Jiang Tingyi was startled, and his eyes fell on Mu Xiuyu's handsome face, his expression slightly stiff.

This was the second time Mu Xiuyu emphasized that there was just a misunderstanding between him and Yan Li.

The implication was clear, he didn't want to offend Yan Li.

Especially when he looked at the dozen imperial guards standing in front of him, he was even more convinced of Yan Li's weight in the emperor's heart. King Yu did not dare to risk offending her.

Mu Xiuyu had such awareness, but Tai Da did not.

Jiang Tingyi thought that when Mrs. Tai came to the Jiang family last time, she didn't take Yan Li seriously - if the Ninth Prince hadn't arrived in time that time, a conflict might have broken out.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but compare Tai Da and King Yu in his heart, and he felt a sense of fear.

That time he was standing behind Tai Da.

If the Ninth Prince were not here, the conflict between Tai Da and Yan Li would most likely be reported to the emperor by the Royal Forest Army, and the Jiang family would inevitably be implicated at that time.

Jiang Tingyi took a breath and nodded slowly: "Your Highness, King Yu, please rest assured that Yan Li is now the emperor's personal duke, and the Jiang family will abide by the proper etiquette and will not be polite."

Tai 떚 is no match for King Yu.

With these words flashing through his mind, Jiang Tingyi's mood suddenly became heavy, and even his steps into Liuli Courtyard were much slower.

"His Royal Highness King Yu." Aunt An was building flowers and plants in the courtyard. When she saw two people coming, she bowed and said, "Your Highness is practicing calligraphy. I asked you not to disturb anyone."

Mu Xiuyu said with a smile: "Can I please go and pass on Aunt An again and tell me that today is my gift? Please ignore the minor faults of Duke Nanyang and condescend to meet me."

Aunt An looked embarrassed.

"King 녤 will leave after saying a few words." Mu Xiuyu said, "If it's inconvenient to meet, it's okay for King 녤 to stand outside and say it."

After all, he is the emperor, and with his posture so low, there is really no reason for Nanny An to continue to embarrass him, so she has no choice but to say: "Your Highness, King Yu, please wait a moment."

Aunt An turned around and walked into the room.

Yan Li stood in front of the writing desk, concentrating on writing and practicing calligraphy, his lowered eyebrows as cold as snow.

She heard everything Mu Xiuyu said, and there was no need for Nanny An to repeat it. "Go tell Mu Xiuyu and tell him that there is no antidote for the poison Gu Heyu was poisoned. It will only hurt for a while, and there will be no major damage to the body."

Nanny An lowered her head in response, turned around and walked out, repeating these words to Mu Xiuyu word for word.

After hearing this, Mu Xiuyu quickly understood that Yan Li was deliberately teaching them a lesson, warning him not to take advantage of her again in the future.

As an emperor, Mu Xiuyu had never suffered such a big loss in his entire life, and he was inevitably angry.

But he is not impulsive and brainless, and a lesson is enough. It will do him no good to continue to provoke Yan Li.

Convinced that he couldn't find the antidote, he simply stopped pestering him and quickly nodded and left.

Jiang Tingyi sent him out, remaining silent all the way.

"Why do you look so preoccupied?" Mu Xiuyu glanced at him, not knowing what he was thinking, "Mr. Nanyang is just a little girl, and she has not yet grown up. With the blessing of Gongmei's identity, she can use her little temperament to It’s just a normal thing, so don’t take it to heart, Mr. Jiang.”

Not in time for your haircut yet?

Jiang Tingyi thought back to the time when Yan Li's engagement was broken off, how had Yan Li behaved like a little girl who hadn't even had hair extensions yet?

The visible power of the Queen Mother and the Jiang family was all due to Yan Li.

What she said and did, her facial expressions and demeanor were completely different from usual.

What happened to Yan Li?

Jiang Tingyi was puzzled.

After Mu Xiuyu left, he turned around and went to his grandfather's study.

After telling his grandfather truthfully what happened today, after a long silence, Jiang Taifu only said: "Don't get too close to King Yu."

Jiang Tingyi's thoughts were revealed by a sentence, and he looked a little embarrassed, so he could only nod in agreement.

There was no further disturbance in the next few days.

Yan Li stayed quietly in Liuli Courtyard practicing calligraphy, martial arts, and reading without being disturbed.

Jiang Jingyue continued to receive training at the hands of the two nuns.

Everyone in the Jiang family, from Taifu Jiang and Mr. Jiang to the three brothers, had no intention of causing trouble to Yan Li again.

On the day when the Ninth Prince announced his appointment, the entire imperial city was almost in a state of excitement.

Especially the ladies from various families who have not yet left the government.

After hearing the news, they took their maids out early and quietly occupied the best restaurants or teahouses in the imperial city with the best view. They excitedly watched this scene, which was more grand than the wedding of a concubine.

The formation is huge and stretches for ten miles.

The carriage wheel was loaded with generous betrothal gifts, and the long procession went to a certain courtyard in the south of the city in an orderly manner, making the ladies' eyes turn red with envy.

"I heard that the Ninth Prince bought a separate courtyard for Nanyang Gong, specifically to place these betrothal gifts."

A girl held her chin and looked out the window, her eyes shining: "I'm so envious of me! If I could have such a son-in-law in my life, I would die without regrets."

A girl in a blue dress frowned and said: "I heard that the Jiang family is not good to Duke Nanyang. The Ninth Prince gave these betrothal gifts to Duke Nanyang alone. This seems to be quite comfortable."

"It's really comfortable." Shen Huifu, the legitimate daughter of Shen Yushi's family, stood aside and looked at the endless carriages on the long street with envy. "Before Nanyang Gonglu was named a duke, he was just a cousin who was fostered in the Jiang family. Girl, I’m engaged to Tai Da, but Tai Da says she’s immoral. Don’t you think this accusation is hurtful?”

The girl in blue skirt thought thoughtfully: "It does hurt."

If Yan Li was really a dishonest person, would the Ninth Prince still be willing to marry her?

The Ninth Prince, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, should have a better vision than the Queen Mother, right?

So there must be something behind the cancellation of the engagement. Anyone with a brain will understand it after a little thought.

The girl holding her chin said calmly: "The Queen Mother is the crown prince of a country. With such a son-in-law, which woman would be stupid enough to have an affair with another man?" Tianlai Novel Network

Shen Huifu nodded: "And the incident happened in the Jiang family mansion. If there really was an outsider entering, wouldn't the Jiang family know? How could the Nanyang Duke have the opportunity to contact an outsider?"

The girl in the blue skirt concluded: "So this must be a frame-up."

As for why Yan Li was framed, the reason is even simpler, because the Queen Mother did not want to marry an orphan of low status, because the Jiang family wanted Jiang Jingyue to be the Queen Mother.

In short, no matter what the reason is, an orphan with no backing and no background can be bullied at will, right?

Fortunately, good things come after adversity.

Unexpectedly, because of the broken engagement, Yan Li, an orphan, was loved by the emperor and became the Princess of Nanyang, and was granted marriage to the Ninth Prince.

Now it's good. When they meet in the future, the Queen Mother will have to respectfully call her the Ninth Emperor Aunt. I wonder if he regrets it?

"Now the Jiang family has lost more than they gain. Jiang Jingyue has become the Queen Mother as she wished, but something happened to the Queen..."

"Hush." ​​Shen Huifu frowned and hurriedly stopped the girl from talking, "Don't you want to die? You dare to discuss the matter of abolishing the Queen?"

The women were silent, and the teahouse fell into a brief silence.
