Xiao Ting insisted that he did not teach the parrot to tease people, but no one believed him from the Empress Dowager to Jing Yi.

Who made him never feel at ease?

"Why don't you apologize to the Fourth Princess!" Liu scolded her son in disgust.

Xiao Ting died unjustly, but he brought the parrot into the palace. Although the abrupt Jing Yi was not favored, he was also a real princess. Xiao Ting had no choice but to walk to Jing Yi, bent down with a bitter face and bowed and said, "I blame me for not being able to adjust. I'm teaching the parrot well, and ask the fourth princess to be large, don't bother me?"

"No obstacle, the third young master does not have to blame himself." Jing Yi leaned his head slightly and looked at his clothes and said.

Her voice was beautiful, but her tone was cold. Xiao Ting looked at the white skirt opposite him and suddenly thought of something. He often went to the palace to pay homage to the queen mother, and he was very familiar with the princesses in the palace. The princesses of the second, third and fifth call him cousin, but the fourth princess got along the least and the title was the most unfamiliar.

He slowly stood up.

Jing Yi had already walked to the golden silk cage and stood with his back to the warm couch. The Empress Dowager and others could not see her expression. Xiao Ting was close to him and saw Jing Yi's indifferent white side face clearly. The fifteen-year-old princess had red lips, and looked at the parrot's eyes without waves, as if she was looking at a dead object.

Xiao Ting felt that this fourth princess was different from all the noble girls he had ever met. He had no slutty that a girl should have. No wonder the emperor disliked her the most. If this continues, which man dares to be the son-in-law of the Fourth Princess in the future?

"Tingsheng went to find your elder brother and the others in front, so don't be embarrassed here." Liu ordered with a headache for fear of his son's trouble.

Xiao Ting didn't want to stay with a group of female relatives, so he couldn't wait to say goodbye.

At this time, only half an hour was left before the dinner. The Empress Dowager asked Jingyi, the fifth princess, and Xiao Ting's cousin Xiao Yuxi to lead Chun Ge to the Xihunting Pavilion to play. First, they had something to say, and second, they didn't want Jingyi to be restrained here. However, Jingyi was taciturn. Only the second princess could talk to her among the princesses. The lively and active fifth princess could not get along with Jingyi at all. When he arrived at the Xihunting Pavilion, the fifth princess climbed onto the warm bed familiarly and ordered the palace maid to take a chess. She sat face to face with Xiao Yuxi and went down to play on the double land.

Brother Chun sat next to his cousin, and from time to time he pointed at the chessboard to teach his cousin to play chess. The fifth princess, Xiao Yuxi, thought he was blindly directing and asked him to play.

Brother Chun pouted his mouth unhappily. The third brother disliked him, and his cousin despised him...

The big eyes rolled around and fell on the figure sitting in front of the window.

Brother Chun climbed to the edge of the couch. When Bilan, who was beside the fifth princess, saw him, hurried over to help him put on his shoes and asked with a smile: "Do you want tea for the little boy?"

Chun Ge'er shook his head and opened his hand to signal Bilan to carry him to the ground. When he arrived at the ground, Chun Ge'er ignored Bilan and walked towards Jing Yi in a tentative direction. Bilan followed him worriedly. Halfway through, he saw the fourth princess leaning towards him, Bilan subconsciously stopped and dared not get closer.

Jing Yi glanced at Brother Chun and looked out the window again in an instant.

"Fourth Cousin, why don't you go and play with my cousin?" Chun Ge'er was very familiar with him. He stopped beside Jing Yi and asked with his head raised.

Jing Yi was not talking, but she knew etiquette. When she looked at the boy, she said truthfully: "I don't know."

Brother Chun'er's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "I can, I will teach you!"

After saying that, he did not give Jing Yi the chance to refuse, and turned his head and ordered Bilan to get the chessboard. Bilan stared at Chunge's "new chess friend". Seeing that the fourth princess had no intention of vetoing her indifferent face, she dreamed that she went to call the little palace maid of Ci'an Palace.

On the warm couch, the fifth princess and Xiao Yuxi looked at Jing Yi at the same time, and then at each other, their eyes filled with shock. A lonely and proud figure like Jing Yi is actually willing to help them coax their children?

