Nianqiao placed a generous palm on his forehead, he was so nervous that he shook his head hastily, and said to Ji Xuerong, "The head doesn't hurt, the injury has already healed."

The wound on the head was still left in the hunting ground.

Nianqiao tried his best to avoid Ji Xuerong's palm, moved a little to the side, and deliberately covered his arms with one hand.

Ji Xuerong just glanced into his arms, his cheeks were flushed and hot, afraid that Ji Xuerong would find out that something was wrong.

"It's not a pain in the head, what's wrong with it?" Ji Xuerong asked him.

Nianqiao said in a low voice: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, Your Highness, can I go back first?"

His voice was thin and soft, like a small animal humming, as if it was really the case.

"Stomach is uncomfortable?" Ji Xuerong lowered her eyebrows slightly, touched his lower abdomen through her clothes, stopped at a slightly upward position, and asked him, "Is this here?"

Nian Qiao raised his heart, he was afraid that Ji Xuerong would touch the book in his arms if he went up.

He shook his head hastily, and pressed Ji Xuerong's wrist with one hand, unwilling to let Ji Xuerong touch it further.

"No, Your Highness." Nianqiao held Ji Xuerong's wrist with one hand, he bent slightly, Ji Xuerong looked worried, as if he was really worried about him.

"That's here?" Ji Xuerong pointed her fingertips down slightly, rubbing on his belly, even through the clothes, Nianqiao felt very uncomfortable, and her face turned red, which felt strange.

Ji Xuerong's brows and eyes were covered with a shadow, her voice was cold and restrained, and she said to him, "When you read the bridge, you must always know what is uncomfortable, and I am alone worried about you."

Nianqiao's ears were hot, and he felt that he would not be able to stand still if he continued to touch them. He blushed and said, "It was His Highness who touched it... Don't touch it anymore, Your Highness. I'll go back and take some digestion medicine and it won't hurt. gone."

"It's because I ate too much at night, and I have some accumulated food." Ji Xuerong still put her hands on his stomach, and said to him, "Gu rub it for you, and it won't be so uncomfortable."

If it were someone else at another time, Nianqiao would definitely be furious, but he himself said that his stomach was uncomfortable, and Ji Xuerong was always gentle, so he really shot himself in the foot.

Nianqiao looked at Ji Xuerong's indifferent face, and thought to himself that it would be better to bear it for a while.Ji Xuerong looked like a cold jade, and his knuckles were also icy. Rubbing his stomach through his clothes, he couldn't bear it after a while.

"Your Highness... I don't feel any pain anymore, so you don't need to help me." Nianqiao's face seemed to be smoking, and he regretted a little. He knew that he would not take Ji Xuerong's book.

Every time Ji Xuerong took advantage of him, even if Ji Xuerong didn't know it, he could get it back from him.

He was a little unsteady, and pressed Ji Xuerong's hand with his thin white fingertips, preventing Ji Xuerong from moving again, "I really don't feel any pain anymore."

Hearing this, Ji Xuerong withdrew her hand and said to him, "If you want to read next time, you can come over anytime."

Nian Qiao nodded indiscriminately, he just wanted to escape from Ji Xuerong as soon as possible, he couldn't stay in the East Palace any longer.

Ji Xuerong looked at him and added, "If you want to borrow books, you can tell Gu."

Nian Qiao responded, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can I go back?"

Ji Xuerong said, "Yes."

He just left.

Nianqiao breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the gate of the East Palace. He went all the way back to Qianque Palace. After returning, he went to his hut first, took out the books, and then went to look for Ji Lingyu.

Ji Lingyu was waiting for him in the main hall, he trotted over and gave the book to Ji Lingyu like a treasure.

"Your Highness, take a look, are these the two books you want?"

Ji Lingyu prepared snacks for him in the palace, and he glanced at them, and there were warm Yuanxiao, round and plump, which looked soft and delicious.

"Nianqiao, where did you get this book?" Ji Lingyu asked.

