Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 744 Did Zhou Hai betray the second prince?

What happened? Jiang Youzhen was only away from Beijing for a month, but he missed so many important events?

The status of princesses in this dynasty is still high, especially Princess Chonghua, who is the emperor's biological sister.

The prince consort who marries a princess has to behave himself and look good on the outside, but he has to obey the princess in everything.

Isn't the Duke of Anguo already old? Why is he still following others and keeping a concubine? He even gave birth to a child with a concubine!!! Wouldn't that bring shame to the princess?

In this dynasty, the emperor's son-in-law is not allowed to take concubines, let alone give birth to illegitimate children. Although there is no man who does not cheat, sometimes it is not excessive, and the royal family will turn a blind eye. But you even gave birth to a child, isn't this too much?

"How old is that child?" Jiang Youzhen felt like a badger in a melon field at this moment, and he wished he could grab a handful of melon seeds right now.

"I heard he is sixteen." Mu Yuan was very happy to say it. How happy would it be to work with a superior who shared the same hobbies?

"So big?" Jiang Youzhen was shocked. He was only three or four years younger than Princess Ling Shuang.

Tsk tsk! She is still strong despite her old age. Princess Lingshuang is already an old lady.

"This matter is not over yet!" Mu Yuan said mysteriously.

"Wasn't Duke Anguo unwilling to accept this? He said that the eldest princess raised...that thing..." Mu Yuan said as he glanced out the window.

Keeping a lover? Jiang Youzhen was very excited when he heard this.

"He said the eldest princess can do it, why should he keep it?"

Who asked him to marry the princess? How did he get the position of Duke? Wasn't it because of the princess? A gigolo, he still cares about it. Jiang Youzhen curled his lips.

"You mean that?" Mu Yuan didn't explain.

Jiang Youzhen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you need to have some self-awareness. What happened next?"

"He's been locked up!" Mu Yuan looked relieved. A gigolo should have this awareness.

From the past dynasties to the present, it is not uncommon for princesses to keep lovers. Why do you still care about this? If you don't want to, there are many people who are willing!

When Jiang Youzhen saw Mu Yuan's performance, he felt that this man was not a chauvinist after all and only cared about power.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

"Princess Lingshuang and her husband have quarrels from time to time, but it's no big deal now. The other day, they wanted to divorce, but when they saw that the husband was imprisoned, the husband immediately stopped talking."

Jiang Youzhen suddenly found it funny, but this Duke himself was of high status and was not a gigolo.

The Crown Prince of Rong, from Prince Yu's family, was not originally willing to marry Princess Ling Shuang. Neither of them can do anything to the other, so just make do with it!

After that, Mu Yuan said there was nothing else to do, but Jiang Youzhen had an idea.

"Working in the Inspectorate is an important position." Jiang Youzhen pursed his lips and smiled, then seemed to be thinking about something.

Although he lost in the Imperial Academy, he immediately turned to the Censorate, which shows that he is not a pushover. Moreover, a small seventh-rank official dared to offend the prince consort in order to get promoted. There must be someone behind him supporting him.

Moreover, not only the prince consort suffered a loss in this matter, but the eldest princess also lost face. If no one protects her, she may disappear without a trace.

The child's consort hid so well, but he was suddenly discovered. Either someone heard the news, or someone familiar with him discovered something.

The eldest princess and the people around her can't do that. She has to save face and solve it secretly.

For some reason, Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of the Crown Prince of Rongguo. She always felt that the Crown Prince of Rongguo was not as he appeared to be.

The Crown Prince of Rong has had some contact with the Fourth Prince, but he is probably not from the Fourth Prince's lineage.

Whatever! As long as this matter does not affect me, it will be fine. But I will definitely meet Yu Feng in the future.

Jiang Youzhen has not forgotten that she holds a position in the Censorate. So by this calculation, her rank is actually lower than the other party's. Fortunately, it is only a part-time position.

After meeting Qian Songyun today, she did not give her any tasks. Qian Songyun gave her two days to rest and adapt, saying that there would be some editing work waiting for her later.

Because the "Collected Statutes - Ministry of Personnel" compiled by Jiang Youzhen was very detailed, the emperor felt that it was very comprehensive and rigorous in its summary, so the next task should be to compile this.

"The Emperor will go to Wenyuan Pavilion tomorrow. Lectures on the classics are the duty of officials in the Hanlin Academy. You are the tutor, so you must be there tomorrow."

Qian Songyun reminded Jiang Youzhen that Jiang Youzhen was a compiler before, and she didn't have to go if the emperor didn't appoint her, but it was different as a tutor.

"You should prepare yourself. The Emperor will ask questions tomorrow."

"Yes, I will do my best!"

Jiang Youzhen came out of Qian Songyun's study and went straight back to his own study.

With an independent study room, Jiang Youzhen feels extremely relaxed even if he doesn't do anything.

However, the purpose of the lectures on the classics is to answer the emperor's questions, but isn't it actually to test their knowledge? It can be seen that even if they enter the officialdom, they cannot relax.

Jiang Youzhen took the books borrowed from Wenyuan Pavilion and began to read them carefully.

Until the end of his job, Jiang Youzhen rubbed his neck. When he was immersed in reading, time passed really quickly.

As soon as he walked to the carriage, Jiang Youzhen spotted Zhou Hai waving at him from a distance.

Jiang Youzhen read the court bulletin when he was in Tongzhou Prefecture, and he knew that the second prince had made a great contribution this time.

Not only did he uproot the rebels, he also captured He Lian, the remnant of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, He Lian committed suicide halfway through the journey, swallowing gold, and the second prince could only cut off his head and return to the capital.

Although this was a free achievement, the obstacles along the way cannot be summed up in a few words. This time the emperor gave a lot of rewards, but along with the rewards, there was also an imperially granted marriage.

Could it be that he was looking for me to discuss how to distribute the mineral deposits? It must be a considerable income.

Jiang Youzhen was very interested. When he saw Zhou Hai pointing towards the east, he immediately understood that he was asking him to follow.

Is it necessary to be so mysterious? Jiang Youzhen just found it funny. The Second Prince had never been so cautious before.

Qing Lang drove the carriage to catch up, but this time the carriage in front was different. It did not stop in the downtown area, but got closer and closer to the city gate.

"Young Master, why do I feel something is wrong? Isn't this the direction to leave the city?" Qing Lang's puzzled voice came.

Jiang Youzhen quickly lifted the curtain and took a look. The city gate had indeed arrived in front of him, but the carriage had not stopped until it reached the city gate.

Jiang Youzhen saw a hand reaching out from the other side's carriage, probably to give some copper coins to the guards guarding the city. She had good eyesight and found that it was actually a pair of women's hands.

"Don't follow me, go back!" Jiang Youzhen said coldly.

Zhou Hai always followed the Second Prince. This time, when Zhou Hai waved at her, she mistakenly thought that it was the Second Prince looking for her, but those hands were clearly those of a woman.

Could it be that Zhou Hai betrayed the second prince and was working for someone else?

After hearing this, Qing Lang was about to turn his horse around, but the next moment Jiang Youzhen felt a strong wind coming.

She immediately turned her head and heard a "bang". A dart was stuck in the car window, and a note was pressed under the dart.
