Four days later, King Ning, the third prince Hua Nuoyu, suddenly visited the Xia Mansion and left after an hour of secret conversation with the head of the Xia family.

"Later, Steward Qin will take you to the courtyard where you live, and tell him if you need anything. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to teach you in your courtyard. Hua Nuoyu glanced at Steward Qin who was standing aside, and then looked at Wu Ya who was wearing the small servant clothes of King Ning's Mansion, "I still have something to do, and I will come to you later." ”

"Hmm." Wu Ya was expressionless and responded casually, Hua Nuoyu didn't say anything, and walked directly towards his courtyard.

"Miss, please follow me." Steward Qin was a man who looked to be no more than in his early thirties, exuding a rigorous aura all over his body, and he was disrespectful and humble to Wu Ya.

Wu Ya nodded and followed him.

Three days later.

"No, I played it wrong, do it again." A woman in her thirties with delicate makeup was holding a small folding fan in her hand, and her face was already a little impatient.

And Wu Ya, who was even more impatient on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, "I don't practice anymore." ”

"This is the task assigned by King Ning." The woman stood beside Wu Ya, raised her chin slightly, and squinted at her.

"Then you go and invite him over, I have something to talk to him about." Wu Ya looked up at the woman.

"He's King Ning, not someone who can be on call." The woman's eyes were cold, with undisguised disdain.

"Okay, I'll come when he wants to come, you can go and rest today." Wu Ya smiled, staring at the woman with no warmth.

The woman avoided her gaze unnaturally, paused for a few seconds, and then turned to leave the room. After a while, the door of the house was opened again, and a dark white boot stepped into the room first.

Wu Ya looked up and saw the person coming, her brows furrowed slightly, "Why are you here?" ”

Yin Jue slowly walked to the carved hollow stool opposite Wu Ya with a smile and sat down, "Because you're here." ”

Wu Ya's brows tightened a little, her eyes looked at Yin Jue suspiciously, Yin Jue didn't speak, smiled and let her see, about half a minute later, Wu Ya suddenly remembered what Dong Ye had told her before, and nodded her head with a sudden realization, "King Ning asked you to come?" ”

"No, I'm here myself."

"Oh? So what's the matter with you? Wu Ya looked at him expressionlessly.

"I heard you're not happy with the arrangement?" Yin Jue lowered his head and reached out to pluck the strings of the guqin in front of Wu Ya.

"I don't think it's reasonable."

"Huh?" Yin Jue raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Ya.

That's a really ...... angle Wu Ya settled down and said, "The girl was sold into the Xia Mansion as a slave at the age of six, and she did some rough work and miscellaneous work, how could she learn all the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

"I started learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before the age of six, which is not unusual in a powerful family."

"But from the information that King Ning gave me, I don't think that the girl's parents will start asking her to learn these things before she is six years old." Wu Ya said as she took the teapot on the low table next to her and poured a cup of tea.

As soon as the tea was poured, Yin Jue reached out and took the cup of tea from the tea tray, ignored Wu Ya's eyes, and took a sip, "Maybe she volunteered?" ”

"Have you ever seen a girl play the piano, play chess, practice calligraphy and painting before?" Wu Ya saw that he gave up after taking a sip, and poured another glass.

Yin Jue thought for a while, "I haven't seen it, but it doesn't mean that she won't, after all, her parents are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

"But I'm sure she doesn't know how to play the instrument, no, to be exact, she doesn't know how to play the instrument." Wu Ya took a sip of tea and continued, "Everyone knows that you like music, and you used to meet friends with music, the girl likes you so much, if she knows some musical instruments, she will definitely show it in front of you." ”

"How do you know I used to have fun with friends?" Yin Jue looked at her with a little suspicion.

"You are one of the objects of affection of young men and girls in the capital, and you can ask anyone about this kind of thing."

"In that case, what do you mean?"

"Don't assign me to study these anymore, but add more etiquette lessons and poetry books to me."

"These were already in the arrangement."

"Let's get straight to that."

Three months later.

In King Ning's courtyard, three men sat in a richly decorated hall.

"My father's reaction is very strange, it has been eight days, and there is no plan to announce the summons." Hua Nuoyu's eyebrows were a little anxious.

"He's just more cautious. During this time, they have secretly sent people to investigate the girl's affairs, but maybe there will be news soon. "Compared to the other two, the person who spoke looked much more ordinary, and his face was very calm.

"I think the same thing as Xi. All we have to do is get ready. Yin Jue didn't have much expression on his face, but there was a little gloom in his eyes.

"How's that girl preparing?" Hua Nuoyu looked at Yin Jue, he and Yin Jue have been friends since childhood, and they have always trusted him, but, on the issue of this woman, he became more and more worried about Yin Jue, in order to give this woman some more stimulation, so he arranged a kidnapping, the original plan was to let Yin Jue rescue her, tell her some "facts", and then persuade her to join them, but Yin Jue rescued her, until she recovered from her injuries, he did not act, and later even came up with some seemingly reasonable reasons to try to persuade him to change his plan, In the end, he had to go out in person, although he came to him afterwards because of this incident, but fortunately he didn't say anything out of the ordinary, just asked about the situation, and in the past three months, he has behaved normally about the woman's affairs, but he just feels a sense of unease.

"Everything is in order." Yin Jue's tone was very flat.

"That's fine, pity, what about you?" Hua Nuoyu looked at Xi.

"Everything is going according to plan, and the people sent by the emperor have found Granny Chen yesterday."

"It seems that the father is indeed cautious." The anxiety between Hua Nuoyu's eyebrows was gone, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You arrange the things at hand, and then I will let you 'protect' that girl." ”

He sneered and replied, "Yes." ”

"Can't you change someone?" Yin Jue said unexpectedly.

Hua Nuoyu looked at Yin Jue with some dissatisfaction, "Xi is the best candidate, do you have any opinion on Xi?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just worried that he has too many things on hand, and even if he arranges it, some things can only be done by himself, and in this case, he may miss a lot of important information."

"You don't need to worry about this, I won't be able to do this kind of thing because of a few more things." Xi was still expressionless, and his tone was mixed with some disdain.

"If you say so, I hope so." Yin Jue looked at Xi with a smile on his face.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

"What?"

"Back to the prince, someone has come to the palace, it seems that the emperor wants to announce your entry into the palace."
