Jiaochu

Chapter 38: A serial plan to remove the thorn in the side ([-])
"It's your first time to practice. Let's do it for half an hour today." Ye Xingye did the horse stance in an extremely standard posture, looking quite relaxed.

Ye Lingxi: "......."

After gritting his teeth and persisting for a few more minutes, small beads of sweat appeared on Ye Lingxi's white and tender forehead, his arms unconsciously sank, and his calves began to tremble.After gritting his teeth and persisting for a few more minutes, Ye Lingxi's fists sank as if they were filled with lead, and his waist also sank, almost sitting on the ground.

"Lingxi, your arms should be straight and your waist should be straight, just like me." Ye Xingye didn't realize at all that it was not easy for a beginner to do horse walking, not to mention that the other party was still a spoiled little girl.

Ye Lingxi took a few deep breaths silently, raised her arms again, straightened her waist, and tried to distract her attention on the green bamboo leaves in front of her.However, the fatigue caused by sore and numb muscles still caused her straightened arms to sink uncontrollably. After Ye Xingye reminded her several times, the sweat beads on Ye Lingxi's forehead had formed a line and flowed down her tense face. There was an obscene, ticking sound, and crystal beads of sweat fell to the ground.

Only then did Ye Xingye notice that something was wrong and asked quickly: "Lingxi, are you okay? Why don't you stop practicing now."

Ye Lingxi shook his head, his big clear eyes filled with a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

Ye Xingye was very relieved to see her face covered with sweat but still persisting.Before, he only thought that the little princess was soft, cute, and smart, but now he admired her even more, and he was more determined to teach the little princess well.

The bamboo leaves were rustling, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was no chirping of cicadas. The sun gradually set, slowly lengthening the shadows of the two people.

The orange-red light shone on Ye Lingxi's sweaty face, shining like a gem.

Ye Xingye estimated that half of the time had passed, and encouraged Ye Lingxi to keep persisting. The practice would be finished in half an hour. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lingxi collapsed on the ground like a deflated rubber ball.

My hands were sore and my feet were numb, and I didn't even have the strength to stand up. My mouth was thirsty and dry, and I couldn't be bothered to say a word.

When Ye Xingye hurried over, he saw that Ye Lingxi's eyes were distracted and dull. He felt a thump in his heart and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Ye Lingxi's eyes. Seeing that Ye Lingxi didn't react at all, he thought to himself, it's over, the emperor's sister is practicing Stupid, what should I do...

Ling Dang, who was waiting by the side, also hurried over. Seeing that Ye Lingxi couldn't even speak, she was so frightened that her eyes immediately turned red, and she screamed one princess at a time until her heart broke.

"Lingxi, are you okay? Just say something. Don't scare the third brother. Lingxi, Lingxi..."

Ye Xingye was so anxious that he almost burst into tears when he heard Ye Lingxi slowly say one word.

"water."

Ye Xingye's worries turned into joy, and he immediately poured a glass of water and gave it to Ye Lingxi to take a few sips slowly.

"Lingxi, are you feeling better? Do you want me to ask a doctor to come over and take a look?"

Ye Lingxi shook his head slowly.

"Then I'll carry you in and have a rest."

After Ye Xingye turned around and squatted down, Ling Dang helped Ye Lingxi lie on his back.After carrying the person on his back, Ye Xingye strode into the palace, while Ling Dang paid close attention to Ye Lingxi's mental condition along the way.

After putting the person down carefully, Ye Xingye rummaged through the boxes and found a lot of pills, powders, wine, and ointments for promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. After sorting for a while, he selected a bottle of wine from them.

"This medicinal wine is very effective. When I was practicing martial arts, I would get bruises all over my body every three days. I could wipe it with this medicinal wine and rub it for a while and it would be cured soon."

Ye Xingye handed the medicinal wine to Lingdang and asked her to rub it on Ye Lingxi, and he withdrew first.

She didn't dare to use the bell too much, for fear that the strong effect of the medicine would cause bad things. She carefully poured out a drop or two and rubbed it on Ye Lingxi's arm. After rubbing it gently for a while, she asked, "Princess, are you feeling better?"

