The spring is bright and bright, suitable for playing friends, Ji Chengjin is feeding the fish in the corner of the lake in the imperial garden, and he saw the three princes and princesses walking into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Since that banquet, I haven't seen the third brother go out, and I don't know how he is."

Originally, the third princess and the fourth princess avoided talking about it, but the four princes didn't open any pot.

They all heard that after the banquet, King Qing first reprimanded the third prince for his life, and then asked him to stay in the room to copy books, and finally it was Jiang Guifei who persuaded him, and King Qing let him go, but I don't know if he is still grounded.

When the third princess heard the fourth prince say this, she covered her mouth with a fan and laughed gloatingly: "I told you before, Sister Mingruo is very powerful now, you still don't believe it, now that you have seen it, how do you feel?" ”

The fourth princess and the four princes glanced at each other, and said with palpitations: "Sister Mingruo's personality has changed greatly now, and we should not cause trouble." ”

These three people have all suffered losses from Cheng Xi, and they already know each other tacitly, and they don't dare to provoke her easily.

"I don't think there's something right with that." The third princess sat down and said with a serious expression, "In the past, although Sister Mingruo was not easy to mess with, she had rules to follow and was easy to understand, but now she is deep-minded, moody, and has no flaws. ”

The four princes and the four princesses naturally have the same deep understanding as the third princess, and they also have the same doubts in their minds.

"After Sister Mingruo fell into the water, everything changed." The fourth princess pondered and said, "And she has no sequelae of falling into the water, she is not afraid of water at all, she seems to like it very much, and last time we saw her standing by the lake and looking into the water." ”

The three were silent for a moment.

The fourth prince still spoke ominously: "I heard that there is a spirit in the water that can possess the body of the person who falls into the water, and now Mingruo's sister is so terrible, like a little devil, could it be that she ......"

Before the fourth prince finished speaking, he was interrupted by the fourth princess: "Brother Du, the three of us can just listen to this, you must not say it outside." ”

"It's nature."

The four princes kept silent, and the three of them talked about other things, until they left, Ji Chengjin finished feeding the fish food in his hand and returned to Fengyang Pavilion.

Cheng Xi came out of Ji Chengjin's side courtyard and saw that the bouquet of peach blossoms on the table was in a good mood, so he took the kettle in Hongye's hand and began to water the flowers and plants in the yard.

When it was almost watered, Ji Chengjin walked in from outside.

"Ji Gongzi, where are you going?" Cheng Xi returned the kettle to Hongye and stepped forward to ask.

"Went out for a walk." Ji Cheng replied.

Hongye heard the conversation between the two, and her original watering hand paused, what's the matter, Ji Gongzi actually answered the princess's question?!

Cheng Xi heard him say to go outside, and couldn't help but worry: "Is your injury healed?" Last night...... Will it affect your recovery? ”

Although the wound has healed, it will take some time to recover, Ji Chengjin saw that she was a little embarrassed, and rarely comforted: "It's out of the way." ”

"That's good."

Cheng Xi smiled sweetly, and told him to rest more, and as he was talking, Shui Yue led Du Yunyan into the courtyard.

Cheng Xi then remembered that he made an appointment with her yesterday to learn chess skills today.

As soon as Du Yunyan walked into the courtyard, she saw Cheng Xi chatting with a strange man, she couldn't help but be surprised, and she was stunned for a while, and she didn't react.

Seeing this, Ji Cheng went straight back to the side courtyard.

Cheng Xi walked up to Du Yunyan, shook his hand in front of her straight eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Du? ”

Du Yunyan came back to his senses and hurriedly blessed Cheng Xi.

"Oh, there are no outsiders here, so Miss Du doesn't have to see outsiders like this."

Cheng Xi invited Du Yunyan to sit in the front hall, and asked Hongye and Shui Yue to prepare the chessboard and snacks, Du Yunyan took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and still said the question in his heart: "Princess, the man in the courtyard just now, but the rumored proton of Xinyang Kingdom?" ”

"yes."

Cheng Xi replied unabashedly, but when did Ji Chengjin become a rumored figure, she asked Du Yunyan with some curiosity: "What rumors has Miss Du heard?" ”

Originally, Du Yunyan didn't know how to continue the topic when she saw Cheng Xi's refreshing response, but Cheng Xi then asked about her own rumors, and she was also very curious.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Yunyan replied: "Most of the rumors about the princess are about you being jealous of Shen Xiaohou and Miss Jiang Er, and there are also things about Xinyang Guo's proton living in the princess's courtyard and being bullied by you, but most of these rumors add fuel and vinegar, and the princess doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Seeing Xin Yangguo's proton appear in the princess's courtyard today, Du Yunyan knew that these rumors were not all exaggerated, but seeing that Cheng Xi was above board, she didn't seem to think that this matter was inappropriate, but it made her ashamed and felt that she was affected by public opinion.

When she saw such a sharp and decisive chess style for the first time in the Huachao chess game, she thought that Cheng Xi was not as useless as others said, and she had talked to her twice, Cheng Xi was generous and neat, unlike a princess raised in the deep palace, with more freedom and pride, which made Du Yunyan impressed and had a good impression.

