Lin Gongzi medicine jar

When Lin Xi and Xiao Yuheng walked out of the golden house, they saw Zhao Jingyi standing with his hands behind his back. The upright posture of standing like a pine seemed to be that this was not a book alley frequented by scholars, but a school ground in the western suburbs where he was inspecting.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the accompanying patrol battalion had already left, and even the personal guards were not within sight, only Prince Rui was waiting for them.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Zhao Jingyi turned around and nodded towards Lin Xi and Xiao Yuheng.

Is this really going to hang out with them?

Lin Xi didn't feel that Zhao Jingyi had such leisure time and interest at all. After staying in the palace for a long time, he knew how busy the prince was, even in Xiaozhong.

So something must have happened.

Either the court or the little ancestor, but Lin Xi couldn't bother to ask, so she could only ask Xiao Yuheng: "Big cousin, I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll listen to you."

Xiao Yuheng never thought that one day he would go shopping with this cold brother-in-law. Xiao Yuheng felt suddenly stressed at the moment, but as the future owner of the Yongning Hou Mansion, his face remained calm.

I saw him waving the folding fan at his waist, waving it coquettishly twice, and said, "Then come with me. Besides this book alley, West Street also has antique calligraphy and paintings, gold, jade and silver buildings, silk brocades, restaurants and delicacies... Everything you can think of can be found on West Street, alleys and shops are very close together, so we don't need a carriage to travel."

Xiao Yuheng took two steps in front, then put away his fan and turned to Lin Xi and said, "If Xi'er can't hold on, you must tell me earlier, we can either go to the restaurant Yage to rest, or go back earlier, in short The street is right here, so I can’t run away.”

When Xiao Yuheng said this, he glanced at Zhao Jingyi and saw that he also nodded in agreement, thinking that this serious-looking person who is not talkative is actually considerate of others.

It seems that it is not as unreasonable as my sister said.

Lin Xi laughed dryly, "How can I be so weak, don't treat me like a girl."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuheng moved the corners of his mouth, and even Zhao Jingyi gave Lin Xi a subtle look, but neither of them spoke tacitly.

Isn't the person who can lie unconscious on the bed after a few tossings just a weak Miss Lin?

Now that they had reached the Antique Alley of West Street, they entered a shop called "Baibao Pavilion", which was very large, occupying four doors and three floors.

"The Baibao Pavilion is considered one of the best in the capital. There are many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as precious decorations. The owner is the Cheng family in Jiangzhou, an imperial merchant. It is exclusively for the House of Internal Affairs. Because it is used in the palace, wealthy families often visit here. If you want to give gifts There is always nothing wrong with buying dowry, etc. They also receive many dignitaries, and the precious objects will not be the same. The prince and Xi'er can take a look to see if there is anything they like."

The shopkeeper is naturally very discerning, the young master of the Xiao family is no stranger, and the person who can let this master accompany him is naturally not an ordinary person, besides, Zhao Jingyi's whole body style is really not something that can be raised in an ordinary official's family.

As soon as the three of them entered the building, they were immediately warmly received. When they went up to the second floor, the things on the upper floor were naturally different from those on the downstairs, and they looked more refined and precious.

Lin Xi had been thinking that Xiao Yunxuan's promotion would be imminent, but the gift hadn't been settled yet. You must know that the fourth uncle treated him well. The first time we met was a Xiaotangshan hot spring, so naturally his gift couldn't be casual.

Turning around a few times, Lin Xi looked at a water jade wrench placed on the grid. He was not familiar with military officers. He heard that Xiao Yunxuan was very accurate in archery, so he pulled Xiao Yuheng who was next to him and asked, "Big cousin, what are you looking for?" What do you think of this wrench, the fourth uncle can use it?"

The pull finger can hold the bowstring during archery, and it can also prevent the fingers from being scratched when the string is drawn back rapidly, which is reasonable to think about.

However, Xiao Yuheng did not reply after a long time, so Lin Xi turned around suspiciously, but unexpectedly it was Zhao Jingyi, and his hand was still on his sleeve.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xi let go of his hand in embarrassment, and apologized in a low voice: "Please forgive me, the offense..."

"It's flashy, it's just for viewing." Zhao Jingyi interrupted Lin Xi before he finished speaking, and frowned again: "My lord... As I said, there is no need to say these polite words in the future."

So Lin Xi immediately closed his mouth, and of course he was not interested in that finger.

