Chapter 25: The Feast of Flowers 2
The Hundred Flowers Banquet began to be held a few years ago, and the princes under the emperor's knees have all reached the age of marriage.
Many of them have moved out of the palace, and the princes who have established mansions outside are the focus of attention.
King Yu, who has not been able to participate in previous years, has finally raised his eyebrows this year, and one of the hot candidates for this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet can be described as a spring breeze.
King Ding, as always, was unpopular, but he was not affected.
He only returned to Beijing last year, and before that, he had been fighting in the border every year, and there were officials in Beijing who wanted to make friends with him, but they were also silent because they were afraid that their daughter would be widowed.
When I heard the news of his return to Beijing this year, I began to get ready to move, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Beijing, he was highly poisoned, and now he robbed his brother's ugly bride.
With the disturbance of the king, the wind direction of the court has changed several times, and even Ji Zhengrong doesn't know whether he is the emperor or the king.
Looking at Ji Yuexi's attitude now, he feels that he can't stand in line in a hurry, he still has to look at the situation.
He can't afford to provoke the king, and he can't afford to provoke the emperor.
Ji Yuexi is the most unstable factor among them, he has thought about it for a long time, coupled with the persuasion of the eldest lady and the third aunt in his ears, he is more and more sure that Ji Yuexi can't stay.
If she is allowed to stir up the situation again, she may push him into some terrifying abyss in the future, and she will not be able to parry it at all.
When Mama came back to report everything she saw in Ji Yuexi's house, and by the way, after saying that she had a tough attitude, Ji Zhengrong felt more and more that his daughter couldn't stay!
Originally, I thought she was useful, but now it seems that it is better for her to disappear.

Ji Yuexi didn't pay attention to what was going on outside the window at this time, and only thought about how the makeup on her face could become more perfect.
She made a simple foundation with Chinese medicine, and the concealer power can completely cover the scars on her face, and she used the rouge here to draw a full makeup, and even Lily thought she knew witchcraft when she saw it.
"Miss, are you really my miss! Why do you do all this lily can't understand! β
The lily rookie let out a wail, looking at Ji Yuexi, whose appearance gradually returned to normal, he only felt that it was incredible!
If his young lady had been like this earlier, would he still be ignored by King Yu again and again?
Wrong! King Yu is not a good match, it is not as good as today's King Ding is good to Miss, and now Miss has become so beautiful, King Yu is not worthy!
Lily's heart is messed up, but it's all for the sake of her own young lady's happy thoughts.
In the past, Ji Yuexi never dared to go out because of her face, let alone a hundred flowers banquet, even if it was a small banquet, she avoided it and lied about her illness.
couldn't accept what those people thought of her at all, and the whole person became withdrawn and cowardly.
I don't know when it started, Ji Yuexi brought too many surprises to Lily, just like now, her young lady asked her to help with curling her hair, she just got her hair done, and found that Ji Yuexi directly changed her face.
Those so-called abscesses all disappeared, and in their place were Ji Yuexi's true appearance, and some flaws would be seen when they were close.
The beautiful young lady from the past returned, and Lily was about to burst into tears when she saw it.
It's been so long that she has forgotten her young lady's previous appearance.
In front of her, Ji Yuexi was just wearing a simple white dress, but she looked like a fairy who fell from the sky, her eyebrows and eyes were no longer timid, but instead of her arrogant demeanor, as if she was born so bright, she was originally so good-looking.
Lily looked stupid and froze in place.
"How? I'm not going to be too embarrassed to dress up this time, right? Ji Yuexi took a sip of the red paper, and her face had a little complexion.
The body is too weak to be repaired all at once.
Fortunately, she fought all over the world in her previous life, and she liked to make these cosmetics in her spare time, and also used traditional Chinese medicine to make a skin-nourishing foundation.
I don't know how long I wear makeup, just don't look foreign.
Looking at the bronze mirror in front of him, seeing a face that is 80% similar to his previous life, he is finally relieved.
This time, I have a sense of belonging, I used to think that I was using someone else's body, but now when I see my face, I feel that I am really alive.
She wants to help Ji Yuexi take revenge, and she also wants to get the Cold Spirit Bead, and if she is lucky, she can return to the previous world.
I don't know how, she's been holding it back for too long anyway.
This time I'll play a big one.

Chi Jingyu was going to Ji Mansion to pick up Ji Yuexi, but suddenly a holy decree from the Queen Mother came, asking him to go back to the palace to get together, and the wind insisted on accompanying him.
In the end, I could only let the carriage of Dingwangfu go to Jifu and wait.
Ji Zhengrong heard the people below say that King Ding was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, and it was just an ordinary guard who came to pick up Ji Yuexi, and he immediately became majestic.
sent someone to send the carriage of Dingwang's mansion, saying that the man was not married and the woman was not married, and Ji Yuexi still had to sit in the carriage of the Ji Mansion so that he would not make jokes.
The subordinates didn't have the right to speak at all, and when Ji Yuexi came out, he thought that the carriage in front of him belonged to the Dingwang Mansion.
