Ji Chengjin leaned against the window, his dark eyes were bottomless, and the streamer stood behind him, worrying: "Childe, your injury hasn't healed yet, it's best to stay in bed." ”

After persuading for a long time, Ji Chengjin was indifferent, and the streamer followed his line of sight and looked out the window curiously, only Cheng Xi and Imperial Doctor Zhang were talking in the courtyard.

Imperial Physician Zhang came to see him a few more times, and when he learned that Ji Chengjin's injury was slowly recovering, Cheng Xi let go of his worried heart.

The martial arts conference has entered a white-hot stage, and tomorrow is the final, and this year's martial leader will be produced between Shen Rang and the five princes.

Emperor Xiaowu and Concubine Liu De sent someone again, Cheng Xi was still thinking about it, Shui Yue said on the side: "Princess, you have been staying in the courtyard for the past few days, don't you feel bored and panicked?" If this had been before, you would have gone to the school to watch the martial arts competition. ”

Cheng Xi glanced at Shui Yue, saw her scratching her head, and knew that she wanted to go out to see the excitement, although Cheng Xi did not ban their feet, but such a major event as the martial arts conference still couldn't just go.

Hongye felt that what Shui Yue said made sense, and also said on the side: "Princess, even if you don't want to see Shen Xiaohouye, you should cheer for His Royal Highness." ”

The reason why Cheng Xi didn't want to go to the martial arts conference was that she really wanted to avoid meeting with Shen Rang, since she couldn't afford to provoke her, couldn't she still hide?

But after thinking about it, you can't lose a big one because of a small one, the fifth prince is Emperor Xiaowu's favorite candidate for the crown prince, and he has a close relationship with himself, and his future peace and stability may be counting on him.

So Cheng Xi no longer shirked, and should be there to cheer.

After sending off the maid who passed the message, Shui Yue walked in and said to Cheng Xi: "Princess, count it up, the ten-day grounding period of the Third Highness will be full tomorrow, will you also go to the martial arts conference at that time?" ”

I didn't expect ten days to pass so quickly, Cheng Xi didn't care and said: "Just go, are you still afraid that he will not be good for me, besides, if he really goes to the martial arts conference, it will be just as I want." ”

She has thought about it, the third prince stabbed Ji Chengjin, and she has to compensate for it.

On the second day, Cheng Xi came to the royal school field early with red leaves and water moon, and waited for a while to see Emperor Xiaowu and Concubine Liu De coming hand in hand.

"You girl, the shelf is getting bigger and bigger, do you have to send someone to invite you several times before you are willing to show your face?" Emperor Xiaowu nodded Cheng Xi's forehead and pretended to be angry and said.

"I've been very busy lately." Cheng Xi grabbed the corner of Emperor Xiaowu's yellow robe, and said coquettishly while shaking, "Father misses me?" Aren't I here today, let's cheer for Brother Hong together! ”

Saying that, she took the hands of Emperor Xiaowu and Concubine Liu De and sat on the seat, Emperor Xiaowu glanced at Concubine Liu De with a smile, and then looked at Cheng Xi dotingly, but did not speak.

Concubine Liu De took Cheng Xi's hand with her backhand, and asked with a chuckle: "Xi'er only cheers for Hong'er today, and doesn't give you a cheer for your future horses?" ”

Cheng Xi heard Concubine Liu De mention Shen Rang, pursed her lips with disgust, and said seriously: "Auntie, Brother Hong is my mother's family, even if I go toe-for-tat with my concubine, I must be on Brother Hong's side, besides, I haven't married Shen Xiaohou yet, and he doesn't worry about no one to cheer him on." ”

Concubine Liu De looked in the direction of Cheng Xinu's mouth, and saw that under the steps on their right, there were some children of official eunuchs, one of whom she had seen, it was the second lady of Prime Minister Jiang's family, Jiang Jingxian, about the rumors about Shen Rang and Jiang Jingxian, even if she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, she knew it clearly.

"Married to a husband, Shen Xiaohou is so good, and there are naturally not a few warblers and Yanyan who admire him." Concubine Liu De retracted her gaze and taught, "Xi'er, as long as you remember that you are the wife of your majesty's decree to marry Shen Rang, and you are the wife of their Shen family, you will not be afraid of the threats of other women. ”

In the era of monogamy and multiple concubines, Concubine Liu De was right, but Cheng Xi disagreed with this point of view very much in her bones, men and women are equal, and feelings must have a beginning and an end, how can they be shared with so many people, if there is no affection but forcibly together, this is Chi Guoguo's deception, knowing that women have too many bodies that can't help themselves, but she still wants to show her thoughts.

"Third aunt, you're right." Cheng Xijiao said, "But I still want to be the only one, and I hope that my colt will only have me alone in his heart." ”

"It's worthy of my Princess Mingruo, I have ideas." Emperor Xiaowu heard the conversation between the two of them on the side, and after approving, he said, "Xi'er is right, since this is the case, I will give the second lady of the Jiang family a marriage, okay?" ”

"It's not good, it's bad, it's very bad."

Cheng Xi didn't expect Emperor Xiaowu to join her and Concubine Liu De's gossip topic, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, if the emperor broke up Shen Rang and Jiang Jingxian, wouldn't it make the pair of lovers even more unforgettable, and when the time came, Shen Rang's anger would have nowhere to vent, and she would come to her for trouble twice in three days, who could stand it?

