Prince does not come

After returning to the palace, Xuan Yunqi ate Yunsha's medicinal food again. Although it was not as bad as it was at first, it was not delicious at all.

Xuan Yunqi took care of his body peacefully in Qingya Courtyard, while Ji Caiyue in Yuliu Courtyard was not so leisurely.Early in the morning, Chunhua said, "Princess, the emperor is going back to Beijing today."

Ji Caiyue hadn't seen Ji Zhen since that day at the palace, and she didn't know when she would meet again. Ji Caiyue hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the embassy.

When Ji Caiyue arrived at the embassy, ​​she found that Ji Zhen had already left, and hurriedly chased after the gate of the city.As soon as she arrived at the gate of the city, she saw that the chariots and horses of Lu State had already set off with their whips. Ji Caiyue felt very sad in her heart. She stood at the gate of the city and watched the team leaving in Juechen, unable to regain her senses for a long time.

A quarter of an hour later, Chunhua whispered, "Princess, let's go back."

Ji Caiyue sighed and got into the carriage.

Not long after walking, the car window suddenly moved, a cold light flashed, and a silver needle with a note pierced into the wall of the car.

A cold light flashed, and Ji Caiyue was frightened for a long time before she came back to her senses. She quickly raised the curtain of the car and looked out. The market was still lively, and there was no panic at all.

Ji Caiyue pulled out the silver needle, opened the note, and saw that it said: If you want to be a princess, come to Zuiyue Tower.

Ji Caiyue was puzzled, but she stopped the carriage anyway, "Chunhua, go and ask where the Zuiyue Tower is."

"Yes" Chunhua went away for a while, then came back and said, "Princess, the Zuiyue Tower is just ahead."

Ji Caiyue thought for a while, and said: "Go to Zuiyue Tower" Now she is alone, and Long Si only has Yan Ji in his heart, no matter what she does, she will never be able to please Long Si, the position of princess is getting farther and farther away from her It's far away, if someone can help her, that would be the best, but whether that person is worth meeting or not, we have to go and see first.

As soon as Ji Caiyue entered Zuiyue Tower, Xiao Er came over and said with a smile, "Ma'am, please go upstairs."

Chunhua felt a little scared, and pulled Ji Caiyue: "Princess"

Ji Caiyue said: "It's okay" and followed Xiaoer upstairs.

There is a large mountain-sea floor-to-ceiling screen in the room, which almost cut off the room, and the light scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafts in the room.

As soon as Ji Caiyue entered, Xiao Er closed the door.

Ji Caiyue walked into the room, stood in front of the screen, and asked, "Who are you and why didn't you show up?"

A hoarse and deep man's voice came from behind the screen, "Now the princess has a request for me, and I will not show up if I don't want to. When the princess becomes a princess in the future, when I have a request for the princess, I will show up."

Ji Caiyue sneered and said, "Is there anything I want from you? It's ridiculous, since you're not sincere, this princess won't waste my tongue." After finishing speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, a small servant ran out from behind the screen and brought a piece of jade pendant to Ji Caiyue.

"Does the princess remember this thing?"

Holding the jade pendant, Ji Caiyue was very surprised: "It's you".

She came out of Lu country in early March, and she also met bad people in Jizhou, but another group of people appeared to save her.Among those who rescued her, a masked man in black opened the car curtain and took a jade pendant from her waist, "Princess, please remember the grace of saving your life today."

The man said: "Now the princess can rest assured, I will not harm you."

Ji Caiyue was still worried, "What is your purpose?"

The man lazily said: "I just want to help me say a few good words in front of the prince after the princess becomes a concubine, and pretend to be a prime minister."

The prime minister is under one person and above ten thousand people.Not to mention that now Long Si is just an idle prince, he can't be the master at all.If this person really wants to form an alliance, why should he make such a big circle around her.Ji Caiyue asked suspiciously: "Why don't you go to the princess?"

The man smiled, "I have a life-long relationship with the princess, and the princess needs manpower now, and everyone has what they need to form an alliance."

Ji Caiyue is still hesitant, there will be no pie in the sky, and no one will help her for no reason.

The person behind the screen sighed, "Forget it, since the princess doesn't believe me, just pretend I didn't say it, princess, please."

Xiao Er opened the door, Ji Caiyue took two steps, then turned back, "I believe in you" Now as long as someone is willing to help her sit on the throne of princess, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The man said: "Since the princess is so straightforward, I am not ambiguous. Xiao Yue, send the things to the princess."

A handsome man in black came out from behind the screen, holding a tray in his hand, and walked up to Ji Caiyue, "Princess, this is a new snack from Zuiyue Tower."

On the tray is a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes as white as jade and rich in cinnamon fragrance, with golden fresh osmanthus flowers embedded in it.Ji Caiyue was a little curious, "It's only midsummer now, but there are already osmanthus flowers?"

The man said: "It's a miracle to create something out of nothing, princess, try it."

