The Way of the Consort
Chapter 119 Want to see you
After a good night's sleep until dawn, after all it was the New Year's Eve, Ji Zhao packed up, changed his clothes, and went to visit his grandfather.
The grandfather happily left him to say a few words, and gave him a big red envelope, telling him to play well at home, and then went out to meet friends. Ji Zhao was hesitating to see his cheap father, Ji Muzhi, when the steward outside came in to report: "Mr. Dalang, Mr. Sanlang, King Zheng and the fifth son came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings."
"what--"
These two are not familiar with Ji's family, so they came here to pay New Year's greetings, obviously they came to see him.
Ji Chongjin who accompanied him really looked at him: "They must be looking for you."
Ever since he fell off the cliff that day and was found by Zongzhen again, whether Ji Zhao lives in the mountains or in the palace, he seems to have been isolated from the world. These days, Zongzhen is the only one in his life, and occasionally inserts into Fuchen. The princess said a few words.At this time, Ji Zhaocai realized later, and he hurriedly asked Ji Chongjin: "Is their family okay? Actually, I really didn't blame them that day. I wanted to run over by myself, and I stepped on the air."
Ji Chongjin thought for a moment, and said: "The day I was on the mountain, King Zheng and the fifth son asked to see him many times, but the prince didn't see him, and no one was allowed to tell you. After we returned to the city, at first no one knew why you fell off the cliff. In two days, it suddenly spread that your falling off the cliff was caused by Prince Zheng's residence."
"Ah, after that?"
"His Royal Highness is grounded in Prince Zheng's Mansion."
Ji Zhao was very shocked: "I don't know at all."
Ji Chongjin said: "You don't know that you are recuperating in the mountains, but I also think they deserve it. They took the initiative to come to the mountains to play with you. How dangerous is it with such heavy snow? They still want to go fishing with you, even if you are If you take the initiative, they should also persuade you. You are not an ordinary person, and they are too careless! Your Highness the Crown Prince did the right thing!"
"..." Ji Zhao found out, this big brother is also very defensive!Anyway, it was someone else's fault, so he asked anxiously, "Then they came to look for me today, is the ban lifted?!"
"During the Chinese New Year, His Royal Highness lifted the ban."
"Huh—" Ji Zhao let out a breath, just as the steward came in to report again, saying that he had taken the two of them to Jiashutang.
Ji Chongjin got up: "You go, I will go back first, and find someone to call me when you are free."
Ji Zhao saw Zongyan and Zongmi in Jiashutang, as soon as they came in, he quickly got up, looking at them, he didn't know what to say.
Instead, Zongyan strode up to him eagerly, looked at him carefully, up and down, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Your face is okay, I can be regarded as letting go of my heart." He looked at his hand again. , frowning and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Ji Zhao quickly shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, I've already gotten used to it."
Zong Yan looked at him silently, as if he didn't believe him, "Hey..." Ji Zhao smiled, trying to make them relax, seeing Zong Mi also strode up to him, and Zong Yan looked at each other. He took a step back, and then bowed to Ji Zhao together. Ji Zhao was startled, and quickly reached out to stop him, but he only had one hand to move, and it was wrong to stop anyone. He said anxiously, "What are you doing? !"
The two brothers saluted and stood up, Zong Mi said: "This is all our brother's fault, I shouldn't have urged you to go fishing on the mountain that day."
"How can I blame you? It was I who said that I wanted to eat freshly caught fish, and you made the suggestion, and I insisted on going. But I feel very sorry for you... It's all because of me that you are grounded."
Zong Mi said seriously: "His Royal Highness is right to restrain his feet, we did not act properly."
Ji Zhao didn't know what to say immediately, and then Zong Mi heard that Ji Muzhi was also in the mansion, and offered to visit him, and Ji Zhao took the two brothers to visit the cheap father, and Ji Muzhi called Ji Chongjin and Ji Chongyuan together. Zong Mi did not refuse, and wanted to keep the two of them for lunch at the mansion.
