Rebirth of the Son Raiders

After Li Qixi finished speaking, he looked at Li Jingcheng, as if he was just relaying King Yu's words to him, neither asked Li Jingcheng to answer anything, nor asked him to express his opinion.

Neither the nephew nor the uncle spoke, and the hall was very quiet for a while. Wu Lixin, the head of internal supervision, stood aside with his head slightly lowered, thinking about the conversation he had with His Majesty when Li Jingcheng didn't come in.

Although His Majesty told him the happy event in the notebook with a smile, Wu Lixin could still detect the complicated emotions in His Majesty's eyes.

But he pretended not to notice it at all, and said with a smile on his face: "This old slave congratulates His Majesty, and congratulates His Royal Highness King Yu."

"Why do I like it?"

Wu Lixin said, his heart trembled, without any hesitation, he immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Yu has only one heir, the Queen Mother and His Majesty are very concerned about it. Now that Prince Yu's mansion has a new child, I think it is because of the Empress Dowager's and His Majesty's concern."

Leaving aside all interests, just talking about love... It sounds hypocritical, but it is actually the most calming statement for His Majesty at this moment.

"You're the only one who is smart..." Li Qixi laughed, his mood seemed brighter.

At that time, Wu Lixin didn't know that the really powerful news came later!

Wu Lixin was injured while protecting Emperor Liang in a paddock in the suburbs of Beijing last year. Although he is a bit old, but fortunately his body has always been strong, so he has recovered well. Xilai seems to be much more energetic.

After winter, Li Qixi was not in good physical and mental condition. Although he was accompanied by Master Wujue, he still had nightmares every night and slept very restlessly.

If you are sick, you will not be able to rest well, and if you don't rest well, you will be weaker... Such a vicious circle, Li Qixi's health will not go anywhere.

When Ping Wu came to hand over the booklet, Wu Lixin saw His Majesty's expression and knew that the matter was not simple. When he learned that Princess Yu was pregnant, he was shocked and worried about His Majesty.

It stands to reason that the princess was chosen by His Majesty for King Yu's younger brother, but at the beginning he had no choice but to marry Princess Yong for King Yu.

Wu Lixin knew that Emperor Liang felt a little ashamed of King Yu on this point, and even put on pressure to appoint a noble lady from a famous family as his side concubine for King Yu.

But no one thought that King Yu actually had a special liking for this princess of the Yong Kingdom, not to mention letting the side concubine give birth to concubine sons and concubine daughters, even Xu side concubine had never entered the courtyard.

Also the son of the first emperor and the empress dowager, King Yu has only one child, and the eldest son has not yet appeared, which looks very "bleak".

Now Princess Yu is pregnant, and King Yu is about to have a young son or daughter, but Emperor Liang is already "grand old". There is such a gap between the monarch and his ministers, it is embarrassing.

Of course, it's fine to think about such things in your heart, but to say it out, it's a matter of losing your head.

And because of what happened last year, Second Highness Li Jingxun and Prince Yu's son Li Jingcheng went to the mountain to rescue him, which not only protected His Majesty, but also saved the survivors from suffering because of His Majesty's damage. Wu Lixin was grateful to the two Highnesses.

Especially when he heard that Prince Yu's son first proposed to go into the forest to look for them when he was in the camp, he was even more kind to reporter Li Jingcheng, and planned to repay this life-saving grace in the future.

Seeing that His Majesty spoke so bluntly to King Yu's son without any further expression, Wu Lixin couldn't help but sweat for Li Jingcheng.

——Don't say it's a 16-year-old boy, even some grown-ups may find it difficult to cope with such a situation in front of His Majesty.

Just when Wu Lixin started to sweat slightly because of his impatience, His Royal Highness Prince Yu in front of him did not show any panic or nervousness.

I saw him standing there still with a stern face, his eyes lowered, his attitude respectful but not obsequious, his back straight, standing proudly like a pine and cypress.

Li Qixi couldn't believe that his nephew couldn't understand what he meant, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he could "pretend to be stupid" so calmly and confidently.

He cursed softly: "You are exactly the same as your father when he was young."

They all have a frosty and cold face, as if they are indifferent to everything. Whatever his father, mother concubine and emperor brother ask him to do, he will do it if he thinks it is reasonable, and he will stay still if he thinks it is unreasonable. He is very stubborn.

Ever since he was a child, he rarely talked much. If the imperial doctor hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Prince Yu had no mouth disease, the first emperor and the first empress dowager would even suspect that he could not speak.

Li Qixi once felt that they were not like brothers of the same mother, but subconsciously, he trusted this younger brother of the same father and mother.

Before the kings competed for the crown prince, before Li Qixi ascended the throne, their young prince had a very comfortable time.Others are very envious of Li Qixi for having such a capable brother who is not easy to compete for favor with.

This is why Li Qixi, like the queen mother, especially likes Li Jingcheng, because he can remind them of the time when the mother and son were in harmony without any gaps.

With the woman's slender shoulders, the queen mother supported the two brothers in the harem to shelter them from the wind and rain, and the brothers worked together to overcome all obstacles and defeated all kinds of opponents on the way to the summit, allowing Li Qixi to finally sit on the throne of God. Bit...they used to be so close without a trace of estrangement.

