Junru Ziqi

The condition of the leaf period is not very good today, and it has been coughing since the morning.It was still very early, with the humidity and coldness typical of early morning Kyoto.It was this kind of weather that made Ye Ziqi cough so much that his lungs ached.But today the leaf period has big things to do.

In the leaf period, you have to enter the palace.

This entry into the palace is very different from the previous ones.I used to go with my father or elder brother Ye Zimu, but this time Ye Ziqi was declared alone, so I had to go alone.

In such a suitable autumn, the leaf period is tightly wrapped, and the small face and hands are shrunk under the coat.The leaf period is not as fleshy as it was when I was a child. The small face has gradually lost weight during the process of illness and growth. It looks like a young tree that is branching, with a handsome appearance.But it is such a person who suffers from a cold illness. What is waiting for him depends on today.

Ye Ziqi is actually very aware of the emperor's temperament, this time, it must not be easy.The emperor attacked himself as the weakest point of the palace, but Ye Ziqi was such an easy person to mess with.

Ye Zimu was at the side of the carriage and carefully instructed Lin Zhuo to take care of Ye Ziqi, while Qi Ye, the guard selected behind, dressed up as an ordinary guard and stood beside Ye Ziqi.For an excellent bodyguard, Qi Ye's camouflage ability is very good, his temperament and everything have changed, and he is very ordinary, so it is better to stay by Ye Ziqi's side.

Ye Zimu, a good brother, didn't say anything, but he was very worried about Ye Ziqi, and he couldn't help but replace Ye Ziqi.Ye Ziqi smiled and said goodbye to Ye Zimu, and promised: "Brother, I'm fine, I just went to explain the situation. Don't worry, I will come back soon." Seeing Ye Zimu's expression eased, Ye Ziqi finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

Once inside the carriage, Ye Ziqi's smile disappeared.He half-lyed in the carriage, squinting his eyes and feigning sleep.Lin Zhuo didn't dare to disturb, so he could only stay quietly on the sidelines.

The place the emperor invited was very strange. It was neither a study room for important affairs nor an exquisite building in the garden, but a very strange room.The interior decoration of the room is very ordinary. It is very ordinary in the huge palace, and it can be seen that it was built several years ago, and the room is rarely used.

The wind is a bit strong today, and the leaf period felt a little dizzy from being blown by the wind under the strong pressure, so I walked into the house dressed up.

A young eunuch ran in and reported like Ye Ziqi: "The emperor is still dealing with the court affairs with the ministers in the study. Please wait patiently, the emperor will come later."

Ye Ziqi nodded gently, expressing that he was fine, but he also knew in his heart that this was the emperor's majesty.Shaking his head slightly, the leaf stage can wait at this time.

Leaf Stage walked around the room for a while, but always felt that something was wrong.Ye Ziqi didn't like the feeling it gave him here, and felt an indescribably weird feeling.

This house is not like the palace where charcoal fires are burned for the leaves all day long to keep warm.Maybe the eunuchs were negligent, maybe the emperor did it on purpose, anyway, Ye Ziqi did feel a little cold.

Sitting down, drinking the freshly brewed tea, Ye Ziqi barely cheered up.

Waiting is a game of patience.

I don't know how long it has been.Ye Ziqi woke up from the trance of waiting when he heard the ding-dong of the bead curtain.What should come will always come.

The vermilion robe worn by the emperor today is embroidered with the pattern of dragons rising from the sea. The golden waves at the lower corner of the robe are turbulent, and the sleeves are lifted by the movement of his hands. The sharp brilliance has a kind of inherent nobility, and the whole person exudes a majestic aura of a king who shakes the world.

He is indeed more suitable to be an emperor than the third prince.Ruthless and ruthless, kindness and power are combined, and the spirit in his eyes is flying, just like his publicized foreign policy, and like his restrained domestic wisdom.

Leaf stage's hands trembled a little, not sure if it was because of the cold or because of the emperor.But it's not about being scared, the leaf period is more about...excitement

Ye Ziqi stepped forward to salute, the emperor looked at him coldly, with a dazed expression on his face.But that was only for a moment, and he immediately hid it.

"Give me a seat." The emperor simply ordered the eunuchs on the left and right, and the eunuchs were also clever, and immediately waited on Ye Ziqi and replaced them with new tea.

The emperor looked at Ye Ziqi in front of him, and felt that he was a bit different from before. His face was second, but his temperament changed the most.It seems that the growth rate of the leaf stage is very fast, which is really exciting, the emperor thought, but it also depends on whether he has this life and a future.

"I've heard from the Third Prince about your matter. I'm really sorry for your young age." The emperor asked with a loving and concerned face, "Is your body better now?"

This smiling tiger!Ye Ziqi complained in his heart, but he continued to preach: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's all because of my carelessness that caused this."

"I heard that it accidentally fell into the lake at night, is there such a thing?" the emperor asked curiously.

Yes, it's not because of you.Ye Ziqi was very calm, turned his mind several times, and organized his words before he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, it's all because it was dark and left in a hurry." Ye Ziqi frowned slightly as if he hated his mistake.The two acting schools are deceiving each other but everyone knows it.

After Ye Ziqi finished speaking, he immediately interjected: "So today I am here to ask the emperor to give me a human-shaped warm jade, only this thing can beg for my life, and I also ask the emperor for mercy."

Ye Ziqi knew that there were too many mistakes, so he went straight to the emperor and came out.Now it's up to the emperor, Ye Ziqi can only see the tricks.

