Chapter 129: Too high, feeling ashamed
Xiao Jincheng has been paying attention to the situation on Xiao Yanan's side.
However, that small courtyard was guarded like an iron barrel, and no news could get out.
Ming'er must have followed the plan and stuck to Xiao Yan'an. Doesn't Ji Chuhe doubt Xiao Yan'an at all?
County Magistrate Gao came to see Xiao Jincheng with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"How's the progress over at Ming'er? Why is there no movement yet?"
"Grandpa, I'm also paying attention to the situation over there."
"Ming'er is a child I have carefully nurtured. He could have been very useful! I want to send him to the imperial capital to help your uncle consolidate his position. If he were to die in this little ditch of Xiao Yan'an, it would be a huge loss!"
County Magistrate Gao felt that as soon as Ji Chuhe arrived, the momentum immediately changed direction and began to get out of control.
"Grandpa, I can guarantee that they will not be able to find out Ming'er's true identity. As long as Ming'er's identity is not exposed and Xiao Yan'an does not fall for the honey trap this time, Ming'er will be sent back to Qinglian Temple at most. Then, we can still follow Grandpa's plan and send her to the imperial capital to pave the way for uncle."
"Yes." County Magistrate Gao nodded, "No matter what, we must ensure Ming'er's safety!"
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry." Xiao Jincheng responded softly.
In the evening, a carriage drove away from Yunze Mountain at a high speed.
It was just the end of a day's farming and the people had already gone down the mountain.
"Isn't that the carriage of the Crown Prince's wife?"
"Has the Crown Prince's wife left Yunze Mountain?"
"It's not the Crown Prince's wife. I heard that they sent the little nun back to Qinglian Temple. Isn't her master still sick? I guess she went back to accompany her master."
"The Crown Prince and his wife are so kind that they are willing to help even a little nun they don't even know."
"Who says it isn't?"
Xiao Jincheng heard everyone's discussion and turned away.
Did the plan fail?
Xiao Yan'an actually sent Ming'er away.
He was so nice to Ming'er a few days ago, and Ming'er even swore that he had won Xiao Yan'an!
He immediately sent someone to Qinglian Temple to investigate the situation. He promised his grandfather that Ming'er would be sent back safely.
Soon, his men returned.
"How was it? Did you see Ming'er?"
"Second Master, there is no one in the nunnery! Even Master Huijing is missing!"
"What?" Xiao Jincheng was shocked.
Where did Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe take the person?
"Immediately send some people to find out where Huijing and Ming'er are!" Xiao Jincheng ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Xiao Jincheng couldn't figure out what Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe were up to!
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan were having dinner with everyone.
Although these meals were not as sumptuous as that day, they were still a big improvement over before.
Everyone's opinion of Xiao Yan'an has changed greatly.
After dinner, Ji Chuhe took out the picture of spring plowing and showed it in front of everyone.
Everyone swarmed over like bees.
"Your Highness, this is a great painting! These are us, right? We were dividing the rice seedlings at the time!"
"Yes, that's us!"
"We are here, planting rice!"
“We were just busy working, but we didn’t expect the picture to be so beautiful!”
Ji Chuhe saw that the time was right and walked to the front of the painting, "Prince did not only paint this picture because of the beautiful scenery, but there are other reasons."
"Madam, is there any other reason?"
"I believe everyone knows the importance of Yunze Mountain's cultivated land to Huaiyang. If the harvest is good, the people of Huaiyang will no longer have to go hungry! The prince wants to record this scene. In the future, this painting will be hung in Sihui Hall for our sons and grandchildren to see. Let them know how our ancestors who reclaimed Yunze Mountain worked at that time."
Agent Chu He said so.
This ordinary painting seems to have undergone spiritual sublimation.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yan'an with a hint of admiration.
He is indeed the crown prince, the prince’s legitimate son, the situation is different!
The Second Young Master would never think of this!
Because of Ji Chuhe's explanation, the people present felt more intuitively the difference between a legitimate son and a illegitimate son.
No wonder the Crown Prince’s wife said that the Second Young Master is not worthy of being in a respectable position!
This is not something that can be said casually.
It’s not that the Second Young Master is bad, it’s just that he is inferior to the Crown Prince.
Xiao Jincheng watched this scene with his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, but he was so angry that he didn't feel any pain at all!
Not only did Ji Chuhe not have any conflicts with Xiao Yan'an or doubt Xiao Yan'an, she also racked her brains to help Xiao Yan'an!
Doesn’t he understand Xiao Yan’an yet?
This was just a casual painting by Xiao Yan'an. He would never have thought of putting it in Sihuitang for future generations to see, let alone any commemorative significance!
These were all made up by Ji Chuhe!
Ji Chuhe is not gilding Xiao Yanan, this is simply to reshape Xiao Yanan's golden body!
Xiao Yanan also felt unhappy.
Sweet and sour.
The sweet thing is that Ji Chuhe defends him so firmly.
The sour thing is that he is really not that good. This is just a casual painting he made just to please Ji Chuhe.
The people looked at him with admiration, which also made him feel ashamed.
What they admired was the fake self that Ji Chuhe had created. If the people knew his true face, they would probably despise him.
At the same time, he was somewhat hesitant.
Does Ji Chuhe hope that he will become that kind of person?
What if he fails to meet her expectations?
He thought that he and Ji Chuhe had become closer, but he didn't expect that there was actually an unbridgeable gap between them.
Ji Chuhe turned around and glanced at Xiao Yan'an.
I noticed that there was something wrong with his expression, as if he was forcing a smile.
She felt that she had to push someone like Xiao Yan'an!
However, just like those noble ladies in previous lives gossiping about their rebellious sons at home, how can one find the right balance?
If we push too hard, will it have a counterproductive effect?
However, Ji Chuhe can't care about so many things now.
Xiao Jincheng plotted against Xiao Yanan again, and her counterattack has just begun!
"Second Young Master, why are you standing here?" Suddenly, a voice sounded. It was Dong Ling.
Everyone was attracted by her voice and looked in her direction.
Xiao Jincheng immediately adjusted his expression and said, "I just got here."
"Didn't the Second Young Master have dinner?" Dong Ling asked again.
"I was delayed by something just now and didn't make it in time." Xiao Jincheng explained.
Dong Ling smiled brightly, "Second Master, are you worried about that little girl Ming'er?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake!
"No! Why would I worry about her!" Xiao Jincheng immediately retorted.
"Look! The Second Young Master's face has turned red! He still refuses to admit it!" Dong Ling's voice is very loud, and she has to speak in a loud voice and speak naturally. It really tests her acting skills!
However, Ji Chuhe gave her full marks for her acting skills!
"Aunt Dong, please watch your words!" Xiao Jincheng's tone suddenly became sharper.
