"You're always good at persuading people," Jiang Wang looked at the ripples in the pond and asked, "Is the Commandant of the Northern Yamen that good?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chung Geng Sheng waved his hand and said in an exaggerated tone, "This is the most powerful position you can reach at this stage. It's also the gateway to the real power center of Qi. If you can become the Commandant of the Northern Yamen today, you can directly become a general when the Immortal Descends. We'll send you to the Qiu Offense Army, and the next step will be the Military Hall! You can even control one of the three departments. Then the next step will be the Political Affairs Hall! How dare you ask me if the Commandant of the Northern Yamen is that good? "
"Think about it, Jiang Wang! This is one of the six most powerful countries in the world, the overlord of the Eastern Region. You can reach the top in the shortest time possible and share the supreme power with those top figures … This step will start from the Commandant of the Northern Yamen! How dare you ask if it's important? Ask if it's good? "
Looking at Chung Geng Sheng, who was spitting, Jiang Wang fell silent for a long time.
Then he said, "Oh?"
Chung Geng Sheng glared at him. "You're honking like a goose today? You can't stop honking! "
Jiang Wang smiled. "It seems that it's really important."
Zhong Xuan Sheng's face was filled with disappointment. "It's good that you know!"
"Yes, I know," Jiang Wang waved his hand. "I'll go back to cultivate first. Remember to help me investigate Gongsun Yu."
"Think carefully and control yourself!" Chung Geng Sheng shouted behind him. "Don't improve your cultivation too quickly. If the Immortal Descends accidentally, you won't be able to become the Commandant of the Northern Yamen!"
Jiang Wang's figure had already disappeared. It was unknown whether he had heard it or not.
…
…
As a famous scenic spot in Linzi, there were many villas of high officials and nobles at the foot of Mount Xia.
Of course, Chung Geng Sheng was not the only one who knew how to choose a place.
The Palace Master of the Heart Nurturing Palace, Jiang Wuxie, also had a residence here. She usually only stayed at the beginning of the Twilight Festival.
Everyone knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince loved beautiful women, delicious food, and fine wine … He enjoyed all of them and would never suffer.
Despite her noble status, she rarely stayed in the Heart Nurturing Palace. This was different from the other Palace Masters.
To Jiang Wuxie, even though he was the master of the Heart Nourishing Palace, he could make all the decisions in the palace. However, the Heart Nurturing Palace was still within the boundaries of the Qi Palace and there were some rules that had to be followed.
That was the problem.
Comparatively speaking, the Warm Jade Water Pavilion was where he usually stayed.
Almost everyone in Linzi knew about this.
When Jiang Wang went out to sea to rescue people, he went directly to the Warm Jade Water Pavilion to discuss terms with him. From this, one could see one spot.
However, Jiang Wuqi's mourning period had not been long, as the elder brother, it was clearly inappropriate for him to be soaking in the Warm Jade Water Pavilion.
Therefore, during this period of time, he stayed in this courtyard at the foot of Sunset Mountain.
There was no need to say more about the exquisite layout and elegance of the style.
Among all the courtyards at the foot of Sunset Mountain, this residence was one of the best.
At this moment, Jiang Wuxie was lying on a soft couch. Her eyes were slightly closed and she seemed to be enjoying herself. Her long hair was held up diagonally with a hairpin and she was only wearing a loose silk robe. Two beautiful maids knelt on both sides of the couch, one massaging her shoulders and the other massaging her legs.
Her jade-like hands wandered around the mountain, warm and fragrant.
In a trance, she did not know what day it was.
The soft couch was placed on a very stylish balcony. Just by leaning sideways, one could see the beautiful scenery of Sunset Mountain.
Of course, there were curtains all around. When they were down, it was a private space. When they were up, one could see the vast sky and clouds.
This balcony was unusually spacious. There were pots of flowers and caged birds. There was also a large water tank with water lilies. The blooming period had long passed, but it was still blooming brilliantly.
Not far from the soft couch, there was a zither.
It supported the ground like a beauty. The wood was glossy and had a jade luster.
After the zither, there was another beauty.
Her body was slender and her temperament was otherworldly. Her eyebrows were ordinary and she was playing the zither.
The beauty was beautiful and the music was wonderful. The mountain breeze blew, and it was very pleasant.
Only one person in black was half-kneeling on the ground. He was the only color in this picture that was not very harmonious.
His left hand was on his knee, and his right hand was stretched out and pressed against the ground. It was a sign of submission. The bulging veins on the back of his hand were also a sign of strength.
"You mean …" After enjoying for a long time, Jiang Wuxie said slowly, "There is nothing wrong with Feng Gu's body?"
The beautiful sound of the zither stopped.
"I've investigated it myself. There is indeed nothing wrong with it." The man in black half-kneeling on the ground said, "The people in Beiya are not useless."
"How can there be … no problem at all?" Under the pressure of the beautiful maids, Jiang Wuxie's voice was drifting. "It shouldn't be …"
"It shouldn't be," the man in black said, "but it's too late to tamper with it now."
