Chapter 62: Ji Nanyi Appears
On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, the invited officials brought their wives and children to attend the Lantern Festival banquet. The carriage from the Pingbo Hou Mansion stopped at the palace gate, and Ji Wanyi got out of the car.
In previous years, Ji Ding, the Marquis of Pingbo, did not attend the Lantern Festival banquet. Ji Ding's wife died early, leaving only a pair of children. Ji Nan was weak and sick, and rarely went out. He never attended such palace banquets, so Ji Ding would choose to stay in the mansion to accompany his son every year. When he knew Ji Ding's love for his son, he did not force Ji Ding to come to the Lantern Festival banquet.
Under such circumstances, Ji Wanyi basically comes alone at every palace banquet. In fact, Ji Wanyi has a good impression in the hearts of all wives. Ji Wanyi can be said to represent the entire Pingbo Marquis Mansion, but for so many years, Ji Wanyi has never damaged the Pingbo Marquis Mansion.
Many people are saying that if they marry Ji Wanyi and go back, the entire family will probably be revitalized.
But today Ji Wanyi did not leave immediately after getting off the car, but looked at the carriage behind her, lifted the curtain with one hand and stretched out it. It was a pair of plain white hands, which looked better than the hands of many women.
Ji Wanyi held the hand: "Brother, be careful!"
Ji Wanyi said this, but everyone around could hear it. Is it that Prince Pingbohou is here?
Almost subconsciously, everyone wanted to see what kind of character Ji Nanyi was?
When Ji Nanyi got off the carriage, he could hear the sound of breathing around him. After all, no one expected that Ji Nanyi, who rarely appeared, was so beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, and was really more popular than a woman.
Ji Nanyi seemed to have not seen these people, and walked straight to the palace gate. The eunuch who was responding to the palace gate was also a little lost when he saw Ji Nanyi. Ji Nanyi said, "This father-in-law, my father is coming later. Is this prince and sister a step ahead. I wonder if I can enter the palace first?"
"Oh, of course." The father-in-law immediately led Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi into the palace.
The others also came to their senses at this time and began to discuss in a low voice:
"That one was really the prince of the Marquis of Pingbo's Mansion just now?"
"When did you see Ji Wanyi, the little bully, look so cautious, then it must be her brother who is here."
"I was scared to be born in this prince," said Mr. Ji.
"Beautiful is beautiful. It depends on his appearance. He is indeed weak and sickly. Such a person is like a porcelain doll. He cannot touch it, and he may break it if he touches it."
"I think that Prince Ji's behavior was very elegant and elegant. He was worthy of being taught by the Marquis of Pingbo. Even if he was weak and sick, he was not even in terms of temperament and etiquette."
"Although I only met one time from afar, I really know how he looked when he talked to that father-in-law."
"The last time the Fourth Princess mentioned Prince Ji's incident in her words, I'm afraid I'm interested in this prince, but you see Prince Ji's appearance is so weak. If the Fourth Princess is sick again and accidentally meet Prince Ji, wouldn't she ask Ping Bohou to send a black-haired man to the black-haired man?"
"This is so scary. The last time the fourth princess was sick, it was so scary. If she had entered the mansion of the Pingbo Marquis, then Prince Ji would have been very scared even when he saw the fourth princess."
...
Everyone was discussing this matter, but they were discussing it in a low voice among their own family, so no incident occurred.
However, at this moment, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts, such as even if the Fourth Princess has a noble status, it would be inappropriate to marry Prince Ping Bo Hou. Not to mention the others, the Fourth Princess would have an illness from time to time, which might kill Ji Nanyi.
The father-in-law led the way, and Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi followed not far and near behind. Ji Wanyi pulled Lajinanyi's cloak and asked in a voice that only he could hear: "Brother, are you really sure that if you just walk like this today, the emperor will stop asking the Fourth Princess to marry you?"
Ji Nanyi smiled slightly: "I dare not say that in the future, at least there is no problem right now. After all, the Fourth Princess's 'disease' is not unhealthy."
As the two were talking, Ji Wanyi saw someone and her eyes lit up: "Princess Yunxi."
As soon as Ji Nan heard Ji Wanyi's shouting, he immediately followed her gaze. Wen Yunxi walked over from another direction, and should have gone to Hongzheng Hall where the banquet was held tonight.
When Wen Yunxi saw Ji Wanyi and Ji Nanyi, she also waved to the two happily and walked over quickly: "Ji Wanyi, you came very early today." She said and looked at Ji Nanyi standing aside, "This is not Prince Ji. I have never seen you attend the Lantern Festival banquet in the past. Why are you here today?"
