You are such a good person!
Xu Yanmiao: [I understand!]
The prince nodded: I understand too! Princess
Xiangyang was eager to try: I, I understand too!
The old emperor clenched his fists.
You know shit!
"Bang bang——"
"Ouch——"
The old emperor retracted his fists, Xu Yanmiao and the prince held the big bumps on their heads and grinned.
But it doesn't matter, the mouth has nowhere to go, Xu Yanmiao still has something to say! It's terrible!
[Too much!]
Xu Yanmiao complained in his heart: [This is what Lord Quan taught me! If you have the guts, beat Lord Quan! Isn't it bullying that I won't be hurt if I get beaten casually, Lord Quan might just lie on the ground with osteoporosis if he gets beaten!]
The old emperor chuckled.
I am the emperor, I can beat whoever I want to beat,
if you don't obey, just hold it in! [Besides, if you have the energy, you might as well beat the brat who is about to confess his love to your daughter.]
"???"
Who?!
The old emperor frowned instantly.
He wanted his daughter to find her ideal husband, and he was also happy to let his daughter choose her own lover. But if anyone thinks he can contact and seduce his daughter in private, don't blame him for being rude.
——The emperor is so arbitrary!
Princess Xiangyang poked her head out from the crowd.
Yes, she ran fast just now, so only Xu Yanmiao and the prince were beaten.
At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess poked her head around, her eyes burning.
Who is it! Which of her sisters?
[Oh! Bad news! Where is Gao Xiang! I was just trying to remind her! 】
Princess Xiangyang's beastly instinct startled, and she turned her head stiffly, and saw a scholar holding a bunch of rape flowers in his arms, with excitement in his eyes.
The scholar took two steps forward: "Your Highness, can I have a word with you?"
Princess Xiangyang: "..."
She felt countless eyes focused on her, and her brain seemed to feel dizzy.
However, if this matter is not resolved, who knows if Lin Zhi will do something else!
Princess Xiangyang suppressed her temper and said expressionlessly: "Okay. Let's go to a place where there is no one."
*
They went to the boat. The
boat was sailing on the stream, and the boys and girls stood on the bow of the boat, their clothes fluttering, so romantic.
Lin Zhi's eyes were full of pure joy.
He didn't know the identity of Princess Xiangyang at first, but later he found out by accident and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
As everyone knows, Princess Xiangyang and Xu Shentong are ruthless and uninterested, otherwise Your Majesty would have arranged the marriage long ago, and would he still allow for someone else's feelings?
That's why I boldly wrote a poem, which was fortunately praised by people in the capital——
"Your Highness." Lin Zhi thought he was very calm, but in fact his voice was trembling with shyness: "I wrote a poem, I wonder if Your Highness would like to appreciate it?"
Princess Xiangyang had a cold face and a very clear attitude, leaving absolutely no room for Lin Zhi's imagination: "Why do you have to send me a poem?"
Lin Zhi was in high spirits: "I accidentally heard Your Highness talking with Xu Shentong that day. Your Highness hopes to have someone to accompany you to watch the snow, the stars and the moon, and talk about poetry and songs to the philosophy of life. I..."
He blushed again at this time: "I also know a little about poetry..."
Princess Xiangyang felt puzzled: "When will I..."
The voice paused, as if her throat was smeared by syrup. The princess couldn't speak for a while, and her face was weird.
I remember, she did say it. But she learned that from Xu Yanmiao, and wanted to use it to dislike her father. But this person heard it and thought it was her expectation for her future husband.
Princess Xiangyang held her head with one hand to hide the twitching corners of her mouth. The tone seemed normal: "Do you want to be my consort?"
Lin Zhi nodded. Then he realized that the princess might not be able to see it, and immediately opened his mouth: "Yes! Your Highness Zhi is happy."
Xiangyang put down her hand and looked at him intently. A girl like Jiaoyang would never be shy or dodge even when talking about her own marriage.
