When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.

Jiang Yunchu silently gave Ningguang a thumbs up on the other side, drinking tea with an expressionless face, as if the thumbs up was not hers.

Kang Mengxian was tall, taller than both of them, so he could naturally see Jiang Yunchu's movements clearly.

But he said nothing, and calmly said, "Old Ningguang, it's been so many years, and you're still plotting against me!"

"If I hadn't come to the palace, I wouldn't have set foot here today."

He came here uninvited today, which means he has already made his choice.

Jiang Yunchu paused while drinking tea, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he revealed a confused smile.

Looks ignorant and innocent.

But Kang Mengxian was not someone who could be easily deceived, especially his eldest son and daughter-in-law, who told him everything that happened in the palace.

Especially the life and death contract, and the two semesters a year system.

He naturally saw that his granddaughter wanted to achieve something bigger.

"You all get out."

Kang Mengxian looked at the people behind him. Actually, there were not many people, only Zi Su and a young gentleman.

only……

Neither of these two people is from the Kang family.

Jiang Yunchu raised his hand, and Zi Su bowed slightly, "I'll wait outside."

The young gentleman stepped back slightly and went to the study.

For this study, Jiang Yunchu specially broke through two walls, combining three rooms into one, and asked the carpenter to build a large bookshelf with a total of five layers. He also asked the young teachers to organize the categories and put the categories on each shelf.

With this arrangement, the study is bright, easy to find books, and convenient for many things.

Ningguang was envious and specially bought a small bookshelf in her bedroom, which was organized completely like a study.

"You have set up such a big stall, what are you planning to do?" Kang Mengxian looked at his granddaughter. Although he had been mentally prepared and the family was always updating her portrait, how could the person in the painting be compared with the real person?

Seeing is believing.

This person looked exactly like Yingying. When he saw her for the first time, he was stunned for a moment.

No matter what others say, it is better to take a look yourself.

Jiang Yunchu drank a cup of tea and looked at his grandfather when he put the cup down.

"Huh? Wasn't it Grandfather who suggested it?"

She had a faint smile on her palm-sized face, her eyes curved into crescents. She didn't look like a princess in charge, but rather like a naughty child.

"Me?" Kang Mengxian laughed heartily.

His entire aura suddenly changed. He no longer looked like a weak scholar, nor did he look like the Prime Minister who had served for more than thirty years.

He is the pillar of the Kang family, Ningguang's old friend, and Jiang Yunchu's grandfather.

"Tell me."

After the laughter died down, Kang Mengxian picked up the teacup and looked at Jiang Yunchu.

"It was you who decided to let the Kang family's children come to the palace, right?"

"It was you who specially marked the identity of Ningguang Master, as well as the address and initiation gift for Ningguang Master."

"It was you who arranged all this step by step."

Jiang Yunchu smiled. She had not been so sure before, but this time, her grandfather came himself.

that……

And she was sure that her previous guesses were correct.

"so……"

"What does grandpa think? He has been setting up this situation for so long, there should be an answer by now."

For a moment, her confident and arrogant attitude stunned both Ningguang and Kang Mengxian.

this person!

His name is Jiang Yunchu!

In their impression, she was no longer just Kang Ying's daughter, the granddaughter of the Kang family, or the princess of the Regent's Palace.

She is just her.

Jiang Yunchu!

Kang Mengxian and Ningguang were stunned for just a moment, looked at each other, and then looked away.

They were scholars of the same period as Qingfeng, and were also close friends. They could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

"Since Yun Chu is so smart, why don't you continue to guess." Kang Mengxian wanted to see how much she could guess.

Jiang Yunchu lowered her head, looking helpless. In her previous life, although she had good grades and always ranked among the top, but...

She doesn't like exams!

"Whose eyes have I offended, me or the palace?"

"A little bit of both."

Jiang Yunchu thought about it. The Cao family has always been a flea in the open, but there are many bedbugs in secret. The people who are stuffed into the palace one by one, aren’t they the best proof?

As for herself...

"I..., is this the reason why the Kang family hasn't contacted me for so many years?"

When Jiang Yunchu was guessing, he also asked the questions in his heart.

From the last time her uncle and aunt came to everything arranged by her grandfather, it would be unreasonable to say that the Kang family didn't care about her.

But I care about her.

For eighteen years, I didn't care about it and never cared that much.

There must be a reason. She guessed it all the way back from Ningguang Peak, but in the end there was no answer.

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of applause came from the seat next to him.

Jiang Yunchu saw her grandfather with an admiring look on his face. She knew that she had guessed a lot correctly, but the questions in her heart still had no answers.

"You are smart, but you are too smart." An ambiguous sentence.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "Smart, isn't that good?"

The way Kang Mengxian looked at her was very unique and strange. It didn't seem like he was looking at her. Instead, he was looking past her and looking at someone else.

She knew that the person she was looking at was Kang Ying, her mother.

"Being smart is good, but you are too smart. You have surpassed your mother."

"Kid, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme!"

His voice was a little heavy, and even everyone in Ningguang silently drank two cups of tea to calm themselves.

I'm afraid this matter involves my mother.

Otherwise the atmosphere wouldn't suddenly become so heavy.

"In my life, I have accepted three students. The eldest disciple is the current emperor, the second disciple is the general, and the third disciple is your mother, Yingmei Zanhua."

"When your mother went up the mountain to become a disciple, she brought with her a pair of straw sandals, a bottle of hemostatic medicine, a piece of pork, a pound of rice wine, an ounce of silver, a straw mat, a pot of mountain spring water, and... a dish of peach blossom cake."

"but……"

"Your cooking skills are much better than Yingying's."

Thinking of the dry, unripe peach blossom cake made by the third apprentice, she can still remember the taste. It's obvious how bad it tasted!

"So, when I gave you the entry gift, you knew it was me?"

It turned out to be like this...

She said, how could there be such a strange initiation gift, and she thought that everyone like Ningguang had some unique hobby.

did not expect……

It’s my mother, who has unique hobbies!

I really want to know, what was she thinking at that time?

"Yes, this kind of initiation ceremony is rare in the world. The only people who know about it are the eldest and second disciples, but..."

They were all busy, and with their status, they couldn't go to Ningguangding.

They also knew that this initiation ceremony was a knot in her heart, a knot that she would never be able to untie in her lifetime.
