Should the soul

Kong Jie was quick and neat in his work. On this day, he came to Xianyue Tower to return to his command. He thought about what to bring to the princess. After thinking about it for a while, he chose two small things, one plum, and the other honey-soaked betel sauce. He wanted to see Which one does she like to eat? "Mr. Cheng is so diligent. I have a doubt. He is still busy with official duties in the middle of the night. Does he really have so many official duties?"

"Why are you worrying about it?"

The princess sat on the high platform, picked up something sour to eat, and said casually: "Mr. Cheng, there are not many people who can stay with us after so many years. Of course, my imperial brother has to rely on him...but you pay attention to the daily life of the old man." What is Shichen doing? Have you taken a fancy to him?"

Kong Jie accepted his fate, as long as he spoke, the princess could always get around to this issue.

"No."

Kong Jie repeated solemnly, seeing the boss who gave him money in front of him, he didn't dare to say anything more.

But this time the princess didn't tease him like last time, but said seriously: "It's best if you don't like it, old men of this age are the most deceptive, there are so many silly little girls and boys in the world, don't imitate them."

The princess was old-fashioned, and Kong Jie couldn't help but tease: "Your Highness means that Duke Cheng is not a good match?"

"How about testing me?"

The princess raised her eyebrows: "What I mean is that Zhou Yin's experience and age are so high, even if he doesn't do anything, children who have never seen him will be recruited. You are mine, you must not be a fool."

"I'm no fool."

Kong Jie was not convinced, and bickered with her, "The princess said that for other reasons, because King Anping is your brother, and you don't want Duke Cheng to be touched by others."

When the princess was silent, her huge eyes suddenly lifted.

Kong Jie turned his head to look at her sensitively: "Your Highness, did I say something wrong?"

The princess remained expressionless and did not move for a long time: "King Anping is indeed my elder brother."

She stared at Kong Jie with extreme calmness in her conceited eyes, and slowly added: "But if I were to attack him, I wouldn't say that. If my fifth brother is still here, it doesn't matter how much he looks like him." No matter how young you are, Zhou Yin will not be divided by others. Fifth brother is not here, and I am too lazy to worry about such a big man like Zhou Yin. You are using the wrong mind."

The calm atmosphere was suddenly disturbed after these words.

Kong Jie didn't want to change her hairstyle to cause such a storm, so she said quickly, "I don't know what's good and what's wrong, and I took the princess's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Your Highness, please calm down, don't worry about it."

The princess stared at her relentlessly: "Then do you have any thoughts about Zhou Yin?"

Kong Jie raised his hand: "I have no idea."

The princess hummed: "That's right, those who work for me cannot be seduced by a fox."

Kong Jie: "..."

The princess chose a comfortable position and nestled in the back pillow: "I wanted to ask a few days ago, how did you know about me."

She was asking about pregnancy.Her monthly letter was inconsistent, and she didn't think much about it for less than two months. The aunts around her didn't know that she was pregnant, but Kong Jie made it clear and so sure. It was strange for her to think about it afterwards.

Kong Jie pondered for a while. He thought the princess would ask this question. He had prepared a set of arguments before, but now he hesitated a little. But the princess knew that he was thinking something wrong when he saw his eyes rolling around. She warned with her index finger: "Don't Prevaricate me, say what you have."

Kong Jie showed an expression of "Okay then", and said with some embarrassment, "Your Highness, tell me something you may not believe... I can see ghosts."

The princess frowned: "What?"

Saying that you "can see ghosts" is much safer than saying that you are "a ghost". After all, there is little difference in function, and you will not be shouted and killed in terms of treatment.

Under the surprised eyes of the princess, Kong Jie began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "I can see things that many people can't see when I'm young." He looked around and planned to give an example. He intends to choose the least dangerous one and said, "There is a cat in Xianyue Tower, it was there last time I came here, did it belong to His Royal Highness?"

The princess's expression suddenly changed, she couldn't believe it: "Are you talking about the cat's ghost? I did raise a cat."

Kong Jie stared at the person-high mirror stand in the corner by the window: "Yellow, with three black rings on the tail, it looks like a little lion."

The princess looked at the direction he was looking at, and frowned little by little: "Where is it now?"

She still didn't believe it, and continued to ask: "Then do you know when I raised it? How did it die? What's its name?"

