Yaodong looked at Miss Cai Qi in the crowd for the first time, it turned out that this was a kind-hearted woman, which was convenient for others and herself, even if she bought a few baskets of cakes, she could not waste one, and she could dry them into cakes for her family to eat, which shows that she is not only kind-hearted, but also virtuous and decent.

Cai Tianxiang is a well-known upright courtier, the emperor once joked that he wanted his eldest granddaughter to enter the palace to serve, but he was very frightened, and since then, the emperor has not mentioned this matter.

Marrying a wife is a top priority, and Yaodong feels that he should know more about Miss Cai Qi.

At night, he cautiously approached the outside of the big wall of Cai's mansion, climbed over the wall, and came to an attic while looking around.

Miss Cai Qi sat in front of the piano table, playing a "Youlan Song" with love, a touching tear, a sentence like a poem and a song, the furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, and the mood is calming.

The girl opened the curtain and entered, "Miss, it's late at night, you have to rest." ”

Miss Cai Qi replied in a low voice, stopped playing, took the piano cover and covered it, took a copy of "Poems" casually, moved it to the boudoir, and said in a low voice: "My master didn't want to find Blood Snow Lotus to dispense medicine to people, and I don't know if I found it." ”

The girl looked regretful, "I heard that there is only one from the Queen Mother, but I'm afraid there is no one nearby." If he finds it, Daoist Yaofang won't let Miss ask for help. The girl sighed lightly, and said with a puzzled face, "The Taoist chief and the princess of the left shoulder are from the same door, if she goes to ask the princess of the left shoulder, this matter is not much easier, why should the young lady find it?" ”

Miss Cai Qi exhaled lightly, "Master doesn't want to ask Uncle Jiang for her own intentions. Master doesn't say. I don't ask. It's just that...... I can't talk to the Queen Mother. I begged my grandmother when I went back. Seeing that grandmother can say something to the Queen Mother, maybe she can ask for it. ”

Yaodong couldn't help but be surprised: Miss Cai Qi was actually a disciple of Yaofang's uncle, and he never knew that Lu Dao Yaofang had accepted disciples in the Imperial City, but he had accepted a few disciples in the rich families in the Imperial City, such as his two younger sisters worshipping under the Asking Heart Gate, and Ah Jiu's eldest daughter Yutong (small character Xuanyu) also worshipping under the Asking Heart Door.

A few days later, Yaodong went home from the palace and specially brought the blood snow lotus that he had begged from the Queen Mother.

It just so happened that I met Cai Qi in the downtown area again. Just like last time, Cai Qi was picking fresh oranges in the downtown area, and the mother-in-law who came with him was helping to move the purchased oranges to the car.

Yaodong rode a horse and approached Cai Qi, his expression was indifferent, he didn't have a good impression of Cai Qi, but it seemed that she urgently needed the Blood Snow Lotus to come in handy, and more importantly, Yaodong worshiped in the Guigu Palace to learn art, and Cai Qi was actually a disciple of Daoist Yaofang, and he was also a brother and sister of the same sect. Because of this relationship, he inexplicably became close to Cai Qisheng.

Cai Qi looked at him with a blank expression. He took out a brocade box from his arms: "What is given to you, you can use it." ”

Cai Qi hesitated whether to take over.

Yaodong almost commanded: "Take it!" Without saying much, he had already stuffed the brocade box into Cai Qi's arms.

When he walked away, Cai Qifang opened the box, and inside was a dried blood snow lotus, which was exactly what Daoist Yao Fang was looking for.

A few days later, Yaodong passed by the market early in the morning, but someone was there early, it was Cai Qi, who saw him saluting, and said without humility or arrogance: "Last time, the prince gave the little girl a blood red lotus, and the little girl has not thanked Hui Shizi." Although he spoke politely, Cai Qi showed a little timidity on his face, Xu heard that Yaodong likes to joke with people the most.

Yaodong's face was calm, and he changed his appearance of smiling and scolding, "It's hard to raise your hands, why worry about it." ”

Cai Qidao: "The little girl still has one more thing, I don't know if I should ask the prince?" ”

"You say."

Although Cai Qi knew that this was very abrupt, he still decided to say it, "I heard that the emperor has an ice toad there, but I don't know if the prince may borrow it." She was afraid that Yaodong would refuse, so she hurriedly said: "It's just borrowing, and the original thing will be returned after use." ”

Yaodong looked at Cai Qi, it was Blood Snow Lotus and Ice Toad, these are all rare things in the world, could it be that Cai Qi borrowed this thing to be of great use.

Yaofang Dao Chang originally practiced in the Five Grains View of Guigu Palace, but accepted Cai Qi as a disciple in the Imperial City, could it be that Yaofang arrived in the Imperial City? If he really went to the imperial city, shouldn't he go to the palace on the left shoulder to meet his mother?

"When I borrow it, someone will deliver it as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Teruko."

