After the early dynasty, Qi Ming and several ministers went to the palace gate together.

After autumn, the palace was glowing with a trace of cold air, the cold dew on the ground had not yet melted, and the red wall rubble was still faintly condensed with fine crystalline water droplets.

Qi Ming's posture is upright, his eyebrows and eyes are clear, and his gentle and handsome appearance is faintly a little cold.

He was only wearing a thin four-grade court dress, and a gust of autumn wind blew the corners of his clean clothes, which made him more cold and arrogant.

Qi Ming is talented, and recently he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the emperor appreciates him, and in a short period of time, he was promoted to the fourth rank and served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

But he has a withdrawn temperament, and has always been reluctant to make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and acts in his own way without rules, so he has also offended many important ministers.

Even so, there are still many ministers who are rushing to extend olive branches to him. ap.

Qi Ming was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor at a young age, and his career will inevitably rise in the future, and the ministers who still have thousands of daughters in the family can't help but recommend themselves, and want to marry their daughters to him, but they are always directly rejected by him.

Chasing the reason, Qi Ming only said that he had a sweetheart.

On this day, when the military department saw him, he couldn't help but ask him: "Lord Qi is free recently?" The little girl in the family wants to invite Lord Qi to the mansion for a banquet. ”

Qi Ming's expression was indifferent, and he refused: "I'm sorry, I'm busy with official business these days, and it's inconvenient to go to the mansion. ”

Seeing that he bluntly refused, the military department Shangshu didn't want to say anything more, so he only smiled, and then left with an ugly face.

At that time, Huiyi was passing by the Imperial Garden and met Qi Ming head-on.

The conversation between the two happened to be overheard by Princess Huiyi.

Seeing Qi Ming walking towards him, his eyes seemed to be staring at him, Huiyi suddenly stood still in place, her heart pounding, and her face faintly revealed a touch of crimson.

The morning light gradually bloomed on the horizon, slightly brightening his overly good-looking eyes. He squinted slightly, his eyes were full of color and light, but they lacked warmth and brilliance.

The two met on the path of the Imperial Garden, with no one around each other.

Huiyi deliberately dismissed the maid beside him, and the colleagues beside Qi Ming also arrived at the palace gate one step ahead of him, and he fell behind because of the handling of official documents.

When he walked to her side, Qi Ming bowed slightly at her, there was no superfluous expression on his face, and he was indifferent and alienated.

Hui Yi couldn't help but stop him.

"Lord Qi!"

Qi Ming paused, turned his head, and fixed his cold gaze on her: "What's the matter with the princess?" ”

Huiyi said: "Are your injuries better?" ”

The last time he was injured, Huiyi immediately sent someone to send the best gold sore medicine, but Qi Ming turned people away without kindness, and directly rejected her kindness, and it was Yao's own initiative to accept her medicine.

Qi Ming didn't know Huiyi's thoughts, in fact, the emperor also intended to match them.

It's just that Qi Ming's heart is not in her, no matter how the emperor matches, he only pretends to be confused, and avoids this noble princess.

Qi Ming said lightly: "It's much better, Princess Don't worry about it." ”

Huiyi heard the alienation in his words, and obviously wanted to dissociate herself from her, but for some reason, the more cold and impersonal he was, the more interested she was in him.

As a princess, she was born noble, and she always looked high in front of people, only in front of Qi Ming, she was willing to condescend to the noble, just so that he could look at herself more.

But how could she not know that this man's heart was not in her at all.

Qi Ming said: "If the princess has nothing else to do, the lower officials will retire first." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Huiyi grabbed the corner of his clothes out of shape.

Qi Ming paused, looked at her slightly, and his gaze moved to her little hand that was tugging at the corner of his clothes.

The hands were slender and white, like jade onions.

Qi Ming frowned slightly, and his voice became colder: "Princess, please respect yourself." ”

Huiyi's face turned red, and she quickly let go of her hand, thought for a moment and said, "Qi Ming, next month is my birthday, will you come?" ”

She didn't call him Lord Qi, nor did she call herself this princess, cautiously trying to close the distance between the two.

But Qi Ming didn't seem to want to show her mercy at all.

"Xiaguan won't be able to pull away next month, but Xiaguan will prepare a congratulatory gift for the princess, and I hope that the princess Haihan will be sent to her."

The same rhetoric, the same indifferent and detached look.

Qi Ming treated her like someone else.

Huiyi's heart swelled up with an indescribable sense of loss for no reason.

Qi Ming directly ignored her, turned around and was about to leave, but Huiyi stopped him again: "This princess also invited Lin Shuang'er, are you sure Lord Qi won't go?" ”

Sure enough, at the mention of Lin Shuang'er, Qi Ming's expression finally had a wave.

"What is the princess's birthday?" Qi Ming asked.

Huiyi's fingers clenched secretly.

Sure enough, he only had Lin Shuang'er as a woman in his heart.

Huiyi hadn't seen Lin Shuang'er, she just glanced at her back from a distance, and it didn't make a difference.

She didn't understand, what was there about a servant girl to like him? actually made this man so cold that he was unapproachable, and he could only tolerate her in his heart!

Taking advantage of this birthday banquet, she wanted to see what was different about Lin Shuang'er's woman! What could she have compared to her!

For the first time in her life, Hui Yi became hostile to an unmasked woman.

She hates Lin Shuang'er, for no reason!
