Jiang Yunxi curled her lips slightly, "Well, it saves me the trouble of arranging their next few encounters. They will meet again in private."

Jiang Yunxi herself would certainly not expose this matter, but she thought of a good person to "expose" this matter.

Zhen Zhen bowed to Jiang Yunxi and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother handed over the list of the Jiang clan's children. She said that you should take a look first. The Queen Mother said that it is best to choose younger ones who can be close to you. These are the best and will definitely be able to help you in the future."

Jiang Yunxi thought that what Jiang Xueyi said was indeed true. Children who were raised by their parents from childhood could slowly develop feelings and their behavior and style of doing things. They were easier to control than those who had already achieved something.

Jiang Xueyi has always left a way out for Jiang Yunxi, hoping that Jiang Yunxi will still have someone to rely on even if she loses her father and mother.

But for Jiang Yunxi, it is better to rely on himself than to rely on others.

She wanted to choose someone to sit in the position of Duke Zhenguo simply because she didn't want Jiang Rang to sit in that position and tarnish her father's reputation.

As for the rest, she did not dare to expect a nephew or nephew who was not closely related to her by blood to show her much preference and support.

Jiang Yunxi flipped through the pages briefly, but didn't have any special impression of anyone.

In other words, there are no outstanding candidates among the Jiang family's descendants of this generation.

But if I don't choose from among my current sons and nephews, and wait for a while, I'm afraid Jiang Siqi will have the opportunity to take advantage of me.

"Grandmother has asked these people to come?" Jiang Yunxi closed the list, "When will they all arrive?"

"The branches that are close to the capital will arrive in about ten days or half a month. But the nephews and nieces in the south and north will probably take some time to get to the capital. If they all arrive, it will probably take until early summer."

Jiang Yunxi nodded.

At the beginning of spring, people in the capital were mostly discussing this year's spring hunt and which concubine Emperor Zhao Changta would take with him.

Is it Queen Meng Jingshu, or Concubine Wei Yanyan?

Yuanbao Casino even opened a special betting site for this purpose and invited the general public to place bets.

It is more like betting on the prince rather than the concubines.

Who does Emperor Zhao Changta prefer, the eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan or the crown prince Zhao Zheqi?

"Princess, will you go with us on this year's spring hunt?" Zhen Zhen took out a set of red riding clothes from the box, but she didn't know how to put them together.

Should I use it to clean the dust or keep it at the bottom of the box?

Jiang Yunxi, who was lying on the couch with her head in her hands and reading a book, glanced at the riding clothes and said, "Alas, I am a princess of your family. I am weak and can't lift or carry anything. I can't go even if I want to."

Jiang Yunxi's eyes were glued to the book, and she was not interested in spring hunting or anything like that.

The prey in the enclosure had already been seriously injured by the Yulin Guards, so there was no point in hunting them.

It's just a formality.

Zhen Zhen: I will just watch you edit quietly...

Although Jiang Yunxi was bedridden from time to time before, Jiang Yunxi is now really too lazy to get up. He either lies down or on his side every day and doesn't even get out of bed to eat.

It’s not that I’m not feeling well and can’t go, it’s just that I’m too lazy to get out of bed.

Nan Nan sent in today's secret report.

The secret reports are a collection of the latest intelligence in the capital, especially the recent undisclosed secrets of many officials.

Nan Nan reported, "There was a sudden mountain flood in Daizhou, and the local people were displaced and homeless. They had no choice but to migrate south to Shuozhou, Yangzhou, Juzhou and other places. But these counties all refused to let the refugees out of the city."

"Because the government is worried that the good farmland in the north has been damaged. If the granaries are opened to release grain, it will cause prices in the city to rise, and they are worried that there will be a food shortage in the city."

"So, some victims continued to move south and reported the situation to the capital. Now the victims have gathered outside the city and riots may occur at any time."

Jiang Yunxi nodded slightly, thinking that this might be an opportunity.

She remembered that in her previous life, Emperor Zhao Changta sent the third prince Zhao Zheyong to deal with the flood in Daizhou.

Zhao Zheyong handled the matter very well and gained the recognition of Zhao Changta, which also paved the way for Zhao Zheyong to ascend the throne in the future.

But later, Jiang Yunxi learned from Zhao Zheyong's words that Zhao Zheyong killed those refugees to prevent them from reporting the true disaster situation in Daizhou back to the capital.

And they strictly guarded the area around the capital, for fear of any information leaking out.

Zhao Zheyong even infiltrated the Censorate with his own people to suppress the memorials that impeached him and told the truth, and assassinated the officials who wrote these memorials.

So in the previous life, this matter had never been brought up.

After Zhao Zheyong ascended the throne, no one dared to mention this matter anymore.

In the previous life, Jiang Yunxi ignored it because she wanted to protect Zhao Zheyong.

But this world... is of course different.

"Of course, the world must know about Zhao Zheyong's method of curing disasters." Jiang Yunxi's lips curled up slightly, "A prince who has lost the support of the people cannot be the emperor."

"Has Jiang Siqi returned to Daizhou? How is he?" Jiang Yunxi remembered that Jiang Siqi was studying at the Bai Ludong Academy. Calculating the date, Jiang Siqi should have gone there already.

"Yes. But before he reached Daizhou, he heard about the flood and stopped in Juzhou." Nan Nan had always sent people to follow Jiang Siqi and find out about him.

"Seeking profit and avoiding harm is his nature." Jiang Yunxi sneered, "You can find someone to casually mention Zhao Zheyong in front of him, saying that Zhao Zheyong selected talented people and promoted many scholars to serve as officials."

Jiang Yunxi thought that the Queen Mother had spread the news of selecting the new Duke of Zhen to the Jiang clan, and all the nephews and nieces of the Jiang family had already rushed to the capital.

Although there are no outstanding sons and nephews among them, Jiang Siqi is probably worried that given the current situation of the Jiang family, it might be too late to wait until three years later to enter the officialdom.

By then, would the title of Duke of Zhenguo have fallen into the hands of someone else?

Then it will be really difficult to get back the title of "Duke of Zhenguo".

Although Zhao Zheyong's mother's family is not prominent, he is indeed the only prince that Jiang Siqi can come into contact with.

The other princes either have the support of the Meng family or the Wei family, but they do not lack the help of Jiang Siqi.

If Jiang Siqi knew that he had surrendered to Zhao Zheyong, Zhao Zheyong would have sent him to the court in advance and won the position of Duke of Zhenguo for him.

Will Jiang Siqi take this shortcut?