How could Nianqiao dare to tell the truth, he whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lent it to me. I saw it on the bookshelf, so I asked the Crown Prince if he could borrow it, and the Crown Prince said yes."

Ji Lingyu put the two books aside, didn't take them seriously, and asked, "Why did he call you over?"

It turned out that the prince said there was something to do, but when Nian Qiao recalled it, it seemed that Ji Xuerong didn't tell him anything, and only left him to eat and read.

Maybe he was in a hurry, and Ji Xuerong didn't have time to say anything.

"The prince didn't say anything." Nian Qiao asked, "Your Highness Seventh, the prince will call me over in the future, should I go?"

Ji Lingyu: "If he calls you, you go there, and if he calls you often, you tell me... what he said and what he did to you every day."

Ji Lingyu brought up the bowl of warm Lantern Festival and said to him, "Nianqiao, if possible, try to see who he sees every day."

Nianqiao said, his attention was attracted by Yuanxiao, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard that.

He talked so much with Ji Xuerong every day, how could he remember it?

Nianqiao thought so, but didn't say it out loud, for fear that His Highness the Seventh Prince would think he was useless, what if he sent him away.

He was already stuffed with food, and he ate another bowl of Lantern Festival. When he returned to his hut, he really accumulated food, and he didn't fall asleep until late.

Nianqiao thought about it for two days and came up with a good idea. He specially made a booklet during class and made a small pen out of bamboo charcoal. He planned to write down everything Ji Xuerong said to him in the future.

This day was riding and archery class, and Nianqiao went with him. Ji Lingyu was the last to pick up the horse and stayed at the racecourse for a long time.He didn't see Xiao Yiyun's figure, so he was slightly relieved.

Nianqiao saw the eldest prince and the fifth prince. Since the last incident, the eldest prince deliberately picked the place farthest from the fifth prince when riding and shooting, so that the two sides would not interfere with each other.

He waited on the spot, saw Ji Xuerong, after a while Shangshan came to call him, and he went over with his little notebook.

You have to write down what you said to Ji Xuerong every day, and write down who Ji Xuerong met.

Because it was riding and shooting, Ji Xuerong wore tight-fitting clothes and knee pads on her wrists and knees.

Nian Qiao also changed his clothes, but he didn't have knee pads.

The horse Ji Xuerong was riding was the one she had seen in the hunting ground last time, and it was called Weifeng.

The riding and shooting range is close to the barracks. The site is very large, and the edge is the old Tongque Building.

"Nianqiao, come up."

This was the first sentence Ji Xuerong said to him. Nianqiao was thinking whether he should write it down, but after he hesitated for a while, Ji Xuerong had already stretched out his hand, apparently wanting to pull him onto the horse.

Nianqiao was pulled onto the horse, and he sat in front of Ji Xuerong. Ji Xuerong also chose a remote corner, as if deliberately avoiding the princes.

"Your Highness, you want to teach me how to ride a horse?" Nian Qiao asked.

Behind him is Ji Xuerong, and Ji Xuerong walks through him to grab the reins, he seems to be hugged in his arms, the tip of his nose is full of the fragrance of cold rhinoceros.

Hearing the humming from the person behind him, Nianqiao's mind was full of the tasks entrusted to him by the Seventh Prince.Do you want to remember this sentence?But after writing down this sentence, should Ji Xuerong also write down the first sentence he said to him?

Nianqiao quickly lost his mind to thinking, because Ji Xuerong pulled the reins slightly, Weifeng accelerated his speed, the horse's back was bumped, and in front of him was a section of road that was flying by at high speed.

"Your Highness, please slow down." Nianqiao was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he could hear the sound of horseshoes, he didn't dare to pull the reins, so he hugged Ji Xuerong's arm and retracted into Ji Xuerong's arms.

He seemed to hear a laugh, very subtle, but Nianqiao caught it, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

What did you say to teach him how to ride a horse? Maybe it was to see him make a fool of himself on purpose.

Nianqiao was a little annoyed, he was busy holding Ji Xuerong with both hands, worried that Ji Xuerong would throw him away.

