Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

Xing Xiaoya was brought into the palace by Princess Zhaoyang. After the news came out, the entire circle of noble ladies in Wangjing was in an uproar.

A commoner girl was also able to enter the palace, and together with Princess Zhaoyang, she was kept overnight in the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager.

Not to mention common women, even ordinary noble ladies do not have such an honor.

Everyone was discussing who this Miss Xing was and how she could have received such grace.

Although the Queen Mother doted on Princess Zhaoyang, it was simply unreasonable to bring a village woman into the palace to stay overnight. Princess Zhaoyang couldn't get away with it by just begging and pleading. It must have been approved by a big shot.

Everyone guessed that this important person was the Queen Mother. They thought that Xing Xiaoya was pretty and the Queen Mother was old enough to enjoy her grandchildren, so they thought she would like such a beautiful girl. But in fact, it was the Emperor who nodded his head.

While Xing Xiaoya was socializing in the harem, the Jiang family members were also busy.

Jiang Chengli listened to what Xu Wanying said to the system that day and took it to heart.

The Jiang family held a meeting overnight. Except for Xu Wanying who was sleeping soundly in her room, everyone else gathered in Shoukang Garden. Men, women, young and old all gathered together to discuss the future plans for the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion.

After a few words, the young women left, leaving only Cen Ying and the men of the Jiang family.

"The man above is in good health. We in the Jiang family should be loyal subjects and not choose sides in advance." Marquis Zhongyi spoke first. He raised his thumb, hinting at the emperor.

"But the situation is pressing and we have to take sides. If it is really as the artifact said, and the Third Prince marries Xing Xiaoya and then successfully ascends the throne, then our Jianghou Mansion will enter the gate of the underworld. Who do you think is suitable among the princes now?" He raised the question first.

The Jiang brothers looked at each other and said nothing.

If this matter of seizing the throne is not handled well, the entire nine generations of the clan will be executed. That means the heads of the entire family are tied to the belt. Who would dare to speak rashly?

"Second brother, you speak first." Marquis Zhongyi called out directly.

Jiang Chengxiao pointed at himself and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Dad, according to the order, no matter from oldest to youngest or from youngest to oldest, it won't be my turn to be the first. My eldest brother is standing next to me. If you don't let him speak, what should I say? You can't be partial. Besides, I just came back from another place and don't understand the situation in Beijing--"

The first thing he said was excuses. It wasn't that he was cunning, but he really didn't dare to make a choice easily.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Marquis Zhongyi.

"Stop talking nonsense. How long have you been in Kyoto? Ever since you became impotent, you've been looking for secret recipes to restore your virility. You must have searched the entire Wangjingdu. You know the most information and you usually have a lot of ideas. I'll let you speak first. Anyway, the final decision was made by everyone. Whether it's right or wrong, it can't be blamed on one person. The whole family will bear the responsibility together."

Jiang Chengxiao pursed his lips, his face a little embarrassed: "No, Dad, Mom is still here, why are you telling me everything? When I was looking for the secret recipe, I went to every nook and cranny, and found all kinds of people. Most of what I learned were trivial matters, which would not be of any help to Jackie Chan."

The Loyal Marquis was impatient to listen to his nonsense and said unhappily, "Tsk, haven't you recovered your masculinity yet? Why are you so cautious? You are really not a man at all."

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't stand such a squeeze, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll go first and throw out some ideas. At present, it seems that the Sixth Prince has the best chance of winning."

"His mother, the Imperial Concubine, is favored, and he has powerful relatives. Although the Sixth Prince is naughty, he is quite intelligent and has a good sense of right and wrong. With the assistance of wise ministers, he will be able to maintain the status quo."

He expressed his opinion first. Although it sounded like he was speaking casually, the reasons he gave were very sufficient and he took all aspects into consideration.

Although the Jiang family had no choice but to choose sides in advance, they would not joke with the country, at least they would not push a tyrant to the throne.

The Marquis of Zhongyi nodded without commenting, then pointed at Jiang Chengzhong and said, "Boss, it's your turn."

"If I were to choose, I would choose the second prince. He is very powerful in the army. He has five years of experience and has won several battles. The Huainan Army and the Shubei Army, in particular, are all convinced by him and can be said to be completely under his control. As the saying goes, he who has the bigger fist has the final say. Once he gains control of the military power, even if his name is not on the final edict, he can still turn the tide and push him to the throne." Jiang Chengzhong did not refuse and spoke directly.

After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence, and no one dared to speak for a while.

After a long while, Jiang Chengxiao patted his chest and rolled his eyes, saying, "Brother, you really are a man who would shock the world if you did not make a sound. The last sentence was simply terrifying. We are taking sides, not really rebelling."

The meaning of Jiang Chengzhong's words was concise and to the point. The second prince held military power. Even if the emperor did not pass the throne to him, he could lead his army to kill through Wangjing, rebel and ascend the throne.

"Xiao Si, what do you think?" Marquis Zhongyi looked at his youngest son who was recognized.

Jiang Chengyi had been listening with his ears perked up, and when his name was suddenly called, he was a little panicked.

"Dad, my brothers have been working in the court. I am neither good at literature nor martial arts, and I don't know anything about the princes. I'd better not say anything to avoid making a fool of myself." He scratched his head, obviously at a loss.

"It is precisely because they are all in the imperial court that they are more easily confused. Moreover, this concerns the future of the entire family. You are a member of it. Speak boldly. You should speak freely in front of your family."

Cen Ying, who had been silent, couldn't help but say a few words of encouragement.

Jiang Chengyi felt warm at heart when he heard this. After all, when he was at the Wei family before, he didn't dare to express any opinions at all. Even if he didn't say anything, he would be scolded, which made him timid.

Now that I'm back in the Marquis' Mansion, I feel at home.

"When I was at the Wei family before, Wei Xian highly praised the Seventh Prince, saying that although the Seventh Prince was young, he could recite poems and compose couplets at the age of three and could speak fluently at the age of six. He was the reincarnation of a child prodigy and would become a great man in the future. But I think he is too young, and the power behind him is weak. I am afraid that promoting him as a child prodigy is just a diversion. Like my eldest brother, I also think that the Second Prince is more capable."

After being encouraged, he suddenly became bolder, and he cleverly combined the information he had heard before, made an understanding and analysis, and finally came up with his own point of view. It was obvious that he was not a stupid person.

"You are right. Half a year ago, the Seventh Prince was in the limelight, but he has been silent in the past three months and has been on vacation one after another. I guess he has health problems, and it is not certain whether he can survive this." Marquis Zhongyi patted him on the shoulder and gave him affirmation.

"Third brother, let me let you speak for the last time. Your situation is special, and you should know more than us." Marquis Zhongyi threw the question to Jiang Chengli.

"What I said may not be right. Our Jiang family has never been able to get to this point before. We have always followed Xing Xiaoya. How about Dad tell us about it?" Jiang Chengli was a little hesitant at this moment.

He has always been a decisive person, but the experience of the past 100 lives was really a blow to him.

Now that he has finally walked a different path in this life, he has become cautious instead. He is afraid that if he makes the wrong choice, he will lose everything.

Marquis Zhongyi shook his head and said, "Dad is old now. Now the world belongs to you young people. This time it is up to you to choose. If you win, you will rise to prominence. If you lose, don't be afraid. As long as the family leaves together, we won't be afraid of being bullied by ghosts."

Although these words are very sad, they are still full of freedom after he said them.
