thenBai Lian quickly explained: "Back then, when you bunch of beggars settled at the Real View Temple, it was under our guidance that you made that choice."Her voice was soft: "Ruheng, this is a very...Speaking of which, the Duke’s Residence and Jiang Wang had a bit of a "history" together.

The Treasure Pavilion had an esteemed elder named Cao Xing, who was the nephew of Duke He Fu of the Qi Kingdom.

To put it plainly, it means He Fu is registered under the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce to receive support and filial piety.

Xu placed himself outside Qingshi Palace, confessing his sins and revealing his heart, setting the stage for the collapse of the Jubao Merchant Guild. This directly severed He Fu's financial lifeline.

Later, Chongxuan Sheng dismantled the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce. Jiang Wang killed Su Shea and completely sent this once illustrious merchant organization to the dust heap.

Therefore, although Jiang Wang had not had any direct conflicts with the Duke's Manor, upon closer examination, there were still some contradictions.

But He Zhen didn't really intend to cause trouble for Jiang Wang today. Or maybe he had thought about it before, but Jiang Wang's rise was much faster than his own plans could be made.

by the time he made up his mind, that so-called opponent was already a Golden Melon Warrior of Rank Three in Daqi, with the title Qingyangzi!

In every aspect, he surpasses him by far.

He could say that besides his royal connections, there was nothing else he could boast of in front of Jiang Wang.

Today at Changsheng Palace, I met him. He really wants to make friends.

Not long before that, he had been caught red-handed for driving recklessly in the city and arrested by Zheng Shangming, son of the Northern Army Inspector. This incident served as a warning to others. The Great Qi Imperial Uncle's mansion sounded glorious and prestigious, but because neither the Crown Prince nor the Empress supported them much, they were helpless against the Northern Army. They could only grit their teeth and accept the punishment and take responsibility for it.

>

But to be more specific, Jiang Wang and Zheng Shangming had a prior acquaintance. Furthermore, rumors abound that Zheng Shi intended to relinquish his post as Northern Camp Commander. The graceful and elegant Jiang Qingyang, who showcased her talents at the Starry Moon Plain, stands a good chance of assuming this position of significant power.

If he becomes friends with Jiang Wang, will Zheng Shangming cause him trouble again in the future

Wasn't the North Yard still walking sideways

Moreover, Jiang Wang's unparalleled beauty is widely recognized, and his future potential is limitless.

If he were to recruit this person for the Crown Prince, his father would still scold him for being useless, and the Empress wouldn't even look at him properly as her nephew.

He knew he wasn't important, but the Crown Prince was the heir apparent, the future emperor of Qi. Even if Jiang Qingyang was arrogant, could he possibly disrespect the future Emperor of Qi

Making a friend isn't that complicated.

He was truly sincere in his pursuit of friendship, even planning where to go have fun with Jiang Wang after the funeral. Although Changsheng Palace's rules forbid revelry during mourning, He Zhen also had connections. While he couldn't visit the Four Great Halls, there were other places to seek out a paradise-like dream.

Who would have thought that the Palace Master of Huaying would set fire to the place just like that

He questioned himself, since entering the hall, he had been courteous and never neglected this prince. What was going on with him suddenly being so hostile

Damn it, these people surnamed Jiang, they are all so moody!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He Zhen cursed inwardly, trying to drown the overwhelming fear that felt like being submerged, as he slunk out of the hall.

"He Zhen, what are you doing sneaking around here" a dignified voice spoke at the right moment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He Zhen felt as if a gentle force was supporting her head, and then her whole body was "lifted" up, standing there with her chest held high.

Of course, he recognized his aunt, the Empress, as well as his cousin, the Crown Prince, and his wife, the Crown Princess.

But his mind was still in turmoil.

Until the old eunuch from Changsheng Palace knelt and bowed, “I greet Your Majesty the Empress, I greet His Royal Highness the Prince, and his Consort.”

He then came to his senses and bowed respectfully.

After he had bowed respectfully, the Empress Dowager of Qi asked, "What's going on"

At this time, Jiang Wang in the hall had already stood up to show respect to the Empress. She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wuyou with the corner of her eye. Jiang Wuyou was still standing there, his face expressionless.

At such close proximity, Empress Da Qi’s cultivation base would certainly not have failed to notice what was happening in the hall, so now this questioning held a rather profound meaning.

“Um...” He Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, “It's nothing. I have already offered incense to His Highness the Fourteenth Prince. Due to family matters, I am about to leave now.”

>

He wasn't stupid enough to try and complain about her to the Empress Dowager.

