After the palace examination, Emperor Zhengde took Jiang Jingqiao and Manchu Wenwu to watch the martial arts contest outside the Jinluan Hall.

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Ninglang with great interest. In his previous life, because Huang Jue's son cheated and stabbed Zhao Ninglang's arm, he was not eligible for the champion of martial arts, but now he should win the championship in one fell swoop.

Just when she was full of confidence, Zhao Ninglang was kicked off the stage by a thin man.

Jiang Jingqiao stood up in shock, and looked at Zhao Ninglang who was lying on the ground in disbelief.

Kang Wang saw that Jiang Jingqiao was so nervous about the Zhao brothers, he couldn't help but frowned, his cold eyes were full of suspicion, he glanced at the ugly Jiang Jingqiao and said, "Seventeen, there are winners and losers in the martial arts test, why are you so excited?" Besides, with fists and feet without eyes, it is inevitable for Zhao Ninglang to suffer some slight injuries, Princess Jing will surely understand."

Jiang Jingqiao's face became even uglier when he heard the words, and seeing that Zhao Ninglang stood up without any serious problems, he sat back down with a cold face and said, "Fifth Brother really knows how to joke, who cares if Zhao Qingzhi forgives you or not, I don't want to There is a quarrel with the Zhao family."

When Kang Wang heard this, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment. If he said it was for marrying Zhao Ziyou in the future, he could say it, but he always felt that something was wrong.

After Jiang Jingqiao finished speaking, he didn't talk to Kang Wang again. When he was depressed, he glanced at Zhao Ninglang, and found that this kid was actually smiling?Can you still laugh if you are not in the top three?

Jiang Jingqiao narrowed his eyes, if this is the usual Zhao Ninglang, wouldn't he be annoyed to death when he was kicked off the stage? ? ?There's definitely something quirky about it.

Kang Wang cast a glance at Jiang Jingqiao, then shifted his gaze to the stage. Seeing that his man kicked his opponent off the stage with a roundabout kick, he couldn't help but frowned. Come out on top, right?

When Emperor Zhengde saw that the martial arts competition was over, he waved his hand and asked Jiang Jingqiao to take the ranking. Jiang Jingqiao glared at Zhao Ninglang after tying the red silk on the three tripod armor for the martial arts test.

Zhao Ninglang stood up straight without changing his face.

"Congratulations, I was born as a second-class Jinshi." Jiang Jingqiao said in a steady voice.

Zhao Ninglang quickly cupped his fists and said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing Zhao Ninglang's beaming look, Jiang Jingqiao was annoyed, and whispered, "Do you think this king is really congratulating you?"

"Otherwise, Your Highness?" Zhao Ninglang raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Ninglang with a cold face. Thinking about her imperial brother's appointment as Sanding Jia on the spot and going to the border of Beizhao, she vomited blood. In her previous life, she won a big battle with Beizhao. In two years, she will definitely help him replace Liu Jie, Marshal Liu, and he is not afraid that Kang Wang will be thinking about Liu Jie's military power all day long.But who ever thought that Zhao Ninglang would never be defeated.

"My king asks you, did you lose on purpose?" Jiang Jingqiao asked in a low voice.

Zhao Ninglang laughed and said, "Your highness has to go down and ask the concubine."

Jiang Jingqiao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered that Director Wu was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver iced watermelons before the martial arts test, and when he walked to Zhao Ninglang's side, his whisk fell off. send word.

Jiang Jingqiao was furious, if Zhao Ninglang's skills were not as good as others, she would admit it, but the key is to hold back her own people.

Kang Wang watched his men win the champion of martial arts, stood up triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Seventeen, it's time for Sanding Jia to parade in the street, and the martial arts scholars should also leave the palace. If you don't want to part with your uncle, there will be plenty of them tomorrow." It's time to catch up."

Jiang Jingqiao gritted her teeth, then raised her smiling face, walked up the stone steps slowly, and said with a smile: "Little sister was happy for a while, and she talked too much. I didn't expect that the Zhao family could produce generals after experiencing a generation of frail officials. Although he is a second-class, But it can be regarded as much better than his parents."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengde glanced at Zhao Dongxi who was standing in the third row, and coughed a few times.

