Mei Niang and Prince Chu didn't stop messing around until Shen, the palace maid waited for the two of them to wash, and Prince Chu went out directly.

He touched Meiniang's little face and said, "You wait at home, and I'll buy you some gadgets and come back." ”

Mei Niang looked moved, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the concubine, there is everything in the house, as long as I can see you every day, the concubine will be satisfied." ”

The prince smiled, "This request is not difficult, when will I not come back to accompany you one day?" ”

The imperial doctor sent by the emperor did not go directly to Ji's house, but first went to the prince's mansion to wait, and then went to Ji's house after meeting with the prince.

Ji Nian is naturally not sick, but it is not difficult to convince Ji Yuan to postpone the marriage, he can't wait for his granddaughter not to marry Prince Chu for the rest of his life.

Mei Niang didn't walk back to the dresser until Prince Chu left, and her girl hurriedly stepped forward to dress her up.

In the bronze mirror, her eyes wandered, although the mirror was hazy, she could still see the soft beauty, and the four words Gu Pan Shenghui were still a little insufficient on her.

The palace maids behind her were stunned for a while, and the little girl who had been following her couldn't change her face because she was used to it.

She smiled and said to the palace maids: "I don't go out, I don't need to wear a lot of makeup, just wipe some casually, you are tired for a day, go down and rest." When His Highness comes back in the evening, he will be busy. ”

The palace maids are grateful, don't look at them as if they don't lack food and clothing, in fact, there are a lot of problems on their bodies, especially stomach problems, almost every palace maid who has come up from the bottom has it.

It's because I don't have three meals with my master, and sometimes I can't spare time to eat all day.

Like today, after returning from Prince Chu, they had to guard outside, and they didn't dare to leave half a step at all, so they didn't eat lunch.

If it weren't for Meiniang's tolerance, they would normally have to wait until the evening to find time to take turns to fill some up.

The palace maids were hungry, so only two people were left outside to watch the door, and the rest went to eat first.

The girl picked up the comb and slowly combed Meiniang's hair, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to send a message to Your Highness?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Mei Niang tilted her head, slowly straightened a strand of slightly curled hair, and said almost inaudiblely: "What we do is the work of carrying the head, if we can't contact us, we won't contact, I just need to be my own beauty." ”

The girl frowned, Meiniang saw it through the bronze mirror, her pretty face turned cold, and she warned in a low voice: "Don't hide from me to go out to contact, you don't want to live, but I don't want to die yet." ”

"What the young lady said, the slave naturally wants to live."

Mei Niang snorted coldly and said: "Before I came, His Royal Highness repeatedly told me that I would rather die than show my deeds, so I hope you remember that in the future, unless it is a last resort, don't think about contacting that side." ”

Although the girl felt that there was no bottom in her heart, but before she came, Her Royal Highness the princess said that everything was to listen to Meiniang, so she could only suppress her mind and obey her orders.

Seeing that she was obedient, Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at herself in the mirror, touched her swarthy hair, and said secretly: I only hope she can go back alive.

Mei Niang is really good-looking, when Prince Chu first saw her, she was plain and beautiful, and she was dressed up in ordinary clothes, but now she is dressed up again, and the charm in her eyebrows and eyes after serving the prince can no longer be hidden, she is even more beautiful.

At least there are so many beauties in the harem of the Chu State, and the Prince of Chu has never seen anything better than Mei Niang.

Sure enough, Jiangling is a great talent, and even the beauties are slightly better than those of Chu.

A few people who are familiar with the prince have long known that the prince has a scarce beauty, and they don't like to mess around with them outside recently, and they will go back after dark every day.

It's a pity that they didn't see the real person, but this didn't prevent them from making fun of Prince Chu, and Song Jing, who had just been brought back not long ago, asked privately, "How is the beauty compared to the crown princess?" ”

The two of them are cousins, and Prince Chu doesn't mind, and says with disdain: "The latter is much different." ”

Song Jing pursed her lips disdainfully and asked, "Is she still so cold and arrogant to Her Highness?" ”

Prince Chu snorted coldly and did not speak.

Song Jing sneered: "Why is she? Until now, I can't convince Ji Yuan to be used by the Chu State, and I want to say that it was too hasty for His Royal Highness to agree to this marriage. Otherwise, with your identity, which girl in Da Chu can't marry? ”

Prince Chu's face became more and more unsightly, and he drank a glass of wine sullenly and said: "What can be done, now she is like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it." ”

And the chicken still has a hook on it, and if he gives up, the hook will definitely hurt him.

In order to win over Ji Yuan, he promised to marry Ji Nian on the spot, and this matter has already been announced to the world, and now he wants to say that he will not marry, with Ji Yuan's influence, let alone the world, even the saliva of the Da Chu scholars can drown him.

"Let's put it off for now." Prince Chu doesn't want to get married now, "And I'm only crowned, and I'll wait another two years to make it." ”

But Ji Nian didn't want to wait any longer, she was not much younger than him, and it would depend on whether she was willing to take the initiative to withdraw from her family.

Anyway, now Ji Yuan is also a chicken rib for Da Chu, maybe his father is not satisfied with this family affair?

