After the meeting of the canal, although Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanrong met again, the relationship between the two was already very cold, and Ji Ning never thought that he would have such a chance to talk to Zhao Yuanrong in private.

The social status is there, one is a princess who is high, and he himself is an ordinary lifter, and he has not even been admitted to the Jinshi.

When Ji Ning faced Zhao Yuanrong, he would have a very distant feeling in his heart, just like a person facing an unattainable goal.

"Your Highness the Princess!" This time, Ji Ning came up with very respectful words and saluted directly.

"Actually, this palace still wants you to treat me as an ordinary person, not as a princess, we can sit down and talk about something, what does Ji Gongzi think?" Zhao Yuanrong said in a consultative tone.

Ji Ning shook his head slightly and said: "I'm just a grass people, as a grass people, how can I be on an equal footing with the princess?" What's the matter with the princess, it's better to say it, and I'm going to go back to the house to rest late at night, if the princess doesn't have anything too much, I'll leave in the next day! ”

"You will always give people this kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, if you don't know, you still think that you are a heartless person, only people who know each other know that you are an unpredictable man!" Zhao Yuanrong's evaluation of Ji Ning is neither high nor low, nor does he use the tone and attitude of a friend, but it is like a close friend, or even a relative, and this feeling also makes Ji Ning unpredictable.

Ji Ning didn't speak, he felt that Zhao Yuanrong seemed to be a difficult thing to solve, so he came to ask him for advice, Zhao Yuanrong is also very particular about cutting through the mess on weekdays, once a thing cannot be dealt with for a long time, this matter must be very tricky.

Zhao Yuanrong said: "I want you to help Bengong do one thing for reference and suggestions." ”

Ji Ning said: "Do you really have such a ability to help the princess?" Or wouldn't it be better for the princess to ask someone else for help? It's really hard to climb high in such an identity! ”

"You asked Hongu to find someone else? Who can I find? Alas! Don't look at the palace looks beautiful, but at best it is just an ordinary princess, those ministers in the court will not take refuge, because the palace is a princess, it is impossible to inherit the unification in the future, and the crown prince and the five princes have a large number of supporters around them, who can give them advice. Zhao Yuanrong said, "There is something in this palace, in addition to being able to discuss with his subordinates, there is not even a strategist around, and even if there is, it is some unqualified wine bags and rice bags, their control of the current situation is not even as good as this palace, what can this palace expect from them?" ”

Ji Ning can probably understand Zhao Yuanrong's distress.

Among so many people in the imperial court, Ji Ning admires Zhao Yuanrong the most, Zhao Yuanrong has her own logic of doing things, and even has the courage to do big things, and has foresight, in Ji Ning's opinion, if Zhao Yuanrong is a man, he even has the potential to be a king.

Zhao Yuanrong's misfortune, she is a daughter, so that she is basically excluded from the succession to the throne, even if the emperor will move the mind of passing on the throne to the princess, many ministers in the court who respect etiquette will also oppose it, whether it is the emperor or Zhao Yuanrong, they have to withstand a lot of pressure.

A capable person is overwhelmed by the cold in a high place, just like Zhao Yuanrong.

There are very few people who can really subdue Zhao Yuanrong, and Ji Ning is one of them, because Ji Ning surpasses Zhao Yuanrong in terms of talent and resourcefulness, which even Zhao Yuanrong has to admit.

Ji Ning said: "It's just a matter of raising people in the lower places, and it won't help the princess much." ”

"You're humbling!" Zhao Yuanrong said, "That's it, you don't want to do things for this palace, and this palace doesn't force you, but if this palace has something, I still want to sit down with you and discuss it, every time you are an advisor to this palace, every time this palace pays you, how about it?" ”

Ji Ning squinted, he was still a little puzzled by this kind of fee-based consultant method, he thought to himself: "What kind of embarrassment is Princess Wenren encountering, and she wants to use this way to find someone to counsel?" ”

"Say it." Ji Ning said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong said: "Mr. Ji didn't ask about the conditions of the remuneration first, does it meet your needs?" ”

Ji Ning smiled and said: "I still trust the princess's sincerity, since the princess took the initiative to put it forward, the conditions must not be much worse." The princess can just mention the matter! ”

"Okay, I'll say it!" Zhao Yuanrong said, "The cause of the incident is that after the palace left the capital and went to Jiangnan, my father ...... That is, today's saint accidentally got the ice coffin, and it is said that in the ice coffin, there is a woman who is particularly like the queen mother, which makes the saint obsessed. In order to melt the ice coffin and wake up the woman inside, the father tried all kinds of methods, and even asked people to find oracle bone inscriptions, as well as some special Taoist and Confucian methods...... It hasn't worked. ”

"My father has reached the point of being obsessed with this woman, and he has not been to the court for nearly two months, and the big and small affairs in the court have either been abandoned or left to the ministers of the court to deal with, and there are even vassal kings who intend to mistreat the royal family!" When Zhao Yuanrong said this, she paused and said, "Even King Chong has a small move towards the saint...... What does Mr. Ji think? ”

Ji Ning didn't expect Zhao Yuanrong to say it so thoroughly, he said: "The princess knew that she was very close to the prince of Chongwang, and she also informed her about it?" ”

"That's right, it is precisely because you are close to the prince of Chongwang that this palace has always had doubts before, whether to discuss this matter with you, but this palace's attitude towards you is not like you want to get too close to the people of Chongwangfu, in response to what you said, your goal should be in the Temple of Literature, not the court, instead of doubting you, it is better to ask your opinion, I believe you can say some pertinent opinions to help this palace!" Zhao Yuanrong said.

Ji Ning shook his head and said, "I don't really understand, the princess mentioned these things with you, what do you want to do for the princess?" Whether the saint is obsessed with religion or something, it is all in the palace, and the lower body is outside the palace walls, so how can it not be involved? ”

"Has Mr. Na Ji ever thought about how to get His Majesty out of the control of those treacherous people?" Zhao Yuanrong asked.

Ji Ning squinted his eyes and said, "What does the princess mean, is His Majesty's obsession with the ice coffin woman from the bewitchment of others?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanrong nodded, "That's probably the case, that's the conspiracy behind the five princes, in the royal family, although the prince and the palace were born to the same mother, but there are not too many brothers and sisters on weekdays, as for the five princes, they are not fellow travelers with my brothers and sisters, in such an environment, each is desperately trying to bewitch the saint for the sake of power, so that the saint will be confused by the demon." Ji Ning, you are just a person, and you are also a person outside the world, this palace wants to use your strength to work for this palace, which is also a forced move! ”
