Chapter 47: The Three Sons Gather
After the state banquet, King Rong carefully carried his sleeping daughter into the carriage, and the surrounding ministers also lowered their voices when they saw this. For fear of waking up the county lord and upsetting the prince.
Yes, Jing Xi slept all the way, but no one disturbed him.
Xiao Yichen, the crown prince who returned to the East Palace here, went straight to the third brother's bedroom, and turned around carefully before he could speak, and only after finding the source of the poison did he put his mind at ease.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yize, the third prince who was only eight years old, did not speak when he saw the prince's brother return to the palace, but turned around carefully, although he was puzzled by his brother's behavior, he did not interrupt, but kept following his brother until his brother stopped and asked.
Xiao Yize, who took the Jade Lotus Pill, his body has visibly improved with the naked eye, not to mention that Xiao Yichen returned to the palace a few days ago and personally taught him to practice martial arts.
Xiao Yichen was also deeply relieved to see his younger brother changing day by day, looking at the beads on his wrist, and thanking the little girl from the bottom of his heart.
"My brother has a new treasure, and he can screen whether there is a source of poison around." Xiao Yichen has always been a quiet man in front of his father and others, and it is only different in front of his younger brother who grew up.
Oh, no, now it's Jingxi.
Hearing his brother say this, Xiao Yize understood that what he had just done was to check whether his dormitory had been poisoned.
"Thankfully, no." Xiao Yichen said again, stretched out his hand and pulled his younger brother to sit on the seat.
"That's good." Xiao Yize said with a smile that now that his body is gradually improving, he is no longer as thin as before, he has grown flesh in recent days, and his face is no longer pale, but has added a touch of ruddy.
Looking at his mental state, Xiao Yichen thought to himself.
"Brother will take you out of the palace to play tomorrow." Xiao Yichen felt sorry for Aze who had been staying in the East Palace, thinking that since his health had improved, it would be good to take him out to breathe.
"Really, brother?" Xiao Yize, who had long wanted to go out of the palace to see, asked in disbelief, with joy on his face that could not be concealed.
"How could there ever be a fake?" The young man said, and then asked, "Have you ever had dinner?" Xiao Yichen was worried that Aze hadn't had dinner, so he asked.
"Uh-huh, I used it." Hearing this, Xiao Yize nodded, with a smile on his face and shining eyes.
"That's fine, rest early, and I'll take you out of the palace to play tomorrow after morning class." Xiao Yichen saw that it was getting late, so he wanted his younger brother to rest earlier.
"Okay."
After a while, Xiao Yichen walked out of the dormitory and returned to the study.
"Your Highness, you are back." Xuan Ming, who has been dealing with affairs, finally waited for His Royal Highness to come back, and His Royal Highness would return to the East Palace after a short time for the banquet, but he didn't expect His Highness to come back until after the banquet this time.
Xuan Ming cried in his heart, he was so busy dealing with government affairs these days......
If you are an outsider, at first glance, you will only think that Xuan Ming is calm and decisive and has strong ability, but you don't know that there is this kind of detached temperament behind the scenes.
Xiao Yichen went through some important excerpts, and after seeing that there were no problems, he nodded with satisfaction, and secretly thought in his heart: This Xuan Ming has a good ability to do things.
"Xuanyiwei's training must not be left behind." Xiao Yichen spoke.
When Xuan Ming saw His Highness's expression, he knew that he had done a good job, "Your Highness, rest assured." As he spoke, he patted himself on the chest to ensure that he was determined to do what His Highness wanted.
"Hmm." Xiao Yichen sat down casually at the desk, tapping his fingers on the desk in contemplation.
Xuan Ming beside him stood quietly and did not disturb His Highness.
……
Jingxi, who was sleeping soundly in his father's arms all the way, did not wake up until the carriage left the palace gate and was about to reach the busy road.
During the state banquet, there were more young ladies and young masters coming and going on the street, and there were also a lot of people from other places.
Jing Xi woke up leisurely under the shouts of the vendors on this road and the frolicking of children.
The carriage in the palace has good sound insulation, but it can't stand Jingxi's hearing.
When she opened her eyes dimly, she saw that she was in her father's arms without any image, covered with a blanket, and her father's hand was patting her back again and again.
"Father~" Jing Xi opened his mouth and reached out to rub his sleepy eyes.
"Awake? We're already out of the palace, and we'll be home in less than half an hour. King Rong saw that his daughter was awake, so he carefully sat down with her, and then said.
The capital at night was very lively, Jing Xi listened to the sound of the crowd outside, and couldn't help but open the curtain of the carriage and look out of the car.
Thousands of homes are brightly lit and busy.
At this time, a loud noise pierced the night sky, and colorful fireworks rose into the silent and vast night sky, like flowers rushing to open up, blooming in the night sky.
"Father, it's fireworks, it's so beautiful!" Jing Xi couldn't help but speak.
On the other hand, he also pulled his father and wanted him to come close and watch the fireworks in the sky together.
It was the fireworks set off by the people of the capital, and then in the direction of the palace, there was also the sound of fireworks blooming, and fireworks began to be set off in the palace.
Prince Rong on the side complied with his daughter's wishes, his tall body approached the car window, and he looked into the distance, and the fireworks in the sky were dazzling.
