Chen Miaoyi was thinking about how to increase her favorability and win over Xiao Bijue, while Xiao Bijue was thinking about when to kill her.
Even if she was a neighbor, the first time she went there was to borrow something, and the second time was to return something. Xiao Bijue would not come to this house every day, so it was really not easy to create such a situation.
Based on his personality, Chen Miaoyi thought that if she went there often, she might be suspected of having ulterior motives.
"System, since I don't have a legitimate identity this time, can you provide his location information at any time?"
"Of course not. Xiao Bijue is a living person who has to go to work every day. We will only provide relevant information at important nodes."
He went to the palace and the Embroidered Uniform Guard every day, but Chen Miaoyi didn't have the right identity to get in.
She moved here in mid-September. In the past ten days, Xiao Bijue only came to this courtyard for two or three days.
In early October, the marriage between An Changrui and Princess Kangning was finalized, and they got married in early October.
Not long after she left, she was busy getting remarried over there, and she didn't even bother to be shy about it.
One is a relative of the royal family, and the other is a new noble in the court. Naturally, countless people are rushing to make friends with them. When the princess gets married, the wedding dress is spread for ten miles and the gongs and drums are loud.
It would be a waste not to eat at the banquet, so Chen Miaoyi took Dan Niang to the banquet.
The An Mansion was decorated with lights and red decorations everywhere. When Chen Miaoyi came back, she felt that the house was a little unfamiliar.
"This... Madam?"
They arrived late, and the servants at the door thought they had seen things. Who would come to congratulate someone on getting divorced? Were they here to cause trouble?
"No need to call me Madam, call me Miss Chen. I'm here to congratulate you, so don't bother with me."
Amid the stunned gazes of the servants, she calmly found a place to sit.
The men and women were separated, only by a few rockery stones, so they could see each other.
As soon as she came, Old Lady An saw her and her face darkened.
"What are you doing here? I'm warning you, today is my son's big day. If you dare to mess with me, I'll be rude to you!"
Old Lady An grabbed her wrist tightly and threatened her viciously.
"I'm here to congratulate you. Princess Kangning invited me here. Let go quickly and don't let others laugh at you.
If you don't know me, you might think you are reluctant to part with me, your former daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. An immediately let go.
Because of Chen Miaoyi, the Jinyiwei had been keeping an eye on the An family and the Changping Marquis' Mansion these days, and Xiao Bijue was the first to know that she was there.
"An Tanhua is getting married today, what is she going to do?"
Xiao Bijue asked, if this woman was sent to monitor him, or to plot something, she could go back and report today.
I didn’t expect An Tanhua to be so cruel. He divorced his wife, with whom he had slept for three years.
"I don't know. Perhaps it's jealousy. My husband married someone else, but I was divorced."
The subordinate answered with a stiff upper lip, "It's not good to say we're going to a banquet, right?"
"Prepare a gift, find a few people who haven't eaten yet, and go together to congratulate An Tanhua."
Xiao Bijue gave the order, which could both investigate the situation and solve the food problem for his subordinates, killing two birds with one stone.
"Ah? Sir, you are going?" The subordinates were a little bit unbelieving. Their commander never went to such occasions.
Generally, no one in the court would want the Jinyiwei to go and congratulate their family when they had a wedding. Those who knew about it thought it was a congratulation, while those who didn't thought it was a search and confiscation of property.
Xiao Bijue's eyes glared, "Why, I, a dignified third-rank Jinyiwei commander, am not worthy to congratulate him on his victory in the imperial examination?"
"Pair, sir, you are honoring him by going. I will go and prepare it right away!"
Xiao Bijue sneered, An Changrui, I want to see what you are up to.
Anfu.
Amidst the music and dance, the triumphant An Changrui rode a tall horse, followed by a red sedan chair. He married Princess Kangning.
All the guests present sighed in admiration. Although he did not have a real job yet, he was already favored by the emperor. Now he had married a relative of the royal family. I'm afraid he had a bright future!
How come all the good things are taken by this one person?
"An Tanhua, you are so lucky!"
"An Tanhua, congratulations!"
Everyone congratulated him, but the bride was not allowed to touch the ground.
An Changrui bent over and carried Princess Kangning on his back. He was teased and congratulated along the way, and then he settled her into the new house.
Chen Miaoyi was just about to go find Princess Corning when she heard a prompt from the system.
"Host, the target is about to appear, please pay attention!"
When I looked up, I saw the extremely handsome, cold and aloof man Xiao Bijue appearing at the door with several Jinyiwei.
For a moment, the scene was completely silent. In just a few seconds, everyone had too many things on their mind.
The Jinyiwei had all come, and no one thought they were there to congratulate. One of them had been entrenched in the court for many years and was the emperor's indispensable right-hand man.
One is the newly crowned third place winner, and the two will never have any intersection anyway.
Then there is only one possibility, he is here to check on someone!
Either An Tanhua has gotten into trouble, or Princess Kangning’s family is doomed.
Will they attend the banquet or not? Some people have even planned to run away and distance themselves from the matter as soon as possible if the situation becomes unsatisfactory.
They are here to make friends, not to cause trouble.
An Changrui had just entered the court and did not even hold a proper official position, so naturally he did not know who Xiao Bijue was, but he recognized the clothes of the Jinyiwei.
Could it be that Chen Miaoyi had orchestrated this to ruin his marriage?
Fortunately, there were still a few ministers present at the scene. They immediately stood up and bowed. There was no way to escape anyway.
"Why is Commander Xiao here? Long time no see, long time no see!"
If you can't afford to offend, make your attitude clear immediately.
An Changrui immediately reacted, "Commander Xiao, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you in person! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
There was no expression on Xiao Bijue's face, and he looked like he was here to do something bad. Everyone was worried, wondering if they could still eat.
"Someone come!"
Xiao Bijue roared, and some people in the guest seats stood up. This was the end!
"I am presenting this official's wedding gift to An Tanhua. An Tanhua, I am here to ask for some good luck. You won't object, will you?"
What you said was full of twists and turns, and everyone was in a state of distress. It seems that you are here to have a feast.
"It is my great blessing that Your Excellency can come. Please come in!"
Everyone at the table finally felt relieved, knowing that they were not here to arrest anyone.
Xiao Bijue did not take a seat, but found a seat close to the women. An Changrui and Chen Miaoyi were already under his gaze.
An Changrui toasted him and he drank it all in one gulp. Then everyone was really sure that this person was here for the banquet!
It was just unusual. A third-rank official coming to eat at the table of a young scholar was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it. Unless the emperor had other arrangements, the Jinyiwei would always obey the emperor's orders.
