Ji Linglan didn't get up early as usual, but stayed in bed until eight o'clock. During this time, she has been very busy every day, not only taking care of Lin Tianyao's three meals a day, but also accompanying him to work , Although I don't need to do anything, I always feel more tired than staying in the dissecting room all day.After finally having a chance to be lazy, he decided to indulge once.

Ji Linglan got up, opened the door, looked at Lin Qi who was waiting at the door, and said, "Go fetch water."

Lynch responded and said, "Yes, this subordinate will go now."

In order to protect Ji Linglan's safety, and for someone to take care of him, Princess Yaohua sent Xu Ning and the other three to his side as attendants and bodyguards.

Ji Linglan was washing up, when footsteps came from the door, Ji Pingting walked in quickly, and asked with concern: "Brother, you got up late today, are you feeling well?"

Ji Linglan shook her head with a smile, and said: "I'm a little tired recently, I want to be lazy while I'm not in the palace today."

"Brother, I've worked hard on you lately. Let me beat your back." After Ji Pingting finished speaking, she came to Ji Linglan's side, pulled him to the table and sat down, and really beat her back.

The strength was just right, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing and said: "Where did Tinger learn this, the strength of this back-beating is just right."

Ji Pingting replied casually: "My mother's shoulder and neck are not good. I have consulted the imperial doctor on massage techniques. If I get tired in the future, Ting'er will give you a hammer and a massage."

Ji Linglan couldn't help but sighed: "Mother is really lucky to have such a good daughter like you."

"Father and mother are my pride. They defend their home and country, and I protect them, hehe."

The two siblings were chatting when Lynch walked in and said with a bow, "Prince King, Princess, breakfast is ready."

"Father has gone to court?"

"Go back to the king, the general said that there is no need to wait for him."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Then pass the meal on."

Lynch responded, turned around and walked out. After a while, several attendants came in with food boxes in their hands, saluted and put the food on the table.

One basket of crystal steamed dumplings, one basket of steamed buns, one plate of pea yellow, four sticks of fried dough sticks, and two bowls of salted bean curd. Compared with their current identities, it can be regarded as a very simple breakfast.

The two siblings chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After breakfast, Ji Linglan was planning to go to the study to read, when Lin Qi came to report that the person who had been here yesterday came to see him again.Ji Linglan didn't hesitate, and asked Lin Qi to bring her here.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Lynch brought someone to the door, turned to look at the man, and said, "My lord, wait a moment, I'll go to Tongbing."

Ji Linglan heard the movement in front of the door, and said directly: "Let him in."

Lynch responded and led people in.

Ji Linglan passed Lynch to look at the person, couldn't help being surprised, and then said: "Ting'er, you and Lynch go out first, I have something to talk to this young master."

Although Ji Pingting was a little puzzled, she didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Brother, then I'll come and find you later."

"it is good."

The two left the room together, and Ji Pingting closed the door intimately.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Ji Linglan looked at the person who came, and said with a wry smile: "Gaowei, I haven't seen you for three years, I didn't expect you to chase Linguo."

Gao Wei suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Gao Wei sees the master."

Ji Linglan was taken aback by Gao Wei's sudden action. Three years ago he hated him so much, how could he bow down and call him master now?

Ji Linglan asked vigilantly, "Gaowei, what do you mean?"

"Gao Wei came to send a letter to the master under the order of King Ling this time, and he is determined to follow the master."

"A Ling?" Ji Linglan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help saying excitedly: "Where is the letter?"

Gao Wei got up, took out the letter and offered it with both hands, said: "Before my subordinates leave, the prince has given thousands of instructions to deliver the letter to the master with his own hands."

Ji Linglan took the letter carefully. Although he was looking forward to hearing about Fu Nanling, he remained vigilant towards Gao Wei. After all, he was killed by Gao Wei three times. Although he had to escape, it was pure luck. .

Gao Wei handed the letter to Ji Linglan, and took two steps back consciously to show that he had no malicious intentions.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter, Ji Linglan's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sour.They haven't seen each other for nearly three months. They thought that being busy would make their miss less, but when they were free, the suppressed emotions came flooding in like mountains and seas.

