After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

As soon as he broke into the room, the two people inside looked at him in surprise.

To be more precise, she was staring at him, as if she was doing something sneaky behind his back.

Yan Ji quickly changed her expression and glanced at Yuan Qing jokingly, "You little guard are really haunting!"

Emphasize the four words "lingering".

Yuan Yi gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to come here, no one will care, but don't teach her those things that are not presentable. Otherwise, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you!"

Yuan Qing was stunned. Yanji didn't teach her anything.

Yan Ji smiled even more seductively, her eyes flying around, "Oh, so you're talking about that incident a while ago!"

Yuan Qing asked: "Did you meet each other some time ago?"

Yuan Yi shook his head vigorously to deny it.

Yan Ji nodded calmly.

It's clear who is right.

One is guilty, the other is calm and composed.

"Why did he come to see you?" Yuan Qing chose to ask Yan Ji directly.

After all, the young guard's behavior was so abnormal that it was not certain that the truth could be extracted from him.

Yan Ji twisted her waist and sat down at the table, "Isn't it just those things?"

With Yanji's winking eyes, Yuan Qing immediately understood what those things were referring to.

Yuan Qing took a deep breath.

Birds of a feather flock together. It seems that Yuan Yi cannot be allowed to get too close to him in the future. What if he learns bad things?

……

At the annual prayer event, Yan Ji, who had just arrived at Pingjin Prefecture, was responsible for presenting flowers to the goddess.

There is a legend that has been circulating in Pingjin Prefecture since ancient times.

There lives a celestial being on the top of Mount Tianshan. She has been hiding in the mountains for a long time, but sometimes when she is bored, she will come to the human world for a walk.

That is the sixth day of June every year.

So people designated this day as the birthday of the goddess, which was also the day when the people of Pingjin Prefecture prayed to the goddess together.

The first requirement for the chosen woman is beauty, because the goddess herself is a beautiful person, and naturally she cannot bear to see anyone who is unsightly appearing in front of her.

Previously, a girl of ordinary appearance who presented flowers was recommended to pray for blessings. Unexpectedly, one month after the prayer, Tianshan Mountain suddenly shook.

People thought that it was the goddess who was angry, but because she was kind-hearted, she did not bring disaster to the world. She just lost her temper slightly in her own territory.

Later on, the rule was changed that only a stunningly beautiful woman could pray for blessings.

This year's event is held two months earlier than in previous years.

The answer given by Cangxianglou is: Yanji is the one chosen by the goddess, and offering flowers in advance will be more conducive to good weather and good harvests in Pingjin Prefecture throughout the year.

Although Ji Kang was not attracted by beauty, Yan Ji was so attractive that even Ji Kang, who usually liked to hide his head, could not help but put on a mask and attend the event.

As long as you are willing to show up, it's a good thing.

Yuan Qing and Yuan Yi went around to the back door of Ji's mansion to test it out.

Yuan Qing is in the light, Yuan Yi is in the dark.

Yuan Qing walked to the door with a basket and knocked. An old woman poked her head out stealthily and asked warily, "Who are you?"

Yuan Qing also had some internal strength, so he could clearly feel several unusual auras flashing by in the dark and then hiding again.

"I came from the countryside to bring some things to my second uncle in the city as requested by my parents."

Yuan Qing lowered his head and spoke timidly, not daring to look up.

She looks like a pure country girl who has never seen the world.

Perhaps Yuan Qing's performance was very realistic, the old woman's tone was not as serious as before, "Who is your second uncle?"

"My second uncle is called Li Ergou, and he serves in the side yard."

Unexpectedly, the old woman's expression suddenly changed, "There is no Li Ergou here, you have found the wrong person!"

Then he closed the door, blocking Yuan Qing's tears that had not yet been shed.

"Mother-in-law, please open the door. My second uncle is really here. Please help me ask again!" Yuan Qing was not giving up and wanted to try again.

But no one responded from inside the door.

This method didn't work, so she pretended to be confused and looked back at the closed back door, and finally left unwillingly.

Yuan Qing didn't dare to look back. Even if she couldn't feel it, she knew that there must be a few people following her.

She could only lower her head and walk towards where Wei Lin was.

The people behind followed all the way and saw an old man with a white beard coming out. They stopped only after confirming the relationship between the two.

He is really cautious. He even chased me to my doorstep.

"Is he back?" Yuan Qing asked after putting down the basket.

Wei Lin shook his head, “No.

But don't worry, although that boy's martial arts may not be as good as Ji Mansion's secret guards, it will be no problem to get rid of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yi rushed open the door, panting.

Yuan Qing handed over a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, take your time to talk."

Yuan Yi recovered his breath and said, "Aqing's guess is correct. There are experts everywhere in the Ji Mansion. It seems that Ji Kang is indeed not a simple person."

Yuan Qing suddenly asked Wei Lin: "How long does a grand event usually last?"

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on God's will." Wei Lin replied.

"What is God's will?"

"Even if there are winds and clouds, lightning and thunder, etc., they can all be considered as God's will, but if the sky clears after the rain, it can only be considered as a minor blessing.

If it is a major astronomical phenomenon such as a storm, it is a very bad omen.

On the contrary, if a small fortune or bad omen is followed soon by the appearance of colorful auspicious signs, it is great fortune.

This is difficult to determine. Except for extremely auspicious astronomical phenomena, the rest of the situation can basically be over in just one hour."

Celestial phenomena...

She is the best at this. If she wants to arouse the wrath of Heaven, isn't this a simple thing?

So the earring that had been gathering dust in the bracelet came in handy again.

As long as she could get Ji Kang to delay his return home, she would find a way to knock on the door of Ji's mansion.

If Ji Kang could return in time, let alone enter the Ji Mansion, he could reverse the defeat just by relying on his mouth.

"Ayi, come with me." Yuan Qing walked past Wei Lin and went to the inner room.

Yuan Qing took out the earrings that had not been used for a long time from her bracelet and said, "Take this and go for a walk around the event."

As long as the things that belong to the way of heaven are not used, they will not cause lightning accidents like the one that happened to the third prince, but will only cause a few muffled thunders.

Let the young guard take it and show it around at the party, and you will achieve the Xiaoji that Wei Lin mentioned.

After waiting for a while, the clouds will clear and the thunder will subside, reaching a very auspicious level, and the event will help her delay for a while.

She still needed to do one important thing.

She took out a scroll from her bag.

There was a picture of a very beautiful girl, who was about the same age and height as her, and had a similar face shape, except that the girl's eyes were slightly longer than hers, like a phoenix's eyes.

Yuan Qing leaned over the table, looking at the girl in the painting in the mirror, took out the cosmetics she had exchanged, and carefully applied them on her own face.

After sketching repeatedly several times, she finally portrayed a woman with a sad expression and thin figure.
