Master Si ran into Ji Wanghuai when he was returning from the next court.

Although he was old, his memory was surprisingly good, and he recognized him as a prince from Qi Kingdom just by looking at him.

If I had known that I would have visited these guests in the side room last night and explained everything clearly, otherwise Prince Qiguo would come and go in and out of the Sifu so casually, and it would not be very good if it got out.

"This..." Lord Si didn't know how to speak, but seeing Ji Wanghuai skillfully put on his hood, he felt a little more relaxed. Fortunately, Prince Qiguo is a sensible person.

"Thank you, Master Si, for your hospitality." Ji Wanghuai bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "If Ji is needed in the future, Ji will do his best."

Master Si frowned and glanced at Ji Wanghuai and then at Si He.

He still knew Si He's temperament.Although this child looks idle, but his heart is not bad, and he will not do anything to be sorry for Chengguo or the ancestors of the Si family.

"Father, let me see Young Master Ji off. You still have business to do." Si He wanted to send his father away, Master Si was stunned, and soon realized that his son wanted to drive him away.

"Okay, then give this Young Master Ji a treat." About why this Prince Qiguo knew Si He, and why the two became acquainted.Master Si weighed it up, and decided to interrogate Si He in detail later.

……

As soon as Master Si left, Si He asked, "Have you packed everything?"

"Yeah." Ji Wanghuai nodded and said, "I didn't bring much luggage, just a few brands, a few bags of broken silver and two sabers."

"Who asked you this?" Si He was a little amused, "Have you got the dough I gave you last night?"

"Naturally." Ji Wanghuai also smiled, "Yu Jiang is well put away, it won't fall down. But you, have the wounds healed completely?"

"Yes," Si He happily prepared to untie his clothes to show him the wound, when he suddenly remembered that this was at the gate of the Si Mansion, and there was still something wrong in broad daylight, "It's all thanks to Xiao Lushui, I saw him bleed quite a lot It’s embarrassing to use my blood as an introduction.”

"Then you can just entertain him," Ji Wanghuai smiled and suggested to him, "He will still be a little beggar when he returns to Luojia Village, why don't you accept him as a servant, anyway, don't let others snatch him away. "

Si He thought about it and thought it was a good idea, but he still had to go back and ask Xiao Lushui what he meant.

"How are you going to get out of the city gate?" Seeing that the atmosphere had quietened down again, Si He asked again.

"This is not the first time I have come to Chengguo," Ji Wanghuai didn't know why Si He was a little abnormal today, he just thought that he had been lying down for a few days and no one chatted with him, and wanted to talk more, "I have something with Yu Jiang Special official documents will not be produced unless absolutely necessary."

It turned out to be the case.

There was another moment of silence.

Si He scratched his head, and suddenly said: "That's right, that's right! You take this—" He turned up his cuffs for a long time before taking out a piece of warm jade from his bosom, "This was rewarded by the emperor yesterday, my mother said This is a good thing, you can wear it with you to keep out the cold, why don't you keep it?"

Ever since Ji Wanghuai grew up, those people in the palace who tried to please him in different ways never gave him anything to dispel cold and poison, even though this piece of warm jade was inferior compared to the jade beside his pillow, But still very expensive.

Si He can completely keep it by himself, this is a gift from Emperor Jing himself, and it is priceless.

Ji Wanghuai looked down at the jade in the palm of his hand, his whole body was white and flawless, exuding an indescribable warmth.

"Okay." He nodded with a smile, and the joy in Si He's eyes did not escape his eyes.

Yu Jiang was about to go forward to take the jade pendant, but seeing Ji Wanghuai put it directly into his arms, he didn't go up or back, a little embarrassed.

"Then...then I'll see you later." Si He pondered for a while, and seemed to have nothing more to say.

"Farewell." After saluting, Ji Wanghuai got on his horse gracefully, his hair still untied, calm and elegant.

Seeing Ji Wanghuai like this, Si He couldn't help comparing him with Lu Yu, and suddenly remembered Ji Wanghuai's saying last night that he had a face-to-face meeting with Lu Yu at the night market.

"Ji Wanghuai—" he suddenly shouted.Fortunately, the gate of the Sifu is in an alley, and there are not many people at the gate on weekdays.

