Rebirth of the first courtier

Hu Li was held down by Xiao Qi'ao and lay on the bed for a few days before finally getting out of bed. As soon as the suffocated Hu Li got Xiao Qi'ao's nod, he immediately took Qiu Xi and the two servants in the imperial city Turned around.

The lotus leaf chicken that he wanted to eat so much when he was drinking the medicine, he finally ate his fill in Tianxiang Tower. Every day when he returned to Xiao's mansion with Qiuxi, he looked satisfied, and every time Xiao Qi'ao laughed and called him a greedy cat!

Hu Li carelessly fiddled with the red halberd that had grown a lot, thinking, I am not a greedy cat, I am obviously a fox.

Xiao Qi'ao handed a letter and a food box to the Eighth Prince, who has become more ruddy these days, "Xiao Li brought you the snacks he ordered his servants to make, and asked my minister to bring them to you." Try it."

Qin Yuyi took the letter and put it aside, opened the food box, and there were a few plates of small snacks inside, all delicately made and lovely, and a sweet smell came over his face.

"When can I go out to see brother Huli?" Qin Yuyi looked at Xiao Qi'ao expectantly, Xiao Qi'ao said with a smile, "Your Highness, I just took advantage of the loopholes to bring Xiaoli in last time, if you want to Going out, I'm afraid we can only wait for His Majesty's consent."

Qin Yuyi's expectant eyes suddenly dimmed, and he stared at the sweet snacks in the food box for a while, "Sir, hurry up to the Imperial Academy, it will be late."

Xiao Qi'ao nodded with a smile, and pointed to the letter that Qin Yuyi put aside, "Your Highness must take a good look at the contents of this letter. In the coming year, I will take an examination for Your Highness."

"Okay, sir."

Qin Yuyi looked at Xiao Qi'ao's back, and Xiao Xiazi, who had been silently following him all this time, left from the other side of the garden.

Mr. said that he could perform the duties of a teacher, but he could not be called a teacher. In the end, Qin Yuyi could only call him Mr.

Last time, my husband took Hu Li's brother into the palace secretly, that should be the happiest day since he became sensible.

Brother Hu Li raised a young eagle called Chiji. Although it is not yet an adult eagle, Brother Hu Li said that it will grow very fierce in the future.And Chiji is very smart, brother Hu Li said that Chiji can understand some simple words.

Ever since brother Hu Li came here once, he often asks his husband to bring him something that he thinks is delicious and fun.

Qin Yuyi pinched her face, and asked Xiao Xiazi beside her, "Have I gained some weight?"

Xiao Xiazi nodded with joy in his voice, "Your Highness has indeed gained some weight these days, but he is still a little thin. This servant sees that Mr. Xiao is a capable person. Your Highness, our current situation is not good. You..."

Qin Yuyi shook his head, biting his lips, "Xiao Xiazi, I know that Mr. is very powerful, and I heard that the emperor admires Mr. very much. But I am afraid that Mr. mostly sympathizes with me. I have to make myself a useful person in the eyes of Mr. Get support and help from Mr.

Xiao Xiazi lowered her head and carefully followed behind Qin Yuyi, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. We can't count on other people in the palace, we can only place our hopes on Master Xiao." Speaking of this, Xiao Xiazi sighed, "Slave doesn't know that although Master Xiao has some affection for you, but..."

Qin Yuyi frowned, but calmed down in an instant, "Xiao Xiazi, no one can get love for no reason. This is the first thing my husband taught me. You don't have to care about me and have no power, even A prince who doesn't even have a presence in the palace, I know that my husband promised to teach me, maybe I have some use value, but those have to be in the context of my usefulness."

Xiao Xiazi sighed in a low voice, "Your Highness, Xiao Xiazi doesn't know anything else, but he still knows about being able to avoid being bullied with big fists."

Qin Yuyi didn't speak, but the veins on the hand holding the handle of the food box were bulging. Maybe the only ones in this world who liked him for no reason were Xiao Xiazi and Hu Li's elder brother.

Xiao Qiao didn't know Qin Yuyi's thoughts, but he knew that with Qin Yuyi's intelligence, it was only a matter of time before he thought of these things.

Xiao Qi'ao greeted several colleagues, sat on the seat, sorted out some urgently needed materials, and put them aside.

"Editor Xiao, I will stop writing tomorrow, do you want to go drink together?" Sitting next to him, Mrs. Lin stretched his waist, and turned to ask Xiao Qi'ao who was still writing, "Hey, Xiao Editing does not need to be so hard, these things will be used in the next year, and it can be sorted out after the year.”

Xiao Qi'ao smiled and shook his head, "I always have to do it, I'm afraid I'll forget it after the year."

"Editor Xiao, you are too serious. You don't have to be like this in the Imperial Academy." Master Lin said with a smile, "Hey, are you going to drink tomorrow?"

Xiao Qi'ao nodded, "It's okay, but Qi'ao can't drink well. If Mr. Lin can't enjoy himself at that time, don't say that the subordinates disturbed your interest."

Master Lin smiled heartily, and waved his hands, "Well, we adults will all go tomorrow, and we haven't had a good gathering since the beginning of winter."

Xiao Qi'ao kept writing, listening to Mr. Lin rambling on about some trivial matters of the Imperial Academy, his thoughts had drifted away.

Although Mr. Lin said that he was only doing a casual job in the Imperial Academy, he later invited him to the Ministry of Industry, and was later respected for his flood control.