Ji Linglan pointed to the seat beside her and said, "Sit down a bit, I'll go inside."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ji Linglan ignored it, took the letter directly into the bedroom, and closed the door behind her.Came to the table and sat down, carefully opened the beeswax on the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at the words on it.Immediately, he entered the dissection room, took out the "Da Fu Law", and went back to the bedroom to translate it carefully.

It took Ji Linglan an hour to decipher the two-page letter, and re-wrote it before reading it carefully.

Alan:

A Lan, when you read the letter, you should have already arrived in Linguo. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I don’t know if you can adapt to it.

Ah Lan, Gao Wei was rescued by me, and now he has turned to the light. He is capable of both martial arts and intelligence, so keeping him by my side can be counted as a number of helpers.

Ah Lan, Fu Nanping is dead, and his death is at my hands, so it can be regarded as revenge for you.The empress and all the ministers elected me to be the successor. Not surprisingly, the enthronement ceremony will be held on the ninth day of October. Presumably you will not come back.It's okay, don't worry about it, Fu country without you is no longer my destination.

Ah Lan, the emperor of Linguo has my people, I have ordered them to obey your orders, and I should get in touch with you after you receive the letter.Although these people obey my orders, they cannot be completely trusted. It is up to you to decide whether to use it or not.

Alan, I have received your letter. You may imagine that I was so excited at that time that I couldn't help but burst into tears. If you were here, you would definitely say that I was worthless.

You said that after you left, you didn't know the pain of lovesickness, and only then did you know that you had a deep love for me.Do you know that just this one sentence has already made my heart surge; you know how hard I have to work hard to restrain myself from looking for you.

Ah Lan, I have known the taste of lovesickness for a long time, but now I know what it means to be haunted by dreams.The lingering of that night always lingers in my mind, making me feel uncomfortable, but you are not by my side, how do you let me deal with myself?

Alan, I miss you!Thinking of you all the time!I miss you all the time!

Ah Lan, wait for me, wait for me to find you!The day won't be long!

阿陵

September 24th, [-]th year of Zhaoming

After reading the letter, Ji Linglan couldn't help but her eyes turned red, her fingers stroked each word lightly, and she murmured Fu Nanling's name.

"Missing is really a tormenting thing." Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing bitterly, and said to herself, "I don't know what he is doing now?"

Ji Linglan put away the letter and put it in the locker in the anatomy room, then returned to the bedroom and walked to the front hall.

Seeing him coming out, Gao Wei quickly stood up and saluted, "Master."

Ji Linglan smiled, and said: "Sit down. I think back then that you and I faced each other with swords and swords, but now we have such an attitude towards me. I am really not used to it."

"At the time, the subordinates were confused, but after several lives and deaths, they finally realized it, and I ask the master to let go of the past."

Thinking of Mrs. Liu's death, Ji Linglan still cared very much in her heart, and didn't pick up his words, and asked, "What happened to the scar on your face? What happened to you after you escaped from Yongning Town?"

Gao Wei was silent for a while, and said: "When I escaped from Yongning Town, I was seriously injured. I fled to the vicinity of Xiliu Mountain and was rescued by a farmer. My whereabouts were discovered by King Ping's people. I fought hard and fled in embarrassment. King Ping's people chased me closely and chased me for several months, across two provinces. In order to get rid of the pursuers, I entered Pingyin Mountain. But I entered an uncivilized tribe by mistake. I lived there for two years, married a wife and had children. Although life was poor, it was very peaceful. I thought I would live in peace like this forever, but the people of King Ping found it there again The massacre, the one-sided massacre, those simple tribesmen fell one by one, including my wife, and the youngest son who was still in the swaddle."

Seeing Gao Wei falling into painful memories, Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing, and said, "Then what happened later, how did you escape?"

"My wife and children are dead. I didn't want to live in the world anymore, but seeing their miserable conditions, I felt resentful in my heart, so I fought hard to break out of the siege, but the other party still pursued me all the way to the edge of the cliff. I didn't want to die on the edge of the cliff." With their hands, I jumped off the cliff, luckily I was blocked by an old tree on the cliff, and I didn't really fall, and was later rescued by the prince's people."

"Then why did you come to the country?"

