The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 10 Banquet Disturbance ([-])

Coming out of Mingyue Hall, Mu Qing told Nangong Yanji that Qingxue had gone to the Imperial Garden, and he asked if it was necessary to invite the princess back.

Nan Gongyan shook his head, there's no rush, it's okay to go to the banquet later, anyway, I'm not interested in that kind of banquet, let her have fun for a while.

Nan Gongyan walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden, and soon saw Ji Qingxue strolling leisurely on the Qingshi Road.

Seeing this, Nan Gongyan suddenly stopped and looked at her quietly.

Ji Qingxue was in a good mood at the moment, humming a song: "The world is long, people pass by in a hurry, the tide rises and falls. Kindness and grudges, life and death, how many people can see through..."

It seems that this woman is in a good mood!

Nan Gongyan was about to step forward, but Ji Qingxue suddenly stood under the white plum tree by the roadside, the original joy disappeared immediately, and there was a trace of melancholy on his face.

She gently stroked the branches of the white plum tree, and some pictures emerged in her mind.

——That winter, also under the white plum tree, there was a handsome woman standing under the eaves wearing a bright red brocade fur.

She waved her hand at Ji Qingxue and said that Ah Xue came over, mother made plum cake for you.

As soon as the picture turned, she seemed to be in a fire, and someone was pushing her out fiercely.

Suddenly the beam of the house collapsed and pressed the person below, little Ji Qingxue heard her crying and begging, "Axue, remember you didn't see anything today, it was just an accident, you know?"

My Axue, you must live on!
Ji Qingxue's face was pale, she covered her chest with her hands, and leaned weakly against the tree trunk.

That was a memory belonging to another Ji Qingxue. She stared blankly at Baimei in her palm, and whispered softly: "No hurry, it's just the beginning."

Aunt Yu, Ji Qingling, Ji Lin...everyone who participated in that incident, she will not let go.

"Ji Qingxue, what are you doing here?"

Nan Gongyan's beautiful brows were knitted together, he didn't like to see that fearless woman showing such a fragile and helpless appearance.

Ji Qingxue came back to her senses, and yelled at Nangongyan: "Can you say something first, people will scare people to death!"

That's right, this picture of claws and claws is the Ji Qingxue he knows.

Nan Gongyan retorted: "I'm not a mouse, what are you talking about!"

Ji Qingxue became angry for a while, so she had to keep staring at someone with her eyes.

"Princess, is it really okay to be late for the first banquet in the palace?" Nan Gongyan said lightly.

Ji Qingxue snorted, lifted her skirt and left, completely ignoring Nan Gongyan behind her.

Seeing this, Nan Gongyan frowned, and called again: "Ji Qingxue."

Ji Qingxue was annoyed by being called, turned her head angrily and shouted: "What do you want again!"

Nan Gongyan pointed to the left with an innocent expression: "You're going the wrong way."

"..."

Ji Qingxue and Nan Gongyan were in front of each other, and Nan Gongyan was more than happy to see someone jumping in anger because he thought it was very interesting.

After a while, Ji Qingxue suddenly said: "Nangongyan, don't let your people follow me in the future."

Nan Gongyan didn't say a word, she really found out, and then his eyes wandered to a certain place intentionally or unintentionally.

After receiving the master's gaze, Mu Qing put on a bitter face, and was actually discovered by the princess!This is terrible, I guess I have to go back to Tianchen Pavilion to practice hard!

If you come out of that place, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die!
But Mu Qing began to mutter again, is this princess really just an ordinary Xiangfu lady?How could he even detect his proud tracking technique?
Windward Pavilion.

By the time Nan Gongyan and Ji Qingxue arrived late, the banquet had already begun.

Nan Gongyan found a place to sit down, and just as Ji Qingxue sat next to him, she felt two scorching gazes on her.

A Ji Qingling from not far away, yo, the chick can wake up so quickly, not bad!

Another line of sight came from a man in black clothes.

His eyes kept wandering on Ji Qingxue's body, but Ji Qingxue could feel that he was not malicious, on the contrary his eyes were full of concern.

This person... always gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The emperor raised his wine glass and said loudly: "This is just a family banquet, everyone, don't be restrained, just be more casual."

After a while, a group of dancers dressed in colorful clothes danced in the center of the hall, and the leading dancer was covered with a light veil, with a peony flower painted on her exposed navel, which looked very coquettish.

The eyes of all the people present were stared straight, and Ha Lazi was almost on the ground.

After the dance, the woman leading the dance took off her veil and saluted the emperor, saying, "Qingling joins the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed and safe."

Ji Qingxue thought to herself, I said, why is the vigor of her dancing so familiar, it turned out to be Ji Qingling!
She looked sideways at Nangongyan with a touch of admiration in her eyes. She had seen the salivation of the people present when Ji Qingling was dancing, but Nangongyan didn't respond at all.

This guy is not bad.

Ji Qingxue didn't want her ally to be a lustful guy.

"As expected of the most talented woman in the capital, this dance is also very graceful!" The emperor said to the queen beside him: "After seeing so many performances, this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is probably the daughter of the Ji family who will win the first place."

