Chapter 15
Ten years after leaving the imperial capital, it really is still very lively here.Zhan Lian still has some baby fat on her face, but she has inherited the heroic spirit and free and easy style of Marquis Ding Guo, and with ten years of apprenticeship, she looks more refined than the ladies in the boudoir.She was dressed in short clothes for the purpose of hurrying home, but the bustle of the Imperial City attracted her attention, so she couldn't help but slow down her pace.She entered the Chaohua Gate, and went home from west to east.
Li Jinchen brought Mu Xin to live in Prince Li Jinrui's residence temporarily.
"My brother has been studying with Daru for a month, and the housekeeper came to pick me up every day, why did the emperor come to pick me up today?" Li Jinrui said sternly.
Three years ago, when Concubine Rong died suddenly, Li Jinchen begged Emperor Cheng to take care of Li Jinrui in his palace. He could be regarded as the first prince to leave the palace.Therefore, Empress Xiao issued a decree: the thirteenth prince, Li Jinrui, will kill his mother, and the ominous person cannot worship the king in this life.
"Rui'er is so polite, it must be taught by Mr. In the future, if it's just our brothers in private, Rui'er can call me brother, and call yourself younger brother. There is no need for those red tapes between you and me." Li Jinchen held Li Jinrui's hand Bow your head and ask.
Li Jinchen is not as burly as a 15-year-old man, but holding the little Li Jinrui looks a lot like a mother and daughter.Mu Xin, who was following behind, carefully observed the surrounding movement to ensure the safety of the two people in front.
After five years of internal strength cultivation, Li Jinchen has grown taller, but she has no feminine characteristics at all. Those poisons had already penetrated into her bones when she was a child. It is already a miracle that she can grow taller and possess profound internal strength. It is already a miracle that she can live to this day. The age of 15 to 25 is the most beautiful time, and it is also the last period of Li Jinchen's life. She wants to use these ten years to complete her revenge and cultivate an emperor who can inherit the great rule for Da Zhou.
There are many people around the corner where the East and West streets meet, and the sound of a woman crying can be heard from a distance.After Zhan Lian went down the mountain, she always wanted to be a hero, and she thought that the opportunity had come.
"Mu Xin, go and see what's going on?" This is the third time Li Jinchen heard a woman crying on the street this month, presumably some aristocratic family wanted to install someone into her mansion again, it really took great pains.
"Stop!" Zhan Lian raised the knife in her hand and pointed at the man who touched the woman kneeling on the ground.
"Hey, girl, you look pretty good too, why don't you follow me too?" The person who spoke looked obscene, and who else could he be if he wasn't the King of Qi, Li Jinhua, in a fancy dress?
Zhan Lian had never been humiliated like this before, and she stretched out her hand to draw a knife.But he didn't want to be held by a cold hand.
Mu Xin gestured to the guard not far behind, and the guard stepped into the crowd.
Zhan Lian turned around and looked over, and saw that the owner of the hand was a thin young man, who was not much taller than herself, but with long eyelashes, big eyes, sword-shaped eyebrows, small nose and red lips, which looked very handsome.She was holding a child by her hand. The child was dressed like her and looked like a child of an aristocratic family.Standing behind them was a young handsome man, wearing a military uniform embroidered with animal heads, one could tell that he was a high-ranking military officer.
"Girl, wait a minute!" The young man opened his red lips.
"Yes, it's easy for a young lady to grow old with such a violent temper." The wretched man turned to the young man, teasing: "Isn't this the tenth brother? Why, with a good friend," he nodded the young officer with his chin, "leader How about showing affection to the little brat?" After speaking, he and the group of people behind him burst into laughter.
tenth brother?Is this man?Zhan Lian looked at the boy with an unusually calm face.The man behind him was also expressionless.Instead, the child puffed out his mouth in anger.
"Brother Liuhuang's mouth smells so bad." The child shook his hands as if there was a toilet in front of his nose.
"Hey, Rui'er can't be like this, although Brother Liuhuang likes to bully others, but he also has people who are afraid of him." The boy bowed his head and said.
"Who is the Sixth Brother afraid of?" The child looked curious.
"Her." Li Jinchen pointed in one direction of the crowd, and then a woman's sharp roar came from the other side, "Li Jinhua, where are you? Come out to my old lady!"
The sixth prince didn't even have the mind to tease the woman, he turned around and ran away when he heard the voice.
"Oh, I see, it's the emperor's wife." Li Jinrui pursed his lips and smiled like a little adult.
Just now the guard ran to the palace to tell the concubine that King Qi was molesting women from good families on the street.This princess was jealous and pungent, which caused Li Jinhua a headache the most.
"Look, the problem is solved. There's no need to fight or kill. You can get two knights with a single slap in this imperial capital. Seeing that the heroine is an outsider, don't use force again in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Li Jinchen said with a smile.The pear dimples on her cheeks gave her a bit of a daughter's charm, her smile looked sweet, and her voice was nice.It's a pity, how could such a wonderful person be from the Xiao family?Another broken sleeve.
Li Jinchen nodded to Zhanlian, and pulled Li Jinrui to leave. Who knew that the woman who was molested just jumped up and hugged Li Jinchen's thigh.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the high officials. The little girl has nothing to repay. The little girl has no relatives at home. She is lonely and helpless. Please ask the high officials to take the little girl back. The little girl will be like a cow or a horse to repay the high officials. "The woman blurted out.
"Presumptuous." Mu Xin said coldly, going forward to push the woman away.
"Girl, let go, talk well. I have mules and horses at home, so I don't bother you to do it. Is the girl really helpless? Are you really lonely?" Li Jinchen asked, not forgetting to pull Li Jinrui behind him to protect her .
The woman calmed down and nodded.
Li Jinchen sighed, it was true that the eyeliners of the various aristocratic families in the imperial capital had all been put into his mansion.Not bad for this one either.She nodded to Mu Xin.
"Get up and follow me. I'll take you into the mansion." Mu Xin said coldly.
Can such a clumsy trick be fooled?I can see that my own experience in the world is so shallow, so the King of Chu can't see it?Zhan Lian's jaw almost fell to the ground.No wonder the master asked me to take good care of her, it's an idiot, maybe someone will cook it someday without knowing it.
Li Jinchen felt that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes behind him, and turned around to see the heroine just now.She sighed again, and asked helplessly, "Is the heroine also lonely and helpless?"
Zhanlian shook her head, I'm just hungry.Well, let's go to your house for a meal.She was a little embarrassed, as if her means were not as good as that woman's.But Li Jinchen nodded.
"Although this king has no skills, fortunately the fief is rich and there is no shortage of food in the family. If the heroine doesn't dislike it, let's go together." After she finished speaking, she took Li Jinrui's hand and walked ahead, followed by the vigilant Mu Xin, and two woman.
When Li Jinrui returned home, he handed it over to the nanny to take care of her.Li Jinchen ate dinner alone.Her bowls and chopsticks are specially placed in the dormitory, because her internal strength is cultivated, her blood and body fluids are highly poisonous, and the bowls and chopsticks she touches with her mouth will turn black. Meals are eaten in the bedroom hall, which is called sharing with the lover, and no disturbance is allowed.
Zhan Lian followed the housekeeper to eat in the dining room. She excused herself to go to the toilet and went around to find Li Jinchen's bedroom.But saw something unexpected.
