Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories

After three months, He Lanyun's house arrest expired. He returned to his post and was very diligent, and he became much more low-key.

The concubine also took his advice and distributed porridge and cloth outside the palace, under the pretext of celebrating the New Year with the people.

The common people knew nothing of what was going on in the court, and were full of praise for the prince's favor.

In addition, three months had passed and the emperor's anger had almost subsided, so Helan Yun had recovered a little.

Only the Fourth Prince was still under house arrest. It was unknown what his mood was when he heard that Helan Yun had regained the emperor's favor.

However, Helan Cheng was no pushover for being able to compete with the crown prince. With the help of Concubine Wei in the palace and Wei Ting in the court, they finally got him released on the New Year's Eve banquet.

Of course, the only one who can make the final decision is His Majesty himself.

Before the imperial decree to lift the house arrest was announced from the palace, Helan Jue, who was the first to receive the news in the mansion, just smiled faintly and scattered some fish food into the lake.

He looked at the fishes that were scrambling to snatch the food and said nonchalantly, "He is the emperor's son after all. It is not a matter of treason. It doesn't matter. We can't really chop off his head, so let him go."

Chen Xiao looked at Helan Jue's calm expression and felt extremely angry.

The Emperor's heart is fickle. If he really cared about their prince, he would have ordered a thorough investigation of the matter long ago. Why would he really punish the Fourth Prince now?

It's just a few knocks to appease their prince!

Who wants such painless comfort?

Whoever wants it can have it!

Jiang Xu, who was fishing nearby, looked at Helan Jue and listened to what he had just said, and deduced several different meanings from it.

He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but suddenly he felt that Helan Jue was hiding something from him.

"What's wrong?" Helan Jue was very sensitive to his gaze, and the tone of his voice when he asked was very gentle, completely different from the indifference just now.

Seeing that Jiang Xu just looked at him quietly without answering, Helan Jue chuckled again: "Are these so many fish not enough for you to catch?"

Jiang Xu was so bored that he wanted to go fishing, and he insisted on learning how Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait.

How can a fish come up on a hook without bait?

King Dingbei asked Shen Xiao to fetch some fish food, and soon two red carps entered the bucket, openly helping to cheat.

Jiang Xu suppressed his thoughts, and just then the fishing rod in his hand moved. He raised his arm and the fish went into the bucket. He looked away at the water and hummed softly, "I have caught the fish I wanted most."

Helan Jue curled the corners of his lips and remained silent.

He really took the bait willingly.

"Then don't fish. One fish is enough."

Helan Jue stood up. He felt that Jiang Xu had spent enough attention and time on the fish in the water.

Leaving the mess in the pavilion to Chen Xiao to clean up, Helan Jue led people to his courtyard, "Go and try on the clothes I asked Nishang Pavilion to make for you."

Jiang Xu wanted to hold his forehead and laugh, but he felt helpless.

Helan Jue is probably addicted to a game called Jiang Xu Nuan Nuan.

Ever since he started dressing up as a man, Helan Jue wanted to make clothes for him with any good fabric he could get his hands on.

Although Helan Jue didn't say it this time, Jiang Xu could sense that Helan Jue attached great importance to the news that His Majesty was going to announce at the New Year's Eve banquet.

Not only for him, Helan Jue also made a new moon-white dress for herself that was as gorgeous as a mirror.

In Jiang Xu's opinion, this was almost an engagement party.

He thought Helan Jue was quite cute and let him do whatever he wanted.

Night fell quickly, and the two of them went to the imperial city from their respective homes.

Most of the guests at the New Year's Eve family dinner were royal relatives, and it was generally no different from previous years. The only thing that caused some discussion was the arrival of Helan Jue.

Ever since Helan Jue was injured, he hasn't attended any family dinners in the palace. No one knows what happened this year, but I only heard that he has gotten much better.

Looking at the handsome young man dressed in scarlet brocade clothes, one can't help but think of what the abbot of Lingyin Temple once said.

Could it be that the meeting between Prince Dingbei and Young Master Jiang was truly a match made in heaven, bringing prosperity to each other?

There are two other things that attract attention.

The first was Concubine Wei, who moved from the Southern Emperor's side to the two seats at the back. The Lingnan case caused her to be stripped of her title from a favored imperial concubine and demoted to a concubine.

Although he has not been reinstated yet, there is a hint of his favor being restored, otherwise His Majesty would not have released the Fourth Prince ahead of schedule, who was supposed to be under house arrest for half a year.

Looking at the queen sitting on the high throne, although she was smiling, her expression did not look very good.

The next one is naturally their son.

