There is something unfinished in Mama Cheng's words, so there is no need to ask, Ji Xiaotang already knows it.⊥,

When they returned to Xinhua Hall, everyone knew that Ji Xiaotang went well in the palace this time, and they were all very happy.

On the same day when Ji Xiaotang was named the Lord of Anle County, another palace servant sent an imperial edict to the Jing'an Palace. In this imperial edict, the royal family officially recognized Xie Huaijin as the descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and gave Xie Huaijin the title of Shunyi Bo and was given another residence in the Boye Mansion.

From then on, Xie Huaijin was officially renamed Qi Huaijin.

Boye’s mansion is located in Yaowangmiao Hutong in the capital, and all the mansions should be complete. Therefore, on the day the imperial edict was issued, Shunyi Bo was moved out of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion and moved to Shunyi Boye’s Mansion to live.

Yaowang Temple Hutong is very far away from the Jing'an Palace, but not far from Xinhua Hall.

Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun were both secretly happy when they heard the news.

However, it is not easy for Shunyi Bo to go out to visit friends, or the Ji family to visit Shunyi Bo's mansion.

Ji Xiaotang thought about it repeatedly and had to ask Qin Zhen for his head.

Since he met Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaotang rarely asked Qin Zhen for help, and Qin Zhen never refused Ji Xiaotang's request. However, this time, Qin Zhen was in trouble.

Although he was in a dilemma, Qin Zhen thought about it and nodded to Ji Xiaotang: "Don't be impatient with Xiaotang, let me have some time to think of a solution."

Seeing Qin Zhen like this, Ji Xiaotang knew that this was very difficult for Qin Zhen to handle. She had no one to ask for, and she had a little extravagant hope. If she caused trouble for Qin Zhen, she would not want to see it.

"...I thought about the matter..." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Qin Zhen, "It's too simple. It was the prince who first identified Huai Jin's identity and brought Huai Jin to Beijing, and he still stayed in the palace for so many days. I'm afraid that someone has already suspected the prince."

After the imperial edict came out, Shunyi Bo was immediately moved out of the royal palace. It was precisely because of this that Qin Zhen followed the situation and obviously he also wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Now Huaijin has moved to Yaowangmiao Hutong, and all parties are staring at it. The prince should not move lightly, so he will not be caught and take the opportunity to cause trouble."

This time, the Qin Dynasty was in trouble with internal and external troubles, and the royal relatives and civil and military officials of the court were all over the court. In addition to Qi Younian, Qin Zhen made the greatest contribution and won the highest reputation among the people.

The so-called great achievements shocked the Lord, not to mention that there is another force in the court that has been secretly competing with the Jing'an Palace.

Qin Zhen was very pleased when Ji Xiaotang said this, and felt that Ji Xiaotang not only understood the situation clearly, but also understood him very well.

"The guy who started the kid will never stop. Even if I don't do anything, they will find a reason to make things difficult. Although this matter is difficult to handle in a hurry, I will let me arrange it for you."

Qin Zhen still took this matter out.

However, Ji Xiaotang had made up his mind at this moment and did not use Qin Zhen's power in this matter.

"Then Xiaotang has any other plans?" Qin Zhen did not insist, but just asked curiously.

"Your Majesty can guess it just by thinking about it." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Oh..." Qin Zhen thought for a moment and guessed it. Not long after Ji Xiaotang entered Beijing, there were only a few people who could move and work hard on this matter. "Do Xiaotang plan to seek help from Changning?"

"Yes.⊥," Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"I heard that you get along well with Changning." Qin Zhen's eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's cheek. On the twelfth lunar month, Ji Xiaotang's face added a little bit of flesh, and his pretty face became whiter and redder, making him look more cute and cute.

It is precisely because he knows that Ji Xiaotang and Changning get along well and knows Changning's personality that Qin Zhen did not make any additional maintenance arrangements on the day Ji Xiaotang entered the palace.

"Although you and Changning are still short, her temperament cannot escape your eyes. Xiaotang, it is better to look for me than to find her."

"The prince is not as quiet as he moves at this moment." Ji Xiaotang said seriously. Qin Zhen returned to the capital, and although the palace gave a lot of rewards, he did not arrange any important responsibilities for Qin Zhen during this kind of employment, let alone send him out of the capital.

At the same time, Prince Jingsu Qin Lin, who had been lying in charge of illness, suddenly recovered and began to go to court to discuss matters. Recently, there was a vague news that Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing planned to send Qin Lin out of Beijing to work.

"I will deal with this matter properly, so please don't worry."

