After Ji Dong was buried, Princess Yanyang hardly ate or drank all day long, relying on ginseng soup every day. Apart from socializing outside, Ji Xi stayed by her couch, and became more and more silent and thin. Ji Bei followed him, and became a lot more stable almost overnight.
This day, Ji Xi managed to coax Princess Yanyang to drink a cup of sedative medicine, and talked to her until she fell asleep. He sat silently for a while in the deep silence of the sedative fragrance, and stayed until his mother was asleep. In order to tuck her quilt, I finally went to Mu Huan Xuan.
From any place in the mansion to Mu Huanxuan, Ji Xi can walk proficiently with his eyes closed, even the plants and trees on the side of the road are in his heart, very familiar.
For so many years, almost every moment of his joy has been tied to that small, lively yard.
Now that I think about it, if I had known that there would be today, those days of joy and company would have been more... The only blame is that he thought that life was still very long, and he never thought that it would end so abruptly.
What a pity.
When he walked into the Huanhuanxuan, Xiao Li was instructing his subordinates to move wooden boards to find hammers and nails. Ji Xi stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while before walking over, patted her head and asked her softly, "What are you doing again?" ?”
Xiaoli looked up at him.
The little girl has lost weight in the past few days, her eyes are big, and Ji Xi's favorite sweetness in the past is missing from her face.
"I'm going to nail up the windows!" she said.
Ji Xi thought she was messing around again for some reason, smiled, and just said: "Ask them to nail it for you, and you are not allowed to hold the hammer yourself, because you hurt your hand carefully."
Xiao Li nodded obediently, and asked him again: "Is the princess better?"
"It's better. Don't worry." Ji Xi told her softly: "There are a lot of things at home recently, and I haven't taken care of you. Why do you seem to be thinner? Didn't you eat well?"
She lowered her head and didn't answer, Ji Xi asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Second Brother," she suddenly frowned and asked, "Can you marry me?"
She asked so earnestly, Ji Xi felt as if a whole handful of steel needles had been pierced in his heart, the pain made it extremely difficult for him to breathe instantly.
After struggling through this moment, his throat was filled with fishy sweetness, but his smile became more gentle: "No. I want to marry someone else, I can't marry you."
"Oh," Xiaoli was a little disappointed, but he quickly let go: "Then...forget it."
Ji Xi looked at her, the needle in her heart was completely gone, and instead she was numb with pain.
He asked her softly: "Why do you ask so suddenly? Do you want to get married?"
Xiao Li shook his head, then nodded after a moment of sadness: "I don't want to marry someone else, I want to stay at home."
Ji Xi looked down into her eyes, smiled softly, and said in a joking tone: "But I want to marry someone else, she is very beautiful and gentle, she is a lady of every family... not like you."
Xiao Li thought about the way he described, nodded without hesitation and said: "That's very good, I like such a sister-in-law!"
Ji Xi smiled and pinched her nose.
What he said was true.
Before his mother's sick bed, he had already promised to marry the young lady of the Zhang family.
Eldest brother is gone, he is the eldest son of this family, he wants to live on instead of elder brother.
There is nothing wrong with this, the girl who can be the eldest daughter-in-law must be gentle and virtuous, and he will treat her well after he marries her, and he will treat her well with her, have children, and have a happy family.
It's just to let go of his little girl, it's just... to kill the second young master of the Ji family who used to be angry.
Ji Xi recognized it.

After going through the heartache, Ji Xi smiled and let her go to play. He turned around to leave, but saw Ji Bei standing not far away, and he didn't know how long he had been listening. Beside him was Aunt Qian, who was standing next to the concubine, waiting there with a cup of soup.
Ji Xi nodded to Aunt Qian, and whispered to Ji Bei, "Come with me."
Ji Bei silently followed him out, and the two of them stopped when they were far away from Mao Huanxuan.
"Second brother..." Ji Bei called out, but couldn't continue.
"It's okay, it's good." Ji Xi knew what he was going to say, "Ji Bei, I feel very at ease like this. You don't have to feel sorry for me."
Ji Bei shook his head, "That's not what I mean... I'm also going to say goodbye to her, second brother, I've already mentioned to my father: I'm going to be stationed in the southern army."
