Shen Yuyu was not surprised at all by Ji Xun's question. She had already guessed it when Ji Xun got off the carriage.
Of course, this does not mean that the Duan family has only one young master of marriageable age, but that Duan Zhengde is such an upright and upright person. He will do anything that is detrimental to himself and will only arrange it for his own son.
"But Duan Jue was chosen?" Shen Yuyu asked.
Duan Jue is the second son of the Duan family, a dashing young man. If he really marries a madman like Princess Dali as his main wife, it will definitely have a great impact on his life.
Apart from anything else, Boss Yan's vicious and violent personality would definitely not allow Duan Jue to have another woman, so Mr. Duan's life would definitely be in dire straits.
However, if Dongfang Yan is replaced as the concubine and Duan Jue is allowed to marry a woman he likes as his wife, at least the impact will not be that big.
Shen Yuyu guessed that Ji Xun must have thought the same way. Ji Xun nodded as expected, with a solemn look on his face.
"It is Duan Jue, the second son of Duan.'
He didn't know anything about children's love affairs, but he believed that Youyou was so smart that she would be able to come up with a good idea.
Shen Yuyu frowned and thought for a moment, looking at Ji Xun's apricot eyes.
"The plum blossoms in our Prince's Plum Garden are in full bloom. How about inviting the princes and young ladies from various princes to come to Yewang's Mansion tomorrow morning to appreciate the plum blossoms, and then go to the school grounds to compete in the afternoon?" As he said this, he asked Ji Xun intriguingly. eyebrow.
Second Young Master Duan is as handsome as Pan An, and Dongfang Yan is very handsome. As long as she finds a way to make Dongfang Yan fall in love with Second Young Master Duan, it is not impossible for her to enter Duan's house as a concubine.
After all, she is a 'madman'. If you give her some medicine to make her even crazier, she may be able to do anything.
Ji Xun came over understandingly, pinched his wife's pretty face and spoke softly.
"Okay, then it's decided, but Youyou shouldn't worry too much, leave everything to Grandma Liao to prepare."
"The New Year is approaching, and my husband is busy with state affairs. He is away from the house for a lot of time and cannot accompany you. I have asked Shadow to recruit two female secret guards with top kung fu skills so that they can be by your side at your disposal."
"Okay, husband." Shen Yuyu nodded. The secret guards around him were all men, which was indeed a bit inconvenient. It would be much more convenient to have two female secret guards with him. There is no difference between men and women.
The two of them talked and returned to the Night King's Mansion.
At this moment, Dongfang Qi, who had left the palace and returned to Ye Wang's Mansion, had already arrived at Xuanchun Pavilion.
Although Xuanchun Pavilion is not very gorgeous, it is clean and elegant.
At this moment, the two wing rooms of Xuanchun Pavilion were already occupied by people. It was the two female secret guards that Shadow brought into the mansion to protect Shen Yuyu closely.
One is named Miaoxiang and the other is Hongyu.
The reason why they are arranged to live here is so that they can protect Princess Ye during the day and protect Dongfang Qi at night, getting the best of both worlds.
"Miss Aqi, you will live here from now on." A nun sent Dongfang Qi into Xuanchun Pavilion and opened the door of the main room. "Tomorrow, the nun in charge of the house will arrange some work for you." .'
"Okay." Dongfang Qi put down her princess figure and responded calmly.
Since she agreed to work as a maid in the Night King's Mansion, she naturally knew that she would not be able to eat and drink for free here.
The gap between the princess and the maid is not that big, and she can tolerate it as well.
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If you don’t experience the bitter cold, how can you get the fragrant fragrance on the branches?
Dongfang Qi comforted herself while walking into the ordinary decorated room.
"Excuse me, mama, where can I get hot water?" Dongfang Qi glanced at the cold room, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
The room was deserted, there was no charcoal fire, and there were no servants to wait on it. Even the bed was covered with ordinary quilts and bed curtains. It was gray and dark. Dongfang Qi's heart was still cold at first glance.
But when she thought of the Night King's handsome, almost god-like face, she immediately cheered up again.
This is the Night King's Mansion, and His Highness the Night King, whom she is obsessed with, is currently in a courtyard in the mansion, and she is so close to him.
It's a pity that the one being held in his arms at this moment is not him, but Princess Ye, a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside!
Huh, just thinking about it makes me angry! His Royal Highness the Night King is such a handsome man, how can such a country bumpkin deserve to be his princess?
As Princess Dali, she will one day win over the Night King, sleep with him day and night, and become the most beloved woman of His Highness the Night King!
Thinking about it this way, Dongfang Qi no longer felt how difficult her current situation was, and she felt quite happy.
"There is a kitchen in the backyard. Miss Ah Qi can heat hot water by herself." Grandma said, pointing to the east, "That's where the guards of the house live. There are special aunts who heat hot water. You can also bring it over there.
.'
"Okay, thank you, mama." Dongfang Qi looked very polite, without any airs of being a princess. If she hadn't come into the house in a hurry and didn't bring any money, she would definitely reward these servants with money.
As long as you have money, it will be much easier to win people's hearts.
After grandma left, Dongfang Qi picked up a bucket and was about to go to the guard's residence in the east to get hot water. At this time, she met Miao Xiang and Hongyu coming back carrying a bucket of water.
