Fish swimming around the world

The empress also talked about some matters of the court, but she didn't go into detail, probably because she knew Jiang Fan was not interested.

The only thing they discussed was the current war between Wei and Xia.

What Jiang Fan was more concerned about was that Wei and Xia seemed to have entered a protracted tug-of-war, but Southern Chu seemed to have taken the initiative, crossing the Wujiang River with force and continuously increasing its troops, with a tendency to fight Xia to the death.

The empress also frequently mobilized garrisons in response to this matter, which indirectly brought a lot of convenience to Jiang Fan, who was far away in Yining at the time.

As for the reason why Chu was so restless, Jiang Fan guessed that it was the sequelae of the Wujiang hegemony that year.

At that time, Xia was powerful, and took advantage of Chu's expedition to the southern border to send out surprise troops and seize the north bank of Wujiang in one fell swoop, thus causing the two countries to confront each other across the river.

The Chu State, which lost 16 cities on the north bank, had a big grudge with the Xia State. Since then, there have been constant frictions along the Wujiang River. This time, the Wei State has created a great opportunity, just like the Xia State took advantage of the fire to rob, it can be said that the situation has changed.

But the empress seemed to have a different opinion, saying that this was only one of the reasons.

The peace talks between Wei and Jin were finally declared over, and the Jin State paid the price of six cities in exchange for a temporary cessation of hostility.

I heard that Bai Shigong had visited Sima Ru, the national teacher of Wei State, and brought many gifts. Many people think that this incident will probably arouse the suspicion of the King of Wei, after all, this is a monarch who is suspicious by nature.

But Jiang Fan felt that the King of Wei would not be so generous, otherwise, as a branch of the Sima family, the King of Wei would not allow Sima Ru to take the position of the national teacher.

But there was one thing that the empress informed him with a smile, and Bai Shigong also did something, proposing marriage for the second prince.

The word "propose marriage" immediately aroused Jiang Fan's vigilance. The King of Wei has only one daughter!

Damn it, Jiang Fan almost jumped out of bed and rushed back to Jin State.

Suddenly he realized something was wrong, and seeing the empress's sneer with a mischievous look, he immediately reacted. This is not right.

The second prince just got his support to take the throne, how could he turn around and steal the love so quickly, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

After calming down, Jiang Fan realized that he almost fell into the trap of the empress.

There is probably a proposal for marriage, but the second prince obviously has other intentions in doing this. The senior officials of Jin State all know that he has the support of King Xiaoyao, and the two must have a close relationship, and there will inevitably be opponents who will use this to make trouble.

The second prince has no direct way to sever his relationship with King Xiaoyao, and it does not really affect anything. He simply proposes marriage and offends King Xiaoyao from a distance. This is Sima Laoer giving him a wink. He only needs to respond with an intense attitude to calm down a lot of messy voices.

So Mr. Jiang asked the empress guiltily if she had made a move.

After being looked down upon by the latter, he was satisfied.

But he thought it was funny that Lin Xiaoqi could write such a long scolding article, roundabout way to denounce the second prince as a ruthless, ungrateful and worthless person.

The scolding was very skillful, anyway Jiang Fan felt that he was not at that level. I guess the second prince was also very upset.

As smart as Mr. Jiang, once he thought it through, he quickly changed the topic. The cheating thing must not be discussed in depth.

But the empress seemed to be a little bit unwilling to give in, and as a result, Mr. Jiang got angry and talked about Xiao Ren Tu's senior brother.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang was so embarrassed that he was angry, the empress did not give in at all, and talked about the White Rabbit Saint.

2 to 1, Jiang Fan was completely defeated.

It was not until Jiang Fan interrupted the marriage of the eldest princess and Gao Rong that the empress stopped.

The wedding of the two was scheduled for the third day of the first lunar month, only five days away.

The empress said that everything was almost ready, except for the phoenix coronet and bridal robe that Jiang Fan had promised to send.

Jiang Fan decided to take time to visit the Gao family and the eldest princess to see the situation. After all, he was the one who facilitated this matter, not to mention that he was the witness.

The two of them giggled until almost noon, when Jiang Fan's stomach growled and woke them up.

The empress walked out of the bedroom with Jiang Fan generously.

But Mr. Jiang felt sympathetic, and he glanced at them secretly, always feeling that everyone was laughing at him.

But he was just being suspicious. The two walked out of the bedroom side by side. Who dared to watch this scene? Even the old guy pretended to be teasing a dog and didn't see it.

Zhao Gao originally thought that although the two were in love, they still had a bottom line after all, and didn't really do anything weird. But now his heart is really trembling.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and was waiting for the empress to return to the palace, but guess what?

She hugged him and went into the bedroom.

His Majesty held the prince horizontally.

The key is that he went in, but he still hasn't come out, all night.

This... this... what's the big deal! Have they stopped avoiding people?

But he dared to say anything. He stood at the door of the Plum Blossom Hall, looking down at his toes, and only used his peripheral vision to see the two of them talking and laughing as they walked in side by side, holding hands!

Well, if this gets out, your Majesty will have a husband. I dare not imagine what the people in the court will look like when they hear about this.

The people will probably like it, after all, in the eyes of the people, only people like the King of Free and Easy are worthy of the empress.

No matter how nervous he was, no matter how entangled he was, Zhao Gao almost admired his wise decision to hold the king's thigh.

OK, these little eyes are not in vain, focusing.

The breakfast in the prince's mansion is not as simple as in the palace. The King of Free and Easy has always believed that money is not saved. If you don't spend it and I don't spend it, who can I sell it to?

So he spent it.

There are dozens or even hundreds of dishes for every meal, lined up there, and everyone can have whatever they like.

The prince may have consumed too much last night, so he just made a small stir-fried kidney. Apart from that, the food was more like breakfast. It was served with a bowl of crab roe porridge, two cakes, one meat and one vegetable, a braised egg, and two small pickles.

His Majesty did not need anyone to serve him, but he seemed to be dazzled by the large tray he carried, and walked back and forth three times before it was full.

During this time, two cute and sweet little girls recommended it to His Majesty. At first, they were a little timid, but seeing that His Majesty was willing to accept it, they later introduced them one by one.

Zhao Gao did not dare to act rashly, and stood aside and bowed, ready to serve at any time.

Until His Majesty glanced at him and said, "Don't stand there, it will affect your appetite. Go and get something to eat yourself."

Although he was disliked by His Majesty, Zhao Gao was very happy. This tone did not treat him as an outsider.

So, he was also fortunate to join the army of people who served food, but the two little girls were warned that they should take as much as they could eat, and they would not waste it.

Miscellaneous waste? I'll see how Meng Yi's grandson doesn't waste!

This guy packed five trays of food and occupied a table by himself.

The empress couldn't help but pay attention to his appetite.

"The Meng family kid is strong and has a good appetite."

Jiang Fan curled his lips: "Everyone says he is a glutton but he doesn't admit it. He eats and drinks all day long and never pays a penny for food."

"Isn't it natural for you, a master, to eat."

Jiang Fan sighed: "This master is losing money."
