Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 891 Preparation
The girl's invitation came with a smile, and Li Ji's shoulders trembled slightly.Seven days later, he will fight this woman to the death at the Intermediate Ceremony, the deeper the relationship now, the stronger his sense of guilt will be at that time.

So he originally wanted to distance himself from them in Soochow, but he didn't expect that the sky would fail.

But it's better to keep the distance as soon as possible, it's good for her and for them.

If you are destined to be hurt, it is better to be a villain yourself.

Li Ji sighed in his heart and was about to refuse, but it was a pity that he had a teammate who couldn't wink by his side.

"Eat dinner? Did Her Royal Highness make it herself?" Zhao Guang stepped up the steps in three steps and two steps, and leaned forward with a smile, poked his head out from behind Li Ji, and looked at Ying Baoyue with a blindfolded smile, "Okay OK!"

What is good, can you, a county king, have a little ambition!

Li Ji took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Ying Baoyue looked at the excited Zhao Guang and smiled, "Most of them were made by An Ge and Aunt Yao, but I made dim sum before, An Ge and the others should be able to steam some."

"An Ge is cooking too?" Zhao Guang heard that his eyes became brighter, he squinted and didn't speak, just smiled.Hearing his changed address, Li Ji opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at Zhao Guang beside him with a strange expression.

The boy's suddenly bright eyes and the expression of a smile he couldn't hide made him so familiar, and he felt a long-lost stabbing pain in his heart.

"Second brother, you see that everyone's food is ready..." Zhao Guang also realized that something was wrong with Li Ji at this time, and pulled his sleeve with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you? You really don't want to stay to eat ?"

Li Ji closed his eyes, looked at the eyes of the young girl who was sitting on the bed and staring at him, nodded and bowed, "Then the next generation of the king would like to thank Her Royal Highness for the hospitality."

Ji Jiashu's eyes flashed when he heard this sudden and formal address that distanced the distance between the two parties.

Ying Baoyue also realized it, but smiled indifferently, "Where, a mere household meal is not a respect. Let's go."

……

……

After drinking and eating, people will feel warm.

The night was dark, and although there were still lights on the streets of Soochow, there were not many pedestrians.After practitioners from various countries arrived in Ruyang one after another, in order to control the public order, the King of Soochow issued a curfew order, and people were no longer allowed to go to the streets after Xushi.

However, people are allowed to hold a lantern festival every five days, which means to let everyone come out to let the wind go.Today is the day before the Lantern Festival. In order not to cancel the Lantern Festival tomorrow, the people in Ruyang City behaved very well, and the streets were empty.

Walking on the empty street, Zhao Guang hiccupped, looked at Li Ji who was silent beside him, endured it and asked, "Second Brother, did something happen between you and Your Highness the Princess?"

He has the badge of the king of the county and is not included in the curfew. He can go back to the king's mansion at night, which is why Li Ji insisted on dragging him out of Song Qian's house after dinner.

But Zhao Guang was quite reluctant when he was dragged out.

"Why do you ask that?" Li Ji's eyes fixed upon hearing this, and he turned to look at him quietly, "What can happen between me and her?"

Zhao Guang was taken aback. "It didn't happen if nothing happened," he muttered in a low voice, "Then why did you insist on leaving before? Don't you also like the dim sum made by Her Royal Highness? You ate seven of them."

Li Ji was dumb, and paused, "It's two different things."

"What are the two things?" Zhao Guang looked up at him, puzzled, "You mean to avoid suspicion? But we have lived together in the National Teacher's Mansion and in the Qing'an Academy for a long time. Just now Song Jizi prepared a guest room for me. , why do you have to take me back to that county palace?"

His county mansion left an old butler to guard the door, probably there are spider webs growing in the house!

Li Ji took a deep breath, looked at the dissatisfied young man beside him and said quietly, "This is Soochow, not Southern Chu."

"So?" Zhao Guang frowned.

"In Southern Chu, we are outsiders, and the National Teacher of Southern Chu is the elder. Although he is not usually there, he is the one who invited us to live in the National Teacher's Mansion in name," Li Ji said lightly, "No one can say what."

"But it's different in Soochow," Li Ji said. "The host should be you, so how can you borrow someone else's house? Besides..."

"Besides?" Zhao Guang frowned.

"Besides, there are no elders in Song Jizi's house, but there are four unmarried girls." Li Ji looked at Zhao Guang who understood, and his eyes dimmed. It's not a big problem to have a marriage contract, but there is still Miss Ji's family. Is it suitable for you, a county king who has never been married, to live there?"

"This... this is..." Zhao Guang rubbed his nose, and said a little embarrassedly, "I thought it was wrong, I thought it was the same as when I was in Nanchu."

Seeing Zhao Guang's expression changed, Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "What happened to you and Miss Ji's family?"

Zhao Guang didn't expect that the question would turn back to him so quickly, and quickly raised his head and waved to Li Jizhi, "I didn't do anything rude!"

"I didn't say what you did," Li Ji frowned, "I mean you..."

"Forget it," he paused when he remembered his own experience, but looked at Zhao Guang, who couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, and gritted his teeth, "Do you still remember your mother's identity? Don't get involved A girl."

The smile in Zhao Guang's eyes faded in an instant, and he reached out to touch his own eyes.

"I see, Second Brother." The boy's light brown eyes flashed, "I got carried away for a while."

With his identity, he cannot have a deep relationship with anyone.Although he is forgotten by those people now, he will be remembered when his cousins ​​are killed.

"I always remember," Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji and said with a wry smile, "It's just that I'm an ordinary person, and I'm not as ruthless as your second brother."

Just as Li Ji could bear the golden needle piercing his body, this person could also hide his heart from anyone to see.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

"I'm not trying to force you," Li Ji said after a pause, "I'm just reminding you that if you want to do anything, you must confirm that you will bear the price yourself, and don't drag others down."

This world treats women harsher than men.

A man must be clear in his heart.

"I will," Zhao Guang looked at the person beside him who would always choose to suffer by himself, and he gritted his teeth and nodded with emotion, repeating, "I will remember it in my heart."

"Actually, I'm not qualified to say anything about you, but I just don't want you to regret it in the future." Li Ji looked at the empty street, "You can go to the lantern festival tomorrow if you want, remember to protect them and keep them away from West Street."

"Well," Zhao Guang nodded, and was taken aback for a moment, "What about you? Second brother, won't you go?"

Although Zhaohua-kun's appearance may cause commotion on the streets...

"Tomorrow, the adoptive father is going to set up the Imperial Prayer Department," Li Ji looked back at him, "I'm going to help."

　Zhao Guang first appeared in Chapter 57, Brother, in the first volume. I don’t know how many readers have noticed my description of his appearance.
