"What! Brother Huang is going to Jiangcheng soon?!"

Ji Lanshu's pupils shrank, and his heart shook!

Why did Brother Huang come to Jiangcheng? !

Just because I didn't return to the capital to reunite with him before the Mid-Autumn Festival?Or maybe he didn't accompany the emperor's brother to celebrate his birthday this year, so the emperor put aside state affairs and came all the way to find him?

Based on his understanding of the emperor's brother, he would never make such a rash decision.

But brother Huang is here!

In case of any accident on the way... No, no, no, there are not many capable people in the Yulin Army who are outstanding in martial arts, no matter how bad they are, there are Longhuwei.

My heart relaxed a little, and then I brought it up again—couldn't Brother Huang come to settle accounts with him?

When Ji Lanshu thought of facing his unfathomable imperial brother, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

He sighed inwardly with quite a headache, and said to the second from the left: "Let the third from the left stay here, you and the first from the left will follow me back."

The next day, Ji Lanshu returned to Jiangcheng.

Standing in the main courtyard of the palace, he glanced around and saw that the bonsai in the courtyard were well arranged, the small fountain on the rockery was bubbling and flowing, and the bluestone road was spotless.His face paled, and he said to the old housekeeper standing beside him: "Brother Huang will arrive tomorrow, take care of the people in the mansion, don't let those blind people bump into Brother Huang!"

The old housekeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he was as experienced as he was, so he couldn't help being shocked in disbelief.

Ji Lanshu continued: "I've worked hard for you these few days. Don't let the emperor's brother feel uncomfortable in the mansion! If anyone is disobedient, I'll beat you to death!"

After speaking, he glanced at several small courtyards in the backyard.

The old housekeeper understood and nodded yes.

On this day, in the royal palace, everyone from the concubine Ji, Lord Xiaolang, down to the lowly servants gathered in the meeting hall.

The new rules were promulgated by the old steward himself. He looked around the hall with serious eyes, and said in a stern tone: "The above, I hope everyone will remember, if anyone violates it, don't blame the palace for being merciless!"

All the servants immediately looked panic-stricken, lowered their bodies one after another, and responded respectfully: "The slaves (villains) dare not."

The faces of the concubines fluctuated, and they all looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, Mr. Xiao Lang, who lives in Xihe Garden, had a twinkle in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your steward has worked hard, but the mansion has never had such strict regulations, but the prince has an order?"

The old housekeeper glanced at him, then looked at the other gorgeously dressed concubines, and said, "You don't have to worry, just follow the rules, please go back."

Everyone should be, and they all dispersed in an instant.

On the second day, the main gate of the palace was opened for the second time since its completion. The servants standing on both sides were energetic and solemn, and even the stone lions in front of the gate were more powerful than usual.

Ji Lanshu changed into a crimson uniform, and the gold-thread-embroidered panlong on the clothes was dazzlingly bright under the sunlight.

At this time, he stood at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the Holy Majesty.

When the sun rose to the sky, a group of people appeared in the field of vision.Looking from a distance, dozens of guards on tall horses scattered on both sides, surrounded by a black flat-topped carriage in the middle.

The carriage was several times larger than ordinary carriages, and the four horses pulling the carriage were shiny in color and their limbs were strong and powerful.

The convoy slowly moved from far to near, and finally stopped in front of Shili Pavilion.

Ji Lanshu stepped forward quickly, and the guards on both sides immediately moved out of the way.He stood beside the carriage, bowed and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Lan Shu is here to welcome brother, brother has been exhausted all the way, traveling thousands of miles, is he all right?"

A white-faced and beardless eunuch stepped out of the carriage, and this person was Mo Sheng, the little eunuch next to Ji Lancheng.The little eunuch got out of the carriage, helped Ji Lanshu up, and said in a thin voice, "Your Majesty, my lord, please get in the carriage."

Ji Lanshu smiled and said, "Mr. Lao Mo." Then he got into the car.

Seeing that the people had already boarded the carriage, Eunuch Mo got on a spare horse and directed the convoy to move on.

As soon as Ji Lanshu put his hand on the door, he was pulled in by a slender and powerful hand stretched out from inside the car.

