Emperor Xia Jing didn't go to any concubines this day, and waited for his nephew to arrive in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but it was a little strange to see that the time for the key had arrived, and there was no one. し。

This is to understand, don't you plan to hang yourself on Lin Xi's tree?

But think about it, Mr. Bai is strictly guarded, for his little apprentice at that time, he didn't give him the face of the prince at that time, saying that he was not allowed to let in when he closed the door, it was useless to wait for a long time, and he closed the door every day, and ate one meal after another, Every time he can make people laugh for a long time, he has to retreat if his self-esteem is a little stronger. What's more, since he was a child, Emperor Jing of Great Xia had never seen his nephew so bothered and still couldn't get it.

There are many excellent men in the world, let Prince Tarui choose.

Although I think so, but I can't help but have some regrets, the emperor is lonely, and it is rare to have such fun to watch.

However, Emperor Xia Jing was thinking about walking towards Yijing Palace, when he saw his father-in-law walk in with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui asks to see you. ”

Suddenly, Emperor Xia Jingdi's spirits perked up, and even his sitting posture straightened, and he said in a calm voice: "Xuan." ”

Glancing at Zhao Jingyi rarely, Emperor Xia Jing couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not giving up?" I won't help you suppress Master Bai, Lin Xi is his only apprentice, and he is the son who protects him. ”

Zhao Jingyi raised his head, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes, "It's okay, the nephew is sincere, he must always be able to see the sun and the moon in the clouds, and there are nephews and nephews, and no one dares to marry Lin Xi, as long as the uncle doesn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum." ”

Emperor Xia Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he suddenly found that this nephew was getting bolder and bolder, and he dared to play his side drum, but this kind of occasional being regarded as a backer was not bad, so he was not angry, waved his hand and said: "I don't bother to take care of your, but this kind of thing, most people will not agree, Lin Xi has a great future, why should he be involved with you?"

This kind of bitter words made Emperor Xia Jingdi himself lose his taste, Zhao Jingyi really didn't think so, and showed a smile of ambition, he said: "You don't know, Lin Xi is easy to be soft-hearted, and he doesn't like to tear his face, even now that I am pressing step by step, I just hide in the White Mansion and don't show up." After a long time, he will get used to being with me, and he would have been fine before, if it weren't for those rumors...... Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, and I still have Rong'er, and he is even more reluctant to embarrass Rong'er. ”

This attachment is really terrifying, Emperor Xia Jing was shocked and sympathetic to Lin Xi at the same time, it is really not easy to be targeted by such a person.

He looked at his nephew again with a complicated face, not knowing whether to praise him for his infatuation or scold him for being crazy.

"Uncle, help me again this time, the Qionglin banquet was originally set up for the top three in today's department, Zhuang Yuanlang is not in accordance with the rules in the first place, the old gentleman's protector is understandable, but Lin Xi will enter the officialdom in the future after all, is it possible to hide in the Baifu as well?"

Naturally, he can't, but just after listening to the heartbroken words, Xia Jingdi understands the old man's broken heart very well, and it's better not to see him.

If he changed his identity, Emperor Xia Jing would simply kick him back to the frontier and not return to Beijing in this life.

It's just that the emperor's heart is biased after all, no matter how talented Lin Xi is, no matter how appreciated he is, he can't shake Zhao Jingyi in the slightest, so Emperor Xia Jing agreed, but only warned: "I will issue a holy decree, but you have to promise me, don't mess around at the Qionglin banquet, dare to lose royal face, you will go back to the frontier, and never see each other for the rest of your life." ”

Zhao Jingyi was satisfied, knelt down and thanked him, "Yes." ”

Emperor Xia Jing could only sigh.

Lin Xi checked the manuscript one by one, corrected the typos, and copied it again in a proper handwriting, before putting down the pen and breathing a sigh of relief around his wrist, but it was only three days of work, as if a century had passed.

