Chapter 120

He appeared in front of her without warning.

Jixu, the king of Yujiang, is the nephew of the current saint, and the saint favors him far more than his own son, and gives him many privileges that even the prince does not have.

King Yujiang was crowned prince after inheriting the throne at the age of ten, and he was still the king of the iron hat, and he was hereditary. This kind of glory is generally only obtained by the prince who owes it to the society.

Moreover, the saint also made a fief for King Yujiang, which was a very rich territory in Qilu since ancient times, which shows that this honor is probably rare in ancient times.

The saint can be described as "preference" for King Yujiang, and even the crown prince is in awe of his cousin.

Being able to get acquainted with King Yujiang by accident will be of great help to her in changing the pattern of the court in the future, and he will definitely be her biggest ally.

She lowered her eyes, hiding a flash of excitement and joy.

Ji Xu stepped in, his expression was calm, indifferent and detached, he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Gu Qingwan's body, his eyes paused slightly, and there was a strange emotion in it.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? The eldest lady noticed her strange appearance and hurriedly shouted a few times, Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, and when she raised her head, she had already well concealed her happy and excited expression, and said calmly:

"Mother, it's okay, the wine glass accidentally fell off."

"Wan'er, can't you sit still?" Old Madam Gu also came over and asked, after all, at the usual banquet, Gu Qingwan was like a nail on a chair, she would run away after sitting for less than half an hour, and then come back in trouble, making her anxious.

"No, grandmother." Gu Qingwan hurriedly said, "Fang just slipped his hand and broke the cup, grandmother, don't worry, Wan'er doesn't want to go anywhere with you and your mother." She gave Old Madam Gu a reassuring expression.

There was already a maid here who walked over quickly to pick up the broken jade cup, and replaced her with a new one, and when she looked at Ji Xu again, she had calmed down the fluctuations when she first met-

The person who can have a good relationship with Ji Han is definitely not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect him to be the high-powered but extremely bad reputation King Yujiang before.

The rumored King Yujiang is arrogant, violent and vicious, with no one in his eyes, relying on the favor of the saint and not taking anyone in his eyes. And the person Gu Qingwan knows is that he is cold-faced and hot-hearted, helpful to the weak, has superb medical skills, and is proficient in foreign languages, such a person and the rumored King Yujiang are simply two people. So initially, Gu Qingwan didn't think of him and King Yujiang together.

And Ji Xu's eyes fell on her, I haven't seen her for a long time, this little girl seems to have grown up a little, she sits there quietly, gentle, cold, like a plum in winter, noble and proud, inviolable.

When we met again half a year later, it was so wonderful, and a slight smile floated on the corner of his lips-

When they met again, she was the eldest lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and she was the lord of Zhaoyang County. And he is no longer a small doctor in the hospital, he is a high-powered, unpopular King Yujiang.

Gu Qingwan took a sip of tea and stabilized her mood, then looked at Ji Xu, and he had already retracted his gaze and walked to the men's seat in the north to sit down, he chose to sit next to Ji Han.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come?" Ji Han was a little surprised, his cousin told him a while ago that he wouldn't come, why did he come early this morning?

Ji Xu glanced at him lightly and said, "If you want to come, you will come." ”

"How's your injury?"

"No one can die."

This answer was simple and straightforward, and he didn't even bother to say perfunctory words, Ji Han had long been accustomed to it, so he stopped talking to him, and admired the beautiful peony flowers that bloomed by himself, and his eyes occasionally shifted to Gu Qingwan and he couldn't take it away, and even he couldn't notice how gentle his gaze was when he looked at her.

All this fell in the eyes of Ji Xu, who was silent next to him, and he saw that his eyes flickered slightly and then returned to the original pool of stagnant water.

The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. I only hope that Ah Han will not regret it when the time comes!

"Fifth brother, you're here." Ji Sheng took the initiative to greet him, Ji Xu just nodded and looked away from him, Ji Sheng didn't feel embarrassed, just smiled.

Ji Xu's age is the fifth among the cousins of the Ji family, so Ji Sheng wants to call him the fifth brother.

At this moment, almost all eyes fell on Ji Xu, no one thought that Ji Xu would come to such a grand event today, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with Ji Xu being cold to the prince.

After all, the reputation of His Royal Highness King Yujiang is there, and everyone in the capital knows that he has no one in his eyes, not even the prince, if he is respectful to the prince, it would be strange, this prince rarely shows up, unless he attends on very important occasions.

After all, today is a banquet held by the eldest princess, and no matter how arrogant he is, he should give the eldest princess some face.

Some people whispered, "Why is His Royal Highness King Yujiang here?" Hasn't he always disliked attending such banquets? ”

"Alas, no matter what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess says, she is also his own aunt, no matter how much he has no one in his eyes, he should give the eldest princess a few thin noodles!"

"I hope this highness won't cause anything more......"

