After hearing what the manager said, Ji Xiaotang had no doubts anymore. The person who came was obviously Princess Changning, and the one who accompanied her should be the commander of the imperial guards.

Ji Xiaotang ordered someone to report to Mrs. Ji Er to know, but while he was busy, he sorted out his dress and took the person to Dongjiaomen to pick him up.

The one waiting at Dongjiaomen was indeed Changning. Although she was wearing luxurious clothes, she did not dress up in palace costumes. Instead, she wore dresses common to women from large Beijingers.

Beside Changning was the leader of the Imperial Guard, Lord Feng Changshuo Feng.

Changning obviously came in a misfortune and didn't want to be seen, just like last time she went to the back street of Weiwu Hou Mansion to find Cheng Dazhong late at night.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Changning.

"The princess is here, why don't she notify someone in advance? It's really a crime to be rude." Ji Xiaotang said while saluting.

Changning supported Ji Xiaotang and refused to let her salute. While looking around, he signaled that Ji Xiaotang didn't want more people to know that she was here.

"I came to you today just to find a friend to talk to you. Don't treat me as a princess. Don't disturb people. Let's go to your place and speak quietly."

Changning's face turned slightly red and his eyes were bright.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaotang had to nod, and she did not forget that there was Feng Changshuo next to her.

"Please go to the study in front to have tea."

"It doesn't have to." Feng Changshuo smiled when he saw Ji Xiaotang talking to him. He showed off his snow-white and neat teeth. "Xiaguan is waiting for the princess here."

"Xiaotang, don't worry about him." Changning said to Ji Xiaotang.

"How can that work?" Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Changning can ignore Feng Changshuo, but Ji Xiaotang cannot. Not only can he not leave Feng Changshuo alone, but he also needs to entertain him very carefully and devote himself to his care.

"If Mr. Feng is not convenient to sit in the study room, there is a study in front of him, so you can drink tea and see the scenery in the garden. If Mr. Feng is not negligent, please wait for the princess there, otherwise I will be really sorry." Ji Xiaotang treated Feng Changshuo very politely, and even took Changning more seriously.

Feng Changshuo was actually a very easy-to-talk, so he nodded. He was indeed inconvenient to wait outside the door or the concierge here.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly beat the capable manager Feng Changshuo to the study, and then sent someone to find Master Ji Er, and then took Changning to Yanhuatang.

Ji Xiaotang led Changning into the main hall and greeted each other again before taking a seat.

Mrs. Ji Er had already received news, and at the same time she knew that Changning was unwilling to see others, so she did not come. She just prepared many exquisite and almost everything in the kitchen and delivered it at a price.

Changning only took a sip of tea and nodded slightly, thinking it was not bad. Although she was in the palace, she had heard some rumors about the Ji family. The Ji family's ancestors were from merchants and several generations had accumulated a lot of wealth. Today, she came to Yanhuatang for the first time. Although she had something to do in her heart and was not particularly careful, she saw the decorations in Ji Xiaotang's house, as well as food and clothing, and she knew that the rumors were true.

Changning was very satisfied with this and felt that Ji Xiaotang was really qualified to be her friend.

"Xiaotang, you must have heard of it..." Changning couldn't wait to speak after just taking a sip of tea.

She came to find Ji Xiaotang, but she knew about Qi Younian's news. She was filled with joy and pride, but no one shared it with her. In the capital, she only thought of Ji Xiaotang, and couldn't wait to post a post to arrange a meeting with Ji Xiaotang, so she told Feng Changshuo, secretly left the palace, and came to find Ji Xiaotang in person.

"I heard that." Ji Xiaotang didn't pretend to be confused and replied with a smile.

She knew Changning would be happy, but she didn't expect that Changning would come to find her.

She was also happy, but this joy could not be shared with Changning.

"...Those idiots didn't believe it at the beginning, saying that Ayou was talking big. Now, they were slapped in the face. Those people were thick-skinned, as if the despicable words they had said before were not what they said, and they all began to praise Ayou. Ayou and I don't care about these repeated villain's praise!"

"Xiaotang. You said, from ancient times to the present, there are a few Ayou who are like this. I also believe that he is the God of War and is here to protect my Qin Dynasty. It is God who is destined to come...My..."

