Mu Li and Liangshan didn't resist Nalan Jinxiu in the end, they added two screens to separate them from each other, and both of them were guarding in the military tent.

After King Xun used Nalan Jinxiu's medicine, his body improved significantly, but he was wheezing badly, and occasionally coughed a few times.

"Your Highness, this is a problem that fell when I was a child, and it is impossible to cure it all at once, so let's take care of it slowly. Nalan Jinxiu said lightly after diagnosing his pulse.

King Xun smiled indistinctly, his smile only touched the corners of his lips, and there was a cold light in his eyes. The voice was also mixed with gloom: "I'll tell you something funny!"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to listen to him, but she didn't disobey his authority, so she could only say respectfully: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"A rich merchant's two concubines gave birth to a boy at the same time, and the rich merchant favored one and ignored the other. When the two children reached the age of six, the mother, who did not favor the child, designed to let her child fall into the lake.

In order to frame another concubine, she pushed her child down with her own hands. It was a cold day, and it had just snowed heavily, and the river water was so cold that it almost killed the child. ”

"Does Your Highness want to say that the child has been coughing since then?"

King Xun smiled a little louder this time, and even his eyes bent down: "Yes, everyone says that he can't be cured, and this problem will have to be with him for a lifetime, but whenever he is infected with the wind and cold, he always has to cough for a long time." You are the first to say that slow conditioning can be cured. ”

"As long as His Highness takes medicine on time and takes care of it, it can be cured. ”

"What do you mean by good care?"

"It's to make you a rich idler. ”

King Xun raised his eyebrows, he seemed to be in a good mood, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated a lot: "How can I be idle, so this disease can't be cured." ”

I have to say that Nalan Jinxiu was touched by what he just said, and everyone knew that it was a great blessing that they were born in the royal family. But how could the royal man be so good?

He is now a hot candidate for the prince, both for himself and for others to help him. If you don't fight, you can only end up in despair, and when the situation is like this, he is also a poor man.

"I think when you were in the Xuanjia Army, your mood was quite cold. What's the matter now, sympathizing with me?"

"Don't dare. Nalan Jinxiu bowed.

King Xun leaned back in his chair and thoughtfully: "It's good if you don't dare." ”

"Your Highness's body is fine, so I will retire first. ”

"This king has nothing to do, why don't you play a game of chess with me?"

"I won't. "Nalan Jinxiu lied, as Ji Hongye's wife, she just wouldn't be taught by him.

"You're lying. "King Xun's eyes are very poisonous, and he and Jing Wu have guessed that she knows how to lead troops and must play a good chess hand.

"No, really. ”

"It's okay, this king will teach you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was helpless, so she could only sit down and play chess with him. She deliberately walked in a mess, wanting King Xun to dislike her, and then let her go. Who knew that this person who seemed to have a bad temper was quite suitable to be a teacher, and he taught very patiently.

At this time, some people said that Ji Ge Lao came, and King Xun put down the chess pieces and said slowly: "Let you see what real chess is." ”

Ji Hongye came in and saw Nalan Jinxiu's eyes pause, but he didn't say hello. After he and King Xun played three games in a row, King Xun shook his head: "Sure enough, I still can't get you, and you don't know how to let this king go." ”

"Does Your Highness want to win?"

"Of course. ”

"Then hone your skills!"

Nalan Jinxiu saw that they were talking openly and secretly, so he took his leave. When he walked to the door, he heard Ji Hongye say, "King Xun seems to like Bai Jin very much. ”

"He's a funny guy. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face was black, she was obviously acting normally, where would people think she was interesting? This is not a good thing for her, it seems that she will have to appear in front of King Xun less in the future.

Mu Li was still waiting for her outside, and when he saw her come out, he asked, "How is the situation?"

Although camped in this barren mountain and wilderness, the conditions were relatively difficult. But I have to admit that Mu Li still likes life here. They don't have to be too guarded, and their lives are relatively easy.

I'm afraid there will be no such situation when I enter Jinling. He doesn't ask for anything else now, he just hopes that these days will be longer. He just wanted her to have some peaceful life, nothing more.

Contrary to his wishes, King Xun's body was no longer in the way of hurrying, and his illness was delayed for a long time, so the journey was still very urgent, and he arrived in Jinling six days later.

Nalan Jinxiu was not arranged in the post house, but after washing, he followed King Xun into the palace to face the saint. It was the first time she went to the early dynasty and saw the people in Daning who were in charge of life and death.

Regardless of their age, they all wore official uniforms and looked very solemn. As for the people sitting on the dragon chair on the top of the steps, they were even more imposing.

Emperor Yonglong is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and sitting in his position, he can't think of it without effort. So he looks older than people of the same age, and his temples are already half a life.

is such an old person, but people dare not despise it at all, and even feel very pressured. His eyes don't know how many things they have seen, so there is a sharpness that can peel back the skin and see inside.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't have anyone by her side, she could only follow in the footsteps of King Xun, and her heart was not without a trace of fluctuation. But when her eyes touched the person standing in the first place, her heart suddenly settled down and became fearless.

