21【21】(1/2)
Ji Liang is the best friend of Song Jinglan’s uncle Rong Heng, and the world’s number one swordsman.
When Song Jinglan was chosen as a proton and sent to Dalin Dynasty, the Rong family was worried about the future of the Rong family, and only Rong Heng was worried about the safety of his nephew.
So he bowed to Cangsong Mountain with one hand and asked Ji Liang to come out of seclusion to protect Song Jinglan.
He said he was a good friend, but in fact, the relationship between the two was not deep. It was just that Ji Liang was plotted against when he was young and was rescued by Rong Heng. The swordsman Chongyi owed Rong Heng a life and had to pay it back no matter what.
Since he left the pass and went down the mountain five years ago, he has been secretly following Song Jinglan to protect him.
Although it was the Dalin Palace, his martial arts attainments had already reached the realm of enlightenment. There were few people in the world who were his opponents. It was like entering and leaving the royal city. If Song Jinglan had not been harmed by someone a few years ago and fell into a deep well, Ji Liang would have to show up to save him, I am afraid that even Song Jinglan would not have noticed his existence.
However, since that day, Song Jinglan has begun to practice martial arts with him.
Ji Liang had no intention of accepting disciples, but seeing that he was amazing in talent, he was willing to show up at night to give some advice. As he appeared more often, Song Jinglan's name for him changed from "Hero Ji" to "Mr. Ji" at the beginning, and later became "Uncle Ji". Ji Liang didn't think anything was wrong.
He practiced martial arts all his life, like a sword fool, without a wife or a child. Song Jinglan called him like this, and he was actually quite happy.
So later, Song Jinglan asked him to eavesdrop on the corners of the palace as if nothing had happened. As Ji Liang, who praised a generation of swordsmanship in the world, seemed to think something was wrong?
Even a habit?
The previous month was the master's day of worship. He returned to Cangsong Mountain to worship. He has only returned for two months since he left. As soon as he came back, he consciously went to Zhaoyang Palace to listen to the corner of the wall.
Habits are such a terrible thing!
Tiandong boiled the hot water, and when he entered the house, he was shocked to see a figure beside the wall. When he reacted, he immediately said in surprise: "Mr. Ji, are you back?"
When His Highness first came to Dalin for two years, he was in danger several times and was in danger. Later, he realized that it was Mr. Ji who secretly helped him. With Mr. Ji here, he felt at ease. Mr. Ji was not here for the past two months, and God knew how worried he was.
Ji Liang nodded slightly, his face was cold, and the cold sword in his arms was particularly inhumane.
But Tiandong knew that Mr. Ji was so cold that he didn't care. He laughed foolishly for a while and ran out to cook hot tea for Mr. Ji. When he came back, he heard his highness ask, "What's wrong with Uncle Ji hearing about Zhaoyang Palace?"
Because the third princess Lin Xi always makes trouble for Song Jinglan, Zhaoyang Palace is also a key object to observe in Ji Liang's eyes.
Tian Dong immediately pricked up his ears and looked serious, but he heard Ji Liang say, "It has nothing to do with you."
Lin Xi hasn't come to cause trouble for Your Highness for a while. Since it has nothing to do with Your Highness, it's not their business.
Song Jinglan frowned, and for some reason he thought of Ji Liang, "Is it Mingyue Palace?"
Ji Liang was a little surprised, but his surprised expression was also very light. He was not a person who knew him, so he could not see any change in his expression. "Yes."
Tian Dong said in surprise: "Fifth Princess? They want to deal with the fifth princess?"
Ji Liang glanced at him: "Fifth Princess?"
Tian Dong said enthusiastically: "Mr. Ji, you don't know. In the past two months after you left, another princess fell in love with my highness!"
Ji Liang: "?"
Song Jinglan: "?"
