Chapter 156 Xiao Jinxin's token

Lin Xi stayed for a while and then left the Chongjin Hall, but at this time the court had gone down, and when Marquis Yongning and Xiao Yuheng came back, Lin Xi had to go to see him again.

After briefly talking about the affairs in the palace, Marquis Yongning gave him several instructions before letting him out, but when he left the study, he ran into Xiao Jinlan.

Xiao Jinlan stood gracefully in the porch, and met Lin Xi just now, gracefully and gracefully.

"Cousin is here to see uncle." Lin Xi asked back.

Xiao Jinlan nodded, then pulled back her skirt and walked over. The two were about to pass each other when they heard Xiao Jinlan say softly, "I went to see my third sister just now."

She stopped in her tracks, turned her body slightly, and cast a mocking look in her eyes. Lin Xi followed her gaze suspiciously, and saw a strange little girl who kept looking this way.

"A person who is not good at learning is still not good at learning even if he hits the ground and bleeds. Cousin, what do you think she is doing for? Do you really like it so much?" Xiao Jinlan looked at the little girl who was poking her head, and the sarcasm on her face turned into incredible.

Lin Xi looked at her inexplicably, as if she was talking about Xiao Jinxin, but it had nothing to do with him.

However, Xiao Jinlan kept talking to herself. Every time she met Lin Xi, she couldn't help but say something, "That ridiculous marriage, the road full of thorns is just to beat me in terms of rank, ha, I don't even know what to laugh at." Is she stupid or brave. If I were her..."

She shook her head, the sadness between her brows disappeared in a flash, and she became strong again.

When she turned around, she saw that Lin Xi lacked interest and just left because of poor etiquette, and suddenly became dull, "Cousin, I'll go in first, let's leave the matter of the third sister alone."

According to Xiao Jinlan, is that little girl here to look for her?

Lin Xi was a little puzzled, and naturally she didn't want to be involved in these messy things, so she turned around and walked towards the door.

Seeing Young Biao leave without looking back, the little girl stomped her feet and quickly followed. Seeing that Lin Xi was about to leave the gate, she gritted her teeth and charged forward, but Yuanyuan couldn't stop her even though she wanted to stop her.

"Master Biao, this is what my lady asked the servant to hand it over to you." The girl swiftly stuffed a slender and delicate box into Lin Xi's hand, then turned around and ran away without looking back, and disappeared after a while .

Yuanyuan was short-tempered and dissatisfied: "Master, why don't you let the slaves be handed over to Mrs. Yongninghou?"

Lin Xi frowned. He didn't want to make Xiao Jinxin look bad in public, so he handed it to Yuanyuan to put it away, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Xiao Jinxin and Lin Xi are at odds, so why give him something?

Lin Xi played with this small and slender brocade box, and then opened it. Inside lay a hairpin of a woman's hairpin, and a carved phoenix held a pearl in its mouth. exquisite.

Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "Master, what does the third lady mean? How dare she give you such a personal thing without permission, and it's so precious."

Lin Xi was also extremely puzzled, why is it that a woman who is engaged to give away Luo Chai, a single man who doesn't like her?

Lin Xi held up the hairpin and looked left and right, but couldn't think of a reason, so she looked at the brocade box, suddenly narrowed her eyes, and reached out to take out the fabric that was used as a cushion inside, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a silk handkerchief.

"Ah, there are words on it..." Yuanyuan exclaimed, Lin Xi glanced at her, and the fat girl covered her mouth consciously.

Lin Xi took a cursory look, but it was a beautiful and sad letter of departure. Seeing the wording, the honorific words and the signature at the end, he had goose bumps all over his body, and then he felt angry spontaneously.

He smiled coldly, folded the silk handkerchief, and put it back on the hairpin, "Go, send someone to hand this over to their master."

Seeing Lin Xi's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Yuanyuan shrank her neck at her cold words, and went out with the brocade box.

Lin Xi gritted her teeth with a stinky face. That woman was really sick. Why did she think that she would hand it over for her?

And Zhao Jingyi is a bastard, no wonder Xiao Jinxin is obsessed and usually wants to marry into Prince Rui's mansion, so there is such a thing, okay, Lin Xi will naturally fulfill it.

The unlucky dark guards who were selected respectfully handed over the brocade box to their lord.

