Said teasingly. "I'm afraid I can eat it until next year."
Qin Yan and Ji Xiamo laughed and went upstairs. Qin Yan had already arranged the best room, the charcoal stove in the room for incense, tea sets and mattresses, etc. Everything that Ji Xiamo might use was ready.
After Ji Xiamo was seated, Qin Yan waved to Ji Yikui, "Xiao Kui, come and sit next to Brother Yan."
Ji Yikui sat down next to Qin Yan, with a cute and sweet smile. "Thank you brother Yan."
The drama in Lilefang has already started, "The Legend of the Red Pavilion" is about the lingering love drama in the snowy night.
After drinking half a cup of hot tea to warm up his body, Ji Xiamo leaned in front of the table and looked at the stage downstairs and said, "How are you in the palace recently."
Ji Xiamo was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect Qin Yan to sigh heavily and frown, "How can the errands in the palace be so easy."
"But there's something tricky."
"I told you that Concubine Mei is pregnant, and the emperor was very happy because of this. He once promised that if Concubine Mei gave birth to a dragon son, she would be crowned a noble concubine. But just a few days ago, Concubine Mei was startled by a wild cat and fell down at night. As a result, the child was gone. .” Qin Yan lowered his voice. "It is said that he is an unformed prince."
Ji Xiamo frowned, "The inner courtyard of the palace is also the concubine's bedroom, where are the wild cats?"
"Who knows." Qin Yan handed the peeled chestnuts to Ji Yikui, and continued chatting with Ji Xiamo. "The emperor was furious, and bloodbathed Concubine Mei's chambers, beheading all the serving maids and eunuchs."
Ji Xiamo held the teacup thoughtfully, and Qin Yan continued to pour bitter water, "The emperor wants to thoroughly investigate this matter. Concubine Mei has been crying all day since she had a miscarriage, and she fell ill and stayed in the bedroom. The inexplicable wild cat in the middle of the night, how is this going to happen?" check."
"The secrets of the royal palace are always difficult to resolve, so don't interfere with them," Ji Xiamo instructed.
Qin Yan patted his chest boldly, and his hearty smile was still the stupid cuteness Ji Xiamo was familiar with. "How could I be stupid enough to go into this muddy water, you can rest assured."
"The Legend of the Red Pavilion" sang the parting of life and death, and there were already emotional girls quietly wiping away tears off the stage.Ji Xiamo watched quietly, as if he was just an outsider.
Qin Yan added hot water to Ji Xiamo, and continued to gossip with Ji Xiamo incessantly. "There was a lot of excitement in the hall the day before yesterday."
"Which girl promised to whose son, or which one was dismissed and ransacked?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm not joking with you." Qin Yan rolled his eyes. "It's not the end of the year. There will be a palace banquet in the palace. According to royal rules, the emperor will bring the prince and concubines to worship the ancestors."
"This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites."
"In previous years, the emperor would order the prince to assist, but the prince was injured when he was riding a horse a few days ago. Isn't this vacancy available?"
"The prince was also injured when he was riding a horse?" Ji Xiamo frowned, remembering that Qingyi came to visit the mansion yesterday and said that the third king, Feng Yelan, was also injured when he was riding a horse. Could it be related.
"The third prince and the crown prince were both injured in the horse race. The third prince was luckier with only a skin injury, but the crown prince suffered a muscle injury." Qin Yan shook his head. "The person to assist the Ministry of Rites is currently vacant. The third prince and the fifth prince are arguing in the court over this matter, and there is still no result yet."
'Is the battle for the heir apparent already so intense? ' Ji Xiamo murmured in his heart.
"Yesterday the emperor asked me what I think about this matter, and I broke out in a cold sweat, so I could only pass it vaguely in the end." Qin Yan sighed.
"You handled it well." Ji Xiamo said with a serious expression. "Qin Yan, remember, the palace guards only serve the emperor, no matter how turbulent the court is, you must never get involved."
"I understand." Qin Yan lowered his eyelids and his voice was a little low. "I will not be attached to any party in the chaos of kings seizing their heirs."
Seeing Qin Yan's steady and sharp expression, Ji Xiamo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He actually forgot that Qin Yan had also grown up, and he was no longer the willful young man he was back then.
"If you don't know how to deal with something, just come to me for help." Ji Xiamo ordered after thinking about it.
Qin Yan grinned stupidly, "Naturally, we are good brothers."
After listening to the play at Lilefang, it was already sunset, Ji Xiamo refused Qin Yan's escort, and left alone in a carriage to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As the night covered the last light, Ji Xiamo ordered Aoki to send the sleeping Ji Yikui back to Su Jingyao, and returned to Meiyuan alone.
In the dark night covered with snow and ice, plum blossoms were in full bloom. Ji Xiamo dragged her sick and blind body in the plum forest. The bright red of the plum blossoms complemented Ji Xiamo's pale complexion and weak and misty breath.
Ji Xiamo plucked off a branch of plum blossom and stared at it for a long time, then looked up at the night sky, half a waning moon in the dark clouds, the moonlight was cold and lonely.
Ji Xiamo strolled under the plum tree, as if trying to retrieve her past memories.The cold wind blows the plum forest, and the falling snow and plum blossoms fall all over the body, bringing a icy chill.
Ji Xiamo suddenly leaned against a plum tree, coughing heart-rendingly, his frail body trembling violently, as fragile as plum blossoms falling in the snow.
"Xia Mo!" Lou Yin appeared next to Ji Xiamo and supported him, with imperceptible distress in his indifferent eyes.
Ji Xiamo leaned against the plum tree and knelt weakly on the ground, his face pale as if transparent.The bony fingers tightly clutched the branch of plum blossom, with a dazed expression. "Lou Yin, is he not coming back?"
Lou Yin "..."
"Can't wait..."
"He'll be back soon, you have to hold on." Lou Yin firmly held Ji Xiamo's shoulder, forcing Ji Xiamo to look at him. "Hold on, wait for him."
Ji Xiamo looked at Lou Yin in dismay, tears slowly streaming from his eyes. "Does he not know that I'm waiting for him, why hasn't he come back?"
Ji Xiamo tugged on Lou Yin's sleeve and sobbed, Lou Yin didn't dare to touch his thin body, as if he just had to be rough, and Ji Xiamo would disappear into the blood-red plum grove.
'Ji Xiamo, I hate it when you cry for another man in front of me. '
'However, I can only watch and accompany. '
'Because now, the only proof of your bond with him is me. '
"Ji Xiamo, you are my retribution..."
[Text Episode 144 Letter from Chu Lingyou]
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the deserted Meiyuan became more lively, Ji Yikui clamored to help Ji Xiamo's Meiyuan hang lanterns, Ji Xiamo asked the servants to watch out for her to fall, and then let her make trouble.
Outside the window, plum blossoms are dotted in the ice and snow like rouge, reflecting the green bamboo in front of the porch, which is quite interesting.
Ji Xiamo was sitting in front of the writing desk by the window, dipping the talisman brush in his hand with finely divided Zhusha, copying the talismans from the heavenly scriptures.Xu Shi was restless, and lost half a plate of cinnabar, but only a few talismans were formed.
"To draw a talisman requires full concentration." Lou Yin leaned against the window, the silver thread in his palm bound Ji Xiamo's talisman pen.
Ji Xiamo stared at the yellow talisman for a while, then put down the talisman pen and sighed. "The palace banquet is approaching, but the uneasiness is getting worse."
"It's inconvenient for mundane practitioners to mix their hands." Lou Yin's expression was indifferent.
Ji Xiamo picked up the cinnabar and rubbed it on her fingertips, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she didn't smile, "Lou Yin has nothing to worry about in this world, but I have a lot of ties. Although I want to be free and wild, I can't help but keep messing around."
Lou Yin raised his eyelids, looking at Ji Xiamo's gentle profile, a strange color flashed in his eyes. 'If he really had nothing to worry about, how could he be willing to stay here. '
"My father is in the prime minister, so how can he be alone in the battle of seizing the heirloom." Ji Xiamo said worriedly while holding a cup of cold tea. "Thinking about the bloody conquest in the annals of history, I feel more and more frightened."
"Feng Lingchen is the prince." Lou Yin vaguely wanted to comfort Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo let out a sarcastic laugh from his throat, "The royal family is treacherous and sinister. The new emperor ascends the throne, which one is not stepping on corpses? Feng Lingchen has a gentle temperament and is not good at planning. He usually likes to play with words. If he is cruel, I guess Feng Yufei is stronger than him." .”
"You have to rely on the party." Lou Yin asked.
"I don't intend to get entangled among them. It has nothing to do with me who can sit on the throne." Ji Xiamo's expression was indifferent.
"Brother." Ji Yikui stood outside the window holding a lantern to show Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo looked at Ji Yikui with a gentle smile, "It's so pretty."
"I'll hang it in front of the porch so that the Meiyuan won't be dark at night." Ji Yikui smiled sweetly.
"It's cold in the snow, be careful not to freeze." Ji Xiamo handed the pastry on the plate to Ji Yikui, and Ji Yikui ate a piece of pastry, shaking her head with a smile.
"My lord." Aoki came in to salute, then took out the letterhead and handed it to Ji Xiamo. "There is a letter from the young master."
After receiving the letter from Aoki, Ji Xiamo waved Aoki to leave.The handwriting on the sealed letterhead is sharp, with a hidden murderous aura at the end of the words. 'Ji Xiamo kisses'
"This is Chu Lingyou's handwriting." Ji Xiamo was surprised.
Three years ago, Chu Lingyou sent a letter asking Ji Xiamo to find the missing Fang Linjun.Ji Xiamo drew a tracking talisman and presented it to Chu Lingyou. Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know why Chu Lingyou wrote this letter.