"The old emperor died of illness. Fu Nanping launched a palace coup to seize the throne, but he didn't want it to be as early as the prince expected. Fu Nanping was tried in full view, and I was one of the people who testified against him. Seeing the situation is one-sided , Fu Nanping finally took off his disguise and planned to attack everyone, but fell into the scheme of the prince, and was finally cut off by the sword by the prince himself. The revenge was avenged, and I planned to follow my wife and children to atone for the crimes I committed in my life. At this time, the prince found me and said that he saved my life, so I should repay the favor of saving my life, and then I came here."

"So that's how it is." Seeing his wife and children dying tragically, Gao Wei also received his retribution, Ji Linglan exhaled heavily, and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, since you have the intention to change from evil to righteousness, then forget the past and start over again." Bar."

Gao Wei seemed relieved when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you, master."

"I'm currently living in the palace. You don't know your identity. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay with me, so you can stay in the princess mansion temporarily."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Gao Wei took out a jade token from his pocket, handed it to Ji Linglan, and said, "Master, this is the prince's token. Before this subordinate left, the prince asked his subordinate to hand it over to Ji Linglan." of."

Ji Linglan took the jade tablet and took a closer look. It was made of a piece of white jade, with a dragon pattern engraved on the front and a big word 'Ling' engraved on the back.Ji Linglan looked at Gao Wei and said, "Is this token used to order the internal agents lurking in Linguo?"

"Yes."

Ji Linglan put away the token and asked, "Are you with them these few days?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll write a reply letter now, and you can give it to them for me, so that they can be sent to the prince as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ji Linglan didn't delay any longer, and went back to the bedroom to start writing the letter. After he finished writing, he thought about it, went back to the anatomy room, took a pencil, and drew two Q-version villains cuddling together on the last page of the letter paper. One of them has an obvious mole of tears under his eyes, and the jade pendant on the other villain has a small word '陵' on it.

Ji Linglan read it with satisfaction, then sealed the envelope, got up and went to the front hall, handed it to Gao Wei, and said: "You tell them, this letter must be handed over to the prince."

Gao Wei took the envelope and said in response: "Master, don't worry, the subordinate will definitely bring the message."

"Okay, you go."

Seeing Gao Wei bowing and exiting the door, Ji Linglan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

From this day on, Gao Wei registered at the Princess Mansion, and Ji Linglan did not hide the truth from Princess Yaohua, telling her the truth about Gao Wei's life experience and Fu Nanling's letter.Princess Yaohua was very pleased and acquiesced to the existence of Gao Wei and the correspondence between Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed, and the toxins in Lin Tianyao's body were almost cleared away. Two of the three servants who were escorted into Xiaoqiwei also came back, only Ulan disappeared.Lin Tianyao felt sorry for Ji Linglan, so he waived his three meals a day, and only asked Ji Linglan to come to the imperial study every morning to accompany him on official business.

With free time, Ji Linglan started to organize the shop, and sent out the customized cosmetics in the name of returning gifts. Of course, Princess Yaohua and Ji Pingting were the first users.The second batch is the eldest aunt and several cousins ​​of the Duke's Mansion.As for the Crown Princess Gao Zhenzhen and cousin Lin Xianer, Ji Linglan didn't dare to give them away. After all, they were used on his body. If they poisoned them and framed him, he really had no reason to reason, so he would return the gift. I sent some gold and silver jewelry, which of course was custom-made.

In order to cooperate with Ji Linglan, Princess Yaohua also held a special banquet in the Princess Mansion, and invited the family members of officials of rank four or above to participate, just to promote Ji Linglan's cosmetics.After Lin Tianyao heard this, he also made a fuss, and asked Princess Yaohua to hold a banquet in the palace, and through the banquet, Ji Linglan's identity was revealed to celebrate his safe return.The conditions for participants in the banquet were lowered from the fourth rank to the fifth rank, and for this reason, the number of people attending the banquet in each official's house was also stipulated.It can be said to be the biggest banquet in years.

The emperor personally attended the banquet, but all the ministers who met the requirements were present, except of course Gao Zhenjiang and others who were still on the way.All the ministers arrived, and many of their family members also came, especially the adult sons and daughters.They not only dressed up carefully, but also prepared special talents, the purpose is to attract attention at the banquet and pave the way for their future.

"The emperor is here!" As the precious voice fell, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Ji Linglan followed Princess Yaohua into the main hall.

When Lin Tianyao entered the hall, all the people in the hall knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Lin Tianyao passed through the crowd and stepped onto the high dragon chair, then turned around and said, "Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Majesty Ron."

