morning thoughts

In the coldest winter season, it was the coldest time, and it snowed heavily in Huajing for several days.

The cold wind brought snow foam to the face, and it was hard to tell whether it was the wind or the snow foam. Even the branches of plum trees in the yard were crumbling under the weight of snow.

Fu Hai led several servants through the corridor and stopped in front of Shizi's gate, brushed off the snow on his body and walked in alone with the curtain lifted.

There are four carbon basins in the room, which have not been burned out, but they have not noticed any warmth.

"My lord, it's time to get up. Today I'm going to the palace to face the saint." Fu Hai said warmly, after a while, there was no reaction from the people in the tent, Fu Hai couldn't help but read another sentence.

After a while, there was a muffled hum from inside the curtain, and only after receiving a response, Fu Hai let the servants waiting outside come in, and lit up a few more lamps and candles in the room.

Ji Yu has always been a light sleeper and sleepy, and it was easy to get used to it, but last night he was disturbed by the sound of falling snow for half the night, and he barely fell asleep until dawn.This will lift the quilt and feel cold, only to realize that the body is soaked in sweat.

It has been more than half a month since I came to Huajing, but I really couldn't bear the wind and snow in Huajing, and the boats and cars were exhausting. When I first arrived in Huajing, I started to feel hot, and it took me half a month to see better.

After tidying up, Ji Yu took the medicine handed over by the maid, and poured it in with his neck raised. The maid was clever and had prepared candied fruit in advance. Ji Yu picked a piece and contained it in his mouth, and glanced at the maid.

There has never been a girl to serve him in his yard, and he has only been sick for half a month before someone stuffed him into his room?

Ji Yu handed the medicine bowl back to the handmaid, without saying a word, and walked out with Fu Hai.

Shizi Mansion is not far from the imperial palace, but it is difficult to travel in the snow these few days.

Ji Yu sat in the carriage in a white brocade fur coat, propped his head on one hand and looked out the window. He didn't know whether it was due to exertion or the cold, his jade-like fingertips were slightly red.

Fu Hai quickly poured a cup of hot tea and stepped forward, pushed the teacup into Ji Yu's hand and said with concern: "Your Majesty is just right, I'd better close the window."

"Huajing is snowy, and this kind of scenery has never been seen in Lichuan," Ji Yu buried his head and pressed the teacup to his lips and took a sip. He hid in the mansion for half a month with this disease, until the imperial doctor came yesterday At that time, he said that his illness was all right, which meant that he had to think about the future.

"Hey, there is no need to worry too much, the prince, because of the prince, His Majesty will treat us well."

Fu Hai's words were to reassure Ji Yu, and it was true on the surface, the emperor did not treat Ji Yu at all badly.Not only that, but goodness everywhere, but this kind of goodness is like sugar hanging under the guillotine, it hangs on your head every day but you don't know when it will fall.

Ji Yu nodded, and lazily said: No matter how difficult the life is, we must live on, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he just glanced up, and Fu Hai immediately understood: "The maid was arranged by the second son, and she accompanied her from Lichuan."

Mentioning Ji Jingyang, Ji Yu's complexion darkened by two points, some memories surged up from the bottom of his heart, he closed his eyes, gently rubbed the center of his brows, his thick eyelashes trembled a few times, and let out a foul breath with his neck up .

The carriage creaked and creaked all the way under the snow, Ji Yu, who was swaying, almost fell asleep, until he stopped at the gate of the palace, Ji Yu lifted the curtain to have a look, and got off the carriage.

When meeting the saint, the emperor was discussing matters with the prince. For some reason, both of them looked anxious. When they saw Ji Yu again, the emperor endured it and changed his expression to a loving one.

But as usual, he asked a few words about his health, and then sent him to Concubine Shu to pay his respects.

In terms of seniority, Concubine Shu is Ji Yu's cousin, but King Annan has been staying in Lichuan for so many years, and he is not very close to his distant cousin.

After receiving the emperor's imperial decree years ago, King Annan remembered such a cousin. Concubine Shu had no relatives to rely on. Naturally, she had some selfish intentions to get the letter from King Annan.

Ben didn't report any hope, but he didn't expect Concubine Shu to be interested, and she insisted on pushing Ji Yu's time to go to Beijing until the next year, allowing him to spend a good year with his mother.

When Concubine Shu saw Ji Yu, she looked friendly and warm, but when she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Cousin is also cruel, and a good young man like jade is willing to part with it." Concubine Shu said sadly, picking up her handkerchief and pretending to wipe her tears.

Ji Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and followed Concubine Shu's words to comfort him: "Aunt, don't be sad, now that I'm by Aunt's side, I won't be wronged."

"Naturally," Concubine Shu nodded repeatedly, and pulled Ji Yu to sit beside her: "A few days ago, I heard that you were ill, and I knew that you didn't like being disturbed by others, so I didn't ask Ling Jun to bother you. After entering the palace, you brothers should also meet each other."

Concubine Shu sent someone to call His Highness Fifth to come over, and at the same time pushed the cakes and refreshments that had been prepared in front of Ji Yu: "I remember you like sweet things, I know you specially picked out some of your favorites when you entered the palace today Yes, how about you try what is done in the palace?"