While they were talking, Ji Zhao and Zong Yan came out of the house, stood on the porch and said "whispering".
"Are you really okay?" Zong Yan was frustrated, "I haven't slept well these days, and I want to go to the mountain to see you every day, but the prince won't let us see, and the prince won't see me, and then he won't let us out , it was finally released during the Chinese New Year, and you are in the palace again."
"If I have something to do, can I still stand here and talk to you?"
"That's right, you've been living in the palace these days, why did you suddenly come to Ji's house again? Don't you have a bad relationship with them?" When there was no one around, Zong Yan said it very directly.
Ji Zhao didn't speak, but Zong Yan said: "Are you arguing with the prince?" He also persuaded, "The prince is very sincere to you. If it's not important, I advise you not to fall out with the prince. Now our family has become a thorn in the prince's eyes."
"Then will you still play with me in the future?"
"Why don't I play with you? I don't like the prince, and the prince doesn't like me either. I'm afraid I'll dislike our brothers even more in the future, but you are you, and the prince is the prince. As long as I don't do anything wrong, he can't just go back and forth. Stop my feet?" Zong Yan said with concern, "It's you, go get some snacks, and don't offend the prince."
Ji Zhao hid here to hide from Zongzhen, and Zongyan talked about "Prince", and then thought that Zongzhen banned the foot of Prince Zheng's mansion for him, and his heart became even more chaotic and tormented.
He said: "Don't talk about me. There are not only magnolia trees in my eldest brother's courtyard, but also many plum trees. The flowers are in full bloom. Let's call everyone to enjoy the flowers together."
"Okay!"
When Ji Zhao went in and said, everyone was happy, and Ji Chongyuan went to call all the other cousins and concubine brothers, and everyone went to Ji Chongjin's yard talking and laughing.
On the way, they met Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Er. When the two sisters saw a stranger, they immediately avoided them and saluted politely.
Ji Chongjin introduced: "This is my eldest sister and second sister." Then he said, "These two are King Zheng and Fifth Young Master."
The two sisters immediately said: "I have seen King Zheng and the fifth son."
The girl's voice was clear, but Zong Yan didn't respond, Zong Mi, who was always gentle, said with a smile: "You two sisters don't need to be polite, please get up."
The two sisters got up together, and Ji Chongjin smiled and said, "I'll take King Zheng and Fifth Young Master to my yard to enjoy the flowers."
The two sisters nodded and watched them go away, they happened to meet Zong Mi who was talking back, Zong Mi smiled at them.The two of them held hands, turned around and continued to walk, but suddenly they were all silent, and their faces turned red quietly.
Although Zong Yan thought it was okay, he laughed at himself, their Prince Zheng's Mansion was already like this, and they were not afraid of being punished and grounded, and it would be fine if they came a few more times.Ji Zhao still felt a little sorry for Zong Yan. The Prince Zheng's Mansion would not be easy to get along with in Jinling City in the future, but it was also strange that Zong Yan didn't like Zong Zhen so much, yet he and Zong Yan were good friends.
Ji Zhao felt that the two of them had misunderstood each other, but the relationship between people is fate, and he didn't force it or explain it.
He didn't know how long he would live in Ji's Mansion, he was a bit ostrich at this moment, so he asked Zong Yan to come and play with him if he had nothing to do.As for Zongyan, in Jinling City, there are actually no friends. He is under the surveillance of the crown prince. He said it easily when he laughed at himself, but in fact he rarely made friends.
After that day, Zong Yan often came to Ji's mansion to play with Ji Zhao, and Zong Mi followed him twice.
At night, Ji Zhao either dragged Ji Chongjin to sleep in his own room, or went to sleep in Ji Chongjin's courtyard. The relationship between the two brothers improved by leaps and bounds.
