Rebirth of the Anti-Bone
Chapter 22 Buddha Says
"Yueyuanju's income this month is 1 taels. Since we want to open a branch, all the income has been invested in..." Jia Shang is very grateful to his master for giving him the opportunity to display his talents, so he strives to do his best.He also didn't expect that he could really get along like a fish in water. No one under his command dared to question his decision indiscriminately. Even if he had doubts, he would ask them seriously. Jia Shang was very satisfied and worked harder.
Li Xi waved his hand and interrupted Jia Shang, "It goes without saying the specifics, as long as there is money to be made."
Jia Shang smiled wryly, and the master was really straightforward, "Master, Miss Yi's idea is indeed very useful. After her suggestion, the cook we have worked hard to find has been experimented many times, and has mastered the new dishes and recipes. The pastry is made..."
Li Xi waved his hand again, "Talk to her about this, don't tell me that, it's a headache."
Jia Shang was silent, the master didn't care about the important matter of reporting the results, it was obvious that he trusted him to the extreme!Jia Shang secretly decided to do better in the future.
When Li Jingyi heard Li Xi mentioning her, she came out of the inner room openly.She knew that just being Li Xue's playmate was not enough to make Li Xi value her.But anyway, she is also a modern person, and she still understands some modern business knowledge.Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?The people under Li Xi's subordinates are not easy to eat, and often she only needs to propose a center, and someone will complete it for her.
This is very good, it can not only increase her weight in Li Xi's heart, but also make some money.Li Xi was not stingy at all, and she and his subordinates also got a lot of dividends.People need to be content.
Li Jingyi felt that she couldn't see through this cousin, but since the cousin revealed a part of the truth to her, she would not hide it.
Li Jingyi discussed a new strategy with Jia Shang, since there are only Li Xi's people here, no gossip will be spread.
Li Xi yawned lazily.
"Young master, try the lotus root clips newly made by the maidservant, the lotus root in the lotus pond is fresh." Bisi brought the plate, proudly presenting the treasure.
Li Xi ate a piece, and praised greatly, "It tastes good, I'll give some to Xue Er."
"As soon as it's done, I'll send it to someone." Bisi raised the corners of her lips.
"All right, all right, look at your complacent look, how's the master's peony?" Li Xi rolled his eyes.
"Bi Qi is looking at it. It is stored in the greenhouse. It will bloom today."
"Changing clothes for Grandpa, Grandpa will send flowers to the ancestors."
"As ordered."
……
Li Xi hurried into the palace holding the three-color peony he cultivated by himself. The queen mother's favorite flower is the peony.Although he can be spawned immediately, wood-type abilities are very useful, but well, he has no intention of using abilities randomly in this life.In her previous life, she not only brought disaster to the country and the people, but also gained a reputation as a monstrous evildoer.
Stepping into Xining Palace, Li Xi secretly sighed that he was unlucky, he should have come later if he knew earlier.
"I have met the empress dowager, concubine Ning." Li Xi saluted reluctantly.
"Ankang is here, come quickly." The Empress Dowager smiled and beckoned Li Xi to get up and sit beside her.
"Hey, this is Ankang, right? I haven't seen you for a while, and she looks more and more juicy." Concubine Ning smiled coquettishly, covering her small mouth. The queen mother's small banquet only brought the queen there, but she was not qualified, so it was indeed a long time. I haven't seen Richie.
"Concubine Ning is absurdly praised." Li Xi said in a nonchalant and perfunctory manner.
Concubine Ning was not annoyed, she didn't have anything suitable for Li Xi, so she gave Li Xi a bracelet and asked him to take it back for her sister to play with.
"Concubine Xie Ning's reward." Li Xi continued to say with a serious look.
"This little thing." The Queen Mother scolded, "I never stop chattering in front of the old woman, why now that I have an extra elder, I have become a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth." There was no sense of blame in her tone.
"Old Ancestor, Ankang is here to send you something good." Li Xi immediately smiled and offered a flower pot.
"Hey, is this a peony?" The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.
"That's right, ancestor, take a closer look at the color." Li Xi pointed to those half-bloomed flowers.
"Three-color ones!" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, as happy as a child.
"Yes, ancestor, after Ankang will breed four-color, five-color, and eight-color ones, all of which will be given to you, ancestor." Li Xi said with a smile.
The old and the young discussed the maintenance and cultivation of peonies as if no one else was there.
Concubine Ning has always maintained a dignified and decent smile. After so many years of ups and downs in the harem, if she doesn't even have the skills to nourish her energy, she should stop messing around.
By the time the two stopped to drink tea, half an hour had passed.
The queen mother seemed to remember that Concubine Ning was still here, "Concubine Ning, you should go back today, the old lady and Ankang still have a lot to say."
No matter how well-mannered Concubine Ning is, she can't help but get a little distorted. Just ignore her, and she will be driven away as soon as she speaks!
"Empress Dowager, I'm a concubine... I'm a niece." Concubine Ning showed a bit of anxiety, her attitude was very good.
"The old lady is too lazy to take care of the third prince's marriage. The emperor knows in his heart that the old lady doesn't want to get involved in the matter of being a matchmaker." Although the queen mother was still smiling, her tone was already a bit cold.
oh?Li Xi's expression changed, Concubine Ning wanted to tell the third prince about her niece?The Third Prince had Ying'er's marriage announced just now, did anyone immediately follow him?But Concubine Ning is so direct, isn't she afraid that Concubine Shu will make trouble with her?The third prince was not from Concubine Ning.
Sure enough, when Li Xi thought so, Concubine Ning smiled coyly, "It's my concubine's troubles."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xi, "My concubine's younger sister married into the Prince's Mansion of Li County. Speaking of which, Ankang has to be called my concubine's aunt."
Pooh aunt!Li Xi secretly spurned, he finally understood what Concubine Ning was doing here, wasn't it just to block him?The mention of the third prince is just a throw away, her purpose is to bring up the matter of Ning's righting!
Li Xi couldn't remember if Concubine Ning brought up this matter first in his previous life, but at that time he still foolishly regarded Ning as his own mother.Ning Shi showed this intention a little bit, and he happily ran around because of this matter.
In this life, Ning Shi will be a concubine for the rest of her life!
Li Xi made a confused expression on purpose, "Ms. Concubine Ning, Ankang's aunt should be in Jiangzhou now, right? Ankang remembers that there is no lady named Xia in the capital." She was just a concubine, and Concubine Ning wanted to be his aunt up!
Concubine Ning's face was a little stiff, didn't her sister say that Li Xi has always respected her, and Li Xi should be very happy to propose the righting?But she didn't know that this was already the old calendar, and the letter Ning sent her was also vague.How could it be possible for Ning to tell Concubine Ning that Li Xi had broken up with her?Once she can't control Li County Palace, then her value will be gone, and the support from her natal family will be suspended.Without the support of her natal family, it will be even more difficult for her.
Concubine Ning could only laugh and said, "My concubine's younger sister has been married to the Prince of Li County for many years, and she gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters. There is no credit but hard work..."
But Li Xi interrupted her, "Concubine Ning, we all know the credit of Aunt Ning, are you bringing this up specifically to remind Ankang not to neglect Auntie? But Ankang has never neglected Auntie, the county palace The aunt here is also in charge of Zhongfei." Li Xi has an aunt on the left and an aunt on the right, constantly reminding Concubine Ning of her sister's identity, Concubine Ning almost couldn't hold back her smile.
Li Xi really didn't do anything to Ning Shi, she still took good care of Zhongfei, but there were very few places that needed her to take care of.
At the beginning, the Ning family was clamoring to marry into Li County Prince's Mansion.In the end, she did enter the door smoothly with the efforts of Old Concubine Ning and Concubine Ning.
But Li Junwang has a deep affection for Wangfei, if his mother didn't force him, he wouldn't even have a connecting room.This Ning family entered the door, and originally wanted to be a side concubine, but Li Junwang didn't say a word, he was only willing to carry an aunt, otherwise he would not marry.