Mother Zhou glanced into the study, and saw that Lin Xi was stretching her waist, so she immediately walked in with a soup cup, carefully avoiding the manuscript on the table, and flattened it, "Young master, let's drink soup first." ”

Lifting the lid, a strong fragrance came to his nose, Lin Xi couldn't help but sniff and leaned up, "It's so fragrant, it's Mother Zhou's best nourishing soup." ”

Mother Zhou looked at Lin Xi's puppy and sniffed, as innocent as she was when she was a child, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "The more you live, the more you go back, drink it." ”

Lin Xi was really hungry, so he couldn't care about Sven, and drank two bowls before he felt strength.

When Mother Zhou was drinking soup in Lin Xi, she looked at his face carefully, her eyes were a little blue, and her expression was tired, but she was not depressed, and the boiling outside did not seem to affect him.

"Young Master, what are your plans?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi put down the bowl and spoon, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, unconsciously looked at the door through the door and window of the study, and asked, "Has he been here these days?"

Mother Zhou nodded, "I must come every day, but I can't get in." ”

Lin Xi then showed a reassuring smile and handed the empty bowl to Zhou's mother.

"This last bowl can't be drunk anymore, and it's time for lunch soon. Having said that, Mother Zhou still filled the bowl and put it in front of Lin Xi, looking at her young master's trusting appearance, she couldn't help but feel worried, "What will you and the prince do in the future, but I am really worried about the slave and maid, and I have dreamed that my wife scolded the slave and maid for not doing her duty to persuade you." ”

Lin Xi said while drinking: "Who can predict the future? At least the current situation is much better than when the rumors were spreading, the emperor does not blame me, on the contrary, he even feels a little guilty about me! As long as Zhao Jingyi insists, after a long time, even if he and I are really more open, we will be expected to respond to the prince's infatuation." ”

When Zhou's mother heard Lin Xi say this, she knew that there was no possibility of a change of heart, and she was both sad and happy in her heart, and she didn't know how to describe this feeling for a while.

"Mother Zhou, believe me, I will always make the Lin family live a better life, and Lin Xi will not let the Lin family be ashamed. ”

The smiling eyes were full of confidence, and the warmth made people approach unconsciously, and Mother Zhou nodded.

Lin Xi chatted while drinking, and accidentally drank a round belly, so he leaned against the wall and went out of the door, ready to consume food in the courtyard, but happened to see the Nine Emperor Princes walking here.

"Uncle Lin. ”

Lin Xi immediately stood up straight, knocked his hand and said, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"My father had a message to the old gentleman and Uncle Lin, so I invited Ying to come and come to see Uncle Lin. ”

So before Lin Xi could breathe a breath of the air in the courtyard, he walked back to the study, let people serve tea, and he asked, "What is the emperor's will?"

The Nine Emperor Princes put down the teacup, his expression was a little unnatural, and said, "Tonight's Qionglin banquet, the top three are all there, and it is a convention, Uncle Lin should not be absent." ”

It seemed that Zhao Jingyi had asked for the emperor's will, and Lin Xi was relieved, so he nodded, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Seeing that Lin Xi's face was not displeased, and his demeanor was still calm and moderate, the indifferent appearance seemed to have nothing to do with him in the ups and downs outside, and he admired it even more in his heart, so he said with a straight face: "I have always admired Brother Rui, but what he has done recently has made me extremely disappointed, you are my respected Uncle Lin, and you are a teacher, how can he talk about liking you when he forces you like this, it's just a bully, I really ...... It's ......."

The upbringing of the Nine Emperor Princes is so good that he can't say a single vulgar word.

Seeing his angry appearance, Lin Xi's heart couldn't help but warm, and he couldn't help but persuade: "It's okay, just let him toss, after a long time, no matter how much enthusiasm will fade, it is more effective than secretly hurting oneself and being ashamed." At least this is Lang Lang, under the palace walls, he still doesn't dare to come hard, and the rest of the tongue has nothing to do with me?"

Having said that, he was still very angry, especially when the Nine Emperor Princes saw Zhao Jingyi's determined appearance.

It's just that even if he is a prince, compared to this cousin, whether it is power or prestige, it is still much smaller, and now he can't do anything at all, and Emperor Xia Jing also forbade him to participate in this matter, so he can only endure it patiently.