Unknowingly, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. A lady like Wang Xi can only go out on festivals such as Shangyuan Festival and Qiqiao Festival all year round. Ji Zhao is thinking about the rare opportunity and sees if he can invite Wang Xi out. , Ask her to meet Ji Chongjin.
What if the two fall in love?
Of course, if he didn't see the right way, he wouldn't force him to make a quick decision, and it wouldn't delay the two of them, would he?
His plan is very good, but he has never done this kind of thing before, and he doesn't know how to speak up. It is precisely because of this that he sleeps in the same room with Ji Chongjin every day, looking for opportunities to speak up. It's strange, but I'm happy.
It dragged on until tomorrow, the Lantern Festival, and he still didn't know how to speak.
Besides, Yin Ming went out to deliver letters for Ji Zhao to various bankers, pawnshops and other shopkeepers a few years ago in order to find Pei Rong.During the Chinese New Year, he didn't have time to come back. He originally planned to stay in other places and accompany him to find Pei Rong. When he heard that Ji Zhao fell off the cliff and was injured, he hurried back.However, it was already Chinese New Year when he received the letter, so he hurried back, and it was the day before the Shangyuan Festival.
He rushed into the city just before the city gate closed, and knowing that Ji Zhao was in Ji's mansion, he came directly to Ji's mansion.
The gate of Ji's mansion was closed, he thought for a while, and went directly to the north gate, intending to climb over the wall and enter. Their lord's Jiashutang was very close to the north gate.Yin Ming's skills are also very good, he didn't want to attract attention, he climbed the top of the wall at a place far from the north gate, jumped into the wall with ease, clapped his hands, tightened his burden, he lifted his feet and walked towards Jiashu Church to go.
When entering Jiashutang, thinking of saving trouble, he climbed several walls and arrived at the main courtyard of Jiashutang in a while.
As the name suggests, Jiashutang has a lot of trees. Even in winter, the evergreen trees still stand proudly. Yin Ming climbed over the last wall and was about to get out of the bushes when he heard the trembling leaves not far away. "Swish" sound, his footsteps paused, and immediately ran lightly against the wall in that direction, and then he saw a figure fell to the ground, apparently also came in over the wall!
Someone dared to break into their husband's Jiashutang!
Seeing someone still jumping down, Yin Ming stepped forward without saying a word, grabbed that person's hand and shouted: "Who is it!"
After he finished drinking, he quickly raised his head to look at the person who was about to scroll down without first looking at who was in his hand. He wanted to see how many people there were!result--
"His Royal Highness..."
Yin Ming stared blankly at Zong Zhen who had one leg inside the wall and the other outside.
The atmosphere became stagnant for a while.
Not to mention Yin Ming, even Zong Zhen didn't expect that there was someone here...he was also dazed.
Even God didn't help His Royal Highness, Ji Zhao happened to be still awake, he was preparing a draft in his heart, and was about to explain to Ji Chongjin about going out to watch the lights tomorrow, when he heard a loud shout from Yin Ming outside the wall.
He was also taken aback, did he hear correctly?Although Yin Ming should still be out of town, he shouldn't even have misheard Yin Ming's voice!
"Go and have a look!" Ji Zhao, who likes to watch the excitement, jumped off the bed immediately, put on his cloak and rushed out. Ji Chongjin thought that he was still injured, so he immediately followed, but walked slowly.
"Who is it!" Ji Zhao rushed to the open space behind his bedroom, "Is it Yin Ming!"
Only then did Yin Ming come back to his senses, and said anxiously: "Yes, it's me..." He glanced at the crown prince, and for some reason, he still had the heart to hide it, "Don't come here, I'll come out soon!"
"When did you come back! I heard you talking to someone else! Who is it—" Ji Zhao had rushed behind the tree very quickly, and he looked up, "..."
He opened his mouth blankly and looked at Zong Zhen who was also blank on the wall.
So everyone froze together.
Until Ji Chongjin came along, he lifted the leaves and whispered, "What's the matter?"
