Grand Tutor Xue put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice, "When the late emperor was still alive, Prince Zhuang was also my student. However, he was born a little dull, so the late emperor allowed him to stay in the capital to become a wealthy and virtuous prince, so that he could be looked after."
"Prince Zhuang and his wife are very loving. I was just wondering why Prince Zhuang didn't come and ask you to see his wife when she was seriously ill?"
Jiang Li's medical skills are not to be mentioned in other aspects, at least he is quite famous in the capital.
"The last time I visited him in person, he didn't want me to go in and take a look. I guess..."
Before Jiang Li finished speaking, Jiang Maoshan took over and said, "It must be because of Princess Jingyi. Last time at Liuli Manor, Princess Jingyi misunderstood me and my sister, and ended up marrying off to a foreign prince. I guess Prince Zhuang still remembers this."
If Jiang Maoshan hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Li would have almost forgotten that Princess Jingyi fell in love with her fourth brother at first sight.
"By the way, when will Princess Jingyi marry?"
"On the sixth day of next month," Jiang Yao said, "the emperor also instructed today that Prince Zhuang and his family should leave for their fiefdom on the eighth day of next month, and asked me to select some soldiers to escort them."
Hearing this, Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Maoshan.
Jiang Maoshan shuddered inexplicably, feeling that...something was not good.
Two days later.
After breakfast, Gu Qingchen said that Mo Jiu had brought the army back to the city and he needed to go to the palace to report.
So after Jiang Li checked Bai Zhi's wound, he took Mo Xiaoxiao out alone.
Mo Xiaoxiao looks petite, but she is actually very skilled and is the top-ranked female secret guard in Mo Yun Pavilion.
After the assassination, Gu Qingchen asked Mo Qi to select a female secret guard from Mo Yun Pavilion to protect Jiang Li as a maid to prevent similar situations from happening again.
Although Jiang Li has not been to Mo Yun Pavilion yet, no matter whether it is Mo Xiang or Mo Qi, everyone who works under Jiang Li is now envied by others.
After hearing about this, a huge quarrel broke out within Mo Yun Pavilion. Some people thought that they should not only select female secret guards. Some male secret guards even said that they could dress up as women and lurk beside the princess.
In the end, it was Mo Xiaoxiao who stood out with her real kung fu and protected Jiang Li as a maid.
"Princess, these are the pineapple cakes that the housekeeper bought this morning. I've tasted them for you. They're not poisonous and are delicious."
After getting on the carriage, Mo Xiaoxiao prepared hot tea and pastries for Jiang Li, all of which she had learned through training in Mo Yun Pavilion.
Seeing Mo Xiaoxiao's serious expression, Jiang Li couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
After spending these days together, Jiang Li discovered that Mo Xiaoxiao was actually a foodie. Others used silver needles to test poison, but she would taste it herself after using the silver needles. The most important thing was that she enjoyed every time she tried it.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Li likes her. People who love food are generally the most simple-minded. Moreover, she has always believed that foodies are the cutest creatures in the world, no doubt about it.
"I can't eat right now. Please help me eat."
Jiang Li pushed it to Mo Xiaoxiao.
Then she pursed her lips, pushed the cake back, and said respectfully, "I won't eat it. Leave it for the princess."
Jiang Li smiled, "Don't be polite with me. This pastry can't be kept for too long. If it's kept for too long, it won't taste good anymore. It would be a waste to throw it away."
"But I see that the princess didn't eat much of her breakfast. Are you really not going to try it? It's really delicious."
Mo Xiaoxiao was still hesitant. Since coming to the princess' side, she had eaten more delicious food in the past few days than she had in the whole year she had stayed in Mo Yun Pavilion.
Mo Xiaoxiao swallowed, looked at the pastries, and then looked at Jiang Li.
"Eat quickly. We have things to do today and we don't know when we can have lunch." Jiang Li picked up a pastry and stuffed it into Mo Xiaoxiao's mouth.
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoxiao finally stopped refusing and finished the cakes with a happy look on his face. He felt grateful more than once in his heart that it was fortunate that he practiced martial arts and was willing to put in the effort so that he could be with such a good princess.
When we arrived at Xunxiang Teahouse, Jiang Chong and Jiang Maoshan had already arrived.
"Third brother? Why are you here?"
As soon as he entered the box, Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Maoshan said angrily, "Third brother is such a jerk. He heard that my sister invited me for tea, so he followed me without hesitation."
Finally having the chance to be alone with his sister, he mentioned going out to do something. Who could have thought that the third child would react so quickly!
Jiang Zhong glanced at him and smiled at Jiang Li, "This guy is too unreliable. I came over to take a look and see if there is anything I can do to help."
If Jiang Maoshan hadn't had such a cocky smile on his face when he left, he might not have been able to guess it.
only--
After hearing about today's plan, Jiang Zhong suddenly regretted following along.
"Sister, do you really want to do this?"
Jiang Zhong clutched the corner of his clothes and looked at Jiang Li pitifully.
Jiang Maoshan, standing by, smiled complacently, "Sister, you're wise. We look the same anyway, so Princess Jingyi can't tell us apart."
"Third brother, I'm sorry to have wronged you this time. Fourth brother is right. If we let him use the beauty trap, it would be bad if Yin Jia finds out and misunderstands." Jiang Li thought about it carefully and realized that he really couldn't joke about his fourth brother's happiness.
"But I..."
"Since you've been a bachelor forever, please sacrifice for my happiness."
Jiang Maoshan's scalp tightened when he thought of Princess Jingyi. He quickly stood up and massaged Jiang Zhong's shoulders. At the same time, he was thankful that he had Yin Jia as a shield.
Looking at Jiang Li's pleading eyes, Jiang Zhong sighed.
There's no other way. She's my own sister, so I have to pamper her myself.
Glancing back at Jiang Maoshan, Jiang Zhong spat, "Get lost, you old bastard! You only know how to say you like Miss Yin in front of us? If you have the guts, go say it in front of her! I'm telling you, if Miss Yin doesn't become my sister-in-law, I won't forgive you!"
