When the cannon fodder gets the golden finger [Transmigration Book]

After a night of rain, it finally subsided in the wee hours of the morning, and the wet mist permeated the early morning of July.The sky was still dark, and the sound of horseshoes came from the quiet street, and the clatter of horseshoes disturbed the tranquility.

Zhao Xi pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, and got up and opened the door when he heard the noise. There were two people in the wet yard after a night of rain.Li Tong, who was dressed as a guard, suddenly appeared here, and Housekeeper Zhao was leading him to the side room.

"Young master is awake?" Li Tong was a little surprised seeing him wake up so early, and then introduced: "This is an adult from the palace, who came to take the royal clothes of the son."

When Zhao Xilong was in the palace, he only met Li Tong three times, and he couldn't tell the reason, but he had a deep impression on him.He was still dressed in the same way at the moment, with shabby clothes and a lot of broken hair covering his eyes.

Zhao Xi was wearing pajamas, the ancients were very particular about the etiquette of clothing, he also felt a little inappropriate at this moment, nodded and took a step back before closing the door.

"Take your lord there," he said to the housekeeper, "Don't blame Guard Li, you're being rude."

"Nothing." Li Tong said something, and followed.

Zhao Xi went back to the house to change his clothes, and took a while to tie his hair, but when he came out, he had already left.

After Zhao Xueyang went to court, he went to Dali Temple to order a Mao, and then returned home.

"His Royal Highness." The servant in the front hall saluted.

Zhao Xi raised his head and saw Zhao Xueyang wearing court clothes, walking towards this side quickly, climbing up the steps and crossing the threshold in two or three steps.She smiled at him and said, "I didn't expect something to delay me for so long. Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhao Xi glanced at him and continued to bury his head on the rice paper, and said casually: "With the sound of rain, it's very sweet."

"Really?" Seeing that he didn't look at him, Zhao Xueyang took off the black gauze hat and handed it to the servant on the side, looking at the side of his face that was facing him.

"Ah."

Suddenly reaching out to support his chin, Zhao Xueyang turned his face over and took a closer look.I saw two faint bruises under those beautiful moves, and the touch on my hands was slippery, and I couldn't help pinching them.

"Why did you go last night?" He asked, frowning. "Come here—tell me what the master did yesterday!"

Zhao Xi stared at him, and said without energy: "I slept too much in the afternoon, so I can't sleep at night. Let me go..."

He grinned and teased, "Don't be lonely, can you?" He withdrew his hand and sat down.

Zhao Xi ignored him, and lowered his head to copy the characters, as if he didn't care whether he came back or not.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Xueyang asked again, and ordered to pass the meal after getting the answer.

Zhao Xueyang seemed to be in a good mood, talking all the time while eating, and kept bringing food to Zhao Xi.

"Come on, I'll serve you a bowl of soup." He reached out to serve him the soup again, scooped up a spoonful of balls made of white tofu, thought of something and smiled.

Zhao Xi took the bowl and looked at him suspiciously.

"It just so happened that I had this 'White Jade and Seven Star Soup' for dinner at Tianchen Palace last night," Zhao Xueyang said with a smile, "The fifth princess is also there, she suddenly realized this dish and said something inexplicable, and then I asked her in private, I just realized that you actually told her that I love this tofu soup the most, hahaha—”

Having said that, he also remembered,

When they met for the first time, the fifth princess asked him about Zhao Xueyang's taste preferences. He couldn't remember the name, so he thought about making tofu, and said tofu soup. Fortunately, the fifth princess might not understand it either.

On the second day, I only brought lotus cake.

With a distressed expression on his face, he frowned and said, "I really didn't know it was such an irrelevant name." Just a bowl of soup, the main ingredients are seven white balls made of mashed tofu, what is it if it's not tofu soup?What is it called Baiyu Qixing Soup?

Zhao Xueyang scooped up a spoonful of meatballs for him and watched him eat them.

Zhao Xi felt awkward being watched like this while eating tofu.

"I didn't go to the appointment last night." Zhao Xueyang said suddenly, "I came to Qiming Palace early this morning and said I wanted to ask me something."