"You two girls are polite, do you live here too?" Dongfang Qi took the initiative to greet them with a smile, her eyes and expressions as gentle as possible.
He didn't know the identities of Miao Xiang and Hong Yu. Seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and not very old, he thought that they were also servants living in Xuanchun Pavilion.
"Yes." Miao Xiang and Hong Yu stood still and spoke politely.
"What's your name? Are you new here too?" Miao Xiang looked at Dongfang Qi with a smile. As a secret guard, she already knew who was standing in front of her, so she deliberately asked this question to dispel the other person's alertness.
"Yes." Dongfang Qi nodded, "My name is A Qi, what about you?"
Miao Xiang and Hong Yu each introduced their identities, and then one of them entered the east wing and the other into the west wing carrying hot water.
Dongfang Qi thought for a while, took off a gold hairpin studded with jewels from her head, took it in her hand, and followed it into the west wing.
"Miss Hongyu, can I come in and sit for a while?" Dongfang Qi smiled and opened the door.
"Okay." Hongyu replied, and Dongfang Qi walked into the house, turned back and closed the door.
After sitting down, Dongfang Qi directly put the expensive gold hairpin on the table and whispered to Hongyu: "Miss Hongyu, you may not know my true identity. In fact, I am the fourth princess of Dali Kingdom."
As he spoke, he pushed the golden hairpin in front of Hong Yu and looked at her with a smile on his face.
"I'm attracted to you right away. How about I accept you as my sister?"
Hongyu glanced at the golden hairpin, was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head.
"Are you really Princess Dali? Then how can I be qualified to be your sister? No matter what, no matter what.'
Dongfang Qi picked up the golden hairpin and stuffed it into Hong Yu's hand, and said with a chuckle, "Buman, you said, I love His Highness the Night King so much that I am willing to join the palace as a maid. My current status is the same as you, a maid.
, how can you not be my sister?"
When she mentioned her deep love for His Highness the Night King, Ruby's eyes dimmed.
She likes His Highness the Night King~~Why doesn’t she?
Ever since she met His Highness the Night King for the first time when she was ten years old, her heart no longer belonged to her.
In order to get closer to His Highness the Night King, she practiced martial arts hard, and now she finally got the opportunity to serve His Highness the Night King.
But the heart of His Royal Highness the Night King belongs to Princess Ye. When she entered the palace to attend the banquet tonight, she sneaked to the vicinity of Youran Palace and saw from a distance that the man she had loved for many years was so gentle and considerate to another woman.
Treasure, no one knows how painful her heart is!
And the Princess Dali in front of her is so crazy for love. Is it worth it or not?
Perhaps out of sympathy, Hongyu nodded and said, "It's not impossible to accept you as my sister, but I can't accept your things."
"Okay, Sister Hongyu."
Dongfang Qi took a closer look at Hongyu and saw that she was not just a piece of property that could be bought, so she put the gold hairpin away with a smile.
"I also feel that whether we are friends or sisters, our friendship is not measured by gold, silver and jewelry, but by a sincere heart."
Hongyu smiled and acquiesced.
After the two said a few words, Dongfang Qi left the west wing in a wise manner and went to fetch hot water with a bucket.
Early the next morning, Miao Xiang and Hong Yu went to Youran Palace on errands, while Dongfang Qi was still sleeping in bed. When Nanny Liao knocked on the door and woke her up, she had not remembered where she was for a while.
"Who are you? It's so noisy so early in the morning." Dongfang Qi rubbed her eyes and opened the door. When she saw it was a majestic-looking old woman, she quickly looked at the environment inside and outside the house before remembering that she had already entered.
At night, she worked as a maid in the palace. She quickly calmed down her arrogant demeanor and lowered her head.
"From today onwards, you will work in the guard's residence on the east side, and the nanny over there will arrange work for you." Nanny Liao ordered while looking at Dongfang Qi, who came back to her senses after a long while.
After all, she is a princess from a foreign country, and she cannot be expected to work. Placing her there is nothing more than ensuring her safety. There is enough power in the guard residence at all times to ensure that Dongfang Qi will not be assassinated.
Although Dongfang Qi was not happy, she tried her best to persuade Nanny Liao to change her job, so she could only suppress her temper and agree for the time being.
At this time, the invitations from the palace had been sent to various palaces in the capital. Not long after breakfast, the young ladies from each palace came to the palace one after another, riding horses and carriages.
.
Among the young men who entered the mansion, there was a young man in Xuanshan, about twenty years old, who was particularly pitiful.
His eyebrows are flying into his temples, his eyes are like cold stars, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is tall and handsome, standing out among all the young men, making him very eye-catching.
He is Duan Jue, the second young master of the Zhenbei Houfu.
As soon as Duan Jue appeared, he attracted the attention of countless ladies. Among them, Miss Yang from the Minister of Etiquette's House had particularly resentful eyes.
Miss Yang is tall, has willowy eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and her appearance is beautiful and dignified, making her look like a lady.
When Duan Jue didn't look at her, her eyes fell on Duan Jue, and there seemed to be a thousand things she couldn't say.
But when Duan Jue cast his eyes on her, she quietly moved away, pursed her lips and remained silent.
After Duan Jue glanced at Miss Yang for a few times, he walked towards her as if he wanted to tell her something, but Miss Yang pretended not to notice and hurriedly left with the other ladies.
