Ji Xia Mo went to the Zhongyi Palace, talked about the wind 'flowers' Xueyue, talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, enjoyed the snow and the scenery and the fragrance of tea, and the conversation did not involve the situation in the court from beginning to end. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ.

The next day, the virtuous king of Hujiong City entered the city, the virtuous king rode a majestic war horse as the leader, and the 'attendant' guard entourage was nearly 100 people, and the momentum was arrogant.

As King Xian entered the city, the situation in the imperial city became more and more turbulent, Feng Shaojin once came to visit, Ji Xiamo shirked the recurrence of the old disease, and closed the door to thank the guests.

The post of the New Year's palace banquet has been sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Su Jingyao 'finely' selected the royal silk to make some new clothes for Ji Xiamo to wear when preparing for the palace banquet.

Ji Xia Mo leaned on the stove and looked through the chess games, but unfortunately he was not talented enough, and he was bored to read the only chess games that had been handed down from generation to generation.

Lou Yin's palm tea 'flower' bloomed, twisted it and put it into Ji Xiamo's 'medicine' pot. Ji Xiamo put down the chess game and looked out of the house in contemplation.

Aoki entered the courtyard, followed by the slaves and maids in Su Jingyao's courtyard. "Childe, this is the costume of tomorrow's palace banquet, please choose Childe."

Ji Xiamo looked over, the 'fine', beautiful and 'gorgeous' costumes were noble and gorgeous, Ji Xiamo frowned slightly, pointed to a plain green brocade robe and said, "This one is left." ”

Aoki's expression hesitated, "Is the 'color' too plain?" ”

"The New Year's Palace banquet is a reunion, not to mention that I am no longer a teenager, and I wear so brightly 'colorful'."

Ji Xiamo's expression was reprimanded, Aoki didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to obey the order, "Yes." ”

Waving his hand to send Aoki away, Ji Xiamo's eyes were sad. Lou Yin walked up to Ji Xiamo's side, "Why are you worried?" ”

"When the virtuous king enters the city, he intends to 'desire' good and evil." Ji Xia Mo frowned. "I have heard about King Xian, the emperor's fellow brothers, after the emperor ascended the throne, he stayed away from the imperial city and guarded the border of Hujiong City."

"Although there is a virtuous title, the virtuous king is actually bloody and brutal, and it seems that he covets the throne. King Xian's fiefdom is in Hujiong City, holding tens of thousands of soldiers, and now the imperial city is 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and he is afraid that his intentions are not good when he enters the city at this time. ”

"Who ascends the throne has nothing to do with you, if you are always worried like this, I am afraid that your condition will not be cured." Lou Yin's expression was indifferent and cold.

"I'm afraid the palace banquet tomorrow night will be very dangerous." Ji Xia Mo sighed in a low voice.

(Day 2)

Ji Xiamo stood in front of the porch and looked at the fluttering snow 'flowers', thinking of the prosperity of the modern capital, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt sad and sad.

He hadn't thought about this for a long time, modern things seemed to be gradually getting shallower with time, maybe one day he would just be Ji Xiamo, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Dynasty, and there would be no trace of the prince of the Long family in the capital.

The fate of the family and his personal fate are all in the hands of the ruthless imperial power. Victory is the king, defeat is the villain, when the wind 'waves' calm the fate of the Ji family, what should be?

The ice and snow in Ji Xiamo's palm melted, and the crystal water droplets slipped down his fingers. The imperial city is full of dangers, lonely and sad, but there is no one to rely on.

"Childe, the carriages and horses for the palace banquet have been prepared." Under the Aoki corridor, he reminded Ji Xia Mo softly.

Ji Xia Mo stared at the withered grass in front of the bluestone steps, as if he had never heard of it. Aoki hesitated for a moment, slightly accentuating his voice. "It's cold in the snow, Childe is careful about his body."

Ji Xiamo glanced at the worried Aoki, tightened his cloak and said, "Let's go." ”

Ji Ye outside the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived, and Ji Xiamo bowed slightly, "Dad." ”

Ji Ye looked at the weak Ji Xiamo and sighed lowly, "Hurry up and get in the carriage, don't freeze." ”

Five years ago, Ji Xia Mo was seriously injured and returned home, he was in a coma all day long, his breath was empty, and he almost died, and the imperial doctor was hopeless, Ji Ye was grief-stricken and 'desired', and he seemed to have aged a lot in just half a year.

