Cut Frost

Chapter 54
"Three princesses!" Fang Qi was frightened when she saw her pale face, and hurriedly said: "Three princesses, you, don't panic, Colonel Chi will come into the palace this afternoon, we will find a way to meet, let's see first. Depending on what he thinks, there will always be a way."

There were already tears in Ning Jia's eyes, and before she could speak, it had already slipped down.

"Third princess, don't cry." Fang Qi hurriedly took out a silk towel to wipe away her tears and comforted, "When I meet Captain Chi, let him make up his mind."

Ning Jia cried and nodded.

"I don't know if Chi Rin can think of a way." Yu'er said secretly while lying on the soft couch.

Let's say that Chi Rin hurried home from Mengfu, and then argued with Chi Wuwei, but Chi Wuwei did not agree.

"Rin'er, the Chi family has today, and it is all the work of blood and sweat on the battlefield. How can your personal love be turned into nothing, and what's more, it may even bury the root of the disaster! For the father, you are not allowed to come here!" Chi Wuwei said sternly. .

The stakes are high, the rhetoric is fierce, and there is no room for it.

Chi Rin pleaded several times, but in the end it was fruitless, so he had to find another way.

Today is the first practice day in the small school field after the Muyun meeting.

Chi Rin hurried into the palace.

Crown Prince Xisu and other children entered the school grounds one after another.

Ning Jia stood under the begonia tree in the garden, holding a falling pink begonia flower in her hand and staring blankly.

Fangrong went out of the Dahong Palace Gate and went to the school grounds secretly.

Yu'er bumped into her from behind and smiled, "Why didn't you take me with you?"

"You dead fox! Come out soon!" Fangrong said anxiously.

"If you ask me to come out, I will come out?" Yu'er smiled.

Although Fangrong was not happy in her heart, Yu'er stood up to protect the third princess at Muyunhui. At that time, the red mist covered her eyes, and she couldn't see what she had done, but Fangrong was still thinking about this sentiment. Just hum a few words.

"Let's go, don't miss your princess' important event." Yu'er urged her.

Fangrong and Yu'er arrived at the school grounds, craned their necks at the door to look in, and saw Chi Rin already on the field.

However, Fangrong, a court lady, could not enter the venue and could only look outside.

And Chi Rin was concentrating on drawing the bow, and didn't see her.

An arrow flew out, but it flew without a shadow.

"Xiaowei Chi doesn't seem to be in good condition today, is there any discomfort?" Prince Xisu said with a slight smile.

"Laughing." Chi Rin put down the bow and arrow in his hand and stood aside to watch others draw bows and arrows.

"Why don't you fight the sword with me?" Xisu said.

Having said that, he took a sword in his hand, and drew another sword, and handed the hilt to Chi Rin.

Chi Rin took the sword and said, "Offend."

Xisu first opened the sword and stabbed him.

Chi Rin greeted the sword.

Every time Xisu competed with him, he always tried his best, but today he succeeded many times.

After a few rounds, Xi Su took the sword.

"Why not?" Chi Rin asked.

"Today's you are not my opponent." Xi Su said, looking at Chi Rin, it was meaningful.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers next to Wen, and Meng Hanzhen hit the bullseye with three arrows.

Xisu put away the long sword in his hand, and said to Chi Rin, "I'm a little tired. Will Captain Chi accompany me for a walk?"

"This..." Chi Rin hesitated.

Xisu looked at him, smiled slightly, and stepped out.

Chi Lin followed behind him.

When he got out of the school grounds, he saw Fangrong probing her brain outside.

"Fangrong." Xisu called.

Fangrong saw Xisu coming out, and was supposed to avoid it.

However, seeing Chi Rin following behind the prince, he instead greeted him and asked the prince to salute.

"I don't serve well in Jianjia Palace, but what are you doing here?" Xisu asked.

"Go back to His Royal Highness, the third princess has been tired of thinking about food and drink these days, so she sent slaves to ask His Highness the Prince to ask for a few pills for the last time." Fang Rong replied, but glanced at Chi Rin.