Only his mouth was idle, so he turned around and hugged the person sideways, aiming here and there, not knowing where to start his mouth.

If he bites Ji Xuerong's face, someone will ask later, and Ji Xuerong said that he will be punished.

To bite a place that is not easy to find.

"Nianqiao, don't move around." Ji Xuerong pressed his head with one hand, Nianqiao obediently lay in Ji Xuerong's arms, and while Ji Xuerong was not paying attention, he leaned forward and bit Ji Xuerong's neck.

Nianqiao noticed that Ji Xuerong froze a little, he was a little satisfied, the tiger teeth were a little bit deeper, and he tasted a little blood, he hesitated, if Ji Xuerong would be angry if there was blood.

So he licked it carefully again, licking off the blood that flowed out.

In this way, Ji Xuerong couldn't be angry anymore.

However, in the next second, Ji Xuerong held his waist tightly, and Nianqiao was startled.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Nianqiao was trapped in Ji Xuerong's arms, Ji Xuerong pressed him, her voice became a little hoarse, "Don't move around."

His breath burned to his neck, Nianqiao felt itchy, he couldn't help twisting, but he was afraid that Ji Xuerong would get angry, so he didn't move around.

Nianqiao maintained the posture in Ji Xuerong's arms, and felt that the surroundings were getting more and more sideways, so he couldn't help but feel worried.

Where is Ji Xuerong taking him?

Soon Ji Xuerong stopped, he was still sitting on the horse, Ji Xuerong said to him, "Nianqiao, you wait here for a while."

Weifeng stopped in front of the Tongque Tower. The Tongque Tower was an abandoned palace. He knew that this building was originally built for the former queen, and even earlier, it was originally a ruined site left by the former dynasty.

Later, after Emperor Jinghe came to the throne, it was repaired again for the queen. Before the queen died, she moved away from the Tongque Palace. In addition, a new riding and shooting field was built here, so it was abandoned.

What is Ji Xuerong doing here?

Because it's the place where my mother lived, why don't you come over and have a look?

Nian Qiao was sitting on horseback, he was a little curious, hesitated for a while, and then tiptoed down from Weifeng.

Weifeng breathed out at him through his nostrils, and the horse's hooves followed suit.

Nianqiao patted the horse's head, comforted it and said, "I'm going to find your master, you don't want to follow."

The gate of Tongque Palace was closed, Nianqiao didn't enter through the main entrance, he followed Ji Xuerong's direction to the side courtyard, just as he walked to the side courtyard, he saw Ji Xuerong.

In the center of the hall stood a black lacquer tablet, and the side hall was built in the shade, so the light could not penetrate, and Ji Xuerong seemed to melt into the shadow.

Nianqiao was frightened when he saw the memorial tablet. He was about to turn back when he heard Ji Xuerong's voice.

Ji Xuerong was talking to someone, and there was another person here.

Nianqiao couldn't help tiptoeing to look, he tried hard to see who Ji Xuerong was talking to, but he saw that person hiding in the dark.

He put his hands on the door, and when he exerted a little force, the door was pushed forward, and the door made a "creak" sound.

Ji Xuerong turned sideways, and he and Ji Xuerong caught sight of each other unexpectedly.

"Nianqiao?" Ji Xuerong's voice was gentle, as if nothing had happened, "Come here."

Nianqiao noticed that the figure talking to Ji Xuerong had disappeared, and there was a whizzing behind him, could it be a ghost?

"Why are you here?" Ji Xuerong asked him.

Nianqiao glanced to the side again, making sure there was no place for Tibetans, he felt that the courtyard was also very gloomy, so he moved towards Ji Xuerong.

"I'm bored waiting alone." Nian Qiao said, "Your Highness, I just saw you talking to someone."

Ji Xuerong said: "Nianqiao is wrong, there is only one person here."

It is impossible for Nianqiao to read it wrong. Ji Xuerong was talking to someone just now. Could it be that he was not talking to someone?

Then he ran into a ghost just now?