The emperor was very surprised, he didn't expect that this person could really talk about this matter without changing his face, and lied to himself.But what reason do I have to expose it? Everyone has a step down, just right.It's a pity that such an outstanding person is actually Ye Chonghao's child, or with her...

The leaf period is waiting, waiting for the emperor's statement.Unconsciously coughing softly, the emperor seemed to react and asked the eunuch to light a charcoal fire.

"This piece of jade is still a treasure discovered by General Wei when he went out to fight. You can give it to you. It's not very useful in the palace." The emperor asked casually: "By the way, you and General Wei ordered it. Are you familiar with the bastard? He is indeed a good boy, and he will be a warrior on the battlefield in the future if he can be guided by General Wei."

"I remember that after what happened at the racecourse before, you are all very well. It is a pity that General Wei encountered some problems on the battlefield. I am afraid that Wei Daoran will get up and go to the frontier soon, and there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future. "The emperor didn't smile anymore, and just looked at Ye Ziqi like this, as if he wanted to see something.

The room was warmed by the charcoal fire, but the hands and feet became colder during the leaf stage.Ye Ziqi knew that this was the emperor's focus today.

Ye Ziqi lowered his head, avoiding the emperor's probing eyes.The Taoism in the leaf stage is not as deep as that of the emperor, this problem is really difficult to reach the leaf stage.But at the moment, he did not dare to answer vaguely: "Yes, the incident at the racecourse a few years ago was indeed an opportunity. At that time, I believed that the person that General Wei valued was definitely not someone who could do such a thing, so I spoke out to protect Wei Daoran , Fortunately, no one was wrongly blamed that time."

Secretly pinched the palm of his hand, forcing himself to find a way out.Ye Ziqi knew that the emperor was testing himself.Because the military power of the army is the bottom line that the emperor can't touch.If the emperor suspects that he is secretly befriending Wei Daoran and even drags General Wei into the relationship, things will be bad.

"The people trained by General Wei are naturally good. If they can go out to serve the country and expand the territory of the Daling Dynasty. My classmate is also happy for him." Ye Ziqi's tone was light, as if he was just with Wei Daoran Ordinary classmates, even more alienated.

"En. That's good." The emperor looked unpredictable, but he still nodded.Seeing Ye Ziqi's sick expression, he said to Ye Ziqi in a calm tone: "Go back, send someone to the palace later about Nuanyu. You are not well from the cold, so don't go out too much, take care of your illness. "

Ye Ziqi raised his head and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.Is this the emperor restraining himself in disguise?

Nodding blankly, Ye Ziqi still reluctantly maintained a humble posture and politely thanked and left.

Ye Ziqi looked back subconsciously, but the bead curtain concealed the emperor's expression.Looking at Ye Ziqi's leaving back, the emperor was unexpectedly silent.

They are really similar, although they have grown up a bit, but the eyebrows and temperament are still so similar to his mother.It seems that Ye Ziqi has regained the appearance when he met Mrs. Ye for the first time here.

That was a long time ago.The emperor lowered his head, pointed at the table with his fingers, looked at his fingers, and was rarely in a daze.

Ye Ziqi took a deep breath when he was on his way back to the palace.

Lin Zhuo didn't dare to say anything all the way, and Lin Zhuo was too scared by the emperor in the palace.Worried about the leaf period, but don't know how to speak.

The leaf stage, which was originally sitting in the carriage, suddenly became short of breath.Unexpectedly, he stood up abruptly and overturned everything on the small table in front of him.

It was the first time Lin Zhuo had seen such a furious Ye Ziqi, and his eyes widened in surprise.Qi Ye on the side wasn't frightened, but he didn't stop Ye Ziqi either, allowing him to vent.

After smashing everything that could be smashed and falling in the carriage, Ye Ziqi was panting heavily, feeling unconvinced.

It's really cruel, not reconciled, really not reconciled.Gritting teeth at the leaf stage.

One day, I will be so strong that no one can control me like this!

Going back to the palace in a dawdling manner, he cheered up and briefly told Ye Zimu what happened today to Ye Zimu who had been waiting for him in the palace all day.

Deliberately hiding some things, just talking about things for the better, Ye Ziqi doesn't want his brother to worry too much about him.Ye Zimu didn't ask any further questions. Seeing Ye Ziqi's back retreating back into the house, Ye Zimu slapped the table hard.

Ye Zimu was blaming himself, feeling powerless.The younger brother he loves the most, but he can't protect him.In Ye Zimu's eyes, Ye Ziqi has always been a child who needs to be protected by himself, but most of them will grow up, and Ye Ziqi is now learning how to protect himself and his family.good thing?bad thing?

The little yellow bird on the window sill appeared with Wei Daoran's letter, and with a round belly fed by Leaf Stage, it jumped over and rubbed against Leaf Stage.

The leaf stage did not unload the note.

Many things flashed through my mind, including the first time they met, by the lotus pond, rolling off a horse in a racecourse, at a banquet, when an injury was found, and many other memories of the past few years .In fact, they have known each other for a long time.

However, they are destined not to be friends.

Wei Daoran wrote on the paper:

"I'm going to go to my father's battlefield the day after tomorrow. It seems that something happened, so I was ordered by the emperor to kiss me. I will go to the border with my father in the future. But I didn't make any preparations, it was too sudden .I'm leaving..."

"And. Tomorrow."

"You'll be here, won't you?"