The dignified daughter of the Ning family is rushing to become a concubine!
If Old Concubine Ning hadn't resorted to tricks, King Li would not have believed that his own mother would have drugged him in the wine, perhaps even the twin siblings Li Jingshu and Li Shaoan would not have existed.
From then on, Prince Li had a complete falling out with Old Concubine Ning, until his death, without touching Ning's finger, let alone raising her status.
Concubine Ning forced a smile, the matter of the Ning family was a big scandal in the Ning family more than ten years ago, most people dare not mention it, but Li Xi would not be considerate of Concubine Ning.
The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch, drank the tea provided by the mother, put down the cup, squinted her eyes and said, "Concubine Ning, if it's not hers, it's not hers. Don't mention this matter again in the future."
The Empress Dowager also opposed this in her previous life, but Li Xi insisted on giving Ning her status.
"Old ancestor." Li Xi knew that the Empress Dowager didn't want him to have multiple direct brothers for no apparent reason, and she was on Li Xi's side.
"Ankang is the most well-behaved, so there is an extra mistress..." Are you causing trouble for Ankang?The queen mother is old-minded, and everything is clear in her heart.Concubine Ning, who was killed out of the former emperor's concubines, was not good enough in front of her.
"Old Ancestor, Concubine Mother!" The cheerful laughter sounded like silver bells, alleviating Concubine Ning's embarrassment.
"Rong Jia is here." The queen mother smiled.
I saw a slender and beautiful figure appearing at the gate of the palace. The girl was wearing a fiery red pleated skirt, a snake bun on her head, and only a few strings of pink pearls. Her palm-sized face was very cute. Very lively and charming.
The third princess from Concubine Ning, Rong Jia!
"Jia'er." Concubine Ning was delighted from the bottom of her heart.
"Rong Jia met the old ancestor, mother and concubine." Rong Jia did not forget to salute generously, and then saw Li Xi who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, pouted her mouth, and stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand, "Mr. The ancestors are so biased, Li Shizi will not talk to Rong Jia when he comes."
The Queen Mother patted her hand, "Okay, okay, the ancestors love you all."
"Hmph." Rong Jiati acted like a baby beside the queen mother, but his eyes flicked across Li Xi, revealing a trace of disgust.She still sees Li Jingshu and Li Shaoan often, and she doesn't have any affection for the eldest son who is said to be stubborn and corrupt by her cousins.I really don't know why the ancestors like him so much?Jealousy flashed across Rong Jia's eyes.
"Princess Rongjia." Li Xi greeted him with a very good attitude.
Rong Jia turned her head, pretending that Li Xi didn't exist.
"Rong Jia, Ankang is talking to you." The queen mother was a little unhappy.
When Rong Jia heard this, she felt a little wronged, and reluctantly returned the gift to Li Xi.
Li Xi doesn't care about Rong Jia, he doesn't pay attention to a 14-year-old girl.
It was silent when someone came in again.Today is really lively, Li Xi couldn't help but support his forehead, it seems that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, how could he see Chu Jinyu again?
The prince stepped into the door first, and then the third prince, fourth prince, fifth prince, and eighth prince, the most favored sons of the emperor, came in one by one.
Then there was another sound of greetings and greetings.
The queen mother wrinkled her face with a smile, "What's the wind blowing today, you all gathered to see the old lady?"
The prince stepped forward immediately, "What are you talking about, old ancestor? Isn't it okay for the grandchildren to come and see you?"
The other princes only exchanged pleasantries with winks, and the prince was the main character.
Li Xi took the time to glance at the third prince who was made to wear a "green hat". Although he was smiling, there was a bit of hostility in the corners of his eyes.No matter who recognized it, the wife who was short of giving the marriage was raped by a pig, and she would not be in a good mood.
But the royal family is the royal family. Although the third prince is not as handsome as the fifth prince, his color is also first-class. If he has not yet mastered the cultivation skills, he will not show anything in front of the queen mother.
As soon as Chu Jinyu entered the door, he found Li Xi's figure. He just frowned calmly, and stopped paying attention to Li Xi.
The princes all knew how favored Li Xi was, so they wouldn't ignore him. After greeting him, they ignored him, and only talked to the Queen Mother.
On the contrary, Chu Jinyun, the youngest Eighth Prince, stared at Li Xi with wide eyes.Chu Jinyun was only eight years old, and he was dressed round and cute.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was talking to her grandson, Li Xi couldn't get in the way, so he just waved and asked Chu Jinyun to come over.
Chu Jinyun swayed to Li Xi's side, looking up at him with a small face.
Li Xi couldn't help pinching his little face, it was fleshy, not much bigger than Xue'er.He grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it in his hand.
"Thank you brother." Chu Jinyun squeezed the candy, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
"Li Shizi and Jin Yun get along very well." The prince smiled and glanced at them.
"Jinyun likes Elder Brother Shizi." Chu Jinyun quickly hid the candy, and then said loudly.
"Little glutton." The queen mother smiled even more happily when she saw it.
Li Xi was very bored, so she was about to say goodbye.
"Ankang, remember to go to Huguo Temple with the old lady in three days." The queen mother agreed to Li Xi, and did not forget to remind him.
"Ankang knows." Li Xi cupped his hands and strode out.
"My lord! My lord, please wait!" A little eunuch was panting after Li Xi, his lord was obviously very fat, how could he walk so fast?He was exhausted.
"What's the matter?" Li Xi asked with narrowed eyes.
"Huh...huh..." The little eunuch panted a few times before saying, "Our master invites the son to come to the imperial garden to have a talk."
"Who is your master?"
"His Royal Highness Fifth Prince."
Chu Jinyu?Li Xi frowned, he was not interested in getting entangled with Chu Jinyu anymore, could it be that that person is so ignorant of himself?Li Xi felt that he had made it clear enough.
"My son knows, let His Highness wait." After Li Xi finished speaking, he walked towards the imperial garden, walked out of the sight of the little eunuch, and immediately turned another corner.Whoever likes to wait can wait, he is not that interested in making a fuss with Chu Jinyu, and he doesn't mind getting along with him.
Li Xi went back to the mansion, but His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince got a message from the little eunuch, and kept blowing the cold wind in the gazebo of the imperial garden all afternoon.
It wasn't until he couldn't help but sneezed a series that he realized he was crazy.What the hell is he doing?Chu Jinyu sneezed and prepared to go home with a livid face.
I also ran into the third prince on the road and was laughed at again.
"Hey, fifth, which beautiful woman are you going to? You can't even bear to wear thick clothes? You're fine if you're cold, but your heart will feel bad if you're cold."
"Third Brother, don't worry about it." Chu Jinyu flicked his sleeves, not paying attention to Chu Jinrong at all.
Chu Jinrong's expression was distorted, and his smile became icy, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Fifth Brother for the great gift. Fifth Brother's move is really wonderful. It's really not like you, who is indifferent to the world, can You can do it. Unexpectedly, among our brothers, you are the one who hides the deepest. You are so noble in front of the father, I really want to peel off your skin and see what it looks like inside." Chu Jinrong Staring at Chu Jinyu's face, it looked like a poisonous snake ready to strike at any time.
Chu Jinyu frowned, feeling a little uneasy, what does Chu Jinrong mean by this?
"My dear fifth younger brother, let's wait and see." Chu Jinrong shook his sleeves and left, but Chu Jinyu was still confused.
However, he soon understood what Chu Jinrong meant.
"You said, three strongholds were destroyed." Chu Jinyu was expressionless, but his heart was full of waves.
Yang Cheng lowered his head deeply, showing shame.He also didn't expect that the three strongholds in their dark place had suffered a devastating blow, and none of the people inside escaped.
"Have you found out who did it?" Chu Jinyu asked calmly.
"It's the third prince." Yang Cheng said without hesitation, "The third prince didn't know where he got the news, and directly arrested all of our people in the name of catching fugitives, and then secretly executed them."
