Since that day when Emperor Wei Chang deposed the eldest princess, the harem did not dare to trouble Kang Yanning again for fear of offending the emperor's brow, so Kang Yanning and the second princess had been stable for a few days, and went to the study room to study diligently every day.
, return home on time.
The day of rest finally arrived. Bai Zhi saw that Kang Yanning had gone out early and returned late every day since she became the second princess's companion. She lay on the table listlessly and advised, "Miss, she has been working too hard recently. From the city to Kyoto,
We haven’t had a good look at it yet, why don’t we take a break today and go to the West Market for a walk, I heard that there are many new things in the West Market.”
Indeed, after arriving in Yucheng, Kang Yanning first renovated the Kang mansion in order not to return to the Kang mansion, and then attended the banquet hosted by the Holy Emperor. After being named the princess, she went on non-stop, accompanying the second princess.
When I'm doing my homework in the study, I don't have any time to myself, let alone going out for a walk. It's good to take a break, I still have some things to do.
Kang Yanning nodded in agreement, "Yes, I've been a little busy lately. I'm reading with the second princess. Brother, I haven't made any sound recently. What is brother doing?"
Forsythia took a step forward and refilled Kang Yanning's tea. "The young master seems to be quite busy recently, but he must be at the house today. When I was getting the cheese for the young lady, I saw Xiao Xiazi also bringing rose dew to the young master."
Kang Yanning's eyes lit up, "It will be easier if my brother is in the house. Bai Zhi, go find my brother and tell him that I am waiting for him at the Yanyu Building on West Street!"
"Zhang Feiyuan opened his eyes and shouted loudly: I am Zhang Yide from Yan. Who dares to come and fight me to the death..." The voice of storytellers could be heard downstairs, and Kang Yanning listened with interest in the elegant seat on the second floor.
Yanyu Tower is a famous teahouse in the Wei Dynasty. In Yanyu Tower, you can listen to the wonderful storytellers and discuss court affairs with people around you. You can order some unique snacks in Yanyu Tower, or
You can play mahjong and play Qiao cards in the private room. As soon as the guests enter the Yanyu Building, the Yanyu Building can give the guests maximum privacy and protection.
Teahouses were not uncommon in the Wei Dynasty, but Yanyulou is unique in the prosperous area of Kyoto West Street. It remains standing because of the people behind it. Kang Yanning took a silver spoon and poked the sugar cubes in the cup with interest.
I think, if everyone hadn't known that Yanyu Tower was Concubine Shu's property, Yanyu Tower might have taken over valuable businesses such as prostitution and stone gambling.
Kang Yanning looked around and found that the private room on the second floor was really well sealed. As long as the door was closed, not only could the sound inside not be heard, but even the guests coming up the stairs could not be heard from outside. It seemed that the third prince was actually
Will do business.
In her previous life, she liked to hold banquets with the ladies in the mansion, and rarely attended flower-viewing banquets. It was only after she got married that Kang Yanning learned that the famous Yanyu Tower was nominally under the name of Concubine Shu, but actually it was under the name of Concubine Shu.
The third prince's property was always here when he conspired with his courtiers.
It's just that forming a clique for personal gain was too obvious. In order not to be noticed by Emperor Wei Chang, he hid behind the scenes. This was Kang Yanning's first time here.
"Yan Ning." Kang Yanyu pushed open the door of the private room on the second floor, and the voice of storytellers from the first floor of Yanyu Tower suddenly flooded in. As Kang Yanyu closed the door with her backhand, the private room returned to complete silence.
"If you don't want to talk about something at home, why did you ask me to come here?" Kang Yanyu sat down, picked up the cup and poured himself a cup of tea. He tasted the tea in the cup, smacked his lips, and without waiting for Kang Yanning to answer, he said
“The tea from Yanyulou is indeed well-deserved.”
Kang Yanning nodded in agreement, meaning, "This Yanyu Building also lives up to its reputation."
Kang Yanyu is a good person and her sister's words, he raised his eyebrows, "What? Are you interested in Yanyu Tower?" He lowered his voice, "I've been getting closer to several children from aristocratic families in recent days. Listen,
They say that Yanyu Tower is the property of the third prince."
"I'm just telling you, brother, the dragon you have been missing recently turns out to be hanging out with other children from aristocratic families." Kang Yanning did not answer, but asked with interest.
Kang Yanyu smiled bitterly, "You're not Grandma yet. Ever since the imperial edict declared you to be the Second Princess's companion, Grandma asked me to find out which young master was of the right age, and then we could make some friends and see their character. It would be a good idea for you to come and tease me."
"
Kang Yanning's ambition was not here. She came to Kyoto just for revenge, and she was not interested in the children of those aristocratic families. She said no more and asked about the business: "Brother, has there been any progress on the girl I brought back when you were asked to check last time?"
"
Seeing that Yan Ning was not interested in her marriage, Kang Yanyu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, thinking that her mother-in-law's thoughts were about to go to waste. He knew what Yan Ning was asking, and said seriously, "You asked me to check on that girl, her name is...
.Huaili, right?"
