Just when Xu Yishan pointed at Ying Baoyue and said that sentence on the side of the stargazing platform of Jixia School Palace, no one knew that it was in another place, and the dark tide was surging.

New waves are sweeping in.

Half an hour ago.

The rain was pouring down, and just when the upper four palaces in the Jixia School Palace on Zihua Mountain were screened and opened, and they were caught up in a storm that they had never imagined, the Southern Chu State Teacher's Mansion returned to quiet.

But just below the quiet, there is an unusual undercurrent.

Some people are aware of it, but some people are not.

In the Qing'an Courtyard, Ji Qingyuan came back after listening to the report of the person left by his mother every day, and stepped out of the threshold of the East Courtyard like countless early mornings, but it was different from the previous mornings, and he saw his sibling sister sitting quietly under the porch.

This scene is not uncommon, Ji Ange's demeanor is still as quiet and elegant as he has been used to since he was a child, and he can't find any fault, just like a perfect and dignified lady.

He quietly stopped in front of his sister's courtyard and stared at the girl in a daze under the porch.

Ji Ange's expression was calm, and even the maid serving behind her didn't notice anything wrong, and it seemed that she was just in a daze.

But Ji Qingyuan didn't think so.

"The eldest prince?" Ji San, who was following him, noticed his pause and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"There's something wrong with Miss." Ji Qingyuan said lightly.

"Something is wrong?" Ji San looked at Ji Ange, everything was as usual, the second monk was puzzled, and the next moment Ji Qingyuan ordered lightly, "You are guarding here, I'll go in and take a look." ”

After speaking, Ji Qingyuan sighed in his heart, and walked into the west courtyard of Qing'an Courtyard, he and Ji Ange have a very strong relationship, he also comes to this courtyard often, and it looks no different from the past ten years.

However, the next moment, Ji Qingyuan's eyes looked around slightly, and the young man's heart was slightly cold, and his eyes were closed.

And at this time, Ji Ange, who was usually sharp, reacted.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Ji Ange's eyes, which originally seemed to be looking at something, gradually focused, and he suddenly got up and saluted his brother.

Ji Qingyuan retracted his gaze, looked at his sister who was standing quietly not far away, sighed again in his heart, and spoke quietly.

"Because you look lost."

"Lost in spirit?" Ji Ange was stunned, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, looked back at the confused maid, looked at the eldest brother opposite and laughed softly.

"It's always something you can see."

Ji Qingyuan stared at her concisely, "What happened?" ”

Ji Ange was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for her to answer, he only heard the brother in front of him say lightly, "I heard that you went to Jiashu Courtyard with her yesterday morning." ”

Who this "she" is self-evident.

Ji Ange took a deep breath and nodded. The eldest brother was trapped in one place, but his hands and eyes were clear, and she was not surprised that he knew.

Ji Qingyuan frowned when he heard this, and looked at Ji Ange deeply, "Then what about her now?" ”

"Huh? Big brother, you don't know? Ji Ange was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, "She's gone." ”

Ji Qingyuan nodded, getting his sister's affirmation, he recalled the rumors he had just heard, "Yes...... Sending her guard to participate in the screening of the upper four houses? ”

Ji Ange nodded, Ji Qingyuan looked at her and asked tentatively, "Did you see that she could go out, do you want to go out too?" ”

Ji Ange was stunned when she heard this, but the next time she looked at her brother with a complicated expression, she hesitated for a long time, and finally felt that she should confess to her eldest brother.

Even if everything was her guess.

"You look like you want to say something to me," Ji Qingyuan looked at his sister's fiercely shaking eyes and spoke quietly.

Ji Ange's shoulders shook, and he looked at his brother with a resolute face and bit his lip, and finally said that sentence.

"Big brother, she may ...... It's not just sending the guards to participate in the screening of the upper four palaces. ”

Ji Qingyuan's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he stared at Ji Ange's eyes tightly.

"What did you find?"

"No," the man's voice paused, and he closed his eyes, not why, the starry sky that he had seen when he was eight years old suddenly appeared in front of Ji Qingyuan's eyes. The man quietly opened his eyes and looked at his sister, "Did she say anything to you?" ”

Ji Ange's heart trembled fiercely, she thought of the scars on the woman's body under the candlelight, and remembered the words she thought she would laugh at if she didn't think so, but at this time she looked at Ji Qingyuan and spoke quietly.

"She told me she wanted to attend the Beginner Ceremony."

As a woman, a princess, that person wants to participate in the beginner ceremony.

Ji Ange originally thought that she, as a normal Nanchu person, could not take this seriously, but at this time, she realized that she actually subconsciously felt that the woman would really do this.

Otherwise, she would not have such doubts at this time.

Ji Qingyuan looked into Ji Ange's eyes and expressed her suspicions for her, "Do you think that woman herself will also go to participate in the screening of the Fourth Palace?" ”

Ji Ange clenched his fists and nodded with difficulty, "Big brother, I know you must think I'm making a fool, but ......"

"No, I think what you guessed, maybe it really happened." However, Ji Ange didn't expect that Ji Qingyuan not only didn't laugh at her, but the next moment his eyes became complicated.

The world may think it's impossible, but there's nothing impossible in this world.

Ji Qingyuan suddenly smiled bitterly.

At least he'd seen that there had been such a bold woman in the world.

"Big brother?" Ji Ange didn't know why, he felt that his brother's eyes at this time were a little unfamiliar, and he couldn't say what he missed.

"If that's the case, what are you sitting here for?" Ji Qingyuan looked at her, his gaze was more complicated, "Do you want to go together?" ”

Ji Ange was shocked again, the reason why she was sitting here was that she couldn't forget the eyes of the woman when she left early this morning.

The girl strode to the threshold, and suddenly turned to look at her at the doorway.

"Ange, let's go together."

Ange, let's go together.

Go, where to go? Going outside? Go to the Jixia School Palace? Go to the world of ascetics?

Ji Ange didn't know what she was thinking at the time, she only knew that at that moment, she had never been flustered and afraid.

Ji Qingyuan listened to his sister's words, his mood became more and more complicated, he looked at Ji Ange and took a deep breath, smiled at him and said.

"Big brother, I refused."

Ji Qingyuan looked at the mask-like smile on his sister's face, fell silent for a while, and then spoke quietly.

"Why? If it's my father's ban, my father is not at home, if you want to go out, I can find a way, why do you ......"

"Big brother," Ji Ange interrupted him, staring deeply into his brother's eyes.

Then she said word by word.

"I'm scared."

Ji Qingyuan was stunned.

I just heard the sister in front of me seem to continue.

"I'm scared." Ji Ange said frankly, "I'm afraid to go to Jixia School Palace as a woman." ”

"Big brother, you may have never experienced such a feeling." The girl said lightly.

"If there are ten people in this world who oppose you, people may feel that what they are doing is wrong."

"And what if there are hundreds? What about thousands? ”

She really didn't know how to deal with it.

She grew up and was only right if people kept telling her that it was wrong to do what she did, and that she was right not to do anything.

The girl's smile was lonely, bitter and full of disgust, and Ji Ange spoke quietly as if she was spitting poison.

"Big brother, I can't even resist my father, how can I face the accusations of a thousand people?"

Ji Qingyuan's heart was like being hit by a heavy hammer, looking at his sister who was gritting his teeth and trembling slightly, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Ji San rushed into the door, looked at Ji Qingyuan and said, "Eldest son, something happened, the second prince asked you and Miss to go over!" ”