"I am idle now. I am happy to be able to help Xiaotang with my business." Qin Zhen said with a smile.

No matter what Qin Zhen said, Ji Xiaotang refused firmly.

Qin Zhen looked unwilling to accept his expression. His eyes became deeper and deeper when he looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang said goodbye from Qin Zhen and frowned after getting on the carriage.

Regarding the matter of Shunyi Bo, Qin Zhen was too positive and expressed his feelings a little explicitly. Perhaps what Empress Dowager Han said that day was not false. Qin Zhen did mention her many times in front of Empress Dowager Han.

Ji Xiaotang understood Qin Zhen’s plan.

She always believed that she had a cooperative relationship with Qin Zhen. She could do her best to assist Qin Zhen in other matters, but she could not do it in this matter. This is why she had to look far and go to Changning.

Before Ji Xiaotang could go to Changning, Changning's post arrived. Changning invited Ji Xiaotang to the tea party.

Only Ji Xiaotang received the post in Xinhuatang, and Ji Xiaolian was not invited this time.

"If you don't go to this tea party, don't go. We have more important things." Ji Xiaolian was unhappy, so Mrs. Ji advised Ji Xiaolian.

"The princess no longer invites me, even if she annoyed me last time. It must be Xiaotang that time that time she entered the palace, and I don't know what she said to me in front of Changning." Ji Xiaolian blamed Ji Xiaotang without any basis. "What more important thing is that Xiaotang is still counting on. I'm afraid it won't work."

Mrs. Ji knew that Ji Xiaolian was angry, but she really regarded Ji Xiaotang as a threat in her heart.

"Don't be anxious, mom has his own way." Mrs. Ji said a few words in Ji Xiaolian's ear in a low voice.

Ji Xiaolian immediately turned angry and happy: "Mom, is this true?"

"Can you still lie to you?" Mrs. Ji smiled and said angrily, "It's true."

"But Xiaotang will go there at that time." Ji Xiaolian was happy for a while, then worried again.

"I have my own way to let her go." Mrs. Ji was confident and told Ji Xiaolian, "It's you that you should be well prepared. If things are done, why care about Xiaotang?"

"My mother is right. ()" Ji Xiaolian happily went to prepare. When she went out, she happened to meet Ji Xiaotang who came to meet Mrs. Ji.

"What are the happy events for my elder sister? I'm so happy?" Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Xiaolian. According to Ji Xiaolian's temperament, even if she was not angry and embarrassed, her face was not much better, so how could she be full of joy?

"What happy events can I have?" Ji Xiaolian said immediately, "I am happy for Xiaotang when she knows that Xiaotang is going to the princess's tea party."

Ji Xiaotang didn't believe her when she said this. However, she still responded with a smile.

When he arrived at Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji had a gentle attitude towards Ji Xiaotang and showed respect. After all, Ji Xiaotang is now a second-rank county lord. Although she had long said that her family did not need to be polite, Mrs. Ji still did not dare to be proud in front of Ji Xiaotang.

"...All the answers are ready. Xiaotang see what is not suitable for her, and I will ask someone to make changes immediately." Mrs. Ji took the initiative to talk about Ji Xiaotang's arrangements for going out.

"Auntie's arrangements are naturally appropriate." Ji Xiaotang didn't care about this. She knew that Mrs. Ji would never tamper with this.

"It's good if Xiaotang is satisfied." Mrs. Ji smiled and said slowly to Ji Xiaotang. "Although Xiaolian is a few years older, she has been spoiled by me and the master. She is still childish and ignorant. She occasionally dares to hide it from me and act willfully. She also asks Xiaotang not to be as good as her. What's wrong with her? Just tell me, I'll teach her a lesson! Xinhuatang is a family!"

"The eldest aunt is right."

Seeing Ji Xiaotang's gentle expression, Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang again: "... She accidentally annoyed the princess for a while. In fact, it is not a big deal. If Xiaotang has the chance, she can say a good thing for Xiaolian, Xiaolian will not benefit from it. You sisters come in and out together, and take more care of you."

"The eldest aunt is too worried." Ji Xiaotang smiled. "In my opinion, the princess has a very good temperament, I'm afraid she has forgotten what happened that day. I didn't call her elder sister this time, it should be because of other reasons, not to annoy her elder sister."

"This is the best." Mrs. Ji, of course, could not say that Changning was not good, just felt that Ji Xiaotang was not sloppy and she was even more suspicious that she and Mrs. Ji Er had already had a plan.

This tea party is still in Deyue Tower.

