After waiting for about a cup of tea, Xiao Chun and Fu Dong led Chen Jin to Jiang Xue.

"Has breakfast been arranged so quickly?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Yes, Wu Anlang worked hard on duty last night. When he got up in the morning, the servants had already told them to prepare the kitchen. They just took them to the dining area and came back." Xiaochun replied.

Jiang Xue looked at the young man and tried to recall his performance in yesterday's test.

She thought for a long time and said to Chen Jin sincerely:

"I remember you, your name is Chen Jin."

Chen Jin: "..."

The two of them at dawn and spring: "..."

Jiang Xue thought to herself, you can't blame me. There were ten people in the audience yesterday, and she only remembered the one who argued loudly - Jiang Qibin.

Xiaochun said: "Brother Chen Jin and Chen Xiu look very similar."

"Chen Xiu is Chen's younger brother." Chen Jin replied.

Only then did Jiang Xue remember that Jiang Yu had asked him about their relationship in the palace.

"How many people are there in your family?" Jiang Xue asked.

"My parents passed away early, leaving me and Chen Xiu alone."

What a crime, Jiang Xue thought to herself, there were only two brothers in total, both Wu Anlang, with a bright future ahead of them, yet they were dragged into the Prince Consort's residence by her at the same time.

Anyway, after the hole in the Prince Consort's house was filled, she planned to compensate these Wu Anlangs.

"I heard from Jiang Qibin that you are very skilled?" she asked.

"Every one of Wu Anlang is one of a hundred."

"It's true that everyone is one of a hundred, but among this group of one-of-a-hundred people, there must be someone who is more outstanding." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

"I dare not accept it."

Jiang Xue felt a little dizzy looking at his expression of ice that had remained unchanged since he entered the room.

"You mean, Jiang Qibin didn't tell the truth?" she asked.

"I haven't."

Jiang Xue sighed helplessly, this man really cherished his words like gold.

"Then I just want to ask you, if Jiang Qibin and the other four Wu Anlang are compared with you, are you superior to them in skill?"

"Yes."

"That's enough." Jiang Xue said.

"From today onwards, you will personally protect me, and -"

"Teach me some boxing and kicking skills."

Jiang Xue's words were concise and to the point.

This is in the Gu Mansion, and the days to come will definitely not be as peaceful as in the palace.

Wu Anlang could protect her for a while when he was by his side, but what if one day she was left alone?

She no longer wanted to be just a pampered princess.

You must first be strong enough to protect yourself, and then you can protect others.

No matter the imperial brother, the father, the queen or the queen, even Xiaochun, Fudong, He Zhilin, or Wu Anlang in front of me.

She can't just treat the people who protect her as a burden.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jin's expression cracked slightly.

Fu Dong was surprised: "What did your Highness say? Martial arts training is the most difficult thing. How can Your Highness do it with his body of gold?"

Xiaochun looked calm, tugged on Fudong's sleeve and said, "Your Highness must have his own plans."

But she added: "But please think again, Your Highness. If Your Highness is worried about what happened last night, it may be more reliable to go back to the palace and ask the Queen to send more people."

Jiang Xue said: "No, this matter is not because of what happened last night. I have already planned this."

"Chen Jin, I just want to ask you, are you willing or not?"

"I'm afraid I can't do my best." Chen Jin replied.

"If you are afraid that you are not strong enough - Xiaochun, go and call Chen Xiu for me." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Since you are brothers, and the elder brother is very skilled, I think the younger brother is also good. It would be good to have him teach me."

As expected, Chen Jin's expression softened. Before Xiaochun could answer, he immediately said:

"I can give it a try."

Jiang Xue suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Then thank you Guard Chen."

Chen Jin has his concerns, and Jiang Xue can understand.

After all, the order his mother gave him was to drive her away, but it was actually to protect her safety.

But before he got his life, he took it upon himself to become the martial arts master of the princess of this dynasty - if this matter came out, the Yushi Yanguan would first accuse her of immorality, and then he would offend her.

This matter is risky, so he will not agree easily.

But he would not put his brother in danger.

Jiang Xue guessed that both brothers chose to stay yesterday - one of them was unwilling to leave, and the other also chose to stay.

These two brothers are each other's weakness.

Once you know his weakness, it's not difficult to get his consent.

"Then starting in three days, at three o'clock every day, go to the back of Wenqingxuan Courtyard to teach me." Jiang Xue said with a smile, looking like he was in a particularly good mood.

This time was chosen because there are few people in the morning and it is not easy to be noticed.

And Gu Lintan had to go out to court at 15:00 every day. When he left the house and started again, no one in the house needed to worry.

And to keep this matter secret, the backyard—at least the area around Wenqingxuan—had to be properly cleaned.

She said: "You should go down and have a meal first. After you finish the meal, call Wu Anlang here. I have something to explain to you."

Chen Jin nodded expressionlessly.

After Chen Jin left, Xiaochun said to Jiang Xue: "Your Highness, the Prince Consort has sent someone to say that breakfast has been prepared in Jifu Hall. Your Highness, do you want to go over now?"

Jiang Xue asked: "Where is the consort?"

Xiaochun said: "I have already gone to court."

"Fu Dong, you go to the kitchen to prepare something light and bring it to Wen Qingxuan. I can eat here."

Fudong took the order, and soon the meal was served.

Jiang Xue picked up a bowl of hot cheese and blew it carefully.

"Xiaochun, in the morning you first familiarize yourself with the maidservant in charge of the backyard of the Gu Mansion. In the afternoon, call everyone to the side courtyard of Wenqingxuan. You and Fudong will investigate carefully."

"I ask Qingxuan to only leave you and Fu Dong, as well as the four-life palace maids brought from Changle Palace to serve you. You can take a closer look at which of the rough servants are relatively innocent and keep them in my courtyard to clean up."

"Send all the rest of the people out. There is a west courtyard in the Gu Mansion. It has been vacant for a long time, so I have arranged for some people to work there."

Write down the dawn of spring and dawn of winter one by one.

Jiang Xue took a few mouthfuls of cheese and seemed to be tired of it. She put down the bowl and said, "The food in the Gu family is really average."

Xiaochun said: "I will ask Xiangyun to make some ginger dates later for His Highness to eat to fill his stomach."

"Let's arrange lunch in the winter and make something delicious." Jiang Xue held her face in her hands, feeling a little distressed.

"How about this slave cook for His Highness - lotus root stewed with pearls, fish fillet with snowflakes, and lion's head with crab meat?" Fu Dong thought about the dishes with his fingers.

"Okay, let the chef of the Gu family cook more of what Gu Lintan is used to eating."

"Does the palace want to invite the consort to share the afternoon meal?" Fu Dong asked. She had noticed that the consort had not been feeling well for a day or two.

"Yes, you send someone to wait at the gate. After the prince-in-law comes back from court, tell him that I will invite him to come to Wenqingxuan for lunch."

"Do you need to avoid the consort in the afternoon?" Fu Dong asked.

"Avoid him? Why are you avoiding him?" Jiang Xue said with a smile, "I just want you to inquire under his nose. The bigger the fanfare, the better."