Baby Lin sent it, Zhao Jingyi immediately withdrew his icy aura, retreated a group of subordinates, took the box with slightly raised lips, got up and went back to the room to take a closer look.

The dark guard twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but said, "My lord might as well take a look first."

Zhao Jingyi glanced at him immediately, his scalp was tingling coldly, the dark guard lowered his head to resist the pressure and did not speak.

So Zhao Jingyi opened it suspiciously, but he didn't think it was a gorgeous hairpin. He took a closer look and wondered why Lin Xi gave him this.

"Does he have something to say?"

The dark guard shook his head, raised his eyes carefully to glance at his lord, and couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Lin doesn't seem to be happy."

This is a more euphemistic way of saying it, but he was actually very angry, and his face... felt that his prince would not have a good time these days.

Zhao Jingyi saw the dark guard's slightly sympathetic gaze, frowned immediately, and pointed at himself in astonishment, "Because of this king?"

The dark guard lowered his head even lower.

He didn't do anything!

Zhao Jingyi felt deeply wronged, so he ordered with a dark face, "What's going on?"

The dark guard naturally explained everything in one go, and after thinking about it, he finally added, "Miss Yuan said, let the prince take a closer look at the box."

Zhao Jingyi frowned and threw the hairpin aside, picked up the box and shook it, and the silk handkerchief fell off.Zhao Jingyi stretched out his hand to catch it, opened it up to look at it, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine to the soles of his feet.

Luo Hua intends to be ruthless. This letter is sad and sad, with poetic helplessness, showing the infinite tenderness and love of a generation of boudoir girls for their sweetheart and the sadness of not getting what they want. Since they can't get married together, they have to cut off their love and return the token... ...from all sides of the world.

For ordinary men, facing such a heart-wrenching confession, even an iceberg should melt.

What's more, what is said in the silk that a wife and a concubine only want to stay together for a lifetime?

All men are so cheap, Lin Xi felt threatened just by looking at it, and this was written to Zhao Jingyi, wouldn't it make him furious to be lingering?

Zhao Jingyi's other half is him, okay?

If Lin Xi was a woman, she would have burned, torn up and destroyed it in private, and definitely would not have handed it over to Zhao Jingyi intact.

However, he is a man, so he has his own arrogance, and he disdains to do such villainous behavior.

Besides, there are still tokens!Lin Xi also wanted to see how Zhao Jingyi explained it.

But Zhao Jingyi himself didn't know when he gave such a hairpin to Xiao Jinxin, thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Eunuch Cao came in upon hearing the sound, saw Luo Chai on the table, and smiled, "It's just a trivial matter, the prince must have forgotten it, this was when Princess Xiao was still there, and you gave one as a gift for her birthday." Miss Xiao San liked it very much when she saw it, so she begged the princess, if you didn’t like it, she ordered someone to send another one to you. To distinguish, the princess’s is Bu Yao, and the third lady’s is Luochai, so it’s It's this one."

When Eunuch Cao said this, Zhao Jingyi seemed to have some impressions. At that time, Yao Shi had just given birth to his second son, and in order to comfort Xiao Shi, he gave such a golden step Yao.

In short, it's good to have a provenance, Zhao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise Mr. Lin raised one corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and leaned on the door with his hands folded and stared at him coldly, it would be really unbearable.

But just to be on the safe side, he asked again: "Aside from this hairpin, what else did the king give Xiao Jinxin?"

Eunuch Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "You are worrying too much, Mr. Lin is not the kind of troublesome person, you can talk about it carefully, and the coaxing will pass. Miss Xiao San is already engaged to Song Guogong It must be the last time for the eldest son to fill in the house."

Fill in the house?This woman is simply sick.

Zhao Jingyi was very glad that he did not agree to marry her.

That night, Zhao Jingyi took the freshly baked walnut cakes from the kitchen, climbed over the wall of Mr. Lin's house, walked into Lin Xi's bedroom in a familiar way, and then turned on the lights.

Tuantuan's rounder and fatter face appeared in front of his eyes, he smiled and said with narrowed eyes, "I've seen the prince."

"Where's your young master?"

"It's in the White House."

Zhao Jingyi's complexion suddenly darkened, and no one informed him!

