Zhao Jingyi was left alone, Xia Jingdi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little irritable and disturbed.

He quietly stood upright without saying a word, until Emperor Xia Jing sighed and stopped in front of him, "Anyone can marry this princess, but you really don't want to."

Zhao Jingyi raised his head and glanced at Emperor Xia Jing lightly, then lowered his head.

"But the [-] horses are so attractive. I still remember that the ransom I asked for three years ago was also the same amount. However, it was just a casual statement at the time. I never thought Hu Nu would agree. But today, they sent it up by themselves. , Jingyi, you have fought in battle, you know better than me what a good horse means on the battlefield, what do you think I should do?"

Hu Nu didn't care if Dada could go back, and that Princess Jinzhu didn't necessarily like Zhao Jingyi very much, but they were willing to exchange [-] cattle, sheep and [-] horses so that he would never go to the battlefield. This was an obvious trap.But Daxia, from the emperor down to the courtiers, seemed to think this was a good deal.Maybe they think, or are more inclined to let Prince Rui stay in the capital forever and hand over military power.

Zhao Jingyi secretly took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Your Majesty really believes that Hu Nu is willing to live in peace with Daxia?"

Emperor Xia Jing shook his head, "The barbarians are ambitious and cannot be trusted. But for at least five years, they will not dare to invade the northern border again. Besides, I have my Prince Rui. I believe and firmly believe that even if you marry the princess, you will still be loyal." Uncompromising."

Emperor Xia Jing patted Zhao Jingyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just a girl, what kind of trouble can it cause? If you really don't like her, I will give you some more beauties. Jingyi, I still have a lot of places I need you!"

Lin Xi's words really hit the mark, Zhao Jingyi laughed at himself, not knowing what it felt like to leave the palace.

Turning around, he ordered lightly: "Send someone to the White Mansion."

The more Xia Jingdi thought about it, the more he felt that he was thinking too much, but she was a princess, and she could make waves when she was locked up in the palace of Daxia, how could she have the ability to make their monarchs and ministers suspicious.Otherwise, with the unremitting efforts of the past dynasties and princesses, how could Hu Nu still be rampant?

After I unraveled myself, my heart opened up.

The father-in-law looked at the emperor in a good mood, and asked, "Your Majesty, should we talk to the empress dowager about this?"

"Mother?" Emperor Xia Jing nodded after thinking about it, "That's right, mother's heart is broken for Jing Yi's marriage, and Princess Hu Nu can't fall into the eyes of her old man, so I should go and untie it. For the righteousness of the country, some sacrifices should be made, why don't you ask the mother to choose a few more gentle and beautiful girls from a good family, and give them to him as compensation after the wedding."

"Yes." The father-in-law took the order and went out to prepare for the car.

However, as soon as he went out, he came back again, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Bowen, begs to see you."

Emperor Xia Jing frowned, then opened it again, and said with a smile: "It must be that the final case assigned by the officials has come out, that's all, wait at the Empress Dowager's place first, Xuan."

Shen Bowen was astute, he knew what the outcome would be if Prince Rui was left after the court, and when Zhao Jingyi left the palace, he would go to the palace with the deployment documents in his arms to face the saint.

Sure enough, Emperor Xia Jing's complexion was not bad, and he was in a happy mood.

Emperor Xia Jing looked at the copy carefully, and suddenly gasped, "How could Master Bai Rusong appear here, Guozijian Jijiu?"

Everyone knows that this great Confucianist taught the emperor for a period of time, and when the emperor ascended the throne, he resigned gracefully and left. No matter how much he persuaded him, he never became an official.Emperor Xia Jing had no choice but to let him go in the end.But he didn't want to see the old gentleman as an official after many years, even if it was just the Guozijian offering wine, it would be enough to make him happy.

Shen Shangshu said: "Not only the emperor was surprised, even the ministers were also very surprised when they saw it for the first time, but the minister personally confirmed this matter, Mr. Bai is indeed willing to come out of the mountain."

That being the case, Emperor Xia Jing had no reason why he shouldn't, so he looked at the others, then ticked off the ink pen, and then drove to Fengci Palace.

The queen mother had already received the news and was waiting for the emperor to come.

As soon as he saw the emperor's face, he ordered all the attendants in the palace to retreat, and before the emperor could speak, he cut to the chase and said, "The Ai family disagrees."

Emperor Xia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then helped the queen mother to sit down, "What does the queen mother disagree with?"

The queen mother glared at him, "Jingyi's marriage, he can't marry Princess Hu Nu."

Emperor Xia Jing was not surprised that the Empress Dowager knew about this matter, the news spread after the court today, what he wondered was why the Empress Dowager objected so much.

"But who said something in front of the mother?" Emperor Xia Jing's expression turned pale, and he had already gone through the candidates in his mind. There were always people in his harem who were not safe.

