"How did they get together?" Jiang Rao asked.

The palace maid shook her head, "I don't know, maid, can the girl go out to see them now? The fourth master and the ninth highness are waiting in the glaze pavilion."

Jiang Rao nodded immediately, "Take me there."

When I thought of the tone of her father's every time he said "that kid in the west of the city", it was replaced by his expression of blowing beard and staring.

Jiang Rao had an intuition that it was not a good thing for the two of them to get together.

...

In the glaze pavilion, the picture is rarely harmonious.

Jiang Siye's eyes swept across the boy's sickly pale arm. The red marks on the boy's sickly pale arm were really miserable.

It's embarrassing to let him have a stinky face.

He frowned, remembering the few times he had seen Xiaorong Ting in Jinling for many years.

He used to really think that the bony child couldn't survive.

If Queen Jiahe doesn't have a biological child, the exchange may become his umbrella.

But then there were seventeen princes.

Emperor Zhaowu favored the child's mother, saying that it was love at first sight, but to put it bluntly, it was just a fancy, not much emotion. He has many sons, and he doesn't have much affection for this child.

With him, there are so many children, I'm afraid I can't remember which one is called, the number is one, two, three, four, five, six, the boss, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

It's really not easy for the ninth person to survive until now.

Jiang Siye suddenly remembered something.

Looking at Rong Ting, his face was serious, "Have you met my daughter in the palace?"

Don't worry about whether he is pitiful or not, it is very likely that Rong Ting, who is near the water tower, has not concealed anything about this matter, and nodded in recognition.

The old father was heartbroken.

In today's situation, he lifted a stone and smashed himself in the foot.

If he didn't go back to Jinling, how could there be such a thing today?

Then his daughter already knew that Rong Ting was the ninth prince, and she already knew that Rong Ting was the kid who almost made a baby kiss with her!

My feet hurt, now my feet hurt.

Jiang Siye's tone was deep, hinting to Rong Ting, "The past is in the past."

When Rong Ting was talking about the fact that he took Jiang Rao and left Jinling without telling him, even though he was dissatisfied and tore like a wolf's claws, but because he was Jiang Rao's father, his expression was gentle and kind, "En."

The two maintained a superficial peace.

But Jiang Siye thought about it, because he was very unhappy to see Rong Ting and his daughter together, he coughed, "Ninth Highness, why don't you go back to the palace first, the lower official will arrange someone, and I will give you the medicine later. send."

Rong Ting's eyes darkened.

Jiang Siye felt a little guilty in his heart. He was scratched by the cat. It would be better if he took the medicine earlier.

What's more, he made him go a long way in exchange.

But the guilt, which was only a tiny amount of sesame seeds, was nothing compared to his disgust for the brat who might kidnap his daughter.

He didn't say get out of it directly, he had already endured very hard.

At this time, there was a clear voice behind him, "Daddy."

Fourth Master Jiang turned around.

His daughter, whom he hadn't seen for several days, ran towards him with her skirt in hand.

The daughter is really a treasure, no matter how old she is, she is happy to see it.

He hadn't seen each other for a few days, and he was thinking about it like this. If he wanted to marry someone in the future, he would have changed his mind.

Fourth Master Jiang turned his head firmly, facing Rong Ting, and ordered the expulsion.

"Ninth prince, please come back. After a while, I will ask the servant to deliver the medicine to you."

"What kind of medicine?" Jiang Rao had already run up to Fourth Master Jiang and asked curiously.

Seeing that Fourth Master Jiang did not stare at Rong Ting blowing his beard in person, he felt a little relieved. Hearing Fourth Master Jiang's words, he immediately pricked up his ears.

"Nothing."

"Scratched by a cat."

Fourth Master Jiang kept a secret, Rong Ting calmly rolled up his sleeves and made a sound at the same time.

The red marks on the boy's arms looked darker than the dark red lines on his clothes.

The action is not very deliberate.

The scars on the arms are very eye-catching.

Jiang Rao glanced at the wound on his arm, and then glanced at Pomegranate.

Probably guessed that the pomegranate was sneaking to Shouhuai Palace again in the morning.

How many palace maids can't look at it, it's really not a white body.

Pomegranate is currently in the arms of Fourth Master Jiang.

Jiang Rao looked at it and slowly shook her head.

This cat eats other people's mice and scratches people's arms instead.

Evil cat is evil.

Pomegranate grabbed the beard on Jiang Siye's chin and had a great time playing, unaware that his reputation was damaged.

