Jiaochu

Chapter 315 High Fives for Faith

After listening, Ye Lingxi pondered for two seconds and said: "So, the elixir was taken away by Black and White Wuchang. Then where is this Black and White Wuchang?"

"Princess, do you remember that peach blossom lady?" Murong Ze asked.

Ye Lingxi's expression changed slightly, "Is she just black and white?"

"She is Bai Wuchang, Hei Wuchang has died long ago." Murong Ze said.

After understanding what medicine the other party was selling in the gourd, Ye Lingxi couldn't help but frown. At that time, Peach Blossom Lady's funeral affairs were handled by Long Yingwei. If the elixir was carried by her, it should be with Long Yingwei now.

"If you take the elixir and become a god and do harm to others, then wouldn't I, the princess, be a helper of evil?"

Murong Ze smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry, the so-called elixir is just a gimmick to fool people. Besides, if you really become a god, you will go to heaven, which is boring. If the princess is in trouble, just treat it as a story and forget it." Got it." He straightened the blanket on his knees and patted it twice, as if dusting it.

"Do you really just want the elixir and nothing else?" Ye Lingxi said.

Murong Ze looked out the window, "I still want to ride a horse again and run happily in the ice and snow. The princess has never seen the heavy snow in the north. At that time, the sky and the earth became a vast expanse of white, and I couldn't tell where it was. Which way is north?" At this point, he stretched out his hand as if catching an illusory snowflake, "riding a horse in the snow is really a joy."

"Okay, I believe you once." Ye Lingxi stretched out her hand to give her a high-five. Murongze raised her hand, she gave her a hard high-five and said fiercely, "If you lied to me, I will be rude to you! "Murong Ze was about to speak, but she stretched out her hand to signal him to stop talking, "You owe this princess something, don't forget it." After saying that, she left. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hongxing standing at the door, as if Afraid that she had bullied someone.

"Princess, walk slowly." Hongxing bowed and saluted.

I wish I could leave quickly, Ye Ling Xixin said.

After Ye Lingxi left with Hehe and Bell, Hongxing walked in and was about to take the teacup off the table. Murongze asked her to leave it, but Hongxing said that the tea was cold and she wanted to change it to a hot cup.

Murong Ze closed his eyes and said nothing, and Hong Xing stepped back holding the tea cup. After coming out, she walked over and asked Jingzhe, "Master, do you often meet the third princess when you go out these days?" Jingzhe did not answer, and Hongxing said again, "The third princess is young and has a bad temper, but the second princess is still well-behaved and sensible. In the future, It won't cause trouble." Jingzhe didn't say anything. Hongxing felt bored and left with the tea cup.

After leaving Liuli Garden, Ye Lingxi walked around casually, and then went in the direction of the imperial study. He stopped again on the way, stood there and thought for a while, then walked back. After walking a few steps, he stopped again. After standing silently for a few seconds, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

After arriving at the imperial study, she first hid outside the door and poked her head out to take a look. Yan Fei was not there, nor were the other three guards. She guessed that her father was walking in the imperial garden.

As she thought, people were really walking in the imperial garden.

However, Ye Lanchen was not walking alone. He was followed by two people. One was Ruan Zhu, the Number One Scholar, and the other had a calm face, wise eyes, and a kind of immortal hermit temperament in his movements. He was around forty. He Zhiyuan, the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs.

Ye Lingxi saw a group of people following her father from a distance. She found Yan Fei's figure first, and then quietly followed him, keeping a close distance.

Seeing Ruan Zhu, she remembered something again. When she originally planned to wait for the other party to enter the palace to express her gratitude, she called someone to ask what happened after leaving the city that day. Was she really lost while traveling around? Then a series of things happened, and she forgot about it. Xianbao, the most beautiful woman, the incense of the soul, Prince Sheng, Mrs. Gu, the Minister of Household Rongliang... one by one, it's like an invisible hand is carefully weaving a net, trying to capture everyone They are all caught in the net and turned into obedient puppets on silk threads.

The Rong family was raided and the household department was replaced. The matter seemed to be over, but Ye Lingxi had an intuition that the matter was only temporarily over. There were undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm water, and he didn't know who would be involved next time. .

The crowd in front stopped.

Ye Lanchen took He Zhiyuan and Ruan Zhu to sit down in the pavilion. The palace servants who served them all acted according to Eunuch De's eyes. Xiao Anzi served tea to Ye Lanchen, and Furong and another palace maid served tea to He Zhiyuan and Ruan Zhu.

Feng Dutou led Yan Fei and two other guards to guard around the pavilion.

Ye Lingxi hid behind a rockery, using both hands as lens tubes in front of his eyes to peek. His eyes stayed on Furong for two more seconds, and then moved to He Zhiyuan, the new Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and looked at her more. The other party glanced at Yan Fei twice, then returned to Yan Fei.

After coming out of the library last time, Ye Lingxi felt that the other party seemed to be avoiding her intentionally. She could bump into him once every few days before, but now it has been seven or eight days and she hasn't bumped into her. She thought that maybe it was because of her father these days. She was busy handling official duties in the imperial study and did not have time to walk around. She also did not disturb her father, so the two of them could not meet each other. However, this reason did not seem to be convincing enough. The two of them had also not met before when they changed shifts. We've met each other, sometimes when Yanfei goes on errands.

But these days, she has not even seen the other party's shadow. If her father had not been free for a trip today, she would have suspected that the other party did not want to talk to her because of a childhood sweetheart who wanted to avoid suspicion.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Ye Lingxi saw her father still sitting in the pavilion and wondered what they were talking about. Why hadn't they finished talking yet? Youdao said nothing more than being speculative. She thought that her father must have particularly appreciated the two of them, otherwise the conversation would not be so speculative.

About half an hour later, she finally saw her father getting up and preparing to leave.

Seizing the opportunity, she rushed out and ran to Ruan Zhu and said, "You are the number one scholar. I heard you are very powerful. Do you dare to compete with me?"

Ruan Zhu was confused when a little girl suddenly appeared and wanted to compete with him.

After the introduction by Eunuch De, Ruan Zhu and He Zhiyuan both saluted Ye Lingxi.

"What are you competing for?" Ye Lanchen said with a smile on his lips, implicitly admiring the little girl's courage that "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers".

"Father, Lingxi is good at horseback riding, archery, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything." Ye Lingxi reported her eighteen talents without any guilt, then looked at Ruan Zhu and asked, "Can you ride a horse? ?Can you shoot arrows? Can you shoot arrows while riding on a horse?"

Ruan Zhu replied humbly: "I am not good at equestrian skills and dare not show off in front of the princess."

"Since you are the number one scholar, your literary talent must be very good. I will not test you on this. Let's compete in riding and shooting." Ye Lingxi walked up to Yan Fei again and said, "Brother Yan will be the judge."