The more Nianqiao thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he saw the pitch-black ranking, he saw a cloud on it. He knew that the queen's surname was Yun.

He couldn't help hugging Ji Xuerong's arm, and said to Ji Xuerong: "Your Highness, are you lying to me?"

Nianqiao wanted to urge Ji Xuerong to go back quickly, but he didn't dare to think that Queen Yun might be watching from the side.

When the mother and child meet, he is urging something beside him.

Ji Xuerong lowered her eyes slightly, the young man leaned against him, her eyes were looking around, her little face turned pale with fright.

After a long time, he hummed.

"Let's go back."

Nianqiao didn't realize it for a long time, he followed Ji Xuerong out, and then realized what Ji Xuerong said just now.

Said he was indeed lying.

"Your Highness, who was it that was talking to you just now?" Nian Qiao hurriedly asked.

Ji Xuerong didn't answer his question, but asked, "Nianqiao, are you hungry?"

"Shang Shanxin learned a kind of dim sum. You can knead the dough into the shape of a peacock. Have you ever seen a peacock?"

Nianqiao was immediately attracted to the peacock-shaped dim sum?He hadn't seen it.

"Can Shangshan still make dim sum?"

……

Xiao Yiyun saw Ji Lingyu at the racecourse, the princes each had their own stables, only Ji Lingyu needed to pick horses from the stables of the shooting range.

Having not seen Nianqiao for several days, Xiao Yiyun felt a little itchy, mainly because the prince was watching, if he was restless, he might be sent to the frontier at any time.

"Seventh Prince, where is Nianqiao?" Xiao Yiyun asked.

"Your Highness the Seventh is embarrassed to let him in and let him wait outside?" As he spoke, Xiao Yiyun glanced outside.

Ji Lingyu was changing the saddles for the horses, which could have been done by his servants, but he didn't want to accidentally fall off the horse, so he did it himself.

"He's with the crown prince." Ji Lingyu said.

Xiao Yiyun said something troublesome, and before leaving, he didn't forget to step on Ji Lingyu, "This horse is a strong horse, but it's just a bad breed. His Highness the Seventh Prince chooses this horse, and be careful not to fall off the horse's back."

After speaking, he sneered and left.

There are different breeds of horses. Some horses are strong, but they are not good horses. This kind of hybrid breed is a defective product after all.

Ji Lingyu held the reins without saying a word. After they left, he was the only one left in the stable.

The surrounding eunuchs were guarding here, and Ji Lingyu asked, "What is Xiao Shizi doing here?"

The little eunuch said honestly: "Shizi Xiao took a fancy to a jujube horse a few days ago, and that jujube horse fell ill, and now he is serving in the inner compartment."

Ji Lingyu seemed to ask casually, and led her horse out.

After Nianqiao came back, he went to Ji Lingyu's. He wasted a lot of time with Ji Xuerong, and he didn't ask who Ji Xuerong had met.

After he came back, Ji Lingyu didn't say anything, and asked him to pick up the target outside the field.

It was calm on their side, but something happened to Xiao Yiyun's side.

Just as Nian Qiao came back from picking up the target, he saw Xiao Yiyun's horse stumble, and the horse rushed forward like crazy, throwing Xiao Yiyun off.

This accident happened in just a few moments, fortunately Xiao Yiyun reacted quickly, otherwise he would be trampled by a horse's hoof, and his leg might be broken.

Nianqiao froze in place, he had just picked up the arrow when he heard Ji Lingyu say "it's a pity".

The voice was very soft, as if it was going to be blown into the wind.

"Your Highness Seventh, what a pity?" Nian Qiao asked.

Ji Lingyu looked back, took the arrow in his hand, and said to him: "It's a pity that it is a second-class horse."

On weekdays, Xiao Yiyun always liked to race horses with the fifth prince, and Nianqiao could tell that the relationship between these two people was really good.He saw the fifth prince's gloomy face from a distance, and ordered someone to send the imperial physician over, and at the same time called the guards.

Last month it was the First Prince's attendant who had an accident, this time it was Xiao Yiyun who was beside the Fifth Prince.