Chu Jinyu naturally understood what Yang Cheng didn't finish.The identities of those people were not visible in the first place, and Chu Jinrong had to kill them if he wanted to.
"Chu Jinrong!" Chu Jinyu squeezed out the name from between his teeth, and landed his fist hard on the table, making a deep fist mark...
The culprit, Li Xi, was leisurely walking birds and fighting cocks.
Ever since Li Xiaosa got Li Xiaosa, Li Xi wanted to train a group of birds.He doesn't like pigeons, but he likes kites.Whether hunting or delivering news, kites are fierce.
It's a pity that the number is too small, and we have to wait for the animal trainer to hatch a few more pairs.If pigeons are used, it is too obvious. Who doesn't know that flying pigeons pass letters?It shot down with one arrow!
Li Xi got bored when he was practicing arrows, and he even shot pigeons that passed by his head, but he just didn't know what message some unlucky guy was going to deliver, I hope it's not too important.
In his previous life, Li Xi also helped Chu Jinyu do a lot of shady things. He didn't know much about his secret power, but he still knew about the hidden stakes he often used.
It was just by copying a few secret orders that Chu Jinyu's people took the initiative to move Chu Jinrong's future wife.Let Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu quarrel, it's not a good thing anyway, if a dog bites a dog, Li Xi is happy to watch the show.
Li Xi knew that losing a few hidden stakes was nothing to Chu Jinyu.However, his ambition was exposed, and he wanted to see how Chu Jinyu, with his arrogance and disdain for high positions, finally watched a few princes fight together to pick up cheap ones by himself.Besides, Chu Jinyu is suspicious by nature. In his previous life, even Li Xi, who wished to give his heart to him, was extremely guarded. This time, the first thing he suspects is that there is a traitor around him, right?
Thinking of Chu Jinyu doubting this and that, and having to entangle with the angry third prince, Li Xi's mood was so good that he even ate a few extra bowls of rice.Thinking of Princess Ronghua and the second son of Uncle Pingyang, no, now that Uncle Pingyang got married as quickly as possible, he feels even better.If he remembered correctly, in his previous life Li Xue was married to Uncle Pingyang's second son by the Ning family as his successor.
He still remembered that when Li Xi heard the news of his sister's death, he was also stunned.Ning clearly stated that Uncle Pingyang's second son's wife died of illness, and he has no sons yet, so Li Xue will enjoy the blessings if he marries.Although he hated his sister for killing his mother, he still hoped that she would live a stable life.
He really didn't expect this result!When he rushed into the mourning hall, lifted the lid of the coffin that had been closed in advance by Uncle Pingyang's mansion, and saw his sister who was scarred and resembling an old woman, he couldn't believe it!
Uncle Pingyang's second son was directly castrated by him in the mourning hall, and his beautiful concubines were also slapped in the face by Li Xitong.A noble son with a good face actually has a habit of abusing his wife!
At that time, Li Xi had suspicions against Chu Jinyu, and he did not give up investigating the truth.When he knew that Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu were not in harmony on the surface, but secretly they were already fighting together, and even when Li Xue's original marriage was intervened by Princess Ronghua, he really wanted to stab himself to death!Blind, blind!So much so that I lost the last dearest family member.
In this life, don't Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu want to "do not live together"?He just let them really be at odds with each other, isn't the hatred of taking his wife enough?
Didn't Ronghua want to marry Xue'er to Uncle Pingyang's second son?Then she can marry herself, presumably the Pingyang uncle's mansion will be very lively in the future.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? You look so happy." Li Xue had Abi coiled around her neck and a big colorful spider in her palm. She looked at Li Xi with her head tilted and blinked don't blink.
The corner of Li Xi's mouth twitched, the contrast between loli and poison should not be too shocking!
But looking at Li Xue's innocent and immature face at this time, compared with the lifeless little face ten years later, of course Li Xi only likes the current one.
"Good boy." Li Xi patted Li Xue's head, "Xue'er can only raise one, already has Abi, Xue'er must be dedicated, understand?"
Li Xue frowned, "But A Cai is so pretty, brother..." Li Xue looked at Li Xi pitifully.
Li Xi's mouth twitched.
"Brother..." There were tears in the corners of Li Xue's eyes, her wet eyes were tender and pitiful.
Richie's shoulders moved.
"Brother...Brother..." Li Xue's voice was a little crying.
Li Xi sighed, complete defeat!
"Forget it, forget it, you can raise it if you want." Li Xi turned his head away, unable to bear to look directly at her.
Li Xue laughed immediately, "Thank you brother, Xueer likes brother the most!"
Li Xi covered her face and waved her hands.
"A Cai, you have to get along well with A Bi in the future, haha..."
"Master, you dote on Miss too much." Bi Qi pointed out with a blank expression.
"Can you refuse such a cute loli?" Li Xi asked seriously.
"If you refuse, you can't refuse..." Biqi murmured, but what the hell is Lori?Could it be another new vocabulary that Ms. Yi said?It seems that she needs to communicate more with Miss Yi, what if she can't understand what the young master said in the future?She is the young master's big girl, she must not fall behind!
……
Three days passed by.
The reason why the Empress Dowager went to Huguo Temple to offer incense was because Master Huiyuan traveled all over the world, and recently came to Huguo Temple, intending to open an altar to practice Dharma.
During this period of time, the Huguo Temple was full of incense, and everyone from the dignitaries to the common people did not want to listen to the master's decree.
No one knows how long Master Huiyuan has lived this year, only that the name of Master Huiyuan has been heard by the older generation since they were young.
Master Huiyuan has known 500 years before and 500 years later. He has seen the sky, measured his life, and he has a wonderful medical skill of rejuvenation. He has saved many lives of the common people.In particular, the calculation of the unprecedented flood 30 years ago allowed the imperial court to prepare in advance and avoid the loss of life.Moreover, he does not seek fame and wealth, but is merciful and helpful to the common people. He is a true master of Taoism, an irreplaceable and inviolable saint in the hearts of the people, and he is in awe of the whole world.
As soon as they heard that Master Huiyuan had settled down in Huguo Temple, everyone became excited.
Today the Empress Dowager did not use her ceremonial guard, but only dressed in ordinary clothes, and the maids and women who guarded her also changed their attire, and the group traveled like ordinary wealthy households.
The juniors all went out with their own elders, but the queen mother thought it was too noisy, and didn't bring many people with her, only Li Xi, Rong Jia and the eighth prince.
Rong Jia and Li Xi were not on the same page, so they only held the Queen Mother's arm and talked to the Queen Mother all the way.Li Xi didn't want to talk to Rong Jia either, but only teased the Eighth Prince.
The Empress Dowager spoke suddenly, and a look of nostalgia flashed across her old face, "Speaking of which, Ankang also met Master Huiyuan when he was young."
Li Xi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't remember."
The queen mother stretched out her hand and compared it to a short length, "You were just full moon at that time, and there was only such a small ball, how could you remember it?"
Li Xi really didn't know about this, no one told him about it.
"Speaking of which, Master Huiyuan touched Ankang's bones at that time and read his fate."
"Oh? What did the master say about Ankang?" Li Xi asked immediately after his heart moved.He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now he is a different kind, and there is a "person" who looks like a spirit behind him.Although I don't fully believe in those now, I still respect them in my heart.
The queen mother smiled, "The master said that you have a rebellious bone in the back of your head, and you will definitely be admitted to the imperial examination in the future. It's just that you are born with a rebellious bone, and you will have a long life. Your father was beaten out with a broom. Your father yelled loudly about where the demon monk came from. He dared to curse his son. His son will definitely be crowned king in the future. Even if he is a little dude, he will give his son a good future. Yes. It was a big joke at the time."
Although the Queen Mother was still smiling, her voice was somewhat sad.
Born rebellious, do you have a bad life?
Li Xi murmured these words and was silent for a long time.
Li Xi didn't know that his father said that, and he really did it. Although he didn't say it to him now, he is Li Xi now, and Li Xi is him.They have merged into one, not separate from each other.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time, Rong Jia was very knowledgeable about current affairs and did not speak, and the Eighth Prince also tightly grasped Li Xi's sleeve.
