A man like Fan Mingchu actually shared an umbrella with Qiao Wan'er. Ji Yin felt that his reputation as a "concubine" was tarnished.

So I decided to use a little trick to ruin the good atmosphere of the two people walking together under the same umbrella in the rain.

"Your Highness, guess what I see from this high place?" Ji Yin said to Ji Mingyue who was taking shelter from the rain below.

Ji Mingyue hadn't dug up any bamboo shoots for a long time, and it was raining, so she was very frustrated. When she heard Fuzhi's question, she was like a bored child who was suddenly curious about something interesting: "What? Fuzhi, what did you see on it? Tell me quickly."

"I saw what seemed to be a cruise ship on Tingchao Lake. Oh, it turned out that His Majesty had just gotten off the cruise ship and was now sitting on the sedan chair, along with Lord Fan and Xu Nian..."

"Lord Fan? Which Lord Fan?" The princess suddenly interrupted Ji Ying and asked.

"It is the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mr. Fan Mingchu."

"It's him!" After the princess said this, she immediately threw away the shovel she was using to dig the soil, then bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground. Without saying a word to the person on the tree, she lifted her skirt and ran towards Tingchao Lake.

The reason why Ji Yin mentioned the people and things he saw in such detail, such as the cruise ship, the sedan chair, the little emperor, Fan Mingchu, Xu Nian, etc., was actually because he hoped that there would be something that could arouse the princess's interest. Based on his understanding of the princess during this period of time, if the princess heard that there was someone or something that she was particularly interested in, she would definitely rush over excitedly like a little child.

Don’t mention it, this trick really works. When the princess heard Fan Mingchu, she really had the same reaction as a child hearing something new. Ji Yu was secretly happy when he saw the princess running towards the lake from a high place. He pretended to shout a few words behind her: "Princess, where are you going?" "Princess, don't go!" "Princess, wait for me!" "Princess, I can't catch up with you!"

Anyway, he deliberately pretended that he didn't know where the princess was going and what she wanted to do. He deliberately delayed and didn't chase her. He wanted Ji Mingyue to go there alone to stir up some trouble. If the princess suddenly appeared in the rain, at least Fan Mingchu's umbrella would definitely not continue to be held over her head. Wouldn't the good atmosphere of the two people sharing an umbrella be disrupted? His original intention of "inducing" the princess to run over was to let her grab the umbrella.

Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected reward. It turned out that Ji Mingyue was going to hit Fan Mingchu with stones. Fortunately, he didn't follow her in time, otherwise he would have to help stop her.

But what is infuriating is that the stone that should have hit Fan Mingchu was blocked by Qiao Wan'er! She is really a "heroine" who is brave enough to do what is right, and she cares about everything!

After returning, he specifically asked Ji Mingyue why she threw stones at Fan Mingchu. The princess said that she didn't know why, but she suddenly thought of it recently and Fan Mingchu seemed to be a bad guy.

Isn't Fan Mingchu the worst villain to her? If it weren't for Fan Mingchu, the Lu family wouldn't have only had her as the daughter-in-law.

The princess originally confused all men with her husband, but after Ji Ying played tricks, she was no longer confused. So, probably her original memory of Fan Mingchu returned to her. The things he did back then must have been bad things in the princess's eyes, so isn't he a bad guy?
Ji Ying pretended to make a slip of the tongue and called out "Eunuch Fan", and also acted silly because his words didn't express his meaning. All of these were deliberately pretended, just to disgust Fan Mingchu - who told him to hold an umbrella with Qiao Wan'er! The old grudges have not been resolved and new hatreds are added!
As for what he whispered to Ji Mingyue, "Princess, don't worry. Fan Mingchu can't beat me at all."

Ji Ying pretended to be a "talkative talker" to disgust Fan Mingchu. Although he felt much better, he felt depressed when he thought of the scene of him and Qiao Wan'er holding an umbrella together. He felt even more resentful when he thought of Qiao Wan'er blocking stones for him... She was not a heroine who was brave enough to do something righteous, but a "female traitor" who could not distinguish between friend and foe.

So I didn't sleep well that night.

In the first half of the night, I tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and started talking to the wall.