Ji Xuerong and Xiao Yiyun are cousins, Ji Xuerong went over to ask about the situation, the Seventh Prince had a low sense of presence, and led him to stand outside.

"What's going on here?" Ji Xuerong asked.

The guard inspected the horse, and said to Ji Xuerong: "His Royal Highness, this jujube horse was ill a few days ago, and he recovered yesterday. Today, he was given some medicine. Maybe it was due to the conflict of the medicine, which caused it to suddenly become weak and hit Prince Xiao. "

Xiao Yiyun avoided the horse's hoof in a hurry just now, even so, half of his leg was broken, and he would not be able to stand up for a while, his face looked slightly pale.

The fifth prince, Ji Haochen, squatted aside and listened to Xiao Yiyun's words. Not knowing what Xiao Yiyun said, the fifth prince's sharp gaze suddenly swept towards them.

On weekdays, the fifth prince was lazy, and together with Xiao Yiyun, he seemed out of shape.Now his sight was like a sharpened blade, Ji Lingyu stood still, but Nianqiao was flustered by the sight.

very scary.

"Don't worry, let me find out who did it," the fifth prince said word by word, "this prince must have broken his leg."

His gaze was as cold as a star, and he was speaking to the Seventh Prince.

Without evidence, why alluding to the Seventh Prince?It must be Xiao Yiyun's instigation, Nian Qiao originally thought Xiao Yiyun was a bit miserable, but now he feels that he deserved it.

Ji Xuerong sent guards to ask the servants in the stables, among the highnesses, only the seventh prince had been to the stables.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is worried, he will come to the stable every time to change the saddle, and the slave is always in the stable when the Highness Seventh comes down, His Highness the Seventh Highness has never set foot in the Zaoma room." The little eunuch said truthfully.

Ji Lingyu was very quiet all the time, and only answered a few words when Ji Xuerong asked him, but she couldn't find out in a short time, and couldn't conclude that it was man-made, and soon they dispersed.

"The riding and archery for the past few days has been cancelled, and no more riding and shooting will be done before heading to Tathagata Temple." Ji Xuerong explained.

Nianqiao followed Ji Lingyu, and they returned to Qianque Palace. Ji Lingyu asked Ji Xuerong where he took him as usual.

He told the truth, when asked what Ji Xuerong had said to him, he only remembered a few words.

"The prince said that Shangshan can make peacock-shaped desserts..." Nianqiao held back for a long time, and only uttered this sentence.

"Anything else? Did he go to see anyone?" Ji Lingyu asked him.

Nianqiao thought of the tablet in Tongque Palace, just thinking about it made his back feel cold, he shook his head, a little ashamed, he didn't get any news from Ji Xuerong.

"Your Highness Seventh, why do you keep paying attention to the prince?" Nianqiao asked.

He was sitting next to Ji Lingyu. The Qianque Palace was sparsely populated all year round. There were puppet dolls on the table. The Seventh Prince of his family could also make dolls. The puppet dolls looked so cute.

At a glance, he recognized the first bright yellow one as the crown prince. He was holding the puppet doll and playing with the doll's little hands.

"Nianqiao, I will tell you this question later." Ji Lingyu said.

Nianqiao didn't take it seriously, he was monitoring Ji Xuerong now, but in fact he was a little happy, monitoring Ji Xuerong could go to the East Palace and help Ji Lingyu.

"Your Highness Seventh, can you give me this doll?" Nianqiao asked while holding the bright yellow doll.

There were several dolls on the table, the bright yellow one was the crown prince, and the crown prince was so delicately made that he immediately fell in love with it.

In the future, there will be the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Ninth Prince who are still young and look like children.

The last one is the Seventh Prince himself, the clothes on the Seventh Prince are a bit old and look dirty, Nian Qiao didn't choose it.

What's more, the Seventh Prince himself is here, how could he have the nerve to ask for the Seventh Prince's own doll.

Ji Lingyu's gaze paused slightly, and she said to him, "Yes."

"Your Highness Seventh is so kind." Nian Qiao happily went back with the puppet.