The queen's gaze drifted towards Ji Qingxue intentionally or unintentionally, and she said thoughtfully: "The emperor's words are only half correct. This year's girl from the Ji family is good, but there may be someone else!"

The emperor followed her gaze, and immediately understood the meaning of the empress's words, yes, how could he forget Yan'er's concubine.

But at the Hundred Flowers Banquet before, it seemed like he had never seen her figure before.

"I don't know what talent Qingxue brought this time?" The emperor suddenly asked.

Ji Qingxue, who was eating wildly, was taken aback by these words, what's the matter, I have something to do here?

She lowered her head and whispered to Nan Gongyan, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that I still want to perform? What do you think I can perform now, smashing a boulder on my chest or going through a fire ring?"

Nan Gongyan looked calm: "You can perform whatever you want, anyway, you must come out on top."

Ji Qingxue's eyes widened: "Why?"

"100 taels."

"I'm not a showman."

"300 taels."

"No... no." Someone's confidence began to weaken.

"500 taels."

Ji Qingxue wailed, the evil rich man!
As the saying goes, a snake hits seven inches, Nan Gongyan has figured out Ji Qingxue's money-loving temperament, so he dares to lure her openly, as long as there is enough bait, the fish will always take the bait.

Now it's difficult for Ji Qingxue, since she wants to perform, she has to surprise everyone with her skills, but what is she going to perform?

Is it possible to perform a vivisection?
At this moment, Ji Qingling rushes to speak to the emperor: "My majesty, the emperor does not know that Princess Rui is actually a good player at playing the piano, why don't you let her present a piece, and Qingling is willing to dance for it."

Hearing this, the emperor was a little surprised: "Oh? Qingxue can also play the piano?"

Ji Qingxue got up, and replied calmly: "Back to the emperor, Qingxue does know a thing or two about this piano."

Hearing this, Ji Qingling sneered in her heart, Ji Qingxue, you don't know a thing or two, but you don't know anything at all. I'll see how you lose face in front of everyone today!

I want you to know that even if you become Princess Rui, it's the trash that I, Ji Qingling, don't want and throw at you.

Ji Qingxue knew very well that Ji Qingling told the emperor that she could play the piano well even though she knew she couldn't play it, because she wanted to see herself embarrassed in front of everyone.

But today, her wishful thinking might be wrong again. It's hard to say anything else, but she really knows a little bit about this piano.

This is thanks to the master. When she was studying medicine, the master insisted on her learning the piano, saying that it could exercise her xinxing, so she kept practicing for almost ten years.

"Your Majesty, can you let Qingxue go down and get ready?"

The emperor nodded in agreement, and then Ji Qingxue left. She wanted to choose the violin herself.

Ji Qingxue picked out in the storeroom for a while, and chose a Chunyang Qin. She gave the Qin to the servants, and went to prepare another thing needed for the performance.

Ji Qingxue asked the palace servants to lead her to the imperial dining room, found seven glass cups, wrapped them in cloth, and hurried back.

"Ouch!"

Xu walked too hastily, Ji Qingxue didn't pay attention to the front, and accidentally bumped into someone's arms.

"Are you okay?" the man asked with concern.

Ji Qingxue raised her head angrily, but found that the person in front of her was the man in black who had been staring at her at the banquet.

"Axue, are you in pain? Why are you still so reckless?"

The man's smile reached his eyes, and his tone of voice was very familiar, as if he had known her for a long time.

Ji Qingxue stared at him blankly, obviously she didn't have any impression of him, but when he called her Axue, she felt her eyes were hot and very sore.

The man waved his hand in front of her eyes again and again, and his tone suddenly became anxious: "A Xue, why didn't you speak? Could it be that the bump just now hurt too much?"

After a long time, Ji Qingxue picked up the person in front of her from her previous memory, and she said shyly, "Huaizhu?"

With a smile on his face, the man said softly, "Axue, long time no see, how are you?"

I'm very good.

Originally Ji Qingxue wanted to answer in this way, but these three words were stuck in his throat, making Ji Qingxue unable to confide, but it was also difficult to swallow.

You Huaizhu.

The son of You Shangshu, Ji Qingxue's childhood sweetheart.

In Ji Qingxue's dilapidated life, if there was anyone she could not worry about, it would probably be this person in front of her.

When she has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and been bullied, the only one who will love her, apply medicine to her wound, secretly bring her delicious food, practice martial arts desperately and say that she will protect her in the future.

"Huaizhu, you came back from the border, are you injured?" Ji Qingxue didn't understand where the turbulent emotions in her chest came from, but she blurted out these words without thinking.

Ji Qingxue's words warmed You Huaizhu's heart, but he still couldn't help but tapped her forehead with his hand: "Silly girl."

Just like back then, Ji Qingxue huddled her body, her little face was red from the cold, she cried and said to You Huaizhu: "Huaizhu, mother is dead, from now on I will be alone."

You Huaizhu took off his shirt and put it on her body, it was the same, he tapped her forehead lightly with his hand: "Silly girl, I will still be here in the future."

Everything seems like yesterday, but things have changed.
