Although her request was rejected without mercy by Manman, Lianying knew in her heart that her words did not mean to reject her.
She was just upset about the fact that she was not chosen in the first place.
Therefore, Lianying only said, "As long as you help me this time, and as long as you don't harm the princess, I can do it. I will agree to whatever you want."
Hearing Lingying's words, Manman was obviously a little moved, "This is what you said!"
"I said it." Lianying took the initiative.
After hearing this, Manman did not immediately say her request. She just turned around and turned over something on the bedside. After a moment, she handed a letter to Lingying and said, "Then you can do it for me." Send this to Carpenter Li's shop in the west of the city, and I'll help you once it's delivered."
Lianying let out a surprised sound.
Manman rolled his eyes and said, "What? You're not willing to do such a small favor?"
Lianying immediately waved her hand and said, "Of course not."
She just didn't expect that Manman asked her to do such a small favor. After all, she was outside the palace now and was Princess Jin's right-hand man. It was easy to send a letter when she wanted to go out.
Seeing that Lingying did not reject her, Manman handed the letter to Lingying. Lianying naturally took the letter.
Seeing that she had been staying here for a long time, Lianying finally said to Manman, "If you need my help with anything else in the future, just tell me directly, or you may have other letters to send." , you can tell me anything.”
After hearing Lianying's words, Manman said okay.
After Lianying emerged from the dog hole in the clothing department, Jiang Nianjiao looked a little uneasy.
After all, Lianying had been there for a while, and she was afraid that something would happen to Lianying in the clothing bureau.
But after seeing Lingying come out, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lianying was completely pulled out of the dog hole, she quickly helped Lianying up and helped Lianying clean the dirt and grass clippings on her body. "Lianying, how are you? Did you get any news from the house?" "
Hearing this, Lianying only looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "After Aunt Coriander's accident, everything in the place where she slept was burned to the ground. There is really nothing that can be found at the moment."...
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look disappointed.
Lianying naturally saw the disappointment in Jiang Nianjiao's eyes, so she quickly said, "But although Aunt Coriander didn't leave any information, Manman, who worked for the Concubine Xian with me before, found out something."
After that, Lianying told Jiang Nianjiao word for word what she found.
When Jiang Nianjiao got the news, she naturally frowned, "Can I ask Manman to continue to inquire about other people's stories?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao ask about this, Lianying chuckled and said, "I have thought of this a long time ago, and she has already promised me."
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only praised Lianying, and then the two of them turned around and headed towards Jingtai Palace.
Before the two of them turned around, the palace maid who followed Jiang Nianjiao naturally heard a general outline of the conversation between Jiang Nianjiao and Lingying.
In the Winter Palace, Concubine Qi was absentmindedly stabbing at the flower shed, until the palace maid outside came into the room and whispered, "Mother, hibiscus is back."
"Just come back when you come back. There's no need to come to my side to wait for me. Let her go back." Concubine Qi said absently.
The palace man did not leave, so Concubine Qi couldn't help but said upset, "What? You don't even listen to me?"
"I'm scared. Madam, it was Sister Mujin who said she had something important to report." The palace man knelt down quickly and explained.
At this time, Concubine Qi had no intention of listening to this. She just waved her hand and said, "Okay, I understand. Let her go down. Let's talk about it later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hibiscus, who was also worried, had already walked in. "Mother, I have something important to report. It's very important."
Seeing that she had already barged in with a solemn look on her face, thinking that Mu Jin was the only maid she could use, she just condoned Mu Jin's intrusion and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
At the same time, she only waved her hand to signal the maid who had just knelt down to beg for mercy to step back.
There were only two people in the room, but Hibiscus seemed to be still...
Somewhat worried, she just walked up to Concubine Qi and whispered, "Mother, I just followed Concubine Jin all the way. What do you think I saw?"
Hearing this, Concubine Qi still said gloomily, "What?"
"Princess Jin just said she was going to relax, but she was actually going to the Huanyi Bureau." Mu Jin whispered.
Hearing this, Concubine Qi couldn't help turning her head to look at Mu Jin and said, "What is she doing at the Huanyi Bureau?"
"Not only did she go to the Clothing Bureau, but she also went through the main entrance. I just listened to their conversation, and it sounded like Princess Jin was skeptical about Aunt Coriander's death. And it seemed that she was actually asked to find out some things at the moment. Doubtful."
Hearing this, Concubine Qi immediately turned to look at Hibiscus, and then she just said with an unclear expression, "You mean she is checking about Coriander?"
Mu Jin only nodded affirmatively again, and then she continued, "Aunt Coriander was once a person close to the Concubine Xian. It seems that Princess Jin is doubting whether Aunt Coriander's death is strange, or whether she is suspecting Princess Jin's death." It’s strange.”