On the other side, Xiao Yuheng was discussing something with the shopkeeper, and seemed to have something of interest, and now he was very excited.

The shopkeeper brought out a long box from the inside, looking at the engraved patterns on the box, it was very lifelike and exquisite, and the items inside must have been even more precious.

Lin Xi walked over and saw a qin inside. Lin Xi didn't know the rhythm, so she couldn't tell if the qin was good or bad, but it was quite old in appearance.

"Jiao Wei." Zhao Jingyi's voice came from behind, and he also followed.

The shopkeeper immediately praised: "Young master has a good wink, it is Jiao Wei."

Lin Xi glanced at Zhao Jingyi in surprise, the martial artist who wields knives and guns also knows musical instruments.

"My concubine liked Jiaowei's sound the most during her lifetime, but she couldn't fulfill her wish."

Lin Xi never thought that Zhao Jingyi would explain it to him, not to mention that the answer was so difficult for him to respond.

"Xi'er, your sister-in-law plays the piano very well. Would you like me to give her a gift? After she married me, she was busy with housework, but she didn't have time to play the sonata again."

Although it was a solicitation, but she was already determined to win, Lin Xi nodded happily, "The eldest cousin and cousin sister-in-law are deeply in love, she will be happy."

Xiao Yuheng was already satisfied with Jiaowei, knowing that neither Lin Xi nor Zhao Jingyi had anything in his fancy, so he let it go.

The three of them left Baibao Pavilion, ready to go to other places to have a look, but they didn't want the young servant Shushu to come in a hurry and report to Xiao Yuheng: "Young master, the uncle and wife of the Bai family are here, and the master wants you to go back and treat them."

Seeing Xiao Yuheng's embarrassment, Lin Xi smiled and said, "Since you are from the Bai family, eldest cousin should go back first."

"But..." It was agreed to be with Lin Xi today, and Zhao Jingyi was here, so it was not appropriate for him to leave at this moment.

In addition, Xiao Yuheng had a feeling that it would be weird for Lin Xi and Zhao Jingyi to be alone, but why, for a while, he could only think that Lin Xi didn't like to talk, and Zhao Jingyi cherished words like gold, what's the point of two boring gourds together?

"It's fine." Lin Xi said with certainty.

"You go now." Prince Rui said respectfully, that's it, Xiao Yuheng had no choice but to leave.

But after walking three steps, he still looked back, and saw Lin Xi smiling and shaking his hands at him, looking lively and innocent.And another tall and straight figure stood behind Lin Xi, looking like protecting and declaring something.

Xiao Yuheng couldn't see Zhao Jingyi's expression clearly, but he was sure that face was not as cold as usual.

It seems more worrying.

As soon as Xiao Yuheng's figure left, Lin Xi looked up at Zhao Jingyi: "My lord, I'm not familiar with this place."

Zhao Jingyi nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

Lin Xi was speechless, "Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"No."

So what are you doing here?Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"If you have nowhere to go, go somewhere with me." After Zhao Jingyi finished speaking, he paused, as if thinking of something, he added, "How?"

I finally know to ask for opinions, I am happy to congratulate, but Lin Xi feels that he seems to have to go, "Then let the prince lead the way."

"The road is not far." After Zhao Jingyi finished speaking, he walked in one direction, followed by Lin Xi.

Zhao Jingyi led Lin Xi into a corner, which was clearly connected to the bustling West Street, but the surrounding area seemed extremely quiet after a few steps, as if the noisy voices seemed to be separated by a long distance.

Lin Xi thought that he would struggle with the ground more than the previous few times. After all, he has always walked slowly. However, he found that Zhao Jingyi's walking was not fast this time. It was different from the wind under his feet when they met for the first time. Although his steps were big, he walked slowly. Sometimes he would turn his head slightly to see if he was following.

Is this taking care of him?

Lin Xi was quite surprised to find that this was indeed the case. For some reason, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, and unexpectedly felt that only the two of them were slightly embarrassed.

For this reason, Lin Xi felt that it was necessary to say something to ease the embarrassment, so she said: "I haven't thanked the lord for saving the siege today, but I don't know why you are here?"

Zhao Jing slowed down, and waited for Lin Xi to walk in before saying, "It's just a coincidence."

It's a trivial matter, even if it's a coincidence, it's impossible to bother you!But Zhao Jingyi didn't want to talk about it, so naturally he wouldn't ask any more.

