Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

Jiang Qing turned around and saw Chu Yan with a cold face, followed by a group of officials, including Lin Shao, who all frowned and dared not speak.

Upon seeing this, the female members of the family quickly stepped aside and saluted, and the young girls would even secretly look up to catch a glimpse of the Regent's face.

Jiang Qing also stepped forward and bowed slightly, with a dignified manner.

"The Prince Regent is kind-hearted and cares about his country and the world. He is definitely not the kind of person who would care about small matters."

"But that day..." She smiled barely audible, "The princess is a man of few words. I believe she will understand the good intentions of the regent."

After these words were spoken, everyone held their breath.

Lin Shao even felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat. This Princess Changning was indeed as venomous as the rumors said. She could even confront the Regent in this situation.

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but Jiang Qing is the biggest problem.

The princess of the previous dynasty commented that the current regent cares about his country and family. Although she lowered herself to observe etiquette, she did not hide the sarcasm in her words.

Just when everyone thought that the Regent was going to get angry because of this, Chu Yan didn't even look at Jiang Qing.

"Princess Changning is really eloquent."

"Everyone, please take your seats. The emperor will be here shortly."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the banquet room.

The maid in charge of the flower-viewing banquet immediately came out from the corner and directed the officials and their wives to their locations.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Shu appeared in front of everyone beside the current Emperor Chu Ziang.

This flower-viewing banquet was also the first time that the young emperor attended such a banquet after he ascended the throne.

He was only eight years old, and his steps were still a little childish even in his dragon robe. From time to time, he wanted to turn back and hold his mother's hand, but due to etiquette, he could only put his hands behind his back and walk towards the main seat alone.

"...Your Highness."

For a moment, there was a continuous sound of greetings at the table, and even Chu Yan stood up and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Chu Ziang was obviously not used to such scenes. His childish face was tense and he looked for his mother out of the corner of his eyes.

After some trouble, everyone was finally seated.

Jiang Qing originally sat in a corner with the maid. When Empress Dowager Shu came out and saw her, she asked her to sit below the main seat. It was obvious that she valued her very much, and everyone at the table was talking about it.

Until an official who looked highly respected stood up and walked to the center, bowing with both hands, "Your Majesty, Princess Changning is a survivor of the previous dynasty. It may be inappropriate for her to sit at the table in such a grand manner."

Chu Ziang subconsciously looked at Chu Yan. All this was arranged by Chu Yan, and he didn't know what to do.

Chu Yan simply glanced at the ministers standing under the table and poured a cup of wine without picking it up. "It was you who asked me to keep Princess Changning. Now you think it's unreasonable for the princess to stay here."

Chu Yan’s move was indeed powerful.

He originally wanted to kill Jiang Qing, but the ministers in the court all hoped to get the place where Jiang Qing hid the treasure before sending her to death. Chu Yan didn't care about it. It was a fact that the national treasury was becoming increasingly insufficient, but pinning his hopes on something whose roots he didn't know was not his style.

Since the ministers all wanted to protect her, he gave them a chance to let her reappear.

Anyway, Jiang Qing just suffered some injustice.

Lord Wu, who was standing, looked embarrassed for a moment, bowed even lower, found an excuse for himself and sat back in his seat.

Jiang Qing found the show interesting. There was no room for her to speak here. She came here to improve her food and find a chance to talk to Chu Yan later.

She picked a grape from the table and peeled it carefully before putting it into her mouth, but she found that Chu Yan's cold gaze was always on her.

Feeling a little puzzled, she looked back, but Chu Yan looked away the moment she looked over.

In addition to viewing the flowers, the flower-viewing banquet also featured some singing and dancing. Everyone was a little tired from the establishment of the new dynasty and needed some entertainment activities to take a break.

By dawn, the flower-viewing banquet was drawing to a close. Empress Dowager Shu led Chu Ziang to leave the table first, giving everyone a signal. All the ministers stood up to pay their respects and bid farewell. Soon they said goodbye in twos and threes and left.

Chu Yan stayed at the table and drank cup after cup of wine until he finished the pot of wine in front of him, then he stood up to leave.

Although Jiang Qing left first, she had been waiting outside the imperial garden to catch Chu Yan. She had no palace maid following her, so it was convenient for her to be alone. As soon as she saw Chu Yan and Du Shan coming out, she ran up to them and saluted.

"Met the Regent."

After drinking, Chu Yan was no longer as cold as usual. He stopped when he heard the call. His laziness and evilness seemed to come out of his bones.

Du Shan also bowed quickly when he saw Jiang Qing, "What's the matter, Princess Changning?"

"Since the Regent has agreed to cooperate with me, can you please transfer my former maid back to the palace?"

Chu Yan didn't say anything. He didn't remember any Jiang Qing's maid.

"My maid is still in the laundry department. I heard that the emperor has ordered that she is not allowed to enter or leave the laundry department at will."

Chu Yan moved. He took a step forward and approached Jiang Qing, his eyes slightly raised with some disdain, "I think that the imperial decree allowing Princess Changning to enter and leave the palace freely is a great favor from the emperor."

"The Prince Regent cooperated with me, but I didn't even have a single confidant to serve me. Is he afraid that I will really take back this country?"

Du Shan, who was listening on the side, suddenly changed his expression. Princess Changning dared to say anything. She was really like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

Chu Yan's emotions rarely fluctuated. His eyes fell on Jiang Qing, looking him up and down, wondering if he was thinking about how to deal with Jiang Qing.

The next second, a bony hand grabbed Jiang Qing's chin in an offensive manner, and the jade ring on the thumb pressed tightly against the corner of the jaw, causing Jiang Qing to feel pain.

"Jiang Qing, I spared your life out of kindness, not to allow you to provoke me again and again."

Jiang Qing didn't listen and struggled hard but couldn't get free. The fragrance from her body emerged as the range of her movements expanded and suddenly entered Chu Yan's nostrils.

He suddenly froze in place, and subconsciously reduced the strength of his hands to allow Jiang Qing to escape from his shackles.

"So what? If you have the guts, just kill me. I've already said that I'm just trying to survive in this palace. Do you really think I want to stay here?"

The voice was not loud, but sharp. While Jiang Qing was speaking, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, which looked like water and made her already beautiful face look even more pitiful.

The wind was cold and bleak at night, making people shiver their shoulders.

After Jiang Qing broke free, Chu Yan let go of his hand and hid it in his wide robe, so Jiang Qing didn't see him clench his palm into a fist, blood squeezed on his fingertips, and then slowly loosened his hand.

When she looked at Jiang Qing again, she still had the familiar indifferent look in her eyes. The pair of peach blossom eyes that should have been affectionate did not have a trace of warmth.

"If the princess is ill, I will call the imperial physician for you."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Du Shan followed closely.

On the way back to the palace, Du Shan dared not breathe. Since the Imperial Garden and Chu Yan's palace were not far away, Chu Yan thought about walking back to get rid of the smell of alcohol.

He didn't expect that the Regent would be so tolerant in the face of the outspoken Princess Changning, but Chu Yan didn't really look like he wasn't angry at all.

At least now, Du Shan felt that the wind was colder than when it was blowing outside the Imperial Garden just now.

Suddenly, Chu Yan stopped and tilted his head in the direction of Du Shan, "Has the Imperial Master come out of retreat these days?"

"Reporting to the Regent, someone from the Star Observatory wrote yesterday saying that the Imperial Master will probably come out of seclusion tomorrow."

Chu Yan nodded, "Pass the order down, and have the Imperial Master come to see me after he comes out of seclusion."

"Yes."
