Lin Jianyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him: "Yun Jing, Yun Jing!"

Fu Yunjing paused for a moment and continued walking forward.

Lin Jianyue felt panic in her heart and trotted to his side, tightly grasping his arm. Looking at his handsome profile, which was filled with a hint of coldness, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat for a moment.

Fu Yunjing did not shake off Lin Jianyue's hand, but silently sent her back to Yizhenyuan.

"I'm going to the academy. I'll be with you in the evening."

"Well, you must come then."

After watching Fu Yunjing leave, Lin Jianyue returned to the house with a gloomy face.

He Huan brought her a cup of tea and said, "Don't be upset, Auntie. We just entered the mansion, and it is important to gain a firm foothold first. We must not displease the prince at this time, otherwise it will give Qionghuayuan a chance."

Lin Jianyue sat down angrily, drank a cup of tea in big gulps, and said in a bad tone: "I know, but I just can't swallow this breath in my heart. Damn feudal society, kneeling is punished for no reason. Knees are free. It's simply inhumane."

Hehuan opened her mouth, but couldn't respond.

She often heard some inexplicable words from her master, which she could not understand.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the dark sky looks as if it has been stained with ink.

Fu Yunjing returned home in the night. Wen Feng, who was guarding the door, saw his master and hurried to greet him.

"The prince is back."

"Hmm?" Fu Yunjing glanced at Wen Feng and asked, "What's the matter?"

Could it be that there is something important that makes him ask his servant to guard the gate?

Fu Yunjing subconsciously thought of Lin Jianyue. Did his grandmother make things difficult for her after he left?

"Is it the moon's side..."

"No, no." Feng Wen shook his head quickly and said, "Mrs. Lin is very good. She is the princess of the county. She sent someone to deliver a jar of cold pond incense this afternoon and asked me to give it to you. I hope you can be at ease and not get angry with the old princess. I also asked me to convey a few words to you."

Fu Yunjing stared blankly at the jar of wine in Feng Wen's hand, feeling a warm current flowing in his heart.

There is a kind of touching feeling when someone cares about you when you encounter setbacks outside.

"What?" he asked in a muffled voice, his throat rolling.

Wen Feng: "The princess said that it's true that the prince loves Aunt Lin, but the princess is your biological sister, and she hopes you can consider her. The Xing'an Marquis's mansion is holding a banquet, and all the guests are noble ladies. Aunt Lin's identity is really inappropriate. Maybe she won't say anything at the time, but she's afraid that the wife of the Xing'an Marquis will be unhappy and embarrass the princess afterwards. Another reason is that she's afraid that Aunt Lin will be bullied by outsiders if she goes. How can the prince bear to let Aunt Lin suffer this grievance? There will be many opportunities to attend banquets in the future. The princess said that as long as there is a suitable banquet, she will ask the old princess for approval and bring Aunt Lin to attend."

"This time, I hope the prince will understand the princess."

Fu Yunjing listened quietly, and then nodded under Feng Wen's surprised gaze: "Yes, she is thoughtful."

kindness?

Did he hear it correctly?

Instead of getting angry and disliking the princess for meddling in his affairs, the prince agreed with what the princess said.

Isn't Aunt Lin the most important thing in all things? Why did she suddenly change her mind?

Wen Feng stared at Fu Yunjing in a daze, until the jar of wine in his hand was taken away by Fu Yunjing, then he came to his senses and followed him.

The evening breeze blew, Wen Feng carefully looked at Fu Yunjing, and began to mutter: "I think it is a great fortune for the prince to marry the princess. She is gentle, virtuous, considerate, and beautiful. She looks like a perfect match for the prince. The prince, who is a rare talent, should be matched with a fairy-like daughter like the princess."

Instead of a woman like Aunt Lin who acts like a devil from time to time and speaks and acts casually.

Wen Feng only dared to complain about this in his heart. If the prince knew his true thoughts about Aunt Lin, he would skin him alive.

Fu Yunjing silently glared at Wen Feng: "You talk too much."

"Ah!" He shut his mouth tactfully.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Zhiyin and Wen Shi took a carriage to the Xing'an Marquis Mansion.

At the gate of the Marquis's mansion, servants greeted the guests respectfully, but the sparse number of guests made it not really a lively place.

The two men got off the carriage one after another, entered the marquis's mansion amid the greetings of the servants, and were then led to the backyard by the maid.

The roses in the courtyard are in full bloom, their petals are gorgeous and exude a rich floral fragrance.

"The title of Marquis Xing'an has been inherited for three generations, and the current Marquis Ji is the third generation. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it will be demoted to earl. Now Marquis Ji holds an idle position in Shangsiyuan, and this job was obtained by asking your father for help." Wen held a white jade round fan in her hand, shaking it gently, and spoke to Gu Zhiyin in a low voice.

Gu Zhiyin listened very carefully. Although she had heard many things in her previous life, in this life, in the eyes of others, she was just the daughter of a small Hanlin tutor. She was in a different circle, so she didn't know much.

Moreover, the fact that Wen was willing to tell her all this just showed her recognition and care for herself.

"So, mother..." Gu Zhiyin blinked at Wen and whispered, "Is it because the Xing'an Marquis's son is so capable that father betrothed my eldest sister to him?"

Wen: "He is capable but people haven't seen it yet. This marriage was not initiated by your father. It was the princess who fell in love with Prince Ji."

She had never heard of this.

In her previous life, Gu Jinse would never come to tell me about private matters in the palace for no reason. Her relationship with the Fu family was very strained, so I guess Wen would not tell her about these things either.

Facing Gu Zhiyin's curious gaze, Wen Shi chuckled and explained, "Once during the Yuanxiao Lantern Festival, the princess went out for a walk, her silver was stolen and she got separated from her maid, and her way was blocked. At that time, Prince Ji saw injustice and helped the princess, sending her back to the palace safely. This help made the princess moved, and not long after, the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion came to propose marriage, and the princess asked the prince for his consent, and then we learned about what happened between the two."

"Although our palace is not as good as before, this Xing'an Marquis Mansion is really not good enough... We're here!" Wen said, and when she saw the main courtyard right in front of her, she stopped talking.

Gu Zhiyin quickly suppressed her curious look and showed a dignified and elegant smile.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor the Pingyang Prince's Mansion is, it is still a prince. The military merits earned by his father and brother are not as good as those of the others, but it is definitely more noble than the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion. To put it nicely, the Ji family is a marquis' mansion, but in the capital where there are so many dukes and marquises, it is really not good enough, not to mention that Marquis Ji is a mediocre and incompetent person.

In her previous life, after she became the mistress of a marquisate, she never heard of the Ji family of the Xing'an Marquisate again in the circle.

"Princess, Princess of the County, please!"

The maid leading the way made a gesture of invitation and stepped aside to let the two people enter the house.

When Fu Yunyao saw the two of them, she happily stood up to greet them: "Mother, Yinyin."

"Big sister." Gu Zhiyin called out with a smile.

The wife of the Marquis of Xing'an was sitting in the main seat. She stood up leisurely and said with a smile, "My mother-in-law is here. Come and sit down."

Everyone in the room stood up to greet him.
