Chapter 43: Nightfall

At night, the night is full of mist, as if to put a mysterious veil on Zhuangzi, standing in the courtyard and taking a deep breath is like being poured a mouthful of water into the nose, which makes people uncomfortable.

Cheng Jiyuan sat under the porch after sending Si Qi to sleep, looking up at the bright moon in the sky from time to time, and glancing at the gate of Langyuan from time to time, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

"It's already two days faster, three days later."

Isn't this man coming?

Or did this Ji Shizi remember her disrespect to him during the day and deliberately acted like this?

Thinking of this, Cheng Jiyuan couldn't help but feel a little angry, twisted her eyebrows, couldn't help clenching her fists, and hesitated whether to continue to wait or go back to the house directly.

Just as she was secretly scolding Ji Dou for the thirty-fifth time in her heart, a long figure finally came in by moonlight.

Cheng Jiyuan's eyes lit up, and he stood up eagerly, but he forgot that he had been maintaining a posture, and when he first saw him, his body shook unconsciously, and he subconsciously raised his hand to grab something, and the next second he inexplicably grabbed a warm and slightly hard thing.

"Are you alright?"

A low and worried voice sounded in his ears, and Cheng Xiyuan didn't even have to think about it to hear who the owner of the voice was.

When she came to her senses and her eyes became clear, she realized that she had grabbed Ji Dou's arm, and the slightly hard touch made her sigh from the bottom of her heart, this person is worthy of practicing martial arts since childhood, although he can't see the tendons and flesh, he is not at all less than those veterans who are five big and three thick.

Cheng Jiyuan calmly withdrew his hand, glanced at him gratefully, and replied softly: "Thank you Your Royal Highness for worrying, the courtiers are fine." ”

She briefly explained that she was just dizzy from getting up after sitting for a long time, so that he didn't have to worry, and then urged him to go.

Ji Dou looked at her thin figure under the moon, his brows tightened and he didn't care about her anxious mood, and said directly: "The night dew is heavy, if you don't want to get caught in the cold, it's best to add a cloak." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, but the courtiers didn't wear any cloaks...... Without further ado, let's hurry up, or we won't know what will happen if it's too late. Cheng Jiyuan didn't care about these trivial things.

However, Ji Dou was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Could it be that Tang Wenqi is so important?

Important enough for her to put her physical condition out of the equation?

Thinking of this, Ji Dou's face was a little ugly, but seeing that someone's face was full of urging and didn't argue with her like Bai Ri, he just tore off his cloak and threw it in her arms, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "Put it on." ”

Cheng Jiyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, she heard the person in front of her continue to speak: "If you don't wear it, the master will be here with you today." ”

Get! She had no choice.

Cheng Jiyuan was quite helpless, and embarrassedly put on the cloak that Ji Dou had just put on his body.

The moment she tied it, she seemed to be able to clearly feel the warmth of the cloak's inner lining and the scent of pine wood.

It's his taste.

Cheng Xi tightened the cloak on her body and raised her eyes to look at someone not far away.

Seeing that she was obedient, Ji Dou revealed a somewhat satisfied look in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, snorted lightly and said, "Okay, don't delay the time, let's go." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Jiyuan was a little speechless.

Who is delaying time?

However, she didn't dare to slander him in front of him now, so she quickened her pace and almost trotted to follow, and after a while, she saw Ji Dou leading a tan horse and feeding.

When he saw her coming, he beckoned, and the next second, he turned over neatly and stretched out his hand to her.

"Your Royal Highness, this is ......"

"The location is twenty miles away from the West Mountain, is it possible that you plan to walk there by yourself or do you plan to ride a horse by yourself?" Ji Dou looked at her condescendingly, and there was a faint smile in Peach Blossom's eyes and a flash of success.

He had long known that Miss Yan of the Minchang Mansion was a noble girl who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't know anything about riding and shooting.

Cheng Jiyuan suppressed the embarrassment on her face, and no longer hesitated to stretch out Rouyi.

The white and tender Rouyi lined up more and more tender in the moonlight, and the moment Ji Dou grabbed it, he seemed to feel that he was grasping a piece of tender tofu, as if he would crush it with a force, but he didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, and lifted the person up and put it in front of him with a force.

Cheng Jiyuan exclaimed in fright, and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he sat down, but in the next second, he felt his back against a warm and hard place, and he didn't have to think about it to know what it was.

She tried to move forward uncomfortably, but as soon as she moved her thin waist, she was restrained by someone's hard arm.

"Don't move, fall carefully."

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Cheng Jiyuan deliberately wanted Ji Dou to move back, at least to make a little gap between the two.

Just before she could speak, Ji Dou had already asked her to sit down and prepare, and the horse under her immediately galloped like a booster.

At this moment, she even suspected that Ji Dou had done it on purpose.

For nothing else, but because her back was so close to someone's chest that the scorching heat seemed to burn a hole in her back.

The whirring night breeze blew on both sides of her ears, and Cheng Jiyuan closed her lips and hung her head, for fear that one would accidentally pour the wind in.

As everyone knows, the moment she bowed her head, she happened to be seen by someone.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Jiyuan gradually felt that the wind on the side of her ears didn't seem to be so strong, and when she raised her head carefully, she found that Ji Dou's arms happened to be on both sides of her cheeks.

Cheng Jiyuan's heart shook slightly, and a complex emotion arose.

She didn't dare to think about it, suppressed that emotion, and said thank you in a low voice.

"Appeal ......"

After galloping for nearly an hour, he finally stopped.

Ji Dou glanced down at the little man who had been hanging his head, turned over and dismounted without saying anything, and then stretched out his hand to her and said, "A thousand meters further is where the prince haunts, and if you don't want to be discovered, you have to walk forward." ”

Cheng Jiyuan dismounted with his strength, and nodded when he heard the words, but his eyes were looking around.

This place......

She seemed somewhat familiar.

"Let's go."

Ji Dou interrupted her thoughts, patted the mount, and saw that the horse left slowly by itself, and then took her hand and walked forward.

Cheng Jiyuan looked down at the intertwined palms of the two, and subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but felt someone's aggravated force and unhappy emotions.