"Uncle Lin, wait a minute, my mansion has almost been built, and it will not be long before the mansion can be opened, and if you take over the errand and have power, you can compete with Brother Rui. ”

The firmness in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes made the warmth in Lin Xi's heart suddenly expand infinitely, who said that he was soft-hearted, it was clear that this child was really kind, and this sincere heart no longer knew how to ask him to reciprocate.

He looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a complicated expression, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you let me get close to him, in this situation, as long as I can respond a little, I can easily influence him, and even win him over, for His Royal Highness's major affairs, wouldn't it be a great help, even the original King of Liang and King Shu didn't try his best to please him?"

As if he didn't know why Lin Xi suddenly said this, the Nine Emperor Prince's eyes suddenly widened, "Uncle Lin, haven't you always hated the uncompromising methods of the two imperial brothers? Why do you ...... today?" You taught me to be worthy of my conscience in everything I do, and how can I ask you to do that, and what have I become? Even if you like Brother Rui, I will not let you bow down so much to please him. You said that as a monarch, you should protect the people of the world with your wings, so I should protect you!"

At that moment, Lin Xi's heart seemed to have been hit by something, he was silent for a long time, just looked at Zhao Jingyu deeply, as if he was distinguishing his expression, his demeanor, whether every inch of his gaze flickered, whether his heart was different.

But no.

He had an impulse, and suddenly he understood that that impulse was the expectation of the courtiers who met Mingjun and wanted to do their best to support the top spot.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed, but in the end, Lin Xisheng restrained that impulse, but he could only cover up his gaffe with drinking tea, and gradually came back to his senses, he put down the teacup and chuckled: "It's me who lost my words, Your Highness, don't blame me, my mind has been a little unstable recently, so I won't talk about it." But I heard that His Royal Highness said that the palace is about to open, so I guess the candidate for the princess has already been decided, right?"

The Nine Emperor Princes felt that something was wrong, but there was a hint of joy, he felt that he was one step closer to Lin Xi, but when he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Lin Xi's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red in vain.

Lin Xi was curious to see the person who was still excited just now, and instantly became ashamed, and replied with flashing eyes: "It's already decided, it's Tian Shilang's daughter...... Tian Wan. ”

Lin Xi thought about it for a while, "Oh, the head of the household, the wind review is good, presumably it will be Tian Shangshu in the near future." ”

"Uncle Lin is like a god. Although the Nine Emperor Princes blushed, they had expectations in their eyes, which must be satisfactory.

Lin Xi couldn't help but tease: "But have you seen it?"

The Nine Emperor Princes nodded without hesitation.

"It's really gratifying, marrying a woman you like is more important than ushering in a powerful family. "Think about Zhao Jingyi in the past, the discord between husband and wife is a big disaster, Lin Xi sighed.

The Nine Emperors touched his head, a little embarrassed, "Hehe, after the newly promoted Jinshi is conferred, he will draw up the wedding regulations, Uncle Lin can rest assured, she looks very good, and I can live well with her in the future." ”

Lin Xi smiled, picked up the teacup, but put it down again, his stomach was still full of water, and he couldn't drink it.

"By the way, yesterday my father asked me if I wanted to choose a teacher, and I have made it clear to my father that I would like you to be my teacher. ”

Lin Xi was stunned when he heard this, "Your teacher?"

"Yes, your talented father is very much in agreement, I am afraid that I am a shallow learner and insult you. ”

"The emperor has granted permission?"

"Not yet, my father said he needed to think about it, but I also boldly said that I don't need anyone else to be a teacher but you. ”

The Nine Emperors are no longer the thin boys who lived in the cracks at the beginning, and under the warm care of Emperor Xia Jing for a year, the little prince who was only willing to promise has become cheerful.

Lin Xi looked at the expectant gaze of the Nine Emperor Princes, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated, if he became the master of the Nine Emperor Princes, then it would really be on the same boat, if Zhao Jingyi really wanted to succeed in the future, how would he make a choice?