Jiang Rao called Ming Shao to carry the pomegranate over, Gu Ren first took care of the injured one, pushed Rong Ting's wheelchair familiarly, and said to the fourth master Jiang: "Dad, there is medicine in my aunt, this is far from Shuxiang. The palace is not far away, I will take him to Shuxiang Palace to apply medicine, you have been busy for a few days, go back to the palace to rest first."

After speaking, Jiang Siye didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Rao agreed and pushed Rong Ting's wheelchair away.

Fourth Master Jiang is a male dependent, and he cannot enter the harem unless he asks for a decree.

Because Emperor Zhaowu invited him to paint, he was fortunate to stay in the palace for a few more days, which was rare. Still can't get into the harem.

at most

In this pavilion outside the palace, can wait for daughter to come out to find him.

But Rong Ting was less than sixteen, so he was living in the palace. If there were palace maids and eunuchs watching, he would have a wider range of walking in the harem.

Jiang Siye looked at his daughter's back, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

I wish could bring Pomegranate back and scratch him twice, making daughter feel sorry for his old father.

...

At this time, Jiang Rao ran back in a hurry.

Jiang Siye was moved to tears

The daughter has his old father in her heart!

As for the ninth prince, he must have been too pitiful to make his daughter feel soft and sympathetic.

Jiang Rao handed a letter to Fourth Master Jiang's arms, "I almost forgot, Daddy, this letter is for you."

Fourth Master Jiang accepted it.

"It's a very important letter," Jiang Rao said.

But her eyes moved to the side, and she didn't dare to look at Jiang Siye's eyes, Xiaobuzi had already started to retreat, "Dad, you wait until I'm gone, and then read it, tell your mother, and then destroy it. Don't let anyone know."

After he finished speaking, he slipped away.

Jiang Rao thought for a long time, how to tell her father about helping the ninth prince.

Destroyed her father's plan to just sit out and watch the tiger fight, her father must be unhappy.

think about it

Instead, write a letter.

In this way, when Fourth Master Jiang reads the letter, she will not be beside him, nor will she be scolded or beaten.

Jiang Siye looked at the back of her hurriedly running away, and felt that this was not a good idea.

However, because of the solemnity in his daughter's words, only after returning to the house, he dismissed the servants in the house and opened the letter.

Jiang Rao knew that she had written the reason and the things in her dreams, and others would only think she was crazy.

So only wrote in the letter that daughter was not filial and wanted to serve the ninth prince, hoping that father would be fulfilled.

She has been obedient since she was a child, and she does her own way, only this time.

Fourth Master Jiang read the letter.

Annoyed that his beard almost broke.

Unfilial, she also knows that she is called unfilial!

He worked hard and wanted to keep her away from all the right and wrong, but the daughter chose the one with the most right and wrong, and walked in step by step.

Jiang Qin Shi was beside Jiang Fourth Master, and frowned when he saw his gloomy expression.

"Sir, be patient."

She knew that because her daughter was abducted when she was six years old, and almost never got it back, her husband was very careful about his daughter's affairs from now on.

But this is cautious, a little too much.

"Children have their own lives," she advised.

Jiang Siye's eyes were full of worries about his daughter, but he finally seemed to be relieved. Helplessly, he gave a wry smile, "Change her letter, it is not written to ask me to make her marry. ."

"I definitely won't let her marry a man who might have a group of wives and concubines. My daughter doesn't need to suffer this kind of grievance." Fourth Master Jiang raised his hand and stretched out the corner of the letter into the candlelight.

The tissue paper ignited and was gradually swallowed by the flames.

Jiang Qin asked, "What is the master's plan now?"

"Whatever she wants to do every year, let her do it." The candlelight reflected on Jiang Siye's broad and solid shoulders like a mountain, "I will not stop her from assisting the only people she wants, and doing what she wants. But will always be behind Nian Nian, protect her and protect her."

This is what Jiang Rao promised.

Jiang Qinshi smiled relievedly and held Jiang Siye's hand.

"However." Jiang Siye changed the conversation, "Even if I promise this, I will not use my power to support the ninth prince."

He hummed: "The power in my hands only protects my wife and children."

Instead, he had to see what kind of soup this kid poured into his daughter, so that her daughter would always stand by his side, forgetting his old father.

The old father was thinking about his ideas, thinking of some ways to make his daughter change her mind.

...

Shuxiang Palace, side courtyard. According to Jiang Rao's instructions, the palace maid brought medicine.

