After tossing all night, Emperor Xia Jing finally drove back to the palace with his guard of honor, and everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that Prince Dada is under the care of the imperial doctor, the guards of the other courtyard have been handed over to the commander of Su, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities are busy arresting Samule, and it seems that there is nothing to do with Prince Rui, so he sent the frail and sick Lin Gongzi back, but the direction is still going to the Rui Palace.

Lin Xi sat in front of Prince Rui's horse as usual, but this time there was no urgency, and the sound of the horse's hooves was also clicking, slowly.

Finally there is no need to hug Zhao Jingyi, although for the sake of safety, one of Lord Rui's arms is still wrapped around his waist, Lin Xi is facing the direction of the horse's head, thinking of the previous things, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

It's not easy for everyone, especially myself, it's just tears when I talk too much.

"The matter of the Tai Hospital, this king just took it upon himself to refuse, and now there is no one, do you have any ideas according to the truth?"

Lin Xi came back to his senses, turned his face slightly, and then shook his head: "The grass people still want to thank the prince, the emperor's grace is not good, but the grass people really don't want to enter the hospital." ”

On Lin Xi's invisible head, Zhao Jingyi slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his voice was not so cold, "You are still young, there is no need to worry, it is not too late to make plans when you are filial." ”

Is it planned, he already has it, but listening to Zhao Jingyi say this, it seems that this Rui Wang Ye still plans to help him pave the way?

Maybe tonight there is the affection of being attacked together, Lin Xi said boldly and boldly: "At that time, please ask the prince for some advice." ”

As soon as the words came out, Lin Xi regretted it a little, what is the difference between this and clearly letting Zhao Jingyi open the back door, the old mistake has been made again.

Prince Rui simply said, "Okay." ”

The majestic gate of the palace had arrived, and Zhao Jingyi helped Lin Xi and let him get off the horse.

"Lin Xi. ”

Lin Xi was about to go inside when he heard Zhao Jingyi calling him, so he turned his head with a puzzled face.

Zhao Jingyi didn't know why he suddenly blurted out like this, and when he saw the young man turn around, he hesitated but shook his head, "Go in." ”

The two of them walked to Qi Yunxuan, and Gonggong Cao had already prepared hot water and ginger soup waiting for them.

"Quick, Wang Ye and Lin Gongzi both drank a bowl of ginger soup to go to the cold, tossed all night, and then drank a bowl of hot porridge to fill their stomachs. Especially Lin Gongzi, you have to drink two bowls, it's hard for you to be a child on a cold day. ”

Gonggong Cao smiled and looked at Lin Xi after drinking the ginger soup, and handed over the hot porridge, gold silk and white fungus, not sweet or greasy, Lin Xi drank it all with satisfaction, and really admired the cooking skills of the chef of Rui Wangfu.

The little appearance of bending his eyebrows and eyes that was extremely satisfied made Grandpa Cao like it even more.

The snub Rui Wang Ye took the porridge bowl and leaned down, and asked casually, "Rong'er is resting?"

Gonggong Cao gave Zhao Jingyi's bowl to the maid and said with a smile: "It's all three watches, where can the prince stay up and go to bed early." Wang Ye and Lin Gongzi also settled earlier, Lin Gongzi was still in the east wing. ”

Although Lin Xi was a little sleepy, when he mentioned Zhao Yuanrong, he suddenly remembered the cat and mouse painting that was still lying on the desk in the small study, and the lantern he promised had not yet landed.

But the skeleton of the lantern ...... His gaze subconsciously looked at Zhao Jingyi.

This father is really irresponsible, obviously he was the first to promise Zhao Yuanrong.

"What?" Zhao Jingyi seemed puzzled.

Lin Xi whispered: "The grass people promised the prince today to make him a lantern, and he can see it at the first glance when he wakes up tomorrow, but ......"

Zhao Jingyi waited for him to continue.

Thinking of the disappointed look on Zhao Yuanrong's face just now, Lin Xi was a little bold, "The grass people have already painted most of it, and they still need to polish the cover a little to finish, but the grass people don't know how to make lantern shelves, I don't know if the prince is willing...... Hitch?"

Lin Xi really didn't dare to say in front of Zhao Jingyi, you promised your son, it's not good to break your promise.

Zhao Jingyi didn't speak, but his expression was a little unnatural, obviously his busy father forgot the casual promise.

Zhao Yuanrong's small study

Long and thin bamboo flats, full pots of paste, scissors, knives and other tools for making lanterns were sent in one by one under the command of Gonggong Cao.

