The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, the servant came forward and reported: "My Master Li is here to see Princess Jingying."

The guard at the door recognized the Li family's servant and knew that it was Master Li who came here frequently, so he let the carriage in directly.

After entering and reaching the second door, I saw Jingying's maid Bingsui already waiting there.

When Bingsui saw Li Jian coming, she quickly invited him in.

Prince Jing built a Ninglu Garden next to the back garden of the palace specifically for Jingying to live in. The embroidered building inside had carved beams and painted buildings, and the style was very luxurious and magnificent.

Although she was just a concubine's daughter, her status in the prince's heart was no less than that of Yuying, the legitimate daughter.

Bing Sui brought Li Jian all the way to the courtyard and reported in, "Princess, Master Li is here."

Princess Jingying was wearing an elegant gauze dress and a jade orchid hairpin on her head. She was sitting on an embroidered cushion in front of the window, staring at the banana trees outside. When she heard the maid's report, she quickly turned around and said softly, "Come in!"

After Bingsui came out, she said to Li Jian, "Mr. Li, the princess wants you to come in."

Li Jian followed Bingsui in and saw the beautiful Jingying standing there. When she saw him coming in, she couldn't help but smile sweetly and said in a soft voice, "Brother Jian, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, so today I specially invited you to come over and play two games. I also want to discuss something with you."

Li Jian looked at her beautiful face with a smile as beautiful as a flower, listened to her soft and sweet voice, and could not help but be fascinated by this princess with golden branches and jade leaves...

He said to himself silently in his heart: "As long as I can marry this smart and beautiful girl, I will do it even if it means going through fire and water!"

Li Jian's handsome face showed a gentle smile, and he said in a clear voice: "Recently, my father asked me to review my lessons at home when I have time. One of his classmates is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy. If there is an opportunity in the future, he wants to recommend me to study with this gentleman so that I can find a job in the Ministry of Rites in the future."

Jingying raised her watery eyes and stared at him, saying: "It's right to listen to uncle, brother Jian, you are both handsome and talented. If you can get guidance from a famous teacher, your future will be limitless!

If you need anything in the future, I can say a few good words for you in front of my father.

My family is very familiar with Shan Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and his daughter often drinks tea with me. Your mother and I have been good sisters for many years, and we have known each other since childhood, so your business is my business. If there is anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to ask for help! "

After hearing her considerate words, Li Jian was deeply moved!

He looked at Jingying excitedly and said, "Ying'er, in my heart, you are not only my sister, but also the person closest to me in this world besides my mother!

I will never forget your deep affection for me!

If there is anything you need me to do, please let me know. No matter if it means climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of ​​fire, as long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation!"

Unexpectedly, after listening to this, Jingying lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, she raised her head, looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother Jian, I am worried about something now, can you help me..."

As she spoke, she began to sob, and her tears rolled down her pretty face like falling pearls, which made Li Jian feel very distressed!

He hurriedly comforted her, "Ying'er, since you regard me as your brother, you should tell me if you have any problems!

Although I am not as powerful as your brother, the Little Prince, I can still help you with some trivial matters. If you have any troubles, just tell me and don't keep them to yourself!"

Jingying raised her tearful face, looked at Li Jian and asked with a choked voice: "Really? Can you help me with everything?"

Li Jian nodded solemnly, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best!"

After hearing his promise, Jingying sobbed softly and said, "My father originally intended to marry me to Mr. Jiang, but who knew that my family had already found a marriage for him!

Although my mother and I seemed to enjoy a good life in the palace, we were bullied by everyone behind the scenes. Especially my younger sister Yuying, who relied on the fact that she was the legitimate daughter of Princess Jing and always opposed us. She would mock and ridicule us every time we met!

I am really fed up with this kind of depressing life and want to marry into a prominent family to avenge my mother and myself.

Who would have thought that after finally getting an opportunity, I would be rejected? How can I continue to live in this palace in the future... I will become the laughing stock of everyone in the palace!

I tossed and turned in bed many times at night and didn't want to live anymore. Rather than being laughed at like this, I might as well just die..."

After saying that, she burst into tears again.

Seeing her so weak and helpless, Li Jian couldn't help thinking of the words "I feel pity for her"...

Jingying's words also deeply touched Li Jian's heart, reminding him of what happened to him and his mother at home...

Yes, to outsiders they are all well-fed, well-clothed, glamorous young men and women, but the hardships and sufferings inside are not enough to be explained to outsiders, and others cannot understand the feeling.

Jingying's strong will and pride made her unwilling to be a daughter of a concubine for the rest of her life, and she was no exception. The eldest brother Li Yue was highly valued by his father since he was a child. He not only inherited his father's connections and resources from years of hard work in the officialdom, but also successfully married his boss's daughter. Now he is the hope of the family and his father's right-hand man.

On the other hand, although I grew up with no worries about food and clothing and was able to read and write, I could not compare to my elder brother's status and position in the family. Compared with him, I was at best a idle young man. Let alone a career in politics, I didn't even have the chance to enter officialdom!

It was because his eldest brother was the eldest son in the family, and he was just the son of a favorite concubine. His eldest brother's grandfather's family was also an official family, and his mother was sold to a wealthy family as a singer since she was a child. How could he rely on his mother's family?

So he knew from a young age that people are not equal, and if he wants to change his fate, he has to work hard on his own. When he heard Jingying's crying, he felt half sympathy and half hesitation.

If I help her, I will lose this opportunity to make a fortune. If she successfully marries Mr. Jiang, there will be no hope for us.

But if I reject her directly, I will probably lose her immediately. Instead of that, I might as well help her, so that at least the relationship between brother and sister will still exist.

After a long silence, Li Jian said, "Ying'er, tell me what you think. I will definitely help you if I can!"

Jingying, who was sobbing, immediately raised her head and said in a tone of disbelief, "Really? No matter what it is, you are willing to help me?"

Li Jian looked at her soft face and nodded solemnly!

Jingying smiled brightly as soon as she heard this, and said tenderly and cutely like when she was a child: "Brother Jian is the best to me!"
