"Lord Wang, Taifu and I are on official business." Ji Xingzhi didn't expect Shen Nanyu to suddenly speak, and nodded yes with a slight smile on his face.

Ling Yili nodded, and Ji Xingzhi retreated with self-awareness.

"Ayu, the exam is imminent. This king is going to stay in the palace for a few days to remind Ah Yu. "Ling Yili is in good spirits today, and he has forgotten what Shen Nanyu was angry about that day.

Shen Nanyu nodded and didn't say much. Just thinking about it and saying, "The palace is no better than the palace, you take care of yourself." ”

"Here's it for you."

Ling Yili held Shen Nanyu's hand and gave her a piece of jade jue that was cold to her tentacles. "This is a gift from the royal brother, and I will give it to you." He spoke briskly, as if he were not anything particularly valuable.

She opened her palm and looked at it, although it was unengraved. But it is also transparent and bright, and it is a good jade. It was the umpteenth gift he had given her, and somehow, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Ling Yili had been in the palace for six days.

Xingque and Pei Yi are also in this examination. Ling Yili sent the news out, saying that both of them had been appreciated and looked at the great creation.

Palace.

In the Taihe Palace, the Empress Dowager Li was sitting in the hall. Now she is very beautiful, and there is a row of palace maids kneeling in the lower hall, reporting something to her one by one.

It is this year's Shougong, and her younger brother Li Changfei sent several famous chefs in Hexi this year to make a good medicinal meal.

"Queen Mother, Master Li has entered the palace." A palace maid of about forty years of age came in from outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Li straightened up, why did Chang Fei come today. "See you."

…

"What, he asked to return to Beijing!" Patted the chair case. The Queen Mother was obviously shocked by the news.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has already approved it." Li Shangshu paused and said, "The border is safe all year round, and these four princes are not handsome, so they don't have to be stationed in person." ”

"Okay, there was one that was already guarded, and now there is another one!" Empress Dowager Li said fiercely, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her knelt on the side and did not dare to come out.

Li Changfei's mind is unsettled, and his sister values power. No one can be allowed to shake her son's position, and he is calculating every day. Now that King Ranan has returned to Beijing, he is afraid that something will happen again.

When the Empress Dowager Li was still a concubine, she eliminated dissidents one by one. The queen of the year, Concubine Yu...

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li spoke, "Come back, come back, let people keep an eye on it." What are you afraid of, his sister is still in the palace. Heh, as long as Ling Yisang is here, he still dares to turn the sky upside down. ”

Li Changfei lowered his head. No more talking.

Ling Yicheng, the king of Ran'an, returned to Beijing.

The entrance examination is over. Ling Yili was overwhelmed by this errand, and when he came back, Nan Yu saw that he seemed to have lost weight. I can't help but laugh a little in my heart, and I deserve to be pampered. I'm tired for a few days, and I don't have a normal shape.

Ling Yili slept for most of the day as soon as he came back, and ate a lot of food when it was time for dinner. Nan Yu couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Ling Yili was embarrassed to say that the palace was full of banquet dishes, not like the delicious and intimate palace of the palace. Eat less.

However, there is one more person in the palace, Guan Qingyun's sister Guan Ruan. The two sisters are both from the Marquis of Xinyang's mansion, but now Qingyun has entered the palace with Nanyu.

Guan Ruan alone was not relieved in Qingyun in the Hou Mansion, so he begged Nanyu. Nanyu also responded. It's not a big deal for Wang Fu to come personally, but it's just to report to Ling Yili. It is still necessary.

Ling Yili didn't care, and vaguely responded. Multiple people are not a big deal, just let Ah Yu call the shots of these things.

A few days later, the palace decreed. The person who will take the exam has arranged an errand. Xingque was promoted to the imperial guard, with his martial arts. Sooner or later, you have to enter the brocade guard. It's just that it will take another two years of training, after all, it is a newborn calf.

Pei Yi was also strange to say, Ling Yili told Nanyu. Pei Yi actually became the little prince's companion, and I heard that it was Li Shangshu's suggestion. Jing Zhaoyin's children can be royal companions, but I'm afraid that Jing Zhaoyin will burn high incense.

Nan Yu nodded, the two of them had a good place to go.

Now that he is idle, he is very free. actually stayed outside the study all day and teased the little Jingba. It's a bit of a wasted life.

Ling Yili is now free again, and he has returned to his original energetic appearance. Pulling Nan Yu to walk around the big and small shops in the capital, sometimes Nan Yu actually thought of how this King Ping Yi was like a daughter's house, and loved to visit shops.

Today, the prince and the princess are out of the house again.

This time, I didn't go around, and went straight to the Xianshan Building in the capital. It is the best restaurant in Beijing, with four floors and a view of the entire Jinghua street. There is also this wine and food, which is said to be more delicious than the imperial dining room in the palace.