"Wan'er, Fan Mingchu has bad intentions when he insists on holding an umbrella for you. You must not be fooled by him."

"Wan'er, why are you helping that guy named Fan to block the rocks? Do you think your brain is harder than his?!"

"Wan'er, don't be fooled by Fan Mingchu's scholarly air. He is just a hypocritical villain!"

"..."

He thought to himself that if he saw Qiao Wan'er again next time, he would have to have a good talk with Fan Mingchu, the treacherous villain, so he practiced it in advance. In the end, he practiced until his mouth was dry and he finally fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night.

Maybe it was true that what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night. After falling asleep, he dreamed of Qiao Wan'er and, of course, Fan Mingchu. In his dream, he dreamed that he stabbed Fan Mingchu fiercely with a sword, but he didn't expect a woman to suddenly jump out and block Fan Mingchu. He didn't have time to withdraw his hand, and the sword in his hand stabbed directly into the woman's chest. When he saw her face clearly, Ji Yin woke up immediately. It was Qiao Wan'er.

Her helping Fan Mingchu block stones during the day turned out to be such a dream!

In the middle of winter, Ji Wei was frightened by this dream and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the window, and saw a thin morning light coming in through the window paper.

I was just about to get back into bed and take another nap.

Suddenly, Ji Mingyue's loud voice was heard outside the door: "Fuzhi, get up quickly, get up quickly, go to the pot-tossing game."

The princess came to wake him up personally. How could he dare to sleep any more? He could only rub his sleepy eyes and forced himself to get up from the bed.

Because Ji Mingyue was crazy and stupid, she basically didn't have to pay respects to her mother, the Empress Dowager Xiao Qian, every morning and evening. It was said that Empress Xiao had ordered her to go out as little as possible, show up less in public, and rarely asked about her daughter's daily life. She probably forgot that she had such a daughter.

Although the princess did not have to pay respects to her mother every morning and evening, Ji Yu had to perform the art of pitching pots for the princess every morning and evening since he was taught the art by Lu Qingshuang. Not only that, he also had to play with the princess in different ways every day. He felt that no child loved to play as much as she did.

Xunfang Hall is the "Kingdom of Women" in Longchang Palace, and Ji Yin is like Tang Sanzang who broke into the Kingdom of Women.

Every day when he performed the game of pitching pots for the princess in the open space in front of the palace, he would be watched by a group of palace maids in Xunfang Palace. The princess liked liveliness, and the more people watched, the happier she was. Instead of watching such a great skill alone, it would be better for everyone to appreciate it.

"One hundred and thirty-two", "one hundred and thirty-three", "one hundred and thirty-four", "..." A group of little palace maids surrounded the man who was playing the pot-tossing game, and counted the number of hits he made in unison.

Ji Xun is a maniac in front of people. The more people watch and the louder the cheers, the better his condition will be. Although he did not sleep well last night, it did not affect his extraordinary performance.

"One hundred and forty-four," "One hundred and forty-five," "One hundred and forty-six," "Oops, I missed it!" "Oops, only three away!" "Only three away!"

Although Ji Ying failed again in his challenge to Lu Qingshuang's record of 149 arrows thrown into the pot, he still attracted cheers.

In fact, he failed on purpose. He thought that maybe that number was an eternal wish in the princess' heart, and she never wanted it to be broken by others.

Although the record was not broken, Ji Ying seemed to have experienced the infinite glory of Lu Shaofu being secretly loved by the princess and attracting countless young ladies from aristocratic families. This feeling of floating in the sky made him have an illusion that not only his skills could match hers, but his appearance should also be no less impressive.

With the expression of a popular actor taking a grand bow after a wonderful performance, he looked around at the onlookers, ready to acknowledge the admiring glances from the palace people one by one.

However, when his eyes were only halfway through the journey, they met the gaze of a person. That gaze was very different, full of deep meaning, and piercing straight at him like a knife.

When Ji Ying recognized the owner of that gaze, his smug expression immediately froze, and he felt a chill from head to toe as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

The owner of that gaze was none other than Qiao Wan'er, who for some reason was mixed in with a group of palace servants in Xunfang Palace and watching his pot-tossing performance.
