Back in the capital, Feng Junhan and Ning Ning Wan still went their separate ways. The scene in Jiangnan seemed to have never happened. However, Feng Junhan didn't know if it was because Ning Jing Wan had helped him in Jiangnan.
For some reason, Ning Jing Wan is no longer watched so closely, and Ning Jing Wan finally feels a little relieved!
Although Leng Yue still followed her covertly and covertly, she no longer restricted her freedom!
Seeing that the prince came back with the princess, the women in the palace whispered, what happened to the prince? He actually looked seriously at this businessman's daughter who had always looked down upon him?
Mu Xueyan already knew from her aunt and the Queen the reason for the conflict between the prince and Ning Jingwan some time ago. She really didn't expect that Ning Jingwan actually wanted to leave Prince Jing's Mansion and let the prince divorce her? And the prince actually
Refuse!
The longer a woman like Ning Jing Wan stays in the house, the greater the threat to her. But who knows that Ning Jing Wan is not a woman from an ordinary family? Who says that behind her is Jinxiu Villa? Even her Mu family has
I’ve had the idea of Tranquility Wan!
Her brother almost married Ning Jing Wan, and Ning Jing Wan almost became her sister-in-law! Although she despised Ning Jing Wan in her heart, she just wanted to consider the huge wealth. What's more, how many women can her brother marry? Ning Jing Wan
It’s just a title!
Mu Xueyuan had a headache thinking about it. She heard from her aunt that the emperor had said that Prince Jing was not allowed to divorce his wife. Doesn't that mean that Ning Jingwan would be Princess Jing for the rest of her life, and she would have to be subordinate to her and be a concubine for the rest of her life?
"Sister Mu, don't worry, there will always be a way!" Li Xianghui said.
Mu Xueyan calmed down and looked at the woman sitting next to her, Li Xianghui, the daughter of Li Yushi, who entered Prince Jing's Mansion half a year earlier than she did. She is beautiful and smart, with exquisite orifices!
After Mu Xueyuan entered Prince Jing's Mansion and became a concubine, Li Xianghui did not rush over like other women to curry favor with this woman of noble birth and powerful background. Instead, she watched with cold eyes and weighed in secret.
Mu Xueyan treated these women who came to curry favor with her with courtesy on the surface, calling her sisters affectionate, but in her heart she was filled with contempt. In fact, this Prince Jing's Mansion was just like the palace, they were not from a high enough background, were not strong enough in the background, and were not beautiful enough in appearance.
, of course all need to know a strong backer.
Even if she is unparalleled in beauty, without a backing or a backer, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Prince Jing's Mansion. The fight between women is not a fight between men at all!
And she, Mu Xueyan, became the most popular supporter. During that time, concubines from all over the world sent all kinds of strange gifts and piled up, just to seek her protection in the future in Prince Jing's Mansion.
For example, Zhao Bixuan, who had been taught a lesson by Ning Jing Wan some time ago, was the most enthusiastic in fawning over Mu Xueyuan. She was the elder sister before the elder sister. Mu Xueyuan knew that Zhao Bixuan was the daughter of Zhao Changshi and should have been thoughtful, but Zhao Bixuan relied on her beautiful appearance.
She often accepted favors, but instead became arrogant and domineering, causing other concubines to criticize her privately.
Zhao Bixuan herself was completely unaware of it, but although Zhao Bixuan was absolutely arrogant and indifferent towards other women, she still showed absolute respect and respect for Mu Xueyuan!
Therefore, Mu Xueyuan turned a blind eye to Zhao Bixuan. Use this chess piece when you need it, and put it aside when you don't need it. It won't cost you anything anyway!
And Li Xianghui is always neither humble nor arrogant, and impartial. She is not envious when someone is favored, and she does not add insult to injury when someone falls out of favor. Li Xianghui is secretly observing Mu Xueyuan, and Mu Xueyuan is also secretly observing Li Xianghui.
Finally, Mu Xueyuan fell in love with Li Xianghui. Such a tolerant and quiet woman was the helper she wanted in Prince Jing's Mansion, not a brainless woman like Zhao Bixuan!
Over time, Li Xianghui became Mu Xueyuan's military advisor and staff, planning step by step to make Mu Xueyuan move towards the legitimate Princess Jing!
And because of Mu Xueyan's relationship, Li Xianghui's status in the government has been unprecedentedly improved. Her family has even received the care of the Mu family. The Mu family can be said to be the first family in Fenglin. Who can get the care of the Mu family?
Not looking sideways?
However, Li Xianghui understands the principle of not being arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat, and remains as low-key as ever, which makes Mu Xueyuan very satisfied.
