Anyone who took action has been kicked out of the Ji family.
I guess the Fifth Prince's people never used Jianhe as a chess piece in the past few years, which is why she has been able to stay safely in the Ji family for so many years.
This time he rashly approached Baofu, he must have been instructed to do so.
Jianhe herself may not know it, but Ji Yunxi knows that the Fifth Prince and Xing Shuyue have abandoned this chess piece.
Jianhe is not very smart. This kind of chess piece is just a one-time use.
Ji Yunxi thought about it and decided not to touch Jianhe.
This useless chess piece can be put aside for now, maybe it can still be used for some good purposes.
The most important thing at the moment is the fifth prince's plan to sow discord.
The scary thing about the alienation tactic is that even if you don't accept it, check it, or believe it, it has already had an impact.
For some things, "knowing" itself, even if you don't do it, will definitely bring about subconscious changes.
The human subconscious mind is almost impossible to control.
This is like the butterfly in the Amazon.
Ji Yunxi sighed softly.
For example, tonight, Wu Wei'an came back from taking a shower and said to her casually, "I won't be home in the evenings on the ninth, tenth, and eleventh days of the lunar month."
Ji Yunxi leaned against the beauty bed, flipping through the subtle clues he had found, and his fingertips paused.
She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Oh."
Wu Wei'an looked at her, his eyes growing darker, and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm doing?"
Ji Yunxi raised her head and looked at him calmly: "Where are you going?"
The two looked at each other quietly, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.
The next moment, Wu Wei'an suddenly smiled again: "Brother Lin Feng invited me to his house to watch the Epiphyllum bloom. He said that the Epiphyllum should bloom in the next three days and we need to watch it. Is Madam okay with that?"
Ji Yunxi retracted her gaze and nodded: "Okay."

A few days later, it rained several times in Shangjing City.
With each autumn rain, the weather becomes colder. The leaves on the trees have turned yellow without me noticing, and the fragrance of osmanthus fills the streets and alleys.
Qian Yixiu took the divorce certificate, with some injuries on her body, and went to Dongyun Cloth Shop to learn tailoring.
She was born to pursue beauty and all things glamorous.
For the sake of those glittering jewels and those dazzling new clothes, she could have married into the capital despite her parents' opposition.
Now, naturally, because of what Ji Yunxi said, she would divorce her husband even if it meant death.
After the family from the noodle shop found out, they didn’t dare to come to Dongyun Cloth Shop to make trouble.
They were so scared of being splashed with shit that they couldn't keep their noodle shop business going.
The family sold their house and fled from Shangjing in disgrace.
On the tenth day of October, the sky suddenly cleared up.
It was still raining last night, but there weren't many signs of rain on the ground in the courtyard.
Xuezhu got up at dawn and swept the ground clean, even trying her best to sweep away the water in the puddles.
The morning light shines, and a few rays of light fall on the osmanthus tree in the yard. There are traces of water among the orange-yellow flowers, which reflect slightly in the light.
The Hanlin Academy has special uniforms, which are mainly silver-gray, with cuffs, collars and belts in light gray-blue, embroidered with patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
Wu Weian's slender fingertips slowly and methodically tied his belt, but his eyes were fixed on the person on the bed.
Ji Yunxi was still sleeping. She curled up into a small ball, her whole body almost sunk under the quilt, and only her long black hair could be seen flowing out.
This afternoon, she will attend the Osmanthus Banquet.
Tonight, he is going to appreciate the Epiphyllum.
They hadn't spoken about it since they'd discussed it a few days ago.
Wu Weian tied his belt, stood tall in the room, thought for a moment, and then walked away.
As he passed the table, he stretched out his long legs and kicked over a stool with an expressionless face.
The stool made a crisp sound, which startled Ji Yunxi.
She grabbed the quilt and jumped up, looking towards the source of the sound with vigilance.
Wu Weian bent down, picked up the stool, and explained calmly: "I kicked it accidentally."
Ji Yunxi, who was woken up and slow to react, asked: "?"
Wu Wei'an said casually: "Today is the tenth day of the tenth month. I won't be back tonight."
After hearing this date, Ji Yunxi came to her senses.
She lowered her head: "You said it."
"Oh, yes, I think I mentioned it before." Wu Weian's expression was as cold and calm as yesterday's autumn rain. "Do you think I can see the Epiphyllum tonight?"
Ji Yunxi still kept her head down and didn't reply. To this day, she still hadn't made up her mind.
Wu Weian waited for a while, then decided not to wait any longer. He walked out of the room and slammed the door.
Poison Lady was preparing breakfast. When she heard the noise, she was about to send the breakfast over, but her young master walked away without even looking up.
Didn't even have breakfast.
Poison Lady: “???”
What's going on?
*
At 3:00 PM, when Ji Yunxi appeared, many people had already arrived at the banquet.
The host of today's Osmanthus Banquet is the elder sister of the Li family, who is also the cousin of the prince.
Li's elder sister personally greeted Ji Yunxi: "Look at you, your face has become thinner. Is it because the cloth shop has been too busy these days?"
The friendly lady next to him also smiled and said, "Of course it is. Dongyun's clothes are hard to come by now. I can't even buy one if I want."
Ji Yunxi smiled and said a few humble words.
The Osmanthus Banquet was held in the Osmanthus Garden, which was full of osmanthus flowers and had an Osmanthus Pavilion in the middle.
As the women walked in groups of three or four, bell-like giggles could be heard everywhere.
Ji Yunxi glanced towards the distance.
There, Xing Shuyue, wearing a veil, was standing and talking with two young ladies she was friends with.
Xing Shuyue's parents were originally executed for murder, but not long after, the fifth prince helped to change his confession, and the former Dali Temple Minister also died.
Later, Xing Shuyue's aunt became the emperor's favorite concubine.
In addition, Xing Shuyue is not only talented in business, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a well-known talented woman.