Ji Caiyue dubiously picked up a piece of pastry, hesitated for a while before putting it in her mouth.Sweet and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, it is indeed a rare delicacy.

The man asked, "How?"

Ji Caiyue said: "Yes, but what does this have to do with what we are planning?"

The man said: "Since the princess likes it, I will give the recipe to the princess."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yue took a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Ji Caiyue.Ji Caiyue took it and looked at it suspiciously.There are two sheets of paper stacked together, the rest are the same, except that one is written with Jingui and the other with Dangui.

Ji Caiyue didn't understand, so she asked, "What does this mean?"

The man said: "Hasn't the princess heard of the pile of bones under the osmanthus tree?"

Ji Caiyue's face changed suddenly, she threw the pastry in her hand to the ground, and said angrily: "How dare you murder this princess?" As she said that, she was about to go into the screen.

Xiao Yue quickly stopped Ji Caiyue and said, "The princess misunderstood, osmanthus is poisonous but osmanthus is a delicacy."

Ji Caiyue stopped and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Behind the screen said: "I have already thought about the method, as for how to use it, it is up to the princess herself."

Ji Caiyue felt a little unhappy, her hesitation did not look like an ally.

The man paused for a while, then continued: "Osmanthus fragrans should be able to sell for a good price these days, Xiao Yue, let's see off the guests."

Ji Caiyue stared at the mountains and seas on the screen in doubt for a while, then turned around and left the Zuiyue Tower to go to the palace.She is a dignified princess and must not always be a concubine.

Xuan Yunqi was bored lying down in the room with a fan to fan the wind. It was too hot, and he was sweating profusely when he moved.

Shu Ning came in with bayberry soup, "Princess, drink some bayberry soup to relieve the heat."

Xuan Yunqi took the bowl and asked, "Why hasn't it been iced?"

Shu Ning said: "The prince said that the princess is not in good health and cannot drink ice."

Xuan Yunqi took a sip, the unrefrigerated red bayberry soup did not relieve the fever at all.Xuan Yunqi picked up the bowl and went to Danqing courtyard.

After walking this way, Xuan Yunqi was so hot that he was sweating all over his head. When he arrived at the main room of Danqing Courtyard, the room was full of ice cubes, and the coolness burst out, and he suppressed the scorching heat in an instant.But he didn't see Long Si, so Xuan Yunqi found a young servant to ask, and found out that Long Si was in the study.

Xuan Yunqi walked to the door of the study and knocked on the door, "My lord"

"Come in"

The study room is also full of ice cubes, which is very cool.Xuan Yunqi was dissatisfied right away, why Qingya courtyard didn't see any shadow of ice.Going forward, put bayberry soup on the desk, "Let's relieve the heat"

Long Si put down his pen, picked up the soup and took a sip.

Xuan Yunqi took the time to look at Long Si's scroll, the painting is a landscape, the sky is high and the clouds are light, there are two rows of egrets flying in the sky, and there are mountains, forests and lakes below.There is a bit of open-mindedness, but the transition between succession and transformation is still jerky, and the spirit has not yet arrived.However, Ryuji was born as a general, so it's not easy for him to reach this level of painting skills.

Long Si put down the bowl and asked, "How?"

Xuan Yunqi was very cooperative and applauded: "Very good, very good."

Long Sidao: "I don't know how the princess's painting skills are?"

Xuan Yunqi shook his head and said: "The chess skills are fair, but the drawing skills are not good." Everyone has their own characteristics in painting, and this painting is likely to reveal their identity.As for playing chess, everyone plays the same way, there are no rules to be found, and no matter whether it is good or bad, it will not lose its identity.

Xuan Yunqi suddenly became interested, and he didn't know how Long Si's chess skills were, "How about a game?"

Long Sidao: "Also."

Xuan Yunqi saw that Long Si was so calm and thought he was good at chess, so he became even more interested and quickly set up the chessboard.After only three moves, Xuan Yunqi knew that Long Si's chess skills were worse than ignorance, his eyes were so dark that he couldn't tell the enemy from himself.

Xuan Yunqi looked at Long Si who was playing chess calmly, but he didn't lose.Xuan Yunqi asked curiously: "My lord, who taught you how to play chess?"

Long Si put the piece in his real chess eyes and blocked it, "When playing against Zuo, he said it a few times."

Jiang Hengyu is a master of chess painting in Liang Guo, if he can't teach well, then Long Si really has no interest in playing chess.Xuan Yunqi also followed Long Si in confusion, and asked: "Then your paintings were also taught by Zuo Xiang?"

Long Si shook his head, "No, it's an old friend."

Long Si's old friend?Xuan Yunqi wanted to ask, but seeing Long Si's expression was slightly sad, he wondered if that person died?He didn't ask any more questions, he looked down at the chessboard, the white chess and the black chess were already blocked, seeing that Long Si was still about to make a move, he said: "My lord, you have already won."

Long Si glanced at the chessboard and said with a smile: "Since I won, the princess must have lost."

