Li Xiu'er's illness is still fermenting in the capital, and Ji Ning is going to make this matter known all over the city.

Only in this way will Li Jing give up the idea of sending his daughter to the palace, and he will not even be able to marry Li Xiuer to marry the dignitaries in the capital.

Ji Ning knew that with Li Jing's background, he really needed to find someone to shelter in the court, so he would do everything possible to try to tie up with the prince, try to send his daughter to the palace, and try to contact the dignitaries in the court.

As the selection of show girls in the palace is about to take place, Ji Ning knows that Li Jing will have to make a choice to see if he dares to send his sick daughter to the palace.

In this matter, Zhao Yuanrong will also help Ji Ning relatively well.

Zhao Yuanrong also knew that this Miss Li family was likely to be the confidante of her nominal husband, although she minded the relationship between Ji Ning and Li Xiu'er very much, but she also wanted Ji Ning to marry a good woman who was knowledgeable and reasonable, which was also very important for her to continue to maintain a relationship with Ji Ning in the future.

So in Zhao Yuanrong's view, Li Xiuer's background and morality make her qualified to become Ji Ning's wife, so Zhao Yuanrong has also been helping Ji Ning.

Therefore, Ji Ning didn't have to worry too much, he had already expected that Li Jing would not dare to send his daughter to the palace.

Now he can concentrate on another thing, that is, quickly find a way to contact King Chong, so that Zhao Yuanrong and King Chong can form a line.

This is also the prerequisite for Qi Niang to agree to defect, after all, King Chong will return to Jinling City soon, and now King Chong is also trying to find a way to stay in the capital, after all, after returning to the Jinling fiefdom, it will mean that he King Chong will temporarily stay away from the core of the court, which is also what King Chong does not want to see.

The crown prince Zhao Yuangeng definitely doesn't want King Chong to stay and become his confidant, even if Zhao Yuanrong and King Chong are still allies, Zhao Yuangeng will definitely not help King Chong in this matter.

And Ji Ning just wanted to gain King Chong's trust by helping King Chong stay in the capital, and then pull King Chong into Zhao Yuanrong's camp.

……

……

Ji Ning could not get in touch with King Chong directly, so the method he chose was to get in touch with Zhao Yuanqi, the son of King Chong, first, so as to obtain the specific news of King Chong's departure from Beijing first.

Zhao Yuanqi said that he was about to leave for Jinling, but maybe King Chong found some way to stay in the capital for the time being, but after the vassal kings left one after another, King Chong and King Hui were left in the capital.

King Hui's side is waiting for the final court's judgment and ruling, while King Chong's side stays in the capital, which is intriguing.

The place where Ji Ning invited Zhao Yuanqi was in a teahouse, the surroundings were very secluded, not a busy city, Zhao Yuanqi came with his entourage, and did not bring his sister, maybe Zhao Yuanqi also felt that Zhao Yuanxuan was making trouble outside, so it was better not to tell Zhao Yuanxuan about it.

“…… Yongning looks good, I want to live a very comfortable life in the Temple of Literature, right? It's a great place to recuperate. Zhao Yuanqi was very happy when he saw Ji Ning, after all, he has always valued Ji Ning very much, when Ji Ning was just a shadow talent, he felt that Ji Ning was a talent that could be created, "Yongning, when will you return to Jinling?" When the time comes, you can be a companion and take care of it on the road! ”

Ji Ning invited Zhao Yuanqi to sit down, and gave Zhao Yuanqi tea, and said, "The specific date of the return trip has not yet been decided, but it is expected to be on these days." I just entered the Confucian Temple, and many things still need to be settled down first, plus most of my parents and relatives are no longer there, even if I go back to Jinling City, I just take a walk, in fact, it is not so urgent! ”

"That's right!" Zhao Yuanqi said with emotion, "As the saying goes, parents are not far away, and Yongning and your hall have already gone to the immortal, in fact, there are a lot of fetters invisibly, and the most important thing is to settle down in the capital first." By the way, Huaizhu and I, this girl, are going to leave for Jinling City in early May, you can also arrange your own plans first, if it is suitable, we can go together......"

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Why did you leave so late?" ”

Zhao Yuanqi didn't know that Ji Ning was testing him, and said very frankly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my father made some contributions in the rebellion of King Hui and Uncle Li before, and the court still intends to reward him." I don't know what's going on with this matter at all, and now even if my father wants to stay, there is no need for our brothers and sisters to continue to stay in the capital, after a long time away from home, I miss it a little, after all, ...... Hehe, as you know, I've already started a family, and now I'm alone in the capital, and my family will always miss it! ”

Ji Ning smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yuanqi, as the son of Chongwang, actually got married very early, but he has never had children, Zhao Yuanqi's personality belongs to the free and easy like to make friends, Zhao Yuanqi also made friends in Jinling City, even if he came to the capital, he did not forget to make a few more friends.

Although Zhao Yuanqi is good at making friends, he will always miss his wife who is far away in Jinling, and Zhao Yuanqi also has concubines, and now he is inevitably lonely and lonely in the capital alone.

"Yongning is going to be in the Temple of Literature in the future, and he will be an idle person with peace of mind?" Zhao Yuanqi was very curious, "Your days are inevitably too monotonous, if you have time in the future, you can go back to Jinling City more often, or when you go back to the Confucian Temple, you can also strive to be transferred to the vicinity of Jinling, even if you can't work for the Chongwang Mansion, you can also be a friend, drink more!" ”

Ji Ning said: "The invitation of the prince, remember it below, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must drink and talk happily!" ”

"Alas! Speaking of which, I have known you for two years, and in the past two years, you have changed a lot, and now you have become the champion of the Great Yong Dynasty, entering the Temple of Literature to do things, but unfortunately we don't know anyone in the Temple of Literature in Chongwangfu, otherwise I can help you talk about it! Zhao Yuanqi looked a little regretful and said, "But if you have the heart to come out as an official, I can ask my father to help you talk about it, with your ability, being an official in the court is actually much better than being in the Temple of Literature." You also think about it! ”

Ji Ning said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the world, after winning the top prize in the next exam, many people have said similar things to Zaixia, but in the next step, I want to inherit my father's legacy and strive to make achievements in the Temple of Literature, instead of intriguing with others in the court." However, when it comes to the power of their own stability, they will also pay more attention to it in the future......"

Ji Ning felt that there was always a gap between him and Zhao Yuanqi, mainly because of the different positions.

This does not involve his attitude towards Zhao Yuanqi, but Zhao Yuanqi's father, Chongwang, which is the most dangerous hero in the dynasty.

Ji Ning wanted to guard against King Chong's rebellion in the future, but now Zhao Yuanrong had to temporarily cooperate with King Chong in order to gain more support from forces.

He didn't want to hide his old friend, so he explained his position.

It's not that he doesn't care about the court, if it's about himself, he will also serve the power scheme.
