Junru Ziqi

The eyelashes in the leaf stage trembled slightly, waking up from sleep.

The little yellow bird, which is usually used to communicate with Wei Daoran, seemed to be unable to stand on the small platform specially made for it by the window, singing cheerfully, looking very lively and cute.Ye Ziqi only glanced at it and then turned away, just lying on the bed blankly.The day started, and troubles rushed to my heart the moment I woke up, making Ye Ziqi feel a little tired.

Yes, until now the Leaf Stage has not uncovered the note on the little yellow bird's leg.

During the leaf period, get up and eat as usual.However, today is destined to not be an easy day.

Just when Ye Ziqi and his elder brother Ye Zimu were enjoying breakfast together, a servant hurried into the room, and before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said to Ye Ziqi: "Your Highness, Second Highness, the emperor has come to order!" , get ready to receive the order."

Ye Ziqi froze for a moment, but probably knew what was going on.The third prince was not at the residence, so Ye Zimu accompanied Ye Ziqi, quickly changed into more formal attire and rushed to the front lobby.

The long corridor, this section of the road, the leaf stage walked very steadily.Whether happy or sad, Ye Ziqi knelt very steadily.

He was still the same eunuch as before, and his pretentious appearance hadn't changed much in the past few years.

He read: "Ye Ziqi received the decree. Blessed by heaven, the emperor said that Ye Ziqi was suffering from cold syndrome, and today he specially bestowed Donghai Humanoid Nuanyu. I also hope that I can live well in the palace and recuperate in the future. Don't disappoint my good intentions. The matter of the Kyoto Academy has also been postponed for the time being. I agree."

"Accept the order." The eunuch smiled at Ye Ziqi with a hypocritical and kind face.

The first time he received the decree was shortly after his mother's death. Ye Ziqi hid behind his father and Ye Zimu, full of meaningless ignorance about the future.But this time, Ye Ziqi knew clearly whether it was a blessing or a curse, but he could only accept the imperial decree helplessly.

Take the box handed over from the eunuch.The box looked exquisite, and inside it was the warm jade that was used for life-saving during the leaf stage.The whole piece of jade is dark red in color, and the appearance of the doll looks extremely dexterous, and the leaf stage feels comfortable even when holding it.It seems that this is indeed a treasure.

Ye Zimu stood up, and gently instructed the servants beside him to treat his father-in-law well.Ye Zimu is much more stable than a few years ago, and he is already the eldest son of a qualified palace who can take charge of his own affairs.He coaxed the eunuch to go back to the palace happily.

Ye Ziqi stood aside without speaking, looked at Ye Zimu's side face, and slowly covered the box with one hand.

If it is really for the family, for the brother, maybe freedom is really not that important, Ye Ziqi thought.

But Ye Zimu is in a good mood now, is his younger brother grounded in the palace in disguise?It's not so much a cultivation in the palace, it's better to say it's still a bird imprisoned by the emperor, but the place is different.

Wearing warm jade, there is an illusion that the spirit jade is starting to work, but it is really warm.Feeling the touch on the skin, Ye Ziqi felt better for a while.A little bit of cold before may have killed the leaf stage, but from now on as long as you wear it all the time, although your body is still not good, the leaf stage will feel better in winter.

Touching Ye Ziqi's head in a habitual way, Ye Zimu suddenly discovered that the child who used to only reach his waist had begun to grow taller now, and the child who was following behind him and calling him his brother was taught by himself. My child has already begun to transform from a child into a teenager.

Ye Ziqi raised his head, looked along Ye Zimu's hand, and smiled as before, the small dimple hanging on his face warmed Ye Zimu's heart.It would be great if he could always guard his younger brother, Ye Zimu sighed.

------------------

The little yellow bird was jumping and jumping, and the leaf period was teasing it with the food that was fed to it. Watching its chubby appearance chasing the food, it looked very interesting.

Lin Zhuo was handing the bird food to Ye Ziqi, while secretly looking at the little yellow bird's legs.He didn't poke at the leaf stage, Po still teased the little yellow bird by himself.

"Second Highness, this note..." Lin Zhuo couldn't help but speak.

Since yesterday, the Second Highness has been ignoring the letter written by Wei Daoran on the little yellow bird's lap.It's almost evening now, Lin Zhuo is very curious, but judging by Ye Ziqi's appearance, it seems that he has no interest in it.

