The night outside the window was very deep, and the faint or strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the air drifted along the courtyard wall into the distance, Qi Shan and Feng Ke rode their horses and turned over a wall to reach the Protector's Mansion.

The two dismounted, and when they turned around, they saw Qi Yan, the protector of the country, standing by the gate with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a smile.

Qi Shan stepped forward and asked, "It's late at night, what is my grandfather doing here?" ”

Qi Yan said, "Just now your Uncle Lin came, and I just saw him go when I heard the sound of horses on the side of the street, and I thought that you were back." ”

This Uncle Lin is Lin Ruowei's father, Lin Qihan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who served under Qi Yan when he was young, and became a confidant with Qi Shan's father, and the two families have always been good friends.

Qi Shan bowed his head slightly and said, "It's cold, let's go back to the house first." ”

The three of them entered the mansion together, Qi Yan looked at Qi Shan sideways, and asked meaningfully, "How is it, did you have a good time today?" ”

"Happy, happy!" Qi Shan bowed his head and said nothing, and when Feng Ke saw this, he hurriedly said, "The young general is happy!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yan and said in a loud voice, "Miss Lin, she is as beautiful as a fairy!" ”

"Really!" Qi Yan also said, "Oh, isn't this a perfect match for Shan'er?!" ”

"General Hui, it's a match made in heaven!"

The two sang and chatted happily, but they never saw Qi Shan reply, seeing that they were about to arrive at Qi Shan's residence, Qi Yan finally couldn't help but pat Qi Shan's shoulder and said, "Shan'er, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Seeing Qi Shan startled, he looked up at Qi Yan in a daze, and said confusedly, "What did grandfather say?" ”

"Uh...... Nothing. ”

"That's good," Qi Shan walked two steps quickly, stood in front of the door and saluted respectfully, "Grandson will go back to the room first." The night is cool, grandfather should settle it earlier. After speaking, he went back to the room by himself, obviously not knowing about Lin Ruowei.

Seeing him cover his heart like this, Qi Yan took two steps back, and sighed hatefully, "This, this, this...... Don't even care about marriage! ”

"General Mo Qi!" General Feng Ke will not only be a hero to save the United States, but also very good at respecting the old and loving the young, he hurriedly supported Qi Yan, and Mao then recommended himself, "Don't be angry, the young general is useless, isn't there me here, the general likes to be a matchmaker, just make it for me!" ”

"You?" Hearing this, Qi Yan immediately stood up straight, took a closer look at this kid who grew up with Qi Shan and was like a brother, and saw that although he was not as good as his own grandson Qi Shan, he was a dragon and phoenix among people, but he was also handsome, extraordinary, generous and straightforward, and now he looked at him with extremely flattering eyes, as if he was extremely obedient, and he was very satisfied in his heart, stretched out his hand to hook his neck, and walked crookedly, saying, "Okay! I'll be a matchmaker for you! Tell me what kind of woman you like! ”

"Hmm...... Tall! White! Don't be too skinny...... It's easy to talk about family background, oh! It would be better if there was Miss Lin as good-looking! ”

Early the next morning, Jing Ci had just had breakfast, and Mama Chen led Steward Liu to speak.

Steward Liu is nearly fifty years old, and he is the most broad-hearted and fat-bodied, he bent down slightly to approach Jing Ci, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the news that just came out in front of you, King Ping was impeached by several imperial historians early in the morning, saying that it was difficult for his godson to take on a big responsibility. ”

"And then?" Jing Ci rinsed his mouth and asked.

