Bai Mo said, "You don't care about these messes in the capital? Then you don't care about your two princesses and concubines?"
Xiao Yichen glanced at Bai Mo and said, "Never mind, it's more comfortable outside." He went to Dayan, firstly to relax, and secondly because the third prince of Dayan had offended him, and the account was not settled yet. He wanted to stir up trouble and make it impossible for the third prince to turn over.
Bai Mo put down the wine jar and patted his chest and said, "I'll go too. When you leave, take me with you. I'm a miracle doctor. I'll be by your side to ensure your safety. You'll be prepared for any eventuality."
Xiao Yichen thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
That night, Xiao Yichen got drunk and lay on the same bed with Bai Mo and slept soundly. They didn't return to the palace until the next day.
Ji Lingxue had the habit of getting up early. She could see Xiao Yichen's study from her yard. She asked Mo Xiang, who was cutting flower branches beside her, "Didn't the prince come back last night?"
Mo Xiang cut off a branch of flower with leaves, turned to Ji Lingxue and said: "Princess, the prince must be angry..." What if the prince is angry and divorces you
Ji Lingxue was not as worried as Mo Xiang. She moved her arms and legs, picked up the needle and practiced flying needles at the wooden sign not far away.
Xiao Yichen coughed and passed by Ji Lingxue. Ji Lingxue looked up and greeted him. Xiao Yichen pretended not to hear and went into the study and closed the door.
Ji Lingxue twitched her lips: Are you really angry? Is there a deeper meaning behind giving her the lawn
Ji Lingxue shook her head, she really didn't understand Xiao Yichen's thoughts. In Ji Lingxue's heart, if she loved someone, she would be wholehearted, but Xiao Yichen said clearly that he had his own difficulties, not only did he take Ji Yuqing as a concubine, but also let Zi Su be a concubine. She now couldn't understand his difficulties, nor could she understand his sincerity. Since the two had different views on love, they would not be happy together.
Ji Lingxue turned around and went back to her room. Mo Xiang looked at the study door, then turned around and caught up with Ji Lingxue.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the plum blossom viewing party with the Yiyun family arrived. Ji Lingxue took out the invitation and murmured, "I don't know if Xiao Yichen's promise to me is still valid."
Xiao Yichen agreed to go to Evian's house with her, but they had been in a cold war over the lawn delivery. In the past, Xiao Yichen would come back at mealtime to have dinner with her, but now, Xiao Yichen went to Zisu's place to ignore her on purpose.
Ji Yuqing went to the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes for some days, which was exactly what Zi Su was thinking.
Ji Lingxue walked around the room with the invitation, then turned and walked towards Xiao Yichen's study. The guards guarding the study door did not stop Ji Lingxue, so Ji Lingxue pushed the door open and walked in.
At that moment, Zi Su let out a scream. Ji Lingxue looked carefully and saw Zi Su with a red face. She lowered her head to adjust her clothes. Her shoulders were exposed to the air, with a purple kiss mark on her shoulders.
Ji Lingxue turned to look at Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen was also looking at him at this moment. His expression was not unhappy, but rather a little surprised.
Ji Lingxue was depressed. Was she here to disturb other people's good things? But why did she feel like there were waves in her heart, about to burst out
Ji Lingxue said: "I came at a really bad time. The prince is really something. He indulges in lust in broad daylight and doesn't even let the guards at the door stop me. You guys continue." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Yichen asked with a somewhat unfriendly tone. He was angry that Ji Lingxue came to see him so late. They had been in a cold war for several days and had been acting for several days. He felt like he had waited until white hair grew.
Ji Lingxue shook the invitation in her hand, smiled, and pushed the door open.
Zi Su knelt on the ground with her head down. Xiao Yichen waved his hand and stood up.
Zi Su stood up and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing Bai Mo's face. It turned out that this was Bai Mo pretending to be him. He let out a breath, "Oh, I'm almost suffocating. Hey, Prince, did you notice that the princess's expression was a little stiff when she looked at me? She actually cares about you in her heart but she just won't admit it."
Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes at Bai Mo and said, "How come I didn't notice it?"
Bai Mo said: "I spent a year in a brothel back then, I know women's minds best."
Xiao Yichen was even more contemptuous, "Then tell me why my princess is so hypocritical. If you answer correctly, I will take you to Dayan. If you answer wrongly, I will put you in a pig cage."
Bai Mo's mouth twitched, knowing that Xiao Yichen was serious, he rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the woman in your backyard... Which woman likes her man to have three wives and four concubines? She must feel uncomfortable in her heart even if she doesn't say it."
Xiao Yichen: "I told her that I didn't touch Ji Yuqing... Zi Su... I was attacked by someone at that time, so it's hard to say that I didn't touch her."
Bai Mo slapped his thigh and said, "That's it. It's strange that she would believe what you said. She only sees the present. Right now, you are still having an affair with me... No, with Zi Su. If a woman loves you deeply, how can she tolerate this? If she is magnanimous, it can only prove one thing."
Xiao Yichen fell silent for a while. After a moment, he looked at Bai Mo and asked, "Prove what?"
Bai Mo covered his mouth and laughed, "She doesn't love you." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, but suddenly he remembered that he was still wearing women's clothes, and he stopped.
