"After two days of autumn, let Lu Ming go and follow my brother for now!" After convincing Fu Mingyan, Mingyi turned to the next step. She thought it would be a matter of course, but she didn't know that after she finished speaking, the other party didn't respond at frowned suspiciously and glanced over, "What?"
Brothers Lu Zhao and Lu Ming immediately clasped their fists and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My two brothers were ordered by the Grand Governor to protect the Princess Zhou. Qiu Xi is in the mountains and forests, and everything is changing. Forgive us that we cannot leave the princess."
Mingyi didn't expect to hit a soft nail. She didn't say anything for a long time, just looking at the Lu brothers. After a while, even Lu Ming couldn't hold it anymore. When she frequently glanced at Lu Zhao, she said quietly, "Does the Governor know about the help I asked you for a few days ago?"
The two Lu Zhao brothers looked at each other without saying a word.
Mingyi didn't need them to say anything, it had been so many days, how could Xue Lin not know?She nodded, "I understand. It seems that I am not qualified to command the Grand Governor."
"The princess misunderstood. The governor said that if our people are useful to the princess, they can only be dispatched. But we two brothers are indeed responsible for the safety of the princess and cannot leave our posts without permission." Lu Zhao said hurriedly.
Mingyi's eyes flickered and she caught the key point of Lu Zhao's words, "In other words, as long as you two brothers are not moved, I can borrow another master to help my brother?"
Lu Zhao hesitated, but said, "That's right."
"In that case, you can pick someone for me. He should be good at skills and smart. Don't let my brother lead you by the nose. Instead, you should pay more attention to him." Mingyi made requests one by one without politeness. Finally, he blinked innocently and looked at Lu Zhao, "Okay?"
Can he say no?Lu Zhao choked, "Please tell me to go down and let them pick the person!"
"Thank you." Mingyi leaned forward and smiled.
"I don't dare." Lu Zhao and Lu Ming bowed their really don’t only because this was the future wife of the Governor, but also because they really did not dare to underestimate this little princess.
Two days before the Autumn Festival, Mingyi led a man who looked thin but was actually capable to Fu Mingyan. "Brother, this is the guard I borrowed for you. His name is Jia San. He is very skilled. He will be assigned to him during the Autumn Festival." Shall I follow you?"
"Why are you so troublesome? Are you still worried that I can't protect myself?" Fu Mingyan snorted.
"Brother, just accept the person and remember what you promised me. I will create opportunities for you and Sister Suho to be alone. In the dense forest on the hunting ground, you should follow His Highness the Crown Prince closely and take Jia San with you."
Fu Mingyan thought of Luo Suhe, swallowed the rejection, and hummed, "You and the head of Shoukang County have a good relationship, and you still have to worry about her fiancée's safety."
The annual Autumn Festival is a rule set by Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, due to the disasters this year, Emperor Chongning was considerate of the people and kept everything simple for the Autumn Festival. Not only did the number of people brought there be reduced by [-] to [-]% compared with previous years, but even the duration was reduced. It has also been shortened from half a month in previous years to seven days.
Mingyi and An Qian rode in the same car, followed closely behind the holy driver, and wandered towards the hunting ground.
During her more than 20 years as Li Fengjiao, Mingyi had been to the Royal Hunting Ground many times. She was not curious about the hunting ground, but she had something to do. Even though she had done everything she could, she still couldn't help but worry. She couldn't help but sigh as she thought about it. , raised her eyes and met An Qian's eyes squinting at her across from her. She was startled and frowned slightly, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I thought you wouldn't go to Qiuyi, but I didn't expect... you have really changed a lot." An Qian snorted softly. "Maybe this is the real me!" Mingyi responded softly. Anyway, both Li Fengjiao and An Qian thought they knew Fu Mingyi's appearance in front of others.
As expected, An Qian was slightly startled, her brows furrowed, but she didn't say anything else.
Mingyi said lightly, "Besides, Gillian can't come this time. She told me to stay with you."
Originally, the wedding ceremony of a country's crown prince was very cumbersome, and it might take a year to complete all the items. However, Emperor Chongning Xu was busy with his grandson, so he took advantage of this year's disaster and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the prince's wedding. Everything was kept simple, and the marriage was meant to bring joy to the great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the auspicious date from the time the marriage was given to the time it was set was only half a year, and the wedding would be completed by the end of the Mingyi's point of view, it was a good thing that the marriage was settled, but she was afraid that An Qian would feel aggrieved.
"It's Gillian who thought about it too much. Thank you for your thoughtfulness." After hearing Mingyi's words, An Qian's face turned slightly red and shy, but she was not displeased. This made Mingyi quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"But speaking of Gillian, have you ever tried to persuade her?" An Qian was shy for a moment, then her expression became serious, and her eyes suddenly became sharp when she looked at Mingyi.
"Why do you want to persuade her?" Regarding this point, Mingyi was completely on Li Fengjiao's side. Seeing An Qian's eyebrows furrowed and her eyes full of disapproval, she said calmly, "Gillian doesn't have to marry her." No matter who you marry, you will be a general, so why bother? Who said that women must marry? If Gillian refuses to marry, Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you all have the confidence to do so. Will she still have a bad life?" And if the Zhou Dynasty overturns, will the eggs be intact under the nest?Rather than being given away like an object by an irresponsible bastard like Chu Yanqing like in the previous life, it is better to be at ease, not to be taken advantage of, and to be able to live and die independently.
After hearing Mingyi's words, An Qian was speechless for a long time, but her eyes looked at Mingyi thoughtfully, and her eyes became darker and darker, "You said that women don't have to marry, but you want to marry Xue Da." Governor, and Governor Xue also values you very much. Haven’t you never seen it before? This makes people a little curious..."
Because Mingyi was well-informed when Li Fengjiao disappeared, An Qian had already become suspicious and knew that Mingyi had someone available, but she was not necessarily sure whether the people Mingyi used came from Jiyang Prince's Palace or Xue Lin. Therefore, she Use words to test.
Mingyi didn't show any panic, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a few guards sent by Governor Xue to protect me." Seeing that An Qian not only did not clear up her doubts, but her eyes became more suspicious, Mingyi Before she could ask, she chuckled and said, "That day at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, I was assassinated in the palace. Fortunately, I was lucky and did not die."
An Qian was suddenly startled, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was frightened at the time. How could I still remember this? It was my father who informed His Majesty about this matter. His Majesty must have communicated with Governor Xue again, so he sent someone to come to me. It happened to be that he sent someone to my side. It's useful." She didn't want to completely hide the assassination in the palace, so she wrote to Xue Lin at that time and expressed her don’t know what Xue Lin was thinking, but he actually followed her wishes and communicated with Emperor Chongning, allowing Lu Zhao and others to pass through.
"Your Majesty knows?" An Qian really didn't expect it to be like this, but her tone had changed, she was no longer suspicious, and she was back to her usual closeness, "But who is the person behind it? Has anyone found out?"
Mingyi shook her head slightly.
"I'm afraid that someone wants to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and Governor Xue, so he set up this situation..." An Qian murmured. If Governor Xue's fiancée was assassinated in the palace, even if he and his fiancée may not have any friendship, I'm afraid He will also have a grudge with the royal family, "Mingyi, you must be extremely careful. If there is anything wrong, remember to tell me."
Mingyi nodded and said nothing more. An Qian was about to become a royal wife, and the princess's thoughts were naturally different from those before.
