Chapter 212: A Raccoon Dog
The capital of Chu was very prosperous, and the people on the street were endless, at this time, a young girl in ragged clothes came to Jing Yan's side, knelt down and said:
"Childe, Miss, give me a bite to eat, I haven't eaten for three days."
Yan Jinxi: "Okay, I'll give you the silver directly." β
"Thank you, Miss, Miss, Miss, is really a living Bodhisattva, Xiaoyan will repay Miss." The little girl kowtowed a few more times.
This little girl is really pitiful, Yan Jinxi couldn't help but be moved, but when she turned over her body, she found that there was not a penny.
She turned her head to look at Jing Yan, but Jing Yan was like frost and didn't want to pay attention to it.
"National teacher, do you have any silver?" Yan Jinxi asked.
"Yes." Then, he took out a pile of silver in his arms and handed it to Yan Jinxi.
"Xiao Yan, quickly take this ingot of silver and go buy food." Yan Jinxi said softly, with a very kind attitude.
"Thank you, Miss......" This Xiao Yan seemed to have something unspeakable, her lips moved, and she hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "Miss, I don't know if Miss Miss's maid is missing, Xiao Yan is willing to be Miss Miss's maid and serve you, I don't want to be paid, you just give me a bite to eat." β
After that, the watery eyes stared at Yan Jinxi, Yan Jinxi thought for a moment and said: "Little girl, I'm afraid this is not good, it is really not convenient at home, Jing Yan, you will give this little girl two more ingots of silver, right?" β
Jing Yan: "......"
This Yan Jinxi, why did he just think about pit him today, and when he asked for silver, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Jing Yan was about to take out the silver from his arms, but he noticed with his spare eyes that the little girl took out a short sword from her sleeve and was about to stab at Yan Jinxi.
Jing Yan's eyes were quick, and he snatched the little girl's short sword, and then easily subdued her.
"Tell me quickly, who sent you, and if you say it, I will spare you from death." Jing Yan shouted loudly, his voice couldn't help but make others shudder.
"Oh, don't think about it." When the little girl finished speaking, she took poison and committed suicide.
National teachers Jing Yan and Yan Jinxi shook their heads and continued to walk forward.
Jing Yan couldn't help but glance at Yan Jinxi's world-spilling face and asked, "Didn't you notice something unusual about this girl?" The motives were impure from the start. β
"Found it."
"Oh, let's hear it."
After that, Yan Jinxi began to analyze: "This little girl happened to meet on the street of Chuguo, but there are so many people on the street, it is a little suspicious to find the two of us, plus what Fang Cai said as a maid, it can almost be concluded that she has impure motives and deliberately approached us for some purpose." β
Jing Yan has long understood Yan Jinxi's cleverness, but through today's incident, Jing Yan once again appreciated Yan Jinxi's thoughtful thinking.
Slowly, the two of them came to Prime Minister Yan's mansion like this.
"Why did Miss Fourth come back?" Fu Ding's tone was a little yin and yang, but when he saw that behind Yan Jinxi was Jing Yan, the powerful national teacher of the current dynasty, he immediately became very polite and said, "The national teacher is here, please come soon." β
The national teacher didn't pay attention to the mansion of this force, which made him embarrassed.
The two were welcomed to the main hall by the maid of the Yan Mansion, and the maid said: "Master Guoshi, Fourth Miss, please wait a while, the prime minister will come over soon." β
There was a babbling sound outside the door, and sure enough, it was Yan Ningyan, who had done a good thing:
"Yo, it turns out that the national teacher is here, please take a seat."
Jing Yan didn't pay attention to Yan Ningyan, which made Yan Ningyan embarrassed for a while, and then he even began to flatter the national teacher Jing Yan again: "Master National Teacher, you are really powerful, and you can easily exterminate the Qingyan Village that the other generals have not exterminated for several months." β
Yan Jinxi said lightly: "Second sister, not all the time should move forward, as the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should be more reserved." β
Yan Ningyan didn't come anywhere, but he couldn't refute it, and pointed at Yan Jinxi and said, "You ......"
Yan Jinxi left the main hall, and not long after she left, Jing Yan also followed.
She snickered in her heart, it seemed that this national teacher couldn't stand this babbling Yan Ningyan anymore.
"Second Miss, Master Guoshi, the old lady and the prime minister invite the two of you to the main hall for a visit, there are important matters to discuss." Old Madam Yan's maid Lu'er came over at this time to report.
"Okay, I'll go."
β¦β¦
Old Madam Yan's health gradually became better under Langzhong's treatment, and it seemed that there was something urgent about being helped to the main hall by the maids on this day.
"Master Guoshi, Jinxi, you two sit down." Seeing these two coming, the old lady of the Yan family said kindly.
Yan Jinxi couldn't help but wonder what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"Jinxi, at the celebration banquet that day, the emperor seemed to be interested in you, and besides, your sister is the queen, if you enter the palace, then your future will definitely be very good." Prime Minister Yan finally explained his intentions.
"Yes, Jinxi, to be able to get the emperor's favor is a blessing that many women can't cultivate in a few lifetimes." Mrs. Yan, Zhao Lanjun, was also helping on the side.