Ji Xia Mo survived his life, but he left the root of the disease hidden danger, and every time he got sick, he seemed to have to go to the palace of Hades.

Over the years, Ji Xia Mo has become thinner and thinner, how can he have the vigor he once had. Ji Xiamo's illness was unbearable, and Ji Ye couldn't sleep at night.

Ji Xiamo once teased that Ji Ye was the leader of the Ji family, but after countless nightmares that woke him up, Ji Ye secretly went to Meiyuan to make sure that Ji Xiamo was still alive, and then hid in the corner to wipe away tears.

Ji Xiamo sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at Ji Ye. Ji Ye often secretly went to Meiyuan to see him, Ji Xiamo knew it, he pretended to be very 'spirited' every time, but he didn't want Ji Ye to worry.

Ji Ye has just passed the year of not being 'confused', but he is already in the twilight of his year, Ji Xia Mo is full of guilt, and he no longer disobeys Ji Ye, as long as Ji Ye says it, he listens obediently.

However, the more well-behaved and sensible Ji Xiamo became, the more distressed Ji Ye became, and he never forced Ji Xiamo to do anything.

The carriage drove on the streets of the Imperial City, Ji Xiamo leaned on the soft pillow and pondered, next to Lou Yin, who was a thrush.

The slender fingers were thin from the pain, and the delicate skin was sickly pale, and the weakness seemed to be able to see the muscles and bones.

Ji Xiamo stared at his hands deeply, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and suddenly said, "I used to laugh at the uselessness of scholars, but now I am not as good as a scholar who has no hands to tie a 'chicken'." ”

"How can a mortal be compared to you?" Lou Yin closed his eyes and said.

"You once said that the soul seal is integrated with me, and the demon is afraid of cultivation and can get twice the result with half the effort, you can save me with the soul seal to protect my soul."

Lou Yin looked at Ji Xiamo, "That's right, your soul is not damaged, you just need to recuperate your body." ”

Ji Xiamo 'touched' the beast mark behind his ear, and whispered, "If Brother Jin has a soul seal, maybe save him?" ”

Lou Yin's eyes were sharp, and his momentum was instantly 'yin' and cold and piercing. "It's impossible."

"I'm just casually mentioning it, you don't have to be angry."

"The soul seal is integrated with you, there is no reason to take it out again, the soul seal is a magic weapon to recognize the master." Knowing Ji Xiamo's temper, Lou Yin's tone was decisive and did not leave any hope for Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo's eyes darkened, and he whispered to himself, "If Brother Jin didn't give me the Soul Seal, it would be great." ”

"If you hadn't sealed the soul seal, you would have been gone." Lou Yin said coldly.

He's better off now. Ji Xiamo closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace, Ji Xiamo opened his eyes keenly, and Aoki leaned close to the carriage and said, "Childe, it's the sedan chair of the third prince." ”

Ji Xiamo lifted the curtain and saw Ji Ye saluting Feng Yelan, as if sensing Ji Xiamo's gaze, Feng Yelan looked sideways.

Bumping into Feng Yelan's calm and indifferent eyes, Ji Xiamo nodded calmly, got up and prepared to get out of the car. "Horse-drawn carriages are forbidden in the palace, and you still need to walk after entering the palace."

The weather is cold, the road is slippery, the wind and snow are heavy, Aoki is worried about Ji Xiamo's body, but there are rules in the palace, and Aoki has to help Ji Xiamo down.

Ji Xiamo walked towards Feng Yelan and bowed, "Ji Xiamo sees the third prince, the princess." ”

"I heard that the old disease of the eldest son Ji recurred a few days ago, but I don't know if he is better now." Feng Yelan said.

Ji Xia Mo's eyes flashed with a different 'color', he has often been sick all these years, and a few days ago he just had an ordinary cold, these princes are well-informed. "Thank you for your concern, it's fine."

"This king has been busy with the year-end sacrifice recently, and he has never had time to visit his son, so don't blame him."

"Ji Xia Mo is a grass people, the prince really tormented me." Ji Xia Mo said in panic.

"Xiao Mo." Feng Shaojin walked from the palace and saw Feng Yelan arching his hand to say hello, "Third brother." ”

"See the Five Princes." Ji Xia Mo saluted.

