After coming out of Mingyue hall, MuQing tells Nangong Yanji that Qingxue has gone to the imperial garden. He asks if he needs to invite the princess back.

    Nangong Yan shook her head, not in a hurry. It''s nothing to go to the party later. Anyway, she''s not interested in that party. Let her have a good time.

    Nangong Yan walked slowly towards the imperial garden. Soon Ji Qingxue walked leisurely on the Qingshi road.

    Seeing this, Nangong Yan suddenly stopped and looked at her quietly.

    Ji Qingxue was in a good mood at the moment, and hummed a song: "heaven and earth are long, passers-by are in a hurry, the tide rises and falls. Gratitude and resentment, life and death are white, how many people can see through..."

    It seems that this woman is in a good mood!

    Nangong Yan is preparing to come forward, but Ji Qingxue suddenly stands under the white plum tree beside the road. The original pleasure immediately dissipates, and his face is still a little melancholy.

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

    ——That winter, also under the white plum tree, a beautiful woman stood under the eaves in a bright red brocade fur.

    She waved to Ji Qingxue and said ah Xue came here. My mother made you plum blossom cake.

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

    Suddenly, the beam of the house collapsed and pressed the man below. Little Ji Qingxue heard her cry and plead, "ah Xue, remember that you didn''t see anything today. It was just an accident, you know?"

    My ah Xue, you must live!

    Ji Qingxue was pale. She covered her chest with her hand and leaned weakly against the tree trunk.

    It was another Ji Qingxue''s memory. She looked at Bai Mei in her palm and whispered, "no hurry, it''s just beginning now."

    Aunt Yu, Ji Qingling, Ji Lin... She won''t let go of anyone who participated in that event.

    "Ji Qingxue, what are you doing here?"

    Nangong Yan''s pretty eyebrows are twisted into a knot. He doesn''t like to see that woman who is not afraid to show such a fragile and helpless appearance.

    Ji Qingxue returned to her senses and shouted at Nangong Yan, "can you make a noise first? People will be scared to death!"

    Right, this appearance of teeth and claws is the Ji Qingxue he knows.

    Nangong Yan retorted, "I''m not a mouse. What is it?"

    Ji Qingxue was angry for a while, so she had to scold someone with her eyes.

    "Princess, is it really good to be late for the first palace banquet?" Nangong Yan said lightly.

    Ji Qingxue snorted, picked up his skirt and left, completely ignoring Nangong Yan behind him.

    Seeing this, Nangong Yan''s eyebrows and eyes bent and shouted again: "Ji Qingxue."

    Ji Qingxue was tired of being called. He turned his head angrily and shouted, "what do you want to do again!"

    Nangong Yan pointed to his left, and his expression was very innocent: "you went backwards."

    “……”

    Ji Qingxue and Nangong Yan move forward and backward. Nangong Yan is happy to see someone jump because he thinks it''s very interesting.

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

    Nangong Yan didn''t say a word. She really found it, and then his eyes drifted somewhere intentionally or unintentionally.

    After receiving the master''s eyes, Mu Qing looked bitter and was found by the princess! It''s terrible. I guess I have to go back to Tianchen pavilion to practice again!

    If you come out of that place, you have to take off the skin if you don''t die!

    But Mu Qing began to mutter again. Is the princess really just an ordinary prime minister''s wife? How can he even detect his proud tracking technique?

    Windward Pavilion.

    When Nangong Yan and Ji Qingxue arrived late, the banquet had already begun.

    Nangong Yan found a place to sit down. Ji Qingxue just sat next to him and felt two hot eyes falling on him.

    Ji Qingling from not far away, yo, chick can wake up so soon, good!

    Another line of sight came from a man in black.

    His eyes have been wandering on Ji Qingxue, but Ji Qingxue can feel that he has no malice. On the contrary, his eyes are full of concern.

    This person... Always gives her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

    The emperor raised his glass and said in a loud voice, "this is just a family banquet. Don''t be restrained. Be free."

    After a while, a group of dancers in colorful clothes danced in the center of the hall. The woman leading the dance was covered with light gauze, and a peony was painted on the exposed navel, which looked very flirtatious.

    All the people present looked straight, and their saliva was flowing all over the floor.

    After the dance, the woman who led the dance took off the veil and saluted the Emperor: "Qingling joins the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."

    Ji Qingxue thought to herself, how can she be so familiar with the wave strength of her dance? It turned out to be Ji Qingling!

    She looked at Nangong Yan with a faint appreciation in her eyes. She had seen the salivation of the people present when Ji Qingling danced, but Nangong Yan didn''t respond at all.

    This guy is good.

    Ji Qingxue doesn''t want his ally to be a lustful guy.