At this time, the advancing team suddenly stopped.
The queen mother frowned, and ordered the nurse beside her, "Go outside and see what's going on?"
"Your servant obeys." Mammy bowed and hurried out.
Soon, the nanny came back with joy, "Go back to the old lady, it is the little novice from the Huguo Temple who followed Master Huiyuan's words and came down to welcome the distinguished guests."
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, "As expected of Master Huiyuan, he knew we were coming without notifying him."
The queen mother ordered people to take good care of the little novice, and the motorcade quickly accelerated.
"Speaking of which, Ankang may still meet Master Huiyuan's disciple today." The queen mother suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"The master's disciple?"
"That's right," the queen mother asked her to rub her sore shoulders, and smiled teasingly, "When you are full moon, the master comes to your full moon banquet uninvited. They were all very happy. The disciple of the master even hugged you, but what about you?" The queen mother laughed even more exaggeratedly, "Haha, you little fart doll actually pissed on him, ouch, what a big piss! , drenched his robe, fortunately he doesn't mind, otherwise I would have to spank your ass."
"Old ancestor!" Li Xi yelled red-faced, don't talk about these embarrassing things when you were young!Didn't you see that Rong Jia and the eighth prince were covering their mouths and laughing?
"Okay, okay, the old lady will not expose Ankang's shortcomings." The queen mother suppressed a smile and tried to be upright, but her eyes still betrayed her.
But who is Richie?The skin is comparable to a city wall, just laugh when you smile, who didn't have a childhood?Li Xi was just annoyed for a moment and then left it behind, the one who peed all over his body was not the current him.
"That child, he should be fine now." The queen mother suddenly showed a look of pity.
"Who?" Richie asked.
"Master Huiyuan's disciple." The Empress Dowager slowly explained to Li Xi.
It turned out that Master Huiyuan didn't accept disciples easily, even if he wanted to accept disciples, it would depend on fate.
Back then, the late emperor tried his best to recommend the children of the royal family to Master Huiyuan, but the master refused.
Later, when the first emperor passed away, all the princes and concubines crossed the sea, each showing their supernatural powers, fighting for each other, and the capital was in a bloodbath.
At this time, Shang Jieyu, the widowed concubine of the former emperor, who was also the younger sister of the queen mother, gave birth to a son with great difficulty, but her body was damaged in the palace chaos, and she went away, leaving only the youngest son who was congenitally deficient.
The Empress Dowager wiped her tears, and it was really difficult to protect her son and younger sister's youngest son.
Seeing that his sister was about to lose her last bit of flesh and blood, Master Huiyuan floated up and said that the child was destined for him, so he accepted him as a lay disciple.This is a timely rain for the Queen Mother. Not only did it save her sister's flesh and blood, but it also added countless people's hearts to the Queen Mother's line.Even Master Huiyuan supports the Empress Dowager's lineage!
In the end, the emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world, and canonized the younger brother as King Cheng, who is also the national guardian of the Great Chu, with one person under ten thousand.The queen mother began to eat fast and worship Buddha, and lived in temples.
In order not to be disturbed, he even left the nearby Huguo Temple and went to Mount Putuo.
It was the first time that Li Xi heard of such kindness, and was a little stunned.Rong Jia even forgot to breathe, her face flushed from holding back, only the Eighth Prince was still ignorant, not knowing what to say.
The queen mother looked at the performance of the three children and waved her hands, "It's not a big secret, but those who know it are silent."
"Then King Cheng... No, it should be Master Guoshi, how are you doing now?" Li Xi asked cautiously.
The queen mother sighed, "The child doesn't care about those things outside of him. Last time the old lady came back, she just glanced at the old lady and left without seeing anyone. He is not in good health. If Master Huiyuan didn't take care of him , I'm afraid he won't live to be ten years old, so the child should be eighteen now."
This Master Guoshi is really a sick child, a pair of cold eyes flashed in Li Xi's mind again.
The carriage soon arrived at the Huguo Temple, and the little novice led the team to enter through the back door.
Li Xi and the others were sent aside, and the queen mother went to see the master herself.
The eighth prince couldn't stay idle, so he soon asked his nanny and women to play with him, Rong Jia also went to ask for an autograph, and Li Xi placed the order.
After sending away gold treasures and silver treasures, Li Xi was bored, he didn't believe in Tathagata or Buddha, why would he kneel down on those sculptures?Man, all you can ask for is yourself.
There were a lot of people pilgrimage in the front yard, Li Xi thought it was too noisy, so he walked to the back yard after a stroll.
The backyard of Huguo Temple is very remote, few people come here, but it is very quiet.
Li Xi enjoyed the rare tranquility, very leisurely.
Suddenly, wisps of zither sounds could be heard faintly, and the tip of the nose seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
Li Xi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but pursued it.
The winding path led to a secluded place, and it suddenly became clear. Li Xi turned around a bush and saw a person playing the piano under the tall linden tree.The sound of the piano is lingering, and the bodhi flowers are blooming, which is an intoxicating beauty.
Li Xi stood far away, watching the snow-white fingers with clear bones brushing the strings of the zither, and the fairy sound came indistinctly.
Li Xi closed his eyes, the sound of the piano in his ears and the scent of linden flowers in his nose made him very peaceful.
It was just that an incongruous tone sounded suddenly, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, followed by a low coughing sound.
Li Xi frowned, suddenly felt that the coughing sound was very disturbing.
When he opened his eyes, he met a pair of calm and desolate eyes, which seemed to contain nothing but seemed to contain the whole world.
"Would you like tea?" The man looked at Li Xi, smoothed his wide sleeves, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Xi, "This place is rough, so I picked a few bodhi flowers and made a pot of scented tea."
Li Xi heard it, and without being pretentious, he strode forward to the stone bench opposite the man and sat down.
The man put the piano beam aside and poured two cups of tea.
Li Xi admired the beauty's graceful movements with relish, and finally picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, admiring, "Good tree, good water, good scented tea, and a good beauty."
Li Xi really looked like an apprentice, but the beauty who was molested by Li Xi smiled slightly.
Li Xi felt that the laughter reached his ears, making his ears itchy.
The man had had enough laughs, so he refilled another cup of tea for Li Xi, and the two began to savor it carefully.
The atmosphere was very peaceful, so Li Xi and the man didn't talk to each other, enjoying the time silently.
It wasn't until the man couldn't help coughing a few more times that Li Xi realized that a long time had passed.
"Your body is not suitable for blowing outside for a long time, go back quickly." Thinking that the queen mother should come out, Li Xi got up and prepared to go back, so as not to worry the old man.
"Jinheng, Chu Jinheng, the word Yanzhi." The man said suddenly.
"Li Xi, you can also call me Ankang." Li Xi left without looking back.
"Master!" Feng Cheng put on a big mane for the man, "Stop sitting here, go into the room!"
The man coughed a few times again, "No problem." But his eyes kept falling in the direction Li Xi left.
Feng Cheng was almost dying of anxiety, why did the master not cherish his body so much, and still want to sit here and drink tea with that little fat man?That little fat man is more pleasing to the eye, nothing special?
……
"Master, the Empress Dowager has been looking for you for a long time!" The mother next to the Empress Dowager saw Li Xi as if she had seen a savior.
"My son went to sit in the backyard."
Mammy didn't mention this either, "Master Huiyuan wants to see you, so hurry up."
"To see my son?" Li Xi frowned, what did he do to see him?
Before she had time to think deeply, the old mother took Li Xi into a meditation room.
"Amitabha." Master Huiyuan was wearing a blue monk robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a solemn treasure face. When he saw Li Xi, he chanted a Buddha's name.
There were only the two of them left in the meditation room, and Li Xi returned a salute with palms together. Li Xi still respects this master.
"One body and two souls, may I ask where they came from?" Before Li Xi could sit still, Master Hui Yuan gave him a slap in the face.
