Why hasn't His Highness written a letter of divorce?

Jiang Qingning said in her heart that he was very resentful, obviously it was Xiao Che who had been reluctant to let him go, why now it seemed that he was holding back and wanted to stay overnight?

No matter how much Jiang Qingning complained in her heart, she could only say with a groveling look on her face: "I don't have it, I don't, my majesty, please don't mess around... think."

"Lonely thoughts?" Xiao Che asked in a cold voice.

Jiang Qingning looked up at Xiao Che, but saw Xiao Che's expression was cold, as if he really didn't want to see him again, with a bored look on his face, he said: "You go."

"Wei." Seeing this, Jiang Qingning didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said, "I will leave."

He backed away quickly.

On the way back, it was already dark, and Jiang Qingning was sitting in the carriage, upset.

Today he saw with his own eyes that Xiao Che's leg recovered very well, so he felt relieved.

As for the relationship between him and Xiao Che, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, Xiao Che obviously had no friendship with him, he only hoped to maintain the relationship between the two of them as monarch and minister.

According to Jiang Qingning's own expectations, he hoped that he would be sent to work outside Chang'an, but now everything is obviously not according to his wish, he was appointed editor of the Imperial Academy, although it is a humble official position, but he still wants to stay in Chang'an In the middle of the night, I have to go to the morning court every day.

In fact, he himself was fine with this, but he was worried about Xiao Che, and Xiao Che would probably be very upset if he saw him every day in the future.

"It must be because there are no other suitable vacancies in the court for a while, so His Majesty has to let me stay in Chang'an." Jiang Qingning said with a sigh.

Little Chopsticks froze for a moment before realizing what Jiang Qingning was talking about, and asked curiously, "Ah Ning, don't you want to stay in Chang'an?"

To tell the truth, Jiang Qingning really didn't want to, he knew that he couldn't let Xiao Che go, it was good that he couldn't see Xiao Che in Wudi before, but when he met now, the original feelings surged again.

But he also knew that there was no chance between him and Xiao Che, the only way was to keep him far away from Xiao Che, so that he would not feel too uncomfortable, but now...

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing." Jiang Qingning said sadly.

From now on, he will not only pay homage to Xiao Che every day, but also hear about a new beauty in Xiao Che's palace, and which concubine of his recently gave birth to a prince.

When Jiang Qingning thought of this, she felt sore.

There is no possibility between him and Xiao Che, but he can't control his own heart.

Jiang Qingning lamented along the way.

When he returned to the inn, Li Boxu was waiting for him outside his room.

Jiang Qingning was a little surprised and asked, "Brother Li, why haven't you slept yet?"

Li Boxu asked him with a curious look: "I heard that you went to the palace today for a face-off, why did you come back?"

Jiang Qingning didn't want to tell Li Boxu about Xiao Che's delay in seeing him, delay in letting him go, and in the end he felt that he was holding on to his refusal to leave, so she evaded the seriousness and replied lightly: "I am indeed going to the palace today to meet His Majesty. , should be going to take office tomorrow.”

"So fast?" Li Boxu asked in surprise, "I wanted you to accompany me to see the house tomorrow."

"Brother Li, are you planning to buy a house in Chang'an?" Jiang Qingning asked.

Li Boxu nodded: "I plan to stay in Chang'an, find another gentleman to study hard, and take the imperial examination again in three years."

Jiang Qingning had heard Li Boxu mention it before, and knew that his family was well-off, so she was not surprised that he suddenly wanted to buy a house in Chang'an, and agreed with him: "That's fine."

Li Boxu knew that Jiang Qingning was going to take office tomorrow, so it seemed that he couldn't accompany him to see the mansion, so he had to go to see it alone, so he didn't force others, and said, "Brother Jiang, rest early and wait for my mansion." After everything is settled here, please invite Brother Jiang to come to my humble house as a guest."

Jiang Qingning nodded: "Okay, I will definitely come when the time comes."

After seeing off Li Boxu, Jiang Qingning began to prepare for tomorrow's appointment and relocation.

In the early morning of the second day, someone came to pick him up to take up his post, and arranged all his things, saying that they would all be moved to the new residence for him today.

Jiang Qingning told some of them to move their things there, but not to move the others, and then went to work in a carriage.

Before the court, many officials recognized him as the number one scholar in Xinzhong, and came to meet him one after another. Jiang Qingning also responded enthusiastically, and soon became acquainted with him.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Your Majesty is coming!"

The officials immediately stood up, looking obediently waiting.

When Jiang Qingning first entered the court, her official position was low, so she naturally stood far behind Xiao Che.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"All the gentlemen are flat."

