Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Emperor Xia Jing didn't go to any of his concubines that day, he just waited for his nephew's arrival in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but it was a bit strange that he didn't see anyone when it was time to release the key.

This is to understand, do not intend to hang on the tree of Lin Xi?

But think about it, Mr. Bai strictly guarded against death, for the sake of his little apprentice, he didn't give him the face of the prince at that time, saying that he was not allowed to come in after closing the door, it would be useless to wait for a long time, the door was closed every day, and he ate one meal after another. Every time it can make people laugh for a long time, even a little bit of self-esteem has to retreat.What's more, since Emperor Da Xia Jing was young, he had never seen his nephew go through so much effort and still couldn't get it.

There are so many excellent men in the world, it's up to Prince Rui to choose.

Although I thought so, I felt a little regretful, the emperor was lonely, and it was rare to have such fun to watch.

However, Emperor Xia Jing was thinking about going to the Yijing Palace when he saw his father-in-law walking in with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui please see me."

Immediately, Emperor Xia Jing's spirit was lifted, he even straightened his sitting posture, and said in a calm voice: "Xuan."

Looking at Zhao Jingyi strangely, Xia Jingdi couldn't help asking: "Are you really determined? I won't help you suppress Master Bai. Lin Xi is his only apprentice, and he is his son."

Zhao Jingyi raised his head, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes, "It's okay, my nephew is sincere, and I think I can always watch the sun and the moon. Besides, with my nephew here, no one would dare to marry Lin Xi. As long as my uncle doesn't mess with mandarin ducks Spectrum."

Emperor Xia Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He suddenly found that this nephew was getting more and more courageous, even daring to hit his side drums. However, it feels good to be used as a backer occasionally, so he was not annoyed, waved his hands and said: "I don't care about your mess, but most people would not agree to this kind of thing. Lin Xi has a bright future, so why bother with you?"

This kind of earnest words made Emperor Xia Jing lose his taste. Zhao Jingyi really didn't take it seriously, and even showed a smile that he was determined to win. He said: "You don't know, Lin Xi is easy to soften her heart, and she doesn't like to tear her face. Now I step by step Pressing, just hiding in the White Mansion and not showing up. After a long time, he will get used to being with me, and he was fine before, if it weren't for those rumors... Forget it, it's useless to say these now, and I still With Rong'er, he is even more reluctant to embarrass Rong'er."

This obsession is really terrifying. Emperor Xia Jing was shocked and at the same time sympathized with Lin Xi very much. It is really not easy to be targeted by such a person.

He looked at his nephew again with a complex expression, not knowing whether to praise him for his infatuation or call him crazy.

"Uncle, please help me again this time. The Qionglin banquet was originally set up for the top three in the current discipline. It is against the rules if the champion is not here. It is understandable that the old man is eager to protect his disciples. However, Lin Xi will enter the officialdom in the future after all. Or hide in the White Mansion? Can he hide from me for the rest of his life?"

Of course he couldn't, but after hearing that frenzied words just now, Emperor Xia Jing understood the old man's heartbroken heart, and it's better not to see him if he can.

If he changed his identity, Emperor Xia Jing would simply kick him back to the frontier and never return to Beijing in his life.

It's just that the emperor's heart is biased after all. No matter how talented Lin Xi is, no matter how much he is appreciated, he can't shake Zhao Jingyi in the slightest, so Emperor Xia Jing agreed, but only warned: "I will make an imperial edict, but you have to agree to me, Qionglin Banquet You are not allowed to mess around, if you dare to lose the face of the royal family, you will go back to the frontier and never see you again for the rest of your life."

Satisfied, Zhao Jingyi knelt down to thank her, "Yes."

Emperor Xia Jing could only sigh.

Lin Xi checked the manuscripts one by one, corrected the typos, and re-copied a copy with correct handwriting. Then she put down the pen and wrapped her arms around her wrists and breathed a sigh of relief. It took only three days, as if a century had passed.

Zhou's mother glanced into the study and saw Lin Xi stretching her waist, so she immediately walked in with a soup cup, carefully avoiding the manuscripts on the table, and put it flat, "Master, let's drink the soup first."

