A few years ago, when Zhou Jitong and Li Dan went to play in Buxian Garden together, they were still eleven or twelve years old.

Now the boy has changed and has become a handsome boy.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, when they are in their prime, their appearance has grown, they have the kind of son-in-law style that they grow up with pampering, and they do not lose their youthful spirit, even if they are not born beautiful, their appearance and bearing are not much worse.

Zhou Jitong led Li Chen to the old lady's residence, and thought in pieces as he walked: "I ran to Ganye Temple to pray for blessings, I see that you are bored in the palace on weekdays, but now that you can come out, you will walk everywhere." ”

Li Chen snorted lightly and said, "You care about me." ”

Zhou Jitong looked back at her with a delicate look, and couldn't help laughing, "Now that the sage uncle can't control you, how dare I care about you?" ”

Li Chen pursed his lips, looked at the environment of the Zhou Mansion, and was stunned for a moment when he passed by a courtyard. She seemed to see a figure dressed in crescent white clothes, with a long body and a straight waist, so she paused.

Zhou Jitong saw her stop, and also stopped, "What's wrong?" ”

"That's Song Jing?" Li Chenxiu was slightly picky, her eyes fell on the back of the young man Langjun, and she asked a little suspiciously.

Zhou Jitong was surprised and looked at Li Chen: "You actually recognize him?" ”

Li Chen told Zhou Jitong about the fact that she came back from the British Mansion that day and met Song Jing on the road.

"I didn't recognize him at first, but then Shu Zhi reminded me, and I remembered it."

Zhou Jitong looked at Song Jing, who was talking to the scholar next to him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to meet him, I also met him through a friend, I didn't know that he was the little master of Meizhuang when I didn't meet, I only heard a friend say that there is a Lang Jun, dignified and knowledgeable, is a rare gentleman, so I have the intention of getting acquainted." Later, after meeting, I found out that there had been a one-sided relationship. It just so happened that now on my grandmother's birthday, many friends came to congratulate me, and since Guangping was interested in the imperial examination, I thought about inviting him to come and meet my friends. ”

Princess Linchuan has always been famous, and she is also the princess who Wu Zetian admires and admires the most among the princesses of Taizong. Li Chen has known this aunt since she was a child, and she is knowledgeable.

Zhou Jitong is the youngest child of Princess Linchuan, young court training, under the teaching of Princess Linchuan, he has been good at reading since he was a child, and his temperament is gentle and polite. When Li Zhi wanted to choose a horse for Taiping, in addition to Xue Shao, Zhou Jitong was also a candidate he considered. It's just that Taiping has long been interested in Xue Shao, and Li Chen has added fuel to the fire, and then Li Zhi decided on Xue Shao very simply.

Zhou Jitong has always been keen to make friends with talented people like Song Jing, in his opinion, although these people are not as proficient in the way of fun as the sons of the family, but as soon as they speak, they can see the real chapter, and listening to these people say a few words is more refreshing than talking to the sons of the family for a day.

Li Chen said half-jokingly: "My cousin is really not interesting, I met the old man, and I didn't say a word to Yongchang." ”

Zhou Jitong was silent, thinking: What kind of old man is Song Jing? You have lived in the palace for many years, and you want to say that you have any friendship with Song Jing, but when you were bored in the early years, you went to other people's Meizhuang for a walk, what old feelings do you have?

He complained in his heart, but he didn't forget to get down to business.

"Aren't you going to pay my grandmother's birthday and see your cousins again?"

The matter of this little ancestor's surrender really hurt my uncle, and when my mother entered the palace to see Her Royal Highness the Queen a few days ago, she also met the sage uncle. When my uncle heard that today was my grandmother's birthday, he gave him a lot of things, and by the way, he also said very tactfully that the matter of Yongchang's surrender has not yet been decided, and this little princess doesn't know what she thinks, and no one can say well. Sister A's aunt's birthday, presumably there will be a lot of young Langjun to go, why don't you look for Sister A?

When my mother heard this, she pushed the boat down the river, saying that the Zhou Mansion had invited someone to sing the opera, and Yongchang had never seen a play in the folk, so she would definitely feel fresh in her heart, so I simply invited her to the Zhou Mansion to play.

When my uncle and aunt heard this, they thought it was a very good idea.

Zhou Jitong felt that this little princess had been spoiled by the current saint and His Royal Highness the Queen, and there was no second princess who wore men's clothes to swagger through the city, of course, she was very low-key, even if she came to the Zhou Mansion to ask her mother to say goodbye, except for a few aunts, no one knew that this purple-shirted Langjun was Princess Yongchang, but she was sent by Princess Taiping's mansion to celebrate her birthday, and she was also very courteous.

Li Chen said: "I'll go see the old lady, and as for the cousins, they'll be gone." ”

Zhou Jitong looked at her expressionlessly, and his tone was very flat: "Don't hurt me, can you?" ”

Li Chen was fearless, and said with a smile: "No, don't look at it, I don't want to see any of those cousins." ”

Zhou Jitong didn't have a choice, and asked helplessly: "None of my cousins want to see me, so what do you want to see?" ”

Li Chen blinked, then raised his hand to the moon-white figure not far away, "I want to see something like that." ”

Zhou Jitong: "......"

