Outside the Jiangning Governor's Mansion.
Cai Wenji slowly got off the carriage.
In her hand, she tightly grasped the Pisces jade pendant given to her by Ying Yuan.
That's a yin-yang fish.
It is made of the most precious jade in the world.
Priceless.
However, in Cai Wenji's mind, the priceless value of this jade pendant was not due to its material.
It is an unforgettable memory that is worth remembering for a lifetime.
My thoughts drift back to my childhood.
When Ying Yuan handed the jade pendant to her, her biological mother was already seriously ill.
At the last moment of her life, Ying Yuan's biological mother, who was then the imperial concubine of the Qin Dynasty, called her to her side.
He instructed, "If one day Yuan'er loses his status as a prince, becomes destitute, or even in danger of his life, are you willing to be with him through thick and thin?"
Cai Wenji, who was still young at the time, had already guessed that something bad might happen in the future.
But she still did not hesitate at all, and responded solemnly: "I am willing to follow you through life and death."
The imperial concubine looked at the jade pendant hanging around her waist, and a smile suddenly appeared on her pale face. She continued to ask:
"If one day you were to marry Yuan'er, even if it meant being a slave, would you still be willing?"
"I do!"
"If one day he needs you to make a sacrifice, would you still be willing?"
"I do!"
"If one day..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I am willing to do whatever you want."
"Okay, from now on, this Pisces jade pendant is yours."
“…”
The sounds of the past are still ringing in my ears.
Cai Wenji did not disappoint the imperial concubine.
She has been alone all these years.
She has always been silently accompanying Ying Yuan.
Even if the other person is far away in Xianyang and she is in Jiangnan.
She has always been there for him in her own way.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the gate of the governor's mansion, but was stopped by two imperial guards.
She bowed and said, "I am Cai Yan, a commoner. My father is Cai Yong, and the current Right Prime Minister Cai Jing is my uncle.
I have an urgent matter and would like to see His Majesty the Emperor. I hope you two military officers can inform him."
In recent days, there have been too many people who want to see Ying Yuan.
If Cai Wenji had not brought out the two big bosses, Cai Jing and Cai Yong, she would have been kicked out by now.
Of course, as long as she can see Ying Yuan, everything will be easy.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Cai."
The soldier clasped his fists and planned to go and inform Zhao Yun first.
Just as he was about to leave, Cai Wenji looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said reluctantly, "General, please stay.
Please deliver this jade pendant to His Majesty."
Hearing the sound, the soldier took the jade pendant and held it in his hand.
After that, he handed the jade pendant to Zhao Yun and conveyed Cai Wenji's words.
When Zhao Yun heard that she was Cai Yong's daughter, he did not dare to hesitate and hurried to report to Ying Yuan.
After all, Cai Yong is a great scholar of our time and was once your Majesty's teacher.
And this jade pendant might be a token of trust.
In short, there is no time to delay.
When Ying Yuan heard who was coming, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Who are you talking about? Cai Yan, Cai Wenji?"
This moment.
He also recalled some memories from his childhood.
He and his predecessor have long been one.
Indivisible.
The emotions and memories hidden in his previous life are naturally his as well.
I think of the slightly immature little girl when I was young.
Unconsciously, the corners of Ying Yuan's mouth rose slightly and he smiled.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun handed the jade pendant to him again.
After he took the jade pendant, childhood memories completely flooded into his mind.
"Your Majesty, do you... want to see?"
Zhao Yun said.
He could keenly feel that the emperor and the girl were old acquaintances.
For some reason, Ying Yuan was actually a little excited at this moment: "Let her in, and have everyone around leave. I want to see her alone."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun did not dare to take it lightly.
He then went outside the palace and personally invited Cai Wenji to the emperor's side.
On the way, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Has Miss Cai met His Majesty before?"
Cai Wenji walked away and said, "We can't say we're acquaintances, but I was once your Majesty's tutor."
"I see."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Miss Cai, you should know some rules, right?"
"Of course I know." Cai Wenji responded.
"That's good."
Zhao Yun was worried that as a weak woman, she would feel timid and lose her composure when she saw the majestic emperor.
By then, angering His Majesty would be more trouble than gain.
Hence, this question.
Zhao Yun didn't stop until he reached the pavilion where Ying Yuan was sitting. He clasped his fists and said, "Miss Cai, His Majesty has asked you to go alone."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wenji looked at Ying Yuan, who was sitting upright with only his back showing to her, and her mood became more and more excited.
She tried to calm herself down and walked forward slowly.
When he approached Ying Yuan and was about to kneel down to pay his respects, he heard him say indifferently, "I'm here. You brought this jade pendant with you, but do you have something to ask of me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stood up and intended to turn around.
At this moment, Cai Wenji quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I, Cai Yan, pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever."
Hearing the voice, Ying Yuan frowned slightly.
Because he felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.
But I don't remember clearly.
"This is the first time you and I have met in all these years. Are you just going to keep bowing like this? Don't you want me to see what you look like now?"
Ying Yuan has tried his best to restrain his aura.
But because of the Holy King Body and the True Dragon Qi.
It still makes people feel incomparable dignity and majesty.
It can be said that if he were to unleash his full power, he could drive back "millions of soldiers" just by standing there.
"My humble daughter...my humble daughter..."
At this time, Cai Yan was not only excited, but also had some special emotions.
It's like an ordinary little girl who has a crush on an extremely outstanding man.
Suddenly one day, the person she had a crush on was standing in front of her.
But she still claims that she is just that ordinary.
I dare not say or do anything more, for fear of losing a good impression in the other person's mind.
"Look up."
Cai Wenji was startled by Ying Yuan's unquestionable tone.
She had no choice but to slowly raise her head.
The moment their eyes met.
She kowtowed again and couldn't get up.
Ying Yuan stood there in a daze.
I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
The two of them remained in a stalemate.
After an unknown amount of time, Ying Yuan said unhappily, "Why didn't you meet me in the palace that day?
Are you afraid that I will eat you? Or do you simply not want to see me?
Then why did you bring this jade pendant today and ask to see me?"
Cai Wenji bit her lip and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please punish me for deceiving you!"