Ji Chongjin also raised his head, he was also sluggish, but he reacted the fastest, and said to Yin Ming: "Help Your Highness down quickly."
"Uh, yes!" Yin Ming let go of Cheng Shen who was in his hands, and the two stepped forward together, helping Zong Zhen down.
In fact, Zongzhen didn't need help at all, he was the one who took the lead to climb over the wall every time, but at this time he was obviously stimulated a lot, he was helped off the wall with a cold expression on his face.
Ji Zhao also came back to his senses, he turned his back and left directly.
Zong Zhen immediately looked at his back, clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and Ji Chongjin pretended that he hadn't seen the scene just now, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is here to find the third younger brother? This way please..."
"Cough—" Zong Zhen cleared his throat, and followed Ji Chongjin.
Ji Chongjin took Zongzhen to Ji Zhao's room, and said with a smile, "Third Brother, you can talk with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I will go back to my yard."
"Don't go, I have something very important to tell you tonight."
Ji Chongjin still wanted to say goodbye, but Zong Zhen said first: "Just listen to him..."
"Then I'll go to the outer room first, and you can talk." Ji Chongjin nodded with a smile towards Zongzhen, and turned to go out.
There were only the two of them left in the room again, Ji Zhao had already climbed onto the couch and sat upright with his back facing Zong Zhen.
"Cough..." Zong Zhen cleared his throat again, and walked towards him. Ji Zhao seemed to have eyes behind him, and said, "Stay away from me."
"..." Zong Zhen was neither advancing nor retreating.
Ji Zhao sat with his back to him, but he almost cried. It's not an exaggeration at all.He was shocked by himself. These days, Ji Chongjin talked with him before going to bed, and Zong Yan played with him when he woke up. No matter day or night, he always packed his time. Yes, he did it on purpose. In short, he didn't want to think about Zong Zhen.
He has never liked anyone before, and he has no experience with the action or emotion of "liking".
He thought that this kind of thing, as long as you try your best not to think about it, will fade away one day. He is working hard for it these days, and he feels that he is doing pretty well.
However, just now, when he saw the man on the wall, he realized that everything was in vain.
He had missed this man so much.
Ji Zhao bowed his head and said, "Don't ask me why I left the palace, and don't ask me why I live here, in short, don't ask anything, I won't say anything, and I won't ask what you are here for, let alone ask Why did you climb over the wall! You go!"
"I don't ask..." Zong Zhen said so.
Ji Zhao was even more sad, he really wanted to hear more from this man, but Zong Zhen was going to marry the princess!
He wanted to chase Zong Zhen away again, Zong Zhen said behind him: "But I want to tell you, I climbed over the wall because I want to see you."
"... "
Ji Zhao felt that Zong Zhen was the "straight man" that people used to say in his previous era. Does he know what to say and what not to say? !
Ji Zhao's tears flowed out instantly, and he lowered his head subconsciously.
Zongzhen didn't know that he was crying, and he was still behind him, saying: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I want to take you to see the lantern."
Ji Zhao's tears flowed even more, "Pa-ta" fell on his clothes, he couldn't speak, and whenever he spoke, he cried.
Only then did Zong Zhen realize something was wrong, walked to the couch in two steps, sat down beside Ji Zhao, leaned over, and frowned: "Why are you crying?"
Ji Zhao pursed his mouth, tears streaming down more and more.
Zongzhen immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe his tears, Ji Zhao avoided his face, Zongzhen pinched his chin, forcing Ji Zhao to look up at him.Such an action made Ji Zhao remember the day Zong Zhen kissed him, and he cried even worse...
He thought, why is he so miserable?
It's hard to fall in love with someone, even if the other person is a married man, even himself!
He thought he could forget about this person, but he couldn't do it after meeting him!
Ji Zhao cried "Wow", Zong Zhen was so frightened that he put his arms around his shoulders: "What's the matter? Is the Ji family angry at you? Tell me!"