The princess raised her chin slightly: "Then what can you do for me?"
Lin Zhi said.
He knew that he could not compare with the royal family's foundation, and all he could offer was his heart.
"Your Highness seems to like rape flowers, so I went to learn how to grow flowers, how to make honey from flowers, grind them into rouge, tie them into wreaths... Every day, Your Highness can see a unique gift."
"Your Highness has ambitions. If you want to choose a son-in-law, you must choose a virtuous person who can take good care of Your Highness when Your Highness returns home and take care of the backyard for Your Highness. Will I...will I be lucky enough to be that person?"
"I pay close attention to Your Highness's preferences on a daily basis. Which clothes, which jewelry, which box of rouge Your Highness likes more, I will definitely remember it and send it to Your Highness."
"If Your Highness likes delicious food, I will inquire about new restaurants or popular delicacies in the market when Your Highness is in court, and serve them to Your Highness as soon as you return home from court."
Lin Zhi didn't say other things, as he felt that saying them would be like seeking credit.
If possible, he would willingly accommodate the princess's preferences.
He has had the habit of having two drinks every day for five or six years, but if the princess hates the smell of alcohol, he will quit drinking as soon as possible.
He goes to bed after three o'clock every morning, but if the princess doesn't like it, he will lie down on the bed and close his eyes at midnight every night.
There are also other bits and pieces...
"No matter what Your Highness asks for, as long as it can be done, I will definitely satisfy it."
Lin Zhi said very firmly.
As he said this, he held the rape flowers in his hand in front of him, and presented them to Princess Xiangyang with enthusiasm and sincerity.
The man and the woman, when they teased each other, gave each other spoons of medicine.
Since ancient times, men and women would give each other spoons of medicine when they expressed their true feelings. Lin Zhi did not give a spoon of medicine, but the rape flowers that Princess Xiangyang liked.
Princess Xiangyang did not answer.
She made a gesture, and the servants on the boat slowly rowed the boat to the shore.
"Then don't like me anymore, I won't like you anymore. Don't bother me anymore in the future."
When she jumped onto the shore lightly, she tilted her face slightly, and a ray of sunlight slanted across her cheek and fell on the rape flowers.
Lin Zhi asked anxiously, "Is it because of Xu's magic power?"
Princess Xiangyang looked back at Lin Zhi and said, "It has nothing to do with him."
Lin Zhi asked anxiously again, "Is it because I didn't do well enough? I can learn! I can treat the princess well!"
Princess Xiangyang: "You are a good person."
Lin Zhi: "Then..."
Princess Xiangyang looked at him and said seriously and firmly, "I don't want to get married. What does it have to do with me whether you are good or not?"
Lin Zhi was stunned on the boat, watching Princess Xiangyang finish this sentence, and then happily walked away in the sunshine. Lin Zhi lowered his head and looked at the bouquet of "rapeseed flowers" in his hand.
Where can rapeseed flowers come from in the capital in July?
This bouquet of "flowers" with gold pieces carved into petals and jasper as branches was never sent out.
Lin Zhi left in a daze, passing by a village. The lights were already on, and the village was still bustling with people. Stall vendors were hawking their wares on the street, and villagers were holding their big fat babies, looking at this and touching that, but they were reluctant to buy.
Someone saw Lin Zhi and shouted anxiously: "Mr. Lin! I finally found you! My pig is sick! Can you help me take a look!"
Lin Zhi immediately came to his senses and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Take me to see it!"
For these poor villagers, a pig is half their life!
When they got there, they found that there was mucus in the pig's eyes and red particles on the tip of its tongue: "It's a fever!"
Lin Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, just add Houttuynia cordata and Plantago seed to the pig's meal."
The man thanked him profusely and bowed several times, and Lin Zhi couldn't even hold him up.
"Mr. Lin, you are such a good man!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhi sniffed and suddenly felt like crying.
——Why is he a good man again?
*
The Jinyiwei wanted to take a deep breath.
