Ye Lizhu returned home, and Ye Jiayou asked about it. Ye Lizhu thought that it would not be good if he said that he had not accomplished the task and Ye Jiayou would deliver it in person another day.
Therefore, Ye Lizhu said that King Qin accepted it.
Ye Jiayou had no doubts anymore. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and distinguished guests suddenly came to the capital, and Ye Fu'an was also very busy.
As for the Ye family, Wu broke her leg that time and was unable to recover from her injuries. She is still recovering from her injuries, and Aunt Zhou is handling everything at home.
As the New Year approached, Jiang Ranyi and Jun did not return to Wanzhou. Instead, Jiang Ranyi's father and brother came to the capital to celebrate the New Year with Jun.
Ye Lizhu took some time off and went to Jiang's house.
Jiang Ranyi was wearing a lotus-colored dress and lazily leaned against the window. When she heard Ye Lizhu coming, Jiang Ranyi suddenly became interested and quickly called Ye Lizhu in.
Ye Lizhu took off her cloak and walked in: "How are you doing these days, cousin?"
Jiang Ranyi smiled delicately and said: "This period of time is not bad. Grandma asked my brother and father to come to the capital, so I don't have much to do."
Ye Lizhu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your marriage to the young man from the Tian family—"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Jiang Ranyi's eyes: "The marriage of that thing with a human face and a beast's heart has been resolved."
Ye Lizhu was relieved when she heard that the engagement was terminated. However, Jiang Ranyi, who had always been gentle, actually cursed people this time, which Ye Lizhu also found strange.
Ye Lizhu asked: "What happened in this?"
Jiang Ranyi took a sip of tea and raised her eyes to look at Ye Lizhu: "It's boring to be bored at home. It happens to be noon. You and I will go out to have something to eat. We'll talk as we walk on the road."
Ye Lizhu nodded.
After sitting in the carriage, Ye Lizhu heard something from Jiang Ranyi.
Just some time ago, there was an oiran in a brothel in the capital. It was said that this oiran was charming and very good in bed. Tian Zhuo slept in flowers and willows all year round. After having a romantic relationship with this oiran, they actually spent the whole day together. Indulge yourself in a brothel.
It is not uncommon for noble sons to live in brothels all year round. After all, brothels are mostly opened for people of this status. But the absurd thing is that Tian Zhuo actually wanted to break off the engagement with Jiang Ranyi after listening to the courtesan's gossip. He took the initiative to find Jun a few days ago, said some unpleasant words, and even gave Jun a disease .
Tian Zhuo caused a big trouble and verbally terminated the engagement. Naturally, Mrs. Dun Guo refused to comply. The Jiang family is extremely wealthy, and can solve the crisis in Duke Dunguo's palace. Tian Zhuo was blinded by lard, and came to break off the engagement in a crazy way. He did such a stupid thing, and Duke Dunguo's wife naturally came to deal with the aftermath.
Mrs. Dunguo came to Jiang's house and apologized in every possible way, except that she knelt on the ground and apologized to Jun.
Mrs. Jun was so angry at Tian Zhuo that she was getting better and worse day by day. When she saw Mrs. Dun Guo, she was sitting on the hospital bed with seven or eight maids guarding her. Mrs. Dun was also frightened and said she was not showy. this matter.
Tian Zhuo was rude to Jun and wanted to break off the engagement, which would have caused a lot of discussion among the people in the capital. The two families settled the matter privately, and Mrs. Dun Guo apologized, and the marriage was barely saved.

As a result, when the oiran in the brothel heard this, of course she refused to obey him and wanted to live or die all day long. Tian Zhuo was indeed fascinated by this oiran. The beauty wanted to die, all because of the fiancée whom he had never met. Therefore, Tian Zhuo hated her so much. Jiang Ranyi came to Jiang Mansion again to cause trouble.
This time, the Tian family completely offended the Jiang family, so Jun promoted the marriage openly and asked the fierce slaves in the house to beat Tian Zhuo for causing trouble.
After Jiang Ranyi said all this, her face was still red with anger: "My mother's health is not good to begin with. I have seen men who don't know etiquette, but I have never seen such a lack of etiquette. My mother was so angry that she lay in bed for several days. This dude!"
Ye Lizhu thought there must be something weird in it.