So she waved her hand desperately and said: "Father, don't do this, you are a generation of Ming monarchs, you can't let the people of the court and China talk behind your back because of your daughter's affairs, so that future generations will misunderstand and say bad things about our Dayue." ”

Emperor Xiaowu laughed, in a good mood: "Xi'er can think so far, it's really getting more and more amazing, I can rest assured." ”

As he was talking, the time for the military attache to report the auspiciousness had arrived, and Emperor Xiaowu ordered the final of the martial arts conference to begin, Cheng Xi looked towards the school field, and Shen Rang and the fifth prince Cheng Hong had already entered together and competed.

Cheng Hong is in the year of dancing spoons, two years younger than Cheng Xi and four years younger than Shen Rang, Cheng Xi often hears teachers praise him for being smart and studious, but he is usually restrained by Concubine Liu De's side, and rarely walks around with other princes, so no one knows his true strength.

He is smaller than Shen Rang, and his body is also light, in the face of Shen Rang's active offensive, Cheng Hong can always dodge as dexterously as a swallow, and can launch an attack unexpectedly, although some moves are a little jerky, but I believe that over time, he will be able to make a splash.

Both of them are handsome boys, and their martial arts moves are also clean and neat, and the fight in the field is really pleasing to the eye, Cheng Xi watched it with relish, and almost applauded, no wonder there are so many young girls watching the battle, just this, don't you be fascinated by a large group of girls and ladies who are raised in the boudoir and have never seen the world?

In the end, Shen Rang seized the flaw in Cheng Hong's moves, won the game, and became the leader of the martial arts conference, for a while the applause on the scene was thunderous, Cheng Xi glanced at Jiang Jingxian, she was standing on the observation deck, looking at Shen Rang with a smile, and Shen Rang seemed to receive that gaze, and looked at her for a moment, until Emperor Xiaowu personally gave the jade belt to take it back.

Invisible dog abuse is the most deadly, and Cheng Xi feels that his blood bar has decreased again.

Emperor Xiaowu announced that a banquet would be held in Yinghui Building after the martial arts conference, originally she was not good at participating in this kind of occasion, but was warned by Emperor Xiaowu not to sneak away, Cheng Xi could only follow the courtiers, and reluctantly moved to Yinghui Tower.

When the courtiers dispersed one after another, she found the three princes in front of her, who had not seen her for ten days, and followed the four princes and the four princesses as always, looking at the direction they were traveling, they were also going to Yinghui Tower for a banquet.

Cheng Xi pretended not to see it and wanted to bypass them, but the gloomy voice of the third prince sounded: "Sister Mingruo hasn't seen her for a long time, how can she leave when she sees us, did you do something wrong?" ”

When the third prince saw Cheng Xi, he felt a depressed evil anger in his heart, and he urgently needed to find an outlet to vent.

Cheng Xi also showed a business smile and greeted: "Third brother, fourth brother, fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, count the days, it's exactly ten days, you also have to go to Yinghui Building for a banquet, it's better to be together, by the way, I don't know where Wu Kuishou belongs, is the third brother still satisfied?" ”

This series of words, every word poked the heart of the third prince, but she still had a natural expression, there was no ridicule at all, as if she was chatting seriously, which made the third prince want to go crazy, why didn't he find out before that Cheng Xi was so sharp-toothed.

"The way I look is not because of you, but now what are you talking about here!" The third prince said angrily.

Cheng Xi looked at the third prince left and right, and said strangely: "The third brother doesn't look good, it's white and tender." ”

Seeing that Cheng Xi was pretending to be stupid, his teeth were creaking, and he couldn't wait to eat her, the fourth prince and the fourth princess stood behind him, and only quietly pulled the sleeve of the third prince without saying a word.

The third prince brushed away the two of them and hated them: "Look at your current cowardice, is it because you are afraid of her?" ”

Cheng Xi looked at the fourth prince and the fourth princess who were standing a little farther away, silent, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Why does the third brother want to make the fourth brother and the fourth sister angry, I can't stand it." ”

"What if you can't stand it?" The third prince tilted his head and said disdainfully.

With that nostrils facing the sky, Cheng Xi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but soon his mind changed and he suddenly had a plan.

"I know that the third brother is angry with me because of the martial arts conference, indeed, the third brother hurts people, I didn't intercede for you, but the third brother, you shouldn't be angry with the fourth brother and the fourth sister, we are brothers and sisters, we should love and help each other."

Cheng Xi didn't give the third prince a chance to speak, his voice was steady, and his sentences were smooth: "The third brother should not be angry with the fourth brother and the fourth sister, there is a debtor and a master, the third brother is angry with me, I am willing to bear the anger of the third brother, we will solve it in the way of a martial arts conference, so that the third brother can be comfortable, right?" ”

When the third prince heard Cheng Xi say that he wanted to compete, he was a little hesitant, but when he saw that she was about to leave, he immediately responded.

"It's better than that, don't cry when the time comes, go to your father to complain!"

"It's a deal!"

After speaking, Cheng Xi took out the soft whip on his waist and beckoned directly to the third prince, and the third prince also used the same soft whip to fight with her.

The two of them are from the same school and are very familiar with each other's tricks, but in the past ten days, Cheng Xi got up every morning to practice martial arts and reviewed the number of moves that Ji Chengjin had taken against her.

The third prince didn't expect Cheng Xi to hide his moves, and he was whipped by Cheng Xi if he was unprepared, and suddenly his back hurt hotly, he refused to accept and fought again, and finally left whip marks on his chest, back, arms, and legs, and screamed in pain.

"Stop!"

Cheng Xi was about to whip a few more whips to take revenge, but a deep voice stopped her, and when she turned her head, the eldest prince and Shen Rang walked towards them.
