Chapter 217

"Then you go and lead the Nine Emperor Princes into the main hall first, and I'll be there later."

Le Ling was ordered to retreat, called Chu Qinghou, and hurriedly went to meet the Nine Emperor Princes outside the mansion.

After Chu Qing came, he asked, "Little lady, do you want me to inform the master and ask him to come over immediately." ”

"No need, a little thing, no need to make such a big fuss, I can handle it myself."

After Xue Qingyi finished speaking, he and Chu Qing went to the main hall of the Dingguo Mansion to "fill the hall".

Ji Yan stood with his hands in the hall, and when Xue Qingyi arrived, he noticed it, turned his head, and smiled at her.

Today Ji Yan is wearing a purple robe and a jade crown, no matter from which angle you look at it, this is also a good son who is as gentle as jade and has an outstanding demeanor, Xue Qingyi sighed, but unfortunately there is no fate between her and him after all.

After Xue Qingyi sat down on the main seat, he smiled at Ji Yan and said, "Nine Emperor Princes, please take a seat, come and watch the tea." ”

After Ji Yan sat down, a slave came in with hot tea.

"I don't know why the Nine Emperor Princes came? Today, my ancestor is entangled in official business, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to the Dingguo Mansion for a while and a half, so he can only entertain the Nine Emperor Princes with a little girl. Xue Qingyi smiled slightly.

The little lady in front of her has outstanding appearance, picturesque eyebrows, clear and bright eyes, looking at him with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, although she is smiling, the smile is not as good as the bottom of her eyes, and she has a faint alienation and defense against him.

Ji Yan's gaze was a little blurred and a little hurt.

In the end, there has been a gap of ten years between them, and some things have gradually faded with the passage of time, but the smart little girl who loves to laugh has always lived so vividly in his heart, and in countless lonely nights, it is her shadow that grows with him.

He survived so many lonely nights, and finally came back to this cannibalistic Jinling City, asking how could he let her go so easily.

She had fused with his blood, with his breath. But now I am afraid that he is the only one who has such thoughts.

Ji Yan smiled bitterly, "Qing'er, I'm your brother Ji Yan, have you forgotten?" When we were younger, we used to catch fish and play with flyflies. At that time, when I was scolded by my father and locked up in the mansion of the Nine Emperor Princes, you also sent someone to secretly bring me food. ”

"Your Highness, this is all a matter of childhood, and now we have grown up. It's impossible to play and joke like when she was a child, but Qing'er will still regard His Royal Highness as Qing'er's good friend. ”

It turned out to be just a good friend, Ji Yan's heart was like being stabbed by a knife, and blood was gushing down.

"That Xiao Rui, do you really like it?"

He looked at her with a faint gaze, and there was too much emotion hidden in his eyes.

Xue Qingyi ruthlessly ignored the affection in his eyes, "He is my husband, the father I personally selected." ”

This answer was like a sharp knife stabbed into Ji Yan's chest, making him feel painful.

Qing'er chose to say this in order not to make him sad, and she still hasn't changed this.

is still so kind as when he was a child, it seems that Qing'er is in love with Xiao Rui, and he is also Xiao Jialang's elegant and beautiful crown, which little lady would not like it.

Ji Yan touched the golden hairpin hidden on his chest, which he had been preparing for a long time. Originally, he planned to take it out and give it to her on the day he came back, but until now he has been hiding it close to him, and I am afraid that he will never have a chance to give it to her again.

If she didn't like Xiao Rui, he could snatch her desperately, but she clearly had that person in her heart, so what was the use of him liking her no matter how much he liked her.

"What are your Royal Highness's plans for coming back this time?" Xue Qingyi took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"Thanks to the grace of God this time, I return to Jinling, if the conditions allow, I plan to stay in the capital for a long time, and I will come to see you again at that time. We're ...... though. Ji Yan paused, the latter words did not say that they could not be husband and wife, but they could still be brothers and sisters.

Ji Yan pursed his lips, a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and said, "You can also treat me as your brother, with me, no one can bully you, not even Xiao Rui." ”

Chu Qing on the side couldn't help but be moved when she heard it, such an affectionate beautiful man, if the little lady chose her master first, I am afraid that the little lady will be difficult to choose.

"Tsing Yi has thanked His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes for his kindness." Xue Qingyi took out the "Paramita Heart Sutra" that had just been copied this afternoon and solemnly handed it to Ji Yan, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has handed over the affairs of the Laba Festival to His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince, Tsing Yi is here to congratulate His Highness, this is a Buddhist scripture that Tsing Yi just copied by hand this afternoon, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes to accept it." I hope it will be useful to His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, His Majesty has built temples for the past year, and this time the Laba Festival also specially invited the master of the three bitters to come to Jinling to teach, the meaning of which is self-evident. Your Highness This is a great opportunity, as long as Your Highness handles the affairs of the Laba Festival, it is not difficult to live in Jinling for a long time. This scripture has a deep meaning, and I hope that His Highness will take a good look at it when he returns. ”

Ji Yan's eyes burst out with a fine light, and his eyes shone brightly, even Gao Yuan, the staff member who accompanied him, also had his eyes lit up, he didn't expect that Xue Niangzi of the Dingguo Mansion still had such foresight, and the little lady that the Nine Emperor Princes fancied was really not bad.

Ji Yan took it cautiously and put it in his arms, "Qing'er, don't worry, I will study carefully after I go back." ”

"Last time I came to the house in a hurry, I didn't prepare anything, but today I came here to bring some tea and calligraphy and paintings to my grandfather, and I hope Qing'er will accept it on my behalf."

Ji Yan has always called himself me in front of Xue Qingyi, and the slaves and maids below heard it a little weird, but Xue Qingyi and Ji Yan didn't care.

"Then I will thank His Highness Nine for his kindness on behalf of my grandfather." Since Ji Li said that it was a gift to his grandfather, Xue Qingyi couldn't bear to refuse him again.

"That Ji Yan has said goodbye, now the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion has just been renovated, and the smell inside is strong, so it is not suitable for hospitality. After a while, I will invite Guogong and Qing'er to the mansion for a while, and Qing'er must come at that time. Your Majesty, you have been rewarded with a lot of good things, and if Qing'er likes it, you can choose it. ”

Xue Qingyi smiled and said, "Then I won't keep Your Highness, Your Highness, please." ”

Ji Yan's face darkened, and he got up to say goodbye.

Watching the Nine Emperor Princes and his staff walk out of the main hall, Chu Qing immediately asked, "Little lady, are you planning to have contact with this Nine Emperor Princes again." ”

Chu Qing has been serving by Xue Qingyi's side for so many days, and she can more or less guess her thoughts, and the little lady took out the scriptures to the Nine Emperors, and Chu Qing guessed that the little lady must have something in her heart.

Xue Qingyi looked ahead, her eyes were as bright as water, she smiled and said, "I don't know." (To be continued.) )
