"You call me Qingqing, then I'll call you Xiaoyi?"
Qi Chengyi's forehead twitched slightly and he was silent for a moment: "Why Xiaoyi?"
"I remember the year the Eighth Prince was born, he was one year younger than me."
"That's it..." Qi Chengyi's eyes were deep, as if mixed with fog that could not be seen clearly, "It seems to be true. But can you not add small words, you can also call me Chengyi."
"Brother Chengyi." Fu Yunqing cupped his fists.
"..."
Qi Chengyi's smile froze without trace: "It turns out that when Qingqing discussed Chengyi or Xiaoyi with me, you wanted to discuss brothers with me."
"What else? Your Highness still wants to discuss sisters with me? It's not good to confuse the prince's gender. I don't dare to do this." Fu Yunqing said seriously.
Qi Chengyi seemed to have choked on a stone and nodded: "You...make sense."
While the two were talking, He Chunru, who had picked a large frame of red plums, came up with a smile and lifted her skirt. When she saw Qi Chengyi, she ignored him and said to Fuyunqing: "Qingqing, you see I picked a lot of wintersweets. Let’s drink plum wine together.”
"Why does she also call you Qingqing?" Qi Chengyi asked.
"I like to call her Qingqing, but what does it have to do with the Eighth Prince? The Eighth Prince and the eldest princess have already left, so why are you still here?"
He Chunru stood in front of Fu Yunqing, with sharp eyes, and said with great dissatisfaction, "What is it called? Is it possible that you also call her Qingqing? How many books have you read in the Four Books and Five Classics? As long as you know some etiquette, justice and integrity, you shouldn't It’s such a sweet shout!”
A hint of forbearing murderous intent flashed in Qi Chengyi's eyes.
Just like the look in Yiye's eyes when he killed the field mouse.
It's just that others couldn't clearly see the murderous intention, and only thought that he had a cold look on his face.
"Aru, you may be mistaken. He calls me Qingqing because he regards me as a brother. Just like me, I also regard him as a friend, so I call him Brother Chengyi." After Fuyunqing explained, he added, "Silly Ruru, plum wine needs to be made from green plums, not plum blossoms."
"Alright alright."
He Chunru stood in front of Fu Yunqing and looked at Qi Chengyi with a bad attitude, as if giving a silent warning.
"Your Highness, my friend has no intention of offending you, so please don't take it personally."
"Okay." Qi Chengyi nodded.
At this moment, Shen Huaixu winked at him anxiously from the other side.
Qi Chengyi glanced at He Chunru, then looked at Fu Yunqing: "I still have business to attend to, so I will leave today and see you at the palace tomorrow."
After Qi Chengyi left, He Chunru said: "Qingqing, I do it for your own good. When you choose a husband, you must choose a high-quality potential husband with good abilities, good family background, and good conditions. You must not choose a prince who was born an abandoned son in a cold palace. He has neither He is backed by his mother's family, has no money and no power, and is not good in everything. Let's stay away from him."
He Chunru was the appointed crown prince. In her eyes, Qi Chengyi could never become the crown prince.
Fu Yunqing knew that He Chunru was doing it for her own good, but...
She held He Chunru's hand and explained patiently: "I'm not in the mood for love. His Eighth Prince and I are just friends. Aru, actually His Eighth Prince is not as weak as you think. I thought he was weak in the past, until later... I won't mention it. No matter what, he will definitely make a difference in the future."
"Is that why you like him?" He Chunru asked.
"It's just my intuition."
"Forget it, let's not mention him! I'm so bored these days, you don't even know how to play with me. I've been waiting at home for a long time before your greetings came today. Please tell me, do you have another little sister? Just forget about me?"
He Chunru put her hands on her hips and looked like you are about to coax me.
Fu Yunqing was slightly surprised.
Since Aru lost her memory after falling into the water, her temperament has changed, from quiet to cheerful, from elegant to cheerful, but as long as she is happy, that's fine.
