At the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang, he knew that Ji Xiaotang had already made a choice.

However, can Qi Younian understand Ji Xiaotang's choice, or can he accept it? Qi Younian is not really naïve, but he still believes at this moment that he and Ji Xiaotang are still possible.

Ji Xiaotang is not naïve, but he may not have hope.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang are not people who give up so easily.

"Xiaotang ......" Qin Zhen pondered for a long time, some words he still didn't say after all, he just asked Ji Xiaotang, "Will Ayou understand?" ”

"Ayo, he'll always understand." Ji Xiaotang said.

Here, Steward Zhang entered the palace to report Ji Xiaotang's situation to the Empress Dowager Han, and the Empress Dowager Han knew that Ji Xiaotang was pretending to be sick in order to delay time. Naturally, she would not expose it, and while sending Qi Younian away, she sent the imperial doctor in the palace to treat Ji Xiaotang.

When Steward Zhang took the imperial doctor to Xinhuatang, Ji Xiaotang said that her condition had improved a lot.

"It's just in a hurry, without the slightest preparation." Ji Xiaotang hoped to be able to prepare before entering the palace.

Steward Zhang was instructed by the Empress Dowager Han, and seeing Ji Xiaotang's attitude change, he was also happy to push the boat. After the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated Ji Xiaotang, he said that Ji Xiaotang was fine, and Steward Zhang said that Ji Xiaotang could stay at home for another night and enter the palace tomorrow.

"Actually, the county lord is too careful, there is everything in the palace, and the county lord doesn't need to prepare anything." Steward Zhang said with a smile, "The county lord enters the palace. Naturally, it is different from those candidates for female officers. ”

Ji Xiaotang smiled and asked Gonggong Zhang to thank Empress Dowager Han on her behalf.

Master Ji Er personally sent Steward Zhang and the Imperial Doctor away, when these two people left. There is an extra purse with a lot of weight in the sleeve, especially the one that is steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang has been walking in front of the Empress Dowager Han for many years, and he has received countless red envelopes, but even he was slightly moved by the Xinhua Hall.

Ji Xiaotang is about to enter the palace, even if he only stays in the palace for a few days, he has to deal with everything in all aspects.

The world is difficult to do, and money is a horse. Second Master Ji was already generous, in order to make it easier for his daughter in the future, and he would not spare money.

Sent away Steward Zhang and the Imperial Doctor. Second Master Ji came back.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun also rushed over when they heard the news, and they were sitting at the head of Ji Xiaotang's bed with Mrs. Ji Er, and Mrs. Ji's eyes were red. Ji Xiaoyun was simply wiping her tears.

"Grandmother. Sister, I'm really fine. Ji Xiaotang thought that it was the matter of the imperial doctor, which made Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun misunderstand that she was seriously ill.

"We all know that." Old Lady Ji sighed.

She and Ji Xiaoyun were sad because they knew that Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's family affair was not successful, and Ji Xiaotang was going to enter the palace tomorrow.

"It's a good family affair, it's all said that it's nine, but it's just like this. The queen mother is too, what a big identity. Such shameless, for the sake of her own daughter. Just wronged our Xiaotang, I don't know who to marry Xiaotang to, if she wants to take revenge on Xiaotang in her heart, and deliberately find a bad in-law for Xiaotang, then how can it be good. …… It's a pity I can't see her, and if I do, I'll have to tell her apart! ”

Ji Xiaotang was originally uncomfortable, but when he heard Mrs. Ji say this, he almost laughed.

Mrs. Ji thinks a lot, and she thinks very simply.

If it's really as simple as Mrs. Ji thought, it would be good.

"Let my grandmother worry about me ~ again." Ji Xiaotang said softly.

"I'm just talking at home, and I can't really help you." Old Mrs. Ji sighed deeply, "Xiaotang, if it is used in the place of grandmother, you can just say it." Grandmother can do anything! ”

Mrs. Ji's words came from the bottom of her heart.

Although he knew that she couldn't help, Ji Xiaotang still couldn't dare to move.

Ji Xiaotang's entry into the palace has become a foregone conclusion, and everyone will discuss what preparations to make for Ji Xiaotang's entry into the palace.