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand and pushed him away, crying and saying, "No one is angry with me, so don't touch me."
"You're just right, how can you cry?" Zong Zhen resolutely sat beside him, wiped his tears with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Come back to the palace with me tomorrow morning, and I'll pick you up early in the morning."
"The palace is not my home! Why should I go!"
"Did someone say something that shouldn't be said when we were in the palace?" Zong Zhen thought about it, and there was only this reason, "Did you hear what Aunt Zhang said to me that day? Don't you hear what Aunt Zhang said to me? Care, I said you can live in the palace, you can, you are the same as Fu Chen."
Ji Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "How am I the same as the princess?"
His eyes were clear, Zong Zhen was stunned for a moment, yes, how is Ji Zhao and Fu Chen the same?
He was also stunned.
Ji Zhao's eyes seemed to see through the sincerity that he didn't even know, Zong Zhen said, "I'm Fuchen's elder brother, and also your elder brother."
If Ji Zhao cries again, he will know!
Zong Zhen must have drunk too much and kissed wrong that day!Zong Zhen doesn't like him at all, he just treats him as his younger brother!
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand to push him again: "I didn't hear anything! I will never enter the palace again! You go!"
Zong Zhen was at a loss, and said cautiously: "Tomorrow, look at the lights—"
"Go!" Seeing that he didn't respond, Ji Zhao turned over to get on the bed, "If you don't go, I'll go!" He also shouted out, "Brother, come in, come in!"
Ji Chongjin had no choice but to poke his head at the door. Seeing the situation in the room, he still wanted to leave.
Zong Zhen got up helplessly, and called him to stop: "Mr. Da Lang stay a step..."
Ji Chongjin had no choice but to walk in, and said with a soft smile, "Why are you talking and crying?"
Zongzhen looked at Ji Zhao, but Ji Zhao didn't look at him. Zongzhen sighed in his heart, knowing that today would be like this, he said to Ji Chongjin: "Brother Zhao, please take care of me."
Ji Chongjin's heart moved, he didn't expect the prince to call him so close, he had never called third brother like this.
Ji Zhao snapped, "Don't worry about my business from now on! I have myself to take care of!"
Zongzhen looked at him helplessly again, and Ji Chongjin hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry..."
Zong Zhen looked at Ji Zhao: "I'm leaving..."
Ji Zhao lowered his head and pouted.
Zong Zhen sighed and walked away.
Ji Chongjin sent him out, and Zong Zhen led the people to the back of the house, apparently to climb the wall again.
Ji Chongjin thought it was funny, His Royal Highness came over the wall in the middle of the night?Wait——Ji Chongjin sensed something was wrong, he stood there thinking for a while, and immediately went back to the room, just in time to see Ji Zhao lowering his head and wiping tears.
Suddenly, an astonishing, shocking thought came to his mind.
The grandfather happily left him to say a few words, and gave him a big red envelope, telling him to play well at home, and then went out to meet friends. Ji Zhao was hesitating to see his cheap father, Ji Muzhi, when the steward outside came in to report: "Mr. Dalang, Mr. Sanlang, King Zheng and the fifth son came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings."
"what--"
These two are not familiar with Ji's family, so they came here to pay New Year's greetings, obviously they came to see him.
Ji Chongjin who accompanied him really looked at him: "They must be looking for you."
Ever since he fell off the cliff that day and was found by Zongzhen again, whether Ji Zhao lives in the mountains or in the palace, he seems to have been isolated from the world. These days, Zongzhen is the only one in his life, and occasionally inserts into Fuchen. The princess said a few words.At this time, Ji Zhaocai realized later, and he hurriedly asked Ji Chongjin: "Is their family okay? Actually, I really didn't blame them that day. I wanted to run over by myself, and I stepped on the air."