He was staggered by the drag, and he held down the small table in the carriage with one hand to manage to stabilize his figure.Looking up, he saw that the imperial brother who was like a crown jade was looking at him, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Ji Lancheng held his hand and said with a light smile, "Why are you so dawdling?"

Ji Lanshu cast an annoyed glance at Brother Huang, turned around and sat opposite him, finally unable to overcome the fear and anxiety in his heart, and said slightly reproachfully: "Jiangcheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, Brother Huang really has leisure time, and actually let go of it." For affairs in the imperial court, I spared no effort to make this trip. In case something happens along the way, does the Emperor want to make the death of my subjects unavoidable?"

After finishing speaking, I was afraid that my words would be too heavy, so I lowered my voice again: "Brother Huang has something to do, all he needs is an imperial edict, and my younger brother will return to Beijing, why do you need to come in person?"

A dark light flashed in Ji Lancheng's eyes, and it was fleeting. He squinted his phoenix eyes, which were exactly the same as Ji Lanshu, and said with a worried expression: "I asked you to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't want you but I was sick. You are fine, you are sick." Not sending a letter to tell me when it’s all over, it makes me always remember, if I don’t see it with my own eyes, I really can’t feel at ease.”

He raised his other hand, bent his index finger and tapped on Ji Lanshu's forehead, and said with a doting smile, "You're so old, you're not sensible yet!"

Ji Lanshu smiled, and lowered his voice two points: "Isn't it, something is wrong!"

Ji Lancheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let me guess what is it that makes my Prince Chu so interested?"

He pretended to be thinking, and after a while, he said: "Could it be that you found my former prince and master? Your childhood savior?"

Ji Lanshu said seriously: "Brother Emperor is wise, that's exactly what it is."

The young emperor's eyes showed nostalgia: "Fan Shaoshi is outstanding in knowledge, and I have benefited a lot from his teaching. He is decent, but his temper is too straightforward." He looked at Ji Lanshu and asked, "How is he living now? good?"

Ji Lanshu shook his head, with a regretful expression, and said softly: "Fan Daru was seriously injured by a horse's hoof a year ago in order to save a child under a startled horse's hoof, and has passed away."

Ji Lancheng was quite surprised, and saw the disappointment on the face of the person opposite. He couldn't see his younger brother who was on top of his heart showing such an appearance, and quickly comforted him: "Since he has no chance to repay Master Fan, he still has relatives, so you can take care of him more." They can do it, don’t worry about it.”

Ji Lanshu lowered his head and said yes.

However, the emperor's jade face sank slightly, and he changed the subject, and asked: "I heard that our Lord Chu recently got another beautiful woman, and he learned about the beauty of the golden house without a teacher?"

Ji Lanshu's brows twitched, his eyes seemed to be dodged, and he said loudly: "It's just uninhibited talk! The younger brother is just...just appreciating their talents!"

Ji Lancheng stared at his obviously uncomfortable younger brother meaningfully, and said with a light smile: "I once said, one day when I am here, you can do as you please. But you have been too reckless recently, listen to the ministers Our comments on you are just saying that I have indulged you too much!"

As soon as Ji Lanshu heard it, he predicted in his heart what Brother Huang would say in the next moment—it must be to let him go to Beijing again!

Sure enough, his good emperor brother was clichéd again, saying: "This time I went to Chu, not only to see you in good health, but also to understand the people's sentiments, and the most important thing is to bring you back to Beijing. "

Ji Lancheng gradually tightened his grip on his hand, and said with burning eyes: "Lan Shu, you go back with me. In this world, you are the only blood relative of me. You have the heart to watch me in the deep palace, even a Can’t find anyone who speaks their own words?”

After hearing this, Ji Lanshu's long-standing weird feeling came back to his heart.He didn't want to think too much, just smiled and said: "Brother Huang is serious. Now that Brother Huang is here in person, how can I refuse?"

Ji Lancheng's brows were relaxed, his thin lips were slightly raised, and he showed a meaningful smile, and said, "That's very good."

He let go of Ji Lanshu's hand, and turned to pick up the white jade teacup on the table, using the movement of drinking tea to hide the gloomy look in his eyes.

