Princess of the auxiliary country

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and the carriages headed out one by one.

Those servants were not qualified to ride in the carriage and could only follow on both sides of the convoy on foot.

The sudden appearance of such a mighty team from Duke Ji's mansion immediately attracted the attention of surrounding mansions.

Some familiar servants from the mansion came forward to inquire, but these servants in Duke Ji's mansion had already been scolded by Princess Ningyang last night.

Let them follow Huo Junyao, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future, especially those things that have been reported in the capital recently, and they are not allowed to mention a word. Anyone who talks nonsense will be responsible for the consequences.

Therefore, no matter how the concierges and servants of the surrounding mansions inquired, these servants of Duke Ji's mansion would not look sideways and would not give any reaction.

The end is cold and tight.

In Duke Cao's Mansion, a concierge quickly walked towards the inner house. When he reached the door, he reported what he saw outside.

The gatekeeper hurriedly went to report to her young lady.

Zhao Yan'er had just had breakfast and was sitting leisurely in the room drinking tea.

"Miss, Mrs. Zhou, the gatekeeper, came to report that a large group of people just came out of Duke Ji's Mansion and headed out of the city."

"They are all maids. She is probably the third lady next door."

Hearing this, Zhao Yaner raised her eyebrows and asked about the situation in detail.

"Going out that way early in the morning? Most likely leaving the capital."

"Now that there are rumors like this outside, I guess I should go outside to avoid the limelight."

"However, after all, he has been raised outside for more than ten years and has little relationship with the people in the mansion. Why is he being driven out of the city if nothing happens?"

Last night, news came from the East Palace that their plan was very successful, and the empress had given up the plan of granting a marriage.

Her goal had been achieved, and she no longer cared about Huo Junyao, who came from the countryside.

His reputation has been ruined like this, what future prospects can he have?
There are only two possibilities, either to live in a village outside the city for the rest of his life, or to find some small family far away from the capital and marry him.

From today on, her and Huo Junyao's identities will be completely different.

She was high in the clouds, while Huo Junyao could only struggle to survive in the mud.

"Go and prepare some supplements. I have to go next door."

Hearing this, the maid was slightly startled, aren't everyone gone?What else are you doing to prepare supplements?
"Everyone is already in the mud, so I might as well step on them again, just in time to establish a good reputation for this young lady."

I believe many people can guess that in the majestic motorcade of Duke Ji's Mansion, the person sitting in the carriage is the third young lady who has just been found by Duke Ji's Mansion.

The rescued person did not come to visit, but she, the rescuer, came to visit. If word spread, it would also add some good reputation to her.

Who would object to a daughter’s reputation being too good?
The Palace of the Palace.

The morning court had dispersed, Duke Ji Guo Jingzhi and his eldest son Huo Jinyan walked out with ugly expressions.

Just now in the court, a censor actually stood up to impeach him, Duke Ji Guo. The goddaughter had wrongly offended the prince and asked the emperor to punish their family.

Isn't this bullying?

Then someone came out and praised Zhao Yaner fiercely, not forgetting to step on Huo Junyao.

He could hold it and stomp it, that is, at a court meeting in the Yizheng Hall, if it were placed outside, Huo Jinyan would be able to take advantage of it and serve him with a punch.

"Lao Huo, Lao Huo"

Just as the father and son left the Council Hall with gloomy faces and walked towards the outside of the palace, a voice greeted them from behind.

Stopping and turning around, Huo Jingzhi saw the person greeting him. A look of complexity flashed across Huo Jingzhi's face, and he quickly became cold.I saw Cao Guogong Zhao Hong walking quickly towards the father and son.

"Lao Huo, is Yaoyao's injury better? I've been a little busy these two days and haven't been able to visit her."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi said calmly, "My little girl is recovering very well, and I don't dare to bother Duke Cao with my thoughts."

His tone was cold and combed, completely lacking the warmth and casualness of an old brother or neighbor who had been there for many years.

When Cao Guogong heard his tone, he was a little surprised.

What he said just now is quite right. The northern border of the Yu Dynasty has not been very peaceful recently, and the Huns have frequently blocked the border and harassed them.

As the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he has been very busy recently. He rarely even goes back to his mansion, so naturally he has no intention to pay attention to the rumors outside.

However, I also heard that at the palace banquet, my brother's daughter Huo Junyao was injured and almost drowned.

I just have a little free time today, thinking that since I am an old neighbor and an old brother, I should go over to visit and care.

But he didn't expect that today's Duke Ji was so cold and groomed him like this. He was a little confused for a moment.

"Dad, let's go quickly. We have to go back to see my little sister off."

Huo Jinyan, who has always been polite, actually didn't greet Cao Guogong when he saw him today, and he didn't even give him a decent look.

At this time, he was urging his father extremely impatiently.

This time, he had finally figured out what happened to Duke Cao.

Especially now that things are spreading so fiercely outside, Lord Cao Guogong actually comes over to say these words as if he doesn't know anything.

In his opinion, this is hypocrisy, and naturally he doesn't even bother to do anything to save face.

"Mr. Cao Guo, I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

After saying that, Duke Ji turned around and left quickly with his son.

The remaining Duke Cao Guogong looked at the backs of the father and son, becoming more and more confused. What on earth is going on?
It was obvious that he felt alienated from him by the father and son, and even felt a little disgusted.

It seems like you haven’t offended them, right?

With doubts, he also decided to go home to see his daughter. He heard that something almost happened at the palace banquet, so he would casually visit Duke Ji Guo's house later.

"Hmph, I used to think that Mr. Cao Guogong was a nice person. I never thought that he was just a nice person on the surface, but he was also a sinister person secretly."

Huo Jinyan now has a bad feeling for Cao Guogong's mansion and the East Palace.

Huo Jingzhi on the side didn't answer, and he couldn't forgive him for stabbing him in the back at his old brother's house for many years.

Regardless of whether Cao Guogong knew it or not, after this incident, it would be difficult for his family to maintain the previous relationship.

"What did you say!"

At the gate of Duke Ji's mansion, Zhao Yan'er excitedly brought the selected supplements to the gate of Duke Ji's mansion with great fanfare.

I was about to go in like usual, but I was stopped by the concierge.

In the past, when she came to Duke Ji's Mansion, it was like her own home. No one dared to stop her. Even the servants of Duke Ji's Mansion treated her with respect.

He was actually stopped today and didn't say anything. From what the concierge said, it was an order personally issued by Princess Ningyang. From today on, no one in Cao Guogong's mansion is allowed to step into Ji Guogong's mansion.

It was everyone, and Zhao Yaner's name was emphatically mentioned. Anyone who dared to let her in would be killed with a stick.

Zhao Yaner couldn't believe it. She wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. How could Princess Ningyang give such an order?
