The smile on Tong's face was closed, and he said as usual: "It's okay, I specially mentioned this matter to Your Majesty yesterday, Your Majesty should remember, and you will come when you think about it later." ”

Bai Yanran lowered her eyes and was silent, her face was indifferent, as if she had not heard it.

Ji Lingyun said with a smile: "What should I do, how can Aunt Gu Yue still have such a big temperament." The left and right just entered the palace according to the etiquette to meet him, anyway, Yan'er and I also wanted to come to see the queen mother, and it didn't matter if the father couldn't see it. ”

The two talked to the Tong family in Fengyi Palace, but they were also comfortable and close. During this period, Concubine Shu asked people to send some rewards, probably thinking that the emperor was also there, so she didn't come in person.

Bai Yanran remembered that in her previous life, she heard Ji Lingyun mention that Concubine Shu was originally a member of the Tong family, and she was drafted into the palace.

When she entered the palace, she was just a talented person because her family background was not obvious, and Emperor Yuanhe was fortunate for a while and then left it behind, and she was also rectified by Lan Guifei because of her cousin with the queen. If she hadn't been blessed to give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, I'm afraid the queen wouldn't have been able to keep her.

Emperor Yuanhe was already a thin heir, and he suddenly added six princes and four princesses. is not only an old man, but also an auspicious omen for the dragon and phoenix, Concubine Shu's mother has been crowned a concubine with her son, and she is becoming more and more stammered with the queen.

After waiting like this for an hour, the great eunuch De'an beside Emperor Yuanhe brought the reward with a smile. Yan Daoyuan and Emperor were too busy to get out of their political affairs, so they disappeared, and only let the usual rewards be brought.

After sending away De'an, who was obviously ill-intentioned, there was a moment of silence in the room, and then Tong spoke: "In this case, I will not keep you anymore." Lingxi's girl has been making a fuss for several days, so while it's still early, you can go to the Liuli Palace and sit down. ”

After that, she motioned to Aunt Gu Yue, and Aunt Gu Yue brought in several palace maids holding things. Two of the palace maids stepped forward, holding silk jewelry in their hands that were very precious, but the style and color were too plain.

Tong said: "Madame Bai can teach such a good daughter, this palace should thank her well." This is just a small heart, so you can bring it to Madame Bai for me. ”

Bai Yanran thanked her and was sent out by Aunt Gu Yue along with Ji Lingyun. Because the three of them were talking in the temple, all the attendants were left outside the door. However, when he came out at this moment, only Su Xin was left.

Bai Yanran's face immediately sank, and she asked, "Where did Chunyi go?" ”

Su Xin's face was not very good-looking, and she leaned into Bai Yanran's ear and said: "After the young lady and the prince went in, Chunyi said that she had a stomach trouble, and she ran away by herself without waiting for me to find a palace person to guide her, who knew that there would be no one when she went." ”

Saying that, she looked at Ji Lingyun and said, "Later, the Gu Fang guards didn't know what to do, so I was the only one waiting here." ”

While speaking, Gu Fang happened to come back, but Chunyi was still nowhere to be seen.

Ji Lingyun looked at Gu Fang, Gu Fang nodded slightly imperceptibly, Ji Lingyun's eyes sank, and then he said as usual: "It's okay, I'll let the palace people look for people, let's go to Liuli Palace first, Lingxi must have been in a hurry." ”

Although Bai Yanran had doubts in her heart, she also knew the seriousness of the matter.

The two went to the Liuli Palace, Princess Lingxi really couldn't wait, and personally waited for the two in front of the Liuli Palace, and when she saw Ji Lingyun from a distance, she ran over regardless of the guidance of her aunt beside her.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, you can be regarded as here. Presumably this is the princess's sister-in-law, right? ”

Princess Lingxi is thirteen years old this year, and she is the age when she is waiting to be released, and her appearance is delicate and smart, especially a pair of eyes that are as clear and bright as amber, which makes people feel good.