Until later, in order to secure this most honored seat, Li Qixi tried his best, and Li Qiyu guarded the northern border. They were still brothers, but they gradually drifted apart.

Thinking of this, Li Qixi's smile faded, but he did not continue to embarrass Li Jingcheng as he did just now.

"I've thought about it. Although there is your imperial grandmother in Beijing, your mother and concubine should be the most important thing in this critical period. I believe that if the queen mother knows your father's request, she will also hope that you can return to Pingwu immediately to accompany you. Your mother spent this most critical period of time."

……

Because Prince Yu's son was left in the palace by His Majesty for a meal, and then went back to the house to pack his luggage, Lin Yanhong only saw Li Jingcheng again late at night.

The two sat in the inner room, looking at each other without saying a word. After a long time, Lin Yanhong said softly: "You are going back to Pingwu tomorrow. The journey is long, so go back early and rest."

Seeing that Li Jingcheng didn't say a word, Lin Yanhong walked over and touched his cheek: "Be obedient, stay with the concubine well when you go back, and just talk to the little highness, let him know that you are the elder brother."

Li Jingcheng held his hand, and suddenly put it on his lips for a light kiss, which caused someone to immediately withdraw his hand blushing, and said rather angrily, "Go back!" But after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful in his heart...

This person is going back soon, and I'm afraid he won't come back to Tianjing in the short term.

There is still half a year before the concubine gives birth, and whether Li Jingcheng will return to Tianjing after the birth of His Royal Highness is yet to be determined.

The three-year evaluation is coming soon. If Lin Yanhong stays at the Imperial Academy in his original position, he will spend at least another three years in Tianjing.

Even if they are released as officials in the future and they are not in the capital, the two will live in different places, and it is difficult to meet each other. Even if they exchange letters, I am afraid that they will not be able to relieve the pain of missing each other.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanhong wanted to see Li Jingcheng more. He was afraid that after a few years, this child would be the same as the two years when he first came to Beijing. Lin Yanhong would not be able to witness his growth.

Just when Lin Yanhong was about to say something to him, Li Jingcheng also stood up suddenly. He stepped beside Lin Yanhong with one step, stretched out his arms to hug him, and walked quickly to the bedside.

Lin Yanhong almost cried out in shock, until he felt his back pressed against the bed, and Li Jingcheng leaned over and pushed his chest in embarrassment, and whispered: "What are you doing? , let me go!"

He didn't dare to make too much noise, fearing that the shadow guards outside would notice him, so he struggled in a small area, but unfortunately he couldn't break free, Lin Yanhong finally hit his calf with his foot angrily.

Li Jingcheng was unmoved, he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, he just stared at Lin Yanhong's lips, getting closer and closer.

Lin Yanhong wanted to resist him with his hands, but found that he was not Li Jingcheng's opponent at all, so he could only resign himself to his fate and close his eyes.

There was a kiss on the lips, so light that Lin Yanhong felt that the other party just touched him, and didn't intend to do anything further.

Then, he felt a hairy thing on his neck, it turned out that Li Jingcheng leaned his head against his ear.

The two of them just lay quietly on the bed, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Lin Yanhong turned his face slightly, and was able to lean against him, feel his emotions, and his heart suddenly softened. What he wanted to say, he blurted out involuntarily: "Jing Cheng, I will miss you..."

Li Jingcheng moved a little and hugged Lin Yanhong even tighter. He said "um" and then didn't respond.

……

When Lin Yanhong opened his eyes early the next morning, he was already alone on the bed, and the quilt seemed to still retain the residual warmth of the two embracing each other and sleeping.

Lin Yanhong got up and got out of bed to wash up, and then, as usual, he took the carriage in the mansion to the Hanlin Academy.

Everything after that was as usual, except that someone was missing, everything was exactly the same as before.

Lin Yanhong sometimes feels that time passes very slowly, and it seems that he can do a lot of things after a day; sometimes he feels that time passes too fast, and it is time for evaluation in a blink of an eye.

Every year at this time, some families are happy and others are sad.

Those with political achievements are naturally happy, while those without political achievements are naturally anxious.

Court officials in Beijing were assessed by the Court of Appeals, while local officials were assessed by the Examination Institute.

The examinations are divided into three grades: those with excellent political achievements are the top, those with rough positions are the middle, and those who are slow to deal with things are the bottom.

The Imperial Academy is different from others, whether it is doing well or not, His Majesty can see it most clearly.

As everyone expected, Lin Yanhong really got the top in the examination, and together with the boss who took him to study history together, he got a few words of approval from His Majesty.

Some people even said behind their backs that if Lin Xiaotanhua was not deeply loved by His Majesty, and His Majesty wanted to praise him but it was not easy to bypass the upper peak, then the boss would not have had the opportunity to get this honor.

However, there are also people who say that this Lin Hongxiu looks favored, but he is also in constant trouble. After a year, he became seriously ill, and I heard that even his old illness was involved. He gets words.
