Early in the morning of the second day, when Jing Ci was still freshening up, the palace maids in the queen's palace came carrying two heavy boxes, and the leader saluted, "Your Highness, my uncle said that I entered the palace in a hurry yesterday, and I saw you and the county lord were rude to each other, so early this morning, I ordered the prince to choose a gift and send it to the palace, which should be a meeting gift for you," After that, she opened the lid of the box and looked at Jing Ci, and said, "Outside the palace, King Hui, King Ping, and several elders and princesses are also available." ”

Jing Ci knew it in his heart when he heard this, so he reached out and touched the brocade in the box, and said, "Fuguang brocade is a special product of Shudi, and it only produces ten horses a year, which has always been exclusively for the royal family, it seems that my uncle and grandfather have made a lot of money this time," she smiled and said, "Has the prince gone back?" ”

"No," the maid smiled when she saw Jing Ci, so she also laughed, "The mother left the prince for breakfast, and only called the slave maid to come after calculating the time, and said that she invited His Royal Highness to come over and have dinner together." ”

Jingci pondered for a while, then said "good", and personally chose a big red yeast water woven gold and cigarette brocade skirt to change, and then hurried to the queen, only to see that the table full of meals had been served, but there was only Qi Shan at the table.

Jing Ci was about to speak, and the palace maid who was in charge of the meal saluted and said, "The emperor sent someone to invite Niangniang to go to the imperial study to speak, and let His Royal Highness and the prince have dinner together." ”

Qi Shan also stood up and saluted, "The minister greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Jing Ci replied, "The general is polite." ”

Qi Shan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say much, but after Jing Ci sat down, he also sat down, and the two were speechless for a while.

After the meal, Jing Ci cleaned his hands, respectfully bowed to Qi Shan, and said, "Annoying the general's words, I like the gift given by the general, thank you general." ”

Qi Shan hurriedly returned the salute again, and after seeing Jing quit back, he looked back at the table, left another word, and went out of the palace.

After lunch, Jing Ci came to ask for peace again, and finally saw the queen, but listened to her, "Your Majesty announced that today's visit to the palace is actually for the Mid-Autumn Festival." After this Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be autumn hunting, and then it will be the New Year and the Lantern Festival, all piled up together, so that the palace is too busy, and then this year, although the barbarians have won, but also use a lot of silver money military salary. What your imperial grandfather meant, it is better to do it briefly in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as to leave time and energy for autumn hunting and New Year's festivals. ”

"That's fine," Jing Ci listened carefully, squinted and smiled, "Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, hundreds of officials are allowed to enter the palace, but they can't be reunited as a family." This year, let's be simpler, everyone will go back after receiving the reward, and then ask Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to come to the palace, and our family will be reunited? ”

"That's right," the queen nodded, touched her face softly, and said narrowly, "but who wants you to stay in the palace?" Wouldn't it be nice to call Rong Yue and the girl of the Lin family, and a few cousins and cousins, to have a fun together? ”

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the sky was about to twilight, someone really came to pick it up, and Jing Ci walked out of the door to see that it was Qi Shan.

Because the queen ordered to travel simply, Jing Ci did not sit on the princess frame on weekdays, but there were a room of men in the Qi family, and even the frame was very high, and Jing Ci tried hard to step on his feet but still couldn't get up. Just in embarrassment, one arm quietly stretched out, Jing Ci looked up at Qi Shan, who was looking away with an expressionless face, and bit his lip to support his arm and get into the car.

The two of them had nothing to say along the way, Jing Ci sat in the car and wanted to say thank you, but after all, there were still no words, when the carriage drove to King Hui's mansion, a smaller carriage with the Lin family brand came over steadily, and the two cars stopped together in King Hui's mansion, Qi Shan got off the horse and helped Jing Ci get out of the car, and a young girl also walked down in the carriage on the other side.

The woman was dressed in a light blue shirt, a plain palace flower on her sideburns, her complexion was snow-white and her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was delicate and her smile was touching, and she was tall and tall like a weak willow Fufeng, it was Lin Ruowei, the first beauty in Kyoto.

