Originally, Li Xin didn't think there was any problem with Zhao Yuan's words. When the little maid looked at him, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Ji Qingning looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "It won't work now. The eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion has made me have a meal, so I'll hurry to go to the appointment."

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly.

The second prince wants to win him over?

But it is normal. With Ji Qingning's talent and courage, if he had helped to give advice, the hope of fighting for the throne would be greater.

Zhao Yuan said, "Then you go and go for the appointment. Let's go and hang out on the lanterns when you have time."

The two of them spoke and walked out of the alley, and walked a few more steps forward together.

A servant stood there looking out the window at the restaurant next to it.

Seeing Ji Qingning walking towards Hongxing Tower, he quickly turned around and said, "Young Master Ji is out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a brocade robe walked over to the window.

Who is it if it is not the eldest prince?

But his eyes saw Zhao Yuan first before falling on Ji Qingning. In an instant, a terrifying cold light burst out from his eyes.

"Why, do you still want to invite him over?" the servant asked in a trembling voice.

"No need!"

Zhao Yuan sent Ji Qingning downstairs to Hongxing Tower and left with Li Xin. Ji Qingning took the little maid into Hongxing Tower and was led by the restaurant guy to the second floor.

The guy was about to raise his hand and press the door when it opened.

A strange face appeared in front of me. It was the eldest son of Cheng Gonggong's Mansion. Seeing Ji Qingning, I smiled and said, "I was worried that Master Ji would not be able to come just now, but I didn't expect that someone would arrive. Please invite me."

There was still one person sitting in the private room.

He has a noble temperament and looks even better. He wears a dark patterned python robe, which shows that his identity is extraordinary.

Walking forward, Ji Qingning bowed his luggage and said, "I have met the second prince."

The man smiled and said, "Young Master Ji is indeed smart."

Does this have anything to do with intelligence?

The Duke Cheng Guo’s Mansion is the mother’s home of Concubine Cheng Xian and the second prince’s grandfather’s home. She can’t guess that she can’t prove that she is smart, and can’t guess that she can only mean that she is stupid.

Master Cheng smiled and said, "Sit down and chat."

It seems like he is already an acquaintance.

Ji Qingning sat down and the little maid stood behind her.

The second prince looked at Ji Qingning and said, "Young Master Ji is the favorite student of Old Master Zhang. The emperor praised you very much. I wanted to talk to you in the palace. I only met you today, but I felt like I knew each other too late."

Master Cheng smiled and said, "There are so many children of aristocratic families in Kyoto, and those who are as talented and courageous as Master Ji are almost unable to find them."

Ji Qingning was ready to be praised, but he was so arrogant that he couldn't resist it.

Ji Qingning said modestly, "The Second Prince and Master Cheng praised him. The talent was just a stake. I used to read a few more books. Now, with the loss of memory, I have lost my ability to remember everything. Sooner or later, I will become lost in everyone. As for courage, I will just be ruthless when I am forced to do so, and I cannot bear such praise."

The fact that Ji Qingning was almost drowned in the bathtub in Kyoto knew about Kyoto that since the second prince wanted to win over her, he naturally knew it.

The second prince smiled and said, "Master Ji is too modest."

Ji Qingning smiled softly, but did not answer, waiting for the second prince to say the key point.

Master Cheng poured wine for Ji Qingning and said, "Master Ji is a smart person. Everyone will not talk around the bush. Today I will hold a banquet for you. It is the second prince who wants to win you over."

Ji Qingning declined politely, "At present, I just want to study with peace of mind and wait for my father to come back from the southwest."

"Last time, the eldest prince asked me to talk to the palace, and I replied to him like this."

The second prince smiled and said, "I guess you were not attracted by him, otherwise you wouldn't have snatched the limelight from the eldest prince with fifty taels of silver."

Ji Qingning's mouth twitched. No wonder the second prince had the ability to compete with the eldest prince for the position of crown prince. She refused and he put pressure on her with the eldest prince.

If she steals the limelight from the eldest prince, she will inevitably be hated by the eldest prince. She, a son of a small official, cannot stand the prince's anger. If she joins his second prince's party, he will keep her safe.

Ji Qingning understood the implicit meaning and said melancholy, "I don't know about donation. In addition, the last piece of the dragon jade pendant was broken into the hands of the Prince of Mao Guo. I don't think the eldest prince will be counted on me."

The second prince laughed.

The laughter was the answer, she thought so well.

Ji Qingning drooped his eyes and didn't say anything anymore. Master Cheng moved Ji Qingning to reason with his emotions, and Xu Ji Qingning was a high-ranking official and generous salary, just like the Prince of Mao Guo who helped the eldest prince win over Ji Qingning.

Ji Qingning's eyes moved from Master Cheng to the second prince and said, "I won't be an official in the court."

He almost choked Master Cheng to death without saying a word, "Don't you want to be an official?"

Ji Qingning shook her head, "I have never had such an idea."

Thinking of the ancient people being easy to deceive, Ji Qingning said, "When I was young, my mother had calculated my fortune. If I entered the court as an official, I would have to piss off at least three or five old ministers to death."

"It will not help but harm those officials in the court. I have never had the idea of ​​joining the court to become an official."

"When I have such an idea, how could I give it to someone with the ready-made military weapon chief?"

Fearing that Master Cheng would persuade her again, Ji Qingning stood up and said, "Don't worry, the second prince, I will never be an official in the court in my life, let alone an aide to the eldest prince."

As long as she doesn't help the eldest prince, it will not be a threat to his second prince.

Ji Qingning bowed and said goodbye.

She said so resolutely, and there was no need to keep her.

Until the sound of closing the door came, Master Cheng couldn't come back to his senses, "There are still people in this world who don't want to be an official?"

There are also people who don’t want to be an official, but most of them have been officials. They are disappointed with the court but are unable to change it. They can only leave and are invisible.

Young Master Ji said that he would not enter the court without even getting involved in the court. Did he not value power or status at all?

The second prince drank half a cup of tea and then went out. As soon as he went out, he saw the eldest prince coming towards him.

The second prince said indifferently, "You are late, and the person has left."

The eldest prince said, "Do you think I'm here to find him?"

The second prince smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

He didn't believe that the second prince would watch him win over Master Ji. He felt that it was normal for Master Ji to fail to come to the appointment today.

The eldest prince shook his jade fan and said, "You and I can't win him over, give up as soon as possible."

The second prince frowned, "What does this mean?"

The eldest prince said, "Because someone took the lead."

"Who?" The second prince didn't believe it.

"The third brother."

The second prince's back froze, "It's impossible, the third brother is sick, what did he do to win over Master Ji?"

The eldest prince smiled, "Your news is really blocked. Don't you know that the third brother's illness has been cured? It may even be cured by the eldest master Ji whom you and I tried hard to win over."

"You and I are fighting to the death here, he is free and easy in the academy."
