On the fourth day after hitting the wall, Ji Lingsheng entered the palace.

Xiao Dezi looked forward to the stars and the moon and looked forward to Ji Lingsheng, his eyes were sunken and he didn't seem to have slept well these days, and he stood behind the palace gate with the sun every day, and he had to be in a panic all day, and his heart must be more difficult than his body. Eat a trench and grow wise, this time he stood cleverly outside the palace gate and waited for Ji Lingsheng, he must be a little clever to be able to climb to the front of the palace to serve the emperor.

Ji Lingsheng didn't mean sympathy and condolences, and said with a grin: "Little stool, have you been waiting here for the past few days?"

Xiao Dezi, who didn't dare to correct his name, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said respectfully: "The emperor ordered the slave to take Ji Gongzi to see the princess, so naturally he had to see him." Ji Lingsheng asked a nonsense.

Ji Lingsheng waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Dezi to lead the way.

Xiao Dezi walked in front with his waist hunched, his pace was compact and a little hurried, but he didn't walk fast, so that Ji Lingsheng could follow in the back.

Along the way, I saw Xiao Dezi, a big character with sesame seeds, all greeted and sent off, but Ji Lingsheng looked arrogant and rude without squinting, looking at Xiao Dezi's humble figure, his bent body was almost in the dust, there was no spring breeze that an emperor's close servant should have, only the fear pulled out by the ants when they struggled in the spider web. Compared with the swingers who only had others to burn incense and worship the Buddha before they got into trouble, Ji Lingsheng felt that this day was much more comfortable, but he would not be unable to straighten his waist.

The sorrow for Xiao Dezi Ji Lingsheng only clicked to the end, this kind of person grabbed a handful, when he was young, he wanted to climb up, but when he was old, he still did this, he forgot where to stop, maybe when he woke up one day, the soil was buried to his neck. The little eunuch in front of him is just one of the many living beings, the red-clothed chief, this official is not low, it is not a cheap bone, Ji Lingsheng, who has no temperament and does not have much ink in his belly, scolded secretly.

People, it's just that they bump their heads in the immersive situation, and they know that it is the south wall when they hit their heads and bleed. Ji Lingsheng also knew in his heart that if he was himself, even if he woke up on the way, he couldn't stop, and he couldn't turn back.

Ji Lingsheng had some heart palpitations about such a road of no return, he didn't embark on this road, since he broke off the idea of cultivating, he has been going back and forth in the past few years, he has been wantonly squandering and having fun in time.

But if he can successfully carry out his cultivation, it will be a different matter, what is the purpose of cultivation? Ji Lingsheng has been so confused for the first time since he was a child, is it to find an ethereal immortality or to solve this puzzle? If he embarks on this path by himself, will it also be a road of no return? What is the end of cultivation? What can he get at that time? Is a person's loneliness immortal? Ji Lingsheng suddenly dared not think about it.

Shaking his head, if he can't think it through, then he doesn't want to, anyway, it is difficult for him to cultivate, and he doesn't expect to encounter this problem, Ji Lingsheng simply let this problem be solved by those who have achieved cultivation.

Ji Lingsheng, who came back to his senses, suddenly heard someone whispering to him, Ji Lingsheng took a look, but found that Xiao Dezi didn't know when he had knelt on the ground, and there was a person standing not far in front of him.

Yue Mingxiu, who was dressed in a yellow robe, was full of energy, and looked at the stunned Ji Lingsheng with a smile, Ji Lingsheng saw that the person who came was Yue Mingxiu, and bowed with his fists: "See the emperor!"

Although Ji Changfeng doesn't have to salute the emperor, Ji Lingsheng doesn't have this treatment, whether it is the gift of the elders or the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, he bows to him.

Yue Mingxiu's arms were floating, and the golden dragon on his wide sleeves was dazzling, making Ji Lingsheng exempt.

