At the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket

***

There were three people sitting on a bed of imperial concubines. "≤, Princess Changning is on the left, Zheng Gui is in the bureau, and Ji Xiaotang is on the right. Zheng Gui kept holding Ji Xiaotang's hand and said a few words to Changning. Most of the time, she was chatting with Ji Xiaotang.

Zheng Gui seemed to like Ji Xiaotang very much, and was very interested in everything about Ji Xiaotang. She asked Ji Xiaotang in detail about her birthday, and then what books did Ji Xiaotang read, what she did at home, etc.

Ji Xiaotang sensitively realized that Zheng Gui didn't happen to pass by, she came to Deyue Tower specially.

It was still early, so according to what Zheng Gui said, she was not coming back from somewhere, but going somewhere. Then, Zheng Gui had no reason to let go of what she was going to do, and lingered on Deyue Tower for so long.

As far as Zheng Gui comes to Yuelou, it should be her.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang was very concerned when talking to Zheng Gui.

Princess Changning over there saw the dense conversation between Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang, and was a little impatient. Zheng Gui's arrival was beyond her expectations. When Zheng Gui arrived, she dominated Ji Xiaotang. She originally wanted to have a good talk with Ji Xiaotang.

Princess Changning likes Ji Xiaotang not only because Ji Xiaotang can tell her a lot about Qi Younian, but Ji Xiaotang is well-informed and vivid in everything he says, and is a great person to talk to.

Talking with Ji Xiaotang is almost a pleasure, but if you talk too much, other girls she knows often become very boring and boring.

Although she really wanted to bring Ji Xiaotang to her side, Princess Changning couldn't help but save Zheng Gui's face.

Zheng Gui is Prince Jingsu's princess and her sister-in-law. Prince Jingsu and Zheng Gui treat her very well usually, and they follow her almost everything. They have also given her many good things. She has also borrowed the garden of Prince Su's mansion to hold poetry and flower parties several times.

Before the show started, a few girls saw that Changning was bored and came forward to talk to Changning.

"Why is the princess late today?" Yang Pianpian asked Changning.

"Stop talking. When I was about to come out, I suddenly encountered something and wasted some time." Changning waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say much about it.

Although Ji Xiaotang talked to Zheng Gui, he focused on his mind and naturally heard the conversation between Yang Pianpian and Changning.

Changning came late. It turned out that it was not because she was called by Queen Mother Han and talked, but because she encountered something else. If Changning had not encountered something else, she would have arrived at Deyue Tower before Zheng Gui.

"... The prince has told me about the achievements made by Xiaotang and his family in Qingyuan. These days, the prince has mentioned it more than once before me. He praised Xiaotang's sister. Even I admire Xiaotang's sister for being so tight."

After talking for a while, Zheng Gui's name for Ji Xiaotang changed from the Lord of Anle to Xiaotang's sister or sister, which seemed to be closer.

"Is Xiaotang's sister still used to living in the capital? I have long wanted to come to see Xiaotang's sister, but there are too many things to do during the year and I really can't separate myself. Fortunately, I met Xiaotang's sister here today..."

Speaking of the many things going on in the year, Zheng Gui's smile showed a bit of fatigue. He said that there are many adults in the Su Palace and the things are complicated.

"...I rely on my own internal and external management. Not to mention that I am not a capable person, but I am afraid I can't be busy. "≤ I just regret that there is no virtuous good sister around me. If I can help me, on the one hand, I can also share my worries with the prince."

Zheng Gui's topic gradually involved the inner house of Prince Su's mansion. He said in his words how Prince Jingsu was not close to women. In addition to her, a concubine, there were no biased concubines, and there were very few concubines in the inner house of Prince Su.

"I heard that my sister is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When should I ask more questions from my sister? I am a little uninformed. At a age, the prince loves these people. Whenever I want to answer with me, I can't answer them. It's a pity for me and my prince. If I have a younger sister who is talented like Xiaotang, I will be even more happy in the palace."

Zheng Gui's words became more and more explicit.

"The prince also has some experience in the calligraphy and painting of qi, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's not that my family praised him. My sister can go and inquire. Although the prince is a prince, he is quite talented in the capital... The prince once joked with me in private that if he was born in an imperial family, he could still be named on the list and become famous in the scholars..."

Zheng Zi had already come over when Zheng Gui spoke like this, and occasionally agreed with a few sentences.