Zhao Jingyi turned around and walked out the door, waved her hand, a black figure landed in front of her, knelt on one knee and bowed her head to obey orders.

"Dark head?"

"The leader followed Mr. Lin."

They ran really fast, Zhao Jingyi sneered.

"Why don't you know you will meet me?"

"Young Master Lin won't let you speak."

He won't let you say you really don't want to?Zhao Jingyi stared coldly at the hidden guard, who was so frightened that his head almost dropped to the ground.

Prince Rui's captivating gaze was as real as it was real. Under the huge pressure, the secret guard was crying in his heart, wishing to draw a knife and commit suicide to apologize. Zhao Jingyi lost his momentum, snorted coldly, and left.

Lin Xi played chess with Mr. Bai with a smile, unhurriedly and patiently.

Old Mr. Bai twiddled his white pieces and looked at the chessboard, thinking for a while before putting down a piece, smiling slightly as if he was satisfied.However, when he looked up, he saw the little apprentice opposite, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were looking at the chessboard but he didn't move, and he coughed lightly as if he was wandering away.

"It's your turn."

Lin Xi came back to his senses, flattened the corners of his mouth, straightened his expression, and then studied the chess game, seeing Mr. Bai shaking his head endlessly.

"I'm not thinking about it, so I don't need to accompany you as a teacher. It's getting late, so let's go to rest early."

Lin Xi put down the sunspot in his hand embarrassingly, stood up and helped the teacher up, "Student, let's take you back to your room first."

Old Mr. Bai glanced at him, snorted softly, and stretched out his hand for his support. A servant had already lit a lantern at the door and was waiting.

"You still have to come here so late today, but what happened?"

My own apprentice knows it well, his lazy temper doesn't urge him to stay at home and not move around.

"I have been thinking about you for so long in the palace, so I came here as soon as I wanted to. It doesn't matter, but you must have already known some things."

Speaking of this, old Mr. Bai had a look of helplessness flashing across his face, but his heart became clear. When he walked to the front of the room, he suddenly said: "If the Ninth Prince comes, then come."

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and couldn't see his expression. She just helped the teacher into the door, and took the handkerchief graciously and handed it to Mr. Bai.

"Xi'er, those of us who study should always remember to obey the destiny and uphold orthodoxy!"

Still got to this step, Lin Xi sighed softly in his heart, put his eyes on his sleeves solemnly, "Students, please remember."

Pushing open the door, the moon in the sky is just right, autumn is coming, dispelling the heat and bringing coolness.

Yuanyuan put on a coat for him, "It's quite cold at night, young master, don't catch cold."

Lin Xi nodded, and walked back to his room under the moonlight and the dim light of the lantern. When he approached the door, he suddenly asked, "Is he here?"

A helpless voice came from the darkness, "Here we come."

Lin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, her slightly heavy mood suddenly turned better, but the dark head behind her said again: "My lord, we must have a meal."

Lin Xi stopped in her tracks, turned her face slightly, and said flatly, "I'm your master, aren't I?"

Since the emperor said that he would be close to Lin Xi and visit the White Mansion when he had time, Zhao Jingyu, who had a goal in mind, was naturally concerned.

At that time, Lin Xi had just woken up, and had breakfast with old Mr. Bai with sleepy eyes, and then the concierge came to report that the Ninth Prince had arrived.

So early?

Lin Xi glanced at her teacher, swallowed the last mouthful of steamed stuffed bun, drank soy milk, and then got up to greet her.

Since old Mr. Bai wanted to help, he put on airs again, withdrew his breakfast and served tea.

He was unwilling to choose Zhao Jingyi, it was nothing more than a helpless choice because the country had no inheritance.However, for Zhao Jingyu, the only stain in his life has been washed away. As long as the orthodox prince has the appearance of a wise king, even if his qualifications are mediocre, it doesn't matter.

Lin Xi has nothing to do with this concept, she can only let it go.But Zhao Jingyi didn't need to say much, and naturally stopped visiting the White Mansion.

"Uncle Lin, I didn't expect you to be here, it's great."

Zhao Jingyu came striding forward in casual clothes, followed by a strange servant, unlike the submissive and timid one before, this one was neither humble nor overbearing, courteous and not obtrusively flattering.

