Be a man today too!

When this distance came, I didn't feel how far it was, it was only two miles, but now it seemed too long for Chi Yuan.

Although Chi Yuan has been careful enough for this month, and with Fulan and others' caring care, he has never triggered the disease of this body again, but Chi Yuan is also very aware of how troublesome his constitution is.

And the worst thing is that this place is no different than other places. It is in the inner garden of the deep palace, and there are a lot of maids behind it.

So Chi Yuan glanced at the prince. Although he wanted to speak, he couldn't say anything more. He could only secretly hope that his body could last a little longer, at least he had to finish this road.

Naturally, Ji Lingfeng could feel that the young man beside him was secretly looking at him again, which was not surprising. Ji Lingfeng remembered clearly how many times the other party looked at him at this banquet!

However, every time the young man looked at him like this, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a very sweet feeling in his heart. In addition, the two of them walked this road hand in hand, without being disturbed by others, only the strings of rings were crisp and leisurely. However, how wonderful.

But at this moment, the young man was looking at him like this, hesitant to speak, how could Ji Lingfeng not know the other party's intention?

In fact, Ji Lingfeng wanted to say a lot to the young man since just now, but when the two of them walked hand in hand like this, those sentimental feelings were in the apex of his heart, and his pulse was unspeakable.

However, the other party is different.

Ji Lingfeng doesn't know how to express this feeling. The bold and heroic style of the young man from the North is indeed very different from the subtle and graceful style of the Central Plains. Sometimes it makes people feel helpless and angry, but this time it makes people like tight...

Thinking of this, Ji Lingfeng's chest seemed to have a surge of heat, and his heartbeat was much more intense than usual. He just listened with bated breath, waiting for the other party to say something.

However, halfway through this journey, Ji Lingfeng still didn't hear a single word from the people around him, which made Ji Lingfeng a little disappointed, but he then understood that today is different from the past after all, the boy now knows his identity He is the prince of a country, so he must not dare to be as reckless as before...

But there is no other way, Ji Lingfeng can only suppress the disappointment in his heart, and at the same time hold the young man's hand tightly, hoping that he will understand that no matter what his identity is, he will not let him down. open!

During the distance the two walked, Chi Yuan's heart was also pounding, fearing that his illness would be triggered. Fortunately, the scarlet palace gate of the inner city was within sight.

And more than a dozen palace people guarding the gate of the palace also received the news just now, saying that the banquet is over.The banquet in the palace lasted for nearly four hours in total, and the gate guards had also changed a batch. At this time, they heard the news and knew that the nobles in the palace were about to come out, so they prepared to open the side door next to them.

There are three palace gates in the inner city. In addition to the main entrance in the center, there are two side gates on the side. They are closed on weekdays, and the same is true for today's banquet. In addition, the sedan chairs of various courtiers are parked outside the gate, and they also bring There are many servants of rough envoys, these servants of rough envoys are absolutely not allowed to enter the inner city of the palace, and closing the city gate is also to prevent any mistakes.

Seeing that the nobleman was about to arrive, the gatekeepers did not forget to take a look at the person who was coming when they opened the side door. When they changed shifts, they heard that among the noblemen who attended the banquet today, one of them was different from others. He is extremely handsome, not inferior to the few princes in the palace, and has a noble status. He is the son of the first-class king Juexiang North, so he is particularly eye-catching.

So these palace people also inquired around, and they all know the clothes of Prince Xiangbei's son. At this time, looking at the dazzling bright red, how can they not know who is coming?

so immediately hit

A palace man was sent to tell the king of Xiangbei to come forward and wait. It was time to pick up his master.

However, after looking at them, they still found some clues. They saw that there was a daunting color beside King Xiangbei.

In this dynasty, only the royal family and nobles can wear clothes with yellow as the background color, and these princes in the palace are all underage, so they still live in this palace, but today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, and the weather is so dark at this time It was too late, how could they have thought that there would be a prince coming out of the palace at this time?

And there is another reason that makes them very nervous, and that is because the rules in the palace are strict, and they are also very particular about where they go. Among these three doors, only two side doors are opened on weekdays, which can be used by palace people and officials. Passed, and it is the same today, even the ministers can only pass through the side door.

But when the emperor, the princes, the empress, the empress dowager, etc. passed through, the front door had to be opened, so when they saw a prince coming, all the palace people rushed to the front door again.

After more than a dozen palace people worked together to push open the red copper gate that weighed more than a thousand catties, they also saw someone coming. What was surprising was that the person walking with the Prince of Xiangbei at this time was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Because the emperor did not prohibit the princes from entering and exiting the palace city, His Highness the Crown Prince often went out with His Highness the Third Highness, but it was always during the day, never at such a late hour.

Could it be that it's so late, will His Royal Highness leave the palace?

These palace people were very surprised, but they didn't dare to express the slightest doubt in their hearts. Instead, they asked people to quickly notify the people brought by the prince of Xiangbei to welcome their master, and the rest of them all held their breaths and calmed down. , lower your head, how dare you take a second look?

