On the night after Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to Nanjing, Queen Zhu Yourong borrowed her uncle's Wuwang Villa to hold a banquet to welcome Xiang Xiaoqiang and Princess Liaoyang and celebrate their safe return. The main royal family members in Nanjing and the People's Guard who were not too busy that night
The army, army and navy generals, relatively leisurely cabinet ministers such as the Minister of Education and the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, and some celebrities from Nanjing also came. The pavilions and pavilions of the villa were full of well-dressed men and women, hundreds of them.
Of course, since Xiang Xiaoqiang was still "severely injured", he only made a symbolic appearance. He was helped into the hall by two military doctors, and he was given juice instead of wine, and he toasted everyone with thanks to everyone.
He cared so much about himself. Then he gritted his teeth and said a few heroic words, the core of which was "We will go back."
Although Xiang Xiaoqiang did not make any more impassioned speeches or give a speech, his weak but strong words had a very good effect. When he said "We will go back", there was a crowd in the hall.
There was thunderous applause and cheers, and the whole house was filled with joy.
Then, Xiang Xiaoqiang brought Xiuxiu to the table of the Ryukyu royal family, carrying juice. He toasted to Prince Shang, pinched his nose and said, "My father-in-law is here, my son-in-law is polite."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang came to propose a toast, everyone at the Shang family table felt frightened and stood up. Prince Shang responded with a smile and became very affectionate with Xiang Xiaoqiang. He held his hand and asked about his injury, showing great concern. He also held out his father's hand.
She told Xiuxiu in a tone of voice that she must take good care of Mr. Xiang.
Among the family, only the eldest Concubine Chen was happy, mainly because she saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang came back alive, so the princess of their Shang family would not receive a huge inheritance, and she was given the title of "princess" to that bastard in vain.
Not worth it.
When Prince Shang came, he gave Concubine Chen a good scolding, saying that you, a woman, have your eyes on money and cannot see the long term. Wouldn't it be better if Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't die? Then he would be our consort.
.Climb up to Xiang Xiaoqiang
What a consort, are you still worried that our family has no status in the Ming Dynasty? Xiang Xiaoqiang is so good at making money, and has such a good relationship with the rich man Wang Yanping and his family. As long as he brings us to invest in the future, you are still worried that our Shang family will be short of money to spend.
?
After such a scolding, Concubine Chen got better and was able to smile. She was older than Xiang Xiaoqiang in terms of "virtuous son-in-law". Although according to the rules, Concubine Chen was the principal concubine of Prince Shang,
That is Xiuxiu's aunt, and naturally Xiang Xiaoqiang's "mother-in-law". However, Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't pay much attention to Concubine Chen's self-esteem.
Xiang Xiaoqiang just smiled and nodded in agreement, and did not call her "mother-in-law" or call her "good son-in-law". Xiang Xiaoqiang comes from a monogamous society in later generations, and he is not used to having parents who have "
Secondly, he didn't like Concubine Chen very much. In his heart, Xiu Xiu's mother was Shang Xiaojun.
Next, Zhu Yourong announced in public that he would marry his chief secretary, Miss Wei Zijin, to Xiang Xiaoqiang's guard company deputy commander Wu Yanbin.
Her Majesty the Queen granted the marriage in court, which really exceeded everyone's expectations. For a while, the hall was filled with applause and laughter. The cold beauty Wei Zijin, who usually stood behind the Queen like a sculpture, now looked shy and familiar.
Taozi lowered his head. Wu Yanbin, who was next to Xiaoqiang, was as excited as if he had drunk half a catty of wine, and was almost shaking with joy.
…
Before the Queen conferred the marriage, everyone was still whispering and secretly guessing, as if something that made them extremely excited was spreading rapidly. The scene where Xiang Xiaoqiang met Her Majesty the Queen in the afternoon was now officially spreading at the banquet.
Originally it was only in the royal family
, the legend circulated in a small area at the highest level of the cabinet and the army has finally spread to the entire upper class of the Ming Dynasty. And in a society with developed media and information, if this kind of news is known to the upper class and spreads to all strata of society, then it is also
It's just a matter of a day or two.
When Zhu Yourong announced the marriage, many people were still speculating: Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen was going to announce in public that she would be married off? To Xiang Xiaoqiang?
But more people didn't dare to think about it. Because Her Majesty the Queen's temperament, she would never do such a thing as announcing her marriage in public. But when everyone heard that it was Wei Zijin marrying Wu Yanbin
, more people immediately understood the symbolic meaning.
The symbolic meaning of Her Majesty the Queen's secretary marrying Mr. Xiang's bodyguard is too obvious. Isn't this simply because the young lady wants to marry the young master, so she lets the maid seduce the book boy first!
Of course, if they hadn't seen the expressions of Wei Zijin and Wu Yanbin who were almost dying of happiness, everyone would have suspected that they were "in love" with each other.
And these ladies in the upper class have the strongest sixth sense for these things. They found that the people who looked happiest and the happiest at the banquet were not only Wei Zijin who had just been married, but also Xiang, whose husband had just been lost.
Ladies, it’s Her Majesty the Queen. The sweetness and satisfaction on Her Majesty’s face is simply better than theirs.
And... Princess Leping, who has always been very open-minded in such occasions, became so ladylike tonight, sitting in her seat politely, only occasionally whispering to several Mrs. Xiang, with the same expression on their faces
His expression, smile, sweetness, blush, and occasionally he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaoqiang...
Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly resigned early due to physical reasons. However, this left all the guests in the hall with endless speculations and daydreams...
…
That night, as soon as Xiang Xiaoqiang and his family got home by car, Hu Jiong handed over a document.
Now that Xiuxiu has served as the Queen's adjutant, Xiang Xiaoqiang can no longer openly treat her as his adjutant. However, there is only Qiu Qiu as his adjutant, which is not enough. And Qiu Qiu's work ability is not at the same level as Xiu Xiu's.
.Xiang Xiaoqiang made a decision that he had wanted to do for a long time: promote Hu Jiong to adjutant.
Hu Jiong is smart, calm, and unassuming. He has been with me for a long time and is loyal. His working ability is also quite strong. This expedition with him to northern Xinjiang was also tempered. Xiang Xiaoqiang himself was trapped in Dihua.
, and Hu Jiong followed another
The outer half of the division moved all the way from Altay, and finally entered Gansu with the remnants and joined the reinforcements of the two motorized infantry divisions. Now, although Xiang Xiaoqiang has just returned and has not been officially appointed, Hu Jiong has already begun to assume the role of adjutant.
Mission accomplished.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took the document and saw that it was an interrogation transcript. He was very tired and did not read it carefully, so he handed it to Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu finally read it carefully and immediately picked up the bell on the bedside table and shook it.
He ordered the maid:
"Go and invite Princess Liaoyang."
Fourteenth Princess is now Xiang Xiaoqiang's wife, but she still has her own mansion, and the whole thing is still at the Princess's Mansion. Fourteenth Princess plans to go back to live in the Princess's Mansion tonight, and will start moving here tomorrow.
Moreover, she and Xiang Xiaoqiang had just returned to Nanjing, and she did not intend to compete with those two little ladies for a husband tonight. Although she had not touched Xiang Xiaoqiang in so many days.
The maid quickly ran to the garage and picked up Shigeru Gege, who was about to leave in the car.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was also very puzzled and didn't know what Xiu Xiu was doing.
Xiuxiu went up to her, handed the document to her respectfully, and said:
"Sister Liaoyang, a Japanese spy surrendered to us. He revealed several important spies."
