Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Lan Yin was stunned, because it was given by Qin Jue, so it was special?

She suddenly showed a serious look of worry... Sigh, the princess seems to be getting better and better towards the prince, isn't she sincere?

Well, maybe their princess has always been soft-spoken and soft-hearted? Although he doesn't seem to care on the surface, he actually likes it very much?

After thinking about Jiang Li's thoughts, Lan Yin sighed softly and said slightly, "I understand, this slave."

Jiang Li:...?

What do you unserstand?

Looking at Lan Yin's slightly heavy back, Jiang Li looked confused.

Time flew by, and finally it was the day of Emperor Qing's birthday.

The lifespan of ancient people was relatively short, so as the emperor who needed to worry the most, his fortieth birthday was already very important, because he didn't know if he would be fifty...

Well, in short, this birthday banquet was very lively, and the various decoration specifications were also very luxurious.

Emperor Qing liked to watch plays, so he invited a troupe to go directly to the palace and start singing in the morning. Anyone in the palace who liked it could go and listen.

This is also the case for some relatives of the emperor and ministers with relatively high status.

Jiang Li had no interest in this. Even if she heard that Qin Jue had entered the palace early in the morning, she was too lazy to join in the fun.

Near noon, Lan Yin came to report, "The emperor has been in a good mood recently. The queen begged for a few words and then allowed Prime Minister Fu to enter the palace."

"And I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with the reform of the imperial examination system these days, and it was officially approved this morning."

"The Emperor was very satisfied with this, and His Highness the Crown Prince took the opportunity to say some nice things for Prime Minister Fu and take credit for him."

"Now it seems that the emperor's attitude has softened. If there is no further action from King Jing'an... I'm afraid this matter will be settled."

If you want to bring down a powerful minister, the emperor's attitude is undoubtedly the most important.

If he wants to keep it, there are many ways.

So Lan Yin is inevitably a little worried now.

Jiang Li, however, could sit still and just smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't think that today is really just to let the emperor celebrate his birthday in peace, do you?"

"Don't worry, the excitement is yet to come."

After all, the reason why she tried so hard to convince Luo Qing was not to let her watch the battle from the sidelines.

Lunch was for the whole family to get together, so after someone came over to invite Jiang Li, she didn't take any time off and went directly to Fengyi Palace where the banquet was being held.

Some officials who entered the palace early, including members of the Liang Kingdom delegation, were also given a banquet, but naturally it was not in Fengyi Palace, but in the banquet hall.

Emperor Qing and members of the royal family gathered in Fengyi Palace.

It is indeed not easy for members of the royal family to get together. In total, there are more than ten people sitting at the same table. It is a bit crowded, but it is also lively.

Jiang Li and Qin Jue sat together, talking quietly amidst the compliments of others to Emperor Qing.

Qin Jue: "Why did you come?"

Jiang Li glanced at him, "Then why did you come so early?"

"...The people from Liang Guo's mission are here. I'm following orders after all, so it's better not to show up."

Jiang Li said "Oh", "Then you have someone with you, why are you asking me?"

Qin Jue was silent for a moment, then put the vegetables in Jiang Li's bowl, "I want to..."

When the word "you" came to my lips, it felt too numb, and I couldn't pass the test in my heart.

So he made a sharp turn and continued: "...just ask."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, half-smiling, "Why do I think that's not what you just wanted to say?"

Qin Jue's face felt a little hot when she saw him. He pursed his thin lips slightly and said nothing.

At this moment, someone suddenly said with a smile: "Look, the relationship between Ali and Lao Wu is so good. There are so many people here, and they are just talking like this without anyone noticing?"

After his name was called, Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the speaker... Oh, it was Concubine Yao.

There was a smile on her face, and she didn't mean to embarrass them when she said this, but more like she wanted to do a favor.

After all, everyone now knows that the sixth princess of Liang Kingdom seems to be interested in Qin Jue, and Jiang Li's status is unstable now.

At this time, naming the two of them in front of Emperor Qing was nothing more than a reminder to Emperor Qing.

In addition, in addition to helping, I think he also deliberately wanted to make the queen unhappy.

Concubine Yao was able to become a concubine second only to the queen, so she naturally had her own merits. It was impossible not to know that Qin Jue was a thorn in the queen's side and a thorn in her flesh.

Sure enough, her words caused many people to change their expressions, among which the Queen's expression was undoubtedly the worst.

She had tried her best to deal with them twice before, but failed both times. Now she had to watch the two of them show off their affection, which made everyone feel upset.

She twitched her lips with some difficulty and said calmly, "Ali, what do I teach you on weekdays? When elders are present, you must behave yourself."

He tried his best to pretend that he was expressing the kindness of his elders, but everyone could hear the resentment that could not be hidden in his words.

Jiang Li sat upright and said very seriously: "What the Queen Mother said is true, but Brother Huang is just concerned about my injury. He told me privately because he was afraid that speaking out loud would make everyone worried."

As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Qin Jue, "Is that right, Brother Huang?"

Qin Jue paused and nodded without saying a word.

Emperor Qing glanced at the two of them and then said, "I'm worried, but I still have to pay attention to some rules."

"After all, Ali is still a girl who has not left the court. She can just stay at home. How can she behave in front of outsiders?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became even more subtle.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and wanted to say something, he has done even the most irregular things, how can you say it properly now? Isn't it too late?

But... I don’t know if the Liang State’s envoy said or did something. Why did Emperor Qing think that he was a little biased?

Everyone felt something was wrong, but Qin Jue acted as if nothing had happened, and just said, "Father said that, I will pay attention to it in the future."

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Li, vaguely feeling that... maybe not only Emperor Qing, but also Qin Jue's heart had strayed?

Under the various subtle gazes, Jiang Li's expression remained unchanged. He just smiled and said, "What father and brother said is right, and Ali will also pay attention."

Everyone:? ? ?

Why do you feel that you can’t understand it more and more?

After such an episode, Jiang Li and Qin Jue never talked in a low voice again.

The meal was a bit uncomfortable to eat, but fortunately the emperor didn't drink, so he finished it quickly after enduring it for a while.

When leaving, Emperor Qing called Qin Jue again, "Lao Wu, come with me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Qin Jue has always had little status with Emperor Qing, so naturally no one would think that he was suddenly appreciated by the emperor.

Combined with what happened before, I vaguely felt that... I might have to say something to him alone.

For a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Li with a little sympathy.

Tsk, if you try hard, you may end up in vain.