"I don't need to prepare anything, I just asked Steward Zhang, the Queen Mother authorized me to bring a few more people to serve, I will bring Mama Cheng, Jin'er, Xiu'er, Yao'er and Bi'er, and bring some clothes and things with me, it's enough." Ji Xiaotang saw that Mrs. Ji was busy, and seemed to want to bring everything she thought of into the palace, so he hurriedly stopped her.

Ji Xiaotang said this, and was afraid that Mrs. Ji would not be willing, so he specially called Mama Cheng to come to him.

"Tell me, it's enough for me to bring these."

"Yes, we don't know anything about the palace, Mama is familiar with the palace, and if you want to bring anything, Mama will list it, and I will prepare it myself." Mrs. Ji Er was busy and said to Mama Cheng.

“…… That's what the county lord said. Mama Cheng said, even so, she carefully made a list.

The things that Ji Xiaotang needed to enter the palace were all available in Yanhua Hall, and Jin'er and Xiu'er took people to prepare.

"You have to bring more silver," Ji Er added beside him, "Bring some silver, and bring more gold beans and gold leaves, and it is not cumbersome, or it is convenient to use it in the palace, or to dot it everywhere." ”

Mrs. Ji Er nodded in agreement when she was busy, and hurriedly went to prepare.

"Gold and silver, your father and mother are enough, I won't give it to you." Mrs. Ji also wanted to contribute to Ji Xiaotang, "I went to Beijing this time and brought some calligraphy and paintings left by the old lady back then. I don't understand either, but the old lady said it was precious, so I took it well. ”

Mrs. Ji brought these things into Beijing, originally preparing to give some to the second master Ji.

Ji Er's official work went very well, and these calligraphy and paintings were not sent out, and now she wants to give these calligraphy and paintings to Ji Xiaotang.

"Grandmother, I don't need this when I enter the palace." Ji Xiaotang refused to ask for it.

Mrs. Ji was in a hurry.

Although she doesn't have much knowledge, in the past few days since she entered Beijing, she has learned some things, and she knows that Ji Xiaotang has paid too much to maintain the peace of the Ji family. She really wanted to help.

Ji Xiaotang saw that Mrs. Ji was in a hurry, and didn't dare to say anything more about not accepting it.

"Thank you, grandmother. These are all rare good things, and they are sure to be of great use. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Mrs. Ji smiled at this time.

Everyone was busy preparing things for Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaoyun helped pack up two clothes. Seeing that there was no one around Ji Xiaotang, he walked over, and sat beside Ji Xiaotang for some periods.

Ji Xiaotang saw that she had something to say.

"What's the matter with my sister?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Xiaotang, I'm ......" Ji Xiaoyun wanted to say and stopped.

"Sister has something to say."

"I'm sorry for you." Ji Xiaoyun's face flushed slightly, and her eyes that had just cried were a little moist~ moist.

Ji Xiaotang was a little strange.

Where did Ji Xiaoyun do something sorry for her.

"That's right." Ji Xiaoyun choked up.

At first glance, when I heard the news that Ji Xiaotang was going to marry Qi Younian, although it was not sudden, Ji Xiaoyun still couldn't accept it. She thought of Xie Huaijin. I feel that Ji Xiaotang is so sorry for Xie Huaijin.

Although, there is no marriage contract between Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin, and. When Xie Zhixian gradually revealed his feet, the Ji family had already given up the idea of marrying the Xie family.

"However, I always feel that Huai Jin is too pitiful. Xiaotang, if you don't care about him in the future. He is even more pitiful......"

Ji Xiaoyun herself knew in her heart that there was no reason for her to blame Ji Xiaotang like this, but she still blamed Ji Xiaotang, or more, because she was sorry for Xie Huaijin.

Hearing Ji Xiaoyun say this, Ji Xiaotang understood.

When I heard the good news, only Ji Xiaoyun and Mama Cheng were not so happy, it turned out. The reason why Ji Xiaoyun is unhappy is here.

But now, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's family affair. was forcibly broken up by the Empress Dowager Han. Ji Xiaoyun not only no longer blamed Ji Xiaotang, but also wronged Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, I'm sorry for you, you won't blame me." Ji Xiaoyun choked up and said.

Ji Xiaotang could only sigh.

She understands Ji Xiaoyun's character, how could she be so senselessly angry with her.

"No, I don't blame you." Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaoyun that not only did she not blame Ji Xiaoyun, but was a little relieved. Ji Xiaoyun doesn't like to say anything in her heart, she is okay in front of Mrs. Ji, and she has almost nothing to say to her and Mrs. Ji.

