Originally, he happily went out to bask in the sun, but now he returned to Fengyang Pavilion in anger, Hongye and Shui Yue saw that Cheng Xi was not smiling, so they could only continue to comfort on the side.

In fact, she was not angry with the three princes, but angry with herself.

"You say, what I did in the past was not excessive?" Cheng Xi looked at the red leaves and the water moon and asked angrily.

Yes? Momiji and Mizuki didn't figure out the situation, could it be that the princess was doing self-examination?

Shui Yue thought for a while and replied in a low voice, "The princess used to be a little too ......"

Momiji bumped Shuiyue's shoulder and said, "But recently, the princess's temper has improved, and her attitude has become a lot more friendly, and she has more princess demeanor than before, and everyone in the palace is full of praise for you." ”

"Really?"

Cheng Xi didn't believe in Hongye's words very much, at least the second princess and the third princess would definitely not praise her.

"Of course it's true, I've asked other palace people, and they all prefer you now, and Shui Yue also heard these words, isn't it?"

Hongye won Cheng Xi's true biography, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and Shui Yue, who was forced to answer the phone, hurriedly responded and said that there was indeed such a thing.

After listening to the words of the two of them, Cheng Xi's mood improved a little, but she has always been optimistic, anyway, the deceased is gone, and the future can be chased, she now has a lot of time and opportunities to realize her ideals and ambitions.

The most important thing in front of us is the martial arts conference.

Although she was worried, she always had to come, she dressed up early in the morning, and then went to the side courtyard to invite Ji Chengjin to accompany her, so as not to bump into the three princes on the road and cause trouble.

On the way to the royal school, Cheng Xi didn't expect to meet Concubine Liu De.

Concubine Liu De didn't expect that she would see Cheng Xi and Ji Chengjin walking side by side, and this combination made her wonderful, for no other reason, just because there have been rumors in the palace that Princess Mingruo bullied the proton of Xinyang Kingdom, and now looking at the appearance of the two, presumably their relationship is not as exaggerated as rumored.

Originally, Cheng Xi was giving Ji Chengjin pre-game psychological counseling, but now that she met Concubine Liu De, she couldn't disrespect her elders, so she let Ji Chengjin take the first step, and then happily took Concubine Liu's arm.

In this ever-changing palace, the person who has the closest relationship with her, in addition to the emperor and the queen mother, is Concubine Liu De, because she is the queen's half-sister and her own aunt.

"The third aunt is also going to the school field, right?" Cheng Xi looked left and right, "Why are you alone, fifth brother?" ”

"He's leaving early in the morning, saying that he wants to prepare first."

Concubine Liu De saw that Cheng Xi naturally raised her arm, and took the initiative to care about chatting, she was surprised in her heart, since Cheng Xi was getting older, she was a lot of strangers to her, a few days ago, His Majesty told her that Cheng Xi grew up sensible after falling into the water, and when she saw it today, it was really the same as what His Majesty said, and then she thought of her sister who died early, and her relief and feelings were intertwined, and she couldn't help but feel sour.

Seeing that Concubine Liu De's eyes were sparkling and there was a flickering water, Cheng Xi knew that it was her unintentional behavior that moved Concubine Liu De, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When the queen gave birth to her not long after she died, she died of depression, and Concubine Liu De recommended herself to the palace and tried her best to raise her, but later she listened to slander and thought that Concubine Liu De wanted to use her to seize the vacant queen's position, so she began to be angry and alienated.

Now Cheng Xi clearly understands that Emperor Xiaowu has become ill due to the death of the queen, and has no mental politics, and his third aunt is for the sake of the Yue Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, in order to help the sinking emperor to regain his strength, regardless of the retention of his childhood sweetheart, he tried his best to eliminate everyone's discussions, starting from Jieyu, until he gave birth to the fifth prince, he was named Concubine De, one of the three ladies.

In the past, she was so ungrateful compared to such a virtuous concubine!

Cheng Xi looked at Concubine Liu De and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Since the fifth brother doesn't accompany his aunt, let Xi'er accompany her aunt, since Xi'er grew up, she hasn't been able to chat with her aunt properly." ”

Concubine Liu De was originally worried that there was a gap between the two, but now seeing Cheng Xi's intimate appearance, she took her hand and laughed: "Xi'er wants to chat with her aunt, although she comes to find her aunt, she won't know how to move around because she hasn't been here for a long time, right?" ”

Facing Concubine Liu De's ridicule, Cheng Xi's face was hot, and she quickly shook her head in denial, she promised Concubine Liu De that she would definitely go when the martial arts conference was over.

The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the school ground, the first round of the martial arts conference had already begun, and Shen Rang just won and advanced to the second round.

Cheng Xi sat down next to Concubine Liu De, the observation deck outside the school field is high, and the location from the school field is also moderate, which is convenient for observing the competition under the field, and will not be injured by weapons accidents.

She searched for Ji Chengjin's figure with her eyes on the stage, there were many people on the school field, but she didn't find it for a while, she couldn't help but straighten up again, stretched her neck, and searched carefully.

