The items rewarded by the emperor were filled with a full six cages, except for a gold-lettered signboard, the rest were given to Yu Shu, because the things were valuable, Zhao Hui was not easy to make an idea, and after asking Yu Shu, he asked people to carry these cages to an empty room in the backyard first, and then tidy them up afterwards.

He Fangzhi and Zhao Hui originally intended to leave Jingchen down to eat, but there were no good dishes in the kitchen, although they were not strangers to each other, but Jingchen's identity was different from the past, the couple was more restrained, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they called Yu Shu, who was sitting in the living room talking to Jingchen, to the back to ask how to prepare.

Yu Shu felt sorry for Zhao Hui's stomach, and didn't want her to work too hard, so she said: "Mother, go back to the room to rest, let the godfather show you the pulse, I will take Jingchen to eat outside, and I am not an outsider, so I don't need to see outside."

Zhao Hui's belly is getting bigger now, just tossing like this, her body is really unbearable, she hesitated when she heard this, then she followed her, and went to the living room with He Fangzhi to say a sin to Jingchen, and then went back to the backyard to rest.

Yu Shu took Jing Chen out of the door, got into the carriage specially prepared for Jing Chen in the palace, and went directly to the Wangji Building without going anywhere else.

The carriage is furnished very comfortably, with leather seats and soft mattresses, a small tea house with red sandalwood, a marquee hanging on the ceiling, and the two walls are cleverly chiseled with round holes, and the light outside the car penetrates a thin layer, which is both shaded and transparent.

Yu Shu lifted the curtain, looked at the guards with knives who were riding horses on the left and right and following the car, and turned his head to ask Jingchen: "Are these two people also arranged for you by the emperor?"

Jingchen said: "I said it was to protect my safety."

Yu Shu laughed, this kind of thing is only Jing Chen will believe, let her see, these two guards are clearly watching, it seems that what he said to her yesterday is true, the emperor does attach great importance to Jing Chen, the nephew who has been separated for many years and returned to the court, not only for his face to reward her with so many things, but also let him live in the palace as an adult man, and there are people who follow him everywhere, for fear that he will be lost.

"Where are we going now?" Jingchen looked at the unfamiliar street outside the car and asked, a few days ago, he was picked up by the palace and stayed in the palace for a few days, this is the first day to go out.

Yu Shu said: "There is a restaurant in the north of the city, which is opened by Brother Xue, he invited me to help with the stewardship a while ago, the food there is very delicious, and there is a quiet place, just when we are talking."

Due to the ears and eyes on both sides, Yu Shu did not mention the topic of Jingchen's Ji Duxing and the lifebreaker in this car.

Yu Shu shows the way and asks the driver to walk through the back door of the Forgotten Machine Building, and Yu Shu knocks on the backyard door a few times, and Fluttershy, who is passing by with a plate, opens the door.

The "girl" didn't see Yu Shu's figure for a few days, and the little girl was very surprised, so she hurriedly invited her in, and ran to inform Lin Fu.

Yu Shu took Jing Chen upstairs, and the two guards followed suit, Yu Shu didn't say anything when he saw it, but when he arrived at the door of her room, he opened the door first to let Jing Chen in, she stood at the door and waited for a while, and then saw Lin Fu running upstairs with his robe.

"The girl is here, have you had lunch?" Lin Fu put on a smiling face, saw the guards standing in front of the door, and saw that there was a strange young man in the tea hall, although he was curious, he didn't ask much.

Yu Shu pointed to the two guards and said to Lin Fu: "Lao Lin, you take these two eldest brothers to the front for tea and dinner, so that you can entertain them, and then make a few light things and send them upstairs, no wine, all in my account."

"Yes, I'll just go and prepare, two downstairs, please."

Lin Fu made a gesture to ask for directions, and the two guards were reluctant to leave at first, but Jing Chen opened his mouth and followed Lin Fu away.

After sending them away, Yu Shu covered the door, sat down at the table, and talked to Jingchen face to face.

"Seriously, you've also seen the big mention, have you heard the whereabouts of the lifebreaker?" Yu Shu said.

Jingchen shook his head and said, "Tell me that the time has not yet come, let me be restless."

Yu Shu was puzzled: "What does it mean that the time has not come, don't you just find someone, doesn't he know where the Daoist is now?"

Jingchen still shook his head: "He said that when the time comes, the lifebreaker will appear, and there is no need to work hard to find it."

Yu Shu frowned: "Then when will the time come?"

Jingchen still shook his head, "I don't know what to do." ”

Yu Shu said depressedly: "Isn't this the same as not asking?" When you go down the mountain, how did your master explain to you, just let you come to the capital to find a big mention, do you have any other advice?"

In her opinion, the longevity sacrifice text on Jing Chen's body is a symptomatic thing that does not cure the root cause, to completely break Jing Chen's fateful character that day, and never have worries, you have to find the so-called life-breaking person, Qingzheng Taoist once told her that the person who committed the fate of Ji Duxing, if he does not find the life-breaker, in the end, not only the life of the person who changed his life against the sky is in danger, but he himself will definitely die.

Asked by Yu Shu, Jingchen thought for a moment, thought about it, and really remembered something: "Master also told me to be careful of women."

"Ahem," Yu Shu choked on spittle, looked at Jing Chen with a strange face, what did he want to say, but he couldn't say it, be careful of women, this range is big, she is a woman, so Jing Chen has to be careful of her?

