The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

Qingzhu said, "It's Princess Yong. She invites you to come to her house to admire the lotus flowers during your day off the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Li took the invitation and glanced at it, pursed his lips slightly, and his brows were unconsciously furrowed.

Although the name on the invitation was Chu Mingzhao, the person who invited her was not Chu Mingzhao.

The handwriting on the invitation is beautiful and vigorous, with a powerful momentum and a sharp edge hidden between the opening and closing.

These words were not something Chu Mingzhao could write, and Chu Mingzhao had just returned from school. It was impossible for him to finish writing the letter and send it back in time.

Then the only person who could write this post is Chu Ninghan.

We parted on bad terms last time. Unless it was something important, Chu Ninghan would not come to see me again.

And the two answers she had been searching for were right in front of her, but she didn't dare to open them to confirm.

I feel homesick because I am close to home.

That answer was really hard for her to accept.

Jiang Li remained silent for a long time, and his face looked a little ugly.

Qingzhu then asked, "Crown Princess, are you going to reject Prince Yong's Mansion?"

Jiang Li did not have a close relationship with Prince Yong's Mansion, but Princess Yong kept pestering Jiang Li.

Since Jiang Li feels embarrassed, just refuse directly.

Jiang Li shook his head, "I have to go."

You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.

She had to confirm the answer herself.

No matter whether Chu Ninghan is a younger brother or Chu Mingzhao is her daughter.

We all have to face it.

Jiang Li closed the invitation and placed it on the table beside him.

"I've accepted the invitation. I'll reply to them and I'll visit them on time the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!"

It rained heavily outside the window for two nights and one day, and the sky finally cleared up on the day off.

The breeze blows on your face, and the dullness and heat in the air are swept away. Such weather is extremely suitable for flower viewing and banquets.

"Princess, we have arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion."

Qingzhu opened the curtain, and the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion came into view.

The last time I came to the palace was in early February. It snowed the night before and Prince Yong’s Palace was covered in white snow.

In addition, Prince Yong's Mansion had not held a large-scale banquet for many years, so the dignitaries who came to the banquet were crowded and lively.

But today, there was only the carriage from the Yongning Marquis Mansion in front of the spacious and solemn Prince Yong's Mansion, which made it too empty.

The gate of Prince Yong's mansion was closed, and four guards with swords stood in front of the door.

Qingzhu frowned, feeling suspicious, and spoke to Jiang Li in a low voice.

"Princess, it doesn't look like Prince Yong's Mansion is holding a banquet..."

The posture displayed by Prince Yong's Mansion was exactly like the situation that Jiang Li encountered when he went to Duke Anguo's Mansion.

Before she could finish her words, the four guards standing guard at the door looked over at the same time.

The carriage of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion was so conspicuous that it was impossible not to notice it.

Qingzhu was startled by the look they gave him. The four men were resolute and brave, with murderous looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were military personnel.

She quickly looked at Jiang Li and said, "Princess, please don't get off the carriage. I will go and deliver the visiting card first."

It didn't seem like Prince Yong's Mansion had invited Jiang Li to appreciate the lotus, so she would go and check the situation first.

"No need."

Jiang Li shook his head and got out of the carriage directly.

The four guards of Prince Yong's mansion immediately widened their eyes, and the four of them walked towards the carriage almost simultaneously.

Qingzhu looked nervous. He secretly grabbed his sleeves, stood in front of Jiang Li, and stared at the four people approaching vigilantly.

The coachman also got off the carriage and stood beside Qingzhu, protecting Jiang Li quietly.

The four guards of Prince Yong's Mansion are different from the good-for-nothings in Duke Anguo's Mansion. They are all real warriors and elite soldiers in the army.

If they do anything bad to Jiang Li, Jiang Li will be in danger.

The four guards rushed over aggressively, then suddenly stopped three feet away.