"Are you looking for Shen Rang? He's there. Concubine Liu De pointed with her finger, covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled: "If we had come earlier, we would have seen Shen Rang's heroic appearance of winning the game." ”

Following the direction of Concubine Liu Defei's finger, Cheng Xi saw that Shen Rang was talking and laughing with ease, and she was not interested in Shen Rang and the good-looking people around him, so she didn't answer.

After looking for a while, she saw Ji Chengjin in a place far away from the crowd, arrogant and indifferent, like a lone wolf abandoned by the tribe, although he would no longer howl, he still stood alone, unwilling to compromise and surrender.

As if feeling her gaze, Ji Chengjin glanced lightly at the observation deck, Cheng Xi was pulling the corners of his mouth, ready to give him a reassuring smile, and Ji Chengjin quickly staggered his gaze.

"Sister Mingruo, if you sit so far away, you will miss a lot of good shows!"

A voice interjected, and Cheng Xi looked at it, and the four princes were yelling at her from the sidelines, and she only felt a pain in her brain.

Frowning and pursing his lips, Cheng Xi said disgustedly: "The sword has no eyes, it's better for me to stay away, I hope you still remember what I said yesterday!" ”

I don't know if the fourth prince heard the second half of the sentence, Cheng Xi saw that he had already walked towards the third prince, and then the third prince looked at her, showing a confident and smug smile.

Cheng Xi secretly said that it was not good, and as soon as he stood up, he heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the third prince and Ji Chengjin walked to the field one after the other and began to make moves.

The third prince Cheng Shi is the son of Jiang Guifei and the younger brother of the eldest prince Cheng Yuan.

But Cheng Xi has a noble status in the palace, firstly, she disdains the small group to be in the same stream, and secondly, what is the ability of the third prince, she knows very well, although the martial arts moves that she has practiced with Ji Chengjin in advance, although there is a suspicion of cheating, but the third prince can play tricks, and she cannot be left behind.

Cheng Xi looked at the field, Ji Chengjin was thinner than the third prince, the moves used were delicate and ingenious, flowing and flowing, and the elegant did not seem to be in a competition, she sighed twice, she didn't pay attention to it when she practiced a few days ago, but now she is watching it on the wall, the clothes are flying, the elegant and cold handsome son, only pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Xiaowu looked at the situation in the field and praised Concubine Jiang: "She'er's martial arts have improved. ”

Concubine Jiang nodded slightly and said, "She'er knows Your Majesty's good intentions, and she has been working harder and harder these days. ”

Cheng Xi heard it at once, Jiang Guifei said this to the other concubines present, and it seemed that the emperor valued her sons more, but Emperor Xiaowu didn't care, but let Jiang Guifei sing a one-man show.

The martial arts of the three princes and Ji Chengjin are not the same way, Ji Chengjin's moves are very ornamental, each move avoids its edge, and the three princes are extremely aggressive and fierce, but Ji Chengjin can be resolved one by one at a critical moment.

The two of them attacked and defended, and they fought a little stalemate, and after comparing dozens of moves, they still didn't know the winner, and Emperor Xiaowu said: "I didn't expect that the prince of Xinyang Kingdom and She'er would fight back and forth, and when he saw the moves, he was at ease." ”

Jiang Guifei's face collapsed instantly.

Listening to the emperor praising Ji Chengjin, Cheng Xi couldn't help but be proud, and tried her best to guide every day, this was all her credit, and she smiled and answered: "Father is really vicious, Ji Gongzi shows a very high talent, I believe that in time he will make a great difference." ”

The implication of her words is that Ji Chengjin can become a strong contender for the monarch of Xinyang Kingdom, and it is right to ask the emperor to bet on the treasure, PICK him, and keep him alive!

When Emperor Xiaowu heard this, he touched his beard and looked at Cheng Xi, his eyes flashing: "I didn't expect Xi'er to also have an eye for seeing people, and she is really getting more and more promising." ”

Cheng Xi was about to accept the emperor's praise without modesty, when she heard the red leaves standing behind her, and let out a very low exclamation: "Princess, Ji Gongzi ...... him"

Cheng Xi hurriedly looked towards the center of the school field, Ji Chengjin had been kicked to the edge of the competition venue by the third prince, his left hand was covered under his ribs, his face was forbearing, obviously injured, he just stood up straight, took a few steps forward, and the silver light of the third prince's left hand flashed, and ran towards him.

Ji Chengjin raised the tenacious sword in his hand to resist, Cheng Xi hurriedly stood up, flew down from the viewing platform, and at the same time pulled out the soft whip hidden in his waist, and wrapped his left wrist before the third prince committed another murder.

"Third brother, you've already won." Cheng Xi saw that the dagger was stained with blood, and his voice was low, "Don't you think it's too much to use this kind of harmful trick?" ”

When the third prince saw her fly into the arena, his gloomy eyes flashed, and he looked at Ji Chengjin again, revealing an interesting expression.

He put away his sword and walked down the martial arts arena, and when he passed by Cheng Xi, he deliberately used a voice that the three people could hear, and said to her with bad intentions: "I feel sorry for that kid?" Guess he'll take your affection? ”