Opening the lid, a strong fragrance came to the nostrils, Lin Xi couldn't help sniffing, and leaned in, "It smells so good, it's Mother Zhou's best refreshing soup."

Mother Zhou saw Lin Xi sniffing like a puppy, as innocent as she was when she was a child, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "The more you live, the more you will go back, drink quickly."

Lin Xi was really hungry, so she didn't care about being gentle, and only after drinking two bowls did she feel strong.

When Lin Xi was drinking the soup, Zhou's mother carefully looked at his face. Her eyes were dark and dark, and her expression was tired, but she was not sluggish. The uproar outside didn't seem to affect him at all.

"Master, what are your plans?"

Lin Xi put down the bowl and spoon when she heard the words, wiped the corner of her mouth with a roll handkerchief, looked at the door through the door and window of the study unconsciously, and asked, "Has he been here these days?"

Zhou's mother nodded, "I will come every day, but I can't get in."

Lin Xi smiled reassuringly, and handed the empty bowl to Mother Zhou.

"This last bowl, I can't drink any more. It's time for lunch." Even though she said that, Zhou's mother filled the bowl and put it in front of Lin Xi. Sorrowful, "What will you and the prince do in the future? I'm really worried about this servant. In my dreams, my wife scolded my servant for not doing my duty to persuade you."

Lin Xi said while drinking: "Who can predict the future? At least the current situation is much better than when the rumors started spreading. The emperor didn't blame me. On the contrary, he even feels guilty about me! As long as Zhao Jingyi persists, time will last forever." Now, even if he and I are really more than one, it will be what everyone expects, and it's just a response to the prince's infatuation."

Mother Zhou heard Lin Xi say this, knowing that there was no possibility of changing her mind, she was both sad and happy, and she didn't know how to describe this feeling.

"Mother Zhou, trust me, I will always make life better for the Lin family, and Lin Xi will not shame the Lin family."

The smiling eyes were full of confidence, warm enough to make people approach unconsciously, and Zhou's mother nodded.

While drinking and chatting, Lin Xi accidentally rounded her belly, leaning on the wall and going out of the room. She was about to digest food in the yard, but she happened to see the Ninth Prince walking towards here.

"Uncle Lin."

Lin Xi immediately straightened her body, tapped her hands and said, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Father has an order for the old man and Uncle Lin, so I invited Ying to come, and I also came to see Uncle Lin."

So Lin Xi walked back to the study before taking a breath of the air in the yard, and asked someone to serve tea, "What is the emperor's will?"

The Ninth Prince put down his teacup, with an unnatural expression on his face, and said: "Tonight's Qionglin Banquet, all the top three will be present, and it is a custom. Uncle Lin should not be absent."

It seemed that Zhao Jingyi was asking for the emperor's will, and Lin Xi understood it, so she nodded, "I obey the order."

The Ninth Prince saw that Lin Xi's face was full of displeasure, and his demeanor was still calm and calm. It seemed that the storms and twists and turns outside had nothing to do with him, and he admired him even more, so he said solemnly: "I have always admired Prince Rui. Brother, but what he has done recently has disappointed me. You are my respected Uncle Lin and even a mentor. How can he like you if he persecutes you like this? It’s just bullying others. I really... Really... ..."

The Ninth Prince's upbringing was so good that he couldn't say a single vulgar word.

Seeing his resentful appearance, Lin Xi couldn't help feeling warm, and couldn't help persuading: "It's okay, just let him torment, as time goes by, no matter how much enthusiasm you have, it will fade away, but it is more effective than secretly hurting yourself. At least This is so clear, under the palace wall, he still doesn't dare to force it, and the rest of the tongue has nothing to do with me?"

Having said that, he was still very angry, especially when the Ninth Prince saw Zhao Jingyi's determined appearance with his own eyes.

It's just that even if he is a prince, compared with this cousin, no matter in terms of power or prestige, he is still much smaller. Now he can't do anything at all, and Emperor Xia Jing also forbids him to participate in this matter, so he can only endure it.

