Rebirth of the Blind

Xia finally lifted the ban, and Master Li continued his mission, bringing some stereotypes that had been fixed.

He said teasingly: "I don't know if the young master has forgotten the words taught a while ago?"

Caressing the traces of the inscription on the board, "Master Li, I review it every day, and I never forget it." It took two lifetimes to learn this once, so how could he be lazy and let it go to waste?

Mr. Li stroked his beard, smiled and said with satisfaction: "That's good." If the second prince had half the intentions of the person in front of him, he wouldn't be in the situation he is today.Thinking of his only disciple, Li Chong had a trace of regret on his face, "My lord, after learning these rigid words in the past two days, I want to teach you some knowledge from books."

"Is it okay?" There seemed to be a gleam of joy in the dull eyes.

Seeing Xia's happy face, Xiao Xizi couldn't help feeling a little worried.Li Chong is the grand tutor, and the knowledge he teaches is some principles of governing the country. Will he teach the young master the principles that have nothing to do with state affairs?

The harem is not allowed to study or participate in political matters, which has always been a rule in the palace.

"En." Li Chong nodded in satisfaction, and got back to the topic.

When other people were not paying attention, Xiao Xizi sneaked a worried look at a remote place, saw a piece of black satin cloth behind the base of the wall, pursed her lips and immediately looked away.

Favors are always owed, but only once.That little introduction was too scary, and he wasn't sure if the little introduction would notice it.

Xiao Dezi was sharpening the useless inkstone, while remembering every word Li Chong said, while Xiao Yinzi followed Xiao Xizi's gaze with sharp eyes, and secretly wrote it down.

Wei Yan presented the memorial that had just arrived, and said to the emperor, who was reviewing it, and his eyes were obviously black and blue: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" He asked without raising his head, and his eyes never left the memorial.

"Young Master Xia's foot injury has been found out that day."

Stopped writing, "Oh? I told you to deal with it directly, you don't need to report to me." Knowing that Wei Yan would not forget, "Who is the other party?"

Wei Yan leaned forward and whispered a few words, the corners of Ling Yuancheng's cold lips gradually curled up, "Things are really getting more and more interesting, since this is the case—" After saying a few words to Wei Yan, the corners of Ling Yuancheng's lips curled up. The arc is getting bigger and bigger.He originally wanted to never show that person in that position, but now that he thought about it, he couldn't.

At noon, when Li Chong went back to his residence for dinner, Xiao Xizi took Xiao Dezi to the imperial dining room, while Xiao Yinzi was invited away by a little eunuch who came from nowhere.

Xia touched a cup, poured a cup of tea, heard the sound of water, and stopped immediately.

One hand took the teapot away without warning, and he raised his head in surprise.

"Xiaoxizi?" After saying that, she felt wrong, because Xiaoxizi had just left not long ago, "Are you...?"

The man in the black brocade robe with the red line outlining the edge of his neck put down the teapot, "It's me."

Even though I haven't heard this voice for a while, Xia can still hear it, "Eighth Prince, why are you here?"

The man didn't answer him, Xia was very used to it, regardless of whether he was facing the direction or not, he smiled at the other party, then got up and reached forward, counting steps step by step, walked to a bookcase, opened the drawer and took Out of a stack of stereotypes, he held them all in his arms and walked back. He didn't touch the obstacle with his hands, so he didn't take a step and used his toes to explore the way forward.After a while, all the things in his hands were taken away.

"I can." Xia said softly.

Ling Qi didn't reply any more, just silently put the stack of stereotypes in his hand on the table, then walked to Xia's side, took his hand and sat down on the chair.

"Eighth Prince, I learned a lot of new characters when you went to Qin Yucheng." Xia said with a smile on his face.

"kindness."

Xia almost said one sentence after another, Ling Qi was only responsible for sitting and listening, the time passed quickly, Ling Qi looked at the time, thinking that those eunuchs should be back soon.

"Is the Eighth Prince leaving?" Xia asked when she heard Ling Qi's voice sitting up.

"En." He took out the same box from his sleeve and put it in Xia's hand, "This king brought it back from Qin Yucheng. This king will come to see you next time."

Touching the smooth texture on the box, Xia nodded and said, "En."

Ling Qi looked at Xia for a long time, but still didn't say the purpose of coming today.

He didn't like saying goodbye after all.

Xiao Xizi secretly quickened his pace, but no matter how fast he walked, Xiao Dezi who was carrying the food box could immediately follow him and walk side by side with him, which made him want to run.

I don't know if the Eighth Prince is gone, but if Xiao Yinzi bumps into him, then things will be fine! ?Seeing that he was about to arrive, Xiao Xizi suddenly pointed to the sky, and found that Xiao Dezi hadn't looked up at him at all. He rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Dezi who was walking in front, "Xiao Dezi, let's compete who can run better!"

"I still have a food box in my hand." Xiao Dezi said sullenly.

"It's because you have a food box in your hand! Look, if you run faster than me and the food in the food box is not spilled, how can I dare to speak loudly to you in the future?" After saying 'start', he started running.

Xiao Dezi looked helplessly at the people running ahead, and continued walking at his original speed while carrying the food box.

