When Ji Xuemian returned to Ji's mansion, his face was still red and he looked very healthy, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was shocked by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

It turned out that the servants who were on vacation all came back and stood in two rows waiting for him. Ji Xuemian felt a different atmosphere, as if someone had come.

Lan Shen and Lingyin came out beamingly and asked, "My lord, isn't His Majesty the Regent with you?"

"No, Shen Jing came to look for him this morning. The Prince Regent went to the military camp outside Beijing." Ji Xuemian said calmly, but she tilted her head unconsciously.

It was only after he sobered up that he realized what he had said last night. Now that he thought about it, it was... embarrassing.

When Shen Jing saw the two of them leaving the dormitory together in the morning, he smiled in amazement, he came to pick up Duan Qichi and go to the barracks, Duan Qichi, that careless person, actually asked him if he was going, Ji Xuemian ignored him, shook his sleeves and left, After walking a few steps, Lin Yuan kicked him up and sent him back to Ji Mansion himself.

Lan Shen and Lingyin didn't ask any more questions, they looked at each other knowingly while supporting their chief assistant.

The wolf-minded king regent went back to train his soldiers and horses, but his lord let him go without speaking in a normal tone. The two secretly admired the good skills of the king regent, and they probably spent a lot of time trying to please their master.

However, if you want to train a soldier, you have to ask for instructions to kill his chief assistant. This regent is more aggrieved than the emperor who was regent.

The two of them escorted Ji Xuemian into the mansion one by one, and Lan Shen said, "Your Excellency doesn't know, relatives have come from your hometown in the northwest!"

Lingyin: "I came to celebrate your birthday! There are a lot of people. They arrived last night, but you were not there. The slaves and guard Lan settled them down."

Ji Xuemian was stunned. After counting the days, next month will be his birthday. Speaking of relatives in the Northwest, there is none more than the uncle of the Northwest Protectorate and the second uncle of the Xuanwei Division. Protecting his position in the court, although thousands of miles away could not help him, at least it did not make him worry about the situation in the northwest frontier.

This time the regent made up his mind to celebrate his birthday. It must be said that it is hard work for the chief assistant to serve as the emperor's teacher. The country is prosperous and the people are safe, so he should celebrate his birthday. For a while, the government and the opposition are very powerful. They see that the gifts of officials from all over the country are as if they don't want money. Ji Xuemian sent him off to Ji's mansion, but Ji Xuemian didn't return all night, the mansion that was empty yesterday was actually full of rare treasures.

Lingyin explained: "I received this all in the morning. The people in the house are so busy that they were all watching when the door of our house will open. Wu Yangyang stepped through the threshold."

But Lan Shen said in a low voice: "I see that Ji Duhu and Mei Xuanwei, your uncle and second uncle, have brought their family members and a lot of luggage, and they seem to be staying in the old house in Beijing for a while. Promise for you, take advantage of this time to marry you a lady..."

"Or find a husband to marry into the mansion. This is what Second Uncle Mei said. There should be someone in charge of the family affairs in the mansion. As elders, they are going to make decisions for your life." Lingyin laughed while talking , observing Ji Xuemian's expression, it turned green and red for a while, and the smile became more joyful.

Just as they were talking, they saw Ji Yu and Mei Changqing playing chess in the garden, seeing Ji Xuemian approaching, they clasped their hands together, Ji Xuemian stepped forward to help them up, his complexion was as bright as peaches and plums, and his eyes were not as cold as ice, The whole person smiled unconsciously, "Uncle, uncle."

Mei Changqing was surprised: "It's so strange, my nephew is actually smiling? To tell you the truth, my sister brought him home so many times, and I have never seen this child smile since I was a child."

Like him, Ji Yu was only in his 40s, but he was mature and prudent. He looked at Ji Xuemian a few times, and asked him clearly: "Si Ling, where did you go last night and what did you do? So happy? Don't lie to Uncle, I'm from here."

Ji Xuemian was stunned, not knowing what to say, and after a long while he calmly said, "Festival."

Ji Yu was as bright as a mirror in his heart, and he didn't make things difficult for him: "Instead of going out for a private meeting, it's better to get married. We two old things will live in the capital first, and we just have something to do. Before we leave, we have to make an appointment for your lifelong event." alright."

marry back?

who to marryMarry the Regent?

It's not impossible, if he puts on a phoenix crown and Xiapei and marries in gracefully, it seems not bad, with his handsome face, he will be a beautiful newlywed.