The carriage drove all the way, and while the two were talking, they arrived at the Prince Chu's Mansion.

The servant standing in front of the main gate saw the convoy approaching, and immediately removed the gate sill, allowing the carriage to drive in unimpeded.

Ji Lanshu got out of the carriage first, and after standing still, he reached out to help Ji Lancheng get out of the carriage.Seeing Brother Huang looking around, he hurriedly said: "Brother, you have been traveling all the way, why don't you follow me to wash up."

Ji Lancheng nodded and said, "Alright."

The old housekeeper and the young eunuch stepped forward immediately, one commanded the servants to prepare hot water, the other prepared the items used by the emperor one by one, and unloaded the luggage cage from the car.

He was busy for a while, but he was in an orderly manner, and there was no panic at all.

Ji Lanshu walked in with the emperor's brother, and after entering the main courtyard, he said: "Although this place is not as good as the emperor's bedroom, it is still acceptable. I have wronged the emperor."

Ji Lancheng looked at the furnishings in the inner room, knowing that this must be his bedroom, and asked, "Where do you live?"

Ji Lanshu said: "It's good for my brother to sleep in the study."

Ji Lancheng smiled and said: "Why go to sleep in the study? You can sleep with me."

Ji Lan frowned imperceptibly, and immediately agreed.

I couldn't help but secretly sighed in my heart: During the time when the emperor was here, most likely he couldn't sleep peacefully.

Compared with Ji Lanshu's tangled mood, Fan Yi's mood at this time is very happy.

In the past few days, he took the medicine according to the prescription given by Ji Lanshu, and after drinking it, his body gradually returned to normal.He went to Zhu's mansion on time every day to listen to Zhu Shishu's teachings, carefully completed the homework of the day, and then read the books left by his father to study by himself.

Life is simple and fulfilling.

Fan Yi also found time to find He Qing and told him that his matter had been resolved. In exchange, He Qing pretended to be angry and said that he had lost a lot of hair in order to find a way to improve it. Take Fan Yi's head.

During the period, Miss Qimeng from Chunyuan asked someone to bring a bag of silver taels, saying that it was an apology for that day-the new maid served the wrong tea, and he drank it accidentally, which caused his physical discomfort.Miss Qimeng felt deeply guilty, and specifically stated that he would not have to go to Chunyuan in the future, and if there was a new manuscript, just send someone to pass it on, and someone would come to pick it up.

Even Lin's illness has improved, and his spirit is much better than before. He followed Fan Yi around the courtyard a few times every day, and his face gradually became rosy.

Even Zhu Wenxuan, who was reviewing the book with him, could see Fan Yi's good mood.

Zhu Wenxuan put down the book in his hand, thought for a while, and told Fan Yi what he had pondered for a few days: "Xiao Fan, as the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Agreed."

Fan Yi turned to look at him and asked, "Brother, do you want to go on a study tour? But aren't you going to participate in Qiu Wei next year?"

Zhu Wenxuan smiled and said, "It's not me, it's us. Xiaofan, would you like to go with me? I have decided to take the provincial examination next year."

Fan Yi was stunned, he never thought of going on a study tour.

Brother's characteristics make him afraid to travel far, this is one of them.

But now with that prescription, he was no longer troubled by passion.

Second, there are only two helpless women in the family, his mother and younger sister. He doesn't even dare to think about how they will make a living if he leaves home for a year or so.

Seeing Fan Yi's concerns, Zhu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Xiao Fan doesn't need to make a decision now, but he can go back and discuss with the elders at home, it's not too late to make a decision."

Fan Yi nodded, and returned home at dusk.

Walking on the road, he thought about the necessity and possibility of his study tour.

In more than a year, he will go to Beijing to participate in Qiu Wei, and relying on the knowledge in the book is only on paper, which is useless.If you want to have something to say on the test paper, you must understand the current situation of people's livelihood, and you can be aware of the shortcomings or improvements of any government orders.

Fan Yi thought to himself, he had to find a way to get the best of both worlds, he didn't want to miss Zhu Wenxuan's invitation.