"Don't tamper with it." Jiang Wuxie frowned slightly. "Why should we tamper with it? It's stupid to add fuel to the fire at this time. We just need the truth … the truth, do you understand? "
"Yes," the man in black said.
"Qi Song, I hope you really do," Jiang Wuxie said.
The man in black named Qi Song lowered his head even more. "This humble one truly understands."
"Then …" Jiang Wuxie asked, "Who sent you to Beiya in person?"
"I thought … I wouldn't be discovered."
"You thought?" Jiang Wuxie opened his eyes. There was undisguised dissatisfaction in his feminine eyes. "Do you think Beiya is your backyard? Do you think Jiang Qingyang is an ordinary man with no combat ability? Do you think you're mocking them? Don't you know that you're being mocked by them?"
"Do you know?" Jiang Wuxie asked, "Zheng Shi has already found out about you. Was it me who stopped him?"
"I can only tell him that I was the one who instructed him to do this. I intend to supervise this case … I'm just a bystander, but now I have no choice but to put out the fire. Qi Song, what do you think? "
"I know I'm wrong," Qi Song said.
Jiang Wuxie did not even look at him. He turned over and got to his feet. The thin silk robe vaguely showed the perfect lines of his muscles.
However, his face on the robe was delicate and feminine.
The two beautiful maids who were massaging his shoulders and legs quietly retreated. One of them stood behind him, while the other stood on his right.
The Palace Master of Mental Cultivation Palace sat on one side of the soft couch, facing the scenery of Mount Xia.
Qi Song half-knelt on the left behind him.
"Everyone makes mistakes, so I'll forgive you this once," Jiang Wuxie said. "Since you're already involved, you'll be responsible for finding the truth. Keep an eye on those people in Beiya. Speaking of which, it's only right that I care about Eleventh Brother. "
"Yes," Qi Song replied respectfully.
"But I don't need the truth. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Qi Song thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Your Highness, who should I hand the truth to after finding it?"
It seemed that he really understood.
He was not afraid of being stupid, but he was afraid of being smart.
Jiang Wuxie looked at the mountains in the distance and said calmly, "Zheng Shangming is a loyal dog. Lin Youxie's future is limited. Work hard to promote Jiang Qingyang. After all, he's the king's favorite. Only he can make a big deal out of this. "
"Understood." Qi Song bowed solemnly, then stood up and left.
It was already the winter moon, and the red maples had withered.
At this moment, Mount Xia was bare, and there was nothing to look at.
However, Jiang Wuxie looked at it very seriously.
There was not much expression on her delicate face.
"Why did the zither stop?" he suddenly asked.
The beauty playing the zither said, "If Your Highness didn't listen attentively, the zither wouldn't have played."
"Was I not attentive enough?"
"Your Highness was busy suppressing your killing intent. How could you be in the mood to listen to the zither? "
Jiang Wuxie smiled. "Se Se, being too smart will bring you big trouble."
The woman named Wu Se used her little finger to lightly stroke the strings of the zither.
Dong dong dong dong dong.
She said softly, "Isn't Your Highness a big trouble for me?"
"You're right!" Jiang Wuxie smiled, but his eyes were still fixed on Mount Xia.
People looked at the beautiful scenery, but he looked at the fragmented scenery.
"It's a pity that the world's beautiful scenery is so easy to wither …"
He sighed, then suddenly said, "I want to play with my spear!"
Thus, he got off the soft couch and waved his hand.
A bright red spear fell into his palm.
Just like that, he held the bright red spear, directly stepping into the air, walking towards Sunset Mountain.
The black and gold silk nightgown reflected the light.
At this moment, there was no shadow on the mountain, and the setting sun shone.
The man and the spear were both beautiful.
…
…
There were thousands of kinds of people in the world.
There were princes like Jiang Wuxie, who always went out of the palace. There were also princes like Jiang Wuhua, who almost imprisoned himself in Changle Palace and never went out.
Except for some necessary ceremonies, he didn't go out of the palace unless he had to.
Every day, he would play with flowers and grass, steaming and suffering, and he enjoyed himself.
He once said, "This is Changle Palace."
While Jiang Wuxie was playing with his spear on Mount Xia, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were eating in Changle Palace.
There were only two palace maids waiting on them. One was taking care of the Crown Prince and the other was taking care of the Crown Princess. They moved quietly and didn't make a sound.
Although the dining hall was spacious, the two of them chatted as they ate, so it didn't seem lonely.
There weren't many dishes on the table. There were three meat dishes, two vegetables, and one soup. They were all made by the Crown Prince himself, and the aroma filled the air.
A eunuch came in with hurried footsteps. It was obvious that he had something important to report.
However, when he reached the door of the dining hall, he stopped and didn't say anything.
Everyone in Changle Palace knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess couldn't be disturbed when they were eating.