Ji Xiaotang could not interrupt Zheng Gui, and it was difficult for him to get up and leave. He could only listen quietly, but did not express any opinions. At this point, she roughly understood what Zheng Gui meant.

What is this? Is it true that blessings never come in singular?

First, Prince Jing'an Qin Zhen, and then Prince Jingsu also joined in the fun. Qin Zhen came to the house in person because of his relationship with the Ji family. Prince Jingsu had no contact with the Ji family, and he was not good at coming to the house, so he beat Princess Zheng Gui to show kindness to her and lobby for her.

Zheng Gui's implication was quite obvious, which implies that Prince Su had a good impression of her. After Ji Xiaotang married into Prince Su's mansion, he was a partial concubine who could enter the jade book. Ji Xiaotang was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was a soulmate with Prince Su. Moreover, Zheng Gui claimed to be old, Ji Xiaotang was young and beautiful, and he would definitely favor King Su alone.

Zheng Gui also hinted that Ji Xiaotang could still get some of her power in the family after marrying into Prince Su's Mansion.

If it were another woman, this could be said to be a great temptation.

However, Ji Xiaotang is not another woman.

Neither King An nor King Qin Zhen nor King Su Qin Lin, she would have no blessing to live up to it.

Zheng Gui was very good at talking and seemed to have too much to say with Ji Xiaotang. It was not until the stage play began that Zheng Gui spoke less. While watching the play, Zheng Gui was still very attentive to Ji Xiaotang and introduced the stage play troupe to Ji Xiaotang from time to time.

"The opera troupes invited by Changning today are quite complete, and those who come on stage are all destined. You have just come to the capital and are probably not very familiar with them. If you like to listen to one, just tell me, I will call them to the mansion to sing the hall for us." Zheng Gui said to Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

Zheng Gui's way of Ji Xiaotang has attracted Princess Changning to look at him several times. Despite this, Changning didn't say anything, but just looked at Ji Xiaotang a few more thoughtfully.

During this period, some girls came over and talked to Zheng Gui on the excuse. Zheng Gui's attitude was just right, and he would deliberately bring Ji Xiaotang to say a few words when talking.

The girls watching the show also had their own thoughts when they looked at Ji Xiaotang.

After a few breaks of the show, Princess Changning arranged for palace maids to put on various exquisite refreshments like flowing water. Zheng Gui did not taste the refreshments. Instead, she said she had to say goodbye first.

Zheng Gui is not like these girls. In the first lunar month, she still has many things to do and cannot spend a whole day in Deyuelou.￠￡,

"My sister Xiaotang and I fell in love with each other at first sight. I really couldn't bear to part." Zheng Gui and Princess Changning said a few polite words, then turned around and talked to Ji Xiaotang, "I didn't expect to come here to see Sister Xiaotang. When I met for the first time, I didn't prepare any gifts on my own..."

As he said this, Zheng Gui took off a string of east beads hanging around his neck and handed them to Ji Xiaotang with a smile.

"This string of beads was given to me in the early years. I usually carry them with me, so I gave them a gift to Xiaotang sister. It is also a sisterly relationship between me and Xiaotang sister. If Xiaotang sister doesn't accept it, she will think the bead is too thin."

Ji Xiaotang did not reach out to pick up the beads.

When Zheng Gui entered the door, she saw this string of east beads. It was not that she was paying attention to these things, but that the string of beads was too dazzling. Even on the colorful and beautiful Zheng Gui, the string of beads was probably the most beautiful and precious.

There are about forty beads in a string, and the beads are evenly sized, each one is as big as a longan and is pure and flawless.

If you want to get together such a string of beads, you will be afraid that you will spend all the treasury, and it will be just a string of them.

Zheng Gui wants to give such a valuable thing to Ji Xiaotang, but Ji Xiaotang certainly cannot accept it. Moreover, although this bead is carried on Zheng Gui, it has other meanings.

That was given to Zheng Gui by King Su Qinlin. In addition to what Zheng Gui said before, all the hints made.

If Ji Xiaotang accepts these beads, it is equivalent to expressing his opinion and accepting something.

Of course Ji Xiaotang couldn't do this.

"...It's too expensive. I really dare not accept it." Ji Xiaotang pushed.

However, Zheng Gui would not give up so easily.

"Sister Xiaotang doesn't accept it. Do you dislike me as my sister? Even if Xiaotang's sister is above the top, I don't think I will insult Xiaotang's sister." Zheng Gui still had a smile on her face when she spoke.

