Chapter 154: Meeting the Second Prince
Ji Yanning didn't know that the second prince was investigating the matter of the five princes, although it had been found out that Wu Chengcheng was the daughter of the prefect of Hengzhou, Hua Duanyan, she was indeed planning to assassinate the five princes because of revenge, but it was not easy for Hua Duanyan to go to the step of assassinating the five princes.
There was someone behind Hua Duyan's help, how could Su Ningxue swallow this breath, so she asked the second prince to secretly investigate this matter.
Su Ningxue and Rong Liang have three children, the second prince, the fifth prince and the fifth princess.
But now Su Ningxue always feels that everything is not going well, first the fifth princess has a strange poison in her body, and she exudes a foul smell all over her body, and now no one dares to approach her, and her temperament has become more and more violent, killing palace slaves at every turn, making people in the palace panic, and some people were assigned to the side of the fifth princess, and they were so frightened that they jumped directly into the lake and died.
After a long time, the emperor was also dissatisfied, and directly sent the fifth princess to the temple for cultivation.
The death of the fifth prince gave Su Ningxue a big blow, and all of a sudden the two children were inexplicably harmed, and her cousin Su Jiwen's family was also raided because of the girl's pill case, and without the support of her mother's family, her situation is now difficult.
When Ji Yanning thought of this, his eyes were full of murder, but it was just the beginning.
The pain she endured at the beginning, she would make Su Ningxue repay it a hundred times and a thousand times.
She had only been to the Pavilion a few times, and all of them were veiled, and few people would see her appearance except for her face, let alone her identity.
Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they may not be able to find news related to themselves.
Although Yuan Jiaojiao was injured, her light skills were still not weak, and she directly returned the fake.
That picture of the sunrise in Lishan is owned by a seven-rank petty official, although his official position is low, but his identity is not to be underestimated, it is the nephew of the eldest princess of Jinning, Su Rili looks at the face of the eldest princess, and everyone will give him some face.
It's just that the nephew has been a minor official for several years, and his ability is not particularly outstanding, if he wants to be promoted and get a good position, he can only take other paths.
This way is Hu Yong, the servant of the ministry.
Hu Yong has always loved to collect calligraphy and painting antiques, and he can't put down these things on weekdays, and many people like them to seek some benefits for themselves.
And that little official also got the true copy of the sunrise map of Lishan out of nowhere, and he was trying to curry favor with Hu Yong and find himself a better position.
However, this painting has been cut off halfway by Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning looks very similar, the little official shouldn't be able to see that it's fake, but Hu Yong's eyes can naturally see a little, but when the dog eats the dog, I'm afraid that Hu Yong, the servant of the ministry, will also sit at the end.
With Yuan Jiaojiao here, Ji Yanning wanted to drop things unknowingly, although it was convenient, but this time Yuan Jiaojiao's injury also made her worried, after all, even if Yuan Jiaojiao was a light skill, her martial arts were too poor, and she was afraid that she would be caught one day, so if there was not something important on weekdays, she would not easily let Yuan Jiaojiao go into danger.
Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao have already reached the end of the day, and the marriage has naturally become a concern for the relatives.
Although Ji Yanning has to keep filial piety for his parents for three years, Liu Mu and An both feel that they can watch each other first, otherwise they will wait for another two or three years for fear that the good people will be picked.
Ji Yanning didn't refuse them to see the marriage for herself, but she would always find a reason to refuse.
The wife of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War held a poetry meeting and invited many sons and ladies of the family, and An naturally received invitations.
There are several girls of the right age to be married in the Shangshu Mansion, and Mrs. Shangshu's move is self-evident, and everyone knows in their hearts that this poetry meeting is just to provide a place for those sons and girls who have not yet been married.
The ladies can take the opportunity to see which girl is more like.
Moreover, this poetry will be held without distinction between men and women, so that they can also palm each other's hands.
The old lady was thinking about Yuan Jiaojiao's family affairs, so she asked her to participate in the poetry meeting.
"You don't know, my grandmother's favorite thing to do these days is to find out which family has a suitable unmarried man, as if she wants to settle the family tomorrow. As soon as Yuan Jiaojiao saw Ji Yanning, she couldn't help but start pouring bitter water.
Ji Yanning glanced at the surrounding young ladies of so many families, and took Yuan Jiaojiao to find a secluded lakeside pavilion and make it.
"She's just worried about you. Ji Yanning said, "The old lady is old, so she naturally has more things to consider." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded: "So I didn't refute her." ”
"By the way, did your injuries get better last time?" Ji Yanning asked.
Yuan Jiaojiao said: "With the medicine you gave, the scars have faded now, and they should disappear in two days." ”
Although Duan Wuflaw also gave her medicine and apologies, she returned them intact.
These little favors want to forgive her and want to be beautiful!