"How can I forget about you? I am really busy with family affairs these days." Fu Yunqing coaxed with a smile, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to study with you. As the appointed Crown Princess, you will also go to the palace to study with the eldest princess, right? ?”
"Yes. We can see each other often in the palace then."
"..."
The two held hands and chatted in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Fu Yunqing invited He Chunru to have dinner at Zuixiangju.
Only then did he return to Fufu.
When Fu Ge learned that Fu Yunqing was going to the palace to accompany her to study, he was really happy and sad. While packing her clothes, he said:
"Everyone in the palace is a high-ranking person. If you make a mistake, you may be in danger. Sister, after you enter the palace, you must be careful about everything."
"I'm so worried about you, why don't we go?"
Fu Yunqing rubbed Fu Ge's bun: "The eldest princess has asked me to go. Don't worry, I will write to you when I go to the palace."
Fuzi came with a cane. Now, under the careful care of Lin Yuezhou, he can abandon his wheelchair and walk independently with a cane:
"Sister, Doctor Lin said that my legs will be healed soon and my exams in the spring will not be delayed. When I win the laurels and get an official status, sister will not have to work so hard."
"Don't be too tired." Fu Yunqing looked at his hands covered with blood blisters and thick calluses.
She knew that Fu Ziheng had been studying and practicing hard these days.
Ziheng has always been a handsome young man from Zhilan Yushu, with a dignified appearance, but these days have been too hard for him to care about improving his appearance.
His thin chin was covered with a lot of messy stubble.
In fact, Fu Yunqing knew that his younger brother did not like martial arts and preferred to read and write. On the contrary, she liked to wield swords and guns.
But since their father died, both siblings seemed to be forcing themselves to grow up quickly.
"Although our general's palace is not as glorious as before, we cannot tolerate bullying. If my sister is bullied in the palace, you must tell me. Even if I risk my life, I will protect my sister!"
When Fu Ziheng said this, there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, which had always been gentle and gentle.
Fu Yunqing was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Okay. I will tell you when I am bullied. Ziheng has grown up."
The night before Fu Yunqing entered the palace, the Xuezhiyuan was very lively.
Fu Ge and Fu Ziheng are both here, chatting with Fu Yunqing.
It was as if she had to go through the ordeal of life and death as soon as she entered the palace.
…
Jin'an Palace.
Today, dark clouds cover the moon, and in the cold darkness, Qi Chengyi blows a fire stick and lights a lamp.
Lin Yuezhou, who was dressed in night clothes, pulled off the black cloth covering his face and said, "My lord, do you want me to stay in the general's residence?"
"Is Fu Ziheng's leg healed?"
"He's recovering." Lin Yuezhou replied.
Qi Chengyi nodded and said: "It will be completely cured and there will be no sequelae."
Lin Yuezhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Because Zi Heng is Miss Fu's younger brother, is that why the Lord takes such good care of him?"
"Talk too much." Qi Chengyi glanced at him coldly.
Lin Yuezhou shut up immediately, his eyes still full of teasing, and he glanced around Qi Chengyi, making Qi Chengyi feel quite uncomfortable.
Qi Chengyi said: "When I assumed Qi Chengyi's identity, I made a deal with Qi Chengyi. By borrowing his identity, I would rehabilitate his mother's clan. I came to Qi State for the purpose of the jade seal, and using Fuyun Qing was also part of the plan. That is to say, use, always Can’t lose her.”
"Can't we lose her?" Lin Yuezhou clicked his tongue, "In the past, when the master treated the chess pieces, he discarded them when they were used up and killed them when they were used up. But he would not be so precious, fragrant, pity, and jade..."
"If you say one more word, get out of Jin'an Palace and receive your punishment." Qi Chengyi said, "After curing Fu Ziheng, he sneaked into the palace to work as an imperial physician."
"Yes." Lin Yuezhou knew that he had violated his bottom line, so he immediately acted honestly and with a serious face.
