Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuan was not surprised by Ji Xun's question at all, she had guessed it when Ji Xun got off the carriage just now.

Of course, this does not mean that there is only one marriageable young master in the Duan family, but that Duan Zhengde is such an upright and upright person. He will do anything that is detrimental to himself and will only arrange it for his son.

"But Duan Jue was chosen?" Shen Yuyu asked.

Duan Jue is the second son of the Duan family, a dashing young man. If he really marries a madman like Princess Dali as his main wife, it will definitely have a great impact on his life.

Among other things, with Dongzhuyan's vicious and violent character, she would definitely not tolerate Duan Jue having other women, so Mr. Duan's life must be in dire straits.

But if Dongfang Yan is changed to be a concubine, and Duan Jue is asked to marry a woman he likes as his wife, at least the impact will not be so great.

Shen Yuyu guessed that Ji Xun must have thought the same way.Ji Xun nodded as expected, with a serious look on his face.

"It is Duan Jue, the second son of Duan."

He didn't know anything about children's love affairs, but he believed that Youyou was so smart that she would be able to come up with a good idea.

Shen Yuyu frowned and thought for a moment, looking at Ji Xun's apricot eyes.

"The plum blossoms in our Prince's Plum Garden are in full bloom. Why don't we invite young ladies from various princes to come to Yewang's Mansion tomorrow morning to appreciate the plum blossoms, and then go to the school grounds to compete in the afternoon?" As he said this, he asked Ji Xun intriguingly. eyebrow.

The second son of Duan looks like Pan An, and Dongfang Yan is a proper Yan Gou. As long as Dongfang Yan finds a way to make Dongfang Yan like the second son of Duan, it is not impossible for her to enter Duan's mansion as a concubine.

After all, she is a 'lunatic', if you give her some medicine to make her even more crazy, she can do anything.

Ji Xun came over understandingly, pinched his wife's pretty face and spoke softly.

"Okay, then it's decided like this, but Yoyo shouldn't work too hard, everything will be left to Madam Liao to prepare."

"The new year is approaching, and my husband is busy with state affairs. He is not at home with you many times. I have asked Shadow to recruit two female secret guards with top kung fu skills so that they can be by your side at your disposal."

"Okay, husband." Shen Yuan nodded, the hidden guards around him were all men, it was indeed a bit inconvenient, it would be much more convenient to bring two female hidden guards by his side, there is no difference between men and women.

The two of them talked and returned to the Night King's Mansion.

At this moment, Dongfang Qi, who left the palace one step back to Yewang Mansion, has already arrived at Xuanchun Pavilion.

Although Xuanchun Pavilion is not very gorgeous, it is clean and elegant.

At this moment, the two wing rooms of Xuanchun Pavilion were already occupied by people. It was the two female secret guards that Shadow brought into the mansion to protect Shen Yuyu closely.

One is named Miaoxiang and the other is Hongyu.

The reason why they are arranged to live here is so that they can protect Princess Ye during the day and protect Dongfang Qi at night, getting the best of both worlds.

"Miss Aqi, you will live here from now on." A nun sent Dongfang Qi into Xuanchun Pavilion and opened the door of the main room. "Tomorrow, the nun in charge of the house will arrange some work for you." .'
"Okay." Dongfang Qi put down her princess figure and responded calmly.

Since she agreed to enter the Yewang Mansion as a maid, she naturally knew that it was impossible to eat and drink here for free.

The gap between the princess and the maid is not so big, and she can also bear it.

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If you don’t experience the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms grow proudly on the branches?
Dongfang Qi comforted herself while walking into the ordinary decorated house.

"Ma'am, where can I get the hot water?" Dongfang Qi glanced at the cold room, feeling unavoidably uncomfortable.

The room was deserted and clear, there was no charcoal fire, and there was no servant to wait on, even the bed was covered with ordinary quilts and bed curtains, gray and dark, Dongfang Qi's heart was still cold at first glance.

But when she thought of the Night King's handsome, almost god-like face, she immediately cheered up again.

This is the Night King's Mansion. His Highness the Night King, whom she is obsessed with, is currently in a courtyard in the mansion. The distance between her and him is so close.

It's a pity that the one being held in his arms at this moment is not him, but Princess Ye, a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside!
Huh, just thinking about it makes me angry! His Royal Highness the Night King is such a handsome man, how can such a country bumpkin deserve to be his princess?
As the Princess Dali, she will one day snatch the Night King, sleep with the Night King in the same bed, and become the most beloved woman of His Highness the Night King!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qi no longer feels how difficult the current situation is, and she is quite happy in her heart.

"There is a kitchen in the backyard, and Miss Aqi can heat hot water by herself." The nanny said, pointing to the east, "That's where the guards in the mansion live. .'

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dongfang Qi looked very polite, she didn't have any airs of a princess, if she hadn't come into the mansion in a hurry and didn't bring any money, she would definitely reward these servants with money.

As long as there is money, it is much easier to win people's hearts.

After grandma left, Dongfang Qi picked up a bucket and was about to go to the guard's residence in the east to get hot water. At this time, she met Miao Xiang and Hongyu coming back carrying a bucket of water.

