Chapter 6: The Ambitious Regent (5)

Seeing that Yixi's face did not ease for a moment, Pei Ji muttered and added, "I haven't eaten a bite, why do you want me to settle the bill." ”

"Hahahaha, it's a little fool, but there's still some shrewdness in it." Qiqi couldn't help but glance at Pei Ji, there was indeed something wrong with his intelligence, but he didn't expect that there were some heart palpitations.

Pei Ji, who doesn't have a long memory, stretched out his hand and continued to grab it on the plate, this time Yixi didn't hit him, and took a sip of tea, "I still want to eat when I am beaten like this, and I don't think about revenge." ”

"Yes," Pei Ji said simply, "but I can't beat him, and I don't dare to have the support of the queen mother behind me." ”

Pei Ji analyzed it so well that even Xie Zhiqing couldn't tell whether Pei Ji was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

"Stupid." Yixi spit out a word, then threw down the money and walked out of the private room, leaving only Pei Ji with a blank face.

However, Pei Ji, who had a big heart, looked at Yixi's back and paused, and then continued to eat nonsense.

Food can't be wasted.

"Lord Wang, Master Pei Ji, little prince he," are you pretending to be stupid? Xie Zhiqing wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that his behavior did not look like the behavior of a fool.

"That's stupid," Yixi said, leaning back on the carriage.

Pei Ji can have such a thinking ability, and he is inseparable from the eighth princess, and it is really difficult for her.

After Xie Zhiqing got the accurate answer, he also thought of the Eighth Princess.

"This king wants you to check on the matter." Yixi cupped his cheeks and said, "Find out how the eighth prince died." ”

"Find out what he's doing," Qiqi said, "and if you want to know how he died, just ask me, why bother." ”

"Although the system is good, how can you prove that he was indeed killed by the little emperor without evidence?"

"You have to pay attention to the evidence in everything." Yixi is unprecedented and Qiqi explained.

When Qiqi heard this, the flickering ghost light was even stronger, and she understood, Yixi was going to pull the eighth princess into the gang.

As for the little fool Pei Ji she brought, she was manually ignored.

"Lord Wang, you are suspicious, the death of the Eighth Lord is not simple." Xie Zhiqing whispered, everyone is rumoring that the death of the eighth prince is that he was young and vigorous and made a feud outside and was killed by the enemy; was mentioned by Yixi, and there are indeed many doubts when you think about it carefully.

"Maybe this matter has something to do with the king's opponent." Yixi reminded Xie Zhiqing.

But after Xie Zhiqing heard this, his eyes lit up inexplicably, and he stopped the carriage and disappeared into the street.

"Your subordinates seem to be more anxious than you, and they don't want to find someone." Qiqi sighed after exploring for a while.

If only Yixi were so positive.

"No way, who called me a dying man." Yixi replied.

Qiqi, "......"

In the courtyard, the breeze is blowing, and the comfortable sunlight that belongs to the alternation of spring and summer shines on the gazebo, and lies on the soft Yixi that has been moved to squint comfortably.

It's just that in such a comfortable atmosphere, one person is unhappy, and he dances his wrist until Yixi stabs it.

Sensing the murderous aura, Yixi flipped down and dodged the long sword sideways, and grabbed the man's wrist and flipped it to his eyes, "I'm impatient to live, you dare to disturb this king." ”

Then Wuqu let go of his right hand and sat down at the tea table in the pavilion, and the person who had the killing intention against Yi Xi put down his long sword at this moment, and methodically woke up the tea to cut tea for Yixi, "Lord Wang forgives sins." ”

The tone was extremely casual, as if it was expected that Yixi would not be angry.

"If you don't go to the Master, you will come to this king." Taking a bite of the osmanthus cake, Yixi looked at Jinche, who had been in the house for a year of pharmacological conditioning, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In just one year, Jin Che has changed from a malnourished little cub who doesn't know anything to a rare talent with high attainments in martial arts literature, and even when the two stand together, he is still a step higher than himself.

