There was only Liu Xing'er's intermittent sobbing in the hall, and Bai Yanran did not move like a mountain, neither scolding nor arguing, and signaled Su Xin not to come out.

Ji Lingyun came back to her senses, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Yanran's expression, but saw that she also happened to look over, although her expression remained unchanged, and her usual smile was gone.

Ji Lingyun suddenly sat upright, looked at Liu Xing'er, who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, and said, "Xing'er, you have followed me from the palace to the palace since you were a child, why do you still don't understand the rules so much." If the princess is serious about planning for you, she will call you. If the princess didn't say it explicitly, no matter how others speculated, she wouldn't be able to count, understand? ”

Xing'er sobbed twice, but her mind was full of mud at this time, and she really didn't understand, so she had to bow her head in shame.

Ji Lingyun had no choice but to say again: "The princess is in charge of the palace, and the princess is in charge of your stay and stay, why don't you ask the princess to intercede again." ”

Liu Xing'er shook her head, bit her lip and said stubbornly: "The slave and maid have served the master since childhood, the person who is born is the master, and the ghost of the master is dead, and the slave and the maid will never leave the palace." ”

Liu Xing'er said this quite clearly and understood, Bai Yanran squinted her eyes, got up and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let the prince be the master, and the concubine will not talk much." ”

Without waiting for Ji Lingyun to move, Zhu Ling came in and said, "Princess, Miss Qi is here." ”

Ji Lingyun had no choice but to swallow the words in his mouth again, and watched Bai Yanran leave. He sat back in his chair, his face sinking again.

"Where did you hear that the princess was going to drive you out of the palace?"

Liu Xing'er came back to her senses a little at this time, and asked with a blank look: "Could it be that you didn't want to drive me away?" ”

Facing this girl who has been waiting for him since he was a child, Ji Lingyun naturally has some affection, and this girl is simple-minded, just being used, he can't bear to be harsh, so he has to ease his face and admonish: "You remember, not everyone in the palace is credible, and in the future, you must make a decision in your heart about what you hear and hear, and you can't be at the mercy of others, and everyone will follow the clouds." If you hear anyone slander the princess again, just come and tell me, remember? ”

Liu Xing'er is a little girl who has no ideas, if she wasn't fortunate enough to be assigned to the five princes to wait, she is afraid that she will be eaten in the palace and there will be no bones left.

Knowing that she was being visited by someone and being beaten by Ji Lingyun, Liu Xing'er was ashamed, nodded silently, and couldn't help but complain a little about Miao Yu, who had always been good.

Bai Yanran entered the flower hall, and Qi Simin greeted him and saluted in a proper manner, saying, "The courtiers greet the princess." ”

Joy is a solid-eyed person, and he doesn't know why he is nervously busy following the salute. Su Xin was startled, but Bai Yanran was indifferent, and said, "Joy, your young lady hasn't woken up yet." ”

Qi Simin finally couldn't hold back her laughter, stepped forward and held Bai Yanran's arm affectionately and smiled: "You are also a princess now, before going out, my mother specially told me not to forget the rules, and it is not strange to be polite." ”

As he was talking, a little white milk cat came out, rubbing Bai Yanran's toes affectionately, Bai Yanran reached out to catch it but ran away.

Bai Yanran was surprised: "This little guy has grown so big." ”

Qi Simin smiled: "Do you remember, although these two little milk cats are brother and sister, one loves to eat and sleep, and the other is active and runs all day long." Fang just let it follow the carriage without paying attention, don't worry about it, it will follow back by itself later. ”

After that, the two sat down together, and there was a food box brought by Qi Simin on the table, which was full of all kinds of snacks, and it looked like it was from Qi Simin's hand.

Qi Simin put out a plate of butterflies for dim sum, and said, "I wanted to come to see you the day before yesterday, but my mother said that I had no rules when she found out, and she made me wait for two more days." Oh, it's all your favorite food, I got up early in the morning and went into the kitchen to be busy until now, but you have to remember my sister's heart for you and repay me later. ”

Bai Yanran picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth, and suddenly felt that her mouth was fragrant, and she smiled after using a piece: "This is natural, when you marry into the prince's mansion, I will definitely visit my sister-in-law from time to time." ”

Qi Simin feigned anger and said, "Okay, you little conscienceless, and you make fun of me again." ”

Bai Yanran looked up at the door with a smile, and suddenly called out in surprise: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Qi Simin got up abruptly and stammered, "I, I, I still have something to do, first, go first." ”

After saying that, she was about to slip away without raising her head, but she heard several people laugh, and looked up to see where Ji Chengyu's figure was. Only then did he know that he had been tricked, so he pounced on Bai Yanran and scratched Bai Yanran's waist, and Bai Yanran was busy begging for trouble before giving up.

The two drank tea and ate snacks and talked for a while, and Bai Yanran took Qi Simin to the palace for a walk.

The two of them walked in front, Su Xin and Joy were talking in the back, and Bai Yanran asked: "I didn't ask the two girls just now, so it's time to explain honestly." ”

Qi Simin dodged his eyes and asked, "What do you explain?" ”

Bai Yanran smiled meaningfully, "Tell me what's wrong with you and His Royal Highness the Prince?" Although you didn't like to mention this marriage in the past, you didn't have the same reaction as today, could it be that you did something to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? "Little Peach Chinese

Bai Yanran's word "again" naturally refers to the fact that Qi Simin came to the door to "give a dowry" by himself, Qi Simin was still indignant when he remembered this matter, but he felt that Ji Chengyu was really cunning consistently.

used to point to black and white, and the last time he teased himself like this, he is definitely not a good person.