Li Xi narrowed his eyes and froze, what does the old monk mean by this?The air froze instantly.
As if he didn't feel the murderous aura on Li Xi, Master Huiyuan continued, "Where did you come from, where are you going..."
"The master thinks that this son
Li Xi waved his hand and interrupted Jia Shang, "It goes without saying the specifics, as long as there is money to be made."
Jia Shang smiled wryly, and the master was really straightforward, "Master, Miss Yi's idea is indeed very useful. After her suggestion, the cook we have worked hard to find has been experimented many times, and has mastered the new dishes and recipes. The pastry is made..."
Li Xi waved his hand again, "Talk to her about this, don't tell me that, it's a headache."
Jia Shang was silent, the master didn't care about the important matter of reporting the results, it was obvious that he trusted him to the extreme!Jia Shang secretly decided to do better in the future.
When Li Jingyi heard Li Xi mentioning her, she came out of the inner room openly.She knew that just being Li Xue's playmate was not enough to make Li Xi value her.But anyway, she is also a modern person, and she still understands some modern business knowledge.Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?The people under Li Xi's subordinates are not easy to eat, and often she only needs to propose a center, and someone will complete it for her.
This is very good, it can not only increase her weight in Li Xi's heart, but also make some money.Li Xi was not stingy at all, and she and his subordinates also got a lot of dividends.People need to be content.
Li Jingyi felt that she couldn't see through this cousin, but since the cousin revealed a part of the truth to her, she would not hide it.
Li Jingyi discussed a new strategy with Jia Shang, since there are only Li Xi's people here, no gossip will be spread.
Li Xi yawned lazily.
"Young master, try the lotus root clips newly made by the maidservant, the lotus root in the lotus pond is fresh." Bisi brought the plate, proudly presenting the treasure.
Li Xi ate a piece, and praised greatly, "It tastes good, I'll give some to Xue Er."
"As soon as it's done, I'll send it to someone." Bisi raised the corners of her lips.
"All right, all right, look at your complacent look, how's the master's peony?" Li Xi rolled his eyes.
"Bi Qi is looking at it. It is stored in the greenhouse. It will bloom today."
"Changing clothes for Grandpa, Grandpa will send flowers to the ancestors."
"As ordered."
……
Li Xi hurried into the palace holding the three-color peony he cultivated by himself. The queen mother's favorite flower is the peony.Although he can be spawned immediately, wood-type abilities are very useful, but well, he has no intention of using abilities randomly in this life.In her previous life, she not only brought disaster to the country and the people, but also gained a reputation as a monstrous evildoer.
Stepping into Xining Palace, Li Xi secretly sighed that he was unlucky, he should have come later if he knew earlier.
"I have met the empress dowager, concubine Ning." Li Xi saluted reluctantly.
"Ankang is here, come quickly." The Empress Dowager smiled and beckoned Li Xi to get up and sit beside her.
"Hey, this is Ankang, right? I haven't seen you for a while, and she looks more and more juicy." Concubine Ning smiled coquettishly, covering her small mouth. The queen mother's small banquet only brought the queen there, but she was not qualified, so it was indeed a long time. I haven't seen Richie.
"Concubine Ning is absurdly praised." Li Xi said in a nonchalant and perfunctory manner.
Concubine Ning was not annoyed, she didn't have anything suitable for Li Xi, so she gave Li Xi a bracelet and asked him to take it back for her sister to play with.
"Concubine Xie Ning's reward." Li Xi continued to say with a serious look.
"This little thing." The Queen Mother scolded, "I never stop chattering in front of the old woman, why now that I have an extra elder, I have become a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth." There was no sense of blame in her tone.
"Old Ancestor, Ankang is here to send you something good." Li Xi immediately smiled and offered a flower pot.
"Hey, is this a peony?" The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.
"That's right, ancestor, take a closer look at the color." Li Xi pointed to those half-bloomed flowers.
"Three-color ones!" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, as happy as a child.
"Yes, ancestor, after Ankang will breed four-color, five-color, and eight-color ones, all of which will be given to you, ancestor." Li Xi said with a smile.
The old and the young discussed the maintenance and cultivation of peonies as if no one else was there.
Concubine Ning has always maintained a dignified and decent smile. After so many years of ups and downs in the harem, if she doesn't even have the skills to nourish her energy, she should stop messing around.
By the time the two stopped to drink tea, half an hour had passed.
The queen mother seemed to remember that Concubine Ning was still here, "Concubine Ning, you should go back today, the old lady and Ankang still have a lot to say."
No matter how well-mannered Concubine Ning is, she can't help but get a little distorted. Just ignore her, and she will be driven away as soon as she speaks!
"Empress Dowager, I'm a concubine... I'm a niece." Concubine Ning showed a bit of anxiety, her attitude was very good.
"The old lady is too lazy to take care of the third prince's marriage. The emperor knows in his heart that the old lady doesn't want to get involved in the matter of being a matchmaker." Although the queen mother was still smiling, her tone was already a bit cold.
oh?Li Xi's expression changed, Concubine Ning wanted to tell the third prince about her niece?The Third Prince had Ying'er's marriage announced just now, did anyone immediately follow him?But Concubine Ning is so direct, isn't she afraid that Concubine Shu will make trouble with her?The third prince was not from Concubine Ning.
Sure enough, when Li Xi thought so, Concubine Ning smiled coyly, "It's my concubine's troubles."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xi, "My concubine's younger sister married into the Prince's Mansion of Li County. Speaking of which, Ankang has to be called my concubine's aunt."
Pooh aunt!Li Xi secretly spurned, he finally understood what Concubine Ning was doing here, wasn't it just to block him?The mention of the third prince is just a throw away, her purpose is to bring up the matter of Ning's righting!
Li Xi couldn't remember if Concubine Ning brought up this matter first in his previous life, but at that time he still foolishly regarded Ning as his own mother.Ning Shi showed this intention a little bit, and he happily ran around because of this matter.
In this life, Ning Shi will be a concubine for the rest of her life!
Li Xi made a confused expression on purpose, "Ms. Concubine Ning, Ankang's aunt should be in Jiangzhou now, right? Ankang remembers that there is no lady named Xia in the capital." She was just a concubine, and Concubine Ning wanted to be his aunt up!
Concubine Ning's face was a little stiff, didn't her sister say that Li Xi has always respected her, and Li Xi should be very happy to propose the righting?But she didn't know that this was already the old calendar, and the letter Ning sent her was also vague.How could it be possible for Ning to tell Concubine Ning that Li Xi had broken up with her?Once she can't control Li County Palace, then her value will be gone, and the support from her natal family will be suspended.Without the support of her natal family, it will be even more difficult for her.
Concubine Ning could only laugh and said, "My concubine's younger sister has been married to the Prince of Li County for many years, and she gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters. There is no credit but hard work..."
But Li Xi interrupted her, "Concubine Ning, we all know the credit of Aunt Ning, are you bringing this up specifically to remind Ankang not to neglect Auntie? But Ankang has never neglected Auntie, the county palace The aunt here is also in charge of Zhongfei." Li Xi has an aunt on the left and an aunt on the right, constantly reminding Concubine Ning of her sister's identity, Concubine Ning almost couldn't hold back her smile.
Li Xi really didn't do anything to Ning Shi, she still took good care of Zhongfei, but there were very few places that needed her to take care of.
At the beginning, the Ning family was clamoring to marry into Li County Prince's Mansion.In the end, she did enter the door smoothly with the efforts of Old Concubine Ning and Concubine Ning.
But Li Junwang has a deep affection for Wangfei, if his mother didn't force him, he wouldn't even have a connecting room.This Ning family entered the door, and originally wanted to be a side concubine, but Li Junwang didn't say a word, he was only willing to carry an aunt, otherwise he would not marry.
The dignified daughter of the Ning family is rushing to become a concubine!
If Old Concubine Ning hadn't resorted to tricks, King Li would not have believed that his own mother would have drugged him in the wine, perhaps even the twin siblings Li Jingshu and Li Shaoan would not have existed.
