After going to Taifu's Mansion with Jian Yu, he met Taifu Jian and was introduced by her. Zhou Jinyan's main focus was on knowing his identity and becoming Jian Yu's person with Taifu Jian.
If something happens in the future, his level of trust in Taifu Jian will definitely be higher than that of outsiders.
He ignored the premise that there was a fatwa. If it were normal, Taifu Jian might not pay much attention to it, but in the current situation, he had to check Jian Yu's side before he could rest assured.
Jian Yu must have mentioned him to Taifu Jian beforehand, otherwise she wouldn't have made it clear to Taifu Jian when she mentioned the title of Manager Rong Er.
The little fox had worries before, but this time he used this matter to investigate him! Even if he asked, he would have a reason to prevaricate.
"It's really an oversight."
Wei Bai, who heard his master's murmur, nodded in agreement. The officials in Shengjing were much better than those generals in Bianbei! Master is right, you can't neglect it!
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Zhou Jinyan looked thoughtful. For a moment, he smiled indifferently. If he wanted to investigate, he would show it.
*
In the past few days, Shengjing has been surprisingly calm. Compared with the lively events one after another before, the people actually felt a little uncomfortable.
Just this morning, Princess Jing, who had been staying in the palace, finally went out.
Her destination is the palace.
After talking to the young prince, Jian Yu deliberately ignored him for a few days, so she didn't call anyone to her.
The young prince also stopped and spent every day in his yard reading or boxing.
There is an inexplicable sense of tranquility in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Then, Jian Yu received an invitation from Concubine Liu Guifei in the palace yesterday.
If it is safe inside Prince Jing's Mansion, it will only be safer inside the palace. As for the midway journey, there is no need to worry. Tomorrow is the training day of the Third Division of the Guard Army in Shengjing City. The streets will be patrolled all day long. No matter how stupid the assassin is, he will not do it here. Time to take action.
After ensuring all safety, Jian Yu entered the palace.
In addition to Hongmei, she also brought Zhou Jinyan with her on this trip, but not as a steward of the mansion, but as a first-class guard of Prince Jing's mansion. After arriving at the palace, he could just wait at the Xuanwu Gate.
Concubine Liu Guifei lived in Jingyang Palace. The palace here has a good view and an excellent location. It is the concubine palace closest to the emperor's bedroom.
Concubine Xi, the mother of the second prince, is now popular among the people as the favorite concubine. Concubine Zhen, who died of illness two years ago, is also the emperor's favorite concubine among the people. There have been four or five people who have been rumored to be the favorite concubine in the past ten years.
There was no Concubine Liu among them.
Looking at the treatment of the concubines, if you pay careful attention, you will find that although Concubine Liu is usually inconspicuous, she is the one who cannot miss any benefits.
She muttered to get the benefits in her hands, and her temper was quite tolerant. Jian Yu let out a sneer, and she remembered a word, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
No wonder Tang Fu can be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Concubine Liu, they are in the same boat.
Arriving at Jingyang Palace, as soon as the sedan stopped, Concubine Liu's personal maid came up to her at the door and respectfully led Jian Yu into the inner courtyard and to the pavilion where Concubine Liu was.
"I've met the imperial concubine." Jian Yu blessed herself and saluted.
Concubine Liu stood up and took two steps forward. She put her hand on Jian Yu's arm to help her up and said, "Princess Jing, there is no need to be polite, we are all part of the same family."
Jian Yu stood up, raised her eyes and landed on Concubine Liu's face.
This is a rather non-offensive face. The crescent-shaped eyes and slightly round baby face make Concubine Liu look a bit childish even at nearly forty years old. Her eyes are clear and bright, and she has a smile with raised corners of her mouth. lip.
No wonder the emperor favored her, with such a pure and innocent appearance, she was like a flower that made people relax and talk in the harem.
"I have long wanted to invite Princess Jing as a guest, but I have never found the opportunity."
Concubine Liu is from Shengjing, but her speech has a soft-spoken feel like that of Wu Nong, a girl from Jiangnan.
While talking with a smile, she pulled Jian Yu to sit down. Concubine Liu's friendly performance made it easy for people to let go of their guard.
Concubine Liu Guifei invited her this time, as if it was really just for conversation.
She said that a close friend of hers had married to the south of the Yangtze River. She asked Jian Yu about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and talked about the customs there. She could not hide her envy in her words and lamented that she did not have the opportunity to take in the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
All the conversations were natural, but Jian Yu heard Concubine Liu's inquiring intentions.
Concubine Liu had a profound meaning in the extension of every sentence and question. She asked Jiangnan if there were any shops with a dazzling array of things that cost thousands of taels to enter. She asked Jiangnan if climbing Tianshan Mountain was like a fairyland...
The actual question behind these words is to see if Jian Yu often goes to expensive jewelry shops, and if she can go to the beautiful hills privately owned by the Jiangnan gentry...
Although these questions are very fragmented, when the information is put together, it is her personal privacy that has never been transmitted to the outside.
Jian Yu had no intention of hiding her clumsiness, so she answered all her questions evasively. The overall conversation focused on ineffective communication.
He not only answered Liu Guifei's question, but also failed to answer what the other party really wanted to ask.
It doesn't matter if Liu Guifei thinks she is difficult to deal with. Jian Yu has no intention of pretending to be a pig in front of Liu Guifei. The other party is a leader in this field, so she won't try to do anything.
Well, one of the main tasks on this trip is to apply eye drops.
Jian Yu took the initiative to mention the past correspondence with the third prince. The "function" of this matter was different depending on the identity.
When she was the second young lady of the Jian family, she mentioned that no matter what she did, she would be the one who suffered in the end. If it was Princess Jing, it would be others who would be panicked.
After chatting for so long, Jian Yu followed the other person's words and answered all the questions she should have. It was her turn.
A flash of narrowness flashed in the depths of her eyes, and Jian Yu said slowly: "Speaking of it, the third prince and I have known each other since childhood and have exchanged letters. The third prince mentioned the imperial concubine. Now that I see it, it is really worse than seeing it once."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Liu's face couldn't help but froze.
She glanced around, remembering that she dismissed the slaves before talking to Jian Yu, and felt relieved.
In order to show her "loyalty", she deliberately kept the nail that the emperor kept in the harem. Sometimes she would use that nail to show her innocence and gain a lot of favor.
It would be terrible if that nail heard this and thought that Princess Jing was having an affair with the third prince!
She doesn't care if Princess Jing doesn't care about these things and wants to destroy her reputation, but the emperor's future cannot be implicated! A prince with bad moral character cannot be a king.
Liu Guifei, who didn't expect Jian Yu to say such a thing out of the blue, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
At this moment, Concubine Liu felt the same helplessness as Mrs. Gu and Princess Qingyun. Could they not defeat Princess Jing? No, it's more that they don't have the courage.
Princess Jing is so reckless that she doesn't care about herself or others! They dare not gamble.
However, just now, Concubine Liu was still relieved, thinking that these words were overwhelming, and what Concubine Jing was going to say next would be a big attack.
Concubine Liu was so frightened that she couldn't care less about her manners and was so frightened that she burped.
