The two days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the Chen Mansion to enjoy the flowers.

Although Yuan Jiaojiao doesn't like Chen's mansion, this does not prevent her from wanting to watch the excitement, and it is best to add fuel and vinegar and fan the flames at the right time.

Who told those people on weekdays not to like her, and they also embarrassed her and Ji Yanning everywhere, and looked at their liveliness to make her mood a little better.

Ji Yanning didn't want to join in the excitement, whether it was the fifth princess, the Shen family or the Chen family, they didn't have a small prejudice against her, but they were afraid that if they went over, not only did they not see it as lively, but they would be dragged down this troubled water.

Although she was not afraid, she didn't want to waste her time on this plain trouble, so she went to Xuanwangfu.

The residual poison on Rong Che's body has been completely resolved, but there are still a few days before Li Xiaoyun can investigate the case, so he has been "recuperating" in the palace.

However, many people came to send gifts and condolences, and the emperor also sent a lot of things.

When Ji Yanning arrived at the Xuan Palace, he happened to see the housekeeper sending Mu Lin out of the palace.

"Miss Ji. The housekeeper bowed to Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning hummed softly, his eyes fell on Mu Lin's body, and he bowed slightly, which was considered a salute.

Mu Lin saw Ji Yanning for the first time, he knew that King Xuan had a fiancée, and she was a merchant girl with a low background, but because King Xuan insisted on marrying, he asked the emperor to give him a marriage and made him a county lord.

King Xuan's temperament, Mu Lin, knows a little, if he is a person who is easily fascinated by sex, Mu Lin naturally does not believe it.

Mu Lin said: "This is the county lord of Congxi, right? ”

Ji Yanning said: "Mu Gongzi." ”

Mu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly: "You know me?"

"Guess. Ji Yanning said, "But it seems that I guessed correctly." ”

Mu Lin listened to her words, although he didn't believe it, but he didn't care much, he had been in Chang'an for several days, and the emperor never let him go back, so he could only continue to stay in Chang'an.

Ji Yanning really didn't just guess, people like Mu Lin stayed in Chang'an, and they would still pay more attention to it.

Mu Lin said, "You have come to see King Xuan, right? ”

He bowed his hand, and then walked out in the direction of the outside of the mansion gate.

Ji Yanning didn't care, thinking that Rong Che should be in the study at this time, so he took the pearl and walked in the direction of the study.

Rong Che heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see that Ji Yanning had already walked into the study.

He put down the pen in his hand and chuckled at Ji Yanning: "My poison has been cured." ”

"Oh?" Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows when he heard his words and asked, "So you're driving me away?"

Rong Che heard her words, but couldn't help but laugh and said, "How come, I just want you not to worry too much." ”

Although the poison on his body was cured, he was also injured that day, and his face was still a little pale, and he needed to recuperate for a few more days to recover as before.

Ji Yanning said: "I saw Mu Lin when I first came in. ”

Rong Che nodded and said, "He came to me and wanted me to help him." ”

Ji Yanning pondered for a moment and said, "Help him leave Chang'an and return to Mu Mansion as soon as possible?" ”

The Mu family holds military power, second only to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion among several major military powers, how could Rong Liang not want to take those military powers back into his pocket?

Besides, now that the small countries around him dare not attack, it is a good time to take back power from the Mu family.

"It's because it's not easy, that's why he came to me. Rong Che said, "He is also desperate." ”

Now Nanzhao County only has his elderly grandfather and father who is no longer in good health, he has just taken over the Mu family army, if he stays in Chang'an for many years, I am afraid that after going back, those Mu family troops may not continue to recognize him as the master.

Ji Yanning asked Rong Che: "Did you promise him?"

Rong Che smiled but did not answer.

Ji Yanning looked at him puzzled.

Rong Che said: "Helping is not for nothing, it needs to be exchanged." ”

"I see. Ji Yanning said, "You want to use him to deal with the second prince, is this considered a wooing?"

Rong Che shrugged: "I just gave him a choice, and I have nothing to lose." ”

Ji Yanning chuckled, already understood.

Now that the second prince and the third prince are fighting, it was okay at the beginning, but they are getting more and more at a disadvantage, and they will try their best to win people's hearts.

Rong Che next to the third prince, Rong Che has military power in his hands, which leads to the gap in strength between the two princes, and at this time, the second prince must be someone who wants to win over the military.

Then, Mullin would be a good choice.

It's just that now Mu Lin's identity is embarrassing, and the emperor wants to deal with the Mu family, but the second prince may not think so.

As long as the Mu family is still powerful enough, they can help him.

"Does the assassin who assassinated you have any other clues?" asked Ji Yanning.

She always felt a little strange, but there were too few clues.

Rong Che said: "Don't worry, I can handle this matter." ”

Ji Yanning nodded.

At this time, Yuan Jiaojiao was in Chen's mansion, participating in the flower appreciation banquet.