"You can go back now. When I go back to Danye Palace to pick it up, I can send it to her." Xisu replied with a smile.

"Yes." Fangrong saluted and got up, looked at Chi Rin a few times, but hesitated.

"Chief Commander Chi," Xisu turned to Chi Rin and said, "I still have some matters to discuss with you, so just walk with me."

Chi Rin listened and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Fang Rong's heart was settled, so she returned to Zhuanjia Palace.

Xisu led Chi Rin, first went back to Danye Palace to get Changxin Pill, and he came to Jianjia Palace.

Fang Jin got to the gate of the Dahong Palace, and Chi Rin had already seen a thin figure under the Begonia tree.

Since the meeting outside the palace, this is the first time I have seen her.

But in just a short time, the sky seems to have changed its color.

As I got closer, I saw that the tears were still wet on her face, and I didn't know she had cried a few times. She couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

Fang Qi and Fang Rong saw the prince and came in Chi Rin, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the other palace maids also knelt on the ground.

"Let's go." Xisu said.

Ning Jia heard the sound, glanced sideways at the two of them, glanced at Chi Rin's face once, and then walked over to greet Xisu.

Xisu looked at Ning Jia's face, frowned slightly, and said softly, "Ning Jia, I heard that you are not feeling well recently, so I brought you a few Cheongxin Pills for my brother."

As he spoke, he took out a red sandalwood box from his sleeve and said to Ning Jia.

"Thank you, big brother." Ning Jia took it and handed it to Fangqi.

"Three princesses." Chi Rin stepped forward to greet Ning Jia.

Ning Jia only nodded slightly to him.

"It's windy outside. If you're not feeling well, you should go indoors to avoid it." Xisu said to Ning Jia.

Ning Jia nodded and said, "Brother, please sit inside too."

"The begonias in the garden are blooming just right. I'll take a look here for my brother. Bring me some of your good tea." Xisu smiled at Ning Jia and sat at the stone table under the shade of the trees in the garden.

"Brother is optional." Ning Jia said.

Fangrong hurriedly took out the tea and poured a cup with Xisu.

Chi Rin stood aside, but did not sit.

Xisu said to Chi Rin: "Chief Commander Chi, Haitang in this garden naturally drives well, but there is another treasure in Jianjia Palace, which is ten times better than it, do you know?"

"Chi Rin doesn't know, but I hope you can teach me." Chi Rin replied.

"There is a begonia screen in this Jianjia Palace, which was embroidered by the third princess in the summer last year. It lasted for three months, and it was blooming like a life, so you should not miss it." Xisu said.

"I've heard of it before, but I haven't read it carefully." Chi Rin heard the words and continued.

"If you have time today, why don't you take a look at it." Xisu said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, please first." Chi Rin said.

"I've seen it before, let's see this new flower here." Xisu said.

"Three princesses, may I bother you?" Chi Rin asked Ning Jia.

Ning Jia looked at him and said softly, "Please."

First advance to the pear gate.

Chi Rin then entered the house.

Fang Qi also entered the house to serve.

Fang Rong waited beside Xi Su for orders.

Ning Jia led Chi Rin, walked inside, and came to the screen of Haitang.

Fang Qi was waiting by the pear flower gate.

The light pink begonia flowers on the screen are either in full bloom, or about to bloom but not yet open, or with bright branches and smiles, or slightly hidden under the leaves.

Needle, needle and thread, no worries.

Ning Jia looked at the screen of Begonia, and remembered his figure standing on the branch of Begonia.

"Ning Jia." Chi Rin walked to Ning Jia's side and called her softly.

Hearing the call, Ning Jia turned to look at him, trying to smile at him, but only two lines of tears fell.

Chi Rin stretched out her hand, wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a smile, "I cried again, and it's still the same."

My heart is also sad and unspeakable.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way." Chi Rin comforted softly.

Ning Jia looked at him, tears could not be stopped and rolled down drop by drop.

"Trust me..." Chi Rin said hoarsely, sighed softly, and hugged her tightly.

Under the soft couch, Yu'er sighed, "At least we finally meet, alas."

