Junru Ziqi

The candle flickered.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Huang Si'er, the night guard maid, and several other maids were picking up lamp wicks in a corner of the room, and when they turned their heads, they saw Ye Zimu who opened the door and walked in.Huang Si'er and a few girls hurriedly put down their work and went to Ye Zimu and knelt down to salute.

Ye Zimu shook his head to signal Huang Si'er to get up.Turning his head to the side, he asked softly, "Did Ziqi fall asleep?"

"Back to Your Highness, I just waited for His Highness to go to bed. No, tomorrow is the day when Second Highness goes to school, so let Second Highness go to rest earlier." Huang Si'er replied with a smile.Give the things in your hands to the hands of other maids standing aside.With a clever smile, he poured a cup of hot tea for His Highness.

"The servants and servants of His Royal Highness have also taken care of them one by one. Please rest assured, Your Highness." Huang Si'er added.

"Well, I got it. It's worked hard." After taking a sip of hot tea, Ye Zimu said again: "Has Ziqi fallen asleep? I'll go in and have a look." Huang Si'er dared not say anything, nodded, and ordered to go with him Just wait outside.Ye Zimu walked in with gentle steps.

Ye Ziqi's sleeping position on the bed was quite restless, a corner of the quilt was kicked away by him in his sleep, revealing his white jade-like ankles, and his little hand was also hugging the corner of the quilt.The nights in early spring are still a bit cold, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold.Ye Zimu shook his head.

Ye Zimu's eyes were doting, and his hands and feet were more gentle, and he walked over slowly.First, she adjusted the quilt for Ye Ziqi, and then covered him with the quilt. She moved gently so as not to wake him up.Looking at Ye Ziqi's sleeping face, Ye Ziqi's little face flushed slightly in his sleep, and his always lively peach blossom eyes were closed, appearing a little more docile than usual.Her hair was messy from rubbing against the pillow.

This is my younger brother.From the day after his mother's death, Ye Zimu secretly swore that he must protect his relatives, and his younger brother is his biggest weakness.

However, the younger brother can no longer stay in the palace and be protected.

The emperor's will cannot be resisted.Leaf stage will also be sent to the palace tomorrow.Ye Zimu knows Ye Ziqi's ability, being a member of the Ye family is definitely not that simple, Ye Ziqi is very smart and has his own pride, and Ye Ziqi will grow up one day.But Ye Zimu didn't want him to be polluted in the palace and grow up. Thinking about it, he felt hateful and terrible.If it is possible, the leaf period should be able to spend a peaceful and beautiful life, but it is a pity that the palace is now on the cusp.

A trace of pain flashed in Ye Zimu's eyes, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

The father and the elders of the Xie family had discussed this issue before, and in the current situation, sending Ye Ziqi in is a good way to appease the emperor.For the family, but also for the Xie family.As for the stubbornness of the emperor and the silence of the Xie family, although Ye Zimu had argued with reason, there was no room for discussion on this matter, and it was settled.

Leaf period must go!

The firelight depicts the sleeping face in the leaf period, which looks so peaceful.

The leaf stage was brought up by Ye Zimu.From being born in the leaf period to learning to speak, and now growing up to be smart and intelligent children are all by my side.But now my younger brother has deviated from his arrangement for him, and cannot spend his life peacefully and beautifully.Ye Zimu was not reconciled.

But I have to protect Leaf Stage no matter what, as long as the palace can survive the crisis, there will always be a chance to send Leaf Stage out again.

Ye Zimu's gaze gradually became firm.Then he helped Ye Ziqi tidy up the quilt, got up and looked at Ye Ziqi's sleeping face, and then left.

Ye Zimu left without noticing.Ye Ziqi, who was supposed to be sound asleep on the bed, slowly opened his eyes after he left.

————————————————————————

The morning mist, the drizzle.It was the day when Ye Ziqi was going to study at the Kyoto Academy.

Yin time.

You must know that calling the leaf period is really not a good job.The leaf period is a typical bedtime star, especially when the weather is cold, it is even more painful to get up (>_<)

The servants talked nonsense, bit the bullet and carried Ye Ziqi out of the bed.With some furious eyes from the leaf stage, this is how to take care of the leaf stage.

Although Ye Ziqi was very upset when he was forced to scream, but his good upbringing made him hum slightly to express his dissatisfaction ╭(╯^╰)╮.

Mrs. Ye's mourning period is still there, so Ye Ziqi's dress is also more plain.Wearing a white raccoon coat that depicts plum blossoms, and a rabbit fur scarf around his neck, the whole person looks like a small white snowball, against the palm-sized face of Leaf Stage, the whole person looks low-key and delicate.

After getting dressed, Ye Ziqi came down to the main hall of the palace surrounded by everyone.

In the main hall, my brother and father arrived early.Ye Ziqi greeted Ye Ziqi quickly, and winked at Ye Zi Mu's position by the way.Suddenly softening Ye Zimu's face, Ye Zimu gave Ye Ziqi a doting look, signaling him to be more serious in front of his father.Then the family of three finished their meal together in the side room.

