Chapter 267 Princess Qi
He Yunxiao is never at home. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, he spends very little time at home.
There are many reasons for being homeless. For example, there are no peers at home, which makes it very boring. Or, for example, if you often stay at home and hang around in front of your father, there is a high probability that you will be punished by the family for walking with your left foot first.
Even though Sister Jiang moved in, He Yunxiao didn't spend all day hanging out with her at home. Instead, he continued to run around outside, busy with business, busy with spies, and busy with the heroine.
Compared to He Yunxiao, Jiang Wuyou was much more leisurely. Now that she was living in the Hou Mansion, she didn't have to be busy with matters at Chunfeng Tower. She got up early in the morning and said good morning to her mistress. After breakfast, she had nothing to do and was so idle.
If she really needed to have a peaceful mind during pregnancy, she would be free when she was free. The fact was that she was not pregnant at all and was so free that she didn't know what to do.
Plus she was pretending to be pregnant, so even if she did find something to do, no one would dare to let her take over. Otherwise, no one will be able to bear the responsibility for anything that happens to the heirs of the He family in the future.
Jiang Wuyou had nothing to do, so he closed the door again, took out the small piece of paper with He Yunxiao's message and read it again. This note has not been updated in two days. The reason is simple because she has moved into the Hou Mansion in the past two days.
Although the Hou Mansion is safe, compared with Chunfeng Tower, information transmission is not smooth.
The messaging model used in Chunfeng Tower no longer works here, and a new way is needed.
Jiang Wuyou didn't really want to mobilize Yan State's secret agents to re-establish a network in the Hou Mansion. It wasn't because it was extremely difficult or because he was afraid of being discovered, it was just because he was just lazy.
The time in the Hou Mansion was quiet and leisurely. I tidied He Yunxiao's bedding, had dinner with his parents-in-law, and then went back to his room to find something to do. Even if there is nothing to do like now, it doesn't matter. Living in the Hou Mansion will not make you panic because of nothing, nor will you be scared because of the silence.
Ordinary and boring, it is a rare good day.
Once the spy network is reestablished in the Hou Mansion, it will inevitably be controlled by Emperor Yan of the Yan State, and at the same time, it will have to be alert to Qi State's movements at all times. You won't be able to sleep on a quiet night, but you can fall asleep better if you listen to noise.
Having been poisoned by Emperor Yan, Jiang Wuyou knew that she would not be able to escape the fate of being a chess piece in the end. She only hoped that time could slow down a little longer and fate would come a little later.
Jiang Wuyou took out the small pieces of paper recording He Yunxiao's news from the wooden box, spread them on the table, and looked at them one by one with a smile on his lips.
After watching for a while, someone knocked on the door and said, "Miss Jiang, my wife invites you to come over."
Zhang Jingxian invited her, so naturally Jiang Wuyou didn't dare to neglect. He hurriedly cleared the table, put the wooden box of notes away, and followed the maid over.
Jiang Wuyou thought very clearly that Zhang Jingxian was his future mother-in-law. Even if she sacrificed some benefits for He Yunxiao, she must try her best to please her mother-in-law. He Yunxiao would not leave him because he was eccentric twice, but his mother-in-law might have a bad impression of him because of this, and instead make things difficult for He Yunxiao and spoil the marriage by saying bad things.
Jiang Wuyou had deliberately paid attention to news about his parents-in-law when he was in Chunfeng Tower. To be honest, their personalities are quite easy to get along with. According to Zhang Jingxian's character, she wouldn't say bad things about others. Yin Jing's orthodox ladies disdain to make small stumbling blocks.
During dinner today, Jiang Wuyou saw everything that his parents-in-law suppressed He Yunxiao in order to protect themselves. Although she had no feelings for He Yuanhao and Zhang Jingxian, Jiang Wuyou would feel inexplicably happy when they defended her.
Probably because she has been separated from her parents since she was a child. She has never seen her since then and is rarely loved by her parents. Now that I have a little bit of it, it's like rain.
The place where Zhang Jingxian asked Jiang Wuyou to come was the back garden of He Mansion.
