Jiang Mingzhu held it in his heart, but he also knew that what the other party said was right, if he insisted on leaving, his reputation would be over, since this was the case...... Turning his head and glancing at Yang Zilu, then let's consume it together.

Ning Ruyan wanted to know what was going on on Jiang Yan's side, but there was no progress on the Dali Temple's side, so she had no choice but to go to Yanyu Pavilion to find Youli, but the door of Yanyu Pavilion was closed, and no one came out no matter how she knocked on the door.

In the end, she had to go to the eldest princess's mansion, however, she was told that the eldest princess was not in the mansion, but went to Wanheyuan with her concubine.

Ning Ruyan rushed directly to Wanheyuan.

The porter led her to the antechamber, and went in to report it, but it was two hours to wait, and the sun was in the west, but no one came out to tell her whether she saw it or not.

"Miss?" She was followed by Honeysuckle, "Do you have to wait?" ”

"It's already this time, so naturally we have to wait." Ning Ruyan nodded, then sat upright, lowered her eyes and began to recite the Diamond Sutra silently, in the ten years of her previous life, she spent a lot of time alone, and when she couldn't sleep at night, she would get up to meditate and chant the scriptures, so, let alone two hours, even if it was a day, it didn't matter.

Honeysuckle stopped talking.

Finally, when Ning Ruyan finished silently reciting the Diamond Sutra scriptures, someone finally came over: "Miss Ning, the eldest princess invites you over." ”

"Thank you." Ning Ruyan got up and bowed, and then followed the other party out of the front hall.

Honeysuckle couldn't help but move her legs, she couldn't even sit, her legs were stiff after standing for so long.

The eldest princess was met by Ning Ruyan in the octagonal pavilion in the lotus pond in the back garden.

"I've seen the eldest princess." Ning Ruyan kowtowed under the steps of the gazebo and said goodbye.

"Get up." The eldest princess sighed slightly.

Ning Ruyan got up after thanking her, but she didn't dare to go inside.

"Come in." The eldest princess gestured.

Ning Ruyan entered the pavilion at this time, and then stood respectfully under the eldest princess.

"Didn't bring any wine?"

"It's still being made, and it's going to take about two days."

"Then why don't you come back in two days?"

"Eldest princess, the courtiers want to know about Lord Jiang's situation, so ......"

"That's not what you should ask." The eldest princess put down the teacup in her hand, and the porcelain cup collided with the stone table with a crisp sound.

"The courtiers knew that they had transgressed, but ...... Lord Jiang has helped the courtiers, so ...... The courtiers felt that something should be done. ”

The eldest princess got up and walked to Ning Ruyan: "Do you like him?" ”

"Courtiers ......" Ning Ruyan was suddenly a little flustered, "Courtiers don't dare." ”

"Huh." The eldest princess smiled, "You don't dare to say it." Then he turned and looked outside, "Do you know who he is?" ”

"The eldest son of the Protector's Mansion, the commander of Yulinwei, and the emperor's close minister......"

"Surface." The eldest princess turned to look at Ning Ruyan and interrupted her as well, "Are you sure?" Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you'll die. ”

Ning Ruyan swallowed his saliva.

"Let's go back." The eldest princess reached out and touched Ning Ruyan's face, "There are some things that you can't touch." ”

Ning Ruyan shrank a little, but she couldn't help but not retreat: "But, I really ...... Can't do anything? ”

"Just take care of yourself." The eldest princess withdrew her hand, "If Gardenia is alive, she will be as old as you." As he spoke, his eyes darkened.

Ning Ruyan didn't dare to say anything, so she could only salute again, and at this moment, a koi fish in the lotus pond suddenly jumped up and landed right at Honeysuckle's feet.

Honeysuckle was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, and then fell to the ground all of a sudden.

And the koi actually jumped up again and fell back into the water.

"Honeysuckle, are you alright?" Ning Ruyan hurriedly went over and helped the person up.

"It's fine." Honeysuckle shook his head.

"It's okay somewhere, my hands are broken." Ning Ruyan grabbed Honeysuckle's hand, "It's all bleeding." ”

The eldest princess also followed: "There is a doctor here, let's go after treating the wound." ”

"Thank you, eldest princess." Honeysuckle hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

The eldest princess was about to turn around but suddenly paused, and pressed Honeysuckle's head with a hand, so that a thumb-sized red maple leaf-shaped birthmark on the back of her neck was exposed.

"Eldest princess, the little girl is not sensible, do you ......" Ning Ruyan also saw the birthmark, and suddenly an idea came out of her mind, "Could it be ......?"

"I also have a red birthmark on the back of my gardenia's neck, exactly the same birthmark."

"This ......" Ning Ruyan felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

"You look up." The eldest princess let go of her hand.

Honeysuckle raised her head, and after glancing at the eldest princess, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

"How old are you?"

"Ten...... Fifteen. ”

"Where are you from? What does your mom and dad do? ”

"The slave's father disliked my mother and gave birth to me as a money-loser, and drove my mother out, but fortunately the eldest lady took her ......"

"Arrange for them to stay, serve them well, and send someone to call the Xiang clan." The eldest princess frowned, although the birthmark was the same, but the appearance of this girl was a little different from herself.

Xiang came quickly, he should have been brought over by someone on horseback, and after seeing the eldest princess, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to say hello.

"Xiang, is Honeysuckle your daughter?"

Xiang couldn't help but look at Ning Ruyan.

"Aunt Xiang, honeysuckle's birthmark and ...... The eldest princess's lost daughter is exactly the same, but the appearance of honeysuckle ......," Ning Ruyan explained, "If there is anything hidden, you can tell the truth." ”

Xiang glanced at the eldest princess, and then at honeysuckle: "Please ask the eldest princess to bring a basin of warm water." ”

Warm water was quickly served.

Xiang sighed, raised his hand to take off the silver hairpin on his head, unscrewed one end, poured out a little powder in the water, and then motioned to Honeysuckle: "Wash your face." ”

"Mother?"

"Let's wash." Xiang Shi smiled.

Honeysuckle went over and washed his face with water, but when he looked up again, Ning Ruyan couldn't help but gasp, the person was still the same person, but the face had changed to a different face, and this face was eight points similar to the eldest princess.

"Gardenia, my Gardenia......" The eldest princess couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and hugged the person as soon as she could.

Honeysuckle was still very confused, and he didn't know how to react with his hands pricked, so he could only look at Ning Ruyan like a help.

Ning Ruyan couldn't help.

Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't cry for long, and soon stopped: "Xiang, tell me what's going on." (End of chapter)
