Cui Lingze and his sister Cui Yanwu also grabbed two dormitories by relying on the reputation of Duke Cui's Mansion.
Listening to the voices outside the courtyard, Cui Lingze looked at his sister with a serious expression: "What happened today is really strange."
"Brother, do you believe in Master Huiji's advice?" Cui Yanwu opened his lips slightly and looked at Cui Lingze calmly.
"Master Huiji rarely speaks critically, but this time he said something like this, and I'm afraid it has a deeper meaning. When we return, we must discuss this with Grandfather and Father."
Cui Yanwu frowned. "Brother, our Cui family is currently in the spotlight. The Emperor is unclear about his intentions and has just dealt a heavy blow to the Chengguo Mansion. Now something has happened at the Yongle Earl Mansion. This matter has been publicized in public, and I'm afraid it's not just our family that wants to get to the bottom of it. We'd better wait and see what happens."
Cui Lingze looked at her with relief: "Don't worry, I just closed the door and discussed it with my grandfather and the others. I don't plan to do anything."
Cui Yanwu showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "As long as my brother knows it in his heart."
Seeing his sister being so sensible, Cui Lingze couldn't help but tap her forehead gently: "My sister is so considerate, who knows which boy will get her in the future!"
Cui Yanwu's face showed no trace of girlish shyness. She smiled and said, "Everything is up to my father and brother. I was born into the Cui family and have enjoyed all the wealth and honor. I should do my best to contribute to the family."
Cui Lingze looked at her with pity: "My sister is the best. I will definitely find you the best man in the world!"
——
No matter how noisy it was outside, or how the people from Yongle Earl's Mansion shouted at the mountain gate to open the door, no one disturbed the dormitory in the bamboo forest.
Ji Minghao looked at the sky which was getting darker and darker, and knocked on Ji Changying's door with some worry.
"Aying, I want to talk to you."
Zheng Xiangyi and Ji Changying were chatting inside, and they quickly shut up when they heard this.
Ji Changying smiled apologetically at her, stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Ji Minghao whispered, "Did you say you could notify your family during the day?"
Ji Changying nodded: "I have asked Dasha to go home quietly to inform his family that we are fine."
Ji Minghao's frown suddenly relaxed: "I was wondering why he didn't meet me. Is his skills okay?"
Ji Changying half covered her mouth and said, "It's okay. I asked someone to open the back door for me. It doesn't matter even if we get discovered."
Ji Minghao suddenly realized: "Then I feel relieved!"
He looked around and lowered his voice again: "What do you think of the 'miracle' that happened during the day?"
Speaking of this, Ji Changying was silent for a while. If the "Buddha's light" above Huiji's head could be explained by the Brocken phenomenon: that is, the sunlight is reflected through the clouds and diffracted by the water droplets in the clouds, and finally a circle of light is formed.
Then the Weituo flower, a night-blooming cereus that only blooms at night, blooms and withers instantly during the day, which completely goes against the nature of living things. She really doesn't know why.
"I don't know either." Ji Changying shook her head.
Ji Minghao said hesitantly: "I think this monk is a charlatan."
Ji Changying looked at the third brother in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"When things go wrong, there must be something fishy; when people go wrong, there must be something fishy."
Ji Minghao didn't know how to describe his feelings, so he just shook his head and said this.
"Okay, this isn't something we should worry about. Go back and get some rest!"
Ji Minghao was anxious to go back and sort out what had happened that day. He pushed Ji Changying back to the door of the room and went back to rest.
Zheng Xiangyi didn't ask what the two had said, but looked at Ji Changying with some guilt: "To be honest, today's incident is all my fault. I originally thought that the incense at Huangjue Temple was effective, so I came here to ask for a peace amulet for you, and then I would go back to the city and treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. But now, I didn't get the amulet and I'm detained here."
Ji Changying said nonchalantly, "No one expected this to happen. How can I blame you? I'm usually bored at home, and I'm so happy that you asked me out!"
Zheng Xiangyi was somewhat happy: "I'm glad you don't find me troublesome!"
Yingtao felt somewhat relieved watching this scene. "My princess may not know, but my daughter is the only child in our Zhenguo Mansion. The Emperor took pity on her and gave her the title of Princess Kangning."
"Although many young ladies often ask my daughter to be their guest and go out to play, many of them say one thing to my face and another behind my back. They praise my daughter's straightforward and unpretentious personality in front of her, but they often say bad things about her behind her back..."
Some people were too extreme and even said behind the girl's back that the second master was killed by the girl.
When Cherry thought of this, she felt indignant for her daughter.
At that time, her daughter was not born yet, and the second master clearly died in an accident, but those people insisted on putting this blame on her daughter. It was obvious that they had bad intentions!
Zheng Xiangyi also thought of these past events. The smile on her face disappeared. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "They said that my father was killed by me."
Ji Changying suddenly realized. No wonder Zheng Xiangyi didn't greet her the first time she saw her. Instead, she was very familiar and said to her in a somewhat annoyed manner that she was late.
It turns out she is also a princess!
Seeing the sadness on her face, Ji Changying couldn't help but speak in surprise, "You don't really believe it, do you? Isn't this the joy of the enemy? Think about you, you are born into a noble family, you are the only one in your family, all the elders hold you in the utmost love, and the emperor has given you the title of princess. Compared to those people at home who have to fight for food, drink and clothes, aren't you much better off?"
"It's normal for those people to be jealous of you. The only thing about you that gives them a lot of lip service is your father's absence. If everything were perfect for you, wouldn't that drive people crazy with jealousy?"
"I used to be often called a fool!"
Zheng Xiangyi couldn't help laughing when she said that: "Hahaha, now that you put it that way, it seems to be true!"
Ji Changying gracefully stroked her cheek. "This isn't an illusion, this is the truth! If you're not envied, you're mediocre. Who's to blame for our good fortune?"
Her face practically had an expression of 'What can I do? I don't want to do this either'.
This smug expression with a hint of asking for a beating immediately amused Zheng Xiangyi, who fell sideways on the bed and laughed out loud, feeling a lot more cheerful.
Even Yanyun and Yingtao covered their mouths and laughed.
At night, feeling that everyone else was asleep, Ji Changying tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
No matter how she thought about it, the dark shadow that flashed by during the day looked like her master, Ren Dongnan.
Because his master was blind, his ears were always extremely sharp, and he always used sounds to determine the location. During the day, the man's ears moved, and he heard something, and then his toes disappeared.
Even the posture is exactly the same.
But her master should be in Liangzhou at this time, why is he here?
