Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai and said," If you were a boy, our Xue family would not have to worry about prosperity!”
" Mom, why are you talking about this? Take a rest. I'll go prepare the gift list." Baochai turned around and left the room.
"Third Master! When I went to deliver the things to Miss Lin, the few ladies were also there. I reckon that Fourth Young Lady will definitely come to make trouble for Third Master tomorrow. Third Master must be prepared.”Fried Bean returned to the house and said.
"What did Yu 'Er say?" Jia Xuan asked.
"Perhaps it's because the ladies are here, but Miss Lin didn't say much. She only asked me to come back and thank Third Master.”
"Okay, go play." Jia Xuan nodded and said. Fried Bean gave Jia Xuan a bright little face and then went to look for fried melons and fruits. At this moment, Xiang Ling served tea." Third Master, have some tea."”Then, he stood quietly at the side.
"Why don't you go play with them?”Jia Xuan laughed.
"They've all gone to play. What about Third Master? It can't be without someone to serve you." Ever since Xiang Ling came over. Jian Mei and the other two women tactfully retreated from the area where the arrow was shot. Jia Xuan's personal service was all handed over to Xiang Ling.
In the Divine Capital, in the royal study of the palace, Emperor Long Xing was summoning the Third Prince.
"Imperial Father, now that Liuli's business has been expanded in Jiangnan, if we expand it in the Northwest and Southwest, it won't be a problem to earn ten million taels a year.”The Third Prince said. Ever since Emperor Long Xing handed over the glass business to the Third Prince to manage, the Third Prince and Jia Xuan had a good relationship in private, but they did not interact much. This was because both sides understood that one of them was a prince of the current dynasty, and the other was a general with military power. If they interacted too closely in private, it would be a big taboo.
Emperor Long Xing was in a good mood after hearing that. Now he had money, soldiers, and a peerless general like Jia Xuan. Emperor Long Xing felt that his throne was now truly stable.
"How is your Imperial Grandfather doing in Dragon Head Palace?”Emperor Long Xing asked.
"Replying to Imperial Father, Imperial Grandfather is devoted to the Dao in Longshou Palace and doesn't care about worldly affairs. It's just that Liang Junwang is always there to accompany you." The Third Prince said carefully.
As expected, Emperor Long Xing heard the words "Liang Junwang". His face sank. "Does that kid go there often?"
" Yes, I often go there, and I always get praise from Grandfather," the Third Prince replied.
"Are you still unwilling?" Emperor Long Xing muttered to himself. This Liang Junwang was the Di son of the deposed Crown Prince. When the deposed Crown Prince failed, he committed suicide, leaving only this child behind. The Retired Emperor felt guilty, but not only did he not punish him, he even conferred the title of Liang Junwang and doted on him. This had raised his heart and allowed him to regard himself as the legitimate royal family.
"En, zhen understands. You can go back now.”Emperor Long Xing waved his hand.
"Your son will take his leave." With that, the Third Prince left the royal study.
"Dai Quan! Send someone to keep a close eye on it. If there's anything, report it immediately. What had that kid been doing recently?”
"Lord Wansui, Liang Junwang has been very close to some of the officials recently and is very active. However, I didn't find any contact with the generals.”Dai Quan replied.
"Yes, he's still well-behaved. However, we have to be wary of the descendants trained by Brother Crown Prince. Who knew if this was just a facade? Back then, Brother Crown Prince had many tricks up his sleeve.”Emperor Long Xing said. He thought to himself,'If the old man becomes muddle-headed one day and hands over the military power to this kid, it would be dangerous.'
"What has Jia Xuan been doing these past few days?”
"Marquis of Zhenbei, other than going to the manor of Marquis of Zhenbei to take a look. He had just had a drink with the descendants of the noble families who were on the expedition. The rest of the time…" Speaking up to here, Dai Quan's expression was a little strange as he continued," Other than going to Lin Ruhai's Di daughter's place, he would play with his few servant girls.”
"Oh? Youth is good.”Emperor Long Xing smiled.
"Lord Wansui is also as strong as a dragon horse.”Dai Quan said.
"You old fool, all you know is flattery!”Emperor Longxing laughed.
In the Dragon Head Palace, a white-haired old man sat on the throne. He wore a bright yellow dragon robe. The young and handsome man sitting below was Liang Junwang.
"Imperial Grandfather, your body is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that Imperial Grandfather is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao.”Liang Junwang said.
"You brat! Don't flatter me. Tell me, is there anything you need from Imperial Grandfather?”The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Royal Grandfather, do you know that there is a talent in the Rong Mansion? It is said that he has the courage to fight ten thousand men." Liang Junwang smiled.
"You mean Jia Daishan's grandson?”The Retired Emperor looked nostalgic as he continued," It is said that he led 30,000 cavalrymen to attack the 600,000-strong army of the Luosha Kingdom when he was only 15 years old. In the end, he even managed to kill all the invading soldiers of the Luosha Kingdom. That was why he was conferred the title of first-class Northguard Marquis by the Emperor. Why? Was there something wrong with Jia Xuan?”
"It's not that there's anything wrong with it. It's just that from what I know, this person is arrogant and despotic. I heard that this person had a conflict with the Prince of the Duke of Yue Residence in the restaurant and killed more than twenty people from the Duke of Yue Residence.”Liang Junwang said.
