Chapter 25 Choosing a spouse?
Jiang Lingyin was in a bad mood.
She returned to the farm alone from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Mengduo: "My dear master, are you sad because of the general?"
Jiang Lingyin: “I didn’t.”
Mengduo: "You do, but why, dear master?"
Jiang Lingyin sighed and told Mengduo how she didn’t have the chance to confess her feelings to Ye Zhi until she died in her previous life.
Mengduo said, "I'm sorry, dear master. At that time, I hadn't followed you yet. I didn't know that your love was strangled before it even sprouted."
Jiang Lingyin: “…”
"I advise you to shut up and don't force me to beat you up!"
Mengduo is scared.
It whined and said, "My dear master, you can't be violent to the baby. If you hit me, you will also feel pain!"
Jiang Lingyin was completely speechless.
She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Besides the Nine Revolutions Pill, can you find other medicines that can reshape the meridians?"
Meng Duo chuckled, "Kiss the master... No."
"why?"
"Because there is nothing in this space. There is neither ready-made elixir nor prescription, so we can only search from this world. I remember telling the master that I can't create something out of nothing."
Jiang Lingyin was a little disappointed.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Lingyin returned to the farm.
I saw Xu Hongyang waiting outside the farm from a distance.
Seeing Jiang Lingyin coming back from afar, he hurried over.
"Miss, someone is coming to the mansion."
Jiang Lingyin naturally knew where this "mansion" was.
More than half a month ago, she sneaked into Kyoto with a mountain eagle and looted the prince's palace and the prime minister's residence.
He also left some gifts for the bastard Li Zhen and Jiang Yeqiu.
Recently, the curfew in Kyoto has been brought forward by half an hour.
Jingzhao Prefecture, Dali Temple and the Six Gates were all so busy that smoke was coming out of their mouths.
The royal palace and the prime minister's residence were completely looted, and half a month passed, but there was no news of the thieves.
His Majesty was furious in the court.
"Are you all good-for-nothings? The thieves were so bold that they emptied the Eighth Prince's Mansion and Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion overnight, but you couldn't find any clues!
Are the thieves going to empty the national treasury tonight?
If the thief comes to take my head tomorrow night, will it be as easy as taking something out of a bag? !
What use are you! If we don't catch the thief within three days, we will all be held accountable!"
All the ministers fell silent and dared not move.
The Eighth Prince has been on leave for half a month and has not attended court because of the big "turtle" on his face that cannot be washed off.
In just a few days, Jiang Yeqiu gained a lot of weight, pustules and blisters appeared on his face, and he didn't dare to go out.
But the news still spread like wildfire.
Jiang Yeqiu has now become a laughing stock in the entire capital.
A group of noble ladies were eating sunflower seeds, snacks, and drinking tea and said, "Jiang Yeqiu is much uglier than Jiang Lingyin now."
"Ah? Uglier than Jiang Lingyin?"
"She's not only ugly, but also fat. The day before yesterday, I went to the Jiang residence and Jiang Yeqiu said she was sick and refused to see me. But even through the screen, I could see her body, which was as fat as a pig and as thick as steamed buns."
"Hey, Zhang Piao, aren't you best friends with Su Lai and Jiang Ye Qiu? Why are you making fun of her now?"
"Tsk, who wants to be friends with her? She is now the ugliest woman in the capital!"
"Yes, yes, Jiang Yeqiu has become ugly and fat. Then you, the daughter of the Shangshu who has always been the second-best, will be the most noble lady in the capital."
Zhang Piao rolled his eyes, proudly raised his hand to block the light and looked at the sky.
"It's getting late. I need to go to the cloth shop to get some floating brocade to make some clothes."
……
Jiang Lingyin knew exactly what was going to happen in Kyoto.
But now, why did someone suddenly come to the mansion?
No one in the Jiang family cares about her.
After all, Jiang Yeqiu is busy taking care of himself now and should not have the time to cause trouble for her.
Xu Hongyang said, "Miss, Steward Lu sent someone to say that His Majesty's birthday will be in half a month, so please return home as soon as possible to prepare.
The Wanshou Festival is held grandly every year. This year, His Majesty specifically instructed his ministers to bring girls of appropriate age from their families to participate.
So, Miss, you have to go too.
Housekeeper Lu specifically asked Miss to return home as soon as possible and learn some etiquette from the teaching nanny, so as not to offend His Majesty during the birthday celebration."
In the entire Jiang family, only Lu Zhiyuan has a conscience.
But Jiang Lingyin was still puzzled, "Why? The emperor is so shameless, he still plans to hold a beauty contest?"
Xu Hongyang quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, the person who came said that Butler Lu asked him to tell the young lady not to be afraid. This year, His Majesty mainly wants to use the Longevity Festival to choose a husband for the prince of appropriate age and General Ye.
Miss, you and the Eighth Prince have already been engaged, so you don't have to worry. You won't be chosen anyway."
"Huh? What's that? Choosing a bride? Which Night General?"
Xu Hongyang smiled and said, "How many generals can I have in Longyuan? Which general is worthy of your majesty worrying about his marriage? It must be the great general Ye Wenjing who retired from the army and lived in seclusion."
Jiang Lingyin's teeth were almost broken.
Choose a wife for him?
Xu Hongyang didn't know that behind the farm's southern mountain, in the dense mountains, Ye Wenjing lived in the bamboo forest.
Seeing that Jiang Lingyin looked unhappy, he asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Lingyin: "No, it seems that I can't avoid this Wanshou Festival. It's just right that I should go back to Kyoto and settle accounts with certain people!"
It just so happened that Shanying had just returned from a training session with the Snow Leopard Commandos.
Miaoyan saw Jiang Lingyin and ran over.
"Miss, someone came to the mansion and told us to go back."
Miaoyan was a little depressed.
It would be so nice to just stay on the farm.
If I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will only be bullied.
Jiang Lingyin patted her shoulder and said, "Silly girl, don't be sad. We are going back to get revenge. Don't be afraid!"
"Yeah! Now who am I afraid of!"
Miaoyan held the dagger.
Like a female warrior.
It really is a trauma from the bullying I suffered in the past.
Mentioning the Jiang Mansion makes me feel like I'm going to be humiliated.
"Miss, I swear to protect you till my death!"
Jiang Lingyin was helpless, "I have told you so many times, don't call yourself a slave."
"Yes! I will listen to you, young lady!"
Miaoyan quickly saluted in a standard manner.
Jiang Lingyin said, "Miaoyan, go get the other two girls in the team."
Among the members of the Snow Leopard Commando Team, there are only two women besides Miaoyan.
After a while, Miaoyan brought them here.
Jiang Lingyin said: "Hongxiao, Hanyun, you two go with Miaoyan to get some clothes cut today. Miaoyan will choose the styles for you. We will go to Kyoto in a few days."
Hongxiao and Hanyun have now learned to obey orders.
All actions are carried out according to orders, without asking reasons.
"Yes! Miss."
Jiang Lingyin gave Miaoyan some more money and asked them to go to the nearest market to buy clothes and jewelry.
Jiang Lingyin called Chu Tianxun and said, "Take your team and sneak into Kyoto, rent a house and live there, then wait for Shanying to contact you."
"Okay, Miss!"
Jiang Lingyin narrowed her beautiful eyes.
He left Kyoto in a panic.
If I go back now, how can I not cause chaos?
