Ignoring the instructions issued by the system to reduce the health value, Cheng Xi came to the Imperial Garden, and recalled on the spot, on the day she met the gossip trio, she pulled Ji Chengjin back to blood, looking at Shen Rang's angry appearance, it was obvious that someone described the situation with him.

It is very likely that Jiang Yuxin, Cheng Xi's original guilt for her because of the Hua Dynasty chess game has now disappeared.

Just as he was a little depressed and preparing to return to Fengyang Pavilion, Cheng Xi saw the third prince and the fourth prince walking slowly at the other end of the Jiuqu Covered Bridge.

"Third brother, you are going to be in the limelight at this martial arts competition, maybe you can win the championship in one fell swoop." The fourth prince said with a smile.

"Borrowing the fourth brother's auspicious words, it's not thanks to Sister Mingruo's help, otherwise how could it be my turn to compete with Ji Chengjin." There was an unconcealable smile on the face of the third prince, "Sister Mingruo has many means to rectify Ji Chengjin, it is really our shield, this time, we must hear Ji Chengjin's voice begging for mercy in the martial arts arena." ”

The fourth prince said: "It's a pity that Sister Mingruo may not come to watch the battle, a few days ago she was hurt by Shen Xiaohou, and the flower court chess game also embarrassed Prime Minister Jiang, but she is the most favored daughter of her father, and no one dares to say a word, so in this martial arts conference, the third brother can rest assured to teach Ji Chengjin, just a proton, Sister Mingruo naturally supports us." ”

The two of them said with a flutter of eyebrows, not noticing that someone had already listened to their conversation word for word.

After walking across the nine-curved covered bridge, the fourth prince pointed to the back of the departing figure in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Isn't that Sister Mingruo, I haven't seen you for a long time, why didn't you leave without saying hello?" ”

After Cheng Xi listened to the conversation between the third prince and the fourth prince, the plot of female chess and male martial arts flashed in her mind.

Martial arts conference, is the flower dynasty chess game, another traditional annual event of the Yue Dynasty, the participants for the children of the royal and noble children, although the game will not be rewarded with the addition of officials to the knighthood, but in addition to the emperor personally given the jade belt, for the family prestige and career, has a subtle impact.

Originally, this kind of competition had nothing to do with Ji Chengjin, but several princes and princesses who often bullied Ji Chengjin wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so Princess Mingruo coquettishly gave the emperor a coquettish and added him to the list of martial arts conferences early, and with a little trickery, he faced the three princes in the first round.

Counting the fingers, it is only five days before the official start of the competition.

Back at Fengyang Pavilion, Shui Yue said that Ji Chengjin had returned to the side courtyard, Cheng Xi raised his feet and walked towards his residence, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Streamer sitting on the steps, holding a branch in his hand, writing and painting on the ground at will.

When the streamer saw Cheng Xi walking in, he quickly stood up, and before he could say anything, Hongye beckoned him to come forward and speak.

Streamer saluted respectfully: "What does the princess command?" ”

Cheng Xi's eyes gestured to Hongye, Hongye immediately understood, and she whispered to Liuguang: "You have served Ji Gongzi for many years, how is Ji Gongzi's martial arts?" ”

Streamer didn't understand what the princess meant by asking, could it be because the martial arts tournament was about to start, so she came to investigate the situation? However, on weekdays, I only see the son practicing self-defense, so he honestly says that he is not as good as the princes and grandsons.

Cheng Xi nodded, walked towards Ji Chengjin's room, pushed open the door, and saw him sitting at the table reading a book, so he approached and asked, "Ji Gongzi, I heard that you are also going to participate in the martial arts conference?" ”

The third prince deliberately wanted to bully Ji Chengjin, and when he heard the streamer say that Ji Chengjin's martial arts were average, Cheng Xi was very worried about his safety, after all, if he had any accidents, he would also burp.

"I heard?" Ji Chengjin chewed these two words carefully, and said coldly, "Isn't the princess better than anyone else about this matter?" ”

Cheng Xi coughed lightly in disguise: "If Ji Gongzi can't beat him, it's better to admit defeat as soon as possible." ”

It was not the first time Ji Chengjin had heard such sneering words, his face stiffened, and his voice was comparable to the number of nine cold days: "Thank you princess for your concern, seeing that I admit my mistake and beg for mercy, it must be exactly what you want." ”

Of course not, you're precious now! Cheng Xi wanted to reply like this, but before she could speak, the dizziness caused by anemia swept over.

"Ding! Host, your health is decreasing, and your HP is currently too low, so it is recommended to replenish your HP quickly. ”

Isn't it, at this critical moment, you tell me this?

The sudden weakness caught Cheng Xi off guard, her legs were weak, and she grabbed the thing in front of her in a panic so that she didn't fall.

The flow of blood in her body made Cheng Xi's heart feel a burst of warmth, and when she opened her eyes comfortably, she found that she was grabbing Ji Chengjin's clothes and lying on top of him.

Looking at Ji Chengjin again, he seemed to be frozen, his half-raised arm froze in mid-air, and his good-looking peach blossom eyes stared at him, dumbfounded and at a loss.

Cheng Xi bounced up quickly like a spring, and explained continuously: "Ah, Ji Gongzi, hold ...... Sorry...... Just now, just now, just now, ...... Just ...... The head is a little dizzy. ”

She finished her clarifying words in a confused mind, and quickly covered her mouth with wide eyes, what's the matter, she also began to stutter, could this habit be contagious?!

