"Your Highness, Young Master Ji is here."

Not long after Xiao Mu returned to the mansion, he heard a servant report that Ji Huaining had come.

"Huai Ning, didn't we just leave, why did you come to my house again?"

When Xiao Mu heard the rumor that the second son of the Ji family was outside, he thought the servant had made a mistake, but it turned out that it was really Ji Huaining.

"Cheng Ting was here just now, and there are some things I don't want to say to you." Ji Yanli continued, "You just need to know that from now on, you should be on guard against Cheng Ting, and don't let him stuff any dubious people Here you go!"

When Xiao Mu heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Huai Ning, what does this mean?"

Ji Yanli couldn't speak bluntly, but could only say euphemistically, "Since Cheng Ting found out that Concubine Shu intends to select Princess Mu for you, it is inevitable that he will have some wrong thoughts, you just need to be careful."

Xiao Mu understood what Ji Yanli meant, "Brother Cheng, how could he..."

"I heard that a distant relative came to Cheng's mansion today and lived in Cheng's mansion." Knowing that Xiao Mu couldn't believe it for a while, Ji Yanli could only slowly persuade him, "You must be on guard against others, you should be on the alert good."

After hearing these words, Xiao Mu recalled what Cheng Ting asked him today, and became suspicious of Cheng Ting, "I see, please trouble Huaining to go this far."

Ji Yanli smiled at Xiao Mu, "You and my brother don't have to do this."

Xiao Mu smiled gratefully at him.

Seeing that this matter has already been discussed, Ji Yanli simply asked the question, "Xiao Mu, there are only you and me here now, if you believe me, just tell me, do you want that position?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Ji Yanli, cried and laughed, "You and I grew up together, and are closer than those brothers in the palace. How could I not believe you. It's just that the position of emperor is never something I want to fight for or not. If I don't fight, will the crown prince and second prince let me and my concubine mother go? No! So I have to live, and I have to fight for my concubine mother."

Ji Yanli saw that Xiao Mu mentioned the crown prince and the third prince, but did not mention the sixth prince, and asked, "Where is the sixth prince? Are you so sure that he doesn't want that position?"

"The Sixth Emperor's body is weak, and he was often bullied in the palace because his biological mother was not favored. He was used to being submissive since he was a child, so how could he want to compete with us for that position?"

Submissive since childhood?Heh, in the last life, he secretly colluded with the third prince, found evidence in Jifu, proposed that Jifu collude with Yanbei, and asked the emperor to order the destruction of my Ji family, but it is your submissive younger brother!

Ji Yanli said, "The one who knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart, you should be careful about your sixth brother!"

Xiao Mu thought for a while and nodded.

Ji Yanli said, "Knowing that you are ambitious, I am relieved. I will definitely help you!"

Xiao Mu laughed and said, "What can you do to help me? You don't have an official position yet."

Ji Yanli said disapprovingly, "Although I don't have an official position yet, soon my eldest brother will send me to the military camp to hone me, let me establish a military industry, and be promoted. Besides, my father is a general. Guarding the frontier for many years is not in Jingzhou, but it is also a well-known general who protects the country. My elder brother is the captain of Xiaoqi, who is in charge of the generals of the Imperial Guard and the barracks. If you have them to help you, you are afraid that there will be no other military officers rushing to curry favor with you. You?"

Xiao Mu sounded reasonable, nodded and said, "But all these years, everyone knows that your Ji Mansion only keeps neutral and never takes sides, how can you persuade them?"

Ji Yanli gave Xiao Mu a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

After hearing this, Xiao Mu saluted Ji Yanli, "That's it, Xiao Mu thanked you!"

"Okay, okay." Ji Yanli hurriedly pulled Xiao Mu up, "You said that I'm closer than your brother in the palace."

Xiao Mu smiled, "It's not too early then, let's stay and have dinner together!"

Ji Yanli shook her head, "No, I have to go home and discuss with my elder brother first, and pass my elder brother's place first, before he can persuade my father with me."

Once Xiao Mu heard this, he didn't stay any longer.

After Ji Yanli had dinner with his elder brother, Ji Yanli invited Ji Qingru to go to the study with him.

Ji Yanli asked, "Brother, do you have a prince who is particularly important now?"

Ji Qingru took a look at Ji Yanli, and said in a business-like manner, "His Royal Highness, with the support of the queen, is too weak to be of any use. The third prince is also very terrific and embarrassing. The sixth prince is timid and afraid, so he can't be that position."

"Where is the fourth prince? Brother, you have mentioned all the other three princes, but you have not mentioned him. What do you mean?" Ji Yanli asked Ji Qingru with a smile.

Ji Qingru asked with an uneasy expression, "I know you and him have always had a good relationship, what did you mean by your question today?"

Ji Yanli was afraid that his elder brother might misunderstand and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, it's my own idea."

Ji Qingru said sternly, "Do you know that our Ji family has never participated in the matter of the prince seizing the heir?"

"I know." Ji Yanli paused and continued, "But can we really be alone if we don't participate? Father will come back from the border soon, right? When father comes back, Ji's mansion will be the most popular, you Do you think they will keep us out of this matter? Instead of having one more person who doesn’t know whether it’s an enemy or a friend, it’s better to try to get rid of it, so as to avoid future troubles.”

After hearing Ji Yanli's words, Ji Qingru felt startled, one was surprised that he had never thought about these words, but every sentence made sense.The second is that he was surprised that these words came from his ignorant brother.