At this time, there are thousands of people guarding the gate of the Inner Palace City. Except for the imperial guards, they are all bearers and rough envoys. It is a great grace to be able to enter the palace city once. After everyone is excited, looking at the magnificent palaces and the city walls with vermilion eaves and green tiles around them, I feel very novel. Some were bored, so they chatted in twos and threes around their sedan chairs.

This one is different from others.

I don't know which mansion's sedan chair it is, it is so gorgeous and beautiful, the silk and satin that are worth a thousand gold seems to be too large to fit in the mansion, they are used on this sedan chair at will, except that the top of the sedan chair is sealed with gold. Except for a layer of red paraffin wax to prevent rain and dust, the rest is made of fine silk that the nobles in Beijing used to cut clothes. There are also broken jade with nets hanging on the car curtain. It is really rich and noble!

If that's the case, it's fine, but these eight sedan chair bearers are different from others. They wear exactly the same black bunt. They are tall and tall. Although the lines of their faces are a bit rough, they are not scary. They give people a very powerful feeling. , and all of them stood beside them with muses and solemn expressions, not like ordinary servants, but like well-trained housekeepers.

During these two hours, except for the time of departure, these eight people never moved a step, but stood upright, neatly standing beside the sedan chair, very eye-catching.

This aroused people's curiosity, because the sedan chair had stopped by the palace gate early, so it was unknown which family in Beijing it was.

And the rest of the bearers who saw these eight people felt a little envious of who they followed, and also felt a little sour. They were just bearers, and their gestures were different from others...

In fact, what other people don't know is that these eight people were originally strong men carefully selected by the King of Xiangbei in the Northland. Having received a lot of training, he is naturally different from ordinary bearers.

Besides, when they came, they had been repeatedly instructed by Fulan, knowing how important today is, and the eldest son is going to enter the palace again, so they don't know what kind of hardships they will suffer, and how can they chat to relieve boredom, so they can only calm down and wait. When the master came out, his posture was even more straight these two hours, for fear of losing face to the prince.

At this time, I heard that the banquet in the palace was over, and the side doors on both sides were also opened.

Open, the eight people also breathed a sigh of relief, because the banquet was not as long as they imagined, it seems that the son will come out after a while, and I just hope that the son is safe and well.

But they never thought that Shizi would come out so soon...

At this time, after the gatekeeper came out from the side door, the porters waiting beside him raised their heads eagerly, only to hear the palace guard raise his voice and say: "Which one is His Royal Highness Prince Xiangbei? "

As soon as these words were said, countless people's eyes lit up. This Xiangbei Prince's son is quite famous in the public these days, and he is a first-class duke. Who has never been curious?

The leader of the eight quickly responded, and at this time the palace man didn't say much, and directly asked them to step forward to push down the sedan chair, because the son of Prince Xiangbei was about to come out of the palace.

But which palace gate should I wait for?

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the red copper door in the center, which meant that it was about to be opened. This red copper door has never been opened all day today. Why is it suddenly about to open at this time?

And the opening of the red copper door in the center, many people understand what it means, this is the real nobleman who wants to come out from here!

As soon as he heard the sound, the palace man didn't have time to explain to the eight people, but rushed to the door and asked what was going on.

And the imperial guards standing at the door clearly told the porters to stand up straight, and they must not talk too much at this time. These porters also understood in a blink of an eye. They did not expect their luck to be so good today. Meet the prince in the palace!

After a while, the red copper gate was half opened, and the previous palace servant came out again, and said solemnly, "His Royal Highness is here, His Royal Highness is here!"

After he finished speaking, he walked in front of the eight people at this time. The eight people were also very surprised. They did not expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come out with their master. They looked at each other and were about to ask where they were waiting. The palace man took a deep look at them and said, "Please wait here at the main entrance."

At this time, Chi Yuan saw that he was about to reach the palace gate, and he was relieved. Fortunately, there was no problem just now, and then he just walked to the sedan chair, because Chi Yuan had brought a hand stove before and put it on. Inside, this hand stove was made by skilled craftsmen in Beijing. After each heating, it can be kept for half a day to keep the temperature unchanged. In addition, there are warm cushions in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair bottom is also made of thick cloth. , so don't worry about anything.

Next, he should let go of the prince holding his hand, after all, it was time for the two to part.

At this moment, the palace gate had been opened by the palace man, and a bit of cold air came in from the outside. For some reason, Chi Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and within a short while, The gap gradually widened, like a backflowing air vent, and the chill that was blocked by the entire two-foot-high city wall found this opening in a blink of an eye, and suddenly came face to face.

Chi Yuan wanted to let go of that warm hand at first, but now he couldn't help but squeeze him a little tighter. Fortunately, at this time, he also saw his sedan chair parked outside the palace gate.

Ji Lingfeng was suddenly held so tightly by the young man, how could he not know that this was the meaning of the young man's reluctance to bear him?

