"How can you blame you?" Ji Xiaotang shook his head.

Even if Qi Younian is strong enough, unless he is at the city for Ji Xiaotang, Empress Dowager Han will not be able to give Ji Xiaotang to him.

"It would be great if I never knew Changning." Qi Younian said again.

"Ayou, Empress Dowager Han did this for more than just Changning." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian.

As long as you think about it for a moment, Qi Younian also understood this truth.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Qi Younian was hit and even felt a little guilty.

"Ayou, this is not like you anymore." Ji Xiaotang pulled her hand back. She knew that her departure would cause a big blow to Qi Younian. But she didn't want Qi Younian to be depressed and even unable to recover because of this.

"Ayou, you are the God of War in the army. I am also my eternal God of War. I don't want to see you like this." On the battlefield, Qi Younian should be invincible in every battle, making the enemy frightened. In front of her, what Ji Xiaotang hopes to see is always the smiling Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang never wants to see the frustrated Qi Younian.

"Ayou, this is my grandmother's hope, and it is also my hope."

No matter what happens, they should not give up and never give up.

"Ayou, this is your agreement." Ji Xiaotang then stretched out a hand to Qi Younian again.

At this moment, Qi Younian's eyes had lit up again, completely removing the depressed aura that had just passed away. He seemed to be a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, with a restrained sharpness, but also natural power.

"Xiaotang, thank you for waking me up. The descendants of the Qi family will never give up."

Qi Younian stretched out his hand, clapped Ji Xiaotang as a sworn, and then held Ji Xiaotang's hand tightly again.

No matter what, he couldn't bear to leave Ji Xiaotang.

Others don’t know the risk of Ji Xiaotang entering the palace. After understanding the cause of Qin Min’s death, he understood the risks faced by Ji Xiaotang. It is precisely because of this that he blames himself so much.

"Ayou, I won't be in trouble." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian confidently. Although she was not 100% sure, she had to make Qi Younian believe it 100%.

"Yes, Xiaotang, you will definitely not be in trouble." Qi Younian said with great confidence.

The two looked at each other. This time, they were a little confused about what they were planning in their hearts.

But there is one thing they are sure of, and they are all trying their best to plan for each other.

"Ayou, grandmother, please kowtow for me a few more times." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian that the night was long, but the time belonged to them was very limited.

"Um."

"Although you are sad, you cannot completely ignore your body. You have to eat on time and take a break every day, and your body is not iron-clad."

"Um."

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian said a lot until the drums rang in the third hour, and Qi Younian had to leave.

The two people face each other, thousands of words, and thousands of words turned into two words.

"Take care of yourself."

...

The next day, Ji Xiaotang said goodbye to Mrs. Ji, Mr. Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Xiaoyun and others, and brought Mrs. Cheng, Jin'er, Xiu'er, Yao'er and Bi'er to the second gate.

Qi Younian and Qin Zhen were already waiting at the door, and what surprised Ji Xiaotang even more was that Qin Lin had also come.

They all came to send Ji Xiaotang into the palace.

However, Ji Xiaotang couldn't bear such a pomp.

"I have received all the feelings of the two princes, but the two princes are also busy. Please ask the two princes to go back. Ayou will send me there, which is enough." After just a few greetings, Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen and Qin Lin.

Ji Xiaotang's attitude is true.

Qin Zhen was used to seeing Ji Xiaotang like this and didn't care. Qin Lin and Ji Xiaotang were not so close. The two of them were always polite. He was not angry at all after suddenly ate a soft nail like Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin still insisted on sending Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang stood firm and refused to get on the bus.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin were unable to do so, so they had to say goodbye and leave in disappointment.

Ji Xiaotang got on the carriage. Master Ji Er was sitting in a sedan chair, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaomu rode a horse and escorted Ji Xiaotang to the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Someone had already reported to the inside, and Manager Zhang brought the palace maids and nannies out to greet Ji Xiaotang. However, Master Ji and Qi Younian did not have such treatment. The two could only say goodbye to Ji Xiaotang at the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Manager Zhang took Ji Xiaotang directly to Cining Palace to meet Empress Dowager Han.

In midsummer, the flowers in Cining Palace are blooming, which is very different from Ji Xiaotang's previous two visits.

Ji Xiaotang met Empress Dowager Han in the main hall of Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Han smiled and after Ji Xiaotang gave her salute, she asked Ji Xiaotang to sit next to her.

"...Why are you not very good? You young people rely on your youth and don't care about anything. If you fall into the root of the disease, you will know that it is amazing when you reach my age and you will never be careless." Empress Dowager Han asked about Ji Xiaotang's illness first. After Ji Xiaotang said that it was almost done, she complained to Ji Xiaotang intimately.

It's just a slander, but it's just a very kind and considerate word.

"You just happened to come to the palace. I will call the Imperial Hospital judge to come and take a closer look. I have everything here." As Empress Dowager Han said this, he sent two brocade boxes, but they were all very precious medicinal materials for nourishing yin and nourishing the body.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly thanked and accepted it.

As soon as she entered the palace, Empress Dowager Han received such a treat and rewarded him. In the eyes of everyone, she was obviously very favored by Empress Dowager Han.

"I had already been summoned to the palace, but there was nothing else to do. I also wanted you to talk to me." Empress Dowager Han told Ji Xiaotang again.

Now, the selection of female officials in the palace has gone through the first and second interviews. All the girls who have passed the second interview have been arranged to live in Chuxiu Palace. In the past two days, Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing and Empress Han will be personally selected.

"Of course you don't have to squeeze in with them, just live with me in the Cining Palace. It's convenient to talk sooner or later."

Empress Dowager Han's words determined Ji Xiaotang's residence in the palace.

Ji Xiaotang's residence was arranged in the side hall of Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Han chatted with Ji Xiaotang for a while, never mentioning Qin Min, let alone any reference to marriage. Of course, Ji Xiaotang would not mention it rashly. Finally, Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked about Qi Younian.

"Why did you hear Manager Zhang say that in addition to your father sending you, the little marquis is here too?" Empress Dowager Han asked casually, and didn't even look at Ji Xiaotang, but the light in the corner of her eyes did not let go of the subtle changes in Ji Xiaotang's expression.

Ji Xiaotang smiled, smiling calmly.

"It was my father and Ayou who sent me together."