"This prince is a good matchmaker, how does he know that Chi Xiaowei is interested in the third princess?" Li Yuan was lying beside Yu'er.

Yu'er shook her head and said, "How deep is Chi Rin's hiding? The prince is probably the third princess's heart that he sympathizes with."

After a while, Chi Rin let go of Ning Jia, looked at no one in the house, and quietly took out a silver-white dagger from his sleeve, with a jade bead inlaid on the scabbard.

"Take it." Chi Rin handed it to Ning Jia.

Ning Jia took it over and wondered, "What is this for?"

Chi Rin leaned into her ear and whispered, "I asked Tianxuan Daoist to ask for it."

"Ah?" Ning Jia said in surprise, "Then this..."

Chi Rin pressed her hand and nodded to her.

"Concubine Cheng is here."

I heard reports from outside.

Chi Rin quickly let go of Ning Jia's hand.

"This Concubine Cheng really knows how to pick the time." Kurihara complained.

"That's right, it's really annoying." Yu'er also said.

"Concubine Cheng." Xi Su stood up to greet Concubine Cheng.

"Prince is exempt from the ceremony." Concubine Cheng said, walking inside.

Inside the house, Fangqi hurriedly knelt down and said loudly, "Concubine Cheng."

"Just wait outside." Concubine Cheng turned around and instructed Fen He and Lv Lui.

"Yes." Pink Lotus and Lvlui replied.

Ning Jia and Chi Rin just walked to the middle of the house, and Concubine Cheng has already stepped into the pear flower gate.

Seeing Chi Rin beside her, Ning Jia frowned with tears still on her face.

"Mother." Ning Jia bowed her knees to Concubine Cheng.

"I have seen Concubine Cheng." Chi Rin knelt down and saluted.

"All are exempt." Concubine Cheng said.

Looking at Ning Jia, he said to Chi Rin, "I have something to tell the third princess, Captain Chi should retire."

"Yes." Chi Rin saluted and exited the Pear Flower Gate.

Concubine Cheng walked over and closed the pear flower door, turned around and said solemnly, "Ning Jia, do you know what you are doing?"

"Mother..." Ning Jia lowered her head and said nothing.

"You are a dignified princess of the Huanyue Kingdom, how can you have a private meeting with your subordinates! If this is spread out, where will our royal face be put?" Concubine Cheng said gloomily.

Ning Jia lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Cheng shook her head, sighed, took her by the hand, and said softly, "Ning Jia, now the two Meng and Xiao families are asking to marry the princess, you have no fate with him, don't do it again. Think about it."

"Mother..." Ning Jia cried out, and she was already in tears.

"Don't cry." Concubine Cheng said, took out the silk towel, wiped away the tears for her, and added: "You guys have only played together since you were young, you are used to it better than others, and you will forget it when you become a relative. ."

"Mother, is there really, really no other way?" Ning Jia choked.

"The Meng family is galloping on the battlefield to keep the country safe; the Xiao family is in charge of internal affairs, and the people of Anhuan are all important officials in the court." Concubine Cheng said, "Ning Jia, you have to think about your father... "

Xisu and Chi Rin left the Jianjia Palace, and Chi Rin walked with his head down.

"Is there a good plan?" Xisu asked Chi Rin.

Chi Rin frowned and didn't answer.

"Maybe, you really don't have this fate..." Xisu sighed.

"His Royal Highness!" Chi Rin suddenly stopped and looked up at Xisu.

Xi Su also stopped and looked at him.

"Can you let me see the emperor?" Chi Rin asked.

"Meet the royal father?" Xi Su said in surprise, "With your current title and no moon crown, you can't meet the royal father yet."

"Chi Rin knows." Chi Rin cupped her hands to Xisu, "I hope His Royal Highness will be successful."

"This..." Xi Su pondered, "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."

"His Royal Highness has always loved the third princess, please, His Royal Highness, please let Chi Rin see the emperor!" Chi Rin looked at the prince with burning eyes.

After the second watch, Emperor Yongping was still in the Chongqing Hall holding candles to review the memorials.

The Chi-Vietnamese war lost two consecutive battles, with [-] casualties and the loss of two lieutenants.

