I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

It was almost evening when Jiang Zuo returned to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Zuo met Master Guo.

"Where's Qin Yu?"

Jiang Zuo asked anxiously.

"Miss Qin is also in the capital?"

Master Guo asked doubtfully.

Jiang Zuo asked puzzledly: "Didn't you see her today?"

Master Guo said, "No, why did she come to the capital?"

"Oh, this girl."

Jiang Zuo was really helpless.

When he didn't want to see her, Qin Yu always appeared beside Jiang Zuo. Now he had something important to see her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"No matter what, let's find her first." Jiang Zuo ordered, and then he went to look for Qin Yu in person.

It was not until the evening that Qin Yu appeared in front of Jiang Zuo.

"Where did you go so late at night?" Jiang Zuo asked with a hint of complaint.

Qin Yu said, "This capital city is indeed prosperous, and the night market is quite lively. I am just strolling around."

Jiang Zuo frowned and said, "I have found a new place for you. If you want to continue staying in the capital, then move in."

Qin Yu shook his head: "Don't bother me so much, I'll live next to you, don't worry, I will never bother you again before you promise me."

Having said that, Qin Yu returned to the room.

"It's not a question of whether to disturb or not..."

Jiang Zuo wanted to say something, but Qin Yu had already closed the door.

The night was hazy.

The next day, early morning.

Jiang Zuo woke up early, walked to Qin Yu's room and knocked on the door.

After a while, Qin Yu finally opened the door, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zuo said: "You go out this afternoon. I have some official business to attend to. There may be many people coming to the mansion. Can you avoid them when the time comes?"

"Okay." Qin Yu answered softly, continued to close the door, and went back to bed to sleep.

"Does she agree to this?"

Jiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Qin Yu and the empress cannot meet, all problems can be solved.

With some trepidation, Jiang Zuo began to decorate the backyard garden.

Since Chen Qingyun took the initiative to say that he wanted to come this time, Jiang Zuo must have made some special preparations.

Today, Master Guo put down his business in the store and came here to help.

"Sir, how come you are so leisurely and elegant today that you even ask me to help you?" Master Guo asked puzzledly.

"Don't ask anything, just continue." Jiang Zuo was worried.

After a while, Master Guo said, "Sir, I will order someone to bring those green bamboos here."

After a while, Jiang Zuo was the only one left in the garden.

Jiang Zuo calmed down a little and wandered in the garden.

At this time, a servant came up behind Jiang Zuo and said, "Sir, the emperor has arrived."

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo was shocked, his face full of surprise: "You're here so soon?!"

Chen Qingyun had clearly said that he would come in the afternoon, but he didn't expect a surprise attack.

Jiang Zuo was a little flustered at this moment. After all, Qin Yu was still in the mansion and had not left. It was very likely that he would run into Chen Qingyun.

What to do about these.

But Jiang Zuo no longer had any time to think, because Chen Qingyun had already appeared in front of Jiang Zuo.

Today's empress is wearing a purple and white long dress, her temperament is quite elegant.

He was followed by several palace maids and guards, and they came in front of Jiang Zuo at the same time.

Jiang Zuo had no intention of appreciating Chen Qingyun's beauty. He forced himself to calm down, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

Chen Qingyun said lightly, and then looked around.

The Jiangnan-style garden in front of him was indeed unique and made Chen Qingyun feel quite relaxed.

"Is this the Jiangnan garden carefully built by Prime Minister Jiang? Not bad, very artistic." Chen Qingyun couldn't help but admire.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Jiang Zuo lowered his head and said.

After this sentence, the two fell silent, looking at each other from time to time.

At this moment, I heard footsteps behind me. It was Master Guo coming over.

The first moment he arrived at the garden, Master Guo noticed Chen Qingyun and immediately said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this Miss Chen? What a coincidence! Our master has been looking for you for a month, please come in!"

"Master Guo, long time no see." The smile on Chen Qingyun's face was quite kind, without the usual seriousness of the empress.

When in Anding County, Chen Qingyun had interactions with Master Guo. Master Guo, who was a close confidant of Jiang Zuo, often delivered messages for Jiang Zuo.

When meeting Chen Qingyun again this time, Master Guo seemed much more excited than Jiang Zuo at the beginning.

The most important point is that Master Guo had no idea that the woman in front of him would actually be the current empress.

In the eyes of Master Guo, Chen Qingyun is still regarded as Jiang Zuo's ideal person.

"Lord Jiang, you and Miss Chen are really destined to meet. I didn't expect that we would still meet again after a month." Master Guo said with a naive smile.

But at this moment, Jiang Zuo had no smile on his face. He just nodded and said, "Yes."

Master Guo turned his head again and said, "Miss Chen, you may not know that the first thing Lord Jiang did when he came to the capital was to propose to you, Miss Chen. He even made it very grand, but it was a pity that he was not able to find Miss Chen right away. Now, Lord Jiang, your chance has come."

"is it?"

Chen Qingyun had a faint smile on his face and turned to look at Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo was already sweating profusely at this moment, and he quickly said, "Master, you go and get busy first."

"No hurry, we haven't seen each other for a long time, of course we need to catch up."

Chen Qingyun said.

Seeing Jiang Zuo so nervous, Chen Qingyun found it interesting.

Master Guo said, "Yes, I don't have anything to do today. Since Miss Chen is here, why don't I prepare some wine so that you can have a good chat with Miss Chen."

Jiang Zuo said: "Aren't your family members coming to the capital today? Go and greet them."

"It doesn't matter, my wife hasn't arrived yet..." Master Guo said, and when he looked at Jiang Zuo, he saw a slightly strange look from the latter.

"What's the matter, sir?" Master Guo was quite confused.

"It's okay, Master Guo, just continue talking." Chen Qingyun remained calm.

Master Guo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jiang Zuo meant, and continued, "Our Lord Jiang previously served the court and had to go south to the Kingdom of Chen, which is why he was separated from Miss Chen for so long. But Miss Chen, don't worry, our Lord Jiang has always been thinking about Miss Chen and has often mentioned her to me."

“There is such a thing.”

Chen Qingyun still had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Jiang Zuo.

Master Guo said, "It's all true. The reason why Lord Jiang came to the capital so late is because the emperor issued various imperial edicts, which made Lord Jiang unable to spare time."

Hearing the word "Emperor", Chen Qingyun looked indifferent. He turned his head and winked at his confidant behind him, indicating that it was okay.

Watching Master Guo talking nonstop, Jiang Zuo was already sweating profusely, not knowing whether to feel helpless or panicked...
