Chapter 119: Ask the nobles
An hour later, Xiaomei finally rushed back.
"Princess, the little five sons have already been brought, and now they are waiting outside the back door of the General's Mansion...... Well? Princess, you are dressed like ......"
Xiaomei raised her head and saw that Yan Zixi had changed into a folk coarse linen dress, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"The clothes in the General's Mansion are too ostentatious, or this one is relatively low-key......"
Yan Zixi remembered that last time she had just left the city, she was assassinated by those assassins, but she didn't dare to wear the princess's clothes and take the carriage of the general's mansion.
Keep it simple, the more low-key the better.
Yan Zixi explained a few more words to Xiaomei and Xiaoyu, and if someone asked her where she went, she replied that she had gone outside the city to visit the young general Xiao Jingcong.
After handing it over, Yan Zixi cautiously slipped out of the back door of the General's Mansion, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Wuzi sitting in the carriage in the alley.
Yan Zixi hurriedly beckoned to her, and when Xiao Wuzi saw Yan Zixi, he was about to shout loudly, but Yan Zixi made a silent gesture and signaled him not to make a noise.
Xiao Wuzi immediately covered his mouth and remained silent, and when Yan Zixi came over, Xiao Wuzi bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted.
"Little five sons, see the master! I didn't expect to say goodbye that day, and when I saw you again today, the master was already the princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion! Xiao Wuzi really didn't look away! ”
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, little five, you haven't been followed all the way, right?" Yan Zixi asked cautiously.
After all, I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and the last time I was assassinated is still vivid, and now I can't help but be frightened when I think about it, and it is always good to be cautious.
Xiao Wuzi patted his chest and made a package ticket: "Master, you can put 10,000 hearts!" No one is following the little one, and it is absolutely safe to ride in the carriage of my little five! ”
"That's good." Yan Zixi nodded, and then got into the carriage with the support of Xiao Wuzi.
After sitting down, Xiao Wuzi poked his head in and asked in a low voice, "Master, where are you going?" ”
"The Four Princes' Mansion!"
"The Four Princes' Mansion?!"
"What's wrong, there's a problem?"
"I didn't ...... Not...... Master, sit down, and let's go. ”
Xiao Wuzi took a deep breath, and then drove the carriage to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The road was also smooth, and there was no delay, and he arrived at the gate of the fourth prince's mansion safe and sound.
Yan Zixi got out of the carriage, explained a few words to Xiao Wuzi, asked him to wait nearby, and then walked up the steps alone and came to the front of the mansion.
The two guards guarding the gate of the mansion stopped Yan Zixi, and when they were about to interrogate, they recognized Yan Zixi and immediately said with a smile.
"Yo, isn't this the newly promoted Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion? Why do you have time to come to our prince's mansion? ”
"Yes, Princess Xiao, last time you saved our mother, our whole house is very grateful to you! What, are you here to find His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince? It's really not a coincidence, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is still in the middle of the court......"
"No, no, no!" Yan Zixi saw that the two guards had misunderstood her intentions, so she hurriedly explained: "You have misunderstood, I didn't come to find His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, may I ask if Xia Guiren is in the mansion now?" ”
The two guards glanced at each other, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that Princess Xiao is here to find Niangniang." Then please wait a minute, the little one will go in and help you report. ”
"I'm sorry for you."
"Don't worry!"
After speaking, a guard put down the weapon in his hand, turned around and ran into the mansion, and after a short time, the guard ran back and invited Yan Zixi into the mansion.
Under the leadership of a maid, Yan Zixi walked into the back flower garden and saw Xia Guiren who was admiring the flowers in the pavilion.
Xia Guiren is wearing plain clothes today, but she is not so gorgeous, but the natural bookish temperament still makes her look so different.
No wonder the emperor loves her so much, and doesn't even care about her origin and status.
The maid walked over and saluted respectfully.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Princess Xiao of the General Mansion of Zhenguo has brought it."
Hearing this, Yan Zixi also hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Xia Guiren, "Yan Zixi, the princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, has seen Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Xia Guiren heard Yan Zixi's voice, turned his head, and replied with a smile: "Why does Princess Xiao have to make such a big gift, get up quickly!" ”
Xia Guiren got up and walked over, helped Yan Zixi up with his own hands, and then said to the maid next to him: "It's none of your business here, let's go down first!" ”
"Yes! The slave and maid are gone! ”
Yan Zixi also hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Niangniang." "Soaring Chinese
"Hey, I'm just a nobleman. Come, Zixi, sit down quickly, and let's talk. ”
Xia Guiren led Yan Zixi to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down.
Yan Zixi saw that Xia Guiren didn't have any shelf, and she was approachable, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of her in her heart.