Ji Qingru said with relief, "Ah Li, you have grown up!"

Ji Yanli lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, Ah Li also wants to protect the people he cares about, so brother, I hope you can think about what I said today."

"You let elder brother think about it!" Ji Qingru turned around and continued to ask, "Do you want my father and I to support His Royal Highness?"

"Yes." Ji Yanli nodded, and said, "Aside from my relationship with him, as you said, His Royal Highness is too weak, the third prince is treacherous and cunning, and the sixth prince is timid and fearful, so only the fourth prince is worthy of it." Be a master!"

Ji Qingru retorted, "But His Royal Highness has the support of the current queen, and the mother and concubine of the third prince is the daughter of the current prime minister. Does the fourth prince have a backer?"

Ji Yanli said kindly, "The current empress only supports the title of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He would not object to it if someone else took over. What he wants is a stable life in the future. It is precisely because the third prince's mother concubine is The daughter of the prime minister, do you think the emperor will be willing to hand over the country to the family of the powerful person? Then in the future, the country can still be named Xiao? Although the relatives of the fourth prince's mother and concubine are not highly respected people, they can't help Xiao There are too many, but His Royal Highness is magnanimous and kind to others. There are many people who support him in the court, but they dare not express their opinions easily. If you have the support of your elder brother and father, it will be like a tiger with wings."

After hearing Ji Yanli's words, Ji Qingru said three good things in a row to express his joy, "Okay, good, good! Our Ji family has Ah Li, and we will never go out and be called reckless Already!"

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Ji Yanli said helplessly after hearing this.

"Brother has recorded what Ah Li said. When my father comes back, I will discuss it with him."

"Then father is coming back?"

"Yes, already on the way back."

"That's good!"

Ji Yanli thought that he had to speed up. I remember that in the last life, not long after his father came back, the rumors that his father had colluded with Yanbei began to spread in the court, and no one cared at that time.Unexpectedly, it later became □□.

"Take a look, take a look! Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Hey, freshly baked buns!"

Just after noon, there were endless shouts in the market.

"My lord, look. There are handkerchief sellers over there." Zhubei pointed to an old woman in front.

"Go, go and have a look." Ji Yanli raised her leg and walked in that direction.

Ji Yanli squatted on the ground, picked up a white handkerchief embroidered with begonias, "Grandma, how do you sell this?"

The old woman raised three fingers tremblingly, "Three pennies."

Ji Yanli took out a gold leaf from the purse and gave it to her, "Here, I want it."

"My lord, I can't find it, I can't find it." The old lady quickly waved her hand.

"There's no need to look for it." After speaking, he took Zhubei away and went to Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Master Ji, it's here again!" Mother Li said when she saw Ji Yanli at the door.

Ji Yanli smiled and said, "Yes, please trouble Mama Li to go up and report."

"Okay, Mr. Lao Ji is waiting."

"Young master, Wang Meng was originally a former cabinet scholar, but he was suppressed because he offended others by his outspoken words in the court, and sued the officials in a fit of anger." Cen Xinghui reported.

Mo Yunyuan didn't care about this, and asked, "Is there a marriage?"

Cen Xing replied with dilated pupils, "I once had a husband, but he passed away due to illness!"

Mo Yunyuan frowned when he heard the word man and wife.

"Young master... Wang Meng is over sixty now..." Although Cen Zhi didn't know why the young master asked him to inquire about Wang Meng, he still said cautiously from the side.

beep, beep~

"Master, Master Ji is here again." said the mother outside the door.

Mo Yunyuan tilted his head, looked at Cen Zhi, "Go down and meet him."

After a while, Cen Xing came down and took Ji Yanli upstairs.

"Yun Yuan, I'm here to give you a handkerchief." Ji Yanli handed the handkerchief he just bought to Mo Yunyuan.

Mo Yunyuan took the handkerchief and said, "You have a heart."

Seeing Mo Yunyuan take the handkerchief, Ji Yanli said happily, "As long as Yunyuan likes it, that's fine."

Mo Yunyuan stirred the handkerchief in his hand and said, "If Mr. Ji is fine, it's better not to come to Qingfeng Pavilion less."

"Why?" Ji Yanli frowned, puzzled.

Mo Yunyuan stirred the handkerchief in his hand and said, "Young Master Ji comes too often, don't let outsiders misunderstand. At that time... the person whom Young Master Ji likes knows about this will damage his reputation."

Ji Yanli laughed when he heard this reason, and suddenly remembered Yun Yuan's inexplicable anger yesterday, "Yun Yuan, you can't be...jealous, right?"

Mo Yunyuan's hand stopped suddenly and he looked up at Ji Yanli, "How could that be! Young Master Ji was joking."

It was the first time Ji Yanli saw Mo Yunyuan's embarrassed look, and found it very interesting, "Then why does Yunyuan care so much about my favorite person?"

"Never!"

"Then were you jealous yesterday?"

"Never!"

"Mo Yunyuan, is it because you are stupid, or because I haven't said it directly, you don't understand my intentions."

Mo Yunyuan looked at Ji Yanli, not understanding what he meant, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yanli didn't answer, but pointed to Cen Zhi and Cen Xing and said, "Let them go out first, and I'll tell you."

Mo Yunyuan didn't hesitate, "Back off!"

"Young Master!" Cen Zhi took a step forward, before he could say anything, he was dragged down by Cen Xing.
