Picture her prosperous face

It is hot in July, but it is still so hot that people are impatient, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the street.

In the Ya Gexuan, a young man with a face like a crown jade is sitting opposite a silent and dignified young man.There is a short table in front of the two of them, on which there is only a pot of tea and two teacups, the lingering tea fragrance rises with the almost invisible steam.

Ji Chang raised his hand, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the person opposite, and then poured a cup for himself.Holding the warm tea cup, she didn't seem to feel hot in this scorching summer, on the contrary, she seemed to rely on this warmth to warm her hands.

Sitting opposite her, the King of Han had a panoramic view of all this, and he reached out to touch the teacup himself, and frowned when he felt the temperature of the tea.Looking up again, it's not difficult to find that Ji Chang's face is too pale, even his lips are pale, and a little less bloody: "How have you been these two years, why do you look weaker and weaker? !"

Ji Chang was not surprised by his blunt words. He took a sip of the hot tea and said: "I am born weak, and I can't make up for it even if I want to. I can live to this day, it is already Hou The government has worked so hard, how can we ask for more?"

The King of Han stopped talking, he stared at the young man opposite him, feeling a little sad in his heart.

The two met each other in the old days, Ji Chang had never been to Beijing, so naturally the King of Han had been to Northern Xinjiang - he is a prince, but his mother is inferior, so he is not valued by the emperor.If it weren't for the fact that the sequence teeth are still in the front, I'm afraid that I will live as a poor little neglected person in the palace.However, not ignoring it is not necessarily a good thing, so as early as seven years ago, the King of Han was sent by the emperor to practice in the northern border army.

It is said to be experience, but in fact it is just another kind of exile.The king of Han stayed in northern Xinjiang for five years, and the court ignored him. In the end, he accumulated military achievements year after year, and Marquis Wu'an recorded a penny in the battle report, which made him return to Beijing to become king. Chance.

The King of Han's current situation is not too good, he is just leading an idle job in Beijing.The military power is almost untouchable, and I have to be trembling every day. Perhaps it is not as good as living freely in northern Xinjiang during those five years.But fortunately, he is a person who can stick to his heart, and he has never lost contact with his old acquaintances in northern Xinjiang in the past two years after returning to Beijing. This is the reason why Ji Chang met him in private today.

Now seeing the old partner getting weaker and weaker, thinking about how much time she has left, the King of Han is naturally sad.

Taking a sip of the tea poured by his friend, the King of Han squeezed the teacup and said, "There is no way for you to go on like this. It is better to ask the imperial physician for a diagnosis and treatment. I will ask the imperial physician, you don't have to worry about this matter."

The reason why it is necessary to use it is naturally not something that can be done easily.Although the status of the two is noble, no one dares to refuse when they go to the Imperial Hospital, but Ji Chang is born with a deficiency, and the Hou Mansion has been seeking medical treatment for many years to no avail.Nowadays, even if you are an imperial physician, you have to go directly to the imperial physician order with the best skills in the imperial hospital. This is not someone who can be hired simply by status.

The most direct way is to ask for a grace from the emperor.However, the two of them knew well that the emperor would not give this kind of grace—there were too many soldiers and horses in the northern border, and the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was too powerful.

Ji Chang was well aware of these things, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "No need, if you can't ask for it, why bother?"

The king of Han felt even more sad when he heard this, and unexpectedly remembered what he had heard in the palace two days ago.Of course he knew the origin of Ji Chang's marriage contract, and also understood the emperor's intentions, but hearing that such an uneasy woman was allotted to his family friend, he felt very suffocated.

Thinking of this, the King of Han couldn't hide his words in front of those close to him, so he asked, "Ah Chang, you came back to Beijing this time to fulfill your marriage contract, but your marriage...what do you think now?"

Ji Chang didn't think too much, holding the teacup and said calmly, "I don't know."

The King of Han frowned when he heard this, and said bluntly: "Such a woman is not suitable for you, it is better to retire this marriage."

Of course Ji Chang knew that it was better to withdraw the engagement, but with the current situation, everyone knew that it was better to withdraw the engagement.Even at this point, even if she didn't want to call off the engagement, she had to express her opinion - the matter between Zhao Shuxuan and Xu Changqing was too much, if she didn't respond at this time, it would be too abnormal.Not to mention the lack of youthful blood, I'm afraid that with the emperor's paranoia, she has to suspect her forbearance.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then Ji Chang said: "I also want to withdraw from this marriage, but it was decided by His Majesty before. No matter what I do now, I have slapped him in the face. So the speed of this is still It has to be grasped.”