After listening to Mu Jin's words, Concubine Qi did not speak, but her eyes darkened slightly.
When we returned to Jingtai Palace from Huanyi Bureau, the banquet was already in full swing.
Emperor Yong, who had just appeared recently, had already gone back to rest. Now the only person left to host the banquet was Liang Wang Zhao Nianze.
Without Emperor Yong here, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more casual.
There was even a romantic one who, after drinking a few more drinks, ended up dancing with the dancers.
When Jiang Nianjiao passed by, there was a drunk person who only thought that Jiang Nianjiao was a dancer at the banquet. At that moment, the man just stretched out his hand to take Jiang Nianjiao's hand.
He just smiled and said, "Beauty, how about we dance together?"
However, before his hand touched Jiang Nianjiao's sleeve, Jiang Nianjiao was already pulled into his arms.
The drunk man burped and was about to ask angrily who took away the beauty he was interested in.
However, when he met the man's eyes, he only shuddered.
"Jin...His Royal Highness King Jin." He called Zhao Yanzhen in a stuttering voice.
Zhao Yanzhen was holding Jiang Nianjiao with one arm at this time. He only reminded him in an unclear way, "So Mr. He is not drunk. I thought Mr. He was so drunk that he couldn't tell what night it was."
He didn't look evil, but the man still felt the majesty and danger from Zhao Yanzhen.
At the moment, he was mostly sober, but he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or something else. When he stepped down, he felt his legs were weak, and then he fell to the ground softly.
Seeing the man lying softly on the ground, Zhao Yanzhen did not give him any more trouble. He just said with a cold face, "Come here, help Mr. He up quickly."
After saying these words, he pulled Jiang Nianjiao back to his seat.
It wasn't until he reached his original seat that he finally said, "Where were you just now?"
Jiang Nianjiao just replied smoothly, "The inner room is too turbid. I went out to take a breath."
When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he just complained casually, "Why did it take so long? Aren't you afraid of freezing your body?"
But when Jiang Nianjiao was about to speak, Princess Liang Xu Zhilan on the side suddenly said casually, "It's fake to be breathable, but it's real to meet someone."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao quickly looked directly at Xu Zhilan. Naturally, she would not think that Xu Zhilan's words were just casual remarks.
Could it be that she saw herself going to the Clothing Bureau just now?
Although Jiang Nianjiao had doubts in her heart, she still showed a smile on her face and said, "Princess Liang is joking, who else can I see in this palace?"
"And by the way, Princess Liang also went out just now, right? Could it be that Princess Liang is using herself to save others?"
Jiang Nianjiao's words blocked Princess Liang's words. She was obviously choked, and she only said "you" in displeasure.
But she didn't know what she thought of, so she finally swallowed it again.
Seeing that Princess Liang was no longer talking, Jiang Nianjiao naturally did not try to tease Princess Liang anymore. She was only secretly thinking about when she could enter the palace again and what excuse she would use.
However, although Jiang Nianjiao
There was no dripping eyebrows between her brows, but Prince Jin could still see Jiang Nianjiao's serious brows.
He always felt that Jiang Nianjiao was hiding something from him, which made him somewhat unhappy. "Jiaojiao, you are tired right now. How about we go back now?"
Jiang Nianjiao had no intention of staying here anymore, so when Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative to propose this, she just nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yanzhen then naturally spoke to King Liang and other elders.
Then Zhao Yanzhen led Jiang Nianjiao out of Jingtai Palace. It was already the New Year's Day, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
By the time they came out, fluffy snow had already begun to fall on the horizon.
Fortunately, Jiang Nianjiao asked Lianying to prepare an oil-paper umbrella before entering the palace.
At this moment, Lianying only quickly opened one of the oil-paper umbrellas. However, when Lianying was about to hold the umbrella for Jiang Nianjiao, Zhao Yanzhen took the umbrella from Lianying's hand and said, "I'll do it."
After saying this, he just gathered up Jiang Nianjiao's white fox fur cloak, then he held Jiang Nianjiao's hand with one hand and held an oil-paper umbrella with the other, and the two of them walked together in the snow.
Jiang Nianjiao glanced at Zhao Yanzhen unconsciously. From the mood swings when she heard that he was still alive, to when she saw him back at the city gate, Jiang Nianjiao still couldn't believe it.
However, when she really felt the remaining warmth in his palm, Jiang Nianjiao felt a little bit real.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally felt that Jiang Nianjiao's eyes were falling on him at this time, so he just asked lightly, "What are you looking at?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just whispered, "It's nothing, I just can't believe that I can see you again."
