After hearing the letter from the capital, Xiao Jingzhao picked up a bucket of water and poured it over his head. He grabbed a cotton handkerchief and wrapped it around his waist, and walked out quickly.
Xiang Song took the letter from the guard and handed it to Xiao Jingzhao.
Xiao Jingzhao quickly opened the wax seal and pulled out a stack of white paper.
Xiang Song saw his master put the letter on the desk, picked up a portrait inside and read it.
Seeing his master looking at the portrait with a smile in his eyes, Xiang Song took a curious peek.
All I saw on the paper was a portrait of Sui Sui. The grinning Sui Sui in the portrait was like the boy who gave away money in the New Year painting.
"The brat is smiling so happily. He must be enjoying life in the capital."
Xiao Jingzhao didn't care about the water drops on his hair dripping down his strong chest, and took out the portrait below to continue looking at it.
As the smile faded, the air in the room grew colder.
When Xiang Song saw his master's expression, it was like the sky in June, and he could change it at any time.
Looking up, I saw the master frowning and staring at the painting, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he quickly looked through the remaining paintings.
Xiang Song bravely asked: "Master, is there something wrong with the painting?"
"There's nothing wrong with Sui Sui, it's this guy who has the problem."
The portraits are spread out on the desk.
Sui Sui was riding on the shoulders of an extraordinary handsome man, pointing at two fighting roosters.
Looking over again, Suisui was holding a bunch of candied haws in one hand and holding the man's hand in the other. The two were as close as father and son.
There is also a scene of two people sitting in the study reading a book together.
"Master, I know this person. He is a disciple of the Black Dragon Pond Valley Master. His name is Nangong Zeyue. This person robs the rich and gives to the poor. He is good at giving. He also helped the refugees when he was in Yannan. I remember that I have reported it to you. .”
Xiao Jingzhao's face was as dark as ink, and he glanced sideways at Xiang Song, "When did you say that he was so close to Suisui?"
Xiang Song bowed his head, it was all due to his oversight. He only knew that Nangong Zeyue was known as the master thief and that he helped Miss Jiang run errands, but he didn't realize that Young Master Suisi was so dependent on him.
"Master, leave him alone. This man is close to Miss Jiang. He has no problem being nice to Suisui. Come and see what important things Miss Jiang said in her letter."
Xiao Jingzhao looked at the unsightly Nangong Zeyue with mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Especially Xiang Song's words of 'be better' are harsh no matter how you hear them.
He picked up the letter and glanced at it.
Seeing that the content was too important, he read it carefully again.
He pulled out three prescriptions from under the letter and his face darkened.
How could she conclude that an epidemic was about to happen?
Thinking of what she said to me before she left, long-term drought will lead to long-term floods, and wouldn't it easily lead to epidemics later?
"Xiang Song, hurry up and tell me to go down and have someone buy the medicinal materials."
"Master, is there going to be a war on the border?" Xiang Song was excited. Further south from Yannan was the Liang Kingdom.
If the Liang Kingdom invades at this time, the capital will definitely not send a large number of troops to support it, and the wealth that Yan Nan has finally accumulated will be emptied.
"No, we have to deal with the epidemic."
After Xiang Song polished his ink, Xiao Jingzhao went back indoors to dry himself and get dressed.
In order to avoid making mistakes, Xiao Jingzhao copied more than ten prescriptions by hand.
He handed the copied prescription to Xiang Song and "distributed it to various county offices and asked people to prepare medicinal materials for emergencies."
Seeing Xiang Song take the order, Xiao Jingzhao breathed a long sigh of relief.
If an epidemic does occur, he will save the people at all costs. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.
He wanted to go to the capital to reunite with his son as soon as possible, and he could not let the man continue to take his precious son to play with the cat and walk the dog.
"Master, the princess is waiting for you to have lunch in the flower hall." Xiang Yang called outside after passing the message.
Thinking of the flowers and plants he sent back to the palace, the haze in Xiao Jingzhao's eyes disappeared.