When Ning Jing Wan became Princess Jing's wife, Mu Xueyuan was of course anxious, but Li Xianghui suggested that she should not be impatient and just wait and see what happens. Maybe Prince Jing couldn't stand Ning Jing Wan himself and might kick Ning Jing Wan out. They could just sit back and take it.
Why fishermen need to mess up their position when they are profiting from it?
She followed Li Xianghui's idea. What Xianghui said made sense. How could a man stand Tranquility Wan? What's more, it was the noble Prince Jing!
When Ning Ningwan arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, she was as unruly and willful as the legend said, and her heart gradually relaxed.
But later on, things seemed to gradually deviate from the track designed by her and Xiang Hui, and Prince Jing and Ning Jingwan gradually no longer hated each other as much as before.
Mu Xueyuan is a sensitive woman. She can not care about which of the concubines in the house is favored by the prince, but she cannot help but care about whether the only woman above her can be favored by the prince.
If one day, the prince tells her that Ning Jing Wan is the legitimate mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion, then wouldn't she have to give up her power obediently and live a life of humiliation under Ning Jing Wan's hands?
Just like those concubines under her, Mu Xueyan, no matter how favored the concubines are, they can never surpass their master!
What's more, Prince Jing doesn't pay much attention to women, so it's hard for any woman to be favored!
Of course Li Xianghui knew about Sister Mu's panic. If the prince really fell in love with Ning Jingwan, wouldn't Sister Mu's position be in jeopardy?
"Sister, don't worry too much. After all, Jingjing Wan comes from a merchant family. This is something she can never surpass!" Li Xianghui comforted him. The prince is a member of the royal family and has a strict hierarchy. How can he not have any respect for the family?
Mu Xueyan sighed: "Even so, I always feel uneasy in my heart!"
Li Xianghui said: "Sister, Ning Jingwan is full of problems. It's too easy to do something to her!" Before, they had been waiting to reap the benefits.
Now that the situation has changed, Sister Mu can no longer hold back and can consider taking action. Her and Sister Mu's fates are one, and they both prosper and suffer. This is something she knows very well.
Mu Xueyan asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Li Xianghui smiled and said, "Sister, you have forgotten, I heard that Ning Jingwan used to go to that place called Ruyi Gambling House!"
Mu Xueyan understood that although not many people knew about this matter, as long as they were willing to find out, it was not a secret. The relationship between Ning Jingwan and the boss of Ruyi Gambling House was extraordinary!
As a prince, the woman has an unclear relationship with those despicable untouchables. Based on this alone, the prince cannot spare her!
"But..." Mu Xueyan said hesitantly: "As far as I know, the prince is not unaware of this matter!" Otherwise, why would the prince send someone to keep an eye on Jing Jingwan? Shouldn't she be prohibited from doing anything immoral?
Li Xianghui smiled, "It's best to do this without leaving any trace, as long as my sister often mentions it in front of the prince inadvertently!"
Mu Xueyuan suddenly realized that the prince knew about this matter but did nothing. It did not mean that the prince could bear this tone. If she often went to the prince and mentioned it accidentally, she would not believe that the prince could remain indifferent? This was a violation of the prince's dignity as a noble man.
Ignore!
Li Xianghui reminded again: "Sister, don't forget that Ning Jingwan's life experience is also a big issue!"
Mu Xueyuan nodded lightly, "Jiang Xinyue will also be our helper in this matter!" Of course she could see Jiang Xinyue's admiration for Prince Jing, but she didn't believe it.
What good impression does Tranquility Wan have? This point can be used to her advantage!
As for Jiang Xinyue, we can talk about it later. These women who are hindering his future should be dealt with slowly one by one!
★★★
Feng Changhuan was in a good mood today. After going to court, he came to the Second Emperor's house and asked, "Iron Rooster, does the promise you promised me last time still count?"
Linlang frowned, the Fourth Highness actually called the young lady Iron Rooster? What an unpleasant name, but the young lady was not unhappy at all. The Fourth Highness called her Iron Rooster, she seemed to be calling her by her maiden name!
Ning Jing Wan was pruning a pot of flowers with scissors in her hands, and said calmly: "Let's wait until I'm done with being arty!"
Feng Changhuan couldn't help laughing and shrugged, "Okay!"
He generously sat down on the empty chair next to Jingjing Wan, admiring Jingjing Wan's graceful posture as if nothing had happened!
As if there was no one else around, Feng Changhuan could actually read a trace of elegance and calmness in his expression.
He shook his head, how could it be possible? That's an iron rooster that doesn't plucking a hair!