The eldest lady and Ji Zhengrong had already set off, and she fell behind because she was busy wearing jewelry.
This banquet was the same as the Hongmen Banquet, and she didn't plan to go early.
I got on the stool and got on the car, and suddenly felt that the carriage of the king was a little different from the one I sat in before.
Lily also felt strange, but did not dare to say anything.
It was the first time for the two of them to enter the palace, and Lily had always felt that she was protecting Ji Yuexi like a sister, and she was in good spirits at this time, and she had always assured her that nothing would go wrong.
"You have a big heart, and you still want to protect me at this time?"
Ji Yuexi raised her eyebrows, she didn't laugh, but felt that Lily was naΓ―ve.
Innocent and cute, she thinks that the palace is a good place, the kind of scene of eating people without spitting out bones, she went for the first time, but don't be scared.
The two of them talked and laughed, but they didn't notice that the carriage was not driving on the prescribed official road at all, and the horseman took advantage of the lack of attention and turned a dark road.
The carriage came to the crowded city, Ji Yuexi lifted the curtain, looked at the scene outside, and saw so many people, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I don't know out of nowhere, a carriage suddenly came out.
"Hiss-" and there was a jolt in the carriage.
Ji Yuexi and Lily's bodies shook, and their heads were about to hit the top of the carriage, and Ji Yuexi quickly pulled her.
Lily was frightened, but heard the shouts of passers-by outside the carriage.
"Oh my God! The carriage collided! β
"The driver fell off!"
"Quick! Run! The carriage was frightened! β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Yuexi grabbed the edge of the curtain with one hand and the lily with the other, her eyes shrank slightly, and her lips pursed.
All right! It turned out that they wanted her life this time.
The horses kept galloping on the official road, and under this, the carriage also began to crumble, and Ji Yuexi could feel that the wooden planks they were standing on were a little crumbling.
The body was dragged and pulled, and he couldn't control the tilt in other directions.
If no one outside controlled the carriage, they would most likely die in the carriage.
Ji Yuexi didn't have much strength, so he directly stabilized his body with his feet, and said to the lily on his side: "Hold on to this plank!" β
Before Lily could hear clearly, she was directly dragged by Ji Yuexi to where she was standing now.
When she was steady, she watched her young lady run out of the curtain and grabbed the wheel.
This scene was clearly seen by the lily in the car, as if she had guessed what Ji Yuexi wanted, and exclaimed loudly: "Miss! Be careful! β
Ji Yuexi's hand that grabbed the wheel was rubbed several times.
She was extremely calm, thinking of what Mama said when she came to her room from the beginning, and then thinking of the accident in this carriage, she knew that this was the Ji family's means.
Let her die tragically in this carriage when people don't know it.
When others asked, they said that there was an accident when they came to the palace, and the coachman was dead at this time, so the Ji family could stay out of it cleanly, and then solve her trouble.
It's just a pity that she is not the previous Ji Yuexi.
Between the lightning and flint, Ji Yuexi quickly found a fulcrum, took off, and jumped directly on horseback.
The horse was originally frightened and crazy, but now that someone is on his body, he is even more frightened, and he wants to throw Ji Yuexi off his body at every step.
In a moment, Ji Yuexi could only grasp the saddle on the horse and stabilize his figure, and then turned back to see Lily's situation.
After making sure that she was safe, he took out a close-fitting dagger from his arms and stabbed it directly into the fatal part of the horse.
With a miserable neigh, the horse finally quieted down, its huge body collapsed, and the carriage behind it finally stopped.
You don't know, this scene was clearly seen by Yan Yiheng who was passing by.
He originally wanted to save the carriage that was raging on the street, but he was attracted by a woman's movements, and his heart was suddenly shocked when he looked at her skills.
All along, the family wanted him to find a girl he liked, but all the ladies in Kyoto were basically carved out of a mold, and they couldn't get into his face at all.
Ji Yuexi in front of him was dressed in white, and under his good skills, there was also a veil to cover up, which made his heart even more moved.
Yan Yiheng had a voice in his heart telling him, this is it!
forgot that there were guards behind him who arrested him, and when he reacted, Yan Yiheng didn't know why, and ran directly to Ji Yuexi's side.
Ji Yuexi was still worried that her carriage was broken at this moment, but she didn't expect a person to run towards her with a pair of chasing soldiers.
She still held the weak lily in her hand, and it took a lot of effort to subdue the crazy horse, and there was no way to dodge.
The moment she almost hit it, Yan Yiheng braked in time, and she hurriedly retreated to avoid inertia letting him hit her.
The soul was undecided, and the guards behind him were heard wailing.
"Big young master! Don't be embarrassed for us, just go to today's Hundred Flowers Banquet! β
Yan Yiheng, who was replaced by the eldest young master, shook his head directly, "You go and tell my father that I have found a lover, so I won't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet!" β
On the contrary, Ji Yuexi, who was next to him, heard the words "Hundred Flowers Banquet", and hurriedly walked in front of Yan Yiheng and said to the group of guards:
"Prepare a new carriage, your young master said that he was going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Yan Yiheng: "? β