Jiang WuHua, standing beside him, said softly, "Then take your time on the way back."

It seems that this prince intends to appease the situation.

But Empress He did not agree.

She looked at Jiang Wuyou standing by the coffin and asked in a soft voice, "Wuyou, is that so"

'Tis difficult for celestial families to have kinship since ancient times.

As the Empress of Great Qi, she had always kept her brother and nephew in check, preventing them from causing trouble. Even when He Zhen caused a commotion by setting carts ablaze in the city and was apprehended by the Northern Garrison last time, she refused to intervene.

Because she knew well that even if she did nothing, her blood relation with He Zhen would remain. The Northern Barracks at most would follow the rules and regulations and would never go too far. Those vicious methods wouldn't fall on He Zhen's head.

>

And if she were to intervene and save He Zhen, allowing him to escape punishment for violating the laws of Qi, that would truly be opening Pandora's Box. It would only unleash the insatiable greed of He Zhen and his son endlessly. Her single act of compassion here could be inflated into a hundredfold support by He Fu out there.

She had always been a very clear-headed person, understanding that the reason why the He family was able to replace the Yin family, besides Jiang Wuhua, was largely because the He family had no foundation and could make the emperor feel at ease.

She has always restrained the expansion of the He family's power, making it clear that Jiang Wuhua himself is the only true foundation. How prosperous the Yin family, Jiang Wuliang's maternal clan, was in the past, and how they have fallen now

But...

As her only brother, He Fu refrained from seeking official positions or titles to avoid causing trouble for the prince. Even earning extra money, he would immediately stop if there was any hint of trouble.

He Zhen, as the only son of his elder brother, was over thirty but still aimless. He spent his days loitering in taverns and gambling dens. Although He Zhen wasn't very capable, there were plenty of people who lacked ability yet held important positions in this world. He couldn't touch anything, wasn't that just a form of suffering endured for the sake of the Crown Prince

Though Empress He never spoke of it, how could she possibly have no pity looking at her aging elder brother every day

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If He Zhen had actually committed a crime, that would be one thing. But today, he only said a few words, his voice was just a bit loud, and Jiang Wuyou treated him like a dog or a pig and drove him away. It's really too much!

She really doesn't take this Empress of Qi seriously!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

She refused to simply brush it off today. First, she wanted to establish her dignity as the empress of Qi. Second, there was discontent in her heart. Third, she also wanted to test Jiang Wuyou's resolve.

She wanted to ask, what did this Jiang Wuyou want to do

Having been called out by name, Jiang Wuyou could no longer ignore it. She turned around and performed a courteous bow to Empress He: "Empress Dowager."

"No need for formalities." Empress He raised her hand to stop him, but she wasn't willing to skip over the issue. "Tell your mother what happened just now, Wuyou"

Although the voice was not harsh, the atmosphere in the entire spirit hall suddenly became heavy.

"Well, Mother," Jiang WuHua interjected to smooth things over. "Today is Xiaoshi's..."

>

“Did I ask you, Your Highness” Empress He did not even turn around, but her words silenced the Crown Prince.

He Zhen's mood at this time was both nervous and excited.

How many years has it been

At last, the empress's aunt had given him a taste of his own medicine!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Still in front of the Palace Master Hua Ying!

Is this the beginning of the peak of life

Looking at the city of Linzi, who would dare to provoke He Da-ye from now on

But this mixture of anxiety and excitement was quickly doused by a bucket of cold water.

Jiang Wuyou just gave him a light glance: "Then he better get out of here and stay, waiting to annoy the emperor."

Feng Gu, the chief eunuch of Changsheng Palace, knelt outside the palace like a statue, motionless.

Jiang WuHua was silent, He Zhen froze.

Even Jiang Wuyong, who had been kneeling by the coffin and sobbing softly, seemed to have forgotten how to cry at this moment.

Jiang Wang's eyes twitched.

The Third Princess said she was just in a bad mood before, that's too humble...

"Worry-free, you've really grown up."

Having finished her sentence with icy coldness, Empress He turned her head to look at He Zhen: "What are you still standing there for"

“Ah” He Zhen didn’t react at all.

The Empress's face showed no anger, only a faint voice: "Didn't you hear Hua Yinggongzhu telling you to get lost"

The Great Qi Empress walked forward with an impassive face, her bearing dignified and majestic, her phoenix eyes radiating authority.

All the maids and eunuchs in attendance remained outside the hall.

>

In the hall, there was no one speaking, nor any other sound.

This made the Empress's light footsteps sound heavy.