Before Ji Chengjin came back to his senses, Cheng Xi left the room as if he was running away, ran to the door, and did not forget to turn around and remind: "I want you to pay attention to safety." ”

Sending Cheng Xi's big Buddha away, the streamer returned to the room, and found Ji Cheng standing by the window with a smile, the evening breeze in spring was still a little cold, he hurriedly persuaded: "Son, you have to participate in the martial arts conference in a few days, don't catch a cold, huh?" Childe, your ears are so red, are you sick? ”

Waving his hand impatiently, Ji Chengjin was even more upset by the streamer's words.

On the way back to the main courtyard, Cheng Xi felt that her face was a little hot and her heartbeat was a little fast, she covered her cheeks while summoning the system: "Why are the adverse reactions after my blood replenishment a little serious, is it because I am making up too hard?" ”

"Ding! Host, usually you hold hands with the blood recovery tool and only recover 10% to 20% of the health, but now the first time you throw yourself into the arms to restore 30% to 40% of the health, it is normal for the health to be strong, don't panic, the current health recovery is full, you can rest assured! ”

Although the words of the system are very strange, it is unreasonable to think of its existence, and Cheng Xi did not delve into it, in short, he put his mind at ease without worrying about his life for the time being.

After relaxing, she thought of the woody fragrance lingering on Ji Chengjin's body, which was the aroma of oak and cedar blended together, which was evocative.

Hongye saw Cheng Xi covering her face, and she still had a soft smile that she couldn't stop, which was extremely weird, she was worried: "Princess, what's wrong with you, is it that Ji Gongzi bullied you?" ”

After asking, she herself felt that it was impossible, obviously she didn't hear any movement in the house outside the door, but the princess ran out in a panic, but she was so happy at the moment, then there is only one truth, that is, the princess bullied Ji Gongzi!

Hongye, who saw through the truth, accompanied Cheng Xi to gradually calm down, and she took the opportunity to say the question of the martial arts conference: "The princess is so worried about Ji Gongzi, if he really doesn't want to participate in the martial arts conference, why don't you just quit?" ”

"Of course not."

Cheng Xi said with a straight face, and stated the tacit rules in the martial arts conference to Hongye.

Taking the initiative to abstain from such a thing, in exchange for any prince and grandson nobleman of the Yue Dynasty, can raise it, but Ji Chengjin is different, he is a proton sent by Xinyang State to the Yue Dynasty, sending people under the fence, looking at people's faces and living, he has long had no rights at all.

She thought about it, if she didn't want Ji Chengjin to be in danger, she could only ask the emperor to take back her fate.

After dinner, Cheng Xi took the ginseng soup and came to the imperial study to see Emperor Xiaowu.

"Xi'er has seen her father."

Emperor Xiaowu, who was correcting the chapters into piles, saw Cheng Xi come forward obediently and massaged his shoulders, so he put down the pen, closed his eyes and recuperated, and asked with a smile: "Today, how do you have time to see your father?" If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let me guess, is it another trouble? ”

"No, I obediently listen to my father's words and study every day!" Cheng Xi said aggrievedly, "Today I chatted with the imperial grandmother and Aunt Ning An, thinking that I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I am worried that you don't take care of your body. ”

When Emperor Xiaowu heard this, he first looked at the steaming ginseng soup on the table, and then looked at Cheng Xi incredulously.

Emperor Xiaowu remembered that the Empress Dowager had said that Xi'er suddenly opened her mind after falling into the water, he didn't believe it at first, but now he saw that she was acting decently, and couldn't help but feel deeply gratified, although she was spoiled and arrogant, but in the end she was sensible, and she was worthy of the queen's spirit in the sky.

Cheng Xi was happy and sad when he saw Emperor Xiaowu looking at him, and guessed that he must have remembered the queen who died early, the queen was the daughter of the great general of the Yue Dynasty, and Emperor Xiaowu's childhood sweetheart, who fought with him on the battlefield in his early years, experienced life and death tribulations, but died of depression after giving birth to himself.

She stopped, snuggled up to Emperor Xiaowu, enjoyed a rare parent-child time, and comforted intimately: "If my mother knows in heaven, I don't want my father to work so hard." ”

"Although it is peaceful inside and outside, there are also threats lurking, and we must not relax." Emperor Xiaowu drank the ginseng soup and gently scraped her nose, "Taking advantage of this martial arts conference, it is just a good time to test the qualifications of the young juniors of Dayue, and I am very optimistic about Shen Rang." ”

Hearing that Emperor Xiaowu took the initiative to mention the martial arts conference, Cheng Xi, who didn't know how to speak, had a chance to answer, her mind moved, and she snorted arrogantly: "My cousin is not stained with my light, in my opinion, he is not as good as the fifth brother." ”

During the time of meditation and cultivation, Cheng Xi sorted out the general situation of the Yue Dynasty, although she was not involved in politics, there were many things she should know.

The emperor and queen flounder are deeply in love, the queen gave birth to the eldest son and was named the prince, but the prince died at the age of five, the queen fell seriously ill, during this period, Jiang Guifei and Chen Shufei gave birth to the eldest prince and the second prince for Emperor Xiaowu.

Since the death of the crown prince, the position of the East Palace has been undecided, and the party of the eldest prince and the party of the second prince have gradually formed in the court.
