In the early morning of April, the temperature is pleasant, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers penetrates through the window and penetrates into Ning Yuze's nose.

He had just gotten up, and was wearing a loose snow-forged bedclothes. The fresh air spread into his nose. He made him feel a little brighter. After getting drunk that day, he thought about many things, some of whom he remembered when he was a child, some of whom he imagined the future. After thinking about it, he finally felt bored and ridiculous. What's the use of reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future? It has nothing to do with his current situation.

Ning Yuze stood in front of the window for a while before turning back to the clothes hanger beside the bed.

A brand new blue silk robe was placed on the painted red wooden rack, with silver-white fine bamboo patterns engraved on it. This was the new clothes his mother specifically told him to wear today. It was said that it would be brighter and more energetic, which would enhance the princess cousin's favor.

What else would he like? If he was ignorant and wandered around in front of his princess cousin, he would probably make the fifth prince and the princess cousin both bored. The fifth prince loved his sister very much and just wanted to make her happy every day. How could she see him harass the princess cousin? As for the princess cousin, she already had someone she liked, and she would express her feelings by herself, which would be very troubled.

Ning Yuze's fingers gently stroked across his new clothes, and finally went to the closet to get a thin sky-blue silk gown.

Why bother to be annoying...

Ning Yuze changed his clothes and didn't need breakfast. He went straight to the door of the mansion. The servant accompanied him carefully inquired: "Young Master, I heard that the prince and the princess will come to our mansion today. Don't you stay in the mansion to serve guests? Where are you going in the early morning?"

"Get out of the city." Ning Yuze said concisely.

The accompanying servant became even more confused: "What are you doing when you leave the city?"

Ning Yuze looked at the endless blue sky and smiled and sighed, "Go out of the city to stroll." That day, he was full of resentment when he went to see Mu Huaiqian. When he left, he left without saying a word, "I will never want to see you again." After calming down these days, he felt that he was a bastard. There was no matchmaker or recruitment between him and his princess cousin, and no verbal agreement with each other. Everything was just his wishful thinking. Mu Huaiqian could not be called forced interfering or snatching love from a sword. He had no right to blame him.

Alas, let's ask him to apologize.

Ning Yuze raised his whip and rode his horse to the military camp where Mu Huaiqian was. When the sun rose, Ning Yuze was already standing in front of the camp. The military camp was a major place and the idle people were not allowed to enter. Ning Yuze reported to his home and said that he was coming to find Mu Huaiqian. Seeing that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an open temperament, he did not make any embarrassment, he informed him layer by layer.

Not long after, Ning Yuze saw a tall figure wearing armor and leather boots walking out of the military camp. His friends and classmates for ten years were naturally very familiar with Mu Huaiqian's appearance. Seeing him walking towards him with joy, Ning Yuze pursed his lips slightly and whispered: "Huaiqian, I'll apologize to you, that day..."

Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

Ning Yuze ran away without a trace early in the morning, which really made Duke Ding Guo so angry that he fell down. This brat finally had the chance to meet the princess, so he gave up and ran away. He was so angry that the servant only knew that he had left the city. As for where he went, he didn't have a detailed explanation. Duke Ding Guo wanted to send someone to find him, but he didn't know where to go.

Therefore, when Ji Zishan and the little prince Yuanbao arrived at the Duke Dingguo Mansion, the wife of Duke Dingguo apologized with a stiff smile: "Brother Ze has something important today and went out early in the morning. When he comes back, I will ask him to apologize to the prince and the princess. I hope the prince will blame him separately today."

"If you say no, I will blame you, I and the princess are here today to visit the old lady. Yuze's cousin can do whatever he wants. It's okay." Facing the warm and apologetic look of Duke Dingguo, the little prince Yuanbao put on a gentle and polite attitude of alienation. As for whether Ning Yuze went out because of anger or avoiding suspicion, there is no big difference for the little prince Yuanbao, as long as it doesn't bother the little sister.