In the small blue box, there is a slightly cool ointment.

The palace maid wanted to give Rong Ting medicine, but was called by Jiang Rao: "Give me the medicine."

Although she saw that the young man was developing towards purity, Jiang Shan's nature was difficult to change, and his temperament was a little more withdrawn. When he went out, even if it was not convenient enough to sit in a wheelchair, he would not let the palace servants serve him.

Let the maid come to give him medicine, I am afraid it will touch his bad luck again.

Jiang Rao held the small box in the palm of his hand, pressed the lid with his palm and unscrewed it, revealing the ointment inside.

She handed the medicine to Rong Ting, "I'll give you the medicine."

Rong Ting didn't take the medicine for a while, but after thinking about it, he took the medicine instead, lowered his head, and after applying it, Jiang Rao wanted to take the medicine away, but he lowered his head and exposed his neck, "There is also on the back of the neck, I think not."

"You help me," he said.

Jiang Rao glanced.

Rong Ting's long black hair was tied high on the side of his face, and his clear jawline and slender neck like jade were all exposed.

On the top, there are indeed a few thin red marks, pressing the old scars of different depths on the front.

The neck is literally full of wounds, new and old.

Even though he had only seen those old wounds before, Jiang Raohuan couldn't hold back, he let out a "hiss" and took a deep breath.

She calmly

He took the medicine from the inside, but without using his hands, he used a clean white jade spoon to apply the ointment and put it on the wound on the back of Rong Ting's neck.

She leaned over and got close, and the warm breath hit his neck, Rong Ting's eyes sank, and he couldn't help thinking of the drunken night Rong Ting felt that he might be sick.

It's just that she gets closer, and she feels at ease.

Jiang Rao saw that there was an abnormal flush behind Rong Ting's ears.

The cool jade spoon dipped the medicine, and then dipped it behind his ear.

Move very gently and carefully.

Because she saw some wounds, the skin was scratched, and the medicine must be very painful.

It was scratched really hard.

After applying the medicine, she tilted her head to look at Rong Ting, frowned and asked, "Is this all scratched by pomegranates?"

Jiang Rao wondered why pomegranates would scratch people.

Pomegranate is like a cat when it catches mice, and it is like a pig at other times. It either eats or sleeps all day long.

She hasn't been with it for a few days, and hasn't seen it scratch her because it doesn't recognize her.

"En." Rong Ting's eyes sank, his fingers curled up, all his fingernails tucked in the palm of his hand, including the hidden weapon between his fingers.

Jiang Rao turned her head and called a palace maid to come over, "Go and fix the pomegranate's claws, but I can't ask it to scratch people anymore."

Let her see that this guy may not be committing a crime for the first time.

It's just that everyone in the palace knew that it was Concubine Yun's cat, a noble among cats, and no one dared to trouble it.

The noble pomegranate, who was run by the maid to cut his nails for no reason, was pinched by the maid with two meat cushions, meowing, and a big round face, a look of confusion.

Unknowingly, its reputation was once again damaged.

...

Jiang Rao brought Rong Ting to the side yard of Shuxiang Palace, not only to give him medicine.

The things he dreamed about in his dreams were meant to be told to him.

After dismissing the palace maids and leaving only Ming Shao, Jiang Rao said to Rong Ting: "The two eunuchs beside you, one is called Si Ying and the other is called Huai Qing. I recently found someone to investigate, the one called Si Ying, She has a cunning personality, has some problems, and is easily bribed by others."

What the maids had inquired about earlier was that Si Ying was clever and Huaiqing was honest, but Jiang Rao knew that Si Ying would be bought by the queen, and without hesitation, gave Si Ying a cunning hat.

Rong Ting looked slightly startled.

But not surprised that Si Ying has a problem.

It's a matter of time before Si Ying colludes with the queen.

He even facilitated it behind the scenes.

Si Ying and Huai Qing are two servants, Si Ying is slick and snobbish.

He had known for a long time that Si Ying had some unfaithful little gestures, but he never happened, but was waiting.

Waiting for Si Ying to completely go to the Queen's side, seeing his deliberately depressed and frustrated look in his eyes, he went to tell the Queen some false news.

Wait until the day when Si Ying is of no use value, find another reason to get rid of Si Ying.

Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, cut off the possibility of Huaiqing being bribed by the queen, and cultivated loyal servants for himself.

He has endured for more than ten years, and he will not rush for a while.