Yu Shu only took this sentence as a joke, and didn't study it in detail, and couldn't see that it was useful to ask, and it couldn't help him, so he could only worry about it for the time being.

After a while, Lin Fu asked Fluttershy Xiaoqing to bring food in, greeted him outside the door, and took a few letters and presented them to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu saw the words "Ah Shu personally opened" on the envelope, so he guessed who came to the book, put down the chopsticks, and motioned for Jingchen to continue eating, while opening the letter and reading them one by one.

There are a total of four letters, counting the days, starting from the night of the fifteenth when Xia Mingming and Ji Xingxuan came to make trouble, in the past few days, Xia Mingming wrote a letter almost a day.

The first letter is nothing special, it is nothing more than a description of what she misses, telling Yu Shu that she was grounded by her father and not allowed to go out, explaining why she didn't look for Yu Shu, and apologizing for making trouble in the restaurant during her Lantern Festival, without mentioning Ji Xingxuan. It was delivered on the sixteenth day.

The second letter was much shorter, and it was about Yu Shu to meet in the Wangji Building on the morning of the 20th of this month. It was delivered on the seventeenth day.

The third letter is interesting, the letter mentions the accident of the Ji family, and the news of Daozi's return to the dynasty, Xia Mingming heard that Yu Shu lived in the Ji family and was very worried about her situation.

After reading the first three letters, Yu Shu's mood has to be said to be good, at least she can see that Xia Mingming's girl is not an ungrateful thing, and she is still worried about her own good, as soon as she heard that something happened to the Ji family, she hurriedly wrote a letter to ask about her safety.

Putting these three letters aside, Yu Shu opened the fourth one, but this look made her frown suddenly:

"Ah Shu, the emperor wants to point me out to the Nine Emperors as a concubine, and I don't have to go back to Jiangnan." ,

was a plain sentence, and I couldn't tell the mood of the letter writer at that time, but Yu Shu stared at these two lines for a long time, and was stunned to smell a sour taste.

What kind of person is Xia Mingming, Yu Shu, who used to eat, live and suffer together, is clear, a willful but innocent little girl, smart but heartless, stubborn and emotional, such a girl marries into the royal family, what awaits her will never be happiness and beauty.

Compared with the family rules that the children of the Xia Jiang family have to enter the mountains to ask the Tao, the road to marrying into the royal family is even more full of thorns.

What's more, this finger marriage is obviously not a whim of the emperor, Yu Shu thought that after Xia Jiangying's death, Xia Jiang's family stayed in Beijing for several months and did not return, and the Nine Emperors just returned to the dynasty recently, which is obviously a marriage that has been set up a long time ago.

Speaking of the Nine Emperor Princes, Yu Shu suddenly remembered that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the girl with a white face sitting next to Liu Tan was in the Wangji Building, with the eyes of her passers-over, Liu Tan was clearly interested in that girl, at his age, it was between young people and young people, and the feelings were still innocent.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you, who wrote the letter?" Jingchen looked at Yu Shu and smiled just now, but then he frowned and made a sad face, so he asked.

"It's Mingming," Yu Shu folded the letter and stuffed it back, put a few letters into his sleeve together, looked up at Jingchen, and remembered that he and the Nine Emperor Princes were from the same door, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, so he asked:

"Jingchen, do you have a good relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes?"

"You mean Senior Nephew Chongyun?" Jingchen recalled: "He entered the mountain at the age of seven, and I was introduced with the third senior brother, because of the attack of Ji Duxing, I spent half of the time in the back mountain every month, and I don't often work and rest with the disciples of the same sect, the third senior brother is responsible for bringing me food, sometimes I will bring Chongyun with me, do the math, I have known him for nine years, but I only learned a few years ago, he is also a member of the royal family, and I am a cousin."

Yu Shu smiled after hearing this: "In this way, you and Brother Xue are also relatives."

Jingchen thinks about it, his biological mother is the sister of the current emperor, the emperor is his uncle, Xue Rui is the nephew of the concubine, the emperor is his uncle, Liu Tan is weak, and he wants to call them two cousins.

Yu Shu heard that Jingchen and Liu Tan had a good relationship, and was about to ask Liu Tan about who he was again, when he heard someone outside the door tell him:

"Girl, the prince is here, and His Royal Highness the Ninth is here, please take the distinguished guests in the house to the 'water, the font name of the elegant room to sit."

This really means that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just now she remembered these two people, and they came.

"Zhilu said, let's go," Yu Shu answered the door, stood up and smiled at Jing Chen: "Go, go and meet your relatives."

"Hmm."

The two of them went out, and the maid in front led the way, walked to the door of the innermost room on the second floor, knocked on the door, heard the answer inside, and pushed the door open.

Yu Shu walked in first, bypassed the glass screen shelf in front of the door, and saw three people sitting on the embroidered round table at a glance, Xue Rui, Liu Tan, and the unidentified woman he had seen at the Lantern Festival banquet last time.

Yu Shu couldn't help but stare at the girl twice because of what she thought before, but she didn't expect the other party to see her, so she stood up suddenly, a smile of surprise bloomed on her plain white face, walked quickly around the table, and staggered into Jing Chen's arms who walked in behind her.

"Seven Senior Brothers"
