Before meeting the Four Princes, Ji Qingge had only heard Huiyun mention him. said that the fourth prince Di Jinxi was only ten days younger than Di Jinxuan, and he was raised by the queen's mother.

Because of Emperor Jinxi's mother, Concubine Liu, died very early.

The queen treats Emperor Jinxi well and treats her as her own.

As Di Jinxi's third brother, Di Jinxuan also trusts Di Jinxi. As early as the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, Di Jinxuan also took Di Jinxi and Yan Fengxing to attack the enemy camp at night.

I saw that Di Jinxuan took Di Jinxi to the brazier and sat down, and then came to Ji Qingge's side and introduced her: "Concubine Ai, this is the fourth brother of this king, who has just returned to the palace. ”

"Fourth brother is good."

Ji Qingge smiled with a reserved smile and greeted the Fourth Prince, Emperor Jinxi.

His gaze quickly swept over Di Jinxi's handsome and abnormal face, and he saw that his slender peach blossom eyes showed a hint of joy, not as sharp as Di Jinxuan's eyes.

Di Jinxi didn't expect that the beautiful woman in front of him turned out to be his third sister-in-law.

Before that, he only heard his mother say that General Ji's orphans hadn't shown their faces for six years. Where the woman is, and why her relatives hide it from outsiders, are all questions worth investigating.

For this reason, Yun Wanning sneaked into the Ji Mansion to inquire about the news.

Di Jinxi also went to Yancheng and secretly investigated some things about the Ji family. The final result is the same as what Yan Li said: Ji Qingge has not returned to his hometown in Yancheng at all in the six years since General Ji's death.

"Hello sister-in-law."

He smiled as his thin lips furled.

"Fourth brother, please take a seat."

After Xuanji served tea to Emperor Jinxi, Ji Qingge said with an elegant smile.

Di Jinxi took the exquisite small box he brought with both hands to Ji Qingge, and said, "The third brother and the third sister-in-law got married, and the younger brother and the seventeenth imperial uncle met old friends in Xiliang, but they couldn't come to congratulate. If it is not thoughtful, I also invite the third brother and the third sister-in-law to do a lot of Haihan.

This is a thin gift prepared by the younger brother, not a tribute, and the third sister-in-law is invited to accept it with a smile. ”

"Thank you, fourth brother."

Ji Qingge took it with both hands and handed it to Xuanji. took a small black box from Xuanji's hand and returned a gift to Di Jinxi.

"It's good that the fourth brother is here, why bother to see outside?" Di Jinxuan motioned for Di Jinxi to sit down and said.

While Di Jinxuan and Di Jinxi were talking, Ji Qingge was also thinking about how to go to Yan's Mansion a year ago and give Yan Li a big gift.

Although Yan Li is only a distant relative of the original owner, it is better to have a relative than nothing. And all the gifts she prepared when she entered the palace were all given to her by Aunt Liu by Yan Li.

That's a lot of money.

In particular, the fox fur given to the queen is said to be priceless.

Ji Qingge thought to himself that Yan Li could give her the noble items and let her give them to the queen and others after entering the palace. It can be seen that in addition to being generous, Yan Li also treats her as a close relative.

In this way, she has to repay the Yan family well.

"Third brother, when I went back to the palace, I saw Yan Fengxing." Di Jinxi said after putting down the teacup.

"He's back in town?"

A touch of joy swept over Di Jinxuan's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Fourth brother, go out of the palace with my brother in the afternoon?" ”

"Third brother, the queen mother is still waiting for her brother to bring back the pills. Or, another day? Di Jinxi's face was a little embarrassed, and she persuaded: "The third brother has just gotten married, so let's accompany the third sister-in-law more." ”

"When I leave the palace, I want to take your third sister-in-law with me."

Di Jinxuan glanced at Ji Qingge and said proudly: "In the future, no matter where this king goes, I will take this king's princess with me." ”

The words of the Demon Prince's creditor sounded as if he still liked her more. But in reality? Ji Qingge thought to himself, if he didn't point to her to prepare pills for his mother, I'm afraid that he might not be able to say nice things, right?

Well, who made her kind?

Who made her lack money?

Who asked her to really point him to take her out of the palace, to see Xingyu, and to visit General Xiayan?

Ji Qingge took advantage of the time when the two brothers of Di Jinxuan were chatting, stood up silently, and walked to the back garden with Xuanji and Mo Ya. Wearing long boots and stepping on the thick snow-paved path, the cold wind swept across her white face like a sharp blade.

In order to prepare pills for the queen, she had to avoid the eyes of many palace ladies and eunuchs and go to an idle miscellaneous house at the end of the back garden.

The miscellaneous house was exceptionally clean, with clean windows and spotless.

Located in the northwest corner of the house, there is an antique wooden table. In the pale blue porcelain vase on the table, there are a few bright red plums.

The fragrance of red plums permeated the house along with the fragrance of the spices burning in the incense burner. Smelling the fragrant scent, Ji Qingge showed a relieved smile.

This miscellaneous house was cleaned up by Zixin and others.

After taking care of it, Ji Qingge only entered this room once to make pills. She asked Xuanji and Mo Ya to wait outside the door, so she took the medicinal powder, porcelain bottles and other items, and began to make pills.

After Ji Qingge washed his hands and wiped them clean, he took out the medicinal powder and poured it into a large light gray porcelain plate. Add the best honey and stir carefully.

As long as she thought that this medicine was for the hateful queen, she couldn't wait to greet the queen's parents. The thought of the queen's sarcastic words to her made her feel uneasy.

She gritted her teeth fiercely and forcefully put the plate containing the medicine on the wooden table, "Bang".

Last time, I made ten pills for the queen, and they were all completely genuine. This time, Ji Qingge was not so solid-eyed. Her slender eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in her heart:

"Hmph, the emperor's creditor and his mother, don't you look down on me? Don't you think I'm useless?

Okay, I'll open your eyes.

Let you know, girl, I'm not a bully. Hum. ”

Unlike the previous pills, this time Ji Qingge only prescribed medicines that helped with sleep. As for other aspects, it depends on the queen's performance.

Carrying the made pills into the quaint wooden box, he returned to the warm pavilion and handed them to Di Jinxi.

"A total of ten ,......," Ji Qingge explained.

"Third sister-in-law, thank you after my surrogate mother." Di Jinxuan took the wooden box containing the pill with both hands, and said with a warm smile like the sun.

Di Jinxi left, and Di Jinxuan personally went out of the warm pavilion to see him off.

Returning to Nuan Ge again, he clenched Ji Qingge's frozen red hands distressedly, and couldn't help but reproach her: "There are no outsiders in Nuan Ge, are you still hiding so far?" Put all the palace ladies outside and stand, how tired are you alone? ”

"I'm used to it...... Days of not being dependent on others. ”

Whether it is Xuanji or Mo Ya, they can't know her gritted teeth and her bitter and bitter state.

Her helplessness is only understood by herself.

After hearing Ji Qingge's words full of sadness, Di Jinxuan's heart ached suddenly. It was as if there was an invisible, extremely sharp dagger that pierced the tip of his heart.

Is this blaming him for being too cold, or blaming his mother for being too harsh?