At this time, he was outside the palace, Ji Zishan knew that she had to maintain her image, so she acted as a noble posture that the princess should have, and said with a reserved tone: "My aunt is too worried."

The little prince Yuanbao glanced at the gentle and ladylike little girl, and his eyes twitched slightly - he pinched his arm when he had a disagreement in the car just now.

Ji Zishan glared back slightly provocatively - she was just pretending, what could it be?

After seeing the ceremony, the group hugged Ji Zishan and Yuanbao's little prince to the old lady's yard. Today is not a day of rest. Any old men in Ning Mansion who have errands have already gone to the yamen to report to the office. The remaining young men in Ning Mansion are either young or have a low status and should not show their faces in front of the distinguished guests. Therefore, today's mainstream welcome team is an array composed of three ladies of Ning Mansion and the second young lady.

The special distinguished guests were in front of him, and the female relatives of Ning Mansion did not dare to interrupt casually. Only the wife of Dingguo would mention some old lady's affairs. As for Ning Er, Ning San and the second young master, they all followed the side quietly and politely.

When he arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the little prince Yuanbao sat on one side of the arhat bed, while Ji Zishan and the old lady sat on the other side, and smiled and said with a smile: "Grandma, do you think I've grown taller again?"

The old lady of Dingguo narrowed her dizzy eyes and smiled at her ears, saying, "I'm tall, our little princesses have all grown into big girls. Oh, look at her little face, she is more handsome than when the Empress Dowager was younger..."

The little prince Yuanbao was playing hot tea and smiled leisurely without saying a word. As for the female relatives sitting in the house, they smiled and praised Ji Zishan for being unparalleled. After the conversation was opened, the atmosphere in the room became lively. The wife of Dingguo still intended to call her son Shangzhu, and she treated Ji Zishan very kindly. Although Mrs. Ning was also enthusiastic and attentive, she was very subtle. There was no reason. She had no son to pluck the princess's high branch.

Mrs. Ning Er is the second wife of Mr. Ning Er. Since she passed by the mansion, she has only given birth to two daughters who are as beautiful as flowers.

The eldest daughter is about the same age as the fifth prince, but she cannot get the green eyes of the fifth prince and cannot be the position of princess. So she can only find another son from another family and ask the Duke of Dingguo's house for the blessing of the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter is married quite well, and she feels comforted. Now that the younger daughter is about to grow up, her marriage is still floating.

Mrs. Ning Er looked at the eldest sister-in-law who was particularly intimate with the princess. Her eldest daughter could not marry the fifth prince, but her eldest sister-in-law's youngest son was afraid... she could not marry the princess either.

It was not her fault that she had always lived in a large mansion. Some things could be hidden from outsiders, but they could not hide from their own family members. She told her that after a hundred years, the family glory of the Duke's mansion would be the eldest son of the eldest sister-in-law. The eldest son of the eldest sister-in-law could inherit the title in the future, and she was determined to call the youngest son Shangzhu. No matter how beautiful the world is, the world's beauty will fall on her. Mrs. Ning's second wife couldn't help but look at the fifth prince quietly-

He has red lips and white teeth, and beautiful facial features. He has a good appearance, a noble status and a gentle temper. He is really a good candidate for a son-in-law.

What a pity, the fifth prince not only has no interest in his eldest daughter, but also has no interest in his younger daughter.

Mrs. Ning Er picked up the tea bowl on the table and lowered her eyes gently. Regarding her little daughter's marriage, she actually had a bold idea. The queen passed away and the palace was vacant. I wonder if her little daughter had the life of a phoenix, and could spread her wings and go straight into the sky. If the Empress Dowager in the palace was willing to praise the girl from her family, this would be very likely. After all, the girl who was a suitable age in Ning Mansion had only her little daughter.

