Jiaochu

He was still wearing a snow-white crane feather cloak, and his whole body seemed to be calmer and calmer. His pupils were clear and cool, like a mirror without temperature, which could easily see through a person's hidden secrets.

After Xiao Yun walked out of the gate to greet him, the person in the carriage finally showed up.

A book is lifted up from the car curtain, and a black jade ring is worn on the thumb, which shows his extraordinary status. The face that appears behind the car curtain has a sharp appearance, which will leave a deep impression on people at first glance. The long aquiline nose gives people a sense of decisive and cold oppression, and the eyes are sharp and alert, as cunning as a cat and as sharp as an eagle, making people afraid to approach easily.

Wearing a loose robe, the color is gray and not conspicuous. Although it is low-key, it does not lose its magnificence.

The person who got off the carriage with a book is the head of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao. He looks like he is in his forties. His eyes are bright and restrained, his complexion is fresh and natural, his figure is relatively tall, and he looks very strong. Tough.

"Grandpa." Xiao Yun bowed his hands in salute.

Mr. Xiao looked at the facade of the house, his eyes fell on the plaque, and said: "The name is not good, let's change it."

After entering, Mr. Xiao said that it is not good to plant bamboo in the yard. It is not good to replace it with pines and cypresses. It is not good to leave the pond empty. We need to raise fish, and we need to raise nine fish. The appearance should be good, two red, two yellow, two green, two white, and one black. .

After a while, another carriage came, and the guards unloaded dozens of boxes of various sizes from the carriage, including tea cups, bowls, chopsticks, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

The next day, a congratulatory gift was delivered to Qingliang Garden, from Xiao Anzi.

The gift is packed in a fine rosewood box with gold and colorful paintings on it, which is very valuable.

Xiao Anzi said it was a congratulatory gift from Mr. Xiao. Ye Lingxi was a little surprised and a little strange when he heard this. When did Mr. Xiao come to the capital? At the same time, he was also a little curious about what kind of person he was.

She opened the lid and saw a longevity lock made of jade inside. The jade was transparent and simple, so it should be an ancient jade. She picked it up, looked at it, put it back in the box, and asked if anyone had entered the palace. Xiao Anzi replied that it was sent by Xiao Yun.

"Brother Xiao Yun is here?" She was a little surprised.

Xiao Anzi replied: "I heard that Mr. Xiao has been living in the capital and has not gone back."

She was even more surprised and asked Mrs. Xiao if he had also come to the capital. Xiao Anzi nodded.

In the evening, she took the longevity lock and studied it. She always felt that the gift was a bit strange. The arrival of Mr. Xiao was also a bit strange. In the last life, her second brother did not show up when he was crowned the prince. Why did he suddenly show up now? It was a rush. Are you here with Xiao Jinnian?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown. The next moment her expression froze, and she immediately threw away the longevity lock in her hand.

The originally transparent jade was covered by a bright red color, as if blood was flowing. In the blink of an eye, it was completely covered, exuding a chilling and ominous aura.

The next moment, the bright red color quickly retracted, condensed into the first small red dot, and then disappeared.

When Hehe and Lingdang heard the noise and walked in, the longevity lock had been restored to its original state.

Ye Lingxi stared at it with a solemn expression. The two of them didn't know why, so Lingdang asked. She calmed down, put the longevity lock back into the wooden box, and told them not to tell her mother and concubine. They both took note of it.

The next night, she took out the longevity lock again and found that this time the color turned green and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the third night, she noticed it had turned purple.

On the fourth night, she noticed it had turned yellow.

……

On the seventh night, she found that it had turned blue.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, the colors are never the same every day.

She thought to herself that this was the legendary seven-color jade, which was hard to find and priceless. Are you trying to win people's hearts by sending such an expensive gift?

Before she could figure out what medicine the other party was selling, she decided to hide it from her mother and concubine.

Dr. Zhong stayed a little longer and worked with Dr. Han to nurse Concubine Lan's body. Concubine Lan's body recovered day by day, and Xiao Jinnian became whiter and fatter day by day. Ye Lingxi never left the cradle every day, looking at that picture. She couldn't get enough of his pink face. She played with him in various ways, sang, recited poems, played the flute, and used all kinds of martial arts.

One day, she lay down next to the cradle and took a nap. When she woke up, she found that her index finger was held by a soft little hand. It is no exaggeration to say that her heart melted at that moment, even when she went to bed at night. Laughing.

……

On the day of the Hundred Days Banquet of the Fourth Prince's Ye Jin Year, Ye Lanchen granted amnesty to the whole world and held a grand banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. All civil and military officials came to the palace with their families to congratulate him.

Ye Qingran and Su Wan prepared gold necklaces.

Xiuzhou also sent a congratulatory gift, which was a longevity lock made of sterling silver.

Ye Lingxi saw Su Shi, but not Yan Fei. She subconsciously looked for him, but she didn't want him to appear, because if she saw him, she would have to face the decision she had made.

A bead dangled in front of her.

Zhao Ce proudly showed off that this was a family heirloom he bought from someone else. Ye Lingxi's attention was on the person behind him. She didn't recognize who it was at first, but the other person said hello shyly, Only then did she recognize it was Jin Yao.

When it comes to the most important part of catching the week, Dahui catches the week on the day of the Hundred Days Banquet, while Qiwei and other places catch the week on the day of the first-year banquet. The customs and habits of different places are different.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two soft little hands to see what the fourth prince would grab.

Ye Lingxi found that there was an extra bead in the item. She looked at Zhao Ce, who smiled at her triumphantly, as if he had done something with a sense of accomplishment.

"That that..."

Ye Xingye kept pointing at the bow and arrow in front of him, trying to communicate with his eyes, but failed because those black eyes didn't look at him at all.

Ye Lingxi was interested in books, but as long as Xiao Jinnian liked them, he could get whatever he wanted.

Concubine Rong coughed lightly, and Ye Xingye became quiet.

Under the gaze of everyone, the fourth prince reached for the rattle.

Concubine Xiao smiled proudly.

Ye Lingxi blamed herself in her heart. If she had known better, she would not have used the rattle to tease him every day. Then she thought about it, it would not be bad to be a free prince who eats, drinks and has fun. Just when she thought about it, Ye Jinnian stopped holding the rattle and reached out to grab the pen and ink. Paper inkstone.

Some ministers took the opportunity to praise Ye Jinnian, the fourth prince, who would be very talented in the future.

Concubine Xiao's face darkened again.

Ye Lingxi was happy in her heart, it was not bad to be a talented prince.

Then Ye Jinnian stopped holding the brush and reached out to grab the book.

Ye Lingxi was very happy in her heart. It would be great to be a leisurely prince who likes to read, marry a girl he likes and have a pair of lovely children...

When she was thinking about the future, Ye Jinnian stopped holding the book. He looked in the direction of Ye Lanchen with his dark eyes, and raised a soft little hand as if to grab the dragon robe.