Heh, Yan Jinxi couldn't help but sneer, it turned out that she wanted to curry favor with that Shen Luo and send her to the palace, but it seemed that the queen and the emperor didn't know.
The Yan family simply wanted to dedicate her to Shen Luo and please Shen Luo, and take the opportunity to consolidate the position of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Empress Yan Ziran in the harem.
β¦β¦
"The prime minister didn't take me Jingyan in his eyes." Jing Yan, who had not spoken, asked, "Could it be that the Prime Minister thinks that his position is too smooth?" β
This was the first time Yan Jinxi saw Jing Yan threatening Prime Minister Yan for her, and she was stunned.
"No, no, Lord Jing misunderstood, Xia Guan definitely didn't mean that." Jing Yan's words shocked Prime Minister Yan, and then realized that he had offended Jing Yan, and said again and again with a smiling face.
Jing Yan didn't continue to pay attention to him, and for a while, the prime minister's situation was a little embarrassing, and then Yan Jinxi stood up and said:
"Grandmother, father, mother, Jinxi thinks it's not suitable for me to enter the palace, I'm just a concubine of the Yan family, with a low status, even if I enter the palace, it won't be of much help to the queen's sister." Yan Jinxi's clear eyes at this time revealed a hint of cunning at this time, "It's better for the second sister to enter the palace, this is the most suitable way." β
Jing Yan was once again impressed by this Yan Jinxi, she was so sharp-toothed, this trick of using the way of others to govern her body was really wonderful.
Yan Jinxi's words actually moved Prime Minister Yan and Zhao Lanjun a little, and there was indeed some truth in these words.
Yan Ningyan saw that this situation was not good, her face turned blue with anger, she persuaded her father and mother to let Yan Jinxi enter the palace, and finally moved her father and mother, but it turned into this situation again because of Yan Jinxi's words.
"No, father, mother, Ning Yan already has a heart, how can Ning Yan enter the palace to share her favor with the queen's sister?" Yan Ningyan couldn't help refusing, and at the same time found a high-sounding reason.
Yan Jinxi looked at Yan Ningyan with that sharp look and said: "Second sister, why don't you sacrifice for the status of the Yan family, the queen's sister doesn't mind, besides, the emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he is wise and martial, how many girls from Chu Kingdom dream of marrying the emperor." β
"You ......" Yan Ningyan was speechless for a while, Yan Jinxi said it was reasonable, and she couldn't argue at all.
"That's it, that's it, this matter will be discussed another day, the national teacher is still in our Yan family, don't let the national teacher see the joke." Old Madam Yan, who was sitting on the upper seat, had long been extremely impatient with all this, and she had already seen enough of the battle between the hearts of these people in the Yan Mansion.
β¦β¦
Everyone didn't continue to say anything, and they parted unhappily, Yan Jinxi said a word to the old lady, and prepared to go back to the room first.
Before she had taken a few steps, the exceptionally cold voice of the national teacher came from behind her:
"Fourth Miss."
Why is this person ghostly, Yan Jinxi muttered quietly. She had no choice but to turn back, and at the same time stopped.
"May I ask what else is going on with the National Teacher? I want to go back to my room and rest. There was a hint of detachment and impatience in her words.
"It turns out that in your eyes, the emperor is wise and martial, and he is handsome and abnormal? Is that so? Jing Yan's eyes instantly turned cold, and others couldn't tell her joy and anger, "Miss Yan can enter the palace, and after becoming the imperial concubine, she will have endless glory and wealth, and Jing Yan can also help you." β
Yan Jinxi: "You ......"
How could this unfathomable national teacher say these words in front of her today, did he want to let himself enter the palace so much? Yan Jinxi unexpectedly discovered that she had never been so incomprehensible to the person in front of her as she was today.
"My affairs have nothing to do with the National Teacher, is the National Teacher meddling?" Yan Jinxi looked at the peerless face of the national teacher and said, "The thing that came to the rescue today is just to repay the favor, and the national teacher must not think about it." β
After Yan Jinxi finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards Xilan Garden.
Originally, she thought that after all these times, her relationship with the national teacher would be closer, and she would no longer be as distant as before.
However, Jing Yan's words were like a highly venomous scorpion, stung deep in her heart.
The hour was not early, and at this moment, the sunset in the distance outside the capital of Chu State was glowing with bloody red, just like her current state of mind.
It wasn't until today that she realized that she was naΓ―ve, whether it was Shen Luo or Jing Yan, they were all raccoon dogs.
She reminded herself again, this is the last time, and she must not be as innocent as in her previous life in the future, when the loyal Fu family was wiped out, and overnight, the huge Fu family was reduced to ashes, and the bloody lesson has not made her remember it for a long time!
Yan Ningyan saw all this from afar, and was a little proud. It seems that the relationship between Yan Jinxi and the national teacher is not very good.
After Yan Jinxi returned to Xilan Garden, the maid Xiaobai quickly saw that something was not quite right with her today, and immediately stepped forward:
"Miss, do you have something bothering you? Xiaobai has already made dinner. β
