Ji Yanning noticed Murong Yixue's gaze, she glanced in the direction of Murong Yixue, and then moved her eyes away, as if she was very disdainful.

Murong Yixue recalled that when he was in the Ren'an County Lord's Mansion that day, Ji Yanning was with Guo Xinyue at that time, and he also played chess with the third prince, and his chess skills were good.

However, Ji Yanning's identity was low, she didn't take it to heart, she didn't expect that on such an occasion, Ji Yanning would be able to get in.

"Yixue, what's wrong?"

The two girls standing beside Murong Yixue saw that her face was not good, and they followed her gaze and looked over, seeing Zheng Yuan and Ji Yanning.

One of them frowned and said, "Isn't that Zheng Yuan from the County Lord's Mansion?" ”

When Murong Yixue heard this, her deep eyes flowed, and she said in a low voice: "It seems to be a cousin from the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, and it seems that her family is in business." ”

As soon as she said this, the other two girls were a little incredulous.

"Merchant girl, even if she is the lady of the Shilang Mansion, she may not be able to enter this palace, she won't be an assassin, right?"

Murong Yixue was surprised: "Looking at her appearance, how could she be an assassin?"

The woman beside her said, "Even if you are not an assassin, you must have bad intentions, so it is better for us to come forward and ask for clarification." ”

As he spoke, he walked in the direction of Ji Yanning and Zheng Yuan.

Ji Yanning and Zheng Yuan were talking, when three women suddenly came in front of them, they paused for the reason of their words and looked up at these three people.

"This girl looks at the face, I don't know which lady it is?" asked the woman in pink unceremoniously.

This unkind tone made Zheng Yuan immediately frown and look at her: "What do you have to do with it?"

Since others didn't give a good face, she Zheng Yuan would not save face for the other party.

This temperament is very similar to the Lord of Ren'an.

The girl in pink said: "I didn't ask you, I asked her!"

Ji Yanning raised his eyes and looked at Murong Yixue, with a puzzled expression: "It is said that Miss Murong is talented, but how can she have such a poor memory, how can we say that we have also had a few encounters." ”

Murong Yixue didn't like Ji Yanning, but her face was not obvious, and she said, "Miss Ji, I do remember you...... But I don't know how Miss Ji is here?"

"Miss Yuan invited, so she naturally came. Ji Yanning said, "I am friends with Miss Yuan, so I know everything about Miss Murong." ”

Ji Yanning particularly bit these words clearly, and watched Murong Yixue's face turn pale, and she sneered in her heart.

The woman in pink said: "It's not a secret that they look the same! ”

"This is not your courtesy, who is invited and what does it matter to you!, it is too lenient!" Zheng Yuan retorted, "If you don't like it, no one will let you stay." ”

The woman in pink disagreed: "She is a lowly businesswoman, why can't I say it?"

Ji Yanning said lightly: "Naturally, you can say it, but please don't theorize in front of me, you should go and inform the old lady, because I entered the palace with her." Since this young lady thinks so much about the Yuan Mansion, I think the old lady will be grateful to you. ”

"You!" the woman in pink was furious, "You are shameless!"

Ji Yanning took out the old lady and told them clearly that this was the Yuan family's courtesy, and he came after the pain of the Yuan family, and no one else was qualified to point fingers.

Zheng Yuan snorted coldly and sneered: "Who is shameless, he is in a hurry to take care of other people's affairs before he leaves the cabinet." ”

Seeing that the woman in pink had lost the upper hand, Murong Yixue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's my fault, I didn't expect that Miss Ji was a distinguished guest invited by the Yuan family, and we were abrupt." ”

Ji Yanning glanced at her and knew that this person really liked to let others come out, showing that he was kind and generous.

Another woman said, "Well, we can't be like that." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and left with Murong Yixue.

Ji Yanning's face didn't matter, she was not a fool, she naturally knew that it was Murong Yixue who was the obstacle.

When they met for the first time, they formed a relationship, and when she was in the county lord's mansion, she also knew that Murong Yixue was disgusted with her, and with Yuan Jiaojiao's matter, Ji Yanning no longer had any hope for this legendary high-quality noblewoman.

As Mrs. Murong said, in the events of the year, Murong Yixue was the victim, but the choices she made had already reflected her heart.

"Aren't you actually angry?" Zheng Yuan looked at Ji Yanning's indifferent face, a little incomprehensible, "It's really hateful that they are so excessive." ”

Zheng Yuan is the young lady of the county lord's mansion, naturally no one would dare to be so rude to her on weekdays, after all, her temperament is not bullied, so seeing that they look down on Ji Yanning like this, she feels very tight in her heart.