Ji Xiamo opened the letter in doubt, and looked at what was mentioned in Chu Lingyou's letter, his expression gradually changed from surprise to smile.
After not seeing Ji Xiamo's real smile for a long time, Lou Yin walked up to Ji Xiamo and asked, "What did you say in the letter?"
"Chu Lingyou chases his wife in the rivers and lakes, and lovers will eventually get married." Ji Xiamo put the letter away with a smile. "After the new year, Chu Lingyou will bring Fang Lin Jun to visit me in the imperial city."
"It's so good." Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun are Ji Xiamo's friends, and their coming to the imperial city should be beneficial to Ji Xiamo's condition.
After the ranking of the Jianghu list, there is no gold list after the reorganization of the Jianghu.Wuyougu Fangle Pavilion Jianghu was removed from the rivers and lakes. Although Li Jiumen Si Fu Jing's injuries had healed, his mood was not as good as before, as if he had suddenly aged a lot. Li Jiumen is now in charge of Si Yue.
Chu Lingyou's tactics were ruthless, and he expanded his power to control the Jianghu in a short period of time. Now that the Jianghu is unified, the entire Jianghu is firmly in the palm of Chu Lingyou's hands, and everyone in the Jianghu follows Chu Lingyou's lead.
Although he knew that Chu Lingyou was hiding his clumsiness, he didn't know that he was hiding his strength and bide his time like this.Ji Xiamo was astonished by Chu Lingyou's ruthless decision, like a hungry wolf suddenly taking off its sheepskin and revealing its ferocious fangs.
Even though Chu Lingyou was treacherous and deceitful, Ji Xiamo had no intention of revenge.Chu Lingyou has already controlled the Jianghu with great power, and even though Chu Lingyou pretended to be crazy and foolish when they met, Ji Xiamo knew that Chu Lingyou sincerely regarded him as a brother.
Everyone has lies and secrets, and he often deceives others. Although he was a little angry at Chu Lingyou's concealment, he would not part ways with Chu Lingyou.
Officers and soldiers were only allowed to set fires and the common people were not allowed to light lamps. Ji Xiamo didn't feel that he was special. Friends and brothers were friends, and no one was superior to the other.
Ji Xiamo stared out the window in a daze, and suddenly said in silence, "Do you know where Yin Li is?"
Lou Yin was slightly taken aback, Ji Xiamo's question made him a little at a loss.After Mo Tu's attack on Li Jiumen, Ji Xiamo never mentioned Yin Li again. Lou Yin didn't know whether Ji Xiamo resented Yin Li for concealing Mo Tu's existence, but since this matter was Ji Xiamo's taboo, Lou Yin also I don't want to ask.
"After I woke up from a serious injury, Yin Li's contract with me was terminated." Ji Xiamo's expression was flat, as if talking about other people's affairs.
"It should be forced to break the contract." Lou Yin replied indifferently, paying attention to Ji Xiamo's expression.
"What are the consequences?"
"Yin Li's body was severely injured, and he recovered his ethereal body again." Lou Yin withdrew his gaze and expressed a cold expression. "It's her own fault, don't need to think about it."
Yin Li knew that Mo Tu's intentions were for Jin Wuji, but he still deliberately concealed it.To say that Xia Mo, the resentful concubine, did exist, if Yin Li could tell the truth, maybe he and Jin Wuji would not part ways.
He regards Yin Li as a close friend, but Yin Li hurts him the most.But thinking about it, Mo Tu is her obsession to become a charm, and I have only known Yin Li for half a year, so I understand Yin Li's choice intellectually, but I cannot forgive him emotionally.
According to the conversation between Yin Li and Mo Tu that day, Ji Xiamo could already guess some reasons.Mo Tu and Yin Li used to be husband and wife, but Mo Tu betrayed her, Yin Li lost the fetus in her womb, and finally died of hatred.
But Mo Tu's vague feelings for Yin Li, and Yin Li's obsession with Mo Tu for thousands of years, there must be something hidden in it.
After the elegant and quiet Meiyuan is decorated by Ji Yikui, the garden is full of lanterns and satins like a conventional wedding room.After Ji Yikui left with his servants, Aoki asked Ji Xiamo's opinion on restoring the Meiyuan to its original state. Ji Xiamo asked Aoki to remove the silk and satin, and keep the lanterns.
Ji Yikui was busy decorating it for a long time. If Ji Xiamo really demolished it all, it would probably hurt Ji Yikui's heart.
After lunch, Ji Xiamo just lay down to rest, when Aoki quietly entered the room with the invitation.Ji Xiamo was a light sleeper, and opened his eyes when he heard Aoki enter the room. "What's up?"
Seeing the tiredness in Ji Xiamo's eyes, Aoki secretly annoyed the person who sent the post. "Young Master, Prince Zhongyi sent you a post. King Zhongyi invited you to the Prince's Palace for a leisurely gathering."
’ What did King Zhongyi ask him to do. Ji Xiamo frowned slightly. Although he has friendship with Zombie City, since he returned to the imperial city, he has rarely met with King Zhongyi.
In the first two years, he was weak and difficult to meet guests. Although he got better later on, King Zhongyi had a noble status. Although he was appreciated by the emperor, he was just an ordinary white-clothed man with no official position. If King Zhongyi made friends with him, it would inevitably attract people suspicion.Now King Zhongyi suddenly asked him what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Ji Xiamo was suspicious, pondered for a moment and said, "Order the carriage, and I'll get up."
"Yes!"
There are countless silks and satins in Ji Xiamo's closet. This time when he went to see King Zhongyi, Ji Xiamo only chose a plain Tsing Yi robe, and the blue silk was tied up with peach blossom and white jade hairpins, giving him a gentle and elegant temperament.
Ji Ye was still discussing state affairs with the emperor in the palace. After Ji Xiamo informed Su Jingyao, he left the mansion by car and went to the Zhongyi Palace.
On the way, Ji Xiamo imagined countless reasons, but still couldn't figure out King Zhongyi's intention.Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Lou Yin comforted him, "Don't be afraid if you have me."
"I'm not afraid that he will harm me, I'm only afraid that he will ask for something." Ji Xiamo said helplessly.
King Zhongyi is upright and cautious, and has always been reluctant to get involved in imperial power struggles.The battle for the heir apparent has already begun, and according to King Zhongyi's temper, he shouldn't get involved.
But in Zombie City, Feng Shaojin was kind to King Zhongyi, and Feng Shaojin was Feng Lingchen's backup. I'm afraid that even if King Zhongyi didn't participate in any faction that seized the heir apparent, he would still favor Feng Shaojin in his heart.
If Feng Yelan thinks that King Zhongyi is a gangster, if he gets close to King Zhongyi, he will probably get burned.
Hesitating in his heart, he came to Prince Zhongyi's mansion. There were already guards waiting outside the mansion. Ji Xiamo followed the guards into the mansion. When he saw King Zhongyi, Ji Xiamo instantly suppressed all the emotions he showed, and put on a decent smile on his face.
"Grassman Ji Xiamo see King Zhongyi." Ji Xiamo cupped her hands and wanted to kneel.
King Zhongyi raised his hand to help him, and smiled brightly, "Since there is no outsider Xia Mo, there is no need to be polite. If you are weak, sit down quickly."
Ji Xiamo thanked King Zhongyi with a nod, looked past the guard Ye Yi, and nodded slightly.The corner of Ye Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he bowed his hands in salute.
After Zombie City, Ye Yiyi sincerely respected Ji Xiamo.Although he was in awe of Ji Xiamo's practice of Qimen Dunjia, he admired him from the bottom of his heart because Ji Xiamo solved the case as a god, was fair and honest.
After Ji Xiamo sat down, King Zhongyi poured tea himself, "I heard that you were sick again a few days ago, but you've gotten better recently."
"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Xia Mo is fine." Ji Xiamo took the tea with both hands.
"There is a ginseng rewarded by the emperor in my palace, and I will order someone to take it for you later."
Ji Xiamo paused for a moment while drinking tea, and then said respectfully, "Thank you, my lord, Xia Mo, but this ginseng is precious, Xia Mo..."
"What's the value?" King Zhongyi raised his hand to interrupt Ji Xiamo's unfinished words. "It's useless for me to eat it. If you're sick, I'll take it for your health."
It would be hypocritical to evade, Ji Xiamo pondered for a moment and cupped his hands and said, "In this case, Xia Mo thanked the prince here."
Looking at the famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, Ji Xiamo drank the tea in the cup and said, "My lord has sent a message to invite Xia Mo to the palace. I don't know if there is something wrong."
"Drinking tea and enjoying the snow, do you have to ask for something?" King Zhongyi pointed to the snow scene outside the window.
Ji Xiamo said with a faint smile, "Xia Mo is nothing but ordinary white clothes, so King Zhongyi suddenly sent me a post, so I can't help but feel a little panicked."
"That's not true." King Zhongyi looked at Ji Xiamo with a smile. "Back in the Chenzhou case, you, a weird little monkey, didn't bother the old man much."
When King Zhongyi mentioned the past events in Zombie City, Ji Xiamo's expression froze, and his hand holding the teacup tightened slightly. "Xia Mo was young and presumptuous, offended the prince."
"I don't blame you for offending me. The world has been changed for many years, and people have changed." King Zhongyi got up with hot tea and walked to the window, looking at the snow scene in the courtyard with emotion.
"The imperial city is changing, people's hearts are unpredictable, even you will be reborn." King Zhongyi smiled lightly. "Compared to the tight-knit Young Master Ji today, this king still likes the lawless and wanton young man back then."
Ji Xiamo bowed his head and sipped his tea without saying a word. King Zhongyi looked back at Ji Xiamo and said with a smile, "Did this king scare you by suddenly posting a invitation to you?"