That day, she and Jun heard Tian Zhuo talking to someone. Although they didn't see the person clearly, she could guess that Tian Zhuo was a rotten and shrewd person.
How could such a shrewd man come to the Jiang Mansion to cause trouble and offend the Jiang family just because of a brothel girl
You know, given the relationship between the Jiang family and the Ye family, if you offend the Jiang family, you will basically have no relationship with the Ye family.
Moreover, Mrs. Jun is not a person who can't stand anger. During this period of time, she was in the capital, taking care of many industries. In the management process, she would inevitably have conflicts with others. If she was the kind of person who would collapse in anger, she would not let her down. All the servants of the Jiang family were afraid.
Ye Lizhu felt that there must be something fishy in this, but Jiang Ranyi didn't know. It was probably Jun who didn't say anything. Ye Lizhu doesn't have much curiosity either.
After not seeing Ti Xiao for several days, Ye Lizhu also felt sluggish and lacked energy.
Jiang Ranyi took Ye Lizhu to the restaurant owned by her family, and they went to the second floor together.
Jiang Ranyi knew that Ye Lizhu had no appetite for meat and fish, so she had some signature vegetarian dishes brought over.
Jiang Ranyi said: "Yesterday, Jiayou came to see my brother. I was embroidering and listening to their conversation. Jiayou said that His Highness King Qin wanted to marry you, but the prime minister refused. Zhuzhu, is this true or false?"
Ye Lizhu didn't know about this, but she was stunned.
"Y-really?"
Jiang Ranyi said: "You said before that King Qin seems to be your destined noble man, and I think it will work. However, we don't understand what happened in their court. After Jiayou left yesterday, my father and my brother They all think that this marriage cannot be concluded, but it is not good to mention it in front of Jiayou, after all, it is your marriage. Zhuzhu, do you have much contact with Prince Qin? Is he sincere, or is he deliberately trying to scare the prime minister? "
Ye Lizhu said: "If he brought it up, he probably wasn't joking."
"Do you just believe him so much?" Jiang Ranyi held her chin, "I don't know much about this, but my mother said, be careful about everything. The Prime Minister's role in the court is very subtle, and His Majesty will not let you marry Even if someone from the prince's side is married, they will be disadvantageous to you."
Ye Lizhu had considered this before.
Her head hurt.
Since there are so many difficulties to overcome in getting married, it is better not to get married. Ye Lizhu has always been afraid of trouble.
Ye Lizhu didn't know how powerful Ti Xiao was, and how powerful it could be to maintain her life span for several years. If it can only last for two, three, four or five more years, then death sooner or later will be the same.
She wasn't afraid of death, Ye Lizhu just liked the feeling of Ti Xiao being close to her. The pleasure is addictive.
And during this time, the addiction became stronger and stronger. After not seeing Ti Xiao for two days, Ye Lizhu felt tired.
Jiang Ranyi poured some soup: "Let's eat something to fill our stomach first. The chef of this restaurant spent a lot of money to hire him, and his skills are very good. Try this soup."
Ye Lizhu took a sip and said, "It's sweet and delicious."
Jiang Ranyi said with a smile: "Some prince and princess from Xia Kingdom came over two days ago and hosted a banquet here to entertain people. The food in this restaurant is indeed delicious."
Ye Lizhu was sitting next to the window. She heard something sound outside. She opened part of the window screen with her bare hands and pushed the window to see. It was a large French window. The cold wind blew on Ye Lizhu's shoes. Ye Lizhu felt her feet were cold. She looked down.
When I came just now, there were a lot of people coming and going downstairs, but now the street is empty.
There was the sound of horse hooves, and Ye Lizhu glanced at it. A dozen men dressed as guards were sitting on horses, walking in front. They were equipped with weapons, looked straight, and wore armor, which looked majestic.
Ye Lizhu put her hand on the window. She felt cold, so she quickly retracted her hand and said to Jiang Ranyi: "The roads outside were empty. There were sounds just now, but now I see a dozen guards riding past."
Jiang Ranyi took a sip of the soup and said: "Perhaps the King of Qin and the Crown Prince have returned from training. I saw them here a few days ago. Their battle formations are always scary and arousing people's fear. I wish the whole capital knew that the King of Qin was helping the Crown Prince." Support me. Zhuzhu, come here, don’t look over there. It would be bad if you accidentally fall if you are frightened by them. I don’t know how the builders of the building fixed it. These windows all have windows like this. The wind blows in the spring and autumn. It’s a bit more comfortable, but sitting here in winter and summer is uncomfortable and extremely dangerous.”
