Chapter 9: The Tribulation

After dinner, Ji Lianmei took Zizhi and the waiters, and Tong Yuruo quietly changed into men's clothes. Ji Lianmei, who is dressed in men's clothes, has a soft and handsome feeling.

When she was in high school, Ji Lianmei also did a lot of skipping classes over the wall, although the wall of the palace was slightly higher than the school, but it was a piece of cake for her to climb over.

After bypassing the patrolling guards, Ji Lianmei and Yuruo successfully "escaped".

"Ah....... Free air. If it rains, where is the Lantern Festival held? Ji Lianmei stretched out comfortably, breathing in the fresh air of ancient times.

"Princess, on the south bank of Huaishui, I heard that today, there will be a lot of Miaolangjun."

"You look like a nymphomaniac." Ji Lianmei smiled.

Now that I am swinging around so slowly, I find that Gusu is so prosperous, and there are blonde and blue-eyed foreign trade merchants on the street. Ji Lianmei's heart was hot, and she began to show her level 4 English to Yuruo, and talked happily with the foreigner.

"Wow, Princess, you still know foreign languages." Yuruo looked at her adoringly.

"Average." Ji Lianmei smiled smugly, "We're almost there." ”

"Yes, princess, there is the Huai River ahead."

Huaishui River....... It has always been said: the Huai River is on the right track, the cloud ladder is smooth, and the north and south branches of the river are in order. The women on the banks of the Huaishui River are gentle and lingering, and the Lang Jun is elegant and polite, I don't know if I will meet interesting people on this trip?

Gusu deserves to be the capital of a country, and the scale of the Lantern Festival is also grand.

The streets are full of glazed colorful lanterns, collecting all the auspicious clouds and five-colored glowing dazzling, as if the stars have descended into the world. Thousands of postures, generous and glorious.

Ji Lianmei couldn't help but sigh: "It's really prosperous, and the beautiful scenery is all over." ”

"Princess, won't Liu Guo hold a lantern festival?"

"Well, most of the Lang'er over there are rough and don't like these pretentious things. I see, you're a lot more interesting on this side. ”

Ji Lianmei walked under the lamp, and suddenly a group of girls surrounded her, and there seemed to be a man in the middle. The man on the other side laughed uncontrollably, even duffling the screams of the girls.

"Hey, Yuruo, what's going on over there?" Ji Lianmei asked.

"Princess, I think that the man is a handsome and beautiful man, so many girls are vying to take the initiative to ask him for lanterns. Some people will give lanterns to these beautiful men. ”

It's not uncommon for her to chase back, but it's the first time I've seen such a big scene.

"Let's go, Yuruo, let's go take a look."

Ji Lianmei has always loved to join in the fun, and she just wanted to see which Miaolangjun was so popular with girls. But the closer he got, the more familiar the man's face became.

The man laughed and shouted:

"Don't worry, girls, everyone has a share, everyone has a share."

The voice is crisp and the lips are rippling with a dazzling smile.

It turned out to be the prince who molested him in the palace that day.

"Why is he ......" Ji Lianmei frowned slightly. At this time, Ji Jingchen also seemed to see her, squeezed over with a smile, and asked in a frivolous tone: "What's the matter, the princess of the younger brother also came to ask for the king's lantern?" ”

Ji Lianmei knew the meaning of the lanterns, and said to him sneeringly: "His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't care about the government, but he came to play at this Lantern Festival. Looking at this scene, it is quite popular with the girls. ”

"What's the matter, the little fox is jealous?" Ji Jingchen stretched out her slender fingers to hook her chin, and a hint of evil flashed in her peach blossom eyes.

"Who is this, how could His Royal Highness King Yan treat her like this."

The girls gathered around exploded.

"It's inconvenient to talk here, let's change places." Ji Jingchen picked her up like a chicken, and with a light touch under her feet, she flew up like this.

"Hey, Dengzi, let go of my princess." Yuruo shouted at the sky. However, Ji Jingchen's light skills are like a horse stepping on a flying swallow, how can she be caught up by a weak little girl.

The two flew all the way to the wall, and finally landed on the bank of the Huaishui River.

"Alright, it's quiet here, no one will bother us." Ji Jingchen whistled briskly and said to Ji Lianmei.

"Why does His Royal Highness King Yan want to hold me hostage, I don't have any use value."

"Hehe, who saw that this king is holding you hostage? This king is just looking at you for fun, and talking to you. Ji Jingchen naturally sat down on the stone by the river, "You have such a spicy and tricky appearance, that royal brother is bullied by you a lot on weekdays." You don't look like a princess at all, like a little fox. ”

"I don't look like a prince when I look at you, but like a disciple wandering through the flowers."

"You're pretty outspoken. Still, I like women like you. Ji Jingchen put the lanterns in his hand into the river one by one.

"Although you were born into a royal family, you are different from us princes. Although my father established the eldest son as the crown prince early, the prince will still try his best to exclude dissidents, if I don't be unruly and stationed at the border, I must have died many times. Ji Jingchen looked at the lanterns washed away by the river and sighed.

