Pick, pierce, draw, point, flip, close!
Ji Jinrong sat on the steps, staring fixedly at the sassy girl dancing with a gun in the school grounds. The spear is extremely flexible in the woman's hands, like a dragon or a snake. Looking closely, the woman's complexion is beautiful, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
This is Ruan Lingyun, Ji Jinrong's mother. Ji Jinrong couldn't remember how his mother withered in the deep palace. At this moment, Ruan Lingyun is still bright and dazzling, like a blooming flower.
After finishing a set of marksmanship dance, Ruan Lingyun wiped off her sweat, moved her slender feet lightly, and came to the side of the stone steps. Ji Jinrong only felt a faint fragrance, but before he regained consciousness, he was already buried in Ruan Lingyun's soft embrace.
Ruan Lingyun thought that Ji Jinrong was fascinated by it, and asked with a smile: "Ah Jin is good, do you want to learn? This is what your grandfather passed on to Auntie."
Ji Jinrong is now two and a half years old. She looks pink and jade-carved and cute. Her skin is white and rosy, her eyes are black and she has indescribable agility. He put his arm around the woman's neck, buried his small head between the woman's neck, and said softly: "We must learn!"
He should learn what a man should learn!
The last world mission was completed, and the four divine beasts Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu also fully grew up. They have left clones in every world, continuously absorbing energy for the system. The current system is only a small step away from being able to completely control the mastermind. This is the last test for them to completely replace the Mastermind.
"Initial heart".
Ji Jinrong stretched out his arms and hugged Ruan Lingyun's neck, his tone was firm like a child's: "Of course I want to learn!"
Ruan Lingyun is the daughter of a tiger from the general family. She was childhood sweetheart with his father, Huang Ji Yu. Later, she entered the palace and became a member of the harem.
Ji Yu has feelings for Ruan Lingyun. For example, this martial arts training ground was specially built by Ji Yu for Ruan Lingyun. It's a pity that Ji Yu's behavior became more and more absurd later on, and his love affairs became more indulgent, and Ruan Lingyun had already been eliminated from his mind.
Thinking of this, Ji Jinrong felt a little sad again. Because his health gradually improved, Ruan Lingyun picked up the red-tasseled spear again. He no longer rejects Ji Yu's favor, but also takes the initiative to invite Ji Yu's favor. When Ji Yu is in a bad mood, he picks up a gun and gestures with Ji Yu, magnifying the friendship between the two childhood sweethearts to the extreme. This kind of Ruan Lingyun is like a fiery red rose, so gorgeous and compelling that no one can refuse.
Naturally, Ji Yu couldn't either.
There was a childhood friendship between them, but after Ruan Lingyun entered the palace, she was always unhappy, Ji Yu saw too many cold faces, and the friendship in her heart faded. Now that Ruan Lingyun has figured it out, Ji Yu is overjoyed that she dotes on Ruan Lingyun alone during this period of time, and doesn't go anywhere else.
Ji Jinrong knew that Ruan Lingyun didn't like Ji Yu, and the reason for reconciling with Ji Yu was entirely for him. For him to grow up safely. Ji Jinrong couldn't help but put his arms around Ruan Lingyun's neck, smacked Ruan Lingyun's cheek, and kissed her hard. After experiencing so many worlds, the most important thing he has learned is to show his feelings.
There are some things that others won't know if you don't tell them.
If you don't do some things now, you may never have the chance to do them again.
Ji Jinrong couldn't help but kiss Ruan Lingyun on the other cheek as well.
Ruan Lingyun was so happy to be kissed by Ji Jinrong, she hugged Ji Jinrong with one hand, and put away the spear with the other: "Ah Jin is so good, go change your clothes, I will take you to pay your respects to your imperial grandmother."
Both mother and son moved quickly, and neatly changed into another set of clothes, both of which were brocade blue, although the styles were not quite the same, they both set off their complexion as white as jade.
Ji Jinrong tried hard to fasten the buckle with her soft little hands, looked up at Ruan Lingyun, and met Ruan Lingyun's eyes as beautiful as the sky after the rain.
It's hard to imagine that anyone would not like such a woman. She has the unique charm of a woman, but also retains the purity and innocence of a girl. Even if she invites pets, she is open and easy.
Is it for him
Ruan Lingyun decided to fight for him after realizing that being low-key and evasive would not keep the mother and son away from disputes, and that only by gaining a firm foothold in the harem could he grow up safely.
