The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 38

Xie Linxi always thought that Ji Mingyi was just an old fox.

He had taught the former emperor and Qi Jingyuan, and now as a grand tutor, he often had quarrels in court, but whenever something happened, he would think of Qi Jingyuan in the opposite direction of the little emperor.

In short, in Xie Linxi's view, what Ji Mingyi did was very unfair, as if Ji Mingyi was the most loyal courtier to the former emperor and the younger emperor, and Qi Jingyuan was a thief with evil intentions.

Of course, when this person lives in the world, his heart is always biased.

For example, he has been on Qi Jingyuan's side from the very beginning, as long as someone is unfavorable to Qi Jingyuan, he regards that person as an enemy.So for people like Ji Mingyi, Xie Linxi has always looked at him with a neutral attitude.

There is no friendship between the two people in the court hall, but the two people in the court hall are the most ordinary strangers.

Compared to Xie Linxi's desertedness, Qi Jingyuan's feelings for Ji Mingyi are somewhat complicated.

This person is his teacher, someone he respects, and someone who can restrain him in the court.

Ji Mingyi is the witness of the brotherhood between Qi Jingyuan and the first emperor.Now Ji Mingyi is the grand tutor, and it is the evidence left by the former emperor to guard against Qi Jingyuan.

Qi Jingyuan didn't feel sad about the former emperor's actions in his previous life, and he won't be sad in this life.

When the first emperor died of illness, the little emperor was still a child who didn't know anything about whether a weak body could live to adulthood.

Ordinary people will make troubles in the house because of a family business, and brothers will turn against father and son, not to mention that this family business is the entire Daqi.

There is a difference between being a regent and being an emperor.People's hearts are changeable, Qi Jingyuan is very young, and when the little emperor becomes an adult, he will be at the prime of his glory. At that time, no one knows to what extent the brotherhood will be wiped out, and no one can say for sure whether he will return to the government.

So Ji Mingyi was the one left by the late emperor to remind Qi Jingyuan.

Qi Jingyuan has done things with a clear conscience all these years, and the same is true for Ji Mingyi.Even when the two sometimes disagreed, Qi Jingyuan still treated him as a teacher and never thought of harming him.

Now that Ji Mingyi is ill, Qi Jingyuan came to see him, not as the regent, but as a student in private.

When meeting Ji Mingyi, besides Xie Linxi, even Jin Yi was left outside by his side.

Xie Linxi didn't really want to see Ji Mingyi's old face, but seeing that Qi Jingyuan was in a bad mood, he silently accompanied him.

When he met someone, he said hello and just looked at Qi Jingyuan from the side.

When a person is ill, he loses energy, and Ji Mingyi is no exception. His energy is not good, his face is pale, and he looks much older.

There was no one else in his room, his sons and grandsons were all there, but the old man said, "I'm talking to the prince, you're an eyesore, you're an eyesore," so they all went back and dismissed them.

The rest of the Ji family didn't dare to refute Ji Mingyi's words, and they were afraid of offending Qi Jingyuan, so they stood there and hesitated for a while.

Fortunately, Qi Jingyuan was very generous, half serious and half joking: "The teacher is afraid that they will get bored listening to us talking."

The others hurriedly said, dare not dare.

Then he told the time when Ji Mingyi needed to take the medicine, and then retreated one by one.

After they left, Ji Mingyi took a look at Xie Linxi.

Qi Jingyuan pretended not to see, Xie Linxi regarded himself as a silent mountain, standing there without moving.

Ji Mingyi's heart choked, his whole body felt uncomfortable, and he coughed dryly in an instant.

Qi Jingyuan looked helpless, he was about to stand up and pour a cup of tea for Ji Mingyi, Xie Linxi had already done it before him.

The tea was placed on the small table next to Ji Mingyi, Xie Linxi said: "Teacher, drink some tea to nourish your throat."

Ji Mingyi was even more frustrated, and coughed several times before he stopped. He slowly picked up the tea and drank a couple of sips, and then couldn't help sighing: "I'm afraid there are not many people in the whole capital who can drink the tea poured by Commander Xie himself. This old man is one of them today."

"Teacher is just joking, if he is willing to be an official, he can refill your tea and water every day." Xie Linxi said lightly.

Before Ji Mingyi could speak, Qi Jingyuan frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a majestic commander of the prison department, and you hang around in front of the teacher every day. The teacher himself is not happy."

Ji Mingyi watched them sing together coldly, endured and endured but still couldn't hold back, and said: "My lord, this is an old man, Commander Xie's hands are for interrogating prisoners and they have made great contributions to Daqi. Serving me tea and water is an overkill. "

Qi Jingyuan was not modest this time, and he even sighed: "What the teacher said is that I haven't drunk the tea he poured himself a few times."

