The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 223 Beauty Tears, Motivating the Heart

When Gu Jinnian heard her mention Ji Shiliu, his expression suddenly sank.

"Chang Yi, I think you have a lot of misunderstandings about Mr. Ji. He helps me wholeheartedly, so I can't doubt him."

Yun Changyi's eyes turned slightly, and he continued, "Third Highness, you must be careful in everything. Ji Shiliu and Feng Xihe know each other. I don't think Feng Xihe will help you..."

"Enough!" Gu Jinnian stopped him abruptly, and he said calmly, "Chang Yi, I know that you have a lot of trouble with Feng Xihe, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Ji. I don't want you to Even to misunderstand Mr. Ji."

A look of resentment suddenly appeared in Yun Changyi's eyes, she thought to herself, she never expected that Gu Jinnian would rely on Ji Shiliu so much.

It seems that she can't touch Ji Shiliu for the time being.

However, Ji Shiliu gave her a strange feeling. She always felt that he was not just an ordinary painter.

While she was thinking, Gu Jinnian realized that her tone was not very good, so she slowed down and said, "I'm sorry, Chang Yi, I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone."

"It's just that, tomorrow, the Chinese delegation will arrive at Jinling City, and the emperor ordered me to lead a hundred officials to meet him at the gate of the city. It is troublesome to prepare for these things."

Chinese missions come to Jinling?Yun Changyi's eyes suddenly lit up, she remembered that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Hua Kingdom, would come in person this time.

It would be really great if we could get in touch with His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

Yun Changyi smiled immediately, and said slowly: "Third Highness, I have an unfeeling request. I have never been to places other than Jinling and Gusu in my life, and I don't know what Huaguo looks like. So , On the day when the Hua Guo Mission comes, can His Highness agree to take me there to see their demeanor?"

Gu Jinnian thought for a while, then nodded. He asked Yun Changyi to sit in a carriage and watch from behind, so no one would see him.

There was a mysterious light in Yun Changyi's eyes, "Your Majesty must trust you very much in entrusting this matter to the Third Highness. If the Third Highness trusts me, he can tell where the Hua Guo Mission will stay and the saddles they use. , and the preferences of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of Emperor Hua, tell me, and I will definitely make arrangements for His Royal Highness."

After hearing this, Gu Jinnian felt a little hesitant. After all, Yun Changyi's heart used to be towards Gu Jincheng. Now, although he is constantly erasing that memory, he can no longer trust Yun Changyi wholeheartedly like in the past.

"I just want to share the worries and labors of the Third Highness. If the Third Highness finds it difficult, or if there is a better candidate, I will listen to the Third Highness." Yun Changyi seemed to have tears in his eyes, but he was biting Lips, keep the tears from flowing.

But maybe she really couldn't bear this kind of grievance, and the crystal tears still slid down her cheeks.

What Gu Jinnian hates the most is Yun Changyi.

"Okay, Chang Yi, how could I not believe you." Gu Jinnian frowned, and his heart softened all of a sudden.

Only then did Yun Changyi wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and gently snuggled into Gu Jinnian's arms.

Under the sky, misty rain entwined.

The Chinese mission is coming to Jinling City, and the time for the spring test is approaching.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, on the other side of the Land of Smoky Willows, is the famous Jiangnan Gongyuan, where the annual spring test is held.

As early as a month ago, the inn next to the Gongyuan was already overcrowded. Every day, the scholars who came to Beijing for the exam busily shuttled on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Feng Xihe was sitting in a restaurant by the river, looking up at the scholars in green shirts.

When a young scholar led by E Guanbo appeared at the door of the restaurant with a happy face, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Not long after, the scholar had followed Yuanying upstairs.

"Princess Wangfei, people are coming." Yuanying picked up the bamboo curtain, lowered his eyes, and clenched his fists as if restraining something.

Feng Xihe looked away from the window and opened the booklet in his hand. This is the list of candidates who participated in the spring examination this year.

"Chen Fuli?" Her gaze rested on one of the names, and she asked lightly.

"It's right here." The scholar named Chen Fuli had a smile on his lips, and he seemed to glance at Feng Xihe inadvertently.

When Yuanying passed by and claimed that the current Princess Yu invited him to the restaurant to discuss something, he was simply flattered.

Feng Xihe turned his eyes and glanced at his expression. Under the seemingly calm eyes, there were already turbulent waves rolling.

In the previous life, in this year, Chen Fuli, who was in front of him, would be crowned the champion of the new discipline.

This person only loves the young Tongnan, that is, after he was named on the gold list, Yun Changyi sent Feng Junyi into his tent in order to win him over.

After that, he even helped Gu Jincheng do a lot of outrageous things.

Seeing that Feng Xihe had been silent, Chen Fuli couldn't help being puzzled, so he took the initiative to ask, "I don't know if Princess Yu is here, what's the matter?"

Feng Xihe smiled and asked, "Are you Grand Master Ning's favorite student?"

Chen Fuli's eyes froze, and he replied: "That's true."