Tian Dong still didn't know and continued to explain enthusiastically: "This fifth princess is different from the third princess. She is a very good person. Look, the silver carbon burned in this house was sent by her. She also gave our highness a snack and hand cream. By the way, Mr. Ji, you don't know what hand cream is, it's..."
Song Jinglan had to interrupt him with a voice: "Shen Dong."
Tian Dong shut up now.
Song Jinglan turned his head and looked at Ji Liang and asked in a warm voice: "Uncle Ji, what are they planning to do?"
Ji Liang had no expression on his face, and he reposted all the things he heard.
Song Jinglan's expression was still shallow, but Tian Dong was stunned by the hearing. When Ji Liang finished speaking, he couldn't help but curse: "Is this too vicious, right?!"
Song Jinglan thought something, Ji Liang looked at him for a while and asked, "Do you want to help her?"
Song Jinglan didn't say anything, but just smiled lightly, Ji Liang shook his head: "This is not like you."
Song Jinglan leaned over and picked up the tongs, clamped the silver carbon in the stove, making it burn more vigorously. After finishing, he reached out to bake the carbon stove. The cracked holes in his hands had healed a lot, and when they were roasted by the stove, a faint fragrance of white plum blossoms was melted.
He looked up and asked, "Uncle Ji, is it warm?"
Ji Liang nodded.
Song Jinglan glanced at the light and dark Mars and smiled: "I also feel very warm."
...
Lin Feilu woke up from her sleep.
Someone smashed her window.
Bang, bang, bang, it was like a stone hitting the window frame. At first she thought she was dreaming, but when she opened her eyes, she was stunned for a while. The room was dark and she couldn't see her fingers, but only the sound of the stone smashing the window became clearer and louder by the window.
She turned over and sat up. She subconsciously wanted to call someone, but for some reason, she stopped talking to her mouth again.
She got out of bed and put on her shoes, and went to open the window in the dark. When she walked to the window, the sound suddenly stopped. When she pulled the pill and pushed it open, a stone flew in from her ear and landed in the house. She also bounced a few times when she landed on the ground.
There was a cold moon outside the window, and the dead branches were cast like silhouettes in the night sky. The thin snow drifted in with the wind, making her shiver.
She saw nothing, and the sound did not sound again. She turned around and saw the stones falling on the ground with a ray of clear moon.
Lin Feilu quietly closed the window, walked over and picked up the stone. A layer of white cloth was wrapped around the stone. She took off the white cloth, but instead of holding the light, she walked to the side of the fire, and saw the words on it clearly through the fire.
The light was too dark and not very good-looking, and the handwriting was also crooked. It took her a lot of effort to finish reading it.
The night was silent, only a carbon furnace splashed with sparks, shattering in the wind outside the window. After Lin Feilu finished looking at it, he slowly pinched the white cloth in his palm, picked up the stone, walked to the window and opened it to look.
There is still nothing outside.
She asked in a stingy voice, "Hey, can you hear it?"
The only answers to her is Fengxue.
She looked at the fog in the night, and regardless of whether anyone could hear it, she whispered: "Thank you."
Lin Feilu threw the stone out, then closed the window, walked to the stove and threw the white cloth full of handwriting in. The flames licked up, and the white cloth quickly burned, and a flame burst into the air, reflecting into her quiet pupils.
The next day, Lin Feilu was still asleep. Hearing Yun You who was cleaning the courtyard outside, he said in surprise: "Where are so many small stones outside the window?"
Qingyan said, "Don't be a mouse? Hey, don't use your hands, be careful, quickly, sweep this pickled thing."
Lin Feilu turned over in the quilt.
In the afternoon, the brocade workshop sent a lot of new winter clothes, all of which were changed by Lin Nianzhi before. Since it was made for the eldest princess at the beginning, the brocade patterns and patterns were of course the best. Now, it has been changed to the fifth princess, and everything is still not in the ordinary.
The snow fox fur that Lin Nianzhi gave her was also made into a cloak and delivered it together.
