Marriage of the Di Daughter

"I think she is bewitched. Otherwise, mother, why did she seem to be a different person when she came back from Qingcheng Mountain? Qingcheng Mountain can turn a fool into a wise person. Those nuns and monks are all gods, right? Could it be that she was blamed by some fox spirit?" Come to our house to suffer disaster.”

Jiang Youyao's unintentional words made Ji Shuran really think deeply.

In fact, her doubts about Jiang Li did not last for a day or two. When Ji Shuran entered the door, she could tell that Jiang Li was stupid. Ye Zhenzhen died early, and no one taught her something. After Ji Shuran passed the door, she won Jiang Li into obedience.

Jiang Li has an impulsive temperament, and everything is out of her mind. It's okay for such a person to be raised in the mansion, but later Ji Shuran fell in love with Zhou Yanbang's marriage and wanted to make way for Jiang Youyao, but at this time, Ji Shuran was also thinking of ways to destroy Jiang Li's affairs.

Who knew that Jiang Li might know the secret, which made Ji Shuran feel uneasy. She did not hesitate to use the piece of meat in her stomach, just to make Jiang Yuanbai dislike Jiang Li and refuse to believe what Jiang Li said.

Jiang Yuanbai did indeed, he sent Jiang Li to Mount Qingcheng. For eight years, the entire Jiang family ignored Jiang Li and allowed her to fend for herself on Mount Qingcheng. Ji Shuran was amazed at Jiang Li's tenacity in life, and she survived such a situation. But as the marriage between Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang approached, she was afraid that Jiang Yuanbai would think of this daughter, so she secretly sent someone to do something about it.

The person who reported back said that Jiangli was thrown into the lake, and no one else could tell that he had moved his hands and feet. He is also dying now, and he will not survive this summer. Only then did Ji Shuran feel relieved, but not long after her peace of mind, Jiang Li escaped from the gate of hell and came back alive. Not only that, when the affair between Helin Temple's enlightenment and Mrs. Jing'an happened, Cheng Delang's wife, Mrs. Liu, went there suddenly, and Emperor Hong Xiao personally beat Jiang Yuanbai... One by one, it came unexpectedly, disrupting all of her life. According to the plan, Jiangli entered Beijing safely.

That's when everything started to get out of hand. She stole Jiang Youyao's limelight in the examination field, Zhou Yanbang was suddenly with Jiang Yu'e, the young master of the Ye family became an official for no reason, and now the whole Yanjing city is full of praise... Jiang Li seems to be a different person. In front of a 10-year-old girl, Ji Shuran couldn't get any favors, and suffered frequently.

It's not that she has become stupid, but that Jiang Li has become smarter. She has become cunning and scheming, but her face is still gentle. Whenever she sees her eyes, Ji Shuran will feel chills all over her body.

How can there be such a girl who can pretend?

In addition to complaining about Jiang Youyao, Ji Shuran also has her own considerations. After Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, she never mentioned that matter. Ji Shuran thought, maybe Jiang Li didn't hear what she said at all. But... She couldn't take the risk, that secret seemed to endanger her at any time, she couldn't take any risks. Jiang Li is becoming more and more difficult to deal with now. If she is not removed as soon as possible, it will be even more difficult to do it again in the future.

Jiang Youyao's words reminded Ji Shuran.

After Jiang Li came back from Qingcheng Mountain, her temperament changed drastically, and she was still proficient in everything. She took such careful care of Xue Huaiyuan, Tongxiang County Prime Minister, there must be something inside between the two of them. It doesn't matter if you can't find out, as long as you point out the suspicious points on her, Jiang Li will never be safe.

But how to order, how to achieve the best goal, still has to follow her thinking.

"I have to go to the palace." Ji Shuran stood up.

"What are you doing in the palace?" Jiang Youyao asked.

Ji Shuran smiled: "Of course I'm meeting your aunt, Empress Lipin."

Regarding the matter of killing without blood, Li Pin has always been one of the best. To plan, she had to ask Li Pin for help.

