The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

In the dark room, Huo Yunjue leisurely played with the jade flute in his hand, and soon a person walked in from outside.

"Your Highness, did you use a secret whistle?" The person who came was none other than Cao Huan.

"Uncle Cao, you're here!" Huo Yunjue inserted the jade flute into his waist.

"I don't want to use the secret whistle unless it is absolutely necessary." Huo Yunjue explained to him.

"You have always done things safely, but I am afraid that the second prince will notice it. Now that His Majesty has agreed to cancel Yan Yan's marriage, I am afraid that the second prince will hold a grudge. Recently, I have restrained myself and stopped pursuing it any further." Cao Huan was worried.

"Uncle Cao, my second brother did this too recklessly. The amount of fine iron they sold privately was huge. In order to avoid the government's inspection, they chose to take the southern waterway. Not to mention detouring more than half of the journey, it was still smooth. Passing through the checkpoints of Nanyao Kingdom, there is no huge benefit, so he would take such a risk?"

"What His Highness said is true. The situation between the DPRK and China is becoming increasingly tense. The Crown Prince appears calm on the surface, but secretly he is secretly competing with the Second Prince. Although the Fifth Prince is young and unscrupulous, Your Highness is caught between them and has not made his position clear. . If you are not careful, you may become a victim of the power struggle."

"And there is not enough evidence to prove that the second prince did it. I hope His Highness will consider it carefully!"

Cao Huan knew that Emperor Yao needed to balance the situation and would not allow any party to dominate.Although the Crown Prince has a legitimate name, he is always wary of the Qianye Kingdom behind the Second Prince's mother and concubine.They were eager to support the second prince to ascend the throne so that they could take over the Nanyao Kingdom.

"Uncle Cao, don't worry, I will be careful." Huo Yunjue's eyes were calm and there was no expression on his face.

"My father is very thoughtful, and it is difficult for us to guess his intentions. And now that Yan Yan no longer has to marry the second prince, my father's move has no meaning."

"I know that Your Majesty has always wanted to test the second prince. Yanyan may not be happy if she marries him. The position of concubine is just a face. I just didn't expect that Yanyan would belong to someone. This is good, and she doesn't have to marry into the royal family. , it will not be involved in the struggle between the princes."

Cao Huan was filled with emotion.

Emperor Yao is a king after all. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. That is absolutely correct.

After the two ended their conversation, Huo Yunjue received a report from the spies: traces of rogue bandits were found in the Jiuxi Mountain area on the outskirts of Beijing. He immediately led a team of Golden Wings out of the city to search.

When he searched a separate courtyard, he saw several familiar figures.

Cao Yanyan and Ning Ziqing were placing paper kites on an empty grassland. Song Yu was sitting on his knees under the peach tree making tea. There was a blanket spread on the grass next to him and filled with food boxes.

In May, late spring and early summer, the climate is warm and pleasant, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the lush green trees are shady, and the scenery is full of vitality.

Ning Ziqing is wearing a green lotus-colored chest-length skirt. Her face is as bright as jade, her eyes are bright and clear, and her figure is delicate and charming.She held the spool in one hand and slowly released the thin thread with the other hand. The paper kite soared in the sky, flying higher and higher.Her mood also became happy, as if she was flying happily in the blue sky with the flying paper kites.

"Little fairy, your paper kites are going to surpass mine!" Cao Yanyan pointed at the two paper kites floating in the air and smiled at Ning Ziqing.

"Mr. Song, you must lose the bet, my paper kite is about to surpass Sister Cao!" Ning Ziqing continued to put the line, her eyebrows were crooked, and she laughed heartily.

Huo Yunjue looked at them from a distance, feeling relaxed and happy in his heart. He couldn't help but smile. He dismounted slowly and walked towards them.

"Miss Third is so smart that no one can beat her!" Song Yu joked.