As soon as he sat down, Xia Guiren said with a smile.
"Zixi, you saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet! Unexpectedly, you have become the high-ranking general's wife, Princess Xiao! ”
When Yan Zixi heard this, she also laughed and said: "Niangniang, you are joking, Zixi and Jingcong are truly in love with each other, and it has been difficult to come together, so don't make fun of me." ”
"Nope! How could I make fun of you, it's too late for me to be happy for you! Being able to find the man you like and stay with him is really the happiest thing in the world! ”
Xia Guiren's pupils flashed with a trace of tears, and the look of loneliness flashed, but it was still captured by Yan Zixi in his eyes.
How? Listening to Xia Guiren's tone, she seems to envy me?
That's right, her man is the emperor today, and there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and it is uncertain when she will be able to pamper her, not to mention that she is just a nobleman.
Presumably, she was inevitably bullied and harassed by the queen and concubines in the harem on weekdays, so she moved out of the palace and lived with her son.
Staying away from the palace means staying away from the emperor, which means being even less favored......
But it is precisely because of this that she can stay away from the whirlpool of Gong Dou and save her life.
Otherwise, she is a small nobleman, from the people, helpless, I am afraid that she would have died in the harem and no one would know.
I have to say that Xia Guiren's move to retreat into advance is quite wise.
Yan Zixi thought for a moment in her heart before she asked again.
"Niangniang, I see that your complexion is very good, it seems that the residual poison on your body should have been removed."
"Yes, it's thanks to Zixi you! I followed the prescription you prescribed, after grabbing a few doses of medicine and taking it, I feel that my body is much better than before, and I am more energetic, Zixi, I really don't know how to thank you, why don't you stay at noon today, and I will personally cook a table of delicious food for you! ”
"Mother, how embarrassing is this!"
Yan Zixi hurriedly waved her hand, "Niangniang, Zixi doesn't dare to let you cook herself." In fact, Zixi came over this time to ask for something. ”
Yan Zixi doesn't plan to continue selling Guanzi either.
"Oh?" When Xia Guiren heard this, he immediately asked curiously: "Zixi, you say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you." ”
"Mother, it's not a big deal...... It is...... I just want to ask you, is there anything I need to pay attention to when participating in the poetry meeting? Yan Zixi raised her head, glanced at Xia Guiren, and then said the purpose of this trip.
"Poetry Club?!" Xia Guiren thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of the poetry meeting held in King Jing's Mansion tomorrow, so he asked: "Zixi, are you going to participate in the poetry meeting in King Jing's Mansion tomorrow?" ”
Yan Zixi nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!" This morning, my mother told me that she would take me to Jingwang's Mansion tomorrow to participate in the poetry meeting, and I was worried about this! ”
After a slight pause, Yan Zixi continued: "Niangniang, you also know that Zixi is dull, if it is the medical skill of the medicine stone, Zixi can still be captured, as for the poetry and scriptures, Zixi really doesn't know anything, so I asked Niangniang for advice!" ”
After Xia Guiren heard Yan Zixi say what she meant, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
"What should I be? So you came to me for this? ”
"Yes, Niangniang, Zixi really doesn't know anything, Niangniang, you must help me, otherwise I will be embarrassed in front of everyone tomorrow, and my mother will scold me again......"
Xia Guiren nodded, and replied with a smile: "Actually, this poem will not be as difficult as you imagined......
Xia Guiren patiently explained to Yan Zixi some of the steps that the poetry club went through, which was roughly the categories of poetry, writing poetry, communication, and tasting.
Yan Zixi listened attentively on the sidelines, not daring to miss any detail.
After Xia Guiren finished talking about the steps, he explained some matters and details that needed attention, and after Yan Zixi listened, he only felt that his head was going to be big.
"Huh? How troublesome? Do you want to write your own poems? That's too embarrassing, isn't it? Yan Zixi complained bitterly, she could even imagine the scene of her own ugliness at the poetry meeting tomorrow.
Xia Guiren frowned slightly, "Zixi, have you ever written poetry before?" ”
Yan Zixi shook her head like a rattle, she was a medical student, and at most she memorized a few Tang and Song poems in Chinese textbooks when she was young......
Wait, Tang poems and Song lyrics?!
Yan Zixi suddenly thought of something, she suppressed her excitement, and hurriedly raised her head to ask Xia Guiren.
"Niangniang, have you heard of the name of the poet fairy Li Bai?"
"Shixian Li Bai?" Xia Guiren put the name in his mouth and recited it carefully.
Yan Zixi on the side held her hands tightly, and her eyes stared at Xia Guiren without blinking......