Ji Xu naturally heard these whispered discussions, his eyes condensed slightly, overflowing with imperceptible gloom, the nameless hand holding the sword tightened, his eyes froze, and his gaze as sharp as a cold knife fell on the person's body, which frightened the person and immediately shut up and lowered his head.

And even Ji Sheng and Ji Cheng were a little surprised by Ji Xu's appearance-

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to come." It was Ji Cheng, who seemed a little bit Chicheng, and said, a few days ago he heard that Ji Xu was injured and went to visit the mansion, and he thought that he would recuperate in the mansion.

"The banquet of the imperial aunt is naturally coming, the peony blooms so well, it can't live up to this beautiful scenery, third brother, do you say it?" Ji Xu's voice was as clear as promised, but the smile on the corner of his lips made people unable to see the depth.

Ji Cheng didn't notice anything wrong, just nodded and responded, "The scenery is really good." ”

And Ji Sheng was even more surprised in the face of Ji Xu's sudden appearance, he secretly sent Xizuo to monitor Ji Xu, according to Xizuo's return, King Yujiang stayed in the mansion day by day, becoming more and more depressed...... Moreover, he was also wounded by a sword, and his injuries were serious, but now everything is safe and sound......

Could it be that he has betrayed himself? No, he has always been cautious in employing people, and if he does a treachery, he will not be able to detect it.

Ji Xu turned his head and looked at Ji Sheng with a deep smile on his face, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

"Yes, I heard that the fifth brother was still injured, I wonder if he is better?" Ji Sheng asked silently.

"This king has even experienced life and death, this slight injury is not enough to worry about, thank you for the concern of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ji Xu's performance was inconspicuous, and his words seemed to have a deep meaning, but when he investigated it carefully, there was nothing, which made Ji Sheng, who had always been very deep in the city, unable to figure out his mind for a while.

Gu Qingwan sat opposite, watching these two people talk happily like brothers with deep feelings, and thought in her heart that at this time, it was the time for Ji Sheng to calculate Ji Xu, no matter what today, I had to give Ji Xu some hints, and he must not be deceived by Ji Sheng.

Ji Xu must live, and she will need him to change the situation in the future.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived......" When everyone was talking casually, the eldest princess finally appeared, and there was a small commotion in the hall-

Except for the crown prince and a few princes, all the people knelt on the ground and shouted-

"Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose."

Gu Qingwan knelt on the ground and looked at the eldest princess through the afterglow of her vision-

I saw the eldest princess walking over surrounded by many maidservants and eunuchs, like the stars and the moonβ€”

She has a phoenix crown and a xia veil, combing a cross bun, pinning the five phoenixes of the rising sun on the bun, and shaking the hairpin in gold and jade steps, graceful and luxurious, and majestic.

The concubine Zhang Song walked beside her, no wonder the princess personally asked the emperor for marriage in order to marry him, it is really that he has the appearance of Pan An, Ji Kang's state, and it is reasonable for the princess to fall in love at first sight.

And behind their husband and wife, there are also the three children of the princess and the concubine, the two sons are talented and dignified, and the county lord is as beautiful as a flower, noble and elegant.

The eldest princess is well maintained, and she is clearly in her early forties, but she is still like a young woman in her early twenties, with skin like clotted fat and a face like peach blossoms.

Gu Qingyue stroked the parrot next to the chair with her hand, and a smile appeared on her face, she had already inquired, this eldest princess has recently fallen in love with all kinds of rare birds, and a few days ago she got a talking macaw, she liked it very much, she has never liked to smile, but because the parrot showed a smile, because the raised slave was careless, the parrot ate the wrong food and died, and the princess also executed ten minions for this.

Therefore, she asked Lu to find her such a macaw that could speak auspicious words, and planned to present it to the princess at the right time, and when the princess was happy, she would like her.

With such a noble status as the eldest princess, if she likes her a little, it will be more than a hundred words from others, and she will definitely be able to show off at the banquet at that time, so that the princes and nobles will notice her, especially-

His Royal Highness, Ji Han!

Since the last separation, Gu Qingyue hadn't seen Ji Han for a long time, she had taken the initiative to pretend to meet him by chance and had too much contact with him, although he never rejected her, he never took the initiative.

She doesn't look for him, and he won't come to her on his own initiative. This made Gu Qingyue, who originally swore that Ji Han would like her, feel frustrated, compared to Gu Qingwan, she was more beautiful, more talented, and more pitiful and pitiful, she didn't believe that she would lose to Gu Qingwan.

Ji Han, she is bound to win!

After the eldest princess sat down on the first seat, she raised her hand and said to everyone, "Sit down, the wind is beautiful today, the peony flowers are blooming just right, you don't have to be rigid, just have fun and enjoy the flowers." ”

As she spoke, she nodded to the female officer behind her, the female officer clapped her hands, and after a while, melodious music sounded, and many slender palace ladies slowly appeared in the peony garden, dancing.
