Wealth and glory seek stability

It seems that she can't get married.

Thinking of the beautiful woman at the polo match that day, if she was born in the Xuanwu Dynasty, she would definitely have a great fortune.

The men of the Xuanwu Dynasty were all arrogant. After marrying a woman, they would just let her live in the backyard like a livestock. It was really unpleasant.

She married Xuanyuan Zangzhen, and if she wanted to get power, she could only do so through Xuanyuan Zangzhen. The most urgent task was to create a fight between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin.

If Gao Yunhuai and Jian Xi get married, the Prince of Jin's faction will have the support of Shen Nanxing, and with the support of Prime Minister Zhao's civil servants, the Crown Prince will have no chance of winning.

"Yinping, come closer."

The two of them whispered to each other.

Yinping received the order and went out to make arrangements immediately.

Everything happened quietly, but it seemed like something had changed.

Painted Water Pavilion.

Master Mo Shoujian and his disciples left quietly. Without the three of them, the huge Shen Mansion continued to function normally and no one noticed.

Jian Xi felt a little nervous for no reason.

Dongfang Wenying can't sit still, Shen Nanxing is in the military camp every day, and there are so many things to do at home every day. Jian Xi likes quietness, so she doesn't want to disturb him too much.

In fact, Jian Xi doesn't like to put on makeup, study clothes and even make tea and taste incense, she just watches the maids around her do it. She only likes to do more stimulating exercises.

Apart from daily practice and the polo match that day, there was nothing else that could make her so happy.

The Xuanyuan Dynasty attached great importance to the separation of men and women, and few women were interested in stimulating sports. All she did was lie in bed and get bored every day, watching Zi Cui and others help her prepare her dowry.

It just so happened that Shen Nanxing felt sorry for Jian Xi and said that after she got married, she would have fewer opportunities to go out and play, so she asked Dongfang Wenying to take Jian Xi out for a good walk.

It was a beautiful spring day, so she made an appointment with Jian Xi to go out to the Jade Buddha Temple in Xishan to burn incense.

Jian Xi guessed that the noble ladies liked to burn incense probably because they didn't have much chance to go out on a normal day. Most temples were located in the mountains, far away from people, so one could enjoy the beautiful scenery and, if lucky, visit the market at the foot of the mountain.

The first day of May is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. There are many smiles in front of customers, and the country girls are tired and blushing.

The market at the foot of Xishan Mountain is bustling.

Dongfang Wenying and Jian Xi were sitting in the same carriage.

Perhaps because she felt uncomfortable being confined at home, Dongfang Wenying specially prepared two veil hats, one for her and Jian Xi to wear.

He excitedly pulled Jian Xi into the market, where many of the things were things she had never seen before.

Jian Xi felt a little uneasy looking at the crowds of people around her, but Dongfang Wenying was very excited.

"Sister, you finally get to go out, you should play more. My mother used to control me, and I had never seen a market before. Look at this clay figurine, it's really beautiful."

When going out, Dongfang Wenying never calls Jian Xi by her name. The name of a lady from a noble family is relatively private and only people close to her know it.

The old man who was making clay figures looked at the two nobles in front of him who were dressed in extraordinary clothes and became extremely alert.

These nobles were very generous and if they were flattered, the rewards they gave would be more than what he earned in a day.

"Take a look, my lord. If you like it, I can make one in your likeness."

"Really?!" Dongfang Wenying was surprised, but her last bit of rationality reminded herself that she came out today to accompany Jian Xi to relax, and she couldn't take the spotlight.

Jian Xi laughed, "If you like it, ask him to make one for you. I played with this toy when I was a child. You wait here, I'll go to other stalls." In her eyes, Dongfang Wenying is still a child.

Dongfang Wenying nodded hurriedly, and did not forget to instruct the servants to follow Jian Xi closely.

She was waiting at the stall. The stall owner was very skilled and he could identify the characteristics of Dongfang Wenying with just one glance through the veil.

Dongfang Wenying pinched the dough figurine and turned around with a smile to look for Jian Xi.

"Sister, do you think this face is good-looking?"

Jian Xi said nothing but nodded slightly.

Dongfang Wenying held Jian Xi's hand, but the touch was not as soft as usual.

Jian Xi is good at embroidery, and usually pays the most attention to the maintenance of her hand skin in order to maintain the feel.

However, she did not think much about it. She just thought that Jian Xi was too busy these two days and had not taken care of herself, so she took Jian Xi's hand and got on the carriage.

The two entered the Jade Buddha Temple.

There was only a little novice monk leading the way. The people most frequently coming and going at the Jade Buddha Temple were the women from the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, and the little novice monks there had all seen the world.

Dongfang Wenying just felt that Jian Xi was depressed along the way and didn't talk to her.

"Young Master, is there a meditation room in this temple? We would like to take a rest before we go to worship Buddha."

"Amitabha, yes, please follow me."

Inside the Zen room, Dongfang Wenying took off her veil and saw Jian Xi standing there motionless.

He raised his hand to help her take it off.

Jian Xi brushed away Dongfang Wenying's hand first, and with a flash of her body, the four maids who were serving her fell to the ground.

Dongfang Wenying's eyes widened and she said in horror: "Who are you? You are not Xier!"

The person behind the veil did not speak.

Dongfang Wenying moved her body and wanted to go to the table, smash the cups and call for help.

The person under the veil did not give her this opportunity.

He made a knife-shaped hand and chopped hard at Dongfang Wenying.

In just a moment, Dongfang Wenying fainted on the ground.

The person lowered his veil and turned out to be Zhang Cen'er's personal maid Yin Ping.

To be on the safe side, Yinping took out a bottle from her bosom and put it under the noses of several people to let them sniff.

He took off his outer clothes, put on a blue linen robe, and slipped out of the window next to the Zen room.

Everything was done silently. Jian Xi was drugged and sent to a boat at the foot of the West Mountain.

Yinping arrived and was relieved when he confirmed that the person he had arrested was not the wrong one.

One thing after another, she kept her mind tense the whole time.

Looking at the secret guard Yin Jiu who was rowing the boat in front of him, there were two dark spots on his face, "What? Is it even more impressive?"