Ji Jinrong was carried by Ruan Lingyun to Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother. When approaching the palace gate, Ji Jinrong asked Ruan Lingyun to put herself down in a low voice: "Mother, if you hug me like this, the imperial grandmother will not like me."
When Ruan Lingyun heard Ji Jinrong's childish voice, she rubbed his head: "Smart, you have to be hugged on the road, so you only come here to pretend." These words sounded a little resentful, but in fact they were full of joy.
As a mother, who doesn't want their children to be smarter.
Ruan Lingyun took Ji Jinrong's hand and walked into Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is not too old, she is only in her forties, and she is only a few years away from fifty. There are only a few white hairs on her sideburns, and the rest are all black.
Originally, the Empress Dowager's complexion was not very good, but when she saw Ruan Lingyun and Ji Jinrong coming, she smiled a little. Ruan Lingyun is not from the Empress Dowager's natal family, but Ruan Lingyun's father grew up with her, and the friendship is incomparable to others. Seeing Ji Jinrong's eyes, which are imprinted with Ruan Lingyun's, the Empress Dowager loves it beyond words.
The queen mother said: "Come on, Ah Jin, come to the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother will give you some delicious food. The imperial dining room has just made it, and it is still warm."
The Empress Dowager spoke with a local accent, Ruan Lingyun's eyes turned red when she heard this, she lowered her head and did not speak.
Seeing this, the queen mother knew that Ruan Lingyun was missing her hometown. She beckoned and asked Ruan Lingyun to sit beside her, and grabbed Ruan Lingyun's palm with her well-maintained hands: "What? Miss you, mother?"
Ruan Lingyun said: "I made the empress laugh." The corners of her eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears. Instead, she smiled a little, "I don't know what's going on, but you can't control yourself when you listen to the empress. Its eyes are red. I don’t want to cry to you, queen mother. You know I’m most annoyed by crying.”
The queen mother patted the back of Ruan Lingyun's hand: "I know. You have been in the palace for several years, and you haven't gone home to visit your relatives. This time our Ajin recovered from illness, it must be Xuanqing who heard your prayers. Are you ready? In a few days, I will go home to visit my relatives, and bring Ajin to fulfill my wish to Daoist Xuanqing."
Ruan Lingyun's eyes flashed obvious joy, but she suppressed her joy and said, "I have to discuss it with His Majesty."
The queen mother likes Ruan Lingyun's knowledge of advance and retreat, and general knowledge. She said: "He will come later, I will tell him for you." The queen mother knows her son best, her son has been thinking about Ruan Lingyun for a long time, although it will not lead to the emptiness of the harem because of Ruan Lingyun, but now it is good It is easy to communicate with Ruan Lingyun, and he must be reluctant to let him go.
It's nothing to be alone for a few days, but it's been more than a month, and it would be too much to continue. Everything overflows when it is full, and it is not good for her son or Ruan Lingyun.
And let Ruan Lingyun go home to visit her relatives, so that her son will be exposed to rain and dew for a few days.
The two agreed that when Emperor Ji Yu came, the Empress Dowager would mention this matter to him.
Ji Yu was only in his thirties, and his health was not very good. He had been taking pills all the time, and his lips were faintly blue. Hearing the Empress Dowager talk about this matter, and seeing Ruan Lingyun's eyes filled with anticipation, Ji Yu couldn't help agreeing softly.
Ji Jinrong looked at Ji Yu, his dark eyes were full of curiosity.
This is his royal father, he acted very absurdly, he is a real fool. The kings refused to accept him, and the courtiers also refused to accept him. The court and the public were in chaos, and they welcomed the queen and concubines for the support of the courtiers. It was only later that Ji Jinrong found out that in order to "spread even the rain and dew", his father had taken a lot of potions that strengthened his yang and boosted his mood. As time passed, he got tired of having sex with women and favored some pretty and clever little eunuchs.
At that time, he and Wei Tingjun also ran into the "live erotic palace".
Ji Jinrong was looking at Ji Yu, and Ji Yu was also looking at Ji Jinrong.
Since Ji Jinrong was born, he had been sick all the time, and Ji Yu was unhappy and almost never cared about it.
If it wasn't for Ji Jinrong's illness, he and Ruan Lingyun wouldn't have had a rift.
