Chapter 351 No Ambition

Yan Li looked calm and complimented him: "You are not bad either."

Wen Li was satisfied.

There are still three people who have not been introduced.

The fourth boy is named Duan Yaoshu. He claims that his parents have both passed away and he has no one to rely on. He will serve the princess wholeheartedly in the future.

The fifth and sixth boys look similar and are of similar age. They look like twins. It turns out to be true after they start talking.

"I am Song Zhiyi."

"I am Song Zhiwei."

Yan Li's eyes fell on the faces of the two brothers: "Are you twins?"

"Yes."

"Where are your ancestors from?"

"I grew up in the palace since I was young. I was originally going to be castrated to become a eunuch. The fourth prince saw that we were good-looking and took pity on us, so he took us in." Song Zhiwei lowered his eyebrows and spoke respectfully, "Later, the fourth prince allowed the two of us to study and taught us etiquette and integrity. When the eldest prince wanted to send a beautiful boy to the eldest princess, the fourth prince said that the eldest princess was his most beloved sister, and asked us brothers to come together to serve the eldest princess. We must be loyal to the eldest princess and not have any other thoughts."

Yan Li heard this, and a strange light flashed across his eyes: "Since he can teach you etiquette and integrity, I think he should be a kind-hearted person, but now he lets you come here to be a male concubine who serves others with your beauty. Don't you feel wronged?"

"I don't think so. "Song Zhiwei shook his head, respectful and docile, "It is a blessing for us brothers to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Blessing?" Ling Feng smiled coldly, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "Whoever believes such self-deception is stupid."

Song Zhiwei's face changed slightly, and he turned to look at him: "Mr. Ling, don't you want to serve the Princess?"

Ling Feng said indifferently: "Whether I want to or not is my business, and it has nothing to do with whether what I said to you is true or not."

"Since Mr. Ling doesn't believe that we are willing, I think I don't want to either." Song Zhiwei was silent for a moment, and sincerely suggested, "Since you are so aggrieved, why don't you ask the Princess to let you go?"

"Why should I leave?" Ling Feng frowned, with a bad expression, "My duty is to protect the Princess, to prevent you treacherous villains from bewitching the Princess and harming her again."

After the words fell, Qi Yan and Wen Li turned their heads to look at him.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Feng's eyes turned cold, "Aren't you here with ulterior motives?"

"Mr. Ling is wronging me." Wen Li immediately cried out, "I have no ambitions, I just like to eat soft rice. Her Royal Highness the Princess is auspicious to the State of Jin, she is as beautiful as a flower, and she is powerful and influential, which can guarantee that I will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Why should I have ulterior motives, am I sick?"

Ling Feng choked and was speechless.

"I also have no ambitions." Qi Yan nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Ling is a man who will not bow down for a few pieces of silver. He is proud and respectable. It's a pity that I have no martial arts and no knowledge. I only have this face. What else can I do if I don't rely on my face to make a living?"

Yan Li lowered his eyes and drank a sip of tea, listening to them leisurely, his expression was calm.

From the words alone, it is really hard to tell who has ulterior motives and who has a simple mind, but since we already know their origins in advance, there is no need to think about this issue any more.

Putting down the teacup, Yan Li said: "Ling Feng stays, the others go back first."

Wen Li frowned: "Ling Feng is the most disrespectful, why did Your Highness keep him?"

Yan Li smiled lightly: "Do I need to explain my decision to you?"

"... Not really." Wen Li coughed lightly and quickly restrained his arrogance.

The five people got up and left, and Ling Feng stayed alone.

Yan Li said calmly, "Did Kang Ziyan really control all the assets of the Kang family?"

"Yes." Ling Feng nodded, "The Kang family stewards did not obey at first. They thought that the second son had a disabled leg and was not suitable to be the head of the family. Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess destroyed the entire Kang family, but only left the second son. There must be some hidden secrets. Some people secretly slandered the second son for being ruthless and ambitious. In order to seize the position of the head of the family, he would sell out his parents and relatives, but the second son was unmoved and used thundering means to control those people."

Yan Li said calmly, "Did Yan Chen send someone to find Kang Ziyan?"

"Yes." Ling Feng nodded, "The second prince still did not give up the power of Yanling. He wanted the head of the family to use him, and even sent someone to threaten assassination. After the head of the family considered it again and again, he had no choice but to agree to him first."

Yan Li heard this, without any surprise on his face.

The fact that Ling Feng could appear here was enough to prove that Kang Ziyan and Yan Chen had already connected.

But this result was reasonable.

The Kang family almost suffered a catastrophe. It was unlikely that Kang Ziyan would recover in a short time. If someone interfered, it would be even more difficult.

Yan Chen was a prince after all. Just a few orders were enough to make Kang Ziyan anxious.

"But the second prince did not trust the head of the family wholeheartedly." Ling Feng sneered quickly, "In order to test whether the head of the family was really loyal, the second prince asked the head of the family to personally select a spy to send to the princess, so as to monitor the princess and convey important information to him at any time."

Yan Li hummed: "So you entered the princess's mansion as a male favorite."

"Yes."

Yan Li smiled casually: "In that case, you should monitor the princess's mansion first. I'll see if I can give you a chance to make merit in a few days."

"Thank you, princess."

"Go back."

"Yes." Ling Feng lowered his head and said stiffly, "I'll take my leave."

Yan Li's mouth twitched suddenly, and the look in her eyes looking at him was indescribably subtle.

Ling Feng stood up and left.

Yan Li leaned on the couch in front of the window alone, thinking about the next plan.

It may not be appropriate to say that the plan is not appropriate, but the preparation should be the direction of the situation.

Her birthday is coming soon.

The news of the return of the True Phoenix of Jin State has spread all over the world. The prince of Yan State, who is a little further away, has come with his sister, and other countries will have some reactions in the future.

They will take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to come to Jin State one after another, observe how credible this True Phoenix is, find out the current situation in Jin State, and test the attitude and strength of other countries through this way of king meeting king.

The emperor of Yong State personally led troops to the border, seemingly threatening the marriage with military force, but in fact he has other plans.

The envoys of the northern border are already on the way, and the ninth prince of Mu State is galloping with light cavalry.

These two groups of people are actually from the same group - because the envoys from the Northern Frontier must be selected by the Regent King, and Mu Cang will tell them in advance what they should do and say after they arrive in Jin.

Not to mention the arrival of the Ninth Prince of Mu, who came entirely to support his princess.

The only thing Yan Li needs to think about now is whether the proposal of Yan State Crown Prince Dugu Qingyun to marry the eldest prince was made by Yan Zheng or Yan Jin?
