Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

Chu Yan left.

After Jiang Qing said that he would never set foot in the imperial city again, he seemed to remember something, and got up and left without agreeing to Jiang Qing's cooperation.

Not even a word was left.

Jiang Qing leisurely ate Chu Yan's favorite pastries.

The red date cake tasted so sweet that it was a bit greasy, so she poured herself a cup of cold tea to rinse her mouth.

Chu Yan likes to eat these things?

It looks cold, but it turns out that I actually like to eat this kind of sweets.

At night, Meng Kuo once again secretly entered Jiang Qing's bedroom.

At this time, Jiang Qing was sitting in front of a bronze mirror combing her long hair. In order to wait for Chu Yan to come, she got up early today, but she didn't expect Chu Yan to come until almost afternoon, so she took off her gold hairpins and silver jewelry early and planned to go to bed early tonight.

Knowing that Meng Kuo would most likely come, she just let her hair down.

"Princess, Lord Lin said that he hopes you.... hope you can make the Regent let down his guard."

In fact, Jiang Qing still hasn't seen Meng Kuo's face clearly, and he doesn't know if it has anything to do with the fact that he is a secret guard.

"I know it."

"What happens after that? You don't want me to kill anyone, do you?"

Jiang Qing lowered his voice when he said the following sentence, but it still sounded sharp.

Meng Kuo quickly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Qing. If it weren't for Jiang Qing's extraordinary five senses, he would definitely not have been able to catch it.

"I dare not!" But this was probably not his intention. He paused for a moment, "But for the sake of the Jiang family, the princess may have to..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but Jiang Qing understood what he meant.

Her face was as cold as ice as she turned around to look at Meng Kuo who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up."

"The princess is so noble, Meng Kuo dare not."

"Now that the Jiang Kingdom has long been destroyed, this princess is no longer counted."

Jiang Qing stood up and wanted to get closer to Meng Kuo to help him up.

Meng Kuo quickly took a step back and stood up, but he didn't dare to look at her, with his brows lowered.

It's a face that is inconspicuous in the crowd.

"Chun Lan is my personal maid. She has now been sent to the laundry department. Please help me go and see her."

"The minister obeys the order."

Meng Kuo clasped his hands together, accepted the order, and left, just like last night.

Jiang Qing walked quietly towards the window. It was dark at night, and the tall city walls and green trees almost covered most of the sky, making it difficult to see clearly.

In the original world line, Meng Kuo was too loyal and trusted Lin Shao too much, and finally Jiang Qing's plan failed and he died tragically. He was also pushed out to take the blame for Lin Shao and other eunuchs. She had to make him understand before Lin Shao brainwashed him that he could only obey the royal family and not ignore everything for the sake of revitalizing the Jiang Kingdom.

Because Jiang Qing slept very soundly that night, she did not notice Chu Yan quietly appearing beside her bed. Her cold peach blossom eyes stared at the sword in her hand that had killed countless people. The sword tip, which was cold because of its bloodthirstiness, hung at her neck for a long time without leaving.

But in the end Chu Yan sheathed his sword. He really wanted Jiang Qing to die on the spot, but...

After a while, he calmed down and left.

Jiang Qing slept until noon, and before she could wash up, she heard a eunuch come to report that the regent had lifted Jiang Qing's house arrest and allowed her to move around in the harem.

She knew that this meant Chu Yan agreed to cooperate with her.

So the first thing Jiang Qing did after regaining his freedom was to send someone to bring Chun Lan back from the laundry department, but he was told that Chun Lan was not allowed to leave the laundry department without necessary matters.

There was no other reason. It must be Chu Yan's order. He just gave her a little freedom, and he was really unwilling to give in for the rest.

She had no choice but to give up and set out to meet the newly enthroned Empress Dowager Shu.

Rather than calling her the empress dowager, it would be more accurate to say that she was a move made by Chu Yan to control the court. She was the biological mother of the young emperor and was originally of little influence in the Chu family. Now she has transformed herself into a respected empress dowager thanks to the fact that she had never bullied Chu Yan in the past.

It's just an empty title, without any power at all.

"Changning has met the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Shu was young and had a pretty face. Only after she put on the empress dowager's clothes did she look more imposing.

"Princess please get up."

"Is the Queen Mother well these days?"

"I usually stay in the palace, and from time to time I take the emperor and the tutor to class together."

