Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wood Is Finished
After the so-called betting farce ended, Ruan Cailing, Ruan Xuchen and others rested in Gu Jinxi's room, and there was still a group of people gathered outside, but Ruan Cailing felt that the overall situation had been decided, and it didn't matter if they were staring at Xie Qingyuan outside or not.
Just now Ji Jingyan looked at Xie Qingyuan's eyes, she was too familiar.
This little county lord who is ignorant of the world is just like himself back then, he was deceived by Xie Qingyuan's good looks and so-called gentleman's style, Ruan Cailing suddenly felt a headache, not because she was compassionate and worried about Ji Jingyan.
It's just that I'm afraid that after Xie Qingyuan relies on the power of the Ping Wangfu to rise, it will be even more difficult for her.
"What does this Anyang County Lord mean? Ling'er, did you see An Yang's eyes staring at Xie Qingyuan! Tsk, what did she think? The priceless exquisite jade pendant can be given away as a bet, the key is that Xie Qingyuan doesn't want it! Su Wanyue chattered endlessly in Ruan Cailing's ear.
Ruan Cailing held her forehead with one hand.
Xie Qingyuan wanted far more than money, after she fell into the water, her father gave Xie Qingyuan a hundred taels of gold, if Xie Qingyuan was for money, he would not have refused at that time.
But he didn't ask for it, which would leave a gentlemanly style in the minds of outsiders, which would naturally attract attention.
Especially Fang Cai, Xie Qingyuan helped Ji Jingyan tie the jade pendant back, and Ji Jingyan's expression already said everything.
It's a bit of a tough thing to do!
Ruan Cailing completely forgot this, in Xie Qingyuan's opinion, if she can't go this way, she will naturally choose another path, and Pingwangfu is the best choice, her identity is on an equal footing with the county lord of Anyang, but the status of Pingwangfu is very high.
With the blessing of the Ping Palace, Xie Qingyuan's future progress will be simpler.
"Ruan Ruan, what do you think?" Since Xie Qingyuan talked to Ji Jingyan, Gu Jinxi found that Ruan Cailing had a solemn expression, Gu Jinxi knew that Ruan Cailing was worried, but she didn't know how to share it.
What else can you think!
"Xie Qingyuan is quite scheming, but I think Xie Qingyuan can't do it alone, it's obvious that there are still people behind Xie Qingyuan! But I don't have any thoughts about the people behind Xie Qingyuan, what do you think, big brother Jinxi? ”
This matter is not simple, Su Wanyue and Ruan Cailing are both women in the boudoir, even if they have a plan, they are not as well-informed as a man like Ruan Xuchen, and they still need the opinions of these two people.
Ruan Xuchen felt that Xie Qingyuan obviously intended to approach the county lord of Anyang, but his people had also investigated for a long time, although Xie Qing would regularly contact a mysterious person, but there was no way, this person was hiding too deeply, and his people couldn't investigate it at all.
"Brother Gu, what about your people? Although Xiyin's Yanhua Building is located in the downtown area, after all, the information they get is limited, how are you there? ”
Ruan Cailing looked at Gu Jinxi.
On that day, Lin Yicheng's concubine's birthday, he saw Ruan Cailing so anxious and nervous, and knew that things were not simple, Gu Jinxi secretly investigated the relationship between Xie Qingyuan and Lin Yicheng, and it was obvious that there was no communication between the two, so Xie Qingyuan could not be the person of the right prime minister.
The right prime minister Lin Yicheng relied on his concubine behind him, and the top priority was to know where that concubine was.
"I have always been in secret contact with several important ministers in the court, but I heard from others that Lin Yicheng's concubine was captured by bandits outside the gate, and was rescued and sent to the capital, and finally married Lin Yicheng, don't you think it's too coincidental?"
Outside the border?
Ruan Cailing thought about it, if she said that outside the pass, according to her memory in her previous life, this pass was almost the territory of Mu Yichen, the ninth prince, because Mu Yichen was proficient in the method of military training, and the emperor was also very satisfied with this, so he ordered Mu Yichen to resist foreign enemies outside the pass to hone his will.
So, does that woman's appearance have anything to do with Mu Yichen?
In Ruan Cailing's memory, he has never intersected with the Nine Emperors, but this person appears all the time, in the previous life, among the three princes and the nine princes, it was the Nine Emperors who finally won the victory.
Among them, the Dingguo Mansion is also counted, so Ruan Cailing also guessed that the death of the eldest brother in his previous life was related to the Nine Emperor Princes.
is puzzled, he has never met Mu Yichen, why did this person put the abacus on himself and the Dingguo Mansion? If all this makes sense, then Xie Qingyuan's first encounter with himself and the final tie are all within Mu Yichen's calculations.
Why did Mu Yichen do this?
This matter has fallen dust in everyone's hearts, Ruan Cailing naturally couldn't fall asleep at night in General Jingkang's mansion, her eyes were open almost until dawn, and her mind was always thinking about the relationship between various people, this Nine Emperor Prince was a stranger to her, at least she had never seen such a person in her previous life.
But from the beginning of the change of fate, this person has been ringing in his ears all the time, not only from the mouths of Shen Yunyun and Xie Qingyuan, but also from the eldest brother who went to join the army, not to mention his father.