...

In the palace, Concubine Li was sitting in the palace watching someone playing the piano.

Sitting opposite her was the lady from Mingyi Hall, Xiao Deyin, who is now the number one female luthier in Yanjing City.

Although Xiao Deyin refused to enter the palace, he had a good relationship with Concubine Li, and would occasionally come to the palace to chat with Concubine Li, and it was for this reason that even though Xiao Deyin was not a luthier, people in the palace would respect her when they saw her Plus.

After playing the song, Concubine Li clapped her palms, smiled and said: "Today I feel free to come to my place, why don't you go to find Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Princess Yongning also likes Xiao Deyin's piano sound, and invites Xiao Deyin to play at her house from time to time.

"His Royal Highness is depressed these days, it's better not to disturb." Xiao Deyin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li asked, "But because of the Xue family case?"

Xiao Deyin nodded: "Exactly."

Concubine Li sighed: "Yongning has also suffered an unreasonable disaster. Well, how could she be involved in the Xue family case? Now there are rumors outside, but she has to spend a lot of time thinking."

Xiao Deyin said: "Indeed, this time, Second Miss Jiang did too much. Originally, the case of the Xue family was complicated and there was no evidence, but Princess Yongning was also dragged into this muddy water. Second Miss Jiang just said a word For Princess Yongning, it is hard to say clearly."

"That's right," Concubine Li sighed, "I heard that Second Miss Jiang mentioned Xue Huaiyuan's relatives at the court meeting, and when she mentioned Xue Fangfei, Mrs. Shen, the official of Zhongshu She, was also present, which seemed very embarrassing."

When the word "Xue Fangfei" was mentioned, Xiao Deyin's expression was unnatural for a moment.

Fortunately, Concubine Li didn't continue the conversation, but said: "The second Miss Jiang is also very powerful. Not to mention this court meeting, even the school exam, she was also in the limelight. You also heard her piano sound It’s been pretty good.”

This time, Xiao Deyin's face became even more ugly. You must know that after the inspection, many people compared Jiang Li's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" to her. Many people will say that Jiangli has surpassed her. And even if he didn't say that, everyone else has said that Jiang Li will be the No. 1 luthier in Yanjing in the future.

Xiao Deyin was very unconvinced, but she had to admit that Jiang Li's accomplishments in piano art, I'm afraid she can't catch up now. So she was also very afraid, if Jiang Li wanted to play on another occasion, how long would she be able to hold on to the title of the number one luthier.

Concubine Li didn't know if she saw Xiao Deyin's expression, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. At this moment, the palace servant came in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Jiang is here."

Xiao Deyin hurriedly got up: "In that case, I won't bother Empress Li, Deyin will leave."

Concubine Li didn't keep her, and said: "In that case, let's talk another day. Hong Zhu, send Mr. Xiao off."

Hongzhu sent Xiao Deyin away, and Luwu asked: "Why did your mother bring up the matter of Second Miss Jiang playing the piano in the examination field? This servant looks at Mr. Xiao's face, it's really not very good."

"Just to make her feel unhappy." The smile on Li Concubine's face gradually disappeared, and she said, "Xiao Deyin is the most competitive person, and he values ​​reputation more than anything else. Jiang Li is so difficult, and there is another Xiao Deyin Dealing with her is easier for my younger sister. But," she sighed, "Shuran probably has no other way, so she came to me for help, and I don't know what happened."

Ji Shuran came in.

When she came in, she first saluted respectfully, and when the seat collapsed, Concubine Li asked the maid to help her up.

"Third Sister," Li Pin said, "Why are you here?"

Ji Shuran looked at her sister, compared with herself, Li Pin was younger. It's not that Ji Shuran is not beautiful enough, but that although Li Concubine is older than her, there is always a bit of girlishness in her expression. This made her look no different from other young women in the harem, and even more charming.

