In the autumn of this year, the emperor contracted a cold and was sick in bed, and ordered Prince Rong Qixi to supervise the country, and Prince Yu Qijin to assist the government. Rumors spread in the palace that the emperor intends to take the throne with the second prince, and Prince Rong is the future emperor. When I came back from the old lady's greeting for peace, I happened to meet a group of them, and Qi Xi and his party saw me first, and came forward to speak, when Qi Jin and his party came from behind. I owe a debt:

"Say hello to Prince Rong, say hello to Prince Yu."

Keiki looked at me and smiled slightly:

"Get up."

I bowed slightly, and when I looked up, I saw Qi Jin's solemn face.

"Just got off the morning court?" I looked at Qi Jin. Qi Jin raised the corners of his mouth:

"Hmm. Have you gone to say hello to the Imperial Grandmother? ”

"yes." I nodded, and Keiki suddenly reached out to help me tuck my neckline, and whispered:

"It's cold, wear more. Don't catch a cold. ”

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Qi Jin's brow furrowed, staring at us tightly. This action is more ambiguous to anyone looking at it, and I laughed silly:

"Thank you, second brother, it's getting cooler this day, ha, ha, Nian Huan won't bother you!" It can be described as fleeing in the wilderness, Xi'er followed me in a hurry, and I breathed a sigh of relief after walking quickly to a rockery. Xi'er poked her head out and saw that they were all gone, and she and I came out.

"Master, the slave and maid were frightened just now, you can't really see it from that angle, but the slave and maid really saw that Prince Yu's face changed, and his eyes were about to burst into flames!"

"I saw it too. Scared to death. ”

"It's Prince Rong, why did you suddenly ...... That doesn't work, he likes you too? Xi'er's exclamation gave me a roll of the eyes and then quietly silenced. Now with this momentum, Prince Rong has a great chance of ascending to the throne, but according to his military merits and the degree to which the prince is favored, it should be Qi Jin's!

Either way, they both have to stay away!

A few days later, in the evening, Xi'er came into the house to report that Prince Yu had arrived.

I was practicing calligraphy, and before I put down the pen in my hand, Qi Jin entered the house.

"What are you doing?" Qi Jin walked up to me, and the table was covered with the words I had just copied on the table. I was about to put down the pen in my hand, he reached out and grabbed the hand I was holding the pen, picked up the pen, and wrote in the register: Qi Jin Qi Jin

It's written in the same font as me, and it looks like I wrote it.

"Why are you so cheeky, it's obvious that I wrote it, why do you want to put your name down?" I smiled and turned my head sideways, only to find that Qi Jin was looking at me. I could clearly feel his snort, the sandalwood on his body.

"Your current name is not Qi Jin, I want to write it, but you can't control it." His deep voice tickled my ears. "That's my name, I like it, and I don't allow anyone to write it out."

"Okay. It happened to be my favorite name, so I wrote, what's the matter? ”

The promise was so crisp that it made me laugh, but Qi Jin looked at me and said seriously:

"I also like your current name, but you have always been called Qi Jin here, with the same name as me"

Laughing is laughing, suddenly what the hell is serious, it's like a confession,

I didn't dare laugh anymore.

Hurriedly put down the pen, shifted the position to drink water, just picked up the water cup, Qi Jin asked me behind him:

"Tomorrow free? I'll pick you up. ”

I looked back at Qi Jin in surprise. What are you going to do tomorrow? Qi Jin came over to me and poured himself a glass of water:

"Tomorrow is our birthday, and you forgot that?"

Qi Jin's birthday! In all the years since I passed, I have never had a birthday with Qi Jin. Yes, it's not my real birthday, so I don't pay much attention to it.

"Out of the palace to play?" I was immediately interested. Qi Jin nodded while drinking water while looking at me, then put down the water glass and helped me pull the hair in my ear behind my ear:

"Well, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. Why does hair keep falling? Is it because the ears are too small? ”

Qi Jin's hand was studying my ears, I was already glaring at him, and he smiled at me innocently:

"The small ears are very pretty, I like it."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

On the birthdays of these years, in addition to receiving gifts from the old lady and the queen, as well as the ladies of the palace, Qixi and a few of them will also ask people to give gifts. Qi Jin has been fighting in the southwest, so tomorrow will be my first birthday with him! I'll go out of the palace to play, so let's wear men's clothes! Also, what should I give Qijin as a birthday gift? There's no oven here, so you can't make a birthday cake......

After I pondered and meditated and repeatedly recalled the practice of steaming cakes and steamed all night, Xi'er opened the steamer and saw the pale yellow steamed cake and let out a surprised "Wow~ ", wow, finally succeeded! Then spread the cream that I have been churning by hand for a long time, the strawberry jam that Xi'er makes on weekdays, and then sprinkle with rose sauce and a few osmanthus flowers, and you're done!