Ji Chongjin thought for a moment, and said: "The day I was on the mountain, King Zheng and the fifth son asked to see him many times, but the prince didn't see him, and no one was allowed to tell you. After we returned to the city, at first no one knew why you fell off the cliff. In two days, it suddenly spread that your falling off the cliff was caused by Prince Zheng's residence."
"Ah, after that?"
"His Royal Highness is grounded in Prince Zheng's Mansion."
Ji Zhao was very shocked: "I don't know at all."
Ji Chongjin said: "You don't know that you are recuperating in the mountains, but I also think they deserve it. They took the initiative to come to the mountains to play with you. How dangerous is it with such heavy snow? They still want to go fishing with you, even if you are If you take the initiative, they should also persuade you. You are not an ordinary person, and they are too careless! Your Highness the Crown Prince did the right thing!"
"..." Ji Zhao found out, this big brother is also very defensive!Anyway, it was someone else's fault, so he asked anxiously, "Then they came to look for me today, is the ban lifted?!"
"During the Chinese New Year, His Royal Highness lifted the ban."
"Huh—" Ji Zhao let out a breath, just as the steward came in to report again, saying that he had taken the two of them to Jiashutang.
Ji Chongjin got up: "You go, I will go back first, and find someone to call me when you are free."
Ji Zhao saw Zongyan and Zongmi in Jiashutang, as soon as they came in, he quickly got up, looking at them, he didn't know what to say.
Instead, Zongyan strode up to him eagerly, looked at him carefully, up and down, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Your face is okay, I can be regarded as letting go of my heart." He looked at his hand again. , frowning and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Ji Zhao quickly shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, I've already gotten used to it."
Zong Yan looked at him silently, as if he didn't believe him, "Hey..." Ji Zhao smiled, trying to make them relax, seeing Zong Mi also strode up to him, and Zong Yan looked at each other. He took a step back, and then bowed to Ji Zhao together. Ji Zhao was startled, and quickly reached out to stop him, but he only had one hand to move, and it was wrong to stop anyone. He said anxiously, "What are you doing? !"
The two brothers saluted and stood up, Zong Mi said: "This is all our brother's fault, I shouldn't have urged you to go fishing on the mountain that day."
"How can I blame you? It was I who said that I wanted to eat freshly caught fish, and you made the suggestion, and I insisted on going. But I feel very sorry for you... It's all because of me that you are grounded."
Zong Mi said seriously: "His Royal Highness is right to restrain his feet, we did not act properly."
Ji Zhao didn't know what to say immediately, and then Zong Mi heard that Ji Muzhi was also in the mansion, and offered to visit him, and Ji Zhao took the two brothers to visit the cheap father, and Ji Muzhi called Ji Chongjin and Ji Chongyuan together. Zong Mi did not refuse, and wanted to keep the two of them for lunch at the mansion.

Zong Yan was frustrated, "I haven't slept well these days, and I want to go to the mountain to see you every day, but the prince won't let us see, and the prince won't see me, and then he won't let us out , it was finally released during the Chinese New Year, and you are in the palace again."
"If I have something to do, can I still stand here and talk to you?"
"That's right, you've been living in the palace these days, why did you suddenly come to Ji's house again? Don't you have a bad relationship with them?" When there was no one around, Zong Yan said it very directly.
Ji Zhao didn't speak, but Zong Yan said: "Are you arguing with the prince?" He also persuaded, "The prince is very sincere to you. If it's not important, I advise you not to fall out with the prince. Now our family has become a thorn in the prince's eyes."

The two sisters got up together, and Ji Chongjin smiled and said, "I'll take King Zheng and Fifth Young Master to my yard to enjoy the flowers."
The two sisters nodded and watched them go away, they happened to meet Zong Mi who was talking back, Zong Mi smiled at them.The two of them held hands, turned around and continued to walk, but suddenly they were all silent, and their faces turned red quietly.
Although Zong Yan thought it was okay, he laughed at himself, their Prince Zheng's Mansion was already like this, and they were not afraid of being punished and grounded, and it would be fine if they came a few more times.Ji Zhao still felt a little sorry for Zong Yan.

