Ji Lianmei said, taking the lead in closing her eyes.

After Ji Yucheng closed his eyes, he secretly squinted at the girl beside him.

The candle flame reflected her delicate face, her long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her pink lips were rippling with a smile, and her face was full of happiness.

"Then I'll count three times and put it together. Three, two, one. ”

The moment the Kong Ming lantern flew out, Ji Lian Meifang wanted to open her eyes, but she felt something soft and cool on her lips. What greeted him was the young man's half-closed dark eyes and delicate eyebrows, and the breeze swept his long, scattered black hair, which made Ji Lianmei feel that this was a kiss from heaven from the sky that had fallen to the mortal dust.

"You ......" Ji Lianmei was about to say something, but was gently touched by a hand on the top of her head.

Kong Ming lanterns flew away like winged birds, but Ji Yucheng would not tell her that on the other side of Kong Ming lanterns, he wrote: I love the picturesque country, and I also covet the beauty of the country.

The touch of understatement made Ji Lianmei's heart beat more than once.

It turns out that the lips are close to each other, and the brain seems to stop working, and the warm touch between the lips becomes more acute.

"Ji Yucheng, your identity is not simple, right?" Ji Lianmei looked at the slowly rising Kong Ming lantern and asked Ji Yucheng like this.

Fang Cai's kiss made her lose her square inch, and she only felt restless for a while, and this question that had been pressed in her heart for a long time couldn't help but blurt out.

Ji Yucheng was not surprised at all, and Ji Lianmei would ask such a question. After all, although this little woman is simple, she is not stupid at all.

"Although you are modest, your gestures are very calm, not like the bearing of an ordinary person. You don't have power or power, but I've seen the statecraft you've written, and while I don't understand much, most of them are quite reasonable. ”

After all, a person's appearance and clothing can be changed, but it is very difficult to change the temperament and character that a person has maintained for more than ten years. Now the relationship with her is getting better and better, and her true nature is gradually beginning to be exposed.

"Princess, I'm ......."

"Actually, it's okay if you don't want to tell me," Ji Lianmei looked at him with a slight flush on her cheeks, "Because like you, I also have an identity that I don't want others to know." ”

"It's okay, I won't ask you this question anymore, as long as you treat me well, I can treat you as family, trust you, and care about you, okay?"

Ji Yucheng pulled out a bitter smile. Stupid, I'm not a good person, I want it, but your life......

"Okay."

"Then we'll settle it, but you can't lie to me, I hate people lying the most."

Yes, just like Mom, she always said that Dad would come to us, but twenty-four years later, this man still hasn't appeared.

Ji Yucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Ji Lianmei smiled and hooked his little thumb, thumbs facing each other, and said, "Let's pull the hook, after the hook, you can never regret it." ”

"Retractor?"

"Hmm...... It's a kind of testimony of commitment. ”

The Lantern Festival is almost over, so let's go back. ”

Ji Yu admitted that she really sensed the temperature of this hand, it was warm and sincere. There was even a moment when he wanted to tell her all the plans.

Hai time, bamboo forest ink courtyard.

Ji Yucheng returned to the study, and in front of the sandalwood table in the purple night, a man wearing a cloak and a mask was sitting.

"Cheng'er, are you back?" The voice is old, calm, and cold and majestic.

"Master." Ji Yucheng naturally knelt down and saluted, "I don't know what happened when the master suddenly visited." ”

The man slapped the table and shouted, "You really don't know why I'm here? You almost revealed your identity to that princess of Liu Guo today! She is an important pawn in our realization of interests, when did you become so reckless. Mo is not.... You. Got in love with her? ”

"Shizun is angry, Cheng'er doesn't dare."

The mysterious man stood up and helped Ji Yucheng up, sighed lightly, and said:

"Cheng'er, it's not that the master is embarrassed for you, although you are talented and intelligent, and you are still too benevolent to women. In the future, we need to be more arbitrary, and those who stand in the way of our great cause of rejuvenating the country will be killed. You live with Princess Liu Guo, and it is normal for her to see something strange. But in the future, you must be more and more cautious in your dealings with the people in the palace. They are by no means such simple little girls, but jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

"Yes, Master, Cheng'er remembered."

"It's good that you understand, the teacher has gradually replaced the people in your mansion with ours, so you can do things with confidence. You have always been thoughtful and believe in your talents. It's not early, so Cheng'er should rest early. The mysterious man left these words, and then floated away like a ghost.

Xiao Yige came out of the shadows and asked, "Your Highness, you are indeed a little reckless today, this is not quite like you." ”

"Huh, huh?"

Ji Yucheng opened the window, the moonlight was very good tonight, and he remembered the girl's warm lips and shy face.