From then on, Prince Li had a complete falling out with Old Concubine Ning, until his death, without touching Ning's finger, let alone raising her status.
Concubine Ning forced a smile, the matter of the Ning family was a big scandal in the Ning family more than ten years ago, most people dare not mention it, but Li Xi would not be considerate of Concubine Ning.
The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch, drank the tea provided by the mother, put down the cup, squinted her eyes and said, "Concubine Ning, if it's not hers, it's not hers. Don't mention this matter again in the future."
The Empress Dowager also opposed this in her previous life, but Li Xi insisted on giving Ning her status.
"Old ancestor." Li Xi knew that the Empress Dowager didn't want him to have multiple direct brothers for no apparent reason, and she was on Li Xi's side.
"Ankang is the most well-behaved, so there is an extra mistress..." Are you causing trouble for Ankang?The queen mother is old-minded, and everything is clear in her heart.Concubine Ning, who was killed out of the former emperor's concubines, was not good enough in front of her.
"Old Ancestor, Concubine Mother!" The cheerful laughter sounded like silver bells, alleviating Concubine Ning's embarrassment.
"Rong Jia is here." The queen mother smiled.
I saw a slender and beautiful figure appearing at the gate of the palace. The girl was wearing a fiery red pleated skirt, a snake bun on her head, and only a few strings of pink pearls. Her palm-sized face was very cute. Very lively and charming.
The third princess from Concubine Ning, Rong Jia!
"Jia'er." Concubine Ning was delighted from the bottom of her heart.
"Rong Jia met the old ancestor, mother and concubine." Rong Jia did not forget to salute generously, and then saw Li Xi who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, pouted her mouth, and stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand, "Mr. The ancestors are so biased, Li Shizi will not talk to Rong Jia when he comes."
The Queen Mother patted her hand, "Okay, okay, the ancestors love you all."
"Hmph." Rong Jiati acted like a baby beside the queen mother, but his eyes flicked across Li Xi, revealing a trace of disgust.She still sees Li Jingshu and Li Shaoan often, and she doesn't have any affection for the eldest son who is said to be stubborn and corrupt by her cousins.I really don't know why the ancestors like him so much?Jealousy flashed across Rong Jia's eyes.
"Princess Rongjia." Li Xi greeted him with a very good attitude.
Rong Jia turned her head, pretending that Li Xi didn't exist.
"Rong Jia, Ankang is talking to you." The queen mother was a little unhappy.
When Rong Jia heard this, she felt a little wronged, and reluctantly returned the gift to Li Xi.
Li Xi doesn't care about Rong Jia, he doesn't pay attention to a 14-year-old girl.
It was silent when someone came in again.Today is really lively, Li Xi couldn't help but support his forehead, it seems that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, how could he see Chu Jinyu again?
The prince stepped into the door first, and then the third prince, fourth prince, fifth prince, and eighth prince, the most favored sons of the emperor, came in one by one.
Then there was another sound of greetings and greetings.
The queen mother wrinkled her face with a smile, "What's the wind blowing today, you all gathered to see the old lady?"
The prince stepped forward immediately, "What are you talking about, old ancestor? Isn't it okay for the grandchildren to come and see you?"
The other princes only exchanged pleasantries with winks, and the prince was the main character.
Li Xi took the time to glance at the third prince who was made to wear a "green hat". Although he was smiling, there was a bit of hostility in the corners of his eyes.No matter who recognized it, the wife who was short of giving the marriage was raped by a pig, and she would not be in a good mood.
But the royal family is the royal family. Although the third prince is not as handsome as the fifth prince, his color is also first-class. If he has not yet mastered the cultivation skills, he will not show anything in front of the queen mother.
As soon as Chu Jinyu entered the door, he found Li Xi's figure. He just frowned calmly, and stopped paying attention to Li Xi.
The princes all knew how favored Li Xi was, so they wouldn't ignore him. After greeting him, they ignored him, and only talked to the Queen Mother.
On the contrary, Chu Jinyun, the youngest Eighth Prince, stared at Li Xi with wide eyes.Chu Jinyun was only eight years old, and he was dressed round and cute.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was talking to her grandson, Li Xi couldn't get in the way, so he just waved and asked Chu Jinyun to come over.
Chu Jinyun swayed to Li Xi's side, looking up at him with a small face.
Li Xi couldn't help pinching his little face, it was fleshy, not much bigger than Xue'er.He grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it in his hand.
"Thank you brother." Chu Jinyun squeezed the candy, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
"Li Shizi and Jin Yun get along very well." The prince smiled and glanced at them.
"Jinyun likes Elder Brother Shizi." Chu Jinyun quickly hid the candy, and then said loudly.
"Little glutton." The queen mother smiled even more happily when she saw it.
Li Xi was very bored, so she was about to say goodbye.
"Ankang, remember to go to Huguo Temple with the old lady in three days." The queen mother agreed to Li Xi, and did not forget to remind him.
"Ankang knows." Li Xi cupped his hands and strode out.
"My lord! My lord, please wait!" A little eunuch was panting after Li Xi, his lord was obviously very fat, how could he walk so fast?He was exhausted.
"What's the matter?" Li Xi asked with narrowed eyes.
"Huh...huh..." The little eunuch panted a few times before saying, "Our master invites the son to come to the imperial garden to have a talk."
"Who is your master?"
"His Royal Highness Fifth Prince."
Chu Jinyu?Li Xi frowned, he was not interested in getting entangled with Chu Jinyu anymore, could it be that that person is so ignorant of himself?Li Xi felt that he had made it clear enough.
"My son knows, let His Highness wait." After Li Xi finished speaking, he walked towards the imperial garden, walked out of the sight of the little eunuch, and immediately turned another corner.Whoever likes to wait can wait, he is not that interested in making a fuss with Chu Jinyu, and he doesn't mind getting along with him.
Li Xi went back to the mansion, but His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince got a message from the little eunuch, and kept blowing the cold wind in the gazebo of the imperial garden all afternoon.
It wasn't until he couldn't help but sneezed a series that he realized he was crazy.What the hell is he doing?Chu Jinyu sneezed and prepared to go home with a livid face.
I also ran into the third prince on the road and was laughed at again.
"Hey, fifth, which beautiful woman are you going to? You can't even bear to wear thick clothes? You're fine if you're cold, but your heart will feel bad if you're cold."
"Third Brother, don't worry about it." Chu Jinyu flicked his sleeves, not paying attention to Chu Jinrong at all.
Chu Jinrong's expression was distorted, and his smile became icy, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Fifth Brother for the great gift. Fifth Brother's move is really wonderful. It's really not like you, who is indifferent to the world, can You can do it. Unexpectedly, among our brothers, you are the one who hides the deepest. You are so noble in front of the father, I really want to peel off your skin and see what it looks like inside." Chu Jinrong Staring at Chu Jinyu's face, it looked like a poisonous snake ready to strike at any time.
Chu Jinyu frowned, feeling a little uneasy, what does Chu Jinrong mean by this?
"My dear fifth younger brother, let's wait and see." Chu Jinrong shook his sleeves and left, but Chu Jinyu was still confused.
However, he soon understood what Chu Jinrong meant.
"You said, three strongholds were destroyed." Chu Jinyu was expressionless, but his heart was full of waves.
Yang Cheng lowered his head deeply, showing shame.He also didn't expect that the three strongholds in their dark place had suffered a devastating blow, and none of the people inside escaped.
"Have you found out who did it?" Chu Jinyu asked calmly.
"It's the third prince." Yang Cheng said without hesitation, "The third prince didn't know where he got the news, and directly arrested all of our people in the name of catching fugitives, and then secretly executed them."
Chu Jinyu naturally understood what Yang Cheng didn't finish.The identities of those people were not visible in the first place, and Chu Jinrong had to kill them if he wanted to.
"Chu Jinrong!" Chu Jinyu squeezed out the name from between his teeth, and landed his fist hard on the table, making a deep fist mark...
