Chapter 124: Writing Love Letters
Following Ning Yunxi's instructions, Gao Jing prepared everything.
Tong Xinzhen's portrait was copied by an artist based on an old painting.
The jade pendant engraved with the symbol of the Tong clan's identity is one of Fang Renshu's relics.
Back then, before Fang Renshu announced that the child's biological father was Tong Xinzhen, he obtained this jade pendant and pretended it was a token of love. Later, the Tong clan disappeared, and the jade pendant remained in Prince Dijin's palace.
Everything is ready. Next, we just need to lure Ning Jiewei over and the plan can be implemented smoothly.
Ning Yunxi came up with a very simple idea.
"Have my brother write a letter in person, saying that he suspects I have ulterior motives, but it is difficult to find out. Fourth sister is my family member, and visiting and chatting with me will not arouse my suspicion, so I beg her to help me."
"Remember to ask my brother to praise her a few times to move her heart. It would be best if you could explain that you rejected her in public because you were too shy."
Gao Jing responded and left, and came back soon.
Seeing that he had empty hands, Ning Yunxi blinked her clear almond-shaped eyes with a hint of confusion.
"What about the letter?"
"Has it been sent to Ning Mansion?"
Gao Jing's eyes flickered and his face looked embarrassed.
"The prince seemed angry and refused, saying that he had no charm and it was difficult to seduce her. Please use the beauty trick and don't choose him."
Ning Yunxi felt helpless after being seen through by Yan Yu, and it lingered in her heart.
She just wanted to be lazy, why refuse?
My brother has a handsome appearance and a beautiful complexion. Isn't it a pity if he doesn't use the beauty trick?
"understood."
"I'll find another way."
"Master Gao, take care."
Gao Jing took his leave and turned to leave.
Ning Yunxi glanced at him tentatively to confirm that he had gone away, then turned to instruct Qiu Bi.
"Go find someone who can imitate handwriting."
"It doesn't matter if you spend more money, but remember to find a replica that is as lifelike as possible."
Qiu Bi hesitated slightly, then responded.
About an hour later, someone arrived.
"I, Di Jun, greet Princess Yuexi."
Ning Yunxi smiled politely, took out a corner of the letter Yan Yu had written to her, and handed it over.
"Write a love letter in this person's handwriting."
Di Jun raised his eyes slightly to confirm, then walked over with his head down and took a corner of the paper with both hands.
"Yes."
"Excuse me, my lady, what kind of love letter should I write?"
"Or should I prepare a few for you to choose from?"
Ning Yunxi glanced at the desk and continued explaining.
"I have already written the contents of the love letter in advance. You just need to copy the handwriting."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Di."
Di Jun buried his head deeper.
"The people are terrified."
"It is my great honor to be able to share the princess's worries."
Ning Yunxi smiled and gestured for him to come in.
"Please write it."
Di Jun responded, bowed, walked to the desk politely, and began to imitate the handwriting.
Ning Yunxi followed him and watched him copy, smiling with satisfaction.
"Mr. Di did a very good job of imitating it."
Di Jun felt ashamed as he was told.
"My Lord, you are too kind."
Soon, he finished writing, but instead of putting down the pen, he dipped it in ink again.
"Excuse me, Princess, should I write your title or your maiden name at the end of the signature?"
Ning Yunxi smiled faintly and answered naturally.
"Just write it down, Yan Yu."
Di Jun's smile suddenly disappeared, and he forgot his manners for a moment, turning to look at her in disbelief.
"Yan...Yan...King Dijin?!"
Ning Yunxi blinked in confusion.
"Well, that's him."
"what happened?"
Di Jun hurriedly and quickly tore the love letter into pieces, then knelt down heavily in fear.
"Princess, please forgive me. I would never dare to do that!"
As he said this, he kowtowed deeply, wanting to cry but without tears.
"I have an 80-year-old mother and a newborn grandson. I have no choice but to serve the princess, but I cannot take my whole family with me. I beg the princess to show some mercy!"
Ning Yunxi reached out with both hands, wanting to help him up, but he refused.
"It'll be fine, just don't worry."
"Even if something happens, I will bear it alone."
"It's just a love letter. I'm not asking you to copy an imperial decree. It's really okay."
Di Jun was so frightened that his whole body was shaking.
"No, no, no... I dare not..."
"I am willing to commit suicide. I only ask the princess to spare my family!"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with helplessness.
"You said that, when did I ever want your life?"
"Well, forget it if you don't dare."
"Qiu Bi, please see the guests off."
Di Jun left anxiously.
Afterwards, Ning Yunxi found a few more people, and they all had the same reaction.
Afterwards, Ning Yunxi used a little trick to divide the love letter into two parts, and asked someone to imitate the name at the end of the letter.
I didn’t expect that they didn’t even dare to write their names.
Then, she changed it again and asked it to be written about Prince Di Jin.
Still no one dares to write.
As we were busy, the sun set and it was already evening.
Qiu Bi finished preparing dinner and finally got a chance to rest.
"Princess, this won't work. How about we think of another way?"
"Who dares to offend the majesty of King Dijin?"
"The princess did not have the imperial decree's permission, so she asked someone to write the love letter for her. This is equivalent to asking them to enthrone the emperor and empress as commoners. No matter how many people are replaced, the result will be the same."
Ning Yunxi lay lazily on the recliner, feeling devastated.
"I already know."
"But he is my brother, he is from the 22nd century, he is not a true Yuesheng person, he doesn't care about the hierarchy between the monarch and his subjects. If he knew about this, he would be angry for a few days at most, but it is impossible for him to bring disaster to the whole family."
"Is it really that scary?"
Qiu Bi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We are the only ones who know the prince's true identity. How did they know it?"
"Hasn't it true that kings throughout history are not to be offended by the majesty of heaven?"
"Let alone staying out of it, even if I knew everything, I would not dare to write a love letter for you. I dare to advise you that the princess's actions are really a bit disregarding of the rules."
Ning Yunxi raised her body slightly and brushed her long hair to both sides.
"Then I'll find another way."
"Is dinner ready?"
Qiu Bi nodded and smiled.
"it is done."
"My lord, are you hungry? I will arrange for the food to be served right away."
Thus passed the night.
Ning Yunxi hadn't woken up yet when she heard Qiu Bi banging on the door in agitation.
"Princess, Princess, wake up! The guard at the gate reported that the fourth lady is coming towards Yuexi Mansion!"
Ning Yunxi woke up in shock, got up and opened the door.
"She came here on her own?"
Qiu Bi nodded in surprise.
"Yes."
"Guarding Lord Ge, it was his turn today. When the carriage passed by the Ningguo Mansion, I heard a complaint coming from the quiet roadside."
"I lifted the curtain and saw the fourth girl getting into the carriage, talking to herself."
She learned how to imitate Ning Jiewei from Lord Ge.
"My mother cries all day long, always nagging about her second son. It's so annoying. It's just a misunderstanding, how can I not persuade her to come back? Today, I will go to Yuexi Mansion and meet that idiot. How difficult can a few words be?"
After learning, she smiled with surprise again.
"So, the fourth girl came here by herself."
"I think they don't know yet that the second young master has returned to the Zhuang Mansion, so they ran to Yuexi Mansion to look for him."
"Lord Ge asked me to ask the princess, if she asks for an audience, how should I respond?"
Ning Yunxi thought for a moment, then whispered to Qiubi about the strategy...