There are even rumors that the chef of the imperial dining room came out to learn from the Xianshan Building!

Shen Nanyu looked at Ling Yili and said these nonsensical words to him, why did this person look so gentle and so talkative.

Ling Yili set the attic on the top floor of this immortal dining building. At a glance, it is indeed far away. Although Nanyu is a native of Beijing, he has never been here. Qingyun stood aside, also looking at the novelty.

"Drive!"

The people in the attic heard the noise of Jinghua Street and looked at it together.

Look at the team, it's royal.

Ling Yili looked at him led by the horse team and was silent.

Knowing it was him, he returned.

Chapter 8: The first rumors of the palace

The pedestrians on the entire street consciously stood in two teams, watching King Ran'an. In the crowd, the people's discussions were clearly heard.

Ling Yicheng, the king of Ran'an, is the first beautiful man in the capital. Personality is flamboyant and informal. Won a hundred battles on the battlefield, and was appointed by His Majesty to win the general. But how can he still be in the position of deputy marshal, which makes these ordinary people not understand.

However, the reason for this is only known to those who know it well.

Nan Yu and Ling Yili stood in front of the attic window, looking at the man. Ling Yili spoke, "Ah Yu, is the fourth brother of this king. I have returned to Beijing. ”

She knew, Ling Yicheng. General Yang Sheng, although he has never met. But I still heard about it. This Ranan King is hot now. It's not a messy lord.

I also heard that there are several nobles in this royal family, only this Ling Yicheng is not easy to get along. Bad temperament, Nan Yu thought about it. In the future, it is better to provoke less, and it is dangerous to look at.

"Nothing to look at." Nan Yu said lightly, turned his head and sat back in his seat. Ling Yili also followed.

Ling Yicheng in the middle of the street looked up. looked at the position where Nanyu was standing just now, and squinted his eyes. He was sitting on a military horse, dressed in red and black hematite armor. A sword was pinned to his waist, and his black hair was tightly tied. The edges and corners are cold, and the eyes are cold. It's really dangerous.

"Lord Wang, what are you looking at?" The white-clothed man behind him asked softly, he was Yun Han.

"It's fine." His voice is like a bewitching Gu, and he can't easily hear it.

The boy in white nodded slightly, looking at him as gentle as jade. However, he is different from Ling Yili, this white dress seems to be warm, but there is a difference between his eyebrows and eyes. It is the cruelty of politicians, and the ruthlessness.

When I come back this time, I have important things to do.

Shen Nanyu and Ling Yili returned home.

"Princess, Mrs. Ji has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

Ji Xingzhi came to the palace every few days, even if he had been friends with the prince before, he had come to the palace as diligently as he did now. The people in the house are talking about this.

"I'll see you now." Nan Yu responded. She glanced at Ling Yili and gestured.

In this way, Ling Yili watched Shen Nanyu leave. Thinking in my heart.

Guan Ruan witnessed it, and his heart had a thought.

Ling Yili returned to Lanyun Ting. Zhan Tian followed behind him, and he could feel that the master was in a bad mood. Since the son has been married for so long, he is single-minded towards the princess. But the princess always turns a blind eye, which shows that the princess is going to exhaust the princess's patience.

"Lord Wang, use some Qinghuo tea to remove the fire." Liangyu brought the tea and handed it forward, and Ling Yili squinted. "Tell me, where does this king's fire come from?"

Liangyu was overjoyed, and sure enough, what the official sister said was right. Now is the right time to add fuel to the fire.

"The princess often talks secretly with Naji-sama in the study now, and there are many inappropriatenesses. Moreover, the princess is always lukewarm to you. The slave and maid see it in their hearts, but they feel sorry for you. ”

Ling Yili stared at the maid, rubbing the corner of her clothes in her hand.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Liangyu thought of a lot of false words, "The princess is the Marquis of Xinyang, and she is rude to you a lot of times, and the people say that you are gentle and don't care about the princess, the princess is actually ......"

"What's your name?" Ling Yili interrupted coldly.

"Slave Liangyu." She rejoiced in her heart, but she did not know that evil was coming.

"Oh, Heaven. Drag her out. He lifted the maid's collar and dragged her out.

What Liangyu didn't know was that she had touched Ling Yili's scales. Her voice of forgiveness was so miserable that she was impatient to hear it, and she slashed her with a knife in one hand.

Liangyu closed his eyes and looked at Ling Yili's vague shadow, which felt bloodthirsty and terrifying.

Zhantian disposed of Liangyu. "Tell me to go down, if anyone talks about the princess again, she will be doomed." He pointed to Liangyu, whose legs had been beaten and blurred with flesh and blood.

Punish someone as a warning to others!

"Throw it out!" I don't look at it anymore.

The people in the palace looked at the miserable Liangyu, and Guan Ruan was among them. Gradually, even she clenched her fists unconsciously.

