The inner courtyard of the Ji Mansion, bypassing the winding corridor that seems to have no end, and then passing through the arch of the glazed tile hanging flowers, is the boudoir of Ji Lingyun, the fourth lady of the Ji Mansion.

Ji Lingyun, the fourth lady of Jifu, is the youngest daughter of Lord Ji of the Ministry of Shangshu, Lord Ji and his wife have been married for many years, this Ji Lingyun can be regarded as an old girl, and she is also the only daughter of the two couples who is still in the boudoir.

Right now, Ji Lingyun knelt in the middle of the boudoir, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Mother, my daughter is going to marry him!" ”

Sitting in front of her was Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji put down the cup in her hand and hurriedly pulled her daughter up: "What you think about every day is one out of one!" ”

"My daughter has really made up her mind this time!" Ji Lingyun refused to get up, and lay on Mrs. Ji's knees, "If you can't marry him, daughter, daughter won't live!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Before Mrs. Ji could answer, the door was kicked open, Ji Luoyu was full of indignation, and stepped forward and pointed at Ji Lingyun: "A few days ago, I was just going to die and live to marry that poor student, and I was on a hunger strike and kneeling in the yard on a rainy day, how miserable did I come!" Your mother and I just promised you, and in the blink of an eye, you are going to marry the Seventh Prince again! ”

"Then, the Seven Princes can be married if you want to?" Ji Luoyu was so angry that he paced around the house, "Besides, what about the Du family?" You have made eight characters with that Du Jinglai, and you have set a date! Ji Lingyun, do you still want a reputation? Do you still want the face of the old Ji family? ”

Ji Lingyun stretched out her hand to wipe her tears: "What kind of person is Du Jinglai?" If I don't marry him, he will dare to marry me forcibly! People can be separated when they become relatives, we just talk about it, and there is no worship hall and no cave room, why do we have to him? ”

"Besides......" Ji Lingyun twisted her body, "Don't think I don't know, in the past, the queen always loved to pass her mother into the palace, didn't she just say kiss for her son......"

"Once upon a time?!" When Ji Luoyu heard this, he was even more angry, "You still have the face to mention the past!" If in the past, when your mother asked you to marry, you married happily, and now, you are already the Seventh Imperial Princess! ”

Ji Luoyu stomped his feet: "Are you now or before?" His Royal Highness the Seventh is not stupid, but has made great contributions, who in the entire capital does not want to marry her? Is it your turn? You don't look in the mirror either! ”

As soon as she heard this, Ji Lingyun's mouth was deflated, and she immediately wanted to cry.

She knew that her mother felt sorry for her the most, so she squeezed her tears hard.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ji hurriedly took Ji Lingyun into her arms, and scolded Ji Luoyu: "How can you speak!" Do you say that about your daughter? ”

"What's wrong with the Seventh Prince? He has not been treated by the emperor since he was a child, and he has been stupid for 20 years, who knows if the old disease will recur in the future, our daughter is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and she is worthy of his seventh prince! Mrs. Ji rolled her eyebrows, "In the mansion of the servant next door, I ran to the palace with my daughter twice in three days, but the queen never moved, and I must not have looked down on that Zhu Shishi." ”

"In terms of talent and appearance, that Zhu Shishi is far worse than our Yun'er, I will take Yun'er to meet the queen mother another day, maybe this marriage can be done!" Mrs. Ji whispered.

"Yun'er is so arrogant and willful, she has been spoiled by you!" Ji Luoyu flicked his robe and slammed the door in anger.

Mrs. Ji glanced at the outside, and tightened the daughter in her arms again: "Don't worry about him, tomorrow my mother will ask the best rouge shop in the capital to send you grease cream, and I will hand over the post to the palace in a while!" ”

"No, mother, afternoon! In the afternoon, I asked someone to send the rouge to the house, and tomorrow morning we will enter the palace to meet the queen! Ji Lingyun was coquettish, and coaxed Mrs. Ji to nod her head.

After Mrs. Ji left, Ji Lingyun immediately led the maid out of the house, she thought that Linlangfang's dim sum was so famous, and the queen mother often lived in the deep palace and couldn't eat it, so it was better to buy two copies in person and bring them into the palace tomorrow to give the mother a fresh meal.

Sitting happily in the sedan chair and just out of Yuewei Alley, the sedan chair stopped suddenly, shaking Ji Lingyun unsteadily touched the sedan wall, and his brows suddenly twisted: "What's the matter, the sedan chair can't be lifted steadily?" I'll change you when I go back to Ming'er! ”

"Miss!" The maid Fang'er's voice sounded from the window, "Miss, it's Du Gongzi!" ”

Ji Lingyun's brows furrowed even deeper: "Du Jinglai? What did he come to do! ”

As he spoke, he lifted the green silk curtain, looked out, and saw Du Jinglai stopped in front of the sedan chair at a glance.