Nianqiao played with the puppet doll for a long time, and fell asleep with his arms in his arms. Before going to sleep, he vaguely heard the opening of the palace door. He took a look and found that the lights in the main hall were on.

Because of Xiao Yiyun's matter, Nianqiao was called to the East Palace for interrogation the next day.

Now it was approaching summer, and Nianqiao was wearing thin clothes. It was a long way for him to walk to the East Palace. On the way, he saw a lotus leaf by the pond. The lotus hadn't bloomed yet, so he picked a lotus leaf and used it to block the sun.

Covered by lotus leaves, the young man's skin was like snow. In his other hand, he was holding a willow leaf picked on the road. When he arrived at the East Palace with this appearance, he did not expect that there were other people in the East Palace.

The fifth prince, Ji Haochen, was also there.

Nianqiao behaved casually in front of Ji Xuerong, because Ji Xuerong never made fun of him, he dared not in front of outsiders, especially the fifth prince was threatening his family's seventh highness yesterday.

He gave the lotus leaves and wicker to Shangshan, tidied up his clothes, and knelt on the ground obediently to salute.

"Nianqiao, you came just in time. I have something to ask you. You followed the Seventh Prince yesterday. Did you see the Seventh Prince going to the stable for the second time? Did you see anyone else beside the Seventh Prince?"

Nianqiao gave Ji Xuerong a strange look, since Ji Xuerong asked the question, he was not so afraid.

Because he was with Ji Xuerong at that time.

"Your Highness, the slave was with you at the time, how did you know where the Seventh Highness went?"

And didn't the little eunuch say that?Why did he have to repeat it again.

Ji Xuerong looked a little helpless, and coughed slightly, "What I'm asking is after you go back."

"His Royal Highness Seven has not been to the stables since he went back. He has been shooting targets. I have picked up targets for him several times."

Nianqiao found that the fifth prince's gaze was still gloomy, he was a little scared, but the fifth prince didn't say anything, after Ji Xuerong asked a few more questions, the fifth prince left.

He felt that it was necessary to write down what Ji Xuerong said to him just now, so he took out the booklet he made and wrote down what Ji Xuerong said just now with bamboo charcoal.

Ji Xuerong's name was so difficult to write, and it took a long time to write the word "Ji" in Nianqiao. He remembered the puppet that Ji Lingyu gave him the day before, and he drew it according to the appearance of the puppet.

"Nianqiao, what are you doing?" Ji Xuerong saw the young man kneeling on the ground scribbling, he glanced slightly, and saw two round little people.

Nianqiao originally wanted to cover it up, but when he thought about it, he had to remember it often, and Ji Xuerong would find out sooner or later.

Why don't he take it out now and tell Ji Xuerong in advance.

"I'm remembering what Your Highness said to me just now." Nian Qiao said.

In fact, he didn't remember much later, and he was slow in writing.

Ji Xuerong asked him, "Why do you remember these things?"

Nian Qiao replied: "I often forget what Your Highness said to me. I made this booklet in class."

"Write it down so you won't be afraid to forget it."

"Oh?" Ji Xuerong raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned over and asked, "Can you show Gu."

On the Nian Bridge, pictures were used instead of words, and he didn't want to show it to Ji Xuerong, so he turned his back.

"No," Nian Qiao said, "Your Highness, why did the fifth prince come here?"

Ji Xuerong didn't force her, she replied: "Xiao Yiyun's jujube horse died in the stable this morning."

Nianqiao didn't understand these twists and turns, he felt sorry for the little pony for a second, and quickly remembered important things.

"Your Highness, does the Fifth Prince suspect His Highness the Seventh?"

Ji Xuerong hummed, "He doesn't know who the murderer is, but Xiao Yiyun met the Seventh Prince in the stable."

"Don't run around in these two days, and I will send someone to pick you up if I summon you later."

Is this a concern for his safety?Nianqiao became nervous when he heard the words, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and deliberately wrote down Ji Xuerong's words.

Can't run around.
