Jiaochu

Chapter 37: A serial plan to remove the thorn in the side ([-])
The yard is filled with a mixed medicinal fragrance. The various medicinal materials are gradually dried by the sun, and the smell becomes rich, as if the wind, frost, snow and fog are stored in it.

The period near dusk is Baihu's favorite time of the day. The light is bright and dark, just enough to clearly see the words on the book. The hustle and bustle of the day gradually falls silent at this time, and only the scent of medicine flows quietly in the yard. .

Ye Lingxi hid by the wall and looked inside. She saw that Bai Hu was the only one in the yard sitting on the steps reading a book. She asked He He and Ling Ding to stay and walked in alone.

"You've seen so much?"

Bai Hu raised her head and saw Ye Lingxi standing in front of her at some point. She was wearing a pink dress today and had a pink headband on the two little balls on her head.

Ye Lingxi looked in surprise as Bai Hu turned over nearly a third of the medical classics. He bent down and lowered his head. The two lotus root pink hair ribbons almost fell to the book. Bai Hu moved to the side and closed the book. , wiped the cover of the book with his sleeve, held the book in his arms, stood up and saluted Ye Lingxi, and asked: "Princess, what do you want to do today?"

"I'm just coming over to see you." Ye Lingxi stretched out his hand to compare Bai Hu's height. He glanced at his old gray clothes and pants, and then at the patched shoes on his feet. Shoes, then turned around and looked at the sun that was about to set, "It's getting late, I'll go back first and come back to see you in two days."

Bai Hu looked at Ye Lingxi's leaving figure, and a trace of confusion flashed across Qingning's eyebrows. Then he sat down on the steps again, put the heavy medical book on his knees, opened it, and looked at it intently again.

When we returned to Weiyang Palace, the lanterns were turned on.

The lights in the courtyard are beautiful, and the clusters of orchids and laurel trees exude a strange fragrance in the cool twilight, which is quiet and elegant. The snow-white jasmine flowers in the flowerbed are in full bloom.

Ye Lingxi stood in the yard quietly smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants, feeling extremely peaceful in her heart.

"Princess, go in first, so as not to catch a cold." He He advised carefully.

Aunt Li also opened the curtain and walked out, "The princess is back. Come in quickly. The queen is waiting for the princess inside to have dinner with her."

"Where is the father?" Ye Lingxi asked as he walked over.

Aunt Li replied: "The Emperor has left."

Ye Lingxi didn't ask any more questions and went back to the dormitory to rest after dinner.Zhu'er followed and said a few words to Ye Lingxi before resigning and leaving.

The night was uneventful, but when Lingxi went to the study room the next day, he found that Yanfei had not come.

After finally waiting until lunch time, Ye Lingxi was finally able to ask Su Shi about the reason.

"Brother Su, why didn't Brother Yan come today?"

"Xiao Yan went to another place with his grandfather yesterday and will not come back for a while."

Ye Lingxi thought about it for a moment and found that nothing major happened during this period.

"I heard that boy Yan Fei followed General Yan to suppress the bandits." Ye Xingye came over and said excitedly.

While they were talking, the three of them entered the living room and sat down at a table by the window. Ye Lingxi was still immersed in memories. In her last life, she seemed to have heard people in the palace talking about water bandits. As a child, she had no idea about these things. I don't care much, and I don't know where the water bandits are from and how many troops they have. Trying to remember now is in vain.

Seeing Ye Lingxi in a daze, Ye Xingye waved his hand in front of her eyes, thinking that she was frightened by the bandits, so he quickly enlightened: "General Yan is a very good fighter. He will definitely beat those little thieves to pieces." "Hmph~" The person at the next table snorted, and Zhao Ce said proudly, "What little thieves are you? They are water bandits, there are tens of thousands of them."

"So much?"

Facing Ye Lingxi's curious gaze, Zhao Ce became even more energetic.

"There are tens of thousands of people there, it must be a bluff." Ye Xingye retorted.

Zhao Ce said: "My father said there were more than 2 people, and they also surrounded the fleet coming back from Xiyan." When he said this, he glanced at Su Shi, and saw that his expression did not change much and continued to add jealously, "I heard that They also kidnapped everyone on the boat and wanted to chop off their hands and feet." Seeing that Su Shi's expression finally changed, Zhao Ce smiled proudly, and the next moment, Ye Lingxi hit him on the arm with his chopsticks. He hissed, seeing that it was Ye Lingxi's "poisonous hand" and not being able to lose his temper, he turned his head away with a groan and ignored others.

"I have often heard that these water bandits are the most ferocious. They kill people and steal goods. They do everything. Some of them even eat human flesh." Rong Jue deliberately told Jin Yao and Chen Ping. He looked at Su Shi and saw his solemn expression. He felt more and more worried. carefree.

"How do you know? Have you seen him?" Ye Lingxi raised his hand and pointed at Rong Jue, and said righteously, "He who confuses the public with his evil words should be punished for his crime."

The last two words were so frightening that Rong Jue's expression changed and he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.

"Princess, I've also heard that, is it possible that the princess will kill someone just by saying a few words?" Rong Jue made a submissive gesture on his face, but there was something hidden in his words.

Ye Lingxi really wanted to take a needle and sew Rong Jue's mouth shut. It would be best to seal it with paste.

"Three people make a tiger, don't you even understand this truth?" Ye Lingjue's voice was not high-pitched, but the noble and cold temperament in his bones could easily catch people's attention, "There are too many people talking about it. Of course some people believe it. Anyone who shakes the morale of the army in the military camp will be killed with a cane. If you want to live a long time, keep your mouth shut and don't follow what others say." The pair of peach blossom eyes turned back, and a sharp cold light flashed from the corner of the eye, frightened. Rong Jue lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He lost his appetite even after taking two bites of the meal.

"Is the Second Emperor Brother angry? It's really scary." Ye Xingye whispered.

"Who told him to talk nonsense? That's right!" Ye Lingxi comforted Su Shi and said, "Brother Su, Uncle Su will definitely come back safely. Really, I won't lie to you."

Looking at Ye Lingxi's serious eyes, Su Shi believed her words for no reason.

It's as if those eyes can see things that others can't see, the ethereal thread of fate.

After school in the afternoon, Ye Xingye remembered teaching Ye Lingxi how to practice martial arts. He originally wanted to ask Su Shi to stretch his muscles so that he could feel better. However, today the housekeeper of the Su family came to pick him up. After Su Shi and his brother and sister left, Then he left the palace with the housekeeper.

Ye Xingye lives in Ganquan Palace. When he enters the door, he can see several poles of bamboo, which are cool and green. When the breeze passes by, he can hear the sound of bamboo leaves rustling, just like the sound of nature.

"Let's practice here, it's cooler here."

Ye Xingye took Ye Lingxi to the edge of the green bamboo, and it was indeed cooler than elsewhere.Ye Xingye first taught Zama Steps, demonstrated the movements personally, and then let Ye Lingxi try it out.

Ye Lingxi followed Ye Xingye's example and bent her knees, holding her hands in fists in front of her. Ye Xingye raised her arms a little higher and told her to keep her arms straight and not to bend her waist.Ye Lingxi only persisted for a few minutes when she felt her arms were sore and her legs and feet were numb. She originally thought that the horse step was easy, but it turned out that it looked easy, but it was really fatal to do it.
