Fuji King's Mansion.

Since the flood, the eldest lady returned to the Fujiwang Mansion, and her relationship with Ji Cheng has been stiff. It wasn't until that day that the second son, Ji Chen, caught the crab with his own hands, and pulled the eldest lady and Ji Cheng to have a family meal together, that the family broke the ice, and after that, the three of them often ate together, and the suspicion between Ji Cheng and the eldest lady's mother and son gradually disappeared.

As the relationship between the family eased, Ji Chen gradually took over some things in the Fujiwang Mansion and became a general manager in the Fujiwang Mansion. Even the prince Ji Cheng saw those guests every day, how many gifts he received, and what arrangements he had for tomorrow, all of this fell into Ji Chen's eyes.

It's still raining in Fujishi, and it's been drizzling for ten days. The rain was not strong and intermittent, and the vine city was cloudy all day long, and the clothes of the people in this city seemed to be dry for a day.

"You really believe in your younger brother, don't you know that he has taken refuge in the Queen Mother" Su Yunsheng rode a horse and looked at Ji Cheng standing in front of the horse: "I entered Beijing this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, and there is no one around you to protect me, so you should be careful, especially your younger brother, you have to guard against it"

"It's not that I don't know martial arts, where ordinary people are close to my body, you don't have to worry about my brother's affairs." Ji Cheng frowned, and his eyes were very heavy: "But when you enter Beijing this time, you must be low-key, and your whereabouts must not be discovered by my father." ”

"I know, there are masters around the prince, and I will pay attention to hiding myself."

"Well, I'm sure you can do it." Ji Cheng sighed and said, "Be sure to find out what my father is doing." Why do you hide it from me? ”

"Yes, don't worry." Su Yunsheng nodded: "Then don't leave it at that, the prince must take care." ”

Ji Cheng nodded: "Go and come back quickly." No matter what you find, don't act rashly, and don't startle the snake. ”

"Yes."

After Su Yunsheng left the Tengwang Mansion, the Tengwang Mansion was calm until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the repair craftsmen of the Fujiwang Mansion also returned home, and the originally noisy Fujiwang Mansion quieted down.

Chu Heng took Jiang Lan to the garden every day as usual. Boiling medicine for Jiang Lan every day, Jiang Lan's mental state has stabilized a lot.

On this day, Chu Heng took Jiang Lan to visit the garden and returned to Qianjialou. Ji Cheng, Ji Chen, and the eldest lady were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, eating around the table. Chu Heng stepped forward to say hello and went back to the second floor directly. She had just arrived on the second floor and sent Jiang Lan back to his room. I heard crying from the first floor.

Chu Heng was curious. He walked back to the staircase and listened.

Tan Yan'er came, standing at the door of Qianjialou and crying.

"The eldest lady, the prince, this jade pendant is indeed my father's, and it fell on the branch outside the weeping flower gate, thinking that it was washed up by the water" Tan Yan'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "The concubine knows that the princess has been helping the concubine find her father, but she hasn't been able to find it after so long." Concubine"

"Yan'er, don't be upset. As soon as the flood passed, Fujicheng suffered heavy casualties, and the manpower in the master's hands was insufficient, and it was indeed insufficient to find people" Ji Cheng paused, and said: "You come over to eat first, you can rest assured, your father's affairs, the master will definitely take it to heart." ”

Tan Yan'er cried twice, and then said leisurely: "The concubine wants to go to Guanghua Temple to burn incense and pray for her father." ”

Ji Cheng frowned, and thought for a while before nodding: "Guanghua Temple is some distance away from Fuji City, let Ling Jiu bring a team of guards to protect you." ”

Tan Yan'er burst into tears and laughed, she took out a handkerchief from her cuffs, wiped her eyes, and asked her subordinates to move a chair and eat together at the table.

After the meal, Tan Yan'er and the eldest lady left first, and only Ji Cheng and Ji Chen were left in the house.

"Big brother, where has Su Gongzi gone, why haven't you seen him for a day" Ji Chen poured tea for Ji Cheng while carefully probing.

"I have a task for him to do, you ask." Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows, and said, "Tonight's matter is very important, you can get ready"

"Naturally, I'm ready, and I won't be out of the half-point spread pool." Ji Chen smiled, put the teapot back on the table, and sat down on the edge of Ji Cheng: "The news has been released for seven or eight days, and I have found a lion dance team from other towns to help the fun, and lanterns have been hung on the main roads in the city. ”

"What about the people in the dance studio, how are they preparing?"

"Don't worry, they have been practicing with Miss Chu every day these days, from sunrise to sunset, there will be no mistakes."