"I know that you are frail, so I specially ask my father to take you into the palace." Feng Shaojin gestured to the sedan chair behind him.

The emperor specially approved, and the prince carried a sedan chair to greet him, but I am afraid that if he sits on this sedan chair today, he will inevitably gossip in the future.

Ji Ye looked at Feng Yelan and Feng Shaojin, and was about to speak, when Ji Xiamo suddenly interrupted. "The emperor is considerate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the grass people are here to thank our emperor long live." Ji Xia Mo knelt down and kowtowed.

Feng Shaojin's expression stiffened slightly, Feng Yelan's eyes flashed with a different 'color', and the corners of his mouth were imperceptibly raised.

Ji Xiamo sat in the sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the majestic palace, only to feel cold. The red wall is separated by two heaven and earth, and the inside of this palace wall is heavy and cold, like a closed prison, which makes people desperate and suffocated.

Feng Shaojin's sedan chair followed Ji Xiamo's side, Feng Shaojin looked at Ji Xiamo many times and stopped, Ji Xiamo put down the sedan curtain and pretended not to see it.

Nearly half an hour away, the sedan chair stopped in front of a courtyard, Feng Shaojin got off the sedan chair and said to Ji Ye, "Prime Minister Ji, there is still some time before the palace banquet starts, how about Xiao Mo let him rest here first if he is not in good health." ”

Ji Ye looked at Ji Xiamo hesitantly, although he didn't want Ji Xiamo to get close to these princes, he was also worried that Ji Xiamo's body could still hold up.

Ji Xia Mo smiled indifferently, "Father, let's go first, I'm also a little tired." ”

Ji Ye heard that Ji Xia Mo was tired, so he nodded decisively and agreed, "Then it will trouble the fifth prince." ”

Ji Ye followed the eunuch to the side hall, and Feng Shaojin took Ji Xia Mo into the courtyard, "This is the courtyard when I used to be out of the palace, and the palace 'girl' cleaned it every day." ”

Ji Xiamo followed Feng Shaojin and quietly listened to Feng Shaojin talk about interesting things when he was a child. Feng Shaojin took Ji Xiamo into the house, and the burning stove gradually warmed up Ji Xiamo's body.

Feng Shaojin poured hot tea for Ji Xiamo, his mouth was dry but he didn't see Ji Xiamo talking, Feng Shaojin's voice slowly became softer, and then fell silent.

"Xiao Mo, is there really only a stranger between you and me?" Feng Shaojin's voice was lost.

Ji Xia Mo looked at Feng Shaojin's appearance similar to his eldest brother, but he was no longer as mistaken as he once was. "The fifth prince is serious, but Xia Mo doesn't dare to climb high."

"In the past, the Imperial City was commensurate with brothers, and the rivers and lakes were dangerous and the 'friends' of life and death, but now you tell me that you don't dare to climb high." Feng Shaojin's emotions were 'excited'. "You and I used to talk about wine and laughter, what are those things."

"When I grow up, some things and some people naturally change." Ji Xia Mo looked directly into Feng Shaojin's eyes and said indifferently.

"But I mean it to you." Feng Shaojin said.

"But this sincerity is no longer pure."

Feng Shaojin was stunned for a while, his eyes looked at the wind and snow in the courtyard, and said softly, "This is the fate of the royal family, I can't hide from it." ”

Looking at the sadness that flashed in Feng Shaojin's eyes, Ji Xiamo felt desolate. The once chic and uninhibited young man who was happy and vengeful has been buried in the passing time, and now Feng Shaojin is a beast bound in a golden cage, and he can only fight if he wants to survive.

"I haven't forgotten anything, but I can't go back." Feng Shaojin has already participated in the seizure of the heir, and his own cultivation of the Qi 'Gate' Dunjia is definitely the object they hope to woo. If you are biased towards one of them, the slightest carelessness of the entire Ji family will be a disaster.

Ji Xia Mo got up and prepared to leave, "Five kings, since the war has begun, the wind and clouds are unpredictable, and the king is defeated and the life and death are up to you, you can do it yourself." ”

Ji Xiamo said that he left the courtyard by himself, presumably those people who were watching outside should also go back to their master, and it would be difficult to explain if he stayed any longer.

He knew that Feng Shaojin had no intention of being the Ninety-Five Honor, but there were too many people he cared about.
