Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Xiao Jiangran had the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, so after breakfast, Shen Jin didn't rush to leave.

"I've warned her many times." Xiao Jiangran's face was stern, and the veins in his right hand, which was holding the teacup, bulged. "Shen Jin, I'm not a good person."

"So, even if she is the teacher's granddaughter, I will not let her go."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died there."

Xiao Jiangran closed his eyes: "I will personally confess my crime to the teacher."

Shen Jin shook his head.

He clenched his fists: "Is it wrong?"

"Xie Lan, that's not necessary."

"You saved Xie Lan's life, and he only gave you some advice. No matter what, he is the one who owes you."

Shen Jin drummed his fingertips on the table and said frankly, "If you hadn't rushed into the sea of fire several times, I would have watched Xie Lan burn to death in the fire."

It was like thunder in broad daylight, and numbness spread throughout the body.

Xiao Jiangran pressed his chest, a little dazed.

He was abnormal, as he could hear favoritism in the cruel words.

Especially since these words came from Shen Jin.

When it fell into his ears, it was like a confession.

He covered his face with his hands to hide the surprise in his eyes, but he couldn't even say a word of thanks.

Xiao Jiangran is introverted after all.

Although the previous events were over, Xiao Jiangran still couldn't get over it in his heart and felt ashamed to face the person.

She pretended to be calm on the surface, but her face was flushed with shyness.

Shen Jin was quite aware of this. They circled around Shen Jin several times before tentatively sinking in. It had no real effect, but only symbolized a struggle, which was really funny.

But now, they were suddenly injected with stimulants, jumping and leaping towards her, extremely enthusiastic, and afraid of being left behind.

?

Why is he going crazy about food again?

Shen Jin, with an inexplicable tolerance, returned to the main topic and instructed: "Be careful of Prince You, he is very troublesome."

After all, this is a character that was forcibly added outside the plot by the world consciousness, and she doesn't know what it will lead to for the time being.

He is already fast asleep and still restless; sooner or later he will be cast out.

Shen Jin thought about it, took out a peach wood hairpin from his bosom and pushed it over.

It is called a hairpin, but in fact it is just a piece of peach wood that has been peeled and smoothed, with patterns drawn on it with just a few strokes. It is far less exquisite than the hairpins sold.

"Made with peach branches from your yard."

A teleportation spell was added. If Xiao Jiangran encountered a real dead end and she was not around, the peach wood hairpin would take him to a safe place temporarily to ensure his life was safe.

The last line of defense for escape.

Shen Jin felt that one might not be enough, so he took out another one and pushed it over.

When there were a lot of them, she piled them on the table, like firewood she picked up at random, with extremely low value.

As Xiao Jiangran rose in rank, his attire became increasingly simple. A blue cloth headband and a mahogany hairpin were truly unbecoming of his Grand Secretary status.

After all, even the poorest scholar would save money and carefully choose a brass hairpin for himself.

"Why prepare so much?"

Xiao Jiangran was shocked. He picked up the "firewood" carefully, counted and described them one by one, and then put them in his palm.

Shen Jin was satisfied.

After all, she picked and painted this peach branch with her own hands. Doesn't it require any effort?

"If one breaks, just replace it. There's enough here for you to use for a long time."

Xiao Jiangran lowered her eyes, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. She seemed to be preparing for what would happen after their separation.

She is leaving?

……

The emperor still knew Xiao Jiangran's identity.

One day in the imperial study, Xiao Jiangran rarely had an argument with everyone in front of the emperor.

It concerns the western border defense.

Xiao Jiangran listed a series of data to prove that the Qiang army's probing was not groundless, and that they were likely to launch a large-scale attack soon.

The other group laughed at him, saying he was a rookie and was so nervous. The Qiang army was always agitated before winter, a custom that had been repeated in previous years. Such panic would put our Iron Army on the Western Front in a state of panic!

The emperor was naturally dissatisfied. This was not only a problem of seeing through the western army, but strengthening border defense meant sending silver from the national treasury.

Now that winter has just begun, there are many things to spend money on, so how can we waste it on unnecessary defenses for a young child?

Don't know good from evil.

Xiao Jiangran lost control for a moment and argued a little louder, so the emperor held him accountable for his misconduct in the palace and gave him ten strokes of the cane. This is what it means to be with the emperor, like being with a tiger.

It was just an accident that happened during the fight.

The string of the pendant on Xiao Jiangran's chest broke, and the jade buckle fell out of his clothes.

He was being caned and didn't pay any attention.

The emperor caught a glimpse of the jade button that fell to the ground.

That glance was incredible, how could this thing be so familiar!

Looking more closely, it turned out to be a token of love carved by him personally and given to Concubine Zhen!

After Zhenfei's death, he couldn't find her anywhere and thought she had abandoned him. He was lost for a long time.

How could it fall into the hands of a child?

The emperor's heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm and ordered someone to steal the pendant.

After several investigations, he unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Jiangran was actually his and Concubine Zhen's son.

At that time, he and Concubine Zhen had many conflicts. Concubine Zhen was determined to die and resented him so much that she didn't even tell him that she was pregnant!

After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth, she asked a nanny to secretly send the child out of the palace.

The Queen accidentally learned about this.

She held a grudge against herself for being banished to the cold palace, so she ordered someone to tamper with the child's journey. The child was not sent to the family designated by Concubine Zhen, but was picked up on the road by a kind-hearted scholar who had never had a child.

The emperor rubbed the jade button on his palm and said, "If I hadn't beaten your son, you would have been so anxious to protect him. Are you really unwilling to give me any thought?"

……

The news that Xiao Jiangran was dragged outside the imperial study and beaten with ten sticks in public soon spread throughout the court.

Being injured is the same, but what’s more important is the loss of face.

This was also regarded by others as evidence that Xiao Jiangran had lost his holy heart.

He was an upright official and had conflicts with other officials while serving in the Inspectorate.

After taking office in the cabinet, he became even worse. Relying on the emperor's favor, he was "unscrupulous" and took advantage of many people's fat.

Right now, many people are taking advantage of others' misfortunes and making sarcastic remarks.

Xiao Jiangran simply claimed to be sick and moved all his official duties back home, giving himself some leisure time.

……

In the study, Xiao Jiangran frowned, wrote furiously, and pursed his lips into a straight line, which showed that he had encountered some trouble.

While he was engrossed in his work, he subconsciously sat up straight, which resulted in his wound, which had not yet healed, being pulled, causing him to look horrified in pain.

Shen Jin was lying on the desk on the side, and she couldn't intervene with these minor injuries, so he could only rely on himself to heal.

I'm wondering if I should get some more protective gear.

I have something to save my life, but I still can’t prevent minor injuries.

The ten beatings in the palace were so pure that the skin was torn and the flesh was exposed.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel angry: "Is that old man sick?"

Xiao Jiangran had to comfort her: "I'm fine. I guess he thinks I'm too presumptuous in my official duties and wants to take back my favor."

Unfortunately, the power he has now achieved cannot be obtained by just a word of divine favor.