Ji Xi was startled, and then he understood, but he couldn't believe it for a moment.
After all, he knows better than Ji Bei himself: how much Ji Bei likes Xiao Li.
Looking at his speechless elder brother, Ji Bei scratched his head and smiled wryly: "Actually, I always knew that she might be willing to marry you, but she wouldn't be willing to marry me... I like being with her." We play together, but I can't take care of her well. When we are together, we can only make things worse and leave you to deal with them... "
Ji Xi looked at his younger brother with complicated eyes, without saying a word.
"I might as well go out and venture out, but if I can achieve something, it will be an explanation to the family, and she will be relied on in the future..." After Ji Bei finished speaking, his nose felt sour, and he forced himself to laugh "haha" and thumped Ji Xi punched her, and his eye circles were red from laughing: "That girl looks like she really won't be able to marry! None of us will marry her! Hahaha!"
Ji Xi also laughed, and punched him lightly, but almost knocked Ji Bei's tears down.

Aunt Qian in Muhuanxuan was watching the little girl drink the soup, and while passing her a handkerchief, she said to her: "Your Majesty was worried that Miss would not eat well, so she ordered me to make it in the kitchen, and asked me to bring it over to watch you drink... You lost some weight, what's wrong? The house is chaotic these days, don't they take good care of you?"
"No," Xiao Xin sipped the soup absently, "it's none of other people's business..."
Aunt Qian added some more for her. Seeing her obedient and quiet appearance with downcast eyes, Aunt Qian asked softly: "Miss, tell Aunt Qian: Why do you want to marry the second young master?"
Xiao Li stopped holding the spoon to drink the soup, "I... want to stay at home," she said while stirring the soup in a low voice, "I don't want to leave home... no one likes me except at home!"
Aunt Qian touched her lovingly and asked, "Then if that's the case, wouldn't it be good to marry the Fourth Young Master?"
"Ji Nan? Is Ji Nan willing?" The person who had just been rejected once asked worriedly.
Aunt Qian sighed happily and sadly.
**
Naturally, Ji Nan didn't want to—she was a daughter, didn't Xiaoli miss her life by marrying her
But now the front and back palaces are all treacherous, Xili was beaten by Ji Nan and retreated to Xingya Mountain, and sent the prince and princess to make friends. The Empress Dowager Duanmi intended to marry the little princess to Ji Nan. But he fell in love with His Highness the Second Prince, and at this moment, the split between His Royal Highness and Ji Nan was widely talked about by people in the entire capital, and the emperor was extremely displeased, and ordered His Highness to shut himself up and give an explanation .
But His Royal Highness the Second Prince... what explanation can he give
Right now, there are only two paths - His Royal Highness the Second Prince marries Princess Xili; or Ji Nan gets married.
Ji Nan is a daughter, if she marries someone else, once the matter is exposed, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor by ransacking the family and exterminating the family! Now that Xiao Li is willing to marry, of course he is the most suitable candidate.
Ji Ting and Princess Zhennan called Xiaoli to the front, and explained the whole story to her carefully, but the little girl insisted: she just wanted to marry Ji Nan!
The marriage was thus settled.
Ji Xi married Miss Zhang's family at the beginning of the month, and Ji Nan and Xiaoli's marriage was fixed on an auspicious day at the end of the month.
As the news spread, several families were happy and others were sad. The National Teacher's Mansion has been cold even under the sun these few days.
Chen Yubai really didn't expect that she could be so cruel!
He, Chen Yubai, is simply in vain, he is more cruel and ruthless than Ji Xiaoli, who knows how much better than him!
Chen Yubai even felt that his affection for a long time was just his wishful thinking, otherwise why could she turn around and agree to marry someone else? !
She would rather marry Ji Nan - in her eyes, he is not as good as Ji Nan who disguised himself as a man! Probably in her opinion, he is not even accurate in fortune-telling, is he useless
Chen Yubai has been standing in front of this window for the past few days, recalling every detail of his life from childhood to adulthood. He wondered if he had learned so much day and night and learned so many skills. Is there anything that can make her admire him?
