Dai Ziling

Chapter 157
Boom boom boom!
There was a rush of knocking on the door of Yi Wang Mansion, and the young man in the courtyard hurried to the door, paused, and did not open the latch right away.

Everyone knows what form Yujing is in now. His Royal Highness is now deprived of military power and placed under house arrest in the palace. At this time, who else would dare to step into this right and wrong place?

"Who?" The servant asked in a low voice, leaning against the door.

"Me! Teng Xuanchun! Open the door!"

Fifth prince?
The servant immediately pulled out the latch, pushed the door open, and said in shock, "Your Highness Fifth, you are..."

Regardless of 21, Teng Xuanchun pulled the servant and asked, "Where is fourth brother?"

Stretching out his fingers tremblingly, the boy said:
"Then...over there...Biyou Pavilion, what's the matter with you, Your Highness? Why don't you let the little one go first..."

Pushing the boy away, Teng Xuanchun ran in the direction of Biyou Pavilion without saying a word.

Just now when he heard the sound of the door being slammed, Mu Yan also rushed over. Seeing Teng Xuanchun whirling in the direction of Biyou Pavilion like a gust of wind, his face sank and he hurriedly followed.

The cleanest place in the palace used to be, but now it has become the most lively and joyous place because of the arrival of the new owner.

And Teng Xuanyi, like a different person, not only allowed everyone to come and go freely, but even the maids and servants in the mansion were dispatched to serve tea, pour water, and clean up. Of course, after a few days, they all became Zixi's friend.

Who is born slavish?Who doesn't expect everyone to be equal?Who is willing to bow their heads and bow their knees and call them slaves?
Helpless, in the world of life, fate is involuntary...

But in Biyou Pavilion, the queen-to-be in people's mind gave them the most sincere respect and care.

She memorized everyone's name, and she forbade everyone to kneel down and salute, and she forbade everyone to call themselves slaves.You will hear "thank you" when pouring tea for her, and "hard work" when you clean the room and courtyard. Here, you don't have to stand for a long time. When there is nothing to do, she will kindly tell everyone "find a place to sit and rest!"

At first, no one dared, but after she glared at the Fourth Highness for a few times, these treatment, which she would never even have imagined, became the "order" of the Fourth Highness.

Therefore, when Teng Xuanchun pushed open the gate of Biyou Pavilion and saw Zixi squatting under the tree with the servants and throwing dice with the jug in his hands, and the maids sitting under the tree around the charcoal stove laughing and chatting happily, he was stunned. Suspected that he was in the wrong place.

"Huh? Why are you here!" After confirming that it was Zixi's voice, Teng Xuanchun rubbed his face and entered the courtyard at a loss. The servant girls just wanted to stand up and salute, but they were stopped by Zixi's light cough up.

Zhu Lan walked out of the room first, followed by Teng Xuanyi and those familiar faces.

"Fourth brother, you... you, this..."

Speech incoherent, mind dazed, Teng Xuanchun collected himself, and finally swallowed the sentence "Cheng He Ding Tong".

Standing up, she patted the dirt on her hands, and Zixi said to everyone: "Play first, I'll be here soon!"

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and grabbed Teng Xuanchun's sleeve, and dragged him into the room with strides.

After closing the door, Zixi let go of her hand, and found that Teng Xuanchun's clean sleeves had a few bruised fingerprints, she slapped him a few times embarrassedly, and said:
"You don't stay at home honestly, what are you doing here?"

Reluctant to look away, Teng Xuanchun stared at Zixi and said in a low voice:

"Yi... The Yiqi army is in trouble!"

Zixi grabbed Teng Xuanchun's arm firmly again: "What's going on? Make it clear!"

The slight pain brought Teng Xuanchun back to his senses, he turned his head to look at Teng Xuanyi, and said:
"On the court two days ago, the father issued an order, ordering the Minister of the Ministry of War to arrange for the generals of the Yiqi Army to be dispersed to other armies, saying that they were required to impart combat experience and train the combat capabilities of each army. Not bad, those soldiers have been reused, but..."

Speaking of this, Teng Xuanchun was a little hesitant, Zixi pinched his arm fiercely, and said: "But what is it! Say it!"

"Hiss..." Teng Xuanchun held the hand on his arm with his mouth curled up, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "But I went to see my elder brother just now, and I heard that he was discussing this matter with the officials of the Ministry of War. It is said that the father has another secret purpose, and when the limelight passes, he will ask all the troops to find a reason to deal with them..."

Fingertips slipped from Teng Xuanchun's sleeves, and Zixi felt powerless for a while. Those soldiers were fine in one place, but now they are scattered everywhere, how can they be rescued...

There was silence in the house, and the courtyard was also silent. Mu Yan stood outside the door, and had already sent those servants out. He could hear Teng Xuanchun's words clearly.

Gently knocking on the door, Mu Yan said: "Your Highness, it's time to eat, should someone send it here?"

Zixi pushed open the door, glanced at the empty yard, and said to Mu Yan: "No, send it to the hall, please Mu Butler to call Luo Yiyao, oh, and Yue Lu and Qing'er, let's have dinner together .”

"Yes!" Mu Yan didn't say much, and turned to leave, with a slightly sad back.

Zixi secretly sighed in her heart: The Lei family back then was also driven to extinction like this...

With her back to everyone, Zixi didn't need to hide her sad expression, she said coldly: "Teng Xuanchun, you go back first!"

Teng Xuanchun was taken aback, and nodded with a wry smile. Since this girl has spoken, no one will leave her here for a meal.