Amid the astonished gazes of Qingzhu and the groom, he said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Greetings, Crown Prince's Consort!"

"Please come into the mansion soon, Princess! The princess has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Unlike Qingzhu and the groom who were wary, the guards looked at Jiang Li with eager eyes.

So eager that it makes people feel a little creepy.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal, so Qingzhu dared not let his guard down.

Jiang Li patted Qingzhu on the back and walked out.

She looked at the four guards and nodded slightly.

"Trouble."

An old acquaintance.

They were the first people to follow Chu Ninghan up the mountain on Yufeng Mountain.

He is Chu Ninghan's personal bodyguard and an expert in the army.

The soldiers under Chu Ninghan's camp were all admirers of the strong. The four of them had seen her take action on Yufeng Mountain, so Jiang Li was not surprised by their eagerness.

"You are so polite, Princess. Please come and see me!"

The leading guard, with a big smile on his face, personally stepped forward to lead the way, while the remaining three directly opened the door.

"This……"

Qingzhu followed behind Jiang Li, the shock in his eyes almost solidified.

The gate of Prince Yong's Mansion can only be opened for grand events.

The last time Chu Mingzhao made a public appearance in Kyoto, the gate was wide open and the guests were fortunate enough to enter the mansion through the gate.

During normal visits, no matter how distinguished one's status was, one would enter through the side door. Only the owner of Prince Yong's Mansion and the emperor could enter through the main door.

But today, the best thing was that Chu Mingzhao hosted a small banquet and invited Jiang Li to appreciate the lotus flowers.

This……

Why did you open the door directly?

Jiang Li also stopped and looked at the gate that was so close.

He glanced at the four guards and asked, "What do you mean, everyone?"

"Princess, this is the prince's order."

The guards seemed to have known that Jiang Li would ask this question. They said in unison: "You are a distinguished guest of the palace. You should enter through the main gate."

Jiang Li's face was solemn and his lips were tightly pursed.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

What exactly did Chu Ninghan want to do by inviting her to Prince Yong's Mansion that would make her make such a big sacrifice?

It was clearly Chu Ninghan who said it himself, he didn't want her to bother him.

Now she is actually being called a distinguished guest who came in through the main gate. What a compliment.

"Princess, please."

Jiang Li clenched his fingers, pinching his fingertips into his palms, and the pain spread from his palms to his heart.

That's it.

She stepped forward and crossed the threshold of the main door.

If Chu Ninghan was the little brother back then and her kindness had not been repaid, she would be willing to fall into the trap no matter what Chu Ninghan wanted to do.

In February, the Yong Palace is covered with snow and full of spring flowers. In early June, the Yong Palace is full of thick shade and a faint fragrance.

From the front yard to the garden, the fragrance of flowers becomes more and more intense.

The guard stopped outside the garden and said, "Princess, the princess is in the garden. You can go in directly."

Jiang Li nodded, and after taking two steps with Qingzhu, Qingzhu was stopped.

"What are you doing? I'm the Crown Prince's wife's personal maid!"

Even if she entered the palace, Jiang Li could keep her by his side before the formal banquet began.

Although the guard was smiling, his hands were like an iron wall, blocking Qingzhu.

"Miss Qingzhu, please stay. The Crown Prince's wife can only go on her own."

Qingzhu looked anxious, and she felt more and more that there was something wrong with Prince Yong's Mansion.

However, Jiang Li looked back at her.

"Qingzhu, don't worry, just wait outside."

No matter how reluctant Qingzhu was, he had to nod and watch Jiang Li walk through the moon gate and into the garden.

The garden of Prince Yong's Mansion is extremely large, with exquisite landscaping, winding corridors, high eaves, and every scene and object is as beautiful as a fairyland.

There were no servants along the way, only the increasingly strong lotus fragrance.

Walking around the winding path, the pavilion with a lotus pond in full bloom comes into view.

There was only one person sitting in the pavilion.

It’s Chu Ninghan.