Chen Ge Lao has some prestige in the court, and there are many people who want to make friends, as long as they receive the post, they basically come over happily.

Yuan Jiaojiao is not alone, she is the eldest lady of the Yuan family, and naturally some girls from the military general's family came to talk to her.

Although Yuan Jiaojiao is a little arrogant on weekdays, she never takes the initiative to cause trouble, and sometimes she will speak up, and she has a free and easy temperament, but she also attracts many people.

Now she was chatting and laughing with a few young ladies of the military generals during the banquet, but her eyes were looking at Miss Chen Qi, who was busy.

"Jiaojiao, why are you always looking at that Chen Qi girl?" said the woman in pink beside her, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

Yuan Jiaojiao turned her head and said with a smile: "No, I'm just confused, I think Miss Chen Qi seems to be very interested in Mrs. Shen." The status of the Chen Mansion is much higher than that of the Shen family, why should she be so cautious, as if she is currying favor with others. ”

As soon as Yuan Jiaojiao said that, the eyes of several girls around looked at Miss Chen Qi, and saw that Chen Qi was indeed talking to Mrs. Shen, and smiled decently.

A green-clothed girl opposite Yuan Jiaojiao lowered her voice and said, "I look at that Chen Qi, probably the son of Mrs. Shen." ”

"You can't talk nonsense. The woman in pink said, "After all, it's about women's reputation." ”

The girl in green retorted: "I didn't talk nonsense, I have also seen Chen Qigo deliberately get close to Shen Gongzi twice." ”

When the people around heard the girl in green say this, their faces were different.

In fact, with Shen Qingyi's appearance and talent, many girls in Chang'an City are fond of him, but because of face and the rules of the family, they dare not have any transgressive behavior.

Yuan Jiaojiao did suddenly realize, and then said: "I see, I think Miss Chen Qi is a good match for Shen Gongzi, but it seems that Mrs. Shen doesn't seem to mean that?"

Hearing Yuan Jiaojiao's words, the woman in pink just now said, "I heard that Mrs. Shen has high requirements for picking her daughter-in-law." ”

Several girls' families sat together, chatting and chatting, and then the topic was turned to the matter of Mrs. Shen and Chen Qi.

"The fifth princess has arrived!"

With a singing sound outside the garden, the whole garden fell silent.

In fact, everyone has long known the news that the fifth princess has returned to the palace, but since she came back, no one has seen her true face, and they are even more curious about whether the smell on her body has been eliminated for a while.

I didn't expect the fifth princess to appear here.

Because there were a lot of people invited to the flower-viewing banquet this time, the women and girls were in the same garden, and the son who came was in the other front yard.

A group of women looked at the gate of the garden, and Mrs. Shen raised her head a little excitedly when she heard the name of the fifth princess.

The fifth princess slowly walked into the garden, she had been dressed up for a long time today, although she was not wearing a dress, she was just wearing a pale pink dress, and she looked like two people like the arrogant and domineering five princesses in the past.

The crowd stood up and saluted.

The fifth princess said: "Don't be polite, my princess just came to take a look, you don't have to be too restrained." ”

China said yes and went back to its place.

Miss Chen Qi looked at the fifth princess in some surprise, and didn't understand how the fifth princess suddenly appeared here, after all, this time the flower viewing banquet, their Chen Mansion didn't hand over a post to the fifth princess!

Before she could figure it out, Mrs. Shen, who was beside her, had already gone in the direction of the fifth princess.

"Mrs. Shen......" Chen Qigang wanted to call her, but stopped halfway through the words, because she saw the eyes of the fifth princess and also looked over.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she could only keep up.

"Miss Yung...... Are you actually the fifth princess?" Mrs. Shen looked at the fifth princess with a surprised expression, as if she was a little surprised.

Shen Yanfang, who was on the side, looked at her mother's clumsy acting skills and didn't say anything.

The fifth princess smiled: "It turned out to be Mrs. Shen, and the Japanese princess went out of the palace, it was really not good to tell others her identity, and I hope Mrs. Shen will forgive me." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Your Highness, where is this, it is really a torture for the courtiers. ”

The fifth princess said: "Originally, I wanted to come over to see the lotus flowers on this Chen Mansion, but I heard that the flowers bloom better than the flowers in the imperial garden, so I came to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Shen, it was really fate." ”

"Not really!" said Mrs. Shen, "fate." ”

"Since fate is so great, why don't we go and enjoy the flowers together?" the fifth princess suggested.

This was exactly what Mrs. Shen wanted, she had to talk hard today to get Shen Qingyi to agree to come to the Chen Mansion together, so naturally she couldn't waste this effort in vain.

She glanced at the maid beside her and asked her to bring Shen Qingyi over to her.

Miss Chen Qi, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said, "The princess and Mrs. Shen are both distinguished guests in the mansion, why don't you let me lead the way for you." ”

The fifth princess glanced at Chen Qi, but she didn't think much about it, nodded, and the group went towards the lake pavilion in the back garden not far away.