Ji Xiamo opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and his instinct told him that it was best not to talk to King Zhongyi at this time.
King Zhongyi walked up to Ji Xiamo and sat down, "This time I invite you here just for tea, I don't ask for anything."
Ji Xiamo was stunned, looked up at King Zhongyi and said for a while, "My lord misunderstood, Xia Mo..."
"This king knows what you are thinking. After all, this king also came out of the palace." King Zhongyi's expression suddenly became serious. "No matter how chaotic the imperial city is, this king will not interfere with your choice."
Ji Xiamo looked at King Zhongyi's cold expression and nodded slightly. "Yes, Xia Mo understands."
King Zhongyi poured tea to Ji Xiamo, lost his seriousness and returned to kindness, "Besides drinking tea this time, I have something else to tell you."
"Let's talk about the prince if you have something to do."
"The palace banquet is approaching, and the virtuous king of Huyin City will arrive in the imperial city tomorrow."
"!!!" Ji Xiamo.
[Text Episode 145 Palace Banquet]
Ji Xiamo went to the palace of Zhongyi to talk about wind, flowers, snow and moon, discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, admiring the snow and watching the scenery and the fragrance of tea, and the conversation did not involve the situation of the court from the beginning to the end.
The next day, the virtuous king of Huxing City entered the city. The leader of the virtuous king rode a majestic horse, accompanied by nearly a hundred guards, who were powerful and arrogant.
As the virtuous king entered the city, the dark situation in the imperial city became more and more turbulent. Feng Shaojin came to visit, and Ji Xiamo shirked the relapse of the old illness and thanked the guests behind closed doors.
The post for the New Year's Palace Banquet has been sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Jingyao carefully selected the imperial gift silks and satins to make some new clothes for Ji Xiamo to wear for the palace banquet.
Ji Xiamo leaned against the stove and flipped through the chess records. Unfortunately, he was not talented enough, and holding the only handed down chess records was also a leisure book when he was bored.
The camellia bloomed in the palm of Lou Yin, twisted it and put it into Ji Xiamo's medicine pot.Ji Xiamo put down the chess record and looked outside the room in thought.
Aoki entered the courtyard, followed by the servants of Su Jingyao's courtyard. "My lord, these are the costumes for tomorrow's palace banquet, please choose your lord."
Ji Xiamo looked over and saw that the exquisite and colorful costumes were noble and gorgeous. Ji Xiamo frowned slightly, pointing to a plain green brocade robe and said, "Keep this one."
Aoki hesitated, "Is the color too plain?"
"The New Year's Palace banquet means reunion, not to mention that I am no longer a teenager, why wear such bright colors."
Ji Xiamo's expression was scolding, Aoki didn't dare to disobey, so he had to obey the order, "Yes."
Waved to send Aoki away, Ji Xiamo's eyes were full of melancholy.Lou Yin walked to Ji Xiamo's side, "Why are you worried?"
"The virtuous king enters the city, and his intentions are hard to distinguish between good and evil." Ji Xiamo frowned. "I have heard about the King Xian. The emperor's brothers and sisters stayed away from the imperial city after ascending the throne and guarded the border city of Huxin."
"Although he has the title of virtuous, the virtuous king is actually bloody and brutal, and he seems to want to covet the throne. The virtuous king has entrusted the land of Huan City, and holds tens of thousands of soldiers. Now that the imperial city is chaotic, he may enter the city with bad intentions. .”
"Who ascends to the throne has nothing to do with you, if you are always so worried, I am afraid that your illness will not recover." Lou Yin's expression was indifferent.
"Tomorrow's palace banquet will be extremely dangerous." Ji Xiamo sighed softly.
(second day)
Ji Xiamo stood in front of the porch and looked at the falling snowflakes. Thinking of the prosperity of the modern capital, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt sad.
He hadn't thought about this for a long time, and the modern things seemed to gradually fade away with time, maybe one day he would just be Ji Xiamo, the son of the prime minister's mansion of the dynasty, and there would be no trace of the prince of the Long family in the capital city.
The fate of the family and his personal fate are all controlled by the ruthless imperial power.Victory is king and defeat is bandit, what will be the fate of the Ji family when the storm is settled?
The ice and snow in Ji Xiamo's palm melted, and crystal drops of water slid down between her fingers.The imperial city is full of dangers, and there is no one to rely on behind the lonely and sad.
"My lord, the carriages and horses for the palace banquet are ready." Qingmu Langxia reminded Ji Xiamo softly.
Ji Xiamo stared at the withered grass in front of the bluestone steps, as if she had never heard of it.Aoki hesitated for a moment, then slightly accentuated his voice. "It's cold in the snow, young master, take care of your body."
Ji Xiamo glanced at the worried Aoki, tightened his cloak and said, "Let's go."
Ji Ye had arrived outside the prime minister's residence, and Ji Xiamo nodded slightly, "Father."
Ji Ye looked at the weak Ji Xiamo, and sighed softly, "Hurry up and get on the carriage, don't freeze."
Five years ago, Ji Xiamo was seriously injured and returned home. He was in a coma all day and almost died.
Ji Xiamo managed to survive, but the root cause of the disease was hidden behind. Every time he got sick, he seemed to have to go to the palace of the king of hell.
Over the years, Ji Xiamo has become thinner and weaker, so he is not as energetic as before.Ji Xiamo was in unbearable pain, and Ji Ye couldn't sleep at night.
Ji Xiamo once teased that Ji Ye was the leader of the Ji family, but after waking up from nightmares countless times in the middle of the night, Ji Ye secretly went to Meiyuan to make sure that Ji Xiamo was still alive, and then hid in a corner to wipe away tears.
Ji Xiamo got into the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Ji Ye.Ji Ye often secretly went to see him in Meiyuan, and Ji Xiamo knew about it. He always pretended to be very energetic, but he didn't want Ji Ye to worry.
Ji Ye has just passed the age of forty, but he is already in the twilight of his age. Ji Xiamo is full of guilt and no longer disobeys Ji Ye. As long as Ji Ye says, he will obediently listen.
However, the more well-behaved and sensible Ji Xiamo was, the more distressed Ji Ye became, and he never forced Ji Xiamo to do anything.
The carriage was driving on the streets of the imperial city, and Ji Xiamo was leaning on a soft pillow to meditate, and beside him was Lou Yin who was living in thrush.
The long and slender fingers were so thin that only bones remained, and the delicate skin was morbidly pale, so weak that one could see the bones and tendons.
Ji Xiamo stared at her hands deeply, and said suddenly, "I used to laugh at the uselessness of scholars, but now I am not even as good as a scholar without hands."
"How can mortals compare with you." Lou Yin closed his eyes and said.
"You once said that the seal of the soul is in harmony with me, and that monsters are afraid of practicing, and practice is twice the result with half the effort. You can save me only by the seal of the soul to keep my soul alive."
Lou Yin looked at Ji Xiamo, "That's right, your soul is intact, you just need to rest your body."
Ji Xiamo touched the animal seal behind his ear, and murmured softly, "If Brother Jin has the seal of the soul, maybe he can be saved?"
Lou Yin's eyes were sharp, and his aura was instantly cold and piercing. "No way."
"I just mentioned it casually, don't get angry."
"The seal of the soul is fused with you, so there is no reason to take it out. The seal of the soul is a magic weapon for recognizing the master." Knowing Ji Xiamo's temper, Lou Yin's tone was decisive, leaving no hope for Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo's eyes darkened, and he whispered to himself, "It would be great if brother Jin didn't give me the seal of the soul seal."
"If you hadn't sealed the soul seal, you would have been out of your wits." Lou Yin said coldly.
'He's better off now than out of his wits. Ji Xiamo closed her eyes and stopped talking.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, Ji Xiamo sharply opened his eyes, and Aoki approached the carriage and said, "My lord, it's the third prince's sedan chair."
Ji Xiamo lifted the curtain of the car and saw Ji Ye saluting Feng Yelan, as if sensing Ji Xiamo's gaze, Feng Yelan looked sideways.
Meeting Feng Yelan's calm and indifferent eyes, Ji Xiamo nodded calmly and got up to get out of the car. "Horse carriages are prohibited in the palace, and you must walk after entering the palace."
It was cold and snowy on the road, and Aoki was worried about Ji Xiamo's body, but there were rules in the palace, so Aoki had to help Ji Xiamo down.
Ji Xiamo walked towards Feng Yelan, bowed his hands and saluted, "Ji Xiamo sees the third prince and princess."
"I heard that Mr. Ji's old illness relapsed a few days ago. I don't know if he is better now." Feng Yelan said.
A strange color flashed in Ji Xiamo's eyes. Over the years, he has often been ill. A few days ago, he just had a common cold. These princes are well-informed. "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. There is no serious problem."
"My king has been busy with year-end sacrifices recently, and I have never had time to visit the young master. Don't be surprised if I still hope."
"Ji Xiamo is a grass-roots person, the prince really offended me." Ji Xiamo said in panic.
"Xiaomo." Feng Shaojin came from the palace and saw Feng Yelan cupped his hands to say hello, "Third brother."
"See the Fifth Prince." Ji Xiamo saluted.
"I know you are weak, so I would like to ask my father to take you into the palace." Feng Shaojin motioned for the sedan chair behind her.
The emperor gave special approval, and the prince carried the sedan chair to welcome him. I'm afraid that if you sit on this sedan chair today, you will inevitably gossip and gossip in the future.
Ji Ye looked at Feng Yelan and Feng Shaojin, and was about to speak when Ji Xiamo suddenly interrupted. "Your Majesty is considerate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people here kowtow to thank the Emperor for long live." Ji Xiamo knelt down and kowtowed.
