Chapter 20: Befriending

Before she had to, who was the person who allied with Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun, and who was going to harm their family, Xie Qingyuan alone didn't have such a big ability, and Shen Yunyun's scourge was just icing on the cake.

There must be a net behind these two people, tightly pressing their Dingguo Mansion, so that Xie Qingyuan could get his wish so easily and kill her family.

So Ruan Cailing still has some understanding of the relationship in the court, for example, the relationship between her father and King Xuan is a little delicate, these two people have never stood in a unified position on the surface, these two are the emperor's right-hand men, but they quarrel constantly in the court every day.

And the gentle father often scolds King Xuan when he disagrees with him in the court, although she can't see those thrilling pictures with her own eyes, but she can still vaguely imagine it in her mind, and King Xuan is not angry and powerful in the court, but after returning home, she is very fond of Princess Xuan.

These two people don't seem to have any intersection, and they have different political views, so they should be hostile relations.

But occasionally, when she passed by her father's study and wanted to go to the embroidery yard to find her mother, she heard the conversation between her father and her brother, probably the content of which she didn't remember after she was sick, but all in all, it meant that her brother wanted to be friends with Gu Jinxi.

At that time, her impression of Gu Jinxi was only that of King Xuan's son, and she might have met in the palace.

The others didn't think much of it.

But now she feels that there should be a reason why her father wants her brother to have a good relationship with Gu Jinxi.

Thinking like this, Ruan Cailing looked at Gu Jinxi and Ruan Xuchen with more scrutiny, and these two people were also very complimentary, and Mu Bai and Qingrui couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Ling'er, my mother likes to eat the milk cake bought at the stall over there, you go and buy some for your mother, oh yes, it must be fresh." Ruan Xuchen said to Ruan Cailing.

Ruan Cailing, who was holding a handkerchief with her hands on her lap, was thinking about finding some excuse to go out and let off steam, Ruan Xuchen spoke at the right time, she nodded busily, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it now!" Qingrui doesn't go quickly! ”

"Slow down! Look at the steps! Ruan Xuchen stared at Ruan Cailing's back uneasily.

This girl, I don't know what to think, I was tired of being by Gu Jinxi's side just now, and she ran as fast as a rabbit at this time!

After Ruan Cailing left, Gu Jinxi chuckled at Ruan Xuchen, "The milk cake here is indeed delicious, but it is still not comparable to the mung bean cake of Ruyi Zhai, I heard that Miss Ruan brought a lot of mung bean cake back to the house some time ago, can the prince eat it?" ”

It was still a polite greeting, Ruan Xuchen raised his hand and glanced at Mu Bai.

"This is the guard who grew up with me, don't mind." Gu Jinxi explained.

Since he is a person who can be trusted, then Ruan Xuchen has nothing to worry about.

He picked up the cup and just wanted to drink it when he remembered the taste of the tea here, and then put it down, Gu Jinxi looked at Ruan Xuchen's movements, and thought to himself, in the news, it is the tree Ruan Xuchen likes to drink tea, and it must be good tea, this looks like a person who has been raised with a mouth, and he can't drink the tea here.

Gu Jinxi instructed Mu Bai, "Go to Xiangrui Tea House to buy some good tea, I'm afraid the prince won't be used to drinking the tea here." ”

Mu Bai arched his hand, "Yes!" ”

"The two of us don't need to be so polite as a son, you just call me Xuchen."

Gu Jinxi nodded, and changed his words from the same as smooth, "Xuchen, you can just call me Jinxi." ”

"Okay, my meeting with you today was unexpected, but there are many things that we can't help but do." Ruan Xuchen's face was serious, and he was wary of the people around him.

"Indeed, the situation is turbulent, and there have been more people in the court and the Central Committee who respect the Nine Emperor Princes in recent days, and it seems that the people of the Nine Emperor Princes have infiltrated a lot, has the Dingguo Mansion ever thought of countermeasures?" Gu Jinxi asked rhetorically.

Ruan Qi hasn't told Ruan Xuchen about this matter yet, but Ruan Xuchen has his own opinions.

"The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince are both popular candidates for the crown prince, and our Dingguo Mansion will naturally stand on the side of the Xuanwang Mansion, but the premise is that we must protect ourselves in the current situation." Ruan Xuchen placed his jade bone fan in the center of the two people's teacups.

Gu Jinxi looked at Ruan Xuchen's movements, and probably understood the meaning of the Dingguo Mansion.

"Hmm."

This kind of place can't say much, the wall has ears, these two people are the best in the capital, many people will follow behind them, one side is to spy and the other is to monitor, when they make a choice, the people behind them will also make a choice.

But these two people have always believed that my fate is up to me, not to heaven.

How can others control their lives?

After the state affairs in the court were discussed, Ruan Xuchen was about to chat with Gu Jinxi about private matters, he raised his eyebrows, and his fingers bent on the table and knocked, "I always heard that the prince of the world is pure-hearted and not close to women, why do you drink tea with my sister?" ”

Gu Jinxi knew that Ruan Xuchen was going to protect the calf, so he chuckled, "Come and try which one is more delicious, the mung bean cake or Ruyi Zhai here." ”

"......" is the same as Ruan Cailing, Ruan Xuchen now feels sick to his stomach when he sees mung bean cake.

Gu Jinxi, you are ruthless enough!

"Miss, why are we coming out? You're still running so fast! I'm afraid the threshold will trip you! Qing Rui saw Ruan Cailing holding her skirt and couldn't stop looking back, she was very curious.

Ruan Cailing exhaled a long breath, fanned the cool breeze with her hand, glared at Qing Rui sideways, and poked a finger at Qing Rui's head, "You little fool, didn't you notice that the atmosphere was very solemn!" The eldest brother obviously has something to say to the prince! ”

"Our family is the son, and the opposite is also the son, this one is the son of the world, I am dizzy when I hear it!" Qingrui stuck out her tongue.

Yes, not only is she dizzy, but even Ruan Cailing is very dizzy, isn't this since the eldest brother gave an excuse, she will come out quickly!

The position of the eldest brother and Gu Jinxi is unknown, she has to find a way to bring these two together, right?

But after thinking about it, there is no particularly smooth way, after all, the road to chasing her husband is still long, where can you care about the relationship between my brother and Gu Jinxi! Forget it, let's talk about the relationship between myself and Gu Jinxi first!

"Eh, Miss, look who that is!" Qing Rui pointed to a young man in a white robe opposite, and his tone was full of banter.

Ruan Cailing hadn't found a stall to buy milk cake yet, and was bored looking casually, when she heard Qingrui's voice, she looked sideways.

I couldn't help but look cold.

Xie Qingyuan?

How can it be so coincidental?

Where is she going, where is this Xie Qingyuan?

"Why is he here?"
