Chapter 636: Banquet in the Palace
Seeing the lost look on her face, Ji Yanning smiled.
"If you want to come over, you can, after all, your talent is good, you can learn some medical skills from me. Ji Yanning said, "But you're not young, it's time to marry you, you can't stay by my side all the time, it depends on what your parents mean." ”
When it came to the matter of marriage, Pearl's face was slightly red, but she was a little entangled.
But I can't come up with a way to do it now, so I can only nod, and then pack up my things and go back to the small house I bought.
She followed Ji Yanning's side, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, she also had a lot of moon silver, she could save a lot of savings, and she had the money given by her father, so Pearl bought a small house in Chang'an, thinking that when her father and mother came to Chang'an, she could have a home of her own.
Because the matter of Daddy's coming to Chang'an had already been finalized with Ji Yanning, Pearl's house was also prepared for some time, and after letting people clean up, he moved all the things over, and went to Yapo to buy two subordinates who worked neatly, and this house was popular.
Not long after the pearl left, Liu Changyuan passed Ji Yanning's courtyard.
Looking at the two new maids in the yard, Zisheng and Ziluo, it seems that it didn't take long to learn the rules, and the two sisters are safe and don't like things.
He remembered that he hadn't seen a pearl in a long time.
"Pearl?" Ji Yanning listened to Liu Changyuan suddenly ask about Pearl, his face was a little puzzled, "What are you looking for her to do?
It's been a long time since that incident, but Ji Yanning feels that Pearl shouldn't take it to heart, after all, Pearl is not such a stingy person.
When Liu Changyuan heard Ji Yanning ask, he laughed and said, "It's just a casual question, thinking that you don't have many maids here, and Pearl knows medical skills, it's good to stay by your side and take care of you." ”
Ji Yanning listened to Liu Changyuan's words, and always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't hide it from Liu Changyuan, and said: "Pearl's parents are already coming to Chang'an, and they will settle in Chang'an in the future, so naturally she can't continue to stay by my side as a little maid serving tea and pouring water." What's more, she is not young, and the shopkeeper and his wife should have wanted to find a suitable marriage for her. ”
Liu Changyuan heard Ji Yanning say this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Didn't you say that Pearl's parents were in Jiangzhou before? They are not familiar with Chang'an, and they don't have too many acquaintances, how can they find relatives for Pearl?"
Ji Yanning said: "Don't worry about this, I have investigated before, so I have asked people to list some suitable people, and when the shopkeeper comes over, they can choose slowly." ”
Liu Changyuan's eyes were a little lost.
Although there were very few, they were still keenly noticed by Ji Yanning.
"The third cousin seems to be particularly concerned about the matter of pearls?" Ji Yanning asked tentatively.
When Liu Changyuan saw Ji Yanning's appearance, he waved his hand again and again, and said, "No! ”
Seeing his weak heart, Ji Yanning just smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just asking, my cousin is going to take the Spring Festival scientific examination next year, how are you preparing now?"
Liu Changyuan said: "It's okay, it's not so easy to get into the Jinshi." ”
Ji Yanning said: "I believe that with my cousin's ability, it is still possible to take the Jinshi exam." ”
"Borrow my cousin's auspicious words, then I'll go back first. Liu Changyuan said, "It's just a busy time, and I have to read the book when I go back." ”
Ji Yanning nodded and got up to send him off.
Looking at the back of Liu Changyuan leaving, Ji Yanning frowned slightly.
She looked at Ziyu next to her and asked, "Ziyu, do you also think that the third cousin seems to have some interest in pearls?"
Ziyu listened to Ji Yanning's words, her eyes widened, and she suddenly thought about it, which seemed to be reasonable.
She was surprised: "Miss, you mean that the third young master likes pearls?"
Ji Yanning said: "I'm just guessing, but this kind of thing, it's all your will, I don't want to interfere too much, if my cousin really likes pearls, he shouldn't be indifferent, and he won't sit still." ”
Ziyu suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, looking very gossipy.
"Last time, Pearl was still complaining to me about the Third Young Master, but it doesn't sound like she means to blame the Third Young Master, I just don't know what she thinks. Ziyu said, "I'll just find a chance to ask." ”
Listening to Ziyu's words, Ji Yanning shook his head slightly: "In such a matter, they don't make any moves, so we won't get involved, not to mention that the third cousin will end up in a few months, don't let him be distracted." ”
Ziyu, who was originally thinking about continuing to gossip, was honestly told by Ji Yanning.
However, Liu Changyuan, who was going to go back to his yard to read the book, took a book in the study and read it for a long time, but only turned two pages.
waited until the little maid came over with tea, and then came back to his senses.
Liu Changyuan looked at his little servant, and then realized that he had been thinking about the pearl.