In this regard, Yixi can only be explained by the son of destiny mentioned in Qiqi's mouth.

Jin Che's immature face, which was between a teenager and a young man, moved slightly, "The housekeeper said this morning that the master's family has a private matter. ”

Hearing this, Yixi raised his eyebrows and didn't make any more noise, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees.

"A bad stomach." Qiqi complained online.

But this sentence is not about Yixi, but about Jinche.

After Yixi Xiaozhi let him stay with reason, he declared that he was his male favorite, which made Jin Che angry enough.

couldn't stand Yixi's promise that he would do his best to control the water by his side, Jin Che endured the burden, and stayed in the house for a year.

And Yixi thought that his male pet could not be without talent and virtue, and he found a master for Jin Che in both civil and military affairs.

I don't know if it's because of his personality or because of some environmental influences, Jin Che's personality is getting darker and darker, like Yixi.

"Little prince, slow down, slow down." The anxious voice of the housekeeper in the distance came, followed by Pei Ji's figure breaking into the sight of Yixi and the two.

Pei Ji's crimson shoe prints were left on the gravel of the courtyard with every step forward, and the sleeves of his coat and his face like the eighth prince were hung with various colors, "Uncle Huang, it's really fun on the street today." ”

Then he took out an unopened piece of oiled paper from his chest shirt and put it in front of Yixi, "The one left for Uncle Huang is delicious." ”

"The little fool has a lot of heart for you." Qiqi glanced at it, and there were a few sugar gourds that had been specially removed from the oiled paper.

Yixi glanced at the oil paper casually, looked away at Pei Ji, and said to Qiqi Liangliang, "Have a heart?" The eighth princess must have taught him in private, this gentleman is not fond of sweets, and it is right to buy it for himself. ”

After listening to Yixi's words, Qiqi noticed that Pei Ji was talking about giving Yixi to eat, and Zeng Yuan, who was kicking his eyes, still swallowed saliva from time to time.

“….”

It's that I overestimate him.

Yixi pulled out of his consciousness and pushed the oil paper to the right, "This king doesn't eat it." ”

"Then I'll eat." Pei Ji, who had been waiting for Yixi's words for a long time, hurriedly dragged it over and squatted on the edge of the pavilion.

"Beaten again?" Seeing that his face was stained with dyes, Yixi spoke again, and after teaching those gentlemen a lesson again, Pei Ji made up his mind to rely on himself, no matter how much he threatened him, he couldn't get rid of him.

Pei Ji swallowed the last sugar gourd indiscriminately, touched his face and said, "Who dares to beat me, it's right to have an imperial uncle covering me to beat them, and his face is stained with the spices sprinkled by the grassland barbarians on the street." ”

Wiping off the dye on his face, Pei Ji spread out his hand and showed it to Yixi.

Spices indeed.

What is the matter with the steppe barbarians that Pei Ji said?

Yixi's eyes rolled slightly, and the housekeeper immediately stepped forward and attached it to his ear, "Lord, it's an annual tribute." ”

Speaking of tribute, Yixi understood, the grassland barbarians were the foreign enemies defeated by Pei when the original body was born, when the sky was shining, the people were all spreading that it was the heavens to wish Pei Guo, and a wonderful person descended to wish Pei a triumph, so the first emperor loved the original body when Pei Guo loved the original body, and the grassland people hated it.

But....

"This year is earlier than usual," Yixi said, counting the days.

The housekeeper is so shrewd, he is in the mansion but he has heard everything, and he has already explored the reason, "This year, it is the princess of the barbarians who came to make a pilgrimage, saying that she came to find a suitable husband to capture and marry her." ”

It turned out that I wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to close the road and have fun in Beijing, no wonder I came so early.

"My mother said that the barbarian princess has a pungent personality and a hot temper, and I don't know who will let her eyes," Pei Ji, who turned her head and lay down on the ground to look for crickets after the maidservant cleaned up, said coldly.