Xiao Xizi eagerly pushed open the door and ran in. After walking half a circle, she found that Xia was the only one who was relieved, "Huh—"

"Xiao Xizi?"

"Yes, young master, we can eat in a while." Putting down a big stone, Xiao Xizi naturally smiled, and accidentally caught a touch of vermilion in his eyes, "Young master, what is it in your hand?"

Xia rolled her eyes, "It was a gift from someone else."

Xiao Xizi took a glance outside and saw that Xiao Dezi was about to come in, and hurriedly snatched the box from Xia's hand, "Young Master, I will put it away for you first, so that I won't disappear in a while."

The box was snatched away in an instant, Xia was stunned for a while, and belatedly replied: "En."

Then came Xiao Dezi who stepped into the house.It was rare for Xiao Dezi to raise his head, glanced in Xiao Xizi's direction, and then put the food box on the table, "My lord, today's dishes are relatively light."

"kindness."

After smelling the aroma of the vegetables, Xia, who was already a little hungry, picked up the chopsticks, but before he could pick up the chopsticks, he heard several people stepping into the room together.

Put the chopsticks back in place and wait without saying a word.

Xiao Yinzi came in behind Wei Yan, Wei Yan looked at the dishes that had been placed, and said to Xiao Xizi and the others: "Remove the lunch." Then he bowed to Xia, " My son, Your Majesty wants you to have dinner in the Empress Dowager's palace, please go with the slave."

Queen Mother?Doesn't the queen mother hate him very much?He still remembered the Queen Mother saying she would pull out his tongue.He said to Wei Yan with a look of embarrassment: "Eunuch Wei... I feel a little sick to my stomach, can... can I not go?" After speaking, Xia became at a loss.Since when can he say these excuses so easily?In the end, he also... drifted like this?

How could Wei Yan not know Xia's thoughts, "My lord, this servant will follow your orders. Since His Majesty asks this servant to take you there, this servant will definitely take you there. My lord, let's go."

Doesn't that work?

Xia already felt that something was wrong. Normally, if His Majesty let him go during the day, he would have Wei Yan prepare a sedan chair for him, just to prevent more people from knowing about his blindness. But this time... Wei Yan was the whole process. Let him pull his sleeves away.

His sensitive hearing could clearly pick up the whispers of the maids and eunuchs along the way. It seemed that everyone in the palace would know the fact that he was blind starting tomorrow.

"My lord, Jinlan Palace is here." Wei Yan pulled Xia's hand away from his cuff, and seeing Xia's panicked expression, Wei Yan said, "My lord, just walk ten steps forward and lift your feet, and then go straight ahead." Let's go, slaves can't follow in."

"Eunuch Wei..."

Knowing what Xia wanted to say, Wei Yan said directly: "My lord, please."

With no choice, Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in, nervously counting the steps under his feet. After he was not knocked down by the threshold, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed before he dared to move on.There seemed to be not many people in the Empress Dowager's Palace, so he didn't hear many discussions, but only heard a muffled groan from the Empress Dowager.

Since arriving at Jinlan Palace, Jiang Qianxue, who had lowered her head and smiled all the time, raised her head when she heard the empress dowager's muffled snort. Seeing that the eyes of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager sitting opposite were all looking in the same direction, she followed along. .

The man in the unattractive clothes and the simple curly hair walked a little strangely, never raised his head, focused on his feet, and almost every time he took a step, the toes would tap a step forward.

His Majesty who was sitting across from him evoked a smile, then left the table and walked towards that person.From that moment, Jiang Qianxue knew that the man who walked strangely was the most favored man after Concubine Lan in recent days, and the only one with a title in His Majesty's harem so far—male favorite.She only heard that this male favorite is very low-key, he rarely appears in front of people, and usually stays in his own palace when he doesn't serve His Majesty, but now that he appears in the Empress Dowager's palace, it is thought-provoking.

When His Majesty held the hand of the male favorite, the queen mother slapped the table in a rage, and saw the man raised his head in astonishment, with a flattered expression on his face.At the same time, the moment the man raised his head, Jiang Qianxue could see the man's face clearly.

It seems...very familiar?

Until His Majesty led the man closer and closer, the face that was easily buried in the palace coupled with those dull gray eyes reminded her of a male favorite she met a few days ago.

That person... his eyes were also so dark, and he was blind.It's just that the person claimed to be from Fenglan Palace, so how could it be...

When she was still in a dazed state, she heard the queen mother sneer and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to have the face to bring this person to Ai's house."

"Mother, this is the only son I have a title at present. I am about to become a noble concubine now, so I should let him see it anyway."

"Oh, look? What do you use to look at it?!" Looking at Xia's cute face with disgust, "Ai Jia thought you would hide him forever."

"The queen mother is serious. How could I hide him? It's because he doesn't like to go out. In order to let him go out once, I took great pains."

After receiving the gaze from the queen mother, Jiang Qianxue drank a cup of tea in wonder.

She always thought that her younger sister would be promoted by the queen mother, but she didn't expect it to fall on her own head. She was extremely depressed, and she didn't want to intervene in the rift between her majesty and the queen mother.