Ji Zishan didn't know that the three brothers and sisters were all popular in the eyes of the world at this time. She and the little prince Yuanbao accompanied the old wife of Dingguo to have lunch and then returned to the palace.

Ning Yuze asked the fifth prince and the princess to leave, and then he rode back home slowly. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by the cold face of Duke Dingguo: "Boy, don't you know what day it is today? Where did you go early in the morning?"

"Go out of the city and take a walk." Ning Yuze lowered his eyelashes slightly and said calmly.

The Duke of Dingguo twitched his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ze, don't you want to marry a princess? If the princess arrives in the mansion, you don't show it to her, how can she know your intention?"

Ning Yuze frowned slightly and said indifferently: "Mom, I have already said it, don't bother to worry anymore."

The wife of Dingguo Duke stared at Ning Yuze with an incredible look on her face, and said slightly, "What stupid things are you saying, your child? The princess hasn't made a marriage yet. You should try harder to show it, what if it can be done."

The fifth prince once said that the princess' cousin's love for Mu Huaiqian is never allowed to be polite, because he is the uncle's cousin and the love he grew up together. The fifth prince could not bear to deceive him. Since Ning Yuze agreed in person, he naturally had to keep his mouth shut. Even if he faced his own mother, he would not reveal it randomly: "Mom, I have figured it out. The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. She doesn't like me, and she has her own vision and reason. Don't mention these things in the future. Just do it like this. I'll go back to the study to review the book." After that, he bowed.

The wife of Dingguo Duke opened her mouth: "Brother Ze, you..."

Ning Yuze stopped and turned back: "Don't worry, mom, I won't get drunk in the future. I'll worry you again. As for my... marriage, let's talk about it later. I don't want to pay attention to these now."

The youngest son left with a tall figure, and the wife of Dingguo Duke held his forehead with a headache. What did this fool understand? The princess was not convinced. She didn't like you now, which does not mean she doesn't like you in the future. The Ning family is related to the royal family, and this is a chance to get the moon first. Why did this fool give up suddenly? He has no intention. What's the use of her alone?

The little prince Yuanbao took her little sister out of the palace and sent her back intact. At that time, Empress Dowager Hui'an was not awake in the afternoon, and the brother and sister did not disturb her. They each chose a bedroom and then rolled into the bed to sleep soundly.

Ji Zishan slept until Jinwuxizhuo was falling asleep. After blinking her eyes with a fascination, she rubbed her hair and sat up.

Guixiang, who was guarding the floor cover, thought that she heard the movement in the room, walked in quietly. Seeing Ji Zishan sitting on the bed with a dull look on her face, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is the princess awake?"

Ji Zishan nodded and asked, "Where is my brother Yuanbao? Is his big lazy bug still sleeping?"

Guixiang didn't dare to call the fifth prince a lazy person, so she pursed her lips and said, "Where is it? The fifth prince has woken up long ago. I'm afraid he's playing chess with His Majesty at this moment."

Ji Zishan rubbed her head and complained, "Why did I sleep for so long?"

Guixiang bent down to help Ji Zishan, and said with a gentle smile: "Maybe the princess was a little tired when she went out to the palace today. Princess, get up and wash it. The Queen Mother just washed a plate of apricots and sent someone to say that she would wake up and go to the Shoukang Palace to eat fruit."

Ji Zishan was not fully awake yet, and she was still sleepy with a confused sleep on her face, but this did not prevent her from nodding blankly: "Oh."

After washing and changing clothes, Ji Zishan accompanied Empress Dowager Hui'an for a while and walked to Ganming Palace after passing three little yellow apricots. His Majesty Ji Ziqing and the Little Prince Yuanbao were playing chess under the window. Only Liu Quanshun greeted Ji Zishan with a spring breeze. Ji Zishan only ate two apricots that Ji Zishan took, and the remaining one was handed over to Liu Quanshun: "Duce Shun, go out to eat fruits, I will watch it for you. Whether it is serving tea or replenishing water, I will pack it for you."