Lin Tianyao sat on the dragon chair, looked at everyone in His Royal Highness, and said, "My dear friends, I think many veterans still remember the palace change 13 years ago. Although the rebellion was successfully suppressed later, it also paid a heavy price. , especially the traitor Lianghe kidnapped my grandson Zhao'er. Today my grandson was found by Yaohua. He looks like a dragon and a phoenix, respectful and humble. I am very relieved. He was named the king of Lan County, with an annual salary of six thousand silver and Lumi Six thousand dendrobiums, the fiefdoms of Jiaocheng and Hancheng, are hereby announced to the world."

Ji Linglan knelt on her knees and said, "Thank you, Grandfather Long En, long live long live long live long live."

Everyone fell to their knees again, and raised their voices: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Lin Tianyao raised his hand slightly, and said: "A Lan is flat, and all loves are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Linglan got up, and everyone in His Highness also got up one after another.

Lin Tianyao smiled and said, "Let's all sit down. Today's banquet is only for the monarch and his ministers to have fun together. You love to drink to your heart's content, so don't worry too much about it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All His Highness took their seats.

Baogui raised his voice and shouted: "The banquet begins, and the singing and dancing begins."

Although Ji Linglan didn't like this kind of occasion, but this time he was the protagonist of the banquet, so he could only sit on the lower head of Princess Yaohua and let everyone look at her.

Princess Yaohua saw Ji Linglan's uneasiness, and said, "Ah Lan is not used to it?"

Ji Linglan smiled bitterly and whispered, "There are indeed."

Princess Yaohua patted the back of his hand and said comfortingly: "I will get used to it after attending more banquets."

"If it weren't for this banquet being organized by the imperial grandfather for me, I really don't want to participate."

Ji Pingting pulled Ji Linglan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Brother, look at the ladies over there, they are all peeking at you."

Ji Linglan raised her eyes to look over, and sure enough, she saw many women looking at him, and when they saw him looking over, they looked away one after another, only one woman looked at him.

Ji Linglan smiled slightly, then looked away, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that woman in the blue begonia floral dress?"

Ji Pingting looked at it, and replied in a low voice, "That's Han Shishi, the granddaughter of Han Xu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Her mother is Gao Xiaolian, and her aunt is the princess."

Ji Linglan nodded, and said clearly: "No wonder she is full of arrogance, she does have the capital to be proud."

Ji Pingting curled her lips and said, "She is notoriously troublesome, no one pays attention to her, and her ambition in life is to marry her cousin to be the imperial concubine. Hmph, she is also worthy, a vase, in addition to a pair She is nothing with a skin that can still be seen and a prominent family background."

Ji Linglan was amused for a while, and said: "How did she offend Ting'er?"

"It's more than an offense." Ji Pingting said angrily: "Brother, you don't know, she is the one who slanders me everywhere outside, saying that I can't do everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that I don't know anything about the housekeeper. A savage who knows nothing but foul-smelling beasts."

Ji Linglan frowned and said, "She slandered you so much, why didn't you teach her a lesson?"

"That's natural, I'm not so easy to bully. She's not cheap, so I secretly smeared specially prepared honey on her dress. When she was walking in the imperial garden, it attracted a swarm of bees and stung her. She was crying for her father and mother, her mouth was swollen, not to mention how relieved she was."

Seeing the complacency on Ji Pingting's face, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said, "You are the only one who can come up with such a way to punish people. Don't everyone know that you did it after making such a fuss? Did you get punished later?" gone?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Ji Pingting's little face collapsed, and she said with lingering fear: "The imperial grandfather punished me to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and it took me three days to finish copying."

Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "Grandfather really knows Tinger, and knows what Tinger is most afraid of."

"Brother, you're still gloating, hmph, I'm ignoring you." Ji Pingting turned her head pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan picked up the lychees on the table, peeled them off and handed them to Ji Pingting, saying, "Okay, okay, brother is wrong, this lychee is used as compensation, Tinger can't be angry."

Ji Pingting immediately beamed with joy, took the lychee, and said, "Okay, let's not make an example."

Princess Yaohua interrupted the two brothers and sisters, and reminded in a low voice: "Alan, it's time for you to toast."