But the coercive meaning in her words is also unavoidable.

The situation was a bit stalemate at that time, but no one around, including Princess Changning, stepped forward to rescue the situation. Princess Changning acted willfully, with an almost fearless personality. However, at this time, she also chose to keep herself alone.

No matter what, Changning is a woman who grew up in the deep palace and a mother like Empress Dowager Han.

Of course Ji Xiaotang knew that in this case, he could not count on others.

It is impossible to reject Zheng Gui instead of offending Zheng Gui.

Everyone guessed that Ji Xiaotang would agree. Even if he didn't agree, he would not refuse. At most, he would use a drag-on technique. They all believed that Ji Xiaotang would not dare to offend Zheng Gui or Prince Jingsu.

However, they all misread Ji Xiaotang.

"I can't bear the words of the princess. However, I really can't accept these beads, and there is no intention of disrespect to the princess. The princess also said that this was given to the princess many years ago. I wish I boldly guessed that it was because the prince was deeply in love with the princess, so he gave such a rare and expensive thing. The princess also thanked the prince, so he kept this bead with him all the time."

"A gentleman does not take away what others love. Although Xiaotang is not a gentleman, he cannot do such a thing."

"It's okay to wear this bead on the princess, it's just right, but if Xiaotang gets it, it's a usurpation. Therefore, the princess's order is not that Xiaotang refuses to follow, but that she cannot follow it."

Ji Xiaotang looked at Zheng Guifu with a blessing, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his meaning was even more firm.

Zheng Gui held the bead in his hand and looked at Ji Xiaotang for a while. His expression changed a lot before he started to laugh again.

Zheng Gui slowly put away the beads in his hand and did not put them on, but asked the people around him to put them away.

"There is such a lovely person. He obviously rejected me and refuted my face, but I couldn't be angry with her. Instead, I liked her more and admired her." Zheng Gui said this, and then grabbed Ji Xiaotang's hand again.

Zheng Gui's appearance and figure are similar to Zheng Zi, but Zheng Gui is obviously slightly blessed. Not only is her face and waist, but her hands are also fleshy, and she seems to be unable to touch the bones.

Ji Xiaotang didn't feel warm and friendly when being held by such a pair of hands. Zheng Gui's hands were a little cold, which made her unable to help but think of a less likable animal.

"Okay, okay. If I ask you to take this bead again, it will be a tough situation for me, and it is mine. You don't want this bead, but the first time I see you, you have to let your sister express it."

Zheng Gui asked someone to bring a tray. There were four kinds of gifts on it. Although they were all precious and rare items, they were incomparable to the beads just now.

After seeing it, Ji Xiaotang stopped refusing, accepted the gift, and thanked Zheng Gui.

Because he knew that Ji Xiaoyun was Ji Xiaotang's sister, Zheng Gui also gave Ji Xiaoyun four gifts, which was naturally much thinner than Ji Xiaotang's. As for Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong, they also received gifts. They were a few percent worse than Ji Xiaoyun's.

"Another day, please invite my sister to my house to listen to the opera." Zheng Gui said to Ji Xiaotang again before leaving.

Ji Xiaotang nodded naturally. As for whether to go there or not, that would be another matter.

Only when Zheng Gui left did Princess Changning talk to Ji Xiaotang.

"...I didn't expect her to come. I kept talking to you, so I couldn't stop her." Princess Changning looked around and lowered her voice and told Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, you really have courage... Don't look at her kindness, treating others warmly. But if you get ruthless..."

Princess Changning showed an incomprehensible expression on her face.

"The people around Brother Sanwang have made her clean and obedient. Some people are dissatisfied, hehe... Xiaotang, when the spring flowers bloom, I will take you to the Su Palace to enjoy the flowers. There are so many gardens in the capital, except for the Imperial Garden, the gardens of the Su Palace are the best clean and the flowers and trees grow the most luxuriant. Do you know why? The flowers in the Su Palace gardens are never short of flower fat..."

"What kind of flower fat?" Ji Xiaotang asked immediately.

Princess Changning smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ji Xiaotang knew that it must be something bad, so she stopped asking.

Princess Changning got up to change her clothes, and Ji Xiaotang also stood up and looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. She came to Deyue Tower a few times and saw that the calligraphy and paintings around her were pretty good, but she didn't have the chance to look carefully.

Ji Xiaotang was looking at the painting, and Yang Pianpian walked over.
To be continued...