However, after a moment of silence, Zhao Jingyi heard Zhao Jingyi say: "Hu Nu asked to release Dada and return to the grassland, and the imperial court proposed an exchange of [-] fine horses."

"One hundred thousand, so much?" Lin Xi was surprised, "Hu Nu definitely disagrees."

Zhao Jingyi nodded, "King Hu Nu is only willing to give one thousand horses and five thousand cattle and sheep. If the court refuses, he will send his troops south."

"The attitude is very arrogant."

Zhao Jingyi raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, and said, "It's very arrogant."

What he didn't say was that the envoy threatened in the hall that if Emperor Xia Jing refused, Hunu's iron cavalry would immediately break through the northern border and point directly at the capital, and then personally welcome their eldest prince back.

Some officials claimed that Prince Rui had captured Dada alive, and the Great Xia Dynasty was not afraid of Hunu cavalry.

However, the envoy explained that Hu Nu just got what they wanted and was not interested in fighting. Zhao Jingyi was just lucky to meet the eldest prince and come back as queen.Moreover, he vowed that the leader of the army this time was the braver second prince Samule, with the support of the entire eighteen clans behind him, and Zhao Jingyi would never be able to stop their iron cavalry.

"Our country just asks your country for some food needed to survive the winter. It is not really invading your country, but if your country is still obsessed with it, then it is not just as simple as food." The envoy said.

After losing the battle for more than ten years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have already heard of Hunu's discoloration. A victory can inspire people's hearts, but it can't dispel the long-standing fear. Under the majesty and intimidation, the direction of the wind gradually changed.

Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty had nothing else, but the officials were extremely proficient in the maintenance of imperial power and the "balance of power". If there was a slight disturbance, anyone suspected of being high and powerful would be suppressed or mobilized to attack.

Zhao Jingyi was not supposed to be in the main hall in Xiaozhong, but Emperor Xia Jing specially announced him into the palace, so he stood among the military officers.When he heard the envoy's last sentence, "In the Central Plains, my king looks down on anyone, only Prince Rui of your country can be called a hero", he decided not to say a word no matter what the outcome was.

Emperor Xia Jing was a man who wanted to show his face. Seeing the tone of the officials gradually changed, his face naturally became more and more ugly.

Some officials even said, "Great Xia is a country of etiquette. The main purpose of peace is not to fight, it is for the peace of the two countries, and the people will not suffer from the war. Please let the emperor release Dada and return to the Hunu to show our greatness."

Such absurd remarks have actually been reconsidered by many officials.

At this time, the Hunu envoy had already left. Before leaving, he said that he would wait for Daxia for three days. After three days, he returned to Hunu and waited for the war between the two countries.

Emperor Xia Jing was almost pale with anger. When he heard that the left servant of the household department had impeached Zhao Jingyi for his militarism, the national treasury was empty, and there was no money for disaster relief under natural disasters, and the refugees suffered heavy deaths.

"You mean that it was a mistake for me to order Prince Rui to go north to go to war, and it was a mistake to win. He should be robbed, burned, and killed by the Hu Nu, and then he has to pay the princess and a large amount of property to marry in order to ensure stability in the coming year?"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and begged the emperor to appease his anger.

"Calm down, why not be angry? What is it if you don't marry your daughter and pay for the princess? The North is far away from the capital, so what if the people there suffer a little bit! As long as you live in peace, even if King Hu Nu sits on the throne in the future position, you can still be your officials and worship your emperor, it doesn't matter!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia Jing's words already carried a dangerous message, and the officials who had been begging for peace immediately lowered their heads to the ground.

But fortunately, Emperor Xia Jing held back his anger, just flung his sleeves and left angrily.

When the father-in-law announced his retirement, Zhao Jingyi naturally left the palace silently.

He didn't go back to the palace, knowing that the people in the palace would definitely look for him, so he simply inspected the security of the capital and happened to arrive at West Street.

Xiao Yuheng was his brother-in-law, so when he learned that he was here, Zhang Yi naturally notified him.

Compared with other princes' brother-in-laws, Wei Qian is no longer a minority, so Xiao Yuheng is a rare young hero who has never let him clean up the mess. Zhao Jingyi has always had a good impression of Xiao Yuheng.

He came here to relax, so he went, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Xi.

This unexpected encounter made him feel unknowingly clouded and rainy, and even facing Wei San, a dude with dirty eyes even at a glance, he has more patience.

At that moment, he decided to get closer to Lin Xi.