After Yaodong entered the palace, he begged the emperor to borrow the ice toad to come out, and sent it to Miss Cai Qi in person with his henchmen. His heart was full of doubts, and he immediately said to the left and right: "Pass on the second son!" ”

The little servant hurriedly said: "Back to the world, the second son went outside the city two days ago, you know the way, the second son worships under the main door of Zuoguan, and he has to go over to live for a few days every few days." ”

What does Cai Qi want these things for? It should be said that Daoist Yaofang can directly ask Su Yan, but she is willing to seek near and far, what is the reason? How do you think that if Daoist Yao Fang begged Su Yan, it would be easier to get these things than for him to beg for them.

Yaodong decided to find out, and went to Cai's house that night, from one to the second watch, Cai's family had fallen asleep, Cai Qi changed into black civilian clothes, took a girl who knew martial arts, carefully sneaked out of the house, and rode to the suburbs.

They didn't go to the Five Grains View, but the Demon Subjugation View.

In the incense room of the apse of the Demon Subduing Temple, the candles flickered, reflecting several familiar figures: the figures of Yaonan and Zuo Nutian, and the figure of a female Taoist. Looking at the stacked figures, Yaodong's heart couldn't help but sink, why was Yaonan there?

Cai Qi knocked on the door and called softly: "Uncle Shi, Master!" ”

Yaofang said softly, "Qi'er, come in." ”

Cai Qi pushed the door in.

Yaodong used the deepest light skill, like a fallen leaf to stay on the roof, and gently removed the green tiles.

Cai Qiqi opened the box, "This is the ice toad you just gotten." ”

Yao Fang sighed, "I've spent nearly ten years, and now I've finally got all the medicinal materials I need. Uncle Zuo, you can apply medicine to Yaonan, and I will personally protect the Dharma for you. ”

Yaonan's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Zuo Nutian with gratitude, and then at Yaofang, "Master, uncle, I don't have to suffer from heart disease anymore?" ”

Heart disease?

Yaodong's heart trembled, he knew that Yaonan's body was weak, and he was not as healthy as him and Yaozhong. But he didn't want Yaonan to suffer from heart disease.

Zuo Nutian looked doting. "Yonan. You will recover. It's just that for these seven days, you have to be cured with peace of mind, and the medicine has been exhausted. He turned to look at Yaofang and exchanged glances.

Over the years, Yaonan had to go to the suburbs to live for a few days every few days, not to learn art, but to cure diseases. Every time he got sick, he seemed to have a premonition. In front of So-yeon and her family, he always pretends to be calm. Looking back, Yaodong seems to have been much more indifferent than him and Yew Chung since he was a child, not because he can't be happy, but because he is too happy, he may be involved in heart disease.

Zuo Nutian heard a strange noise and shouted: "Who?" The whole person jumped up in the air, and when he got to the roof, he saw that it was Yaodong, and he couldn't distinguish the other party's appearance under the moonlight, Yaodong only defended but did not attack. Backed down and jumped off the roof, taking advantage of the lights in the house. Hearing Yaonan exclaim "Big Brother", Zuo Nutian retracted his moves and looked at Yaodong.

Cai Qi was shocked: "What we said in the house, you ...... Did you hear it? ”

Yaodong replied competently, "I heard it." ”

Yaonan looked ashamed, "Big brother, I have nothing to do with my ancestor and uncle, I want them to hide it from you and my father, when I was three years old, my ancestor was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease, and he once said that I may not live to be fifteen years old." I don't want you to be sad, so I beg them to hide it from you, after all, medicinal herbs are hard to find...... I...... I really don't know if I can find the whole way, if I can live longer. ”

Yaodong always thought that he was the most competent eldest brother, but at this moment, he realized his vulnerability, his younger brother actually used this way to protect his family from harm, and his heart trembled, "Fool, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Yaofang said: "It's important to treat the disease early." It's going to be seven days from now. ”

Zuo Nutian replied: "Move all the medicinal materials to the secret room, where they have been prepared in the morning." Yao Fang has been waiting outside the secret room to protect the Dharma for the past few days, and she must not let anyone disturb her. ”

Yaodong stayed outside the secret room until dawn, and Cai Qi was also accompanied by Yaofang, who sat cross-legged on a chair and sat down.

She glanced at it from time to time, Yaodong's bright eyes seemed to be exploring Cai Qi, it seemed that the young man and woman had a good feeling, she pretended not to see it, and continued to close her eyes to recuperate.

After dawn, Yaodong got up to say goodbye and returned to the palace, and the next day he still went to the court on an errand.

*

In the blink of an eye, it was the harsh winter of the lunar month.

Yaodong reunited with Cai Qi on the street several times, how did Ren joke with others, when facing Cai Qi, Yaodong had a serious face, he was lively when he was small, even if he was serious, he was smiling, which made people feel close. Sometimes, when he went out of the palace and passed through the West Market, he happened to meet Cai Qi leading his mother-in-law and subordinates to buy chickens and fish, or buy melons and fruits...... Occasionally, I see her with various colored silk threads.

