First, King Rui's wedding was held, and then he offered prisoners. Moreover, the ones who offered prisoners were not ordinary prisoners, one former prince, one former prince, and one Tartar prince. The first time that the prisoners of such a high level was held in history since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it will definitely be recorded in history.

The successive excitement made the knowledgeable people in the capital very excited. In the next month, these two things were discussed on the streets and alleys.

Both of these things are related to King Rui. Therefore, King Rui's attention has increased directly, and the censors opened their eyes and stared at King Rui's every move.

In the past, King Rui had no title, nor was he married. In the words of the emperor and the prince, he was just a child.

The censors' eyes were like torture, but they could not always look at a child and find fault.

One is a child and the other is a Buddhist son, so the focus of the censors in the early stage was on King Duan.

King Duan protected the two brothers behind him with one force.

Now that the child is married, the Buddhist son has also been granted the title of king. After the matter is done, he will leave, and his merits and fame are hidden.

As long as Chai Yan went out, he would stare at every move, so within a few days, he was caught.

The prince was unhappy when he heard this. The royal family and nobles, civil and military officials, so many people are not enough for you to participate. He only stares at his lonely brother all day long.

Besides, Xiao Qi made such a great contribution and was punished without reward. Isn’t this forcing Gu’s brothers and Guli to be loyal?

The prince felt that the censors were too idle and wanted to find something for them to do.

Just a few days later, news of two bandits who had killed more than 20 people being arrested in the capital city, and these two men had long been sentenced to beheading the prison. At this moment, they should be waiting in the death row in the death row.

The Ministry of Justice immediately sent someone to the local area to check and confirmed that the only person who was locked in the death cell was a substitute.

This is what the people call slaughtering white ducks.

These two bandits were the brothers surnamed Gou who were caught. They didn't know anything, so Qi Wei handed them over.

The prince was furious. This happened less than three years after the emperor ascended the throne. It was of great importance. The prince ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate to investigate strictly. Not only did he investigate this case, but in the past three years, all regions have to investigate. The Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate dispatched personnel and immediately left the capital.

Almost overnight, the censors in Beijing were reduced by half, and the prince was silent.

King Duan was the happiest. A cow died in the imperial house overnight. Chai Yan took Yan Xuehuai to eat at the Duan Palace. The couple had enough food and drinks, and came out with satisfaction. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, Pearl walked over quickly.

Yan Xuehuai asked strangely: "Is there something wrong in the mansion? How did you find this place?"

Pearl lowered his voice: "Princess, Mrs. Ji recognized the person in the portrait."

The portrait in Pearl's mouth is the portrait of the princess.

The portrait was sent in triplicate, one from the palace, one from the Ministry of Justice, and one from Zhou Hong's family.

The news had not been sent back to the palace and the Ministry of Justice, but Mrs. Ji had already recognized the person in the portrait.

"Old Master Ji has brought it here. She said she would tell the princess in person that the young man didn't dare to let her enter the mansion, and she was in the mule cart now."

Although Madam Ruan's identity has passed the Ming Road, Chai Yan is the prince. Even a relative has to avoid suspicion. Pearl has grown up in Prince Yu's mansion since he was young and understands the benefits and interests of this. Therefore, he took Mrs. Ji and waited outside.

Upon hearing this, Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai exchanged their gazes. The two got on the carriage. The mule carriage followed not far away and not close to each other. They walked out of the street in front of Duan Wang Mansion. The carriage slowly stopped. Dill helped Yan Xuehuai get off the carriage and got on the mule carriage.

On the mule cart, Mrs. Ji looked solemn. Seeing the pretty woman lifting the curtain, Mrs. Ji was stunned and asked, "Is it Princess Rui?"

Yan Xuehuai nodded: "That's right."

Mrs. Ji wanted to salute, but Yan Xuehuai said, "This place is narrow, so let's go."

Mrs. Ji quickly responded, but she still bent down and blessed her blessing.

Yan Xuehuai sat down opposite her and asked, "Do you know the person in the portrait?"

Mrs. Ji took a deep breath. The girl in front of her was not only Princess Rui, but also the cousin of the Zhou family. Her wife and son-in-law have been like this in her life. The one who can really help the lady and the young master is this Princess Rui.

Seeing that Mrs. Ji hesitated and said nothing, Yan Xuehuai knew it.

Just a person's name, Mrs. Ji could tell Zhenzhu directly, but she had to tell her in person that she just wanted a chance to see her.

"Zhou Yun is already the eldest grandson of the emperor. His future is in his own hands. Only Zhou Wanqian can protect me."

A ray of light flashed in Mrs. Ji's eyes, and she asked anxiously: "You, are you willing to protect my lady?"

Yan Xuehuai laughed: "She is my dear cousin. Even if you don't come to me, I will still protect her until she refuses to let me protect her."

Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but she was unwilling to accept it: "That young master..."

"I have already said that nowadays, his future is what others cannot help him, so he can only rely on himself."

Zhou Xiaobai has already stood at a height that countless people have not reached even after working hard for their entire lives. Standing high can see farther than others and jump higher, but if you fall down, you will be even more disabled.

As Yan Xuehuai said, she cannot protect Zhou Xiaobai's future.

Having said that, necessary advice is OK, but Yan Xuehuai doesn't want to say too much to Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji saluted again: "The old slave thanked the princess for his wife."

Yan Xuehuai nodded slightly. She knew that after today, the master and servant would not appear in front of her again.

