Empress is a sick beauty

Ling Xi followed Yun Yi to the outer hall, and sure enough, he saw that the person sitting there waiting for someone was his elder brother.Shen Rui saw Ling Xi at a glance, got up abruptly, rushed to Ling Xi in three steps at a time, and looked him up and down several times.

"It's all for my brother's fault. I shouldn't have left your side. Why is the sleeve torn? Is there any injury? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Seeing Shen Rui's eagerness, Ling Xi hurriedly comforted her, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt, and I'm not feeling sick. The sleeve was a small accident, and it's Ling Xi's fault that made my brother worry."

Shen Rui repeatedly confirmed that the person in front of him was safe and sound, and finally put his heart back in place, "It's good that you're fine."

Ling Xi looked at Yun Yi beside him, "Thanks to Mr. Yi, he helped me solve a small trouble."

Knowing that his younger brother is fine, Shen Rui has time to take care of others, but when facing Shang Yunyi, he has already put on a bureaucratic tone, "Thank you Mr. Yi for your help, I'm Shen Rui, I will be useful in the future, Just open your mouth, son."

Yun Yi nodded slightly, taking it as a response.

Shen Rui cupped his hands and said, "My brother is bothering me so much, I will take him home now, and leave."

Ling Xi was pulled away by Shen Rui, and just as she stepped out of the threshold, she heard a voice from the person behind her.

"Hold on."

The two turned around, and Shen Rui took a step forward, blocking Ling Xi's half body as a protector, "I don't know what else is going on, Mr. Yi?"

Yun Yi stretched out his hand, and the guard next to him immediately handed over the glazed lamp with both hands.He passed Shen Rui and faced Ling Xi directly, "Don't forget your lamp."

"Thank you."

Ling Xi took it in response, no one stopped them this time.When stepping out of the gate of Xu Mansion, Ling Xi couldn't help but look back, but she didn't see anyone.

"What's wrong?" Shen Rui followed his gaze.

"It's nothing." Ling Xi looked away, and Shen Rui helped her into the carriage.

He just always felt that someone behind him was watching him, maybe it was just an illusion.

After returning to Shen's mansion, Ling Xi saw Xiao Zhong and a group of guards kneeling in the backyard, except for Xiao Zhong, each of the guards held a wooden basin filled with water and lifted it above their heads.

"Brother, they..."

Shen Rui said angrily, "Don't beg for mercy, so many people can't protect you well, it's just that they are usually too slack."

Ling Xi wanted to say something more, but seeing that Shen Rui's face was already darkened, she had to give up.The eldest brother is getting angry, he needs to find another opportunity to mention it again.

"My lord, you're finally back!" Ah Jiu came out yelling, if he wasn't stopped by Ling Xi's eyes, he would almost have cried.

"Young master, sit down quickly, are you tired, do you want to go back to bed and lie down?"

Ling Xi waved his hand and saw that Shen Rui's face softened, so he repeated the old saying, "Brother, just let them get up, I think they must have been kneeling for a long time."

Ah Jiu received his wink and understood, after all, she had been with Ling Xi since she was a child, and the tacit understanding between master and servant has always been there.

"Yeah, I've knelt on my knees all day and night. I haven't eaten a sip of food or drank a sip of water."

Ling Xi took over the conversation, "Even if the punishment has been passed, okay?"

Shen Rui sighed, "Forget it, you know how to protect them, Ah Jiu, go get them up, go back to the residence and copy the Buddhist scriptures thirty times each, and pray for the young master."

Ling Xi glanced at Ah Jiu, and Ah Jiu responded immediately, "Your servant is going!"

"Look at the table, what's there?"

After hearing what he said, Ling Xi turned to look at the case on the table, and there was an extra sword on the case at some point.

"This is?"

Shen Rui saw him pick up the sword and turn it over and over again, like a child getting a favorite toy, then smiled and shook his head, after all, he was still a child at heart.

"I heard that a famous swordsmith came from Yangzhou. He is good at fighting weapons. I sent someone to post a post to order a bronze sword. It was delivered this morning. I was busy looking for you, so I sent someone Put it in your room."

Ling Xi drew out the sword. This sword was two fingers wider than ordinary swords. The body of the sword was red, with exquisite patterns engraved on one side, shining brightly when turned over.

He returned the sword to the scabbard, "It's a good sword."

"As long as you like it." Ever since Ling Xi lived in the mansion and knew that he loved swords the most, Shen Rui sent people around to find out where a good sword could be made, so that he could get a new sword to make his younger brother happy.

"Your clothes..." Shen Rui glanced at his sleeves, "If you like it, let the satin shop make another one with the same material."

Only then did Ling Xi remember that her sleeves were still torn, "Thank you, brother."

Shen Rui looked at him with a smile, and suddenly remembered the person he had met in the Xu Mansion, and the corners of his mouth gradually flattened, "Do you know the identity of that Mr. Yi? I have also been to the Xu Mansion before, and I have never seen such a person." people."

Ling Xi recalled that person, but had no idea, "I only know that he lives in Xu Mansion, and the guards of Xu Mansion obey him. And he seems to be new to Yangzhou, so he is not familiar with this place."

Shen Ruining brows thought for a while, "I heard that there is a young master in Xu Zhifu who left Yangzhou to study in the capital when he was young, and he seems to be coming back soon, could it be him?"

