Jiaochu

After lunch, there will be a half-hour lunch break.

Everyone else went to rest, but Su Shi was still transcribing classics. When he dipped in ink again, he accidentally looked up and saw a face outside the window. He was stunned for a moment, with an obvious look of surprise on his face, and he forgot that he was holding a pen in his hand.

Feeling frightened, as if she was quite frightened, Ye Lingxi immediately waved and whispered, "Brother Su, it's me." Su Shi first put down the brush, then stood up and walked over.

"Why is the princess here?"

Ye Lingxi looked at him and asked, "Brother Su, aren't you angry?" Su Shi shook his head and lowered his eyes again, as if he was a little embarrassed, and held up his hands to apologize. Ye Lingxi also held up his hands to apologize, but at this time, he felt unhappy. The ground groaned, and she quickly covered her belly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then showed a bit of surprise, "Princess hasn't eaten yet?" She replied seriously, "I'm learning the method of fasting from grains in the book." Just after she finished speaking, her stomach growled again, and she hurriedly Saying goodbye to Brother Su, he clutched his belly and ran away.

Running all the way into the imperial garden, Ye Lingxi was stopped by someone again. If it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have gone, but it was Eunuch De, because her father happened to be walking in the garden at the moment, and he happened to see her slipping past.

"Don't scream, don't scream. I'll give you delicious food later." Ye Lingxi silently discussed with her stomach. When she walked over, she found that her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were all here. She wondered how she would get here today. It has to be so neat.

As soon as she finished her salute, she felt her stomach growling again, and she quickly covered her belly as if she had a stomachache.

Then, all four pairs of eyes looked at her belly.

"Lingxi, do you have a stomachache?" Ye Xingye asked with concern.

At this point, she could only explain that she was running for exercise, and then measured her waist with her hands on her hips, "She must have lost a little weight."

Ye Xingye believed it to be true and said sincerely, "Lingxi, actually you are not fat."

"Yeah." Ye Lingxi nodded, "Not fat, not fat." In order not to reveal her secret, she bowed and left.

Looking at the figure coming and going in a hurry, Ye Xingye was a little confused.

Ye Lanchen signaled, and Eunuch De asked Xiao Anzi to follow him and take a look.

Let's go to the imperial dining room first, where we can get something to eat.

Ye Lingxi made up his mind and quickened his pace to the imperial dining room. When he saw that there was no one around, he started running again.

When she was approaching the imperial dining room, she happened to see a little palace maid coming out with a food box, which should be filled with delicious food. She almost couldn't help but shout to the other party to stop. After patiently waiting for the little palace maid to leave, she immediately ran into the imperial dining room. , caught a young eunuch and asked him to quickly bring two plates of pastries. The young eunuch didn't know what was going on, so he hurried into the kitchen to get the pastries.

When the little eunuch came over with two plates of pastries, Ye Lingxi immediately picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. The little eunuch put the pastries on the table and advised, "Princess, eat slowly, be careful not to choke." He just finished speaking. , she choked, and the little eunuch immediately went into the room to bring tea.

Soon, a cup of tea was placed in front of Ye Lingxi. She picked up the cup and drank it in one sip. Someone next to her advised her, "Princess, drink slowly, don't choke." She looked up and was suddenly greeted by someone. He choked and coughed.

I don’t know when the little eunuch was replaced by little Anzi.

"Princess, it's good like this. You don't have to lose weight anymore. It will be bad if you starve yourself." Xiao Anzi explained patiently.

Ye Lingxi stuffed another pastry into his mouth and hummed vaguely.

After finishing both plates of pastries, she patted her belly with satisfaction and was about to get up to stretch her muscles. Xiao Anzi took out a handkerchief and wiped a little cake powder on her mouth. Ye Lingxi felt...a little strange. It was like being treated like a three-year-old child. "Princess, don't worry, this veil is new and has never been used." Xiao Anzi explained.

Ye Lingxi nodded and said, feeling unable to continue the conversation.

There was a hint of vague embarrassment in the air.

Xiao Anzi folded the veil again and put it back into his sleeve.

Ye Lingxi stood up, waved her hands and stretched her legs, and said, "It's getting late, go back." Xiao Anzi replied yes.

……

Two days later, the vassal kings and Jiedushi envoys arrived one after another.

This time, only King Pingnan came.

Some good people secretly speculated on the reason why the great vassal king came alone. They speculated that it was because of Meng Tianlan's poisoning last time. This time he came to ask for an explanation and waited for a good show.

King Zhenbei came with Murong Min and Rong Xian this time.

Some meddlesome people secretly speculated that the great vassal king came with his whole family, probably because he felt that the reward last time was not enough, and those who came to ask for reward this time were waiting for a good show.

The first appearance of the new feudal lord King Jin made those busybodies so excited that they just had to set up a stage to watch the show.

Last time, Prince Liu and his son died and fell into a coma. Although Prince Liu was lucky enough to save his life, he was stupid. Ye Lanchen had someone send him back to his fiefdom, and named Liu Jin, the eldest son of King Liu's concubine, as King Jin. He hoped that he would be careful in his words and deeds and be loyal to the king and serve the country.

Although Liu Jin is the son of King Liu, his appearance and demeanor are completely different from that of King Liu. He is handsome and thin, and he is very polite in dealing with others. He does not have the arrogance and domineering spirit of King Liu at all.

When Ye Lanchen received the other party, Ye Lingxi also secretly hid outside the imperial study room to peek. She was quite surprised when she saw the real person. It was really difficult to connect the father-son relationship between the other party and King Liu. She even doubted the other party's. Her biological father was someone else, but maybe her mother was particularly good-looking. Thinking of Prince Liu's virtue, she couldn't help but sigh, it was like a flower stuck in cow dung.

King Jin made a request to Ye Lanchen as soon as he met the saint.

Ye Lanchen picked up the tea cup and scratched it twice. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You don't hate him?"

Liu Jin said frankly: "No hate, that person has never shown the affection of father and son to Wei Chen, nor the affection of husband and wife to Wei Chen's mother. Wei Chen has just taken charge of the palace and needs a capable helper by his side. Your Majesty Give me real power, and I will never dare to betray the emperor's trust, I will try my best to manage the fiefdom, and I will never make the same mistake again."

Ye Lanchen took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "I can promise you, but there is something I need you to ask clearly."

Two days later, Commander Wu pulled someone out from the underground death row of Yetingsi.

This person was none other than He Chi.

A dim oil lamp was lit in the room, and a man in a black cloak was waiting inside. Commander Wu opened the door and two guards escorted He Chi in.

When the other party took off his cloak, He Chi's pale and indifferent face showed a look of surprise. The next moment, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly to the person in front of him.