Xuan Yunqi nodded obediently, and his heart became more and more thorough about Longsi's chess skills. Not only could he not play, he couldn't even watch.

Long Sidao: "If you lose, you will be punished, Wangfei wish?"

Xuan Yunqi was stunned for a moment, although he was a little puzzled, he still replied: "I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

Long Sidao: "Then from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the Qing Ya Yuan to teach the princess how to shoot."

Xuan Yunqi was stunned, "You want to teach me marksmanship?"

Long Si took a sip of the sour plum soup and nodded as it should.

Xuan Yunqi was both surprised and delighted. He was interested in martial arts since he was a child, but Xuan Yun was afraid that he would be hurt, so he always disagreed with him playing with swords and guns.Later, he really had no other choice, so he wanted to sneak to the military middle school to study, but he was stopped by Jin Yiwei when he was halfway there.After going back, Xuan Yun even issued an order that no one is allowed to teach the eldest prince martial arts.At this point, Xuan Yunqi had no choice but to give up, and since then he has never thought of practicing martial arts again.

Xuan Yunqi said: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow, I'm free right now."

Long Si looked at Xuan Yunqi who was eager to try, and poured a basin of cold water: "It's almost noon now, let's start tomorrow morning."

Xuan Yunqi looked at the sun outside, let alone practicing guns, even just standing in the yard was too hot.But it's okay to be idle, Xuan Yunqi sat down and asked casually: "What is the prince busy with recently?"

Long Si asked Lu Ming to set up lunch, "I am ordered to appease the people in the mansion"

Xuan Yunqi was curious: "To appease who?"

"Ji Caiyue"

Xuan Yunqi casually flicked the white jade teacup on the table, "Then have you gone to appease me?"

Long Sidao: "I'm still thinking about how to appease you."

At this time, Lu Ming came in to set up the lunch.

Long Si looked at Xuan Yun who was still playing with the cup and said in unison: "Come over for dinner"

Xuan Yunqi walked slowly to the table, "Have you thought about it yet?"

Long Si looked up at Xuan Yunqi, "What do you think of me?"

"I..." Xuan Yunqi choked, of course he wanted Long Si not to marry Ji Caiyue.But Long Si and Ji Caiyue are not three-year-old children, and their marriage is not a child's play.Not to mention Xuan Yunqi's reluctance, even Long Si's reluctance cannot change the fact of the marriage.

Xuan Yunqi said: "It's okay, you can appease him however you want." He poked a dish of white jade tofu in front of him with his chopsticks, and he refused to stop until the plate of tofu was smashed to pieces.

Long Si put a plate of tofu in tomato sauce in front of Xuan Yunqi, "Let's eat."

Xuan Yunqi took a few mouthfuls of food in a dull mood, it was even more unpalatable than Yunsha's medicinal diet, he lost his appetite in an instant, put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I'd better go back to Qingyayuan to eat Yunsha's medicinal diet."

Long Si also put down the bowl and chopsticks, "OK"

Hearing Long Si's straightforward words, Xuan Yunqi really didn't have the slightest bit of nostalgia left, so he stood up and left.Walking to the gate of Qingya Courtyard, I saw Shu Ning and Feng Yu standing at the bottom of the corridor, Feng Yu was drinking a bowl of soup, Shu Ning stood in front of Feng Yu and looked at him expectantly.

"Ahem..." Xuan Yunqi walked past the two of them with his eyes on the sky.

Seeing that it was Xuan Yunqi, Feng Yu and Shu Ning hurriedly saluted, "Princess"

When Xuan Yunqi saw Feng Yu, his eyes moved.He retreated back backwards, and retreated in front of Shu Ning with a serious expression: "Shu Ning, you left my princess in the Danqing Court and came back by yourself, what should you do?"

When Shu Ning heard this, he quickly knelt down, "Princess, I know my mistake."

Feng Yu also quickly knelt down, "Princess, this subordinate called Shu Ning back without authorization. If you want to punish him, you can punish him. This subordinate will never dare to complain."

Shu Ning hurriedly said: "It's none of Feng Yu's business, it's..."

"That's enough, that's enough." Xuan Yunqi stopped the two of them, obviously he was already troublesome enough, and he still wanted to watch this troublesome drama.Looking at Feng Yu, "Then I will punish you."

Feng Yu said: "Thank you, Princess"

Shu Ning looked anxious, and he was about to cry: "Princess, the servant came back without authorization, it really has nothing to do with Feng Yu."

Feng Yu said: "Feng Yu will go to receive the punishment now" he got up and was about to leave.

Shu Ning wanted to pull Fengyu but didn't dare to reach out, so he could only look at Xuan Yunqi with tears in his eyes, "Princess"

Xuan Yunqi felt a little helpless, and waved his hands: "Then you two go together."

Feng Yu was a little flustered, how could a weak woman like Shu Ning be able to bear the punishment of the palace.Hastily knelt down again, and begged: "Wangfei, this matter is all the fault of the subordinate, please let Shu Ning go."