Ji Lingxue walked out of the study room absent-mindedly and almost bumped into a maid holding a tray. The maid hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Your servant, the king, greets the princess."
Ji Lingxue waved her hand, "It's okay, where are you going?"
"It was Madam Zisu who asked me to bring some snacks to the Concubine, so that she wouldn't be too tired from copying scriptures." Ji Lingxue frowned. Why is it Zisu again? Wasn't she in the study with the prince just now? Why did she ask the maid to bring snacks
Ji Lingxue shook her head, something flashed through her mind, but she couldn't catch it for a moment.
Ji Lingxue took the snacks from the maid and said, "I will bring these snacks to my sister and visit her while I am here."
In the ancestral hall, Ji Yuqing finished writing with the brush, put it down, rubbed her sore wrist, and cursed: "The paper figurine on the sole of the shoe must have been put there by Zi Su to frame me. I heard that the prince has been staying at her place these days. She really got what she wanted."
Zi Ye accompanied Ji Yuqing and helped her grind. Listening to Ji Yuqing's complaints, she shook her head and said, "Concubine, we don't have evidence, so we can't wrongly accuse Zi Su?"
Ji Yuqing was furious. "She is a maid who wants to be the master, so she has to use some tricks. I have never wronged her."
Just then, the two heard footsteps and turned to look at the door at the same time, and saw Ji Lingxue walking in with a plate of pastries.
"Sister?!" Ji Yuqing was surprised that Ji Lingxue came back to visit her.
"I hope you are living well here, sister. These are the snacks that Zisu made for you." As she put the snacks on the table, she walked around the ancestral hall and looked at the seats arranged in the hall.
Ji Yuqing glanced at the dessert, but she didn't dare eat it. If she got sick, Zi Su would succeed.
Ji Yuqing would not let Ji Lingxue laugh at her, so she said half-truthfully, "It's OK, it's just a little cold here, but the prince is pretty good to me, there are side rooms next door, and the food is pretty good too."
Ji Lingxue nodded when she heard that. "I'm glad my sister is fine. By the way, Yiyun invited me to her house to appreciate the plum blossoms. I wonder if she has invited me to her house?"
Ji Yuqing nodded and smiled helplessly, "Sister has seen it too. I am still in solitary confinement as a punishment by the prince. I can't go anywhere."
Ji Lingxue said: "I am your sister, so I will help you. I will tell your Highness that you can go with me to appreciate the plum blossoms tomorrow."
Ji Yuqing was delighted when she heard this, "That's great, thank you, sister."
Ji Lingxue went to Xiao Yi's study again. This time the study was very clean, and there were no scenes inappropriate for children. Xiao Yichen glanced at Ji Lingxue who had returned and asked, "Princess, do you have something to ask me?"
Ji Lingxue nodded and said, "Let me remind you, Your Majesty, that you are a gentleman who values your word and you must not break your promise."
Xiao Yichen thought about it and nodded, "I understand. I will go with you tomorrow."
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "Let's invite my sister tomorrow. She is also one of the people invited by Evian. If my sister doesn't go to the party, it will be less fun."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "It's up to you." He put Ji Yuqing in solitary confinement to give her a warning. Now that his purpose had been achieved, he could release her. After all, he was still investigating the person behind Ji Yuqing.
The next day, Ji Lingxue wore a purple wide-sleeved fairy dress, while Xiao Yichen wore a robe of the same color, which looked like couple outfits.
Xiao Yichen took the initiative to hold Ji Lingxue's hand and helped her into the carriage. The moment he raised his sleeves, Xiao Yichen saw that Ji Lingxue was wearing the jade bracelet he had given her on her wrist, and his uncertain mood over the past few days also brightened up.
Xiao Yichen took Ji Lingxue away first. When Ji Yuqing left the house, she saw a carriage that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. In the past, Ji Yuqing liked to be high-profile, but now she has to choose to be low-key.
Yiyun's father is a businessman, so the location of the mansion where she lives is not bad. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see a plum blossom forest.
The most beautiful winter scene is the plum blossoms. Plum blossoms do not compete with other flowers for time or beauty. When other flowers wither and the winter is bitterly cold, plum blossoms fall quietly like graceful fairies...
Xiao Yichen took Ji Lingxue's hand and strolled in the plum forest. A maid from the mansion led the way. Occasionally, they came across flower branches, and the plum blossoms fell one after another, as if it had snowed.
At this moment, beautiful piano music rang out, ding-dong-dong, pleasant to the ears, as if walking into a fairyland, making people forget their worries.
Ji Lingxue listened for a while and asked, "But Yiyun is playing the piano?"
Yiyun is a talented woman in Beijing. It is not acceptable for her not to play the piano. Otherwise, she would not have been selected to participate in the palace selection. Thinking of this, Ji Lingxue thought of Ding Sifang's sister who was also in the palace. She shook her head and thought that these beauties' youth were wasted just guarding that red brick wall.
"Yes, Yiyun loves playing the piano. Last time at Moon Lake, she brought her piano and said she had composed a new piece of music. Unfortunately, before she could listen to it, an assassin came and frightened her into a serious illness."
Ji Lingxue said "oh" and watched a woman in white walking through the plum forest towards the opposite corridor. Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that many people came to the plum blossom viewing party today. If she brought Xiao Yichen with her, wouldn't he be just a green leaf among thousands of flowers