He Yuanhao has never been an elegant person, but the valuable thing is that he never pretends to be elegant. He acts like a fool all day long, but he is lazy, but he knows how to fight. Thanks to him, the back garden of He Mansion can only be said to be barely adequate. Compared with the likes of Antler Academy, it is in the sky and on the ground.
Without Zhang Jingxian's usual management, this garden would have to be stripped to grow vegetables.
Two ladies were talking and laughing by the garden pond. The two of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes, Zhang Jingxian was more simple and elegant, while the woman was more low-key and gorgeous.
Jiang Wuyou was called forward by Zhang Jingxian and said to Zhang Jingxian: "My slave, please pay my respects to Madam." She turned her head and glanced at the gorgeous woman, then said her greetings: "My slave, please pay your respects to Princess Qi."
Guhou
Princess Qi is about the same age as Zhang Jingxian, more than thirty years old. Like many noble ladies, she is very well-maintained. He has a tall and straight posture, fair and supple skin, and a gentle and elegant demeanor.
If she wasn't famous, even if she lied that she was under thirty, many people would believe her.
When Princess Qi saw Jiang Wuyou, she smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, do you know me?"
Jiang Wuyou lowered his head and replied: "Last time I came to the palace to perform a dance, I was lucky enough to meet the princess."
After hearing this, Princess Qi praised Jiang Wuyou, "My girl's dancing skills are outstanding. When she danced at the Queen Mother's birthday party last year, An Jian was still in her eyes."
Princess Qi, named Lin Anjian, like Zhang Jingxian, she also remarried to Prince Qi's palace for her elder sister after her elder sister's death, renewing the relationship between the Lin family and the Meng family.
Although Jiang Wuyou was praised by Lin Anjian, he still said modestly: "It is a slave's fortune to be loved by the princess."
Lin Anjian suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "Miss Jiang, why are you here? You're not..."
Zhang Jingxian was afraid that Jiang Wuyou would be embarrassed, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.
"No matter what happened in the past, Wuyou followed that ignorant boy in my family, and from now on he will be considered a member of the He family. Wuyou, come and call your cousin."
Whether it is the Qi State or the Yan State, it is extremely common for high-ranking officials and nobles to marry each other. For a wealthy family like the Zhang family of Dingguo that has been around for hundreds of years, the relationship between relatives has long been a mess. They are related by blood to almost every family and tribe. It is impossible to calculate who is whose uncle and who is whose grandnephew.
For the wealthy families closer to Yin Jing, you can find relatives within a few generations of the Zhang family, and for those farther away, you can have relationships with them even two or three generations away.
Although Jiang Wuyou had received the blessing of intelligence, he could not understand the relationship between the various families at all, so he could only follow Zhang Jingxian and call out: "Cousin aunt."
Lin Anjian responded with a smile, and then said unceremoniously: "Xian'er, I also want to see Xiao Wuyou dance."
Zhang Jingxian's expression changed. How could Jiang Wuyou be pregnant...
Just when she was about to refuse, Jiang Wuyou immediately answered: "Madam, I am fine. Besides, it is my honor to have the opportunity to dance for the princess."
Zhang Jingxian understood that compared to the risks of dancing, the risk of being discovered was obviously greater.
She said: "The place here is too small and there is too little flat ground to make it convenient to dance. When I ask someone to put up the stage that was used for the theater, we can dance again without any worries."
Lin Anjian wanted to watch the dance, so she urged Zhang Jingxian to supervise the work and not allow people to be lazy.
Zhang Jingxian was so frustrated by her that she asked Jiang Wuyou to take care of her cousin, and then went to supervise the work.
After Zhang Jingxian left and there were only two people left in the garden, Lin An simply looked at Jiang Wuyou with interest.
"Is there anything you want to ask, Princess?" Jiang Wuyou asked.
Instead, Lin Anjian said, "It should be that you have something to ask."
"Me?" Jiang Wuyou didn't understand.
"Yes. I have had speculations before, but it was not until yesterday that I was really sure. It turns out that Emperor Yan has deployed two spy networks in Yin Jing. One is for you, and the other is for me."