In fact, he also felt that the time the two spent together was too short, there was no time to recollect the walk, and it was over in a blink of an eye. He did not expect the young man to feel the same way.

Ji Lingfeng originally intended to send the boy home, and he had someone prepare the sedan chair just now, and it will arrive in a while, but now he is reluctant to let go, and only wants to hold on to him for a long time, forever and ever.

At this time, the eight people waiting outside the palace gate also lowered their heads together with everyone else, but they were tall and could see farther than others, so they could be judged from the clothes worn by the oncoming people.

And the person in front is Shizi!

But what is surprising is that Shizi also walked with a person in bright yellow clothes...

How is this going?

Could it be that there was a turbulent wave in the hearts of the eight people at this time, from what the palace man said just now, they also

Knowing the identity of this person, this person is the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But how could the crown prince be so friendly with the crown prince?

A few people really couldn't hold back, so they quietly raised their heads to take a look, but they didn't want this look to feel so familiar. They have all seen this His Royal Highness, and more than once!

At this time, Chi Yuan only felt the chill for a moment, like an indestructible knife and gun, infecting his entire body in a blink of an eye, and the bones all over his body felt that icy chill.

Chi Yuan almost trembled his teeth, but at least he held it back, and he has achieved some results in his training these days. Although his legs and feet were a little weak, he still stood firm.

What's more, seeing his sedan chair close in front of him, Chi Yuan took a deep breath in his heart, he must finish this road, and he must not make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

However, every step Chi Yuan took after that was extremely difficult. His legs and feet were losing strength little by little. It seemed that after standing for a day, his blood stagnated and his muscles and bones were numb. He didn't feel much at first, but Once I made some moves, I realized that my body was already out of order.

This is the case of Chi Yuan. Now he is walking forward entirely on his legs that are still somewhat conscious. As for whether his feet are firmly on the ground and how he steps, he relies entirely on his muscle memory. I don't know anything.

Of course, it is not only the breath in his heart that is supporting him to move forward at this time, but also the hand he is holding. At some point, the prince seems to have noticed something abnormal in his body, and this hand is used a little more than before. Strength, holding him tightly and never letting go.

Chi Yuan held the other party's firm hand like gold and stone. Although his body was cold, there was a warmth in his heart that was hard to ignore.

And every time he takes a step, his body loses a little more strength, but the hand he holds is like driftwood in a surging river, pulling his body like a weed at the moment to move forward, which also makes him move forward. In this situation, Chi Yuan didn't feel flustered or at a loss, but calmed down a lot.

Finally, Chi Yuan was about to walk in front of the sedan chair. At this time, the sedan chair had been pushed down by eight porters, and only he was waiting to get on the sedan chair. However, Chi Yuan realized that he had neglected the most critical point.

That is, there is a sedan chair in front of the sedan chair. Although the sedan chair driver has tried his best to push down the sedan chair pole as far as possible at this time, because the sedan chair body is already a bit wide, it is not like the small sedan chair carried by two people. It is very low, so the sedan chair pole seems to be almost as high as the calf.

In normal times, this height would not be a problem at all, but at this time, Chi Yuan's legs and feet are almost numb. How difficult is it to step his legs over such a high sedan chair pole?

Seeing that he was only one meter away from the sedan chair pole at this time, Chi Yuan still didn't come up with a good solution, but for some reason, he was still able to maintain one of the few calmness, thinking that he would try it later. Late.

Finally, after taking a few steps with great effort, Chi Yuan also reached the sedan chair pole, which was also the last hurdle.

But at this moment, the sedan chair pole that was as high as the calf looked like a high wall in front of him, not to mention the legs, even the strength of the legs was about to be completely lost, so Chi Yuan could only take advantage of it. At the last moment of consciousness, he quickly raised his legs and stepped over.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he felt that familiar feeling again. At this moment, his body began to slide down. However, before the sense of confusion of turning the world upside down, he was grabbed by the waist and wrapped around his arms. He hugged his legs carefully in his arms, and then the other party stepped over the sedan chair pole that made Chi Yuan very embarrassed.

Because the car curtain had already been lifted by someone at this time, the prince walked in almost without a pause, and then gently placed him on the soft bed in the car.

At this time, his body was lying on the soft leather, Chi Yuan's mind relaxed, and he finally exhaled a long breath. He was really nervous just now. Although the surrounding palace people all lowered their heads, except for his own people, No one else saw this scene, but it was inevitable that Chi Yuan's heartbeat would speed up, and because of this, his face was a little crimson.

Fortunately, this time there is also the prince, so it can be so smooth,

After Chi Yuan turned around, his heart couldn't help but move. It was a very lucky thing to be able to make friends with someone like the other party. At this moment, he raised his face slightly, looked at the other party, and wanted to say something.

The prince also looked at him deeply, and then his Adam's apple moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak immediately, but straightened up first, let go of the hand holding him, and then stepped forward He took a step forward and took down the car curtain first.
