Wealth and glory seek stability

Jian Xi turned around and explained, "Your Majesty is going to appoint me as the Minister of Agriculture."

She was very careful with her choice of words.

Zhang Ge looked at her strangely, and Jian Xi thought she had said something wrong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ge was stunned for just a moment, then bowed and said, "Congratulations, sir. The position of Minister of Agriculture has been vacant for a long time. I wish you great success."

Although she felt strange, Jian Xi still responded with a smile, "Thank you, General."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Jian Xi decided to ask Zhang Cen'er the reason after she got back. She would not allow any detail to be overlooked.

She doesn't have a huge network of connections here, and carefulness and prudence are her amulets.

Zhang Ge didn't continue talking along the way, and Jian Xi felt even more weird.

"Thank you, General."

Jian Xi got off the carriage gracefully and turned around to thank him.

"My lord, you're welcome."

"drive!"

The carriage drove away.

Jane Xi listened to the sound of the carriage gradually going away, and the smile she had been forcing finally fell.

His face was so stiff.

He stretched out his right hand, and Chu Lu stepped forward to support him with great tact.

With her other hand, she held up the hem of her dress and walked up the stairs step by step.

Princess Jiahe’s mansion is very big.

Zhang Ge sent her to the main gate. The east courtyard where she lived was two miles away from the main gate.

.....

"Madam, how about I ask the butler to send a sedan chair over?" Chu Lu suggested kindly.

Jian Xi said sincerely: "Go quickly and come back soon."

She really didn't want to walk anymore.

While they were waiting, Yinping and a group of eight people who looked very luxurious came towards Jian Xi.

The top of the sedan chair is yellow, and the handrails are gilded with phoenix patterns.

Yinping walked forward with a smile, "Madam, our princess invites you, please get on the sedan chair."

The servants who carried the sedan chair cleared a path for Jian Xi to go up and knelt respectfully on both sides.

Jian Xi looked at the sedan chair with two steps, which was covered with white, shiny animal fur. The hollow design underneath was the same as the small couch she had seen in the warm room of the royal court. The small copper stove was filled with high-quality charcoal.

Unable to resist the temptation, Jian Xi walked towards the sedan chair and sat down.

It was soft, and there must be some cushioning underneath the fur, which gave off a faint warmth mixed with a pleasant pine scent.

Seeing this, Yinping covered Jian Xi's legs with the thin blanket in her hand and adjusted the goose down backrest behind her.

"rise!"

The sedan chair carried by eight people was incredibly stable.

Jian Xi suddenly remembered——

"By the way, have someone tell Chu Lu not to let that girl make a wasted trip."

"Yes." Yinping casually sent a servant to inform Chu Lu.

The design has a panoramic view on all sides. Jian Xi sat at the highest point, watching the snow falling all around her, quickly falling to the ground and disappearing immediately.

The temperature here was not high, but there was no snow on the ground. She was puzzled.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

At this moment, all she could see was the heavy snow falling all over the sky.

As expected of a princess's mansion, the scenery along the way was different. It was the first time that Jian Xi saw the princess's mansion when she was sitting on the sedan chair.

Although it is in the north, there are many exotic flowers and plants in the princess's mansion, and the buildings of different styles look solemn and dignified.

I didn't see many people along the way, but when I passed by the garden, I saw two little maids standing by the pond feeding the fish from afar.

"Yinping, what does the princess want to call me for?"

Yin Ping's eyes dodged, "I don't know either."

Jian Xi sighed. It happened again.

In fact, she really didn't like such sudden surprises.

"Then just tell me whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." Yin Ping was extremely grateful at this moment that she had not offended Jian Xi to death before, otherwise, with Jian Xi's status beside Zhang Cen'er, she would be in big trouble if she just said a few words to him.

"It is naturally a great thing that the princess summoned my wife."

It’s a good thing, a very good thing.

Jian Xi searched carefully for the details in her mind, but couldn't guess it.

I can't figure it out, so I stopped thinking about it. I'll know it sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to worry about it.

Zhang Cen'er's main hall was actually farther away than her eastern courtyard.

It took the group a full half hour to arrive.

Jian Xi was sitting on the sedan chair, drowsy.

Yinping gently tapped the side of the sedan chair, and Jian Xi suddenly came to consciousness. In the blink of an eye, she saw a white and gold building that towered into the sky.

"Madam, we have arrived at the main hall."

Jian Xi shook her head and entered the inner hall with the help of Yin Ping.

It was very quiet inside, and Zhang Cen'er was sitting in the main hall with an angry look on his face.

At the head of the group were the Emperor's husband Ruan Chizheng and the Grand Princess Zhang Lan'er.

"Cen'er, as a princess, you should shoulder the responsibility of reproducing offspring for the royal family. Since the witch doctor said that you are not pregnant, then I will make the decision and choose a husband for you."

As he said this, he asked the man opposite him who was covered with a purple veil to remove his veil.

The five people have very different styles, some are cold, some are seductive, some are generous, some are gentle, and some are lively. The only thing they have in common is that they are tall and have stunning looks.

Ruan Chizheng raised his hand and pointed at the five men in front of him, "These are the men I selected from the clan. Take a look and see if you like any of them. If you think they are not suitable to be your principal husbands, you can keep one or two of them as concubines in the mansion."

Zhang Cen'er clenched his fists, a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes, "I don't need it."

Zhang Lan'er was a little dissatisfied. "Sixth sister, this is what the mother wants. Father and I are just following it. It's okay or not, just pick one. Otherwise, if the mother gets angry and punishes you, you and I won't be able to bear it."

"I said, no need."

Jian Xi walked outside step by step, listening to the quarrel coming from the hall.

He turned his head and looked at the screen with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm suitable for this kind of occasion?"

I want to run as soon as I lift my leg.

Unexpectedly, Yinping shouted at the top of her voice: "Princess, Madam Jian Xi is here."

The moment Jian Xi took a step forward, she felt a little awkward. She didn't know whether to walk or not, and was caught in a dilemma.

Zhang Cen'er's loud voice came from the inner hall, "Since you are here, come in."

Come on.

I can't leave now.

I took one look at the screen and felt like crying but had no tears.

Jian Xi went in anyway.

Once inside.

The golden decorations and colorful crystal ornaments inside almost dazzled her eyes.

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze blowing in your face.

It was impossible to count how many kinds of spices were mixed in it. After Jane Xi became pregnant, her nose became more sensitive than that of normal people. She couldn't help but sneeze delicately while covering her nose.

"Meet the Emperor and the Princess."

Jian Xi bent her knees slightly and saluted.

Ruan Chi was fully focused on the task assigned to him by Zhang Qiao and had no intention of pointing out Jian Xi's minor etiquette mistakes. He just nodded slightly.

"Cen'er, His Majesty didn't force you to choose a legal husband, why are you so stubborn?"

Zhang Cen'er secretly complained in her heart. If it wasn't for Zhang Qiao's intention, Ruan Chizheng's arrogant attitude would probably make him never set foot in her princess mansion in his lifetime.
