C41 The Young Lady of the Jiang Family Suddenly Appeared

"Your Highness, Lord Jiang has come to see you." Steward Li interrupted Duan Shuang and Jiegeng's practice.

"Okay, I understand." Duan Shuang looked at the butler and wanted to stop talking.

The butler had been by Duan Shuang's side for many years, so he naturally knew what Duan Shuang meant. "Miss Jiang is here too."

Duan Shuang looked like he had expected it. He turned to Jiegeng and said, "You should practice here. I have already told you everything. Your movements are not too difficult. Just keep practicing like this. " After saying that, he left.

After Duan Shuang left, Jiegeng naturally had a belly full of questions.

"Butler Li, what is the background of this Miss Jiang?" Seeing that Butler Li did not leave in a hurry like Duan Shuang, Jiegeng immediately asked Butler Li.

"Miss Jiang is the current empress dowager's niece. The empress dowager has always been matchmaking this niece with our prince." Steward Li was a smart person. He simply told Jiegeng what Jiegeng wanted to know the most.

When Jiegeng heard this, she felt really unhappy in her heart. I was wondering why he left in such a hurry. So he was going to meet a beauty? Then what am I? They are all people that the Empress Dowager likes, so why would she need me as a 'shield'?

Jiegeng's mind could not be bothered with martial arts, and she unconsciously walked to the garden near the main hall.

"Your Highness, this lowly subject has come here to discuss the matter of the Northwest Army's capital with Your Highness." Lord Jiang waited for Duan Shuang to sit at the main seat and immediately reported the reason for his visit.

Duan Shuang nodded, "This morning, I would like to see the relevant memorial."

"Wanxin came under the orders of the Empress Dowager, but it would not be good to disturb the Lord and Father discussing important matters. Wanxin will take her leave first. " Jiang Wanxin blessed her body and desired to withdraw.

" You are under orders from the Empress Dowager to leave just like that. How are you going to explain it to the Empress Dowager! " Lord Jiang was the first to scold Jiang Wanxin.

"Did you search for a new chess game this time?" Duan Shuang ignored Master Jiang's rudeness.

"Your Highness, Wanxin got a lot of chess pieces when she was recuperating at Master Jing An's place."

"That's good. Wanxin, you can wait for Father and Your Highness to discuss a big matter before playing chess with Your Highness." Lord Jiang seized the opportunity and immediately made arrangements.

Lord Jiang repeatedly overstepped his boundaries, clearly making Duan Shuang unhappy.

"You go to the back garden first." Duan Shuang's voice was clearly much lower. This also alerted Lord Jiang. He had indeed been a little rash just now.

Lord Jiang was smiling at this moment.

Jiang Wanxin did not mind. After her body was full, she left the hall.

Jiegeng, who was strolling in the garden, happened to bump into Jiang Wanxin who was leisurely walking over.

Jiegeng, who originally did not want to meet Jiang Wanxin, was stopped by Jiang Wanxin.

"This must be Miss Bai, right?" Jiang Wanxin's voice was very gentle and Jiegeng did not hear any malice from her words.

"Yes, I am." Jiegeng had a deep impression of Lau Yunyan, Ho Lingloong and the others and always felt that it had something to do with Duan Shuang. Moreover, the girls who came to find trouble were all here to find trouble, but it was not good to throw a face in Zhen'an King. She could only respond.

"I wonder if I can treat Miss Bai to a cup of tea with me?" Jiang Wanxin also noticed the wariness in Jiegeng's words and smiled instead.

Jiegeng looked at Jiang Wanxin for a long time before nodding her head.

"The Royal Highness treats Miss Bai very special." Jiang Wanxin and Jiegeng sat together on a stone table in the garden. Jiang Wanxin looked at Jiegeng. There was a smile in her eyes. "You are the first woman I have seen who can walk around freely in the residence."

"Aren't you the same?" Jiegeng did not know Jiang Wanxin's attitude. However, Jiang Wanxin gave off a different feeling from Ruyan Liu and the others. At least from the beginning to the end, her words and actions did not show any malice.

"Of course it is different. I only occasionally do it because of the Empress Dowager's decree. Talent. With the permission of His Royal Highness, he strolled around the garden. As far as I know, you've been in the Imperial Residence for the past few days. " Jiang Wanxin's words carried a hint of ridicule, unlike the jealousy Jiegeng was familiar with.

"What is the relationship between you and the Royal Highness?" Jiegeng could not bear to keep beating around the bush and directly pierced through this layer of window paper.

Hearing this obvious jealousy, Jiang Wanxin could not help but laugh. "Miss Bai do not misunderstand. I am just a chess friend of the Royal Highness."

"Chess friend?" Jiegeng looked at her doubtfully.

"Yes, I was just doing it with His Highness and following the Empress Dowager's wishes." Jiang Wanxin also could not bear to continue teasing Jiegeng and said frankly.

"What is the meaning of this?" Jiegeng became more and more confused.

"The Empress Dowager has always hoped that I could marry into the Imperial Residence, but there is no friendship between the Royal Highness and me, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan." Jiang Wanxin explained.

"Is there a need for such a thing to happen when the Royal Highness is unwilling?" These few days, Jiegeng had been taught by Shihan how Duan Shuang rejected the good intentions of the Emperor and Empress back then. This must be the mother of the Empress Dowager, how could she stop Duan Shuang?

"Everyone knows that this Empress Dowager is not the birth mother of the Emperor and the Royal Highness. Under the imperial power, the Empress Dowager naturally had to think of ways to consolidate her family's honor and status. Unfortunately, after the empress dowager's niece entered the Emperor's harem, but never got a pet. Thus, the empress dowager set her sights on me. Father, he..." At this point, Jiang Wanxin could only feel a deep sense of helplessness.

" Fortunately, my health has always been poor. From time to time, I have to go to Master Jing An outside the city to recuperate. Otherwise, I would have long become a sacrificial lamb for the imperial power like my cousin." Jiang Wanxin mocked herself. " Perhaps it was out of consideration for the political situation, but he did not refute the empress dowager too much. "

Jiegeng felt relieved and at the same time began to admire this woman in front of her. In the end, she was also unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate. Only then could she compromise with Duan Shuang and deceive the family together with him. She did not expect that this gentle girl in front of her would have such courage.

"I was thinking about when my days would end, but now it seems like it's time." Jiang Wanxin looked at Jiegeng and seemed to have something in mind.

Jiegeng knew what she was talking about and said helplessly. "I'm afraid Miss Jiang will be disappointed. I am the same as Miss Jiang. I'm just a shield. You're blocking the Empress Dowager for Duan Shuang, and I'm helping him block the peach blossoms. Wave after wave of butterflies."

Jiang Wanxin was rather surprised by Jiegeng's answer. " Did he say that to you? " Jiang Wanxin looked at her suspiciously.

"Yes." Jiegeng was dejected, but luckily this girl in front of her was not Duan Shuang's sweetheart. Otherwise, she would not be as gentle and generous as her.

Jiang Wanxin smiled but did not say anything.

This was precisely because of that sentence, The person involved is the one who is lost. Perhaps even Zhen'an King himself did not see his heart clearly.
