Heaven

When Jing Mingquan called Ji Kongqing like this, he never thought that he would have a day when he would regret it in the future. He just wanted to find someone for his fifth brother who he could hold hands with for a lifetime.

————————————————————————————————————

Ji Kongqing's depressed mood lasted for several days.

He seemed a little dazed all day long, and he didn't joke around with his brothers.The coach asked him not to add weight to the top for a while, worrying that he had overdone his practice.

Only he himself knows that this is entirely due to a difficult knot in his heart.Although he clearly knows that he shouldn't be obsessed with the past, but he just can't get out of it.We can only hope that the power of time will smooth everything out.

On this day, just after Ji Kongqing had breakfast, a guard suddenly sent a message that His Majesty has an order to invite Mr. Ji to the palace to play chess.

Ji Kongqing confusedly guessed His Majesty's intentions, followed the visitor to hastily mounted his horse, and headed straight for Danyang.

Chu Palace, Cuiwei Pavilion——

Jing Lan had obviously been waiting for a long time.

The chess pieces on the chessboard have long been neatly arranged by the court ladies, and incense is lit in a tiger-headed copper censer next to it.

Jing Yan held a book in his hand, and when he saw Ji Kongqing coming in, he quickly carried the book on his back and put it on the low couch behind him.In an instant, Ji Kongqing caught the four big characters "Introduction to Go" written on the cover of the book.

It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is still learning and selling now?

I was still worried about how to play, whether to lose or win.Now it is estimated that even if he wins, he will not provoke Longyan to be furious.Do you want to use your brain so that he can play for a while, and don't discourage the enthusiasm of beginners too much?Ji Kongqing pondered in her heart.

Jing Yan smiled kindly, pulled Ji Kongqing to sit at the table, and with a wave of his hand, all the maids and guards around immediately retreated.

I would like to add here that there have never been eunuchs in the Chu Palace.It is said that because Jing Yan also experienced this extremely "inhuman" pain back then, he sympathized with the eunuch very much.

"Kongqing, you've been in Tianshu camp for a few days, but you're still getting used to it?" Jing Yan pushed the chess pot containing the white pieces in front of Ji Kongqing, holding the black and going first.

"Thank you for your concern, I am fine in Beiying." Ji Kongqing replied respectfully.

Jing Yan raised his hand and dropped a chess piece on Tianyuan.From now on, no matter where Ji Kongqing is, he will place the chess pieces on a symmetrical point on the chessboard.

Symmetry chess!

It is not easy for His Majesty the Emperor, who has never played Go before, to come up with such an idea!Although it is not impossible to crack it, after Ji Kongqing made the decision, he pretended to ponder every step and walked slowly with the emperor.

Jing Lan kept asking about Ji Kongqing's daily life.

From the three meals a day, the dishes are still satisfactory, to the toilets in the military camps, but they are still used to it.While asking, he also "remembered bitterness and thought sweet", and sighed, "You have meat to eat now, but I didn't have meat to eat back then, so I still have meat to eat with his fifth child" and so on.

Faced with His Majesty's eloquent questions, Ji Kongqing was a little uncertain about what he meant.

Could it be that he wants me to make an evaluation of Mingrui's Tianshu Camp?

……

"So you and Rui'er haven't seen each other since the banquet?" Jing Hao was shocked.

"Yes. The Commander is busy..." Ji Kongqing actually regretted that the two sides could not make time to meet again after that day.

"You called him commander?!" His Majesty the Emperor widened his eyes in surprise.

"As a member of the Tianshu Camp, I naturally call the Fifth Prince the Commander." Ji Kongqing blinked.

"Fifth prince...Fifth prince...!" Jing Yan looked angry and indisputable, "Woooooooooooooooooo...it's all my fault. The news came a few days ago that the north is not peaceful. My old arm The old leg couldn't run anymore, so I had to ask Rui'er to run for me. I didn't expect that this would delay his lifelong event... woo woo woo..."

"..." Ji Kongqing was puzzled, what is a lifelong event?

"But it doesn't matter, as the so-called Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, when Rui'er comes back, it's just right..." His Majesty the Emperor suddenly looked excited, and he laughed strangely, "Ahahahaha..."

"#^@*&$%..." His Majesty the Emperor was completely immersed in his own world, and began to bow his head and talk to himself.

