Wishful Things

Although he also knew that such a good thing could not be settled by a single bracelet, but just looking at her wearing it, he also felt that it was very pleasing to the eye.

Xu Mingyi nodded - speaking of it, she has a lot of dowry things from the elders of Wu Chao's family. Before that, it was a pair of hairpins from the Empress Dowager, and today it is a bracelet from the Empress Dowager.

"By the way, didn't you go back earlier?" She turned to Wu Chao and asked.

After the accident in the mausoleum, he arrived very quickly, and he was still wearing the same robe that he had given her meals.

Wu Chao didn't deny it: "Stayed outside the temple for a while."

Although Xiao Wu and the others were there, he was somewhat worried about letting her be alone in this royal mausoleum without Ah Zhu by her side. Thinking that summer nights are not too cold, and it is only two hours before dawn, I plan to stay outside the temple until dawn before leaving.

Who knew something would happen so quickly.

"It doesn't have to be like this next time." Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "If I need you to guard me, I will tell you directly."

Wu Chao nodded in agreement on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Just like raising a daughter, you must be cautious. There are many things that adults don't have to do if the child says they don't need them.

"It's different from you, the princess is still waiting for me." Xu Mingyi poked his head out and glanced at his friend who was waiting there, and said, "You also go back and rest earlier, so that you can deal with what may happen next. matter."

"Okay, you have a good sleep, you don't have to get up early tomorrow."

"That's what I mean." The girl said to him briskly, "I'm leaving."

Wu Chao nodded and watched her go to Princess Yufeng's side before he stepped out from behind the plantain grove.

"How many times a day do we have to see each other... I came out this time to cover you two?"

Princess Yufeng gently twisted his friend's arm, with a sour tone.

"Walking."

Xu Mingyi pushed her hand away and reminded her in a low voice.

Princess Yufeng took her hand back, but still didn't stop talking: "If you two really get married in the future, then I will be a matchmaker, and I will have to ask Wu Haoyang for a reward..."

Facing this kind of topic, Xu Mingyi didn't have the shyness that a girl should have, but said seriously: "There is no need for him, I will personally wrap a ten-thousand tael red envelope for you as a token of my gratitude."

"...Why do I feel so guilty all of a sudden, as if I'm helping you cheat the handsome young man."

Seeing someone coming from outside the temple gate ahead, Xu Mingyi gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, signaling her friend to calm down.

At this time, everyone left the mausoleum temple and went back to the palace, but these few people were going to enter the temple, and they were dressed as ordinary servants, so there was no doubt that there was something strange about it, so Xu Mingyi paid more attention to it.

"Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the mausoleum again."

The guards standing outside the temple stopped him.

"Brother guard, we are here to look for my lord." A servant in front said politely: "Since we can't enter, then we'll just wait here."

Hearing his tone was pleasing to the ear, the guard asked one more question: "Which adult are you looking for?"

"Our master is Ji Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

"Ji Shangshu?" The guard said without hesitation: "The man has left just now, didn't you see it when you came?"

"My adults have already left?"

"That's what happened just now. I walked with a young adult."

The servant hurriedly thanked him.

Perhaps because of the darkness of the night, and the fact that the master was wearing ordinary clothes, they couldn't see clearly for a while.

Seeing that the three servants were about to turn around and leave, Xu Mingyi recognized Ji Wanyou who was among them at a glance.

Ji Wanyou also saw her.

"..." The four eyes met for a moment, and the two who sneaked in pretending to be servants looked at each other, but neither said anything.

Although Ji Wanyou was puzzled, she immediately followed the two servants and left quickly.

Just as the guard said, Ji Xiu hadn't left for a long time, and several people quickly caught up.

"master."

Hearing the servant's voice, Ji Xiu stopped and looked back, and saw his daughter coming with a wind lantern at a glance.

"Miss Ji." Zhan Yunzhu had a slight smile on his lips, and his voice was neither soft nor heavy, as warm and moist as the sound of jade and stone hitting each other.

Ji Wanyou's heart jumped a few times, and an unstoppable joy rose rapidly in her heart.

She had thought a lot these days, and had a lot of doubts, but at this moment, the other party's "Miss Ji" almost collapsed all the defenses she had built up in her heart.

Seeing the two people's eyes meet, Ji Xiu wished he could take a pair of scissors, cut off the invisible thread, and then light a fire to burn it clean!

"Who allowed you to bring the girl out?" Ji Xiu glanced at the servants beside him.

"It was the daughter who heard that her father was here and was a little worried about him, so she insisted on coming to see it." Ji Wanyou explained in a low voice.

"What is there to worry about?" Ji Xiu sighed heavily: "Go back quickly and stop messing around."

Ji Wanyou nodded and didn't say any more.

Zhan Yunzhu looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Ji has always been very careful, so she must be really worried about your lord."

He said again: "Since Miss Ji is here, you can go to the garden on the north side of the palace in your spare time. The scenery there is quite beautiful. There is a lotus pond in the southwest corner, and a pond of water lilies in it is blooming just right."

Listening to this sentence, looking at the gentle, sincere and calm eyes of the young man, Ji Wanyou couldn't tell what she felt.

He still remembers her Ailian...

She should have been happy about it.

But the more she was like this, the more she couldn't help thinking—if it was true that all of this was a deliberate deception, then the person in front of her was a little too scary?

"Okay." Ji Xiu broke up the uncomfortable atmosphere impatiently, and glanced at Zhan Yunzhu - he could come to any place in the palace where there was a water lily, and the eunuch who worked in this palace I'm afraid he doesn't know much about it!

"If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day. I will take this nonsense daughter back first."

After leaving such a sentence, Ji Xiu took Ji Wanyou and walked away.

Ji Wanyou followed behind her father with her head down. After walking a certain distance, she unconsciously slowed down and turned her head away.

In sight, the man in the blue official robe was still standing there, watching her silently.

Seeing her turn around, a smile appeared on the man's face.

Ji Wanyou slightly clenched her fingers, her heart churning with emotion repeatedly.

After returning to the residence in the palace with her father, Ji Wanyou lay on the bed and lost her mind.

In this yard, there are two rooms for the servants to rest, so one room was allocated for her to live alone.

And outside her door, there will always be a servant guarding her, no matter where she goes, she will follow.

Not long after, the sky outside the window gradually brightened.

Hearing the faint snore of the servant guarding outside the room, Ji Wanyou got up lightly