Yue Mingxiu smiled and said to Ji Lingsheng: "Why did Ling Sheng only come today?", Ji Lingsheng was a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that the master didn't want to see your daughter, and after gathering his heart, he apologized: "Two days ago, I occasionally felt a cold and neglected the princess, please don't blame Your Majesty!", Yue Mingxiu sighed lightly.

"Is Zi Ming in the palace today?" Yue Mingxiu said suddenly, as if he was asking his entourage, but obviously he was talking to Ji Lingsheng. "The princess went to the imperial dojo for autumn hunting a few days ago, and she only came back yesterday, and she should still be resting in the palace today. An old eunuch beside Yue Mingxiu nodded respectfully, and the voice that was neither yin nor yang made Ji Ling feel a chill.

Ji Lingsheng suddenly felt that the "little stool" had some sharp voices that became much better, although Ji Lingsheng didn't know what the eunuch was called, but he could be the emperor's follower, and his status was probably higher than that of the "little stool", the eunuch's flattering appearance made Ji Lingsheng very disgusted, if Xiao Dezi climbed up step by step by doing things carefully, then this guy must have been stealing and slippery and taking advantage of the loopholes to rub it up, Ji Lingsheng really didn't want to take a second look at this disgusting face, so he looked down at the stone slab on the ground.

After hearing the reply, Yue Mingxiu looked at Ji Lingsheng and said, "That's very good, then Ling Sheng, hurry up and follow Xiao Dezi to see Zi Ming!", Ji Lingsheng, who quickly saw the flowers on the floor, raised his head when he heard this, pretending to be happy and nodded vigorously, and scolded in his heart, it's not because you, the emperor, have gone around so many circles! The more Ji Lingsheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and most of his fear of the emperor dissipated.

Seeing Ji Lingsheng disappear from sight, Yue Mingxiu still had a smile on his face, squinting his narrow bloody eyes, which made people unable to see through. The first power holder of Siyue suddenly asked: "What are the results of Ziming's departure from the city this time?" The old eunuch lowered his head and squinted and smiled: "The princess caught a golden female python this time, and the Lord Xiangguo praised it endlessly. ”

Yue Mingxiu nodded and muttered, "It's a pity that it's a female python." ”

Ji Lingsheng said goodbye to Yue Mingxiu and continued on the road, breathing a sigh of relief, he was still a little nervous in the face of the smiling tiger, and he didn't know why he always liked to act in front of the emperor, like intuition, an intuition that Ji Lingsheng believed in very much. Wiping the sweat from his palms on the robe, Ji Lingsheng made up his mind that this unfathomable middle-aged emperor would still be rare in the future.

Xiao Dezi took Ji Lingsheng around the Jinluan Palace to the harem, and finally stopped in front of a palace, turned to Ji Lingsheng and said, "Master Ji, this is the princess's bedroom, and the slaves can only be sent here." ”

Ji Lingsheng nodded, Xiao Dezi retreated, Ji Lingsheng looked at the noble palace with fat powder, and read the three words Zifeng Hall on the plaque, different from the disguise just now, Ji Lingsheng was really a little excited this time, Ji Lingsheng sorted out his dress, took a deep breath, and walked in with his head held high.

Ji Lingsheng walked through the red lacquer door, and a maid who had been waiting by the door for a long time saluted Ji Lingsheng and said, "Ji Gongzi, the slave maid is called Yan'er, and the princess sent the slave maid to lead the way for the son." ”

Ji Lingsheng nodded slightly, Yan'er looked at Ji Lingsheng's handsome appearance, her little face was red, and she glanced at Ji Lingsheng affectionately, although Ji Lingsheng was notorious in Siyue, but she was born with a good skin, so when the maid turned around, she deliberately twisted her waist more.

Ji Lingsheng, who is young and rich, has a strong family background, and is handsome and extraordinary, is not just a piece of gold for these young palace maids, even if it is not necessarily gnawed, it is best to hold it.