"I think it would be nice if I were a common man, ploughing the fields and doing work, and finding someone I love to stay with for the rest of my life. Unlike now, the biggest enemy is his brother, and the person next to the pillow is an emotionless stranger, such a Yan King, just don't do it. ”

Ji Lianmei looked at his somewhat lonely back, and suddenly felt that the frivolous prince in front of her was not as annoying as she imagined.

Moreover, the ideas are quite avant-garde. If I lived in my era of free love, I would probably be a good man.

Ji Lianmei wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but her hand was about to put her hand on his shoulder, but she was stopped by a white hand from the oblique sideways.

"Your Royal Highness, what is this doing?"

Ji Lianmei's gaze gradually moved to that direction. Long fingers, plain white clothes, and a delicate face that blooms against the light of the moon.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard Zizhi say that you sneaked out, so I came to look for you with the guards." Ji Yucheng said this to Ji Lianmei, but his eyes stayed on Ji Jingchen.

"Isn't this Brother Wang? Don't come unharmed, I heard that Brother Wang is accompanied by flowers and plants every day, and he is very idle. Unlike me, there are so many official documents to deal with, and it is really boring. ”

"The second brother said that he laughed, and Yucheng thanked Brother Wang for finding my princess, otherwise I don't know where she would go."

"Brother Wang is polite. Hey, little fox, how about playing with this king? Ji Yutuo ignored Ji Yucheng and said to Ji Lianmei.

"Don't bother Brother Wang, Brother Wang will take care of my princess, you better go and play with those girls." Ji Yucheng said, not forgetting to hug Ji Lianmei over and let her put her head on her chest.

The atmosphere around these two men is weird, although the two of them are calm, but there is indescribable tension.

Through a thin layer of clothing, Ji Lianmei heard a steady and powerful heartbeat. Look up at this handsome and elegant young man again, his face is delicate, his eyes are deep, his originally delicate facial features have become more angular, and his overly humble temperament seems to have faded.

"Since Brother Wang is here, the king has taken the first step. See you next time, little fox. Ji Jingchen walked away with light work.

"I'm not going to play with you." Ji Lianmei stepped forward and stuck out her tongue in the direction he left.

When she turned around, she saw Ji Yucheng's slightly angry face.

"Ji Lianmei, don't you know how many pairs of eyes will be staring at you after you get married? If Xiao Yige hadn't arrived in time last time, you might have died! Ji Yucheng grabbed her arm, and there was no anger in her words, and her title changed

Xu is hand was too heavy, Ji Lianmei twisted her arms, and her two thin eyebrows were twisted slightly.

Ji Yucheng realized that he had just lost his temper, so he hurriedly let go of her, took a step back, and said:

"Princess, I was abrupt."

Ji Lianmei rubbed her arm and said, "You hurt me, you want me to forgive you so easily." ”

"What does the princess think?"

"Hehe, then you can go play with me, if you play with me, I will forgive you, how about it?" Ji Lianmei said this, and unconsciously took Ji Yucheng's hand, like a coquettish child.

Ji Yucheng shallow and said softly: "Then according to what the princess said." ”

This time, the streets were completely lively, and men and women came and went with lanterns in their hands and smiling faces.

"Come with me, don't get separated." Ji Yucheng took Ji Lianmei's hand.

"Okay."

The Huaishui River is covered with dotted lanterns, and the treetops are also hung with colorful lanterns, this dreamlike scene can't help but remind Ji Lianmei of the Lantern Festival, and go to the river with her relatives to put Kong Ming lanterns.

Seeing her in a daze, Ji Yucheng asked, "The princess wants lanterns." ”

"Ji Yucheng, can you accompany me to put the Kong Ming lantern?" Ji Lianmei stared at the river and said casually.

"Kong Ming lantern, isn't this thing used by Mr. Wolong to get out of trouble tactically, what do you want that thing to do?"

"In my hometown, it was a custom to put Kong Ming lanterns to pray for blessings, but it was banned soon after, and I haven't put Kong Ming lanterns for a long time."

Ji Yucheng was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Since the princess wants to let it go, then I will accompany the princess." ”

The two of them prepared materials and went to the bottom of the bridge.

"Ji Yucheng, don't forget to write your wishes on it." Ji Lianmei didn't forget to remind him like this while writing.

Ji Yucheng smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Ji Lianmei wrote on it: I hope I can go back soon. After writing it, she went to peek at Ji Yucheng's again. He didn't dodge, letting her peek.

I saw Kong Ming Lantern writing: Guotai and Min'an.

Ji Lianmei sighed in disappointment and said, "What kind of wish do you have, why don't you write something related to yourself." ”

"National security, people's wealth, and peace in the world are indeed my greatest wishes."

"If you are a king, you must be a wise king." Ji Lianmei said.

Candles were lit in the lamp, and both men stood up. "Remember, close your eyes and pray sincerely, or your wish will not work."