After listening to Du Yunyan's answer, Cheng Xi didn't expect her to explain all the gossip without disguise, and she was not as crowded as the young ladies who were raised in the boudoir, and comforted herself, and for a while, she appreciated Du Yunyan even more.

When the real fight on the chessboard, Cheng Xi felt more and more that he was not wrong, Du Yunyan's chess skills were superb, every move was full of wisdom, and the chess style was also as bold as she loved, quite atmospheric, the two played a few games, there were losses and wins, and during the tea tasting, they talked about calligraphy, painting and folk anecdotes, and unconsciously, it was close to dinner time.

Cheng Xi originally wanted to leave Du Yunyan to eat in Fengyang Pavilion, but Concubine Liu De sent someone to invite her to a small gathering, thinking that she had promised Concubine Liu De at the martial arts conference, she could only tell the guards again and again that Du Yunyan must be sent back to Du Mansion safe and sound.

After carefully dressing up, Cheng Xi went to Jinghua Palace.

Before the age of seven, she lived in Jinghua Palace and was raised by Concubine Liude, until the five princes grew up, the Queen Mother took Cheng Xi to take care of her, and then older, Emperor Xiaowu gave Fengyang Pavilion, she had her own residence, but for Concubine Liude's Jinghua Palace and the Queen Mother's Yong'an Palace, there are still special feelings.

Entering the door with a familiar car, Cheng Xi pounced when he saw Concubine Liu De: "Third aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you want to kill me!" ”

Concubine Liu De saw Cheng Xi coquettish in her arms, her heart was soft, and she couldn't help but smile lovingly, and stroked her back with her hand.

"Sister Xi, you just play tricks, and if you don't want my mother to come to Jinghua Palace to see, you have to invite us."

The fifth prince, Cheng Hong, sat on the side, like a little adult, holding his arms to watch the excitement, and he didn't forget to sarcastically mock Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi raised her head from Concubine Liu De's arms and saw Cheng Hong as cute as a jade carving villain, but now she was pouting, obviously unhappy, she smiled and said: "If I come to Jinghua Palace every day, Brother Hong, don't you have to sulk every day, looking at you like this, are you worried that I will snatch my aunt away?" ”

Cheng Hong, who was told about the central matter, turned his head and said-for-tat: "Who is worried, no one walked around with us before, pestering Shen Xiaohou every day, and being seen as a joke." ”

Cheng Xi didn't want to mention those bastard pasts, Concubine Liu De saw that her mood was a little wrong, so she stopped Cheng Hong and asked him to apologize, but Cheng Xi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Brother Hong was right about those things in the past, but I will definitely not be so messy in the future, don't worry." ”

Concubine Liu De looked at Cheng Xi, and she found that the once rude princess had already unknowingly grown into the responsible, wise, and unexpected appearance she is now.

Thinking of the blockbuster of the Hua Dynasty chess game, Concubine Liu De smiled and said: "Aunt is naturally relieved, Xi'er is the one who won the chess game in the Hua Dynasty chess game, when will she also guide Hong'er to play chess?" ”

"I don't want it." Cheng Hong said very arrogantly, "Maybe Sister Xi's chess skills are not as good as mine." ”

Cheng Xi laughed out loud regardless of her image, she wanted to tease when she looked at Cheng Hong's rebellious appearance, so she said very shamelessly: "Is that so?" But I think I'm not only better than you in chess, but also better in martial arts. ”

The matter of martial arts hit Cheng Hong's sore spot, and losing to Shen Rang at the martial arts competition made him unconvinced, but now when he heard Cheng Xi mention it again, he couldn't help but angrily sue Concubine Liu De: "Mother, look at Sister Xi, help her future colt bully me!" ”

Concubine Liu Defei ignored it, only smiled and watched Cheng Xi and Cheng Hong noisy, and a sense of happiness was born in her heart, everything in the past disappeared, and the family was happy in the future.

After the people prepared the dishes, Cheng Xi enjoyed a very sumptuous dinner, talking and laughing with his trusted family members, and sharing happy times.

When she returned to Fengyang Pavilion, she hooked her finger towards Cheng Hong and said, "Brother Hong, come to me when you are free, my sister will teach you very powerful kung fu, and I guarantee that the next time you see Shen Xiaohou, you will knock him down with one punch!" ”

The night breeze is slightly cool, the hazy moonlight shines on the earth, and the palace wall is printed with shadowy shadows, Cheng Xi is in a happy mood, and even walks jumping, seeing Concubine Liu Defei and Cheng Hong today, she has a strong premonition that everything is developing on the good side.

Everything is fine!

Cheng Xi was just complacent, and immediately came to his senses again, no, no, no, there is still an unknown, Ji Chengjin.

Back in Fengyang Pavilion, she came to the side courtyard, now she doesn't have to return to blood, and she has nothing to look for him, she can't find a reason to go in, so she can only quietly climb up the wall and look inside.

Ji Chengjin stood at the desk in front of the window, drawing on rice paper with a focused expression, under the candlelight, Yingying Yuli, Gongzi was shocked, she was itching in her heart, she couldn't help but pick a bunch of jade plum blossoms, and threw them into the room.

Ji Chengjin saw a bunch of white and elegant jade plum blossoms flying in from outside the house, and when he looked up, Cheng Xi propped himself up on the wall and waved at him.