Among the three sisters from Ji's family, Li Pin was the most beautiful, and Chen Ji's was the most domineering. She was the only one who was doted on because of the name of a younger sister. Ji Shuran is closer to Chen Jishi, but she admires this eldest sister the most. Among other things, at their age, Concubine Li can still monopolize Emperor Hong Xiao's favor in the palace.

Ji Yanlin was determined to send this eldest daughter to the palace since he was a child, so no matter the food and food at home, the best portion was always for Concubine Li. Ji Shuran was ignorant when she was a child, so she always complained about Ji Yanlin's partiality. It wasn't until she grew up that Concubine Li became Ji's family's reliance in the palace that she slowly came to terms with it.

Especially now, when she needs help everywhere, she feels that Ji Chen can't fully help her, so she has to ask this elder sister with seven apertures and exquisite heart for help.

"Sister," Ji Shuran did not call her mother, but called her like an ordinary sister, she said: "You have seen what is going on in my house now. Jiang Li is getting more and more difficult to control, I have to find a way Get rid of her."

Hearing this, Concubine Li shook her head and said, "I saw it at the palace banquet last time. At that time, I thought Jiang Li was a difficult person to deal with. Younger sister, you have been immersed in the back house for so many years, how could you let her grow to such an extent?" If it were me, I would never wait until now to act. Now that this girl is getting more and more wings, it is not as easy as before to get rid of her. "

"It's not that I never thought about getting rid of her, it's just that it happened suddenly," Ji Shuran said, "The master sent her to Qingcheng Mountain. I thought she was just a little girl, and she wouldn't be able to make a lot of money. When she gets older, find someone to marry her." Sending it out can also pave the way for Bingji. Who knows that Jiangli's temperament has changed drastically after returning, and she is so cunning that even I can't handle it."

Concubine Li looked at her and said: "You come to me now because you want me to help you get rid of her. Not to mention that I am in the palace, and there are eyes watching everywhere. Once I help you, I will cause trouble for myself." Come to trouble. And now that the case of the Xue family has just ended, if something happens to Jiang Li right after this time, His Majesty will definitely ask the government to investigate thoroughly. It is not wise for you to want to do something."

"My sister misunderstood me." Ji Shuran said: "I naturally know that Jiang Li's life cannot be in danger at this time, but if it is a family matter, others should not care about it."

Lipin asked: "What do you want?"

"My sister is in the palace, so she should know a lot of high-level people. I think that girl Jiang Li has been suspicious everywhere since she returned to Yanjing City. There is no husband in Qingcheng Mountain. How can she acquire skills. And sometimes I think ...I think she seems to be a different person, and there is no shadow of the past at all. You have heard about the Tongxiang case. Before Jiang Li took Xue Huaiyuan to Jiang's house, she took care of everything, and now, she still I have to visit Xue Huaiyuan at Ye's house every day. Her posture is more like a father and daughter than our master. There are rumors in the mansion that Jiang Li has gone evil. Qingcheng Mountain is on the mountain, and there are many vixen on the mountain. Could it be that I was possessed by something, which made it very strange... I want my sister to help me find someone, preferably a well-known expert, to come to our house to exorcise evil spirits..."

We are all smart people, we know each other well, we don't need to say anything very clear, especially our own sisters, they understand everything.

Concubine Li already understood, she smiled slightly: "You are also a solution, but if you don't do it better, I'm afraid it will be unbelievable."

"That's true," Ji Shuran said, "so this expert is very important." What this "expert" says must be convincing, and it is best to be a famous person.

"I see," Li Bin said, "I will arrange this matter. But little girl, if you want to do this, you must succeed. In the harem, there are not a few people who are staring at my position. If you Failed, involved me..."

"No way." Ji Shuran's heart trembled, if Concubine Li was really involved, not to mention Concubine Li, even Ji Yanlin would not be able to forgive herself. Thinking of this, she looked at Concubine Li's belly again: "Actually... as long as my sister is pregnant with a dragon child, a mere ginger pear is nothing. Even if the master wants to protect her, he can't protect her, and Youyao , and there is no need to be so entangled in marriage."