Wen Yunxi was also considering that Ji Nanyi was in poor health and was worried that he would feel uncomfortable if he walked too much, so she quickly walked towards the two of them. She was talking and gasping for breath.
When Ji Nan saw Wen Yunxi like this, he felt a little funny: "Go back to the princess, I feel that my physical condition is OK during this period. Wanyi said that she did not have any relatives to accompany her at the night banquet alone, so I, as my brother, came here without any more."
"It's really boring that Wanyi has been here alone for so many years. It's good to have her family beside her talking." Wen Yunxi said as she sent off her father-in-law who was originally leading the way, "You can pick up others at the palace gate. Prince Ji, Miss Ji and this princess will be fine."
After hearing this, the father-in-law stepped down, and Wen Yunxi went to Hongzheng Palace with Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi.
"The Empress is really careful in doing things. She holds banquets in Hongzheng Hall every year and recognizes the way, but there are never fewer palace ladies who lead the way." Ji Wanyi spoke.
Wen Yunxi kept paying attention to Ji Nanyi's pace, for fear that he would walk too fast would affect Ji Nanyi. Ji Nanyi slowed down because he was a princess and didn't dare to say anything. Hearing Ji Wanyi's words, Wen Yunxi replied indifferently: "Where is the one who leads people to Hongzheng Palace, it is obvious that he is afraid that some people will go to places they shouldn't have gone."
Ji Nan coughed, and Ji Wanyi understood what he meant, just to ask her not to ask such questions again, so as not to use what Wen Yunxi said.
Ji Wanyi changed the topic: "Princess Yunxi, why don't you see Princess Wanyang today?"
Wen Yunxi replied: "I went to Hongzheng Palace and happened to pass by Yuyang Palace. When I arrived, I called her to go with me. Look, it was right in front."
Lian Zhi guessed that Wen Yunxi was about to arrive, so he was waiting for her at the palace gate. Unexpectedly, he saw that Wen Yunxi was walking with Ji Wanyi.
"Wanyang, this is the prince of the Marquis of Pingbo's Mansion, Ji Nanyi." Wen Yunxi introduced.
Ji Nan Yixiang gave a greeting: "Princess Wanyang."
Lianzhi returned the gift: "The prince."
"Let's go quickly. You can play two games after this point passes." Wen Yunxi urged.
Lianzhi asked while walking, "You seem to be obsessed with playing chess recently?"
Wen Yunxi nodded: "My mother asked me to play chess recently, saying that it was to cultivate her body and cultivate her character. I originally thought it was meaningless, but after playing a few games, I thought it was pretty good. You can play chess with me in the future."
The group walked to Hongzheng Hall. The main hall had not yet opened, so they went to the side hall to take a break. A chessboard was prepared in the side hall. Wen Yunxi sat down and asked Lianzhi to play chess with her. Lianzhi glanced at Ji Nanyi: "Forget it, every time you play chess with you, you think I bully you. Why not let Prince Ji play a few games with you?"
Wen Yunxi was still hesitating. If Ji Nanyi’s chess skills are very superb, wouldn’t she be embarrassed?
Ji Nan saw that Lian Zhi was helping him: "Princess Yunxi, my chess skills are not very good. If the princess is a beginner, she can do it."
"Really, then you sit down and play two games of chess with me." Wen Yunxi smiled and looked up.
Ji Wanyi looked at her brother next to her and sighed in her heart. What kind of chess skills are not good, my brother is really modest!
Ji Nanyi and Wen Yunxi started playing chess, Ji Wanyi and Lianzhi watched the game next to him. As more and more people came, everyone came over to see it.
Su Xiran also came here today. She came with Mrs. Su Song Wenhua. As soon as she came in, she saw several ladies who had a good relationship with her on weekdays. Several people greeted her and said that Su Xiran had lost a lot of illness for a while.
The few people had nothing to do, so they went to see Wen Yunxi and Ji Nan to play chess together.
But to be honest, everyone regretted it after watching it. This game of chess is really a bit naive. Wen Yunxi didn't think it was anything new, but she didn't expect that Ji Nanyi's chess skills were so bad.
Lian Zhi felt like a mirror in his heart. Prince Ji was really attentive to Wen Yunxi, and he couldn't tell any flaws. He insisted on playing chess with her according to Wen Yunxi's rules.
Ji Wanyi held her forehead helplessly. Her brother was so shameless. She used to play chess with her, but no matter how she begged, she would not let her do anything. Unexpectedly, she pretended not to play chess today.
Seeing Ji Nan's move, Su Xiran couldn't stand it anymore: "Criminal Ji, if you play this move here, wouldn't you win?"
