Jiaochu

Chapter 39: A serial plan to remove the thorn in the side ([-])
The next day, Ye Lingxi quietly explained something to Zhu'er before going to the Chancellor's study room, and also thought of a way for Zhu'er.

When she woke up this morning, Ye Lingxi was still thinking about giving medicine. The meals in the imperial dining room were all delivered by special personnel, and Manager Wang, who was in charge of the imperial dining room, could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and no one under him dared to play tricks.

This prince has been in charge of the imperial kitchen since the previous dynasty, and has a dedicated person responsible for three meals a day in each palace.

The unique bird's nest soup is made by Aunt Li herself.It was easy to do something on the way back.

Hehe and Lingdang looked at each other in confusion when they saw Ye Lingxi's serious expression and wondered what he was thinking.

"Are you worried about Young Master Yan? Princess, don't worry. With Old General Yan here, everything will be fine." Lingdang explained.

Ye Lingxi: "...Brother Yan has great martial arts skills, and those water bandits are definitely no match for him."

When they were approaching the study room, Ye Lingxi saw Ye Qingran walking in front and ran over to call her eldest brother. Ye Qingran walked directly past her and left, her attitude obviously more distant and cold than before.

"What's wrong, big brother? Are you angry with me?" Ye Lingxi murmured in his heart, and then thought back to the relationship between the two of them. He had obviously had a great conversation with her when he was carrying her, so why did he change his attitude today? Oh, is she in a bad mood or did she say something wrong?
Could it be that because he didn't get a word of praise at the martial arts training ground yesterday, he felt angry and didn't want to pay attention to others?

Ye Lingxi felt that this was most likely the reason.

"Why are you standing here in a daze? Are you having nightmares that scare you so much that you dare not sleep?" Zhao Ce came over and said, looking like he was gloating about his misfortune.

"Yes, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the crown prince's brother was crying and clamoring to marry me, but it scared me so much that I dared not sleep." Ye Lingxi sighed again, feeling very frustrated.

Zhao Ce's face flushed with anger, "Whoever wants to marry you will cry at every turn and look like a bun -"

Ye Lingxi stamped on Zhao Ce's instep and left with He He and Bell without looking back.

"Little crybaby, let me tell you, even if all the girls in the world die, I will not marry you!"

As soon as Zhao Ce finished his harsh words, Ye Lingjue passed by and glanced at Zhao Ce from the corner of his eye, giving Zhao Ce a chilling feeling.After a while, he felt that the words were boring again, and he walked into the study room.

When Master Xu started to call the names, Ye Lingxi discovered that Su Shi was not here today either.

During lunch, Ye Lingxi heard Zhao Ce and Rong Jue at the next table talking about Su Shi's family, and deliberately let her hear.

"Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Su heard that all the people in the fleet were attacked by water bandits." At this point, Zhao Ce wiped his neck. "Mrs. Su was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. She's not awake yet."

"Is he having a stroke?" Rong Jue snickered.

Ye Lingxi coughed and stared at Rong Jue, who felt guilty and talked about other topics.Seeing Ye Lingxi getting up and walking over, Rong Jue subconsciously protected his arms.

"Where's the turtle you painted?" Ye Lingxi stopped in front of Chen Ping and asked.

Chen Ping replied nonchalantly: "I haven't finished the painting yet."

"Then how many of them can you draw? Show them to me first. If they don't look good, redraw them." Ye Lingxi stretched out his hand to ask for it, but Chen Ping couldn't give it to him. He didn't draw any at all. He only thought about it after leaving the palace yesterday. Xue Le had already forgotten this matter.

Seeing that Chen Ping was frustrated, Zhao Ce said righteously: "Isn't it just painting a turtle? What's the difficulty? Give him three days and make sure to finish it all."

Chen Ping: "..."

"Then three days. In three days I will see a hundred turtles. They must be equally beautiful, or else I will draw another hundred turtles." Ye Lingxi said.Zhao Cehao said angrily: "What's so difficult about this? It's settled in one word."

Chen Ping: "......."

After school in the afternoon, Ye Lingxi went to Ganquan Palace to do horse walking as usual. Ye Lingjue also came, sitting on the stone bench next to him and watching the two of them doing horse walking.

This time, just half a quarter of an hour later, Ye Lingjue came over and said, "Let's get here today and practice again tomorrow." His eyes paused on Ye Lingxi's slightly sweaty forehead.

"Second brother, you must persevere in practicing martial arts and don't give up halfway." Ye Xingye enlightened based on the experience of those who have been there.

Ye Lingjue saw the determination not to admit defeat from Ye Lingxi's big clear eyes, turned around and walked back to the stone bench to sit down.

As time passed, the sweat on Ye Lingxi's forehead gradually became denser.

Ye Xing also had a calculated intention. Remembering that Ye Lingxi was so exhausted after half an hour of stabbing yesterday that he couldn't even speak. Today, he decided to practice for a quarter of an hour and proceed step by step.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Xingye asked: "Lingxi, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest first."

Ye Lingxi shook his head, "Third brother, I can still persist."

Ye Xingye was very pleased and admired the little imperial sister's martial arts spirit that was not afraid of hardships and obstacles.

After another half-quarter of an hour, Ye Lingxi felt exhausted, her arms began to sink, and beads of sweat fell down her face.

Ye Lingxi gritted his teeth and raised his already sore arm, ready to hold on, but a hand held his arm down.

The hand was very well-proportioned, with slender joints and no excess fat. At first glance, it looked like a hand for playing the piano and painting. However, there were some calluses on the tiger's mouth, which added strength to the hand that was as delicate as a white-faced scholar. feel.

Ye Lingjue pressed down Ye Lingxi's arm that was still trying to lift up, and said in an unquestionable tone: "We will practice again tomorrow."

"Second brother," Ye Xingye just opened his mouth when Ye Lingjue glanced at him, and the rest of the words were immediately swallowed back in his throat.

Ye Lingjue took out an unusually clean and white handkerchief from his sleeve and prepared to wipe the sweat from Ye Lingxi's face. Ye Lingxi wiped his face with his sleeve, and Ye Lingjue's outstretched hand stopped for a moment. Then he put the veil back into his sleeve.

"Can you still walk back? How about someone carry you back?"

Perhaps because he was angry at Ye Lingxi's stubborn temper, Ye Lingjue's tone became a little colder.Ye Lingxi threw her little head forward and walked away without looking back. Lingdang and Hehe quickly followed.

Although my legs and feet were sore, my unwillingness to admit defeat did not diminish at all.

After walking out of Ganquan Palace, Ye Lingxi looked back and saw that Ye Lingjue was still following behind. She gritted her teeth and continued walking forward, not wanting him to look down on her.

After walking forward for a while, Ye Lingjue stepped forward and stood in front of her. Then he bent down and reached out to pat one of her short legs. It wasn't light or heavy, but it just hit the sore and numb feeling. Feeling that Ye Lingxi's scalp suddenly became numb and trembling, her two beautiful eyebrows almost wrinkled into a line.

It was as if an extreme balance had been broken, and a sense of soreness and numbness swept over me like an overwhelming sea.

Ye Lingxi couldn't hold on anymore and was about to sit down on the ground. A hand caught her in time. The next moment, she pulled her hand behind her back. Before she could react, Ye Lingjue carried her on his back. Go ahead.
