Friends?
The two of them walked and finally arrived at the entrance of the Grand Canal Courtyard.
Outside the door, two imperial bodyguards solemnly stood on both sides with long swords. Ji Yunshu had passed by the Grand Canal Courtyard several times, but every time, the main gate was tightly shut. Now, the gate was opened to welcome the young master inside.
Wei Yi tilted his head and tilted his neck as he tugged at Ji Yunshu's sleeve.
"Brother, where is this place?"
She pointed at the plaque above the gate. "Do you recognize those words?"
"I recognize it. It's called Guang …" She stared at it in a daze as she scratched her chin with a finger, unable to continue reading.
She narrowed her eyes at him and patiently explained, "Grand Canal Courtyard. That character is called Canal. Do you remember it?"
"Remember, it's called Canal."
He was extremely excited!
At this moment, the corners of Ji Yunshu's mouth curled up. Her smile was bright and beautiful, carrying a trace of pampering.
He walked up the steps and arrived at the entrance of the Grand Canal Manor.
Two guards stopped her.
"Who is it?"
"This one is here to see Prince Rong."
The guards looked at each other and asked, "Is it Teacher Ji?"
Oh, that bastard actually explained everything!
She nodded lightly.
Only then did the two guards retreat. One of them said, "Mister, please follow me. His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."
Very long? Didn't they say it was seven in the morning?
It was only seven in the morning!
Ji Yunshu brought Wei Yi with her and followed the guard inside.
The Grand Canal Courtyard was originally the residence of a wealthy family. Later, when the entire family moved to the capital, it had been empty for a long time. It was said that the Grand Canal Courtyard was very spacious and luxurious. Whether it was the furnishings or the items inside, they were all of the best quality!
Now that he saw it today, it was as he had expected.
Even the entrance hall of the front yard took a long time to walk.
From time to time, Wei Yi tugged at Ji Yunshu's sleeves, twisting his body and looking around curiously.
After a while, he pointed at the winter lotus in the lotus pond and exclaimed, "My house has it too."
After a while, he pointed at a big cypress tree and exclaimed, "My house has one too."
After a while, he pointed to a Pi Xiu stone statue, "My house also has one."
Good, good, good. Your house has everything. Your house has everything.
My family doesn't have it!
Those who didn't know better would think that she was carrying a burden.
Of course, that was what Jing Rong believed.
When the imperial bodyguard led Ji Yunshu to the pavilion in the backyard, Jing Rong saw Wei Yi sticking close to her. His hands were tugging at her sleeves.
If he wasn't a burden, then what was he?
Why did she bring another person, and a man at that?
Jing Rong sat inside and poured himself a cup of tea. The aroma of the tea permeated the entire pavilion.
Ji Yunshu cupped her hands in greeting. "This humble one greets Prince Rong."
At the same time, because Wei Yi was holding onto Ji Yunshu's sleeves, when she raised her hands, Wei Yi couldn't help but move forward and stand in front of Ji Yunshu.
Jing Rong sipped his tea and looked at Wei Yi from head to toe with dissatisfaction. He coldly glared at Ji Yunshu. "Is this your lover?"
Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to speak, the silly boy laughed in a daze.
"What is a lover? It looks like a steamed bun. Can it be eaten? "
Puff!
Jing Rong had just taken a sip of tea, but he almost spat it out. His brows were tightly knitted, and his face was full of confusion.
'Where did this evildoer come from?'
Ji Yunshu stepped forward and pulled Wei Yi's arm. She explained, "Your Highness, this is my friend. His brain isn't that bright, and his words are strange. Please don't mind him."
"Your friend? His brain isn't that bright? " Jing Rong repeated her words. He pondered for a moment and seemed to understand. He nodded his head. "What's his name?"
Wei Yi rushed to answer. "My name is Wei Yi. Wei as in seat, one as in person."
'Aiya!
Big Brother, can you not speak? '
Ji Yunshu's expression stiffened and her eyes twitched. She sighed inwardly. 'In any case, you are still my' friend '. Aren't you losing face on my head?'
Wei Yi didn't seem to care and even had a smug expression on his face.
'Hmm, I'm not wrong!'
Ji Yunshu hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, Wei as in defense, Yi as in vigor."
She thought that Jing Rong would look at her with disdain, but he was very curious. His eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of silver light as he examined Wei Yi from head to toe. His lips curled into a playful smile.
"Teacher Ji is so smart. How could he be so muddle-headed? This Prince feels that Wei Yi as in seat, one as in person."
"That's right, that's right." Wei Yi nodded his head frantically.
Jing Rong stood up and walked to Wei Yi. His smile became even wider. "Wei Yi, do you know what it means to be courteous and respectful?"
"What is it?"
"Take a guess!"
"Teacher didn't teach me that. Mother didn't teach me that. Father also didn't teach me that." Jing Rong muttered to himself. He pondered for a moment before turning to Ji Yunshu. "Big Brother, do you know?"
'I know! Of course I know!'
To sum it up, a gentleman doesn't snatch what others love!
'But, why did Jing Rong ask this question?'
Black lines appeared on Ji Yunshu's forehead. She was too lazy to think about it. Her expression sank. "Your Highness, this humble one still has to report the case of the five charred corpses to you.
"So, Teacher still remembers that you have business to attend to. This Prince thought that you brought your friend over to drink tea with me!" The word 'friend' coming out of his mouth was particularly clear.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. If Your Highness dislikes him for being noisy, this humble one will let him leave."
Jing Rong raised his hand. "There's no need. Those who enter are guests. This Prince has no reason to refuse a guest outside the door." He called out, "Lang Po."
Suddenly, a silhouette scuttled into the pavilion and stood beside Jing Rong.
"Your Highness, what orders do you have?" Lang Po bowed and asked.
'Wow! Brother, where have you been hiding all this time? Why did you suddenly come out without even greeting me? '
Jing Rong said, "Take Teacher Ji's friend to the courtyard to rest. Let him play with whatever he wants. Let him eat whatever he wants. Whatever he wants, give it to him. In short, don't be negligent."
"Yes."
Lang Po stepped forward and stood beside Wei Yi. He lowered his head and said, "Young master, this way please."
Wei Yi didn't agree. He shrank his body behind Ji Yunshu and shook his head. "No, I want to follow Big Brother. I'll go wherever Big Brother goes!"
"This …" Lang Po was at a loss for words.
Ji Yunshu glanced at Wei Yi, who was behind her. She said in an amiable tone, "Wei Yi, if you still want to follow me, then be obedient and wait for me in the courtyard. When I'm done with my business, I'll come find you."
"Big Brother."
"Go." Her voice was full of weight.
Wei Yi felt extremely wronged. His pair of clean hands grabbed Ji Yunshu's sleeves for a long time before slowly loosening.
"Then, Big Brother, you must come find me. Otherwise, I won't be able to find my way home."
"Don't worry, I'll come find you."
After getting a response, Wei Yi reluctantly left. He followed Lang Po out of the pavilion, looking back three times with every step.
It was as if they were parting for life and death!
However, Wei Yi and Ji Yunshu didn't notice that Jing Rong's face was already very dark.
Not only was it dark!