The culprit, Li Xi, was leisurely walking birds and fighting cocks.
Ever since Li Xiaosa got Li Xiaosa, Li Xi wanted to train a group of birds.He doesn't like pigeons, but he likes kites.Whether hunting or delivering news, kites are fierce.
It's a pity that the number is too small, and we have to wait for the animal trainer to hatch a few more pairs.If pigeons are used, it is too obvious. Who doesn't know that flying pigeons pass letters?It shot down with one arrow!
Li Xi got bored when he was practicing arrows, and he even shot pigeons that passed by his head, but he just didn't know what message some unlucky guy was going to deliver, I hope it's not too important.
In his previous life, Li Xi also helped Chu Jinyu do a lot of shady things. He didn't know much about his secret power, but he still knew about the hidden stakes he often used.
It was just by copying a few secret orders that Chu Jinyu's people took the initiative to move Chu Jinrong's future wife.Let Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu quarrel, it's not a good thing anyway, if a dog bites a dog, Li Xi is happy to watch the show.
Li Xi knew that losing a few hidden stakes was nothing to Chu Jinyu.However, his ambition was exposed, and he wanted to see how Chu Jinyu, with his arrogance and disdain for high positions, finally watched a few princes fight together to pick up cheap ones by himself.Besides, Chu Jinyu is suspicious by nature. In his previous life, even Li Xi, who wished to give his heart to him, was extremely guarded. This time, the first thing he suspects is that there is a traitor around him, right?
Thinking of Chu Jinyu doubting this and that, and having to entangle with the angry third prince, Li Xi's mood was so good that he even ate a few extra bowls of rice.Thinking of Princess Ronghua and the second son of Uncle Pingyang, no, now that Uncle Pingyang got married as quickly as possible, he feels even better.If he remembered correctly, in his previous life Li Xue was married to Uncle Pingyang's second son by the Ning family as his successor.
He still remembered that when Li Xi heard the news of his sister's death, he was also stunned.Ning clearly stated that Uncle Pingyang's second son's wife died of illness, and he has no sons yet, so Li Xue will enjoy the blessings if he marries.Although he hated his sister for killing his mother, he still hoped that she would live a stable life.
He really didn't expect this result!When he rushed into the mourning hall, lifted the lid of the coffin that had been closed in advance by Uncle Pingyang's mansion, and saw his sister who was scarred and resembling an old woman, he couldn't believe it!
Uncle Pingyang's second son was directly castrated by him in the mourning hall, and his beautiful concubines were also slapped in the face by Li Xitong.A noble son with a good face actually has a habit of abusing his wife!
At that time, Li Xi had suspicions against Chu Jinyu, and he did not give up investigating the truth.When he knew that Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu were not in harmony on the surface, but secretly they were already fighting together, and even when Li Xue's original marriage was intervened by Princess Ronghua, he really wanted to stab himself to death!Blind, blind!So much so that I lost the last dearest family member.
In this life, don't Chu Jinrong and Chu Jinyu want to "do not live together"?He just let them really be at odds with each other, isn't the hatred of taking his wife enough?
Didn't Ronghua want to marry Xue'er to Uncle Pingyang's second son?Then she can marry herself, presumably the Pingyang uncle's mansion will be very lively in the future.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? You look so happy." Li Xue had Abi coiled around her neck and a big colorful spider in her palm. She looked at Li Xi with her head tilted and blinked don't blink.
The corner of Li Xi's mouth twitched, the contrast between loli and poison should not be too shocking!
But looking at Li Xue's innocent and immature face at this time, compared with the lifeless little face ten years later, of course Li Xi only likes the current one.
"Good boy." Li Xi patted Li Xue's head, "Xue'er can only raise one, already has Abi, Xue'er must be dedicated, understand?"
Li Xue frowned, "But A Cai is so pretty, brother..." Li Xue looked at Li Xi pitifully.
Li Xi's mouth twitched.
"Brother..." There were tears in the corners of Li Xue's eyes, her wet eyes were tender and pitiful.
Richie's shoulders moved.
"Brother...Brother..." Li Xue's voice was a little crying.
Li Xi sighed, complete defeat!
"Forget it, forget it, you can raise it if you want." Li Xi turned his head away, unable to bear to look directly at her.
Li Xue laughed immediately, "Thank you brother, Xueer likes brother the most!"
Li Xi covered her face and waved her hands.
"A Cai, you have to get along well with A Bi in the future, haha..."
"Master, you dote on Miss too much." Bi Qi pointed out with a blank expression.
"Can you refuse such a cute loli?" Li Xi asked seriously.
"If you refuse, you can't refuse..." Biqi murmured, but what the hell is Lori?Could it be another new vocabulary that Ms. Yi said?It seems that she needs to communicate more with Miss Yi, what if she can't understand what the young master said in the future?She is the young master's big girl, she must not fall behind!
……
Three days passed by.
The reason why the Empress Dowager went to Huguo Temple to offer incense was because Master Huiyuan traveled all over the world, and recently came to Huguo Temple, intending to open an altar to practice Dharma.
During this period of time, the Huguo Temple was full of incense, and everyone from the dignitaries to the common people did not want to listen to the master's decree.
No one knows how long Master Huiyuan has lived this year, only that the name of Master Huiyuan has been heard by the older generation since they were young.
Master Huiyuan has known 500 years before and 500 years later. He has seen the sky, measured his life, and he has a wonderful medical skill of rejuvenation. He has saved many lives of the common people.In particular, the calculation of the unprecedented flood 30 years ago allowed the imperial court to prepare in advance and avoid the loss of life.Moreover, he does not seek fame and wealth, but is merciful and helpful to the common people. He is a true master of Taoism, an irreplaceable and inviolable saint in the hearts of the people, and he is in awe of the whole world.
As soon as they heard that Master Huiyuan had settled down in Huguo Temple, everyone became excited.
Today the Empress Dowager did not use her ceremonial guard, but only dressed in ordinary clothes, and the maids and women who guarded her also changed their attire, and the group traveled like ordinary wealthy households.
The juniors all went out with their own elders, but the queen mother thought it was too noisy, and didn't bring many people with her, only Li Xi, Rong Jia and the eighth prince.
Rong Jia and Li Xi were not on the same page, so they only held the Queen Mother's arm and talked to the Queen Mother all the way.Li Xi didn't want to talk to Rong Jia either, but only teased the Eighth Prince.
The Empress Dowager spoke suddenly, and a look of nostalgia flashed across her old face, "Speaking of which, Ankang also met Master Huiyuan when he was young."
Li Xi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't remember."
The queen mother stretched out her hand and compared it to a short length, "You were just full moon at that time, and there was only such a small ball, how could you remember it?"
Li Xi really didn't know about this, no one told him about it.
"Speaking of which, Master Huiyuan touched Ankang's bones at that time and read his fate."
"Oh? What did the master say about Ankang?" Li Xi asked immediately after his heart moved.He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now he is a different kind, and there is a "person" who looks like a spirit behind him.Although I don't fully believe in those now, I still respect them in my heart.
The queen mother smiled, "The master said that you have a rebellious bone in the back of your head, and you will definitely be admitted to the imperial examination in the future. It's just that you are born with a rebellious bone, and you will have a long life. Your father was beaten out with a broom. Your father yelled loudly about where the demon monk came from. He dared to curse his son. His son will definitely be crowned king in the future. Even if he is a little dude, he will give his son a good future. Yes. It was a big joke at the time."
Although the Queen Mother was still smiling, her voice was somewhat sad.
Born rebellious, do you have a bad life?
Li Xi murmured these words and was silent for a long time.
Li Xi didn't know that his father said that, and he really did it. Although he didn't say it to him now, he is Li Xi now, and Li Xi is him.They have merged into one, not separate from each other.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time, Rong Jia was very knowledgeable about current affairs and did not speak, and the Eighth Prince also tightly grasped Li Xi's sleeve.
At this time, the advancing team suddenly stopped.
The queen mother frowned, and ordered the nurse beside her, "Go outside and see what's going on?"