But this time Emperor Xia Jing wronged him, and the Queen Mother scolded angrily: "No one talks nonsense in front of Ai's family. Ai's family has already made a decision about Jingyi's marriage and told the emperor that he is still Don’t get married well. Didn’t you discuss it well before, the grandson of Prince Zhen Wang’s family is also a motivated child, if Hu Nu is not satisfied, he can be knighted.”

Emperor Xia Jing couldn't laugh or cry at once, Hu Nu's tone said that he would not marry if he was not a prince, but this super prince can be sealed no matter what he wants.

So I could only coax the old lady and say, "He didn't object to it himself. Besides, Princess Hu Nu is lively and beautiful, and Jing Yi has a cold temper. It may be said that these two people are quite suitable. The Xiao family before was a lady of everyone. He doesn't get along."

The queen mother frowned, "Don't fool Aijia, that kind of barbarian girl, can she live at home? He is a stubborn child. He is loyal to the emperor and the court with his heart. No matter how much pain he feels in his heart, he will take it to himself Swallowing, once you said that he can not accept the order to thank you? He is a stupid man, he can't complain, he can only do things with his head covered, your uncle never knows how to be considerate and considerate of him. "

Speaking of this, the queen mother remembered Zhao Jingyi kneeling in front of him begging for her grace that day, and felt even more uncomfortable, her eyes turned red, and tears fell down like that.

The emperor almost jumped up and knelt down to plead guilty. He hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe the empress dowager's tears, "Mother, what is this... what is this for? It's just a marriage. If Jingyi doesn't like it, just hang it aside and let it go." Yes, what kind of woman he wants is up to him to choose."

This can directly poke the queen mother's heart, she pulled off the veil and shouted: "If he wants a woman, does the Aijia need to worry so much!"

What does this mean?

Emperor Xia Jing looked puzzled, and the Empress Dowager wiped the corners of her eyes and recounted the scene of that day in detail, "This is all a crime, a good child, but he was forced to not get close to women for six years. Living the life of an ascetic monk, if there is no Rong'er, this will be the end of the world! When Aijia thinks that this is your brother's only blood, his heart hurts so much that he can't sleep."

Emperor Xia Jing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "This...isn't it good on weekdays, why did he have such a problem, I immediately sent the imperial doctor to take a good look at him."

"What are you looking at!" The Queen Mother turned her head and said angrily, "Don't you think that not enough people know about it? What do you want Jingyi to do in the future, huh? At the beginning, it was the good marriage you mentioned, the beautiful concubine given by your imperial concubine. I can't help but vomit in my heart. Let him live a good life, don't stuff him with messy people. "

Emperor Xia Jing was scolded by the queen mother to silence, he actually didn't believe that Zhao Jingyi really had a hidden disease because of this, to be honest, there are many people with miserable backgrounds, and I haven't seen any irritating people suffering from misogyny.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, and that kid is like a gourd, so it's hard to say.

However, he was also unwilling to let Emperor Xia Jing give up the marriage and lose the generous dowry because of this, "I don't want to give up, it's just my mother, the opportunity is rare, I have to consider the overall situation."

Seeing the emperor's expression, the empress dowager knew that her emotional words were in vain, and that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This matter was not as simple as a single marriage, so she stood up and said indifferently: "This is the end of the mourning, if the emperor insists on going his own way I can't stop you, it's just your uncle and nephew. He insisted on showing you the Northwest Gate. The monarch and his ministers should complement each other. You should think about whether this is worth it. Don't let your loved ones hurt your enemies. The emperor pleases himself."

Emperor Xia Jing looked embarrassed. Although the Queen Mother was a woman, but she was able to send the eldest son to the dragon chair in the fierce battle for the throne, and the youngest son was Anwen Prince, which shows her wisdom, but she has been reluctant to say more.

Seeing the empress dowager's already hunched figure, the full head of gorgeous hair, and the wrinkled face, Xia Jingdi said with a sore heart: "Don't worry, empress mother, I will definitely think twice. No matter what the result is, I believe that Jingyi will never change. .”

It is not easy to be able to do this, the queen mother nodded and called the female officer to come in, and helped her into the bedroom to rest, she was old and unable to do what she wanted.

It is impossible to say how urgent Emperor Xia Jing wanted to facilitate this marriage. With the huge benefits, he must pay a sufficient price, and he is not willing to pay this price, even though he has almost made up his mind.

Although the empress dowager's words did not dispel this thought, they shook his determination after all. After a few days, the imperial edict was not issued, which shows that the emperor's heart is still contradictory.

"Your Majesty, don't feed Yan'er any more food. If you can't take it anymore, you will suffer in bed at night." Concubine Shu took the mung bean cake from Emperor Xia Jing's hand, and turned to let the palace servants take it away.

Emperor Xia Jing was not annoyed either, he hugged the Seventeenth Princess and made out with her, watching his little daughter pouting and pulling on her beads in displeasure, and calling her Daddy coquettishly all the time, all her worries disappeared.

Turning around to see Concubine Shu looking at a roster, she asked, "What is Concubine Ai looking at?"