Seeing Kang Yanning nod, he continued, "She is indeed a descendant of the Zhang family in Jiangcheng. I sent the people out to report to her. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows what she said, and it is indeed true. It's just that you asked me to check her out."
Brother, he disappeared without a trace. According to the people in Jiangcheng, after the Zhang family master beat the drum to sue the third prince, he took Huaili back to Jiangcheng, and then disappeared." Kang Yanyu knocked on the folding fan.
"After you brought her back to your house, she didn't do much. She stayed in the room all day and never went out. But after you became the second princess's companion, she started going out once a week, and my people followed her a few times.
But she was very suspicious and always turned several streets, and my men couldn't follow her. After losing her twice, I was afraid of alarming her, so I withdrew my men."
Kang Yanning understood that after she brought Huaili back, Kang Yanning deliberately ignored her. If Kang Yanning wanted to use Huaili for her own use, she must first know who her current master was.
In fact, Kang Yanning also had a vague suspicion in her heart that the third prince Wei Jiaxiao had a plan when she entered the capital. If the assassination failed, there would inevitably be another conspiracy. Moreover, the timing of Huai Li's appearance was too coincidental, a rich lady born in a merchant family.
, even if she is a guilty person, can she easily access the account book in the post office? She is asking for help from herself and only follows herself. Is she too naive? Kang Yan would rather not believe that there are fools in the world who are as gullible as herself.
.
"Brother, let me tell you a few places. You can send someone to guard here." Kang Yanning whispered in Kang Yanyu's ear. After hearing this, Kang Yanning frowned immediately, "These places you mentioned,
It seems that they all belong to Concubine Shu. Are you doubting that she belongs to Concubine Shu?"
"I asked my father that the third prince is a clan member. His case is a family matter and must be sent to the clan's mansion." Kang Yanning looked at Kang Yanyu with a smile. "Do you still remember who the clan's mansion was in that year?"
Your Majesty?"
Kang Yanyu suddenly raised her head, "The eldest prince! Before the eldest prince was dismissed, he was also under the jurisdiction of the clan mansion." After he put these things together, his hair suddenly became horrified, and his tone was a little hesitant, "Concubine Shu and the eldest prince...
What do they want to do? And..." He looked at Kang Yanning suspiciously, "How do you know this?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reminded me." She confidently pushed the unexplainable problem to the Crown Prince. "On the day we met Huaili, His Royal Highness felt something was wrong and prompted me to check it out. Sure enough." She poured a cup of tea and smelled it.
Smelling the aroma of tea, "It's really good."
His Highness the Crown Prince must have his own way. It would not be surprising if he was the Crown Prince. Looking at Kang Yanning's leisurely look, Kang Yanyu said helplessly, "Then what are you going to do next? Is this lychee for you or for me?"
Are you from the Kang family?"
"Let's make sure first. Brother, I'll squat in the places mentioned. I don't want to wrongly accuse a girl." Her eyes darkened. "What's more, it's a girl whose family has suffered a lot."
"What if she is really a spy?"
Kang Yanning turned to look at her brother, and smiled suddenly, "What can Yanning have? If it is really a spy, it must be for the Kang family. Then I can give whatever they can give. This girl, I
She will be willing to do things for me."
It was the day to report again. Huaili took the time to carefully arrange the layout of the room, and slowly stood up and opened the door. She looked at the bright sunshine outside, but felt a deep haze in her heart. She turned around and locked the door.
.
Bai Zhi's bedroom was next to hers. Bai Zhi was returning to the house with a bag of cakes. She was always very popular. When she saw Huai Li walking out, she grabbed her and said, "Huai Li, you are finally going out for a walk."
." She handed the cake in her hand to Huai Li, "Miss, I told you not to stay in the house, and go out and see more. It's so boring for you to stay in the room all the time."
After spending a few days together with Huai Li, she already understood Bai Zhi's temperament. She did not refuse to take the pastry, and asked casually, "Is the lady still busy? The lady was kind enough to rescue me. I followed the lady, but nothing happened."
If I don’t do it and I can’t take care of her closely, I feel really uneasy.”
Bai Zhi listened to her words and comforted her, "Relax, the lady said that she has been busy recently. When she is done, she will take you to see the shop. There is plenty of room for you, so you can rest assured at home."
Let's stay here." After that, Bai Zhi waved her hand and walked to her room. "I won't tell you anymore. I went to many places with the lady today. The lady took a nap. Forsythia took my place. I also need to take a rest.
meeting."
Huaili hurriedly thanked Bai Zhi and returned to the room to put down the cakes. She sat in the room and waited quietly for a while. When there was no movement in the room next to her, she quietly closed the door. She went out and pretended to take a walk outside the door casually.
Then he slowly walked towards the door.
Bai Zhi looked through the window and saw Huai Li walking away. She quickly took a detour and ran to Kang Yanning's bedroom. She gasped and said, "Miss... Miss, as expected, Huai Li went out."
Kang Yanning raised the corners of her mouth and a narrow smile appeared in her eyes, "Go and tell Brother, I want to see who she is."