The two of them, who were tired for a day in the middle of the night, did not rest, and Grandpa Cao was helpless and relieved, so he could only beckon the maid to make the candlelight brighter and add some charcoal pots.

Zhao Jingyi stood aside with his hands behind his back, and only after he was ready did he sit down and occupy most of the desk.

But as soon as his hands were raised, he couldn't help frowning between his eyebrows.

Cao Gonggong, who was always paying attention to the prince, noticed that something was wrong, the candlelight was not lit before, Zhao Jingyi was wearing dark clothes and his movements were naturally unaware, but now when he looked closely, he found the white gauze wrapped in the dilapidated wound, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Lord Wang, you are injured!"

Lin Xi's heart trembled, seeing that the old man's chrysanthemum face turned white, he couldn't help but glance over. He knew how deep the wound was, but Zhao Jingyi didn't have the consciousness of the injured person at all, and his movement was not hindered, and he forgot about it for a while.

"It's just a small injury, no need to make a fuss. Zhao Jingyi put down his hand, his face was as usual, he looked at his miserable arm that was tied, glanced at Lin Xi lightly, and instructed Gonggong Cao, "Go down." ”

Lin Xi pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but he couldn't be blamed for this, he was the most wronged, he was dragged out again in the middle of the night, and after worrying and being scared all the way, he had to make lanterns for his children...... The more I thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and a wave of anger slowly grew from the bottom of my heart, and Lin Xi hurriedly stopped.

After settling down, he thought that his bandaging skills were indeed unsightly, so he asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, let's re-bandage it for you, as for this lantern...... You owe your health to you, and the grass people themselves ...... Just figure it out for yourself. ”

I have endured this high-ranking prince for so long, and now I can pass it if I endure it.

Zhao Jingyi's gaze crossed Lin Xi's slender fingers, there was no trace of cocoons on them, and then looked at those bamboo flats, and there was obvious suspicion on his face.

Then I heard him say, "No, this king promised Rong'er that he would do it." Gonggong Cao, you go and get the gauze, and let Lin Gongzi bandage the king again. ”

The things decided by the prince of his family basically couldn't be changed, but thinking that Lin Xi's medical skills were good, he was relieved and left.

As soon as Gonggong Cao's figure left, Lin Xi heard Zhao Jingyi's lukewarm voice, "Once born, twice matured, this time I think Lin Gongzi will be good and progressive." ”

Lin Xi's face turned red, and he couldn't help but greet Zhao Jingyi's ancestor in his heart, who wants to grow into this skill, he doesn't want to be a doctor.

But who called this the prince, Lin Xi could only suppress the anger in his heart again, silently slandering in his heart, and he had to carefully change the gauze for this lord in his hands.

However, I didn't look carefully before in a hurry, and the flesh and blood turned out wound really shocked Lin Xi's heart.

Lin Xi is afraid of hardship, tiredness, pain and death, and sometimes makes Lin Qing suspect that he actually has a daughter. Zhao Jingyi, who did not change his color and looked at Lin Xi lightly, calmly looked at Lin Xi, who was a real man.

How much power there is, how much burden he carries, the unevenness seems to have disappeared, so Lin Xi honestly bandaged Zhao Jingyi's wounds.

And at this moment, Zhao Jingyi just quietly looked at the young man whose movements were becoming more and more gentle, at first he was still a little angry, and his subordinates seemed to deliberately increase some strength, but it was nothing to him, and then he seemed to want to open it, so he became gentle.

Zhao Jingyi has thoroughly investigated Lin Xi's life experience, he has been tortured by illness since he was a child, and his father died in prison not long after, he is only sixteen years old, alone, and now he can face everyone calmly and calmly, so commendable.

Thinking of this, this Rui prince, who has always had a heart higher than the sky, finally felt guilty about the young man in front of him.

The young man's lowered side face, revealing a soft outline, and the serious gaze under the low eyelashes made the heart that had always been cold and hard suddenly soften.

Lin Xi finally tied a beautiful bow and cut off the excess gauze with satisfaction, "It's better not to move, so that the wound heals quickly, and don't see water in the next few days......"

Lin Xi raised his head as he spoke, but suddenly paused, a surprised expression appeared on his face, his eyes widened and he blinked, only to see that rare gentleness and smile slowly receding from Zhao Jingyi's face.

The iron tree blooms, it is rare to see for a thousand years!