He couldn't find it!
The winter wind brought a biting cold to his heart, and the internal injury of Mr. Guoshi has not improved in the past few days, but the faint cough has become more severe.
**
Gu Mingzhu came here when Master Guoshi was thinking hard against the cold wind.
When she came, the purple-haired and purple-eyed little Shitou was hiding behind the stones in the garden and poking his head. Suddenly seeing his mother being led in by the old housekeeper, the little guy rushed over with a cheer.
"Mother! Mother! Where have you been?! Why did you come to pick me up now!"
The former thousand secret envoy who was as beautiful as a pearl smiled softly and hugged Aiko.
After seven years, the pearl reappeared, brighter and more moving than before. No wonder people in the world say that the current Qianmi Envoy is as beautiful as she is, and she is still not as sharp and eye-catching as the former Qianmi Envoy.
Gu Mingzhu hugged her son and whispered to him in his ear: "Mom is going to take care of your father these few days."
The little guy's purple eyes lit up immediately, "Where is Daddy?! I want to see him too!"
"Daddy is injured, see you when he recovers." Gu Mingzhu said softly, although the Qianmi clan has a special physique, and Murong Lei has almost recovered now, but... she stuck the little guy's cold face, tearing Start talking: "It's so cold, what are you doing outside?"
The little guy deliberately imitated the grown-up and sighed, pointing to the open window in the distance with his fat short fingers: "Because the inside of the room is colder than the outside!"
Gu Mingzhu smiled and nodded the little guy's nose, and handed her son to the old housekeeper. She walked into the Star Observation Building under the old housekeeper's earnest eyes.
Chen Yubai figured that she should come soon, but he was really tired of the Qianmi woman at this time. He hadn't seen her for many years, but he didn't have the slightest sense of joy. He turned his face and nodded to her, even a The politeness of words is not served.
Gu Mingzhu smiled warmly: "I haven't seen you for a long time! This time, the youngest son was rescued by the Master of the National Teacher and took care of him for a long time. Thank you very much!"
"No need. I slashed Murong Lei and evened it out." Chen Yubai's tone was as cold as the cold wind blowing in through the window.
Gu Mingzhu sighed: "You detoxify him. After all, we still owe you a favor."
Chen Yubai said lightly: "I've already given him the drug to detoxify. If you are interested, urge him to use it internally and bathe in medicine for ten days, and use your internal strength to drive away the cold poison accumulated in his body. I will send the antidote in ten days. Give him a try, there is a 90% certainty."
"I didn't expect that girl to marry, and you were willing to take the risk of taking the eldest prince to test the medicine for her." Gu Mingzhu smiled like an ordinary person.
How could Chen Yubai hear this now? If it wasn't for the prestige she gained back then, I really wanted to beat her out with one palm!
He didn't speak, his face became more and more gloomy, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't bear to tease him any more: "I met Qin Sang before I came here. She asked me to ask you: I don't know if it still counts if the Master of the National Teacher promised her?"
"I'm not the one who broke the promise." Chen Yubai said coldly.
The little liar who once promised to be with him and spend his life together is about to marry a woman disguised as a man!
Chen Yubai's heart was filled with suffocation, and he almost coughed up blood again!
Gu Mingzhu sighed: "Chen Yubai, why don't you understand—your little girl, who is she marrying Ji Nan for?"
"Could it be because of me?!" Chen Yubai swallowed his heart, and asked with a sneer.
"If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't marry sooner or later, so why would she take the initiative to marry Ji Nan at this time?" Gu Mingzhu smiled, and said in a light and brisk voice: "Master Guoshi has always been thorough, and every girl's family is not married." Why are you taking it seriously?"
The person facing the cold wind in front of the window slowly turned around, his cold eyes were full of disbelief and sudden realization.
The bystanders are naturally clear, but he is in this love | love, his little girl's disappointed look is more serious than the accusations of the world, even if he is talented and omnipotent, he is fascinated by love after all.
That's right! Why should he be serious with her? !
What about fortune telling
No matter how much she... despises him, she can only marry him in this life!
The majestic Master of the One Nation suddenly thought of the bandit.