Feng Shaojin's expression was slightly stiff, a strange color flashed in Feng Yelan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised imperceptibly.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Ji Xiamo lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the majestic palace, feeling cold all over her body.There are two worlds separated by the red wall. The inside of this palace wall is heavy and cold, like a closed and gloomy prison, which makes people desperate and suffocating.
Feng Shaojin's sedan chair followed Ji Xiamo, Feng Shaojin looked at Ji Xiamo many times but hesitated to speak, Ji Xiamo put down the sedan chair curtain and pretended not to see it.
After nearly half an hour's journey, the sedan chair stopped in front of a courtyard, and Feng Shaojin got off the sedan chair and said to Ji Ye, "Prime Minister Ji, there is still some time before the palace banquet starts, Xiaomo is not in good health, how about letting him rest here first?" .”
Ji Ye looked at Ji Xiamo hesitantly. Although he didn't want Ji Xiamo to get close to these lords, he was also worried that Ji Xiamo's body could hold on.
Ji Xiamo smiled calmly, "Father, let's go first, I'm a little tired too."
When Ji Ye heard that Ji Xiamo was tired, he nodded decisively in agreement, "Then I will trouble the Fifth Prince."
Ji Ye followed the eunuch to the side hall, Feng Shaojin took Ji Xiamo into the courtyard, "This is the courtyard where I used to be when I was not out of the palace, and the maids clean it every day."
Ji Xiamo followed Feng Shaojin, quietly listening to Feng Shaojin tell interesting stories about her childhood.Feng Shaojin brought Ji Xiamo into the house, and the burning stove gradually warmed Ji Xiamo's body.
Feng Shaojin poured hot tea for Ji Xiamo, but he spoke dryly but Ji Xiamo couldn't speak, Feng Shaojin's voice gradually became softer, and then fell silent.
"Xiaomo, is there really only strangers between you and me?" Feng Shaojin's voice was lost.
Ji Xiamo looked at Feng Shaojin's appearance resembling his elder brother, but he was no longer as mistaken as before. "The fifth prince is serious, it's Xia Mo who dare not climb up."
"In the past, the imperial city was like a brother in solving crimes, and the rivers and lakes are dangerous, life and death. Now you tell me that you dare not climb high." Feng Shaojin was emotional. "You and I used to talk about drinking and laughing about the past and the present, what are those?"
"When you grow up, some things and people will naturally change." Ji Xiamo said indifferently, looking directly into Feng Shaojin's eyes.
"But I treat you sincerely." Feng Shaojin said.
"But this sincerity is no longer pure."
Feng Shaojin was stunned for a while, looking at the wind and snow in the courtyard absently, and said softly, "This is the fate of the royal family, I can't escape it."
Seeing the sadness that flickered in Feng Shaojin's eyes, Ji Xiamo felt desolate.The young man who was once unrestrained, unrestrained, happy, and enmity has been buried in the passing time. Today, Feng Shaojin is a wild beast bound in a golden cage, and the only way to survive is to fight.
"I haven't forgotten anything, but I can't go back." Feng Shaojin has already participated in the seizure of the heir, and he has practiced Qimen Dunjia, so he must be the object they hope to win over.If you lean towards one of the factions, the entire Ji family will be wiped out if you are not careful.
Ji Xiamo got up and was about to leave, "Five kings, since the war has begun, the situation is unpredictable, and the winner and loser are at their own risk, so take care of yourself."
After Ji Xiamo said that, he left the courtyard. Presumably, the watchers outside should report back to their master, and it would be hard to explain if they stayed any longer.
He knew that Feng Shaojin had no intention of being the ninety-five lord, but he cared about too many people.
[Text Episode 146 Wisdom Solution Black Jade Panlong]
Snowflakes covered the skirts of her clothes and her hair turned white. Ji Xiamo was walking alone in the deep palace garden. Winter plums were red and charming, standing proudly in the snow, like clusters of red mist.
Ji Xiamo leaned tiredly in front of the corridor, pressing his chest to suppress his cough.Lou Yin coiled in silver thread and appeared, frowning, twisting the camellia and handing it to Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo smiled stupidly, staring at the camellia in his palm in a trance. "I'm getting more and more ruthless."
"Young Master Feng's fate is fixed, there is no need to worry about this common man." Lou Yin's voice was indifferent.
Ji Xiamo looked into the distance, with a faint melancholy shrouded in her brows. "I carefully calculated that I don't want to be involved in the struggle for succession, but how long I can stay alone."
"Observe fate and calculate to find the destined emperor, let Ji Ye assist him."
"Even if you know the outcome, so what, knowing the ending will still kill you, it will only add fear and sorrow." Ji Xiamo scooped up the snow from the wintersweet flowers in front of the porch, quietly watching the snow melt.
Lou Yin fiddled with his fingertips, and the snow melted and the camellias bloomed. "Ice and snow are bitingly cold and easy to hurt the body, and the fragrance of camellia is more suitable for you."
The corner of Ji Xiamo's mouth raised a faint smile, and he sniffed the camellia lightly. "Let's go."
Just as Ji Xiamo was about to leave the imperial garden for the palace banquet, he suddenly heard the melodious sound of flutes behind the wintersweet bushes. Ji Xiamo paused slightly, and hesitantly went around to check.
Wintersweet is in full bloom beside the gazebo, the face of the man in white is like snow and his momentum is indifferent, but the sound of the flute is sad and lonely.
'Sister Immortal' Ji Xiamo recalled in a trance the lonely and elegant young man she met in the palace many years ago, holding magnolias in her hands in the quiet palace garden.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Ji Xiamo looked back, and his eyes met the young man's cold and indifferent eyes.Looking at each other in the snow without saying a word, Ji Xiamo walked towards the young man and pushed the young man's wheelchair into the gazebo.
"It's cold and snowy in the twelfth lunar month, so the frostbite will be worse." Ji Xiamo said in a low voice.
The snow fell on the young man's shoulders, and the emerald dragon pattern flute was placed beside him, "Whose son are you?"
"Ji Xiamo, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Cao Min, pays his respects to the prince." Ji Xiamo bowed his hands and saluted.
The young man stopped for a moment, and looked at Ji Xiamo with a little doubt, "How do you know that I am a prince?"
Ji Xiamo smiled lightly, "That piece of magnolia is still in full bloom every year."
The young man thought for a moment, his indifferent eyes flashed, "Ji Xiamo, this king has seen you before."
Ji Xiamo nodded and said nothing, the young man looked at Ji Xiamo with his eyes, "Compared to the past, you seem to be much haggard."
"It's Xia Mo's blessing." Ji Xiamo didn't mention physical illness.
The young man turned the wheelchair and looked at the imperial garden. The plain white robe was thin, which made him more and more ethereal, as if he could melt away at any time like snow.
"My king is ranked fourth in the royal family, Feng Yishuang." The silent middle-aged young man suddenly said.
Ji Xiamo was a little stunned, and then said respectfully, "Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince, Feng Yishuang, the son of the late Concubine Lian, fell from the attic and broke his legs when he was young. He was raised in the deep palace without a mansion in the imperial city.
"It's time for the palace banquet, let's go." Feng Yishuang said calmly.
"Yes." Just as Ji Xiamo was about to leave, seeing Feng Yishuang's thin clothes, he hesitated to untie the cloak and put it on Feng Yishuang. "My lord, pay attention to your health, Xia Mo will leave."
Feng Yishuang's biological mother, Concubine Lian, died tragically in the cold palace. In the deep palace, the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. Feng Yishuang was afraid that it would be difficult.
Watching Ji Xiamo leave, Feng Yishuang tightened the cloak on her shoulders, staring at the wintersweet in the snow with absent-minded eyes.
Lou Yinxuan floated beside Ji Xiamo, his fingertips were coiled with silver threads, and the silver-gray cloak wrapped Ji Xiamo. "You still have the heart to cherish the beauty." Lou Yin's cold voice was vaguely angry.
Ji Xiamo's eyes were stained with a smile, "Feng Yishuang is somewhat similar to you."
Lou Yin was surprised, then turned around and sneered coldly, "Ordinary people, how can they be compared with this deity."
Reflecting the snow scene in the imperial garden, Lou Yin's white robe was gorgeously wrapped with silver threads, and his silver hair was floating in a desolate and noble manner.Compared with the ruthless and thin Liang when we first met, now Lou Yin has gained some popularity.
Ji Xiamo shook his head and smiled, "Lou Yin, you are so beautiful."
"You!" Lou Yin turned around with an angry look on his face.
Ji Xiamo looked back innocently, Lou Yin glared at Ji Xiamo for a while, turned around and left angrily, not daring to let Ji Xiamo see his slightly warm ears.
After teasing Lou Yinji, Xia Mo was in a good mood. In fact, besides Lou Yin's aloof and aloof temper, he was quite cute when he teased her occasionally.
When Ji Xiamo arrived at the inner hall of the palace banquet, the palace banquet was about to begin.Ji Xiamo sneaked up to sit next to Ji Ye, and said nothing to Ji Ye's question, so as not to worry Ji Ye.
Sitting in the inner hall of the palace again, the mood was not the same as before. Feng Yelan, Feng Shaojin, and Feng Yufei were all seated.
Feng Yufei's personality is irritable and impulsive, but he dares to speak up and do justice, but it's a pity how can he be innocent in the royal family, Ji Xiamo darkened his eyes.
When King Zhongyi entered the inner hall for a banquet, all the officials stood up to greet him. Ji Xiamo watched the hypocrisy of the officialdom with cold eyes. Those flattering smiles made him feel sick.
