is a certain degree of credibility. All we need to do is evacuate the people and be prepared."
Duan Jiu did not continue to ask, nodded and said: "Go back early, I heard that your imperial sister will return to the palace in a few days."
Jiang Fang shrugged, feel free. Anyway, she has no hope at all for this royal family. As long as the well does not interfere with the river, she just wants to conquer Duan Jiu quickly and go home.