Brother Chun didn't think so much, and was happy because he had a playmate. He sat opposite Jing Yi like a little adult, and talked endlessly: "My grandmother can go to Double Land and play Ye Zi Card. I learned it from my grandmother. I won money on New Year's Eve..."

Jing Yi looked at the boy expressionlessly.

After a while, the palace maid brought the chessboard.

Jing Yi has been introverted since childhood and does not like to play with anyone. The female husband in the palace taught them to read, write, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the rules of the female red. What Jing Yi teaches is what he should do, but in private, other princesses like to do, such as Shuanglu, which is purely passing time, so Jing Yi did not learn it.

She didn't know. Chun Ge'er was very patient. He said over and over again that Jing Yi played a few games with Chun Ge'er. At the beginning of the two sets, he really lost. Later, he deliberately gave in to Chun Ge'er. Chun Ge'er didn't see it, and he was enjoying it. The Empress Dowager sent someone to call them to the banquet. Chun Ge'er said to Jing Yi with unsatisfactory: "I'll play with you next time!"

Jing Yi didn't answer the conversation.

~

After the dinner, the empress dowager was going to watch the show. Emperor Yanqing and the empress accompanied her one by one, followed by concubines such as Concubine Li, Concubine Shu, Concubine Rong. The other princesses were led by mothers, and Jing Yi walked behind the concubines alone, with indifferent expressions incompatible with the concubines around her.

When they sat down, the princesses were arranged together.

Jing Yi gave the seat next to the third princess to the fifth princess. She sat next to her, and the sisters whispered. Jing Yi looked at the stage and looked silently like a princess statue.

"Third brother, my fourth cousin is playing chess with me. She won't play double land and will lose all the time." Two rows behind Jing Yi, Brother Chun looked at Jing Yi's back and muttered to his brother in a low voice.

Xiao Ting sneered, "You're sleeping and dreaming." How could the cold and frosty fourth princess have the leisure to coax her younger brother? He is too lazy to coax her brother.

When his brother questioned him, Brother Chun was anxious and wanted to take his brother to confront the fourth princess. Xiao Ting reached out and bounced his brother, "Stay honestly, otherwise I won't take you into the palace next time."

Brother Chun gave up now.

The Empress Dowager probably liked Xiao Ting, her nephew, so the movement on the stage was so loud that she actually heard Xiao Ting's scolding. Looking back, she thought that Brother Chun could not sit still. Thinking that the children might prefer to watch the lanterns during the Chinese New Year, she said to the second princess kindly: "You sisters, go and watch the lanterns, and if you are sleepy, go back to the palace to rest."

Before the second princess could answer, the fifth princess stood up with a smile, "Grandma of the Emperor is so nice!"

Emperor Yanqing glanced at the fifth princess helplessly. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. Anyone who knows something should stay here to accompany the Queen Mother. However, his eyes accidentally glanced over Jing Yi, who had a cold face beside him. Emperor Yanqing's lips tightly pursed and continued to watch the show.

The second princess had to lead her three sisters to enjoy the lanterns, and Xiao Yuxi, Xiao Ting and Chun Ge'er also joined in halfway.

Being far away from the stage, Brother Chun could no longer hold back and ran to Jing Yi and said, "Fourth Cousin, you can accompany me to double land, right?"

Jing Yi was not sure, so he nodded.

Brother Chun looked at his brother proudly.

Xiao Ting pointed to the direction of Jinghu as if he hadn't heard the conversation here, saying, "Let's go to the lakeside, where the lights are the best."

The fifth princess was the first to agree, and Xiao Ting led the way in front. Brother Chun went to find his brother angrily, insisting on pulling him over to listen to Jing Yi testify for him. Xiao Ting rubbed his head and picked him up, not allowing him to talk nonsense anymore. When he arrived at the lakeside, the group walked slowly along the embankment to watch the lamp. Mingxin suddenly felt a stomachache and asked his master awkwardly.

Jing Yi asked her to go to the clean room first, and then said to the second princess and others: "You continue to enjoy the lanterns, I will sit here, and I will go back to the palace later."