"Why don't I want to?" Concubine Li sighed leisurely, "I've tried all methods, but I can't get pregnant. This is probably fate."

Ji Shuran didn't dare to say more for fear of touching on Concubine Li's sadness. However, she was very happy to get Li Pin's promise, and talked with Li Pin about the family affairs, and then she left.

After Ji Shuran left, Concubine Li said to Hong Zhu, the maid in charge of the palace, "Go get my post, please come over to Taoist Master Xu."

Hongzhu took the order and went, Luwu said: "Your Majesty, do you really want to invite Daoist Chongxu?"

"Of course," Li Pin sighed, "Although my younger sister is confused, there is one thing that feels the same to me." Her eyes darkened: "Jiang Li, I can't keep it."

...

In Jiang's residence, Jiang Li had just returned from visiting Xue Huaiyuan at Ye's house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qingfeng and Mingyue eagerly greeted them, and when they arrived in the back room, Qingfeng said: "Girl, after you left, the Ji family will enter the palace soon."

"Entering the palace?" Jiang Li sat down and wondered, "What is she doing in the palace?"

"The servant secretly bribed the maid in Shuxiu Garden, and I heard that she went to the palace to see the concubine Li."

Tong'er was shocked when she heard the words, and looked at Jiang Li: "Girl, is it because of your business that Mrs. Ji saw Concubine Li suddenly?"

"That's right," Mingyue nodded beside her, "I think so too. After you returned to the mansion, the Ji family has been calm, maybe they are plotting some kind of conspiracy. Now that you see Concubine Li, could it be that you want Concubine Li?" Sitting master, what crooked tricks are you thinking of?"

Qingfeng Mingyue, two good servant girls, stayed with Tong'er for a long time, almost being led astray by Tong'er, and they were not polite at all when they spoke in private. Jiang Li smiled and said: "It's okay, they can't do anything to me."

"I'm afraid they will use evil tricks." Tong'er said with a serious face.

"It's okay." Jiang Li thought of the small porcelain whistle in her sleeve, and now she has an extra bargaining chip. Ji Heng said that he could blow the whistle when something happened, and he arranged for the people in Jiang's mansion to appear. This person is considered to be temporarily lent to him by Ji Heng, and she should have the final say on how to use it.

Maybe it was because he thought that he had an extra person who could be used at will, maybe it was because he was happy after seeing Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li just now, and he couldn't help the smile on his face no matter what.

Tong'er looked at Jiang Li strangely, wondering how she could be so happy when she knew that Ji Shuran was already planning something secretly, but Jiang Li was not vigilant.

"By the way, Ningyuan Hou's Mansion has also posted a post." Mingyue took out a post from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Li.

"Ningyuanhou's mansion?" Bai Xue was surprised, "Ningyuanhou's son has already engaged in a marriage, so why post a post for the girl?"

"It's not Prince Zhou," Qingfeng said, "It's the post from Miss Fifth."

"Jiang Yu'e?" Jiang Li paused when she opened the post, and looked down, the post was really written by Jiang Yu'e. The boss only said that he hadn't seen Jiang Li for a long time, and invited Jiang Li to Zhou's house for a small gathering.

Jiang Li only glanced at it, then tossed the post aside.

"Girl?" Tong'er was puzzled.

"I don't know what she's thinking, I really don't have the heart to deal with her." Jiang Li said. Jiang Yu'e's post almost didn't include the words "the visitor is not kind". In the Jiang Mansion, she and Jiang Yu'e never got along, and Jiang Yu'e was on Jiang Youyao's side. Later, because of the incident at the palace banquet, Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Youyao fell out, and Jiang Yu'e lost her appearance because of it, but even so, it didn't mean that Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Li had reconciled.

Moreover, Jiang Li believed that a person's temperament would not change drastically in a short period of time. Jiang Yu'e's tone of voice in this post was very gentle, as if she had changed to a different person. If Qingfeng Mingyue hadn't posted it, Jiang Li would have suspected that Jiang Yu'e hadn't written this post at all.

