The snowy night was quiet, and there were a few hissing dogs barking intermittently in the city, which soon disappeared as the lights of people on the street came on.

Jing Ran floated straight into the Deqin Palace, frowning, thinking that the guards around the palace were still too loose, and when they were in the sky above the three-color maple forest, the eighteen hidden guards quietly gathered and appeared, and saluted after seeing clearly that it was Jing Ran Then he quietly disappeared again.

Qing Chi and Ye Chi hurried out to welcome them: "My lord, you can be considered to be back, go into the room quickly, and take care of the cold."

Jing Ran untied the eldest grandson Qimu's thin fur and put it on the crook of his arm. Qing Chi was about to reach out to pick it up, but was pulled by Ye Chi and shook his head.

Um?It was only then that Qingchi remembered that the son had never worn a coat when he left the mansion today. Looking at it, the thin fur was an extremely rare Qingqiu-tailed fox fur, and the whole body was embroidered with the dragon and phoenix totem representing Qingyue's unique dignity. Isn't it the clothes of His Royal Highness Ninth Princess...

Didn't he put the cloak sent by the nine princesses at the bottom of the box, why did he come back wearing another one? Qingchi's face suddenly became complicated——

...I didn't expect it to be such a prince.

When Jingran crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qingchi, rolled his eyes silently, handed Boqiu over, and ordered: "If Princess Jiu sends someone to pick it up, give it to her, and if not, put it aside first." Get up."

"Yes!" Qing Chi took it carefully, felt the wetness from the snow melting on it, and quickly took it to the storage room to handle it properly and hang it up.

Jing Ran went straight into the inner room, walked to the table and rubbed the ink without raising his head, and told the liquid pool: "You don't have to stay here, go prepare hot water for a bath!"

As soon as the liquid pool retreated, Yun Ling, who didn't know where to go, came in, thumping around Jing Ran with a cold air, rubbing up and down lightly, as if smelling her.

Jing Ran's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lifted it onto the paper, looked at the bamboo prints on its paws after the snow melted, thought for a while and asked, "You know her, right?"

Yun Ling blinked her blue eyes in confusion.

"Eldest grandson Qimu." Jing Ran narrowed his eyes and uttered a name.

Like Yunying, Yunling is a spirit beast that recognizes its master abnormally, and it is impossible for others to get close.And the intimacy and affection that this little thing had with the eldest grandson Qimu yesterday was unprecedented before, and just now because she wore the thin fur of the eldest grandson Qimu, he sniffed lightly at her again.

Yun Ling's beautiful blue eyes rippled like water, and she tilted her little head and nodded.

Jing Ran's phoenix eyes narrowed even tighter: "When?"

Yun Ling glanced at her innocently, then lowered her head and pecked at the nib in her hand after a chirp.

"Stupid bird!" Jing Ran glared at it angrily, raised his hand and threw it into the nest beside the bed without looking back, his movements were extremely light and soft, and then changed to another piece of rice paper and started to draw.

Yun Ling struggled out of the cotton nest, glanced at Jing Ran, and shrank back obediently.

The room was silent, about the time it took to touch a cup of tea, Jing Ran stopped the nib of his pen, pursed his lips and looked at it quietly for a moment, then raised his voice out of the window: "Xuan Mei!"

"My son!" Xuan Mei floated down.

"Grandpa and Jiang Baixi are back?"

"The old prince has just returned to the mansion, and Prince Xi's carriage is still parked at the gate of the palace, do you want to send someone to tell Prince Xi that you have..." Xuan Mei's calm voice came from outside the window.

"No need." Jing Ran interrupted him, swept his sleeves lightly, sent out the newly made portrait on the table, and ordered: "Go down and check with the hidden guard who guards the Wuli Posthouse. Could it be that the person pestering the Third Prince Wuli is the person in the portrait?"

Xuan Mei took the drawing paper that flew out of the window, looked down and was stunned. Isn't this the second princess Ye Gui from Southern Xinjiang who just showed up today? How could she rescue the third prince Wuli? The fugitive slave of your family has something to do with it?

"Also, transfer eight people from the eighteen hidden guards to the eight directions of the palace to guard, and then transfer another five people to secretly guard Grandpa's Zhilan Garden." Jing Ran thought for a while and then gave an order. He lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then waved his hand as he had nothing to add: "Go down!"

"Yes!" Xuan Mei rolled up the portrait, put it in her arms and floated back.

Jing Ran watched Xuan Mei leave, and was about to step up to take a bath, when she suddenly raised her hand to touch her stomach, which felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly felt annoyed, holding the warm Mrs. Tang given by that person all night, she almost forgot.

His eyes found the table, and he took two steps closer to pick up the thing again, rubbed it with his fingertips, and covered the already warm thing with fine velvet fur, exuding faintly the fragrance of snow lotus .

