Chapter 716: Night Meeting (I)

On the afternoon of April 15th, there was an event in the city to send the envoys of Fanbang out of the capital, and many people would come to see the people of Fanbang pay tribute to leave as the people of the Heavenly Empire. Eighty-one? Chinese ≈=≤.=8=1≈Z=≠.COM

According to the meaning of Li Xiu'er's previous letter, she was going to take advantage of this event to come out and meet with Ji Ning and talk about her own entry into the palace.

But after Ji Ning arrived at the meeting place that day, he waited all afternoon, but no one came.

Li Xiu'er released his Ji Ning's pigeons, and Ji Ning was not angry, because he knew that it was probably because Li Xiu'er couldn't leave the house, so he missed the appointment.

"This Miss Li, the tone of her conversation with me before was clearly that she didn't want to enter the palace, and it seemed that I wanted to help her. But now that I can't get her own willingness and permission, it's always too difficult for me to help her......"

Ji Ning looked at the sunset and dusk scenery outside, and suddenly felt a little sad.

A young girl of flower age, before she can taste the happiness and happiness of the world, is already about to enter the palace gate and stay within the red wall for the rest of her life...... Ji Ning feels pitiful for Li Xiu'er when he thinks about it, although he doesn't know the true identity of this Li Xiu'er, but he doesn't want such a girl to taste the grievances of the world.

But Ji Ning wants to help Li Xiu'er now, but he is still not right.

After bringing Li Xiuer out, where to send it is also a question, he is a bit of a person who wants to abduct people.

It's not realistic to tell Li Jing, he Ji Ning and Li Xiu'er are at most "friends", this kind of relationship is not adopted by mainstream thought in this era, you are an unmarried man, and your unmarried daughter is a friend, it is a shameful thing to say it, and it will make people misunderstand what unclean things your daughter has done.

"Master, do you want to go back?" Li 6 appeared beside Ji Ning and asked.

Li 6 has been waiting downstairs, this time he was responsible for rushing out to send Ji Ning, seeing that Ji Ning had no intention of leaving, he went up to the second floor of the teahouse to take a look, and also asked Ji Ning for advice.

Ji Ning glanced at Li 6 and said, "It's almost time, let's go." Sixth son, go back and take people to the water bridge of Chongwenmen, before Lin Er said that a warehouse had just been established over there, and the affairs of the Giant Whale Gang would also be dealt with over there in the future......"

Because Li Xiuer's affairs have not been settled, when Ji Ning explains some things to Li 6, he will also think about Li Xiuer's affairs.

Li 6 didn't know that Ji Ning was thinking about some miscellaneous things, he just wrote down everything according to Ji Ning's instructions, and prepared to go back and do it in detail according to Ji Ning's instructions.

……

……

That night, Ji Ning cleaned up his mood and went to Zhao Yuanrong's princess's mansion to see Zhao Yuanrong.

This is after he took Nalan Fuxue to break into the princess's mansion, and he came to the door again.

When he came to the door this time, Zhao Yuanrong had already prepared a very convenient passage for him, on the west side of the princess's mansion, there was an old tree, and Ji Ning didn't use Nalan to blow snow to help, so he climbed up directly, as if he was a thief, and jumped into the princess's mansion.

Zhao Yuanrong usually slept very late, she didn't expect Ji Ning to suddenly come to the door, and even when Ji Ning appeared in front of her, she felt surprised.

"You...... No one notices you're coming? Zhao Yuanrong felt surprised.

Ji Ning is just a literati, and she can come and go freely in her princess's mansion, if she changes those assassins with strong martial arts, wouldn't she be able to use her mansion as a back garden?

"There are still certain problems with the security layout of the princess's mansion!" Ji Ning said, "There should be some secret sentinels, and the focus of defense should be on your study and bedroom, after all, you don't have many people under your hands, if you continue to use the entire mansion as a defense, you don't have many people, and it is easy to cause negligence in patrolling!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Ji Ning with some hesitation and said, "I still think it's good......"

Ji Ning smiled and said, "Then I'll help you arrange it later!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanrong nodded, and his eyes suddenly showed a little attachment to Ji Ning.

When Ji Ning was about to say something, Zhao Yuanrong suddenly stepped forward, covered Ji Ning's mouth with his fingers, and said, "Let's talk ......about it when I go in if I have something to say."

Zhao Yuanrong took Ji Ning into the secret room, because it was not the first time to come, Ji Ning was also familiar with the mechanism of the secret room, and when he entered it, Ji Ning now had a small embroidered couch behind the screen, which should be where Zhao Yuanrong rested in the secret room.

Seeing Ji Ning looking at his embroidered couch, Zhao Yuanrong's face was slightly embarrassed, and said: "In the past, I was afraid of being assassinated, so I lived here, but now the princess's mansion is not safe, so I habitually choose a small residence as my resting place!" ”

Ji Ning nodded slightly, he could feel that this princess didn't seem to have a sense of security by nature, because many people were calculating her and even trying to harm her.

Zhao Yuanrong didn't sit down, turned to look at Ji Ning directly, and said, "Ji Ning, what are you doing this time?" ”

"There are some things I want to discuss with you, but I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to say it elsewhere, so I can only come in person, and I haven't even mentioned to Nalan what I'm going to come today!" Ji Ning said.

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanrong smiled and said, "It seems that my mansion, you are going to come in the future, and you are also familiar with the road......

Ji Ning knew that Zhao Yuanrong would always have some mind about this kind of thing.

Because Zhao Yuanrong didn't want to make this relationship public, Ji Ning came to the door three times and twice, and it was easy to expose Xingzang.

Ji Ning said: "This time, in addition to the rebellion between King Hui and Uncle Li, there is another matter that involves a friend from before...... I want to know something, it's about the show girl entering the palace......"

"Show girl?" When Zhao Yuanrong heard this word, his face looked very bad, "My father has done a lot of ridiculous things over the years, and the draft girl is one of them, and he used to be a good son of heaven who was diligent in government and loved the people, but these years have ...... It's all about indulging in fun. The draft girl, according to the rules, is once every three years, but it will still be added halfway, the show girl will carry out the final Beijing election in May this year, which is commonly known as the palace selection, all the candidates for the show girl will have about three or four hundred people, and finally about fifty to seventy people will stay in the palace as a concubine to cultivate...... There are dozens of show girls that my father has accepted over the years......"

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Then dare to ask the princess, who will lead this matter?" ”

"Who else could it be? Long Cheng, or the rest of the eunuchs in the palace, these people are known for being greedy for money, and they are not men, so they can't be lustful, otherwise...... Hmph, as for the primary election outside the palace, it is carried out by the local government and Honglu Temple, and the primary election in the capital is completed by Jingzhao Mansion......"

Zhao Yuanrong was by Ji Ning's side, and she always felt that she didn't have much right to speak, but it was rare that she knew but Ji Ning didn't know this time, so she explained everything to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning also knew some details of the draft girl.