Xiao Che glanced down coldly.

Jiang Qingning lowered her head, feeling that a line of sight seemed to be on her, but when she was about to raise her head, that line of sight had already moved away.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" Han Yun who was next to Xiao Che said loudly.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have something to play." It was Zhang Chenglin, the prime minister at the time, who came forward and said.

Xiao Che said: "Prime Minister, please tell me."

Jiang Qingning lowered his head and listened to their performance quietly. He didn't dare to look up at Xiao Che until he retreated, for fear of seeing Xiao Che's cold and bored eyes.

Now that he can't go to work outside Chang'an, Jiang Qingning thinks that he can just do his own job in Chang'an. His official position is also a relatively leisurely position, and he doesn't participate much in the court.

After retiring from the court, Jiang Qingning was going to the Hanlin Academy when someone behind him grabbed his official uniform by the shoulders.

The other party was very strong, and Jiang Qingning was caught instantly and couldn't move. He frowned and looked back, unexpectedly seeing the face of King Qi Xiaoli.

"Your Majesty... I will see His Royal Highness King Qi." In Jiang Qingning's impression, Xiao Li was still a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, but now he has reached the crown, a full head taller than Jiang Qingning.

Xiao Li looked him up and down, and said in disbelief: "I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect that you, the ugly monster, really came back."

Jiang Qingning: "..." He thought that Xiao Li's mouth would be more human-speaking than before when he grew up, but he didn't expect that he still had such a cheap mouth.

But who made him just a small editor of the Hanlin Academy now, and Xiao Li is the prince, Jiang Qingning could only swallow his anger and say: "Long time no see, Your Highness, you have grown a lot taller."

Xiao Li obviously didn't accept his feelings, and said in a cold tone: "Didn't you leave, what are you doing back?"

Jiang Qingning knew that Xiao Li had always admired Xiao Che, and his sudden departure back then not only made Xiao Che hate him, but also made Xiao Li hate him very much.

When asked about this matter, he felt wronged for a while, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

Xiao Li remembered the sufferings his sixth brother had suffered back then, and hated Jiang Qingning so much that he really hated Jiang Qingning, and warned him: "You can just come back, but don't think about anything else, if I let this king know, I will definitely not let you go."

Jiang Qingning said in a low voice: "Your officer, please remember."

Xiao Li let him go and left in front of him.

Looking at Xiao Li's back, Jiang Qingning felt indescribable for a while.He didn't blame Xiao Li. From Xiao Li's point of view, Xiao Li should really hate him, but if he had to choose again, he would still choose to leave.

"A-Ning, you are too soft-hearted." The little chopsticks suddenly spoke up, holding up the grievances for Jiang Qingning, "His Highness Ninth speaks so badly, why don't you ask His Highness Ninth's broken sleeve, and he has forced a person into a fool? About the monk?"

Jiang Qingning: "..."

After the meeting, Jiang Qingning explained with a smile: "A gentleman never reveals the shortcomings of others."

Although he has always been curious about this matter, but this matter is Xiao Li's personal privacy after all, no matter how angry he gets, he can't reveal this matter.

Little Chopsticks obviously still couldn't understand, and said a little indignantly: "But how can he expose your shortcomings, Aning?"

Jiang Qingning explained again: "Because I really shouldn't come back."

When he left back then, he didn't know if Xiao Che's old illness had relapsed, did he vomit a lot of blood?How did you recover?And Xiao Che's legs... What kind of pain did Xiao Che go through back then to be able to stand up?

He shouldn't have come back to appear in front of Xiao Che, but returned to Chang'an to fulfill a wish, he really deserves to be scolded.

Jiang Qingning worked in the Imperial Academy for a day, and after getting acquainted with other colleagues who also served in the Imperial Academy, he returned to his new residence at night.

According to Jiang Qingning's instructions, the servants who helped him pack up didn't dare to unpack his bags.

Jiang Qingning didn't even let Si Wu touch it. He asked Si Wu to go down to rest first, and he unpacked the bag and packed it slowly.

Two paintings, a cloak, and a jade pendant, these are Jiang Qingning's most precious possessions. He tidied them up carefully and locked them before letting others in.

On the second day, Jiang Qingning asked someone to invite a housekeeper to the mansion, and he left it to the housekeeper to arrange all the affairs in the mansion, while Jiang Qingning himself went to work in the Imperial Academy with peace of mind.

The daily meeting between him and Xiao Che was limited to the morning court, Jiang Qingning didn't dare to see Xiao Che more, and Xiao Che never paid much attention to him.

Jiang Qingning thought that this could last for a long time, and everything would be fine when he left Chang'an after his official position was transferred.