A slight icy cold feeling spreads from the arm, which relieves the soreness and numbness a lot.

Seeing Ye Lingxi nodded, Lingdang was overjoyed, but she didn't dare to be careless. With only one or two drops, she massaged Ye Lingxi's limbs again, and Ye Lingxi could lift her hands and legs.

"Princess, practicing martial arts is so hard, why not forget it."

Ye Lingxi shook his head and said firmly, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, so you can't just give up halfway."

Lingdang sighed and said, "Princess, you should practice less for a while in the future. If anything goes wrong, the emperor will definitely make the slaves unable to eat and carry around." Ye Lingxi stood up and raised his hand to pat Lingdang's shoulder, "Don't worry, there is When I protect you, this princess will definitely make you enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food, and you will not be left without food."

Lingdang sighed again, looking unfounded.

"Lingxi, are you feeling better?" Ye Xingye asked from behind the screen.

Lingdang walked out and said, "The princess is much better now, but your highness's medicinal wine will work."

Ye Xingye was very happy and walked in excitedly. After seeing with his own eyes that the little princess could walk and talk, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

When we returned to Weiyang Palace, it was already evening.

After dinner, Ye Lingxi took Zhuer to play on the swing in the yard.

The sunset on the horizon faded, showing a transparent and light light.

Ye Lingxi sat on the swing, with Zhu'er slowly pushing behind him. He reported to Ye Lingxi about Aunt Li's whereabouts in the morning, went to the imperial kitchen, and brought back a bowl of nourishing bird's nest soup in a food box.

The last time Ye Lingxi asked Zhu'er to push her on the swing, she secretly told her to keep an eye on Aunt Li and see how many minions there were in the Weiyang Palace. By then, the whole pot would be stewed and no harm would be left.

Hearing the bird's nest soup, Ye Lingxi had a vague doubt in her heart. In her previous life, her mother-in-law often drank bird's nest soup to replenish her health. Her father specifically ordered the imperial kitchen to use the best, and there were no problems. But in her previous life, Concubine Xiao personally admitted that she had drugged her mother's food, and even the imperial doctor could not detect it. She died in the cold palace within half a year.

Thinking of this, her hand holding on to the rope of the swing became tighter and tighter, and her eyes became colder, as if she was trapped in a vortex of hatred, and would be destroyed if she lost control even a little bit.

"Lingxi, it's cold outside, don't be playful, you have to get up early for school tomorrow."

Concubine Lan's gentle and loving voice came over, and those cold and biting eyes returned to clear and agile.Seeing Concubine Lan's gentle figure standing outside the palace door, Ye Lingxi's nose felt sore, and she quickly ran over and threw herself into Concubine Lan's arms, calling her "mother concubine" with a slightly choked voice.Concubine Lan gently touched Ye Lingxi's little head and comforted her silently.

After a while, Ye Lingxi raised her head and asked with a smile: "Has the mother-in-law's mandarin ducks been embroidered?"

"You," Concubine Lan poked Ye Lingxi's head lightly, "Go to bed early. If you wake up late tomorrow and be late for school, you will be punished by the master."

"If my father doesn't come, I will sleep with my mother and concubine."

Ye Lingxi was burying herself in Lan Fei's arms and acting coquettishly, her nose feeling a little sore again.

At night, mother and daughter talked quietly.

"How did the mother-in-law and the father-in-law know each other?"

"Why are you asking this? Go to sleep."

"No, if my mother doesn't tell me, I'll ask my father."

"You, I really can't do anything against you. My mother-in-law said, you should sleep well."

"Concubine, please tell me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night. Concubine, please tell me, just tell me."

"The emperor was still a prince at that time, and the court won the battle. The late emperor was very happy and hosted a banquet in honor of all the civil and military officials. That time I followed your grandfather into the palace for the banquet, and saw the emperor from a distance through the crowd."

"Has your father seen your mother and concubine?"

"It happened several years ago, and I can't remember clearly. Go to sleep. You have been studying and practicing martial arts today. You must be exhausted. If you don't sleep, you will doze off at school tomorrow."
