The marriage date of the second prince and Murong Yixue is getting closer and closer, and the war in the north has also been ignited.

The Yan soldiers were menacing and planned to capture Yingcheng, but the strong Dingbei army did not waste its reputation, and after several battles, the Yan soldiers did not get a bargain.

Ji Yanning knew that the four princes would not die to her, to be precise, they would not die to Baochang, but she didn't expect them to meet again so soon.

She just took a carriage out of the door, but on the way back, the wheels of the carriage suddenly broke.

She was about to ride back, but she didn't expect a carriage to come out from behind, it was the fourth prince.

Ji Yanning didn't even have to think about what was going on.

The guards of the fourth prince came over and said, "Miss Ji, Your Highness said that he can go back to the house from you, please get into the carriage." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "No need, I'll wait here for my cousin to pick me up, don't bother Your Highness." ”

The guard seemed to be a little embarrassed when he heard Ji Yanning's words.

Ji Yanning glanced around, she happened to walk to a relatively secluded street, there were no shops around, only one or two tea shops not far away to rest, and the rest were places to sell some groceries.

She asked the guards to get the carriage aside for the carriage behind her, and then walked towards the small tea shop not far away.

The fourth prince waited for a while without waiting for Ji Yanning to get into his carriage, frowning slightly, and then heard the guard report outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Miss Ji said that there is no need to trouble Your Highness, she can wait for the carriage from Liufu to pick her up." ”

Hearing the guard's words, the eyes of the four princes sank slightly.

It seems that this Ji Yanning is really avoiding him.

Whether it was his first encounter in Huguo Temple at the beginning, or his design in the teahouse later, or now, Ji Yanning seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him, and he didn't seem to want to be with him at all.

If it is an ordinary lady from a family, I am afraid that it is too late to be happy, she is a merchant girl, and she is so calm.

A smile appeared on the corner of the fourth prince's mouth, he didn't believe it, a mere merchant girl from Jiangzhou, could he still take it?

He lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage, and then saw Ji Yanning sitting in a simple small tea shed not far away.

The small tea shed was set under the eaves of the house by the roadside, with a few small tables set up simply, and the proprietors were an elderly couple with gray hair.

Just seeing such a place, the fourth prince felt that he couldn't stay in such a place, but when he saw Ji Yanning sitting on a stool, talking and laughing with the old couple, as if he didn't mind at all, she was not abrupt at all sitting in such a place.

The fourth prince immediately stepped forward and came to Ji Yanning's side.

Ji Yanning raised his head and was slightly stunned, then got up and was about to salute, but was stopped by the fourth prince: "You don't have to be polite outside." ”

"Yes. Ji Yanning lowered his eyes and said.

The fourth prince glanced at the table and stool, never sat down, but said to Ji Yanning: "I saw that Miss Ji's carriage broke down just now, why don't I go back to Liufu from you?"

Ji Yanning said: "Don't bother Your Highness, I have already asked the guards to go back and change to another carriage, it won't take much time, not to mention that I am also a little thirsty, and I am about to drink tea." ”

The fourth prince looked at Ji Yanning, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes: "Miss Ji seems to be deliberately avoiding me?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. Ji Yanning said, "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, and the little woman naturally doesn't dare to conflict with you, so she doesn't deliberately want to hide." ”

The fourth prince said: "Since it's not hiding, then I'll send you home, there is good tea on the carriage." Last time, I saw Miss Ji's superb chess skills, and I wanted to ask for advice by the way. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, these four princes were really difficult.

That's it, if she refuses again, it will seem that she has a ghost in her heart.

"Your Highness. ”

A person suddenly walked out from behind Ji Yanning, stepped forward and saluted the four princes.

Ji Yanning was quite familiar with this voice, and when he looked back, he saw Shen Qingyi, who was already standing here at some point.

The four princes naturally knew Shen Qingyi, this year's new champion, a family from the Shen family in Cangzhou.

"Shen Gongzi. The fourth prince was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Shen Qingyi said: "I happened to be passing by, and I heard that Miss Ji's carriage was broken, and I was about to send her back to Liufu." ”

The fourth prince frowned lightly without moving: "Shen Gongzi and Miss Ji know each other?"

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't speak.

Shen Qingyi said: "I have a marriage contract with Miss Ji. ”

Ji Yanning turned his head to look at him, and just wanted to refute, but saw Shen Qingyi turning his head to look at his smile, which was as gentle as the sunshine in March, without a trace of impurities.

He just wanted to help him out.

The fourth prince was slightly stunned, secretly surprised in his heart, and then said: "I see, this prince doesn't know that Miss Ji has already made a marriage." ”

He also claimed that everything had changed.

He knew that many people in the Liu family looked down on Ji Yanning before, and there were many sons of the family who came to propose marriage, and he had never heard anyone from the Liu family say that Ji Yanning had a marriage contract.