Song Jing was naturally happy to see it, he was imprisoned at that time, half of the reason was Ji Yuan, this shame and humiliation he never forget.

Thinking of this, Song Jing took a sip of wine hatefully, and then couldn't help coughing violently.

Prince Chu hurriedly asked with concern, "Are you still cured of this illness?" ”

Song Jing's face flushed, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Where is it so easy?" ”

Song Jing was tossed a lot this time, first he was sick, and then he was so angry by Lin Qingwan that he vomited blood, and he was not released from prison after that.

Although Emperor Chu did not stop the Song family from asking for medical advice for him, he did not allow him to be released from prison, so Song Jing has been in prison.

After the New Year, he stayed for half a year, or not long ago, Zhao Jie committed treason to Chu, the queen was in a good mood with Emperor Chu, and took the opportunity to mention it, and the Song family begged again, and Emperor Chu agreed to release him.

But Song Jing not only lost face and lost face at her grandmother's house this time, but also fell ill, coughing twice from time to time, and occasionally bringing blood.

Even Prince Chu was afraid that his life would be short.

Song Jing is all counted on Lin Qingwan and Ji Yuan, Lin Qingwan is beyond his reach, but Ji Yuan is under his nose.

It's a pity that his father didn't listen to him, thinking that Ji Yuan was just an excuse to be used by Lin Qingwan, and there was really no need to implicate him for this, the key was that Ji Yuan's reputation was there, if it wasn't for the big hatred, the Song family was really unwilling to make enemies with Ji Yuan.

Therefore, the Song family is now willing to jump on the road of pit Ji Yuan.

Now that the prince is obsessed with the beauties brought back from Jiangling, and does not take Ji Nian in his eyes, Song Jing is naturally happy to see it, so not only did he not persuade him, but he also added fuel to the fire.

He wants to see, if Ji Nian stays as an old girl, Ji Yuan, your heart hurts.

Ji Yuan said that he didn't feel pain at all, although he didn't come out, but he was very well-informed, and in the past two years in the Chu State, he didn't just do this thing behind closed doors.

He would also allow friends to come to the door, and he would occasionally go to the teahouse, or at the invitation of friends, go to some literary gatherings, and give some guidance to the students.

So don't look at the time he spends at home, but in fact, there is nothing less to do, but Prince Chu can't see it.

I just thought he was closing the door every day.

Therefore, the news that the prince brought back a peerless beauty was known before the imperial doctor came to the door, so he was happy to let his granddaughter "get sick" and not be able to marry for the time being.

Ji Nian didn't know anything, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she found that the wedding date had been postponed, her face was ugly, and she couldn't help but ask her grandfather, "Why did you postpone the wedding date without asking me?" ”

Ji Yuan said coldly: "The idea of postponing the marriage date was proposed by His Royal Highness the Prince, Nian'er, do you still want to marry him even like this?" ”

Ji Nian couldn't help but bite her lip, "He mentioned it?" ”

Ji Yuan bowed his head, "Yes, Nian'er, now that you are not married, everything is still in time, you have to think clearly, he is like this before he gets married, are you sure that he can listen to you after becoming a parent?" ”

"If Grandfather can obey His Majesty's wishes......"

Ji Yuan lowered his face, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "So you still have to rely on me?" ”

Ji Nian's eyes were slightly red, her back couldn't help but bend, and her pride began to be hit, which was a little different from her persistence and cognition all along.

Ji Yuan sighed: "Child, grandfather's days are numbered, if you have to rely on me to gain a foothold in the Chu State, I don't worry about letting you marry into the royal family, because I can't shelter you for too long." ”

"But apart from the royal family, where in this world can we shelter our brothers and sisters?" Ji Nian shouted almost out of control: "You always say that my choice is wrong, but you say, in this troubled world, in addition to the supreme right, what else can protect our sister and brother?" ”

"I have so many students, there is always someone who can trust me......"

"But they are also people with a country, and after a hundred years, can they be as neutral as you? If not, our sisters and brothers are bound to follow them to choose a camp, and then they will still become the object of competition among several countries, and then they will have no power and no power, and it will be miserable to be helpless," Ji Nian thought of the fate of those who were contested in the history books, especially the fate of women, she shuddered, knelt in front of Ji Yuan's knees and said: "Grandfather, instead of that, it is better for me to choose one to rely on, at least the initiative is in our hands." ”

"Among the countries, only Chu is the most suitable." Of course, she knew that Emperor Chu was not favored by her grandfather, but Emperor Daliang was old, the eldest prince was too big, they were all married, and the younger one was too small.

Not to mention Xishu and Fujian, only Chu is the most suitable, and the momentum of Chu is also the most fierce.

When Ji Yuan heard this, his shoulders couldn't help but collapse, and the kid still didn't understand what he was wrong.

In the end, I didn't teach myself well, "Nian'er, why do you have to think about attaching to others?" In fact, you can also do it yourself, you should not focus on the royal family, but on the world. Your decision was too hasty and hasty, which is why you are so passive......"

"Grandfather, I don't want to rely on others, I just want to control my own destiny and take care of my younger brother, so I chose Prince Chu."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
