At noon, the morning court will just disperse.

Jiang Yi returned to Fuyan Palace as usual, preparing for rest and meals, and then went to the Imperial Study Room to make a note.

But just as I was halfway through the meal, a bird suddenly landed on the windowsill, flapping its wings and chirping, and a bamboo tube tied to its legs.

The capital is thirty miles away from Qihuang Valley, not far away, but Jiang Yi has been very busy in recent years and rarely has time to go back.

Jiang Yi has been practicing with Wu Qingwan since she was six years old. She has a deep relationship with Wu Qingwan, who is both a teacher and a mother. After leaving Qihuang Valley, she often used the method of sending letters to her birds.

Seeing the familiar bird, Jiang Yi knew that Wu Qingwan had sent a letter, put down her chopsticks and stood up, took out the note and looked at it. It only said that Zuo Lingquan had returned to the city, and there was nothing else.

Jiang Yi was a little confused, but soon she understood what Wu Qingwan meant - her aunt must be worried about her marriage, so she told her in advance when Zuo Lingquan came back, so as not to let Zuo Lingquan enter the palace. She was busy with official duties and the two could not enhance their relationship.

I don't like him and have no real work, so what do you think of that guy...

Jiang Yi put away the notes, looked like she was not caring, and continued to eat.

But after taking a few bites, I began to recall the fact that I was beaten in Linhefang and had never had a quarrel.

This thought, naturally, the more I thought about it, the more I became, and I couldn’t even eat it.

Jiang Yi put down her chopsticks and remained silent for a long time, but still asked:

"Leng Zhu, Zuo Lingquan has returned to the city. Where is it now?"

"I'll go and inquire now."

The palace maid Leng Zhu hurriedly ran away when she heard the sound.

The entire capital is made of Jiang Yi, with eyeliners everywhere, and Zuo Lingquan has nowhere to hide his whereabouts, so it is natural to find it easy.

After about two quarters of an hour, Leng Zhu ran back, with a strange face on her face and said:

"Report to the princess, the person below said that Mr. Zuo went to Xianzhizhai half an hour ago, and seemed to spend a lot of money to buy the signature rouge 'red nectar' there. Princess, how did Mr. Zuo know that you like red nectar the most?"

?

Jiang Yi raised her eyes, her face full of surprises, and the grudge in her heart just now disappeared a little inadvertently for some reason.

She pursed her lips, thought for a while before humming softly:

"It must be my aunt who told him, Humph, what a good thing is a big man going to buy rouge?"

Leng Zhu has been with Jiang Yi since she was a child, and she can still see some thoughts, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled:

"Is Mr. Zuo also kind of good intentions? Besides, what's the point of buying rouge for a woman? That means I care. The young master of the aristocratic family in the capital has never bought it for someone from Xinyi. The princess said so?"

Jiang Yi's expression was cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked again:

"Where is he now?"

"I went to Linhefang with Zuo Yunting, and I should be there now."

Jiang Yi said a little disgusted: "Why did he get mixed up with the ignorant person?"

"That's his brother."

"Oh, too."

Jiang Yi only remembered this, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and changed her mouth:

"It's not a family, if you don't enter the family, you're all the same. Humph... You go down first, I'm tired, sleep a little, and then make a note tonight."

Leng Zhu could guess what the princess did with her blow-knit buttocks, and she stepped back respectfully without saying it.

After Jiang Yi waited for the palace maid to leave, she got up and went to the bedroom, preparing to change her clothes, and left the palace to see according to her aunt's wishes. However, when she thought of Yanzhi, she was a little hesitant - since Zuo Lingquan bought Yanzhi, she would definitely give her away. Although she didn't like Zuo Lingquan, the prince consort she ordered with her own hands seemed not good if she didn't accept it, and she might be nagged by her aunt; if she accepted it, it seemed too close to her, and it was easy for that guy to get more and more...

Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment and felt that she would give Zuo Lingquan a compromise. She also gave her something to her so that both sides would be even, and no one owed each other, and she could avoid her aunt's nagging.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt it was feasible, so she turned around and came to the side hall and opened the secret door on the wall.

Behind the secret door is a large stone chamber with many desks in it, displaying various magical objects related to practice - magic tools, talismans, elixirs, books, etc., and a large pile of white jade zhu placed in boxes.

Although the Dadan Dynasty was poor in materials, it was still a dynasty. It had been traded with Dayan for a hundred years, and no matter how poor it was, it still had some family background.

However, most of the good things accumulated over the generations were given to Qihuang Valley, and the rest were placed in the national treasury for emergencies. Jiang Yigui, as the regent princess, could not move around. The stone chamber was all collected by her in the past few years.

Jiang Yi came to the inner side of the stone chamber, took a talisman clip made of deer skin, and opened the small wooden box on the desk.

The wooden box has a fine texture, with a dragon badge engraved above, and ten white talismans are neatly listed inside.

Ninety percent of the monks of the Great Dan Dynasty were disciples of Qihuang Valley, and Qihuang Valley only learned swordsmanship from Jingtutai. Therefore, there were not many people in the Great Dan Dynasty who could draw talismans and refine alchemy. Even if there were, there was no material, and the grade was pitifully low.

The set of talismans in the box are the "worry-free talismans" made by Fulongshan, one of the nine sects in the south.

The Worry-free Talisman is a middle-grade talisman. After being stimulated by its own true qi, it will be pulled by the true qi of the person who uses the talisman and surround itself; it will explode when it encounters an attack, and impact the surroundings with air waves. Cultivators below the sixth level of Qi refining basically cannot break the defense. Breaking the defense can inevitably reduce the destructive power and widen the distance; as long as you bring a picture, you will basically have no worries about your life, and the name will come from this.