Everyone in the inner hall of the palace banquet is already seated, and Ji Xiamo is in the cup after drinking
Qin Yan and Ji Xiamo laughed and went upstairs. Qin Yan had already arranged the best room, the charcoal stove in the room for incense, tea sets and mattresses, etc. Everything that Ji Xiamo might use was ready.
After Ji Xiamo was seated, Qin Yan waved to Ji Yikui, "Xiao Kui, come and sit next to Brother Yan."
Ji Yikui sat down next to Qin Yan, with a cute and sweet smile. "Thank you brother Yan."
The drama in Lilefang has already started, "The Legend of the Red Pavilion" is about the lingering love drama in the snowy night.
After drinking half a cup of hot tea to warm up his body, Ji Xiamo leaned in front of the table and looked at the stage downstairs and said, "How are you in the palace recently."
Ji Xiamo was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect Qin Yan to sigh heavily and frown, "How can the errands in the palace be so easy."
"But there's something tricky."
"I told you that Concubine Mei is pregnant, and the emperor was very happy because of this. He once promised that if Concubine Mei gave birth to a dragon son, she would be crowned a noble concubine. But just a few days ago, Concubine Mei was startled by a wild cat and fell down at night. As a result, the child was gone. .” Qin Yan lowered his voice. "It is said that he is an unformed prince."
Ji Xiamo frowned, "The inner courtyard of the palace is also the concubine's bedroom, where are the wild cats?"
"Who knows." Qin Yan handed the peeled chestnuts to Ji Yikui, and continued chatting with Ji Xiamo. "The emperor was furious, and bloodbathed Concubine Mei's chambers, beheading all the serving maids and eunuchs."
Ji Xiamo held the teacup thoughtfully, and Qin Yan continued to pour bitter water, "The emperor wants to thoroughly investigate this matter. Concubine Mei has been crying all day since she had a miscarriage, and she fell ill and stayed in the bedroom. The inexplicable wild cat in the middle of the night, how is this going to happen?" check."
"The secrets of the royal palace are always difficult to resolve, so don't interfere with them," Ji Xiamo instructed.
Qin Yan patted his chest boldly, and his hearty smile was still the stupid cuteness Ji Xiamo was familiar with. "How could I be stupid enough to go into this muddy water, you can rest assured."
"The Legend of the Red Pavilion" sang the parting of life and death, and there were already emotional girls quietly wiping away tears off the stage.Ji Xiamo watched quietly, as if he was just an outsider.
Qin Yan added hot water to Ji Xiamo, and continued to gossip with Ji Xiamo incessantly. "There was a lot of excitement in the hall the day before yesterday."
"Which girl promised to whose son, or which one was dismissed and ransacked?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm not joking with you." Qin Yan rolled his eyes. "It's not the end of the year. There will be a palace banquet in the palace. According to royal rules, the emperor will bring the prince and concubines to worship the ancestors."
"This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites."
"In previous years, the emperor would order the prince to assist, but the prince was injured when he was riding a horse a few days ago. Isn't this vacancy available?"
"The prince was also injured when he was riding a horse?" Ji Xiamo frowned, remembering that Qingyi came to visit the mansion yesterday and said that the third king, Feng Yelan, was also injured when he was riding a horse. Could it be related.
"The third prince and the crown prince were both injured in the horse race. The third prince was luckier with only a skin injury, but the crown prince suffered a muscle injury." Qin Yan shook his head. "The person to assist the Ministry of Rites is currently vacant. The third prince and the fifth prince are arguing in the court over this matter, and there is still no result yet."
'Is the battle for the heir apparent already so intense? ' Ji Xiamo murmured in his heart.
"Yesterday the emperor asked me what I think about this matter, and I broke out in a cold sweat, so I could only pass it vaguely in the end." Qin Yan sighed.
"You handled it well." Ji Xiamo said with a serious expression. "Qin Yan, remember, the palace guards only serve the emperor, no matter how turbulent the court is, you must never get involved."
"I understand." Qin Yan lowered his eyelids and his voice was a little low. "I will not be attached to any party in the chaos of kings seizing their heirs."
Seeing Qin Yan's steady and sharp expression, Ji Xiamo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He actually forgot that Qin Yan had also grown up, and he was no longer the willful young man he was back then.
"If you don't know how to deal with something, just come to me for help." Ji Xiamo ordered after thinking about it.
Qin Yan grinned stupidly, "Naturally, we are good brothers."
After listening to the play at Lilefang, it was already sunset, Ji Xiamo refused Qin Yan's escort, and left alone in a carriage to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As the night covered the last light, Ji Xiamo ordered Aoki to send the sleeping Ji Yikui back to Su Jingyao, and returned to Meiyuan alone.
In the dark night covered with snow and ice, plum blossoms were in full bloom. Ji Xiamo dragged her sick and blind body in the plum forest. The bright red of the plum blossoms complemented Ji Xiamo's pale complexion and weak and misty breath.
Ji Xiamo plucked off a branch of plum blossom and stared at it for a long time, then looked up at the night sky, half a waning moon in the dark clouds, the moonlight was cold and lonely.
Ji Xiamo strolled under the plum tree, as if trying to retrieve her past memories.The cold wind blows the plum forest, and the falling snow and plum blossoms fall all over the body, bringing a icy chill.
Ji Xiamo suddenly leaned against a plum tree, coughing heart-rendingly, his frail body trembling violently, as fragile as plum blossoms falling in the snow.
"Xia Mo!" Lou Yin appeared next to Ji Xiamo and supported him, with imperceptible distress in his indifferent eyes.
Ji Xiamo leaned against the plum tree and knelt weakly on the ground, his face pale as if transparent.The bony fingers tightly clutched the branch of plum blossom, with a dazed expression. "Lou Yin, is he not coming back?"
Lou Yin "..."
"Can't wait..."
"He'll be back soon, you have to hold on." Lou Yin firmly held Ji Xiamo's shoulder, forcing Ji Xiamo to look at him. "Hold on, wait for him."
Ji Xiamo looked at Lou Yin in dismay, tears slowly streaming from his eyes. "Does he not know that I'm waiting for him, why hasn't he come back?"
Ji Xiamo tugged on Lou Yin's sleeve and sobbed, Lou Yin didn't dare to touch his thin body, as if he just had to be rough, and Ji Xiamo would disappear into the blood-red plum grove.
'Ji Xiamo, I hate it when you cry for another man in front of me. '
'However, I can only watch and accompany. '
'Because now, the only proof of your bond with him is me. '
"Ji Xiamo, you are my retribution..."
[Text Episode 144 Letter from Chu Lingyou]
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the deserted Meiyuan became more lively, Ji Yikui clamored to help Ji Xiamo's Meiyuan hang lanterns, Ji Xiamo asked the servants to watch out for her to fall, and then let her make trouble.
Outside the window, plum blossoms are dotted in the ice and snow like rouge, reflecting the green bamboo in front of the porch, which is quite interesting.
Ji Xiamo was sitting in front of the writing desk by the window, dipping the talisman brush in his hand with finely divided Zhusha, copying the talismans from the heavenly scriptures.Xu Shi was restless, and lost half a plate of cinnabar, but only a few talismans were formed.
"To draw a talisman requires full concentration." Lou Yin leaned against the window, the silver thread in his palm bound Ji Xiamo's talisman pen.
Ji Xiamo stared at the yellow talisman for a while, then put down the talisman pen and sighed. "The palace banquet is approaching, but the uneasiness is getting worse."
"It's inconvenient for mundane practitioners to mix their hands." Lou Yin's expression was indifferent.
Ji Xiamo picked up the cinnabar and rubbed it on her fingertips, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she didn't smile, "Lou Yin has nothing to worry about in this world, but I have a lot of ties. Although I want to be free and wild, I can't help but keep messing around."
Lou Yin raised his eyelids, looking at Ji Xiamo's gentle profile, a strange color flashed in his eyes. 'If he really had nothing to worry about, how could he be willing to stay here. '
"My father is in the prime minister, so how can he be alone in the battle of seizing the heirloom." Ji Xiamo said worriedly while holding a cup of cold tea. "Thinking about the bloody conquest in the annals of history, I feel more and more frightened."
"Feng Lingchen is the prince." Lou Yin vaguely wanted to comfort Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo let out a sarcastic laugh from his throat, "The royal family is treacherous and sinister. The new emperor ascends the throne, which one is not stepping on corpses? Feng Lingchen has a gentle temperament and is not good at planning. He usually likes to play with words. If he is cruel, I guess Feng Yufei is stronger than him." .”
"You have to rely on the party." Lou Yin asked.
"I don't intend to get entangled among them. It has nothing to do with me who can sit on the throne." Ji Xiamo's expression was indifferent.
"Brother." Ji Yikui stood outside the window holding a lantern to show Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo looked at Ji Yikui with a gentle smile, "It's so pretty."
"I'll hang it in front of the porch so that the Meiyuan won't be dark at night." Ji Yikui smiled sweetly.
"It's cold in the snow, be careful not to freeze." Ji Xiamo handed the pastry on the plate to Ji Yikui, and Ji Yikui ate a piece of pastry, shaking her head with a smile.
"My lord." Aoki came in to salute, then took out the letterhead and handed it to Ji Xiamo. "There is a letter from the young master."
After receiving the letter from Aoki, Ji Xiamo waved Aoki to leave.The handwriting on the sealed letterhead is sharp, with a hidden murderous aura at the end of the words. 'Ji Xiamo kisses'
"This is Chu Lingyou's handwriting." Ji Xiamo was surprised.
Three years ago, Chu Lingyou sent a letter asking Ji Xiamo to find the missing Fang Linjun.Ji Xiamo drew a tracking talisman and presented it to Chu Lingyou. Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know why Chu Lingyou wrote this letter.
