The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiang Li looked at Mu Jiuchen's embarrassment and wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back. Grandfather seemed not to notice Mu Jiuchen's embarrassment. He had been praising his granddaughter to Mu Jiuchen, as if his granddaughter was the best in the world. Now it was Jiang Li's turn to be embarrassed. She quickly pulled her grandfather's sleeve to stop him. Xie Bian looked back at Jiang Li with a confused look on his face.

"Li'er, what's wrong? Jiuchen and I have always had a cute Li'er since she was young."

"Grandpa, let's go to the front yard quickly. Grandma will be looking for you soon."

When Xie Bian heard this, his wife's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement!

"Yeah, go quickly or your grandmother will be worried."

Jiang Li knew that as long as he mentioned his grandparents, he would forget everything. Because Jiang Li knew from a young age that his grandfather was a powerful figure outside, but he would behave like a little lamb in front of his grandmother.

Xie Bian didn't say anything more and hurried to the front yard, not caring about Jiang Li. Mu Jiuchen was also left out. The two looked at Xie Bian who was walking away and smiled at each other, but then felt that this was too tacit and turned their heads away.

Jiang Li calmed down his awkward mood and said to Mu Jiuchen with a smile on his face.

"Regent, let's go to the front yard!"

"Um, you can call me Jiuchen." Mu Jiuchen said this with some nervousness and anticipation in his heart.

"Ah????" Jiang Li was a little surprised. Why couldn't he get over this topic just now?

Looking at Jiang Li's surprised expression, he sighed.

"Forget it, whatever you want!"

Jiang Li guided Mu Jiuchen to the front yard with one hand. The two walked not too far away. When Jiang Li's maid came out just now, she didn't let her follow, and Mu Jiuchen's guards didn't come either. There were only two people walking quietly. The atmosphere was a little subtle and warm. Mu Jiuchen thought as he walked that it would be better if this road was longer. But Jiang Li thought it was too embarrassing to hurry up!

Fortunately, this courtyard soon reached the front yard, and Jiang Li stopped following Mu Jiuchen. Because the women who liked Mu Jiuchen in Beijing could line up to go to Beijiang, she would not cause trouble for herself. Her deliberate stop made Mu Jiuchen feel strange. He didn't understand why Jiang Li didn't leave, obviously the front yard was almost there.

"Why did you stop?"

"Um, I still need to get some things from my room. Your Highness, please go first!" Jiang Li couldn't tell the truth so he just made up a lie.

"Well, okay!" Mu Jiuchen felt that girls always had some private matters of their own, so he didn't stay and went straight into the front yard.

Jiang Li watched Mu Jiuchen walk in, then he relaxed and patted his chest.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Li went in. The birthday banquet had separate seats for men and women. It was said that men and women were separated, but it was only visible. Liu Jiaojiao, who was sitting at the women's table, saw the Regent and Jiang Li come in one after the other. She always felt that there was something going on between them. Because the Regent's mouth was raised when he came in, there must be something to be happy about. She frowned slightly and squinted her eyes. This Jiang Li was really annoying.

Liu Jingyun looked at Liu Jiaojiao with contempt on his face.

“That’s not something you can covet.”

"Sister. What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" Liu Jiaojiao pretended to be confused.

"Hmph, it's best if you don't understand. Don't cause trouble for me outside. Otherwise, I won't forgive you." Liu Jingyun had seen enough of her pretentiousness. As the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she could tolerate Liu Jiaojiao's tyranny at home, but she would never allow her to embarrass herself outside.

Although Liu Jiaojiao was born a concubine, she was favored by Minister Liu at home, so she could do whatever she wanted at home, and the servants at home were also very respectful, but she still bowed down in front of Liu Jingyun, after all, there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. This was also what she felt unfair about. Why was Liu Jingyun respected outside, even Jiang Li, who chased the third prince all over the street, did not dare to say anything, it was nothing more than having a good birth. But these illegitimate children were not allowed to shine outside.

Liu Jiaojiao understood this truth since she was young, so she was very smart and worked hard to learn what a noble lady should learn. She had to rely on herself to escape her fate! In a big family, a concubine's daughter could only marry a concubine's son at most, and even if she married someone as a wife, she would still have to do a marriage. She didn't want to be a concubine like her mother.

Originally, the Third Prince disliked Jiang Li because of her unconditional love for him. She frequently appeared in front of the Third Prince and behaved very generously and appropriately, which also made the Third Prince pay some attention to her. But now that she saw the Regent, she felt that the Regent was her ideal partner.

Seeing Liu Jingyun's appearance, she withdrew her attention. Her current marriage was still in the hands of her stepmother, so she didn't dare to act rashly. Although Jin Yi Niang was favored, Minister Liu would not ask Mrs. Liu about such a matter of right and wrong. This was an unspoken rule known to all officials.

As the regent took his seat, the banquet officially began. Because Xie Bian was of a very high status, many guests came. Xie Bian himself was a military general, and his sons and grandsons were all in southern Xinjiang. His son-in-law was the head of the civil officials. So everyone who came today had their own thoughts. The emperor had reached the age of forty, and several princes had also reached adulthood.