Now, if Ji Xiaoyun is willing to tell her something like this, it shows that Ji Xiaoyun has opened her heart to her and really regards her as a relative and a sister.

"I went to the palace, and in the future, I will rely on my sister for the affairs of the family." Ji Xiaotang took the opportunity to instruct Ji Xiaoyun, "In addition to accompanying my grandmother, I should also talk to my mother more." If there is anything, tell our mother, don't hold it by yourself. ”

Ji Xiaoyun nodded.

"I know. However, Xiaotang, it's not like you're not coming back. ”

Ji Xiaotang's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, my sister is right, it's not like I won't come back." ”

This time she entered the palace, she knew better than anyone the risks she was going to face.

Second Master Ji, Second Mrs. Ji, and even Old Lady Ji and Ji Xiaoyun are only vaguely aware of it.

However, everyone avoids this point, as if this risk does not exist as long as it is not mentioned.

Of course, Ji Xiaotang won't say anything.

No matter what, she will try to come back alive.

When the lamp was in hand, Ji Xiaotang simply ate dinner, and was talking to Mrs. Ji Er and Mama Cheng under the lamp, when someone outside came to report that Qi You was coming.

Qi Younian knew that Ji Xiaotang would enter the palace tomorrow, so he took the time to rush over from Jingci Nunnery.

Second Master Ji came in with Qi Younian.

Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang and didn't speak immediately, but he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji sighed to each other, and the two quietly went to the next room. Mama Cheng also waved her hand at Jin'er and Xiu'er, and the three of them retreated to the door of the house to wait.

"Ayou......" Ji Xiaotang stood up and stretched out his hand to Qi Younian.

Qi Younian walked over and shook Ji Xiaotang's hand.

"Xiaotang, everything is bad for me." For Ji Xiaotang's decision to enter the palace, Qi Younian did not blame Ji Xiaotang, he only blamed himself.

If he was strong enough, then Empress Dowager Han would not dare to treat him like this, and she would not force Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace.

"How can I blame you for this." Ji Xiaotang shook his head.

Even if Qi Younian is strong enough, unless he is in the city for Ji Xiaotang, it is impossible for Empress Dowager Han to give Ji Xiaotang to him.

"If I never knew Changning, that's fine." Qi Younian said again.

"Ayou, Empress Dowager Han did this. It's not just Changning. Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian.

As long as you think about it a little, Qi Younian doesn't understand this truth.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Qi Younian had been hit. There is even some self-pity.

"Ayo, this doesn't look like you anymore." Ji Xiaotang withdrew her hand, she knew that her departure would be a big blow to Qi Younian, but she didn't want Qi Younian to be depressed because of this. Or even collapsed.

"Ayou, you are the god of war in the army, and you are also my eternal god of war. I don't want to see you like that. "On the battlefield. Qi Younian should be invincible and invincible, so that the enemy will be terrified. And in front of her, what Ji Xiaotang wants to see is always the smiling Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang never wanted to see him. The frustrated Qi Younian.

"Ayo. This is my grandmother's hope and my hope. ”

No matter what happens, they should never give up and never give up.

"Ayou, this is your agreement with me." Only then did Ji Xiaotang stretch out a hand to Qi Younian.

At this moment, Qi Younian's eyes had lit up again, completely taking off Fang Cai's dejected aura, and the whole person seemed to be a sharp sword about to come out of its sheath. Sharp and restrained, but mighty.

"Xiaotang. Thank you for waking me up. The descendants of the Qi family will never give up. ”

Qi Younian stretched out his hand, high-fived Ji Xiaotang as an oath, and then held Ji Xiaotang's hand tightly.

No matter what he said, he couldn't bear Ji Xiaotang.

Others didn't know the risk of Ji Xiaotang entering the palace, but after understanding the cause of Qin Min's death, he understood the risk that Ji Xiaotang was facing. It is precisely because of this that he blames himself so much.

"Ayo, I'll be fine." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian firmly that although she was not 100% sure, she had to make Qi Younian believe 100%.

"Yes, Xiaotang, you will be fine." Qi Younian also said very firmly.

The two of them glanced at each other, and this time, they were both a little unable to see through each other's intentions.

But there is one thing that they are sure of, they are trying their best to plan for each other.