"Your servant obeys." Mammy bowed and hurried out.
Soon, the nanny came back with joy, "Go back to the old lady, it is the little novice from the Huguo Temple who followed Master Huiyuan's words and came down to welcome the distinguished guests."
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, "As expected of Master Huiyuan, he knew we were coming without notifying him."
The queen mother ordered people to take good care of the little novice, and the motorcade quickly accelerated.
"Speaking of which, Ankang may still meet Master Huiyuan's disciple today." The queen mother suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"The master's disciple?"
"That's right," the queen mother asked her to rub her sore shoulders, and smiled teasingly, "When you are full moon, the master comes to your full moon banquet uninvited. They were all very happy. The disciple of the master even hugged you, but what about you?" The queen mother laughed even more exaggeratedly, "Haha, you little fart doll actually pissed on him, ouch, what a big piss! , drenched his robe, fortunately he doesn't mind, otherwise I would have to spank your ass."
"Old ancestor!" Li Xi yelled red-faced, don't talk about these embarrassing things when you were young!Didn't you see that Rong Jia and the eighth prince were covering their mouths and laughing?
"Okay, okay, the old lady will not expose Ankang's shortcomings." The queen mother suppressed a smile and tried to be upright, but her eyes still betrayed her.
But who is Richie?The skin is comparable to a city wall, just laugh when you smile, who didn't have a childhood?Li Xi was just annoyed for a moment and then left it behind, the one who peed all over his body was not the current him.
"That child, he should be fine now." The queen mother suddenly showed a look of pity.
"Who?" Richie asked.
"Master Huiyuan's disciple." The Empress Dowager slowly explained to Li Xi.
It turned out that Master Huiyuan didn't accept disciples easily, even if he wanted to accept disciples, it would depend on fate.
Back then, the late emperor tried his best to recommend the children of the royal family to Master Huiyuan, but the master refused.
Later, when the first emperor passed away, all the princes and concubines crossed the sea, each showing their supernatural powers, fighting for each other, and the capital was in a bloodbath.
At this time, Shang Jieyu, the widowed concubine of the former emperor, who was also the younger sister of the queen mother, gave birth to a son with great difficulty, but her body was damaged in the palace chaos, and she went away, leaving only the youngest son who was congenitally deficient.
The Empress Dowager wiped her tears, and it was really difficult to protect her son and younger sister's youngest son.
Seeing that his sister was about to lose her last bit of flesh and blood, Master Huiyuan floated up and said that the child was destined for him, so he accepted him as a lay disciple.This is a timely rain for the Queen Mother. Not only did it save her sister's flesh and blood, but it also added countless people's hearts to the Queen Mother's line.Even Master Huiyuan supports the Empress Dowager's lineage!
In the end, the emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world, and canonized the younger brother as King Cheng, who is also the national guardian of the Great Chu, with one person under ten thousand.The queen mother began to eat fast and worship Buddha, and lived in temples.
In order not to be disturbed, he even left the nearby Huguo Temple and went to Mount Putuo.
It was the first time that Li Xi heard of such kindness, and was a little stunned.Rong Jia even forgot to breathe, her face flushed from holding back, only the Eighth Prince was still ignorant, not knowing what to say.
The queen mother looked at the performance of the three children and waved her hands, "It's not a big secret, but those who know it are silent."
"Then King Cheng... No, it should be Master Guoshi, how are you doing now?" Li Xi asked cautiously.
The queen mother sighed, "The child doesn't care about those things outside of him. Last time the old lady came back, she just glanced at the old lady and left without seeing anyone. He is not in good health. If Master Huiyuan didn't take care of him , I'm afraid he won't live to be ten years old, so the child should be eighteen now."
This Master Guoshi is really a sick child, a pair of cold eyes flashed in Li Xi's mind again.
The carriage soon arrived at the Huguo Temple, and the little novice led the team to enter through the back door.
Li Xi and the others were sent aside, and the queen mother went to see the master herself.
The eighth prince couldn't stay idle, so he soon asked his nanny and women to play with him, Rong Jia also went to ask for an autograph, and Li Xi placed the order.
After sending away gold treasures and silver treasures, Li Xi was bored, he didn't believe in Tathagata or Buddha, why would he kneel down on those sculptures?Man, all you can ask for is yourself.
There were a lot of people pilgrimage in the front yard, Li Xi thought it was too noisy, so he walked to the back yard after a stroll.
The backyard of Huguo Temple is very remote, few people come here, but it is very quiet.
Li Xi enjoyed the rare tranquility, very leisurely.
Suddenly, wisps of zither sounds could be heard faintly, and the tip of the nose seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
Li Xi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but pursued it.
The winding path led to a secluded place, and it suddenly became clear. Li Xi turned around a bush and saw a person playing the piano under the tall linden tree.The sound of the piano is lingering, and the bodhi flowers are blooming, which is an intoxicating beauty.
Li Xi stood far away, watching the snow-white fingers with clear bones brushing the strings of the zither, and the fairy sound came indistinctly.
Li Xi closed his eyes, the sound of the piano in his ears and the scent of linden flowers in his nose made him very peaceful.
It was just that an incongruous tone sounded suddenly, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, followed by a low coughing sound.
Li Xi frowned, suddenly felt that the coughing sound was very disturbing.
When he opened his eyes, he met a pair of calm and desolate eyes, which seemed to contain nothing but seemed to contain the whole world.
"Would you like tea?" The man looked at Li Xi, smoothed his wide sleeves, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Xi, "This place is rough, so I picked a few bodhi flowers and made a pot of scented tea."
Li Xi heard it, and without being pretentious, he strode forward to the stone bench opposite the man and sat down.
The man put the piano beam aside and poured two cups of tea.
Li Xi admired the beauty's graceful movements with relish, and finally picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, admiring, "Good tree, good water, good scented tea, and a good beauty."
Li Xi really looked like an apprentice, but the beauty who was molested by Li Xi smiled slightly.
Li Xi felt that the laughter reached his ears, making his ears itchy.
The man had had enough laughs, so he refilled another cup of tea for Li Xi, and the two began to savor it carefully.
The atmosphere was very peaceful, so Li Xi and the man didn't talk to each other, enjoying the time silently.
It wasn't until the man couldn't help coughing a few more times that Li Xi realized that a long time had passed.
"Your body is not suitable for blowing outside for a long time, go back quickly." Thinking that the queen mother should come out, Li Xi got up and prepared to go back, so as not to worry the old man.
"Jinheng, Chu Jinheng, the word Yanzhi." The man said suddenly.
"Li Xi, you can also call me Ankang." Li Xi left without looking back.
"Master!" Feng Cheng put on a big mane for the man, "Stop sitting here, go into the room!"
The man coughed a few times again, "No problem." But his eyes kept falling in the direction Li Xi left.
Feng Cheng was almost dying of anxiety, why did the master not cherish his body so much, and still want to sit here and drink tea with that little fat man?That little fat man is more pleasing to the eye, nothing special?
……
"Master, the Empress Dowager has been looking for you for a long time!" The mother next to the Empress Dowager saw Li Xi as if she had seen a savior.
"My son went to sit in the backyard."
Mammy didn't mention this either, "Master Huiyuan wants to see you, so hurry up."
"To see my son?" Li Xi frowned, what did he do to see him?
Before she had time to think deeply, the old mother took Li Xi into a meditation room.
"Amitabha." Master Huiyuan was wearing a blue monk robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a solemn treasure face. When he saw Li Xi, he chanted a Buddha's name.
There were only the two of them left in the meditation room, and Li Xi returned a salute with palms together. Li Xi still respects this master.
"One body and two souls, may I ask where they came from?" Before Li Xi could sit still, Master Hui Yuan gave him a slap in the face.
Li Xi narrowed his eyes and froze, what does the old monk mean by this?The air froze instantly.
As if he didn't feel the murderous aura on Li Xi, Master Huiyuan continued, "Where did you come from, where are you going..."
"The master thinks that this son