The little eunuch took me in men's clothes to the palace gate, and Qi Jin stood by the carriage in court clothes and waited for me. When he saw me carrying a food box, he asked:

"What is this?"

I put the food box on the wagon:

"Good stuff, I'll show you later!"

The carriage went out of the palace gate all the way to the west, passed through the downtown area, and then went out of the city gate. I lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside, and asked:

"Qi Jin, where are we going?"

Qi Jin took off his court clothes, changed into the brocade robe he wore on weekdays, and said while buttoning the buttons:

"You'll find out in a moment."

When I turned around, I saw Qi Jin buttoning the button around his waist, but he couldn't button it at all. I shook my head, this emperor brother has not dressed himself since he was a child, and he couldn't even button a button, so he reached out to help him button it, got up, and helped him sort out the buttons and sleeves of his collar by the way. Raising his eyes again, Qi Jin's eyes looked straight at me.

"When you were in the Southwest, did someone else help you get dressed and buttoned?" I asked him.

"I have a concubine with me to dress me." He replied in a serious manner.

I rolled my eyes, with your level of self-care, you can be considered a second-class cripple in the 21st century.

"Lost to you elder brothers."

"Haven't you always had Xi'er to help you......"

"I've always insisted on getting dressed!"

Qi Jin burst out laughing.

After he tied the jade pendant around his waist, I neatly folded his court clothes and put them aside. The carriage was bumpy, and I was sleepy from the rocking, and I slept for a while until the neighing of a horse and I woke up. Qi Jin said, it's here. He got out of the carriage first, and when I opened the curtain and raised my eyes, I saw that the begonia flowers were in full bloom, and the mountains were full of red! I was stunned by the sea of flowers in front of me, Qi Jin stretched out his hand to me and pulled me out of the carriage, and my eyes didn't leave this sea of flowers. Seeing me walking towards this flower in a daze, Qi Jin followed and said in my ear:

"This is my birthday gift to you."

I turned around and crashed into Qi Jin's arms.

"Do you like it?"

Looking up, Qi Jin's eyes were full of pampering and fell into my eyes. I hurriedly took two steps back, Qi Jin followed closely two steps forward, I retreated, Qi Jin followed again, and before I knew it, we were already in the middle of the sea of flowers.

"Don't follow me!" I took two steps back and stretched out my hand to stop Qi Jin from following, if he did, I would have nowhere to stand.

"Why can't I follow you!" Qi Jin asked rhetorically, but fortunately his footsteps stopped.

"Then why are you following me?" I looked Qi Jin straight in the eye. Qi Jin suddenly grabbed me, looked at me and said:

"You said that one person can go very fast, and two people will go far. You promised me that you would wait for me to go with you. Now that I'm an adult, I can keep up with you. ”

When I wrote this to you, I didn't mean what you think now! I wanted to break free from Qi Jin's grip on me, but he controlled it firmly:

"Jin, that's not what I meant......"

"The fifth brother planted a garden of dream interpretation flowers for you, but he left, and only the flowers accompanied you. I, for you, planted this begonia flower all over the mountain, even if this flower fails, I will always be by your side. ”

Oh my God, this wave of love words.

I looked at Qi Jin's eyes, and I had a feeling of falling in an instant.

He also stared at me closely, and I could see that he was expecting and nervous.

I'm waiting for someone who loves me, who will cherish me, pity me, accompany me, love me, the man in front of me who plucked up the courage to kiss me three years ago and told me not to treat him as a younger brother, as always, regards me as the most important person, this kind of love, I want.

So, I smiled softly.

Qi Jin saw me smile and breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily hugged me:

"You promised! You promised me! ”

The echoes of the valley echoed over and over again. Finally, Qi Jin stopped, panting, but he still didn't let go of the hand holding me. I smiled and asked him:

"Are you so happy?"

Qi Jin's big smile bloomed on his face:

"Happy!"

Looking at his childlike smile, I couldn't help laughing:

"Do you want to be a little happier?"

I stood on tiptoe and gave Qi Jin a shallow kiss.

"Happy birthday, Qijin!"

"Qi Jin, happy birthday!"

Wang Xi and Xi'er watched us from the side, kneeling on the ground and congratulating:

"Congratulations, master."

Wang Xi said:

"Master, the pavilion in front has been set up, you and the county lord can go over there to have a look."

When I heard this, I was about to walk forward, but Qi Jin grabbed my wrist, took it hard, and returned to him. Qi Jin looked me in the eye and said:

"Good. But before I go, I have one more thing to do. ”

The tall boy in front of me leaned down and kissed me solemnly and greenly.

He would take my hand.

He would gently wrap his arms around my waist.

He would slowly open his eyes, smile at me, and then say to me:

"I love you."