The cloak was made of bright red material and embroidered with a few plum blossoms. The fur of the snow fox was white and soft, pure without any impurities, and made into a collar and brim, which was warm and beautiful.
Xiao Lan liked it so much that she quickly asked Lin Feilu to try it on. Her skin was white and she looked particularly beautiful in red. When she walked in the snow in a red cloak, the snow scenes all over the sky seemed to be a foil.
Yun You couldn't help but say, "The little princess is so beautiful. She wears this cloak for the whole year banquet?"
Xiao Lan was still smiling at first, but when she heard this, she fainted and said softly: "It's not easy to show off."
Yun You was shocked and then said, "What the Empress said is."
The annual banquet clothing prepared by Xiao Lan for herself and Lin Feilu was very simple and elegant, and was mainly blue and white. It was neither elegant nor eye-catching. She was useless to the jewelry and jewelry that Concubine Xian praised, and was even halfway left by Lin Feilu.
Xiao Lan didn't ask her what she wanted to do. Her daughter is now her backbone.
The annual banquet is a banquet for concubines in the harem. The queen worships Buddha and holds such a banquet a year, so it is naturally a grand and grand ceremony. Not only are concubines performing their skills, but fireworks are also arranged. Fireworks are not common these days. It is already very amazing to be able to reach the sky without mentioning the shape and color.
Lin Nianzhi loved these things, and when he said that, Lin Feilu was very supportive: "So amazing! I want to see it!"
Lin Nianzhi was as proud as the fireworks made by her: "When the banquet ends, everyone will go to Tianxingyuan to enjoy the fireworks. Then you will follow me and we will stand in the best position!"
Lin Feilu nodded repeatedly.
Soon it will be the annual banquet, the last day of the year.
The invited concubines from all palaces came to the appointment on time. Lin Feilu led Xiao Lan into the banquet hall step by step, with curiosity and joy as a girl of this age on her face.
The positions of each palace are ranked according to the position. Xiao Lan is almost the lowest among all the invited concubines. After all, there is only one lady after her. Emperor Lin has been worried about state affairs in the past two years and has not selected any more beauties, so there is no newcomer to be favored. Anyone who was favored in the past has been promoted, and no matter how bad she is, she is still a talented person.
So Xiao Lan's banquet table is close to the door. The banquet hall is large and divided into two rows on the left and right. The top is the emperor and the queen. Lin Feilu has good eyesight and can't see anyone when she sits at the table.
Even the concubine's position could not be seen, let alone going up.
She also wanted to observe the charm of the two concubines and the very awesome emperors up close, but she couldn't see anything.
Looking up, I saw that my head was covered with jewelry and flowers.
This is the case with flowers competing for beauty.
How could the emperor have so many women? This is just favored, can he sleep?
Three bells rang, and the annual banquet officially began. Not to mention that no one could see it, Lin Feilu didn't hear clearly what the queen said in front of him. The wind was strong and it was blowing. After all, the emperor and the queen still paid attention to demeanor and could not yell at the top of their voices.
Xiao Lan did not seem nervous when she attended a state banquet of this size for the first time. She stood up when others got up, and she toasted her. After the final ceremony, she lowered her head and ate quietly without saying a word, and picked up food for Lin Feilu.
The concubines next to her knew that she was not favored and were qualified to go to the hall because of Concubine Xian, and did not take the initiative to chat. However, she was a little curious about the fifth princess beside her and looked at her more.
Both the mother and daughter dressed up in a simple manner, but they could not hide their natural beauty at all. Especially the fifth princess, who is only five years old, is so delicate and cute. If His Majesty saw it, he might like it very much.
No.
The sour concubines in their hearts denied it in a flash. When they saw her, they would think of that fool. That was a thorn in His Majesty's heart. Otherwise, with Xiao Lan's beauty, how could it be?
Thinking of this, the concubines' envious eyes were taken back bored.
The dancer soon went to the hall to perform, and he sang and laughed in a silence during the meal.