"Are you talking about this?" Ye Ziqi unloaded the note lightly, but did not open it.Swaying in front of Lin Zhuo's eyes, he shrugged at Lin Zhuo and laughed at himself: "So what, left and right are just annoyed."

Lin Zhuo shook his head lightly, and said softly to Ye Ziqi: "Why bother, Your Highness, it's just your own thoughts. If you don't want to watch it, why would you be absent-minded all day long?"

Ye Ziqi was taken aback, it seemed that Lin Zhuo still knew him very well, and he didn't even realize that he had teased the little yellow bird too much.I don't know why the leaf stage always has a feeling of restlessness.

The leaf stage was no longer hypocritical, and opened the note.Holding the note, he didn't speak again, but his brows were unconsciously frowned.

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

Ye Ziqi handed the note to Lin Zhuo, and now even Lin Zhuo frowned.

"The Second Highness going down?" Lin Zhuo asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Ye Ziqi was unexpectedly a little confused.At this time, the leaf period will be like a child, which makes people feel distressed.

Lin Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "The meaning of the slave is that the Second Highness should not go. Now the situation is complicated, and anything can happen. The palace is now under strict surveillance. If the emperor finds out about going to Wei Daoran, then It's hard to say."

"This..."

Ye Ziqi turned his head and looked at Qi Ye who was quietly guarding beside him.Qi Ye turned his head and looked at Ye Ziqi for a long time before slowly saying, "I'll take you there."

Just such a sentence successfully stunned Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo reacted and said angrily: "You! Do you know how much trouble this incident will bring to the Second Highness and the palace?"

Qi Ye only had an indifferent expression, but his eyes looking at Ye Ziqi were extraordinarily soft.He replied: "Master wants to go, then go, there is nothing to worry about."

Ye Ziqi's hand unconsciously touched the warm jade on his neck. The feel of the tentacles was very delicate and gentle, but it was like the shackles the emperor put on himself.

Licking his somewhat dry lips, Ye Ziqi said softly: "I want to go..."

"Lin Zhuo, I want to go." Ye Ziqi looked up, his eyes were the eyes that Ye Ziqi had always refused to admit defeat.It seemed to be a kind of request, and Lin Zhuo felt distressed at such a leaf stage, and couldn't find words to persuade him for a while.

It's already evening, and Ye Ziqi doesn't know when Wei Daoran will leave, and he doesn't even have an agreed place.But the leaf stage wants to go, but the leaf stage is not reconciled.

Because it was inconvenient to bring Lin Zhuo with him, only Qi Ye followed Ye Ziqi, and Lin Zhuo stayed to prevent accidents for Ye Ziqi.When changing into casual clothes during the leaf period, Lin Zhuo asked Qi Ye with a disapproving expression, "What's the matter with you?"

But Qi Ye unexpectedly turned around and took a few steps in Lin Zhuo's direction, sneered and said in a low voice, "Do you know why the master trusts me more? Because you are considering the palace or the Ye family."

"As for me, the only one I want to pledge allegiance to is the Leaf Stage."

Lin Zhuo was dumbfounded, as if he forgot to breathe.Qi Ye smiled evilly, because this is the biggest difference between himself and others.

In Luo Da's palace, the only person who really thinks about Ye Ziqi is himself.Even Lin Zhuo, Mrs. Ye or Ye Zimu, they always have the interests of the palace in their hearts.

Leading Ye Ziqi to avoid Linlin's scattered servant girls in the palace, Qi Ye's kung fu is very good, and the journey was safe and sound.

When passing by the backyard of the palace, Ye Ziqi unexpectedly stopped in his tracks.

Not far away is Nianshan, whom I haven't seen since my illness.Ye Ziqi didn't intend to dodge, and Qi Ye was not in a hurry, seeing Ye Ziqi's reaction, he quietly stood beside Ye Ziqi and waited.

The evening sun is not as warm, but the colors are beautiful.When it shines on Nian Shan's exposed honey-colored arms, he looks full of heroism.But such a person has an unusual temperament.

Ye Ziqi stood there blankly, watching Nian Shan walking towards him with a look of surprise.

But this is such a person, he is very different from everyone else.He is very bold. He once climbed the tree with the leaf stage, and went to the bustling street with the leaf stage.I remember these leaf stages, but now things are different.