Lin Ruowei saw Jing Ci at a glance, and before she got close, she heard Jing Han's voice from the house, she walked out of the door, and pretended to salute Jing Ci, "Meet Princess Rong'an!" Princess Rong'an makes people wait. He turned his head again and said to Lin Ruowei, "Meet the second miss of the Lin family, the second miss also calls the lord of this county to wait." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and then saluted Jing Han together, "The little girl asks for peace to His Royal Highness the County Lord, His Royal Highness the County Lord has a lot, forgive one or two?" ”

After that, the three girls laughed together, grinning and holding hands, and saw that Princess Hui also walked out of the mansion, followed by two teenagers on the left and right behind her, and scolded with a smile, "Rong Yue must not mess around!" He pointed to the two teenagers beside him and Qi Shan said to the three, "How about letting these three young men serve as your guards today?" There are a lot of people in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but don't be separated, today is lively, and you don't have to rush back. ”

Everyone agreed, the three girls got into the carriage of the Qi family, and the three teenagers all rode horses to follow, and a few people said goodbye to Princess Hui and were about to set off, when they saw a horse leisurely coming out of the side door, and a handsome young man in white was sitting right away.

Jing Han lifted the curtain and shouted, "Second brother, where are you going!" ”

The young man smelled the voice and looked over, as if he didn't know that the group was here, and said, "Mother wants to eat the pastries of Jumbo Zhai, I'll go buy some and come back." ”

"Jumbo Zhai?" Jing Han thought about it for a while, and said, "We just want to go over there, all the way." ”

When the white-clothed boy heard this, he said, "It's okay." ”

Jing Han lowered the curtain again, and when he turned around, he saw the two little sisters covering their mouths with handkerchiefs and snickering at her, so he blushed and said, "What are you laughing at!" ”

"Some people's little lovers are sipping vinegar," Lin Ruowei said, while lifting the curtain and pointing to Rong Xuan, who was looking serious outside the carriage, and said with a smile, "Look, he's not happy yet!" After speaking, he laughed and rolled into Jing Ci's arms.

It turned out that among the four young people riding horses outside the car, the slightly shorter one was the fiancé who had been married to Jinghan since he was a child - Rong Xuan, the son of Linyang Houshi, known as "Bai Xiaosheng in Beijing", the four of them were quite old and grew up together since childhood and had a close relationship. Among the two people of the same size, the one in white is the second brother of Jinghan, the concubine of King Hui's mansion Shi Jingting, and the person in gray is surnamed Jiang Mingyibai, who is the son of Princess Hui's brother, he is thin and pale, because he has never gone out to see guests since he was a child, until these years he slowly improved, and after participating in the scientific examination, he entered the ministry of officials, but he is not familiar with everyone.

The two laughed for a while, then gradually stopped, Lin Ruowei sat up and said, "Your second brother is a pure filial person, every time we go out to play, we can meet him most of the time, either to buy snacks for the concubine or to find calligraphy and paintings for the concubine." ”

"That's natural," Jing Han said, "Aunt Fang Fei was born in the Southwest Gu family, and the Zhenbao Zhai family in Kyoto that suited her taste, she couldn't leave the house, so she could only ask the second brother to buy it back for her." ”

"Concubine Gu is obedient and gentle, and the fourth cousin is filial and humble," Jing Ci straightened his clothes, raised his head and quipped, "The fourth imperial aunt has even raised her concubine so well, why are you a sharp-toothed and bold master?" ”

The three of them are like sisters, and they often joke like this, but Jing Han is not annoyed, only blushing and saying, "Okay!" You all say this about me, I'll go out and ride a horse with Brother Rong Xuan! After that, he lifted the curtain and wanted to go out, Lin Ruowei hurriedly leaned up and hugged her to the side of Jing Ci, and the three of them rolled into a ball again, fortunately, the carriage of the Qi family was wide and firm, but it was also swaying, Rong Xuan rode forward and knocked on the wall of the car, and said in a low voice, "Sister Han, pay attention to safety——"

The carriage was immediately quiet, and from time to time there were a few irrepressible sneering, and after a long time, Jing Han said quietly, "Got it." ”