In Ji Mingyi's ears, these words had a deep meaning, but in Xie Linxi's ears, they were naked complaints, which did not make people feel uncomfortable, but instead had a different kind of sweetness.

Ji Mingyi's beard stood up, he stroked it, seeing that Qi Jingyuan really had no intention of letting Xie Linxi leave, so he stopped pursuing this point, he said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, this year is not easy for Qi Jingyuan. "

"After this year is over, there will be another year to come. Now that the situation has stabilized, the common people can enjoy a reunion day with peace of mind." Qi Jingyuan said in a low voice, "The Grand Tutor still needs to take good care of his body and heal his illness as soon as possible."

"It's all an old problem." Ji Mingyi sighed with a smile: "I'm getting older, and I don't know how many years I can last."

Qi Jingyuan didn't speak, and Ji Mingyi's eyes were a little disappointed. He continued: "When I'm old, I miss the past very much. These days when I'm sick, I always think of the scene when I taught the late emperor and the prince. The prince didn't like reading when he was young. , I often sleep in class, the late emperor is old, and always says that the prince is too young to get up too early and his body can't bear it. It doesn't matter if he sleeps a little longer in class, he will make up for the missed homework. The late emperor always prepares some snacks In the study, for fear of starving the prince..."

With his nagging, Xie Linxi couldn't help imagining those pictures in his mind.

The young Qi Jingyuan was sleeping in class in a daze.When he was woken up by someone, his face was full of displeasure, and he ate cakes resentfully because of his hunger.

It's a pity that he didn't participate in those days, and could only peek at the past from other people's memories.

Maybe Ji Mingyi just wanted to stir up a topic at first, but the more he said later, the more nostalgic his tone became.

Xie Linxi was listening, and couldn't help but look at Qi Jingyuan.

Seeing this, he was slightly taken aback.

Qi Jingyuan lowered his brows and eyes, his expression was very calm, it could even be said to be a kind of indifference.

Just like what Ji Mingyi said in his mouth, it has long since disappeared in his mind, and other people's memories are nothing but a long-forgotten past to him.

Qi Jingyuan felt Xie Linxi's scrutinizing gaze, he raised his head slightly, smiled, and when he met Ji Mingyi last time, his face had a glow of approval for the past, and he said: "It's been so long, I didn't expect the Taifu to return Remember."

A sentence of teacher and a sentence of Tai Tuo refer to the same person, but the feelings are indeed different.

Ji Mingyi also understood this, he was silent for a while and said: "When the old minister saw the emperor, he thought of the prince back then. The emperor is young, and there are many things that need to be taught by the prince. In the eyes of the veteran, the prince and the emperor are now the same as the previous emperor and prince. No difference."

He babbled so much, just for this one sentence.

Maybe it was because of Qi Jingyuan's actions these days that the old fox had other thoughts, maybe he just sighed that sentence, in short, he said it.

"The prince understands what the Taifu means." Qi Jingyuan smiled and stood up and said, "Don't think too much about the Taifu, take good care of your illness, and the King will come to visit the Taifu some other day."

In Xie Linxi's eyes, this smile was not a smile at all, it was so fake.

When there is no one around, it is necessary to comfort and comfort this person, Xie Linxi thought absently, what does Qi Jingyuan like?

After thinking about it seriously, he doesn't seem to have anyone or anything he particularly likes except himself.

Accidentally thought of a way to comfort others, Xie Linxi's eyes and ears were aroused.

Seeing that Qi Jingyuan was about to get up and leave, Ji Mingyi sat up straight and called out to the prince.

Qi Jingyuan looked at Ji Mingyi, without even a smirk on his face, he said softly: "Teacher, how has this king treated the emperor all these years as the regent? Have you ever given your heart?"

Ji Mingyi was slightly taken aback, and then he forced a smile and said, "Of course the prince is doing very well."

"Since this is the case, why do you often talk like this in this king's ear." Qi Jingyuan smiled unceremoniously and said their thoughts: "It's just that I don't care about it."

"Teacher, don't worry, this king has nothing to do with heaven and earth, and even more so with the emperor." Finally Qi Jingyuan said such a sentence, and then left.

When returning to the palace, Xie Linxi was going to ride a horse.

But as soon as he made a move, Qi Jingyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "Go inside and talk to me."

This is why he chose to be a carriage instead of a sedan chair.

Xie Linxi understood what he meant, and went in without any politeness.

The carriage is neither big nor small, but the things inside are very delicate.There are soft blankets, a stove and warm tea.

When the carriage moved, Xie Linxi stepped forward to embrace him, and leaned over to leave.

When the two were out of breath, he backed away and said, "Is the prince in a better mood?"

Qi Jingyuan hummed, and with Xie Linxi by his side, he suddenly felt that this was a real world.

Ji Mingyi also had such a heart-to-heart talk with him once in his previous life. At that time, he didn't open his mouth to criticize anyone. Now it seems that it is not difficult to speak out what is in his heart.

