Ji Yanning came back from Guo's mansion, read the news that had happened in Chang'an in the past few days that Shopkeeper He had sent over, and sorted out the things at hand, the sky had already darkened.

With Ji Yanning's permission, Jinhe can now stand guard in the courtyard in the open.

But I have to say that Ji Yanning's defense in this courtyard is tighter than that of ordinary high-ranking officials' mansions.

Although it is the courtyard in the Liu Mansion, it seems to be independent, there are its own guards at the gate of the courtyard, there are not many people in the courtyard, the rough maid and the mother-in-law are honest and responsible, the three first-class maids around Ji Yanning are all clever people, and even the food and clothing are better than those young ladies in the small officials' mansions.

As the night deepened, Jinhe was about to go back to the palace, but just as he was about to leave Ji Yanning's courtyard, he suddenly saw a black shadow coming directly in their direction.

He frowned slightly, and just as the person who came had just landed in the courtyard, he quickly shot out and slapped the man in the face!

Unexpectedly, she was lightly dodged, and then raised her leg to sweep Jinhe's lower plate, Jinhe raised her foot to suppress her, but unfortunately the person moved too fast, and he could only take two steps back, and hit the incoming person with his fist again.

Yuan Jiaojiao had already fallen behind him in less than two moves, turned around and jumped a few steps, retreated to the tree on the side, and looked at Jinhe unhappily.

Yuan Jiaojiao glanced at Yuan Wu, who was standing next to her, pointed at Jinhe and asked, "Who is he?"

Yuan Wu replied expressionlessly, "The new secret guard. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao fell from the tree and said angrily: "There is a new secret guard again, this posture is enough to catch up with the emperor to leave the palace, why don't you give me one!"

As she spoke, she walked directly towards Ji Yanning's room.

Jinhe looked at Yuan Wu with some puzzlement.

"Miss Yuanfu, don't stop her in the future. Yuan Wu said and retreated.

Yuan Jiaojiao raised her foot and stepped into Ji Yanning's room, and saw that she was looking at the thin son in her hand, and then stepped forward and said, "Yan Ning, you have so many secret guards, give me one?"

Ji Yanning had already heard their movements, and now that she saw Yuan Jiaojiao walking in, she put down the notebook in her hand.

She said, "What do you want the guards to do?"

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Naturally, I want to protect myself, with an identity like mine, Chang'an City surrounded by tigers and wolves is also very dangerous! Anyway, you have three secret guards, and there is no shortage of one of them." ”

Ji Yanning chuckled: "Okay, if you can make the newcomer in the courtyard, take him away." ”

After getting Ji Yanning's words, Yuan Jiaojiao happily jumped out of the yard and made a round, but did not find Jinhe.

She rolled her eyes, coughed lightly, and said loudly, "What about the person who fought with me just now!

As soon as her words fell, Jinhe walked out from behind the pavilion on the side, stepped forward and said to Yuan Jiaojiao, "Miss Yuan." ”

"Ji Yanning said, from today onwards, you will follow me in the future!" Yuan Jiaojiao said to him.

Jinhe frowned slightly, and then said, "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao said unhappily: "Why not?"

Jinhe said: "The prince's order, my task is to protect the safety of Miss Ji, and the rest cannot obey the order." ”

"Are you King Xuan's person?" Yuan Jiaojiao was a little surprised.

The golden crane bows its head, which can be regarded as a default.

Yuan Jiaojiao sighed lightly: "That's it." ”

Then he turned around and walked into Ji Yanning's room.

Ji Yanning looked at her like this and knew that she must have failed, and she said, "Didn't I arrange guards for you before? As long as you go out with them, ordinary people won't dare to trouble you." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao pouted and said, "It's a lot of trouble to carry guards with you." ”

"You can learn some self-defense martial arts on your own, and you won't have to run every time you encounter something. Ji Yanning said.

Yuan Jiaojiao listened to her words and said, "I've been studying seriously recently, and I was able to pass a few tricks with your secret guard just now!"

There is a flawless teaching her, although she can't practice many powerful masters, at least it is more than enough to deal with some shrimp soldiers.

Ji Yanning asked Ziyu to bring the gift she brought back from Jiangzhou.

"I brought some good Jiangnan new tea for your grandmother, they are all exquisite small goods, I think she will like it. Ji Yanning said to Yuan Jiaojiao.

Seeing that Ji Yanning also brought something to her grandmother, Yuan Jiaojiao was very happy in her heart: "Grandmother is not in high interest these days, if she gets your new tea, she will be much happier." ”

"Did you make the old lady angry?" asked Ji Yanning.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Who made me the daughter of the Murong family, Feng Pheasant Niang was married to the second prince a few days ago, but she didn't want to marry, and she couldn't think of a way to quit her family, so she coaxed my mother to come and lobby me, and actually planned to let me marry instead!"

Ji Yanning heard her say this, her eyes sank slightly, no wonder the old lady was angry.

It's obviously twin sisters, and this eccentricity is almost boundless.

Murong Yixue didn't want to marry, so she thought of Yuan Jiaojiao, and didn't believe that Yuan Jiaojiao could be willing to marry into the royal family?

