The next day.

Jia Yun entered the Imperial Guard's office as usual. Not long after he sat down, Li Guobang walked up with a smile on his face. When he saw him, he said politely: "I've met you, sir."

Jia Yun nodded and agreed, saying, "Deputy Counselor Li is here, sit down!"

Li Guobang responded, turned his eyes, and immediately congratulated: "I heard that your Excellency will take over the leadership of the capital soon, and because of the great favor of the Supreme Emperor, he has been recruited as his consort. This is a double blessing. I am here to congratulate you."

With that said, Li Guobang took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, handed it over with a smile, and said: "This is a little thought from brothers, please accept it."

Jia Yun raised his eyes and looked at the stack of silver notes, which he estimated to be between forty and fifty thousand taels. This Li Guobang really spent a lot of money! I'm afraid it's not just as simple as congratulations!

"Deputy Counselor Li, I have not yet taken over the leadership of the capital, and the recruitment of my consort has not yet been confirmed. This congratulation is indeed a little early!"

Although Jia Yun said this, it was basically a done deal. Although the emperor had not issued an explicit edict regarding the Beijing camp, Emperor Chongming did not rebel, and the officials were vague. Not only that, the Daming Palace was

Bian didn't say much, he was basically sure of everything.

As for the recruitment of the consort, the matter was rumored in the palace yesterday. The royal family did not clarify it. Now that the news has spread outside the palace, how can the royal family take it back? This does not damage the royal face, so the matter of the consort is also confirmed.

Come down.

Li Guobang is also a seasoned person. How could he not see the situation clearly? After hearing Jia Yun's polite words, Li Guobang said: "Your Excellency, you are so powerful and your Majesty is so important. It is only a matter of time. I will congratulate you in advance. I wish you all the best."

Your blessing."

Seeing Li Guobang's flattery, Jia Yun had a slight guess in his mind. It was estimated that Li Guobang was on good terms with Jia Yun, and secondly, he might have set his sights on the position of the Chief of the Archguard Division.

If Jia Yun takes over the leadership of the capital, the position of the Chief of the Archguard Division will definitely be vacant. At this time, it is Li Guobang's opportunity. After all, Jia Yun is favored by the Holy Spirit. If he recommends him, he will have a greater chance of success.

Don't underestimate the status of the Chief of the Guards Department. After all, he is the head of the Emperor's Guards. Even the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government must greet him when they meet. This is a symbol of status.

Jia Yun thoughtfully pushed the banknote back and said, "I'm not in a hurry. If I wait until the matter is settled, I'll come back to congratulate you. You are the Queen of Dinghai, and you are also from our Wuxun family. Why do you need to be so polite?"

.”

Li Guobang was startled when he heard this. They were indeed all descendants of Wu Xun, but Jia Yun had never said such words in front of them before!

Although he didn't understand Jia Yun's meaning, since he said that he was from the same lineage of martial arts, it was naturally a close word. However, Jia Yun refused his kindness, which made him confused, so Li Guobang said: "My lord said that.

Yes, it is my subordinate Meng Lang, but this is all the wishes of the brothers, please accept it."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Don't rush for a while. If there is a happy event in my official residence in the future, it will not be too late to accept it."

Li Guobang also understood after hearing this. He had been working with Jia Yun for a long time. He knew that Jia Yun acted cautiously and guessed that he had seen his intentions and did not want to get involved in this matter. However, Jia Yun's words also showed that he was willing to do so.

Being close to him as a member of the martial arts lineage...

Seeing Jia Yun's refusal, Li Guobang angrily took the banknote back.

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Deputy Counselor Li, there is no need to be impatient. You are also diligent in your work. His Majesty sees it. You will definitely be able to show your talents in the future."

There is nothing wrong with what Jia Yun said. Although Li Guobang was a bit flattery, it was normal. In the officialdom, no one wanted to climb up. Even Jia Yun was not like this. In front of Emperor Chongming, Jia Yun's

I'm no stranger to flattery. The key lies in whether I can handle the job effectively and whether I stand upright. This is the key.

When Li Guobang heard this, he understood in his heart and said, "Then I will accept your good advice."

Jia Yun smiled and immediately said: "Today I am inspecting the palace, so I would like to trouble Deputy Counselor Li to take it. I still have some official business to deal with."

Li Guobang responded when he heard the words, and immediately turned around to run his errands...

.............

At three o'clock in the morning, Jia Yun stayed in the Imperial Guard for a whole day. Although there was an uproar in the palace, Jia Yun remained unmoved and continued to deal with his own affairs as usual. After staying for a long time, he returned to the palace.

Here, acting like this, it seems like nothing happened.

In the three-room building of Duke Ning's Mansion, as soon as Jia Yun entered the front hall, Qingwen and Xiangling greeted him and saluted him.

Qingwen was wearing a peach red flowered gown and a plain velvet vest with gold thread, and underneath was a cherry red wild goose feather skirt with a low bottom. Xiangling was dressed similarly to Qingwen, except that instead of peach red, she was dressed in azure blue.

The two of them are naturally very good-looking, and when dressed like this, they look as fresh and delicate as the ladies in the painting.

Although it was a bit out of line and not a maid's dress, Jia Yun didn't care about it, so the people below naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Moreover, as far as Jia Yun knew, their luggage was given to them by Daiyu.

It's just that these two girls are a little abnormal today. In the past, when they saw Jia Yun returning home, they would always look happy, especially Qingwen, who had the corners of her mouth raised, her mouth was full of words, and her voice was very crooked.