The third prince, Ye Chonghao, is an out-and-out serious figure in power. It is rare to see that when he is gentle, most of the time he is arrogant and angry.Ever since Mrs. Ye passed away, she became even colder and couldn't get close.But it can be seen that he loves his wife very much.Although the third prince and Mrs. Ye Xie Mouyao are in a family marriage, they have been in harmony and love each other since they got married. Mrs. Ye is gentle, beautiful and a woman with great wisdom. All with great love and expectation.

Now that his beloved wife has left, his beloved eldest son and second son have been sent to the palace.The third prince suddenly felt that he was a little powerless.And all of this has just begun. According to the emperor's temperament, he really made up his mind to get rid of Xie's family and himself, so the next thing is the real trouble.

Sighing softly, the Third Prince took the teacup handed over by the maidservant next to him.After cutting twice, he raised his head and said to Ye Ziqi who was sitting beside him: "Ziqi, come here. Listen, no matter what, you have entered the palace. Be careful in everything. Your every move is not just about yourself. It also represents the entire palace. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask your brother. You two can take care of you in there.”

Ye Ziqi's face darkened, and he nodded obediently to indicate that he knew.

Just as Ye Ziqi and Ye Zimu were leaving, Prince Ye suddenly looked up at Ye Ziqi, with a little care and pride on his always cold and serious face.These two children are the pride of the family and the hope of the Ye family.Ye Wangye said softly: "Son. You know, people from the Ye family are definitely not so easy to bully."

It's like an exhortation and a kind of acquiescence.Leaf Stage was taken aback.It was at this moment that Ye Ziqi felt that perhaps this person who armed himself with frost, his father, loved his child.He used his body and mind to carry the fate of the whole family and run for the family.He has the brains of a statesman without the flair for expressing his feelings, but that may be the father.This is the family affection of the Wangfu family.

Ye Ziqi squinted his eyes, feeling lonely in his heart, and secretly sighed.I must not let the Ye family be defeated so easily.

The little leaf period buried the imprint of the family in her heart.And this is the real Ye family!

Back in the room, seeing the man kneeling on the ground with a docile smile on his face, Ye Ziqi turned his head and asked Ye Zi Mu beside him: "Who is he?".Ye Zimu looked at the person who was arranging the items of the leaf stage and replied: "He is the book boy I selected for you, and he will go into the palace with you."

"Oh." Ye Ziqi nodded like a good baby.After all, he was still a child at heart, and Ye Zimu let go of his obedient baby appearance as soon as he went out.After all, the Leaf Stage usually rarely sees strangers who are similar to their own age.So he looked at the little book boy standing aside with interest.

The book boy is a little older than himself, about j□j years old, a little taller than the leaf stage.Seeing Ye Ziqi approaching with a cunning face, he quickly knelt down and said, "Hello, Second Highness."

"What's your name?" Ye Ziqi asked curiously. "If you go back to the Second Highness, the younger one is named Lin Zhuo. Thanks to the favor of the housekeeper and the First Highness, I will go to the palace with the Second Highness." Although he is not very old, Lin Zhuo is also a veteran, and he can be selected to serve the palace. The Second Highness's job is not something that everyone can do, and it takes some skills to do it.Lin Zhuo's smooth and prudent behavior was deeply trusted by the housekeeper, so he recommended him to Ye Zimu.

Ye Ziqi walked up to him, pinched Lin Zhuo's chin with one hand and made Lin Zhuo look up.No matter how calm and tactful Lin Zhuo was, he was taken aback by His Royal Highness's move.But Lin Zhuo obediently allowed Ye Ziqi to behave like this.

"Not bad." Ye Ziqi said approvingly, and Lin Zhuo's face suddenly turned red.After all, this is a beauty praising herself. Although she is still a little beauty, she is still very lethal.This is no teasing!I'm the one who wants to tease you... Ahem, Lin Zhuo stopped his wild thoughts qaq

Putting down the hand that was pinching Lin Zhuo's face, Ye Ziqi didn't care at all about his behavior as if he was molesting others just now, and there was only one guy around him to keep him company, so it would be good if he looked pleasing to the eye.

I won't say that this is also another reason why Ye Zimu chose Lin Zhuo

He wiped his hands casually.Ye Ziqi gestured to Lin Zhuo, who was holding his own things, and went out amidst the crowd's kneeling.

Ye Zimu stood by the side of the carriage with his back straight, as reliable as a green pine, leaving a sense of security beyond words this morning.Ye Ziqi felt that his eyes were a little dry. This is my brother, the brother who can be relied on no matter what happens.

Watching the carriage slowly drive out of the palace.During the leaf period, the heart is clear.As long as there is a brother, there is nothing to be timid, but it is full of novelty for the future.Life is nothing but an adventure, and since there is no way to avoid it, soldiers have to cover it up.

The morning sun in Kyoto is icy cold, just like this icy world.

The gorgeous carriage rushed to the palace in the early morning light.