He just didn't expect that Jiang Rao would also think about it.

It's a shame he only thinks that she is the kind of little girl who is too well protected by her family, delicate, doesn't know the hardships, and thinks that everyone in the world is good. After all, she has a kind heart and looks innocent and innocent.

I just asked her if she had decided to help him, and she had never coveted her to do anything for him. This journey will only be dangerous and full of thorns, and he still wants to fight alone.

As said, one is prosperous, and one is lost. In the end, honor goes to her. If something goes wrong, he will definitely think of a safe way out for her.

And he, as long as he knew she was there.

But when he didn't know, she helped him find out the details of the servant.

Smarter than he thought.

It's just that the plan in his heart to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys is too shady and cruel, and speaking out... she will definitely be afraid of him.

His hands trembled, as if it was the first time he heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on his pale face.

Jiang Rao looked at him like this, and became more anxious in her heart, afraid that he would be tricked by the eunuch named Si Ying, and said, "You find a reason, while Si Yinghuan has done nothing bad, drive him out of Shouhuai Palace. ."

According to Jiang Rao's thoughts, even if Si Ying was abominable, the most severe punishment would be to reduce him to the clan's mansion.

But Rong Ting's methods are more ruthless.

He nodded, as if agreeing, but the original plan in his heart had not changed in the slightest.

The only way to commit crimes is to be executed.

"If there is a shortage of people in your palace, I will choose a good person, and let the maid and aunt next to my aunt go to the Jingshi room to say a few words and send it to you."

Jiang Rao thought that Rong Ting was now sitting in a wheelchair, and there were only two eunuchs beside her. One of them was a different person. Eighty percent of the time, there were not many servants around when he was a child, and he didn't develop the eyesight to recognize people. was taught by mother some principles of managing people and managing affairs.

She said: "When employing people, it's okay to be level-headed, and it's okay to give some small favors. To see who is easily tempted by money and greedy for small profits, it is often easy to ask others to bribe them with greater sweetness, such as Si answer."

She regarded Rong Ting as a poor little person who had no chance to understand the world, and said more for a while.

In the end, she went back to the matter that she wanted to help Rong Ting add a few servants, "Do you want me to help you choose someone in your palace?"

This is very important.

Although Jiang Rao wanted to choose her own people, she felt relieved about the people she chose, but thinking of Rong Ting's suspicious and withdrawn personality, she felt that he might not agree.

But he didn't expect that he should simply say, "If you want, I will agree."

No matter what she asked, as long as he could do it, he would agree.

Just thinking that she was so concerned about his affairs, she couldn't help but smile.

The pair of good-looking eyes shone brightly, the hostility was weakened, and on the handsome face, the sense of distance as cold as snow and ice was much weaker.

Only then did she realize that under his left eye, in the center, there was a very small mole, which was darker than the color of his hair, even more crimson, which made his already delicate and beautiful face even more confusing.

Jiang Rao looked a little stunned for a while.

A moment later, she regained her senses and looked away.

Annoyed that he was distracted by beauty.

I couldn't help but think that both her mother and her aunt were right. Seeing beautiful people makes me feel very happy.

At this moment, Jiang Rao thought of something very important.

In the dream, after Si Ying was bought by the queen, the queen asked Si Ying to put medicine into the food that Rong Ting ate, so that Rong Ting would not have the opportunity to participate in the spring test of Egret Academy and learn from Yan Nan.

The Secretary responded.

She asked Rong Ting, "Would you like to participate in the spring exam at Egret Academy in March?"

Rong Ting nodded.

Egret Academy is the best academy in Dazhao, but Egret Academy was found by Yannan.

Mr. Yan is arrogant and arrogant. He has lived a high and lofty life all his life.

Even if you are a relative of the royal family and you are a prince, if you want to enter his academy, you have to pass the spring test before you can enter.

Almost all the smartest scholars in Dazhao are there. If you can enter this academy, the road to attracting capable people and sages will be much wider.

Therefore, the rich and powerful all want to send their children there.

Jiang Rao pursed her lower lip, her expression a little more thoughtful.

Overthrowing Si Ying, a little eunuch, was easy.

But overthrowing the queen is not something that can be done in a moment.

Even if there is no Si Ying, the Queen must have another way to prevent Rong Ting from participating in the spring exam.

Rather than go to great lengths to fight back and forth with the queen, it is both frightening and frightening. Rather...

Jiang Rao said, "Did you know that there are other ways to enter the academy besides the spring test?"