"Grandmother reprimanded her, and said that this substitution is a big crime of deception, if Murong Mansion really dares to do this, she will dare to go to the emperor to make a fuss about this matter, and her mother will give up. Yuan Jiaojiao said this, her face was sad.

Ji Yanning asked, "Since Murong Yixue doesn't want to marry the second prince, why don't you let Mrs. Murong go to the queen to make it clear about her divorce?"

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted coldly and said: "After hearing about the banquet of the concubine selection that day, the queen personally asked her if she would like to become the princess, and she agreed without thinking about it, probably thinking that she could give marriage to the third prince." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, as if Murong Yixue had planted herself in it this time.

"In short, you be careful, who knows if Murong Yixue will hit your head again. Ji Yanning instructed her.

The two of them have such similar faces, I am afraid that if Murong Yixue is really desperate, she will make such a decision.

Yuan Jiaojiao said disdainfully: "I won't be at her mercy! What's more, her marriage to the second prince is just two months later, in such a short period of time, I want to see how she can get out! With this matter, my grandmother gave an order, and all the people in Murong Mansion will not be seen in Yuan Mansion. ”

Ji Yanning didn't expect that Mrs. Murong was also a lady of a family, but she was so conniving at Murong Yixue that she could even think of such a thing as the exchange of sisters' identities.

She was worried about Yuan Jiaojiao, and gave her a lot of poison for self-defense, so as to be prepared.

Guo Qichun handed a post to the third prince Rong Qi, and on the second day, the third prince came to Guo's mansion as promised.

The housekeeper brought Rong Qi to the main hall, saw him walk into the room, and Guo Qichun stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen see His Highness." ”

Rong Qi stepped forward to help him up and motioned for him to be excused.

The subordinates served tea, and Guo Qichun motioned for them all to retreat.

Guo Qichun glanced at Rong Qi, in fact, the demeanor of the three princes was the best among all the princes, and he was a concubine, and he was indeed a good candidate for the prince.

Rong Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip, this tea is a good tea, his eyes flashed slightly, he raised his eyes to meet Guo Qichun's looking eyes, and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Guo Qichun stepped forward, put his hands together and gave an apology, and said: "This time I took the liberty to invite His Highness, but in fact, Weichen has something to ask for. ”

Rong Qi's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Guo Qichun, waiting for his next words.

Guo Qichun continued: "Weichen pondered for two months, and finally felt that the little girl was not worthy of the Third Highness, so I hope that His Royal Highness can fulfill it, and ask the emperor to withdraw his will to give marriage." ”

Rong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Guo Qichun and gestured.

The little eunuch next to him said, "Your Highness asked Lord Guo why he said this? His Highness thinks Miss Guo is very good." ”

Guo Qichun lowered his eyes and said: "The little girl is stubborn and has a jumpy temperament. There is only one daughter in Weichen's family, who is arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, has no rules, and does things frizzy, which is really not suitable for being a princess...... Of course, Weichen also has some selfish intentions, hoping that his daughter can not be bound by the rules, just hope that she can be happy and safe. Therefore, please also ask the Third Highness to fulfill it. ”

Listening to Guo Qichun's words, Rong Qi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't expect Guo Qichun to want his daughter to be the princess.

Although he threw a bunch of derogatory words about his daughter in front of him, he still felt that his daughter would be wronged if she married him.

He was silent for a while, and he didn't move.

Guo Qichun is the envoy of the capital, and the power in his hands is not small, and he is quite trusted by his father, but the second prince and the fourth prince have not taken him to heart several times.

Rong Qi thought that such an adult Guo should not object to his daughter marrying him, after all, he is now "dumb and uncured" and has no intention of taking the heir, and he will not be involved in these struggles at present.

But now Guo Qichun told himself plainly that he didn't want his daughter to marry him at all.

Seeing that Rong Qi didn't speak, Guo Qichun said again: "Weichen knows that this statement is too abrupt. But don't hide it from His Royal Highness, Wechen thought about it for two months, thought of many ways, and still felt inappropriate, so he dared to tell His Highness today, hoping that His Highness could understand Wechen's love for his daughter, Wechen only has one daughter, I don't want her to enjoy much glory and wealth, I just hope that she can spend this life happily. ”

Rong Qi raised his eyes and stared at Guo Qichun, and made a gesture.

The little eunuch next to him said, "Your Highness asked...... Lord Guo can't speak because of his dumb illness, so he doesn't want Miss Guo to become the third princess?"

Guo Qichun lowered his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and he did not answer Rong Qi's words directly, but said: "Weichen knows that he deserves death, and he only asks the three princes to be fulfilled." ”

This is the answer to Rong Qi's words, it is really because of his dumb disease.

Guo Qichun does not use his daughter's happiness to cling to Ronghua, compared to many people in the court, it is indeed a clear stream, if his poison is not solved, he will not let go of Guo Xinyue.

"This prince promised that he would allow her to be happy and protect her safety in the future, and never be a merciless person. In this way, is Lord Guo willing to marry Miss Guo to the wife of the prince?" Rong Qi finally spoke.
