The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 3
Because the doctor explained that it is not suitable for bumping, Lin Zisu stayed on the Zhuangzi to "recover from illness".Lin Wenjing also wanted to stay in Zhuangzi, but was forcibly taken back by Mrs. Bi on the grounds that "study is the most important thing".

Without Lin Wenjing's noise, Lin Zisu's ears were happy. In the next few days, apart from eating and drinking medicine, she spent most of the time lying on the bed sorting out the memories of the two lives.

Although the experience of the original body is shallow, but he has read a lot of books and has memorized a lot of things in his small brain. In addition to the memories of Fang Qingyan's previous life, Lin Zisu's brain seems to be full in a few days, and the back of his head is painful.

The weather was fine that day, and Lin Zisu took her maidservant, Amber, out of the village to breathe.The wind is warm and the weather is warm, and a large apricot grove in the southeast corner outside the village blooms early. The branches are covered with pink and white apricot blossoms, like brilliant clouds.

Strolling along the side of the apricot forest along the post road, the blue sky was like washing, the east wind was blowing, and the fresh fragrance came to the nostrils, and Lin Zisu couldn't help being crazy.

The memory stays on a pavilion, Gui Yan will pass by the window from time to time, outside the window is a forest of apricot blossoms, a woman is concentrating on painting in front of the window, she looks graceful, she turns her head suddenly, and looks at the handsome man behind her , the eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness.

This is Fang Qingyan's memory.

While thinking about it, another picture turned in my mind. Among the apricot blossoms, a four or five-year-old boy with gauze over his eyes was playing with a woman in her 20s. A three-year-old girl stood by and clapped her hands and laughed. with.

This is Lin Zisu's childhood memory.

The memories of the two worlds are intertwined, suddenly like a dream bubble, Lin Zisu is intoxicated, unable to extricate herself.

However, before she could finish this dream, the sound of horseshoes came from the post road not far away, pulling Lin Zisu back from her memory.She looked intently, there were more than ten people in that group, presumably they were also attracted by this apricot blossom forest, and they were stationed not far away to enjoy the flowers.

It was early spring at this time, and it was not yet the busy season of farming. The fields around Zhuangzi were almost deserted. Although Lin Zisu, master and servant, had simple decorations, they were out of tune with the bleak surroundings, standing by the roadside was very eye-catching.

The group of people obviously also saw Lin Zisu, and the leaders pointed to Lin Zisu's master and servant and whispered to each other, and then one of them reined in his horse and walked slowly to Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu saw that the person who came was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a purple brocade robe. Although he was not handsome, he had an extraordinary bearing. She wanted to ask, but she was a little stunned by what this young man said.

"Girl, I have a heartfelt request to borrow the bead flower on the girl's head." The young man dismounted from the horse, said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Lin Zisu's head.

It was the first time I met such a daring person who snatched a girl's jewelry in broad daylight. Hu Po was afraid that her daughter would be bumped by this young man, so she hurriedly stood in front of Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu didn't care much about men's and women's defenses, but was annoyed at the young man's rudeness. She stepped back a few steps, avoiding the young man's hand, and looked down to see a dead branch more than two feet long at her feet, and bent her head calmly. He lowered his waist, held the branch in his hands, and then swung it at the young man with his head covering his face.

The boy didn't expect Lin Zisu to react like this. He didn't care about the dead branch in Lin Zisu's hand, but Lin Zisu's shot was subtle. Was also drawn twice.Seeing that he couldn't dodge, the young man simply protected his face, saying repeatedly "Young lady has something to say", "A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands" and so on.

Seeing that the young man gave in, Lin Zisu slapped him more than ten times before giving up.

Lin Zisu had practiced those moves a few times in her previous life. Although they were fierce, the dead branches were light after all, and they were not very powerful when hit on people. There were only a few small holes hanging on the young man's brocade robe, and his face was covered with bruises. No red seal was left.

Seeing that Lin Zisu had stopped his hands, the young man straightened up, took a 20 taels of silver from his sleeve, leaned forward and salivated with a smile on his face, "Miss, don't take offense, I and the brothers over there There is a bet, there is some silver here, and I will treat it as buying your bead."

The group of people not far away laughed together when they saw the boy being taught a lesson by Lin Zisu.

Even though the young man talked nonsense, Lin Zisu knew what was going on, and dared to feel that the days of the gangsters were too idle, so they thought of making trouble out of nothing, and came to tease a strange girl for a bet, It is lawless.

Lin Zisu didn't take the money, and looked at the young man carefully, as if he had seen him in the previous life
It's him!A name came to Lin Zisu's mind. That's right, this young man is the younger brother of the second prince Xie Yao, the fourth prince Xie Xi, who will be named the king of Dunn in the future.

This Xie Xi was born to Concubine Li. Within a month of her birth, Concubine Li, her biological mother, died of illness and has been fostered under the name of Empress Liang.

At the beginning, Empress Liang didn't pay attention to her. After Empress Liang gave birth to the eighth prince Xie Xie, she became more slack in disciplining Xie Xi, and Xie Xi's behavior became more and more sloppy.