Ji Lingsheng has seen a lot of beautiful women, and she is naturally not interested in this kind of little cabbage that has not grown in her figure and appearance, and directly ignores Yan'er's autumn wave secret send. Yan'er saw that he was indifferent, although she was angry, she didn't dare to rob her husband with the princess openly, and secretly scolded that she was not a man and then took Ji Lingsheng and walked inside.

Ji Lingsheng passed through the courtyard, all the way to flowers and plants, Ji Lingsheng glanced at these flowers and plants that he couldn't call and stopped looking, he never disdained to be vassally elegant, time-consuming and laborious.

Ji Lingsheng observed the princess's attic, gorgeous and delicate to the point of harshness, no Snow Jade Pavilion looked comfortable and natural, it seemed that this princess was a little difficult, this was Ji Lingsheng's most sincere thought.

On the way, there was a place that Ji Lingsheng paid attention to, it was a stable, much more built than the one in his own house, and there were a lot of divine horses, and the neighing was endless.

Ji Lingsheng remembered the first and only time he saw the little princess before, when she also returned from hunting in the city, standing on horseback, raising her whip heroically, frowning and pretty, which made Ji Lingsheng on the other side of the street lose her mind.

The hundred steps of staring that day became one step away today, Ji Lingsheng took a deep breath again, and slowed down the somewhat restless heartbeat as much as possible, but it was in vain, the closer he got to the main hall, the more panicked his heart became, and the first step taken by the young man towards love was always flustered.

Ji Lingsheng felt that walking down these steps was no less than walking on the edge of the cliff, and when he arrived at the door, Ji Lingsheng's teeth were a little gurgling, Ji Lingsheng squeezed his fists hard, forced himself to calm down, and then strode in.

There is a low table in the center of the hall, on which there is a coffee table, two wisps of green smoke float out from the purple gold incense burner on both sides of the main hall, the hall is set off like a fairyland on earth, and the princess of Ziming next to the low table sits dignified, with a little pink on her pretty face, and her expression is indifferent, like a red dust fairy in the smoke.

Ji Lingsheng's heart shook when he saw it, this feeling was stronger than seeing Liu Ruoxi in the Snow Moon Pavilion, although Liu Ruoxi thought that it should be more beautiful than Zi Ming, but no one could see it with a veil, and now looking at Princess Zi Ming up close, Ji Lingsheng actually looked stupid.

"Ji Gongzi?" Ji Lingsheng came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being unproductive, and Princess Ziming, who woke him up, saw that he was stunned by his beauty, but there was no smug on his face.

Ji Lingsheng smiled and walked to the other side of the low table and sat down cross-legged, Princess Ziming lowered her eyebrows and made a cup of tea, pushed the teacup down in front of Ji Lingsheng, and said softly: "Master Ji, my father has already told me about this!"

Ji Lingsheng frowned slightly, he didn't like this condescending tone, it was difficult for him to adapt to not like to look up at people, just like a rich boy who was a few years older than Ji Lingsheng just laughed at him on the second floor, but Ji Lingsheng rushed up and threw the kid down from the second floor, breaking a leg on the spot. Stimulated, Ji Lingsheng's originally dizzy brain began to sober up, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a trace of disgust with the princess.

"Then I don't know what the princess wants?" Ji Lingsheng asked straight to the point, Princess Ziming brought the teacup to her mouth, dipped the tea lightly and then put down the teacup, and asked lightly: "What does Ji Gongzi think of this tea?"

The indifference of words, the staggered topics, all kinds of signs showed that she was not interested in herself, and Ji Lingsheng even felt that she had not looked at herself from beginning to end, which made Ji Lingsheng faintly angry.

The slightly hot tea flowed down his throat, and the warm current quickly rushed to his abdomen, exhaling a mouthful of hot air gushing with the fragrance of tea, Ji Lingsheng controlled his emotions and said with a forced smile: "The tea made by Her Royal Highness the princess is naturally good tea!"

Yue Ziming shook her head lightly and did not continue.