Speaking of the latter sentence, Changning was also a little shy. Although it was difficult to say anything, her eyes had perfectly conveyed her meaning.

Changning believes that Ji Xiaotang must understand.

Ji Xiaotang understood, but did not agree, just smiled.

Changning did not arouse suspicion, nor did he even blame Ji Xiaotang. She was so happy that she thought Ji Xiaotang was shy and could not say that for her.

However, it is enough to understand what she means.

Changning then cited the names of many famous generals and officials in history, and compared them with Qi Younian. After comparison, they all felt that no one could compare with Qi Younian.

"There is only the champion Hou of Xianhan..."

"Mr. Qi will definitely be blessed for a long time and live a hundred years. This is something that the champion Hou cannot compare with." Ji Xiaotang immediately continued.

"Xiaotang, you're right!" Changning was excited and grabbed Ji Xiaotang, "It was because I was not thinking about it for a moment."

Next, Changning said a lot more about Qi Younian, and finally mentioned her own marriage shyly.

"My mother and the emperor both told me that my wedding date will be scheduled in June this year. The mother has found someone to calculate that the days in June are the best for me." Obviously, Changning's default marriage partner was Qi Younian.

After talking about Qi Younian and herself for a long time, Changning finally remembered Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, I don't know which family you are in." Changning looked at Ji Xiaotang, his face was still happy, but there was a more slight look in his eyes. "The third and fourth brothers both asked the mother to marry her, and she wanted her mother to give her marriage."

"I don't know which family my marriage belongs to, but I'm afraid the princess knows better than me. Can the princess give me some advice?" Ji Xiaotang asked Changning with a smile.

When Ji Xiaotang said this, Changning smiled. She had really asked Empress Dowager Han who wanted to point Ji Xiaotang to the soul.

"Xiaotang, you have to go to the palace to choose. I would rather you be my princess. The palace is boring. If you enter the palace, that's great. The queen mother likes you very much. The emperor will also like you."

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel sank in his heart.

Changning's words were not just Changning's own words, but to a large extent, they represented the wishes of Empress Dowager Han.

"I'm just afraid I don't have this blessing." Ji Xiaotang said this, and the listeners could understand it according to their own wishes.

Changning looked at Ji Xiaotang with an unpredictable look.

In her opinion, it is naturally a good thing for Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace. No matter how rich the Ji family is, how can they compare to the palace? However, she also thought of another thing. It was her conversation between Empress Dowager Han and her sister-in-law Empress Han.

Queen Han has been in charge of the harem for many years, but has never given birth to a man or a woman.

Emperor Longqing urgently needed the prince to stabilize the hearts of his ministers and the people, and to continue his bloodline and the throne, and Empress Han also needed a prince to firmly sit in her position.

Empress Han is old and weak, so she can no longer give birth to a child for Emperor Longqing himself.

This time, when the female official was selected in the palace, the first woman to give birth to a prince, she would definitely be extremely noble, but that honor was just a flash in the pan.

I left my mother and kept my son and raised the first little prince to Queen Han's name.

Both Empress Dowager Han and Empress Han believed that Ji Xiaotang was good-looking, had a good temperament, and was smart and generous. She looked like she was able to give birth to a child. The qualifications of the child she gave birth to must be guaranteed... The Ji family's power in the court was not afraid of.

Ji Xiaotang is young and although it does not delay childbirth, it is more likely to have problems during the childbirth process.

Thinking of this, Changning looked at Ji Xiaotang with a hint of regret, but there was no pity. She regretted that she would probably lose such a friend who would get along very happily in the future.

The idea that Ji Xiaotang was reminded that he even wanted to prevent Ji Xiaotang from entering the palace in order to prevent Ji Xiaotang from becoming a tragedy has never appeared in Changning's mind.

"My mother said you are a blessed person. The mother is very accurate in her eyes." Changning said with a smile.

At this moment, Feng Changshuo beat someone to remind Changning that they had been out for a long time, and if they didn't go back, they would be noticed by Empress Dowager Han.

Changning then stood up and said goodbye.

Master Ji Er also sent Feng Changshuo out.

"Dad, the empress dowager means that I want me to enter the palace." Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji Er.
