The most powerful minister in the world

Jingxi picked up a bunch of grapes from the small square table and said to Li Dongyang, "Escort her back."

Li Dongyang held his sword and nodded, then walked to Liu Ningmei and stopped.

"Ahem~ If you come back too late, I won't leave the door open for you."

Jing Xi, who followed the steward of the palace down the stone staircase, smiled when he heard the sound. When he arrived at the bottom of the city wall, he saw Xi Shi leaning on the carriage, staring at a piece of bluestone bricks at his feet.

"Uncle Xishi, did you already know that my sister was coming to Jiangnan?" Jingxi asked cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Xushi not only did not answer, but in a blink of an eye, she grabbed Jingxi by the collar and threw him into the carriage. Seeing this, the steward also jumped up and ordered the coachman to drive.

In the car, Xi Shi held his sword and closed his eyes to rest, while Jing Xi and the old steward sat opposite each other.

The grapes in his hand were decreasing one by one, which made the old steward laugh and said: "Second Young Master, I have heard about many fruits for a long time, but you still love grapes. What I saw today is true."

This old steward, dressed in a low-key and luxurious double-breasted gown, exudes a gentle and free feeling in his every move. His magnetic voice and decent words make it difficult for people to feel the slightest dislike to him.

Looking at the solemn joy between his brows, although he is over fifty years old, the ferocious years do not seem to have left any traces on his face.

From the look in his eyes that he inadvertently revealed, Jingxi always felt that something was wrong, causing goosebumps to rise on his arms.

The bunch of grapes was quickly finished, and Jingxi threw the grape branches out of the car, leaving no place to wipe the water droplets on his hands.

At this time, the old steward took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over. Jingxi was stunned for a while and took it.

He intervened and asked with a smile: "You still don't know what to call me?"

The old steward cupped his hands and said: "Old Geng Yiyi, speaking of which, when the second young master was young, I still..."

In the middle of what Steward Geng was saying, he was interrupted sharply by Xi Shi, who had long been impatient: "Why do the people in Prince Annan's Palace talk so much!"

In this way, there was silence all the way until the carriage stopped in front of the tall gate of Annan Palace, and then Manager Geng bowed and invited the two of them off.

As soon as Jingxi's feet landed on the ground, he felt an indescribable fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and then heard the sultry soft voice: "Second Young Master, we meet again."

Jingxi stood with one hand behind his back and the other in front of him. Danfeng looked at this woman with sharp eyebrows in his eyes.

"Let's get acquainted again. Princess Yun Yingshu of Annan Palace has met the second young master."

Jingxi rubbed her chin and walked around her. During this period, Yun Yingshu gave him a charming look.

"Tsk, tsk, when we met that day, you delivered the message as Zhao Yingying's maid. When we meet again today, although you are the leader of the group, the slut in your body has not diminished at all."

Faced with Jingxi's teasing, Yun Yingshu not only wasn't annoyed, but moved closer to Jingxi, rubbing her sideways against him.

"When a man calls a woman coquettish, I think it's a compliment. Second Young Master, I compare with Liu Ningmei. How mature and beautiful are you?"

Jingxi stepped aside and said with a smile: "How can I compare with the group leader? Your whole family is so arrogant."

Yun Yingshu covered her mouth and smiled: "You are the first one who dares to tease me like this at the gate of Prince Annan's Mansion~"

"Hmm~ Then I'm really flattered. You invited me here and you didn't ask me to stand here, right?"

Yun Yingshu rolled her eyes, punched Jingxi on the chest and said resentfully, "I want to talk to you more, can't I?"

The two big red lanterns on the gate of Prince Annan's Mansion swayed left and right in mid-air like two ghost eyes.

Jingxi just felt a headache. This woman made him feel very, very uncomfortable. At this moment, Xi Shi frowned coldly and stamped her foot, and a wave of air spread from all around.

"Hey~ You, the ninth one on the sword list, are here too~ I'm so rude, little girl."

Xushi said coldly: "I am here to pay a visit to the prince on behalf of my young lady. Please lead the way, princess."