Ji Xiamo opened the letter in doubt, and looked at what was mentioned in Chu Lingyou's letter, his expression gradually changed from surprise to smile.
After not seeing Ji Xiamo's real smile for a long time, Lou Yin walked up to Ji Xiamo and asked, "What did you say in the letter?"
"Chu Lingyou chases his wife in the rivers and lakes, and lovers will eventually get married." Ji Xiamo put the letter away with a smile. "After the new year, Chu Lingyou will bring Fang Lin Jun to visit me in the imperial city."
"It's so good." Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun are Ji Xiamo's friends, and their coming to the imperial city should be beneficial to Ji Xiamo's condition.
After the ranking of the Jianghu list, there is no gold list after the reorganization of the Jianghu.Wuyougu Fangle Pavilion Jianghu was removed from the rivers and lakes. Although Li Jiumen Si Fu Jing's injuries had healed, his mood was not as good as before, as if he had suddenly aged a lot. Li Jiumen is now in charge of Si Yue.
Chu Lingyou's tactics were ruthless, and he expanded his power to control the Jianghu in a short period of time. Now that the Jianghu is unified, the entire Jianghu is firmly in the palm of Chu Lingyou's hands, and everyone in the Jianghu follows Chu Lingyou's lead.
Although he knew that Chu Lingyou was hiding his clumsiness, he didn't know that he was hiding his strength and bide his time like this.Ji Xiamo was astonished by Chu Lingyou's ruthless decision, like a hungry wolf suddenly taking off its sheepskin and revealing its ferocious fangs.
Even though Chu Lingyou was treacherous and deceitful, Ji Xiamo had no intention of revenge.Chu Lingyou has already controlled the Jianghu with great power, and even though Chu Lingyou pretended to be crazy and foolish when they met, Ji Xiamo knew that Chu Lingyou sincerely regarded him as a brother.
Everyone has lies and secrets, and he often deceives others. Although he was a little angry at Chu Lingyou's concealment, he would not part ways with Chu Lingyou.
Officers and soldiers were only allowed to set fires and the common people were not allowed to light lamps. Ji Xiamo didn't feel that he was special. Friends and brothers were friends, and no one was superior to the other.
Ji Xiamo stared out the window in a daze, and suddenly said in silence, "Do you know where Yin Li is?"
Lou Yin was slightly taken aback, Ji Xiamo's question made him a little at a loss.After Mo Tu's attack on Li Jiumen, Ji Xiamo never mentioned Yin Li again. Lou Yin didn't know whether Ji Xiamo resented Yin Li for concealing Mo Tu's existence, but since this matter was Ji Xiamo's taboo, Lou Yin also I don't want to ask.
"After I woke up from a serious injury, Yin Li's contract with me was terminated." Ji Xiamo's expression was flat, as if talking about other people's affairs.
"It should be forced to break the contract." Lou Yin replied indifferently, paying attention to Ji Xiamo's expression.
"What are the consequences?"
"Yin Li's body was severely injured, and he recovered his ethereal body again." Lou Yin withdrew his gaze and expressed a cold expression. "It's her own fault, don't need to think about it."
Yin Li knew that Mo Tu's intentions were for Jin Wuji, but he still deliberately concealed it.To say that Xia Mo, the resentful concubine, did exist, if Yin Li could tell the truth, maybe he and Jin Wuji would not part ways.
He regards Yin Li as a close friend, but Yin Li hurts him the most.But thinking about it, Mo Tu is her obsession to become a charm, and I have only known Yin Li for half a year, so I understand Yin Li's choice intellectually, but I cannot forgive him emotionally.
According to the conversation between Yin Li and Mo Tu that day, Ji Xiamo could already guess some reasons.Mo Tu and Yin Li used to be husband and wife, but Mo Tu betrayed her, Yin Li lost the fetus in her womb, and finally died of hatred.
But Mo Tu's vague feelings for Yin Li, and Yin Li's obsession with Mo Tu for thousands of years, there must be something hidden in it.
After the elegant and quiet Meiyuan is decorated by Ji Yikui, the garden is full of lanterns and satins like a conventional wedding room.After Ji Yikui left with his servants, Aoki asked Ji Xiamo's opinion on restoring the Meiyuan to its original state. Ji Xiamo asked Aoki to remove the silk and satin, and keep the lanterns.
Ji Yikui was busy decorating it for a long time. If Ji Xiamo really demolished it all, it would probably hurt Ji Yikui's heart.
After lunch, Ji Xiamo just lay down to rest, when Aoki quietly entered the room with the invitation.Ji Xiamo was a light sleeper, and opened his eyes when he heard Aoki enter the room. "What's up?"
Seeing the tiredness in Ji Xiamo's eyes, Aoki secretly annoyed the person who sent the post. "Young Master, Prince Zhongyi sent you a post. King Zhongyi invited you to the Prince's Palace for a leisurely gathering."
’ What did King Zhongyi ask him to do. Ji Xiamo frowned slightly. Although he has friendship with Zombie City, since he returned to the imperial city, he has rarely met with King Zhongyi.
In the first two years, he was weak and difficult to meet guests. Although he got better later on, King Zhongyi had a noble status. Although he was appreciated by the emperor, he was just an ordinary white-clothed man with no official position. If King Zhongyi made friends with him, it would inevitably attract people suspicion.Now King Zhongyi suddenly asked him what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Ji Xiamo was suspicious, pondered for a moment and said, "Order the carriage, and I'll get up."
"Yes!"
There are countless silks and satins in Ji Xiamo's closet. This time when he went to see King Zhongyi, Ji Xiamo only chose a plain Tsing Yi robe, and the blue silk was tied up with peach blossom and white jade hairpins, giving him a gentle and elegant temperament.
Ji Ye was still discussing state affairs with the emperor in the palace. After Ji Xiamo informed Su Jingyao, he left the mansion by car and went to the Zhongyi Palace.
On the way, Ji Xiamo imagined countless reasons, but still couldn't figure out King Zhongyi's intention.Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Lou Yin comforted him, "Don't be afraid if you have me."
"I'm not afraid that he will harm me, I'm only afraid that he will ask for something." Ji Xiamo said helplessly.
King Zhongyi is upright and cautious, and has always been reluctant to get involved in imperial power struggles.The battle for the heir apparent has already begun, and according to King Zhongyi's temper, he shouldn't get involved.
But in Zombie City, Feng Shaojin was kind to King Zhongyi, and Feng Shaojin was Feng Lingchen's backup. I'm afraid that even if King Zhongyi didn't participate in any faction that seized the heir apparent, he would still favor Feng Shaojin in his heart.
If Feng Yelan thinks that King Zhongyi is a gangster, if he gets close to King Zhongyi, he will probably get burned.
Hesitating in his heart, he came to Prince Zhongyi's mansion. There were already guards waiting outside the mansion. Ji Xiamo followed the guards into the mansion. When he saw King Zhongyi, Ji Xiamo instantly suppressed all the emotions he showed, and put on a decent smile on his face.
"Grassman Ji Xiamo see King Zhongyi." Ji Xiamo cupped her hands and wanted to kneel.
King Zhongyi raised his hand to help him, and smiled brightly, "Since there is no outsider Xia Mo, there is no need to be polite. If you are weak, sit down quickly."
Ji Xiamo thanked King Zhongyi with a nod, looked past the guard Ye Yi, and nodded slightly.The corner of Ye Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he bowed his hands in salute.
After Zombie City, Ye Yiyi sincerely respected Ji Xiamo.Although he was in awe of Ji Xiamo's practice of Qimen Dunjia, he admired him from the bottom of his heart because Ji Xiamo solved the case as a god, was fair and honest.
After Ji Xiamo sat down, King Zhongyi poured tea himself, "I heard that you were sick again a few days ago, but you've gotten better recently."
"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Xia Mo is fine." Ji Xiamo took the tea with both hands.
"There is a ginseng rewarded by the emperor in my palace, and I will order someone to take it for you later."
Ji Xiamo paused for a moment while drinking tea, and then said respectfully, "Thank you, my lord, Xia Mo, but this ginseng is precious, Xia Mo..."
"What's the value?" King Zhongyi raised his hand to interrupt Ji Xiamo's unfinished words. "It's useless for me to eat it. If you're sick, I'll take it for your health."
It would be hypocritical to evade, Ji Xiamo pondered for a moment and cupped his hands and said, "In this case, Xia Mo thanked the prince here."
Looking at the famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, Ji Xiamo drank the tea in the cup and said, "My lord has sent a message to invite Xia Mo to the palace. I don't know if there is something wrong."
"Drinking tea and enjoying the snow, do you have to ask for something?" King Zhongyi pointed to the snow scene outside the window.
Ji Xiamo said with a faint smile, "Xia Mo is nothing but ordinary white clothes, so King Zhongyi suddenly sent me a post, so I can't help but feel a little panicked."
"That's not true." King Zhongyi looked at Ji Xiamo with a smile. "Back in the Chenzhou case, you, a weird little monkey, didn't bother the old man much."
When King Zhongyi mentioned the past events in Zombie City, Ji Xiamo's expression froze, and his hand holding the teacup tightened slightly. "Xia Mo was young and presumptuous, offended the prince."
"I don't blame you for offending me. The world has been changed for many years, and people have changed." King Zhongyi got up with hot tea and walked to the window, looking at the snow scene in the courtyard with emotion.
"The imperial city is changing, people's hearts are unpredictable, even you will be reborn." King Zhongyi smiled lightly. "Compared to the tight-knit Young Master Ji today, this king still likes the lawless and wanton young man back then."
Ji Xiamo bowed his head and sipped his tea without saying a word. King Zhongyi looked back at Ji Xiamo and said with a smile, "Did this king scare you by suddenly posting a invitation to you?"
