I am Yuan Niaoniao

Ever since Han Haotian learned that there was a special relationship between Wu Shijie and Wu Jingxin, he thought to himself: "If I can win over this person, it will be of great benefit to me!" So he sent Qingfeng to Wu State without hesitation to establish contact with Wu Shijie.

After receiving the order, Qingfeng set out on his journey without stopping, crossing mountains and ridges, sleeping in the open air. After a long and arduous journey, he finally arrived in the territory of Wu State and began to inquire about Wu Shijie's whereabouts.

Hard work pays off, and after many twists and turns, they finally found Wu Shijie himself. However, it is not easy to make such a person willingly come to Dadu. Qingfeng relied on his extraordinary wisdom and eloquence to persuade him with righteousness and emotion, and explained in detail that he was inviting him to Dadu on behalf of Han Haotian, and mentioned Wu Jingxin intentionally or unintentionally.

Finally, Wu Shijie was persuaded by Qingfeng to go to Dadu to meet Han Haotian. In fact, he also had selfish motives. He hadn't seen Wu Jingxin for a long time, and he couldn't bear the longing.

.....................

"Wu Shijie is here." Chen Shaoyi said to Yuan Niao Niao.

"Han Haotian is indeed quick and efficient. He actually managed to invite Wu Shijie here. But will Qingxin be discovered by him?" Yuan Niaoniao was a little worried. After all, Qingxin was not completely aware of how familiar the two of them were.

"I've been thinking about this, too." Chen Shaoyi also knew that Qingxin might not be able to hide the truth from Wu Shijie. "For the time being, he can't run into Qingxin. During this period of time, Qingxin has been trying to get her personal maid Sang Xin to tell her stories in order to be more like Wu Jingxin."

"Although Wu Shijie was invited, the King of Wu may not be happy for them to meet so openly. So even if they meet, it is not a problem. The solution to the problem is that every time they meet, there must be outsiders present. Then there will be no space for them to be alone, and it will not be convenient for them to recognize each other. But Qingxin should be notified first so that she can react according to circumstances. If she is found out, she must retreat safely." Yuan Niaoniao analyzed seriously.

"I have informed Qingxin." Chen Shaoyi nodded slightly to show his agreement. He knew that in this world full of crises and challenges, survival was the most important thing. As elites trained by the Underworld, they all understood one thing: only after ensuring their own safety could they talk about revenge.

"Yeah, that's right." Yuan Niaoniao agreed, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She thought of You Jiaxin, the close friend who had been with her throughout her growth. "By the way, speaking of Mingge, I just wanted to go over and see Jiaxin." Yuan Niaoniao seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Jiaxin was a good friend she met in Mingge, and the two had a deep friendship.

Chen Shaoyi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." After that, he stood up with elegant and neat movements.

Yuan Niaoniao also stood up, and the two walked out the door side by side. Their steps were light and steady, as if they were already used to this way of moving. Along the way, Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao did not say much, but holding hands and their tacit understanding made them look particularly harmonious.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Mingge. The magnificent building came into view, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling. Chen Shaoyi gently pushed open the door and led Yuan Niao Niao into it.

After entering the Dark Pavilion, a familiar atmosphere hit her face. Yuan Niao Niao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When Jiaxin saw her, Zhaozhao was probably being taught by the teacher, while Gong Jiaxin was sitting in the yard in a daze. When she looked up, she saw Yuan Niao Niao and stood up excitedly: "Niao Niao."

"Jiaxin!" Seeing Gong Jiaxin like this, I knew she was bored again. Yes, she stayed in the Dark Pavilion every day.

After chatting with Gong Jiaxin for a while, Yuan Niaoniao thought for a while and said, "Han Haotian should relax his pursuit of you now. Maybe you are bored and can go back to Jishiditang to help."

"Is it okay?" A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Gong Jiaxin's eyes. She would really rather go back to Jishidiang to help than stay there doing nothing all day.

"Of course, you can also ask Dongxue and Mingxiao to go out with you." Yuan Niaoniao thought for a moment and continued, "Mingchen is also fine. They are both quite free recently, so it's a good opportunity for you to go out and relax together."

Hearing this suggestion, Gong Jiaxin was somewhat moved. She knew that Dongxue and Mingchen were both easy to get along with, and it would be fun to be with them.

"Okay! Then I'll go find them later." Gong Jiaxin said happily.

Yuan Niaoniao looked at her happy face and laughed too. She hoped that Gong Jiaxin could live happily and no longer be troubled by the past.