    "She deserves to be the most talented woman in the capital, and the dance is also very graceful!" the emperor and the queen beside him said: "after watching so many performances, I''m afraid Ji''s daughter won the top in this year''s hundred flower banquet."

    The Queen''s sight drifted to Ji Qingxue intentionally or unintentionally. She thought, "the emperor is only half right. It''s Miss Ji who won the top this year, but maybe someone else!"

    The emperor looked along her line of sight and immediately understood the meaning of the Queen''s words. Yes, how can he forget Yaner''s princess.

    However, it seemed that I had never seen her before at this hundred flower banquet.

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

    Ji Qingxue, who is eating haisai, is startled by this. What''s the matter with me?

    She lowered her head and Nangong Yan quietly bit her ears: "why didn''t you tell me earlier that I still have to perform? What do you think I can perform now, breaking a big stone in my chest or drilling a fire circle?"

    Nangong Yan was calm: "you are free to perform. Anyway, you must take the lead."

    Ji Qingxue stared: "why?"

    "One hundred Liang."

    "I''m not an entertainer."

    "Three hundred Liang."

    "No... No." someone''s confidence began to weaken.

    "Five hundred Liang."

    Ji Qingxue wails, evil rich man!

    It''s the so-called snake hitting seven inches. Nangongyan is to touch Ji Qingxue''s love for money. Only then can he dare to seduce her openly. As long as the bait is enough, the fish will always take the bait.

    Now Ji Qingxue is in a dilemma. Since she wants to perform, she has to surprise four people, but what does she want to perform?

    Is it difficult to perform a vivisection?

    At this time, Ji Qingling rushed to the emperor and said, "tell the emperor that the emperor doesn''t know that Princess Rui actually plays a good piano. It''s better to let her present a song. Qingling is willing to dance to cheer it up."

    After hearing this, the emperor was surprised: "Oh? Can Qingxue play the piano?"

    Ji Qingxue got up and calmly replied, "back to the emperor, Qingxue really knows a little about this piano."

    Hearing this, Ji Qingling sneered in his heart. Ji Qingxue, you don''t know anything about it. I 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 rag I threw to you by Ji Qingling.

    Ji Qingxue knows that Ji Qingling knows that he can''t play the piano, but he still tells the emperor that he can play a good piano. He wants to see his embarrassment in front of the public.

    But today, I''m afraid she''s wrong again. It''s hard to say anything else. She really knows a little about the piano.

    Thanks to master, when she was studying medicine, she insisted on learning the piano, saying that it could exercise her mind. In this way, she has been practicing for almost ten years.

    "Emperor, can Qingxue go down and prepare?"

    The emperor nodded and agreed. Ji Qingxue left. She wanted to choose the piano herself.

    Ji Qingxue picked a Chunyang Qin in the warehouse for a while. She gave it to the servant and went to prepare another thing for the performance.

    Ji Qingxue asked the palace man to take him to the imperial dining room, found seven glass cups, wrapped them in cloth and rushed back.

    "Ouch!"

    Xu left in a hurry. Ji Qingxue didn''t pay attention to the front and accidentally bumped into someone else''s arms.

    "Are you all right?" the man asked with concern.

    Ji Qingxue looked up angrily, but found that the man in front of him was the man in black who had been staring at him at the party.

    "Ah Xue, are you hurt? Why are you so rash?"

    The man smiled directly to the bottom of his eyes and spoke in a familiar tone, as if he had known her for a long time.

    Ji Qingxue stared at him blankly. It was clear that he had no impression of him, but when he called himself ah Xue, he felt that his eyes were hot and very sour.

    The man shook and shook his hand in front of her, and his tone suddenly became anxious: "ah Xue, why don''t you speak? Didn''t you hit it too painful just now?"

    For a long time, Ji Qingxue took the person in front of her from her previous memory. She said astringently, "Huai Zhu?"

    The man smiled and said softly, "ah Xue, haven''t seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"

    I''m fine

    Originally, Ji Qingxue wanted to answer like this, but these three words stuck in her throat, which made Ji Qingxue unable to reveal, but it was difficult to swallow.

    You huaizhu.

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

    In Ji Qingxue''s dilapidated life, if there is anyone else who worries her, there is probably only this person in front of her.

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

    "Huai Zhu, are you hurt when you come back from the border?" Ji Qingxue didn''t understand where the surging emotion in her chest came from, but she blurted out without thinking about it.

    Ji Qingxue''s words warmed you huaizhu''s heart, but she couldn''t help knocking her forehead with her hand: "silly girl."

    Just as in those years, Ji qingxuese shrunk his body and his little face was red with cold. He cried to you huaizhu and said, "huaizhu, my mother is dead. I will be alone from now on."

    You huaizhu took off his clothes and covered her, too. He gently knocked her forehead with his hand: "silly girl, there will be me in the future."

    Everything seems like yesterday, but things have changed.