He was also taken aback, did he hear correctly?Although Yin Ming should still be out of town, he shouldn't even have misheard Yin Ming's voice!
"Go and have a look!" Ji Zhao, who likes to watch the excitement, jumped off the bed immediately, put on his cloak and rushed out. Ji Chongjin thought that he was still injured, so he immediately followed, but walked slowly.
"Who is it!" Ji Zhao rushed to the open space behind his bedroom, "Is it Yin Ming!"
Only then did Yin Ming come back to his senses, and said anxiously: "Yes, it's me..." He glanced at the crown prince, and for some reason, he still had the heart to hide it, "Don't come here, I'll come out soon!"
"When did you come back! I heard you talking to someone else! Who is it—" Ji Zhao had rushed behind the tree very quickly, and he looked up, "..."
He opened his mouth blankly and looked at Zong Zhen who was also blank on the wall.
So everyone froze together.
Until Ji Chongjin came along, he lifted the leaves and whispered, "What's the matter?"
Ji Chongjin also raised his head, he was also sluggish, but he reacted the fastest, and said to Yin Ming: "Help Your Highness down quickly."
"Uh, yes!" Yin Ming let go of Cheng Shen who was in his hands, and the two stepped forward together, helping Zong Zhen down.
In fact, Zongzhen didn't need help at all, he was the one who took the lead to climb over the wall every time, but at this time he was obviously stimulated a lot, he was helped off the wall with a cold expression on his face.
Ji Zhao also came back to his senses, he turned his back and left directly.
Zong Zhen immediately looked at his back, clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and Ji Chongjin pretended that he hadn't seen the scene just now, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is here to find the third younger brother? This way please..."
"Cough—" Zong Zhen cleared his throat, and followed Ji Chongjin.
Ji Chongjin took Zongzhen to Ji Zhao's room, and said with a smile, "Third Brother, you can talk with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I will go back to my yard."
"Don't go, I have something very important to tell you tonight."
Ji Chongjin still wanted to say goodbye, but Zong Zhen said first: "Just listen to him..."
"Then I'll go to the outer room first, and you can talk." Ji Chongjin nodded with a smile towards Zongzhen, and turned to go out.
There were only the two of them left in the room again, Ji Zhao had already climbed onto the couch and sat upright with his back facing Zong Zhen.
"Cough..." Zong Zhen cleared his throat again, and walked towards him. Ji Zhao seemed to have eyes behind him, and said, "Stay away from me."
"..." Zong Zhen was neither advancing nor retreating.
Ji Zhao sat with his back to him, but he almost cried. It's not an exaggeration at all.He was shocked by himself. These days, Ji Chongjin talked with him before going to bed, and Zong Yan played with him when he woke up. No matter day or night, he always packed his time. Yes, he did it on purpose. In short, he didn't want to think about Zong Zhen.
He has never liked anyone before, and he has no experience with the action or emotion of "liking".
He thought that this kind of thing, as long as you try your best not to think about it, will fade away one day. He is working hard for it these days, and he feels that he is doing pretty well.
However, just now, when he saw the man on the wall, he realized that everything was in vain.
He had missed this man so much.
Ji Zhao bowed his head and said, "Don't ask me why I left the palace, and don't ask me why I live here, in short, don't ask anything, I won't say anything, and I won't ask what you are here for, let alone ask Why did you climb over the wall! You go!"
"I don't ask..." Zong Zhen said so.
Ji Zhao was even more sad, he really wanted to hear more from this man, but Zong Zhen was going to marry the princess!
He wanted to chase Zong Zhen away again, Zong Zhen said behind him: "But I want to tell you, I climbed over the wall because I want to see you."
"... "
Ji Zhao felt that Zong Zhen was the "straight man" that people used to say in his previous era. Does he know what to say and what not to say? !