I thought to myself: Xi Xi likes to watch fireworks, and the palace will also prepare some fireworks in the future, and Xi Xi wants to see that they can be set off at any time.
In the future world, Jing Xi has never seen fireworks.
Jing Xi saw a series of powerful weapons used to kill the Zerg such as quantum giant swords and laser cannons, and most of the people were either constantly improving their abilities and fighting with the Zerg, or they were studying various scientific and technological weapons, where was the leisure and elegance to make fireworks.
Even if there is, Jing Xi has never seen it, and in her short 20-year career, most of her stay in Gu Zhai's laboratory to study pharmaceuticals, or she is running around in major galaxies to find medicinal materials.
In this way, Jing Xi enjoyed the fireworks while chatting with his father about family life, and after half an hour, the carriage arrived at the palace.
"Welcome back to the prince."
Uncle Zhang is still guarding the gate, originally Jingxi only let him do it at will, but who knows that Uncle Zhang insists on working diligently at the gate.
I couldn't resist him, so I let him go.
As soon as they saw their carriage returning, they immediately stepped forward.
At this time, it was already midday, that is, almost eight o'clock in the evening, and I don't know what my brothers are doing, can I be well-behaved today?
The father and daughter entered the palace and went straight to Jiale Hall, as soon as they entered the door, Jing Xi heard the baby language of the younger brothers, and when they looked, it turned out that the younger brothers were awake, and they were being held by Aunt Gu and Aunt Zhang, and they were playing with them carefully.
"My sister is back, do you want to be my sister?" Jing Xi stepped forward and looked up at his younger brother who was held in his arms.
Yes......
The younger brothers seemed to notice that their sister had returned, waving their little hands in the air and grinning and screaming.
Even King Rong stepped forward and looked at a pair of children, his eyes slightly warm.
……
At the moment when Jingxi and the others participated in the banquet, Si Shaoyu, who was far away in Huadu, Luoyang County, also ushered in several special characters.
An hour ago, on the silent and uninhabited official road outside the city, there was a rush of horses' hooves, and I saw several sons each riding a horse, wearing strong suits, carrying swords, holding the reins in one hand, and shaking the horsewhip in the other, and from time to time they said, "Ride!" Drive! ……”
The sound of horses' hooves and the shouting of several people broke the silence around them.
The guards on the walls of Huadu City saw several noblely dressed sons and brothers galloping on horses, and only gradually slowed down until they reached the city gate.
After a few people entered the city, they directly followed the signal to find a relatively remote house.
"Who are the sons looking for?" The gatekeeper saw a few sons and brothers riding horses coming to the door, and stepped forward to ask.
"Go and tell your master, and say that the white clothes are visiting." The white clothes next to Ji Liancheng immediately stepped forward and reported to his home.
When Si Shaoyu heard the report, he immediately took the housekeeper out of the door.
"Big brother, second brother, why are you here?"
Ji Liancheng got off the horse, walked forward, looked at the third brother carefully, saw that he was safe and sound, his heart was settled, and patted the third brother's shoulder, "Third brother, it's okay." ”
Ji Lianqing on the side also stepped forward and hugged the third brother who had not been seen for a long time. Although the group came at a gallop, some of them were dusty, but they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.
"Big brother, second brother, please come inside." Knowing that this is not a good place to catch up, Si Shaoyu said.
Since the accident in Sijiabao to the present, Si Shaoyu has reported the safety to his brothers, and now that they are anxiously coming, Si Shaoyu is indescribably moved in his heart, and even his eyes are slightly red.
The three brothers went into the house side by side, and the white clothes and the steward were a little behind them, and they also followed into the house.
A few horses were led to the stables by their servants to eat forage.
After arriving at the house, the subordinates consciously went down to make tea, and Si Shaoyu seriously instructed the housekeeper to clean up the courtyard on the east side, so that the brothers could settle down.
"Sinan, go and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner." Si Shaoyu summoned Sinan outside the house, thinking that the brothers were hungry all the way.
"Third brother, can this injury be healed?" Ji Liancheng learned in the letter that Si Shaoyu was injured on the way to be chased and killed, and twisted his eyebrows.
"Yes, third brother, how are you hurting? I haven't heard from you for a few days, and my eldest brother and I are dying. Ji Lianqing also echoed, his tone was excited, and he looked at Si Shaoyu.
"Big brother and second brother, don't worry, thanks to the county lord of Zhaoning, I'm fine." Si Shaoyu was a little moved in his heart.
"Master, young masters, please use tea." The people also brought the boiled tea with their hands.
"It's okay, I'm here this time, I'm in a hurry." Ji Liancheng picked up the teacup, and his slender and slightly calloused hand gently twisted the tea lid and lifted the tea leaves, approached his mouth, and took a sip.
He said, "This time, I have already sent someone to check on the staff around Si Shaodong, and there will be news soon; Also, the village received a request for someone to buy your life. ”
Thinking of this, Ji Liancheng's good-looking eyebrows furrowed again.
"Yes, third brother, what are your guesses? Speak up, and my eldest brother and I will help you with advice. Ji Lianqing, who was sitting next to Ji Liancheng, also spoke.
