The grandfather and grandson were worried about the prince's situation, but Yan Li was like an outsider who had nothing to do with him, shopping with Ling Ning.

The daughter-in-law of the Ling family didn't like rouge and gouache, and was not very interested in jewelry and clothes, but she thought Yan Li liked it, so the two of them walked from the silk and satin shop to the jewelry pavilion, and from the jewelry pavilion to the gouache shop. They went in with nothing. Two 꿛 are empty.

Standing outside the powder shop, Yan Li and Ling Ning looked at each other. Yan Li smiled and said, "Let's sit down in a teahouse and rest for a while?"

Ling Ning readily agreed.

So the two of them chose a teahouse called "Zhuxi" on the street. The teahouse here has a quiet environment, and the interior layout has an indescribable bookish aroma of tea, which makes people feel peaceful.

The two people walked to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter. At this time, there were more people drinking tea on the second floor. The environment was quiet and quiet, suitable for drinking tea and chatting.

Yan Li ordered a pot of the best tea, and the waiter responded respectfully: "Please wait a moment, distinguished guest." Then he left.

"I've been holding a question in my mind these days." Ling Ning sat down at the tea table and raised her eyes to look at Yan Li opposite, "How did you escape from Mu Wenxuan's clutches in Prince Yu's Mansion? "

Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems you have guessed it all."

"Princess 귷 and Mu Ya obviously have evil intentions in their response, which is hard to guess." Ling Ning frowned, "As a woman who has not left the court, their vicious thoughts are beyond my expectation."

In a system where men are superior to women, a woman's honor and integrity are particularly important, and in the eyes of many people, they are even more important than her own life.

However, Mu Yunzhu and Mu Ya were able to frame Yan Li and try to make her be abused in Mu Wenxuan. Such vicious thoughts are really disgusting.

"After the prince broke off the engagement, I suffered some stimulation." Yan Li picked up the tea cup in front of him, and said in a calm and calm tone without any unusual fluctuations, "I have been exercising in those days, walking on horseback every day, and even asked Baidie for advice. Some medical theories...Bai Die is the medical woman beside the Queen Mother. When I was injured by Luo Shi, the Emperor asked her to treat my injury, and she stayed with me after that. "

Ling Ning nodded slowly, as if she believed the explanation.

녦She is a martial arts practitioner and knows that men and women are not naturally equal in strength. In less than a month, even if she exercises every day, Yan Li, a teenage girl, cannot be Mu Wenxuan's opponent. .

What's more, there are those family guards in Mu Wenxuan's yard.

But these are not important, she has no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and Yan Li has no obligation to explain everything to her.

Who doesn’t have any secrets in their heart?

"Princess Yu pampers her son, which is why Prince Yu's Mansion ends up like this. It's their own fault." Ling Ning narrowed her eyes and stared at the tea cup in front of her, "It's just that Mu Wenxuan can marry the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. It exceeded everyone’s expectations.”

If it weren't for that accident, Gu Anxian should have married King Jing, but who knew that she ended up taking advantage of Mu Wenxuan.

"Outsiders praise the Gu family's daughter for being smart, dignified, and well-educated, but the fact is that she knows people, faces, but not the heart." Yan Li's voice was a little indifferent, "No matter how well a person with evil thoughts hides himself, he will be devoured sooner or later. "

Ling Ning was silent for a moment. Thinking of Gu Anxian's marriage to Wenxuan, she suddenly made some judgments in her heart: "The scandal between Gu Anxian and Mu Wenxuan... has something to do with King Jing?"

"There should be no direct relationship." Yan Li said, "If there is a relationship, it is because when King Jing learned that the two of them were in the same room, he personally led people to catch the adulterer and brought Mu Wenxuan and Gu Anxian directly into the house. Gong Mian Sheng caused things to escalate in one day, making the Gu family the laughing stock of the entire imperial city. "

Ling Ning's eyebrows were slightly relaxed, so King Jing was telling the truth. Gu Anxian's marriage to Mu Wenxuan indeed had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, the matter in Prince Yu's Mansion has already passed, and there is no need to discuss it too much. Ling Ning changed the subject: "I will ask you out tomorrow. There is something I want to tell you."

The waiter walked to the second floor with a tray and placed the freshly brewed hot tea on the table. He said in a respectful manner: "Please give me some tea, please. Please leave first."

Yan Li took two teacups, placed one in front of Ling Ning and the other in front of him. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for both of them: "I would like to hear the details."

Ling Ning stared out the window at the busy traffic on the long street and said in a calm tone: "Prince Jing wants to marry me."

Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then put down the teapot and looked at her thoughtfully: "You don't want to get married?"

"No." Ling Ning frowned slightly, "The Protector's Palace has a lot of troops. At this time, Prince Jing wants to marry me. Many people think that he wants to compete with the prince, so my grandfather has scruples and doesn't want to get involved. To the battle for the right to inherit the throne."

Yan Li pondered for a moment: "Does King Jing intend to fight for the heir apparent?"

"He said that he had no intention of fighting for the crown prince, and even proposed to demote him to the county king in front of the emperor. He only wanted the freedom of marriage." When Ling Ning said this, her tone was a little strange, "But what my grandfather meant was that fighting for the crown prince is not the right thing to do. He has the final say, and it’s not what he says that other people will believe. If it gets to that point, you won’t be able to do it by yourself, but there will always be someone who will push you to do it.”

What's more, it doesn't matter whether he wants to fight for the heirloom or not. What's important is that once he gets married to the Duke Protector, he has this strength. Even if King Jing is indifferent to fame and fortune, the other princes will never think so.

Yan Li pondered briefly: "Do you like King Jing?"

Ling Ning was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"Being happy between two people is the most beautiful relationship between people." Yan Li said, "Just being born into a royal family, there are indeed many things you can't help yourself with."

Ling Ning leaned against the window with an indifferent expression: "Prince Jing is different from other princes."

Yan Li thought of the scene where she met King Jing for the first time and agreed with her statement: "Even if the Protector has no intention of participating in the party struggle, King Jing is not interested in the throne. King Jing's mother is Concubine Shu, and her status is not low. , The Protector is from a family with military power. Once you two get married, it will make many people sleepless at night. "

Ling Ning said nothing, and her eyebrows became more solemn.

She knew what Yan Li said was right. People would believe many things no matter what they said, otherwise they wouldn't be able to say anything that would shock the master.

King Jing's marriage to her was just a marriage between two happy people to them, but in the eyes of others, it was a marriage between a prince and a military power.

"This matter is not without a solution." Yan Li frowned, "If King Jing does not want the throne, he only needs to give up the position of prince, but this will not completely solve the problem, because no one is sure who will be the new emperor who will ascend the throne in the future. Are you afraid of the Duke Protector’s Mansion?”

Yan Li took a sip of tea, and her voice became calmer than snow, "Once the person on the dragon throne becomes suspicious, Prince Jing, who has given up his position as prince, will not even be able to protect himself."