Zhao Xi swallowed the tofu, and guessed: "Let you ask the emperor to marry her?"

"Yeah." He nodded, scooped up the porridge and drank it. "But I didn't agree. This is the fate of the two princesses. If I save one, I will push the other into the flames."

His eyes were a little dazed, as if he couldn't bear it, Zhao Xi looked at him quietly.

"She cried pitifully." Zhao Xueyang pursed her lips and sighed.

He also felt very uncomfortable. Although he didn't like the fifth princess, he studied in a bookstore for a long time, and the school training was often in front of his eyes, so he could be regarded as a friend.Seeing her crying so helplessly but being unable to help, he felt guilty in his heart.

Zhao Xi saw his loss, and asked aloud: "Are you feeling guilty and want to help her? Actually, if you think about it—"

"I don't think about anything." Zhao Xueyang interrupted him, "It's a bit hard to marry a foreign race, but there is still a glimmer of hope. The emperor will not let her marry me. Besides, the fifth princess is a good girl, and we are not suitable."

Zhao Xi understood his scruples. The emperor was afraid of the Zhao family and wanted to eradicate dissidents. Even if he couldn't, the next emperor who ascended the throne would continue this matter.The Huaiyang royal family and the royal family will definitely turn against each other. As a royal family, the fifth princess will be the one who suffers the most no matter what happens in the future.Compared with what is in front of me, it may be more tragic.

Zhao Xi nodded and didn't answer the conversation, knowing in his heart that this topic was over.Since then, they haven't mentioned the marriage again.A few days later, the person sent by the emperor to investigate the attack on the fourth princess was also selected, because several forces tried to intervene, but they muttered about the emperor's feeling of losing his beloved daughter. Baihua Pavilion accompanied Concubine Qi.

A guard army of more than a dozen people was transferred, led by Li Tong and officials from the Ministry of Punishment, to secretly go to northern Xinjiang to investigate the case, and issued a secret decree to the Zhenbei Army, giving them the right to cooperate with Li Tong. part of the force.

When the news came, Zhao Xueyang and Zhao Xi were drinking flowers and wine in the Dream Tower, and Xiaoling's Yueqin sounded in their ears. The oiran sat in front of them and shared the news he had just received from the third prince.

"Li Tong." Zhao Xi said noncommittally.Unexpected and reasonable.In the past two years, Li Tong's position has not been promoted, but he has won the emperor's trust and is already the head of the emperor's guards.It is not as convenient as a military officer to send a civil servant to this kind of thing.Li Tong is solely responsible for this matter.

"I heard that the lord is very handsome and powerful in martial arts." Yuan Meng leaned gracefully on the other side of Luo Hantao, with Yubai's wrist resting on his cheek. "I don't know if I will be lucky enough to meet you when I leave the city in a few days."

Zhao Xi smiled, but said nothing.In the book, Yuanmeng is Lu Yuanda's person, and he has targeted the heroine many times because of him. She is a supporting actress with a lot of roles, but since Zhao Xueyang saved her once by the river that year, she has a secret heart, and she doesn't know how to develop it. , and now he is actually helping Zhao Xueyang.I often get a lot of news from Lu Yuanda.

The two were talking, Zhao Xueyang didn't know if he was listening or not, sitting by the window seemed to be lost in thought.Yuanmeng stopped talking after finishing talking, and looked straight at Zhao Xueyang with a pair of beautiful eyes.

While sipping tea, Zhao Xi listened to the music played by Xiao Ling, and babbled and sang some little songs with southern tunes.

"People are coming." Zhao Xueyang said suddenly.

Zhao Xi probed and looked along, and saw a young man in simple clothes in the crowd below, followed by a servant, coming towards Huimenglou.

"King Ning?" He recognized the figure, turned his head and said to Yuan Meng, "You should leave first."

Yuan Meng glanced out the window, got up lazily, and straightened her dress. "The slave will go down first."

While speaking, his gaze went back and forth several times on Zhao Xueyang, seeing that he never looked over, he helped the flowers on his temples, turned around and left the room.

It didn't take long before I remembered the sound of footsteps outside, all the way to their next door.