A little smile flashed in Ji Xuemian's eyes again, and when Ji Yu and Mei Changqing saw them, she was startled, and secretly became concerned about this matter, "Which family is this girl, call you?" Like it so much?"

Ji Xuemian shook his head: "No, since uncle and second uncle are here, nephew should treat them well."

From that day on, the uncle and the second uncle lived in the capital together with several accompanying princes. Ji Yu and Mei Changqing came to visit the Ji Mansion from time to time, and several princes also came to visit Ji Xuemian, the elder brother. Ji Xuemian went to court during the day, In the afternoon, I came back to clean up the affairs of the mansion, reviewed some memorials and sent them back to Xuanwo. I was very busy, and it was my birthday in a blink of an eye.

One hour before his birthday, when Ji Yu and Mei Changqing were talking to Ji Xuemian in his room, they heard Lingyin calling outside: "Your Majesty the Regent, are you here? Why are you still carrying so many things? Can you find someone else?" Master Fu? Wait a moment, sir is busy discussing with the two masters of the family—”

"The regent is here?" Mei Changqing put down the scroll, "Si Ling, does the regent often come to the door at night?"

Ji Xuemian also answered truthfully: "No, this is the first time."

Ji Yu was studying ink, and stopped his movements: "I'm afraid there is something important? Si Ling, why don't you go out to greet him? The bad etiquette made him pick a problem, why don't you embarrass you in the court? Go quickly."

Duan Qichi walked in from outside Ji's mansion, and when he opened the door, he didn't expect to see three people, his face was calm, he walked to the big chair with golden branches and sat down, as if there was some serious matter.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Yu and Mei Changqing mentioned that they wanted to marry Ji Xuemian when they came to Beijing this time. Duan Qichi heard it and smiled inexplicably, "What does Ji Shoufu mean?"

Mei Changqing said: "My nephew is stupid in reading and doesn't know anything about it. If the regent has a good candidate, why not help find one?"

Duan Qichi narrowed his long eyes slightly, "Well, I have a good candidate, and when the time is right, I'll bring it to the two elders to have a look, okay?"

Ji Yu responded: "If you can really marry into my Ji family, that would be a good thing."

"Marry..." Duan Qichi smiled, "It's easy to say, as long as Ji Shoufu agrees, there is no problem."

"Prince Regent, stop joking." Ji Xuemian decided to stop this topic from developing indiscriminately: "Are you here tonight for something?"

Duan Qichi said nothing, Ji Yu took Mei Changqing back, and closed the door intimately before leaving.

Duan Qichi got up and walked over, helped Ji Xuemian to sit down, took his hand, looked at him with a smile on his face, "I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

I haven't seen him for a month, and he looks thinner and stronger than before. It seems that this person really has a good foundation and can withstand tossing.

"Isn't it tomorrow?" Ji Xuemian had nothing to do with him, "I entered the palace today, almost thinking that the empress is pregnant, it's too rich."

Duan Qichi mysteriously took out something from his sleeve, "Don't worry about it. I got a new good thing these days, and I think it should look good on you."

Ji Xuemian took it over and looked at it, and it was really novel: "Things from the Western Regions? This jade is not common."

Duan Qichi went around behind him, and carefully braided several strings of Lanxi Brocade Jade into his hair. Jade beads blooming with coquettish charm were woven into his hair, and every few beads were decorated with Duan gold hoops. The transparent glass, at first glance, I thought it was a handsome young man from the Western Regions, dignified and extravagant.

"It doesn't matter if you see him often or not, do you like it?" Duan Qichi hugged him from behind, "If you don't like it, I'll throw it away."

Ji Xuemian was helpless, "I like it, don't throw it away."

"Since you like this one, then I have something else to give you." Duan Qichi smiled maliciously, and Ji Xuemian instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he took out a small box and took out a small jade bar: "This one is also The benefits of the tribute items from the Western Regions are different, they cannot be worn, but can only be used.”

Ji Xuemian knew what "use" meant without even thinking about it.

He pushed the box away, and his ears turned red for a while, "No need."

"It's a good thing." Duan Qichi said with a sincere expression on his face, "Put it anywhere, it can relieve the symptoms of body cold and coldness. Although the place where it is put in cannot be said, but it is useful, just take it."

Ji Xuemian glanced at him, "My lord, if you bother, I will accept it."

Duan Qichi hugged him contentedly, kissed his lips, "I'll come back tomorrow night."