I just wanted her promise when I saw her this time.

"The woman in the portrait is the female official assigned to the princess in the palace, and her name is Meng Ting."

"It is not a good job to have a marriage tribute to the Tartars. Whether it is a princess, female officials, or palace maids, the way back is almost cut off. Therefore, the female officials in the palace asked someone to find connections and tried every means to prevent themselves from appearing on the accompanying list.

Wei Ming, who was in charge of this matter, was annoyed by his godson and grandson who came to plead for mercy. As soon as a group of older palace maids and eunuchs were released in the palace. He was about to recruit new people, so Wei Ming suggested to the Empress Dowager and recruit several female officials by the way. The Empress Dowager agreed, and Meng Ting was the one who was recruiting this time.

Female officials were all from officials. Even if no one was an official in the family, their father and brother must have fame. Just like in the palace, I heard that they wanted to marry each other, and no family was willing to send their daughters to be female officials. Therefore, after all, they only recruited four people.

Among these four people, one of them fell ill and was sent back halfway through. In the end, there were only three people who followed the princess to Tarta.

One is called Han Baoxin, the other is called Wang Meihua, and the other is Meng Ting.

Those of us who want to stay in Tartar are learning Tartar dialect on the way, but only Meng Ting learns the best and fastest.

Han Baoxin grew up in the countryside and couldn't even speak Mandarin well, let alone Tartarism. After learning it over and over again, she understood what others said, and others didn't know what she was saying.

Wang Meihua is a little stronger than Han Baoxin, but she is not much stronger. She can only say the simplest one, and it is better to learn faster than me.

But Meng Ting is different. Her Tartar dialect is the best among us.

Because the princess was sick, after I arrived in Tarta, I was worried that I would be noticed, so I handed over all the reception of the Tarta people to Meng Ting. Even the princess trusted Meng Ting very much.

That day, the princess was about to escape, but other female officials were not good at speaking. After they arrived in Tartar, they became deaf and mute, but Meng Ting was different. She was very close to us and we couldn't hide it from her.

Besides, she speaks Tatha better than all of us, so it will be very convenient to bring her with her.

So that day I told her that I wanted her to go with us. Not only did she refuse to agree, but she retorted. In anger, I wanted to kill her to silence her.

But the princess refused to let her go, and she said that all the people who followed her to Tarpit were pitiful.

Therefore, to prevent her from shouting, I tied Meng Ting, blocked her mouth, and hid her under the bed. This actually helped her. Even if Prince Huaian took his anger, he would not blame her heavily.

Later, we fled all the way back to the Great Wei and no longer knew about the Tara.

Although the person in this portrait has some changes in appearance, it can still be seen that this is Meng Ting, who is just a little older."

After saying this in one breath, hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to ask: "Princess, can I dare to ask, who is in this portrait?"

Yan Xuehuai looked at her eyes and knew in her heart that Mrs. Ji must have guessed it too.

She smiled slightly: "It's the person you guessed."

Although she vaguely thought of it, when she heard the answer, Mrs. Ji was still stunned. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "So that's it."

So that's the answer, today, this thing that made their master and servant puzzled for twenty years finally came to an answer.

The woman who replaced Chai Jing and became Princess Golden Ring was actually Meng Ting.

Yan Xuehuai said: "Obviously, she is more suitable than your master. She survived the danger that was about to break out. She married Wang Uncle who pretended to be the old King of Tartar. It was just a ceremony, and you didn't think it was acceptable. However, Meng Ting not only became the vassal of the old King of Tartar, but also remarried to her husband's son, and stood out from many concubines, became the eldest concubine, and became the first person in the harem of Tartar.

Your master can't accept it just because she is willing to remarry."

Just now, Mrs. Ji was still worried about gains and losses. Her master was displaced and could not recognize her children. However, Meng Ting was just a dowry female official, but she easily took away everything that originally belonged to her master.

But after hearing what Wanyan Xuehuai said, what else is there to be unwilling to accept Mrs. Ji?

Her wife would not accept the matter of remarrying her husband and son no matter what, and would even show her ambitions by death.

Not only her wife, I'm afraid no noble lady of the Great Wei Dynasty would accept it.

But Meng Ting not only accepted it, but also achieved the ultimate.

Mrs. Ji closed her eyes and opened them again, there was no reluctance in her eyes, only peace.

My wife is living a good life now. My son-in-law never leaves her and her children have a good future.

Mrs. Ji thanked again: "I am my wife and wish the princess a long and prosperous life and prosperity."

Yan Xuehuai laughed. She was only seventeen years old and was wished for both good fortune and longevity. Mrs. Ji hoped that she would live for a hundred years.

Back at the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion, Yan Xuehuai repeated what Mrs. Ji said.

Chai Yan said: "It turns out that the female officials who followed the couple are all recruited now. No wonder there is no news in the palace. I think no one in the palace knows this Meng Ting."

Indeed, after this group of people was recruited, they followed the nanny to learn the rules and then left Beijing.

The nanny who taught the rules back then thought she would know her, but after twenty years, the nanny was either no longer alive or had been released from the palace long ago and had nowhere to go.

Sure enough, the next day, the palace and the Ministry of Justice sent back news that no one knew the woman in the portrait.

This was also expected by Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know each other, just recognize Mrs. Ji.

Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan entered the palace, retrieved the archives in the palace, and found Meng Ting's name.
