The Prince of Rebirth

When the sun was about to set, Xia Jin and the concubine set off for the palace by car. You had to walk to enter the palace. When Xia Jin got off the car, there were already more than a dozen carriages parked outside the palace gate. Get out of the car, and some seem to have been in for a long time, leaving only one or two young servants and the coachman waiting by the side.The servants could never wear furs, and ordinary cotton jackets were not enough to keep out the cold. Seeing that the sky was so cold that it was about to freeze, they did not dare to leave the place to warm themselves by the fire, so they had to tuck their hands and necks into their clothes. , Even the head can't wait to shrink in together.

"It's starting to frost on the ground, step down slowly."

After Xia Jin got out of the car, she turned around and lifted the curtain to help the princess down. Both of them were wearing red today, just to avoid the identity of Concubine Hui and concubine. , but also festive, like a birthday celebration.

"You must not remember all these rules when you first entered the palace, just watch me do it for a while, and remember not to offend the nobles inside."

The concubine seemed to be asking, but Xia Jin felt that these words were talking about herself. In fact, compared to Xia Jin, the concubine was more like the one who would make trouble.

The Concubine Xiang Palace had been set up early in the morning, and the banquet was specially arranged in Lengxiang Garden for today's excitement, but they just wanted to eat, drink and play while admiring the plum blossoms.It is not uncommon for the emperor's concubine to hold a birthday banquet, even if the concubine is favored again, what tricks can she do at the banquet?It's just taking advantage of the fact that the princess from the Ximan side is here as an envoy, shouting to have fun together to show the sincerity of reconciliation.

Xia Jin glanced at the concubine next to her, who was still smiling so nonchalantly, and there was no sign of any strangeness on her face.

Everyone knows that King Dingyuan is Ximan's nemesis. On such an occasion, if Princess Dingyuan and Princess Ximan get together, the emperor's heart is really not so bad.

Xia Jin waited for the princess to be deflated, and felt that she and the princess were of the same family. It would not be good to be bullied by these barbarians from outside the domain. .

"Are you pointing out that I suffered under that little girl's hand in order to take revenge?"

"How can it be? It's not like you don't know my heart for you all these years. This heart is sincere. The world can learn from it, and the sun and the moon can show it."

"Ghost spirit, it's not good for my husband to hear about this."

Xia Jin: ...

He was molested just now, right? Princess, is it really good for you to show your lower limits in front of children like this!

There are a lot of plum trees planted in Lengxiangyuan, and now a large area just happened to bloom. Xia Jin and Wangfei, who escorted the palace people through the Qingqiu Pavilion and were still far away, smelled the cold fragrance.As the night wind intensified, the cold fragrance became stronger and stronger until the wind turned a corner before it dissipated. Thick, but persistent.

The princess teased Xia Jin, and said very seriously:

"In a while, you can skim off some branches and take them back. It would be even better if you can dig a small seedling. It happens that there is no wintersweet in the plum garden, so even if you can't plant a few branches, it's okay to plant a few according to the occasion."

Xia Jin: ...

He thought of the plum branches that had been planted on the bare ground when he first entered the plum garden, and suddenly felt... so shameful.

Concubine, can you still be a little self-conscious as a concubine, and tell him the words of fighting the autumn wind in front of the receptionist, this really can't be lost anymore, and what's more--Meiyuan has been changed to perform martial arts It's time to play, what do you mean by asking a group of men to guard the bare plum blossoms? !

"Auntie, you really love to joke."

The concubine patted Xia Jin on the shoulder, gave a look that I trust you, and then followed the palace servants away in a very serious manner.

Xia Jin: ...

Well, when he hears nothing and sees nothing.

Xia Jin was about to go forward to catch up with the princess when the wind reversed again and blew towards her face. His handkerchief, which had been neglected earlier and turned into dregs, came out at this moment to brush his sense of presence, riding the wind in a daze. It flew a few steps before hanging on a dead branch.

this height...

Well, I guess it would be just right if I came back to get it after a few years. Standing under the branch, Xia Jin looked at the handkerchief, thinking that she didn't need to care about these personal items like a boudoir lady. Anyway, it's impossible for someone to pick it up. To ruin his reputation, Xia Jin turned around and left after thinking about it like this, but unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing not far away.

No outsider was invited to the palace banquet this time, thinking that the people in the palace who are dressed in fine clothes and brocade clothes happen to be of this age, so there should be no one else except the second prince.

Xia Jin's heart skipped a beat. She made a mistake in her busy schedule and almost reached out to salute. Fortunately, Xia Jin wasn't so stupid as to be stupid. Then he straightened up and chased after the princess with the excuse of male and female defense.

Naturally, Xia Jin, who was running so fast, did not see the corner of the boy's mouth twitch behind him.

**

"Where did you go to mess around just now, I told you earlier that the rules in this palace are very strict and you can't mess around - did you go to pick plum branches?"

