The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Not even two days.

Mingjin was taken to Xiangshan by Princess Fuhua.

The grandfather and grandson went hiking in the name of climbing, but in fact they had made an appointment with Yuan Ci to meet in Xiangshan. With the company of their elders, even if Ming Jin and Yuan Ci met and were seen by others, no one would dare to say anything.

Mingjin originally didn't want to go through so much trouble.

She doesn't care about reputation. If others want to talk about it, let them do it.

Why go so far to Xiangshan?

It’s far and you have to climb a mountain.

She herself was not afraid of hard work, but she felt sorry for her grandmother, who was already so old and still had to accompany her through life.

But since Princess Fuhua already knew Mingjin's feelings, she naturally couldn't let others talk nonsense and ruin her reputation.

What's more, the Yuan family also needs an explanation, so that the marriage will not fail and instead they will become enemies.

……

Coincidentally.

Today is also the day when Gu Mingheng is hosting a banquet for Yuan Yu and others.

Yuan Yu arrived early and greeted Gu Mingheng. When no one was paying attention, he deliberately ran to Gu Mingheng and told him about Mingjin going to Xiangshan.

"Princess Changle invited my brother to go hiking in Xiangshan today. I don't know if the two of them can make it."

He knew that Gu Mingheng would mind, but he still did it.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Mingheng's face change suddenly, but it only changed for a moment, and Gu Mingheng returned to his usual appearance.

But he couldn't say anything.

No matter what he said, he felt uncomfortable. Just as Qin Fei and Zhang Shouyi called him, he went straight over.

Yuan Yu was speechless as he watched him leave.

He rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "Just pretend."

Eunuch An came over and saw him mumbling something, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked suspiciously, "Second Master, what are you talking about?"

Of course Yuan Yu couldn't tell him.

He interrupted with a smile: "Nothing, nothing."

Eunuch An just said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions, but he looked worried. He just found out in the past two days that the prince was going to return to the north. He had been trying to persuade him for two days but to no avail, so he was naturally worried.

He didn't want the prince to go before, firstly because it was dangerous, and secondly because there was no one to take care of him.

But the prince was determined to leave and he couldn't persuade him.

Not daring to complain to the prince, Eunuch An could only mutter quietly, "It's only been a short time since you came back, and you're going back again. You said you wanted to get married before, but now there's no news."

"I am increasingly unable to understand what the prince is thinking."

As he spoke, he began to sigh again.

Yuan Yu wanted to go over, but after hearing this, he patted Eunuch An on the shoulder as if to comfort him: "Don't be sad, old man. There may be a silver lining after all this."

When it comes to the last sentence.

He glanced at Gu Mingheng and could clearly see that he was like two different people compared to his previous state. Even if he tried hard to suppress it, he could still be seen absent-minded from time to time.

Eunuch An didn't understand the riddle he was talking about.

Hearing Yuan Yu say this, he just thought he was comforting him.

On the other side, Xiangshan.

Ming Jin helped the old lady walk up the mountain. Halfway through the walk, Ming Jin became worried about the old lady, so he asked her, "Grandma, are you okay? How about I accompany you to rest for a while?"

"Don't worry, this little bit of road is nothing to your grandmother."

Princess Fuhua said to Mingjin with a smile.

Aunt Cheng behind her also looked very vigorous and said with a smile, "The eldest princess used to live in Jiuhua Mountain. She would go hiking when she had nothing to do. You can rest assured, my lady."

Ming Jin glanced at the old man's expression and found that it was indeed as they said.

She felt relieved.

Continue to help the old man walk up the mountain.

Among them, Princess Fuhua brought Aunt Cheng, and Mingjin brought Brother Ying.

Aunt Cheng smiled as she walked: "It's a good thing Hua Sui didn't come over just now, otherwise I would definitely not be able to walk now."

Mingjin also laughed.

Hua Sui was exhausted after walking for a while. Ming Jin was afraid that she would not be able to get up for the next few days due to going up and down the mountain, so he asked her to stay at the foot of the mountain.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the top of Xiangshan Mountain was right in front of us.

There aren't many people today.

Yuan Ci had arrived early.

He arrived early and will have a rest while drinking tea in the pavilion.

The follower Wu San suddenly came quickly.

Just now Yuan Ci sent someone to the intersection to inquire about the situation. When he saw Wu San coming, Yuan Ci naturally knew that Ming Jin was here.

He put down the teacup, let out a long breath, then stood up and prepared to greet the person.

After getting up.

He tidied himself up and was about to go out when he heard Wu San report back: "Master, the princess is here too."

Wu San just reported truthfully.

But when Yuan Ci heard this, he suddenly stopped and a strange look flashed across his face.

Obviously.

He already understood what Mingjin meant.