She saluted as if she was in shape, and said with a smile: "Lingxi has seen the fifth sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law for doing the right thing for the sky, accepting the scourge of the five emperor brothers, and saving many young ladies in Beijing." ”

When Ji Lingyun heard this, he hurriedly looked at Bai Yanran's expression, and then turned his head to Lingxi with a straight face and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you little girl, I have always been clean and self-conscious, and I am by no means as merciless as rumors from the outside world." It's just that the raw jade tree is in the wind, and it is also suave, which has caused these rumors to be red and slandered. ”

Seeing Ji Lingyun's straight face, Ling Xi was really a little stunned, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard it. He no longer paid attention to this unobtrusive royal brother, and instead took the arm of the new sister-in-law and teased: "I thought that the imperial brother was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now it seems that there are people who can cure you, if you bully me again in the future, I will tell my sister-in-law and let my sister-in-law teach you a lesson for me." ”

Ji Lingyun shook his head and sighed: "It's really a little conscienceless, I have loved you since I was a child, don't expect to beg in the future: I'll take you out of the palace to play." ”

Bai Yanran had never had contact with Princess Lingxi in her previous life, and at this moment, seeing the princess and princess getting along like ordinary brothers and sisters, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and she was even closer to Princess Lingxi in her heart.

However, thinking of this, she thought of the ending of Princess Lingxi's previous life, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

In the previous life, about half a year later, there would be foreign envoys who came to ask to marry the princess and relatives, the eldest princess had already married a woman, and the second princess was sick all the year round, so only Princess Lingxi was the most suitable.

And Princess Lingxi's mother died early, and Emperor Yuanhe didn't pay much attention to it, so the matter was decided. When Ji Lingyun knew, the holy decree had been issued, and it was difficult to collect it.

Ji Lingyun quarreled with Ji Chengyu, who was hiding from him, or Ji Lingyun lost his temper with Ji Chengyu. This is the first time Bai Yanran has seen Ji Lingyun so out of shape, and it is the first time she has seen him so disrespectful to Ji Chengyu.

Ji Lingyun attaches more importance to Ji Chengyu, the imperial brother of a fellow mother, even more than Emperor Yuan He.

Or it is precisely because of Emperor Yuanhe's preference for Lan Guifei's mother and son, and his disregard for the queen's mother and son, that Ji Lingyun pinned his admiration for his father on Ji Chengyu.

Ji Chengyu is like a brother to Ji Lingyun, and Ji Chengyu is also a brother to Ji Lingyun, but this does not mean that he can also value Princess Lingxi so much.

Exchanging the marriage of a princess for decades of peace on the border is a very worthwhile deal in the eyes of any person in power, and Ji Chengyu and Emperor Yuan He obviously intended to do so.

As a royal princess, she should have had this consciousness a long time ago, so Ji Chengyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this marriage, but he deliberately concealed it because he was afraid of Ji Lingyun's temperament.

Although Ji Lingyun and Ji Chengyu had a big fight, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Later, Princess Lingxi even came to visit King An's Mansion at night, but persuaded Ji Lingyun to look away from the matter, and Ji Lingyun finally had no choice but to give up.

A month later, when the mission returned, they took with them Princess Lingxi, who was close to her, and although it is said that the high-ranking regent that the Duke of Lingxi was marrying was not yet a year old, it can be said that he is a rare young talent.

But leaving his hometown to marry a foreign country, and always being a stranger in a foreign land, you can imagine how sad it is, and in less than two years, the news came that Princess Lingxi was depressed and died.

On the day he heard the news, Ji Lingyun drank all night and was drunk for three days.

In her previous life, Bai Yanran herself was difficult to protect, and she and Princess Lingxi were only related to the side of King An's Mansion, and she was only embarrassed when she heard the bad news, and she was more worried about Ji Lingyun's body.

