Chapter 248 Auspicious day for getting married!
Although Jiang Qi had already made up his mind, his indifferent eyes still showed that he only found the information revealed by Jiang Yu interesting, and nothing else.
Jiang Yi was shocked after hearing what Jiang Qi said, but then he thought that Jiang Jin was now a useless person who could not walk and take care of himself, and was no longer the high-ranking young general. Only then did he calm down and looked at Jiang Yu who was panicking because of such a small matter, and said sarcastically.
"What do you mean, Seventh Brother? Even though Mu Jiaojiao has a close relationship with the Divine Doctor Valley, Sixth Brother is a cripple who can't walk. The rule of Dayu since ancient times is that those with disabilities cannot become emperors. What are you afraid of, Seventh Brother?"
"If you ask me, Seventh Brother, please don't scare yourself here. Just in case you get scared to death one day and bring shame to our royal family!"
After hearing Jiang Yi's unscrupulous ridicule, Jiang Yu's face flashed with anger. He clenched his fists, suppressed the anger rising in his heart, calmed his breath, and then explained to Jiang Yi, who had been spoiled by the virtuous concubine and had no brains.
"Eighth brother, don't forget. Sixth brother is indeed not allowed to sit on the throne, but he is raising the two sons of the deceased eldest brother. Father also asked Sixth brother to register them under the name of Prince Jin's Mansion. He is a legitimate young prince!"
Jiang Ping now regrets inviting Jiang Yi over. He is just a brainless playboy who comes here to make people angry for no reason!
Although Jiang Yi was raised by Concubine Xian to be ambitious but incompetent and not willing to use his brain, he was, after all, someone who came out of the big melting pot of the palace, and he was not really stupid. After hearing what Jiang Ping said, Ye figured out the key.
So he put away his contemptuous attitude and thought that if this future Sixth Sister-in-law was really valued so much by the Divine Doctor Valley, and if Sixth Brother really had other thoughts in the future, it would be a big trouble.
The three of them fell into silence for a moment, with only the gurgling sound of cooking wine coming from the stove.
At this moment, Jiang Qi looked at his two younger brothers who were younger than him but also very graceful, and spoke thoughtfully.
"I wonder if my two royal brothers have noticed that over the past year or so, there have been constant disturbances in the court, but as one side gains strength while the other loses strength."
"My second brother was exiled from Yudu and now lives in the barren land of Linzhou. My seventh brother was also implicated and no longer favored by our father. He is now unemployed in the palace. Although my eighth brother has entered the court, he does not hold any real power...
It seems like there is a hand in the dark, controlling us from behind, making us brothers maintain our balance while weakening each other."
When Jiang Yi and Jiang Yu heard Jiang Qi's words, they thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, the worse their expressions became.
Jiang Qi was right. If they counted carefully, none of their brothers had gained any benefits. Of course, except for their fourth brother Jiang Qi, whose mother's family, the Song family, gained a little power because of the Cangzhou iron mine incident, and their mother Song Xiangling was promoted from a concubine to a concubine. No other family could dominate the power.
After being reminded of this, Jiang Ping had already figured things out in his mind. There must be someone manipulating the situation behind the scenes!
Who is it? Who is benefiting?
Fourth brother Jiang Qi? Sixth brother Jiang Jin? Eighth brother? And... that almighty father?
"So, isn't Fourth Brother the biggest suspect behind this?"
Jiang Yi didn't expect it to be so profound. From the surface, Jiang Qi is the biggest suspect now!
When Jiang Qi heard this, he almost vomited blood. If his eighth brother didn't have a mother who took care of him in everything, he didn't know whether he could grow up safely in the palace!
"That's all! I've said what I needed to say, and heard what I needed to hear. I have things to do in my mansion, so I'll take my leave now, my two younger brothers."
Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Ping lost in thought, then at Jiang Yi who looked nonchalant, and didn't want to continue chatting. Anyway, he had achieved his goal, at least he had planted a seed of doubt in the two of them, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"Tsk! Pretend!"
Sitting next to the wine stove, Jiang Yi, who was always arrogant, looked at the back of his fourth brother Jiang Qi and said something with disdain.
Jiang Yu glanced at him vaguely without saying a word.
Seeing his timid look, Jiang Yi also felt depressed. He drank the wine in the glass in his hand, stood up, shook his brocade robe, and walked away with big strides.
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Yi's high-spirited back, a hint of viciousness flashed across his calm face, and his eyes flickered with ambiguous meaning.
This Jiang Yi is his target today. After all, Fourth Brother is really too shrewd...
Jiang Yi, ah Jiang Yi, become the knife in my hand!
Who made you look down on me!
We are both sons of the emperor, so why do you think you are superior to him? Why do you look down on him?

The fifth day of May is an auspicious day for getting married!
Around the end of the Yin hour that day, Mu Jiaojiao was pulled out of the quilt by Huaizhu. She was helped to wash her face, and then she sat in front of the blurry dressing mirror in a daze, and was forced to put on makeup and tie her hair.
By the time Mu Jiaojiao finally woke up, it was already the end of the Mao hour or the beginning of the Chen hour, which is around seven o'clock in modern times.
At that time, Mu Jiaojiao looked at herself in the mirror. She had her hair tied up in a high bun and wore a phoenix crown on her head. The tassels of the phoenix-winged hairpins on both sides were slightly drooping. A blooming red plum blossom was adorned on her forehead. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains. A thin layer of rouge on her fair skin made her cheeks look rosy. Her red lips were painted with bright and fiery lip balm, making her look bright and flamboyant.
She wore a flowing cloud wedding gown that resembled a blazing sky, embellished with rice-sized South China pearls. The flowing cloud yarn embroidered belt around her waist perfectly outlined her delicate, slender waist that could be held in one hand. Mu Jiaojiao looked at herself in the mirror, her lips curled up, and she was incredibly beautiful.
"My dear Princess, you are like a fairy from heaven!"
The matchmaker who was waiting by the side to help her with her makeup exclaimed in amazement, saying, "Princess Jin is truly the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"Hehe... I can't help but feel jealous when I see the princess. How can anyone be so charming and alluring? If she gets married, she'll make all the flowers pale in comparison."
Looking at Mu Jiaojiao's profile, Huaizhu couldn't help drooling, and his expression was even more exaggerated and terrifying.
"loquacious!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the girl, reached out and pinched her pretty face, and scolded her.
This girl is becoming more and more bold. In the final analysis, she has become lawless because of her pampering.
"Princess, I made some lotus seed cakes. Please fill your stomach first. You will have a lot of hard work later."
Amidst the laughter and playfulness of the crowd, Chang Le walked in with a plate of steaming lotus seed cake and spoke to Mu Jiaojiao, who was sitting upright, with a happy expression on his face.
"Chang Le still knows how to care for others!"
Mu Jiaojiao took the piece of cake she handed over, with a smile on her face, and said with a smile as she looked at Chang Le who was wearing pink.