"master?"

When Wu San saw him suddenly stop moving, he couldn't help but call him in surprise.

Yuan Ci said "hmm" and said nothing.

He just said "I know" and continued walking forward.

Not long after waiting at the intersection, Yuan Ci saw Ming Jin helping Princess Fuhua up.

"The eldest princess."

Yuan Ci hurried forward to greet people.

After greeting the old man, he looked at Ming Jin again and bowed in the same way, saying, "Princess."

Ming Jin did not hold himself up to his status, but politely greeted Yuan Ci: "Young Master."

"When did Bo Yin arrive?"

Princess Fuhua asked with a smile.

Yuan Ci asked someone to go up, and then followed beside him and replied: "Junior has not been here for long."

Princess Fuhua smiled.

The more she saw how humble Yuan Ci was, the more reluctant she felt to leave.

If Yuan Ci could really become her grandson-in-law, she would be able to completely rest assured about Yanyan in the future.

Pity.

Princess Fuhua thought with regret.

But since she had already promised Yanyan, she naturally would not add any more obstacles.

She first asked Yuan Ci to walk with them for a while and chatted with them about daily life. Then she said to Ming Jin, "I'm tired too. Let's go inside and rest for a while. You guys can chat."

This means that Liu Mingjin and Yuan Ci will have a talk.

Mingjin should naturally be it.

After watching his grandmother leave, Ming Jin retracted his gaze and faced Yuan Ci.

"Master, let's walk for a while." She looked calm and generous, without any embarrassment about being alone with a strange man.

This was also the first time they were alone together.

Yuan Ci glanced at Ming Jin and became more certain about what Ming Jin was going to say to him.

"it is good."

The two walked in front.

Yingge and Wu San followed behind.

With Yuan Ci's vision, he could naturally see that Brother Ying's martial arts skills were not low. He was a little surprised that Ming Jin was accompanied by such a master.

Ming Jin also noticed Yuan Ci's surprise, but she did not tell Yuan Ci about Ying Ge's identity.

This was the first time she rejected someone.

Some are not used to it.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Xiangshan today.

After walking with Yuan Ci for a while, Ming Jin said to Yuan Ci frankly, "I heard from my grandmother some time ago that I am very grateful to the Queen for her appreciation of me, but I have never thought about getting married. I may be disappointing the Queen for her kindness."

Yuan Ci had guessed it long ago.

But after hearing Ming Jin say this, he couldn't help but ask, "What if this is not just what my aunt meant?"

He wanted to say that he wouldn't agree to anything.

He agreed because his aunt and mother had chosen her as the one this time.

He didn't know whether Mingjin would change his mind after he said this.

"what?"

Mingjin was indeed surprised.

She stopped under a withered peach tree.

Yuan Ci stopped walking along with her.

He was much taller than Ming Jin, and he looked down at her: "I admire the princess's character. I can't say how good a husband I will be, but you and I will get married. Whatever I have, you will have. I am not a playboy. You will be my only lover in this life."

"Although I have a little daughter, she is well-behaved and will not have any prejudice against this matter. If you don't want to have a child, I can also convince my mother."

This was probably the longest speech Yuan Ci had ever said, enough to stunned Ming Jin.

It's not that she hasn't talked to Yuan Ci before.

I also know that Mr. Yuan is a man of his word.

If she really wanted to get married, this Mr. Yuan would indeed be a very reliable and good choice, but unfortunately... she already had someone she liked.

"Feel sorry."

After Ming Jin came to his senses, he lowered his eyes and politely rejected Yuan Ci.

Yuan Ci pursed his lips in silence.

He looked at Ming Jin for a long time, but in the end he didn't ask Ming Jin why, nor did he say anything more.

"In that case, then Yuan is being rude."

Yuan Ci politely nodded to Ming Jin: "Do you need me to accompany you back to find the princess?"

Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the two sons of the Yuan family have different personalities, they are both gentlemen. She shook her head: "No, I know the way back."

"I'm sorry for wasting the young master's time today." Ming Jin's tone sounded apologetic.

Yuan Ci shook his head: "There's nothing to be sorry about. I don't think it's a waste."

He didn't mind, but it was a bit of a pity.

It had been a long time since he had felt such a fondness for a woman.

Pity.

After saying goodbye, Yuan Ci said to Ming Jin, "I will talk to my mother and aunt, so don't worry."

This couldn't be better.

Mingjin thanked Yuan Ci again.

Yuan Ci said it was not necessary, then said goodbye to Ming Jin and left.

Ming Jin watched him leave until he was out of sight. Just as she was about to look away to find her grandmother, she caught a glimpse of Gu Changxuan looking at her on the path not far away.

at once--

Mingjin's previous good mood was completely ruined.