He saluted Teng Xuanyi respectfully, and left reluctantly.

Still no one in the room opened their mouths, even Teng Xuanyun and Yan Tong just blushed with anger and communicated their indignation with their eyes.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat first."

Zixi's back trembled slightly, but no emotion could be heard in her words.She walked towards the gate without looking back, the purple skirt fluttered with the wind, and the waist-length blue strands were intertwined. In the cold emptiness, that slender and beautiful figure seemed more stubborn and determined.

In the hall, Luo Yiyao was already sitting there waiting. He knew that although Biyou Pavilion was no longer restricted, some people had better not approach it until they figured out some things, for example, Yue Lu.

Therefore, after he came back, under the guise of "searching" the precious medicinal materials of the palace, he took Qing'er and Yue Lu to the medicine storehouse all day long, sorting, storing, categorizing, and taking away some high-quality medicinal materials from time to time.

Teng Xuanyi turned a deaf ear to his behavior, and just ordered the people in the mansion "Let him go!"

In the past few days, except for sleeping, those people have never left Biyou Pavilion. Luo Yiyao has worked hard, but he still misses him very much. When he heard Mu Yan said that Zixi was coming to the hall, he threw a bunch of medicinal materials to Qing Er and Yue Lu ran over by themselves first.

Wang stretched his neck and looked in the direction of Biyou Pavilion, until he saw that smudge of purple appeared, then he jumped up from the chair and rushed forward in a hurry.

"Zixi!" panting and stopped, Luo Yiyao's expression changed from joy to worry.

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and when she saw her, she also had a faint expression. Luo Yiyao had a premonition that something had happened: "What's wrong?"

Without answering, Zixi continued to walk forward, Luo Yiyao glanced at the group of people following behind, all of them looked dignified and displeased, and thought to himself: It's broken!
When they reached the door, Zhu Lan grabbed Teng Xuanyi, and after everyone entered the hall, he asked in a low voice:

"How do you plan?"

After a while, Teng Xuanyi replied blankly:
"Whatever she wants, she can do!"

Zhu Lan raised one corner of his mouth: "Unfilial son!"

Eyes slanted, Teng Xuanyi also raised one corner of his mouth: "You are right!"

……

Zhu Lan's expression was very complicated, with a hint of admiration in the disgust, a hint of confusion in the joy, and a hint of arrogance in the worry.

With Teng Xuanyi's words, King Nandan's plan might come to nothing again.

After the food was served and everyone sat around the table, Qing'er and Yue Lu rushed over.

Glancing at Yue Lu, Lingyi put a piece of cookie on Zixi's plate.

After saying hello to everyone, the two found an empty seat and sat down. A strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils. Teng Xuanyun frowned and looked at Qing'er who was sitting next to him: "You two are sleeping in the pile of medicine. La?"

Qing'er smiled and said: "Almost! We were arrested by brother Yiyao to do coolies these few days, hey! I'm okay, I grew up in my family's drugstore, and I'm used to it. Poor Yuelu, she used to do flowers and plants. And so on, it's good now, buried in the pile of bitter herbs all day long, but she is more serious than me in doing things, brother Yiyao only praises her and always scolds me!"

Lingyi looked at Luo Yiyao, and smiled knowingly: "It's not a trivial matter to sort out the medicinal materials. Yue Lu is careful, and Luo Yiyao really knows how to find helpers."

If there was such a good topic of making trouble in the past, Zixi, a girl, would never miss it, but today she has been sitting there with a serious expression, stuffed two mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, and then drank alone.

From the dizziness at the beginning to the thousand cups now, apart from scented tea, mellow and mellow wine can enter her mouth.The flowers are withered in this season, and the dried flowers that have been sun-dried before have already been drunk, and the weather is getting cooler, so this wine has become something in her cup that she can't put it down.

Zhu Lan sat beside Zixi, looking at her depressed appearance felt very distressed, when she lifted the jug again, Zhu Lan gently pressed her wrist:

"Drink less, it will hurt your body."

Ignoring Zhulan's dissuasion, Zixi changed her other hand to carry the jug, but Teng Xuanyi, who was sitting on the other side, held down her wrist again, and said sharply:

"No drinking! Eat!"

Everyone stopped the chopsticks in their hands and looked at the three of them one after another. The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Is Teng Xuanyi losing his temper with Zixi?

Except for Zhu Lan, everyone's heart was in their throats, it was simply inexplicable!That girl drank almost every day, and Teng Xuanyi never cared about it. What happened today?Knowing that she was in a bad mood, not only stopped her from drinking, but also with this attitude, what's wrong?
"Let me go." There was a soft voice, but extremely indifferent.

Zhu Lan and Teng Xuanyi looked at each other, and at the same time, they tightened Zixi's wrist.

Finally, a hysterical cry broke out: "Let go of me!!!"

The two let go of their hands, and there was a crackling sound immediately after. Seeing the dishes on the table being dropped one by one, Lingyi smiled slightly, and moved a little later, for fear that the splashing soup would spill on her body.

The exclamation was ups and downs, but none of them was a word of dissuasion.

After a while, the table was finally empty, and there was a loud bang, and the chair behind Teng Xuanyi disappeared.

Immediately feeling refreshed, Zixi's mind was filled with only two words—happy!
There was such a big commotion in the hall that the servants and maids who had been attracted earlier gathered around the door.

Seeing that everything was "dust settled", Teng Xuanyi calmly ordered: "Clean it up, put it on another table, and bring some jugs of good wine."

Zhu Lan smiled and said loudly: "I want the best wine in this mansion!"
