Seeing that Ji Nong had already stood up with a smile, the voice of the second half of the sentence was a little weak, only to say that yesterday His Royal Highness Jiu was living in the palace, and the prince wanted to go with him, but it was the border pass that came to the palace, and the emperor asked Xie Yao, who was on duty in front of the emperor, to accompany him.

Ji Nong was not very interested in Xie Yao after hearing this, so he only nodded, and said to the Yang family who was a little surprised with a smile: "Uncle may not know that yesterday evening, the ninth brother, who has always practiced outside, returned to the capital, and his father had a heart, so he also lent him a catch today. ”

The Yang family is also a person who is full of political wisdom, and after listening to Ji Nong's words, he had a plan in his heart, but his mouth was very good, and he even asked Chaorong to lead her to the pavilion of the banquet with interest, and did not mention the words of meeting the Nine Emperor Princes, but when she got up to leave, she whispered in Ji Nong's ear: "Concubine Shu, the old man is also." ”

Although Ji Nong's dress is good-looking, it has a great test for the wearer when walking, and it is a shame that this body still retains the original body's demeanor training, and she is still told to walk much fuller than usual.

The specifications of the eldest princess's mansion of 7,000 are incomparable to ordinary mansions, although it is called a mansion, it is actually built according to the regulations of the East Palace. The main building is a triple hall, connected with two gardens, one large and one small, and other courtyards and pavilions are scattered in turn. The front hall is the place where the princess's mansion receives orders to welcome the car, and it is not open; The apse is her living place, the inner courtyard of the ordinary mansion; Sandwiched in the middle of the nave, is the place where she will meet the council, because the nave is called strange, the emperor gave the plaque of "Mingluan Palace".

When Ji Nong stepped into the Mingluan Palace, his gaze froze for a moment. Xie Yao's figure was the most familiar to her, but the man in plain clothes beside him, even if he hadn't even seen his eyebrows clearly, made her feel shocked, and she couldn't help but be brought into the realm around him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two men looked at her together, and the phrase "fairy brother" almost blurted out of her mouth. Her ninth brother Ji Lan is really, too immortal!

For a moment, she didn't know where she was, in the most luxurious palace of the princess's mansion, but she thought that she was standing in the mountain meditation courtyard of the evening drum and morning bell. Ji Lan, who was dressed in plain clothes in front of him, was like a bodhisattva enshrined in the treasure hall, stepping into this red dust, which also made people feel ethereal.

However, Xie Yao coughed lightly and pulled her reason back. Xie Yao glanced at her deeply, then lowered his eyes to hide his complicated emotions, but his tone was soft, and he said slowly: "The eldest princess is healthy." His Majesty sent His Royal Highness Nine to come by his majesty's will, and His Majesty had another message, asking the princess to report the name of the person who won the championship to the palace after the banquet was over, and His Majesty gave it something else. ”

"Thank you, Father." Ji Nong was blessed in the direction of the palace, and then performed a brother-sister etiquette to Ji Lan, and said, "Brother Jiu, I haven't seen you for many years. ”

"Little sister." Ji Lan's return salute is also standard and elegant, although he is meditating under the name of a name, but in the end he is not escaping into the empty door, and the royal etiquette is naturally not slack, "Foolish brother bothered." ”

"Where does Brother Jiu say, I just hope that your brother will not dislike me." Ji Nong smiled and shook his head, his facial features, which were already decorated with gorgeous features, were almost compelling when he laughed, and Ji Lan, who was almost turned into an immortal in front of him, seemed to be two extremes, but the facial features of the two of them were brother and sister at a glance, and it was also very interesting, "The ninth brother is like an immortal outside the world, and as soon as he stands in this hall, he makes the little sister feel lonely all around, but he looks forward to the ninth brother to come and go, and also calls me, a person who draws red dust, contaminated with a bit of immortal energy." ”

Ji Lan heard what she said, but she smiled, the face that was abstinent to the extreme, at this time, it showed a bit of worldly vitality, and the taste of the Ji royal family could also be seen between her eyebrows. Seeing his reaction, Ji Nong added a little more of an ordinary girl's delicateness, and said, "Brother came early, I don't know if I can have breakfast?" Now that there is nearly an hour before the banquet, why don't you move to the water pavilion and sit down for a while? ”

"It's true that we haven't eaten yet." Ji Lan also knew that she had probably not eaten now, so he didn't be polite with her. Breakfast was served in the water pavilion of the princess's mansion, facing the pavilion where today's assembly was held. When Xie Yao sat down, one of the Ji brothers and sisters was accustomed to it, and the other was quiet, but it was very harmonious.