"..." Can I pretend I didn't hear it?Ji Kongqing lowered his head to study the chess piece in his hand, um, it was made of white jade.

"So father can play chess?" A young man in brocade clothes walked into Cuiwei Pavilion.

"Hey, it's Xiaoliu who's back?" Jing Hao raised his head.

"Is it okay if I don't come back again? Fifth brother's people have been summoned to the palace by your order! Mr. Chen doesn't have the guts to drive away your big inner guards."

The visitor nodded to Ji Kongqing, "I'm Jing Mingquan, Brother Ji and Fifth Brother can just call me Aquan."

"I've seen the sixth prince." Ji Kongqing smiled and saluted.

This is the sixth prince, Jing Mingquan, right?It is said that he was extremely unfavored in front of Emperor Chu. When he was born, Emperor Chu threw him and his mother into the cold palace without even looking at him, and left him to fend for himself.After he grew up, he was never allowed to attend various formal activities, and was called the invisible prince by the Chu people.

Doesn't that seem to be the case today?

"Hehe, I'm concerned about Kong Qing. I'm afraid he'll be bored by himself." The emperor hurriedly explained, looking around.

"Don't look, Fifth Brother hasn't arrived yet!"

Hey, isn't Mingrui finished yet?Hearing his words, Ji Kongqing snapped her fingers and calculated, it has been twelve days, right?

"Fifth Brother is not here, so you don't need to listen to what he said, right? I think Father has been having a lot of leisure recently. I heard that Ye Jiuwen is coming soon..."

"Ah! I remembered. I haven't taken the medicine for today. I'm going back to Xihe Palace first. Kongqing, let Xiaoliu play chess with you for me." Jing Yan waved his hand and quickly disappeared into Jihe Palace. Out of sight.

Jing Mingquan smiled and looked Ji Kongqing up and down.

"?"

"Hello fifth sister-in-law!" Jing Mingquan suddenly bowed his hands respectfully.

Huh? ? !

Ji Kongqing's eyes widened, embarrassing: "I'm not..."

"I know, although it is not now, it will always be in the future. You just think I called it in advance." Jing Mingquan lowered his head and looked at the chessboard. Father Huang's chess game is quite interesting.

"..." Ji Kongqing also began to appreciate the symmetry of this chess game.

After a while, Jing Mingquan suddenly realized: "It's okay, I called first, and you can make up for the red envelope for meeting later."

It's not about red envelopes at all, okay?My relationship with Mingrui is not what you think at all!

Ji Kongqing is a little messy, I don't know if it's useful to continue pretending not to hear?

"Why does the sixth prince devote himself to pairing me with the commander?" Ji Kongqing expressed his doubts in his heart.In retrospect, His Majesty the Emperor was also working hard for this just now?Seems like Mingrui looking for a man?Is it fashionable to find a man now?

Ji Kongqing never considered the possibility of herself and Jing Mingrui.He did everything possible to leave the motherland that left him covered with scars, but he hadn't thought about starting a relationship again.

And he has always believed that the deep relationship between himself and Mingrui is beyond the reach of all the relationships in the world.It would be a kind of defilement to describe this feeling as false love!

Jing Mingquan said seriously: "My fifth elder brother has never been unable to do anything since he was a child. But he is very emotionally slow. He has never thought of getting closer to anyone, no matter male or female." Jing Mingquan even had some doubts about him. My elder brother doesn't even have physical needs!

"So we have always been worried that he will live alone all his life." Jing Mingquan showed a trace of worry on his face.

"..." Ji Kongqing was speechless, it turned out that it was better to have a broken sleeve than to be a monk!

"Until you showed up, the first time he saw you, he took you back to Tianshu Camp." This was definitely love at first sight, Jing Mingquan shouted in his heart.

Just because you haven't seen it before doesn't mean you never knew it?Ji Kongqing felt that she might have known Mingrui earlier than the sixth prince.

"As soon as you arrive at Tianshu Camp, he will send an order to stop anyone from mentioning your name, saying that there is only Ji Kongqing in the Northern Camp, and there is no Mr. Kongqing! You also know that what kind of son's name is yours? Not very glorious." Jing Mingquan continued to explain.

Ji Kongqing's eyes widened, he didn't expect Mingrui to be so careful, he couldn't help being moved.

Sometimes he has to admit that this confidant who is five years younger than him can always make him feel extremely warm in the subtleties.