A person who comes up all the time, it's not completely okay.
Something must have been forgotten by her, and she had to remember it as soon as possible.
The next day, it was the marriage between Shangshufu and Bai Hanyin, and it was lively, and everyone sat in the banquet and watched Bai Hanyin and Shangshufu worship heaven and earth.
Ruan Cailing's hands were entangled, and she looked at the red wedding dress with a lot of emotion in her heart.
She subconsciously went to find Gu Jinxi's position, as the prince, he and his brother sat at the bottom of Mu Yizuo, which was considered a very high position, and she sat with Ji Jingyan, the lord of Anyang County.
Today's wedding ceremony, above the main hall, a person of Xie Qingyuan's status can't enter, so Ji Jingyan also looked at Bai Hanyin very honestly.
"This is not the exquisite jade pendant that Anyang bet on yesterday? Why are you still on your body? Ruan Cailing pretended to have just seen Ji Jingyan's jade pendant, and reached out and touched it with a little surprise.
Ji Jingyan and Ruan Cailing haven't seen each other since the last time, they robbed the Lantian jade bracelet, and they were a little embarrassed to see Ji Jingyan for the first time yesterday, but Ruan Cailing didn't greet her with a mustard, this girl is also a child, and she quickly forgot about it.
She looked down and saw that Ruan Cailing's shallot-like fingers were familiar accessories.
"Well, the victorious Xie Gongzi said that it was not for money, but just for a lottery, so he returned it to me, isn't it very gentlemanly?" Ji Jingyan asked Ruan Cailing with a smile.
Ruan Cailing looked at Ji Jingyan's eyes, and after a while, she shifted her gaze and nodded, "Yes, this Gongzi Xie is also quite famous in the capital, but it is rare to see you in Anyang so optimistic about a man." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Jingyan's face suddenly flushed slightly, and she said a little embarrassed, "This Gongzi Xie is different!" Don't Sister Ruan think so? ”
"It's okay, I don't know Gongzi Xie well, and I haven't met many times, I heard about it from other people's mouths, but Anyang, ah......"
The words of advice came to her mouth but she swallowed it, how should she tell Ji Jingyan?
said that she had married Xie Qingyuan in her previous life, and knew that Xie Qingyuan was using you, so you shouldn't get too close? How do you say that?
She sighed softly, everyone's lives are different, and she can't control everything in the applause.
"Sister Ruan, what do you have to say?" Ji Jingyan saw that Ruan Cailing was about to speak and stopped, and asked suspiciously.
Ruan Cailing shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about what will happen to Bai Hanyin after she marries." ”
"What else could I do!" When it came to this, Ji Jingyan was a little disdainful.
She is the rightful county lord, and she is also the sister of the third prince, and she has always been worried about Bai Hanyin's love for the three princes.
"It's not that Bai Hanyin is bad, it's just that compared with the third brother, it's still worse!" Ji Jingyan raised her head and said, looking very proud.
Her royal brother is the third prince, so he is naturally proud, and Ruan Cailing can understand it.
That's it, Ji Jingyan is a child's heart, maybe this interest will pass in two days, besides, Xie Qingyuan is nothing, just a scholar, even if Ji Jingyan likes Xie Qingyuan, the king of Ping and the emperor may not be able to get by.
It's hard to say what will happen in the future.
After the wedding was held, everyone began to prepare to leave, Ruan Cailing stood by the carriage early, but Ruan Xuchen, Ruan Qi and others were all greeting acquaintances, and it seemed that it would not be a short time.
"Miss Ruan is well!"
Ruan Cailing was bored, so she took out the scroll from the carriage and looked at it, and just after reading a few pages, she heard a voice coming from overhead, Ruan Cailing was surprised, raised her head, and suddenly saw Mu Yizuo's smiling face.
She hurriedly accepted the scroll and wanted to salute, but Mu Yizuo stopped her, "You don't have to salute, I'm just here to say goodbye to Miss Ruan." ”
"The third prince is careful all the way." Ruan Cailing said lightly.
At this time, the third prince came to her, wouldn't she come to settle accounts with Bai Hanyin for the matter that she was going to elope with him?
She thought that Gu Jinxi had already settled this matter!
Raising his head, his eyes wandered, subconsciously looking for the location of Gu Jinxi and Ruan Xuchen, Mu Yizuo smiled when he looked at Ruan Cailing's pretending to be calm and actually very nervous.
Ruan Cailing was confused, what was Mu Yizuo laughing at? How could these three princes be moody?
"Miss Ruan, don't worry, I'm really just here to say hello, not to settle accounts."
Ruan Cailing raised her eyebrows and looked at the authenticity of Mu Yizuo's words, but Mu Yizuo didn't bring anyone with her, and came to the Dingguo Mansion alone, so she shouldn't have come to put up a fight, Ruan Cailing was a little more relaxed.
"It's really rare to want to get out of the palace, it's rare to have the opportunity to come out and shop, but I'm going back so soon, the palace! The palace gate compound, you can't get in from the outside, you can't get out from the inside! I don't know who it's locked up! Mu Yizuo said with emotion.
From the very beginning, Ruan Cailing knew that life within the palace walls was not easy, so she never had the luxury of expecting it.
"What do you mean by this, Third Prince? You are a pampered prince, what's so difficult? ”