Ji Cheng nodded: "I hope everything goes well." ”

"Then I'll go and have a look, the eldest brother is also ready to prepare, and in another hour, the parade will begin."

"Go ahead, make sure you keep an eye on every link."

After Ji Chen left, Ji Cheng turned around and went up to the second floor of Qianjia Building.

Chu Heng stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for him with a smile: "Lord Shizi, are you ready for the parade?"

"Don't worry, it's fine." Ji Cheng paused, and then asked, "Are you sure that the rain will stop tonight?"

"Naturally, it will stop." Chu Heng's face became serious: "Lord Shizi, please believe Heng'er, Heng'er is still a little confident in looking at the sky." ”

"Then won't the rain fall tomorrow?" Ji Cheng held on to the handrail of the stairs, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes: "Do you know that this rain is intermittent, but every time the rain stops, it will not stop for two hours, and then a new rain falls." ”

"No, it won't." Chu Heng looked determined: "After tonight, the clouds in Fujicheng will disperse, and I am afraid that there will be no rain in the past month." ”

Ji Cheng nodded when he heard this: "Since you say this, the master naturally believes you." ”

Chu Heng nodded, and walked downstairs towards Ji Cheng: "Heng'er still has to go to see the people in the dance workshop again, after all, they dance softly on weekdays, and I'm really afraid that they will have temporary stage fright." ”

"Okay, it's good to pay more attention." Ji Cheng turned sideways to make way for Chu Heng.

Chu Heng crossed Ji Chen, went down the stairs, and walked out of the Qianjia Tower in the direction of the Buddha Hall. Because it is claimed that these dancers bathe and fast every day, these dancers live near the former site of the Buddhist hall.

Chu Heng left Qianjialou. Ji Cheng went up to the second floor.

Ji Cheng first walked outside Jiang Lan's house, pushed open the door, and looked at Jiang Lan for a while. Jiang Lan was still stupid and stupid. Ji Cheng looked at Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan also looked at Ji Cheng with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if your brain can be cured, maybe Su Yunsheng's medicine is too fierce, leaving a permanent wound on your brain." Ji Cheng paused and said: "But you are also a son to pay off your mother's debts, your mother bullied Su Yunsheng so much back then, and now you have suffered these crimes." Nor is it wronged. ”

Jiang Lan didn't understand what Ji Cheng was saying at all, he only tilted his head and looked at Ji Cheng with a puzzled expression.

Ji Cheng stepped into the house. Standing in front of Jiang Lan's eyes, his voice also cooled down: "You are stupid, a stupid prince is too useful to me." ”

"So I didn't want to kill you. Stay with you. I am famous for everything I do, I was a loyal and good general before I usurped the throne, and I am still a benevolent monarch after usurping the throne. ”

"Wait for me to lay down the capital, and then let you write the edict of the Zen throne, I will ascend the treasure, and then offer you in the palace, and meet the courtiers with you during the New Year's Festival, and then the people of the whole world dare to say that my throne is not right"

"They will only scold your mother. Today's queen mother says that she is a chicken Si Chen. The demon woman harms the country. ”

"You are outcast, and thanks to my assistance, you have the opportunity to kill your mother with your own hands."

"No, it should be called righteous annihilation."

"After you killed your relatives in righteousness, you felt that you were unfilial and had no intention of ruling the government, so you gave me the throne."

"With me, the world can return to Kangning Taiping."

Ji Cheng paused, and looked at Jiang Lan's eyes becoming more and more cold and ruthless: "You say, such a good script, why can't you obediently accompany me to act?"

Jiang Lan still looked confused, looking at Ji Cheng's eyes with apprehension and puzzlement.

"You are stupid, Chu Heng takes care of you every day, and now in her eyes, you are afraid that the most important thing is."

"But I can't stop her from taking care of you, you say, what else can I do but kill you?"

"But you're so useful to me now, I really can't kill you."

"But fortunately, Chu Heng is about to marry me, after we get married, I will send someone else to take care of you, if you pester Chu Heng again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ji Cheng snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the door, raised his hand and closed the door.

Jiang Lan sat on the chair at the door, staring at the crack in the door in a daze, he didn't understand a word of what Ji Cheng said just now.

In the Furong courtyard, the eldest lady was pulling Ji Chen to speak.

