At about noon on the fifth day of the first lunar month, a black four-bridle carriage came from the ancient stone bridge and galloped towards Jingning Street.

When the carriage was about to arrive at the Luowang Mansion, Di Jinxuan, who had been waiting near the Luowang Mansion for a long time, pointed to the carriage not far away, and said to Ji Qingge beside him:

"Aifei, do you see? Wan Ning's sister's father, Yun Qian, the master of the Ministry of Rites, was in the carriage in front.

If he asks about the secret room in the valley of the West Mountain, you will say......"

Ji Qingge nodded knowingly, and said sincerely: "Husband, rest assured, the concubine will definitely answer all Uncle Yun's questions truthfully." ”

The Jing'an Yun clan is a famous gate lord clan in the Xiyue Dynasty, and is famous for its brave and good generals.

Not to mention the distance, just because the emperor named Yun Kang as the prince with a different surname, and rewarded him with such a large luxury mansion on Jingning Street, you can see the extraordinaryness of the Yun family.

The sound of "squeak, squeak" stopped abruptly when the carriage drove to the gate of Luowang's Mansion.

The guards standing at the gate of King Luo's Mansion on duty saw the carriage of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, so they stood respectfully on both sides and saluted the middle-aged man who got off the carriage:

"The little one asks Lord Yun for peace, Lord Yun is auspicious."

Yun Qian, who was dressed in court clothes, raised his right hand calmly, bowed his head slightly, and said, "No courtesy." With that, he brushed the hem of his robe and walked into the palace of King Luo.

A moment later, Di Jinxuan took Ji Qingge and Di Jinxi to Luowang's Mansion and visited Yun Qian.

Ji Qingge only stayed in the hall for a moment, and was invited into the private room near the warm pavilion of King Luo's mansion by Mrs. Yun, who was dressed in a crimson robe.

After coming to the rosewood tea table in the private room and sitting down, Ji Qingge raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Yun, who was sitting opposite her, with elegant manners and refined charm.

After the maidservant carried the tray, respectfully served tea, and brought pastries. Madame Yun let out a faint smile and asked the left and right people to leave.

It was only after the maidservants closed the wooden door of the private room that they looked at Ji Qingge with complicated eyes. Said:

"When Princess Xiao and His Royal Highness King Xiao got married last year, the old man happened to follow his relatives in the clan and went to Xiliang. However, after returning, the old body often listened to the little girl Wanning and mentioned that Princess Xiao treated people well.

also said that Princess Xiao had superb medical skills and cured the queen's stubborn illness.

Now that I see it, Princess Xiao is really beautiful and vulgar, and she is a good match for His Royal Highness King Xiao. ”

Ji Qingge hooked his lips in embarrassment, and the word "Xie" was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say it anyway.

Mrs. Yun's words just now sounded like she was praising her, but after analyzing it quietly, she found that it was not. A trace of doubt flashed through Ji Qingge's clear eyes, and he asked:

"Shu Qingge is stupid, he can't understand what Mrs. Yun means too much, and ask Mrs. Yun to make it clear."

"No, no!"

Mrs. Yun shook her head slightly, and after saying two "no" words in succession, she said, "Princess Xiao is talented, how can she be stupid?" On the contrary, my family is graceful, but it is far less pleasing than Princess Xiao. ”

After Ji Qingge listened to it, he was inevitably embarrassed.

It means that since she came to Luowang's Mansion and met Mrs. Yun for the first time, she was not treated by Mrs. Yun like this. It turned out that it was Mrs. Yun who regarded her as the rival of the county lord of Xiyao.

But who is a parent who does not protect his own sons and daughters?

Mrs. Yun's hard work, Ji Qingge could see it, but she didn't resent the other party. Fortunately, Mrs. Yun was only insinuating, and after saying a few unfair words, she fell silent.

