Chapter 2023 Dragon and Phoenix
Mingxi is not interested in causing any grievances to the people on this boat, he wants to leave with Huohuang and the others, but Mio'er is hungry at this time, so Mingxi has no choice but to stay and let her eat first before talking.
He regretted a little, walking around the rivers and lakes with a snack, he should have stuffed a cook in the space.
Mingxi didn't like to deal with strangers, Xu Jinbei didn't force it, and Bai Luoshan couldn't disobey him because he recognized Mingxi's identity.
There was finally a little peace.
"Master Mingxi, don't take Madam Lei's words to heart. We are really grateful that you saved us." Xu Jinbei said in a low voice.
"Why are you here?" Ming Xi asked indifferently, he naturally didn't pay attention to irrelevant people, no matter what the other party said, he couldn't hear him.
Xu Jinbei said, "After my grandfather retires, he wants to go back to his hometown for the elderly. I sent my grandfather back to Wuling. I originally planned to go on a study tour for a few years. After receiving Lin Yanbei's letter, I decided to return to Kyoto first. Unexpectedly, I met Lin Yanbei on the way. It's your turn."
"Is Mr. Xu healthy?" Mingxi asked, he remembered Mr. Xu, he was a very wise old man.
"It's pretty tough." Xu Jinbei said with a smile, "Master Mingxi is going back to the capital city?"
Ming Xi said, "No, to go to Tianjin City, Mio'er and the others don't like to go by water, and they will go by land after crossing the Bailong River."
Xu Jinbei was silent for a while when he heard the words. Although he was in Wuling, he had heard about the things in the capital. When Mingxi and the others suddenly disappeared, and now the emperor is enthroned as the new emperor, almost everyone thinks that Mo Rongzhan and the others are It is impossible to come back, but they appeared four years later.
He heard that the original emperor had no intention of fighting for the throne, but returned to live in the Prince Qin's mansion, and he would always call himself the King of Qin in the future.
Even so, Xu Jinbei felt that no matter what King Qin's status was, as long as he was in the capital, Jin Kingdom would still change.
And Myung Hee...
He was the only legitimate heir to the throne of Jin Kingdom.
"Aren't you going back to the capital city?" Xu Jinbei asked in a low voice.
"Mingyu is still in the capital, why don't I go back." Mingxi smiled faintly.
Thinking of Princess Mingyu, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xu Jinbei's mouth, "That's right."
"You have a good relationship with the Lei family?" Mingxi asked.
"Oh, no." Xu Jinbei explained, "Master Bai is a student of grandfather. I met him at the ferry, and he invited me to go with him because we were on the same road. The Lei family is old friends with him. I heard Mr. Bai mentioned that Mrs. Lei took Miss Lei to her mother's house in the capital city, preparing...to participate in the palace draft."
Mingxi was taken aback, "A draft?"
"You don't know yet? There have been rumors from the court that the emperor will be drafted into the palace next year. This is the first time the emperor has been on the throne for four years, so..." Xu Jinbei coughed lightly. They are preparing, especially if they have girls of the right age at home, they are all preparing to show their demeanor in front of the emperor next year.
"I've never heard of it." Ming Xi smiled lightly. Murong Ke is finally willing to draft, is he finally thinking about it?
Xu Jinbei suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that the pirates have something to do with Miss Lei's entry into the palace for the draft?"
"How do you say?" Mingxi raised his eyebrows and asked, isn't it just a draft? As for the big fight to get pirates and arrest people.
"It may be related to Lei Bingfu, the eldest lady of the Lei family. I heard a lot about this Miss Lei when I was in Wuling. I heard that when she was born, there were birdsong everywhere. She could read at the age of two, and at the age of three. It was a good word, and some eminent monks sent her two comments, the whole building of 3,000 Tengyunfeng, the four seasons, the blue sky, the green dragon, the Lei family... probably think that Miss Lei has a bright future, so she is well protected, this time she is specially sent to Jingdu City participated in the draft, and someone probably knew about it." Xu Jinbei said, hearing what the pirates said, it seems that the target is the girl from the Lei family.
A faint cold light flashed in Mingxi's eyes. It is not known whether Lei Bingfu can ascend the clouds and become a phoenix and become a dragon, but there will definitely be a bloody battle in the capital city soon.
I hope this incident will not affect Mingyu.
Murong Ke has not married a wife for many years, there should be many people who hope to become a queen.
I don't know if Miss Lei's expectation is so high. Judging by Mrs. Lei's arrogant attitude, she almost regards herself as the queen's mother.
Huohuang and Mio'er, who had been eating their heads full all the time, raised their heads at the same time.
"It depends on who and what, you want Tengyunfeng, and you want Bihualong?" Huohuang bit the flesh and said inarticulately, "You think too much."
One phoenix and one dragon said hehe.
Mingxi said softly, "Eat your food."
Mio'er rubbed her stomach, "Mingxi, I'm full."
"Come here for a cup of tea." Seeing Mio'er's chubby belly, Ming Xi sighed softly in his heart, and asked her to drink a cup of tea.
"I don't like to drink tea, I'll go outside for a walk." Mio'er said with a smile, after a walk, I can have another meal when I come back.
...
...
On the other side of the cabin, a mother and daughter were also talking.
"Fortunately, those pirates didn't see you, otherwise they would have snatched you away." The voice sounded familiar, it was Mrs. Lei who was very arrogant on the deck just now.
"Mother, don't scare yourself, they don't necessarily come after me." It was a young woman who spoke, her voice sounded melodious, like an oriole singing, very comfortable and pleasant to hear.
Mrs. Lei said in a low voice, "Why not? You didn't listen to what the pirate leader said. Some people asked them to rob people. Could it be that some people are afraid that you will overwhelm them in the limelight in the capital city, so they should act first."
"Don't worry, people now only think of me as an ugly maid, they won't treat me as Lei Bingfu." Lei Bingfu whispered, who would have thought that Lei Bingfu would drop her status and become a maid, And Miss Lei who is in front of people now is the servant.
"You've been thinking a lot since you were a child, and it's been so many years. I thought that what the monk said back then could not be true, but I didn't expect that the emperor really wanted to draft." Mrs. Lei said and laughed, "It's really your luck. "
Lei Bingfu smiled slightly, yes, she also thought it was too late, she woke up and knew that she would have an extraordinary life, how could she simply marry an ordinary man and live such a boring life like Mrs Lei .
That's not what she wanted.
"By the way, mother, do you know who that young man is? Master Bai and Mr. Xu seem to be very polite to him." Lei Bingfu asked in a low voice, "He must have a different identity, so you should be more polite to him. "
"I know, I have asked your uncle to ask Mr. Bai." Mrs. Lei said.
Lei Bingfu nodded slightly, and looked up at the night sky outside the window. In her opinion, none of the other beautiful girls would be her match.
Her only rival is the girl who lives in the palace now.
Princess Mingyu.