It is a little interesting, the barbarian princess is so fanfare, I don't know how the little emperor will act, whether it is as she wishes or will take the opportunity to drive her back.

Yixi is looking forward to it.

Qiqi, who had been by Yixi's side for a year, saw her excitement at this time, and snorted, "The little emperor just ordered that Pei Yixi take Princess Gela to familiarize herself with the environment in Beijing, and the word will arrive later." ”

The grassland people hated Pei Yixi very much, with the character of Princess Gela, the regent palace was afraid that it would not be peaceful, thinking of the future life, a smiling face appeared on the top of Qiqi's head, and the blue color was particularly dazzling.

But what Qiqi said, Yixi just hummed lightly, it seemed that he had expected that the little emperor would make such an arrangement, and his fingers ran over the cold tea, "There is no shortage of handsome talents in Beijing, Princess Gela may lead Ruyi Langjun back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yixi heard a slight sneer from behind the left.

"Qiqi, did the little rabbit cub laugh?" Yixi glanced back, and the source of the sound was exactly where Jin Che was standing.

"There is not enough energy to retrace the incident." Pretending to be dead and rolling out a string of words, Yixi didn't look annoyed at her reaction, but looked at her with a smile....

Qiqi is right, the little emperor did ask someone to pass on an edict, once the order was said, Yixi was not in a hurry, but the housekeeper was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, if it wasn't for the secret guard in the palace to hold him down, it is estimated that the edict sent would be swept out of the house before he finished speaking.

The arrival of Princess Gela is not all bad, Yixi has eaten very well in the past few days under the worried eyes of the housekeeper, as for when to meet the rumored princess, Yixi said that he is not in a hurry.

"Lord Wang," the maid outside the door called softly, bent extremely high, as if she was afraid of Yixi, "Princess Gela is here, saying that she wants to visit you, Lord Wang." ”

It's only been three days and you can't hold your breath?

Yixi raised her eyebrows, and put down the military book in her hand casually, "Let her go into the front hall and wait, this king will arrive later." ”

Putting on an elegant robe, Yixi walked to the front hall without hurrying.

Princess Gela's personality is true, after some distance, Yixi saw that the front hall was standing dressed like fire, black hair mixed with purple and red fine twine, highlighting the exotic face, and the woman also had a bright long whip around her waist, which made people know that it was not easy to provoke, but now Princess Gla, there was no cold and arrogant look on her face, and a slight trace of anxiety climbed up her brow, and there were several clansmen in turquoise hats standing beside her.

"Regent." The sharp-eyed clansmen beside Princess Gera saluted Yixi, not perceiving any resentment.

Seeing this, Princess Guerra immediately knelt down, her knees had not yet touched the ground, and Yixi's arms floated and led her to stand up, "No need to be formal, serve tea." ”

The latter sentence was spoken by the maidservant who was waiting outside the door; The maidservant replaced the cold tea and quickly replaced it with a new one.

Princess Gela doesn't like to drink tea, tea is bitter and dry for their grassland people, and they don't want the maid to add water even if the tea gets cold, but now that Yixi's heirs are serving tea, Princess Gela is not easy to pay face, so she learned to take the teacup and drink a small piece.

There was no bitterness in the impression, after the tea was eaten, Princess Guerra actually felt that the boredom in her heart was swept away, and she was refreshed a little, causing her to take a few more sips.

"This king has been tired for days, and it is inconvenient to see guests because of his physical condition, and I hope the princess will forgive me." Gra frowned and melted away from the fragrance of the tea, and the purpose was to achieve Yixi's mouth, and her tone was lacking, making people believe her nonsense.

"The regent is in charge of the affairs of the world, and he must take care of it," Gla, who was born in the grassland, grinned, got up and saluted Yixi, walked to the door and clapped her hands three times, and immediately her people stepped forward to present a box wrapped in crimson brocade.
