On Chinese New Year's Eve, the people in the Liu Mansion were very busy, but they didn't need Ji Yanning to take care of them.

She also has a lot of things on hand, after all, Baochang Ji has a big business, and the treasurers and stewards of various counties and counties around Chang'an know that their sisters and brothers are in Chang'an, and they must inevitably give gifts or visit something.

In the evening, after having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with others in the Liu Mansion, Ji Lang shouted that he and his sister were going to keep the New Year together.

For Ji Lang, this is the first time he left Jiangzhou for Chinese New Year's Eve, and naturally he wants to be with his sister.

For Ji Yanning, being able to be reborn is really God's kindness to her, and it is precisely because of this that she cherishes her little life even more, perhaps it is precisely because of the grievances of the Ying family and the Lou family that she can't turn a blind eye and has to push the enemy into hell.

It's just that Ji Lang hasn't reached the middle of the night, he is already tired and sleeps, after all, he is young, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he made a fuss in the mansion again, showing Ji Yanning his archery and martial arts, it is strange not to be tired.

Ji Yanning asked the guards to carry Ji Lang back to his courtyard, and was about to rest, when Yuan Wu passed the word, saying that King Xuan was waiting for him outside.

She glanced at Yuan Wu with some complications.

"It was the secret guard around King Xuan who came here, and Xu was afraid of disturbing the other people in the mansion. Yuan Wu explained.

As a prince, King Xuan should know that he shouldn't disturb a woman who has not left the cabinet in the middle of the night, why did he come late at night?

However, thinking that Rong Che didn't seem to be rude, Xu was really in a hurry, so he took a velvet white cloak and quietly walked out of the back door.

King Xuan's carriage was at the corner of the alley at the back door, Ji Yanning walked forward slowly, and looked at no one on the left and right, so he walked to the carriage with confidence.

She always felt weird, as if she was doing something unseemly, but she shouldn't be weak-hearted.

She stepped on the low stool and lifted the curtain of the carriage, just about to ask him why he wanted to see her at this time, but before she could say anything, she saw Yan Xu beside Rong Che.

"Xu'er, why are you here?" Ji Yanning was a little surprised, after all, Rong Che said that he had already sent him back to Yanfu.

originally thought that there was something about Yan Jinzhong, and no one in the Yan Mansion should be able to take care of him, could it be that he was bullied again?

Yan Xu just sat in the carriage aggrievedly and did not speak.

Rong Che said: "When I came back from the banquet in the palace, I saw him guarding the gate of the palace, and he refused to go in, so he wanted me to bring him to you." ”

Ji Yanning didn't think much about it and got into the carriage, and first thanked Rong Che: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Rong Che chuckled: "It's a gesture." ”

Ji Yanning looked at the aggrieved Yan Xu and asked, "What's wrong with Xu'er?"

Yan Xu looked up at her and said, "I just want to see my sister and want to stay with my sister." ”

He was already a twenty-year-old young man, and others might be a little awkward for Ji Yanning, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, to call her sister, but I heard that his intelligence was only about four or five years old, and coupled with his pitiful expression, it looked very distressing.

Ji Yanning pondered for a while and said, "Most people are in their own homes on this Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is nothing good to go, why don't you send us to Dingbei Hou Mansion?"

Rong Che didn't expect Ji Yanning to go to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but he still responded and asked his subordinates to drive the carriage to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

There was a heater in the carriage, but he was not afraid of the cold, and seeing that Yan Xu was wearing a little thin, Ji Yanning took off his robe and cloak and tied it to him.

Seeing that she did this as a matter of course, the smile in Rong Che's eyes gradually faded.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Ji seems to have a lot of connections with the Dingbei Hou Mansion?"

Ji Yanning nodded, but there is nothing to hide, if you really want to check, you can also find some clues, but it is even more conjecturing to cover up, she said bluntly: "When the old marquis and Xiao Shaobei were attacked in the south of the Yangtze River, they were accidentally met when I went out hunting, so I helped them." ”

Rong Che could also guess a few points, he heard Duan Wufang talk about Li Xiaoyun and Ji Yanning, maybe Ji Yanning was present to witness Li Xiaoyun's people at that time, but she didn't know Li Xiaoyun yet, and when she met again in Zhongdebo Mansion in Chang'an, there was that conflict.

"Looks like you're really kind. Rong Che said that he didn't meet her many times, and most of the time he helped others.

Ji Yanning smiled: "I'm a merchant, I can't afford to be early, I don't want such a thing as kindness." ”

The carriage slowly headed in the direction of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, because it was already night, there were not many people on the street, and every household was lit up, which was lively and lonely.

Ji Yanning suddenly thought of something, and said to Yan Xu beside him: "Stretch out your hand." ”

Yan Xu didn't know why, and stretched out his hand.

Ji Yanning gave him a pulse, and Yan Xu subconsciously wanted to retract it, but was held by Ji Yanning.

Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Rong Che asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "Strange, this pulse is obviously very good. ”

It is difficult to cure stupid people, Ji Yanning also knows it, but it is difficult not to mean that it is impossible, Yan Xu is still young now, she will not give up, after all, this is her brother's child, and she is the only person in this world who still has the blood of the Ying family on her body.

Rong Che said: "I heard that Yan Zheng also asked the imperial doctor to show him back then, but he was helpless. ”

Ji Yanning sighed lightly: "Blame me for my poor medical skills." ”

Rong Che smiled: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and it is very human that you can make poison to the extent that you are at this level." ”

While they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Rong Che got down from the carriage first, and then helped Ji Yanning and Yan Xu to let them come down slowly.

The people of the Dingbei Hou Mansion recognized Ji Yanning, but invited them in.

Xiao Shaobei didn't expect Ji Yanning to come over at this time, so he hurriedly greeted her, and when he saw Rong Che beside her, he frowned suddenly.

Yan Xu looked at Xiao Shaobei's appearance, and couldn't help but hide behind Ji Yanning silently.

Ji Yanning held his hand and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, he won't murder you." ”

Seeing Ji Yanning holding Yan Xu's hand, Rong Che stepped forward and grabbed Yan Xu, and said, "That is, Marquis Xiao is an upright person, so naturally he embarrass others for no reason." ”

Xiao Shaobei stepped forward and asked, "Yan Ning, what's going on with them?"

"I'll explain to you later. Ji Yanning said to Xiao Shaobei, then turned to Rong Che and said, "Thank you Lord for sending us over." ”

Originally, he thought that Rong Che sent them to the Dingbei Hou Mansion and should go back, but he had no intention of leaving, and took two steps forward: "Anyway, it's very boring in the palace, it's better to come to Marquis Xiao as a companion, Hou Ye shouldn't mind, right?"

Xiao Shaobei snorted coldly: "Mind." ”

He didn't forget that although this King Xuan saved Ji Yanning at the beginning, there was no news for several days after he took her away, but he just handed him a painless letter so that he didn't worry.

Rong Che raised his eyebrows slightly, then hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "It seems that Marquis Xiao has a bit of a prejudice against this king, but this king doesn't mind." ”

Ji Yanning, who was on the side, only felt that this prince was really thick-skinned.

Xiao Shaobei didn't pay attention to him, Rong Che was a prince, and it would be too cheap to drive him out like this.

He welcomed the three into the house.

There is only one master in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Xiao Shaobei, which was originally deserted, and such a Chinese New Year's Eve makes people feel that the mansion is silent, and now that there are three people coming to the door, there is a moment of excitement in a trance.

Although they had all eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Ji Yanning thought that Yan Xu probably couldn't eat properly, so he and Xiao Shaobei brought some wine and food.

Xiao Shaobei said: "When my father was here before, we were sometimes in Chang'an and sometimes in Saibei for the New Year, but we would take some prey to make barbecue and wine, and drink and chat with a few uncles, so we also spent a New Year with a friendly spirit. ”

Ji Yanning was very afraid of charcoal, and when she was barbecuing, she definitely didn't dare to approach, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.

Yan Xu shook his head at this time and said, "Don't barbecue." ”

Xiao Shaobei said: "Then make some food." ”

The three of them sat in the pavilion, and Xiao Shaobei was instructing the housekeeper to get some more food from the kitchen.

Ji Yanning got up, walked towards Xiao Shaobei, glanced back at Rong Che was talking to Yan Xu, she pulled Xiao Shaobei and whispered Yan Xu's life experience on the side.

Counting up, Yan Xu is Xiao Shaobei's cousin.

Rao is Xiao Shaobei couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the news, and then came back to his senses: "This sign is really not a thing. ”

Since he took away Yan Xu, he has cultivated him to the appearance he is now, what kind of intentions are An!

Even if you are raised as an unfavored concubine, you can't become a fool.

It can be seen how twisted his heart is.

"If not, let him live in the Hou Mansion. Xiao Shaobei said that the people of the Yan Mansion could not rush into his Hou Mansion to ask for people.

Now that Yan Xu's identity has been determined, he can't be allowed to go back to be poisoned by Yan Fu.

Ji Yanning shook his head and denied his thoughts: "He can't live anywhere with you, don't forget, there are not many people who are still involved with the Lou family now, but Dingbeihou Mansion is the closest one, if Yan Zheng knows that Xu'er is here, he will definitely suspect that Yan Zheng's identity has been exposed." ”

Yan Zheng spared Xu'er's life and adopted him as his own son, perhaps the emperor didn't know it at all, and Rong Liang's temperament was inevitably going to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and it was impossible for the Ying family to still have blood.

He is guilty of defrauding the king, if he is discovered, he is afraid that his head will not be saved, and naturally he will not let outsiders know Yanxu's true identity.

If Yan Zheng is aware of the threat, I am afraid that he will be wanted to get rid of the scourge of Yan Xu earlier.

This is why Ji Yanning didn't let Yan Xu live in Dingbei Hou Mansion before, there are some things that have to be guarded against.

While they were talking, Xiao Shaobei saw Rong Che walking towards them.