Lin Xi was stunned, and then somehow, he felt the heat burn all the way from his ears to his cheeks, and he quickly lowered his head, trying to ignore the accelerated heartbeat.

Zhao Jingyi has always liked to have a paralyzed face, and she has not smiled all year round, giving people the feeling that she is becoming more and more cold and handsome, and she is unattainable. But suddenly hooked the corners of his lips so shallowly, with a slight temperature in his eyes, which made Lin Xi feel that this man had gone to the other extreme, and he could almost kill people, and the woman probably pounced directly when she saw it.

Zhao Jingyi withdrew his arm and objectively evaluated, "There is progress." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi sighed lightly, the strange atmosphere just now was a little inappropriate for him, he walked back to his place, and spread out the half-drawn picture in front of him, and asked, "But the prince still wants to continue to do it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Jingyi's arm.

Zhao Jingyi didn't say a word, and directly picked up the bamboo flat and filaments and began to weave them, and looking at the posture, it didn't seem to be a new hand.

Seeing Lin Xi's surprised gaze, Zhao Jingyi didn't want to admit that he was a little proud in his heart, but his voice was still a little higher than usual, "When I was a child, it was also the Lantern Festival, and there were lanterns in the palace, and it was stipulated that they were not allowed to buy outside. At that time, my father was busy, so the king followed the master to learn for two days to make a goldfish lamp and won the leader. ”

It turned out to be practiced, so Lin Xi exclaimed: "The prince is amazing, which makes the grass people admire." ”

There is no need to say such nonsense. Zhao Jingyi suddenly didn't want to hear these flattering words from Lin Xi's mouth, "In the future, there is no need to call yourself a 'grass people' in front of this king." ”

That's really good! Lin Xi didn't want to use this humble self-humility at all, but he had to excuse himself again, "The grass people don't dare." ”

Zhao Jingyi frowned slightly, looking at him, "This king said that if you don't have to, you don't have to." ”

"Yes. This time the response was very crisp, but the voice was a little heavy, and it seemed that some emotions had been accidentally leaked.

Zhao Jingyi glanced at Lin Xi with a smile, but didn't say anything, just focused on his shelf.

Lin Xi put down the paintbrush, his task was almost completed, and now it has been completed, just wait for it to dry and paste it directly.

And the fourth watch has passed, he is a little sleepy, today's experience is too heavy, and his body seems to be unable to bear it. It's just that Prince Rui is still concentrating on making a fight, and he really can't leave to rest first.

So he supported his head with his hands and turned sideways to look at Zhao Jingyi with his eyes open.

This gaze fell on his body made Zhao Jingyi a little unnatural, but he did not warn back with a sharp gaze as usual, but silently let Lin Xi watch, but his body subconsciously slowly tightened, and his back became straighter and straighter.

After a while, it wasn't until this mang-like gaze gradually disappeared that Zhao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Lin Xi, but found that Lin Xi had already closed his eyes with his head propped up, his long eyelashes cast a small shadow in the candlelight, and he made a shallow breathing sound regularly, and the young man's sleeping face looked peaceful and beautiful.

Zhao Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly, he felt that the previous nervousness was simply ridiculous.

His eyes paused on the blanket on the warm couch at the back of the study, and then he continued to weave the shelves as if nothing had happened, but it didn't take long for him to stand up and take the blanket and gently cover Lin Xi's body.

Guiltily said to himself that he was still a child, but he was always tossed by him.

The next step is fast, and the simplest round light stand is done quickly.

Zhao Jingyi took the painting that Lin Xi put on the desk, looked at it, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

This is a very simple action continuous, a big-eared and big-eyed brown mouse while looking forward to run, the back of the gray cat open its teeth and claws to chase, but the novelty is that the head and tail are connected, pasted on the round lantern like a marquee, turn up the cat and mouse running action is vivid, it looks very interesting.

Zhao Jingyi carefully pasted the corners and corners, meticulously without the slightest damage, and a cat and mouse lantern was completed.

He looked at the lamp, and then looked at the young man who was asleep on the table, and couldn't help but feel a faint but unfamiliar joy in his heart, and he had the intention to wake up Lin Xi to take a look, but in the end he still laughed, feeling incredible about his strange thoughts.

So he put down the lamp, leaned to Lin Xi's side, slowly lifted his upper body up and leaned on his arms, and then picked up the young man, the movement seemed to be swift, but in fact gentle, seeing that the sleeping young man just frowned, and did not wake up, he walked out of the study door and walked towards the east wing with confidence.
