Chapter 372 Gift of Jade
Chapter 372 Gift of Jade
"Miss, this woman from an official family may look glamorous on the surface, but in reality she is pitiful."
Qing Ling said.
"Why does Qingling feel this way?" The two walked leisurely in the garden.
"You have no choice but to keep trying to please others. If you are not careful, you will be ruined and there will be no recovery."
Qing Ling said that although she had envied those daughters of officials countless times before the young lady changed, since the young lady changed, she gradually had some changes in her views on those daughters of officials' families. Those glamorous appearances were not really that good.
Ji Jiuying smiled and said, "You are right. This palace is full of intrigues and deceptions. You have to be careful every step you take in the palace."
Qing Ling wanted to say something but was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
The two looked at each other and quickly hid in the half-human-high grass.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
"Where are the people? Why are they gone..."
The person who came was a woman, and she was heard muttering something in a low voice.
Ji Jiuying saw who was coming and was a little surprised. She couldn't be here to find her, right?
"Princess Anping?"
"Princess Anping? Where are you?"
Murong Ning called out softly, and there was complete silence all around.
It was strange, she clearly saw her walking towards this side, how come she disappeared?
Murong Ning looked ahead and sighed.
Ah!
A scream cut through the sky.
Murong Ning turned around in shock and kept patting his chest.
"You scared me to death!"
"The Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, are you looking for me?"
Murong Ning finally reacted, calmed down, and nodded, "Excuse me for disturbing Princess Anping. I came here to confirm something with you."
As he spoke, he took out a painting from his arms. After seeing the person in the painting, Qingling looked at her own lady in surprise.
"Princess Anping, do you know the person in this painting?" Murong Ning looked at Ji Jiuying expectantly, not missing any expression on her face.
Ji Jiuying looked at the beautiful painting and did not answer Murong Ning. Instead, she asked, "Was this painting made by the second princess?"
Murong Ning nodded, and Ji Jiuying asked again: "Is the person in the painting important to you?"
Murong Ning nodded again. "He is my savior and also... the person I love. So, does Princess Anping know the person in the painting?"
Qing Ling held back her laughter, and Ji Jiuying's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't expect that she just saved her, but she secretly fell in love with her!
Ji Jiuying thought about it and decided not to delay her. "Actually, he..."
"Ning'er!"
A scolding sounded, and Murong Ning hurriedly put away the painting in his hand, but it was snatched away by Murong Yun.
"Royal brother, give it back to me!" Murong Ning was anxious.
Murong Yun glanced at Ji Jiuying meaningfully, then put away the painting in his hand and said, "Ning'er, this person died in Longtou Mountain a long time ago. Don't bother looking for him anymore!"
Murong Yun never expected that Murong Ning was so obsessed with Ji Jiuying in men's clothing that he even drew a portrait to find her.
Murong Ning remained silent and lowered his head.
Ji Jiuying instantly understood Murong Yun's deep meaning, and said to Murong Ning with a smile: "Second Princess, I don't know this person, but I have seen him, and he~ is indeed dead in Longtou Mountain..."
Murong Ning's heart died instantly when she heard this. She didn't expect that the person she finally fell in love with was already dead. However, she still couldn't forget him.
Murong Yun looked at Ji Jiuying with gratitude. Ji Jiuying didn't want to pay attention to him. After all, she was just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, not to help him.
"Ning'er, go back to the banquet first."
Murong Ning walked back absent-mindedly, but met an unexpected person on the way.
"Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, please stay!"
Jin Chenzi called out to Murong Ning who was about to leave.
Murong Ning turned around. Although she didn't know how the monk knew that she was the second princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, she still stopped.
"Master Kongchen, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Second Princess, I would like to say a few words to you." Jin Chenzi looked at Murong Ning with indifferent eyes.
"Second Princess, there are some things that God makes you regret, maybe it's to protect you. Don't be discouraged, everything in the world has its destiny, gaining is not necessarily a blessing, losing is not necessarily a disaster. Everyone has their own ferry and boat in life, you can't avoid it if you are destined to, and you can't meet it if you are not destined to. It's better to be willing than to wish, and it's better to be at peace with yourself than to get."
Murong Ning listened to Jin Chenzi's words carefully and nodded as if he understood.
Jin Chenzi smiled and took out a jade pendant. "Second Princess, I have a predestined relationship with you. I will give you a square jade pendant. This jade can protect you and help you solve your problems. You must always carry it with you and never give it to anyone else."
"Farewell!"
After Jin Chenzi finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Murong Ning with a confused look on his face.
Murong Ning looked at the rectangular jade pendant in her hand and asked, "Can you help me solve this puzzle?"
After looking at it for a long time and failing to figure out what it was, Murong Ning put it away and walked towards the main hall.
-
"Thank you so much, Princess Anping, for what happened just now!" Murong Yun said.
"No need!"
Ji Jiuying said this coldly and turned away.
"Princess Anping hates this prince so much?" Murong Yun blocked Ji Jiuying's way and said with a smile.
Ji Jiuying looked at him with disdain, "Prince, you think too highly of yourself. You are not qualified enough for me to hate you. I just don't want to waste my breath on people who have nothing to do with me."
Murong Yun didn't get angry but laughed instead. He and Ji Jiuying had fought so many times and probably understood her personality. She was cautious and aloof.
"Princess Anping, I think you put a lot of thought into Jia Lan's victory over the Western Jin Dynasty, right?"
Ji Jiuying snorted coldly, "Your Highness, instead of trying to figure out this princess here, you should think about what to do next, so that you don't lose everything~"
"But the Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty must be very familiar with the taste of failure. One more time or one less time will make no difference!"
Murong Yun narrowed his eyes. She was still so smart, but he was not afraid that she would know anything. He understood her. As long as it did not affect the people around her, she would not care even if the sky fell.
However, he didn’t understand what kind of relationship Jun Lintian had with her.
"Princess Anping is joking. It is human nature for people to strive for higher goals. How can one achieve great things in life without experiencing some failures?"
"Hehe, greed is insatiable. In this case, then this princess wishes the Crown Prince of Western Jin Dynasty all his wishes come true!" Ji Jiuying sneered.
Murong Yun chuckled and was about to say something when Ji Jiuying interrupted her, "This princess has something else to do, so I won't disturb the Crown Prince of Western Jin anymore! Goodbye!"
Having said that, he pulled Qingling out of the garden.
Ji Jiuying did not go back to the banquet, but disguised herself and left the palace with Qing Ling.