After hearing this, Concubine Shu sat down next to Emperor Xia Jing and smiled and said: "Yan'er is almost three years old, and I thought I should teach her etiquette, but I was born in a rural area, and I'm afraid I can't teach her well. , thinking about finding a foster nun."

"What should it be?" Emperor Xia Jing said, "Yan'er is still young, let her nanny teach her first."

Concubine Shu gave him an angry look and said: "Yan'er's nanny has doted on her since she was a child, and she is afraid that she will rely on everything. In the future, she will develop an arrogant and domineering temperament, and it will be her who suffers. What's more, Yan'er is a royal The princess represents the face of the Tian family, and she needs to be more cautious in her words and deeds. The master must choose the right teacher from an early age, teach her well, and remind her impartially of anything in the future, so she can't go wrong."

Emperor Xia Jing likes Concubine Shu's careful, thoughtful, gentle and gentle temperament, and she is cautious in her words and deeds. her?

But Concubine Shu's words also reminded Emperor Xia Jing, he immediately laughed, hugged her and pinched her cheek, "Ai Concubine is really my good wife."

Putting his daughter down, Emperor Xia Jing walked away with Concubine Shu in a daze.

After Yu Jia left, Concubine Shu turned around and asked, "Is that what you say?"

As soon as Su Yang received the letter, he immediately organized a team of people to protect the emperor and leave the palace. However, before they could even stand up, Emperor Xia Jing's order came, and he made a private visit in micro-service.

The heroic imperial guards were left behind, Xia Jingdi only brought him and a few guards out of the palace in casual clothes.That's not enough, so the entire imperial guards changed into plain clothes one after another, scattered on the surrounding roads, and kept an eye on the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

Old Mr. Bai lived as a widow all year round, so he didn't pay much attention to living alone, and a few days counted as a few days, but it was different when he had a young apprentice.

Lin Xi is not as good as the weak crown, just when he was about to start a family, he disturbed Huang. After thinking about it, it really has a lot to do with him. When the marriage was rescinded, Mr. Bai was actually very uncomfortable. The child frowned and opened his eyes.

With concern in his heart, old Mr. Bai began to plan for Lin Xi, and the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine was one of them. He had to open the door for the young apprentice and find a way to get promoted.

The second is to live longer, at least to see Lin Xi get married and start a business before he can close his eyes in peace.

These days, the old man has lived a long life, if he wants to live another ten or eight years at this advanced age, he must take good care of him, otherwise he will suddenly let go and leave Lin Xi behind. After all, the old lady of Yongninghou's family is not younger than him.

As for Zhao Jingyi, Mr. Bai could still watch over and take care of him when he was around. Once he left, Lin Xi might not be able to step over the threshold of the palace. Thinking about it a little more, the gate of the palace would be even more difficult to enter.

Therefore, in the past two years, Mr. Bai has been extremely concerned about his body.It's just that he didn't pay attention to it in the early years, but now he always has this pain and itching on his body. Mr. Bai is really worried that he won't last long.

Lin Xi naturally asked for his pulse from time to time, prescribed several prescriptions for recuperation, and also listed a long list of medicinal diets. After all, his body has gradually improved, but geriatric diseases, it is true to want to completely recover It’s not easy, and it’s still up to you to take care of yourself.

A few days ago, I met an old friend to exchange feelings. The old man is [-] years old, and he is still in good health. He can even hoe two grasses in the ground. Then the back garden was changed into a vegetable garden, which was remembered by Mr. Bai. heart.

As soon as he got home, he tossed the servants to learn how to grow vegetables as an idler, so anxious that the old servant hurriedly invited Lin Xi to persuade him.Unexpectedly, Young Master Lin walked around the small garden in the White Mansion, looked around and drew a vegetable patch out for his teacher to toss, in the euphemistic name of moving the body frequently, it is good for the body, don't be too tired that is.

Yes, this young master is still rolling up his sleeves with him.

When Emperor Xia Jing walked into the White Mansion, he saw the old master who hadn't seen him for many years, wearing a blue cloth bunt and carrying a hoe, slowly digging the ground, and another young man was also dressed up and bent down along the way. Sowing seeds in the pit, one in front of the other, the two were still talking and laughing... Immediately, Emperor Xia Jing had the urge to go out and look at the door plaque to confirm.

"Ahem." Su Yang followed behind Emperor Xia Jing, and seeing the two focused expressions, he couldn't help but cleared his throat to remind him.

The old butler hurriedly said: "Master, Young Master, a guest is here."

Mr. Bai and Lin Xi looked up together, and saw a man who looked imposing from a distance, and looked about sixty years old, standing proudly by the edge of the vegetable field with his hands behind his back. Coupled with the tall and solemn guards behind them... Both the master and the apprentice felt a strange sense of familiarity in their hearts.

However, compared to the old Mr. Bai who has not met the holy man for more than 20 years, after all, Lin Xi was lucky enough to meet him once three years ago. After watching for a while, his memory was pulled back, and his eyes widened and he mouthed to Mr. Bai, "Teacher, It's the emperor!"
