Jiaochu

After putting the bracelet back into the box, Ye Lingxi opened another brocade box, took out the hosta and looked at it for a while, then tried it on her head and found that it matched her clothes well.

Opening another brocade box, there were two fine Zihao pens inside.

Open another brocade box, inside is a wooden rabbit, open another brocade box, inside is a lifelike wooden kite...

When she opened a long brocade box and saw the scroll inside, she thought it would be a valuable painting. When she opened it, her face suddenly darkened.

Some unscrupulous person painted her over the wall and gave it as a gift.

Soon she thought of the evil one.

Open another brocade box, and inside is a round bead.

She knew who sent it without even thinking.

After reading all the gifts, Ye Lingxi kept the ones she could use on daily basis, and divided the others into two groups. One group was put into her small vault, and the other was put into a small black box, such as a picture scroll sent by a wicked person.

Two days later, Ye Lingxi heard a piece of news from Xiao Anzi.

Su Wan and Prince Jin had a tryst at Baohua Temple.

When Ye Lingxi heard the news, her first reaction was outrageous, quite outrageous, very outrageous.

"Some people just like to look for trouble, and it is said that they have it." Ye Lingxi was quite confident about Su Wan's character.

Xiao Anzi echoed: "I also feel that Miss Su is not such a frivolous person. She must be entangled with the eldest son Jin for no reason." Ye Lingxi nodded in agreement. She did not have a good impression of the eldest son Jin, who was dark and vindictive. The evil will be repaid, so he raised an actor as an extra room, and he was lustful.

Xiao Anzi paused and then said, "But I heard that Miss Su secretly went out at night to have a tryst with Mr. Jin."

"What a tryst, don't talk nonsense, Sister Su is not like that." Ye Lingxi looked serious, Xiao Anzi admitted her mistake, she said, "There must be something weird." Thinking of this, she decided to leave the palace.

At this time, a young eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words to Xiao An, who then reported it to Ye Lingxi.

Zhao Ce beat Zhong Hong, the Minister of Rites.

Eunuch De led Marquis Ningyang to the imperial study.

The three of them were waiting outside, except Zhao Ce, Zhong Hong, and Su Shi. Zhong Hong's face was stained and he was punched.

It just so happened that Yanfei was on duty again.

Not wanting to be looked down upon by the other party, Zhao Ce raised his face in disapproval, like a big aggressive rooster. When he saw Eunuch De bringing Marquis Ningyang over, he immediately lowered his head and lost his arrogance.

Marquis Ningyang glanced at Zhao Ce and followed Eunuch De into the imperial study.

After a while, Eunuch De took Zhong Hong in again.

Zhao Ce glanced around and whispered to Su Shi, "Don't worry, the Minister of Household Affairs named Zhong doesn't dare to do anything." Su Shi said nothing, a dignified shadow cast over his gentle face.

Yanfei paid attention to Su Shi's direction, and his expression became a little solemn. There was a solemn atmosphere in the yard.

Everyone was silent, and Zhao Ce didn't want to speak much. Although he spoke calmly, he was still a little scared in his heart. After waiting uneasily for a cup of tea, Eunuch De came out and said to Su Shi: "Master Xiao Su, please go back first." Su Shi hesitated and did not leave. Zhao Ce waved his hand and said, "You didn't do anything. Why are you staying here? Let's go quickly." Eunuch De called a young eunuch to send Su Shi off. He left and took Zhao Ce into the imperial study.

Ye Lingxi quietly hid behind the rockery and watched the little eunuch leading Su Shi away. She roughly understood the whole story. It was Zhong Hong who made the rude remarks first. She just didn't expect Zhao Ce to take action. When he was studying in Shangshufang, he always To find fault, I know how to protect my classmates after working together. Yes, there is progress.

When Marquis Ningyang led Zhao Ce out, the latter had his head drooped, like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted.

After a while, Zhong Hong also came out, with a stern look on his face, and he didn't seem to get any benefits. There was a thud, and a small stone hit the back of his head. He groaned, looked around and found no suspicious figure, and left quickly.

Marquis Ningyang led Zhao Ce into the carriage and left the palace.

After the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Ce was stopped by someone as soon as he came down. When he turned around, his expression suddenly became happy. He immediately looked around and found another carriage not far away. Before he could wait, When Ling Dang opened his mouth, he slipped over first. Ling Ding bowed to Marquis Ningyang and left in a hurry. Marquis Ningyang glanced over there and went to the mansion first.

Ye Lingxi lifted the curtain and motioned for him to come up. Zhao Ce felt a little embarrassed and got into the carriage after being reserved for a second.

"Why did Brother Prince hit that Master Zhong?" Ye Lingxi asked straight to the point.

Zhao Ce looked stern, twisted his neck and said, "He deserves to be beaten."

Ye Lingxi snorted, "It really should be beaten."

Zhao Ce looked happy, and suddenly became arrogant again, "I can't stand these hypocrites the most. They are sanctimonious on weekdays, but in fact they are small-minded and vindictive."

Ye Lingxi hummed in agreement, "Is Master Zhong jealous of Brother Su?"

"What does he have to be jealous of?" Zhao Ce habitually found fault. When those big eyes looked at him, he changed his words, "A little bit, Old Man Wen." When those big eyes looked at him, he changed his words again, "Wen Shangshu always praised him for being smart, studious, and diligent. The man named Zhong felt uncomfortable after hearing this and didn't like him very much."

"So Mr. Zhong deliberately gossiped about Sister Su in front of Brother Su, so the Crown Prince took the injustice and punched Mr. Zhong, right?" Ye Lingxi said.

Zhao Ce was stunned for a moment, "How do you know? Did you see it?"

"I guessed it," Ye Lingxi said.

Zhao Ce turned away a little embarrassed, "I just can't stand the nonsense surnamed Zhong, so I tried to teach him a lesson." Ye Lingxi nodded in agreement and asked, "Brother Shizi has not been punished, right?"

Zhao Ce said he was fine, "I'll take it as a holiday when I come back to rest for a few days." Ye Lingxi took the book box next to him and handed it to him, saying, "My brother, the prince, has to read all the books in this." Zhao Ce was about to prepare. Opening it to see what book it was, she said, "Read it when you go back." She emphasized again, "Read it all."

After Zhao Ce returned to his residence with the book box, he opened it and was stunned. He had never seen such a thick book before. One book was worth ten, and he didn't know where he got it. .

On the other side, Ye Lingxi rode a carriage to Shangshu's Mansion. On the way, he was asked to change direction and headed out of the city.

Baohua Temple is on the mountain outside the city. There is a winding path to go up the mountain.

It was almost noon when the carriage stopped outside the gate of Baohua Temple.