He smiled and nodded at her, as if he had said hello.

Cai Qi bowed and didn't say anything more.

After three or five times like this, Yaodong felt that the encounter between them did not seem to be accidental, but he deliberately wanted to see her, or she also wanted to see him, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, he met five or six times in a month, not sooner or later, he went to Xishi, and she was there.

Yaodong left the palace today, and along the way, he thought that if he met again today, he would say what he was thinking, and when he was thinking, he heard the guard who grew up together shouting: "Shizi, look, Miss Cai Qi is picking apples over there." In a well-known melon and fruit shop, I saw that familiar figure again.

He made up his mind, jumped off the horse, and before he approached, Cai Qi had already looked back, saw that it was him, and said, "What about going home?" It's just three words, but it's like they've known each other for too long, and they don't need any side words.

Yaodong replied with a low "um", as if he was answering someone who was waiting for him to return, bit his lower lip, and said softly: "Last time Mu was on holiday, I told my mother that the official media would go to Caifu to propose marriage in the next few days." ”

Cai Qi's face was shy, "I...... I haven't figured it out yet. Just three days ago, Concubine Ling Jing of the Left Shoulder Mansion sent the official media to the Cai family to propose marriage, but she did not say that she should go down, nor did she refuse, but only said that she would talk back to the Left Shoulder Palace in a few days.

Yaodong continued: "My mother said that if it is really good for you, you will be the only one in this life, just like my father and mother: a couple for a lifetime. ”

Cai Qi's personal maid saw them talking, and consciously stepped aside.

She didn't think that the princess on her left shoulder would say such a sentence, and buried her head lower, but her heart was beating inexplicably harder at this moment, how many women didn't dare to say it, and how many men could do it, and asked in a low voice: "You...... Will it be done? ”

Yaodong said: "If you have me in your heart, I will do it for you." If you don't marry me, won't you let me marry someone else? ”

Cai Qi's face turned even redder, like a red glow pavement, with shyness, looking down at the ground.

The mother-in-law of the Cai family came over and said, "Seventh Miss, the fruits are all on the carriage." ”

Cai Qi replied in a low voice and said, "I have to go back." “

Yaodong looked at her back and said loudly: "The official media came to the door, don't refuse." ”

Her voice disappeared into the crowd, although it was not high, but he heard it carefully and clearly, "I answered." ”

When Yaodong returned home, Ling Wei would pass him to the Jingtang Flower Hall to speak. Early the next morning, Su Yan personally led the official media to Cai's house, and Cai's house warmly received him, and immediately exchanged Geng posts, combined the eight characters, and booked a family affair for Yaodong and Cai Qi.

Yaonan was very satisfied with Yaodong's marriage to Cai Qi, and he didn't realize it earlier, but later Yaonan also knew that Cai Qi was a disciple of Yaofang Dao Chief, and he treated Cai Qi differently.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the following year, Yaodong married Cai Qi.

Su Yan looked at the newcomer in front of her, and suddenly remembered that she also married Yu Wenyan like this back then, and in a blink of an eye, even her son became a wife and married her.

At the beginning of February, Su Yan led Cai Qi into the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Empress.

In Fengyi Palace, I had to meet the crown princess Yi Jingjing, who came to ask the queen for peace, Yi Jingjing looked at Cai Qi very curiously, this is a beautiful and refined woman, Miss Gu is beautiful, but Cai Qi is more elegant; Miss Song is charming, but Cai Qi is more delicate.

The queen said to Yi Jingjing: "You took the princess of Hui Shi to the imperial garden to relax, and I will talk to the princess on the left shoulder." ”

Yi Jingjing doesn't have many friends in the imperial city, she thought it was very good to marry the man she liked, and she knew that she was far away from what she thought, so she was first called to the palace by the queen mother to learn the rules for half a month, and the queen mother sent two more to teach her to go to the palace, which was not allowed to be done, that was not allowed to be touched, so that she was not upset, even if Zheng Han had reminded her earlier, but now it is too late to regret it, who made her like Yu Wenheng.

Cai Qi saw that Yi Jingjing had the heart to be friendly with him, so he didn't excuse himself too much, exchanged his heart for heart, and talked about his days in his mother-in-law's house. "My grandmother treated me very well and always asked for warmth. My mother-in-law is also very nice, and she talks poetry with me, and the brother-in-law at home respects me very much......"

Yi Jingjing said: "I'm also very good here, but there are too many rules in the palace, which makes me feel uncomfortable." ”

The two were talking, the crown prince Yu Wenheng, Yaodong, and the four princes Ke walked slowly, they were talking something, and the four princes Ke had the loudest voice, as if they were scolding someone.

The fourth prince Ke is the same as Yu Wenheng, their mothers gave birth to a son of them, and Concubine Duan has been quite close to the queen for many years, and their brothers are also quite close. (To be continued......)