"Fifth brother also asked Mr. Chen to take his imperial bestowed sword to guard the gate of the camp, so that no one can disturb you." Is this actually a desire to hide your beauty in a golden house?Jing Mingquan added inwardly.

"Although he had to leave the capital because of something, he specifically told Lao Gao that he wanted to see your pulse. Even I couldn't help being moved by Fifth Brother's affection for you!"

Hey, did Mingrui mention my illness to Lao Gao?No wonder he would say "he is really sick".

Listening to Jing Mingquan talking about Jing Mingrui's concern for him from the perspective of a bystander.Ji Kongqing was both moved and helpless.

It seems that it is really easy for others to misunderstand!

But the real relationship between me and Mingrui is actually... Ji Kongqing touched his chin, he hasn't discussed it with Mingrui yet, so don't tell the truth lightly.In short, first find a reason to clear up the misunderstanding.

"The Sixth Prince misunderstood, the Commander is actually interested in my talent." Ji Kongqing thinks this reason is very credible.

Ji Kongqing showed his eloquence: "The commander is willing to give me a chance to show what I have learned, and I am very grateful for this opportunity. My past in Jing country is not a secret... Now it is hard for me to change my identity. I cherish the opportunity very much.”

Ji Kongqing continued to speak impassionedly: "If it is said that I have changed another country, and I have to go down the old path of serving people in Israel, then what is the point of me leaving Jing country?"

Besides, he was really desperate for feelings.

"Are you insulting yourself, or Fifth Brother? Comparing Fifth Brother with that sinister villain?" Jing Mingquan became angry, "If Fifth Brother is with you, he will only regard you as someone who can stand side by side." A man, a lover who is at the top of his heart. Definitely not a male favourite, who can come and go when he wants, and can exchange for benefits when necessary!"

"But the commander didn't treat me..." Ji Kongqing choked a little, how to explain it?

"Yes, I'm really not sure if Fifth Brother has feelings for you." Jing Mingquan readily admitted.

Ji Kongqing thought, and finally broke him over.

"But he definitely has you in his heart! Otherwise, why would he have asked me to drive back all night?"

Ji Kongqing was a little puzzled, did the sixth prince come back for me?

Jing Mingquan saw his doubts and explained: "The poison on your body is not completely unsolvable, but the method is a bit complicated. Now that the situation in northern Xinjiang is unstable, the Tianshu Camp is likely to go out soon, so Fifth Brother hopes I can solve this problem before that. In the next seven days, I will work with Lao Gao to help you reshape your meridians with medicine and internal force. If you succeed, you should be able to heal your pain and start practicing martial arts again. "

Ji Kongqing was so surprised that he couldn't speak.Mingrui... With his intentions, it doesn't matter if it can't be cured.

Jing Mingquan suddenly gave a ruffian smile and said, "Actually, my fifth brother looks pretty good, don't tell me you don't like him?"

Thinking of Jing Mingrui's face, Ji Kongqing couldn't help cursing, isn't that good?The whole thing is a monster!When I saw him for the first time, I almost dislocated my jaw in surprise.

Jing Mingquan suddenly raised his hand and threw a booklet to Ji Kongqing.

"This is...?" Ji Kongqing was puzzled.

"Fifth brother asked me to hand over the dowry gift!"

"Ah??!" Ji Kongqing almost threw back the booklet in his hand.

"I'm lying to you! After reshaping the meridians, you can no longer practice ordinary martial arts. This is a special inner strength method, a wonderful book written by a martial artist more than 100 years ago." Jing Mingrui added, "It is my personal collection."

"Oh—" Ji Kongqing patted his chest.It scared me to death, if Mingrui really meant that, then I...then I'll let him go!But luckily no...

"Take this as my wedding gift to honor Fifth Sister-in-law!"

"!" Fortunately, he supported his chin in time.

"Huh? It's getting late, I'm leaving first." Jing Mingquan leaped up the fence, and at the end he didn't forget to remind him, "Sister-in-law Wu, you have to be devoted to brother five!...Everything happened yesterday...such as death yesterday... ..." He disappeared in an instant.

Is your lightness skill amazing?As a prince, he likes to climb walls!

Although he could only rely on this cheat book that he obtained rather awkwardly, Ji Kongqing still decided that he must regain his martial arts!

It wasn't until he packed the chessboard, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the Cuiwei Pavilion that he understood the meaning of Jing Mingquan's last words...