Jiang Wuyou silently gave way to the spot beside the coffin, saying nothing. He walked straight to Jiang Wang's side but didn't sit down immediately. He just glanced at the chair where He Zhen had been sitting.

Jiang Wang reacted and quickly got up, switching the chair with the one next to it.

>

Only then did Jiang Wuyu brush off her clothes and sit down, but she remained silent.

Jiang Wang sat at the outermost edge of the spirit hall. He could see Feng Gu kneeling outside from where he was, prostrating himself day and night... He had aged to the point that one couldn't bear to look upon him.

Jiang Wang couldn't bear to stare at Feng Gu, nor was he comfortable speaking with Jiang Wuyou. Of course, he couldn't stare at the Crown Princess either, so he could only fix his gaze on the coffin in the hall.

No matter how brilliant a person may have been, no matter how ornate and exquisite their coffin, under the eternal significance of death, they are all utterly still.

The Queen's hand rested on the edge of the coffin.

And her voice, carrying a faint tinge of sadness: "Little Eleven, you've suffered. You were sickly from a young age, and only managed to grow to this age... Empress Dowager failed to care for you properly, truly I am filled with remorse."

The Crown Princess, Song Ning'er, supported her, and softly comforted, “Mother Empress, please be composed. Eleventh Brother is in heaven, he wouldn't want you to be sad.”

The Crown Prince walked alone on the other side of the coffin, and walked to Jiang Wuyong's side.

Jiang Wuyong wanted to get up and move aside, but he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

>

He knelt down beside Jiang Wu Yong, one hand resting on his shoulder and the other holding his hand: "Wu Yong, you've lost your elder brother, I've lost my wise younger brother, we..."

His voice choked, unable to continue. He just held onto Jiang Wuyong's hand, squeezing it tighter and tighter.

Jiang Wuyong called out only "elder brother" before bursting into tears.

In fact, there were no cushions or straw mats on the ground for kneeling, so they knelt directly on the cold floor.

And in the coffin lay one who would never hear the cries, nor see the tears.

Cao Jie, Xiu Yuan, and Chen Fu, three high-ranking officials of the state of Qi, arrived together at this time.

>

They also spoke little, bowing according to etiquette to the Empress and Crown Prince, then offering incense before the altar.

The Empress allowed them to sit first, and they found their own places and sat down.

Jiang Wuyou sat beside Jiang Wang, their usual order was disrupted, so they sat quite casually.

Chen Fu was a man who appeared very intelligent, with deep eyes and slightly graying temples. After offering incense, he chose a spot behind the Crown Prince and sat down.

Xiu Yuan, who possessed both gentleness and sharpness, sat down in a chair beside Jiang Wang after silently searching for one.

In Linzi, among the military and political high-ranking officials, others might not have to attend, but he absolutely had to. After all, it was Jiang Wuqian who lay in the coffin at this moment, who had cleared his name.

Cao Jie still wore that expression of misery, silently sitting next to Chen Fu.

Of the three, Jiang Wang only knew Cao Jie. He had met Chen Fu a few times, but Xiu Yuan was the first time he saw him.

With regard to Jiang Wang's meaningful gaze, the three prominent figures all responded with kindness. As for the undercurrents between Empress Daqi and the mistress of Huaying Palace, they pretended not to see them.

Born in winter, death brings snow to the whole city.

A voice, full of awe and wonder, echoed outside the hall.

Then, amidst such an atmosphere, Qi’s ninth prince, Jiang Wu Xie, stepped into the mourning hall.

Here's the text translated into English, keeping the HTML tags:```html

``` Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He looked at the coffin placed in the hall and sighed, "Even with a real person buried with him, a divine presence grieving blood, how could it be worthy of you, Jiang Wuqi"

Today, I saw Jiang Wuxie again. He was dressed in mourning clothes, his long hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. The slightly eccentric and unrestrained air he usually had was subdued.

He walked slowly to the coffin, placed a teardrop-shaped white jade into it, right against Jiang Wuqidi's foot.

Then, she bowed before the Empress by the coffin and said, "Your Majesty, please be strong. Do not grieve too deeply."

"Innocent..." The Empress looked at this exceptionally handsome prince and said in a gentle voice, "What did you give to Wujì"

"Soul Jade," Jiang Wu Xie softly said, "Though I know it's of little use... It's something to rely on after all."

The Soul Repose Jade is a precious artifact suitable for cultivating one's soul. Jiang Wu Xie doesn't know where he found it, but he casually treats it as Jiang Wu Qi's burial object, which shows how much he cares.

Thus far, all the eligible princes of the Da Qi royal family have arrived here.

In memory of Jiang Wuqi.
