The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 326
"Zichan, I know what you mean. But this is not an important matter. I dare not say anything else. In Liangzhou, where my eldest grandson's family has been operating for so many years, if even some horse bandits and robbers can't be dealt with , wouldn't that be a joke?" Changsun Ji chuckled lightly.

"Just do as I tell you. If necessary, I will send someone to protect your transportation safety."

Shen Qiuyi and the three looked at each other, and seeing that the elder Sun Ji was determined, they could only bow to each other and said, "Obey."

Changsun Ji nodded, and after explaining some things to the three of them, he got up and left the room.

After leaving the restaurant, Changsun Ji went back to the other courtyard, took Feng Wan'er back to Changsunhou's mansion, and met Gao Nian Cake.

His father is not at home, so he, as a son, is going to go back to Beijing, so he will naturally go back to the manor to see him.

…………

In the morning, Changsun Ji got up from the bed and rubbed his head with his hand.Yesterday, Xing Tai came to invite him to drink, and the two talked while drinking until midnight.

Xing Tai is not in vain now, years ago, his father got him to be a guard in the palace, and now he can be regarded as a guard with a sword in front of the imperial court.

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Changsun Ji felt a little comfortable in his head.Amidst Feng Wan'er's complaining voice, Changsun Ji smiled and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, he happened to see a person walking towards him, Changsun Ji fixed his eyes and saw that the person was Cheng Ping.

He was the scholar who was with Guo Dingxin and Xue Zhongchang before Changsun Jiwei went to the expedition. When he went to the expedition, Changsun Ji left him at home and temporarily served as the housekeeper of the other courtyard.

Because Cheng Ping escorted a batch of grain to Tongshan before Changsun Ji entered the city, so after Changsun Ji came, he hadn't met Changsun Ji yet.

"I've met my lord." Cheng Ping came over to salute Changsun Ji.

Changsun Ji smiled and patted Cheng Ping on the shoulder and said, "How about it, is it safe on the way?"

"Hehe, although there were some twists and turns, the journey was considered safe." Cheng Ping replied with a smile.

Then he took out a letter from his bosom, put it in Changsun Ji's hand and said, "My lord, Miss Zizhu asked me to bring it to my lord."

Changsun Ji lowered his head and looked at the envelope. There were a few delicate words written on the envelope, "Your Excellency."

Changsun Ji tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it again.Then he sighed, stuffed the letter into the envelope, and put it in his arms.

Ever since Zizhu left the capital for Tongshan, their master and servant hadn't met each other. To be honest, he missed this girl a little.

Zizhu didn't write anything in the letter, but just introduced her life in Tongshan and the current situation of Tongshan.

He also told him to protect himself so as not to worry her, and his concern for himself was revealed between the lines.

Although Zizhu didn't care too much about Changsun Ji's body, he and Zizhu almost grew up together, and the tacit understanding between the two of them naturally fit very well. Even if he didn't use words to express it, he could still understand Zizhu's heart worry about him.

Changsun Ji patted the letter through his clothes for fear of putting it in his arms.He raised his head and smiled at Cheng Ping: "Cheng Ping, it's just in time for you to come back. I still have one thing to worry about, and I need you to help me run it. I don't feel relieved when someone else goes."

"Hehe, if there is no lord, Ping would have starved to death on the street long ago. It is my duty to do things for the lord. If the lord has anything to do, just ask." Cheng Ping said with his hands clasped.

"This matter is not urgent. It's been a long time since you've been exhausted. You should rest for a few days. I'll let you know when it's ready. How about it?"

"Well, it's just right." Cheng Ping nodded.

"Naping will leave first."

"Have a good rest. In the evening, I will hold a banquet to welcome you and introduce a friend to you. I think you will have a good chat and become confidantes." Changsun Ji said with a smile.

Cheng Ping nodded in agreement, then bowed and retreated.

After Cheng Ping left, Changsun Ji looked at Wang Gang who was standing behind him and said, "But the arrangement is good?"

"It's been arranged properly. Luo Niang has launched a contest to select the top prize. It has been publicized and sent a message to the dudes and rich businessmen all over the capital."

"The grandson of the emperor is being forced by the princess to choose a concubine? I guess he is already upset. If there is such a thing, with the character of the grandson of the emperor, he will go to the banquet."

Changsun Ji nodded, and then said softly: "What did the emperor's grandson say about choosing a concubine? What is the scope of concubine selection?"

"A few days ago, the grandson of the emperor was reprimanded by the prince because of the chaos in his private life. The concubine should think about finding some concubines for the grandson to restrain him."

"As for the selection of concubines, it should be selected from the women of the right age among the hundred officials in the capital, and there should also be women of the right age among the local officials of the prince faction and the neutral faction."

After all, Wang Gang glanced at Changsun Ji and saw him frowning slightly.Seemingly understanding what Changsun Ji was thinking, he continued, "It's just an ordinary choice of concubine, not the selection of the emperor's concubine."

Changsun Ji nodded. It is not a big deal for the grandson of the emperor to choose a concubine. Generally, after reaching adulthood, he would choose once every three to five years.This is not a rule. Sometimes, some children of the royal family may be elected twice a year. This is entirely based on personal preference. Of course, the premise is that no one uses it to impeach.

Although the emperor's grandson is still underage, he is not too young.Although the emperor and grandson concubines have not yet been selected, it is natural to say that only a few concubines are selected.

"What is the quota for the concubine selection this time? Did the Crown Princess say how many she would choose?"

"Is it true? The Crown Princess just let out a little bit of information. The selection of concubines is relatively large, and there is no regulation on the number of places."

Changsun Ji looked thoughtful and said, "Usually, there should be about three. If the remaining ones are favored by the emperor's grandson, they may be selected as concubines."

"Wang Gang, I will write a letter when I bring it back. You send people to Tongshan, give it to Zizhu, and ask her to send people to search around, find a suitable target, and send it to the capital.

Where should we have someone to pass the news on to the emperor grandson, this time the concubine selection is a good opportunity, if the concubine is not available, at least one concubine should be able to get one. " Changsun Ji ordered.

"Yes." Wang Gang cupped his hands and agreed.

After finishing speaking, Changsun Ji turned around and walked towards the study, Zizhu sent him a letter, he should reply to a letter, and by the way, he also took care of the matter of choosing a concubine of the right age.

As for whether the time is too late, Changsun Ji doesn't care, this is his second hand, if the time is too late, then wait until the next time.Prepare early so that you won't panic when the time comes.