"Son, tonight is a major event in our Tengwang Mansion, if Chu Heng's blessing is successful, and the rain really stops, the people will praise our Tengwang Mansion for being blessed by heaven and earth, this is a matter of both glory and loss, you must not make trouble for your eldest brother at this moment." The eldest lady paused, and then said, "We can have many opportunities to trouble your eldest brother in the future." You must know that your mother is all for you, your mother pretends to be smiling with your eldest brother every day, and finally got you the opportunity to help your eldest brother do things, and now the strength in your hands is not strong enough, at this time, it is too unwise to hit a stone with an egg. ”

"Mother, I'm not making trouble for my eldest brother." Ji Chen's eyes were lowered, and his fist was clenched, as if he was extremely angry in his heart: "If this matter is successful, although the Tengwang Mansion will benefit a lot, but Chu Heng's benefit is not also great, I am afraid that after this incident, the people can really regard this dead girl as the reincarnation of a god." ”

"You want to find Chu Heng's trouble" The eldest lady's brows furrowed even deeper: "Chu Heng has calculated you, but haven't you suffered any losses, your eldest brother and Tan Yan'er have swallowed bitter water by themselves, why should you be more serious." ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he suddenly looked up at the eldest lady, and stopped talking with a look on his face.

The eldest lady patted the back of Ji Chen's hand comfortingly, paused and said, "What's more, thanks to Chu Heng, you have a relationship with Tan Yan'er, and it's also a good thing that Tan Yan'er is willing to help you now." ”

"My son doesn't need her help." Ji Chen now has a headache when he thinks of Tan Yan'er. Since the last time I saw Tan Yan'er in Furong Courtyard, Tan Yan'er always sent a maid named Cha Mei to send letters to herself, asking her to go to various places. Ji Chen excused herself in every possible way, thinking that Tan Yan'er would retreat in the face of difficulties, but just yesterday, this Chamei actually came to her again, saying that Tan Yan'er was going to leave Fujicheng to go to Guanghua Temple to pray for her father, and before leaving, Tan Yan'er would wait for her in a small temple on the outskirts of the city.

"Why is your face so bad" The eldest lady saw that Ji Chen's face was white, and hurriedly reached out and touched his forehead: "But I am too tired after the past two days of busy work, and I have a fever."

"My son is fine." Ji Chen shook his head: "Mother, my son can handle his own affairs by himself, then Tan Yan'er, my mother should not deal with her in the future." ”

"You idiot." The eldest lady put down the hand resting on Ji Chen's forehead and glanced at Ji Chen: "What are you afraid of, then Tan Yan'er is not a good thing, you have a relationship with her, what is there to feel guilty about." ”

Ji Chen shook his head and was silent.

The eldest lady hated iron and steel, and reached out and hammered Ji Chen's shoulder: "Do you think Tan Yan'er is just a princess, and there are many old subordinates of General Tan standing behind her, otherwise why do you think the prince would marry her?"

"Tan Yan'er is just a woman, now that General Tan is gone, General Tan's old department has long been subordinated to the eldest brother, and the son is good friends with Tan Yan'er, so it's useless."

"Let's just say you're stupid." The eldest lady sighed, took Ji Chen's hand, and said earnestly: "General Tan is dead, but General Tan's friendship with those old departments is still there, how could they be unwilling to take care of General Tan's orphans I believe that if anything happens in the future, Tan Yan'er personally begged to be in front of those old departments of General Tan, and they will definitely not refuse Tan Yan'er's request." ”

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "What my mother said, people in the army are the most affectionate. ”

"Hmm." The eldest lady nodded: "So this time, Tan Yan'er has an appointment, you have to go." ”

"Mother" Ji Chen was stunned, how did her mother know that Tan Yan'er had made an appointment with her

"Don't be surprised." The corners of the eldest lady's mouth raised slightly, and she laughed: "This Tan Yan'er is not completely stupid, in her heart, she knows how her father died, so she gave up your eldest brother and came to woo you." ”

Ji Chen was silent.

The eldest lady said: "Yesterday she told me that she wanted to meet you, but you always avoided her, so she begged me to come to me, let me persuade you." ”

The eldest lady stretched out her hand and pointed at Ji Chen's chest: "This Tan Yan'er, I'm afraid I hate your eldest brother even more than you." ”

Ji Chen lowered his head indifferently, and secretly said in his heart that he actually didn't have any hatred for his eldest brother, and it was you who hated his eldest brother. And that Tan Yan'er, every time she sees her eldest brother, she is like a fly seeing an egg, she is very happy, and she can't see that she hates her eldest brother in her heart

Tan Yan'er will be out of the city in a while, and she will rest near the temple on the outskirts of the city tonight. When the people of Fujicheng parade through the streets at night, you take advantage of the chaos to go out to see her. ”

Ji Chen took a deep breath and nodded: "It seems that it is not okay for my son not to see her." "To be continued
