Chapter 271: Choosing the Crown Princess

"Could it be that something happened in the palace that Concubine Yan needs Yan Ruyu to go back and help?" He Jingjing asked the prefect again.

"I haven't heard anything about the palace lately. The prefect recalled carefully again, the palace was nothing more than a battle between the powerful and ministers, as well as the harem.

The struggle between these old forces and newcomers has never stopped, so it is not a special matter, and the place where the storm is is located is the palace.

"Think about it again?" He Jingjing did not give up and continued to ask the prefect.

The prefect was a little speechless in his heart, but He Jingjing has always been his goddaughter, and he should think more about the things that his daughter explained.

"When you say that, there's something really different. The prefect slapped his head and suddenly remembered something that was not important.

"What?" He Jingjing became interested, and sat precariously waiting for the prefect's answer.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that the emperor wants to choose a princess for His Royal Highness the Prince. After the prefect finished speaking, he nodded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not too young, it's time to start a family and inherit the royal lineage. Seeing the prefect's face of agreement, He Jingjing remembered His Royal Highness the Prince's attitude towards his sister-in-law.

I always feel that the emperor's road to choosing a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more difficult.

With He Xiaoxiao's current conditions, if she wants to be the crown princess, it is absolutely impossible, Ye Haixuan and himself have no strength to compare with those families.

"What does this matter have to do with Yan Ruyu?" He Jingjing shook her head and began to make trouble again.

"Okay girl, I think you're thinking too much, maybe Concubine Yan really thinks about her niece, life is not only about intrigues, but also poetry and distance. Seeing that He Jingjing had been entangled, the prefect opened his mouth to persuade He Jingjing to relax.

He Jingjing also felt that she was a little stunned, since the lotus leaf building was burned, she always felt that there was a conspiracy against her.

"It's been a bit too stressful during this time. He Jingjing shook her head and threw out all her thoughts, and she was a little delusional.

"It just so happens that you are here today, your godmother stewed chicken soup, let's go drink some together." The prefect suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law stewed soup today, saying that he wanted to treat himself and replenish himself.

I haven't seen He Jingjing for a long time, and I don't have to think about it to know how terrible the workload is to rebuild the entire lotus leaf building in a month and double the expansion.

"You've worked hard during this time, and you should make up for it. The prefect took He Jingjing to the kitchen and looked at his busy wife.

"Godmother, I'll help you. He Jingjing is an idle person, seeing that his godmother was busy cutting green onions and sprinkling spices, He Jingjing walked to the stove and took over the work in the hands of the prefect's wife.

"Jingjing, you're back!" The prefect's wife was very surprised to see He Jingjing coming, and hurriedly took He Jingjing's hand and continued: "Why don't you come to say hello, I don't have enough soup today." ”

Hearing the prefect's wife say this, the prefect coughed twice in embarrassment, isn't this a little sudden, and He Jingjing also came back a little suddenly.

"It must be this old immortal who is hiding from me, I won't give him today's soup to drink, and one bowl for each of us is just right. As she spoke, the prefect's wife glanced at the prefect.

"Wronged, ma'am!" When the prefect heard that he had no soup to drink, he regretted bringing He Jingjing to the kitchen.

Looking at the flirting couple, He Jingjing felt very happy.

"Godfather, you are content, don't you have fun with such a good daughter-in-law?" He Jingjing joked with a smile.

He Jingjing cooked a few dishes for the prefect and the prefect's wife, and the few of them ate dinner.

After dinner, He Jingjing wrote a letter to Aunt Xuan at the prefect's mansion, asking her to arrange for Yan Ruyu to go to the capital.

"Godfather, I want to borrow a few people from you. He Jingjing thought about it, if she asked Aunt Xuan to arrange it, what if she was calculated by Yan Ruyu and others?

He Jingjing doesn't want to take responsibility for Yan Ruyu's affairs, some people will always find any reason or excuse to target others.

"Okay, what kind of person do you want? grooming or cleaning?" the prefect was humming a little song and shaving his teeth.

"It's not that kind of subordinate, it's a government soldier. He Jingjing saw that the prefect had misunderstood what he meant, and said with some amusement.

"Who wants to target you?" As soon as the prefect heard that He Jingjing was going to borrow the government soldiers, he immediately sat up straight and became nervous.

"Godfather, don't be so nervous, I just want to borrow someone from you to escort Yan Ruyu back to the capital. He Jingjing hurriedly explained.

This time, the emperor just issued an edict to Yan Ruyu to go back quickly, and He Jingjing naturally had no reason not to let him go.

Concubine Yan summoned her niece back and didn't send anyone to pick her up, which was really reassuring.

If something went wrong on the way back, He Jingjing didn't want to take the blame again, who knew what kind of medicine Concubine Yan and Yan Ruyu were selling in the gourd.

"Yes, it's safer, or you're more thoughtful. The prefect nodded hurriedly, very supportive of He Jingjing's move.

Indeed, it is the safest way to send government soldiers to escort Yan Ruyu back to the capital from himself, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if Yan Ruyu encountered any accidents on the road, it was only a matter of government soldiers.

And the supreme commander of the government soldiers is the emperor, can the emperor still punish himself?

Even if Concubine Yan wants to find fault, she can't find He Jingjing's head.

Seeing that the prefect agreed, He Jingjing was overjoyed, and by the way, she discussed with the prefect the time when the government soldiers used to pick up Yan Ruyu, and He Jingjing explained all of them to Aunt Xuan in the letter.

"I'm bothering my little brother to run away. After He Jingjing finished writing, he gave it to the prefect, and after there was no problem, He Jingjing handed the letter to the prefect's subordinates, so that they were more at ease.

"The county lord is really tormenting the villain when he says this. Seeing that He Jingjing was so approachable and had such a good attitude towards herself, the person who sent the letter felt a little flattered and full of enthusiasm.

Looking at the back of the messenger, He Jingjing suddenly thought of a possibility, this time Concubine Yan was in such a hurry to find Yan Ruyu to go back, and she had to pass the emperor's oral message, would it be to let Yan Ruyu participate in the selection of concubines for His Royal Highness the Prince?

If Yan Ruyu is really selected, what will happen to Xiaoxiao from her own family, which embarrasses her?
