Watching the heat in the tea cup on the opposite side of the table gradually disappear, Shi Jiang sat there without moving.
After a long time, he smiled softly.
It seems that she underestimated the other party's appetite.
I'm afraid it's not that I'm not interested in her proposal, but that I'm too interested.
However, because of her identity, she resorted to retreating in order to advance.
She came to him before and took it for granted.
Until she doesn't have enough chips, Yun Jin will probably just wait and see.
However, one thing she was sure of was that at least he would not make trouble for her like others.
The adult world is just an exchange of interests!
Yun Jin can do this, she should be satisfied.
As soon as Shi Jiang returned to Fengyi Hall, he heard the palace maid coming to report that his uncle had been waiting all morning and had not been summoned by her, so he went back angrily.
Upon hearing the news, Shi Jiang just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, she had to clean up her palace thoroughly to avoid being taken advantage of.
It has to be said that the original owner was very kind to her servants, and she was frugal, so the people serving her in the inner hall of Fengyi Hall were the old people who took care of her in the cold palace.
Others were not too wary of her as a queen. After all, she was just a queen with no background and no children.
In addition, there are only a few people in Fengyi Hall, so even if someone wants to, they won't be able to get in.
They just wanted her, the queen, to step aside on her own, or die early so that others could take her place.
After all, she still irritated many people.
Shi Jiang remembered every one of these people in his heart.
After combing through the people in Fengyi Hall, Shi Jiang tapped her fingers lightly on the table, closed her eyes and thought about what she should do next.
"Mother, my uncle is here again."
Xi Le did not go out at any time in the morning, but now that the uncle came, she came in to report.
Shi Jiang was tapping his hand on the table for a moment, feeling a little irritated.
This group of ungrateful people, being the queen themselves does not bring glory to their parents' family at all.
Now he not only relies on his sister who is the queen to become the uncle of the state, but he also plots against this biological sister, who is really her good brother.
Thinking of this, and because the negotiation with Yun Jin didn't go well that morning, Shi Jiang's face suddenly dropped.
"Let him in."
Shi Yanxing was very angry because he had been waiting for a long time in the morning!
Now when the Empress summoned her, she entered the Fengyi Palace with a drooped face, not giving Shi Jiang a good look at all.
Two black faces faced each other. When Shi Yanxing saw Shi Jiang, he did not salute and directly asked aggressively.
"Yesterday I asked your sister-in-law to enter the palace, but you kicked her out of the palace without even seeing her?"
After hearing this, Shi Jiang's already dark face became even darker.
"Shi Yanxing, don't you understand the way of a monarch and his ministers? Are you gesticulating and showing off your power in front of me because you want to rebel?"
Shi Yanxing only heard Shi Jiang slam the table hard and then reprimand him angrily.
The originally droopy face suddenly showed a look of confusion and bewilderment.
"You...what did you say?"
Shi Jiang sneered coldly and looked up and down at this cheap brother.
"What did I say? Are you deaf and can't hear clearly?"
When Shi Yanxing was retorted, he felt his heart pounding at first, and then he became furious.
"I am your eldest brother, and you actually talk to me like this? Do you still have our Shi family in your eyes? If my father were here, I don't know how disappointed he would be in you."
Every time I see this sister, as long as her father is mentioned, she will always cry silently, and then compromise on his requests.
However, he didn't expect that the core in this body would have been replaced by someone else.
"What are you and me, brother and sister? I am the emperor's personally appointed queen. I am the king and you are the minister. If you don't kneel before you, is this the way to be a minister? What's more, roaring and threatening you is not rebellion.
What’s that again? Come here, I’ll drag you out and hit twenty boards again.”
Shi Jiang stood up directly and gave instructions to the palace people.
The palace attendants looked at each other in confusion at first, and then saw the Queen glaring at her angrily, and hurriedly responded.
Several people came forward, knocked down Mr. Guojiu, dragged him out, pinned him on a stool and beat him.
When Shi Yanxing heard Shi Jiang say this at first, he thought she was joking.
When he was dragged away, he started to struggle.
However, even his hat broke free and fell to the ground, and he didn't break free from the palace keeper's hand.
At the beginning, Shi Yanxing was so angry that he scolded Shi Jiang for not being filial and disrespecting his elder brother.
But when the board went down, all he could think of was scolding Shi Jiang.
Shi Yanxing went from angry to frightened. The board hit his back buttocks so much that he felt numb. He only felt that he had no feeling in his two legs.
Ever since he was a child, even his father had never beaten him like this.
Only at this moment did Shi Yanxing truly realize that the person he was confronting just now was the queen of this dynasty, not his sister. Apart from the emperor, she was the most noble.
If Shi Jiang talks about the relationship between brother and sister, then they are brothers and sisters. If Shi Jiang does not want to talk about the relationship between brother and sister, then they are monarch and minister.
After twenty big boards were played, Shi Yanxing was dragged to Fengyi Hall like a dead dog and lay down underneath, shaking all over.
Half of it hurts and half of it scares me.
After Shi Jiang saw Shi Yanxing being dragged in, he held Xi Le's hand and slowly walked down from the phoenix throne above.
Walking up to Shi Yanxing, he stretched out his foot and put it on his shoulder, exerting slight pressure.
Then he leaned down and said to him: "I treat you as family, but you treat me as a fool. You keep talking about your father in my ears every day, why don't you just go back and live in a house to serve me as you wish?"
It would be nice for him to die
?Shi Yanxing, you have to know that without my sister who is the queen, the Shi family will be nothing. Since you value the sisters in the clan so much, then I will give these clan girls a good place to go.
There is no need to go to the palace to thank you."
After saying that, he kicked Shi Yanxing away with all his strength, straightened up, and walked out of Fengyi Hall Shi Shiran.
After Shi Jiang went out, someone from the palace came in, dragged Shi Yanxing out of the palace like a dead dog, and threw him into the carriage he was riding in.
Shi Yanxing was so angry and anxious, coupled with the injuries behind him, that he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
When he woke up again, he heard his wife Zhao crying beside the bed.
Shi Yanxing was stunned for a long time before reacting.
"Where's Qian'er?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao stopped crying and raised her red eyes to look at Shi Yanxing.
"The Queen just granted the title of County Lord Qian'er yesterday."
Hearing what Zhao said, Shi Yanxing was half relieved.
Before in the palace, he thought that Shi Jiang would really do something to the Shi family!
However, before he could completely let go, he heard Zhao continue to speak quietly.
"The envoy from the State of Liang came to propose marriage, and the Empress appointed Qian'er to go and marry her."