The two of them sat at the table in the pavilion, looked at the swimming carp in the lake, and then picked up the fish food next to them and began to scatter it.
The scenery of this Shangshu Mansion is still very good, and it is almost March, and the branches of the trees have emerged with tender green tooth tips, adding a lot of vitality.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest lady of the Yuan Mansion and the cousin of the Liu family?" a sharp voice came from the side.
Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao turned their heads to look, and they saw Murong Yixue and the "woman in pink" they had seen in the palace that day, but the woman in pink was not wearing a pink dress today, but a set of lilac gauze dresses.
She is the lord of Yalan in the county king's mansion.
Ji Yanning almost forgot that Murong Yixue did not have a marriage contract now.
However, with Murong Yixue's identity, except for the royal family and nobles, I am afraid that other people will not be able to enter her eyes, not to mention far away, just her behavior towards the three princes is enough to prove that she likes the three princes.
However, Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and the third prince doesn't seem to want to provoke such an eye-catching existence for himself.
It was Concubine Su who wanted the second prince to get close to Murong Yixue.
Yuan Jiaojiao glanced at these two people, her original good mood was swept away, and she didn't want to deal with them, so she took Ji Yanning's hand and was about to leave.
The county lord of Yalan stopped them directly.
"Why? Seeing that we are weak and want to leave?"
Yuan Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at her unhappily: "I don't want to see disgusting things, so I take a detour, don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"Yuan Jiaojiao, don't think that you and Murong Yixue are sisters and you can be so unscrupulous! Sure enough, you have been with a lowly merchant girl for too long, and you are so vulgar in your speech!"
Yuan Jiaojiao said: "What's wrong with me talking vulgarly, if you have the ability, don't come over and let me scold you!"
"You!" Where has the county lord of Yalan been angry with others, the first time was in the palace by Ji Yanning and Zheng Yuanjiao, this time it was Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao, her heart was angry, and she was about to say something, but she was stopped by Murong Yixue.
"Well, if people don't want to see us, why bother. ”
She glanced at Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao, but there was a deep disgust in her eyes.
One is the twin sister who threatens her current identity and status, and the other is Ji Yanning, who was easily favored by the third prince.
No matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye.
The county lord of Yalan didn't follow it, and said: "The more Yixue you are like this, the more they think you are easy to bully." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao sneered, glanced at Murong Yixue, and then said to the county lord of Yalan: "How do you know that you saw me bullying her? I have nothing to do with her. ”
The county lord of Yalan is also held by people on weekdays, and his mind is naturally simpler, and after a few words of instigation by Murong Yixue, he really believed her words.
Now seeing Yuan Jiaojiao so arrogant, the county lord of Yalan has strengthened the idea in his heart.
The county lord of Yalan blocked their way and said, "If you don't apologize to Yixue today, don't think about it." ”
Such an unreasonable and unreasonable person, Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help frowning, and looked at Murong Yixue.
Her gaze was not good, and she didn't have much patience when she looked at Murong Yixue, but the warning in her eyes was obvious.
What Murong Yixue did before, she could be used as a bargaining chip to draw a line with Murong Mansion, but in the future, if Murong Yixue still didn't know how to come over and make trouble, it would be no wonder that she would repair this twin sister herself!
Murong Yixue looked at Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart.
How can I say that Yuan Jiaojiao also used to mix the rivers and lakes, if she was confronted with her, I don't know what she would do.
Murong Yixue stepped forward and pulled the county lord of Yalan back: "Yalan, Miss Yuan and Miss Ji haven't done anything either, you don't have to be like this." ”
"But ......"
Before the county lord of Yalan could say anything, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.
"It's a lively place. ”
Ji Yanning and the others looked back in the direction of the corridor, and just saw a man wearing a dark purple brocade robe walking in their direction, the man's waist was tied with an auspicious cloud belt, and the jade pendant on it knew at a glance that it was not ordinary, and the tassel spike of the jade pendant was a special yellow for the royal family, and the purple crown and hair on the head were undoubtedly dressed like this.
Seeing that his appearance was six or seven points similar to Rong Liang, Ji Yanning probably guessed the identity of this person.
Before he and Yuan Jiaojiao could make a move, Murong Yixue and the county lord of Yalan had already saluted him.
"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”
Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao didn't speak, and they also saluted together.
"There's no need to be polite, but I heard that there is a poetry meeting in Shangshu Mansion today, so I came over to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to meet Yixue by chance. His voice was gentle.
Murong Yixue's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't answer.
The second prince Rong Yu glanced at the women in front of him, and his eyes fell on Yuan Jiaojiao's body, because her appearance was very similar to Murong Yixue, if he wasn't familiar with Murong Yixue's ordinary dress, I was afraid that even he would admit it wrong.