Jing Ran suddenly leaned closer and sniffed it. It smelled cold but very rich, and it smelled very good.

He simply leaned on the chair and closed his eyes for a while, when the voice of the pool came softly from outside the door: "My lord, the hot water is ready, but bring it in?"

Jing Ran opened her eyes and rubbed her temples, her voice was hoarse: "No need, call Mama Zhao to prepare a bowl..."

"Bring it in, it's just for the prince to take a bath!" The window opened and closed very quickly, and the cold wind outside barely blew into the house, Jiang Boxi stood condescendingly in front of Jing Ran, looking at her coolly .

"You want to take a bath with me?" Jing Ran raised his eyelids to look at her with his hands on his head.

"Why not?" Jiang Baixi frowned, looked at Jing Ran's face, sat down at the table, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and blew it: "This prince is here You dried it for half an hour in the ice and snow, and now there are icicles from head to toe."

The corner of Jing Ran's mouth twitched, he raised his eyelids and looked at the ceiling fixedly, and said calmly: "Yes, I just want you to be as cold as possible and not get out of bed for three days and three nights."

Jiang Boxi put down the teacup heavily, and made a gesture to hit her, but Jing Ran and his chair floated to dodge, cast a sideways glance at her, stood up and told Yechi who was waiting outside the door: "Change the bath." Bring the bucket in, and tell Mother Zhao to make two bowls of ginger soup and bring it in, one with brown sugar and red dates."

Jiang Baixi rested his fingers on the edge of the table, frowned and looked at Jing Ran's lower abdomen seriously: "Are you really weak?"

"If not, who do you think I'm acting for?" Jing Ran got up and pulled up the boxwood warming screen with ice silk patterns, and didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic: "Say it, you asked for a marriage order What does Guoshu want to do?"

Jiang Baixi followed the person carrying the bathtub in and out, thought for a while and replied in a natural tone: "Of course I want to bring you back to Ganqiu."

Jing Ran frowned: "I said that I would not join forces with you, nor would I join hands with others."

Jiang Baixi rolled his eyes, looked at Jing Ran and suddenly smiled: "If I say that I really like you."

"You'd better deal with your own rotten peach blossoms. I think Changsun Qihong is very fond of you." Jing Ran slowly raised his hand to gather the lint on Yunling's body. This silly bird, since After leaving Yuemi Mountain, I don't know where to go wild every day, and when I come back, I sleep like a pig.

What are you talking about?Jiang Baixi glanced at Jing Ran inexplicably, then got up and walked behind the screen with big strides.

Soon there was the sound of rustling water behind the screen, and Jing Ran turned her head to the window: "Lan Ge! Get your prince a suit of clothes."

"Yes!" The upright boy Lan Ge got up and floated towards Qing Yaxuan with a slightly hot face.

Although the sound insulation in the room was excellent, he couldn't hear what the crown prince and Jing Shizi were talking about, but he could vaguely see the figures of the two through the screened window, as if they looked peaceful.Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to take a bath in Jing Shi's ovary. In his eyes, it is self-evident what this progress means.

When Jing Ran opened the window to pick up Jiang Baixi's clothes, she faintly saw that Lan Ge'er, who had passed the clothes over and hurriedly left, seemed to be a little reddish, she frowned for no reason, could it be that the master and servant Is it really cold for a long time in the ice and snow?

But if you have a carriage and don't take it, you have to stand under the heavy snow, I'm afraid it's not a disease of the brain.

"Jade beauty! Have you got it, bring it in quickly!" Jiang Boxi, who was almost wrinkled in the water after being unable to hear anything for a long time, shouted dissatisfied.

Send it in?Think beautifully!Jing Ran silently rolled her eyes, and directly threw her hands in.

After the sound of splashing water, Jiang Boxi muttered while dressing.

Jing Ran turned around and watched the person in bright yellow soft silk light gown slowly walk out from behind the screen, the slightly wet hair showed bright facial features, it was really a beautiful skin.

Jing Ran chuckled, and stretched out two fingers to test the temperature of the bowl of ginger soup on the table: "It's a bit cold, take it down and heat it up before drinking."

"No need." Jiang Boxi wrapped his belt indiscriminately, walked to the table indifferently, raised his head to pick up the small bowl, and poured it down without frowning.

Jing Ran watched her finish drinking, and raised her chin: "Sit down."

Jiang Boxi looked at her suspiciously, put down the bowl and sat down as she said.

"What do you most lack, Ganqiu?" Jing Ran's eyes were clear, and he spoke concisely.

Jiang Baixi was stunned, and sighed helplessly: "Soldiers and horses!" After a pause, he added: "The land of Ganqiu is vast from east to west, but most of it is located in the extreme north. It's not been a month, and the rest of the time is either in the endless snowfall or the extremely severe cold and dry cold, it is impossible to train and station troops on a large scale."