As he shook his head, Ning Jing Wan had already stood up and threw the scissors in her hand to Lin Lang. Feng Changhuan looked at it and saw that a potted flower with a graceful posture had become graceful, enchanting and dazzling!
He was fascinated to see that Ning Jing Wan was already at his side, "Still not leaving yet!"
He reacted, "Iron Rooster, where did you learn this?"
Jingjing Wan smiled and said: "I used scissors to cut randomly. If you are interested, you can also cut it!"
Feng Chang laughed out loud, "Let's go, my carriage is ready!"
Jingjing Wan raised her eyes to look at him and asked, knowingly: "Which place do you want to go to?"
There was a wicked smile in his eyes, "If you want to go, of course you have to go to the biggest one in the capital!"
Jingjing Wan pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Okay, I don't think other places are worthy of your noble status!"
Feng Changhuan was at a loss for words. He was very interested in gambling, so he secretly hid it from his second and third brothers and asked Ning Jingwan to take him out to try his luck!
He is a prince and has grown up in the palace. The palace rules are strict. How could he be allowed to see such unfashionable things?
But he couldn't bear to be curious, and he heard that Ning Jing Wan was good at eating, drinking, and having fun, which must be very interesting. Today, he was curious and selfish. Isn't Jing Jing Wan's sweetheart Ling Moyan, the owner of Ruyi Gambling House? He can also borrow
This is an opportunity to find out the extent of their relationship!
"Sister Princess, are you leaving the house?" A gentle female voice came from behind the two of them.
Ning Jingwan and Feng Changhuan turned around at the same time, dressed in red, charming and graceful, with light plum blossom makeup on their elegant jade faces. Mu Xueyuan came in style, with several concubines and several maids behind her!
Jingjing Wan said: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Mu Xueyan was briefly stunned when she saw that His Highness Fourth Highness was actually with Ning Jing Wan. Of course she knew that Ning Jing Wan and His Highness Fourth Highness had never been on good terms, but she quickly smiled and said, "Sister, Your Highness Fourth Highness, where are you going?
?”
Feng Changhuan nodded slightly, "The Second Emperor's Wife is going out, Your Highness is on her way!" There was a touch of pride in her words, and she seemed unwilling to say more.
Ning Jingwan couldn't help but smile, Feng Changhuan was really Feng Changhuan, with all the joy and anger written on his face. He didn't have the palace of his two brothers, but he was still as domineering and handsome!
Of course Mu Xueyan understood the perfunctory meaning in the words of His Highness the Fourth. One of them was Princess Jing and the other was His Highness the Fourth. If they didn't want to say that she was just a concubine, what could they do?
He immediately smiled gently and said: "In that case, I won't delay any more!"
Feng Changhuan nodded to Ning Jing Wan, and Ning Jing Wan understood. After leaving the house, Leng Yue still stayed close to Ning Jing Wan, but no longer blocked Ning Jing Wan from going anywhere. No matter where Ning Jing Wan went, he would always be like a shadow behind him.
Follow.
As time passed, Ning Jingwan began to treat him as if he didn't exist. As long as it didn't hinder his whereabouts, he would follow him wherever he liked!
★★★
"It's strange, why did the princess go out with the Fourth Highness?" Concubine Zhu Qian looked at the two people leaving and said in a low voice.
Mu Xueyan said: "Didn't you hear what the Fourth Highness just said? The princess is going out, and the Fourth Highness is stopping by!" But she didn't think so in her heart.
"Yes!" Zhu Qian lowered her head!
Mu Xueyan said: "Let's all go down!" Her eyes drifted past Li Xianghui, and she met Li Xianghui's eyes, and nodded slightly!
Li Xianghui understood and smiled, indicating that she understood that Ning Jingwan was the sister-in-law of His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness. She didn't know how to avoid taboos. Who knew what might happen outside? It was serious to send someone to keep an eye on her!
★★★
Prince Jing's Mansion is a long way from Ruyi Gambling House in the south of the city. Along the way, Feng Changhuan was bored and had nothing to say. He talked to Jing Jingwan, "Iron Rooster, it seems that Mu Xueyuan doesn't take you seriously?"
Although he is straightforward, he is not stupid. Mu Xueyuan is a concubine and wears bright red dresses openly. Bright red is a color that only wives and legitimate daughters can wear. However, everyone is used to it when Mu Xueyuan wears it. No one
I think it’s unreasonable!
But when Feng Changhuan saw Mu Xueyan dressed in arrogant red, she suddenly felt it was very dazzling and couldn't help but speak out.
