Your Majesty, I know I was wrong

Chapter 24

The sudden arrival of the empress dowager made Lin Zijin feel very tired. He thought about many things in the courtyard alone, about the Lin family, about Yu Xiao, and about himself.Suddenly realized that life is just a chess game, if you can crack it, you will be surrounded, until the chess game is divided into winners and losers, and now you are just one of the besieged side, but whether you can crack it is still unknown, he is not a god, You can't predict the future, you can only take one step at a time, if you get to the cracked move, you are lucky, if you don't make it, you just lost the game.

"By the way, Jin'er, the envoy from Liufeng Kingdom wants you to accompany him tomorrow."

"Why do I?"

"He said you'll know when you meet."

Although Yu Xiao was unwilling to let Lin Zijin do the interview, the envoy who came this time was Kui Lang, the sixth prince of Liufeng Kingdom. Although his status was noble, there was nothing arrogant about it. Besides, it seemed to be related to Lin Zijin's Personal matters, I can't stop them without authorization.

Although Lin Zijin had some doubts, she didn't ask any further questions, because she was too tired and felt that her consciousness was blurred, so she nodded hastily, fell asleep on the soft couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Zijin went to meet the envoy as promised. He waited outside the side hall where the envoy lived. The moment he saw Kui Lang come out, Lin Zijin felt familiar. Stolen man.

"Why are you~"

"Under Kuilang."

Kui Lang was very happy to see Lin Zijin, but he did not forget the due etiquette, and they still bowed to each other.

"General Lin remembers me because of the lanterns that day?"

"Um."

Lin Zijin didn't quite understand why Kui Lang asked such a question.

"But I remember General Lin, but it was ten years ago in Liufeng. Do you remember? At that time, you came to diplomacy with your father, and there was a child who always lost to you in martial arts competitions with you."

"It seems that there is such a thing... Could it be you that child?!"

"That's right."

Lin Zijin couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that the crying child because he lost to him back then would grow into the tall and mighty appearance he is now, he looked at Kui Lang in surprise.

Kui Lang found it interesting to see Lin Zijin's blank expression, and patted his head, "Can I call you Zijin?"

"Okay, we're friends too~"

I still remember when Lin Zijin went with his father to present the birthday gift to the emperor of Liufeng Kingdom. At that time, he was only ten years old. It was the first time he went to a different place and felt that everything was new. When he was wandering around, he happened to meet Kui Lang who was bullying him. The other children stepped forward to stop them and fought with Kui Lang. After he lost to him, he felt very unwilling and came to Lin Zijin every day to compete, but he never won once. At that time, Lin Zijin I was also happy because of Kui Lang's arrival, and I tirelessly accompanied him in the sword competition, but at that time Lin Zijin left in a hurry, neither of us knew each other's name, besides, Kui Lang had changed too much, so we met again after many years, Lin Zijin did not recognize him.

"Zijin, you haven't changed much."

"It's you who are too tall."

Kui Lang laughed out loud, maybe it was because he finally won against Lin Zijin in some way, or maybe it was because he reunited with Lin Zijin, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly Lin Zijin drew out her saber and pointed it at Kui Lang.

"Let's see if your martial arts have improved~"

Lin Zijin was also extremely happy to meet his old friend, and all his annoyed emotions were thrown out of the sky. Kui Lang responded with his sword and fought Lin Zijin.

Unexpectedly, after seeing each other for only ten years, Kui Lang has already become proficient enough to suppress Lin Zijin. I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t have a good rest last night, but Lin Zijin felt dizzy during the fight. Feeling that the other party's state was not right, Kui Lang immediately withdrew his hand and stepped forward to support Lin Zijin.

"Are you okay?! What's wrong?"

Lin Zijin didn't know why, he shook his head.

"No problem."

"Did you smell a faint fragrance?"

"what?"

"No...how should I put it, it's faint, and now I can't smell it anymore."

Lin Zijin suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager said, that the body will emit a delicate fragrance, it's only been a day, has the effect of the medicine started to take effect slowly?In order to prevent Kui Lang from discovering the strangeness, Lin Zijin changed the topic.

"Kui Lang, what are your plans today? Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to the street to have a look. I think there are so many things here that I can never see them all."

"Okay, let's go to the street then."

Although the street today is not as lively as that day's Lantern Festival, it is still full of people. Women buying rouge smell the fragrance, women choose brocades from different cloth shops, men buy wine, children buy sugar, hawkers sell, teahouses Noisy.

"I like the feeling that everyone is talking and laughing in the street."

"Isn't that where you are too?"

"That was in the past."

Kui Lang showed a serious expression when he said that, but immediately his attention was attracted by the buns on the side of the road.

"By the way, I often see you eating that kind of white round thing, what is that~"

Lin Zijin looked in the direction Kui Lang pointed, and saw that what he was talking about was steamed stuffed buns, so he went into the dim sum shop and bought two warm sauced meat buns for Kui Lang, who ate them. The first steamed stuffed bun in my life, I liked it so much, I bought another one with different fillings, held it in my arms in a paper bag, and still held one in my mouth, because the weather was cold, I could still see the white mist slowly spreading around the steamed stuffed bun. rise.

"No no no no."

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you talking with something in your mouth."

Before he could finish speaking, a steamed stuffed bun was stuffed into Lin Zijin's mouth.

"Try one~"

"I eat this often."

For the convenience of speaking, Lin Zijin took out the bun from his mouth and took a bite.

"Really? I envy you for being able to eat such delicious food~"

"What's this? There's more delicious food here."

"Really?! Take me there!"

"Kui Lang, slow down, don't drag me to run so fast!"

Kui Lang's temper was like a child's, and he let Lin Zijin play wildly with him all day long, just like the Lantern Festival that day, as an envoy, he was supposed to go to the palace to meet, but he concealed his whereabouts, To Kui Lang who left his hometown for the first time, sneaking a look at the lanterns in the Central Plains, the kind of scenery not found in the Western Regions, was like exploring, and every place was full of curiosity.

In Wangxianhou, Lin Zijin ordered a lot of dishes with Central Plains specialties for the greedy Kui Lang to try. After a meal, Kui Lang was very satisfied.

A day of playing made Lin Zijin extraordinarily exhausted. Since yesterday, he has felt that his energy is not as full as before. In the past, when he killed the enemy in the battlefield, he was still full of energy after fighting for three days and three nights. Today, even after going out for a day, he felt very Feeling sleepy, Lin Zijin sent Kui Lang to the resting palace and returned to the Qixiao Palace without staying too long.

"What's wrong? Kui Lang made things difficult for you?"

Yu Xiao, who was reading at night with the lamp on at his desk, felt a little distressed when he saw the tired face of Lin Zijin who had returned. If he had known that it made him so tired, he shouldn't have let him meet Kui Lang.

"No, Kui Lang is an old friend I met in the Western Regions when I was young, and I'm just tired of walking around with him today."

"yes?"

Yu Xiao approached Lin Zijin and took off his heavy coat for him.

"Why do you have a scent on you?"

"Huh? What... what scent?"

"Faintly, you can smell it when you get close to you."

"Isn't there a grove of plum blossoms in front? Maybe it smelled of fragrance when I passed there."

Yu Xiao nodded, he didn't doubt Lin Zijin's words, because he never thought about what his mother did to Lin Zijin.
