Chapter 160 Phoenix of the Empire (9)
Maybe when it comes to Ji Xingzhi's issue, she can't be sure of winning, after all, she can't grasp his weakness.
Since you can't catch it, let yourself be his weakness!
A thought flashed through Jian Ming's mind, and under the leadership of the royal guards, several people walked towards Yi'an Palace.
Lined with green trees, red walls and golden tiles, the imperial palace of the Chinese Empire follows the construction of thousands of years ago, full of ancient charm and luxurious atmosphere.Instead of stepping on the most common asphalt and cement roads in the contemporary era, the roads are paved with bluestone bricks, which are simple and thick in the sun.
Yi'an Palace, the residence of the emperor and empress, does not look resplendent from the outside, but it is exquisitely furnished and looks low-key and luxurious.
"Your Majesty was talking, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Jian came." Seeing the two of them entering the door, Aunt Qiong, the maid in charge of Yi'an Palace, rushed up to welcome them, and said with a smile.
"Meet the empress."
"Mother."
The two greeted Aunt Qiong, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the Queen coming out from the bead curtain, Jian Ming blinked, and quickly curtseyed.
"You don't need to be too polite." The queen smiled and waved her hands. Her well-maintained face was full of kindness. She walked to the sofa in the hall first, and after she sat down gracefully, she greeted the two of them: "Don't stand still, sit down."
Jian Ming smiled lightly, and sat down on a single sofa with Princess Qinglan face to face.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is here." A few people chatted for a while before Aunt Qiong came in and said with a salute.
"Ah Jing is here, just in time, you guys haven't seen each other for a long time!" The queen's eyes brightened obviously, she glanced at Jian Ming, and said with deep meaning: "I remember Ah Ming and A Jing when they were young. The relationship is still quite good, how come it becomes rusty when you grow up."
The corners of Jian Ming's mouth twitched, empress, why don't you be so obvious!
She complained secretly in her heart, but she smiled calmly on her face: "His Royal Highness has a lot of things to do every day, so I am really embarrassed to disturb you on weekdays."
"It's all friendship since childhood. There are many exchanges between friends, so how can you say you're bothering me, Ah Jing?" Just as he was speaking, Ji Jingxing had stepped into the room, and the queen squinted her eyes and turned her attention to him.
"What the empress mother said is true." Ji Jingxing saw Jian Ming as soon as he entered the door, he understood what the empress meant in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "If you have time, call those few, let's talk about it."
"I've met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." In this situation, Jian Ming responded with a smile.
If the original owner had seen Ji Jingxing's attitude, he would have been overjoyed, but Jian Ming knew that Ji Jingxing's reaction was just for the empress to see.Although there is a favorability of 30, the friendship between the two is not as familiar as it seems.
The following small talk, Jian Ming felt rather dull, the Queen's thoughts were already written on her face, all she could do was answer with a smile.Everyone saw Jian Ming's reaction, and the queen felt quite sorry. After all, Jian Ming was a very suitable candidate for the crown princess no matter in terms of status or personal qualities.It's just that the attitude of the other party is obviously not enthusiastic. After all, today is not the feudal society of the past. Although the imperial power is supreme, most of the time, the royal family cannot force it.
"It's getting late, why don't we have dinner together." The queen looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but suggested with a smile.
"Empress, you can wait for the emperor to come back together. Jian Ming and I have already made an appointment, so we won't accompany you." Princess Qinglan said with a smile when she heard the words, glanced at Ji Jingxing, and secretly gave the empress Made a look.
Seeing this, the queen covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, I won't participate in the affairs of you young people."
Princess Qinglan accepted with a happy smile, and then the three of them saluted and said goodbye.
"Brother Dahuang has something important to do right now. If you have nothing to do, let's have dinner together. Maybe you and my brother and sister haven't chattered for a long time." As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Yi'an Palace, Princess Qinglan turned her head to look at Ji Jingxing said with a smile.
Ji Jingxing glanced at Jian Ming whose expression had changed slightly from the corner of his eye, thought of something, and nodded cheerfully.
Seeing this, Jian Ming couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. The Empress and Princess Qinglan obviously wanted to match her and Ji Jingxing, but they didn't know that it was absolutely impossible for them in this life.She bit her lower lip with a sigh, and looked up at Princess Qinglan: "Princess and His Royal Highness are chatting about old times, and Jian Ming will not disturb you."
"It's all reminiscing about the old days. That's not right. It's rare that I have time today. Otherwise, I'd go and ask the second emperor brother to see if he's free." Princess Qinglan obviously had a good grasp of Jian Ming's thoughts at the moment. , she squinted her eyes, seemingly unintentionally said.
But Jian Ming sighed, if Ji Xingzhi really came, it would be the most troublesome thing for her.She frowned imperceptibly, stopped talking nonsense, and nodded in agreement.
The private room for dinner was reserved by Princess Qinglan early on. Seeing this, Jian Ming couldn't help wondering if it was planned by her earlier.Jian Ming has always been indifferent to Western food, but obviously the other two are used to it, so she can't say anything at this moment, so she just used it hastily.
"You don't like the steak?"
Princess Qinglan said she was going to the bathroom, but she hadn't come back for more than ten minutes, so there were only two people left in the box.Jian Ming glanced at the door that was still closed, curled her lips depressedly, and then put down the knife and fork in her hand.Seeing that two-thirds of the steak on her plate was uneaten, Ji Jingxing couldn't help but look up at her.
Hearing this, Jian Ming blinked in surprise, and then explained rather embarrassedly: "I haven't had Western food for a long time, and I'm not used to it."
"You should have said it earlier, so that we can change to Chinese food." A smile appeared in Ji Jingxing's eyes when he heard the words, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, sipped his red wine, and said leisurely: "I'm afraid Qinglan won't come back, why don't we go out for a walk?" Go shopping, and have a supper later, it’s rare to talk about it, I can’t make you hungry.”
Hearing such straightforward words, Jian Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared in his eyes: "Since His Royal Highness suggested it, Jian Ming is naturally extremely happy."
After speaking, the two chatted for a few more words, then got up and left the western restaurant.
"The Dongdu Night Market in Shengjing City is also second to none in China. Although I have never been there, the people seem to praise it quite a lot. Why don't you go and see it?" The two of them were walking on the street wearing their newly purchased peaked caps. Ji Jingxing suddenly Suggest.
Jian Ming was a little surprised at Ji Jingxing's very common people's thoughts, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile.Dongdu Night Market is not far from where they are now, so the two decided to take a walk there.
As soon as Fang stepped into the night market area, noisy voices scrambled into his ears. Jian Ming looked at the bustling flow of people in sight, and the atmosphere was completely different from the elegant and formal western restaurant, so he couldn't help but curl his lips.
"It really is very lively." Seeing this, Ji Jingxing couldn't help but sigh slightly. Words and images can never be more emotional than what he saw with his own eyes.
Regarding the etiquette and etiquette of the nobles and the royal family, please don't be too serious. After all, it is the 21st century that has experienced freedom of thought. Even if there is a constitutional monarchy, the rules cannot be as strict as before.Of course, this is the author's own idea, and everyone can express their opinions.
ps: The author has been very busy these days, the update is very slow, it will take a few days to return to normal, please forgive me ::>_<::