Li Chen was not interested in any of his cousins, and just wanted to meet Song Jing. Zhou Jitong secretly complained in his heart, this little princess is loved by everyone when she is cute, she can make people feel sorry for her in their hearts, and she can also toss people when she is hateful, at least it will make him have the idea of slipping away.

It's a pity that Zhou Jitong can't slip away, because Li Chen said to Princess Linchuan: "Auntie, I see that among the people brought by my cousin, one of them has a good conversation, since my cousin can bring the old lady to pay homage to her birthday, he is naturally a very close friend, can Yongchang see him?" ”

Princess Linchuan was still a little hesitant at first, and Li Chen said again: "Auntie, don't think too much, Song Jing is the little master of Meizhuang, Yongchang also went to Meizhuang to play when he was a child, and he once had a few encounters with him, and my cousin and my fourth brother were also there at that time." ”

Princess Linchuan raised her eyes and looked at Li Chen in front of her.

Li Chen was very frank and said with a smile: "The hero doesn't ask where he comes from, I don't know how he will be Yongchang in the future, but Yongchang thinks that his cousin is trying to make friends with him, and he is also a humble gentleman." I also heard that he was going to participate in the imperial examination, so he must be a person with lofty ideals. ”

Princess Linchuan raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "There are many people with lofty ideals in the world, but there are very few people who are promising. ”

Li Chen pursed his lips and walked over to sit beside Princess Linchuan, "Auntie, don't you want Yongchang to come and see your cousins?" I've seen it all, no one is as good-looking as this Song Jing! ”

When Princess Linchuan heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you like embroidered pillows?" “

Li Chen pouted: "I don't like embroidered pillows, and he is not an embroidered pillow, I don't believe that my cousin will play with embroidered pillows!" “

Princess Linchuan has always attached importance to the friendship of several sons, and after Zhou Jitong met Song Jing, he often mentioned his new friends in front of his mother, saying how talented and his character was. Princess Linchuan admires Song Jing the most, not because of his appearance and talent, but because of his fearlessness in the face of the heirs of Zhou Guogong Wu. She is the daughter of Taizong, and the sister of today's sage Li Zhi, whether it is Wu Meiniang or the Wu family, she has never taken it seriously. Wu Meiniang no longer covers the sky with one hand, but she can't compete with Li Zhi's orthodoxy, the people of the Wu family used to have a Mrs. Rongguo who was very strategic, and she made a great contribution to Wu Meiniang's ascension and the consolidation of the lord of the harem, but unfortunately after Mrs. Rongguo died, the Wu family was all gone. Princess Linchuan has never put the people of the martial family in her eyes, she does not put people in her eyes does not mean that others do not take the martial family in their eyes, there are countless flatterers in the court, and there are many people who want to please the martial family.

Song Jing has no power in the court, and after being regarded as a high-ranking family among the people, he can be placed in Chang'an, so what is it?

Princess Linchuan also heard that Song Jing was a person who compared himself to plum blossoms. Hearing that Princess Linchuan thought he was cute and sharp, Zhou Jitong took Song Jing to say hello to her in order to show that his friendship with Song Jing was extraordinary. Her son hasn't brought many outsiders to see her for many years, but later brought Song Jing, which shows that he is also very close to him. Princess Linchuan felt that Song Jing was talented, advanced and retreated, except for his background, there was nothing that could not be compared with the nobles in Chang'an City.

But Princess Linchuan felt that she admired Song Jing, which did not mean that Li Chen would also appreciate Song Jing. In her opinion, Li Chen just saw too much of the style of these noble children, and now when she saw a unique Song Jing, she felt fresh in her heart. maybe, let her see that Song Jing as soon as she saw it, so that she eliminated the freshness in her heart.

So, Princess Linchuan responded to Li Chen and asked her to meet Song Jing accompanied by Zhou Jitong.

Zhou Jitong, who got his mother's order, had no choice but to lead Song Jing to the courtyard of his yard, and said to Song Jing as he walked: "My little cousin is very good-looking, because she is the youngest in the family, and her parents, brothers and sisters love her very much, so her temperament is sometimes inevitably willful. When you meet her later, if there is anything offensive in her words, please don't bother with her. ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, and then the sword flashed inside the door, and the blade of a sharp sword pointed very unkindly at the tip of his nose.

"Cousin, I heard you say bad things about me."

Zhou Jitong: "......"

Song Jing: "......"

The handsome little Langjun, who has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, has bright eyes and bright teeth, holding a sharp sword in his hand, staring at Zhou Jitong's eyes as if there are stars in them, although her sword is very unfriendly, but the expression on her face is smiling.

Zhou Jitong raised his hand and carefully moved the sword blade pointing at his nose to the side, "Cousin, the sword has no eyes." ”

Li Chen snorted with a smile, and the blade of the sword glowing with silver light slashed an arc in the air, neatly returned to its sheath, and then raised his eyes to look at Song Jing, "See you again." ”

Song Jing's gentle and handsome face showed a smile, arched his hand at her, and said, "A certain is Song Jing, the word Guangping." I have not apologized to you for disturbing you a few days ago. ”