"You go and inquire, the pearl girl in your cousin's yard has moved out, where do you want to find out where she lives now?" Liu Changyuan instructed his little servant.
When the little guy heard Liu Changyuan say this, although he was puzzled, he still did what he ordered.
Liu Changyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, but sighed lightly.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just wanted to know the news of Pearl.
If he hadn't sent someone to investigate, he would have felt that he really couldn't read the book today.
Ji Yanning didn't know this.
As Ji Yanning guessed, it didn't take long for Rong Liang to issue a holy decree and make the third prince the crown prince.
After all, this time the three princes made a lot of contributions to the disaster relief in Zhangzhou, and gained a lot of popular opinions, compared to the rest of the other princes, they are really much more outstanding, and they are almost all supporting the three princes as the crown prince.
When the decree was issued, many ministers were relieved.
But the queen was not very happy.
After all, in her eyes, if it weren't for the second prince's sudden rebellion, which made the emperor worried, how could he compromise so easily?
However, the New Year is approaching, and the crown prince's canonization ceremony will not be held until the end of the year.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace banquet, Ji Yanning had a grade, and this time he made meritorious contributions in Zhangzhou, and it was reasonable to be able to enter the palace banquet.
This palace banquet is the last large-scale palace banquet this year, after all, the palace banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve can only be attended by the royal family, but this time there are many high-grade officials and royal relatives.
Ji Yanning, as the county lord, sat silently in his corner, but he seemed to be at ease.
Rong Che's eyes passed through the crowd and saw Ji Yanning who was silently eating pastries, with some tenderness in his eyes.
Their position was diagonally opposite, so you could see her as soon as you looked up.
On an occasion like a palace banquet, Ji Yanning is naturally no stranger, even if no one is around, she is calm.
Everyone's eyes were on the song and dance performance, and naturally they wouldn't notice her with such a low sense of existence.
It's just that Rong Ling's gaze looks at her from time to time, but it makes her feel very annoyed.
Anyway, now that Rong Qi is already the crown prince, as long as he kills Rong Qi, the prince will naturally take the new emperor, and naturally there is no big threat.
However, it is not so easy to assassinate the emperor, otherwise there would not be so many people who want to rebel but end up in nothing.
He couldn't even get close to Rong Ling, let alone want to kill him.
Participating in the palace banquet is also to search her body, she can't bring a dagger ice blade with her, and the silver needle in her sleeve naturally can't be found, so she didn't bring it over.
Is she going to pull out the poisonous hairpin on her head to assassinate the emperor? She is not so stupid as this.
So when she saw that her enemy was in front of her, but she couldn't kill him, Ji Yanning chose to ignore it.
It's just that Rong Liang's gaze kept looking at him, which made Ji Yanning feel a little ignorant, so he simply met Rong Liang's gaze and looked at him with some puzzlement.
Even if she wants Ying Caiwei very much, it can only be said that she is an image, and there is no evidence that she is Ying Caiwei, so she is not afraid of being recognized.
Rong Liang wanted to kill himself, but it was just because he and Ying Caiwei were like each other, which made him feel terrified.
The song stopped, and the dancers in the middle lowered their heads and retreated.
The emperor said: "The prince has contributed a lot to the disaster relief in this long river, but I also know that the county lord of Congxi is in danger, so he has cured the epidemic." ”
Hearing the emperor mention his name, Ji Yanning could only get up, salute slightly, and said: "The emperor has a good reputation, the courtiers are just lucky, it is the emperor's blessings that continue, let God bless the Great Wei." ”
When she said this, she lowered her head, and she couldn't see the look on her face clearly, but her tone was soft, and she couldn't hear the mockery between her words.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, listening to Ji Yanning's words, he seemed to feel very useful.
If it was Ying Caiwei, she would definitely not be able to say such a thing.
He looked at Ji Yanning and said, "The county lord of Congxi is really very modest, if it weren't for the prince's retribution, I probably wouldn't believe that you can have such medical skills at your age." Who did you learn your medicine from?"
Ji Yanning had been asked this question many times before, and she was naturally familiar with it.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have been weak since they were young, often take medicine, and they all say that they have become good doctors after a long illness, and they have had a lot of contact with doctors, so they naturally have a lot of interest in medical skills. Ji Yanning said slowly, "My parents have never restrained their courtiers, so I have read a lot of medical books since I was a child, and I only know a little about the skin, and this epidemic is also a mistake." ”
Her tone was very soft, and she spoke clearly and methodically, not like someone who didn't enter the palace often.
Many people's eyes fell on Ji Yanning, this kind of bearing is not something that a small family can cultivate.
Even some high-grade noblewomen were still very scared when they saw the emperor.
