After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "They are all tonics. These are all dried medicinal materials. You should know some of them."

"Forged Dragon Bone, Morinda officinalis, Seahorse, you should know this tiger stick." Lin Xiangzhi picked up a long thing like a dry stick.

"What is a tiger stick?"

Xiao Jingzhao wondered how this guy could give him tonics. He was fine, so he didn't need to take any tonics.

"Master, I understand that this is a tiger whip. It is a great aphrodisiac, but it is hard to find."

As if his hands were burned by fire, Xiao Jingzhao let go and closed the wooden box.

Xiang Yang held back his laughter and said with great discernment: "These are some precious medicinal materials. I will take them to the warehouse."

Xiang Yang raised a dagger in his hand and shook it, "Thank you Mr. Lin. This dagger is very sharp. I like it very much."

"We are our own family, you're welcome, just like it. You and Xiang Song are both good for self-defense." Lin Xiangzhi smiled and waved his hand.

Xiao Jingzhao turned around and said to Lin Xiangzhi: "You think I am seventy or eighty years old, and I have given you tonic."

Seeing Xiang Yang carrying the wooden box out, Lin Xiangzhi said seriously: "Jing Zhao, you are the eldest son, and it is inevitable that you will have three wives and four concubines in the future. Well, I can't help you. I can only give you these supplements to help you." You should try your best to get even rain and dew in your backyard.”

Xiao Jingzhao: "..." I thank you.

Xiao Jingzhao couldn't blame his friend for bringing things back for him from such a far away place.

That handsome face turned red and black, dark and red again.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.

Fortunately, the boy and several maids brought the food in time to break the weird atmosphere.

After a cup of peach blossoms, Lin Xiangzhi started talking.

The customs and customs of Nanzhao Kingdom, what are its special products, and what rumors about the royal family there have among the people.

Lin Xiangzhi was really hungry. After he and Xiao Jingzhao drank a glass of wine, they ate vegetables.

"Eat slowly, so as not to upset your stomach again later."

Every time Lin Xiangzhi came back from a trip, he said that he couldn't eat on time when he was out. Sometimes he would go to a place without a village or a shop and just eat dry food to satisfy his hunger.

Xiao Jingzhao served him a bowl of white jade black chicken soup.

He looked at his best friend's handsome cheeks, which were a little darker than before.

Xiao Jingzhao picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "This time when you come back from Liangguo, don't run out all the time. Come with me to the capital. You are not bad at reading and are good at managing money. As long as I can sit on that position, you will be in charge of the treasury for me.”

Lin Xianzhi took the soup and drank it in one gulp, "Looking at you as a big cake painter, the prince is still young, so I'm afraid it's not your turn to take the position."

"My father said that my mother-in-law would definitely not let him sit in that position, and he didn't want to worry about it. My eldest brother has no intention of doing this, so I can only work hard for myself."

Prime Minister Lin understood.

The prince promised the princess not to take concubines for life. If she takes that position, she will inevitably have a harem of three thousand beauties. This important task can only be shouldered by the prince.

Lin Xiangzhi took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely: "It seems I sent it right."

"As long as you think it's good, I'm worried that you won't go to the capital with me." Xiao Jingzhao didn't understand what Lin Xiangzhi said and thought he was happy to go to the capital.

Lin Xiangzhi ate half full in one breath. At this moment, Xiang Yang also came back. He picked up the wine jar and filled a glass of wine for his master and Mr. Lin.

"Did you know, Jingzhao? The most favored concubine of the Liang royal family is the princess of Nanzhao."

Xiao Jingzhao looked indifferently, picked up the wine glass and raised it slightly to signal Lin Xiangzhi to raise the glass.

"The marriage between the two countries is not limited to Liang and Nanzhao. During the period of Emperor Renzong, Liang also sent his princess to Wanling for marriage after losing the war."

Lin Xiangzhi raised his glass and took a sip of peach blossom wine, and said with a gossipy face: "That's different. I heard that the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom was so powerful that she killed the legitimate prince born to Queen Liang Kingdom alive."

"The Emperor of Liang will not punish her?" This is the first time Xiao Jingzhao has heard of such a shocking story of palace fighting.

Lin Xianzhi spread his hands, "Liang Guohuang has no evidence. Some people say that the young prince is living in Wanling Kingdom. Some people say that Princess Nanzhao sent people to kidnap the prince during the chaos. In short, there is anything."

Xiao Jingzhao smiled and said, "You are almost catching up with the storyteller. How can a prince of a country be lost so easily?"

"I also heard someone talk about it in a wine shop on the border of Nanzhao. As for whether it is true, I will find out more carefully when I go to Liang State to buy food this time."

Seeing Lin Xianzhi gossiping like a girl, Xiao Jingzhao couldn't help but tease him: "If the prince of Liang is really in Wanling, I will dig three feet under the ground to find him."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and admires me. If the legitimate prince of the Liang Kingdom really wanders to Wanling and we find him, the relationship between the Liang Kingdom and Wanling will be extraordinary. In the future, the two countries will have good relations and avoid wars." bitter."

Looking at Lin Xiangzhi's serious look, Xiao Jingzhao couldn't even tell that it was just a joke.

After drinking and eating, the two chatted for a long time. It was not until night fell and drizzle began to fall in the sky that Lin Xiangzhi stood up to say goodbye.

Xiao Jingzhao personally escorted him out of the palace. Before getting on the carriage, Xiao Jingzhao told him, "You can rest at home for a few more days before setting off."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be ready to set off in three days at most."

Lin Xiangzhi walked up to the carriage and turned around and waved, "Take care, see you later."

After sending Lin Xianzhi away, Xiao Jingzhao quickly returned to the study to take stock of the things swept away by the wind.

It doesn't matter if it's clear, there's one missing portrait in it, and it's still the one of a person smiling the happiest in Suisui.

He asked Xiang Yang to call the secret guards, and a group of people searched the yard and even the treetops, but there was still no trace of the portrait.

Three days later, Lin Xianzhi quietly left Laiyang City for Liang State with a group of troops.

Xiao Jingzhao received news that several counties in Wanling Kingdom had suffered a once-in-a-century flood.

Due to the precautionary notices from Yannan, when heavy rain hit, people retreated to higher ground. Farmland was washed away and poultry was flooded. Fortunately, the casualties were not serious.

There was only light rain in Yannan, and the people were not hit by the heavy rain.

Xiao Jingzhao arranged for secret guards to guard the palace, and took Xiang Yang and Xiang Song to the military camp to deploy the next plan.

In the palace.

Xiao Yun was fascinated by a portrait.

She pouted and muttered to herself: "It's so strange. Why did this painting fall from the sky? Is this what I looked like when I was a child? Why does it look like a boy?"

Xiao Yun's personal maid Jing'er tilted her head and shook her head and said, "I think this is a portrait of the prince when he was a child."

"It makes sense. This portrait should have floated out of the second brother's courtyard."

Three days ago, Xiao Yun was craving for flower cakes and took her maid to the garden to pick flowers. Unexpectedly, a piece of paper fell from the sky and landed squarely on her head.

On the other side of the garden is the second brother's Qinghui Courtyard.

"Miss, the princess asked you to practice painting. I think it is easier to draw a child's portrait than to copy the young master's landscape painting. Why don't you try to copy this painting?"

Xiao Yun gave Jing'er a thumbs up, "What a good idea. I'll show it to my mother and concubine after I draw it decently."
