After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Everyone immediately followed Shen Jingrong's reminder and looked over.

At a lush corner covered by trees, a low-key and luxurious carriage appeared, with the royal family's logo printed on the carriage.

Sitting in front driving the carriage were His Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards, An Feng and An Yu.

These two people are the best selected from the secret guards. They have strong martial arts skills and usually serve the prince.

Everyone immediately arranged their clothes to welcome the prince.

An Yu stopped the carriage, An Feng jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain, and Xia Rongyu got out of the carriage.

Everyone salutes.

Xia Rongyu waved her hands, and then she stood next to the carriage.

Just when everyone was looking puzzled, another person walked out of the carriage, a little girl.

The little girl is exquisitely dressed, with a linen-colored backpack slung across her body, embroidered with a few flowers. She has a little baby fat on her face, delicate and beautiful facial features, and snow-white skin. She makes people like her at first sight.

When Qiao Niannian got off the carriage, Xia Rongyu passed her hand over. Qiao Niannian could have just jumped off.

But seeing Xia Rongyu's hand, she handed it over.

Shen Jingrong noticed.

The girl's fingers are as slender and white as green onions, and her fingers are like fine mutton-fat jade, free from any impurities.

From one look at these hands, you can tell that they have been pampered since childhood and have not suffered at all.

She couldn't help pinching her fingers.

Even though she was adopted by the Imperial Preceptor, before she was adopted by the Imperial Preceptor, she was abandoned by her parents because she was a girl.

She begged for a living every day, and was beaten and scolded every day. She was almost bitten to death because she fought with a dog for food.

On her hand, there was a faint trace of an almost invisible wound, which was left by the dog.

Even though she is now a fourth-grade young eunuch, well-dressed and well-fed, and still a disciple of the Imperial Master, she cannot erase the suffering she has suffered.

Shen Jingrong looked at Xia Rong and Qiao Niannian's hand, carefully helping the person out of the carriage, her expression was softer than she had ever seen before.

She couldn't help but tighten her palms, and even Xia Rongyu's smile disappeared.

She went out with her master this time specifically for His Highness the Crown Prince's illness. She had only been away for more than a year. When had there been a little girl beside the Crown Prince?

Looking at Shen Jingrong's age, she was about ten years old, with a high status. She could still be so casual around the prince, only the tenth princess.

But as Shen Jingrong was a member of Xuanmen, it was natural that the two people were not related by blood.

If she’s not the tenth princess, then who is she?

Shen Jingrong's face was full of suspicion.

Wang Xuanzhi is different.

After seeing the person coming, his fine-lined eyes instantly lit up, and a big smile broke out on his old face, and he almost immediately greeted him.

But instead of saying hello to the prince, he was talking to the little girl next to the prince.

"Nian girl, you are here."

It looked like a baby bump.

Shen Jingrong was a little shocked.

What is Wang Xuanzhi's identity?

That was Si Tianjian's supervisor, a second-rank official in the current dynasty. Due to his special status and profound Taoism, he was the target of everyone's fawning.

Although the state master's Taoism is more powerful than Wang Xuanzhi, he doesn't care about worldly affairs. Unless the country is in turmoil, he will ignore it, and it is useless for others to fawn over him.

Wang Xuan is different.

He can help many people solve special problems.

In the five years that Shen Jingrong has been in Si Tianjian, she has never seen him be so close to anyone!

Because she was too shocked, Shen Jingrong rarely took the initiative to talk to Li Yunting.

"Who is that girl? I have been in the capital for many years and I have never seen her before."

The moment Li Yunting saw Qiao Niannian, his heart was filled with excitement.

For a moment, he was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Shen Jingrong's question. Shen Jingrong's face darkened.

She knew what Li Yunting was thinking about her. Although she never responded, Li Yunting never ignored her.

Whenever she appeared, Li Yunting never saw anyone else in his eyes.

This was the first time that she was ignored by Li Yunting. At the same time, she felt a little wary of this precious ten-year-old girl.

Shen Jingrong patiently asked again. This time, Li Yunting heard it.

He explained to Shen Jingrong excitedly.

"The girl next to His Royal Highness is the daughter of Marquis Mingyuan and a member of Xuanmen. She is very powerful."

Last time, the Taifu's only daughter was taken away by a snake demon, and the emperor ordered Si Tianjian to rescue her.

It was Qiao Niannian who came to help at that time.

Otherwise, with the ability of their Si Tianjian, it would be impossible to bring the Taifu's only daughter out of the snake demon's cave, let alone subdue the snake demon.

That snake demon has transformed into a human form and has been practicing for thousands of years. It is very powerful.

Even such a powerful demon was dealt with in the hands of Qiao Niannian. It is his nature to admire the strong.

Li Yunting is no exception.

Shen Jingrong felt strange.

She remembered Mingyuan Hou.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he protected the emperor's safety, and even stepped forward to save the emperor's life when he was in danger.

Later, the emperor ascended the throne and gave him the position of Marquis.

But after that, this person didn't do anything special. He was always pretty ordinary.

But even Marquis Mingyuan is not worthy of the support of the Crown Prince, let alone Marquis Mingyuan's daughter?

Shen Jingrong frowned in displeasure.

"This is the imperial mausoleum. We are here to do business today! When did the prince become so confused?"

Although Shen Jingrong didn't explicitly say that Qiao Niannian was a burden, her words had already made it clear.

Qiao Niannian is a little girl, isn't she just messing around here?

As for the Taoism mentioned by Li Yunting, what kind of Taoism can a ten-year-old girl understand?

After all, it was she who had just started practicing drawing talismans when she was ten years old.

Li Yunting noticed that Shen Jingrong's tone was wrong and patiently explained.

"Miss Qiao is very powerful. With Miss Qiao here during this trip to the imperial mausoleum, maybe there will be a solution!"

She looked at Li Yunting in surprise.

Li Yunting has always been outstanding. Si Tianjian is a fourth-grade young eunuch. He has achieved the fourth-grade junior eunuch with his own strength at a young age. Few among the younger generation can compare with him.

He is the target of the high-ranking officials in the capital.

He is the most valued disciple of Si Tian Jian Zheng and is trained as his successor.

He is also the object of admiration for many women in the capital.

It was precisely because he was so outstanding that the people around him seemed dim and dull. Even she could not stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Occasionally she performed well, but it was actually because of Li Yunting's permission.

In so many years, this was the first time she saw Li Yunting praising someone so excitedly, and it was also the first time she saw him protecting other women besides her.

For a moment, Shen Jingrong found it difficult to accept.

She clenched her palms tightly, intending to see what this daughter of the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion was capable of!

When Shen Jingrong's eyes fell on Qiao Niannian, Qiao Niannian turned around sharply and met a pair of eyes that were a bit appraising.

Qiao Niannian's eyes fell on the other party's face.

Well! She doesn't like this person.