In the study, Ji Xingzhi and Shen Nanyu discussed some matters in the health office. Qingyun stood aside, thinking about something else.

Ji Xingzhi left, and Nan Yu ordered Qingyun to send him.

Qingyun walked ahead and walked out of the front hall. Ji Xingzhi walked behind without saying a word. She couldn't help but stop, and she turned to face him. "Mrs. Ji."

The two looked at each other, and Ji Xingzhi waited to hear what she wanted to say. No sound was made.

Qingyun made an official salute, "Although Taifu Ji has a comradeship with the princess, he inevitably came to the palace too often. She knew that he was also on duty, but for the sake of the princess's reputation. She still had to warn about this Ji Xing.

Ji Xingzhi's face was expressionless, and he still didn't speak. Raised his eyes to look at Qingyun.

Qingyun knew that he had a clear conscience, but he still continued: "I still hope that Taifu, don't get too close to my princess." She bowed her head. Seems to be pleading. However, Qingyun even felt that he was wrong.

The two of them are also bright when they meet, and now they are the same as those who talk about the princess. Qingyun looked down on himself a little.

Thinking like this, Ji Xingzhi raised his eyebrows. "Too close? Is it that close? He stood in front of her, and Ji Xingzhi was half a head taller than Qingyun. One looks up, the other looks down. The slight breathing between the two of them was heard so clearly.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xingzhi suddenly approached, Qingyun was stunned for a while, and he forgot to retreat. The two looked at each other, and Qingyun did not speak. It's like I've been frozen.

"Master Taifu, the prince wants to see you." At this time, Zhan Tian walked over from not far away, and when he saw these two people getting so close, he paused and spoke.

Ji Xingzhi turned his head slightly, and Qingyun's lips gently rubbed against his cheek. "Yes." He's gone.

Zhan Tian followed behind Ji Xingzhi and looked back at Guan Qingyun who was still in a daze. He smiled maliciously and left.

Qingyun blinked. Finally came to his senses and took a few steps back. Some were unsteady on their feet, holding on to the green trees on the side of the path. I touched my heart, and then I remembered the look I had just met.

He touched his lips again. I cursed in my heart, Deng's disciple! I can't calm down for a long time.

Nan Yu stayed in the study, and Ji Xingzhi was taken to the main hall of the palace by Zhantian. Ling Yili sat there, quite excited.

"Lord Wang." Bow to the line.

"Don't go to see the princess again." Ling Yili got straight to the point. Remind the person in front of you.

Ji Xingzhi smiled faintly, "The prince doesn't have to worry, the princess and I are just talking about business." "Ling Yili really wanted to punch his friend. But he also knows what his friend is.

Angry stood up.

"Brothers and wives can't be bullied!" Zhan Tian stood aside and laughed out loud. Ling Yili said this.

Ling Yili and Ji Xingzhi looked at Zhantian together. The sky returned to its normal color and no longer made a sound.

"Lord Wang, what I want is a brother's wife," Ji Xing paused, "Friend." ”

"You mean, Guan Qingyun." Ling Yili suddenly realized.

Zhan Tian spoke on the side, "Yes, Lord Wang, when my subordinates went to look for Master Ji just now, they did see Master Ji and Miss Qingyun together. He thought about it and said.

"No wonder, every time the princess has any Wen Ce that needs to be dealt with, Miss Qingyun sends it."

Ji Xingzhi didn't speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Ling Yili thought about it and patted Ji Xingzhi. "Well, the king knows. When are you going to marry her back? "Lest anyone talk about it. I didn't say this, but I thought so in my heart.

Ji Xingzhi didn't make much waves, and after thinking about it, he spoke, "I want her to be willing." After all, it's someone I like to love. ”

Yes, Ji Xingzhi stopped when he first met Guan Qingyun. thought she was a foolish and loyal subordinate, and later in the process of many official contacts, I found that she was delicate.

Gradually, I was attracted to her. He didn't want to pay attention to her, but he could always think of her inadvertently until he understood his mind.

Chapter 9: The Cause of Suffering

In the evening, the two were ready to rest as usual.

Nanyu took off all his headdresses and his hair fell apart. She touched her temples tiredly. Ling Yili sat at the small table and looked at Nanyu. Thoughtful. Nan Yu saw Ling Yili sitting upright through the bronze mirror.

"What are you thinking?" asked him for the first time. This was the first time Nan Yu asked him.

Ling Yili looked up at her, "Qingyun, you go down first." ”

Qingyun put down the jade ornament in his hand and looked at Shen Nanyu. Nan Yu glanced at Ling Yili with some confusion. He nodded to Qingyun, but Nanyu's face turned cold.

Qingyun came out of Lanyun Garden. "Say it." She didn't change color against the copper mirror.

"Ayu, have you seen me in the eye?" He said aggrieved.

"You are to Puyang Xingque, to Pei Yi, and even to Ji Xingzhi..."