Thinking of the great flood in the south two years later, Xiao Qi'ao withdrew his thoughts and looked at the leisurely Master Lin, and said with a smile: "Stop talking, the other adults dare not agree to your invitation to drink tomorrow."

Master Lin looked at the other adults in the same room looking at him with livid faces, and touched his nose embarrassingly, "It's just a matter of old millet rotten sesame seeds, these adults are open-minded people, don't worry about it." Don't care about it!"

The other adults sneered and ignored him.Master Lin is famous for being able to chatter in the Hanlin Academy. As long as we work together for a long time, Master Lin can tell everyone's past stories.

Today's weather was not good, it was gloomy, and when Xiao Qi'ao and others were about to return home, there were already scattered snowflakes in the sky.

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, the white mist blocked his sight.After saying goodbye to several adults in front of the palace gate, they got into the hot carriage.

"Don't go back to the residence yet," Xiao Qi'ao told the coachman outside through the curtain, "go to Linglong Pavilion."

"Hey, okay." The coachman responded loudly, and with a flick of his whip, the horse kicked and started to move.

The cold weather in winter can't stop people's anticipation for the coming New Year. Children wearing thick winter clothes ran across the bluestone road laughing and laughing.Xiao Qi'ao opened the curtains and took a look, thinking that Hu Li, who was chattering this morning, was just like these children, carefree.Thinking of this, Xiao Qi'ao chuckled, "Where is Xiaoli, is he still teaching Chiji how to speak?"

As soon as Shuzhu heard it, he burst out laughing with a "puchi", the young master didn't know what was wrong, since a few days ago, he had been obsessed with teaching Chiji a young eagle to speak, and he hasn't given up until now.

"No, the young master said today that if Chiji still can't speak during the Chinese New Year, let him be a vegetarian for a year." Shuzhu couldn't help laughing when he thought of the young master staring at Chiji angrily.

Xiao Qi'ao smiled and shook his head, "I didn't know he was so persistent before."

Shuzhu chuckled, "From my point of view, the young master is just a novelty for a while. If it weren't for the fact that Young Master He brought a mynah to the mansion a few days ago, the young master would not have to let Chiji learn to speak. "

Xiao Qi'ao laughed helplessly and cursed, "He Zhaohua went to tease Xiaoli every day, provoked him to do this and that all day long, and next time let the porter stop him outside the house."

Shuzhu followed suit with a laugh, and after a while the carriage stopped in front of an exquisite attic, and a handsome boy walked out of the attic, looked at Xiao Qiao who got off the carriage, and said with a respectful smile: "Master Xiao, what you ordered earlier We have already done."

Xiao Qi'ao nodded faintly, and walked into this exquisite attic named Linglong Pavilion.Linglong Pavilion is famous in the imperial city for its skilled craftsmen. At first, Linglong Pavilion was just a small jade shop. Later, because it took in a skilled craftsman, it gradually became the most popular carving shop in the imperial city today.

In Linglong Pavilion, as long as the customer can afford the price, no matter what kind of carvings they want, the master can make them, and the styles are novel, and they will definitely not be the same as any carvings in the world today.

Xiao Qi'ao sat in the cabinet of Linglong Pavilion, and the servant served tea, "Master Xiao, please wait a moment, the carvings you ordered will be delivered soon."

"No hurry." Xiao Qi'ao looked at the Linglong Pavilion. At this time, the Linglong Pavilion was not as magnificent as the Seventh Prince's renovation after he helped the Seventh Prince to subdue it later, and still retained its elegant details everywhere.

"Is Master still living in Xishan?" Xiao Qi'ao asked the servant standing beside him, withdrawing his scrutiny.

The little servant was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiao Qiao to ask about the master, and he nodded after a while, "Yes, the master still lives in Xishan." Thinking that Master Xiao in front of him might also be asking the master to do it. Some things, the servant bowed, "My lord, although the master still lives in Xishan, he doesn't see outsiders very much anymore."

Xiao Qiao waved his hand, "Just asking, don't be nervous."

After waiting for a while, two servants came in with a tray in their hands and stood in front of Xiao Qi'ao.

"Lord Xiao, the things you ordered have arrived. You can take a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can fix it for you." The delicate servant lifted the red cloth from the tray and followed Xiao Qiao in. Shuzhu looked enviously at the things on the tray, drooling greedily.

There is a string of Buddhist beads on a tray. From a distance, the beads seem to be shrouded in clouds and mist. You can only see them when you walk in. On the small beads, there are Buddha statues carved with benevolent eyebrows.The most coincident thing is that after the beads are connected together, the Buddha statue on it seems to be alive.

And the things on the other tray look no different from ordinary hair bands, except that there are more gemstones embellished than ordinary hair crowns.

"The things made by Linglong Pavilion are indeed exquisite, please help me to put them on." After Xiao Qi'ao had seen them, he signaled the boy to put them on. This is a gift he will give to his grandmother and Xiaoli at the beginning of the year.As for others, just pick some from the small warehouse.

A few days ago, Xiao Qiao came to Linglong Pavilion just to order a string of Buddhist beads for the old lady, and suddenly remembered that he had asked about Hu Li's birthday before, and only then did he know that the eighth day of the Lunar New Year next year would be his 15th birthday.

Although I was surprised that Hu Li was 14 years old, but since it's the age of curly hair, let's give him a hair tie!