Du Jinglai raised his eyes and happened to see her, so he hurriedly ran over and walked under the small window: "Lingyun, you ...... You're not marrying me anymore? ”

Ji Lingyun didn't answer Du Jinglai's words, but said impatiently to the sedan chair man: "Don't leave yet!" ”

The four sedan chair drivers hurriedly lifted the sedan chair and went straight to Jinqi Lane.

Du Jinglai followed beside the sedan chair and asked as he walked: "Lingyun, didn't you promise to go to the end of the world with me?" The great rivers and mountains are waiting for us to see, and when you have seen enough, we will choose a favorite place, set up a small home, and have a pair of children. ”

"Lingyun, when the time comes, you can do whatever you want, I will never care about you, and give you the freedom you want most." Du Jinglai's eyes were a little red, he rubbed them himself, and muttered in a low voice, "The dust ran into his eyes." ”

"Do whatever I want?" Ji Lingyun lowered her head and looked down at the young man who was wearing a whitewashed green coat with a young and embarrassed face, "What I want to do is to marry the Seventh Prince, if you are really good for me, then don't come to me again." ”

"Yun'er!" Du Jinglai raised his head suddenly, "You, I...... Before that, what were we ......?"

"What?" Ji Lingyun smiled annoyedly, she really didn't expect this kid to be so persistent, "You asked for a nobleman, I helped your mother pay for the medicine, isn't it enough?" Could it be that you really want to become the son-in-law of Lord Tobe Shangshuki, fly to the branches, and enjoy wealth without worries from now on? ”

"No, no, no." Du Jinglai was taken aback, "I am grateful that you helped me and saved my mother's life, but the words between us, the words of the two of us, are they all false?" ”

"Fool!" Ji Lingyun sighed, "Could it be that you are still serious?" The young lady of the rich and noble family will not look down on the poor scholars, and the stories in the books are told to the delusional people, so that they can dream, but the story is always the story, and the dream will eventually wake up. I've never taken a fancy to you, I found you just to find an excuse to run away from home, even if I didn't meet His Royal Highness the Seventh a few days ago, I followed you, and when I found a place I liked, I would settle down and live on my own, and it had nothing to do with you. ”

Du Jinglai suddenly stopped, stunned in place, watching the sedan chair sway and slowly walk away, drowning into the crowd and disappearing again.

The list of Chunfu has long been released, Du Jinglai's name is on the list, he didn't even go to the palace test for Ji Lingyun, the emperor has eliminated his name in a fit of anger, and if you want to take the road of official career again, you have to wait for the next Chunqiu three years later.

I thought I would fly with my beloved, but I didn't expect to wait for such a result.

Du Jinglai lowered his head and stood at the intersection for a long time without moving.

What a nobleman, this is obviously his calamity.

……

Jin Xiaolou followed Gao Lang and got off the sedan chair outside the Chonghua Gate.

Shuttling through the stone railing of white marble, I walked all the way around the imperial garden and walked to the Qinghui Palace.

Empress Gao has been living in the Qinghui Hall closest to the imperial study since the Jiaolan Hall was destroyed by fire.

This Qinghui Hall is almost imitated from the former Jiaolan Palace, and the specifications are better, because it is closest to the imperial study, and the emperor is resting in the Qinghui Palace.

In the past ten years, even if there are newly favored nobles, none of them can shake the position of the queen's mother.

The bright yellow glazed tiles are even more dazzling in the sunlight, and on the eaves of the top of the mountain, a row of ridged beasts stand like clouds and moonspit.

Just the magnificent momentum of this palace makes people dare not speak loudly, and no matter how powerful a person is, he has to make the two high palace walls absorb three points of momentum.

Jin Xiaolou followed behind Gao Lang and walked towards the Qinghui Hall step by step.

Outside the palace gate, the little palace maid rushed to Gao Lang and blessed her body: "Niangniang has been waiting for a long time, please come in the Seventh Highness." ”

Entering the main hall of Qinghui Palace, the queen sat on the phoenix chair, and saw that Zhao Yao, who came in, was followed by a woman, she was stunned at first, and then her face returned to normal, and she pointed to her side: "No need to be formal, sit down." Lang'er, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”

Gao Lang didn't even smile: "The queen mother has been comfortable for a long time." ”

A sentence choked the queen, but the big palace maid beside the queen said unhurriedly: "Your Royal Highness Seven, since you left the palace and went to the south, Niangniang can't eat well every day, and she can't sleep well, she is only worried about the safety of Her Highness. ”

"There are no outsiders here, and I don't know who I said this to." Gao Lang tugged at the corners of his mouth.