On the other hand, although Han Haotian relaxed his pursuit of Gong Jiaxin on the surface, he actually did not completely let go of his doubts. He always felt that Gong Jiaxin was hiding some secrets, but he could not find evidence for the time being.

However, Gong Jiaxin had already put these worries behind her. She was enjoying this wonderful time and was in a very good mood.

"By the way, Wen Zili is still in Dadu!" Yuan Niaoniao thought for a moment and said, "He seems to have become a retainer of Prince Yi."

"......This guy, is it because of me?" Gong Jiaxin lowered her head with some self-blame.

"Don't worry, I told you this to make sure of your feelings. If you don't have any feelings for him, then if he joins forces with Prince Yi to stand against me, I can deal with him without any scruples." Yuan Niaoniao held Gong Jiaxin's hand.

"Niu Niu!" Hearing this, Gong Jiaxin raised her head firmly: "From the beginning to the end, I only thought of him as a good person, and I didn't have any love for him, so if he wants to be your enemy! Just beat him to death! Don't consider my feelings, I don't care!" If you are the enemy of Niu Niu, you are my enemy! There is no need to hesitate. If I don't beat him to death, he is lucky!

"Haha, okay, then I know what to do!" He couldn't help laughing at Gong Jiaxin's firm and slightly funny words.

"We have to be on guard against Prince Yi. There's no guarantee that he won't stop at nothing to reveal my existence. If that's the case, you'll have to divert your attention to protect me. I think it's best for me to stay in Mingge. At least I won't cause you any trouble." Gong Jiaxin said after thinking for a while.

"It's up to you. If you want, ask Mingchen to take you out. I feel more at ease with him around." Yuan Niaoniao put a hand on Gong Jiaxin's shoulder, "I have already regarded you as a family member. Family members are not afraid of trouble. Just ask Mingchen to take you out for a walk."

"Thank you, Niaoniao." Gong Jiaxin was deeply touched when she heard this, because Yuan Niaoniao was not just talking, she really treated her like family.

.............................

"Prince, the eldest prince has gone to the villa to rest and we can meet tomorrow. Should we inform the princess?" Qingfeng settled Wu Shijie and rushed back to the prince's mansion without stopping to report the situation to Han Haotian.

Han Haotian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "Notify her. After all, we were able to invite people here smoothly this time, thanks to her name." Han Haotian still admired Qingfeng's ability to do things, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that the other party will always be loyal. Not to mention that the last incident has already caused separation. Thinking of this, Han Haotian couldn't help but sigh softly. At the moment, he couldn't find a more reliable person for a while.

"Yes, Prince." Qingfeng knew that he had a heavy responsibility and must not let the prince down. He bowed respectfully, then turned and left, quickly heading to the west wing to convey the news to the princess.

The next morning, the sun shone in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, and there was peace and tranquility. Han Haotian had already gotten up. After washing up, he changed into a plain long gown, looking particularly handsome and unrestrained. He stood quietly in front of the window, staring into the distance, as if thinking about something important.

"Let's go." He came to his senses and pushed the door open, taking Qingfeng with him to pick up Qingxin and go to the villa together.

Qingxin was a little nervous. Today, she brought Sang Xin with her. She usually brought Xiaoqin with her before. If anything went wrong today, maybe Sang Xin could help. After all, she had to face Wu Shijie today.

When they walked into the courtyard, they saw Wu Shijie standing with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long time, staring at them with sharp eyes. Han Haotian smiled and walked forward, bowed and said, "Grand Prince."

Qingxin also stepped forward and said, "Royal brother." Although she called him "Royal brother", she looked at Wu Shijie meaningfully and nodded slightly.

Wu Shijie nodded to Wu Jingxin and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness." After the greetings, everyone sat down.

Han Haotian looked at Wu Shijie and said, "Your Highness, you have come a long way and must have worked hard on the journey." After saying that, he stood up, picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the glass in front of Wu Shijie.

"I invited you here this time, firstly, to let you witness the wedding of this prince and Jingxin, and secondly, I want to discuss some cooperation with you." Han Haotian said straight to the point.

Wu Shijie picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Han Haotian's, and said with a smile: "Cooperation? I'd like to hear the details."

"The situation in the court is complicated now, and various forces are constantly fighting. As the crown prince, I naturally hope to contribute to the stability of the country. And as the eldest prince of Wu State, you must have the same idea." Han Haotian said slowly.