Jiang Yu'e was so humble just to let herself go to Zhou's family gathering, but Jiang Li didn't think so. That Zhou Yanbang later figured out that he would not be willing to plot him against him at the palace banquet. He was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Yu'e, and she didn't have the time to sing with them.

"Just ignore it?" Tong'er asked: "Is it better for the servant to burn it, or save it? The girl has to reply and refuse."

Jiang Li thought for a while, and said: "Don't throw it, find a way to drop it on the road where Jiang Youyao's maid passed by, let Jiang Youyao see it."

"Why is that?" Bai Xue was puzzled, "Wouldn't Miss San be even angrier after seeing you?"

"Yeah, she has a bad mind, and she will do outrageous things when she gets angry. I think Ji Shuran is always busy dealing with her when she is making trouble, so she has no time to deal with me. Let it go for a few days. Even if she doesn't deal with it for the time being Me, let me figure out what they want to do, don't fight unprepared, this battle, isn't it more exciting to fight with preparation?"

The maids thought it over and thought it was feasible, so they discussed how to bring this post to Jiang Youyao naturally.

Jiang Li sent them out, saying they wanted to read a book, but when they sat down at the desk, they felt the silver whistle in their sleeves.

The silver whistle is cold and cold, it's hard to believe that there are still Ji Heng's people hiding in this house. Jiang Li thought for a while, then put it back.

It's not safe now, and when it gets dark, she has to try it out first.

...

At night, the entire Jiang Mansion fell into silence.

Jiang Li asked Tong'er and Bai Xue to go to bed, and said that she still had to read for a while. After the two maids left, Jiang Li stood at the window, took out the whistle from her sleeve, and blew it softly.

She didn't know if Ji Heng's people would hear it, and what kind of appearance they would appear in. She had to try it first, Jiang Li stood quietly, waiting patiently.

After a while, a figure suddenly flashed under the tree in front of the window, as if someone was standing under the window.

Jiang Li said softly: "Come in."

The next moment, the man quietly jumped in from the window and stopped in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li closed the window, looked back, and when she saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help being stunned. This person is none other than the gardener of Jiang's family. He helps to take care of the garden in the mansion all day long. Jiang Li can't remember his name, but he knows that there is such a person. It is said that this person was invited back by Ji Shuran at a high price, and he is good at serving flowers and plants.

He is not even very old, he looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is immature and handsome. I heard that his skill in tending flowers and plants is very rare. It was Ji Shuran's favorite orchid that was about to die before, and it was this person who saved it. .

Jiang Li thought it was incredible at first, but she didn't expect that this person would be lurking in the Jiang family in this capacity, but after thinking about it, she felt that it seemed very natural. One must know that Ji Heng loves viewing flowers the most. The mansion has collected rare flowers and plants in the world, and all the servants in his mansion know how to plant flowers, and everyone is handsome. This person is good at planting flowers and handsome, he is indeed from Jiheng's house. It's just that no one thought that Ji Heng was so courageous that he would come to Jiang's mansion to be a gardener blatantly.

"What's your name?" Jiang Li asked.

"Subordinate Zhao Ke." The gardener said.

"Zhao Ke," Jiang Li pondered for a moment, "How long have you been in Jiang's residence?"

Zhao Ke didn't expect Jiang Li to ask this question, so he glanced at Jiang Li and didn't answer. Jiang Li said: "Since your master told me about your existence, for the time being, you and I should not be hostile. I think Ji Heng also knows that I will ask you this question. Since he didn't refute, he acquiesced. Just say, I Make sure he won't punish you for it."

Zhao Ke also followed Ji Heng since he was a child. Jiang Li called "Ji Heng" and called Ji Heng by his name, which surprised Zhao Ke. He didn't know if Jiang Li was too courageous, or the relationship between Jiang Li and Ji Heng was closer than he imagined. In short, Zhao Ke hesitated for a moment, and said: "Seven years ago."