She bowed down in a proper manner, her posture was straight, and her movements were in place, and even those stereotypical old men of the Ministry of Etiquette nodded appreciatively.

Emperor Yonglong knew that the northern Xinjiang was already boiling with public resentment, but he didn't expect this person to behave so decently. The only plausible explanation is that this is a smart man who knows how to judge the situation.

"Let's get flat!"

Nalan Jinxiu stood up and slowly stepped aside.

"Why do you use light veil to cover your face?" asked Emperor Yonglong with a pair of sharp eyes looking at Nalan Jinxiu.

"On the saint, the villain contracted rubella on the road, and his face was unbearable, for fear of disturbing the holy car. ”

Her voice was not that delicate, and she was used to being a man. Today's voice sounds softer than ordinary male voices, but it is mixed with coldness, but it is completely unreminiscent of the identity of a woman.

"Oh, is that so?" Emperor Yonglong's eyes didn't move for a moment, still looking at her from a scrutinizing perspective.

King Xun bowed and said in a low voice, "That's true." After he finished speaking, he was accompanied by a few light coughs, the wind chill before was just right, and the wind and dust all the way, he looked quite haggard now.

Emperor Yonglong turned his eyes to King Xun's face, and there was a trace of concern in his words: "I heard that you have been sick for a long time, and you are still coughing, but you have not recovered yet?"

"It's just an old problem, and I don't want to prevent it. ”

Emperor Yonglong has always been more satisfied with King Xun, and among the many princes, only he and King Hui are the most proficient. This time, he was able to bring back the person he wanted from the northern frontier without bloodshed, which was enough to see his ability.

"You did a good job on this errand, so I'll give you the newly completed Shanhe Sheji map of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

None of the courtiers spoke, and the huge hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. Nalan Jinxiu secretly said in his heart: "The majesty of this heavenly family is really powerful, but I don't know what kind of treasure this mountain and river society map is, and mentioning it makes these people condense." ”

"Holy Lord, this picture is a birthday gift made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for you, how can you give it to people. "The Ministry of Rites is still listed.

Emperor Yonglong waved his hand: "It's okay. ”

It doesn't matter? This map of mountains and rivers is a symbol of imperial power, and to whom this picture is given proves that the Holy Lord intends to let someone succeed him? The position of the crown prince has been idle for a long time, and it seems that this is about to be moved.

The courtiers are now divided into three factions, one is the Xunwang Party, the other is the Huiwang Party, and the other is the Qing faction that has not been involved in party disputes, headed by Ji Hongye. Everyone looked at each other secretly, secretly conveying information in their eyes, but no one came out to speak.

Emperor Yonglong felt that this matter had been decided, and moved on to the next topic: "What is your name, and what position do you hold in the Xuanjia Army?"

"The villain Bai Jin is a Xuanjia military doctor. ”

"A military doctor is not a good position, isn't it a bit condescending to you. I'll make you the name of Lehou now, and you're in the second grade, how about it?"

"The villain came from a civilian background and could not afford such a position. Nalan Jinxiu knew that no matter why she was named, it was just a false name, and she would not have any real power.

"Northern Xinjiang is an inseparable part of my Daning, and you have meritorious service in protecting Northern Xinjiang, so you can naturally afford this title. Emperor Yonglong pondered for a moment when he said this, and asked the eunuch standing beside him: "There are still idle palaces in the palace, so you need a good location." ”

"The Wuyang Hall is extremely close to His Majesty's Zhengyang Palace, and it has already been cleaned up. ”

"Mingle, then you will temporarily live in the Wuyang Palace!"

The development of things was somewhat unexpected by Nalan Jinxiu, how could she live in the palace now that she was a man? Even the princes had to open another mansion when they became adults, and even if they wanted to enter the palace to visit their mother, it would have to be on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Isn't it because there are many concubines in the harem that she wants to avoid suspicion? Why is it that now she is a foreign man, but she can live in the palace in a grand manner? If something is abnormal, she is a demon, and it seems that this emperor is no longer ready to hide his purpose.

Wouldn't it be dangerous for her to move in?

"Shengshang, the villain is from a humble background and does not dare to live in Wuyang Palace, so the saint will find a garden for the villain to settle outside the palace at will. ”

Emperor Yonglong's expression was dim: "I said that if you can afford to live, you can afford to live." ”

At this time, Zong Xuanyi came out of the ranks, and he still said coldly: "Holy Lord, Mingle Hou is not a child anymore, if you leave him in the palace, for fear of disturbing all the mothers, it is better to be placed outside the palace." ”

Emperor Yonglong's narrow eyes narrowed, revealing a gloomy glow that was the same as that of King Xun......