The concubine pulled Xia Jin to see if there was any winter plum hidden behind him, Xia Jin spread her hand wordlessly for her to take a closer look, and only when the concubine was sure that there were no flowers blooming in her hands did she hum in disappointment, Then he dragged Xia Jin straight to Lengxiangyuan.

Xia Jin opened her mouth, but in the end she gave up complaining about the princess, and just followed her to find the steps to walk forward. While walking, she felt that the person looked familiar just now. As for where the familiarity--

A pair of serious and serious eyes appeared in front of Xia Jin's eyes, but these eyes were embedded in a horrible face.

The palace banquet hasn't started yet, and no one is here yet. What's the use of worrying?The main event will always have to wait some time before it can be brought up.

**

There are only three important people tonight, Concubine Hui, Princess Ximan, and Princess Dingyuan.Is this a drama with three women?Then what is Xia Jin, an old man, doing to get involved in it!The more Xia Jin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, but she had to do so in order to pry Lin Hang's mouth open to get the first-hand information about leaving Beijing.Six years is long enough for both King Dingyuan and the emperor, and the delicate balance that was barely established before may not last long.Xia Jin has no bargaining chip in his hand now, not to mention that he still has to protect Mrs. Zhang. If he wants to get out of the way, he must make early plans. Since he wants to make early plans, he should know when these people are going to attack.

Xia Jin rubbed her brows. They have never given up on looking for Xia Yu and Xia Huan in the past six years, but the most they can get is a beggar who saw two children who came back to visit after Xia's family left Beijing. I can't hear it anymore.In six years, Xia Jin was about to give up, after all, he was too busy to take care of himself and couldn't continue to stay in Beijing for the sake of the two of them.The most important thing right now is to protect my aunt and leave the capital together, otherwise they will be living targets if the two sides fight.

"For a while, there will always be something to add to the fun at the banquet. For the barbarian princess, she specially asked a few daughters of the generals to have an archery competition. The prize is the black iron bow that Hang'er wants. Jin'er, you Listen up—"

The princess whispered to Xia Jin,

"We can't lose face to the Central Plains people, and we must not let those barbarians please us!"

Maybe it's because the family sentiments in Wang Hao's eyes are too contagious, Xia Jin felt a bit of pride for a while, and was about to reply a few words when the Wang Hao took his hand and said more seriously,

"If you win, it will be more convenient when you ask for plum branches, do you know? I'm doing this for your own good too!"

Xia Jin: ...

Well, he can't extravagantly expect that a person like Wang Hao will have much awareness, as long as the first half and the second half are not said by the same person.

The guests were seated one after another, and the princess sat very close to the front because of her high status. Xia Jin was naturally conspicuous together with him, not to mention his all-over demeanor and face that could never be ignored. Xia Jin, who has been used to keeping a low profile all his life, can reveal his eight-pack abs with his gaze, which makes Xia Jin extremely uncomfortable - so many girls are staring at him, how bad it is to be seen.

A certain person was hehehe in his heart, he didn't realize at all that he had been positioned as the number one enemy to steal the limelight tonight by the girls, and he turned his head a little excitedly to see his first love in his previous life, but he didn't wait to see it Then a shrill voice sang:

"The imperial concubine Hui has arrived—"

"The second prince is here—"

All the female relatives stood up to salute, Xia Jin also lowered her head and put her chest on her chest, and only raised her head when the eunuch sat down.

For a moment, the four eyes met.

Xia Jin was stunned for a while, but she just lowered her eyes to avoid it for a moment. Because everyone was seated and no one noticed the eye contact between the two, Xia Jin was relieved, but she couldn't let go of her heart.

He Zheng.

There is a [-]% to [-]% chance that Nima is He Zheng!

Xia Jin's hands trembled a little. He felt that something was wrong after discovering the secret of He Zheng's face. What was it that made a person cover up his face with such a horrible scar since he was a child?If it's just a fight in the inner house, what's the point of ruining a face, only missing arms and legs can truly avoid disaster, so what's the point of He Zheng's mere covering a face?

It is obvious that this face cannot be seen by others!

Xia Jin didn't dare to think about it anymore. People like him can't control these secrets of the palace. He was sweating, and his face was also a little gloomy. The princess watched him and pinched him quietly. The pain in his waist came and the whole person's mind was a little clearer.

"The banquet has begun, don't think about it anymore."

Xia Jin nodded, sat down neatly next to the princess and didn't look at Concubine Hui, but only concentrated on looking at the fruit cakes and drinks on the small table... Well, the jug of wine in front of the princess completely woke Xia Jin up God, someone snatched the jug of wine without saying a word and put it on the table in front of him, not even leaving a wine glass.

The corner of Wang Hao's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly:

"The imperial concubine will make a toast later, what do you want me to drink then? Do you want some soup on a plate?"

Xia Jin thought about it, and returned the wine glass, but the wine jug would never be returned.

"You can have some soup in a wine glass."