The second princess wanted to stay with her, but Jing Yi thanked her and refused. She just wanted to sit alone.

The second princess looked at her pity, turned around and continued to move forward with the third and fifth princesses.

A circle of weeping willows planted on the shore of Jinghu Lake, and the lanterns were hung on the willow branches. The wind blew the lights and the lights on the water surface overlapped with the moonlight, and the shimmering lights. Jing Yi sat upright on a bench, staring at the reflection of the bright moon on the lake surface. Behind him was the ups and downs singing sounds from the other side of the stage.

While sitting, Yu Guang suddenly swept a figure, thinking that Mingxin was back, Jing Yi got up, but he didn't expect that just as he turned around, there was a strange person behind him. Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face was as gloomy as a ghost. Jing Yi was shocked, but the other party took advantage of the shock to pull her into her arms and covered her mouth at the same time.

He had a handkerchief in his hand, and Jing Yi's mouth and nose were blocked. He struggled desperately while trying to break free from the other party's clamp. But as he struggled, his body suddenly became weak and his vision gradually blurred. The lanterns shaking nearby became darker and darker until they merged into the night, leaving only darkness.

Jing Yi slowly closed her eyes.

The murderer quickly carried her to the lakeside and carefully put her into the water. The tiny sound of water was immediately swallowed by the sound of water slamming the shore. Seeing Jing Yi completely sinking under the water surface, the murderer hid as if Tathagata, and disappeared into the darkness that could not be illuminated by the light.

The princess who enjoyed the scenery disappeared, and the murderer who killed the people also left. The lakeside returned to silence again, but not long after, it was broken by the quarrels of the two brothers.

"Isn't it just a broken purse? If you lose it, you will lose it. Let the maid make another one for you."

"That was made for me by my mother!"

Brother Chun looked down at the ground and insisted on finding the purse he had just lost. Xiao Ting thought he was troublesome, but as he saw that the place separated from Jing Yi was getting closer, he became nervous inexplicably, and more often he was paying attention to the shore, trying to find the cold figure.

Unfortunately, I walked to the bench where Jing Yi had just sat, and Xiao Ting didn't see anyone.

Unable to tell why, Xiao Ting was a little disappointed. Just when he thought Jing Yi had returned to Fengyang Pavilion, Mingxin rushed over with a faint step. Seeing the Xiao brothers, Mingxin nodded from afar and looked around, she asked weakly: "Can the third son see my princess?"

Xiao Ting said to the bench with confusion, "She said she wanted to wait for you here..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found a jade pendant lying in the shadow under the bench. Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, then let go of his brother, squatted down to pick up the jade pendant, and was about to carefully look at the jade pendant pattern, Ming Xin next to him suddenly screamed: "This is the jade pendant left to the princess by Concubine Zhuang, and the princess never leaves her!"

Brother Chun didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but Xiao Ting's expression became solemn. Looking at the jade pendant and listening to the sound of the lake slamming the shore, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Ting's mind. He told his younger brother to stand there and don't move. He rushed to the lake a few steps, and with the lanterns on the trees, he saw a figure at the bottom of the lake, drifting away, almost invisible!

Xiao Ting was shocked and shocked when he encountered this situation for the first time in his life, but he quickly reacted, quickly took off his outer robe and hid Jing Yi's jade pendant in his sleeve bag and threw it to Mingxin. He turned around and jumped into the water, chasing the figure at the bottom of the water with instinct.

With the momentum that jumped down, Xiao Ting really caught the man in the water.

Pulling the person into his arms and confirming that this is Jing Yi. Xiao Ting was overjoyed, but the next moment, he suddenly panicked again!

It's over, I just thought about saving people, but I forgot that I was not watery!

Xiao Ting fluttered up in a hurry, but he was holding a unconscious princess in his arms, and he couldn't get out of the water no matter how he suffocated. It became more and more difficult to hold his breath, and the fear of death hit his heart. Xiao Ting finally looked at the woman in his arms. He wanted to let go of her and escape by himself. He met Jing Yi'an's beautiful face, but Xiao Ting held the back of her head like a devil, lowered his head to block the red lips that had been opened at some point...