But he didn't expect that at this moment something unexpected happened to him - the ninth prince Xiao Li was going to get married.

Jiang Qingning often ran into Xiao Li every day after going down to court, but she didn't notice any happy look on Xiao Li's face about the upcoming wedding.

Although Xiao Li's age has indeed reached the time to get married, Jiang Qingning is still surprised.

On the wedding day, not only all the officials in Chang'an City would go to Xiao Li's mansion to congratulate, even Xiao Che would show up.

Jiang Qingning took Siwu and the housekeeper to prepare congratulatory gifts early this day, and went to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Xiao Li's concubine, he thought it must be the jewel in the palm of an official in the court, but he didn't expect that the concubine did not marry from another mansion, but was in Prince Qi's mansion herself.

"I heard that Princess Qi was originally just a tea seller, but perhaps she is very beautiful, that's why she was able to attract the attention of King Qi." Master Taishi Ling Xu said in a low voice.

"But I heard that Princess Qi is average in appearance, and she is not very outstanding." Another official, Mrs. Li, muttered.

It seems that Xiao Li, the king of Qi, married a woman of unknown origin as his concubine. This incident has aroused many people's discussions.

And Jiang Qingning remembered again, he had heard about Xiao Li's broken sleeve.

But Jiang Qingning himself is not a person who likes to probe into other people's privacy, so he didn't speculate on this matter.

During the dinner, Jiang Qingning suddenly felt chills all over his body. He couldn't help drinking some wine to warm up his body, but today he didn't know why. After drinking the wine, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

In order not to affect other people's interest in the banquet, Jiang Qingning got up and left, and went to a quiet place in Prince Qi's mansion.

"What's wrong with you, my lord?" Si Wu followed, seeing Jiang Qingning's distressed expression, he said nervously and fearfully.

Jiang Qingning waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, go and get me some warm water, I'll drink a little and I'll be fine."

"Yes, my lord." Little Si Wu hurriedly ran to find warm water for Jiang Qingning.

Jiang Qingning had never felt uncomfortable in his stomach before, and today he didn't know if it was because the wine in Prince Qi's mansion was too strong, but he actually felt a throbbing pain in his stomach. The pain caused him to bend down and lean on a tree.

After a while, he heard footsteps behind him. He thought it was Si Wu who came back, but when he turned around, he saw a familiar and nervous face.

"Why did Mr. Jiang come here? Is it because the crowded place makes you feel uncomfortable?" Xiao Che asked him coldly.

"Wei Chen..." Jiang Qingning gasped in pain, forced herself to salute, "See Your Majesty."

Xiao Che looked at him kneeling on the ground, his face suddenly became colder than before, and after a while, he said coldly: "Normal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Qingning tried to stand up, but there was no support point in front of him for him to stand up, and his body suddenly wobbled and was about to fall.

Jiang Qingning thought that she was going to make a fool of herself in front of Xiao Che, and he would look like a dog eating shit when he fell, but at this moment Xiao Che's long and strong fingers suddenly supported him.

Jiang Qingning raised her head and said gratefully: "I thank His Majesty for helping me, I can't repay you..."

Only then did Xiao Che notice the sweat on his head, and asked him with a frown: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Qingning continued what he said before: "There is nothing to repay, but to give your Majesty a few more years of loyalty."

Xiao Che stretched out his hand to pick him up, only to realize when Jiang Qingning had become so thin. With a light wrap of his wrist, he wrapped his arms around his waist.

Jiang Qingning's waist was suddenly touched by someone, his whole body tensed up uncomfortably, trying to push Xiao Che away, and said: "Your Majesty...you respect yourself."

Xiao Che's other hand had already reached his forehead, touched it, but it wasn't hot.

Jiang Qingning thought to himself that he was feeling sick in his stomach and not having a fever, and of course his forehead wouldn't be hot, but he didn't want Xiao Che to know, so he just said: "I'm fine, Your Majesty, you should go back quickly, you will disappear at the banquet, I will definitely let you know." Everyone is in a hurry."

Xiao Che looked at his pale face, seemed to be struggling a bit, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up."

Jiang Qingning: "..."

Xiao Che picked him up horizontally, and when he sent him to be treated, he still did not forget to stab him: "A majestic man, why is he not as good as a woman now, so delicate?"

Jiang Qingning: "..." He said in his heart that he is not squeamish, really, he can climb back by himself without being held by anyone.

Jiang Qingning tentatively said: "Your Majesty...the minister...the minister can go by himself."

But Xiao Che asked him coldly: "Do you want to crawl back by yourself?"

Jiang Qingning thought for a while, blushed and said, "Your Majesty should hold her."
