In the early morning of the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Yancheng, Jinyan Inn.

Di Jinxuan stood in the private room of the inn in an ice blue robe, and he watched Ji Qingge take the box containing pills to Liu Yujing before carrying her downstairs.

As soon as they walked out of the hall of the inn, they met the people of Yancheng who had come to see them off. No matter what gifts the people gave, Di Jinxuan did not accept them.

When riding out of the city, Ji Qingge could still see those people standing on the side of the ancient road.

Ji Qingge stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and asked softly, "Husband, are you in such a hurry to return to the palace, are you ......?"

"Food and charcoal have been delivered, and houses have been built for them. Seeing that the villagers have moved into a spacious new home, they can celebrate the New Year at home. The king will be able to leave with peace of mind. ”

Di Jinxuan tightened the reins, rubbed his chin against the forehead of Princess Xiao in his arms, and said gently.

"That's just as well."

The veiled Ji Qingge turned his head to look at the carriage not far behind him, as well as the soldiers of the Qi army who followed behind the carriage. I couldn't help but sigh

"At the beginning, Wang Ye and General Yan led nearly 2,000 Qi troops south. After they took away a batch, the Qi army that followed the prince back was nearly a thousand people. ”

"Hmm."

Di Jinxuan bowed slightly, and said, "Those horses pulling the carriage are not burdened by grain and charcoal, and they are dressed lightly. It's running fast.

At this rate, within thirteen days, he will definitely be able to return to the imperial city. ”

"Not motivated."

Ji Qingge snorted lightly and said, "You should talk less about time, such as twelve days, eleven days!" ”

"You give them wings? Is. ”

After all, it is a horse running on the ground, and it is not a carrier pigeon flying in the sky, can it be so anxious?

A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and Di Jinxuan said lightly, "If the Xiyue Dynasty has the plane you drew for this king to show last time, then it will be much more convenient for this king to take you home." ”

"High-speed rail is also convenient."

Ji Qingge was slightly stunned, and carefully recalled the four words he just said, "Take you home". In an instant, a warm current rose from the bottom of my heart and soon spread to my whole body.

Even though the howling cold wind whined the trees on both sides, she didn't feel the cold.

Home, he took her home.

She leaned her head on his warm chest and muttered, "I'll go home with my husband and have a reunion." ”

After thirteen days of galloping in the snow, Ji Qingge finally arrived in the imperial city.

As soon as he passed the city gate, Ji Qingge heard a burst of melodious music. The entire imperial city is enveloped in a festive atmosphere, and it is lit up everywhere.

But when I rode through West Street, I didn't see many pedestrians.

Ji Qingge inevitably wondered in his heart that it was going to be the New Year, why didn't anyone come to West Street to hang out? If it's cold on weekdays, that's fine. But today, it's a beautiful sunny day.

Although there is a cold wind blowing on your face, you can also enjoy the warm winter sun. Riding a horse past West Street, when she passed the money village, she subconsciously looked towards the store.

Seeing that the door of the store was closed, he complained softly, "I thought it was ......"

"Money junkies."

Di Jinxuan not only smiled faintly, but said, "It's the New Year, shouldn't you give them a few days to rest?" ”

"Yes, that is."

It's just that I haven't checked the account books for a few days, and I just want to know the profitability of the bank. Ji Qingge smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not an unsympathetic person, how can I be so picky?" ”

The shadow chasing war horse moved forward steadily, and after a while, he came to Jinghu Yiyuan Restaurant.

I saw a lot of red lanterns hanging outside the restaurant, and there were special forbidden soldiers guarding the door.

Seeing this scene, Ji Qingge couldn't help but ask Di Jinxuan curiously, "What is a good day today, why is this restaurant guarded by the forbidden army?" ”

"It's a good day for King Yan to choose a side concubine."

The corners of Di Jinxuan's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, and said, "Whether your sister can become Wei Zifu or not is up to here." ”

"Why, she is pregnant with King Yan's child, and she can't compete with others fairly?" Ji Qingge "tsk, tsk" twice, shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"The previous recruitment meeting was scheduled to be held in Shengjing City. However, King Yan was worried that Yan Xiyun would not be able to travel long distances, so he asked his father to place the location of the recruitment meeting in the imperial city. ”

"Hmm."

Ji Qingge nodded slightly and asked, "What do you mean, is my father minding that my sister has been a singer?" The purpose of holding this meeting is to tell the world that ......"

But can Yan Xiyun accept this kind of hard work?

Can King Yan allow it?

"Naturally, it can't." A hint of cunning flashed in Di Jinxuan's eyes, "But Yu Keqing is the daughter of the Taiwei after all, and if she doesn't make a mistake, King Yan will make other women concubines."

You have to give an explanation to the people of the world, don't you? ”

With curiosity, Ji Qingge entered the Baguio Palace and gave the queen mother a pill. changed his appearance, changed into men's clothes and walked to Jinghu Yiyuan Restaurant.

Because the restaurant was guarded by the forbidden army, she had to watch from the periphery.

I saw two beautiful women standing not far away, as if they had just come out of the restaurant.

"When I came out of the house, my father asked me to play the piano without selfish thoughts. Because Lord Yan's favorite person knows the rhythm of music, if it is exposed, there is no hope. ”

A woman dressed in purple said with some frustration.

"Isn't it? My mother also said the same, saying that only by playing soothing tunes can it be accepted by Lord Yan. And I guess I did it, and he didn't even look at me. ”

The woman in pink who walked beside the woman in purple, a trace of sadness passed through her eyes, and said.

"Don't be sad. Not being selected by Lord Yan this time is not necessarily a bad thing. The corners of the purple-clothed woman's lips curled up with a sour arc, and she said

"I heard that Princess Yan has been in the palace for six or seven years, and she has no heirs. On the contrary, it is the one who is good at Lord Yan and is already pregnant. ”

"Huh?"

The woman in pink looked at the woman in purple with a stunned face, the boss with her mouth open, and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"It's a shame that you still live on Jingning Street, and you don't even know about it." The woman in purple leaned closer to the ear of the woman in pink and only said "......"

The voice was a little light, so that Ji Qingge couldn't hear it clearly.

I saw the woman in pink asking, "Listen to what you mean, is Lord Yan good now, and is he a relative of Princess Xiao?" ”

"Exactly."

The woman in purple nodded, and said, "I heard that Princess Yan didn't treat Princess Xiao very well before, but now that there is such a relationship, the two of them will definitely not be able to get along harmoniously." ”

"The more they fight, the better it will be for you and me."

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the woman in pink and said.

"How do you get in?" The woman in purple was puzzled.

"Do you need to ask?"

The woman in pink snorted lightly and looked in the direction of the palace. said confidently, "In our Jing'an City, almost all the women who can participate in the recruitment conference are famous ladies." ”

"That's it."

"How many of the women who came to the recruitment conference today have never seen Prince Xiao?"

"I want to ...... Except for Princess Xiao who was locked up in the firewood room, there shouldn't be many fools. ”

As soon as he heard the words of the woman in purple, Ji Qingge clenched his fists fiercely. Who is she recruiting? also became the target of the attack behind the back of the two unsuccessful women.

"But Prince Xiao likes that fool, even an impeccable woman like the county lord of Xiyao lost to a fool."

The woman in pink let out a long sigh and said.

"That's why I hope that Princess Yan and Princess Xiao will fight fiercely. Whether they die or are injured, it is a blessing in life for you and me. The woman in purple gloated.