Seven years ago, at that time, Jiang Li had already left the Jiang family. At that time, Ji Heng was only fourteen years old, and he had someone lurk in the Jiang family. However, after so many years, the Jiang family has not collapsed. It seems that he sent People in Jiang's family don't want to bring Jiang's family down.

"What do you do on weekdays?" Jiang Li asked.

"I'm a gardener in Jiang's house. If there's a big deal, I'll report it to the adults. If there's no big deal, I'll take care of the flowers and plants." Zhao Ke replied.

He was very frank, but Jiang Li knew that this was the end of it. Zhao Ke won't talk about deeper things, maybe he doesn't know at all.

Jiang Li nodded: "Do you know that Ji Shuran went to the palace today to see Concubine Li?"

Zhao Ke nodded.

"What did she go to see Concubine Li for? What did she do after returning home?" Jiang Li asked.

Zhao Ke said: "This subordinate did not follow up with the palace, so I don't know what the Ji family and Li concubine are planning. But today, I heard from the servant girl in Shuxiu Garden that Jiang Youyao suspected you..." He hesitated for a while, as if he felt that the words were a little hard to say , paused before continuing: "Being possessed by mountain spirits and wild monsters made her temperament change drastically after returning from Qingcheng Mountain. After hearing this, the Ji family suddenly decided to go to the palace."

Jiang Li glanced at him: "You heard the matter of Shuxiu Garden very clearly. Could it be that my every move in this yard cannot escape your eyes?"

Zhao Ke didn't speak.

"I didn't mean to blame you." Jiang Li said: "I know this is your master's order and has nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter, you can just watch it if you want. I have already guessed the cemetery where Ji's family entered the palace."

Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, guessed it so quickly? Moreover, Jiang Li's attitude was firm, without any hesitation. It seems that Wen Ji is right. This Second Miss Jiang is very determined and courageous.

Jiang Li lowered her eyes, Ji's methods are no strangers. When she married Shen Yurong back then, when she first arrived in Yanjing, when Shen Yurong was enjoying the spring breeze, she went out to socialize as Mrs. Shen and heard a lot of anecdotes from high families. But it is very common for a principal to seek help from a Taoist priest who wants to frame his concubine.

Of course, Jiang Li is not an ordinary concubine, she is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, it is not so easy for Ji Shuran to frame her. Ordinary Taoist mages may not be able to convince others. That's why Ji Shuran thought of Concubine Li. Concubine Li was in the palace and had a lot of connections. The expert Li Concubine found for Ji Shuran must be well-known, and his words could play an absolute role.

"Daoist Chongxu." Jiang Li said.

Zhao Ke raised his head and looked at Jiang Li in surprise.

"Three years ago, Concubine Li was framed by concubines using witchcraft in the palace, and her life was dying. Fortunately, Daoist Chongxu appeared and saved Concubine Li's life. Concubine Li gradually got better. Concubine Li wanted to spend a lot of money To reward this Taoist priest, but this Taoist priest didn’t take any money, and went to wander around by himself, and has never been seen since then.”

Zhao Ke was puzzled, although these things were not considered secrets in the palace, they were not known by everyone. What's more, Jiang Li was still in Qingcheng Mountain three years ago, how could she know these things. At that time, the Empress Dowager thought that this kind of incident in the palace was a scandal and should not be publicized, so everyone in the palace was given a gag order.

But Jiang Li still knew.

Jiang Li smiled slightly, she could see Zhao Ke's doubts, but she really knew about it. It was Shen Yurong who told her about it later, but I don't know where Shen Yurong heard it from. But at that time, he was already an official, so he could naturally come into contact with these secrets.

"The Ji family is looking for Concubine Li, but they want to use Concubine Li's hand to find an expert. There is no expert who is more suitable than this Daoist Chongxu. In my opinion," her eyes turned cold, "this Daoist Chongxu, who has never seen the end of the dragon, will appear again soon."