It wasn't until there was a knock outside the door of the private room that Mrs. Yun smiled apologetically. He stood up and opened the door, and said to the maidservant who stood at the door:

"Is it the lord who wants to see the county lord? Or do the guests want to see her? ”

"It was the master who asked the slave maid to come to meet the lady, saying that there were some things that had to be explained to the county lord in person." The maidservant glanced at Mrs. Yun timidly and replied cautiously.

"Stand down, the old body knows."

Madame Yun sighed softly and closed the door of the private room. She looked at Ji Qingge with reproachful eyes and said:

"Princess Xiao, the old daughter Wanning was recently injured and poisoned. She is still lying on the sickbed at the moment, facing the old body, doesn't Princess Xiao plan to give the old body a reasonable explanation? ”

"Mrs. Yun, Sister Wanning was poisoned and injured because she blocked the flying knife for me......"

In the face of reality, Ji Qingge didn't want to avoid it at all. The gratitude and apologies for Yun Wanning in his heart came with Mrs. Yun.

After Mrs. Yun heard this, the corners of her lips outlined a helpless arc. said: "Princess Xiao, the old body and my master were all summoned into the palace by the saint today.

Guess what? ”

"This ...... Shu Qingge was stupid and couldn't guess. ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Ji Qingge's eyes, and he said truthfully.

I don't know if the emperor wants to add an official to Yun Qian, or something else.

"The emperor summoned the master, and Concubine Pang made an appointment with the old man alone, and they only mentioned one thing: among the many ladies of the imperial city, the daughter of the old man, the lord of Xiyao, is the most beautiful and vulgar.

is the best choice to be the concubine of King Yan. ”

Ji Qingge was stunned for a long time, Cherry opened her mouth, and said, "How can a woman as outstanding as Sister Wanning be a side concubine for His Royal Highness King Yan?" ”

What's more, in the palace of His Royal Highness King Yan, a main concubine and a side concubine have recently passed away.

There is also a concubine of the Yan family who enjoys the special favor of His Royal Highness King Yan.

Wan Ning's sister, such a noble county lord, how could she marry into the Chengxiang Palace when she knew that His Royal Highness King Yan had a heart?

Could it be that the emperor wanted King Yan to marry the daughter of the powerful ministers as a side concubine, so as to block the mouths of those old ministers, so that they would not continue to oppose the emperor's appointment of His Royal Highness King Yan as the crown prince?

Lady Yun let out a cold snort in her nose, and her words revealed a strong sense of irony. said: "Think about our Jing'an Yun clan, no matter what, they are still people with heads and faces.

Concubine Pang Niangniang let the old body be graceful and go to be a side concubine.

Is this humiliating the old body's Wanning, or is it despising our Jing'an Yun clan? ”

With that, Mrs. Yun knocked over the teacup on the desk to the ground.

"Bang!"

The delicate porcelain cup fell to the ground and was thrown to pieces.

"Knock, knock."

After two knocks on the door, a gentle female voice came from the door of the private room:

"Madam, Princess Xiao. The lord asked the slave and maid to come and welcome you into the hall to discuss the matter. ”

Madame Yun got up and opened the door of the private room, and said to the maidservants waiting at the door, "It's good to clean up." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

All the maidservants responded in unison, and soon went into the private room to get busy.

Ji Qingge and Mrs. Yun came to the luxurious hall of King Luo's Mansion.

I saw Yun Wanning wearing a crimson robe, and walked into the hall with the support of her nurse. Although her complexion is a little rudder than yesterday, she is also sickly and weak, and she is no longer as beautiful and lovely as she used to be.

"Sister Wanning."

"Sister Wanning."

When Di Jinxuan and Di Jinxi saw Yun Wanning, they took the initiative to greet them.

This is also a rare time since Ji Qingge and Di Jinxuan met, and it is rare to see him take the initiative to greet other women besides her.

Yun Wanning was under the gaze of everyone, smiling lightly. Elegantly bowed to Di Jinxuan and the others, and greeted him.