"You two girls are polite, do you live here too?" Dongfang Qi took the initiative to greet them with a smile, her eyes and expressions as gentle as possible.

He didn't know the identity of Miao Xiang and Hong Yu. Seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and not very old, he thought that they were also servants living in Xuanchun Pavilion.

"Yes." Miaoxiang and Hongyu stood still, speaking very politely.

"What's your name? You're new here too?" Miao Xiang looked at Dongfang Qi with a smile. As a secret guard, she knew who was standing in front of her, so she asked this intentionally to dissuade the other party from her guard.

"En." Dongfang Qi nodded, "My name is Aqi, how about you?"

Miao Xiang and Hong Yu each introduced their identities, and then one of them entered the east wing and the other into the west wing carrying hot water.

Dongfang Qi thought for a while, took off a gold hairpin studded with jewels from her head, held it in her hand, and followed into the west wing.

"Miss Hongyu, can I come in and sit for a while?" Dongfang Qi smiled and opened the door.

"Okay." Hongyu replied, and Dongfang Qi walked into the house, turned back and closed the door.

After sitting down, Dongfang Qi put the expensive gold hairpin on the table and whispered to Hongyu: "Miss Hongyu, you may not know my true identity, but I am actually the fourth princess of Dali Kingdom."

As he spoke, he pushed the nobile hairpin towards Hongyu, and stared at her with a smile on his face.

"I just saw that I have a relationship with you, how about I recognize you as a sister?"

Hongyu glanced at the golden hairpin, was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head.

"Are you really Princess Dali? Then how can I be your sister? I can't help it."

Dongfang Qi picked up the gold hairpin and stuffed it into Hongyu's hands, and said with a light smile, "You are not rude, I also love His Royal Highness Ye Wang so much that I am willing to enter the mansion as a maidservant. My current status is the same as yours as a maidservant. , why can't you be my sister?"

Speaking of loving His Royal Highness the Night King deeply, Hongyu's eyes dimmed.

She likes His Highness the Night King~~Why doesn’t she?
Ever since she met His Royal Highness the Night King for the first time when she was ten years old, her heart no longer belonged to her.

In order to get closer to His Royal Highness, and even closer, she practiced martial arts hard, and now she finally got such an opportunity to serve by His Highness's side.

But the heart of His Royal Highness the Night King belongs to Princess Ye. When she entered the palace for a banquet tonight, she sneaked to the vicinity of Youran Palace and saw from a distance that the man she had loved for many years was so gentle and considerate to another woman. Treasure, no one knows how painful her heart is!
And the princess Dali in front of me is crazy about love, is it worth it or not?
Perhaps out of sympathy, Hongyu nodded and said: "It's not impossible to recognize you as a younger sister, but I can't accept things."

"Okay, Miss Hongyu."

Dongfang Qi took a closer look at Hongyu and saw that she was not just a piece of property that could be bought, so she put the gold hairpin away with a smile.

"I also feel that whether you are a friend or a sister, mutual friendship is not measured by gold, silver and jewelry, but a sincere heart."

Hongyu smiled, acquiescing.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Dongfang Qi left the west wing room wisely, and went to fetch hot water with a bucket.

Early the next morning, Miao Xiang and Hong Yu went to Youran Palace on errands, while Dongfang Qi was still sleeping in bed. When Nanny Liao knocked on the door and woke her up, she had not remembered where she was for a while.

"Who are you? It's so noisy early in the morning." Dongfang Qi rubbed her eyes and opened the door. She saw a majestic old woman, and then quickly looked at the environment inside and outside the house, only to remember that she had entered the room. At night, Wangfu became a maidservant, and hurriedly restrained her arrogant demeanor and lowered her head.

"From today onwards, you will work in the guard's residence on the east side, and the nanny over there will arrange work for you." Nanny Liao ordered Dongfang Qi, who had only recovered from her senses after a long while.

After all, she is a princess from a foreign country, and she cannot be expected to work. Arranging her there is nothing more than to ensure her safety. There is enough power in the guard's residence to ensure that Dongfang Qi will not be assassinated at any time.

Although Dongfang Qi was not happy, she couldn't persuade Nanny Liao to change her job, so she could only suppress her temper and agree for the time being.

At this time, the invitations from the palace had already been sent to the various palaces in the capital. Not long after breakfast, the princes and ladies from the various palaces rode horses and carriages, and came to Yewangfu one after another. .

Among the young men who entered the mansion, there was a young man in Xuanshan who was about 20 years old, which was particularly eye-catching.

His eyebrows are flying into his temples, his eyes are like cold stars, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is tall and handsome, standing out among all the young masters, which is very eye-catching.

He is Duan Jue, the Second Young Master of Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

As soon as Duan Jue appeared, he attracted the gazes of countless young ladies, among which Miss Yang, who was the Minister of Rites, had particularly resentful eyes.

Miss Yang is tall and tall, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, like a lady of every family.

When Duan Jue didn't look at her, her eyes fell on Duan Jue, as if she had a thousand words to say.

But when Duan Jue's eyes fell on her, she ducked away quietly, pursed her lips and remained silent.

After Duan Jue glanced at Ms. Yang, she walked towards her and seemed to have something to say to her, but Ms. Yang pretended not to notice, and hurriedly left with all the ladies.