Ji Chengyu, who was secretly scolded by Qi Simin for not being a good person, just got off the carriage at this moment, and couldn't help but sneeze twice, Xu Quan said on the side: "The master has been standing outside the Deshang Hall for a long time, and he caught a cold, and his subordinates asked the cook of King An's Mansion to boil a bowl of ginger soup." ”

The two walked towards King An's mansion, and the porter naturally knew His Royal Highness the Prince, and he only saluted and didn't need to report before leading people inside.

Ji Chengyu's face was as usual, but he could tell from the pursed lips that he was not in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "This king is in the prime of life, but he has been standing outside the door for two hours, so there is no need to make such a fuss." ”

Having said that, it's late autumn at this time, especially after waking up in the morning. Ji Chengyu stood outside for two hours, although it was fine, his face was also cold and pale, and he was really uncomfortable.

The porter led the two to the study, and on the way, he saw Zhu Yongzheng ordering a row of subordinates to give a lecture. Ji Chengyu saw that these people were familiar, and they were clearly the subordinates of King An's Mansion, but they were all carrying bags, so he asked in surprise: "What did these people do to be kicked out?" ”

The porter guards the door of the palace every day, and naturally knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his own prince are friends and brothers, and he does not dare to hide it, so he told the matter as it was.

After that, he happened to arrive in front of the Linglong Xiaozhu Courtyard, and the porter said: "Now the prince and the princess live together in the Linglong Xiaozhu, and the study has also been moved from Yinfeng Xuan. ”

Ji Chengyu nodded, Xu Quan signaled that the porter could go, and the two entered the Linglong Building. At this moment, Bai Yanran is not in the courtyard, and Gu Fang is not in the mansion, Chunyi has always been lazy everywhere, so Zhu Ling had to face it hard.

"The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince is in the study, and the slave maid will guide His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ji Chengyu bowed his head, and Zhu Ling didn't even dare to breathe in front of him.

Ji Chengyu said suddenly: "I heard that Zhu Yongzheng sent back all the people from Tong Mansion, why are you still here?" ”

Zhu Ling's face turned pale in surprise, and her lips trembled a few times before she spoke.

"The slave and the slave are the princess's eldest maids, and the princess did not send the slaves away."

Ji Chengyu seemed to just ask casually, and when he heard this, he only nodded lightly and said no more, and went directly into the study in front of him. Xu Quan behind him was a little unbearable, and when he saw that Ji Chengyu had already entered, he said, "You go and do things, you don't have to come in and wait." ”

Zhu Ling glanced up at Xu Quan gratefully, saluted indiscriminately and turned away.

When Ji Chengyu entered the study, he saw Ji Lingyun frowning and looking at the recital of the Ministry of Rites, looking a little impatient, and when he saw Ji Chengyu coming in, he didn't salute, and directly threw the recital back on the table and said helplessly: "These old antiques of the Ministry of Rites are all clichés at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet every year. I just proposed that there be many fireworks this year, so I will quote scriptures one by one, and I don't know what a fireworks has to do with celestial phenomena?

If it weren't for the royal brother at the banquet of the last sacrifice ceremony, I am afraid that I would not even be able to hang a few pairs of danqing. These people chew words all day long, and they don't feel that their hands hurt when they write, and I have a headache when I read it, it's all nonsense. ”

The Ministry of Rites has always been like this, the ancestral etiquette is there, and the rest is just trivial matters, otherwise Emperor Yuan He would not have assured that a Ministry of Rites would be handed over to him for pawning.

Ji Chengyu didn't pick up the stubble, but talked about the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

"Just after the dismissal, my father summoned me to the Deshang Palace, and talked about the annihilation of the smoke at the previous ceremony. Although the smoke was rekindled later, in the end, the people's hearts were uneasy, and it was indeed my negligence. ”

Speaking of business, Ji Lingyun also straightened up and said, "Then the imperial brother is suspected of mentioning the establishment of the king?" ”

Ji Chengyu shook his head and replied: "Later, I asked people to follow Ling Xiaofan to investigate, but I only found the brother of Ruguiren, and then the clues were broken, and there was no evidence that could prove that Ji Sihong and Lan Guifei were related to this matter."

If the nobles are exposed too easily, I doubt whether she and King Ning really know about this matter, or if they are just scapegoats for Concubine Lan and Ji Sihong. If so, it will not be what they want. ”

Xu Quan has always been calm, but at this time, he was a little uncontrollable, and said angrily: "But did the master suffer this dumb loss?" The emperor is obviously angry, so he will let the master stand outside the door for two hours, and Concubine Lan is afraid that she is proud at the moment. ”

Ji Chengyu frowned slightly, and Xu Quan was silent again. Only then did Ji Lingyun know that Ji Chengyu was punished for standing, and when he stepped forward to find out that the back of his hand was cold, he frowned and said, "I let people give birth to two charcoal basins, but don't catch the cold." ”

Ji Chengyu was about to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw a cat climbing up the window. The cat scurried into the house and turned around in front of several people, but stopped at Ji Chengyu's upper, rubbing his fluffy little face.

Xu Quan clearly saw a few cat hairs stuck to his master's spotless uppers, and was so frightened that he was busy taking away the cat that didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Seeing that Ji Chengyu had already reached out to hold the cat in his arms, he even showed a faint smile and said, "No need, just use it to warm your hands." ”