He climbed out of the water, spit out the bamboo tube, and took deep breaths. After several breaths, he quickly entered the palace and told the old emperor about the conversation between Princess Xiangyang and Lin Zhi.
——It was mainly because Xu Lang respected his friend and didn't go to see what was going on with Princess Xiangyang, otherwise they wouldn't be needed.
After hearing what Jin Yiwei said, the old emperor was very surprised: "Did she really say that?"
Jin Yiwei bowed slightly: "What I said is true."
The old emperor waved his hand: "You can go down."
Hey, this girl! How can a woman not marry!
Men marry wives, women marry husbands, it is indeed an ethical principle... The old emperor paused for a moment, thinking of the sentence "Your Majesty, your entire family of women, including you, are very unethical", his eyelids twitched, and he skilfully skipped the "ethical principle" and continued to think angrily: Shengxian is a little too much, judging from her intentions, she actually wants to never get married!
How can this be!
The old emperor sent someone to say, "Call Xiangyang here." The people below just received the order, but before they left the palace, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait! Forget it."
Who knows who is the concubine, Shengxian's personality is like him, very stubborn. She is very stubborn on things that she has made up her mind.
Is he going to force the concubine to death?
Let's wait and see.
*
"So the matter is solved?"
"Yes! Perfectly solved!"
The two children met again.
Xu Yanmiao clapped her hands at Princess Xiangyang: "You are so amazing!"
Princess Xiangyang folded her arms, leaned against the wall, and raised her chin proudly: "Of course! This princess will take action and succeed immediately!"
Xu Yanmiao continued to clap her hands: "Then your highness, do you want to go and see how Zhu Bailu is doing now?"
Princess Xiangyang's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
So the two of them quickly went to see the excitement.
When they arrived at the place where Zhu Bailu was temporarily staying in the capital, they saw people moving around, with clear figures, jade-colored silk, blue fine cloth, and green long gowns of all kinds. A dozen scholars who came from nowhere sat at the door of Zhu Bailu's residence, lined up in a row, each of them holding their heads high and chests puffed out, and were righteous and full of confidence.
Xu Yanmiao and Princess Xiangyang came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
It was too dark, and these people had never met Xu Yanmiao up close, and they didn't recognize the person in front of them as Xu Shentong. The person being questioned stood up politely and bowed, "Hello, brother."
Xu Yanmiao also hurriedly returned the greeting.
Then the man told the whole story - they came to debate with Zhu Bailu.
"He likes to debate, and we like it too, so we lined up to debate with him."
"Line up?"
"Yes. We have been debating from the hour of Wei to now, and it has been three hours. The previous ones have finished their debates, and it will be our turn soon."
As he said this, the scholar pounded his legs.
Sitting cross-legged for so many hours, he was almost exhausted.
Xu Yanmiao and Princess Xiangyang exchanged a glance.
Xu Yanmiao decisively opened the system.
[Tsk tsk...]
As expected, she saw Zhu Bailu's current condition.
[How miserable! He's already old, and he's been talking for six hours straight. He's almost exhausted.]
Princess Xiangyang whispered, "He deserves it."
[Then there's nothing to see.]
Xu Yanmiao was too lazy to add insult to injury, and it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Princess Xiangyang and went home leisurely.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw someone putting something in the mailbox that was nailed to his door.
Xu Yanmiao: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The man was startled, and after turning around and seeing that it was Xu Yanmiao, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he grabbed the corner of his clothes and said timidly: "My dear! Do you remember the young prostitute you saved a year and a half ago?"
Xu Yanmiao immediately remembered that it was the woman who was going to marry the river god and was saved by him. Disguising
as a woman in order to save someone is indeed an unforgettable experience.
"It's you? What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
The woman lowered her head, her face seemed a little shy, but she mustered up the courage: "My dear, you saved me from the sea of suffering that day. Now I have something that may help your career, so I came here to repay you!"