"Uncle Lin, wait a minute, my mansion is almost built, and I can open the mansion in a short time. After taking over the errand and gaining power, I can compete with Brother Rui Prince."

The firmness in the eyes of the Ninth Prince caused the warmth in Lin Xi's heart to be expanded infinitely. Whoever said that he was soft-hearted, it is obvious that this child is really kind, and he no longer knows how to repay this sincere heart.

He looked at the Ninth Prince with a complicated expression, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you let me approach him? In the current situation, as long as I can respond a little, I can easily influence him or even win him over. Wouldn't it be a big deal for His Highness?" Help, even the King of Liang and the King of Shu did not try their best to please him?"

As if he didn't know why Lin Xi said that suddenly, the Ninth Prince's eyes widened immediately, "Uncle Lin, didn't you always hate the unscrupulous methods of the two imperial brothers? Why today... You taught me to be worthy of my conscience in everything I do. , how can I ask you to do this, then what have I become? Even if you like Brother Rui, I will not let you lower your figure to please him like this. You said that a king should protect himself with wings The people of the world, so I should protect you!"

At that moment, Lin Xi's heart seemed to be hit by something. He was silent for a long time, but just looked at Zhao Jingyu deeply, as if to distinguish his expression, his demeanor, whether every inch of his eyes flickered, whether his heart was open or not. Not one.

But no.

He had an impulse, and suddenly he understood that impulse was the expectation of the courtiers when they met Mingjun and wanted to use all his power to get to that position.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed, but in the end Lin Xi restrained the impulse, but he could only cover up his gaffe by drinking tea, and gradually regained his senses. He put down the teacup and said with a light smile: "I made a mistake, Your Highness Don't blame me, I've been feeling a little unstable recently, so I won't talk about it. However, from what His Highness said, the mansion is about to open, so the choice of the prince and concubine must have been decided, right?"

The Ninth Prince felt that something was wrong, but he was also a little happy. He felt that he was one step closer to Lin Xi. While he was thinking carefully, he suddenly heard Lin Xi's question. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red in vain.

Lin Xi was surprised to see that the person who was excited just now became shy in an instant, and replied with twinkling eyes: "It's already decided, it's Tian Shilang's daughter...Tian Wan."

Lin Xi thought about it for a while, "Oh, Minister of the Household Department? The reputation is good, and I think it will be Tian Shangshu soon."

"Uncle Lin predicts things like a god." Although the Ninth Prince was blushing, his eyes were filled with anticipation, which must be what he wanted.

Lin Xi couldn't help teasing: "But have you seen it? Do you like it?"

The Ninth Prince nodded without hesitation.

"It's really gratifying. Marrying a woman you like is more important than ushering in a powerful family." Thinking about Zhao Jingyi in the past, a discord between husband and wife is a disaster, Lin Xi said with emotion.

The Ninth Prince rubbed his head, a little embarrassed, "Hey, after the newly promoted Jinshi is awarded an official position, we will draw up the wedding regulations. Don't worry, Uncle Lin, she looks very good, and I can live well with her in the future."

Lin Xi smiled, picked up the teacup, but put it down again, her stomach was still full of water and she couldn't drink it.

"By the way, yesterday my father asked me if I wanted to choose a teacher. I have already told my father that I would like you to be my teacher."

Lin Xi was startled when she heard the words, "Your teacher?"

"Yes, your talented father agrees very much, but I am afraid that I will humiliate you because of my lack of talent and learning."

"Has the emperor granted it?"

"Not yet. Father said that he needs to think about it carefully, but I also boldly said that I don't need anyone else as a teacher except you."

The Ninth Prince is no longer the thin and weak boy who lived in the cracks. Under Xia Jingdi's warm care for a year, the submissive little prince has become cheerful.

Lin Xi looked at the Ninth Prince's expectant gaze, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated. If he became the Ninth Prince's tutor, he would be on the same boat. If Zhao Jingyi really wanted to succeed in the future, how would he make a choice?