The root of Ji Jinrong's illness was caused by Ruan Lingyun's pregnancy, and it was the result of intrigue in the harem. Ruan Lingyun hated Ji Yu as the culprit, and never gave Ji Yu any good looks since then.
Although Ji Yu was sick and weak, he grew up as a prince, how could he please others
So Ji Yu coaxed him nicely at first, but after a long time, his thoughts faded away.
There are so many young and smart beauties waiting for him to be pampered, why should he try to curry favor with Ruan Lingyun
Recently, Ji Jinrong's health has recovered, Ruan Lingyun finally thought about it, and took the initiative to repair with him. Ji Yuyuan thought about ignoring her again, so that she would not dare to show him a cold face, but when he saw someone, he wanted to get tired of being together every day.
Maybe it's because of loving Wu Jiwu, seeing Ji Jinrong looking straight at him without any fear in his eyes, he likes this son whom he has never met a few times more and more. Ji Yu said, "Ah Jin should also be enlightened, right?"
"Yes," Ji Jinrong looked at Ji Yu clearly, "I'm already two and a half years old!"
The queen mother was amused by Ji Jinrong's serious appearance, and joked: "Hey, our Ajin is already this old, it's really time to get enlightened."
In fact, Ji Jinrong is still young, and in addition to being seriously ill since childhood, it is not time for enlightenment. Just being stared at by Ji Jinrong's expectant eyes, Ji Yu, who was so eloquent, couldn't take back his words, so he could only say: "Then A Jin will go with your aunt to visit relatives first, and when A Jin comes back, I will go to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet Mr. Go to school with my brothers."
Naturally, Ji Jinrong thanked obediently.
After paying her respects, Ruan Lingyun asked people to start preparations. As one of the four concubines, it was not easy for her to go home to visit her relatives. If the queen mother and Ji Yu hadn't loved her so much, she might not be able to leave this deep palace in her life. Thinking of this, Ruan Lingyun sighed, hugged Ji Jinrong and watched the servants and maids busy back and forth.
Early the next morning, Ruan Lingyun got the order to leave the palace and set off on her way back. Ji Yu loved her so much now that he sent tiger and leopard riders to clear the way, and ordered nearly a hundred maids to serve her. The grandeur and grandeur of the battle is comparable to that of Ji Yu traveling in person.
This group of people set off in a mighty way, heading north, towards the Shuobei Thirteen Prefectures in the north. At the beginning, we traveled by water, and the boat wobbled all the way. It took a day and a night for the boat to stop. Ji Jinrong was sleeping in Ruan Lingyun's arms, but when he opened his eyes, he felt the morning light filled his eyes, which made him feel warm and very comfortable. It is autumn, the trees on both sides of the bank are withered and yellow, and the dead leaves are floating down leisurely, swaying on the water surface a few times, and drifting away with the swirling water.
Ruan Lingyun also woke up, took Ji Jinrong to change clothes and wash up, and then led him out of the cabin.
Ji Jinrong held Ruan Lingyun's soft and strong palm back, and looked up, only to see wine flags lined up on the bank, very prosperous, and it turned out to be the famous "wine town" Suzhou. It is said that even the water in the ditches in Suzhou exudes a strong aroma of alcohol, so the beggars all over the street are drunk, and it is hard to tell whether they are down-and-out people or out-of-world people.
This was the first time that Ji Jinrong had left the imperial palace. Seeing the prosperity of Suzhou, Ji Jinrong was not very happy. More than ten years later, this wine town would be engulfed by raging fire and turned into a blackened ruin.
Changes in the world are so unpredictable.
Ji Jinrong looked at Ruan Lingyun. Ruan Lingyun's face also showed a bit of sadness. Looking at the "wine country" where people come and go, she sighed and said, "A Jin, this is where I met your father, and your Uncle Wei and Uncle Qin." Stopping in Suzhou, he likes to wear men's clothes and run around, and he is very familiar with the surroundings. After getting acquainted with Ji Yu and the three of them, he took Ji Yu and the three of them to play happily.
The four of them are very young, and they don't have that much insight. When they met, they were very real except for their names. Ji Yu was not in good health, and often could only stand aside and watch the three of them play. Ruan Lingyun felt a little sympathetic to Ji Yu, and unconsciously took care of Ji Yu, and even "heroes saved the beauty" rescued Ji Yu twice.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yu would have taken his heart at that time, and after ascending the throne, he actually made her the daughter of a low-ranking general as one of the four concubines, which attracted countless criticisms and still refused to change. Except for her, everyone in the harem is the daughter of an important official in the court.
