Chapter 760: Vital Interests
The fourth day of the fifth month is the day when the palace selects show girls. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang? (a) ?. (8) 8?1 (1) Z?(8) .COM
On this day, all the show girls will enter the palace from Dong'an Gate to conduct a selection of palace maids, and all the three or four hundred show girls who participate in the election will eventually have about 30 to 70 people stay in the palace and become the "princesses" in the palace.
Ji Ning rests every ten days, and he happens to rest on this day, so he can focus more on the selection of show girls.
What he cares about is naturally Li Jing's Li Mansion.
Li Xiu'er was sick before, and Li Jing had no choice but to find someone to replace Li Xiu'er in the palace, but Ji Ning couldn't make a direct judgment on the way of substitution.
Ji Ning guessed that Li Jing was likely to use two methods.
One is to directly find someone to replace Li Xiuer, treat his real daughter as a stranger, and use someone else to become his daughter and send her to the palace.
This method is tantamount to the crime of bullying the king, Li Jing must bear the risk behind this matter, because he found this daughter, not necessarily with him, even if he makes this woman gain power in the palace through his own efforts in the future, he may not be able to guarantee that this woman will always help him to the end.
If he is not his own, how can others serve him to death?
The second way is to find someone to replace Li Xiuer in the palace in the way of a "righteous daughter".
This method is more stable than the first way, Li Jing can accept it, but it is relatively difficult to operate, because he initially signed up for his own biological daughter, and suddenly changed to a "righteous daughter" on the spot, he is not easy to explain to the people in the palace, and he is not easy to say about the emperor.
Overall, there are risks associated with both approaches.
Li Jing actually has a third way to choose, but Ji Ning guesses that Li Jing will definitely not go, that is, to give up Li Xiu'er and enter the palace.
Li Jing has no power in the court now, he can only hope to send his daughter to the palace Youzhan, and even become a concubine or a queen, and then he can justifiably become the national abbot, Li Jing has been planning for so long, he definitely doesn't want to give up, Ji Ning also grasped Li Jing's pulse, knowing Li Jing's personality, almost what Li Jing is going to do next, it can be regarded as a clear idea.
What Ji Ning is most afraid of now is that Li Jingjue will be found by Li Xiuer pretending to be sick, if Li Jing knows that his daughter is pretending to be sick, he will basically not consider his daughter's position, and he will still send Li Xiuer into the palace.
Ji Ning thought to herself: "Although my plan is not bad, but Li Jing is an old fox after all, he may be able to think of this link, and Li Xiu'er may be unbearable for her father, if it is exposed by herself, it will also be a problem." This matter must also be known to people around Li Xiuer, such as her maid Yuzhen, once this matter is revealed, then Li Xiuer's situation will be very dangerous, and it will be difficult for me to rescue her. ”
Coming out of his house, Ji Ning seemed to be strolling leisurely, all the way to the direction of the palace Dong'anmen, he wanted to find a wine shop close to Dong'anmen to settle down, drink a cup of tea, like a tourist, but in fact, it was to investigate the situation of the show girl entering the palace.
Ji Ning also sent someone to the Li family to keep an eye on it, once he felt that there was something wrong, he could even rob people halfway, and now the top priority was to ask for a certificate to be sent to the palace whether it was Li Xiu'er or not.
When he sat down, he called for a cup of tea, and before the tea was cold, he felt that someone had come upstairs, this person was dressed in men's clothes, he looked heroic and very personable, and there was a sense of arrogance between his gestures, and after he came over, he stood in front of Ji Ning for a while, then smiled and sat down.
It was Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong.
Ji Ning said: "Why are you here?" ”
"Can't you come?" Zhao Yuanrong said with a smile, "You're worried about your confidante, I'll take a look at my potential competitors, which can be regarded as a courtesy exchange...... Ha, you don't have to look at me like that! Ji Ning, you usually look calm and composed, I rarely see your embarrassment, I can see your current expression, it is worth my visit. ”
Ji Ning felt that Zhao Yuanrong was here to add to the chaos.
However, he himself admits that when he needs people's care the most, there are people around him to discuss with him, and even talk about some things without reservation, which will make him feel a lot more comfortable, and even in terms of planning, he can also be beneficial through consultation with others.
But in terms of face, Ji Ning was still slightly embarrassed.
In the end, Zhao Yuanrong is also his own woman, the relationship between the two is very close, and Li Xiu'er is likely to be his confidante, Ji Ning will feel that there is something and don't know how to tell Zhao Yuanrong.
Zhao Yuanrong said: "Ji Ning, you don't have to have any pressure, since I am here, I will let go of it in my heart, the matter between you and Miss Li is also my business, I have the responsibility to choose a suitable woman to be your wife, as for what the reason, you should also be very clear!" ”
"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded in understanding.
His marriage with Li Xiuer, it seems that Zhao Yuanrong should not interfere, but it actually involves Zhao Yuanrong's most vital interests.
Although Ji Ning has maintained a secret husband and wife relationship with her, but the two do not have the name of husband and wife after all, Ji Ning's real wife is Ji Ning's confidante, that is, the "Su Pujia" that Ji Ning has been obsessed with before, if this person is Li Xiuer, then Ji Ning's relationship with his wife, and the help provided by his wife behind Ji Ning's back, will be related to Ji Ning's attitude towards Zhao Yuanrong in the future.
Zhao Yuanrong said: "Then how much do you know about draft girls now?" ”
Ji Ning said: "As far as I know now, Li Jing, the head of the household, has found a young lady from a merchant family from the people, and is ready to pretend to be his own daughter. Today is likely to send this young lady from the merchant family into the palace! ”
Zhao Yuanrong pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm." It is expected that Li Jing should be the same, if he rashly goes to find a girl from a small family, it is difficult to have the temperament of a scholarly family, let alone everyone's demeanor, it is easy to be recognized after entering the palace, and it is impossible for those young ladies from wealthy families to accept his proposal, he went to talk to a wealthy but no status merchant family, which is just right! ”
In fact, Ji Ning had analyzed these things before, and he wouldn't think it was so unusual.
"Regarding the fate of Miss Li in the future, it is not clear for the time being, I just used the method of pretending to be sick to let her get by, if Li Jing finds out that his daughter is pretending to be sick, Miss Li's status in the Li family will plummet in the future, and even Li Jing may use Li Xiuer to marry someone, but at that time, it is still unknown in what capacity Miss Li will marry!" Ji Ning analyzed.
Zhao Yuanrong didn't say anything this time.
Ji Ning said again: "The next idea is to help Miss Li leave the Li family, let her become a person who has nothing to do with the Li Mansion from now on, and then marry her into the door." But before I do that, I still have to know if she is the Miss Su I love! ”