After several conversations, Empress Dowager Shu's originally somewhat nervous mood eased.

She was indeed a simple-minded woman, and therefore she was often looked down upon by other female members of the Chu family. This situation made her not treat Chu Yan like she did with other people when she saw him, but instead comforted him softly with a few words.

It was these two unintentional actions that allowed her to sit on the throne of Queen Mother today.

Jiang Qing also had a purpose for coming here this time. Soon the palace would hold a flower-viewing banquet. The wives of officials and girls of marriageable age would enter the palace. Chu Yan and some important officials would also attend. She had to see Chu Yan again and do a little of Lin Shao's task by the way to let Lin Shao see her sincerity.

But now the excuse of the treasure trove has been used, and the cooperation has been preliminarily achieved. If Chu Yan doesn't come to see her, she will never be able to see this powerful regent.

What's more, her current status is awkward. It is a great blessing for a princess of the previous dynasty to be able to move freely in the palace. If she wants to attend the flower-viewing banquet, she has to find another way.

In fact, Jiang Qing really couldn't say anything good. In the previous world, she had been pampered since she was a child and never had to consider anyone's face. Now in this palace, everything was bound by rules. She could only put away her original sharp-tongued personality and become a sweet-mouthed person who was full of compliments.

Of course, Xiao Qi's help is indispensable here. At this moment, it truly shares the same brain with Jiang Qing. It says one thing and Jiang Qing says another.

For several days in a row, Jiang Qing went to Empress Dowager Shu's palace to pay his respects, and with Xiao Qi's collection of common flattering quotes, he directly won over Empress Dowager Shu.

Although Empress Dowager Shu had no real power, she still had the title of empress dowager, so she could still make some harmless decisions.

That night, Chu Yan sent off the last minister in the imperial study. The guard beside him, Du Shan, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Shu wants to agree to take Princess Changning to the flower-viewing banquet in two days, and has sent someone to ask you if you agree."

Chu Yan had not eaten yet tonight. He sat down at the dining table and used bamboo chopsticks to pick up the red date cake that the imperial kitchen had heated up for him and put it into his mouth without saying a word.

Du Shan had no choice but to bow and stay where he was.

After eating a piece of red date cake, Chu Yan showed a satisfied expression, which was very rare.

"If she wants to go, let her go."

It won't cause any waves anyway.

He gave a shallow sneer, "If we ask the princess of the previous dynasty to attend the flower viewing banquet, she will be the only one who will be embarrassed."

"The Chu family has earned the good reputation."

He put down the bamboo chopsticks and tapped the food table lightly with the jade ring on his thumb.

The flower-viewing banquet was coming soon two days later. Jiang Qing had no new clothes to wear, so she just picked up a light purple brocade palace skirt with dark flower embroidery, and tied a simple single bun on her head with a corresponding hairpin.

Jiang Qing's appearance at the flower-viewing banquet caused quite a stir. People outside the palace had only heard that Jiang Qing had been released from house arrest, but they had never imagined that she would be able to curry favor with the new queen dowager in just a few days and coax her into bringing her to the flower-viewing banquet.

"A remnant of the previous dynasty! I really don't know why the regent spared her life!"

The one who spoke was Chu Baiwei. She naturally had not forgotten the slap that Jiang Qing had given her that day, and she was still thinking about when to return the favor.

"My life is indeed noble, and even the Regent cannot touch it."

"Why, Princess, are you unwilling to accept this?"

As soon as Jiang Qing arrived at the banquet, she heard everyone's undisguised slander and ridicule. She knew that this was a necessary experience when attending a flower-viewing banquet, so she didn't care much.

Who would have thought that Chu Baiwei was standing not far away from her and was mad at her. It was not Princess Changning's style to take such a small loss.

Chu Baiwei's body stiffened when she saw Jiang Qing approaching. When she saw her face, she remembered what Chu Yan said. She now represents the Chu family and the current royal family!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but straighten her body and took a stance towards Jiang Qing.

"He is just relying on some unorthodox methods to survive!"

"Princess, be careful if the regent says that, he might get angry again and ask you about it."

Jiang Qing didn't speak loudly, but perhaps because of the etiquette she had observed since childhood, she would involuntarily raise her voice when facing a group of people.

So when Chu Yan walked into the flower-viewing banquet, he happened to hear Jiang Qing's words.

"Princess Changning's words make me look petty."