The aunt beside Princess Lingxi also followed at this time, looking at Princess Lingxi with disapproving eyes. Ling Xi stuck out her tongue, pulled her aunt's sleeve and said coquettishly: "My good Sang Cong aunt, it's rare for the Fifth Emperor Brother to bring his sister-in-law here today, so you don't want to restrain me like this." I promise that I will learn to be a dignified and elegant princess from tomorrow. ”

Aunt Sang Cong said with a wooden face: "I said this to me since the princess was five years old, and I haven't seen what tomorrow will be after so many years." ”

That being said, Aunt Sang Cong has taken care of Princess Lingxi, who has lost her mother since she was a child, and has long loved her as a grandson. That's why she is so strict with her, thinking that if she can please the emperor, Princess Lingxi's good life will last for a long time.

Listening to her words at this moment, although she was not polite, she also softened, no longer following behind all the time, and really let her twitter and dance, without the demeanor of a royal princess.

A few people entered the Liuli Palace, the palace people were busy serving tea, and the three of them talked about some interesting things, which was very relaxed.

Princess Lingxi suddenly remembered something, looked at Bai Yanran and said with a smile: "I only learned that after the imperial brother told me that day, it turned out that my sister-in-law was the girl who was brought to my palace by the imperial brother to borrow clothes to wear. ”

She shook her head and said: "No wonder my sister-in-law is so unlucky to marry the royal brother, I wanted to repay the life-saving grace of the year." Tsk, that's a big loss. ”

Bai Yanran also remembered that she had also crossed paths with Princess Lingxi in her previous life. It's just that Lingxi was not in his palace that day, so the meeting between the two continued until he became a cat after his death, and it seems that this is also fate.

Although Princess Lingxi loves to play around, she obviously knows how to measure. She put all the snacks made in the small kitchen as if she was offering treasures, and couldn't help but eat most of them herself, so she couldn't get enough of letting the two of them go.

Bai Yanran inexplicably felt that Princess Lingxi and Qi Simin would probably get along very well.

Princess Lingxi reluctantly sent the two out of the Liuli Palace. At this moment, it was almost lunch time, and the Bai family was waiting for them to return to the door, and they must have prepared lunch at this moment, and the two of them left the palace without delay.

Out of the Liuli Palace, Gu Fang said: "The palace people sent to find Chunyi have all returned, saying that they didn't see her near Fengyi Palace, so they must have gone farther away." ”

Bai Yanran always felt that there was something in Gu Fang's words, but Ji Lingyun just responded lightly and didn't think so. Bai Yanran intuitively felt that Ji Lingyun should know Chunyi's whereabouts and purpose, so she was no longer worried.

I didn't want them to arrive at the gate of the palace, so Su Xin said from afar: "Hey, isn't that Chunyi?" ”

A few people looked up and really saw Chunyi standing at the palace gate. When I got closer, I realized that she was distracted, and she didn't even notice that a few people were approaching.

Bai Yanran frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Chunyi came back to his senses suddenly, looked up and saw a trace of discomfort flashing on Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun's faces, and lowered his head to reply: "The slave maid accidentally got lost in the palace, and she didn't dare to ask the palace people for fear of breaking the rules, so she groped around by herself, but failed to find Fengyi Palace, but found the palace gate, and thought that waiting for the princess and princess here was the same." ”

Her words were obviously inconsistent, first saying that she was afraid that the rules would be broken, and even the palace people didn't dare to ask, but she dared to go around in the palace of Nuoda, and she went around half of the palace from Fengyi Palace to the palace gate.

But Bai Yanran didn't expose her, but said: "Be careful in the future, if you go to the wrong place and commit a taboo, beware of really losing your life." ”

Chunyi pursed her lips, only thinking that Bai Yanran was scaring her, but she didn't hear the meaning of these words. Ji Lingyun heard it and looked at Bai Yanran with a smile.

As soon as a few people left the palace gate, Bai Yanran glanced at Su Xin, and Su Xin quietly turned around and asked the guards at the palace gate what to do, and then followed Bai Yanran into the carriage together.