Neither of them got what they wanted in the Lingnan case. When they sat down at the table just now, someone heard their conversation, which was full of tension.

Looking at it carefully, this year's palace banquet is more interesting than previous years.

After the song and dance, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince each presented the New Year's Eve gifts they prepared for the Southern Emperor. The Southern Emperor was so happy that he drank more wine and was a little tipsy. He raised his hand and called for Concubine Wei who was sitting below him:

"Come, come to me."

Concubine Wei is slightly younger than the Empress and is well maintained. From a distance Jiang Xu thinks she is only about 30 years old. No wonder the Southern Emperor likes her so much.

The Queen's dignified expression was distorted for a moment as Concubine Wei changed her position, but it was far more than that.

"I think Concubine Wei has been punished for these days and has realized her faults. After all, she is the biological mother of the prince. This position is not in accordance with the rules. It is better to promote her back to the position of concubine and keep the title as it is."

Although there is only one character difference between Concubine Zhao and Concubine Zhao Gui, the difference is not much. Wei was still favored and was not affected by her status.

This is the heart of an emperor. If he wants to indulge someone, his bottom line can be stretched to infinity, but the prerequisite is that his deepest interests are not touched.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Concubine Zhao looked at the Southern Emperor with tearful eyes, very tenderly.

Helan Cheng smiled provocatively at Helan Yun from his seat as the prince.

Helan Yun seemed calm and composed, his eyes tilted towards Jiang Xu who was sitting with his family, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He was under house arrest in the past few months, and Jiang Xu never came to see him once. However, Zhong Chaoci was afraid that he would be bored, so he would come over often.

He didn't feel that he liked Jiang Xu, but there was a gap.

The tail that always followed me disappeared at some point.

The so-called heaven-sent marriage that the abbot of Lingyin Temple talked about was just a joke in Helan Yun's eyes. Not to mention Jiang Xu, the poison in Helan Jue was impossible to cure.

Even if it is delayed for many years, won't you become a useless person?

Helan Yun is now considering another question, whether or not to continue working on Jiang Xu.

He wanted financial support from the Duke of Jiang's Mansion, but this was difficult. Not to mention that the Duke of Jiang would not agree, it would be difficult for his father to agree.

Moreover, the Zhong Chaoci he has trained has now taken shape. Just as Zhong Chaoci promised when he pledged his allegiance, as long as the Prince's Mansion supports him from behind, he will create a business empire for him.

From this point of view, he doesn't have to rely on Jiang Xu, and he can even support Zhong Chaoci to become the new imperial merchant. It seems that the fourth brother will not be able to get Jiang Xu either.

Thinking of this, Helan Yun chuckled, raised his eyes to meet Helan Cheng, who was in a very good mood and enjoying the food in front of him, and smiled again, which could be said to be very friendly.

Helan Cheng frowned, his face full of confusion. He didn't know what was wrong with the prince's brain or what bad things he was planning.

"Oh, by the way, I have another announcement today."

The Southern Emperor leaned on the dragon chair and spoke nonchalantly:

"I see that the King of Dingbei looks much better today. I think it is in line with what the master of Lingyin Temple said. Since this is a match made in heaven, I cannot let down the good will of heaven. Today, I will grant the King of Dingbei and Jiang Xu a marriage. Let's pick a good day after the New Year to hold the wedding. Let the palace take care of all matters related to the wedding."

What?

The smile on Helan Yun's face froze.

The food that Helan Cheng passed to his mouth fell into the bowl.

All the royal relatives were dumbfounded.

As for Duke Jiang, Duke Jiang...

He sighed deeply.

Even though he knew this would happen, he still found it hard to accept it.

Before he gave in completely, he once asked Helan Jue if His Majesty really granted the marriage, would it mean that the Duke of Jiang's Mansion would have to side with him, the King of Dingbei.

Helan Jue said that the Duke's Mansion only needed to remain neutral. Since they were imperial merchants, they should be loyal to the emperor. There was no need to do anything more. If they had to do something, they could just show their dissatisfaction with him openly.

If Jiang Zhili hadn't blocked his son's yard and asked this question, he would be more cheerful.

It was also from that day that the Duke vaguely realized that the cabbages in his house had really been stolen.

His thoughts returned to the palace banquet in front of him. Jiang Zhili thought for a moment and frowned in confusion, which made anyone feel unhappy.

But Princess Pingyang was obviously more immersed in the acting than Jiang Zhili. She stood up from her seat and looked at the Southern Emperor with dissatisfaction: "My brother, this matter——"

Before she finished speaking, the Southern Emperor waved his hand to stop her, "This is God's will. Didn't Jiang Xu get better because of this? I see that he has changed into men's clothes again. Isn't this what you want, Pingyang?"

