Ye Qianning watched coldly. Emperor Beili went to great lengths to find her, simply because he felt that she had a blood relationship with Marquis Xiang Ming.
Xiang Zhenzhu was just a testing doorstep. If she couldn't knock it open, it would naturally have no value and no one would care about it anymore. But if she knocked it open, that would be the beginning of her nightmare.
The Wang family is not a pushover. If Xiang Zhenzhu is smart enough, she can use the emperor to get rid of the Wang family. But if she insists on focusing on them, they don't even need to do anything. Someone will praise her highly and satisfy her ambitions.
Ambition can drive a person crazy, so crazy that they want to drag everyone down with them into destruction...
Ye Qianning sighed and turned to look at the wall: "Dad, you run out all day long, are you sure you won't be discovered?"
After she finished speaking, Zhan Chi climbed over the wall into the yard, straightened his clothes and walked towards her.
"With so many aristocratic families in the capital, there's no way the royal family would have enough people to keep an eye on me." Zhan Chi walked into the pavilion and pushed the oil-paper package in front of her: "Roast chicken I just packed from Xianrenzui."
“…”
The corners of Ye Qianning's mouth twitched, he didn't look like he was in solitary confinement at all.
Zhan Chi opened the oil-paper package, and the aroma spread out. He handed over the chopsticks wrapped in the oil-paper: "I know you like this. The taste will be worse if it gets cold later."
Ye Qianning took the chopsticks, turned around and told Yingge to get another pair of chopsticks.
"The one who just went out is the child from the second branch of the Xiang family, right?" Zhan Chi asked.
"Um."
"I think the child has bad bones."
"When did Dad learn to read faces?" Ye Qianning raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"He's just starting to learn, and he's figured out a few tricks. Just like that kid, he'll probably be confused once he enters the capital. Your reminders may not be effective."
"That's all I have to say. It's up to her how she chooses to go."
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Although she is not welcome in the Wang family, at least she can live in peace.
The Wang family is a blood-sucking family, but they are not without any humanity.
After entering the capital, Xiang Zhenzhu was more important than the Wang family in the eyes of the emperor. She could control the Wang family with a little more force.
Zhan Chi just shook his head slightly when he heard this.
Yingge brought chopsticks and placed them in front of Zhan Chi.
Ye Qianning cut the roast chicken into two halves, removed the bones skillfully, and pushed one half in front of Zhan Chi.
Zhan Chi was flattered, then raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. The taste was better than usual.
I feel even happier in my heart.
A roast chicken, half each of them ate. Ye Qianning felt a little full, but Zhan Chi was still not satisfied.
"I'll bring two today."
Ye Qianning: "...I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't be eating at your house."
"What's up?"
"Several gentlemen were injured in the assassination attempt in the Imperial Garden yesterday. I want to go and thank you in person tomorrow."
"Yes, I do want to thank you." Zhan Chi waved his folding fan twice. "Students who have graduated from Loushan Academy are heading to the capital in droves. In half a month, the restaurants in the capital will probably be full. Your grandfather's suggestion is that the Zhan family will vacate all the rooms in the house to provide a place for scholars from all over the world to stay."
Ye Qianning thought of something when he heard this: "Don't let Grandpa know about this first."
"What's wrong?"
"This morning I heard that the Crown Prince was reprimanded by the Emperor, and the reason was precisely because of the incident of scholars entering the capital."
Zhan Chi was puzzled: "Why would the Emperor reprimand the Crown Prince when a scholar comes to the capital?"
"The Crown Prince and several civil officials were discussing the matter of the literati staying in the palace with the Emperor. The Crown Prince's opinion was similar to Grandfather's, that the officials' palaces should vacate rooms for the literati to stay in until the priest's ceremony was over."