Yun Yingshu squatted in salute and clapped her hands. The two tall gates opened and two rows of maids holding lamps walked out from the left and right.

"Please~"

Along the way, Jingxi stayed close to Xushi, but his eyes were searching around. Apart from being extremely extravagant, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"What are you looking for blindly? Concentrate on walking." Xi Shi said.

"Oh~"

When they entered the third courtyard, two swordsmen at the door reached out to stop Xi Shi and said, "When you meet the prince, you are not allowed to enter the courtyard with sharp weapons."

Hearing this, Xi Shi frowned slightly and raised the sword energy all over his body. Jing Xi laughed, walked to the door and said loudly on purpose: "Then take mine first."

"Look, I usually offend a lot of people, and I carry a lot of them with me. Look, the silver needle on the top of my head is very cold. Look at this dagger. It was the one that captured a former Che General of Chen State. ,Again......."

Jingxi was enjoying himself when he heard a voice like a bell coming from the octagonal red tiled hall: "Come in, we are about to reach the crown, and we are still so careless."

Jingxi turned and raised an eyebrow at Xushi, who ignored him and walked straight into the hall.

"Hey~ It doesn't seem to be popular~" Yun Yingshu teased from behind.

He patted his butt and walked into the hall. His vision suddenly brightened up. The candlesticks like peacocks spreading their wings illuminated the hall like daylight on the left and right sides of the couch.

Looking inside the palace, with carved beams and painted pillars, ceramic antiques on display, and a dark golden overall layout, it is quite solemn.

Xushi had already sat down on the right side, and King Annan was sitting cross-legged on the couch, with a slight smile on his pitted face.

Jingxi stepped forward and bowed: "Jingxi from the Southern Xinjiang Martial Palace has met the prince."

King Annan said: "Why are you so angry? You won't suffer any loss if you call me Uncle Shi."

"Uncle Shi."

"Well~ sit down."

Jingxi sat down, and Yun Yingshu sat down next to him like a dog-skin plaster.

"Have you had your meal?"

"After eating, I was watching the night view on the city wall when Uncle Shi called me over."

Annan Wang Yunjie quickly ordered: "Take two bowls of sand ginger tea."

"Although it's already spring, the cool night breeze is still biting. Don't think you're young and don't take it seriously. When you get to my age, you'll regret it later."

"What Uncle Shi taught you~"

King Annan twirled his beard with his scarred hand and watched Jingxi becoming more and more fascinated. Jingxi also generously let him watch. Why didn't he want to see what kind of medicine the old fox was selling in his gourd.

"Well, you can follow your mother's eyebrows."

"Uncle Shi, can you meet my mother?"

Yun Jie sighed and raised his head as if reminiscing about the past: "In those days, your mother was the most powerful in Beijing. I naturally recognize her. It's an old story, so I won't mention it, so as not to upset you."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your understanding."

"How is your father?"

Jingxi raised his eyebrows and wondered: What on earth does this old fox want to do? Could it be that he is here to check the family tree? Why should he ask questions from beginning to end?

Huh, I'm not in a hurry anyway, young master. I don't believe that the fathers of those dandy boys I captured won't come to you to see who can keep calm.

Jingxi's wishful thinking was wrong. Half an hour had passed, and Yun Jie was still talking about random things, but didn't mention anything serious.

Sometimes Jingxi deliberately dropped the words to him, but he passed them by, always putting himself in the position of a leisurely and retired prince.

"I should have come to visit Uncle Shi a long time ago, but since I came to Jiangnan, I have been entangled in official business and can't escape. It's really rude to bother Uncle Shi tonight."

"Haha~ Even if you handed over the invitation a few days ago, you still can't see me. I also just came back from the Hangzhou Wetland. At this time, the lotus flowers are growing vigorously. It couldn't be better to see them. You should also go and see them when you have time. look."

"Hey~ When you go, ask me to come with you." Yun Yingshu patted Jingxi on the shoulder and interjected.
