In the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, upon hearing Dang Yan recount what had happened today, Old Master An frowned slightly, his sharp gaze suddenly becoming deep. -- --
"Did that girl really do that?"
Dang Yan nodded and said, "Old Master, although the eldest lady is in contact with King Jing as a doctor, from your point of view, it is not a good thing for the eldest lady to be too close to King Jing. So, do you think we should stop the eldest lady?"
"No," Old Master An waved his hand. "That girl is incredibly smart. If I reprimand her, she'll definitely find some clues. It's better to hold back! You don't need to report everything to me from now on. As long as the girl is safe, I believe that person won't have any objections, so just let her be!"
"yes!"
"But this girl has really impressed me. Not only does she understand the art of medicine, she also knows how to do business and design musical instruments. If you say one day that she can fly, I probably won't be surprised." Old Master An raised the corner of his mouth, feeling complacent, with a proud look on his face.
Looking at Mr. An's smug look, Dang Yan really wanted to say something like "Wang Po boasting about melons", but being a naturally taciturn person, he didn't say it out loud.
…
A gentle breeze blew, dark clouds covered the moon, and in the pitch-black night, an agile white figure shuttled through the night sky, leaving an afterimage in the dark night.
"You're so brave to break into the palace gate at night."
As the owner of the white figure stepped on the ground, a majestic voice came out. At the same time, a dart flew out from the darkness, flashing silver light in the night sky.
"It's been a long time since we last met, and you're throwing a dart at me as soon as we meet. Liu Yunsheng, what do you mean?" The man in white nimbly dodged the flying hidden weapon and complained.
"It's nothing special. I've been needing a practice partner lately. You're unlucky... No, you're lucky. I just happen to be in a good mood."
"Bullshit, you unlucky man, let Jing Qingwu overturn the tiles again? Don't use your brother as cannon fodder if you have no place to vent your anger. I'm very busy, brother."
"You're so busy! You just drink tea and enjoy the scenery every day. You have a group of smart and capable subordinates at your disposal. How dare you say you're busy?"
Liu Yunsheng and the man in white were talking back and forth with all their might, punching swiftly and kicking fiercely. The two men, who seemed to be familiar with each other in their words, were now fighting like enemies to the death, until a cold and indifferent voice appeared, and they quickly withdrew their gestures.
"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Jing Aotian stood not far away, his sharp eyes emitting a majestic cold light.
"Aotian!"
"Nineteenth generation!"
The two men withdrew their hands at the same time. Liu Yunsheng stood aside and the man in white bowed to Jing Aotian.
"Why are you here?" Jing Aotian looked at the man in white.
"Nineteenth generation, I have a question, please answer it."
"Speak!" Jing Aotian uttered a word slowly, his pride revealed in it.
"Today I met a man and saw a piece of jade, and I want to know the story behind it." The man in white did not say who he met, nor did he say what the jade looked like, but as soon as he said this, Jing Aotian knew what had happened.
"Why did she end up in your territory?" Jing Aotian was a little confused.
"She's a guest," the man in white replied succinctly, lowering his eyes slightly. His next words hinted at something more. "Nineteenth generation, according to you, the jade isn't 'lost,' is it?"
"Do I look like someone who loses things easily?" Jing Aotian asked instead of answering.
"No, that's why I'm confused."
"That was given to me by the King. Since you already know this, you should inform the Fourth Hall. Be careful when you see her in the future. Also...if her life is in danger, protect her."
Jing Aotian said the last sentence with some hesitation, but he still said it, because the woman said that she didn't want others to interfere in her affairs. Last time, because of a maid, she almost turned against him. If there was a next time, who knew whether the woman would fry him.
However, compared to being blamed by her, her safety is better, because she has something he values. If something goes wrong with her, he will probably be the one who suffers!
"Yes, Fengyun understands." The man in white bowed slightly.
It turned out that the man in white was none other than Feng Yun, who had met An Tingyu today and was also one of the four hall masters of the Nether Palace. When he saw the jade pendant on An Tingyu today that was supposed to be on Jing Aotian, he was very confused, because in his eyes, he never thought that An Tingyu would have anything to do with their mysterious master, so he had thought that the jade pendant might have been picked up by An Tingyu, but it seemed that was not the case.
The warm sun shines and birds sing.
At the little prince's banquet for a hundred sons, people from all walks of life gathered. The young ladies were dressed up gorgeously, and the young masters of official families were elegant and handsome. Everyone greeted them with smiles, but An Tingyu was the only one who had a cold smile on her face, looking coldly at all the hypocrisy in front of her.
They were laughing but unable to see eye to eye, seemingly harmonious but constantly whispering to each other, harboring a sense of turmoil. How could these men and women have come to attend the little prince's banquet for a hundred children? It seemed more like they were here for a blind date, or perhaps to start a war.
An Tingyu followed behind Mr. An silently. Along the way, bureaucrats and nobles came forward one after another to chat with Mr. An, until a surprised voice sounded.
"Eh~ Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? How dare she show up? Going in and out of brothels and getting pregnant out of wedlock, I can't afford to lose face like that. I don't know what Old Man An was thinking, actually bringing her into the palace."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and turned their heads towards the source of the sound.
The woman who was speaking was just a little girl about fourteen years old, with a pair of big, rolling eyes, a playful nose, and a pink outfit. Her watery little face looked very depressed, as if she was really puzzled by An Tingyu's appearance.