"Ayou, grandmother, you can kowtow a few more times for me." Ji Xiaotang instructed Qi Younian. The night was long, but their time was limited.

"Hmm."

"You may be sad, but you can't be completely careless about your body. Eat on time, and rest every day, and your body is not made of iron. ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian talked a lot until the drum sounded in the third watch, and Qi Younian had to leave.

Two people are opposite, and thousands of words are turned into two words.

"Take care."

……

The next day, Ji Xiaotang said goodbye to Mrs. Ji, Second Master Ji, Second Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaoyun and others, and took Mama Cheng, Jin'er, Xiu'er, Yao'er and Bi'er to the second gate.

Qi Younian and Qin Zhen were already waiting at the door, and what surprised Ji Xiaotang even more was that Qin Lin also came.

They all came to send Ji Xiaotang into the palace.

It's just that Ji Xiaotang can't afford such a pomp.

"I have received the wishes of the two princes, but the two princes are also busy, so please go back. Ayou send me, that's enough. After only a few pleasantries, Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen and Qin Lin.

Ji Xiaotang's attitude can be said to be unpretentious.

Qin Zhen was used to seeing Ji Xiaotang like this, so he didn't care at all. The relationship between Qin Lin and Ji Xiaotang is not so close, the two have always been polite, and he is not annoyed at all when he suddenly eats a soft nail like Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin still insisted on sending Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang stood firm and refused to get into the car.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin couldn't, so they had to leave in a huff.

Ji Xiaotang got into the carriage at this time, Ji Er sat in a sedan chair, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaomu rode horses, and escorted Ji Xiaotang to the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Someone had already reported to the inside, and Steward Zhang took the palace maids and grandmothers out to welcome Ji Xiaotang. Second Master Ji and Qi Younian did not have such treatment, and the two of them could only say goodbye to Ji Xiaotang at the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Steward Zhang took Ji Xiaotang directly to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Han.

In the middle of summer, the Cining Palace is full of flowers, which is very different from the first two times when Ji Xiaotang came.

Ji Xiaotang met the Empress Dowager Han in the main hall of Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Han was full of smiles, and after Ji Xiaotang saluted, she asked Ji Xiaotang to sit beside her.

“…… Why is the body not very good? You young people, just rely on your young age and don't care about anything, if you fall into the root of the disease, when you reach my age, you will know that it is powerful, and you can't be careless. Empress Dowager Han first asked about Ji Xiaotang's illness, and when she heard Ji Xiaotang say that it was almost good, she affectionately counted Ji Xiaotang again.

said that it was a number, but the words were all very kind and considerate.

"Just when you come to the palace, I'll call the judge of the Tai Hospital to come back and take a closer look at you, what you need, I have everything here." As Empress Dowager Han said this, she sent two brocade boxes, but they were all extremely precious medicinal materials for nourishing yin and nourishing the body.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly thanked him and accepted it.

As soon as she entered the palace, she was entertained by the Empress Dowager Han and received a heavy reward, and in the eyes of everyone, she was obviously very favored by the Empress Dowager Han.

"Originally, I was going to summon you to the palace a long time ago, but I didn't have anything else, and I wanted you to come and talk to me." Empress Dowager Han told Ji Xiaotang again.

Now the selection of female officials in the palace has gone through the initial examination and the re-examination, and all the girls who have passed the re-examination have been arranged to live in the Chuxiu Palace, and in these two days, they will be personally selected by the Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing and Empress Han.

"Naturally, you don't have to squeeze with them, just stay in Cining Palace with me, and it's convenient to talk in the morning and evening."

With a word, Empress Dowager Han decided where Ji Xiaotang lived in the palace.

Ji Xiaotang's residence was arranged in the side hall of Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Han chatted with Ji Xiaotang for a while, and never mentioned Qin Min, let alone any marriage. Of course, Ji Xiaotang will not mention it rashly. In the end, Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked about Qi Younian.

"Why did you hear Steward Zhang say in a trance, in addition to your father sending you, the little marquis is also here?" Empress Dowager Han asked casually, and she didn't even look at Ji Xiaotang, but the corner of her eyes did not let go of the subtle changes in Ji Xiaotang's expression.

Ji Xiaotang smiled, smiling very calmly.

"My father and Ayou sent me together."

"Ayo!" (To be continued......)
