Chapter 68: Too Hard! The Regent Wants to Revolt
Jiang Chen felt numb at heart when he heard this.
Now he has pioneered milk tea.
Maybe there will be more competition from peers in the future.
Damn, isn’t this just robbing him of his money?
Jiang Chen touched his chin and decided to create a monopoly.
Completely block .
This way no one can come and steal his money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen smiled happily.
But he hasn't figured out how to monopolize it.
There is a high probability that it will go through Concubine Shu.
For a moment, the regent on the first seat was very happy.
Jiang Chen sitting at the seat was also very happy.
"Since you like it, I will ask the kitchen to make some more."
"Take it home for you."
The minister who had just stood up was immediately grateful to the Regent.
Those who didn't know would have thought that the Regent saved his dying mother.
And just at this moment.
The people in the kitchen brought up several newly prepared dishes.
Jiang Chen peered and discovered those dishes.
These are the dishes that are more suitable for serving at banquets.
For example, squirrel fish, three variations of plum blossom, and fruit and vegetable platters.
The presentation is extremely exquisite.
It looks great.
Jiang Chen picked up one of the pieces and found it extremely delicious.
"It's OK. The quality hasn't declined due to the output."
“It’s worthy of praise.
These dishes also won praises from the guests present.
Instantly the banquet reached its climax.
Until the end of the banquet, both the guests and the hosts were enjoying themselves.
The feast is about to end.
For some reason, the Regent asked his servants to keep Jiang Chen.
They seemed to want to get to know each other better.
Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.
He seemed to agree very happily.
Moved to a quiet room.
The servant spoke to Jiang Chen very politely.
"Please wait here, sir."
"Our master will be here later."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Not long after, the usually taciturn Regent changed his clothes and walked into the room.
When Jiang Chen saw him come in, he quickly stood up from his seat.
"Your Majesty!"
The Regent waved his hand.
There was even a slight smile on his face.
"Master Jiang, please take a seat."
"No need to get up!"
Jiang Chen would naturally not sit down just because of the Regent's momentary courtesy.
Instead, he walked to the opposite side of the Regent.
He said with a smile.
"I am honored to be invited by the prince to have a chat."
"Jiang Chen is really flattered!"
Seeing Jiang Chen being so polite, the Regent couldn't help but laugh.
"No wonder Lord Jiang is valued by his cousin and the emperor."
"Master Jiang attaches too much importance to rules."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"That's too much."
By now the Regent had already sat down and took a sip of the tea on the table.
He then said.
"Master Jiang, you don't have to be polite here."
"Please take a seat."
"I came to you just to ask you a few questions."
Jiang Chen then responded and sat down.
Just sit down.
Then he heard the Regent speak.
"How is my cousin's life in the palace?"
Jiang Chen replied immediately.
"Your Highness the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother."
"Naturally, he is treated as the top person in Xia Country."
The Regent shook his head.
"Although you are of noble status, it is lonely for my cousin to be alone in the palace."
"Some time ago, I heard that my cousin got a satisfactory subordinate in the harem."
"When I asked, it turned out to be Lord Jiang in front of the Saint."
"I am actually a little more curious about you."
"She stood out from a lowly place like the laundry department and was favored by Concubine Shu."
"The Emperor has chosen me at first sight again."
"Finally, I was recognized by the Queen Mother."
"Master Jiang, you are such a wonderful person!"
Jiang Chen: “…”
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
Thank you for your mixed compliments.
If I didn't know, I would think you were playing tricks on me.
"It is my blessing that the prince thinks highly of Jiang Chen!"
"But I believe that the prince wants me to talk to him next time."
"It's definitely not just to praise me. If you think about it, Your Majesty must have something more important to do, right?"
I didn't expect Jiang Chen to get to the point so quickly.
The Regent put down the teacup in his hand.
Said to Jiang Chen.
"Master Jiang is a straightforward person."
"In that case, I won't hide it from Master Jiang."
"The harem is cold and harsh, and my cousin is living alone in it . I am still worried."
"If Lord Jiang helps, I think my cousin's life will be better."
Jiang Chen immediately agreed.
"Your Majesty is right."
"Ever since the Queen Mother and I met, I have been deeply touched by her help and respect for me."
"I think if I could have a chance to repay the Queen Mother."
"I will repay you with my life."
This outburst hit the Regent directly in the heart.
He just sighed with deep resentment.
His face was full of worry.
"Always serve before His Majesty."
"I think Lord Jiang must be deeply touched."
"The emperor is in very poor health now, and most of the state affairs depend on my cousin."
"My cousin is now a woman who has lived in the palace for a long time. How can she understand these complicated things?"
"After all, we are blood relatives, so I sometimes have to give advice to my cousin."
Jiang Chen nodded heavily.
Damn it.
It turns out it’s you, kid!
The behind-the-scenes emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
"Your Majesty is right!"
Jiang Chen echoed.
Not noticing anything unusual about Jiang Chen, the Regent continued.
"Jiang Chen, can you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Nodding like pounding garlic.
Jiang Chen: “Yes, yes, yes, yes”
Got a response from Jiang Chen.
The Regent continued.
"This is the only thing I am afraid of right now."
"Even if the current emperor passes away."
"Will all the complicated things fall on my cousin's shoulders?"
I understand. Jiang Chen understands.
The Regent and the Queen Mother are trying to kill the Emperor.
What's the matter with that?
Wouldn't it be better if you just asked directly how you could get the throne legitimately now that the emperor is dead?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think so."
"You have great righteousness in your heart, and you will definitely not abandon the entire Xia Kingdom."
"The only thing missing is a title to help the emperor manage government affairs."
"If the emperor passes away one day, you will be able to take charge of the overall situation in the court."
"I won't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes."
I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so thoughtful.
A look of horror flashed across the Regent's face.
"Well said, Lord Jiang."
"I didn't expect you to be so far-sighted."
"This prince has long seen that General Zuo and the Prime Minister's Office have ulterior motives."
“That’s why we have this idea of preparing for a rainy day.”
"What do you think, Lord Jiang?"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
The situation suddenly became clear.
It is unknown what the Left General Chen Huai and Prime Minister Xu Tao are thinking.
It is certain that the regent wants to seize the throne.
Today, there are three powers in the court.
The regent is obviously the Queen Mother's man.
And the emperor wanted to win over Chen Huai.
Who do Concubine Shu and the Prime Minister who is in charge of the entire Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Rites belong to ?
Jiang Chen felt a little complicated for a moment.
He has three families as slaves, and if he is not careful he will fall into the abyss.
"I think what the prince said is very true."
"The situation in the court is very strange. I believe that only the prince can calm this evil trend."
