"Not much beauty fragrance flows into the Imperial Capital. I will give you the box from Shangshu Mansion in a few days." She never thought about the possibility of not getting it back, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion gave her the greatest confidence.

Yan Conngling didn't refuse. He would be a fool not to take the shortcut. Bailiyan was an ideal partner. Considering that he was at the border all year round, she gave him a tactful reminder.

"Miss Baili, I'm afraid things won't be that easy."

She didn't say clearly what it was about, but Bai Liyan understood, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Empress Wu is known to have a soft ear.

But being a mother means being strong. No matter how weak a mother is, she still has selfish motives.

The current situation of the prince is not good, and the reputation outside is even worse. If he can marry the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei and get the support of the Baili family, he can naturally turn the situation around.

This is the fastest way to get results.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Bai Liyan is and how many times he speaks like tonight, he can't get rid of this idea. Because it was never her who was greedy, but power.

"I heard that you successfully rejected Concubine Yao's proposed marriage?"

"Yes." Yan Conngling smiled and spoke briskly, "Who told me that I had already cooked rice with others at that time, and the entire imperial capital knew about it."

Bailiyan said nothing, looking thoughtful.

The Zhenbeihou lineage was originally a martial artist performing on the streets. They were appreciated by Ning Ji and took him under his command. Along the way, he went through many hardships and ups and downs from being a proton to returning to Beijing. The last imperial concubine was beheaded by the Baili family's war god general with a knife.

A mortal body can slay evil spirits.

This is a talent that is as hard to find as Bai Shu, so the outside world has been pity that such a rare bloodline of the God of War has been cut off in this generation.

Knowing that she had heard this, Yan Conling said no more and simply left.

As soon as she left, the flying tiger beasts that were patrolling and vigilant overhead immediately dispersed.

...

Sugar shop.

Zhou Ningyu sat on a stool, her eyes dull, facing a table of sugar water.

Wearing a melon-skin hat, the store owner probably has never seen a girl who loves drinking sugar water so much in her life. It was so cold that even though I was bending over, I could not resist my enthusiasm. I introduced this great customer with a smile on my face.

"Miss, this is peach gum snow swallow, this is black sesame walnut, this is snow pear lily and white fungus, this is..."

The bowl of tangerine peel and red bean paste pointed at was picked up by a white hand. The girl, whose clothes were still filled with the cold air outside the door, took a sip.

"Shopkeeper, it's a bit sweet."

The store owner apologized, "Oh no, it's cold, so my hands are shaking when pouring candy."

After cleaning the bowl of tangerine peel and red bean paste, Yan Conling put down the bowl and spoon and asked, "Is there another one?"

"Oh, girl, you are asking about the young man who looks like a god." The shopkeeper responded quickly, and his appearance was really impressive.

"I just saw him bringing this lady in. I thought they were... so I said a few auspicious words." At this point, he felt a little embarrassed.

"In the end, the young man acted as if he had heard a ghost. He angrily yelled, "Stop slandering his innocence...and then ran out of the back door. I don't think it's too late to apologize."

The corner of Yan Conling's mouth twitched.

It's like something he could do.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Yan."

Thinking of the previous rumors about Yan Conling's marriage, and then thinking about the scene tonight, the store owner didn't understand anything, so he quickly gave himself a big mouth.

"It's all my fault for my bad mouth. Don't take those nonsense to heart."

Zhou Ningyu also felt uneasy and wanted to step forward to explain, "Miss Yan..."

Yan Conling didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "What a big deal it is for a man."

The two sat down again. The table was so full that there was no room to rest their elbows. Lou Qixue was already very impatient when he was asked to take a strange girl with him, so naturally he couldn't think of asking what she wanted to eat.

But this was Yan Conling's friend after all, and he was afraid that she would be angry if he didn't treat her well enough, so he simply ordered everything on the food list.

It's so much, let alone one person, even if a few more people come, they won't be able to finish it all.

Zhou Ningyu only ate a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings. She didn't seem to be drinking well, and her cheeks turned red and she talked more, "Miss Yan, I don't want to enter the prince's backyard... but my parents hope that I can be favored by the prince..."

Zhou Shangshu is a princeling.

It is not incomprehensible to want to put the daughter into the East Palace, and the close relationship will also strengthen the interests.

Waving to the shop owner for a pot of hot tea, Yan Conling poured it for her and asked, "Have you told them?"

Warmth fell into the palm of her hand, and Zhou Ningyu showed a wry smile.

"I know the temperaments of my parents, and it's probably useless to say anything. What Miss Baili said just now is actually right. There are many siblings in my family, and I can't make the decision on many things. Sometimes... I really envy Yan girl."

The job of the demon catcher is to lick blood with swords, but at least she is free.

Yan Conling has never been a so-called lady, but she still knows that the daughters of these official families will either marry as wives or as Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

"I'm not sure I can help you if you don't get married, but there is still a way if you don't marry the prince."

The other party's eyes suddenly lit up.

"As long as you don't marry the prince. Getting married and getting married can't be the same. Miss Yan is getting married, but the prince is getting married... no, it's being taken in, being put in the backyard like an object."

She was really drunk.

In the past, these words should not have come from the mouth of a well-trained young lady like her.

Both girls disliked the prince.

It can be seen that Ning Junzhan has a bad reputation.

Staring at the other party's slightly misty eyes for a moment, Yan Conling sighed softly.

Forget it, help her once.

"Can you accept others, right?"

Zhou Ningyu nodded, "As long as you don't have to compete with Yingying Yanyan to get jealous."

"alright."

After drinking the last bit of tea, Yan Conling put down the cup and said, "Then I'll give you a try first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

The mist floated, and Zhou Ningyu stared at her with a pair of moist eyes, "Miss Yan, you are simply my reincarnated parents..."

"alright."

With her forehead twitching, Yan Conling stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, "It's getting late. I'll call the store to come over and pack up the leftover sugar water. You can carry it back as soon as possible."

The coachman was still waiting.

After seeing Zhou Ningyu off, she said a few polite words to the store owner. During this period, the other party's eyes frequently slanted back, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but she had already raised her foot to go back.

After walking for a while, I suddenly remembered that the fox was still left in the store...

"Miss Yan? Are you back again..."

The shopkeeper was startled by her leaving and returning. Before she could finish her words, he quickly shut up with a silence gesture.

Putting down his fingers, Yan Conling realized that he was almost like a thief.

What are you feeling guilty about?

After a slight pause, she opened the door curtain and entered the backyard.

When I went in, I also brought a bowl of sweet glutinous rice balls.