People who live in such a native land will be frozen to the wind and cold for half an hour without tolerance to the severe cold?Jing Ran curled her lips, put aside the strange feeling, and continued: "Soldiers and horses are the foundation of attack and the foundation of success. Even though Ganqiu is rich and prosperous now, there are shields but no spears. What do you use to rule the world?"

Jiang Boxi also curled his lips following her, and then smiled with the corners of his lips curled up: "How could I not know this, am I planning to abduct you back so that I can earn some money as a dowry soldier?"

Jing Ran angrily snatched the teapot from her hand: "It's worth your trouble to think of me as Marshal Ma of the Qingyue Army or the successor appointed by the old emperor."

"Don't forget that your father used his own power to push back the 30 soldiers from Southern Xinjiang and Xiyan in Tonggu Pass." Jiang Baixi snorted and explained without any haste. After reviewing what happened to Prince Deqin 20 years ago, he concluded meaningfully: "How can a tiger father get a son, besides, Yumei, how much you are worth? The prince still knows very well."

Jing Ran didn't respond for a moment. This history has been passed on for more than 30 years and is still talked about, so she naturally knows it well.At that time, the nine kings in Qingyue joined forces to rebel and caused the people to live in dire straits, and they were finally suppressed. Sanfanbang then took advantage of the chaos in Qingyue and jointly sent 20 troops to invade, vowing to wipe down Qingyue in one fell swoop. Before even stepping into Guguan, the soldiers fell like a mountain, and then they paid tribute to Qingyue Chaosui for [-] years in a peaceful manner.

"So even if the crown prince can't kidnap you, you can't let that golden seedling trick you!" Jiang Baixi snorted again: "Do you think that without the restraint of the crown prince, what would that bad old man of Emperor Yue do? Can you withstand Wuli's pressure?"

Jing Ran glanced at her: "Then don't I have to thank you?"

"It's not a loss for the prince!" Jiang Baixi raised his eyebrows, then pursed his mouth and said: "But it's cheaper for that wooden man!"

Jing Ran choked on the water he drank, and just as he was about to speak, Qing Chi's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "My lord, the ninth princess has sent someone, saying they are here to fetch the thin fur."

In such a hurry?Jing Ran frowned: "Then give it to him."

"Yes!" Qingchi responded, and said again: "The visitor also said that Princess Jiu has something to send."

"Let him in." Jing Ran ignored Jiang Baixi's tsk-tsk eyes, walked to the window and opened the window, a gust of cold wind mixed with tiny snow particles rushed towards him.

Luo Nuo floated down in front of the window, and when he saw Jiang Boxi inside the room, his face turned pale with shock.

Prince Xi was sitting in Shizi Jing's room in the middle of the night with only his underwear on?It was obvious that he had just showered and his clothes were messy again.This—could it be said that Jing Shizi has accepted Prince Xi!The two have reached the point where they are in the same room?What should His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess do? !

Jing Ran's strange feeling came back again, and he simply locked his eyes on Luo Nuo's face carefully.

Luo Nuo immediately put away his complicated expression, his handsome face was slightly condensed, he took out a small azure bottle from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Jing Ran: "The princess said that the weather is cold these days, so I asked my subordinates to warm this bottle. Bring Xiangwan to Jing Shizi."

Jing Ran's eyes fell on Luo Nuo's palm, and he nodded in silence for a moment: "Thank you Your Highness for me."

Luo Nuo pursed his lips, looked up at Jiang Boxi again, nodded his head as a signal, and then floated away.

Jiang Baixi watched Jing Ran close the window and turned around, with a half-smile expression on his lips and said: "I don't know if that wooden man is really in love with you, or if he got too deep into the drama and deceived himself." After entering, I actually gave you a whole bottle of Nuanxiang pills to warm up, tsk!"

Jing Ran looked at the small warm green jade bottle on the table and didn't say a word. Rumor has it that Nuanxiang Pills were made by people with extremely pure internal energy who condensed water fire lily, and water fire lily only grows in the snow that has accumulated for thousands of years. On the extremely cold peak of the Tianshan Mountains, there is only one plant in a thousand years, and the blooming time is extremely coquettish and short-lived. The world often calls it a thousand-year fire lotus. Unexpectedly, it was obtained by the eldest grandson Qimu and made into Nuanxiang pills.

She has been practicing medicine for decades with the stinking old doctor who is the most skilled in the world, and she has only seen the records of the thousand-year-old fire lotus and Nuanxiang pills in ancient books and records, so she naturally knows that they are not priceless at all.

"It's late at night, you should hurry back to your Qingyaxuan." After a moment of silence, Jing Ran's eyes moved away from the jade vase and squinted at Jiang Baixi, and said hurriedly: "You should worry more about your family and country affairs Son, Wu Liyuemo has already started to reach out to unite with Southern Xinjiang, although I haven't verified it yet, but I guess it's probably close."

Jiang Boxi, who had just stood up, stared suddenly.