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Emperor Zhengde, saw that Emperor Zhengde's eyes drifted towards Zhao Dongxi who was full of embarrassment, he couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his nose, well, he said bad things about his father-in-law in person.

Emperor Zhengde shook his head helplessly and said: "You are fine here, go to the Longevity Palace to pay your respects to your mother."

Jiang Jingqiao wanted to leave at first, but when he heard the words, he took advantage of his heart and hurriedly said: "Here, sister-in-law, please leave!"

Kang Wang watched Jiang Jingqiao leave, and gradually narrowed his eyes. Jiang Jingqiao was sometimes real and sometimes false, and he was confused. This Jiang Jingqiao must have no intentions. Why does he always feel that Jiang Jingqiao is a different person recently?

Jiang Jingqiao strode towards the Longevity Palace, and after entering, she found that her mother and Zhao Qingzhi were not there, so she stopped a little maid.

"Where are the queen mother and princess?"

"Return to His Royal Highness King Jing, Concubine Shu had a miscarriage just now, the Queen Mother and Princess Jing went to visit."

"Miscarriage?" Jiang Jingqiao frowned, "When did you get pregnant?"

"The slave does not know."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao waved her hand to let the little maid go down, walked to the couch and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, Xu Yier didn't look like she was pregnant when she was in the temple, her belly was not big.

Just when Jiang Jingqiao was puzzled, the queen mother's voice came from outside the hall, and Jiang Jingqiao got up quickly to greet her.

"Mother."

"The front hall is over?" The Queen Mother's voice was flat, and her expression was a little uneasy.

Jiang Jingqiao glanced at Zhao Qingzhi, suppressed the injustice in his heart and said, "It's all over."

"That's good, Ai's family is exhausted, you should go back early." The queen mother sat on the couch and said while holding her forehead.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingqiao said worriedly: "Mother, why are you uncomfortable here?"

"Ai's family feels uncomfortable, just lost a little granddaughter." The Empress Dowager looked sad.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao remembered her childhood relationship with Xu Yi'er, and said worriedly: "Mother, is Concubine Shu all right?"

"I asked the imperial doctor to see her. She is fine, but something is wrong with this." The queen mother rubbed her temples and said.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Jiang Jingqiao asked.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhi raised her hand to hold Jiang Jingqiao's arm and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is tired, let the Queen Mother rest well, let's go back home first."

"That's right, Ai's family is going to rest for a while, you can kneel down." The queen mother said and stretched out her hand, and Chang Le hurriedly helped her in.

Jiang Jingqiao glanced at Zhao Qingzhi, snorted softly, turned around and strode out.

"Your Highness, wait for the concubine." Zhao Qingzhi hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness looks a bit unhappy. After the concubine left, which minister did His Highness get angry with in the previous court?"

Jiang Jingqiao stopped when he heard the words, turned to look at Zhao Qingzhi and said, "The minister didn't give me anger, but you, what did you ask Director Wu to do?"

Zhao Qingzhi laughed and said: "Your Highness overestimates the concubine, Director Wu is a capable person around the Queen Mother, can the concubine handle it?"

"I don't care about that, I just ask you, did you give him the idea of ​​your second brother's intentional defeat?" Jiang Jingqiao looked into Zhao Qingzhi's eyes and asked very seriously.

Zhao Qingzhi heard the words and said calmly: "Yes, but it's not an idea."

"Scared." Jiang Jingqiao turned around and left, letting Zhao Qingzhi follow behind holding her skirt resentfully.

Jiang Jingqiao walked all the way to the outside of the Jinluan Hall, and saw that the three tripod armors of the martial arts test had been given armor, and he saw that he was about to go to the battlefield, so he stopped, and after Zhao Qingzhi caught up, he said: "You see, you two If brother is one of the top three tripods, he can go to the border of Beizhao to make meritorious service."