In the previous life, Xie Xi was a well-known absurd prince. Before being crowned king, he led a group of dudes in Beijing to wander around and make troubles all day long.

After Xie Yao came to the throne, Xie Xi became the city guard who stayed in the capital. He simply changed the couplet at the gate of the palace to "Fighting cocks and running dogs for a lifetime, and the rise and fall of the world do not know." He acted even more unscrupulously. Going to the streets, molesting women...

The censor wished he could write a memorial every day, it was not a felony for the prince to happen to such a trivial matter, and often he could only reprimand him, Xie Yao had a headache for a while, so he had to let it go.

Lin Zisu regretted secretly in her heart. Even if Xie Xi was the abrupt one today, if she offended the fourth prince, she would definitely bring great troubles to the Lin family. It doesn't matter if she has already died once, if it hurts the original family , that is really beyond redemption.

Immediately forced a smile and said: "My lord, there is no need to be like this. If you want to take it, there is nothing you can do..."

Seeing that Lin Zisu hesitated to take the money, Xie Xi turned his head and saw that his brothers also galloped over. While forcing the silver ingot into Hu Po's hand, Xie Xi reached out to Lin Zisu to beg for pearl flowers.

While speaking, the group of people came to the front, Lin Zisu looked up, and recognized a few of them based on the memory of the previous life, Xu Wentao, the second son of Princess Yong'an, Liang Mingtai, the eldest son of the Changguo Duke's Mansion, and the fourth son of the Changping Uncle's Mansion. The son Zhao Shixun, the third son Luo Peicheng of the Minister of Industry, and the eldest son Qin Lu of Dali Temple Shaoqing.
Before Lin Zisu could be recognized by others, Xu Wentao raised his whip and said with a smile: "In the past, my fourth cousin was easy to catch, but I didn't expect to fall under this girl's hands. It seems that my fourth cousin's gambling luck today is average. "

Xie Xi saw that there was no chance to get Zhuhua again, so he also smiled heartily: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, how can there be a general who is always victorious in the world?"

Xu Wentao was in a good mood when he heard Xie Xi admit defeat, so he set his sights on Lin Zisu.

He originally thought that Lin Zisu was an ordinary mountain girl, but upon closer inspection, the girl in front of him had a delicate face, wearing a lotus-colored muslin cotton skirt, black silk on her head, and a pair of dolls were simply tied on her head. The glass bead flowers look delicate and charming.

Xu Wentao had a thought, stepped forward and smiled at Lin Zisu: "This girl looks familiar, where have we met before? How about finding a place to catch up?"

This is Xu Wentao's usual method of flirting with others. As soon as he said this, everyone behind him immediately laughed.

Seeing these teenagers smiling and waiting for her lady to answer, Amber was terrified, pulled Lin Zisu and said, "Miss, it's windy outside, let's go back to Zhuangzi."

Lin Zisu knew that if she was entangled by these dudes, there would be unexplainable troubles in the future, and she couldn't afford to offend Xie Xi, so she raised her head and glanced at Xie Xi, then took off the pair of beads on her head, After handing it over to Hu Po, she bowed forward to Xie Xi and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is coming, but there is a long way to go to welcome him. Since His Highness has a request, the courtiers should be satisfied."

This flamboyant young man turned out to be the Fourth Prince?My lady actually beat the fourth prince?Amber looked suspicious, and handed the bead flower to Xie Xi respectfully.

Xie Xi took the pearl flower, looked at Lin Zisu again, and pondered: "My daughter? Whose family are you a child of, that you actually know the prince?"

Looking at the other party's handsome face with doubts, Lin Zisu resisted the urge to teach him another lesson, and calmly said: "My lady is stupid, I didn't recognize Your Highness before, please forgive me. Speaking of which, this lady has not yet Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

"Oh?" Qin Lu asked with a smirk on his face, "Could it be that this girl and His Highness are also old acquaintances?"

"Your Highness forgave the offense just now, and this is a great reward." Lin Zisu pretended to glance at Amber casually, "What's more, it's also my honor for Your Highness to take a fancy to my maid's Pearl Flower. "

This is clearly a threat!Hearing what this girl means, is it possible that she still wants to expose in public the fact that she spent money to buy pearl flowers?
Xie Xi looked at Lin Zisu with a half-smile, and said, "The ancients said, 'There must be fragrant grass within ten steps', don't deceive me!"

Lin Zisu met Xie Xi's gaze, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that His Highness is open-minded and open-minded. I saw him today, and it is true. The servant girl does not want to disturb His Highness's elegance, so I will leave." After finishing speaking, Xie Xi was not given a chance to speak. After saluting, he hurriedly fled with Amber.

Xu Wentao was obviously not reconciled to losing this match. Seeing Lin Zisu enter the Zhuangzi not far away, he waved his hand and ordered the two attendants behind him: "Inquire, whose Zhuangzi is this?"

"The bet just now, naturally the fourth cousin won."

Xu Wentao gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone has seen this girl. Although she was born in Zhuangzi, she has a decent appearance and temperament. I still have a bet here. I wonder if you dare to participate?"