Ji Zhao's tears flowed out instantly, and he lowered his head subconsciously.
Zongzhen didn't know that he was crying, and he was still behind him, saying: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I want to take you to see the lantern."
Ji Zhao's tears flowed even more, "Pa-ta" fell on his clothes, he couldn't speak, and whenever he spoke, he cried.
Only then did Zong Zhen realize something was wrong, walked to the couch in two steps, sat down beside Ji Zhao, leaned over, and frowned: "Why are you crying?"
Ji Zhao pursed his mouth, tears streaming down more and more.
Zongzhen immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe his tears, Ji Zhao avoided his face, Zongzhen pinched his chin, forcing Ji Zhao to look up at him.Such an action made Ji Zhao remember the day Zong Zhen kissed him, and he cried even worse...
He thought, why is he so miserable?
It's hard to fall in love with someone, even if the other person is a married man, even himself!
He thought he could forget about this person, but he couldn't do it after meeting him!
Ji Zhao cried "Wow", Zong Zhen was so frightened that he put his arms around his shoulders: "What's the matter? Is the Ji family angry at you? Tell me!"
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand and pushed him away, crying and saying, "No one is angry with me, so don't touch me."
"You're just right, how can you cry?" Zong Zhen resolutely sat beside him, wiped his tears with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Come back to the palace with me tomorrow morning, and I'll pick you up early in the morning."
"The palace is not my home! Why should I go!"
"Did someone say something that shouldn't be said when we were in the palace?" Zong Zhen thought about it, and there was only this reason, "Did you hear what Aunt Zhang said to me that day? Don't you hear what Aunt Zhang said to me? Care, I said you can live in the palace, you can, you are the same as Fu Chen."
Ji Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "How am I the same as the princess?"
His eyes were clear, Zong Zhen was stunned for a moment, yes, how is Ji Zhao and Fu Chen the same?
He was also stunned.
Ji Zhao's eyes seemed to see through the sincerity that he didn't even know, Zong Zhen said, "I'm Fuchen's elder brother, and also your elder brother."
If Ji Zhao cries again, he will know!
Zong Zhen must have drunk too much and kissed wrong that day!Zong Zhen doesn't like him at all, he just treats him as his younger brother!
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand to push him again: "I didn't hear anything! I will never enter the palace again! You go!"
Zong Zhen was at a loss, and said cautiously: "Tomorrow, look at the lights—"
"Go!" Seeing that he didn't respond, Ji Zhao turned over to get on the bed, "If you don't go, I'll go!" He also shouted out, "Brother, come in, come in!"
Ji Chongjin had no choice but to poke his head at the door. Seeing the situation in the room, he still wanted to leave.
Zong Zhen got up helplessly, and called him to stop: "Mr. Da Lang stay a step..."
Ji Chongjin had no choice but to walk in, and said with a soft smile, "Why are you talking and crying?"
Zongzhen looked at Ji Zhao, but Ji Zhao didn't look at him. Zongzhen sighed in his heart, knowing that today would be like this, he said to Ji Chongjin: "Brother Zhao, please take care of me."
Ji Chongjin's heart moved, he didn't expect the prince to call him so close, he had never called third brother like this.
Ji Zhao snapped, "Don't worry about my business from now on! I have myself to take care of!"
Zongzhen looked at him helplessly again, and Ji Chongjin hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry..."
Zong Zhen looked at Ji Zhao: "I'm leaving..."
Ji Zhao lowered his head and pouted.
Zong Zhen sighed and walked away.
Ji Chongjin sent him out, and Zong Zhen led the people to the back of the house, apparently to climb the wall again.
Ji Chongjin thought it was funny, His Royal Highness came over the wall in the middle of the night?Wait——Ji Chongjin sensed something was wrong, he stood there thinking for a while, and immediately went back to the room, just in time to see Ji Zhao lowering his head and wiping tears.
Suddenly, an astonishing, shocking thought came to his mind.