Hearing what she said, the King of Han breathed a sigh of relief.He has been in northern Xinjiang for many years, almost watching Ji Chang grow up, so he naturally knows that she is a little mature.When I was young, I liked to keep things to myself, but now I am afraid that I can bear it even more.But how can marriage be settled for a while?I'm afraid that if he endures every day and all the time, he will suffocate this weak friend to death!

Now that Ji Chang said that he was going to resign, King Han's brows relaxed, and he persuaded her: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to express your attitude when the time comes." He lowered his voice slightly, and said: "I'm going to Hearing about this in the palace two days ago, His Majesty already knew about Zhao Qi. He was also angry at that time, and I must have felt disgust in his heart, so we won’t make things difficult for you.”

It is a kindness for the emperor to be a matchmaker, but if you really want to marry an insignificant person, and you can't even do the most basic face-saving, then it is not a kindness but a disgusting person.No matter how loyal a courtier is, I am afraid that such a thing will be unbearable, and the emperor will not lose his mind and destroy the Great Wall himself.

Retirement is a matter of time, but the process can't be said for the time being, and the follow-up can't be said.

Ji Chang nodded and said yes, his brows and eyes were still light, he didn't feel happy or sad because of this matter, as if he didn't care about it at all.

The king of Han couldn't help but say to her: "This is a major matter for your marriage, why don't you look like you don't care about it at all?"

Ji Chang's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly.Where is she not caring, she is simply too caring, okay?The development of the matter has exceeded her expectations. The original Zhao Shuxuan is fine. Although she has never met her, she has collected a lot of information about her over the years and knows her somewhat.But she can change the candidate, and it is still an unknown candidate. How she will deal with it needs to be considered in the long run.

Tired of thinking about all this, Ji Chang didn't know what to think, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness thinks, if my engagement is withdrawn, who will His Majesty choose as the top?"

"This..." The King of Han was dumbfounded, he never knew much about noble ladies in Beijing.

After Ji Chang asked, he also felt that he had asked the wrong person, and when he put his hand on his forehead, he finally showed a helpless look.

Seeing her like this, the king of Han was worried and somehow found it funny.Maybe it's because Ji Chang is his good friend, and at the same time he watched him grow up, so his mood is more complicated.He coughed lightly and said: "Otherwise, I will ask the princess to find out who are the noble girls of the right age in Beijing? Zuo just chose among these people."

Ji Chang had no intention of looking for a needle in a haystack, so he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, has your Highness been doing well in the past two years in Beijing?" Without waiting for King Han to say anything, she said again: "I think it seems to be counted. It’s not good, it’s not as good as being in northern Xinjiang.”

The king of Han fell silent when he heard the words, and the smile on his face faded away.

****************************************************************************

After a meeting with the King of Han, the two of them didn't get along for a long time, after all, they needed to avoid suspicion just in case.

It was Chang Ming who went out with Ji Chang today, he was not as gossiping as Chang Qing, but it was about Shi Zi's wife, on the way home he still asked: "Shi Zi, do you need me to check these noble ladies in Beijing again? "

Ji Chang was walking on the road, waving his hands indifferently, his figure was thin but tall and straight: "Why waste effort."

The Marquis of Wu'an is far away in the northern border, and it is so low-key in Beijing that it is almost invisible, but this does not mean that the Marquis's house has no power in Beijing.At least there is still a Hou Mansion here, at least those people who are bright and dark in this Hou Mansion still have to use it...

Therefore, when Ji Chang returned to Beijing from northern Xinjiang, he seemed to know nothing about Beijing, but in fact, she already knew what she wanted to know.

Including the situation in Beijing, including Duke Cheng'en's mansion, including Zhao Shuxuan.Even including her personal affair with Xu Changqing, she knew about it earlier and more than Qiao Yue!

The reason why he is at ease is just because he has a well-thought-out plan.

Walking on the road, the bright sunshine above her head slanted down, falling on Ji Chang's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, as if adding a layer of brilliance to her.The drooping eyelashes not only blocked the too dazzling sunlight, but also suppressed all the redundant emotions in her eyes—maybe she was wrong, and it was better to wait and see what happened than to completely escape her control like now.

Ji Chang stretched out his hand, his white and slender palm was clean, so soft that it didn't even have a callus.The sun shines on it, and the fingertips are almost transparent white, but no one can imagine the power contained in this hand.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ji Chang (non-concerned): Anyway, the engagement is getting divorced, whoever it is, I'll find out when someone decides.

Qiao Yue (excited self-recommendation): Me, me, how about me, I don't need you to find excuses, I promise to be obedient!

Ji Chang (...): No, no appointment, I can't afford to provoke you!

PS: Don't treat Shizi as a bun, she is stuffed with sesame seeds, and don't treat her as a weak and pitiful little girl
