Chapter 289
"Your Highness, it's time to go on duty." Chen Tu came in to remind him. He was Jiang Zhao's guard. What he needed to do every day was to follow Jiang Zhao wherever he went. But it was also the first time he reminded his Highness to go on duty and not forget the time.
In the past, His Highness was very serious about going on duty. Since he gave up forcing the emperor that night, His Highness seemed to be much lazier.
In the past, His Highness only fed three or two birds, but today he fed a flock, which shows his carefree mind.
Could it be that the three divinations that night made His Highness lose confidence? It is indeed possible. But it is better than doing that thing. Madam said that if His Highness really planned that thing, he might not succeed. He did not dare to say this in front of His Highness, but he still believed what Madam said.
Even so, neither of them thought of retreating. Without His Highness, they would not be where they are today. Without His Highness, it is hard to say whether they are alive.
Jiang Zhao took the wet towel handed over by Chen Tu and wiped his hands: "Let's go."
He thought of Li Yan and Zhao Wuyue. He didn't bring them back. He asked them to stay there temporarily and practice their ability to move at night. He guessed that they would send him a letter after practicing for ten days or half a month, saying that they had practiced enough and wanted to apply to come back.
He was thinking about how to arrange for these two people when they came back. If they were not loyal to him, they would always have to use their labor to exchange for food.
They were eating from two families, so it was reasonable for them to work harder.
Li Yan and Zhao Wuyue had official positions, but they were just sesame seeds. They were only under the jurisdiction of him, the fifth prince, and they mainly assisted him and helped him manage matters related to the prince's mansion.
These two people were not important.
The most important thing at the moment was to find out the specific situation of the eldest sister and the third sister, and his engagement with Shen Dongning had to be cancelled as soon as possible. It's easy to cancel the engagement. He doesn't even need to do it himself. Just let the cheap father in the palace know. The final solution is probably to compensate him, and then Shen Dongning will enter the second brother's back house. There's no need to make this public. Smart people can figure out what's going on.
When Shen Dongning gives birth to the child, their guess will be confirmed.
His second brother's reputation is probably not safe, and people will look at him strangely for a long time in the future.
[Host, in fact, you will also be looked at twice. ] The system sensed Jiang Zhao's thoughts and couldn't help reminding him, [This is inevitable in any era. ]
Jiang Zhao leaned in the carriage, looking indifferent: "What if people look at me twice? I can use this as an excuse to postpone the marriage. Everyone will understand. I won't explain anything. I just say I don't want to get married. They dare not urge me to get married."
The Demon Lord just wants to be alone and enjoy his retirement life. How can he get married? He has no interest at all.
System: Well, it really is.
He thought too much. How could the host care about these things?
The original body really got an idle position. Jiang Zhao was assigned some things as soon as he sat down, but they were all trivial. In fact, the ministers did not believe in his ability, and his brothers did not want him to get involved in important things, which hindered his growth. The original body wanted to make a career and was very attentive to these things, but unfortunately, he could not do anything with these trivial things.
He was more lazy, basically handling things casually according to the original body's way, very slowly, and occasionally asked Chen Tu to send some snacks to eat, just like he couldn't do anything. The ministers looked at him and shook their heads, really unworthy of reuse. Some people were murmuring in their hearts. His Highness also said that he wanted to restrict the Fifth Prince, which was not necessary at all.
He was just a useless prince who was favored. I don't know what His Highness was worried about. His Majesty was a wise and powerful monarch, and it was absolutely impossible for him to choose a fool like the Fifth Prince to inherit the throne. His Highness is still a little narrow-minded and short-sighted. He should be reminded when he has time, so as not to ruin the big thing because of this matter.
When it was time to leave, Jiang Zhao immediately stood up and said goodbye to the ministers and went back to the palace.
It's good to have an idle job, and it only takes half a day.
I didn't expect that there are bosses in the world who are more conscientious than him.
The system was very silent. The host who had tasted the benefits of being a waste would never show any intelligence in this life.
I thought he had bound a king of rolls, and from then on there was a powerful host to lead him to roll through life and death in the small world.
But the host is really the best host. Whatever the other party likes, it doesn't affect the completion of the task anyway.
In the palace, Jiang Cheng got up early in the morning and was looking forward to hearing someone's voice. He didn't want to wait for half a day, but still didn't hear anyone. During this period, he thought a lot, guessing that this ability disappeared, or something unexpected happened that made him unable to hear. Fortunately, he had prepared himself mentally, and a morning was enough for him to calm down.
For lunch, he chose to eat at the Imperial Concubine Xia Zhizhi's place.
The Imperial Concubine really didn't have any thoughts, and she would eat more there. There was no need to guess what she was thinking, and it was a rare time to relax.
Jiang Cheng treated Xia Zhizhi the same as before, no, there was still a little difference, and he seemed to be more favored to Xia Zhizhi, which made the relevant people puzzled about what was going on.
"Maybe it's flattery?" Jing Fei murmured in a low voice. There was only her and the trusted maid beside her in the room, "Maybe that's it."
Otherwise, Lao Wu had violated the biggest taboo of His Majesty, and he was still fine until now? Then she would wait.
In fact, the Imperial Concubine was not a threat to her, but she had lived so comfortably these years, how could she not arouse jealousy.
Concubine Jing was the mother of the eldest prince Jiang Hui and the second princess Jiang Yue.
Concubine Lan couldn't figure out what was going on: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Concubine Lan was the mother of Jiang Jin and Jiang Li, who were dining in front of her.
Jiang Li complained a few times about this, and was obviously very upset about it.
Jiang Jin was much more rational. He thought this was just flattery, and the Imperial Concubine and Jiang Zhao's good days would not last long.