Princess Pingyang opened her mouth, but suddenly had nothing to say. She turned around and tried to hold down Jiang Xu, who looked very emotional.

Looking at the other side, King Dingbei was sitting in a wheelchair, drinking tea calmly, as if everything happening at the moment had nothing to do with him.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Princess Pingyang had been worried sick about her son. The abbot of Lingyin Temple once said that Jiang Xu had to marry a man in the future to suppress his fragile fate.

But that doesn't mean Princess Pingyang is willing to marry her son to Prince Dingbei, a short-lived man who is both useless and sickly, right?

Your Majesty's arranged marriage really comes out of nowhere.

Princess Pingyang, who had saved the lives of the Empress Dowager and the Queen, had such a great reputation, but even His Majesty rejected her claim. Naturally, others dared not say anything more.

As for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince who once competed for Young Master Jiang, how they felt about this matter, only they themselves knew.

The prince hid it well on his face.

The news of the marriage between Prince Dingbei and Jiang Xu spread out, and people in the streets and alleys of the capital were talking about it. No one knew what kind of marriage it was, and most people thought that His Majesty was just matching the couple up at random.

Some people also took this as inspiration, and submitted many more manuscripts to Dayan Bookstore. They wrote some niche manuscripts such as "Royal Palace Romance", which were most loved by young ladies.

Whenever a serialized novel is released by Dayan Bookstore, you can always see all kinds of maids and servants queuing up to buy it. If you come a little late and don’t get the first issue of the first serialization, you will complain.

At first, the poetry collections, prose collections, and novels such as Journey to the West and A Dream of Red Mansions published by Dayan Bookstore were already popular in the capital, and they opened several branches, and even opened branches in other prosperous capitals outside the capital, and spread throughout the country.

After that, Big Eye Bookstore came up with more and more new ideas. The boss behind the bookstore screened the manuscripts previously received and published them, creating a magazine with various stories, many of which were not yet finished.

After reading the beginning, you will want to continue following the series. If you buy the first issue, you will get the second issue as well.

Subsequently, new and interesting things emerged one after another. Dayan Bookstore placed a large wooden barrel outside the store to collect readers' opinions, and also opened up voting and reward functions.

If they like a certain novel author, they can write the author's name on the ballot included in the magazine they purchased and cast their precious vote, thereby increasing their favorite author's ranking on the Big Eye Bookstore. There is even a list of sponsors who have given them rewards.

Ordinary people naturally won't spend more money on these things, but many novel lovers are wealthy ladies from secluded families, and if they fall in love with a novel, they will spend a lot of money on rewards.

Many bookstores in Beijing were really shocked by the operation of Dayan Bookstore. They were unable to react and could only watch the popularity of the bookstore grow higher and higher.

The bosses racked their brains and gritted their teeth, but they couldn't figure out what was going on with the brain of the owner behind Dayan Bookstore and how he could come up with so many clever ideas. Even if they wanted to imitate him, it was no use.

All the books published by Renmin Dayan Bookstore are marked with anti-theft and anti-counterfeiting signs. Few people would buy pirated copies, and the prices sold by Dayan Bookstore are not expensive. Only readers who buy genuine books can participate in the interesting activities they set up. Those who spend a small amount of money to buy pirated copies cannot join in the fun.

Recently, Dayan Bookstore launched a new thing called Dayan Forum.

The bookstore has set up a huge wooden sign at the door with a white paper and a topic hung on it. Passersby who want to participate in the discussion can pick up a pen and leave their anonymous comments on the paper provided by the bookstore. They can also leave their real name or a pseudonym or nickname, it’s all up to you.

If you want your speech to be eye-catching, you can pay the staff to add it to your speech, which means that your speech can be made into a featured speech. You can ask the bookstore to carve your speech on a wooden plaque and then paint it with gold, which will make it very eye-catching.

However, you can't say anything you want. You must strictly abide by the rules posted outside Dayan Bookstore. You must not slander the country, violate the laws of the Southern Dynasty, or use bloody or violent language, or be obscene or pornographic.

Once any remarks involving the above-mentioned statements are discovered, they will be destroyed and will not be included in the Big Eyes Fun Talks compiled and published by the bookstore the next day.

In addition, users can raise topics to spark discussions, and there are new topics to talk about every day.

This new way of playing immediately attracted people from all over Beijing and set off a new wave.

The owner behind Dayan Bookstore sat at home counting money until his mouth couldn't stop.