If we say that they are all birds in cages, then the daughters of these important ministers are all canaries that have been fed in cages since childhood, but she is a sparrow that plays around. Locked in the cage, the canaries adapted quickly, but she was always at odds with this deep palace.
Thinking about the past, Ruan Lingyun was at a loss. If she hadn't been unwilling to face the reality, Ji Jinrong wouldn't have been lingering in bed for so long and suffered so much since childhood. Now that Ji Jinrong is recovering from illness, she must deal with it well. Ji Yu gives her honor and favor, and she will receive it. It doesn't mean that if she is not greedy or fights, others will let her go - if that is the case, then she will fight!
Ruan Lingyun hugged Ji Jinrong and said, "This is a very, very good place." She took the curtain and got off the boat with the help of her servant.
Before they had gone far, a man in armor approached them, stopped for a moment not far from them, clasped his fists in his hands, and said hello to Ruan Lingyun loudly: "I've seen your mother."
For some reason, Ji Jinrong always felt that the man's voice was a bit weird. He struggled to get off the ground, looked up, and remembered who this person was. This person is Qin He, who is Wei Tingjun's father's military adviser. If he and Wei Tingjun's father split into two groups, then Qin He can also command an army, and his ability to make decisions and plan is no less than that of Wei Tingjun's father.
This is the "Uncle Qin" that Ruan Lingyun just mentioned, right
Ji Jinrong felt that Ruan Lingyun's hand, which was holding her, tightened slightly.
Ruan Lingyun was silent for a long time before saying: "Third Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time." If the Queen Mother hadn't allowed her to go home to visit her relatives, she might never see her again in this lifetime. If she knew this would happen earlier, would she still be willing to get acquainted with Ji Yu and the other three? Ruan Lingyun didn't know either, she introduced to Qin He, "This is Ah Jin, already two and a half years old. Third brother, are you married too? Do you have children? If you have a daughter, maybe we can be in-laws."
Ruan Lingyun's voice was neither fast nor slow, but it was a little different from usual. It was obviously a joyful conversation after the reunion, but she didn't have the slightest hint of joy when she said it, but with deep sadness.
After Ruan Lingyun finished speaking, Qin He said slowly, "No."
Ruan Lingyun was startled.
Ji Jinrong was also startled, and looked at Qin He. Qin He is still young, in his twenties, but he is past the age to marry a wife. In the blink of an eye, Ji Jinrong understood why Qin He and Ruan Lingyun seemed so weird to others.
So this is ah.
In the past two years, Ruan Lingyun would be disheartened. Firstly, it was because of being plotted against him and made him linger in bed, and secondly, because she didn't love Ji Yu that much. She loved someone else. It's just that Ruan Lingyun had already figured it out at this time, seeing Qin He was naturally only sad, not happy.
Just as Ji Jinrong was thinking, he heard Qin He say, "Mother is not in good health. I swore an oath in front of Master Xuanqing that I would not marry a wife within ten years." Instead, he looked at Ji Jinrong with a smile, "Your Highness is very cute. The elder brother's wife and family are on the shore, and I will be responsible for sending them back to Beijing. Madam, do you want to meet them?"
Ji Jinrong's heart skipped a beat.
The eldest brother Qin He was talking about was Wei Tingjun's father. After they came back, Wei Tingjun has been in Shuobei. Although they can be contacted, they have never met each other. He is only two years old, and there are always people around him, so it is inconvenient to talk to Wei Tingjun. Did Wei Tingjun return to Beijing
Wei Tingjun had been guarding Shuobei with his father since he was young, and Ji Jinrong couldn't calculate the time when Wei Tingjun would return to Beijing. After all, before he started planning for the throne, he was almost deaf and blind, and had no sense of everything outside the palace.
What's more, the previous memory is also inaccurate.
Ji Jinrong stopped thinking about it, and let Ruan Lingyun take him to meet the Wei family members. After walking a few steps, Ji Jinrong heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance. He looked up and saw a ten-year-old boy riding a maroon horse approaching from a distance. The young man was only eleven or twelve years old, so the horse he was riding was not tall, and the people around him were not disturbed. They all looked at the dashing young man on the horse, and felt that this young man was handsome and handsome.
After a while, the young man appeared in front of them. The young man got off his horse and said hello to Ruan Lingyun: "Madam, I'm Ting Jun. Mother heard that you arrived in the inn, so I must come and pick you up."