Ji Yu lowered his head and glanced at it. It was indeed his favorite food, and he couldn't help being close to him: "The things in the palace are naturally good, not to mention that my aunt is loved by His Majesty, so it is naturally better than the other places."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu laughed, turned her head to look at the maid beside her, and said angrily: "This is a lie." Concubine Shu raised her hand and compared her waist height: "Maybe you don't remember Now, when you were so tall, you followed your father into the palace, and you didn’t pay much attention to the cakes made by the empress, and you complained that they were not as delicious as those in your Prince Annan’s mansion, but it annoyed the empress for a long time.”

Ji Yu's childhood memories are not very clear, and he seems to have some impressions when he is mentioned, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Auntie, don't laugh at me, it's just that I was ignorant when I was young."

When Ji Yu was young, he was still a proud child of heaven, and he used to have no rules in speaking and doing things, but since he was seriously ill, everyone raised him as if he was a useless person, and instead taught him to read words and demeanor, and to know the warmth and coldness of people.

Concubine Shu pulled Ji Yu to talk about things, and when Ji Yu, who was burning with calming incense in the hall, was feeling sleepy, His Royal Highness finally arrived.

Ji Yu woke up in an instant, put down his teacup and got up, and asked with a smile: "This is His Highness Fifth."

Ling Jun was only 13 years old, and he was at the age when he didn't like anyone. In the past, he used to look at people with his nostrils, but he restrained himself in front of the prince.

"You are Ji Yu?"

Ling Jun adjusted his sight evenly for a rare time, and looked at people with his eyes.

But Ji Yu took a look at him and sat down again, not paying any attention to him.

He knew very well that the more you talk to him with Ling Jun's temperament, the more arrogant he will be.

It was probably the first time that Ling Jun was ignored like this. He hurriedly stood in front of Ji Yu, glared at him angrily, and scolded, "How dare you be rude in front of me?"

Concubine Shu was delighted to see her son, and she didn't react much to this bully-like behavior, she just said symbolically: "Jun'er, don't be rude, come and meet your cousin."

No matter how unscrupulous Ling Jun was in front of his mother and concubine, he still had to restrain himself, and when he passed by Ji Yu, he still didn't forget to raise his eyebrows and give him a look.

Concubine Shu pulled Ling Jun and smiled at Ji Yu: "Jun'er is young and ignorant, you, as an elder brother, should teach him more in the future."

Concubine Shu meant something in her words, and Ji Yu just smiled and nodded in agreement.

"His Majesty has been anxious these few days, and even those of us who are serving in front of us have to cheer up. You may not know that something has happened in Chuzhou, and His Majesty is anxious about Yin Zi. "

The harem is not allowed to discuss politics, so Concubine Shu has been with the emperor for a long time and naturally she will not forget it. Now that she is willing to mention it in front of Ji Yu, it must be the emperor's instruction.The emperor didn't want to control King Annan's demand for money because of his face, but he put this idea on Ji Yu.

It's about people's livelihood. Naturally, Ji Yu would not stand idly by, but how much money he could come up with in the Shizi's mansion, he suppressed his thoughts, and smiled at Concubine Shu: "Ji Yu is an idle minister, such a big event is not a big deal." Don't dare to speak out, I believe that His Majesty's sage can save the danger by himself."

Concubine Shu frowned, but she didn't say anything more. She, a woman in the harem, could not interfere with the affairs of King Annan and the royal family. His Majesty only asked her to pass on the message. Now that her message has arrived, it can be regarded as an errand. , as for the others.....

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but look at Ling Jun again, the situation was unclear at the moment, thinking of this, her complexion improved a lot.

When Ji Yu came out of Concubine Shu's palace, his expression was cold, Fu Hai endured it and finally couldn't help asking: "Did the son make trouble with Concubine Shu?"

Ji Yu gathered his clothes and put his hands on the jade pendant around his waist. There was a cool feeling on the jade. Ji Yu lowered his head and glanced at it, and said with a sneer: "I just arrived in Huajing, and there are people who can't wait to let us go to school." Donate money, Fu Hai, tell me, how many times will this happen?"

Others don't know, they all think that Prince Annan's son is so beautiful, but if it is really so beautiful, how can he let his frail son-in-law come to Huajing as a hostage.

In these years, the emperor and King Annan had constant entanglements. King Annan was a brave man, and it was only a few years of peace in Lichuan with him. The emperor was afraid that he would not be able to control King Annan, and something would happen again. Holding a proton's mind.

Now that the emperor wants to inquire about Li Chuan's reality from Ji Yu's place, it is really not a good strategy.

After all, Fu Hai is getting old, and he can't help but feel sorry for the son: "My son..."

"Ji Shizi..."

Suddenly being stopped by someone, Ji Yu turned around and saw a young and thin boy with delicate features. Although he didn't know who it was, judging from his clothes, he should be a prince.

Ji Yu saluted according to the rules, lowered his eyes and said: "I have seen Your Highness."

Ling Chao's expression flickered, he was a little surprised, he thought he remembered himself, and then realized that what Ji Yu said was just seeing His Highness, and he didn't know who he was, his eyes dimmed, but his face remained the same, he cupped his hands and said politely: "I am Third Prince, Ling Chao."
