Chapter 3 — After Reconciliation, I Was Appointed County King

"Three days later there will be a flower reward party. Whoever finds the jade pendant that the Queen Mother loves in the apricot garden, the Queen Mother will unconditionally grant that person's request." My heart immediately lightened, I was extremely lucky because the Queen Mother was willing to give me the opportunity. Now, just waiting for the flower reward party three days later. For the next three days, Giang So Uyen was probably entangled by Ve Lang Tu and did not come to bother me anymore. I'm also happy to be quiet. On the day of the flower reward party, before departure, Giang So Uyen finally showed up. Next to her, there was also Ve Lang Tu who went to the party. The flower reward party organized by the Queen Mother has always been bustling, with carriages from different palaces connecting endlessly, making the hall extremely bustling. Giang So Uyen helped me into the door, carefully brushed off the snow for me, served tea and poured water, attentive to every detail. When I mentioned separation, she seemed to have never heard of it. Her care for me still attracts many eyes. I felt a lot of disdainful looks falling on me, and there were still people openly mocking me. "It was spread throughout the capital that Lord Pei Tac Du took advantage of Lord Jiang's time when he was out on business, and actually secretly flirted with someone else." "Hell, he doesn't know good or bad like that, he's not worthy of Lord Jiang being nice to him." "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's embarrassment, I'm afraid Master Jiang would have retired Bui Tac Du a long time ago." "I heard that the Queen Mother dropped the phoenix jade pendant." If anyone finds it, they can ask the Queen Mother for a wish. If Lord Giang gets the jade pendant, he will definitely ask the Queen Mother for permission to retire Bui Tac Du, right?" Amidst those harsh discussions, Jiang So Uyen's cold voice rang out in my ear. "Husband, Lang Tu is afraid of the cold, please give up and let him sit inside." I turned my head to face Giang So Uyen's silent urging eyes. I laughed sarcastically, stood up and left, going to the apricot garden. I can't stand it anymore. Find the jade pendant a little sooner, and separate with Giang So Uyen a little sooner. Heavy snow flew everywhere, the wind was bone-chillingly cold. Until I almost lost consciousness in my arms and legs, I finally found the Queen Mother's jade pendant and phoenix inscription on the apricot branch. Picking up the jade pendant, the red piece of jade felt warm to the touch, and on it was an engraved scene of a peaceful phoenix. In the wind, there were a few scattered voices of discussion. "Who is the young master next to Mr. Giang, why did you specially break apricot for him?" "Dai Ngu has long said that breaking apricot is synonymous with choosing a beauty, giving someone apricot blossoms means loving that person in your heart, do you not know that Mr. Giang is a doctor?" review with Lord Giang." "If it weren't for Bui Tac Du stepping in, people would say it would have been three years since I carried the two of you." I stood in place, listening to everyone's whispers and discussions. His eyes fell on Giang So Uyen in the crowd. She was holding a few apricot branches, with her other hand supporting Ve Lang Tu, preventing him from stepping on the snow and slipping. They look more like a couple supporting each other. Noticing my gaze, Giang So Uyen raised her eyes and looked over, slightly stunned, then strode towards me. I also pulled out an apricot branch and put it in my hand. "These apricot branches are broken for Lang Tu, I can only give you one branch." "Don't be greedy." I heard it and found it absurd. Do you think I came to the apricot garden to claim the apricot blossoms in your hand? I raised my hand and threw away the apricot branch, glanced at Giang So Uyen, and said sarcastically: "I don't bother sharing things with others." Apricot flowers are like that, so are women. Having finished speaking, I turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ve Lang Tu. He raised his hand to snatch the jade pendant from my hand. "Tac Du, this jade pendant is engraved

"The jade pendant is so beautiful, is it okay to give it to me?" In Ve Lang Tu's eyes, there was a malice and provocation and a must-have look. I tightened my grip on the jade pendant, using all my strength to escape from Ve Lang Tu. Ve Lang Tu could not snatch the jade pendant, fell towards Giang So Uyen, and immediately felt sorry for himself and said: "Sho Uyen, I heard that the Queen Mother lost her beloved phoenix jade pendant, the person who finds the jade pendant will be rewarded by the Queen Mother. I have never seen what the Queen Mother's reward looks like..." "Tac Du has received the jade pendant, can you tell him to give me the jade pendant?" Having finished speaking, Giang So Uyen looked at the jade pendant in my hand. Almost without hesitation, she commanded: "Tac Du, give the jade pendant to Lang Tu." "You don't lack anything, this jade pendant is useless for you to keep." That matter-of-fact tone stabbed into my belly full of anger. I took the jade pendant. replied, looking straight into Giang So Uyen's eyes. "Who said I don't lack anything?" "I told you many times, I want to break up, but you pretended not to hear. This piece of jade pendant just let me take it and ask for grace from the Queen Mother." "After we separated, you don't need to pretend to like me anymore. If you want to marry Ve Lang Tu, feel free to do so." Perhaps only the Queen Mother's reputation is useful. This time, Giang So Uyen finally listened to me.