"What happened? Why are you so embarrassed?" Jia Yun sat on the main seat and asked.

Qingwen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said "hum", with a strange and indifferent look on her face, lowered her eyes, and said seriously: "I'm joking, I'm just a maid, how can I show my face to the master?"

.”

Listening to Qingwen's words, Jia Yun couldn't help but frowned, but thinking that the little girl was his own, it didn't matter, so he calmly said: "You girl, you are so evil for no reason, how dare you live in love.

Come on, have you become temperamental?"

"Pfft."

Xiang Ling, who had a sullen face, couldn't help laughing. Qingwen's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she glanced at Jia Yun. Fortunately, Jia Yun could say what day it was.

Seeing Xiang Ling's uncontrollable laughter, Qingwen stretched out her hand and pinched Xiang Ling's soft flesh, and said angrily: "You little hooves, we agreed before, but you rebelled in the blink of an eye. You are really a heartless seed.

.”

Xiangling let out a cry of pain. It was clear that Qingwen's subordinates did not pay attention to the rules. However, Xiangling did not care about this and quickly defended: "I didn't rebel, so don't talk nonsense."

Jia Yun frowned when he saw Qingwen. Although he doted on Qingwen, he also loved Xiangling. On weekdays, Qingwen only wanted to get some limelight with her words, but he was not in the mood to do anything.

And when Jia Yun heard what the two said about rebellion, Jia Yun even had a dark look on his face, so Jia Yun said solemnly: "Qingwen, don't bully Xiang Ling. You are talking about rebellion but not rebellion. You are talking nonsense."

Qingwen listened to Jia Yun's reprimanding words, gritted her teeth and said: "What nonsense did you say? I have left Miss Lin aside, and I don't want us to say a few words of complaint."

After hearing what Qingwen said about leaving Miss Lin aside, Jia Yun also came to his senses, guessing that the news that Jia Yun was going to marry Princess Leping had spread in the house.

But this is normal. Since Jia Yun greeted Jia Mu yesterday, it was not a big deal if it was spread. Not to mention the Jia Mansion, people in other mansions must have heard the news.

Looking at Qingwen with raised eyes and Xiangling who was silent, Jia Yun also understood that these two girls were complaining about Daiyu, and it was not in vain that Daiyu treated them so kindly...

...

With a chuckle, Jia Yun said: "Qingwen, Xiangling, don't pay attention to these things. The marriage of the princess is decided by the Supreme Emperor. There is nothing I can do about it. I just need to be more careful in handling errands in the future."

Qingwen and Xiangling went to see Daiyu today, and Daiyu naturally told them the same thing, but Qingwen felt even more angry when she heard Daiyu say good things for Jia Yun. Miss Lin is such a good person.

My son is the master of the house.

"Anyway, I only recognize Miss Lin in my heart. I don't care about her wealth and wealth." Qingwen said with a cold snort.

Jia Yun's face darkened when he heard this. Jia Yun had always been tolerant of Qingwen's nonsense. After all, he was his pillow. He always tried his best to serve him, so he always had to treat Qingwen's little temper.

, Jia Yun just laughed it off. Even if Qingwen said that Jia Yun had no conscience, she was still complaining about Daiyu. Why should Jia Yun blame such a maid who has kindness in her heart?

However, Qingwen said that she only recognized Daiyu as her master, so where did this put the princess? If the princess cares about her, Qingwen will have nothing to gain, and sooner or later she will cause a big disaster.

"Qingwen, you are becoming more and more arrogant. You don't want to stay in the house anymore. I will help you." Jia Yun said lightly.

Qingwen's face turned pale when she heard this, and tears rolled down her cheeks in the blink of an eye. She stared at Jia Yun and said in disbelief: "Are you going to drive me away?"

Jia Yun was unmoved and said in a deep voice: "Since you only recognize Aunt Lin as your master, what are you doing in this house?"

Qingwen's face turned even paler, as if Jia Yun was really planning to drive her away, Qingwen stared at Jia Yun with tears in her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Xiangling hurriedly stepped forward and begged for mercy: "Sir, Qingwen is such a nonsense person. You also know her temper, please spare her this time!"

Jia Yun looked at Qingwen and snorted coldly: "It's okay to mess around on weekdays, but you can also mess around with things like this. The princess is a golden branch, and even I have to respect her. Who do you think you are, and you dare to talk nonsense?"

, I asked you to study and understand things, and you have become like this. If I continue to spoil you, I will cause a huge disaster sooner or later."

Seeing that Jia Yun's tone had softened, Xiangling hurriedly pulled Qingwen's sleeve corner and signaled her to quickly say a few words to admit her mistake. But what kind of temperament did Qingwen have? How could she accept what she thought was right?

Ignoring Xiang Ling's reminder, he stood up and looked at Jia Yun.

Seeing that Qingwen was still so stubborn, Jia Yun's face darkened even more. He could pamper Qingwen, but he had to recognize his mistakes, so Jia Yun shouted loudly: "Qingwen, kneel down."

Qingwen raised her face and looked at Jia Yun. Seeing Jia Yun's cold expression, Qingwen could only cry and bend her knees.

Seeing Qingwen kneeling honestly on the ground, Jia Yun felt relieved a little. If Qingwen was still so stubborn, even if Jia Yun liked Qingwen again, he would not tolerate her...
