Chapter 23 Saker Falcon

In the room, Yan Li had already gotten up and washed up.

Baidie handed the purchased medicinal materials to Yan Li one by one and said, "When I came back, I met the eldest son of the Jiang family in the front yard. He thought these medicinal materials were bought for the second young master."

To Jiang Tingshi?

Quite self-righteous.

Yan Li didn't say anything, but ordered Aunt An: "Take out the room next door. I want to use it as a pharmacy."

pharmacy?

Bai Die looked at her in surprise: "Your Highness, Princess, knows medicine?"

Yan Li said calmly: "I know a little bit."

Bai Die was puzzled. The noble girls from the aristocratic family only studied music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry. Medicine and pharmacology were very labor-intensive things. Almost no noble girls would take the initiative to study them. Moreover, Yan Li had been living under someone else's roof before. How could she have the opportunity to contact medicine?

However, although she was confused, Baidie knew that these were not things she could be curious about. She quickly put aside her doubts, blessed herself, and went down to clean up the pharmacy with Grandma An.

After lunch, Yan Li headed into the pharmacy. With Jiang Tingshi teaching her a lesson, the Jiang family became much more at ease. No one came to trouble her the whole afternoon. Yan Li remained calm and concentrated on handling the medicinal materials. , a lot of results were achieved in one afternoon.

In the evening, a maid sent an invitation: "Your Royal Highness, this is an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion, inviting you to come over tomorrow to enjoy the flowers."

Baidie took the invitation, opened it and took a look at it. After making sure it was not poisonous, she handed the invitation to Yan Li: "Gu Anxian, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her father is the prime minister, and her aunt is a noble concubine. The noble daughter of the Shengjing family almost looks up to her."

The background is not small.

Yan Li looked at the invitation casually and said the key in one sentence: "She likes the Ninth Prince?" m.

As the cousin of the Taifu Mansion, Yan Li has never interacted with the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Gu's family in so many years. This time, the prince broke off the engagement. For ordinary women, not to mention that they don't want to be involved with her at all, they just want to know her. She mostly avoids suspicion and laughs at jokes, so who would take the initiative to invite her to come over and enjoy the flowers?

The only possibility is that the emperor gave her a marriage to the Ninth Prince, which made Miss Gu wary and hostile.

"Many noble ladies from aristocratic families in the Imperial City admire the Ninth Prince." Qinglian's words confirmed Yan Li's guess. "This girl Gu once expressed her admiration for the Ninth Prince, and was praised as brave by the noble ladies who admired her. Prime Minister Gu also sent a matchmaker to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to propose marriage, but Ninth Prince seemed to have no interest in Miss Gu and never responded to the marriage. "

Yan Li hummed, noncommittal.

"Princess, are you going tomorrow?"

"Go." Yan Li nodded indifferently, "Everyone else has sent invitations, wouldn't it be rude not to go?"

"yes."

Yan Li stood quietly outside the window for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Qinglian, thoughtfully: "You just said that Gu Anxian's aunt is a noble concubine?"

"Yes." Qinglian nodded, "The prince is the fourth in line under the imperial concubine's knees. He is titled King Yu and is the prince's number one competitor."

Yan Li's eyebrows moved slightly. Gu Anxian was indeed proud. Her father was the prime minister, her aunt was a noble concubine, and her cousin had the same strength as the prince... She was like a truly proud daughter of heaven. No wonder the noble lady of Shengjing supported her.

It is impossible for such a proud woman to post in person because of her status as a princess... However, the emperor has ordered that the marriage be kept quiet. Who spread the news outside the palace?

A cold look flashed across Yan Li's eyes. Besides the queen and Jiang Jingyue, who else could be there?

Do they want these noble ladies outside the palace to deal with her?

Yan Li sighed coldly and quickly put the matter behind her. A mere daughter of an official - no matter how valuable her status was, it was not worth taking her heart. He would naturally know her purpose when he saw her tomorrow. , she has more important things to do at this time.

The black curtain gradually fell outside. Yan Li raised his hand to screen away the doctor and maid: "If you should go and rest, go and rest. There is no need to stay here."

"yes."

Yan Li stood alone for a moment. After all the maids left, she turned and walked into the pharmacy. She walked to the window and opened it. She put her two hands between her lips and let out a long whistle into the night sky.

Not long after, a white light swooped down from the night sky, as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, heading straight in the direction of Yan Li.

A smile finally appeared on Yan Li's lips, as if looking at her own child, waiting for the white shadow to fall.

It's a pure white sea turtle.

Noble, elegant, beautiful, and fierce.

A pair of jade-white claws grasped the window lattice easily. It was obviously a noble and ferocious species, but at this moment, it was like a arrogant little pet, letting Yan Li stroke its beautiful head, and even pecked hers with a little temper. Hand, at a close distance, its color becomes more and more pure and white, with almost no impurities visible.

Yan Li turned around and got some dried meat for it, and tied a rolled mailbox to its feet, then patted its head and said, "Give this letter to Rong Xiao."

Hai Dongqing's white brain rubbed against her hand, then he spread his wings and fluttered twice, flying into the sky!
