The next morning, Zhao Qi sent officers and soldiers to investigate, but the murderer was caught in one noon, and the case of Luo Chuan was closed.

Ji Lianmei thought to herself: To get rid of suspicion so quickly, Xiao Yige must have helped a lot from it. Naturally, I'm going to thank him.

Ji Lianmei knew that Xiao Yige would lead the guards to inspect the palace at noon, so she waited in the garden early.

Waiting left and right, seeing that the sun was about to set, I didn't even see Xiao Yige's shadow.

Ji Lianmei asked, "Hey, Zizhi, why didn't you see Xiao Guards inspecting the palace today." ”

"Your Highness Princess, haven't you heard? The battle ahead is urgent, and the head of the guard Xiao was sent to the front line by the prince, at this time, he should be in front of the palace. ”

Ji Lianmei was stunned for a moment, and then ran towards the gate of the palace like an arrow off the bow.

At this time, Xiao Yige was already dressed in black armor, like a tree with Qiongzhi, planted in the white water of Black Mountain, pure and artesian, revealing a glass-like brilliance for life.

"General, it's almost time." The attendant reminded him.

"Well, the whole team, let's go." Xiao Yige commanded lightly.

When Ji Lianmei arrived, Xiao Yige was no longer visible. The young man's clear face was still clear, and the sudden difference was so unprepared.

It was the first time I saw it, the young man in black robe and silver sword, and Yuxiao flute, before I determined my mind, you were already in black armor and set out to fight far away.

After Xiao Yige left, Ji Lianmei returned to her dormitory like a wandering spirit.

"Lord, the princess hasn't eaten for a day, is she sick? Do you need me to send Lang Zhong to take a look? The chief in charge of housekeeping told Ji Yucheng.

"It's okay, let her go." Ji Yucheng handed him the silk slip written by Fang, "Send this thing and tell that person that the chess pieces have been played, just press still." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go." The chief manager said goodbye to Ji Yucheng and left in a hurry.

Everyone else left, Ji Yucheng picked up the pen and wanted to write something, slowly put down the pen, put on the coat, and walked to the Liulan Hall where Ji Lianmei lived.

In the past, Ji Lianmei felt that it was awkward for the two to be in the same room, so she moved to another courtyard alone.

At this time, Ji Lianmei was sitting on the stone bench, looking at the flowing water in front of her in a daze. Ji Yucheng walked up to her and sat down, smiled lightly, and said:

"Is the princess blaming me for sending Xiao Yige away?"

Ji Lianmei shook her head, raised her sparkling eyes, looked at him, and said, "I don't blame you, I'm just blaming myself." "Oh? The princess's words really surprised me. ”

"I'm thinking, I'm married to you, how can I have thoughts about other boys that I shouldn't have, I'm sorry, and I don't know how to face you."

Although now in ancient times, men have three palaces and six courts, and it is normal for a high-ranking and powerful woman to raise a male pet, but Ji Lianmei still can't go against her heart and calmly do something sorry for the other half.

"The princess likes Xiao Guard?"

Ji Lianmei shook her head and replied honestly: "Maybe it's because on the way to Heqin, he was the first person to care for me, and I am very grateful to him, but whether this feeling is so-called liking, I don't know." ”

Ji Yucheng smiled, walked to the table next to him and sat down, and plucked the strings lightly with his slender hand, flowing out a wonderful music.

Ji Lianmei turned her head when she heard the voice, the young man under the moon was dressed in a white gauze robe, revealing a graceful neck and a clearly visible collarbone, the skirt was pleated, like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, three thousand green silks were scattered, and his eyes were not stained with dust, but there was a deep and stable feeling.

"Princess, even if you can't be sure, why bother thinking too yourself. The marriage between you and me is the need of the government, so even if the princess has someone else she likes, it is not the princess's fault. ”

He played the spring and white snow in one hand smartly, and Ji Lianmei couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

"Hey, Ji Yucheng, you really don't look like an ordinary person at all."

The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth became more and more profound, "What does the princess think I look like?" ”

"I can't tell."

His identity must not be simple. But if she is a person with bad intentions, how can she be so clumsy in her acting skills that even she can see the strangeness?

That's it, born in troubled times, everyone has something unspeakable.

"The poem of this piece of Fang Cai was written by yourself."

"Yes, in front of the princess." Ji Yu Cheng smiled modestly.

Although I couldn't understand what he was chanting just now, it sounded like it was very powerful, and Ji Lianmei couldn't help asking, "Since you are so talented, why don't you go to the imperial examination to get a jinshi?" ”

"Imperial examinations? What is the imperial examination? ”

Oh, I almost forgot that the patriarchal system was still practiced in this era, and the eunuchs were all blood relatives of His Majesty, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wen of Sui that talents were gradually selected in the form of imperial examinations.