Ji Xiamo opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and his instinct told him that it was best not to talk to King Zhongyi at this time.
King Zhongyi walked up to Ji Xiamo and sat down, "This time I invite you here just for tea, I don't ask for anything."
Ji Xiamo was stunned, looked up at King Zhongyi and said for a while, "My lord misunderstood, Xia Mo..."
"This king knows what you are thinking. After all, this king also came out of the palace." King Zhongyi's expression suddenly became serious. "No matter how chaotic the imperial city is, this king will not interfere with your choice."
Ji Xiamo looked at King Zhongyi's cold expression and nodded slightly. "Yes, Xia Mo understands."
King Zhongyi poured tea to Ji Xiamo, lost his seriousness and returned to kindness, "Besides drinking tea this time, I have something else to tell you."
"Let's talk about the prince if you have something to do."
"The palace banquet is approaching, and the virtuous king of Huyin City will arrive in the imperial city tomorrow."
"!!!" Ji Xiamo.
[Text Episode 145 Palace Banquet]
Ji Xiamo went to the palace of Zhongyi to talk about wind, flowers, snow and moon, discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, admiring the snow and watching the scenery and the fragrance of tea, and the conversation did not involve the situation of the court from the beginning to the end.
The next day, the virtuous king of Huxing City entered the city. The leader of the virtuous king rode a majestic horse, accompanied by nearly a hundred guards, who were powerful and arrogant.
As the virtuous king entered the city, the dark situation in the imperial city became more and more turbulent. Feng Shaojin came to visit, and Ji Xiamo shirked the relapse of the old illness and thanked the guests behind closed doors.
The post for the New Year's Palace Banquet has been sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Jingyao carefully selected the imperial gift silks and satins to make some new clothes for Ji Xiamo to wear for the palace banquet.
Ji Xiamo leaned against the stove and flipped through the chess records. Unfortunately, he was not talented enough, and holding the only handed down chess records was also a leisure book when he was bored.
The camellia bloomed in the palm of Lou Yin, twisted it and put it into Ji Xiamo's medicine pot.Ji Xiamo put down the chess record and looked outside the room in thought.
Aoki entered the courtyard, followed by the servants of Su Jingyao's courtyard. "My lord, these are the costumes for tomorrow's palace banquet, please choose your lord."
Ji Xiamo looked over and saw that the exquisite and colorful costumes were noble and gorgeous. Ji Xiamo frowned slightly, pointing to a plain green brocade robe and said, "Keep this one."
Aoki hesitated, "Is the color too plain?"
"The New Year's Palace banquet means reunion, not to mention that I am no longer a teenager, why wear such bright colors."
Ji Xiamo's expression was scolding, Aoki didn't dare to disobey, so he had to obey the order, "Yes."
Waved to send Aoki away, Ji Xiamo's eyes were full of melancholy.Lou Yin walked to Ji Xiamo's side, "Why are you worried?"
"The virtuous king enters the city, and his intentions are hard to distinguish between good and evil." Ji Xiamo frowned. "I have heard about the King Xian. The emperor's brothers and sisters stayed away from the imperial city after ascending the throne and guarded the border city of Huxin."
"Although he has the title of virtuous, the virtuous king is actually bloody and brutal, and he seems to want to covet the throne. The virtuous king has entrusted the land of Huan City, and holds tens of thousands of soldiers. Now that the imperial city is chaotic, he may enter the city with bad intentions. .”
"Who ascends to the throne has nothing to do with you, if you are always so worried, I am afraid that your illness will not recover." Lou Yin's expression was indifferent.
"Tomorrow's palace banquet will be extremely dangerous." Ji Xiamo sighed softly.
(second day)
Ji Xiamo stood in front of the porch and looked at the falling snowflakes. Thinking of the prosperity of the modern capital, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt sad.
He hadn't thought about this for a long time, and the modern things seemed to gradually fade away with time, maybe one day he would just be Ji Xiamo, the son of the prime minister's mansion of the dynasty, and there would be no trace of the prince of the Long family in the capital city.
The fate of the family and his personal fate are all controlled by the ruthless imperial power.Victory is king and defeat is bandit, what will be the fate of the Ji family when the storm is settled?
The ice and snow in Ji Xiamo's palm melted, and crystal drops of water slid down between her fingers.The imperial city is full of dangers, and there is no one to rely on behind the lonely and sad.
"My lord, the carriages and horses for the palace banquet are ready." Qingmu Langxia reminded Ji Xiamo softly.
Ji Xiamo stared at the withered grass in front of the bluestone steps, as if she had never heard of it.Aoki hesitated for a moment, then slightly accentuated his voice. "It's cold in the snow, young master, take care of your body."
Ji Xiamo glanced at the worried Aoki, tightened his cloak and said, "Let's go."
Ji Ye had arrived outside the prime minister's residence, and Ji Xiamo nodded slightly, "Father."
Ji Ye looked at the weak Ji Xiamo, and sighed softly, "Hurry up and get on the carriage, don't freeze."
Five years ago, Ji Xiamo was seriously injured and returned home. He was in a coma all day and almost died.
Ji Xiamo managed to survive, but the root cause of the disease was hidden behind. Every time he got sick, he seemed to have to go to the palace of the king of hell.
Over the years, Ji Xiamo has become thinner and weaker, so he is not as energetic as before.Ji Xiamo was in unbearable pain, and Ji Ye couldn't sleep at night.
Ji Xiamo once teased that Ji Ye was the leader of the Ji family, but after waking up from nightmares countless times in the middle of the night, Ji Ye secretly went to Meiyuan to make sure that Ji Xiamo was still alive, and then hid in a corner to wipe away tears.
Ji Xiamo got into the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Ji Ye.Ji Ye often secretly went to see him in Meiyuan, and Ji Xiamo knew about it. He always pretended to be very energetic, but he didn't want Ji Ye to worry.
Ji Ye has just passed the age of forty, but he is already in the twilight of his age. Ji Xiamo is full of guilt and no longer disobeys Ji Ye. As long as Ji Ye says, he will obediently listen.
However, the more well-behaved and sensible Ji Xiamo was, the more distressed Ji Ye became, and he never forced Ji Xiamo to do anything.
The carriage was driving on the streets of the imperial city, and Ji Xiamo was leaning on a soft pillow to meditate, and beside him was Lou Yin who was living in thrush.
The long and slender fingers were so thin that only bones remained, and the delicate skin was morbidly pale, so weak that one could see the bones and tendons.
Ji Xiamo stared at her hands deeply, and said suddenly, "I used to laugh at the uselessness of scholars, but now I am not even as good as a scholar without hands."
"How can mortals compare with you." Lou Yin closed his eyes and said.
"You once said that the seal of the soul is in harmony with me, and that monsters are afraid of practicing, and practice is twice the result with half the effort. You can save me only by the seal of the soul to keep my soul alive."
Lou Yin looked at Ji Xiamo, "That's right, your soul is intact, you just need to rest your body."
Ji Xiamo touched the animal seal behind his ear, and murmured softly, "If Brother Jin has the seal of the soul, maybe he can be saved?"
Lou Yin's eyes were sharp, and his aura was instantly cold and piercing. "No way."
"I just mentioned it casually, don't get angry."
"The seal of the soul is fused with you, so there is no reason to take it out. The seal of the soul is a magic weapon for recognizing the master." Knowing Ji Xiamo's temper, Lou Yin's tone was decisive, leaving no hope for Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo's eyes darkened, and he whispered to himself, "It would be great if brother Jin didn't give me the seal of the soul seal."
"If you hadn't sealed the soul seal, you would have been out of your wits." Lou Yin said coldly.
'He's better off now than out of his wits. Ji Xiamo closed her eyes and stopped talking.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, Ji Xiamo sharply opened his eyes, and Aoki approached the carriage and said, "My lord, it's the third prince's sedan chair."
Ji Xiamo lifted the curtain of the car and saw Ji Ye saluting Feng Yelan, as if sensing Ji Xiamo's gaze, Feng Yelan looked sideways.
Meeting Feng Yelan's calm and indifferent eyes, Ji Xiamo nodded calmly and got up to get out of the car. "Horse carriages are prohibited in the palace, and you must walk after entering the palace."
It was cold and snowy on the road, and Aoki was worried about Ji Xiamo's body, but there were rules in the palace, so Aoki had to help Ji Xiamo down.
Ji Xiamo walked towards Feng Yelan, bowed his hands and saluted, "Ji Xiamo sees the third prince and princess."
"I heard that Mr. Ji's old illness relapsed a few days ago. I don't know if he is better now." Feng Yelan said.
A strange color flashed in Ji Xiamo's eyes. Over the years, he has often been ill. A few days ago, he just had a common cold. These princes are well-informed. "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. There is no serious problem."
"My king has been busy with year-end sacrifices recently, and I have never had time to visit the young master. Don't be surprised if I still hope."
"Ji Xiamo is a grass-roots person, the prince really offended me." Ji Xiamo said in panic.
"Xiaomo." Feng Shaojin came from the palace and saw Feng Yelan cupped his hands to say hello, "Third brother."
"See the Fifth Prince." Ji Xiamo saluted.
"I know you are weak, so I would like to ask my father to take you into the palace." Feng Shaojin motioned for the sedan chair behind her.
The emperor gave special approval, and the prince carried the sedan chair to welcome him. I'm afraid that if you sit on this sedan chair today, you will inevitably gossip and gossip in the future.
Ji Ye looked at Feng Yelan and Feng Shaojin, and was about to speak when Ji Xiamo suddenly interrupted. "Your Majesty is considerate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people here kowtow to thank the Emperor for long live." Ji Xiamo knelt down and kowtowed.