Even in the vast Dayan Dynasty, when people in the practice of practicing, when they mentioned the things produced by the nine sects in the south, they only had two impressions: one was good, and the second was expensive.

The ten talismans in the box were purchased at the fairy market outside, and the price was ten white jade zhu.

Ten white jade zhu sounds not much, but if you find a place to exchange it, the average price is about 100 taels of silver. One tael of silver can be bought in the Great Dan Dynasty, and one hundred taels is 120 kilograms of rice, one hundred taels is 120 thousand kilograms of rice, and ten white jade zhu is 120,000 kilograms of rice, which is enough for 500 people to eat for a year.

Moreover, most of the silver is not exchanged for white jade zhu. The price of ten white jade zhu can’t be grabbed by ordinary casual cultivators and small sects. They are all booked by major sects, and very few can flow out, so the price will naturally double.

Jiang Yi's box of "Worry-free Talisman" was the one she entered Huanghuang Valley when she was a child. Her father and mother loved her so much that she found a way to get her. It goes without saying how precious it is.

Jiang Yi looked at the wooden box, hesitated for a moment, took one from it, and thought it was too stingy and did not conform to her princess's demeanor. In the end, she took three pieces and put them in the talisman clip. She took three pieces of white jade zhu from the box and put them in it...

———

After a moment.

On the wide long street outside the imperial city, Jiang Yi was wearing a black young master's robe and rode towards Shuimen on a horse, and soon arrived at Linhefang at the corner of the city.

After passing through the shop gate, Jiang Yi came directly to the place where she was beaten last time, and then began to search around.

The Tang family wine shop was near the dock. After a few steps, Jiang Yi saw the famous Da Cangming in the capital, riding a black donkey strolling on the street, and there was also a bad old man dressed in the world next to him.

Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly dark, and she was too lazy to scold Zuo Yunting, her future cousin, turned over and dismounted and walked outside the small tavern.

Jiang Yi knew that Tang Jingyan was the owner of this restaurant, but last time Zuo Lingquan proved his innocence, and came over in broad daylight and brought Zuo Yunting with her. No matter how she looked, she didn't think much about it.

But what Jiang Yi never expected was that as soon as she walked to the window, she saw a handsome young man standing in the corner of the restaurant, with a woman smiling in front of her.

Although a woman has a beaded hairpin and a cloth skirt, her body is simple and clean, her cheeks are fair and her eyebrows are moving, and her whole body exudes the charm of a woman, especially her bulging clothes and a well-behaved waist, which makes women jealous.

Foxes...

Jiang Yi frowned, wondering why this word flashed through her mind. Her eyes were slightly dark, and she walked to the door and coughed twice.

In the wine shop, Tang Jingwen, who was playing with Zuo Lingquan, looked up and thought that the person who came was a handsome young man in a black robe, but after scanning down, he found the large-scale robe.

What a handsome girl, how can she wear men's clothes...

Tang Jingwen muttered secretly, thinking that it was a guest who came to drink, so he quickly greeted him with angrily:

"Call the guest officer come in and sit down. I was busy not paying attention just now, but I just neglected the guest officer."

While speaking, Tang Jingyan put the rouge box in his arms and turned to get the warm wine.

Jiang Yi's eyes were like a torch. When she saw the rouge box, she recognized which rouge it was. Her eyes were stunned - my god! How dare he? Didn't he buy it for me? Then, wouldn't I look like a fool when I come here now?

Jiang Yi stared at her big eyes, feeling a little unbelievable. She raised her hand and wanted to touch the sword around her waist, but when she came here, in order to look more ladylike, the sword was hung on the side of the horse and didn't take it at all.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and saw Jiang Yi standing at the door. After being stunned for a moment, he returned to normal and said with a smile:

"Brother Long, why are you here?"

Jiang Yi wanted to kick Zuo Lingquan to death, but in front of outsiders, she still had to maintain her temperament and just said coldly:

"It seems that I'm not the time to come."

Before Zuo Lingquan could answer the conversation, Tang Jingyan, who was taking the wine, paused, glanced at Jiang Yi again, and asked:

"Mr. Zuo, is this your friend?"

Jiang Yi took a breath, Yu Guang paid attention to Tang Jingyan. He didn't know if it was because of the comparison mentality, but subconsciously raised his chest and walked into the restaurant:

"I'm not a friend, I just know each other."

A woman is already delicate in her mind, and Tang Jingyan is even more so. Just from her chest-thrusting action, we can see that this woman has a different relationship with Zuo Lingquan.

Tang Jingyan didn't think that the eldest princess would go to the market alone for a walk, and even jealousy waves to treat her as a fox. She just thought she was Zuo Lingquan's former confidante. Her eyes looked a little strange. After taking a pot of wine and putting it on the table, she sat next to her with a stack of melon seeds and watched the show.

Zuo Lingquan came to Jiang Yi and turned his head to look at him:

"Brother Long, you don't seem to be in a good mood. What's wrong?"

What do you think? Jiang Yi sat down at the wine table, frowned and said unhappy:

"Young Master Zuo was in Qiyuntai and was very upright. I didn't expect that as soon as I came, I saw it..."

As he said that, he glanced at Tang Jingyan, who was sitting in the distance eating melon seeds. This old woman was caught and was so arrogant now. She was so bullying...

When Tang Jingyan saw Jiang Yi's eyes, she understood what she was thinking and joked openly:

"Girl, Mr. Zuo and I are nothing, don't be jealous."

Jealous?!

Jiang Yi's face was slightly dark and she said dissatisfied:

"Why am I jealous? Why are you a woman who is so ungrateful?"