Liu Quanshun was so moved that he wanted to cry, but he secretly glanced at his serious master and repeatedly claimed: "The princess is joking. How can such a rough job be used to work as a princess? Instead, the slave hid aside and was lazy..."

Ji Zishan sighed deeply, some people here just eat hard but not soft-

Lifting a pink and tender fist high, Ji Zishan put on a fierce and evil look: "Who is joking with you! You can't go out--" As he said that, he shook his little fist and threatened, "I tell you, if I hit you, it will hurt myself. Do you want to be scolded by my royal brother?"

Liu Quanshun twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, and finally he could only leave with two tear in his eyes. His Majesty's particularly perverse and perverted eyes, even if the princess punched him gently, as long as she shouted that her hand hurts, His Majesty would definitely scold him indiscriminately, oh.

After sending Liu Quanshun away, Ji Zishan was about to move in towards the two people who were concentrating on playing chess, but heard His Majesty Ji Ziqing shout: "Stop, don't come here to make trouble!"

Ji Zishan stepped down and almost turned his nose crooked: "Which eye can you see that I'm going to make trouble! Brother, you are slandering, naked|naked|naked slander!"

"As the saying goes, "You are a gentleman who can't speak chess, little girl, you have many records on this, and it's hard to write. The emperor no longer believes in any of your promises. Well, don't get close to my chessboard, otherwise you will be served by a feather duster." His Majesty Ji Ziqing turned his eyes off the chessboard and looked at the angry little girl with a smile.

Ji Zishan rolled her eyes, and she didn't see the shadow of the feather duster at all, so she rushed over with courage: "My father-in-law Shun was sent away by me, no one helped you get the feather duster, hehe..." In response to His Majesty Ji Ziqing's oppressive eyes, Ji Zishan rubbed over fearlessly, sat down behind His Majesty Ji Ziqing, waved her fist and fell down, and said sweetly, "Brother, I'm here to beat your shoulders. You really wronged me just now."

"You are obviously pounding your back." His Majesty Ji Ziqing pointed it out without expression.

Ji Zishan smiled and said, "As long as the emperor promises me something, I will beat you on your shoulders immediately."

The little prince Yuanbao smiled and said, "Brother, I have nothing to do to show my diligence. There is only one purpose - what she asks you to agree with must be a bit out of order, don't agree to her."

"What are you talking about? Are you my favorite brother Yuanbao? Why not tear down the table?" Ji Zishan first glared at the little prince Yuanbao, then acted coquettishly at His Majesty Ji Ziqing in a soft voice, "Brother, you are the best, you love me the most, so promise me."

His Majesty Ji Ziqing felt a little uncomfortable, Oh, he loved the little girl the most, but the little girl liked the most was Brother Yuanbao. He treated him as a sucker. His Majesty Ji Ziqing refused with an unhappy look: "I don't agree, I have no discussion."

"...Are you sure?" Ji Zishan grabbed His Majesty Ji Ziqing's arm and raised her eyebrows.

His Majesty Ji Ziqing sneered: "I don't know for sure what I am not sure about."

"Okay!" Ji Zishan stood up suddenly and also gave out a killer move. "Then from now on, I will never care about the affairs in your harem. I want to be my Princess Xiaoyao. Since the emperor said there was no discussion, then there was no discussion. I'm leaving."

His Majesty Ji Ziqing twitched his eyebrows and said, "Stop!"

Ji Zishan snorted coldly as she walked out: "I won't stop!"

"I will agree to your request as appropriate." His Majesty Ji Ziqing took a step back.

Ji Zishan walked back with her hands on her back, smiling: "Brother, you said this a long time ago, so we don't have to tear our face and hurt our brother-sister relationship." Seeing the young sister's successful appearance, the little prince couldn't help but chuckled, "Splitting this face and style are similar to the old man who is relying on his old age."

His Majesty Ji Ziqing deeply agrees with it - it's so annoying.

