The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 29

"Haha! You are my proud son!"

At this moment the Jiang Family was happy with Jiang Qingyuan's achievements. The one who uttered the words of appreciation earlier was the father of Jiang Qingyuan, Great General Jiang Wei. Perhaps now he could be called a former General, because a year ago Jiang Wei decided to quit the military and hand it over to Jiang Qingyuan.

Jiang Qingyuan was the first child of Jiang Wei's official wife. Jiang Wei had one official wife and 4 concubines. But he only had a son from his wife. To that end, even though his concubines had already given birth to a child, Jiang Qingyuan's mother's position remained firm and the children of that first wife were the most respected ones.

The old general was very proud and placed great hopes on his eldest son. Jiang Wei was confident that in the future Jiang Qingyuan would become a great General like him.

"Thank you Father," Jiang Qingyuan did not know what else to say.

Jiang Wei's gaze then turned to next to Jiang Qingyuan, where his second son was sitting and silent from earlier. "Look at your brother! You should be able to follow it. It's not that it keeps making trouble every day. Will you be an unfilial child forever? "

Jiang Zhi was only speechless to hear her father's scolding going into her left ear and then out of her right ear. He might have gotten used to his father's more considerate attitude towards Jiang Qingyuan.

Jiang Qingyuan who saw her sister being scolded, felt no heart. "Dad, please don't be mad at Zhi's sister. Maybe he has his own choice. Now he's hurt too. Please don't make him more depressed."

Hearing that Jiang Qingyuan was defending her younger brother, Jiang Wei was even angrier. "What choice? The choice to make trouble? If only the Mo family had not forgiven him, maybe our relationship with that family could have been damaged because of this child!"

Jiang Qingyuan did not give up. "Dad, he's a descendant of our family. Our family has the nature of not going to attack if no one provokes. Brother Zhi probably had a reason why he hit Young Master Mo."

Young Master Mo in question was Mo Heixue, the Second Young Master of the Mo family, the younger brother of Mo Wuyue. That afternoon during the reception, Jiang Zhi beat Mo Heixue to a pulp at a gambling house. The two Young Lords had a bad reputation in the capital, so when the fight broke out, people immediately reported it to the Jiang and Mo family's residence.

As Jiang Wei heard his son making trouble again, he hurriedly went to the scene and found Jiang Zhi sitting on Mo Heixue's unconscious stomach.

The two were then separated and returned to their respective homes after the two families agreed to discuss this incident when Mo Heixue realized.

When the Second Young Master came to his senses, he explained that Jiang Zhi had beaten him for no reason. Jiang Zhi was actually also asked why she hit Mo Heixue, but she did not reply and instead looked at Mo Heixue ferociously. Jiang Wei then slapped him and scolded Jiang Zhi in front of the Mo family, no matter that the state of his own son was not much better than Mo Heixue. "Children don't know in profit! What's that look, huh?"

This was the first time Jiang Wei had slapped him. In the past when he made trouble and troubled Jiang Wei, that father would only punish him by being locked up for a few days. He thought that his father had withstood all his frustration by not punishing him severely for his mother. But today is different. Jiang Wei was on the cusp of being vexed at Jiang Zhi, so he did not care about anything else.

"Sister, don't speak to defend me again. If you think I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. It has nothing to do with my sister." After saying that, Jiang Zhi left from there.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei was really annoyed at Jiang Zhi. He felt that the authority and decisiveness he had as a former General was useless when facing the child. "Look at your sister you've always defended. What future does he have?"

Jiang Zhi had not gone far, so she could clearly hear her father's words. His lips he bit himself until it bled and he also clenched his hands so that his fingernails whitened. His face was a complicated expression.

He walked towards the east where the Eldest Princess lived. In the courtyard of the princess residence, there grew many white flowers that still bloomed in autumn, making people look like snow fields. The wooden doors are white and the walls are white. Every time he came, Jiang Zhi felt herself in a vacuum and the thought made her heart ache.

Without knocking, Jiang Zhi went straight in and found her sister embroidering. When she heard the door open, the girl in the room turned her head and found her brother coming. He greeted Jiang Zhi with his carefree smile. "Sister, I heard that First Brother has been given a gift by the Emperor. Is that true?"

This topic was a sensitive topic for Jiang Zhi. Maybe if someone else said that, he would beat her up until her father didn't recognize her. But, the one who asked was the Eldest Princess of the Jiang Residence, her most beloved sister, Jiang Baixi.

Pretending to be sad, Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Baixi. "I came but you asked someone else. My heart really hurts."

Comforted by Jiang Zhi's behavior, Jiang Baixi could not help but laugh. "Haha. All right, brother, come here. I'll treat you."

"Dad must have scolded you. But don't put it in your heart. You know that he's not serious?" Jiang Baixi spoke while treating her brother's wounds.

"I'm used to dad. You don't have to worry."

Hearing Jiang Zhi's reply, Jiang Baixi spoke while joking. "Who's worried about you? I'm just worried that next year you won't keep your promise."

Speaking of promise, Jiang Zhi's face suddenly turned serious. He gently clasped Jiang Baixi's hand and looked at her with eyes full of certainty. "I'll definitely take you out on the streets next year."

"Sister, I was just kidding. You know that's impossible, right?" Looking at Jiang Zhi who turned serious, Jiang Baixi could no longer joke around.

"I'll definitely take you out next year in the spring. We will see flowers that bloom in various colors and see the moonlight by boarding a boat on the lake. Brother Bai, big brother will definitely keep it."

Seeing Jiang Zhi say with complete confidence, Jiang Baixi did not have the heart to crush that hope. "alright. I'll wait for next year." Or all my life.

It's getting dark. The sun then completely sunk. The oil lamps are lit and make all the houses bright. But on this night, the light was brighter as many lit torches on the road to the Palace.

At this time, some large numbers of people came to the Palace area. They in simple clothes sat on the seats that the Palace provided. Then some of the Palace's servants came and served food to the people.

Luxurious carriages crossed the crowd, and made the eating people distract him. Inside the carriage contained the nobles present at the Palace Banquet.

"Mother, in the future I'll buy a car for you." At this moment, a small child dressed shabbily and in tatters said to his mother. She is thin and seems to be malnourished. But her childish face was so carefree. The mother smiled and said. "Then, you must be diligent in studying so that you can take the Imperial examination. By the time you graduate and become an official at the Palace, you can buy whatever you want."

The boy seemed to know what his mother meant. "Let's just relax, I'll definitely be an official." Fate cannot be changed, like he was born into a poor family, but fate is not! In the future he believes his life will change if he tries hard.

On the other hand, in a room in the palace.

"System, you haven't counted my points. I'm not leaving until you count."

Xie Hongyi was currently finished dressing up wearing red clothes and hair ornaments as well as some things that served to beautify his face. He only left to go into the hall where the banquet was, but he did not leave because the system had not counted his points.

Right now the system might say, "I don't care if you go or not. That's none of my business."

[Congratulations for completing the mission. 100 points have been added to your account. Additional mission bonus: 50 points. You currently have 380 points in your account.]

Careful or not, the system still met Xie Hongyi's wishes.

"What about my experience?"

[Now you have reached level 3 junior. 200 exp is required to reach the next level.]

After being satisfied with the system's answer, Xie Hongyi finally went to the banquet with his three servants.