"Bang!" The Retired Emperor slapped the dragon table." How can you be so arrogant and despotic! Men! Go and announce that Jia Xuan, Marquis of North Town, has come to see me in the Dragon Head Palace.”Immediately, a small yellow door ran out to pass on the message.
"Bang!" Emperor Long Xing also slapped the dragon table." This bastard, how dare he go to Dragon Head Palace to stir up trouble. Do you really think I can't do anything to him? Let's go! Go to Dragon Head Palace." Emperor Long Xing continued," I've never heard of any enmity between Jia Xuan and him. Could it be that he was entrusted by someone else?" Emperor Long Xing was puzzled.
"Lord Wansui, this servant might know something, but this servant doesn't dare to say it.”Dai Quan said.
"Although the internal supervisor can't interfere with politics, this is a special situation. I forgive you!"
"That Marquis Jia is the backbone of the Emperor. If that Liang Junwang has any disloyal intentions, his first goal is to get rid of Jia Xuan so that he can break one of the Emperor's arms.”Dai Quan said carefully.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Emperor Long Xing almost smashed his desk. "This lawless bastard!" However, with the Retired Emperor protecting him, Emperor Long Xing could do nothing to Liang Junwang. "Imperial Father is really old and muddle-headed!" Emperor Long Xing said angrily.
"Long live, watch your words!" After saying that, Dai Quan ran to the entrance of the royal study and looked around. "Did you hear anything?" The servant at the door was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled." Replying to Husband Dai, the servants have been at the door and didn't hear anything.”Dai Quan nodded in satisfaction and returned to the royal study.
"You old fool, aren't you being too cautious? If I can't even speak freely in my own royal study, then what's the point of being an emperor?”Emperor Long Xing said angrily.
"Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears? This was related to His Majesty's grand plan, so he could not be careless at all.”Dai Quan said cautiously.
Emperor Long Xing's expression softened." Doesn't Father know that doing so will be detrimental to the country?”
"Long live, the Retired Emperor is old, and it is inevitable that he will be bound by kinship. Moreover, the Retired Emperor was responsible for the death of the deposed Crown Prince.”Dai Quan advised.
"I just got one that can be used, and he is so impatient to destroy it. It can be seen that his heart is really big. He wants to covet the throne.”Emperor Long Xing said with a gloomy face.
"Liang Junwang, the crimes listed are neither too big nor too small. However, Marquis Jia had the duty of patrolling the public order, so there was no need for Lord Wansui to worry too much.”Dai Quan said.
"Then zhen will also make a trip to prevent Jia Xuan from suffering losses.”After saying that, he left the royal study. Dai Quan followed closely behind, thinking in his heart that in the future, he would definitely build a good relationship with Jia Xuan and definitely not provoke him.
When Emperor Long Xing arrived at Dragon Head Palace, he saw Emperor Jing Yuan sitting on the imperial table with a gloomy face. The Prince of Liang sat below him. When he saw Emperor Long Xing, he quickly stood up and bowed." Greetings, my nephew."”Emperor Long Xing nodded. In front of the Retired Emperor, he still had to give this kid some face.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
"Have a seat. May I know why the emperor has come to my place?”Emperor Jing Yuan asked.
"I just received news that my father is furious and wants to summon Jia Xuan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, for an audience. I wonder what happened.”Emperor Long Xing asked respectfully.
"Hmph, you still have the cheek to ask? That Jia Xuan was merely a Marquis, yet he dared to attack and kill the personal guards of the Public House. Was there still any law? You, the emperor, don't care? If you don't care, only I will help you.”Emperor Jing Yuan said angrily.
"How did Imperial Father find out about this?”Emperor Long Xing asked while holding back his anger.
"Long live, when my nephew entered the palace, he accidentally revealed his mouth. I hope Your Majesty will punish him.”Liang Junwang stood out and said.
"Let you know the ins and outs of the matter?”Emperor Long Xing asked calmly.
"I don't know about this, but everyone outside says so. Chen Ni also casually mentioned it to Imperial Grandfather.”Liang Junwang lowered his head. In a place where no one could see, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Just as Emperor Long Xing was about to say something, a small yellow door came in from outside, saying that Northern Zhenbei Marquis Jia Xuan had come to see him! "Announce!" Emperor Jing Yuan said.
Emperor Long Xing thought to himself that he really wasn't here to wait on him, so he wouldn't be late.
Originally, Jia Xuan was strolling around the Zhenbei Marquis Manor with the servant girl today. He suddenly received the Imperial Edict that the Retired Emperor wanted to see him, and he wondered in his heart,'Isn't the Retired Emperor focused on cultivation and ignoring worldly affairs?' Why did he want to see him at this time? It was such a sudden thing, Jia Xuan had a feeling that things were not that simple. However, he did not have time to think too much and followed Little Yellow Gate to Dragon Head Palace.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City, a young eunuch had already explained the matter clearly to Jia Xuan. Only then did Jia Xuan understand that someone had reported him to the Retired Emperor. However, he and Liang Junwang had never interacted with each other, nor did they have any grudges. Why would he do this? However, he couldn't figure it out in a short period of time, so he could only counter the move.
Jia Xuan entered the main hall of the Dragon Head Palace and bowed his head in greeting." I, First-class Marquis Jia Xuan, pay my respects to the Retired Emperor and Your Majesty. May all blessings be upon you."”
"Jia Xuan! Do you know your sins?" Emperor Jing Yuan said as he slapped the table.
