As soon as he left the courtyard where Yang Su was, Li Jing saw Yang Yinjiang walking towards him alone, so he hurried forward to greet her.
When they got closer, Yang Yinjiang suddenly knelt down to Li Jing. The latter was shocked and hurriedly went to help:
"It can't be done. It's absolutely impossible."
Yang Yinjiang burst into tears: "Uncle Medicine Master, can you teach me."
According to seniority, Li Jing is a disciple of Yang Su, and is of the same generation as Xuangan. Although he is more than ten years younger than Xuangan, he usually calls Yang Xuangan his brother when he meets him.
"You get up first. If you have anything to say, talk later," Li Jing said.
Yang Yinjiang didn't show any pretense. She stood up and wiped her tears: "Uncle pharmacist, please step aside and talk."
Li Jing nodded and followed Yang Yin to the back garden of Yue Gong Mansion. After sending the servants away, the two of them sat down in front of a stone table.
Yang Yinjiang said: "Dugu Feng'er has contracted a strange disease. Now all parties are vying for the position of Yang Ming's concubine. Yinjiang is weak and needs to rely on her uncle."
The story of Dugu Nu has spread throughout Daxing City. Li Jing heard about it as soon as he returned to Beijing.
After a long silence, Li Jing nodded: "You should try your best."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Jing looked surprised.
Yang Ming hosted a banquet for Li Jing at home.
"The battlefield is changing, the clouds are turbulent, and the opportunity is fleeting. Although Brother Jing suffered too many casualties this time, you were able to hold off Bujia's reinforcements and buy Changsun Sheng time to join forces with Qimin to attack Bujia's main force.
It’s a great achievement.”
Just now, the mentor had made it very clear in the study that Yin Jiang's position as the Princess was definitely secure. If the mentor could say this, then there would be no changes in the matter, but why was Yin Jiang acting like this?
Li Jing frowned and said: "Your Highness and you have the deepest affection. If Dugu Nuzhen's concubine is not guaranteed, she will not be left behind. Why should Yin Jiang worry?"
Yang Yin was instantly choked up and kept wiping away tears and sobbing.
"Come here," Yang Ming waved to her.
Yang Yinjiang was stunned, quickly got up, sat in Yang Ming's arms, and leaned against him gently: "You know my feelings for you, there is no falsehood in them."
Yang Ming asked with a smile: "Brother Jing, what can't you tell me? Tell me happily."
"How could it be?" Li Jing said with a smile: "His Highness and I have known each other for several years, but Yin Jiang is the only one beside him. You are the only one with whom we can discuss important matters. Who else should I give up the position of Princess?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "What if you can't become my concubine in the future?"
It also shows from the side that Li Jing is a talented general. As the saying goes, one general can make thousands of bones wither. Yang Ming might not be so cruel.
"You forgot that I owed you a favor and I haven't paid it back yet. Why didn't you mention it?"
But what contribution can he make? With his status, he is not qualified to get involved in this matter.
Li Jing said calmly: "She said that Pei Ju's daughter was also involved and was her biggest competitor. She might not be able to win, so she wanted me to help."
However, Li Jing sized up the situation and used the casualties of his headquarters to gain Changsun Sheng an opportunity for a decisive battle, leading to a major defeat of the Turks. No wonder Changsun Sheng praised Li Jing highly in the memorial he submitted to the court.
"Needless to say," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I know your difficulties."
In fact, Li Jing's words made Yang Ming feel relieved. If Li Jing had hidden it from him because of Yang Yinjiang, then Yang Ming would never forgive her.
Yang Yinjiang's eyes turned red and she shook her head: "I'm afraid Yang Ming won't want to."
"The soldiers who died in battle should be deeply compensated," Yang Ming said.
"I understand, I understand," Li Jing nodded solemnly.
But Li Jing knew very well that if this man had not rarely gone out to lead the army, he would have been the Duke of the country long ago.
Yang Ming was discussing the border war situation with Li Jing just now. When he talked about the key points, he couldn't help but applaud Li Jing's ability to adapt to the situation.
"It was fine when I was in Jingzhou, but why is it like this when I come back," this was Yang Ming's first sentence tonight.
How could she not panic when old dog Pei Ju intervened?
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
At some point, he will focus more on admonishing his father to prevent him from making mistakes and falling into the abyss.
But Li Jing still said: "What does Yin Jiang want me to do?"
It is precisely because of Pei Ju's talent and strategizing that he has no equal in the Sui Dynasty. That's why he was given the title of Second Saint. He always lived in Neishi Province. No one dared to look down upon him, no matter Gao Jun, Yang Su, Su Wei or the clan.
he.
Yang Yinjiang nodded hurriedly: "Yinjiang doesn't dare to do it anymore."
Li Jing was also helpless. If he didn't help, he would be betraying the teacher's support. If he helped, he would violate Yang Ming's taboo.
After saying that, she tightly wrapped her arms behind Yang Ming: "I was wrong. I was too impatient at the time, so I committed this taboo."
Yang Ming asked again: "What else did she say?"
Yang Yinjiang stood up again and saluted: "The most important thing in His Highness's heart is the pharmacist uncle. No one has a more important position in his heart than you. If you can help Yin Jiang mediate and win back His Highness's heart, Yin Jiang will live up to his uncle in the future.
Kindness."
Yang Ming lifted her chin, looked directly at her, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't have any contact with Li Jing in the future, do you understand?"