Ji Wanghuai had already walked a few steps at this time, but he stopped and turned around when he heard the words, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Si He opened his mouth, wanting to ask if one day the two countries went to war, would he attack Chengguo?

But he didn't dare to ask, and couldn't ask.

"It's all right, have a good trip."

……

There was dead silence in the study, and after a long while, Master Si wondered: "You and the second prince really got to know each other because of martial arts?"

"Can this be false?" Si He lied and never drew a draft: "The master of the second prince is the elder brother of Granny Yaotai, and I met him later to learn kung fu."

"Then your injury—" Master Si looked at him suspiciously, "is it also the miracle doctor brought by the second prince?"

"That's true," Si He didn't lie about this, "He heard the news, and brought a little genius doctor from Qiguo. Look, father, my wounds are all healed, but it still hurts a little."

Mr. Si didn't know what to say, was he saying that he was blessed with a good life, or that he was no matter what the occasion was.

"Forget it, you go down." Master Si waved his hand, he has always had a headache for this youngest son, "By the way, you are from Qiguo, there are some things you should say or not, and some things you should do or not. It’s better to have a count in your heart.”

"Son understands." Si He smiled wryly in his heart, how could he not understand.

……

A few days later, an imperial decree came down, which made Sifu dizzy.

"... Si Lu, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has a dignified disposition, and is virtuous and courteous. She is in her boudoir..."

As soon as Si He woke up, he was dragged out by his mother in a daze. His mind was wandering, and he only heard the last few words—"...Decreed to be the crown princess, to choose an auspicious day for the wedding..."

Who gets married! ?

Si He woke up more than half of his doze, and saw everyone smiling and congratulating Si Lu. Seeing Si Lu's cheeks flushed, he realized—it turned out that Sister Lu was given a marriage!

At the moment, he couldn't tell what his mood was, but when he thought that Si Lu would live in the East Palace forever, and he wouldn't see each other several times a year, and no one would smile and embroider him with little tigers to amuse him, he suddenly felt a little shy, and mentioned I'm sorry.

"He'er, what expression do you have?" Si Yan bumped him with his elbow, "Sister Lu will be the princess in the future! If the crown prince ascends the throne, she will be the empress. Why aren't you happy for Sister Lu?"

Si He opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

However, Mrs. Si also had a worried expression on her face, "In the future, the East Palace will not be as close as our family. If you are wronged, you can go back to Si's mansion, and your mother's family will support you."

"Ma'am—" Mrs. Si stomped her feet, and said helplessly, "Don't scare Lu'er! She is married to the crown prince, the future heir apparent! What can we do to help her out? It's important to be cautious in everything. Only on her own."

Si He saw that some people in the family were happy and others were worried, and the breath of the prison in his memory came over his face again.

This is the royal family, this is the palace.

He had to find a way to do something for Sister Lu, even if it was insignificant, he couldn't let Sister Lu go alone into the unfathomable abyss.

……

"Little Lushui, come here." Si He beckoned, and Xiao Lushui, who was teasing the bird, obediently came over, "Brother Xiaohe."

"Come on, try it." Si He patiently explained, "You pour the blood from this bottle on this scroll, and then cover it with your hand, to see if you can draw out the yellow warbler in this scroll."

Beside his hand is a finger-high celadon vial filled with a small half of his blood. He wants to try if others use his own blood to draw these paintings, can they succeed.

"Okay!" Xiao Lushui obeyed obediently, but a quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement from the picture scroll.

"It doesn't seem to work." Xiao Lushui shook her head, "I didn't feel that anything was about to come out."

"It's okay." Si He bit the penholder, falling into deep thought.

Sure enough... still not working.

"He'er—what are you doing?" A voice came from behind Leng Buding, which startled Si He a lot.

"I'm...painting..." Si He chuckled to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Si Yan didn't have so much thoughtfulness, "Emperor Jing sent father-in-law to invite you, Sister Lu and Mother to enter the palace together."

"Me?" Si He pointed to himself, obviously feeling puzzled, "Why me?"

Si Lu and Niang must have entered the palace for the purpose of bestowing a marriage, but what does it have to do with him.

"Maybe it's because you saved His Majesty's life before?"

……Yeah?
