Chapter 9: Rivalry

The noon sun shone on her body crisp and warm, this was a rare good weather since she entered the house, Yue Jin decided to go for a break.

The environment in the house is quiet, even if it is about to enter winter, there are still a little unknown small flowers dotted among them, the strange stones of the bamboo forest can be seen everywhere, the porch and window scenery are different in form but complement each other, it can really be said that it is a step by step and a heavy scene, and the scenery is different.

Yue Jin walked not far along the edge of the pond and saw Su Nian lying alone on the stone table in the water pavilion.

In fact, since Yue Jin asked Su Nian to raise the little emperor grandson by herself, they haven't met.

At that time, Yue Jin was troublesome and wanted to sleep for a while, so she canceled the rule of asking for good morning, but there was no reason to meet.

Yue Jin wanted to know more about her, so she stepped forward with this thought.

When I got closer, I noticed that there was a book in front of Su Nian, which was actually a rare Xuandi Zhu character. You must know that there are only a handful of books that can use this specification in the entire Tianze Continent.

Seeing that Yue Jin was coming, Su Nian smiled politely at her, rolled up the book on the table, put it in the bookcase beside her, and took it out again.

Yue Jin glanced at the text on the bookcase - "Tianze Zhi", and there was a symbol that she had never seen before, like a feather and a flower.

"These ancient books are very delicate, and they only dare to take them out in autumn and winter to see the light."

Su Nian slowly untied the book rope and gently spread it out, and the jade fingers slid over those ancient words in turn, revealing a stunned look.

"Tell the crown princess something interesting." Su Nian seemed to casually say the news he heard, "Someone told me today that you were kidnapped by gangsters on the old city tower last night. ”

"Huh?" Yue Jin was taken aback.

Su Nian's gaze swept over Yue Jin's face, and said, "What those people said is impressive, if I didn't know that you didn't leave the house yesterday, I'm afraid you would have to believe it." ”

"It's disgusting." Yue Jin replied with a weak heart.

"Yes, under the pretext of being grandiose, but with an unknown purpose. This kind of person is indeed hateful. ”

Su Nian obviously didn't look at Yue Jin, but Yue Jin felt that her words were directed at herself.

Yue Jin was thinking about how to answer, Su Nian took out an invitation card and handed it to her: "Three days later, Concubine Kang is going to hold an autumn water banquet in Heyuan, and this morning the palace sent an invitation, and you were still resting at that time, so you sent it to me." ”

"Autumn Water Banquet?"

"Well, the autumn water banquet is a palace banquet held at the turn of autumn and winter every year, and the participants are usually princesses and princesses, and of course the boudoir women can also come if they are invited."

"Wouldn't there be a lot of rules like that?" Yue Jin said worriedly.

"Sort of." Su Nian nodded, and then said with relief, "But the crown princess doesn't have to care too much, according to your identity, as long as you don't contradict Concubine Kang and a few mothers, no one will dare to accuse you." ”

It seems that this identity is still beneficial, Yue Jin couldn't help but be complacent.

Yue Jin and Su Nian chatted without saying a word, and after Su Nian put the last scroll in the bookcase and locked it, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Why did you want to get married?" ”

"Because...... A promise. ”

"Promise?"

Yue Jin didn't speak, and no one would believe what she said, but it would cause unwarranted suspicion.

Seeing that Yue Jin looked lost and depressed, Su Nian pressed and asked, "You said that you were in love with Your Highness at the time, is this false?" ”

Yue Jin hesitated and decided to try to confess, so she nodded and said, "It's really just an excuse, but it's actually ......."

Su Nian raised his hand to stop her, and said, "Then I'll be bold enough to guess, in fact, you haven't seen His Highness before, right?" ”

Yue Jin was stunned for a moment, and accidentally knocked over the bookcase next to the table, and the books were scattered all over the ground. She hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, but suddenly realized that Su Nian had locked the box.

Yue Jin's hand as she picked up the scroll froze, sensing Su Nian's shadow falling on her. She stood up with the scroll in her hand, took a few steps back, and thought about the reason and route for leaving.

"Guess right?" Su Nian couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud, "Don't be nervous, I'm so terrible, and I won't eat you." ”

"You really guessed?" Yue Jin realized that Su Nian would not let her go easily, so she simply sat down on the table.

"If you had evidence, you wouldn't ask that."

"When did you guess?"

Now Yue Jin just wants to know when she showed her feet.

"If you say it's the first time we meet, would you believe it?"

"So I'm so obvious." Yue Jin laughed at herself, should she express her admiration for Su Nian's keenness, or should she be ashamed of her clumsiness.

"Don't compete for favor, don't be jealous, these behaviors don't match the arrogant princess who dares to confront the emperor in public in order to marry her sweetheart."

Su Nianqu knocked on the stone table, and Yue Jin heard the sound of rustling behind her.

"So, may I ask Princess Shunhe of Beili, what is the purpose of your visit?" She kept a straight face, and the kindness and gentleness she had just had were gone.

"Because you're here."

Before Yue Jin could finish speaking, a hand was on her shoulder, and at the same time, her cheek was touched by a vine-like object.

"Don't give me a flamboyant tongue, or I'll cut your tongue." Sequoia warned her viciously.

Yue Jin sat there stiffly, and she didn't dare to come out.

Time passed minute by minute, and Su Nian didn't urge, just sat opposite and looked at her with a smile.

The rattan whip pounded restlessly on the stone table.

Da, da, da.

All at once, it all knocked on Yue Jin's heart.

Sequoia was running out of patience, and her strength to hold Yue Jin down was getting stronger and stronger.

Yue Jin wanted to tell Su Nian the reason for everything, but for some reason, she couldn't say a word when it came to her mouth.

"I don't want to forget it, so let's move on to the next topic." Su Nian called Sequoia back to him, raised his hand and pointed to the bookbox and said, "Does Princess Shunhe feel familiar?" ”

Yue Jin shook her head first, then nodded.

"What do you mean?"

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard Younan say that Hanshu retains the original copy of "Tianze Zhi"."

"Younan." Su Nian pondered, "The one who was taken away by the government this morning?" ”

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Just make sure." Su Nian looked at Yue Jin, who was dazed, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Why are these primaries here?" Yue Jin was a little curious.

"His Royal Highness borrowed one of the volumes a few days ago, and I was planning to bring it with me during the autumn water banquet, but I didn't expect the news of the theft of Luming Hall, so I put it together with some replica manuscripts for safety reasons."

Hearing Su Nian say this, Yue Jin hurriedly took out the two volumes and compared them, and the content was really the same.

"That'...... Can this still be distinguished? ”

"Perhaps, who knows."

Su Nian got up and walked outside the water pavilion: "By the way, this kind of thing is enough to go out of the house without permission, once in a while, if there are too many times, you can't explain it clearly." ”

Yue Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Did you know it from the beginning?" ”

Su Nian turned around and didn't answer directly, she smiled lightly on her forehead: "Those who can be bought by a piece of gold leaf can naturally be taken away by more gold leaves." ”