As long as your heart is empty and hard, you don't care about everything.

In his previous life, he remembered the brotherhood between himself and the first emperor, he never felt sorry for the first emperor, if he really said sorry to anyone, it could only be Xie Linxi.In this life, he could no longer remember the faces of those who died, and he only wanted to have Xie Linxi by his side.

The two lived their lives in peace and stability.

Xie Linxi did not ask why Qi Jingyuan was in a low mood, the two of them were next to each other, it was cold outside, but warm inside the carriage.

Xie Linxi spent this year in the palace, and the two watched the year together and waited for the arrival of the new year together.

While waiting, we had a very happy night with each other.

The old year has passed, except for not finding the missing person from the Zuo family, Xie Linxi feels very satisfied with other things.

Especially the fact that he and Qi Jingyuan are in the same mind, it is very satisfactory when you think about it.

During the period from the Chinese New Year to the opening of the seal, Xie Linxi hardly left the palace.

The two lived a noisy and absurd period of time, there were no calculations, no court disputes, some just blended with each other's breath, and each other's names were engraved on the tip of their hearts.

But the good times are always short-lived.

Xie Linxi has not recovered from it, and it is time to open the seal.

When the seal was opened, it was not too cold, and the little emperor was sick intermittently, and did not come forward, everything was taken care of by Qi Jingyuan.

The new year looks like a new beginning, but it is the cycle of previous years.

Ji Mingyi's illness was also healed, he stood in the hall, still the same as before, he didn't speak unless he had to, and more often he followed the crowd.

Nothing seems to have changed, but Xie Linxi knows that everything has changed.

The days went on like this day by day, Xie Linxi Palace was busy both inside and outside the palace.

On this day, when he was on duty in the palace, Qi Jingyuan was called by the Queen Mother, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

Xie Linxi did not follow, and when he was inspecting the palace defense, he saw the little emperor standing in the imperial garden.

Because a year passed and he was one year older, the little emperor seemed to be a little taller.The weather was getting warmer, and the little emperor's health was getting better. He looked a little thin, but he didn't cough much.

Xie Linxi walked over to salute, the little emperor saw him and hurriedly said: "Commander Xie is dead."

Xie Linxi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the wind in the imperial garden is still very cold, Your Majesty should pay attention to your body."

Hearing this, the little emperor looked at him seriously and said, "I thought you were going to send me back. Everyone around me would say that, it's cold, the emperor should go back to the palace."

After talking about it, he laughed like that, and his voice was a little lonely: "But I have been staying in Qianchen Palace for several months, and I really want to come out for a walk."

Xie Linxi didn't raise her head and said: "They are also worried about the emperor."

"But you are very different." The little emperor said, probably feeling that the words were ambiguous, and he hurriedly added: "I am not saying that you don't care about my body, I just think that you are very different in what you say and do."

Xie Linxi said: "This minister is no different from others, they all care about the emperor's body. It's just that this minister feels that the emperor is not a child who doesn't know the world, so he naturally knows hot and cold."

The little emperor was slightly stunned, then he rolled his eyes and smiled, "You are very interesting. With you by my uncle's side, I will definitely not feel bored."

If this is not done properly, people will think that he is digging the wall, and the little emperor did not wait for Xie Linxi to speak, and said: "Forget it, you are right, the wind in the imperial garden is indeed a bit cool, you send me back to the palace Bar."

Xie Linxi said yes.

But before the two of them moved, they saw Jin Yi leading someone walking towards them from a distance.

After Jin Yi came, he did not look at Xie Linxi, but bowed respectfully to the little emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

The little emperor blinked, not knowing what he thought of, his face changed slightly, and then he calmed down again. He frowned, and said slowly: "I see."

Xie Linxi raised his head, and soon lowered it again.

At this time, he was also curious, since it was the queen mother who wanted to see the little emperor, why it was Jin Yi who sent the message.

Either something happened, and Qi Jingyuan and the Queen Mother had a dispute, or it was related to the little emperor who wanted him to come over and make up his mind.

The little emperor got up to leave, Jin Yiwei was two steps behind, said a few words to Xie Linxi and left.

After everyone left, Xie Linxi continued to be on duty.

But until he was on duty, he did not see Qi Jingyuan.

Xie Linxi was not worried that the Empress Dowager would attack Qi Jingyuan in the palace. Since the last time a maid wanted to administer medicine, Qi Jingyuan was very careful in the palace. Besides, when he went to see the Empress Dowager, he was accompanied by the eunuch maid and guards, so he was sure of his safety. There is no problem.

As for what happened in the palace, when Qi Jingyuan returns to the palace, he will naturally know.

After leaving the palace, Xie Linxi went to the Secretary of the Heavenly Prison, and then took people to the East Street. He managed to find some news about the child from the Zuo family recently, and he was on the East Street.