After Ti Xiao left the capital, the emperor was partial to others. It was clear that Zhao Yun was the prince, but the emperor only gave Zhao Yi a good look.
A group of officials who worshiped the superior and looked down on the inferior fawned over Zhao Yi all day long, stumbling over Zhao Yun in small and big matters, making the crown prince not like the crown prince and the prince not like the prince.
After all, Zhao Yun is a teenager, and the emperor has been on the throne for so many years. Even if he is mediocre, he has seen ups and downs. It is still easy to handle a child who has not experienced major events. When the queen is in the harem, she is always overshadowed by the imperial concubine.
The emperor was so partial. If Zhao Yun was just a little bit more clumsy or clumsy, he would be caught and unable to turn over. After all, the King of Qin is a minister. If the prince makes a big mistake, it is not a glorious thing for him to forcefully support him.
Xianzhou and the capital are thousands of miles apart. This time, the King of Qin directly brought many soldiers and horses to station outside the capital. This was a great threat to both the emperor and the ministers in the capital. The King of Qin suppressed the second prince and demonstrated to the ministers in the capital to let everyone know who the real prince was and not to fall on the wrong team.
The prince was sweating all the way to the capital. He said: "Uncle, this time you are in the capital to hold various banquets and ceremonies during the New Year. My father will definitely not dare to neglect the queen and let the imperial concubine usurp the glory of the queen."
Tixiao has always disliked the emperor. If he were in the position of prince and suppressed by the emperor in every possible way, he would definitely kill the emperor and seize the throne. Although the prince can make decisions on many things, he cannot be cruel on this matter. Blood is thicker than water, no matter how ruthless the emperor is, he is still the biological father of the prince. The prince is affectionate and the most gentle in love. If he is not forced to a dead end, he will not do anything.
Ye Lizhu saw that everyone had passed by, and Ti Xiaocai and the prince were riding slowly on the street. She took a hairpin from her head, and while Jiang Ranyi went out to order the servants to serve the food, she knocked a hairpin off. Standing by the window, he took the pearl and threw it to Ti Xiao.
She originally wanted to hit him to make him look back and remind him to remember to find her when he had time. Anyway, the pearl was so small that it only hit Ti Xiao. There was no one else on the street and he couldn't see it.
Unexpectedly, when the pearl was about to hit Ti Xiao's head, he raised his hand to catch it, and then turned back.
When the prince heard the sound, he turned around in surprise and saw a little girl in white standing on the second floor. There was nothing blocking her. She looked quite dangerous.
Ye Lizhu realized something was wrong and turned around to close the window and leave. The pearl in Ti Xiao's hand bounced back and hit Ye Lizhu's waist with a moderate force. Ye Lizhu's body went limp and he fell from the window. .
Tixiao flew up and caught the person steadily. When he fell down again, both of them sat on the horse.
Ye Lizhu's eyes were red and she was so ashamed that she almost cried. She didn't know it was Ti Xiao who hit her with the pearl, so she thought it was because she ducked and accidentally dropped it.
This was her first time riding a horse. She timidly pulled the reins and whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Ti Xiao held her waist with one hand and said in a cold voice: "Standing there alone, are you really not afraid of death?"
There was nothing blocking him in such a dangerous place. Normally, a group of men who knew martial arts would be sitting there drinking and watching the people on the street. She, a little idiot, was actually standing there and had the audacity to hit him.
Ye Lizhu was shocked just now and was scolded by Ti Xiao again. She cried instantly. While wiping her tears, she said: "I'm sorry, I thought I couldn't fall off."
The prince squinted his eyes and recognized this lady from the prime minister's family. Isn't my uncle secretly in love with someone? Why are you reprimanding this little girl with such harsh words like you would a child? At this time, shouldn't he be kissing the little girl's face and whispering comfort
Ye Lizhu was wearing thin clothes in the house just now and did not wear thick clothes. Ti Xiao took off his cloak and wrapped it around her body.
Jiang Ranyi was upstairs. When she turned around and saw that the room was empty and the window was open, she turned pale with fright. When she looked down, she saw that the person was on the horse, so she asked the maid to close the window and go down.