Ji Linglan looked up and found that the singing and dancing had stopped. He nodded, stood up and said, "Grandfather, my grandson respects you. I wish you health and longevity, and the prosperity of Linguo."

Lin Tianyao picked up the wine glass on the imperial table and said, "Okay, Ah Lan has a heart."

Just as Lin Tianyao was about to drink it up, he heard Ji Linglan say: "The emperor's grandfather is not in good health, so we should replace the bar with tea."

Lin Tianyao paused his hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, Yi Alan, I will exchange tea for you."

Bao Bao took the wine glass away, replaced it with a cup of tea, and drank it with Ji Linglan.

The small gesture of the grandfather and grandson attracted the attention of many people, who silently evaluated Ji Linglan's weight in Lin Tianyao's heart.

Ji Linglan toasted again, looked at Linfengshu and Gao Zhenzhen, and said with a smile: "A Lan, this glass of wine is to my uncle and aunt, and I wish my uncle and aunt a harmonious husband and wife, and love to the end."

Lin Fengshu glanced at Gao Zhenzhen, the two raised their wine glasses together, and said, "Ah Lan has a heart."

The three of them drank the wine in their glasses.

Ji Linglan filled the wine glass again, came to Ji Qing's side, and said, "For the third cup, Ah Lan respects my grandfather, wishing my grandfather good health and longevity."

"Okay." Ji Qing nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Then Ji Linglan paid respects to Ji Mingjie and his wife, then returned to her seat, refilled her wine glass, looked at Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu, and said, "This cup, Ah Lan respects my father and mother, thanking my father and mother for their generosity, Thank you for not giving up looking for me, I wish my father and mother a lifetime of peace and joy, and love each other from generation to generation.”

Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Linglan, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Good boy, it is the greatest blessing in my mother's life to find you back. I hope our family can be safe and love each other."

Ji Mingqiu comforted: "Yao'er, today's banquet, you should be happy."

Princess Yaohua wiped the corners of her eyes, said with a smile: "What Ah Qiu said is that you should be happy, you should be happy, so let's drink this cup with Alan."

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too." Ji Pingting also toasted.

The four members of the family looked at each other and smiled, and filled their glasses with wine.

The four of them sat down one after another, and Lin Tianyao said aloud: "A lot of young people have come here today, and they are all young talents who are well-known in the imperial capital. You might as well show off any talents you have, so that I and all your lovers can also appreciate them."

All the young people in His Highness are waiting for this link, all gearing up.

Han Shishi was the first to get up, and said: "Your Majesty, my servant wants to play a piano to cheer everyone up."

Lin Tianyao smiled and nodded, "Sure."

Han Shishi summoned attendants, moved the piano into the hall, and then walked over gracefully.

Seeing this, Ji Pingting curled her lips in disdain, and said, "Pretentious. As far as her piano skills are concerned, she can't even recognize the five notes, so she has the nerve to make a fool of herself. Brother, you have to plug your ears later, so as not to be abused."

Ji Linglan said amusedly: "Since she dares to perform in front of the hall, she will definitely not do what you said. Even if she doesn't care about face, then Han Shangshu will not let her mess around."

"That's true." Ji Pingting looked at Han Shishi and said doubtfully, "It's been a while since we saw her. Could it be that she has improved?"

"Whether you grow up or not, you'll know later."

Han Shishi sat next to the guqin and placed her hands on the piano. With her movements, notes flowed out from her fingertips.Although Ji Linglan likes to listen to music, she really doesn't know anything about rhythm.But it sounds good, at least it is a complete piece, and there are no obvious flaws.

"Hey, I've really improved." Ji Pingting said in surprise.

Ji Linglan nodded, feeling a little dizzy suddenly. He usually doesn't drink much, but just now he drank a few glasses. Although the amount was not too much, it was still a bit high.He approached Princess Yaohua and said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm a bit too drunk, I want to go outside the palace to get some air."

"Go, let Ting'er accompany you." Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Pingting and said, "Ting'er, take care of Ah Lan."

Ji Pingting nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry."

The two brothers and sisters didn't say any more, they got up and left their seats one after another.

Seeing this, Gao Zhenzhen, who was sitting opposite, lowered his head and whispered something in Lin Xianer's ear, Lin Xianer nodded, and exited the hall together with Lin Yongye.