Wu Shijie nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Han Haotian continued, "I am happily married to Jingxin, so Dadu and Wuguo are now one family. We should help and support each other."

Wu Shijie pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder what kind of help Prince Han wants me to give you?"

"The eldest prince is indeed a straightforward person!" Han Haotian raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He knew very well that sometimes he didn't need to be too straightforward when speaking, and it was wise enough to stop at the right point.

"We can talk about our sincere cooperation later. However, since we are fortunate to be together today, why not put aside business for a while and talk about the old times? You see, Jingxin has been watching us talking silently without being able to interrupt us. I'm afraid he must have felt bored, right? Right, Jingxin?"

As soon as the voice fell, Qingxin reacted quickly and quickly imitated Wu Jingxin's usual appearance, and said to Wu Shijie coquettishly: "Royal brother, you are only concerned with chatting with the prince, but you have completely forgotten that the poor imperial sister is hungry. It's really boring!" Fortunately, Sang Xin mentioned that Wu Jingxin especially likes to act coquettishly and cutely to Wu Shijie. So Qingxin learned and acted on the spot.

Wu Shijie was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, it was my brother who was careless and forgot about this matter! Good, good! Let's not talk about official business today, filling our stomachs is the most urgent thing!" After that, another round of hearty laughter echoed in the air. "Come on, my sister loves this dish," he stood up and lovingly picked up some food for Wu Jingxin.

"Thank you, brother." Qingxin took the dish cooperatively and picked up the food in the bowl gracefully and started eating.

Han Haotian also took great care of Wu Jingxin. Apart from picking up dishes and pouring tea, he took care of her in every possible way. He cared about her more than the maid next to her, and Wu Shijie also noticed it.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wu Shijie looked at Han Haotian and said, "About what we just talked about, come over some other day and we can talk about it in detail." He had a good impression of Han Haotian this time, so he spoke first to express his intention.

Han Haotian was not in a hurry, "Okay, then come visit the eldest prince another day."

Wu Shijie turned to look at Qingxin, "Xin'er, is everything okay in Dadu?"

Qingxin nodded slightly, "Everything is fine, don't worry, brother."

Wu Shijie sighed, "Alas, you have not been by my side since you were a child. Now you have grown up and are about to get married."

Qingxin held Wu Shijie's hand and said, "Brother, although I didn't grow up by your side, I will always remember your care and love for me."

Wu Shijie patted Qingxin's hand and said, "Well, as long as you are happy."

Han Haotian spoke at the right time, "Don't worry, Prince. I will definitely treat Qingxin well."

Wu Shijie nodded, "That's great."

After the banquet, Han Haotian and Qingxin left the courtyard. Wu Shijie watched them go to the door. Looking at their backs as they walked away, Wu Shijie felt mixed emotions. This time, he had to ask his father to come and witness Xin'er's wedding. If he could personally send Xin'er off to marry, this was something he had never dared to think about before. If Han Haotian really treats Xin'er well, then it would be fine for me to help him get what he wants.

In fact, Wu Shijie had roughly guessed Han Haotian's thoughts. Men are all for the supreme power. It doesn't matter if Xin'er also benefits.

…………

Qingxin heaved a sigh of relief when she returned to the West Chamber, thinking that Wu Shijie should not have noticed anything unusual about her.

"Princess, why are you lying down?" Sang Xin was a little confused when she came in and saw Qingxin lying on the bed.

"I'm just tired." Qingxin said casually.

"Then I'll help you change your clothes, and then massage you again." Sang Xin took out a set of casual clothes and placed them beside the bed. "If the prince waits too long, the princess will be scolded again."

Wu Shijie? Qingxin perked up immediately after hearing that. Did she miss some secret code just now? "What are you talking about? I'm tired and need to rest for a while."

"Princess? You can't fall asleep! Didn't the eldest prince just give you a hint at the banquet, asking you to meet him at midnight tonight?" Sang Xin gestured excitedly. If she forgot this, she would be scolded again!

"Of course I remember. I'm going to take a nap now. You can come back and call me later." Qingxin waved her hands pretending to be calm. It was a close call. She almost made a mistake. Fortunately, she brought Sangxin with her tonight. But what should she do when they meet later?

"Okay, Princess, please take a rest first. I'll come in and call you later." Sang Xin bowed and pushed the door open.

After Sang Xin closed the door, Qing Xin immediately sat up. She was going to meet Wu Shijie alone later, and it was easy for something to go wrong. What should she do? She sighed, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