It wasn't until the servants removed all the dishes and the three of them drank tea and rinsed their mouths that they began to talk again. The autumn wind on the lake was gusting, but it was blocked by the glass screen in front of the water pavilion, but it did not damage the scenery, but Xie Yao chuckled and said: "Since the beginning of autumn, it is rare to see Your Highness, it is the charming scenery in the mansion, and you will be left in this mansion." ”

"It's just that the craftsman has put a little more effort into it." Ji Nong felt that his tone was a little awkward, but in front of Ji Lan, he didn't want to worry about him, "I don't know my brother's taste, it just so happens that there is a hairy tip in the mansion that my father sent the day before yesterday, can Brother Jiu taste it?" ”

Ji Lan, who had been bowing his head and just drinking tea, heard this, but put down the teacup, showed a faint smile, and said, "Very good." The tea in my sister's house is much more delicate than that in Wutai Mountain. ”

"Brother Jiu is just afraid that he wants to say that it is much more cheesy." Ji Nong chuckled out loud when he heard this, "It is said that Zen tea is a taste, and when you are in the red dust, you have to drink red dust tea, and I will accept the word exquisite as a compliment." ”

Ji Lan's expression was still the same ascetic look, but the clear eyes made Ji Nong feel that he was much closer, and he had changed from a bodhisattva in the Daxiong Treasure Hall to a mortal with low eyebrows and singing. Now that the scene has opened, Ji Nong, like all the girls who are curious about his brother, asked him about his stories over the years, his demeanor and tone were not tentative at all, and a pair of charming eyes outlined by cinnabar were full of clear light.

Although Ji Lan looks like a fairy, he can tell the story, which is also very interesting. He was two years older than her, and when he was seven years old, Huijue Zen Master of Wutai Mountain was invited by the emperor to go to Beijing to say the Dharma for 7749 days and pray for the blessings of the people. When the emperor summoned him, Ji Lan was also in front of the emperor, and the master bluntly said to the emperor that the Nine Emperors were blessed with profound blessings, and if they could enter the Buddhist gate to meditate, they would be able to bless the country and benefit the four seas. Because Huijue had a high prestige among the believers in the country, and the royal family also believed in what he said, he really asked Ji Lan to worship him as a lay disciple. Because Ji Lan was young, he practiced in the Huguo Temple in Beijing, but he didn't want him to be wise when he reached the age of twelve, so he begged the emperor to allow him to enter Wutai Mountain to practice, and he went for nearly ten years before returning to Beijing.

probably knew that he had no fate with the throne in this life, but Ji Lan was very calm. The years of meditation in the mountains in his mouth make people feel a little bit of ease and long-term meaning. Ji Nong can almost imagine that on the road paved with bluestone slabs in the mountains, the ancient trees are towering, the picture is light cyan, and there is a layer of mist nearby, and there is no one in the four fields, only Ji Lan walks in a plain robe.

Her eyes fell on Ji Lan, the plain clothes he was wearing seemed to be kudzu cloth, but if she looked closely, the upside-down weaving was extremely fine, although she didn't know the goods, she also knew that this was by no means an ordinary fabric. When he looked at his face again, Ji Nong's eyes were also dyed with a hidden smile. This fairy brother is not really the master who does not eat fireworks in the world.

After half an hour like this, the government order appeared again, only that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived with Pei Lun. Ji Lan and Ji Nong also stopped talking with a smile, and only went forward together to greet the prince.

When he got up, Ji Nong suddenly felt that his sleeves were tight, and when he looked back, he saw that Xie Yao was deliberately a few steps behind her, and he slowly made a lip shape. Almost effortlessly, she could see what he was about to say.

"The Son of Heaven has mercy."

She wasn't the only one who came up with the idea. She sighed, her eyes fell on Ji Lan's back in front of her, but it was a little complicated, she didn't see Xie Yao behind her, and her eyes were complicated, falling on her side face.