Ji Jinrong looked at Wei Tingjun steadfastly. He was undoubtedly familiar with that face, but it looked a little strange at the moment. This is Wei Tingjun when he was a teenager, even younger than when they first met. Wei Tingjun was ten years older than him, but he was raised by Shuobei to be upright and straightforward. If he likes it, he likes it, and if he hates it, he's tired of it.
Such a young man, but in the next ten years or so, his heart and hands were gradually stained——
In the beginning, Wei Tingjun just wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect.
Ji Jinrong broke away from Ruan Lingyun's hand, and stepped forward to grab Wei Tingjun's calloused palm.
Ruan Lingyun was a little surprised when she saw this. After Ji Jinrong recovered from her illness, she was very close to her, but she was always distant and polite to others, not like a child, but like a little adult. It's never happened before that I took the initiative to hold someone else's hand like this.
Wei Tingjun directly bent down and hugged Ji Jinrong into his arms. The horse next to him sensed the appearance of the stranger, and snorted very late.
Seeing that Ji Jinrong and Wei Tingjun "felt like old friends at first sight", Qin He finally had a happy smile on his face: "It seems that your highness has followed your mother." That lively and lovely expression was exactly the same as Ruan Lingyun back then.
Ruan Lingyun was also a little happy.
Everything in the past has passed, and now she puts all her hopes on her son. She hopes that her son can grow up safely and live happily, and she has nothing else to think about.
Ruan Lingyun smiled at Qin He through the curtain, the page in her heart that couldn't be opened was finally revealed.
Wei Tingjun held the horse with one hand and Ji Jinrong with the other. Although he was a little dissatisfied with God always making Ji Jinrong half a round younger than him, being able to hug Ji Jinrong again truly filled his heart.
Taking advantage of Ruan Lingyun's inattention, Wei Tingjun quietly kissed Ji Jinrong's soft and delicate cheek.
Ji Jinrong glared at Wei Tingjun.
He was so stupid that he felt sorry for this guy, and offered to kiss this guy at his door! His mother is still behind, does this guy dare to be bolder!
Wei Tingjun was very calm, and smiled into Ji Jinrong's dark eyes: "You are not afraid of being discovered, you are only two years old."
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Of course he is not afraid! I'm afraid that others will treat this guy as a pervert!
Naturally, Ruan Lingyun and Qin He didn't think wrongly. Seeing that Wei Tingjun and Ji Jinrong got along so well, they only felt relieved.
When the group came outside the hostel, Mother Wei was already there, inviting Ruan Lingyun to sit down and have tea. Wei Tingjun and Ji Jinrong were full soon.
Seeing Ji Jinrong staring outside intently, Ruan Lingyun asked several tiger and leopard guards to follow, and asked Ji Jinrong and Wei Tingjun to go out to play together. As soon as they went out, Wei Tingjun hugged Ji Jinrong into his arms again, this position was convenient for them to talk in a low voice.
Wei Tingjun said: "I came back earlier, and happened to be on the flood. I asked my father and several uncles to guard carefully, and did not let them remove the embankment. Because of this, my father offended the warlord. We sent it back because we were afraid that it would harm us." The so-called harm is not to the family, but the other party has not been pushed to the extreme.
Ji Jinrong remembered this. His father, Emperor Ji Yu, was unpopular, and the people under him were all trying to get benefits, and no one was doing things with heart. In the 15th year of Fenghe, natural disasters and man-made disasters came together. Floods are natural disasters, and it is man-made disasters to tear open the embankment and destroy fertile land. The purpose is to annex land at a low price!
The floods of that year were more severe than expected. The destroyed fertile fields and the casualties were innumerable!
The first thing Wei Tingjun did after he came back was to prevent Fenghe's 15-year tragedy from happening.
Ji Jinrong remembered very clearly that the instigator behind those guys was the Third Prince Ji Mingyuan!
This is equivalent to meeting Ji Mingyuan in advance.
Ji Jinrong's expression froze slightly: "Be careful in everything."
Wei Tingjun said: "I'm so young, they won't notice me."
Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of horseshoes. Ji Jinrong and the two looked up, but they saw a group of people rushing towards them amidst the billowing dust, disturbing the vendors on both sides and throwing their goods on the ground.
Ji Jinrong's eyes were fixed.
And Wei Tingjun's eyes were full of coldness—