Kong Jie said truthfully: "Your Highness, I can only say what I saw. I can't make a cat answer me."

The princess suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Immediately afterwards, Kong Jie walked towards the mirror stand, raised his hand, scratched his fingers in the void, and stroked up, down, left, and right, as if he was scratching the chin on the top of a kitten's head.

The princess stared fixedly at the void, her delicate and sharp face gradually showed some strangeness, Kong Jie suddenly exaggeratedly said "ah", and the princess immediately asked what's wrong?Kong Jie turned around, with a smile in his eyes: "Its cry is a bit different, it's a bird call."

There was no sound at all in the room.

But the princess suddenly covered her mouth, and nodded almost out of composure: "It's a bird...'Tiger' sounds different from other cats."

She couldn't see anything, but she still came over and stood under the mirror, as if she wanted to touch it too: "It's called 'Tiger', I named it, when I first married in Wuxinhou's mansion two years ago, I always It is with me."

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and she looked at Kong Jie: "Should I put the litter back for it? Will it be hungry? Do I need to prepare food for it?"

Kong Jie smiled: "No, it often sneaks around to eat, you don't need to worry about it, it just wants to stay by your side."

The princess took a deep breath, she seemed to be very excited, her nose and eyes turned red, she choked up for a long time, and then she said to Kong Jie: "You are very powerful, you can compare with Chaoli's Taichang Ling , I haven’t heard of you being the No. [-] person in Duke Cheng’s Mansion before.”

Kong Jie thought for a while, and made up the safest nonsense: "The Duke doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. I can only survive by restraining myself. Can the princess keep it a secret for me?"

The princess nodded vigorously, and only then did she completely believe in Kong Jie: "Yes, you will come to talk to me often in the future."

At that moment, Kong Jie saw the carefully sealed emotions of the girl in front of him, and suddenly slowly opened it up. She was placed in such a high position and suffered so many grievances. Perhaps it was because the person opposite had the ability to communicate between yin and yang. Xiao Xiao was nervous for a moment, and praised in a trembling voice: "Well done, well done..." Immediately afterwards, she asked seriously, even with some respect: "Have you met my brother?"

Kong Jie was taken aback.

What she was asking was definitely not the Lord of the World in the Tai Chi Hall, she was asking about ghosts.

The princess took a breath, and described to him: "You may not see it here, but have you seen it in the Duke's mansion? He was a few years older than you when he died, and he loved to wear... love to wear oranges." Colored clothes, dressed very flamboyantly, and also like to braid themselves."

It was the first time for Kong Jie to see a mortal look at him for help, and he almost saw through the princess's mind at this moment: how much she wished that he had seen it before, and that his hair was shining on her. Even if the person in front of her imitated her brother's appearance with ulterior motives, as long as he said he had seen it, she would not blame him.

but……

Kong Jie said truthfully, "No, I haven't seen him."

Kong Jie said sincerely: "Duke Cheng's mansion is very clean. The Duke escaped death on the battlefield. He can hold back. Ordinary ghosts dare not approach there. As for the hair, his subordinate's facial features are a bit juvenile, and his chin is more normal than that of ordinary people." It is short, so the forehead is exposed, and the top of the skull is padded with two small braids, which has nothing to do with other things."

Knowing that she lost her composure, the princess immediately shook her head, "It's okay, it's fine if you haven't seen it, it's been many years, maybe he was reincarnated, my brother has a big heart, he doesn't like to see our family become like this now, good reincarnation , born in another place, the next life will be happy.”

The princess covered her nose and turned her head away, but after a few breaths, she turned back suddenly and grabbed Kong Jie's arm.

Kong Jie was taken aback.

The princess was trembling, staring at his face, two lines of tears fell down uncontrollably, and said softly, "Kong Jie, he brought me up..."

Immediately afterwards, the delicate girl suddenly burst into tears without warning. She couldn't hold back the sleeve of the person in front of her, and said in grief, "I was still fighting until I was 12 years old, and my brother took me all the time. Beside him, take me wherever I go, outside his and Zhou Yin's big tent is my small tent, and he brought me up."

The princess was not looking at Kong Jie, she was staring at another person through Kong Jie's face, the ghost was caught off guard by the intense emotions of ordinary people, and didn't know what to say, so he could only support the princess who was about to collapse to the ground, Sadly and slowly, he patted her on the back.