Shen Qingyi said: "The marriage contract made when I was a child is just because Miss Ji is still in the filial piety period, so she has not yet married. ”

After listening to Shen Qingyi's explanation, the fourth prince glanced at Ji Yanning, and saw that she did not refute, and felt a little lost in his heart.

He smiled: "I see, Shen Gongzi and Miss Ji are really a good couple, and they are very compatible." ”

Shen Qingyi said: "Your Highness has praised it. ”

"The prince left first. ”

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he turned around and walked back in the direction of his carriage, got into the carriage directly, and headed in the direction of the palace.

Watching the carriage of the four princes drift away, Shen Qingyi turned back to Ji Yanning and said, "I'll send you back to Liufu." ”

Ji Yanning didn't move, but said, "It's okay, I can ride a horse, and I don't need to be sent by others." ”

Shen Qingyi's eyes moved slightly, and said, "It happened suddenly just now, and I hope Miss Ji doesn't mind." ”

"You also said that it happened suddenly, just to relieve the siege. Ji Yanning glanced at him and said, "If you talk about it, I should thank you." ”

Shen Qingyi said: "But if it spreads......

"It doesn't matter. Ji Yanning said, although she and Shen Qingyi have dissolved the marriage contract, but few people know about it, even if it spreads, she is still happy to be quiet.

Shen Qingyi said: "Miss Ji is better to stay away from the second prince and the fourth prince." ”

Ji Yanning looked at him: "Why?"

She didn't understand how Shen Qingyi could come out to help her at this time.

Shen Qingyi was silent for a moment and said, "It's easy to be discovered by them." ”

Ji Yanning narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Qingyi in front of him: "What do you mean?"

There were not many pedestrians on the main street, and they were standing in the tea shed, and the old woman came up with a plate of cold dishes.

"Let's sit down and talk, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" asked the old woman.

Shen Qingyi turned her head to look at the old woman and said gently, "No." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes were still fixed on him.

"The matter of the five princes. Shen Qingyi said, "The pianist at that time was you. ”

On the day of the Oiran election, Shen Qingyi was present.

In addition to her own dancing skills, as well as the beautiful music played by the mysterious luthier, the two worked together seamlessly, which made people feel amazing.

He knew at that time that Ji Yanning was the masked piano master, who spent all his efforts to assassinate the five princes, but he couldn't find her accomplice after they all died, and he was also worried that Ji Yanning would be discovered.

When he was in Cangzhou, Shen Qingyi had seen Ji Yanning's piano skills, and it was definitely beyond the reach of very many people.

There was no trace of ripple in Ji Yanning's deep eyes, she chuckled lightly and said, "So you helped me because you were afraid that I would be discovered?"

Shen Qingyi said: "Yes." ”

Ji Yanning said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I thank you very much for helping me, but I still want to tell you that we have already withdrawn from our relatives, and weddings and funerals have nothing to do with each other, so it is impossible for me to marry again." ”

There were some things she had to make clear.

Shen Qingyi lowered his eyes and chuckled, with a hint of bitterness: "Friends can also help each other." ”

"Well, I've made a note of this favor. Ji Yanning said, "I will have a chance to return you in the future." ”

After she finished speaking, she walked towards her guard, took the horse rope in the guard's hand, stepped on the horse easily, glanced at Shen Qingyi, and said, "Farewell." ”

She rode away, leaving only a back.

Shen Qingyi stood in place, a little lonely in his deep eyes, and then chuckled and shook his head.

Within two days, many people knew that Ji Yanning and Shen Qingyi had a marriage contract.

An's was very angry.

Obviously, they have already withdrawn from their relatives, this Shen Qingyi actually said such things, Yan Ning's family affairs are not settled, although when others ask, she will explain that she has already withdrawn her relatives, but it is not a glorious thing for a woman to be divorced, and she is always not good at talking.

"Even if you don't want to share a carriage with the four princes, you can't acquiesce to Shen Qingyi's statement!"

After listening to Ji Yanning's story about that day, An sighed, and didn't think that Shen Qingyi was helping Ji Yanning, which was obviously ruining her reputation!

As soon as he said this, who will come to propose marriage in the future?

Ji Yanning said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry so much, I still have two years left in this filial piety period, don't worry." ”

An said: "How can you not be in a hurry, even if you don't get married, you have to settle it first, otherwise you will wait for another two years, but you won't be so searchable." ”

Ji Yanning said: "I still want to eat and drink here all the time, but I didn't expect my aunt to be so anxious to marry Yan Ning?"

An said: "This child, isn't this aunt for you!"

Ji Yanning said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to leave Chang'an recently, and I don't know when I'm going to come back, my aunt can pick slowly for a long time." ”

An Shi was a little surprised: "Where to leave Chang'an?"

"If you want to deal with the business affairs of Bao Cheong Kee, go to the north. Ji Yanning said.