"Song Yu, you are trying to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Until the end, you don't know who will lose and who will win!" Cao Yanyan scolded Song Yu unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, come on, Miss Cao, I'm optimistic about you!" Song Yu poured the cooked tea into the cup and called the two of them over.

"The tea is ready, come here and take a rest!"

When Cao Yanyan and Ning Ziqing heard Song Yu calling them to drink tea, they handed the spool in their hands to the maid aside, walked over and sat down beside Song Yu easily.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter!" Cao Yanyan picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"It's time to drink ice water later." Ning Ziqing said with a smile, taking a few sips of tea.

"It's better not to be too cold on this day, or you may get sick." Song Yu reminded.

"Mr. Song, why are you so careful?" Ning Ziqing sighed, "I'm not even married yet, but you care so much about Sister Cao. I'm jealous of you."

Ning Ziqing deliberately made a playful move, causing Cao Yanyan to pretend to be angry and tickle her. Ning Ziqing dodged and begged for mercy. Amidst laughter and laughter, the three of them enjoyed a leisurely time.

Until Song Yu saw Huo Yunjue coming.

"Fourth Highness, why are you here?" Ning Ziqing and Cao Yanyan followed his voice and saw Huo Yunjue walking over in a purple brocade robe with dark patterns.

Ning Ziqing's face was startled and she saluted him. Cao Yanyan and Song Yu also bowed to him.

"I have seen the Fourth Highness."

"I was ordered to track down the bandits who passed by here. I came here to ask for a cup of tea because I was thirsty. I didn't disturb you, right?" Huo Yunjue said with a smile. He glanced at Ning Ziqing with a faint smile in his eyes.

"No need to disturb, please, Your Highness!" Song Yu enthusiastically poured him a cup of tea and invited him to drink it.

"These bandits are so rampant that they all came to the vicinity of Kyoto in a blink of an eye." Cao Yanyan sighed with a slight frown.

"I'm afraid they will sneak into the city and plot evil!"

Huo Yunjue drank the tea in a big gulp and motioned to Song Yu to pour him another cup.

"Your Highness is working hard too. Why don't you finish lunch with us before going to search. We have prepared some food."

Song Yu invited him enthusiastically.

"Would it bother you too much?"

A smile appeared on Huo Yunjue's lips, and he glanced at Ning Ziqing specifically. Ning Ziqing remained silent, a little displeased in her heart, wishing that he would leave quickly.

"Your Highness is very polite, please feel free to do so."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Huo Yunjue graciously accepted Song Yu's invitation.

Ning Ziqing scolded Song Yu from beginning to end in her heart. The look in her eyes was clearly too disturbing.

Several people sat around on blankets and enjoyed food from the food boxes.Song Yu opened a delicate food box in front of him, picked up a piece of pastry from it and handed it to Ning Ziqing.

"Miss Third, try this quickly. I heard from Yanyan that you like cakes, so I went to Fubaozhai to buy them for you."

"Thank you Mr. Song. I don't know how to take care of the potted plants you sent me a few days ago. You can teach me some other time." Ning Ziqing happily took the cake and smiled at Song Yu.

Huo Yunjue snatched the cake from her hand and his face turned cold.

"I want to try it too!" He took a bite without politeness.

Song Yu and Ning Ziqing looked at each other.

No matter what Song Yu handed Ning Ziqing later, Huo Yunjue snatched it away first. Song Yu felt a hint of hostility from him and stopped his hand knowingly. Cao Yanyan looked at the three of them and always felt that they were weird.

"What's going on, Your Highness?" she asked Song Yu next to her quietly.

"Perhaps you are jealous." Song Yu whispered back to her, but Cao Yanyan didn't understand. She was obviously not jealous today.

Being disturbed by Huo Yunjue, Ning Ziqing lost her appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, she excused herself to walk by the stream to eat.Cao Yanyan wanted to go with her, but was stopped by Song Yu.

Afterwards, Huo Yunjue also stood up and followed.

"You are so strange!" Cao Yanyan's face was full of confusion.