In the Crown Prince's rules, there weren't many things that were more important than eating.
At least, what he had to report now wasn't as important as the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess eating.
"Is the deer meat not tender enough today?" the Crown Prince said softly, "We didn't have a July old deer, so we chose a September old one. This kind of banana-tailed deer isn't easy to raise. The meat is best between July and August. You're in a hurry to eat it, so there's no other way … "
Song Ning 'er swallowed the deer meat in her mouth and commented, "It's not tender, but it's chewy and has a unique flavor. Of course, the most important thing is that Your Highness the Crown Prince's culinary skills have reached perfection. Everything you make is delicious! "
This plate of pan-fried banana-tailed deer was indeed full of color, aroma, and taste.
When it was first served, it still looked like a whole deer. However, it had already been sliced into thin slices and pieced together after being pan-fried.
One could pick up a piece with a light poke with a pair of chopsticks. The meat was so thin that it was almost translucent. It had the texture of a banana leaf and was pan-fried until it was golden brown. However, it didn't look greasy.
When the Changle Palace's secret condiments were sprinkled on the meat, the aroma lingered in the air.
At this time, there were only a few slices left on the large plate. It was obvious that the Crown Princess really liked this dish.
Jiang Wuhua cupped his hands at the table and bowed. He said sincerely, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for coming!"
Song Ning 'er waved her hand, indicating that she didn't have time to be polite with him.
She used her chopsticks to pick up the few remaining slices of venison in front of her. Then, she ate it in a few mouthfuls with the sparkling and translucent white rice.
Then, she put down the ivory chopsticks and picked up the teacup beside her. She gulped down the fragrant tea and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. "I'm full!"
"Do you want some soup?" Jiang Wuhua asked. "The main ingredient is the antler of this banana-tailed deer and the mushrooms sent from Zhuhe County. It's very delicious."
Song Ning 'er shook her hand. "I really can't drink anymore. My stomach is so round …"
She glanced at Jiang Wuhua slyly and shyly. "You can touch it if you don't believe me."
"That's not very appropriate, is it?" Jiang Wuhua said as his hand reached out.
After a long while.
Smack!
Song Ning 'er slapped his hand and said angrily, "Are you done?"
"Oh …" Jiang Wuhua withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "It looks like you're really full."
"Sigh." Song Ning 'er let out a long sigh. "The desire for good food is a big hindrance to my cultivation!"
Jiang Wuhua was full of smiles. "Isn't the happiness of husband and wife in the same bed?"
"Go away!" Song Ning 'er rolled her eyes at him. "Who's sleeping with you?"
Jiang Wuhua said, "Who else can I sleep with when I'm alive and when I'm dead?"
"You sure know how to say these things!" Song Ning 'er stood up and said, "I won't disturb you from your work. I'm going to rest."
Jiang Wuhua said gently, "I've already asked someone to prepare the dessert in Qingfeng Garden. It was made this morning. Why don't you try it? "
"Do you really think I'm not fat enough?" Song Ning 'er rebuked. In the end, she still turned and walked towards Qingfeng Garden.
Compared to her demure appearance in front of others, she was much more lively when they were alone.
Jiang Wuhua only smiled as he watched her leave. He did not say anything else.
After the Crown Princess left with the palace maids, the eunuch standing outside the door walked in.
He bowed and said, "Your Highness, according to the latest news, the people from the Yangxin Palace are also involved in Feng Gu's case."
Jiang Wuhua pushed his bowl away and scooped a bowl of deer antler soup for himself. He took a small sip and said, "That's expected. What about the Huaying Palace? "
"The Third Prince hasn't made any moves. Perhaps we haven't been able to find out," the eunuch said.
Jiang Wuhua shook his head and said, "No movement means no movement. With Wuyou's personality, if he really did make a move on this matter, it wouldn't be small. "
He drank a few mouthfuls of soup and suddenly asked, "I heard that someone went to warn Jiang Qingyang. Is that true?"
"There is such a thing," the eunuch replied.
"Impudent." Jiang Wuhua put the spoon back into the bowl. "In the great Da Qi, who dares to be so arrogant?"
The eunuch said, "The coachman's background is very clean. Three generations of his ancestors have been coachmen for the northern yamen. Now he has disappeared … If he's alive, we can't find him. If he's dead, we can't find his corpse. We can't find any clues. "
"Forget it. Let's leave this matter to the northern yamen." Jiang Wuhua waved his hand. "Pass down my order. Have the Imperial City Guards strengthen the protection of the investigators, especially the residence of Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie. Increase the patrols. This kind of thing can't happen again. There can't be any accidents happening to the three people in this case. Do you understand? "
"Understood."
The eunuch accepted the order and left in a hurry.
Jiang Wuhua also lost interest in drinking soup. He stood up and walked out. He said casually, "Today's soup is good. You can share it."
The only maid left in the dining hall was used to it. She was not afraid and only bowed. "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
Jiang Wuhua only waved his hand and walked out.