"The emperor didn't care about it originally, but then the official Jiang Shilang came out and said that Shi Jingcong was in the city last night and surrounded the princesses, and said that you were almost injured, and the emperor was fooled." He covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "If you don't care, you can't do it, Yang Yushi and the others heard that you were frightened, and they were angry and fierce, and they said that King Ping was embarrassed, so they asked for punishment at that time." ”

Jing Ci and Mama Chen also laughed when they heard this, and Mama Chen said, "It should be like this, looking at our Highness as if he has no backer, everyone dares to provoke him, and I don't want to think about which time I was pleased." ”

Steward Liu nodded and seconded, "That's right. This time, the emperor ordered that the godson of King Ping had no way to think about it in the palace, and he didn't even have to go to the autumn hunt, Shi Jingcong was rude and wild, and he was punished with 30 boards, and sent to Fu'an Temple to meditate and understand. ”

"Fu'an Temple? Is it the one that Uncle Seven Emperor treated? ”

"Exactly," Mama Chen bowed her head, beckoned the maid to come in and clean up the table, and said, "This Fu'an Temple is called a temple, but it is actually a small black house that the emperor's relatives have been locked up and thought about when they have committed a crime, just like the former Zongren Mansion." I heard that the monks and aunts inside are all martial arts, and even if anyone is disobedient, even if they do it, it is common for them to be injured and disabled. ”

"So scary?"

"When ......"

"Mama Chen, don't talk about it," Steward Liu said with a tiger face, "Be careful to scare Your Highness," after a pause, he said with a smile, "There will be an autumn hunt in a few days, will Your Highness go this year?" ”

"I'm going to go," Jing Ci got up and sat down in front of the bronze mirror, looked in the mirror and said, "I go every year, how can I be absent this year?" It's just that I don't know how to ride a horse, and this year I'm sitting in a tent again. ”

"How many more scripts will the slave prepare for His Highness this year?"

Mama Chen was really happy when she heard Jing Ci's words, and when she saw that Steward Liu was snuggling, she went out of the room together and whispered, "What are you doing?" ”

Steward Liu looked left and right, and also said softly, "There is news from the palace, saying that the queen mother intends to let Princess Hui be a matchmaker between Her Royal Highness and Jiang Shilang, who helped talk today, and I heard that Jiang Shilang first liked our Highness." ”

"This ......," Mama Chen frowned and said, "Last night, His Royal Highness also asked me about this Jiang Shilang, I didn't think about it, I thought it was just curiosity." ”

"Tsk, you," Steward Liu glanced at her and said, "Why don't you tell me about such a big thing!" ”

"Where did I think so much, besides, this highness not only asked Jiang Shilang, but also asked Qi Shan, the prince of the protector of the country!"

"Huh? This, this, this...... Ouch, no," Steward Liu helped his forehead, "I have to go back quickly and pass the book to the old man Feige, and talk about it well!" ”

Just after lunch, a carriage came to the palace to pick up Jingci, and Mama Chen reluctantly sent Jingci into the carriage, and carefully instructed her to remember to add clothes to eat before letting her leave.

As soon as Jing Ci returned to the palace, he saw that the princess's garden was full of gifts, and when he asked, he learned that the emperor and the queen sent comfort, there were Ping Wangfu and Xu Jiaji's family sent to make amends, and there were gifts from Huiwangfu Jinghan to share. Among them, a river lantern with a beautifully painted swimming fish is placed firmly on top of all the gifts, and you can see it at a glance.

Jing Ci picked up the river lantern, and before he could speak, the personal palace maid Fu Hui came up and said, "Your Highness, this is sent by Princess Hui's nephew and servant Jiang Yi Baijiang Gongzi," she saw that Jing Ci was stunned and only cared about being stunned, so she leaned closer and said next to Jing Ci's ear, "Jiang Gongzi said that he couldn't accompany His Royal Highness to put it into a river lantern last night, and I came to make up for it today." Hee-hee. ”

Jing Ci has a soft temperament, and because Fleur is Mama Chen's niece, she is used to laughing and playing on weekdays, she put down the river lamp, stretched out her hand to catch her, and tried to make a fierce look, laughing and scolding, "Good you bad Fleur!" See if I don't tear your mouth! ”

Fu Rui was not afraid of her, and whispered when she got closer, "The slave has heard that Jiang Shilang is young and talented, and he is very good!" ”

"You! Hmph—"