Feng Shaojin's expression was slightly stiff, a strange color flashed in Feng Yelan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised imperceptibly.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Ji Xiamo lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the majestic palace, feeling cold all over her body.There are two worlds separated by the red wall. The inside of this palace wall is heavy and cold, like a closed and gloomy prison, which makes people desperate and suffocating.
Feng Shaojin's sedan chair followed Ji Xiamo, Feng Shaojin looked at Ji Xiamo many times but hesitated to speak, Ji Xiamo put down the sedan chair curtain and pretended not to see it.
After nearly half an hour's journey, the sedan chair stopped in front of a courtyard, and Feng Shaojin got off the sedan chair and said to Ji Ye, "Prime Minister Ji, there is still some time before the palace banquet starts, Xiaomo is not in good health, how about letting him rest here first?" .”
Ji Ye looked at Ji Xiamo hesitantly. Although he didn't want Ji Xiamo to get close to these lords, he was also worried that Ji Xiamo's body could hold on.
Ji Xiamo smiled calmly, "Father, let's go first, I'm a little tired too."
When Ji Ye heard that Ji Xiamo was tired, he nodded decisively in agreement, "Then I will trouble the Fifth Prince."
Ji Ye followed the eunuch to the side hall, Feng Shaojin took Ji Xiamo into the courtyard, "This is the courtyard where I used to be when I was not out of the palace, and the maids clean it every day."
Ji Xiamo followed Feng Shaojin, quietly listening to Feng Shaojin tell interesting stories about her childhood.Feng Shaojin brought Ji Xiamo into the house, and the burning stove gradually warmed Ji Xiamo's body.
Feng Shaojin poured hot tea for Ji Xiamo, but he spoke dryly but Ji Xiamo couldn't speak, Feng Shaojin's voice gradually became softer, and then fell silent.
"Xiaomo, is there really only strangers between you and me?" Feng Shaojin's voice was lost.
Ji Xiamo looked at Feng Shaojin's appearance resembling his elder brother, but he was no longer as mistaken as before. "The fifth prince is serious, it's Xia Mo who dare not climb up."
"In the past, the imperial city was like a brother in solving crimes, and the rivers and lakes are dangerous, life and death. Now you tell me that you dare not climb high." Feng Shaojin was emotional. "You and I used to talk about drinking and laughing about the past and the present, what are those?"
"When you grow up, some things and people will naturally change." Ji Xiamo said indifferently, looking directly into Feng Shaojin's eyes.
"But I treat you sincerely." Feng Shaojin said.
"But this sincerity is no longer pure."
Feng Shaojin was stunned for a while, looking at the wind and snow in the courtyard absently, and said softly, "This is the fate of the royal family, I can't escape it."
Seeing the sadness that flickered in Feng Shaojin's eyes, Ji Xiamo felt desolate.The young man who was once unrestrained, unrestrained, happy, and enmity has been buried in the passing time. Today, Feng Shaojin is a wild beast bound in a golden cage, and the only way to survive is to fight.
"I haven't forgotten anything, but I can't go back." Feng Shaojin has already participated in the seizure of the heir, and he has practiced Qimen Dunjia, so he must be the object they hope to win over.If you lean towards one of the factions, the entire Ji family will be wiped out if you are not careful.
Ji Xiamo got up and was about to leave, "Five kings, since the war has begun, the situation is unpredictable, and the winner and loser are at their own risk, so take care of yourself."
After Ji Xiamo said that, he left the courtyard. Presumably, the watchers outside should report back to their master, and it would be hard to explain if they stayed any longer.
He knew that Feng Shaojin had no intention of being the ninety-five lord, but he cared about too many people.
[Text Episode 146 Wisdom Solution Black Jade Panlong]
Snowflakes covered the skirts of her clothes and her hair turned white. Ji Xiamo was walking alone in the deep palace garden. Winter plums were red and charming, standing proudly in the snow, like clusters of red mist.
Ji Xiamo leaned tiredly in front of the corridor, pressing his chest to suppress his cough.Lou Yin coiled in silver thread and appeared, frowning, twisting the camellia and handing it to Ji Xiamo.
Ji Xiamo smiled stupidly, staring at the camellia in his palm in a trance. "I'm getting more and more ruthless."
"Young Master Feng's fate is fixed, there is no need to worry about this common man." Lou Yin's voice was indifferent.
Ji Xiamo looked into the distance, with a faint melancholy shrouded in her brows. "I carefully calculated that I don't want to be involved in the struggle for succession, but how long I can stay alone."
"Observe fate and calculate to find the destined emperor, let Ji Ye assist him."
"Even if you know the outcome, so what, knowing the ending will still kill you, it will only add fear and sorrow." Ji Xiamo scooped up the snow from the wintersweet flowers in front of the porch, quietly watching the snow melt.
Lou Yin fiddled with his fingertips, and the snow melted and the camellias bloomed. "Ice and snow are bitingly cold and easy to hurt the body, and the fragrance of camellia is more suitable for you."
The corner of Ji Xiamo's mouth raised a faint smile, and he sniffed the camellia lightly. "Let's go."
Just as Ji Xiamo was about to leave the imperial garden for the palace banquet, he suddenly heard the melodious sound of flutes behind the wintersweet bushes. Ji Xiamo paused slightly, and hesitantly went around to check.
Wintersweet is in full bloom beside the gazebo, the face of the man in white is like snow and his momentum is indifferent, but the sound of the flute is sad and lonely.
'Sister Immortal' Ji Xiamo recalled in a trance the lonely and elegant young man she met in the palace many years ago, holding magnolias in her hands in the quiet palace garden.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Ji Xiamo looked back, and his eyes met the young man's cold and indifferent eyes.Looking at each other in the snow without saying a word, Ji Xiamo walked towards the young man and pushed the young man's wheelchair into the gazebo.
"It's cold and snowy in the twelfth lunar month, so the frostbite will be worse." Ji Xiamo said in a low voice.
The snow fell on the young man's shoulders, and the emerald dragon pattern flute was placed beside him, "Whose son are you?"
"Ji Xiamo, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Cao Min, pays his respects to the prince." Ji Xiamo bowed his hands and saluted.
The young man stopped for a moment, and looked at Ji Xiamo with a little doubt, "How do you know that I am a prince?"
Ji Xiamo smiled lightly, "That piece of magnolia is still in full bloom every year."
The young man thought for a moment, his indifferent eyes flashed, "Ji Xiamo, this king has seen you before."
Ji Xiamo nodded and said nothing, the young man looked at Ji Xiamo with his eyes, "Compared to the past, you seem to be much haggard."
"It's Xia Mo's blessing." Ji Xiamo didn't mention physical illness.
The young man turned the wheelchair and looked at the imperial garden. The plain white robe was thin, which made him more and more ethereal, as if he could melt away at any time like snow.
"My king is ranked fourth in the royal family, Feng Yishuang." The silent middle-aged young man suddenly said.
Ji Xiamo was a little stunned, and then said respectfully, "Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince, Feng Yishuang, the son of the late Concubine Lian, fell from the attic and broke his legs when he was young. He was raised in the deep palace without a mansion in the imperial city.
"It's time for the palace banquet, let's go." Feng Yishuang said calmly.
"Yes." Just as Ji Xiamo was about to leave, seeing Feng Yishuang's thin clothes, he hesitated to untie the cloak and put it on Feng Yishuang. "My lord, pay attention to your health, Xia Mo will leave."
Feng Yishuang's biological mother, Concubine Lian, died tragically in the cold palace. In the deep palace, the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. Feng Yishuang was afraid that it would be difficult.
Watching Ji Xiamo leave, Feng Yishuang tightened the cloak on her shoulders, staring at the wintersweet in the snow with absent-minded eyes.
Lou Yinxuan floated beside Ji Xiamo, his fingertips were coiled with silver threads, and the silver-gray cloak wrapped Ji Xiamo. "You still have the heart to cherish the beauty." Lou Yin's cold voice was vaguely angry.
Ji Xiamo's eyes were stained with a smile, "Feng Yishuang is somewhat similar to you."
Lou Yin was surprised, then turned around and sneered coldly, "Ordinary people, how can they be compared with this deity."
Reflecting the snow scene in the imperial garden, Lou Yin's white robe was gorgeously wrapped with silver threads, and his silver hair was floating in a desolate and noble manner.Compared with the ruthless and thin Liang when we first met, now Lou Yin has gained some popularity.
Ji Xiamo shook his head and smiled, "Lou Yin, you are so beautiful."
"You!" Lou Yin turned around with an angry look on his face.
Ji Xiamo looked back innocently, Lou Yin glared at Ji Xiamo for a while, turned around and left angrily, not daring to let Ji Xiamo see his slightly warm ears.
After teasing Lou Yinji, Xia Mo was in a good mood. In fact, besides Lou Yin's aloof and aloof temper, he was quite cute when he teased her occasionally.
When Ji Xiamo arrived at the inner hall of the palace banquet, the palace banquet was about to begin.Ji Xiamo sneaked up to sit next to Ji Ye, and said nothing to Ji Ye's question, so as not to worry Ji Ye.
Sitting in the inner hall of the palace again, the mood was not the same as before. Feng Yelan, Feng Shaojin, and Feng Yufei were all seated.
Feng Yufei's personality is irritable and impulsive, but he dares to speak up and do justice, but it's a pity how can he be innocent in the royal family, Ji Xiamo darkened his eyes.
When King Zhongyi entered the inner hall for a banquet, all the officials stood up to greet him. Ji Xiamo watched the hypocrisy of the officialdom with cold eyes. Those flattering smiles made him feel sick.
Everyone in the inner hall of the palace banquet is already seated, and Ji Xiamo is in the cup after drinking