We moved to the flower hall for lunch. It seemed that the mother-in-law liked the flowers and plants he sent back.
After putting away the letter and portrait, Xiao Jingzhao walked quickly to the flower hall.
"What, what's going on?"
When Xiao Jingzhao walked to the handwriting arcade, he heard the voices of girls talking. There seemed to be more than a few.
"My subordinate just asked someone to pass the message to the princess in front of Chuihua Gate." Xiang Yang quickly cleared the relationship. He didn't know anything.
Xiao Jingzhao walked forward for a while, looked up, and saw that the gauze curtain of the flower hall was blown by the wind, and there were shadows inside, and the figures of red flowers and green willows could be vaguely seen.
"Master, go ahead, my subordinates won't go in." Xiang Yang stopped moving forward knowingly.
Xiao Jingzhao turned around and glanced at Xiang Yang, "Did you already know that there was a guest in your house?"
"No, I really don't know anything." Xiang Yang shrank his neck guiltily.
He doesn't admit to this.
The maid waiting at the entrance of the flower hall had already reported the news of the prince's arrival to the princess.
When the princess heard that her second son was back, she said to Aunt Cai: "Go out and have a look, don't let him turn around and slip away."
When Xiao Jingzhao was thinking about whether to go back, Aunt Cai came out with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please come in quickly. The princess has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Auntie, the flower hall is full of girls. It's not suitable for me to go there." Xiao Jing hesitated, not because he was afraid of seeing girls, but because he felt that it was inappropriate for him to go in.
"Why is it inappropriate? The girls' banquet is in the hall on the left, and the princess has a separate table on the right, separated by a screen!"
The flower hall of the palace was very large. Xiao Jingzhao turned back to Xiangyang and said, "Go back to Qinghui Courtyard."
Xiang Yang was relieved. As soon as his master entered the flower hall, he turned around and ran away.
Xiao Jingzhao walked into the flower hall. The girls who were chatting and laughing one moment were completely silent the next moment.
The man who came in was tall and tall, with a handsome face, black silk hair, an angular face as graceful as a giant, and deep black eyes with a hint of coldness, giving people a sense of distance that could only be seen from a distance but not close.
Those thick sword eyebrows, high nose, and beautiful lips are like finely carved handicrafts.
Su Jin sat in the corner and followed everyone's gaze.
She was also stunned by the person in front of her. What surprised her was not the impeccable face, but the face that looked like a miniature version of Sui Sui.
The girls looked away shyly after just one glance, their hearts racing. To be able to marry a prince who was like a banished immortal was a blessing acquired over several generations. Some girls secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that the old man would take pity on her. The marriage line was given to myself.
Xiao Jingzhao walked straight towards the screen on the right without squinting his eyes.
"Brother Jingzhao is back?"
Just when the girls were having different thoughts, a clear and beautiful voice sounded. Lin Ruyin left the banquet and went over to bow to Xiao Jingzhao.
"Brother Jingzhao, long time no see."
"Miss Lin, don't be polite, please go back to the table." A group of girls were staring at him, Xiao Jingzhao didn't want to cause misunderstanding.
"Brother Jingzhao, brother will return to Yannan soon."
Xiao Jing nodded slightly and said, "Let him come over and see you as soon as possible when he comes back."
Xiao Jingzhao had an expressionless face and cherished words like gold.
The two chatted awkwardly for a few words. After Xiao Jingzhao turned around and entered the screen, Lin Ruyin had to go back to the table angrily.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Ruyin is not the prince's cup of tea.
After walking into the screen, Xiao Jingzhao saw that his mother-in-law had a smile on her brows and eyes.
"You are finally back. Mother and concubine are waiting impatiently."
The eldest brother Xiao Kang was putting one leg into the bowl in front of the second sister.
"Mother concubine, eldest brother."
"Second brother, do you like...well..." Xiao Yun opened her mouth, and Xiao Kang quickly covered it.
