Jiaochu

"Just tell me what I asked you." Princess Pingnan looked over, and King Pingnan immediately replied, "I feel much better." He wanted to sit up and stretch his muscles, but Princess Pingnan pressed his forehead and stopped moving. He didn't dare to move, so he could only glance towards Yanjiang with his eyes, "Brother Yan, why are you here?"

Yanjiang replied: "Your Majesty heard that you, your Majesty, the Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Princess are all here. He was afraid that something might happen on the road, so he asked me to come and take care of you."

"What medicine did your father take just now?" Meng Jingxiu asked curiously.

Yanjiang replied: "That is a miraculous elixir. It is called a resurrecting elixir. There is only one in the world." After saying this, he smiled and said proudly, "It is my wife's dowry~"

Hearing the word dowry, Yanfei looked slightly surprised. He had previously thought that his third uncle had tricked some magic doctor into it, but he didn't expect that it was his third sister-in-law's dowry.

Two years ago, Yanjiang and Xiniang got married. At that time, Ye Lingxi was still practicing the art of immortality in seclusion with Shangguan Yuan, and had no idea what was happening outside. After learning the good news, he immediately left the palace to congratulate her.

After they got married, they still lived in the small house, raising chickens and vegetables, chopping firewood and carrying water, and living peacefully.

General Yan has been there occasionally in the past two years, and sometimes he stays there to have dinner and comes back.

This resurrection pill was given to Yanjiang by Xiniang on the day of their wedding, so that he could have a life-saving amulet. This time Yanfei went on a mission alone, and Yanjiang gave it to Yanfei. Xiniang didn't care after knowing it.

"Brother Yan, are you married?!" King Pingnan was so surprised that his eyes widened when he heard the word dowry. "When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Do you want to come and see if the bride looks good?" Princess Pingnan said.

King Pingnan immediately shook his head.

"May I ask General, is your wife a doctor?" Meng Tianlan asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions? I—" Princess Pingnan coughed lightly, and King Pingnan changed her title to a more elegant one, "My father asked you if you want to find a doctor. Okay, I'll find one for you when I get back. Get married this year and have grandchildren next year."

Meng Tianlan said nothing.

Meng Jingxiu looked at her elder brother with sympathy and a bit of schadenfreude, and the next moment she couldn't laugh anymore.

King Pingnan wanted Yanfei to be his son-in-law, and Meng Jingxiu blurted out in desperation, "No, what brother Yanfei likes is San-" Before the last two words of princess could be said, Princess Pingnan coughed lightly, and she stopped. .

At dawn, the group set out on the road again.

King Pingnan wanted to ride a horse, but Princess Pingnan glared at him and sat on the carriage obediently.

On the way, Yanjiang told Yanfei that he had met Ye Lingxi two days ago. Yanfei's face turned red, and he acted too casually, a bit like "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".

"The third princess also asked me, when will you go back?" Yan Jiang said.

Yan Fei's face turned a little red again.

"The bracelet on the third princess's hand is so beautiful. Why do I seem to have seen it somewhere?" Yan Jiang said.

When Yan Fei heard about wearing the bracelet, he unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth. Yan Jiang Bagua looked over at him, and he turned his head to look at the scenery along the way.

Two days later, the group arrived in the capital.

They happened to meet the carriages and horses of King Zhenbei and his entourage at the gate of the city.

This time, King Zhenbei also came with his family. Murong Min and Rong Xian rode in the same carriage, and Murong Ze was in the latter carriage.

Seeing King Pingnan sitting in the carriage this time, King Zhenbei greeted him. King Pingnan snorted and ignored him, and King Zhenbei left. "It must be this old loach's fault!" King Pingnan crossed his arms and his face turned dark.

Princess Pingnan said: "If there is no evidence, just keep calm."

King Pingnan stopped talking.

Meng Jingxiu changed the subject and talked about the third princess Ye Lingxi and the fourth prince Ye Jinnian, and prepared generous gifts for both siblings.

It was already an hour later when Princess Pingnan took Meng Jingxiu to visit Weiyang Palace.

Princess Pingnan prepared a golden unicorn for the fourth prince, Ye Jinnian. Princess Lan thanked her and asked Zhuer to take the gift and put it away. Meng Jingxiu couldn't wait to see Xiao Jinnian, so Ye Lingxi took her there.

Seeing Xiao Jinnian sleeping soundly in the cradle, Meng Jingxiu couldn't help but want to stretch out her hand and poke the white and waxy little face. Ye Lingxi gave a demonstration first, and her movements were quite skillful. It seemed that she often poked her face, and Meng Jingxiu also poked her face very lightly.

The two of them made eye contact next to the cradle, for fear of waking them up.

Reunited after a long absence, both of them had a lot to say in private, so Meng Jingxiu stayed for one night.

At night, the two slept in the same bed. Ye Lingxi first asked her what was going on with her third brother. Meng Jingxiu hesitated to cover it up, and then asked her what progress she had made with Yan Fei. Ye Lingxi also blushed to cover it up.

Meng Jingxiu told Ye Lingxi about the assassin she met on the road, but she was still scared when her father was dying.

Ye Lingxi was a little surprised when she heard that the resurrection pill was Xi Niang's dowry, but she had thought before that Xi Niang's master must be a worldly master, and now she was even more convinced.

After breakfast the next day, when Ye Lingxi saw Meng Jingxiu off, she met Jingzhe at the door.

Ye Lingxi recognized the expressionless face at a glance. It had not changed much from before, except that he had grown taller. Meng Jingxiu didn't recognize who it was and thought it was a palace guard.

At this time someone came over again, it was Xiaoluzi.

"His Royal Highness is taming falcons over at the martial arts training ground. Princess, if you have time, you might as well go and take a look."

Ye Lingxi knew that this was meant for others, so he said, "Sister Jing'er is free. Sister Jing'er, please go take a look."

Meng Jingxiu blushed slightly and followed Xiaoluzi.

After Jingzhe handed the box she was holding to Ye Lingxi, she was stopped when she was about to leave. She asked, "Is brother Murong's leg healed?" Jingzhe shook her head and left.

Still don’t know how to eat the beads? she said to herself.

After returning to the house, she opened the box and found a flower inside. She felt a little confused. She wondered why she was given a flower to praise her beauty. She looked at the flower again and found it was a purple hibiscus. Flowers are even more puzzling. I wonder if this is some code word. Hibiscus hibiscus is related to wood?

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it became. She closed the box and stopped thinking about it. Her eyes fell on the bracelet on her wrist. She gently rubbed the jade bracelet with her fingers, closed her eyes and thought for a while.

He He walked in and said, "Princess, Princess Beining is here."

Murong Min and Rong Xian came over to congratulate Concubine Lan and gave them very generous gifts. They sat for a while and then left. When the two left, Ye Lingxi felt that Murong Min was staring at her, and he probably still held a grudge.

In the afternoon, congratulatory gifts from various vassal kings were delivered one after another.

The gift sent by King Jin Liu Jin is not inconspicuous among the many magnificent gifts, but it is the most practical. It is a set of four treasures of the study.