Ji Yanning said: "What they said is right, my background is indeed humble, and there is nothing to refute." ”

"What is your background, that is also the guest brought by the old lady, and they are slapping the face of the Yuan Mansion by doing this. Zheng Yuan said, "So you don't have to be afraid of them." ”

Ji Yanning smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of them, I just think that such a person, why bother with them." ”

Zheng Yuan nodded, and his anger disappeared a little.

It's just that her impression of Murong Yixue and those two women in her heart is a little worse, no wonder her grandmother doesn't let herself deal with them.

It didn't take long for the ceremony to begin.

The vocal music sounded, and everyone looked towards the stage not far away, only to see Yuan Jiaojiao wearing black clothes and red-edged clothes and shoes, with a calm expression, a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes were looking ahead.

The people in the guest table were all amazed when they saw Yuan Jiaojiao, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Murong Yixue, and found that the two of them were really very similar.

Murong Yixue was sitting on her seat, quietly sitting on her seat, her eyes looking intently in the direction of Yuan Jiaojiao, as if she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

With the rhythm of the music and the praise of Taichang Temple, Yuan Jiaojiao followed the etiquette step by step in an orderly manner, without the slightest confusion, in the greetings over and over again, Yuan Jiaojiao had changed into a whole set of dresses after several trips back and forth.

The bright red large-sleeved dress lined her skin even fairer, and she bowed to the sky, and the queen, as the guest of honor, slowly stepped forward, inserted the phoenix hairpin that had been pure gold into her bun, and helped her up, facing the guests.

Yuan Jiaojiao's dress undoubtedly amazed everyone present, her words and deeds were so elegant, her smile and smile were moving, compared to the ceremony held by Murong Yixue, who looked very similar to her a few days ago, it was even better.

Almost all of the guests present were women, and they did not hesitate to praise Yuan Jiaojiao.

But Murong Yixue's face was a little tense.

She originally thought that Yuan Jiaojiao had been suffering outside for many years, and she must not know anything, how could she be compared to her?

She still remembered that she had put a lot of thought into learning the rules, but she didn't expect Yuan Jiaojiao to do it easily, she was unwilling.

The queen standing on the ceremonial platform took Yuan Jiaojiao's hand and said to everyone: "The ceremony of Yuan Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Great General Weiyuan's mansion, has been completed, thank you for your gracious participation! Jiaojiao, as the daughter of the Yuan Mansion, is the rise and fall of the Yuan Mansion, and the palace believes that she will be better in the future." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao saluted everyone, and when she saw Ji Yanning in the crowd, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

Her smile is like a spring breeze, which reflects her outstanding appearance, which makes everyone a little envious.

Such a smile is something Murong Yixue has never had, but it makes people feel even more close.

"Sure enough, it looks like you, otherwise how could it be so good-looking when you laugh. The woman in pink turned her head and said to Murong Yixue.

Murong Yixue didn't say a word, and the hand under her sleeve was already clenched.

Seeing her like this, another woman said, "No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to Yixue, not to mention that Yixue is still a talented girl, a noble girl in Chang'an, how can she be compared to her halfway out." ”

The woman in pink didn't pay attention to Murong Yixue's expression, and when she heard her friend say this, she could only purse her lips and whisper, "They all look similar, how can they compare?"

Murong Yixue looked at her mother, only to see that her mother was only staring at Yuan Jiaojiao on the stage, and her expression seemed to be very moved.

Her eyes were downcast, and she was irritable.

At the end of the ceremony, Ji Yanning asked people to inform the old lady that she went back with Zheng Yuan, and when no one left, she followed Zheng Yuan in the direction of the palace.

Yuan Jiaojiao and the old lady must be busy today, she can't help, instead of waiting in the palace, it is better to go back first.

Zheng Yuan is a straightforward person, Ji Yanning gets along with her very happily, and the two of them walk on the path in the palace.

"Miss Ji, wait. ”

Before Ji Yanning and Zheng Yuan had reached half the distance, they heard the voice of a eunuch behind them.

When they looked back, they saw that it was the third prince, and there was a little eunuch with them to help talk.

The two of them saluted one after another: "I have seen the three princes." ”

Rong Qi looked at Ji Yanning, but bowed slightly, signaling that they didn't have to be polite.

He made a few gestures, and the little eunuch on the side said, "Your Highness asked if you just came out of Shouning Palace?"

Ji Yanning said: "Back to Your Highness, yes." As soon as Miss Yuan's ceremony was completed, we came out. ”

Rong Qi waved his hand, as if he wanted the little eunuch to take out something.

The little eunuch handed over a wooden box in his hand and said, "Your Highness said that I played chess with you last time, and I thought you were very good at chess, so I gave you a set of glass chess pieces." ”

Ji Yanning was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect the third prince to stop her in order to send her something.

However, she knew that it was definitely not because of any good chess skills, it should be for her detoxification.

Since he couldn't reward or repay anything in the open, he found a reason to give her something.

She said unceremoniously, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