Zhao Qingzhi laughed when she heard that, Jiang Jingqiao had quite a clear memory of her previous life.

In the previous life, her second brother did make meritorious service on the battlefield of Dongzhao and was promoted to an official position, but Liu Jie was jealous and could not learn actual combat skills from him. It is better to wait until the battle of the Western Regions in the spring of next year. Loyal, brave and old, his second brother may be able to take over the position of Marshal Lu when he resigns and returns home.

"Your Highness, both the Queen Mother and the concubines feel that it is better to put the second brother in Marshal Lu's barracks. Marshal Lu is not as jealous as Marshal Liu."

When Jiang Jingqiao heard the words, she suddenly remembered the battle in the Western Regions. The two contrasts did go to Marshal Lu's camp to train people, but she urgently needed someone to enter Liu Jie's camp to contain Liu Jie.

"Pretending to be smart." Jiang Jingqiao strode out.

Zhao Qingzhi smiled and followed, took Jiang Jingqiao's arm and said, "Your Highness is so eager to send the concubine's second elder brother to Beizhao, is it because you are worried about Marshal Liu?"

Jiang Jingqiao stopped, looked at Zhao Qingzhi in a daze, and then said helplessly, "Marshal Liu can see that there is something wrong with him, but just because his daughter has contacts with King Kang, he can't make it clear for the emperor to reduce Liu Jie's military power. , do you know that you ruined this king's important business?"

"Your Highness, if Marshal Liu has a different intention and wants to rebel, where will the army pass?" Zhao Qingzhi looked at Jiang Jingqiao with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao said angrily, "We can only go through Xifengkou."

"Then how long will Marshal Lu lead his troops to Xifengkou?" Zhao Qingzhi hooked Jiang Jingqiao's little finger and blinked.

Jiang Jingqiao was taken aback, Liu and Lu were one to the north and the other to the northwest. If Liu Jie wanted to fight back to the capital and there was only Xifengkou, he would be intercepted by Marshal Lu's troops. If Zhao Ninglang could become a general of the army , can indeed contain Liu Jie, at least make Liu Jie fearful and dare not act rashly.

Zhao Qingzhi approached with a smile and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother praised her courtiers and concubines for being smart, what does Your Highness think?"

Jiang Jingqiao blushed, took a step back and said, "Whether you are smart or you are mistaken by cleverness, it depends on whether your second brother can make a contribution in the battle of the Western Regions. If your second brother is just talking about war on paper, you can fight well." What's the use of being nice?"

Jiang Jingqiao glanced at Zhao Qingzhi, her face was cold, but she was extremely happy in her heart. It is indeed better for Zhao Ninglang to go to the Army than to go to Liu Jun. Going to Liu Jun is to be controlled, and going to the Army is to restrain Liu Jie. She never thought of it before What a great idea.

"Your Highness is really stingy." Zhao Qingzhi let go of Jiang Jingqiao's hand, pretending to be angry and said, "If Your Highness thinks that my concubine is acting smart, then I will just say less."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao cleared his throat, touched Zhao Qingzhi's shoulder and said, "Even if you have a good idea, it's just that you can discuss it with me next time."

"I thought of this when I was chatting with the Empress Dowager in the Longevity Palace. It is not easy for the Empress Dowager to get Director Wu to send a letter to my second brother. Please take care of the matter urgently." Zhao Qingzhi smiled and saluted Jiang Jingqiao Fu.

The corners of Jiang Jingqiao's mouth turned up unconsciously, but he felt that he was losing face, so he said, "Okay, let's get up, let's go back to the house and talk about it." After Jiang Jingqiao finished speaking, he strode forward.

Looking at Jiang Jingqiao's awkward look, Zhao Qingzhi felt it was funny. In his previous life, Jiang Jingqiao wasn't such an awkward character. He didn't know how obedient she was to her.In the previous life, it was Jiang Jingqiao who coaxed her a lot. In this life, it's okay for her to coax Jiang Jingqiao a few more times. It feels pretty good.