Ji Zishan glared at the little prince Yuanbao who was shattering the situation again, and then he held his ear to the ears of His Majesty Ji Ziqing muttered for a while. The little prince Yuanbao couldn't hear the whispers, and he was curious as if there were cats scratching his claws. Then he opened the conversation again: "Fan, how confidential is your request to the emperor? Even the little brother can't listen?"

"Who told you to keep tearing me a corner just now!" Even if you were your favorite little brother, Ji Zishan said that she would turn against her face and refuse to recognize others.

The little prince Yuanbao smiled bitterly. He was originally playing with the little girl, but now it seems that he was shooting himself in the foot.

Besides, His Majesty Ji Ziqing, after hearing the little girl's sneaky request, his first reaction was to refuse: "No!" He went to see Mu Huaiqian every twenty days. What a joke? It was too early to get married. He wanted to meet and have a private meeting so often. When his elder brother, the parents of his father, were from Muddha? However, he had already said that he would agree as appropriate. After thinking about it, he replied in a deep voice, "Every time every three months."

Ji Zishan took a deep breath: "Brother, how many months does a year have?"

"Twelve." His Majesty Ji Ziqing replied with a slightly unhappy tone. Ji Zishan said with a slightly distorted expression: "Oh, you know that it's twelve months a year, and only see each other once every three months, and only four times a year." Ji Zishan raised a small slap and shook it in front of His Majesty Ji Ziqing's eyes. "One slap and five fingers, you only let me see Mu Huaiqian four times a year. Are you my brother?" Ancient officials rested on ten days. Ji Zishan thought that he could not take up all Mu Huaiqian's rest time. He was only thinking about seeing each other every twenty days. She originally thought that the frequency of this date was too low, but she knew that a mountain was higher than that of another mountain. Her emperor brother actually only let her see each other once every three months and was so dizzy.

After his sister's accusation, His Majesty Ji Ziqing found out that he had a little conscience. He seemed to be a little harsh when he met four times a year. So he coughed and changed his mouth, "Then it's time for every two months."

Ji Zishan raised the little finger of her right hand again, and joined the five index fingers of her left hand, and continued to accuse her with her eyes: "That's only six times. It's true that I'll work hard for you for a whole year to get such a small reward. Brother, why are you so stingy-"

At this time, the little prince Yuanbao had turned around and asked that he had not seen her son-in-law who left the palace today. The little sister became fond of lovesickness. The little prince Yuanbao calmly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to eat them. Tsk, this game of chess... was delayed by the little sister again, and the bargaining on the other side continued: "Then it's time for once a month, no more." His Majesty Ji Ziqing once again made concessions.

Ji Zishan was still dissatisfied: "That's only twelve times. Brother Huang, let me see him once every 20 days. I will be very careful. There will never be any rumors. Brother Yuanbao can guarantee me."

The little prince Yuanbao, who was eating melon seeds and watching the fun, said softly: "Why do I have to guarantee you?"

Ji Zishan grinned and said, "Because it's safest to meet in your mansion."

The little prince Yuanbao: "..." Is his palace really going to become a secret den?

"Brother, give me a clear statement. Do you agree or not? If you agree, I will take care of all the affairs of the harem for you and give you a massage and rub your shoulders. If you don't agree, I will eat, drink and have fun all day long, and I will stay in the palace all my life and never leave. I will not even be allowed to see me. Who still remembers what he looks like? Anyway, he is not young anymore, so I might as well ask others to get married. I will not delay them." Ji Zishan said something like pouring beans on the bamboo tube.

His Majesty Ji Ziqing rubbed the little girl's head and said helplessly: "Okay." It will delay the little girl's youthful years. She will do whatever she is happy. As she said that, she looked at the little prince Yuanbao who was casually eating melon seeds. "Yuanbao, restrain the servants in your mansion, don't let them talk nonsense."
To be continued...
