Chapter 27 Keep a low profile
The swing was built on a tree with a height of three or four feet. It took a while to stop the swing. Ye Lingfeng jumped off and walked to the pavilion not far away, drinking a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

Ji Zehao followed at ease, "Next month is my father's birthday, so I came here on purpose."

specially?Emperor Beiyan's birthday will be at the end of next month, why come back so early?
Just as he was talking, Ji Zehao's subordinates came over with a box in their hands, Ji Zehao took it, and handed it to Ye Lingfeng as if offering a treasure, "Ling'er, take a look, this is the gift I gave you this time. "

But it's a pity, Ye Lingfeng didn't want to bear the kindness of his Fourth Highness, Ye Lingfeng didn't accept it at all, and gave him a blank look, "Ji Zehao, do you think I still lack some rare and precious things? ?” Although she is not a member of the royal family, the royal family may not have what she has.

Her father's war trophies were all picked out by herself first and then given to the palace, okay? !
"Ling'er..." Ji Zehao still had baby fat on his face, and he acted aggrieved and sad at this moment, which really made people want to step forward and squeeze him even more.

Ye Lefeng couldn't hold it back, so he raised his hand and pinched his face, "Why are you gaining weight again?"

"Ling'er, open it up and have a look." The honorable Ji Zehao was not angry at all when he was offended, but instead had a smirk on his face, looking at Ye Lingfeng waiting for credit.

Ye Lefeng didn't take the box, and withdrew his hand, "I don't want the gift from you." She wanted to accept his gift, and after that, there would be gifts from His Highness the Prince, and gifts from the Empress.

And whether it is the prince or the empress, she doesn't want to accept it.

"Ling'er." Ji Zehao looked at her sadly, "You really don't want to watch?"

"dont see."

"Okay then..." Then he could only open it by himself.

Ji Zehao opened the long box at once. The box was not a treasure, but a dagger inlaid with gems.

When Ye Lingfeng saw this dagger, he knew it was a good thing. When he saw Ji Zehao open it, it revealed a blade that was thinner than a cicada's wing, but extremely sharp.

The dagger is small and light.

It is a good weapon suitable for self-defense and killing, and it is suitable for home and travel.

"Master said that this dagger was forged by famous masters hundreds of years ago, and the selected black iron is the hardest part. I tried it, and it can split a [-]-kilogram boulder."

"..." Ye Lingfeng didn't hear what Ji Zehao said at all, she took the dagger, the sharp blade, the blade glowed coldly, reflecting her face.

It fits in the hand and is easy to carry. She is not physically strong and often encounters assassins. It is very suitable for self-defense with this dagger.

But... this thing belongs to Ji Zehao.

"Ling'er, as soon as I saw this dagger, I thought it was suitable for you. You can see that the ruby ​​on the handle is also the one you girls like."

Such a good thing, Ye Lefeng really wanted to accept it, but when she thought about accepting it, she became annoyed again, and glared at Ji Zehao, "Can't you keep a low profile when you give gifts?"

As everyone knows, it hurts if she refuses now, but it's even more troublesome if she accepts.

"What do you mean, if I keep a low profile, you will accept it?" Ji Zehao blinked his round eyes with anticipation on his face.

"Forget it." Ye Lefeng really likes this dagger, it is a good thing that cuts iron like mud, and the most important thing is that it is easy to use, so she should accept it.

"I want something, old gauge, what do you want me to return?" She didn't take advantage of him.

"I...can I have a purse embroidered by you yourself?" Ji Zehao mentioned the gift he wanted, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"It's not that you don't know that I don't understand female celebrities." Ye Lefeng asked Gu Yan to put away the gift and put it back in the room.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you are ugly..."

"Ji Zehao, do you dare to say that the things I embroider are ugly?" Ye Lingfeng glared at him, "I just don't embroider that well. Dad said, because my mother died young, I, who didn't have a mother to teach women red That's what children do." It's definitely not because she doesn't have the heart to learn.

The servants had already been waved away by winking people. At this time, there were only Ji Zehao and Ye Lingfeng in the small courtyard. Hearing Ye Lingfeng's words, Ji Zehao said in agreement, "Me too So I think, Ling'er, you can embroider one for me, just a few stitches, no need to embroider patterns."

Ye Lingfeng glanced at him, "You, the fourth prince, are already so poor that you have no money to spend?"

In the end, Ye Lingfeng still agreed to the request of His Royal Highness Fourth Highness, she would still embroider a few stitches.Hearing that Ji Zehao had just returned from his journey, he couldn't be driven away anyway, so he was taken to live in the outer courtyard.

Fan Shuang came over with the girl's things, and looked at Ye Lingfeng sadly, "Master, do you really want your slaves to do it for you?" Did you agree to embroider it yourself?
"Well, I'll tie the knot in the end." This is almost embroidering by hand.After thinking about it a bit too much, she changed course again, "Give me two needles."

"..." Gu Yan and Fan Shuang looked at each other, speechless.

Ji Zehao asked people to prepare water for bathing, and waved away all the servants, leaving only his personal servant to wait on him.

Without the innocent look in front of others, Ji Zehao looked exhausted, "Did you send a letter to Concubine Mother?"

"Return to Your Highness, the letter has been delivered to Empress Hui Concubine."

"The prince returns, and the women in the harem will feel uneasy again." Ji Zehao sneered.

The boy dared not answer.

The imperial palace, whether it is the harem or the former court, has always been a place where you compete for it. Ji Zehao has the most love from Emperor Beiyan, so how could those people feel at ease to let him grow up.

Other princes, when they were so young, were mothers protecting their sons, but Ji Zehao was the other way around. His mother and concubine were really weak women, so he had to protect his mother and concubine well.

Beiyan Imperial Palace Xianxi Palace

A woman about 30 years old, dressed in plain satin, stood demurely in the yard, her gentle face full of expectation.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time to go. His Highness will arrive in Yandu tomorrow. If he sees bruises on your eyes, he will feel distressed."

Concubine Hui smiled softly, "I just miss Hao'er, and Hao'er has been away for more than half a year, so I miss Hao'er very much."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness must miss you too." The palace maid stepped forward to help Concubine Hui.

"Ah."

As a woman in the palace, Concubine Hui has no other ambitions. She just wants her and her children to grow up safely. As for the battle for the crown prince, she has never been interested in it. She followed him to the palace to spend her old age in peace.

As for her true love...

Thinking back to the time when she followed Beiyan Emperor wholeheartedly into the palace regardless of her family's persuasion, she believed in him and loved him, but what happened?
