The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

Prince Zhennan's second concubine, Xiao Xu, lived on the west side of the main courtyard, and the lights had been turned off at this moment.

But the fight inside was intense.

The scattered clothes on the ground, women's and men's, extended from the inner room to the bedroom.

Lu Jiao understood at a glance that one of the secret guards in the palace was on the princess's bed.

I just don't know if the Prince of Zhennan knows what his successor princess and the secret guards have to say.

Or maybe he just doesn't care.

What's more, he tacitly allowed the secret guard to have an affair with the princess consort.

Wow, these people are really having fun.

Lu Jiao was not interested in this kind of fight between monsters. After determining where the people were, he withdrew his mental power and went to look for Yan Yuanhao's future wife.

When her mental power radiated out, she unexpectedly discovered the mental power mark left behind before.

After encountering Roudun at the White Pagoda Temple fair, a team of plainclothes attendants secretly searched for Lu Jiao and the others, and they seemed to have bad intentions.

At that time, Lu Jiao marked the body of their leader.

She had originally forgotten about this, but didn't expect to encounter it here.

Judging from the location where the man was, it looked very much like the barracks where the palace guards camped at night.

I think it was the princess consort's idea before.

Lu Jiao secretly kept it in mind. She would never forget this kind of debt collection matter.

However, she is not clear about Yan Yuanhao’s arrangements at the moment, and she doesn’t want to cause any trouble.

Once something happens in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, the defense and patrol routes within the mansion may change.

This night's exploration would be meaningless, and she would not waste her efforts.

How to collect the debt still needs long-term consideration.

Lu Jiao quickly found the boudoir of the eldest daughter of the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion.

At this time, Gu Yanning was leaning on the bed reading a book.

The candlelight was dim, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was fascinated.

Her long hair was let down, tied only with a ribbon and hanging casually on one side.

Her face held the innocence of a young girl, and her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly as her gaze moved.

The maidservant next to her was leaning against the bed, drowsy, and her legs almost went weak and she fell to the ground several times.

“Xia Yue, if you are sleepy, go to bed.

You keep shaking it like this, messing up the candle flame and making my eyes blurry."

Xia Yue suddenly woke up: "Miss, I won't sleep unless you do!"

Gu Yanning remembered that he had just heard the second watchman's bell not long ago, so he handed the book in his hand to her.

"Forget it, I'll go to sleep too. I'll get up early tomorrow and greet Yan Qing before going to school."

"Thank you for your hard work, miss."

Gu Yanning smiled bitterly, "After all, he is the brother that his mother risked her life to give birth to. If he is so useless, isn't he just a bargain for the mother and son in the west courtyard?

It was my negligence before that allowed that woman to reach out to my brother's yard."

"That's right! Fortunately, the traitorous servant has been driven out of the young master's courtyard. It's a pity that the whole family couldn't be sold out."

Gu Yanning pursed her lips and let Xia Yue tuck in the quilt for her without saying anything else.

On the surface, she really couldn't do anything to the boy for the time being, so she had to think of a way...

She couldn't do anything to her good aunt, so how could she tolerate a servant?

Lu Jiao was lying on the roof of the small building, pointing at the moon in the sky with two fingers.

This King of Zhennan is really interesting.

He did his best as a foreign vassal king with a large army, but the emperor trusted him nonetheless.

In the original plot, he had no regard for his family in Beijing.

Even though the military campaign in the south failed, the emperor always tolerated the Prince of Zhennan and did not do anything to his wife and children.

Although one of the reasons was that there were no generals available in the capital, Lu Jiao thought about it and always felt that something was wrong.

Unable to figure it out, Lu Jiao stopped thinking about it and attributed it all to the emperor's incompetence.

The morning light was dim, the moon was hanging in the sky, and faint traces of light yellow could be seen.

At this time, Gu Yanning's yard began to become lively.

Lu Jiao wrote down the location and time of the last guard changeover, while Gu Yanning had already changed her clothes and was ready to go to the West Courtyard to pay her respects.

Lu Jiao silently made a note for little Xu: It was really heartless to make such a skinny little girl stand in the yard so early in the morning.

That is to say, in this backyard, no one would spread the news of her meticulous and annoying skills.

Otherwise, people in the capital would have a lot of discussion about it.

Lu Jiao made up her mind that she would advise Yan Yuanhao when she returned and publicize the good things done by the princess consort.

It’s not appropriate to publicize what happened in the backyard too much, and you can also make a fuss about Roudun’s previous words and deeds.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiao hid his figure and followed.

Last night she had been paying attention to the movements of the Princess Consort. The secret guard left in the late night, so it was impossible for him to get up so early.

If the water plantain goes there so early, it will definitely suffer a lot.

When Gu Yanning arrived at the West Courtyard, the Princess Consort had indeed not yet stood up.

This wasn't the first time, she was used to it.

Nanny Pan, who was beside the Princess Consort, came out to greet her: "Miss, you came really early today.

Unfortunately, the princess was late in looking at the account book yesterday, so I'm afraid she will get up late today."

She looked smiling, as if she was waiting for Gu Yanning to take her own leave.

When Gu Yanning's mother, Princess Xu of Yuan, passed away, Gu Yanning was already six or seven years old and had a nanny by her side.

She had also learned a lot about the tricks in the backyard. She smiled and said, "I'll just wait here. Auntie can't sleep until noon."

Although this sounded like a joke, Nanny Pan heard a hint of sarcasm in it.

The princess consort gets up late every now and then, but she likes to have Gu Yanning come over for morning inspection every day.

Nanny Pan had secretly advised Xiao Xu many times, but she still refused to give in.

Fortunately, most of the people in the backyard are hers, and they will not spread what happens in the inner yard.

Otherwise, people in the capital would have been talking about the scandal of the Princess Consort being harsh towards the children of Princess Yuan.

Nanny Pan couldn't persuade her own master, but she could find something wrong in Gu Yanning's words.

"My lady, you should call the step-princess mother."

"Ah!" Gu Yanning pretended to be coquettish, "When mother was alive, my aunt often came to the house, and I got used to calling her that.

I’m afraid it will be difficult to change in a short period of time.”

In fact, it was because Xiao Xu had just married into the palace, unlike now when she controls the entire palace, and she thought she was magnanimous enough to allow Gu Yanning to continue calling her aunt.

Gu Yanning has never changed her name, and it is even more impossible to change it now.

It seemed as if she was constantly reminding Xiao Xu that it was because she seduced her brother-in-law during her elder sister's mourning period that she had her current status.

Nanny Pan and Gu Yanning were stuck in a stalemate in this corridor.

Including Gu Yanning's other maid Xiuxue, the three of them stood there, as if they were fighting to see which side would compromise first.

Fortunately, it is only the beginning of May and early morning, so it won’t be too hot.

If it were July, I'm afraid Nanny Pan wouldn't be able to bear it.

Just as she was secretly moving her right foot, a maid came out from the main house.

"Princess, please wake up, Miss."