"I've seen the Ninth Prince." Lin Xi clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite." Zhao Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Xi up, seeing Lin Xi looked at the servant behind him, he said softly, "The servants assigned to me by my father have all changed. "

"Then congratulations Your Highness."

Zhao Jingyu smiled, and changed the topic, "Father asked me to visit Mr. Bai more often and listen to his teachings. I came here for the first time today, and I felt uneasy. With Uncle Lin here, I feel more at ease. I also ask Uncle Lin to introduce me."

Naturally, Lin Xi did not refuse. She turned sideways and made a request, "The teacher has been waiting for a long time, please come with the students, Your Highness."

Lin Xi has been with the Ninth Prince's disposition for many years, and she also has some concerns in her heart.

He had endured hardships in his early years, and his mind was tough. No matter how many hardships he suffered, he never complained about others. Now that he has been favored, he has never thought of taking revenge on anyone. He has good intentions and is open-minded and eager to learn. Lin Xi doesn't need to think about it, his teacher How happy it will be.

After a little exam, Mr. Bai twirled his beard with a smile in his eyes. Compared with those two elder brothers, the balance was tilted even more, and there were inevitably some points in his words.

The day passed quickly.

If Zhao Jingyu's father-in-law hadn't reminded him, the Ninth Prince, who still wanted nothing more, might not know how to return to the palace until the full moon was high, so he had to leave reluctantly.

As soon as Zhao Jingyu left, Mr. Bai couldn't help sighing: "Oh, the emperor is so confused!"

Lin Xi heard such emotions when he came back from the door, so he smiled and said: "The teacher seems to be quite satisfied with the Ninth Prince."

"Although the qualifications are average, the good thing is that he has a good character."

This evaluation is already good, Lin Xi expected it, so he didn't say much, and then heard his teacher say: "It's just that the current situation is really tricky. It would be great if the emperor could find out one step earlier."

Lin Xi poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and asked, "What do you say?"

Old Mr. Bai shook his head, "When King Shu falls, how could King Liang give up such a great opportunity? I'm afraid he can't wait to establish the crown prince."

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and drank her own tea.

Now that he has a clear direction, Mr. Bai, who is concerned about the country and the people, naturally wants to think about the Crown Prince in his mind. He frowned and thought about it carefully. When he turned around and saw Lin Xi's relaxed and contented appearance, he couldn't help but get angry, " What does Xi'er think?"

Lin Xi was taken aback when his name was called, and then smiled. He poured tea for Mr. Bai and said, "Since the emperor asked the ninth prince to come down to visit you, it can be seen that he already knew in his heart that King Liang is not the choice for the heir. According to the courtier's thinking, you are too worried."

Concerned about chaos, that's what I'm talking about.

Mr. Bai's frowning brows slowly relaxed, but he was still a little worried, "Even the emperor can't do what he wants."

The young emperor can't do it, but Emperor Xia Jing, who has been on the throne for nearly 30 years, can definitely do it. Otherwise, what about the young son who feels guilty?

Shrugging, Lin Xi said indifferently, "This is beyond our consideration."

Mr. Bai was not satisfied with his answer, his face was still gloomy, and suddenly he asked: "How is the emperor's health?"

Asking this out of the blue, Lin Xi blinked and looked back at him.

"Does Xi'er know?" Mr. Bai sat down and looked at his innocent little apprentice, who had been in the palace for so long and was so close to the emperor, how could he not know?

Lin Xi pursed her lips, resting her chin with one hand, bent her eyes and said casually: "The emperor is not young anymore, so angry, I think... Xuan."

Seeing the change in Mr. Bai's face, he stood up and smiled softly, "But don't worry, a good rest will always protect the Ninth Prince for a few years. There are still some things in the mansion, so Xi'er will go back."

After walking two steps, he seemed to think of something, he stopped, turned his head and said: "Oh, by the way, teacher, if the king of Liang has made a serious mistake at this juncture, who can risk the world's disgrace and suggest that he be appointed as the heir?" Then His face darkened, and he smiled coldly, "That kind of person is not worthy of being a prince at all."

Mr. Bai looked at his back, and suddenly said: "Don't mess around."

Lin Xi waved her hands while walking.

Someone has already promised to avenge his father's revenge.