"Situ, you have been with me for the longest time, and I have some heartfelt words, and I want to talk to you too. Maybe you are indifferent by nature, or maybe you haven't fallen in love with anyone, so you don't understand that if you like someone, you will be unconsciously changed by her. ”

He admits that he is emotional, and he will not deliberately hide this emotion. Because the more you want to hide the emotion, the more it lingers.

"What does Your Highness mean...... Are you in love with Princess Liu Guo? However, Princess Liu Guo is just a bait thrown by Emperor Liu, and for you, her use value is only temporary, so why do you like her? ”

Ji Yucheng smiled and shook his head.

Maybe it's because she stood up for him when she first arrived, maybe it's because she's different from the world's freshness, maybe it's because she loves and hates clearly, and it's simple. All in all, she was the person he wanted to be but could never be. This kind of thing seems to be fixed from the moment everyone is born, and people like him seem to be born lonely and indifferent, and they don't deserve to have a simple and happy life for ordinary people.

Perhaps, this is the reason to like her, and it has nothing to do with interests. All the imaginable beauty in my heart is gathered together, and it is the appearance of the person I like.

However, emotions will never be an obstacle to his plans, and even in the face of the moment of killing her, he will never be merciful because of his children's private feelings.

Liu's armaments are gradually expanding, and the hidden strength of the mother country's troops is also becoming stronger and stronger, and it seems that at the birthday banquet of King Wu, someone is about to start making a move.

King Wu's birthday is approaching. According to the rules of the Wuyue court, the princes must prepare a birthday gift to show their filial piety.

Ji Yucheng was writing birthday greetings in the study, while Ji Lianmei sat quietly on the side to study ink for him, yawning sleepily from time to time.

"Ji Yucheng, what do you want to prepare for this birthday gift?" , Ji Lianmei rubbed her wrist that was a little sour and said.

"I don't know."

"Don't know? How can this be done, if the birthday gift you give this time pleases the old man, maybe he will give you some power, and you will not sit in this study every day to deal with these chores. ”

Ji Yucheng smiled: "Leisurely, what's wrong." ”

"That'....... How about you leave the birthday gift to me? Ji Lianmei said.

"Huh? What the hell is the princess trying to do again? ”

"Anyway, he is also my father, and he always has to do some filial piety. Besides, this is my first year of marriage, so I naturally can't help but do my part. Ji Lianmei had a coquettish tone, avoiding the gaze cast by Ji Yucheng.

Ji Yucheng stopped writing, brushed his sleeves, leaned slightly against the table, and a pair of deep eyes with a gentle smile.

"In this case, it will be a nuisance to the princess."

"Well, I'll get ready." Ji Lianmei jumped up and ran happily in the direction of the Liulan Palace.

For Ji Lianmei, the days of being a princess are really boring, and if she doesn't have some fun, she will suffocate to death. Those things that have not yet appeared in this era will definitely stand out in the birthday gift.

But what should be done to be different and pleasing to King Wu? Ji Lianmei only knows that King Wu is a good flower, but how can an ordinary flower emperor Lao Er look at it.

Hey...... Pregnant.

"Zizhi, you can find some charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter, and all kinds of metal powder for me." Ji Lianmei happily called Zizhi and said to her.

Zizhi had heard about Ji Lianmei's intention to handle King Wu's birthday ceremony, and she was very curious, how could these things that ordinary people used for medicine and firewood be used as King Wu's birthday gifts.

"Princess, what are you going to do here?"

"Hee-hee, have you ever heard of fireworks? ....”

The next day, it was the birthday of King Wu, and the princes all entered the palace early.

Hundreds of birds and phoenix clothes, the night pearl of the East China Sea, all kinds of precious birthday gifts are presented in jade boxes, and they are displayed to King Wu one by one. Both the princes and ministers and the sons of nobles recited long greetings.

Listening to this pile of birthday greetings with an obvious flattering nature, Ji Lianmei couldn't help but feel irritable, but she had no choice but to stay by Ji Yucheng's side obediently and complain in a low voice.

The birthday gift presented by Ji Jingchen is a colorful glazed peony. Natural glaze was very rare at that time, and such a small plant was very valuable.

"It's still dusty that understands my heart." Wu Jinggong was overjoyed, clapping his hands and praising him.

"As long as my father is happy, what is a glass peony in this mere place, and all the treasures in the treasure house of the sons and daughters can be dedicated to my father."

His sweet words of the flirtatious girl are now not embarrassed when they are spoken to his father.

"Ascend to the disciples." Ji Lianmei scolded him in a low voice.

All the princes have presented their birthday gifts, and they are almost married.

"Cheng'er, what birthday gift do you have for me?" King Wu asked.

Ji Yucheng knelt down and saluted, and said to King Wu: "Father, Yucheng is incompetent, and there is no treasure to offer, but he just wrote some congratulations, and the birthday ceremony was handled by the princess." Please don't blame your father. ”