"Oh, this is....... The idea of a certain immortal, he thought that if he could recruit talents from all over the world in the form of examinations, no matter whether he was high or low, he could enter the court as an official and assist the king through this move. ”

Ji Lianmei really regretted that she didn't study history well at the beginning, and almost lost face in front of the ancients.

"This is a good idea, now that a hundred schools of thought are contending, if this system is implemented, it is also a good way to govern the country and level the world, but in this way, the students' thinking is too stereotyped, and after all, there are pros and cons." He smiled and analyzed it carefully as he played the piano.

Ji Lianmei looked at him blankly, the history teacher seemed to say this, you are an ancient person, you must know too much.

Seeing her surprised and dazed, Ji Yucheng couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, princess," he replied, as he pulled out a small box of rosewood from his cuff, containing a string of Bodhi beads.

"I was thinking that since the princess gave me a personal thing to my guard, then I naturally have to give him back the princess's thing."

He took the girl's hand, gently lifted the wide sleeves, wrapped the beads around Hao's wrist, and said silently: "The fragrance of heaven opens jasmine, and the Brahma tree falls Bodhi." The princess has a different heart and is different from the world, may this Bodhi string make you all well. ”

Raising his eyes, facing the eyes as bright as stars, Ji Yucheng's heart beat violently, and he was originally holding the girl's hand leisurely, but at this time there was nowhere to put it in a panic.

"It's getting late, princess, please rest early." In order to hide the panic of that minute, Ji Yu owed and left.

"Something's wrong, so in such a hurry." Ji Lianmei looked at the Bodhi string that shone brightly in the moonlight, and her mood was much brighter.

Xiao Yige, I think I'll forget you.

The kings of Wuyue in the past dynasties are all good flowers, and a lantern festival will be held before each birthday banquet, may the gods bless the prosperity of the country and the peace of the country. However, because King Wu's birthday happened to be the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the Magpie Bridge, this custom has also become a festival for men and women to convey their affection to each other.

The man can take the lantern for the woman by guessing the riddle as a way to show his heart. If the woman is willing to accept it, then the lovers can be blessed by His Majesty and the Buddha and grow old together.

Ji Lianmei, who is from another degree, has never had a Lantern Festival, and thought: "This ancient person is really subtle, unlike our era, they all said it directly." But it's quite interesting to confess in this way. ”

"Yuruo, you said this Lantern Festival, can I go?" Ji Lianmei asked the maid who was on the side and mentioned the matter to her.

"Princess, if you have the permission of the prince, then you must be able to go. The slave has never been to the Lantern Festival, if you go out, can you take the slave with you? "Yuruo is still a little girl who has not yet reached the general corner, she is lively and clever, she looks cute, and sometimes she will say some arrogant things. Ji Lianmei liked her upright temperament very much, so she transferred her from the internal affairs department to her side.

"Just your head," Ji Lianmei nodded her little head and said, "Let's go, let's go find Ji Yucheng." ”

Lantern Festival....... It should be our Tanabata at that time.

"Ji Yucheng, Ji Yucheng, I have something to tell you." Ji Lianmei excitedly walked around the inner courtyard, shouting as she walked.

The inner courtyard where Yu Cheng lives is called Feng Ya Ge, surrounded by bamboo, quiet and quiet. The main hall is faintly among the lush bamboo leaves, which has a unique flavor. Although her shout was not loud, it still startled the birds in the woods.

Ji Yucheng raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Ji Lianmei walking in, raised his right hand slightly, put down the brush, smiled and nodded to Ji Lianmei: "Princess." ”

"Ji Yucheng, I want to go to the Lantern Festival, is it okay?" Ji Lianmei looked at him pitifully.

"I'm sorry, princess, no."

Ji Lian Meiwan didn't expect him to refuse, and asked, "Why?" ”

"Last time, it was obvious that someone was eyeing Her Royal Highness the princess, this time you go out again, for fear that something will happen, so I won't let you out of the house."

There was always a faint smile on his face, but his attitude was very resolute, and Ji Lianmei knew that he would not give in no matter what, so he had to walk out stupidly.

"Hmph, if this is my eldest princess's mansion, I'll see who dares to stop me."

"Princess, the prince is also thinking about you." Yuruo said to her.

Since the last time he entered the palace, Ji Yucheng began to learn to take care of the affairs of the house, and he no longer nested in the garden all day. There is a hint of a smile on his lips when he meets people, and he looks very easy-going, but he is as unpredictable as a secluded pool.

Although this ancient life is full of fine clothes and food, food and clothing, and there are beautiful scenery to enjoy every day, there are too few entertainment activities for people to play, and it is not easy to catch up with the Lantern Festival, but they can't go out yet.

Ah, but I really want to go see this lantern festival. Ji Lianmei said regretfully.

"That, princess, or we ......" Yuruo saw that there was no one around, and leaned into Ji Lianmei's ear and said, "Let's sneak out." ”

Ji Lianmei's eyes lit up, "Xiao Yuruo, you are really my bosom friend." ”
