Chapter 126 Evenly matched
With such subtle treatment, you will naturally be able to win the beauty.
Seeing Jiang Yanxu's guilty look towards His Royal Highness Prince Jing, Wen Zhiqing could not help but feel helpless, but he did not say much. Now that His Majesty was not feeling well, the calls for the establishment of a crown prince were getting louder and louder in the court, but Emperor Shunqing had not yet expressed his wish to appoint a crown prince.
There are only four adult princes now, and the only three princes who have the opportunity to compete for the throne are Prince Ze, Prince Jing, and Prince Rui.
Although Prince Ze is the emperor's eldest son, he is cowardly and nepotistic, and he obeys Concubine De's orders. Emperor Shunqing has always disliked him, but the power behind him should not be underestimated.
Over the years, Concubine Yuan has been secretly competing with Concubine De, trying to suppress her and provide opportunities for Prince Rui, but all her efforts ended in failure.
Over time, Concubine Yuan did not dare to continue to cause trouble for Concubine De. Although there were constant fights between the two, they did not dare to make too much trouble. It can be said that they were equally matched.
As for the fourth prince Xiao Jinheng, his mother was just a maidservant beside Empress Xie, and she has now passed away.
He was not favored by Emperor Shunqing, nor did he have the support of a noble family. If it were not for Xiao Jingchuan who always protected him, he would have lost his place in the palace.
Now he is just an idle prince, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and has no ambition to make progress. Naturally, he is not to be feared.
Xiao Jinrui had always been determined to get the position of the crown prince, but he never expected that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. Xiao Jingchuan returned triumphantly and was highly valued by Emperor Shunqing, catching him off guard. Wen Zhiqing had originally thought that Xiao Jinrui's future achievements would be immeasurable, but now it seems that is not entirely true.
If Miss Jiang San could marry His Royal Highness Prince Jing, it would be even more powerful for His Royal Highness Prince Jing. However, General Jiang has always remained neutral, so he is not willing to marry his daughter into the royal family. If His Royal Highness Prince Jing wants to marry Miss Jiang San, it will not be an easy thing.
And now Jiang Yanxu was almost sold out, and he was still counting money for him. Wen Zhiqing really didn't know how to explain it to him. He was just a little depressed when he thought about how Miss Jiang San was missed by others. No matter what, he could achieve such success now, which was naturally inseparable from Miss Jiang San's recommendation. It was neither emotional nor logical for him to ignore it. After thinking for a moment, Wen Zhiqing looked at Jiang Yanxu and said:
"As the saying goes, those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is so close to you, you should consider whether he has other intentions. You should know that those who eat the food should be grateful, and those who take the food should be soft-handed. Don't put yourself in a dilemma!"
Listening to Wen Zhiqing's words, Jiang Yanxu said nonchalantly, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been so kind to me. It's only natural that he's impressed by my skills. At most, if he needs me in the future, I'll do my best. It's not as complicated as you think! Come on, we've finally gotten together. If we don't get drunk today, wouldn't it be a waste of this beautiful time?"
Wen Zhiqing looked at Jiang Yanxu's indifferent expression and shook his head helplessly. No matter what, since His Royal Highness Prince Jing had said it clearly, then pretending to be unaware was undoubtedly the best option.
A thousand cups of wine are not enough when you are with a good friend. It is really not a good time to waste such a beautiful scene. Moreover, he has been under a lot of pressure recently and it is time to relax. At this moment, Wen Zhiqing stopped thinking about those trivial matters and drank with Jiang Yanxu.
Since Jiang Yanxu joined the Jiang Family Army, he rarely had the opportunity to indulge himself like this. He immediately started drinking with Wen Zhiqing. As the moonlight grew darker, the two put down their glasses.
Jiang Yanxu was drunk at this time, but he also felt much more cheerful. He could not help but pick up the folding fan on the table and started practicing martial arts.
Wen Zhiqing saw that he was so excited and immediately praised him. Seeing this, Jiang Yanxu raised his lips slightly and then hit Wen Zhiqing.
Seeing him like this, Wen Zhiqing's eyes flashed with a hint of fun, and he immediately started fighting with Jiang Yanxu.
The two fought hard, and Jiang Yanxu was getting more and more excited. He hadn't had such a good fight for a long time. Now he could fight with him, which made him feel very comfortable. At that moment, Jiang Yanxu jumped up and prepared to use the force to jump up.
Unexpectedly, his foot slipped and he flew out of the wall. Wen Zhiqing could not help but stare blankly, his eyes full of disbelief. Seeing that Jiang Yanxu was no longer in the yard, Wen Zhiqing could only look at the wall helplessly.
Then he jumped up and stood on the top of the wall. He looked down and found that Jiang Yanxu was fighting with a woman. Wen Zhiqing's face changed and he hurried forward to stop the attack of the two.
At this time, Hua Leshi was very angry. She looked at Jiang Yanxu with murderous eyes. She was sitting in the garden and didn't want to be thrown to the ground by this lecher. She also took advantage of him. How could she bear it? She immediately used all her strength to hit Jiang Yanxu.
Jiang Yanxu had hit someone and felt a little guilty, but seeing the woman in front of him using deadly moves, leaving him no chance to breathe, Jiang Yanxu did not dare to be careless and began to dodge with all his might. While dodging, he started to explain and looked at Wen Zhiqing for help:
"Help! Wen Zhiqing, why didn't you tell me there was a tigress living next door to you?"
Wen Zhiqing wanted to take action, but he was still so outspoken. Seeing Jiang Yanxu doing it with ease, Wen Zhiqing did not take action. Instead, she looked at him and said, "You disturbed the peace and quiet yourself, and now you are still so unrepentant. You should be taught a lesson and let the girl vent her anger.
Hua Leshi was unmoved by Wen Zhiqing's words and continued to attack Jiang Yanxu with deadly moves. Jiang Yanxu had been fighting with Wen Zhiqing for a long time and was already exhausted. He had no energy left to fight Hua Leshi. He looked at Hua Leshi and begged for mercy:
"Girl, girl, let's talk it out! I really didn't pounce on you. I apologize. Hey! Don't be angry!..."
"You still dare to say that, you scoundrel! Prepare to die!" Seeing that Jiang Yanxu dared to bring up the matter, Hua Leshi's face flushed red, and she immediately attacked Jiang Yanxu.
Jiang Yanxu had already lost all his strength at this point, and was immediately knocked to the ground by Hua Leshi. Seeing the sharp sword in Hua Leshi's hand about to fall, Hua Shu hurriedly called out to her:
"Leshi, stop it!"
