On the night she first arrived at the palace, Ji Yan slept particularly well.

I don't know what her father said to Xie Cheng'an last night. After getting up this morning, the guard next to the prince personally came to invite her to sit in the lake pavilion.

Although Ji Yan found it strange, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe the male protagonist also did these superficial things to give Ji Yan face.

Biyun was happier than Ji Yan when he heard the news.

This little girl knows a lot, and today I gave her a bun that was different from yesterday, but still beautiful and thoughtful.

Ji Yan let her do it, but when she saw the new lipstick that was put in the makeup package last night, she said out of nowhere: "I want to use this."

"Hey, when did Miss buy this lip balm? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Ji Yan pursed her lips: "It was a gift from someone else."

She opened the box of lipstick herself, and inexplicably imitated Wei Yun's appearance yesterday and applied it on her lips.

"It's so beautiful." Biyun sighed sincerely, "How does Miss wear this dark blue skirt today?"

"can."

Ji Yan didn't pick anything, got up and put on the soft-made skirt.

When we went to Huxin Pavilion, the sky was still bright and clear. Today, the sky was filled with thick clouds, which were so heavy that they were about to fall.

Fearing that it was going to rain, Ji Yan walked to the Huxin Pavilion. She was so hot that she started to sweat.

Xie Chengan was already in the pavilion. When he saw her arriving, he raised his eyes gently and looked over, and said politely: "My cousin slept peacefully in the mansion last night."

"I have been on the waterway recently. Thanks to my cousin's care, I had a peaceful sleep last night."

After saying that, the girl blessed her body in a proper manner.

Xie Chengan raised his sleeves and said, "Cousin, please sit down."

"Thank you, cousin."

Ji Yan sat opposite Xie Chengan. There was a chessboard and several plates of exquisite pastries on the table. She lowered her eyes and glanced at them, slightly puzzled.

"I heard that my cousin is good at chess, so I have nothing to do today and wanted to compete with my cousin."

Xie Chengan still had a gentle and polite tone, and the expression on his face was as refreshing as spring breeze.

"Cousin, who did you hear that?" Ji Yan was slightly stunned, "I just know how to play, and my chess skills are not that good."

"It's okay, it's just a game, there's no need to win or lose, just have fun."

After he finished speaking, he handed the chess box containing the white pieces in front of him to Ji Yan's side.

"Bai Zi goes first, cousin invites you first."

Seeing this situation, Ji Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Soon the sound of chess pieces falling on the board could be heard in the pavilion.

I don’t know how many times we fought like this, but Xie Chengan asked, “Cousin, can I use breakfast?”

Ji Yan was fascinated by the chess game and said truthfully: "I got up late today and haven't had time to have breakfast yet."

"Blame me for not thinking well." Xie Cheng'an said apologetically, "There are some cakes prepared on the table. If my cousin doesn't mind, you can put some food on your stomach first."

"it is good."

The girl's voice was soft and she responded easily. She picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. She puffed up her pink cheeks slightly and looked at the chessboard while biting.

Not long after that, he asked doubtfully: "Are my cousin giving in to me? It was clear that my cousin had a great chance of winning before, but now he seems to be careless and a bit deliberate."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at the male protagonist opposite.

Xie Cheng'an was dressed in white clothes embroidered with gold, and he had an elegant demeanor. The top of his skin had sharp edges and corners, as if carved by a knife and an axe. His eyes, which were always gentle when looking at people, were now focused on her.

"It's not that I deliberately let my cousin go, but I accidentally got distracted."

Xie Chengan saw Miss Ji's family yesterday and only had a brief glance. His only impression was that she was beautiful and had a gentle and well-behaved personality.

Looking carefully now, this cousin has a good appearance and figure, and a very lovable personality. Even unlike those women in Kyoto who can't wait to become the crown prince, she doesn't seem to have any feelings for him.

Ji Yan was a little stunned by Xie Chengan's words. What did this mean?

Looking into the girl's slightly stunned eyes, Xie Cheng'an explained: "I have been troubled by some troubles recently, so I got distracted while playing chess with my cousin."

"So that's it." Ji pursed his lips and said politely, "Cousin, if you don't mind, you can tell me."

"That's very good." Xie Cheng'an was not polite and talked about some of his worries in court. Occasionally he would stop and ask her if she was tired of listening.

Ji Yan was confused, but she could only shake her head.

After listening to the male protagonist talk for a long time, the clouds in the sky had turned into the color of black winter, the wind had also picked up, and the temperature had dropped much lower than when it came.

Jin Han, the guard next to Xie Chengan, brought a cloak.

He didn't put it on himself, but handed it to Ji Yan: "My cousin is weak and the temperature has dropped now, so it's better to put on a cloak."

Ji Yan did feel cold. Considering that her original body was weak and could not bear the cold, she did not refuse. She reached out to take it and put it on before tying it up.

Xie Chengan added: "It's probably going to rain soon. My cousin will go back today and play chess with her again if there is a chance in the future."

Ji Yan hummed, gathered her cloak and left the Huxin Pavilion.

On the way back, they were worried about the rain, so the master and the servant quickened their pace. As a result, only halfway through the journey, there was a thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain.

"It's too unlucky." Biyun stretched out his hand to protect Ji Yan from the rain, but the rain was so heavy that it had no effect at all.

Ji Yan raised her hand, held her arm, put it down, and said gently, "Let's take shelter in the corridor first and wait until the rain stops before returning to the courtyard."

Compared to being soaked in the rain, it was better to be in the corridor with the cold wind blowing. Biyun nodded in agreement and took her into the nearby corridor.

Ji Yan sat down on the side, her dark blue skirt slightly stacked on the ground, and her wide white cloak almost covered her entire body.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, the rain did not stop. Ji Yan had overestimated the body's immunity. Now her hands and feet were cold and her head was a little dizzy.

Biyun was pacing back and forth in front of the corridor and didn't notice anything strange about her. He didn't react until the young lady's head hit the pillar.

An abnormal flush appeared on the girl's cheeks. At this moment, her forehead hit the pillar, and she frowned in discomfort.

Biyun was panicked for a moment, and first tried Ji Yan's forehead. Sure enough, she had a high fever, and then she felt at a loss.

The palace was not the prefect's palace, and she was not familiar with it. She didn't know who to look for at the moment, and the young lady's illness could not delay her.

At this moment, Biyun's first thought was of the eccentric Mr. Wei.

It just so happens that this place is close to the yard where he lives...

Yes, go find Mr. Wei!

Biyun anxiously helped Ji Yan upright and said, "Miss, please stay here for now. Don't move around. I'm going to find someone to help."

Ji Yan was still a little awake. When she heard Biyun's words, she let out a soft "hmm" in her throat. Her throat was a little burning at the moment, and she felt so uncomfortable that there were wet tears hanging on her eyelashes.

Biyun felt relieved when he saw this, and without wasting time, he hurried into the rain to look for Wei Yun.