Just when Nian Shan was about to speak, Ye Ziqi took out the dagger that Wei Daoran had given him from his bosom, and stabbed fiercely in the direction of Nian Shan without mercy.

Nian Shan turned around subconsciously, grabbed Ye Ziqi's arm, and stopped Ye Ziqi, but was knocked down by Qi Ye in the next second.

Ye Ziqi stepped forward and stepped on Nian Shan's face fiercely, as if he was not discouraged, he still pushed his face, with a rare ferocity on his face.

"It's you. Heh, you hide it quite deep. Isn't your kung fu good?" Leaf stage's peach blossom eyes, which were always watery and soft, were a little red.Everything is too coincidental, it really is a traitor.If it weren't for Ye Ziqi, the emperor's person, he would have removed Nian Shan long ago, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time, as if he had been betrayed.

Nian Shan was so ashamed that he was stepped on, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Ye Ziqi.

Ye Ziqi took out a small porcelain bottle, which was the special medicine given to Ye Ziqi by Senior Gu.It was stuffed into Nian Shan's mouth, and he kicked Nian Shan hard, saying: "If you don't want to die, you know when to say something and when not to say it. Get lost."

Ye Ziqi's face was slightly red, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, hiding his grievance, and followed Qi Ye to the general's mansion.

Time is running out.

In recent years, General Wei's health has become worse and worse.Especially this year, during an encirclement and suppression operation not long ago, he was ambushed by the enemy and suffered stab wounds, causing old diseases.The situation on the frontier suddenly became more severe. The northern Xuesha clan, which had always been at odds with the Daling Dynasty, also began to hoard soldiers and horses. It seemed that their ambitions were not small.

For Wei Daoran to be favored by the emperor at a young age, not only the Conservative Party in the court was not happy, even the people in the general's mansion were not happy.

The general's son-in-law never gave Wei Daoran any good looks, and he was even more angry at this time.Why does the father always value the child of that lowly servant girl, while his own son is more like a display.The opportunity for martial arts to enter the palace is all Wei Daoran, can you not make people jealous.

Wei Daoran has been waiting for Ye Ziqi's reply all day.

From anticipation to dullness.

The general's mansion is more like chasing Wei Daoran, with such indifference, no one will care if Wei Daoran leaves, and the rest are just deeply jealous of him.

Wei Daoran stood alone at the gate of the General's Mansion, fearing that Ye Ziqi would not find him when he came.But from dawn to dusk, the road leading to the General's Mansion was deserted and deserted.

In the evening, the drizzle was falling with a patter.With the sadness that Kyoto has always been.Wei Daoran didn't open an umbrella, just stood there, feeling the moisture on his face.

Wei Daoran has feelings, so he shouldn't get entangled with Ye Ziqi.But I just can't control myself, like a moth to a flame, longing for light and warmth.

Wei Daoran thought that the leaf period would come, but he didn't.Lonely is just like the previous life, just at the door, and waiting is too painful.

From being cold to melting at the beginning, it is now frozen again.

Just like Wei Daoran used to think that he had a friend, or that he could be friends with Ye Ziqi.

But not now.

When Wei Daoran finally stood at the gate of the palace, the butler of the palace was impatiently urging Wei Daoran to get on his horse.They have to rush to the post station the next day.

Night fell quietly, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the gate of the General's Mansion.When Ye Ziqi and Qi Ye rushed over, Wei Daoran was standing at the gate not far away in a daze.

Wei Daoran took a last look around, his black pupils as cold as night revealed Wei Daoran's disappointment.Sighing lightly, he rode his horse and left.

But at the leaf stage, it stands on the outer circle of the fire.After all, he didn't take that step.

Maybe it can be seen at one step forward, but not at the leaf stage.Touching the warm jade on his neck, feeling the warmth it gave him, Ye Ziqi looked at Wei Daoran not far away with a smile on his face.

Qi Ye asked strangely: "Aren't you going?"

Ye Ziqi panted lightly and shook his head, then smiled lightly at Qi Ye and said, "No. This will be fine." There was a look of relief on his face.

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

"Well, here I am."

That young man who was desolate in the busy street, that young man whose gaze was as clear as a spring by the lotus pond, that young man who was desperate for himself on the racecourse, that cold but warm-hearted young man.Finally, on this rainy night, I temporarily left the world of the leaf period.

When will we meet again.What will be waiting for them...
