Chapter 304 Ambition, Threat

It stands to reason that Yan Li's dealings with the Kang family are his dealings with Yan Chen, and he should be happy to see such a situation.

The more people in Yan Chen's party die, the better.

But Yan Li's courage and ambition, as well as his ambition hidden in his bones, made him feel a stronger threat than Yan Chen.

Yes, ambition.

Yan Zheng's eyes passed over Yan Li's face, and a thought crossed his mind. Yan Li was the Queen's biological daughter. Did she inherit the Queen's ambition and courage?

After all, looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, there has never been a woman as strong as Jiang Yi and with such deep scheming.

If Yan Li really has such unrealistic ideas... what should he do?

Kill him?

There was silence in Qinzheng Hall.

Jiang Yi's voice was calm and indifferent: "Yun Si, take these women down first and place them there, and don't allow anyone to approach them." M.

"yes."

"Prime Minister Ji, General Xuan." Jiang Yi raised her eyes slightly, "You will cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the Kang family's affairs. You must thoroughly investigate what the Kang family has done in Yanling over the years."

"I obey the decree."

"Yan Li." Jiang Yi's voice became gentler, "I have signed the documents for the envoys of the State of Mu this morning. Miss Ling and the envoys decided to go back early. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me tonight. Let’s have a good chat with Miss Ling, and I will send someone to escort them back tomorrow morning.”

Yan Li nodded: "Then I'll go back first."

Jiang Yi hummed.

Yan Li didn't even look at Yan Chen again, turned around and left the Qinzheng Palace, and the several women kneeling on the ground were also led by Yun Si and the palace people to settle them.

After walking out of the palace door, several pairs of eyes waiting outside looked over.

"Do you want to continue admiring the flowers?" Yan Li said with a faint smile on her face, "These women are all victims. Because someone threatens their family members' lives, they are afraid of talking back."

Xuan Xuan snorted coldly and glanced at someone pointedly: "Facts have proved that evil does not suppress good, and those who do evil deeds should be killed. It is best to execute them in a hurry, so that they can kill the victims. It’s better to try everything you suffer.”

Rong Ning's expression was stiff and he gave her a cold look.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, is mighty." After Xuan Xuan finished speaking, she added provocatively, "This is called flattery, and it should be done openly."

As soon as these words came out, Rong Ning and Qi Yao's faces turned red and they stared at her angrily: "Xuan Xuan, don't go too far!"

"This is not a place for quarreling." Yan Li glanced at the three of them, then turned and walked along the corridor to the Imperial Garden. "Since I came to the palace to enjoy the flowers today, let's take a stroll in the Imperial Garden. Miss Rong and Xuan If you want to compete, Miss Chu and I can give you a witness to see who is better in martial arts."

Qi Yao thought she was fair and said with a smile: "Rong Ning is the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, how can she lower her status to compete with a concubine? Please don't embarrass her, eldest princess."

Yan Li tilted her head: "If you say so, does this mean that I am here to enjoy the flowers with you all? Doesn't that mean I am lowering my stature?"

Qi Yao's face changed slightly, and then she forced a smile: "The eldest princess has a distinguished status, and I dare not let you lower your stature. Aren't we coming to the palace to accompany you?"

Yan Li hummed: "I know that Miss Qi is the fiancée of the eldest emperor brother, and she will become my princess's sister-in-law soon."

Qi Yao was silent for a moment, these words made her regain some confidence.

Yes, she is engaged to the eldest prince.

No matter how noble the eldest princess is, she is still just a princess. She cannot become an emperor or a queen. From now on, she will still have to be called the imperial sister-in-law.

But Qi Yao also thought of a problem at the same time.

That is, the Kang family suffered a setback because of Yan Li. Even if Yan Chen had suffered heavy losses and the eldest prince had the greatest chance of competing for the heir apparent, she should not be at odds with Yan Li at this time.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Especially when it came to competing for the crown prince, she had to make sure that the eldest prince had a foolproof confidence. It was not even enough to make the crown prince a prince. She had to be firmly on the throne before she could deal with the people she wanted to deal with.

Until then, who is the eldest princess?

"Your Highness, the eldest princess." Qi Yao lowered her eyebrows and smiled humbly, "There will be a poetry party in the southern suburbs at the end of this month. Many noble sons and daughters from Kyoto will participate. The eldest princess has just come to Kyoto. We are not familiar with each other yet, so let’s join in the fun together.”

"Poetry flower party?" Xuan Xuan frowned and said with disgust, "What's the point of participating in such a disgusting flower party? It's just a group of dirty people doing some dirty things. Don't taint the eyes of the eldest princess. ”

"Miss Xuan herself is not good at poetry, she is ignorant and has no skills, so she slanders the Poetry Flower Party like this?" Rong Ning frowned and sneered, "Not to mention, you have the final say whether the eldest princess will go or not?"

Xuan Xuan sneered: "It's my business to be uneducated and skillless. You know how dirty and dirty your poems will be, so there is no need to confuse them."

"you!"

"That's enough." Yan Li frowned displeased, "Didn't you just say that you are a well-educated and sensible lady? Is this how the ladies of the Jin Kingdom quarrel regardless of the occasion?"

Rong Ning bit his lip and reluctantly closed his mouth.

Yan Li turned his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Qinqin calmly. Chu Qinqin nodded imperceptibly, with a bit of disgust on his expression.

It seems really dirty.

Yan Li understood, and silently walked back to the pavilion and sat down. All the tea cups and snacks on the table were put away. The palace servants behind him came over and served them tea again.

"Since Miss Qi invited me, I will naturally go and see it for myself. You can go with me then." Yan Li held the teacup and said calmly, "I have just arrived in Jin State and I don't know much about many of the customs and habits here. It would be best if there were two acquaintances around to explain it to me, so as to avoid making a fool of myself."

Qi Yao was the first to nod: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best to explain it."

Yan Li said nothing more, and looked thoughtfully, and sipped her tea slowly.

That night, when Yan Li asked Nanny Pan what the scene was like when the young masters and ladies of noble families held a poetry and flower fair, Nanny Pan thought for a moment and said, "Jin State holds poetry and flower fairs twice a year, one in March when peach blossoms bloom, and one in September when osmanthus blossoms bloom."

"What needs to be special?"

"At these two flower fairs, the young masters and ladies will be a little more relaxed about the gender barriers, not as strict as usual." Nanny Pan smiled and said, "For many ladies who never leave the house, this opportunity is rare, so many people go there every year."

Yan Li saw that her expression was normal and she didn't seem to know what was wrong with the flower fair, so he said calmly, "The poetry and flower fair should be an event for a group of young masters and ladies to show their poems and songs, and it should be very lively."

Nanny Pan nodded, "It is indeed lively. If Your Highness wants to go, you can bring more guards with you."

"Are there any special programs?"

Special programs?

Matron Pan paused for a moment and said, "Most of the activities held on Peach Blossom Mountain are pitching pots, writing poems, painting, and singing and dancing... Oh, and some young masters from aristocratic families will bring their beautiful concubines with them to the poetry gatherings as prizes for the activities."
