Oi! I am an article!
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was the 6th sense of a woman who was too sharp. Zhao Xueyan seemed to feel the hot eyes of Ye Wushuang, when their eyes met, Ye Wushuang calmly lowered the black gauze on her bamboo hat.
Faintly, Zhao Xueyan looked at the pair of familiar eyes that made her tremble, Zhao Xueyan did not dare to believe it, herself just squeezing her silk handkerchief tightly behind her long sleeves.
Oi! I am an article!
After the banquet was over, Ji Xingfeng was summoned by Emperor Qi to go to the Panlong Pavilion.
The man sitting in a high position was wearing a golden dragon robe, truly looking extremely noble. With just a single glance, he could control the life and death of people all over the world.
In the depths of his black pupils, a fleeting jealousy involuntarily appeared. In the past, if not for his own carelessness, perhaps now the person sitting in that position was himself.
No matter how unwilling her heart was, how jealous she was, Ji Xingfeng hid all her negative emotions quite perfectly.
Oi! I am an article!
In a place 3 meters away from the man, Ji Xingfeng saluted respectfully. There was an unyielding determination in those haughty black eyes.
Ji Xingyun glanced at the haughty man half-kneeling before her, the events of the battle for the throne six years ago still remembered her very clearly. I don't know since when, Ji Xingfeng was already not as temperamental and impulsive as she used to be. Right now, a calm aura surrounded his body, even Ji Xingyun herself could not guess.
Over the years, although his vigilance towards Ji Xingfeng had not diminished at all, but he had also never troubled Ji Xingfeng for still thinking about the brotherly relationship between them.
“Guard, prepare a seat for Prince Ping.”
After sitting down, Emperor Qi flatly chatted and asked Ji Xingfeng about whether or not she was used to living in the Palace.
Ji Xingfeng showed an attitude like a courtier, she then replied respectfully.
Emperor Qi then said: “Prince Ping, if counted from the Emperor's blessing ceremony half a year ago, it seems that we have not seen each other for more than half a year, right?”
“Answer to the Emperor, it has been 6 months 9 days since the blessing ceremony of the Emperor.”
“Yes, indeed your memory is better. It must be hard for you to live a miserable life in Pingzhou.”
“Although the Pingzhou area is poor, but the scenery is very beautiful, the customs of the people are also very simple and pure, is an excellent place to rest.” Ji Xingfeng said in a calm voice, not at all blowing up the anger that had accumulated in that place for so many years.
Ji Xingyun raised her black eyes then smiled with the majesty of an Emperor: “Thus, you don't hate me for having moved you to such a place?”
“Emperor is also well-intentioned, how could I possibly have hatred for you?” Ji Xingfeng lowered her head and answered word for word. The sincerity and honesty in his words made Emperor Qi slightly embarrassed.
However, the clever Ji Xingyun also knew very clearly that what this little sister was saying was not necessarily honest. But no matter what it was honest or not, all of this was already determined, Ji Xingfeng as a retainer forever could only obey her orders.
Thus, these two brothers who had not seen each other for a long time were chatting pleasantries for a while.
Most of the Emperor Qi asked and Prince Ping replied. Sometimes, both parties do not know if they are treating each other sincerely or have the intention to test, any kind of precaution is done wisely, he said, even a very simple question must be pulled over for so long that in the end it can only be said straightforwardly. This is the grief and helplessness of the royal family.
Finally, Ji Xingyun asked one sentence which was the core of all that nonsense: “Prince Ping, today I accidentally listened to a private discussion from some Palace officials, he said, they said there was a very beautiful woman by your side who accompanied you into the Palace. That woman could be said to be a world beauty, it could even be compared to the beauty of Glorious Concubine Zhao. What surprised me even more was that the woman had the same face as the former Queen Qin. Tell me, is... is this true?”
