The capital is a circle, and as long as you pay attention, you can discover the inextricable connections between them.

Shi Anxia learned from Zheng Qiaoer's words that this young master of the Ma family was not the young master of the other Ma family. But it's not that far apart, because they are twins.

Ma Chuyi, known as "Little General Ma", grew up with his father in the border area. Now that he has been transferred back to the capital and joined the Dongyu Guards, responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city, his future is limitless.

The younger brother, Ma Chuyang, who followed Tang Xinghe all day long among the dandy men, and was forced to attend the Spring Festival by his family.

Shi Anxia had a hunch that Ma Chuyang would definitely follow Tang Xinghe to "Yunqi Academy".

In this way, it will be easier to disturb the marriage between General Ma Xiao and Rong Yan.

Zheng Qiaoer's eyebrows relaxed as her thoughts settled. Facing her niece, who had not yet had haircuts, she already treated her as a peer and started chatting about family matters.

Shi Anxia listened quietly and responded from time to time. He found that there were many people and things in the capital that he had never paid attention to, so he listened with great interest.

At the end, Zheng Qiaoer remembered something new, "Are you saying it's funny? Over there, His Highness the King of Jin was banned for three months, and here Master Liu claimed to be ill and recuperated at home. His eldest daughter was even sent out of the city in the evening, saying She is going back to her hometown to discuss the marriage. Earlier, I heard Mrs. Liu implicitly reveal that her daughter is the candidate for Princess Jin."

Shi Anxia smiled lightly, lowered her eyelids and said, "My aunt doesn't know something. Lord Liu's eldest daughter Liu Jingyu is very fond of King Jin. She must have stolen the lantern riddles with someone from the Imperial Guard Division and gave them to King Jin, and got the Certain promises made by King Jin."

If she hadn't caused trouble last night, King Jin would have succeeded in breaking through like he did in his previous life, becoming famous and winning the mahogany palace lantern.

The rumors in the streets today should all be about the praise of King Jin. And Liu Jingyu was able to marry King Jin as promised and become Princess Jin.

Now that Liu Jingyu has implicated her father, the King of Jin is disgraced, and everything is different from the past.

Emperor Mingde must have found out the truth and will suppress the matter for the sake of royal face, but those who deserve punishment will naturally be punished.

Zheng Qiaoer saw that her niece was used to knowing many things very well, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just sighed that "Prince Jin is too courageous." Today's emperor hates fraud the most, and this time he must have disliked Prince Jin.

Seeing that the night was deep, she stood up and said goodbye.

Shi Anxia sent his eldest aunt out of the Hou Mansion, but when he came back, he met Chen Yuan in the verandah who was about to go out.

The man changed from his usual black attire and wore a moon-white brocade robe, with a long body.

He was covered in long black fur, with a cold white complexion and cold eyes. He looked indescribably noble and heroic.

This was the first time Shi Anxia saw Chen Yuan dressed up like this, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "Are you going out this late at night?"

Chen Yuan stopped a foot away from her and gave a soft "hmm".

He never saluted her, and she seemed used to it.

And he really didn't look like a palace guard, "If nothing happens, I'll leave."

Shi Anxia put her hands in the warm sleeves and said, "I have something to do."

On his expressionless face, only the corners of his lips were raised proudly, and he did not speak.

Shi Anxia turned around and ordered Bei Hui and others who were following him, "You guys should stay away. I have something to say to Chen Yuan."

Bei Hui and others complied, but they could only retreat eight steps away. They couldn't hear what they said, but for the sake of the girl's reputation, they had to be present throughout the process.

Shi Anxia raised his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I don't believe that you are in the Marquis Mansion just for clan studies."

With such outstanding abilities, and the money at home to pave the way, even going to Wencang Academy is not out of the question. Why bother to study in this new clan in the Hou Mansion?

Chen Yuan lowered his eyebrows, and the girl's bright and stubborn look was burned into his pupils, "Then what exactly do I want?"

Shi Anxia shook her head in confusion, like a little girl who was inexperienced in the world, "I don't know, that's why I came to ask you."

"For, one person." He opened his thin lips lightly and spoke slowly, as if each word passed by a long time.

"Who?" She was extremely curious, "Have you ever known anyone from the Hou Mansion before?"

This time, he was silent for a long time.

Just when she thought he wouldn't answer, she suddenly said a calm word, "If I can be with her, I can probably offset all the grievances I have suffered in the world."

This seemed to be the longest and most complete thing he had said in a long time.

Although Shi Anxia didn't know who the "she" in his mouth was, and she didn't know how a powerful person like him had suffered any grievances, there was still a slight stir in her heart.

She raised a reproachful smile, "So that night when Ye Baoer blocked the road and asked me to rescue you, it was just a part of your way into the Hou Mansion."

Chen Yuan turned away and pursed his lips into a line.

Shi Anxia slowly put away her smile, her voice was slightly cold but not solemn, with a hint of a girl's dissatisfaction at being plotted against, "I don't care who you are doing for in the Hou Mansion, but remember, if you hurt me I won’t give up on people I care about.”

He turned his head, his eyes fell into her cold pool-like deep eyes, and after a moment, he frowned and asked, "You really don't recognize me?"

The wind blew by, and Shi Anxia shuddered, looking confused.

The girl standing in the corridor, with skin as cold as snow and a fluffy white fox fur, looked like a fox that had been practicing for thousands of years. She was looking at him with an inquiring gaze with her clear eyes.

"Forget it." He was about to leave coldly, but she grabbed him.

In her desperation, she didn't care about the defense between men and women. During this pull, his hand immediately let go, "Why don't you... remind me?"

Chen Yuan was a little helpless by the girl's stubbornness, "Do you have amnesia?"

The girl shook her head slightly, "No, I have a good memory."

"So this time you fell into the water and broke your head?"

She heard his teasing, but she still denied it seriously, "No, I'm fine. Like my brother, I have a photographic memory."

At this moment, she was like a child pestering him to find out.

Chen Yuan himself didn't realize it, but he unconsciously felt an indescribable softness, "Once I was being chased..."

She listened carefully and wanted to prick up her ears, not wanting to miss a single word.

It was to hear his deep voice that was indescribably sweet in the cold night, "Acrobatic troupe, broken skin drum."

As he spoke, his deep eyes stared at every change of expression on her face.

Her eyebrows are really beautiful, like the flowers in spring and the bright lights of last night. But the confusion in her eyes made the light in his eyes fade away little by little.

He crossed his arms, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and a hint of indifference and ridicule appeared at the corner of his lips, "I made it up."

Shi Anxia: "..."

The man stirred up a gust of wind and strode across the verandah, drifting away.

Shi Anxia looked at his slender and straight back, and for the first time, she couldn't help but want to hit someone.

It had been a long, long time since she had been in such a violent mood.

My heart suddenly beat wildly, uncontrollably.

Acrobatic troupe! Broken skin drum!

How did Chen Yuan know that she had lived in an acrobatic troupe?

There is indeed a broken drum in the acrobatic troupe. Every time she went on stage, Bei Hui moved up and down with her.

Shi Anxia waved back, "Come here Bei Hui, let me ask you..."