Ji Xiaotang arrived a quarter of an hour earlier as agreed, but Changning arrived earlier than her. As expected, there were fewer people in this tea party than last time. In addition to Ji Xiaotang, there were only Yang Pianpian, Zheng Zi and Wu Jiayan.

Everyone greeted each other, and Changning asked Ji Xiaotang to sit with him affectionately. The palace maid poured tea, and Changning pulled Ji Xiaotang to talk about Qingyuan and Qi Younian again.

This time, Ji Xiaotang focused on the story of Qi Younian ambushing the rebels at the junction of Ren'an and Taiyuan prefectures and protecting food and grass. She spoke vividly, and Changning and others were almost stunned when they heard it.

"How did the Lord Anle County Master know so clearly, as if he was there?" Zheng Zi came to his senses and asked Ji Xiaotang.

Changning completely believed what Ji Xiaotang said, but when he heard Zheng Zi’s question, he looked at Ji Xiaotang and expected her answer.

"...In the battle of Eagle Jumping Gorge, my martial arts and guards were on the spot. My grandfather and uncles followed Lord Qi to fight. Therefore, I knew more about the battle situation at that time than others." Ji Xiaotang replied with a smile.

"So that's it." Changning and others suddenly realized.

"I really want to bring you into the palace and live with me for a month, and tell me everything you know." Changning said eagerly, "Xiaotang, you don't know. The old antiques in the court that can only be written on are really hateful!"

Changning talked about court officials and government affairs, but Ji Xiaotang only smiled and listened without answering.

Yang Pianpian and others also closed their mouths.

Qi Younian led a large army to Lintong, and he had a little rest and was about to enter Shu soon.

"...What is the marching time that is too slow and it will be a chance to fight! They are not considered a journey of thousands of miles. Even if the army grows wings, they cannot fly to Shuzhong so quickly." Changning angrily, "and urged Ayou to fight. These nerds who only know how to talk about war on paper will definitely be defeated if they listen to them. Only by following Ayou's strategy can we pacify Shuzhong!"

"As long as the emperor and the queen mother support him, there will be some differences in the court, and it should be fine." Ji Xiaotang said tactfully, in fact, he was inquiring about the attitudes of Queen Mother Han and Emperor Longqing towards Qi Younian's strategy.

"My mother and the emperor naturally support Ayou!" Changning said immediately.

She answered so quickly, but her expression was a little confused. Ji Xiaotang could see clearly and knew that she was insincere.

Did Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing also support the war? This is a problem.

What Ji Xiaotang didn't know at this moment was that Changning angered Empress Dowager Han because he strongly supported Qi Younian in front of Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing, and even made some small moves, so he annoyed Empress Dowager Han. He was scolded for interfering in the government affairs, so he was forbidden to copy scriptures in the palace.

Few people in the harem knew about this matter, and Empress Dowager Han issued a ban order again. So it was so concealed. After all, if this matter was heard by the censor, it would be difficult to get a divorce. Empress Dowager Han might not be able to protect her daughter, and she also felt that Changning did something wrong.

Of course, not long after, Ji Xiaotang still knew about this. What she also knew was that the reason why Empress Dowager Han punished Changning was not because she was worried that court officials would discuss and impeach censors, but because of another person.

"The fourth brother also supports Ayou. We will definitely convince our mother and the emperor." Maybe he felt that Ji Xiaotang was closer to her and had received the favor from Qi Younian, so he naturally stood on Qi Younian's side. After Changning finished speaking the above words, he thought about it and then put it in Ji Xiaotang's ear and said again.

When Changning said this, his eyes glanced at Zheng Zi. It seemed that she didn't want Zheng Zi to know about this sentence.

"The princess and the prince will definitely succeed." Ji Xiaotang said sincerely.

"Xiaotang, do you also think Ayou's strategy is good, right?" Changning said more eagerly.

"I heard from my grandfather about his actions in Shuzhong, and from my father's analysis, Lord Qi set the best strategy." Ji Xiaotang did not hide the position of the Ji family. Master Ji and Master Ji Er were both officials in the same dynasty, and both were ranked in the fourth rank, which was also a great force.

Changning even felt that Ji Xiaotang was her confidant, and her mood became clearer because of Ji Xiaotang's words.

Ji Xiaotang was in a good mood when he saw Changning, and knew that the opportunity was rare.

"Mr. Qi is not only a god of war in the army, but also a Confucian general, with outstanding knowledge and political views. It is also Master Qi's idea to take Shunyi Bo to the capital to treat him well."