It is necessary to replenish the troops and dispatch the generals.

Now that the Yufeng Kingdom has won the war, and the troops have turned back, they can fill this vacancy.

It's just that the Vietnam War has been delayed for a long time, and there is no good plan on how to end this war.

Emperor Yongping sat on the Panlong chair, raised a pen and meditated, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Father."

When he looked up, Prince Xisu knelt on the ground.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"Royal Father, I heard that both General Meng and Prime Minister Xiao's residence have proposed marriage to Emperor Father. I wonder if this is true?" Xisu said.

"That's right." Emperor Yongping nodded and said, "Get up."

"My son doesn't dare to get up." Xisu said.

"What?" Emperor Yongping wondered.

"The emperor cares about the people, and he also loves his children. I don't know about the proposal of the Meng and Xiao families. Does my sister know?" Xisu asked.

"Ningyang already knows." Emperor Yongping said.

"Second sister alone, it is difficult to have two, and the remaining one, I don't know what to do?" Xisu said.

"The three princesses are also at the right age to be married, and the two are good match." Emperor Yongping said.

"Is third sister willing?" Xisu asked.

"This is a good marriage, why not?" Emperor Yongping said.

"Today there is a person who wants to see the father, please ask the father for permission." Xisu said.

"Oh?" Emperor Yongping said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"This person hasn't been able to discuss matters early, so I'm asking to see you tonight." Xisu said.

There was already a person over there, kneeling behind Xi Su, and bowing to Emperor Yongping.

"The last general Chi Rin sees the emperor." Chi Rin said.

"Chief Commander Chi?" Emperor Yongping was a little surprised.

"Exactly, Chi Rin has something to ask the emperor, so he disturbed the holy driver, and please forgive me." Chi Rin said.

"To face the Holy Spirit without being summoned is a serious sin, do you know that?" Emperor Yongping said solemnly.

"Chi Rin knows very well. It's just that today's matter is urgent, Chi Rin risked his death to ask to see him, I hope the emperor will listen to Chi Rin's words, and Chi Rin will die without regret." Chi Rin said.

"Okay, then let's hear it, why is it so reckless?" Emperor Yongping said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chi Rin raised his head, looked at Emperor Yongping and said, "Chi Rin wants to ask the Emperor to marry the third princess."

"What?" Emperor Yongping said in surprise.

"Chi Rin has played with the three princesses since he was a child, and he knows his temperament and temperament well. If he gets the third princess as his wife, Chi Rin will treat her as a treasure and treat her life and death." Chi Rin said.

Emperor Yongping was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "So that's the case..."

He stood up, approached Chi Rin, stretched out his hand and pulled him up.

"Your Majesty?" Chi Rin didn't know what he meant and looked at him suspiciously.

Xisu also stood up and looked at Emperor Yongping.

"Chi Lin, the solitary king also hopes that you can be my royal consort, but you should already know the current situation." Emperor Yongping said.

Chi Rin heard the words, knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Chi Rin treats the third princess sincerely, please fulfill Chi Rin's sincerity."

"You have come this far tonight, the solitary king knows your sincerity, but the two Mengxiao families have already said that the solitary king can't ignore it." Emperor Yongping patted Chi Rin's shoulder and said, "Go back."

"Your Majesty..." Chi Rin was still waiting to speak.

Emperor Yongping had already said, "Changfu, go back to the palace."

"Yes." Chang Fu replied.

Emperor Yongping walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty," Chi Rin fell to the ground again and pleaded loudly, "Chi Rin has nothing to ask for, but asks the third princess to be his wife, and asks the emperor..."

"Chief Commander Chi," Emperor Yongping interrupted him, turned to him and said solemnly, "I think of your sincerity, the crime of trespassing in the Chongqing Palace today, the solitary king will not be held accountable. But the princess' wedding is the country's For important matters, the foreign minister should not talk more."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves out of the main hall gate.

"Your Majesty..." Chi Rin was still lying on the ground, his face full of despair.

"Get up." Xi Su stepped forward to help Chi Rin up.

"Why?" Chi Rin asked in pain.
