Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Li Longye finally stopped smiling and said, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Feng was helpless: "When you deal with me, you use threats and pity, and you use military tactics smoothly, but why can't you deal with others!"

Li Longye stroked her long black hair and explained, "Ah Feng, your story of nine sons competing for the throne has made father very worried. He is now afraid that his son will repeat the same mistake. At this critical juncture, Third Brother...does not agree to act rashly."

Jiang Feng stopped talking.

Li Longye said, "I now have to follow the orders of the Crown Prince. Even though I am a prince, I cannot protect you. I have no choice but to ask you to serve your aunt and copy these useless scriptures."

Jiang Feng rubbed his shoulders and said, "If I could hold a pen with my right hand, I could copy it a hundred times without any problem."

Li Longye felt guilty again, and he rubbed her arm, saying, "If I were the master, I think no one would be able to embarrass you."

Jiang Feng sneered and said, "What do you mean by respect? Even if you become the emperor, there will naturally be a queen to control me."

Li Longye kept his grip on her and said, "Then I will make you the queen. When you become the most noble woman, you will be the only one who embarrasses others."

Jiang Feng thought he was joking and said, "I am now the concubine of Prince Xue, and I am already in trouble. If you become the emperor, I must be alive."

Li Longye didn't say anything.

Jiang Feng noticed something strange and turned around.

He was in a serious mood.

Jiang Feng was shocked and asked, "You are not serious?"

Li Longye forced a smile and said, "I'm seriously thinking about how to protect you and make you happy and comfortable without being embarrassed by others."

Jiang Feng was relieved, pointed at the half-copied scripture, and said: "Now there is a solution, you can discuss with the queen and skip copying the book. Or, you can help me copy the rest."

Li Longye smiled and said, "Aunt is the most respected one. I dare not disobey her. Xiao Wang should just copy the book obediently."

As he said this, he actually started copying it seriously.

Jiang Feng didn't hesitate and sat in the rocking chair in front of the table, fanning himself and eating watermelon, feeling very comfortable.

To Li Longye, this scene looked very familiar.

In the garden in Liangzhou, she was like this, eating watermelon and reciting doggerel.

That was also the day he kissed her for the first time.

It has been out of control ever since.

Her red lips and pearly teeth, and the watermelon she had eaten, made the kiss sweet and alluring, leaving him with a lingering aftertaste.

Li Longye was in a trance for a moment, unable to control his emotions, and the ink stained the paper.

He had no choice but to change the paper and rewrite it.

After Jiang Feng finished copying the scriptures, Princess Taiping asked her to serve her as usual.

It's fine for others too.

Only when Cui Shi came, Princess Taiping deliberately asked the two of them to stay away.

According to unreliable sources, after punishing Jiang Feng that day, Princess Taiping also severely punished Cui Shi.

No one knows what the two talked about on the bed, but Cui Shi was hit on the head with a cup by Princess Taiping and kicked off the bed.

Therefore, Princess Taiping forgave Jiang Feng and also spared Cui Shi.

It is understandable that the two are not allowed to meet. After all, dog-eat-dog is quite annoying.

Jiang Feng spent a whole summer at Princess Taiping's side and discovered that the fight between the princess and the prince was just a fight over people, money, and soldiers.

The cake is so small that the interests of both parties will naturally increase or decrease.

The so-called zero-sum game.

Li Longji's side was not aggressive in matters of people and money, and they were basically controlled by Princess Taiping's forces.

But in terms of military strength in Chang'an City, Li Longji refused to give in, and the two sides were evenly matched.

In fact, at the beginning, Princess Taiping also had an absolute advantage in military strength.

The four guards of the Northern Yamen were all in the hands of Princess Taiping.

More than half of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court are Princess Taiping's men.

The only troops Li Longji could mobilize were those of Liu Nezhi and Wang Maozhong.

But after Li Longji transferred Gao Hui to the Shenwu Army, Gao Hui's control of the Shenwu Army was equivalent to tearing a hole in Princess Taiping's iron-clad Four Guards of the Northern Yamen.

Although Li Longji was still at a disadvantage, the situation was much better than before.

Under such circumstances, Princess Taiping did not fight back. She only symbolically agreed with Cui Shi's opinion and placed Dou Ding in charge.

This is totally inconsistent with Princess Taiping's style. She will fight for every inch of land.

When something goes wrong, there must be something fishy.

But Jiang Feng couldn't figure out what was so strange.

It was not until Li Longye came up the mountain to see her again that Jiang Feng expressed her doubts.

Li Longye didn't take it seriously. He knocked her head and said, "What? Do you still want your aunt to fight you with real swords and guns before you give up?"

Jiang Feng always felt something was wrong.

Li Longye didn't give her a chance to think and wanted to take her down the mountain.

Jiang Feng then realized that the second summer since she came to Chang'an was gone again.

When Princess Taiping saw that Li Longye came to the mountain to pick her up in person, she had no choice but to advance her return to Chang'an by two days. She followed Li Longye back to Chang'an in a grand manner.

Jiang Feng returned to the Jiang Mansion. Everything in the mansion was the same as before, except that her mother was gone.

When she was alive, she managed the whole family and was relied upon by everyone. But after her death, it seemed that she had little impact on anyone.

She was sitting in the chair that Jiang's mother often sat in, lost in thought, when Jiang Zuo walked in.

It's not completely without impact.

At least, Jiang Zuo needs to observe mourning.

Jiang Zuo was also moved by the scene and was silent for a long time before he said, "When mother was alive, she was always worried about you. She didn't want you to marry the prince the most."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "My mother and I were enemies in our previous life. So in this life, we have never thought of going together."

Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Carry the coffin back to Liangzhou, and cousin Yuanhe came to pay tribute to mother. This time I saw him and realized that mother...has indeed arranged a good family for you."

Jiang Feng thought of the dispute he had with his mother because of Wen Yuanhe, and his heart felt choked up and he couldn't breathe for a while.

Jiang Zuo added, "A few days ago, Prince Xue came to visit my father and said that the sixth day of August was a good day and he wanted to come over to propose marriage."

Jiang Feng said: "Father must be very happy."

Jiang Zuo said: "Living in Luoyang, her status is equivalent to that of a princess. In my father's eyes, it is also a good marriage. Don't blame him."

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded.

Jiang Zuo said again: "Brother, today, I ask you again, are you willing to marry Prince Xue? If you regret it, it's not too late now."

Jiang Feng chuckled, but there were tears in his eyes.

She said, "You all asked me one by one if I regretted it. It's as if I'm not getting married, but rather entering a disaster."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he stood up, wiped his tears, and smiled again.

She said, "Brother, the road is made by walking, and the life is lived well. The prince treats me with deep affection, and I am willing to give it my all."