Jingjing Wan smiled indifferently, as if the spring breeze was blowing over the water, charming and soft, "Have you ever taken me seriously? And you are talking about others!"
On the second day after her wedding, Mu Xueyuan openly wore a red palace dress, so what? She is not that boring. Of course, the most important thing is that she is the future heir of Jinxiu Villa and does not have much time and energy to spend on this.
In the middle of a meaningless fight between women.
Why should we care about these external things? Mu Xueyan just wants to tell others that she is the real mistress of the palace, not herself!
Feng Changhuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, I forgot about it!"
Jingjing Wan looked out the window and stopped talking.
When they arrived at Ruyi Gambling House, Jingjing Wan remembered that she hadn't seen Mo Yan for a long time. This man who had grown up with her, Feng Changhuan specifically mentioned that he wanted to come to Ruyi Gambling House today, and his intention was obvious.
Jingjing Wan pretended not to notice, "We're here, Fourth Master!"
Feng Changhuan raised his handsome eyebrows. He liked the name Fourth Master. When he got here, he couldn't call him His Highness Fourth Highness!
The place was still as crowded as before. Ning Jingwan and Feng Changhuan walked through the crowd. When the manager saw Miss Ning, whom he had not seen for a long time, he came. There was also a noble man with luxurious clothes and noble temperament beside him. He was smiling all over his face, "Miss Ning."
, it’s been a long time since you’ve been here!”
Jingjing Wan nodded slightly, smiling and saying nothing.
The steward looked at the young master next to Jing Jing Wan, who was either rich or noble, and hurriedly said, "Is this gentleman here with Miss Ning?"
Feng Changhuan heard the steward call Miss Ning, and the shouts were particularly harsh. Miss Ning was already Princess Jing, but she didn't show it. In such a mixed place, even he kept his name anonymous. Ning Jingwan couldn't say that she was
It must be Princess Jing!
A vaguely arrogant smile appeared on the corner of Feng Changhuan's lips. He knew countless people in management and had the most vicious eyes. He could tell at a glance that he was probably someone with high authority. He hurriedly said respectfully: "Miss Ning and this young master, please
Come with me to the private room!"
It is impossible for such a person to come to a place like these people to gamble and enjoy themselves!
Jing Jingwan asked: "Is the young master here?"
The steward said: "The young master came back some time ago and happened to be here!"
Jing Jingwan said: "Then let's go directly to the young master. You can go about your business!"
"Hey, Miss Ning, please excuse me, sir!" the steward bowed.
Ning Jingwan winked at Feng Changhuan and walked up to the second floor with ease. Feng Changhuan whispered: "You are really familiar with the road!"
Jingjing Wan smiled lightly, "Aren't you the one who wanted to come here?"
Feng Changhuan never expected that such a place with three religions and nine schools of thought would be so elegantly decorated. It was a world away from the first floor. Looking at the layout alone, he would never have imagined that this place was actually a gambling room!
Ning Jingwan knew what Feng Changhuan was thinking, "I can't believe it!"
Feng Changhuan nodded. He really didn't expect it. Just looking at the layout, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a literary garden.
Jing Jingwan said: "It's nothing, it's just arty as you said!"
Feng Chang laughed out loud, and walked through the long corridor with Jing Jingwan and arrived at the top room.
Jingjing Wan raised her slender hand and knocked on the door gently, "Mo Yan!"
There was a brief silence inside, and Jingjing Wan knew he was there, "I brought a friend here today!"
"Come in!" A calm male voice finally came from inside.
Jing Jingwan opened the door, Mo Yan's back was turned to her, and all he could see was his upright back, "Mo Yan, this is the Fourth Master!"
Ling Moyan turned around, smiled slightly at Jingwan, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and said to Feng Changhuan, "Nice to meet you!"
Of course he knew this arrogant and arrogant man as His Royal Highness Feng Changhuan, but since Jingwan was pretending to be confused, he naturally followed suit and pretended not to know her!
Feng Changhuan saw clearly what Ning Jingwan's sweetheart looked like. He had a pair of dark eyes, a handsome appearance, and a tall and straight figure. At first glance, he couldn't tell that he was actually the boss of a gambling house!
Ling Moyan saw Feng Changhuan looking at him and said calmly, "Jingwan, are you bringing Fourth Master here to try your luck today?"
Jingjing Wan nodded, "Yes, Mo Yan, you won't let us down, right?"
Ling Moyan smiled and said: "Of course!"
Feng Changhuan looked at the familiarity between Ning Jingwan and Ling Moyan, and suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. What this feeling was, he couldn't tell!