"That's right. My concubine has long admired Grand Master Ning's name. Before you came to catch up with the exam, he once visited Prince Yu specially, saying that he wanted to take good care of you." Feng Xihe warmly invited Chen Fuli to sit down, and Ask someone to serve tea, "No, did the lord ask my concubine to take care of you here?"

When Chen Fuli heard this, he was relieved. He was surprised that he had nothing to do with Feng Xi and Ba Ganzi, but why Feng Xihe called him here and was so polite.

It turned out that Grand Master Ning had greeted him in advance.

"Concubine Yu praises that Grand Master Ning is getting old and spends most of his time resting in the mansion, and has seldom interacted with the outside world. I just want to be a little more competitive than other disciples in Grand Master Ning's mansion, so as to win his old man's favor. "Chen Fuli is not humble at all.

Then, he carefully looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know how Prince Yu and Princess Yu want to take care of you, could it be..."

Could it be that they have already obtained the Chunwei test questions?

Feng Xihe smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, the title on the gold list is at most a starting point for you. In the future, if you want to make a career in the court, relying on this alone is naturally not enough."

"You can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. Although you are Taishi Ning's favorite student, he is no longer an official in the court. It is the utmost benevolence to mention you to Prince Yu. No matter how bad it is, you can pave the way for the court. The road depends on you."

"If you can find a big tree worth leaning on in advance, and then display your talents, you will have a bright future in the future."

Chen Fuli was puzzled and said: "Since Grand Master Ning mentioned it to Lord Yu, how about asking Lord Yu to make this big tree?"

Feng Xihe frowned, and lowered his voice a little more, "Although Lord Yu promised him to take care of you, but his temperament is uncertain. When he is in a bad mood another day, he will directly take your knife, even my concubine Around him, everyone is trembling."

"This concubine just doesn't want you to be implicated in the future, so I remind you today."

Chen Fuli's heart trembled, as if that was the case.

"Then according to Princess Yu's opinion, who should I turn to next?"

"My concubine is a girl, so I don't know anything about the court affairs." Feng Xihe whispered: "However, tomorrow, when the Chinese delegation comes to Jinling, all the princes and civil and military officials will meet at the gate of the city."

"That is your great opportunity. Not only can you find a big tree that suits you. Be smart, maybe you can take this opportunity to let everyone remember you."

Chen Fuli's eyeballs were rolling, thinking in his heart, he felt that what she said was correct.

He can't enter the palace now, and one day, all the princes and civil and military officials have gathered at the gate of the city, so he has to seize the opportunity quickly.

"I have thanked Princess Yu, and in the future, I will be on the rise, and I will definitely..."

Feng Xihe waved his hands hurriedly, "I told you the following words secretly, and you don't need to thank my concubine in the future, lest Prince Yu know and blame this concubine."

"Yes, yes, I was negligent." After Chen Fuli said goodbye, he ran away cheerfully, as if he had found a broad road.

After he left, Feng Xihe's eyes instantly became extremely cold.

However, she noticed that Yuanying's expression was very strange, so she asked with concern: "Yuanying, did you know Chen Fuli before?"

"I don't know." Yuanying shook his head, but said with a trembling voice: "But, I know Grand Master Ning, and I will never forget it until I die!"

Feng Xi and Dunjue were surprised that Taishi Ning stopped paying attention to government affairs a few years ago because of his age.What kind of grievances will an octogenarian have with a teenage girl?

Later, she thought that Yuanying was sent to her by Gu Shiyin, and she had never asked about Yuanying's background.

Could it be that Yuanying came to Gu Shiyin's side, but it was actually related to Grand Master Ning?
"Yuanying, who are you, or who are your deceased family members?" Feng Xihe asked Yuanying about his past for the first time.

"Princess Wangfei..." Yuanying raised her head slowly, with tears in her eyes, she choked up and said, "I am Situ Zhang's daughter."

"Your father is Situzhang, the crown prince?" Feng Xihe gasped.

She didn't witness it with her own eyes, and she only heard about it.

It is said that after the disaster of witchcraft, the first queen hanged herself, the first prince was executed, and Situ Zhang tried his best to defend the first queen and the first prince, and Situ's family was also implicated, so that the whole family was punished.

Yuanying's eyes were full of resentment, she nodded vigorously, "Back then, Grand Master Ning, Empress Xi, and other courtiers falsely accused the Crown Prince and Empress of using witchcraft when His Majesty was driving to Riyue Mountain. technique."

"After the Situ family fell into trouble with the former prince, the entire family, 180 people and seven people were all killed. The three of us, the three sisters, survived because of the desperate protection of our parents and the guards at home."

"Later, Prince Yu took us in and changed our names to Gufan, Yuanying, and Bikong. In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, we stayed in Prince Yu's mansion like maids on the surface, and occasionally went in and out of the battlefield with the prince. .”

"However, until now, the bloody scene of that year is still clearly in our minds. We have always wanted to find an opportunity to vindicate the Situ family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