Ling Xi saw that the man really looked like a rich man, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the young master of the magistrate's mansion, but he always felt that the demeanor around this man seemed to be more than that.

"In short, it's better to have less contact with people in the government. The relationship is intricate and complicated. You have never been in contact with officialdom, so you don't know how powerful it is. From now on, you should stay away from that Mr. Yi."

Ling Xi nodded, "I wrote down what the elder brother said."

Shen Rui stayed in his room for a while, watching the man drink the medicine before leaving.Ling Xi returned to the couch alone, and when she looked up, she saw the glazed lamp that he finally brought back after several twists and turns.

Seeing the light, he thought of that strange man again.

When Ah Jiu entered the room, Ling Xi was still leaning against the head of the bed staring at the lamp in a daze.

"Master, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Ling Xi came back to her senses, "Have all the medicine been delivered?"

Ah Jiu went to clean up before the case, "I gave them all, and I gave them all the bruise medicines I asked for from the housekeeper. I knelt for a day and a night, and my knees couldn't stand it. Fortunately, it wasn't the severe winter and the twelfth lunar month, and they also had a little pain." Kung fu, it doesn't matter."

Ling Xi recalled that the commotion was a bit big, and she was worried, "Grandma doesn't know the news, does she?"

Ah Jiu smiled clearly, "Young master, don't worry, I've kept it a secret. Thanks to Grandma Fu, who doesn't come out of the house very much, I just met you, Young Master, two days ago, so I don't have any doubts."

"That's good." Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Grandma is old and has been running around with him all year round. What happened three years ago scared the old man a lot. Now she can't be worried anymore, "You Just remember, everything is fine here, even if there is a small accident, don't let grandma know."

"The servant knows, the young master has a hundred hearts."

Ah Jiu walked to the window and wanted to put away the glazed lamp, but Ling Xi suddenly said, "You don't need to put it away, it's good to hang it there."

"My lord, this lamp is really beautiful. It's the first time this servant sees such a beautiful glazed lamp. You have a good eye."

After all, he still likes this quiet color, remembering that Mr. Yi's robe is somewhat similar to this lamp, if he hadn't never believed in the theory of strange powers and gods, he would have thought it was a glazed lamp.Otherwise, why did that person appear out of nowhere to rescue him as if he had fallen from the sky?

"My lord, what are you thinking about? Are you so preoccupied, did you think of something fun?" Ah Jiu knelt down and rested her chin on her hands, blinking her eyes curiously, as if she was waiting for a story.

Seeing his appearance, Ling Xi couldn't help but smile, "There are no fun things, but there is someone who is fun." After he had done his best, he suddenly changed the topic, "I seem to remember that in a few days it will be Yangzhou martial arts tournament?"

Ah Jiu was immediately taken away by him, and he slapped his thigh, "No, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. The magistrate sent an invitation a few days ago to invite the eldest son to watch the battle. I have heard it said many times, and the servant still I haven't seen it."

Ling Xi narrowed his eyes, he had never seen the martial arts competition in Yangzhou with his own eyes, although it was not as good as the masters of the martial arts competition, but for him who has been bored in the mansion for three years, any excitement is worth watching.

Seeing his expression, Ah Jiu seemed to guess what he was thinking, "My lord, you don't want to watch the battle, do you? You're going to watch the lantern festival and there will be trouble. I'm afraid the eldest son will not agree."

Ling Xi smiled, noncommittal.Although there was a little episode at the lantern festival, it was still rewarding.At least he didn't get sick after going out for a day and a night, which is enough to prove that his health has improved a lot. Based on this alone, the eldest brother will definitely agree to him.

The martial arts competition in Yangzhou is held every five years. The magistrate personally sits in the battle. The arena is set at the most lively Fengyuan Street in Yangzhou. There are no restrictions on the age and gender of the contestants. The winner can get 1000 taels of silver.

On the day of the martial arts competition, Fengyuan Street was surrounded by common people, and Zhifu Xu sat upright on the viewing platform, staring at the audience.On the three-foot-high platform was a large vermilion banner with the word "Wu", and a government official stood upright on the ring, waiting for the moment when the war drums sounded.

At this moment, a carriage came slowly, and the people saw the sign in front of the carriage, and consciously moved out of the way.

The carriage stopped in front of Guanyu Building, Shen Rui got out of the carriage first, and turned around to help Lingxi.

"Watch out."

Ling Xi was supported by Shen Rui, and she was extremely obedient.Originally, Shen Rui should also go to the viewing platform, but because he was afraid that he would catch the cold, he accompanied him to the viewing platform instead.Looking down from the second floor here, you can just have a panoramic view of the arena.

The common people struggled to stretch their necks to look around, more energetic than watching a martial arts competition.

"Who is that young master? I haven't seen him before, can you let Mr. Shen personally help him down?"

"I heard that there is a young master in the Shen residence who has never been out of the residence. Perhaps he grew up among the brocade bushes, he is a bit delicate, and the whole Shen residence hides him like a treasure."

"See you today, don't tell me, it's really a treasure. If I have such a person in my family, I don't want others to spy on me."

There was a sudden whispering in the crowd, all because of this mysterious young man who was astonishing.

"Master, isn't that son the one who rescued Xu's mansion a few days ago?"

Yun Yi watched Ling Xi and his party climb up the Guanyu Tower from a distance, his expression did not change, but his eyes followed the apricot color all the time, and he couldn't take it back for a long time.