Yang Ming rarely drinks, but tonight, he and Li Jing drank a lot.
Sigh. The long love between children is really a drag. Yang Ming smiled helplessly.
Li Jing nodded in agreement. Yang and Pei both came from top families, so it was almost impossible for the direct daughter of the clan to be a child for others.
Alas. You are wrong. I can help His Highness discuss other matters, but I can only do my own business and cannot interfere.
Li Jing understands this truth, why don’t you understand it?
During this period, Yang Yinjiang shed tears several times, and Yang Ming could not bear to see it in his eyes.
He still knew that Yang Ming found it really difficult to talk about this kind of thing.
But why did she do it deliberately even though she knew it was taboo?
She was too anxious
"Then what? What did she tell you?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.
He really didn't know about Pei Shuying, but he was really shocked when he suddenly heard about it.
After three drinks, Li Jing stopped talking.
Li Jing hesitated again and again, then gritted his teeth and said: "I have violated my humble position. I met Xuangan's daughter at my mentor's house in the afternoon."
But why are you so confused? Is Li Jing someone you can mess with?
He is my confidant, and you will be my concubine in the future. Once a certain tacit understanding is formed between you two, it will be a big taboo for me.
"In the past two years in Jingzhou, you have treated me like a close relative, and you have never hidden anything big or small from me. At that time, I felt that there needed to be a result between you and me so that our relationship could last forever. Today, if you are willing to hold me, I won't let you go.
You owe me nothing."
It was understandable that Li Jing did this. Yang Su was his teacher. Disciples of the Sui family respected their teachers first and foremost, so Li Jing was forced to do so.
Pei Ju was undoubtedly the most low-key person in the Sui Dynasty, so much so that many people outside the capital would ignore his existence.
Mainly because he is happy that Li Jing can grow up and be stronger than anything else. This is a sharp sword in his hand.
"Alas" Yang Yinjiang sighed: "I don't know, uncle, but Pei Ju's daughter has already taken the initiative to get close to her. This woman is straightforward and thin-skinned. She would never have done this without Pei Ju's instructions behind her. The same goes for Pei Ju's uncle."
You know, not only the humerus in the hearts of the two saints, but also His Royal Highness the Prince looks up to."
Jinyang Tower, inside the private room.
Prince Jin's Mansion, Qingshan House.
This affection, even if she is not Yang Su's granddaughter, Yang Ming will not let it down.
Yang Yinjiang felt guilty. After being called in, she did not dare to look directly at Yang Ming, lowering her head and playing with the corners of her clothes.
"It's just death!" Yang Yinjiang said without hesitation.
After a while, Li Jing stood up and said goodbye. Yang Ming sent him out of the house, and then asked Xu Jing to go to Yue Gong's house and invite Yang Yinjiang to come out and see him.
Because ordinary people cannot be so cruel on the battlefield. If they are not careful, they will definitely be punished.
As a result, Hedong's tax deficit this year will definitely not be able to escape, but Yang Ming is willing to acknowledge this deficit.
Li Jing answered honestly: "I hope I can intercede for her in front of His Highness. I know that I can't do this because of my humble position, but"
The box was extremely quiet, and Yang Ming didn't speak. The two of them just sat there, relatively silent.
Yang Yinjiang huddled in Yang Ming's arms and shook her head gently:
Therefore, between the two of them, the winner will naturally become the concubine, and the loser will have nothing to do with Yang Ming from now on.
Yang Yinjiang looked aggrieved. Today was the decisive moment. How could she not be anxious?
Grandfather has already made it clear that the Queen's health may not last long, and it will only take a month or two.
What's more, Yang Ming hasn't given herself an accurate word until now, which is what makes her the most sad.
It's Yang Yinjiang again, what on earth is this girl going to do? With her intelligence, she should know better than to have anything to do with Li Jing.
This year is already the second year of Renshou, and Yang Ming can live in peace for at most two years, because in two years, his father Yang Guang will succeed to the throne.
Of the 8,000 disciples from Hedong, only 2,300 came back, and seven out of ten died. With such a large number of casualties, someone must be punished.
Yang Ming sighed: "Things are still unclear now. Don't be anxious, let alone listen to other people's confusion. You used to be very sensible, why are you so confused now?"
Yang Yinjiang nodded sadly: "The problem lies with Pei Shuying. This woman is extremely popular, and His Highness cannot avoid it. Even I am willing to have a sincere relationship with her. But now that the matter has come to this, she and I have been entangled by the current situation.
There can only be one main concubine, and the one who loses will not be willing to be a side concubine. Even if she and I are willing to give in, the elders behind us will never agree."
Seeing that Yang Yinjiang remained silent for a long time, Yang Ming gently touched her back and said slowly:
Yang Ming closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "Don't get involved in this matter anymore, so as not to get involved."
This girl is really dedicated to herself. She left her family and career to follow him to Jingzhou, where she stayed for two years. She planned everything for him, as if she had already regarded herself as Yang Ming's little wife.
If even Pei Ju was involved, Yang Yinjiang would really not dare to say that he was sure of it.
Sons and daughters love each other for a long time, and in the past two years, Yang Ming can still enjoy it.
As soon as Yang Ming moved slightly, Yang Yinjiang would hug him tightly again, making it impossible for him to even change positions.
"Okay, it's getting late, go back early," Yang Ming patted her back and said softly.
Yang Yinjiang shook her head desperately and said pitifully: "Let me accompany you tonight, okay?"