After Duan Qi left, Ji Xuemian felt sick again, and called Lingyin, and as expected, he got two bowls of bitter medicinal soup.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xuemian has been pregnant for about three months, and drinking this bitter water every day makes her feel unhappy.

This belly is... gradually revealing a smoother appearance. In the past, his waist was slender and thin, but now it looks a little straight. Although it can't be seen, but just now Duan Qichi was caught off guard and hugged him. Ji Xuemian My heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, Duan Qichi didn't feel it at all, even Ji Xuemian didn't notice it if he didn't pay attention, it may be that his body is too thin, and he is a brother, which is different from ordinary women's disease.

This night was tossing and turning again, not sleeping well, the next day when he entered the palace and sat on the seat of the birthday star, Ji Xuemian was not very hungry when he looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes.

Fortunately, there is a pot of fresh sour plum soup and a bowl of white lotus seed soup in front of him, accompanied by a few fresh side dishes, which seem to have more appetite than big fish and meat.

Duan Qichi just looked at him like that, seeing that he really cared about these things, he didn't think much about it, so he guessed that he had a unique taste, so he drank wine and talked with others.

In the autumn of this year, the Jinshi who had been admitted to the imperial examination was selected. When he came in with a young man who was waiting for him, he originally saluted properly. Xuan Wo, instead of looking at others, stabbed towards Ji Xuemian——

Ji Xuemian threw the cup casually, the blade hit the tile, the assassin's knife vibrated violently, Ji Xuemian dodged sideways, his movements were still vigorous.

"Where is the madman, who is overestimated?" Ji Xuemian didn't need to do it himself, but he was thinking of a quick victory, so he used his real kung fu.

Everyone watching was dumbfounded, "Is this the sickly Ji Shoufu I know?"

"Both civil and military, you are indeed a talented scholar who won the number one scholar back then!"

"Why does the assassin seem to have a spider tattooed on his neck? Could it be that evil beast again!"

After a few moves, no one else could intervene, and saw that the assassin gradually lost the wind. When Ji Xuemian stepped on his chest and held the dagger to his throat, he licked his teeth and smiled: "Master Shoufu, what do you think this is?"

Ji Xuemian was very familiar with this voice.

Lifting his mask, it turned out to be Mr. Xue.

And what he just threw out was the bellyband with spider tattoos found in the military camp when he was in southern Xinjiang.

Ji Xuemian's pupils constricted, why is this thing here!

Mr. Xue is no longer the delicate and pretty appearance at that time, now it seems that he is indeed a murderous appearance, he pretended so much in the past, Ji Xuemian recalled carefully, maybe he should be more vigilant to him from the beginning.

No one can be born to look almost exactly the same as others, except that he deliberately disguises himself, and he can stay by Xuanwo's side for so long without falling out of favor, and he is also an eunuch...

Eunuch?

Ji Xuemian suddenly remembered that at the palace banquet, a little eunuch poured him sour plum soup, but secretly looked at the big eunuch Zhao Yu——

Could it be that the leader of "Spider" is Zhao Yu?

Ji Xuemian suppressed his thoughts, not only did he have no evidence, but he was afraid that he would be poured a pot of "spider accomplice" dirty water.

Young Master Xue said: "Brother Si Ling, how do you explain this thing found in your luggage? Could it be your own?"

Everyone held their breath and looked at Ji Xuemian cautiously.

Ji Xuemian's head buzzed, he wasn't sure if it was the apron that Duan Qichi painted on him...

In that one, the entire body of his body... was drawn clearly.

"Brother Si Ling, do you want to take a look?" Mr. Xue laughed maliciously, and was about to unfold the bellyband, but was pierced by a sword flying across the sky!

It's Duan Qichi.

No one dared to make a sound, the guards were protecting Xuanwo, and the guards who were close were bleeding all over their faces.

And Mr. Xue fell to the ground, his eyes were dull, but he looked straight at Zhao Yu.

Ji Xuemian noticed the subtle look in his eyes, unwilling but determined to die, he glanced at Zhao Yu and found that the other party was staring at him.

Ji Xuemian never makes mistakes in knowing people, such eyes...

Vicious, like a real vicious dog.

Duan Qichi drank the wine and didn't care much: "Don't even have eyes? Drag it down and feed the dog."

Only then did a group of guards dare to step forward and drag the dead body out.

However, Xuanwo and Xuanyi kept their eyes on the bellyband.

Xuan Wo was still stunned, as if he couldn't believe that Mr. Xue died like this, and after a while he asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle Emperor, what is the painting on it?"
