wait for another year

Chapter 25

Zhizhi's expression was still indifferent, "Then I will trouble the princess to prescribe a prescription."

Zhao Xu smiled, and wrote a few lines with the pen and paper in hand, Baihu next to him took it, and presented it to Zhiji with both hands respectfully.

Although the trifoliate thorn cannot be seen by the eyes, it can read seven or eight eight by just touching it with hands. A smile appeared on the stern face, "Princess is merciful."

Xuanyuan Hui couldn't talk to each other, so he just sat quietly on the sidelines and observed the situation, seeing that things were about the same now, Zhizhi looked tired again, and said: "The night is dark, I'd better take my leave first, so as not to delay my master's rest."

Zhizhi nodded, and Zhao Xu stood up, "I won't see you off."

When he was about to go out, Xuanyuan Hui glanced back, only to see Zhizhi was still leaning on the bedside like a clay figure, not a bit angry.

"What you wrote just now, is it the real prescription or..."

Zhao Xu raised her eyebrows, "Anyway, it can cure diseases, so what does it matter if it's a prescription or not?"

"I really don't understand you scholars, you have to be mysterious and gossip about things that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences." Xuanyuan Hui muttered in a low voice.

Zhao Xu didn't bother with him either, "The matter of Zhiji is over, I will repair the book and Bai Zhi tomorrow, and ask him to send it over."

"It's just transporting so many people. If the city guard along the way asks, what is the name?"

Yawning with his sleeves on his face, Zhao Xu lightly got into the carriage, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, won't your lord come back?"

Xuanyuan Hui followed, tugging at his sleeves, "Secretly, there must be joints, be honest!"

She didn't want to answer him, so Zhao Xu leaned against the pillow and pretended to be asleep. Xuanyuan Hui was so anxious that she leaned over and chattered in his ear, "Let's talk, it's not a confidential matter, so why not talk about it?"

Being annoyed by him, Zhao Xu pushed him beside him, "I'm afraid of you. After I came to Suzhou, I asked someone else to come forward and bought Liuxianju, and then bought another place... ..."

"what?"

Xuanyuan Hui's blue eyes were wide open, with an innocent look, but Zhao Xu couldn't speak, and murmured: "Uh, the inn."

Xuanyuan Hui burst out laughing, "The brothel is the brothel, such a coquettish attitude makes people think that Nineteen Lang has behaved suspiciously in the past, why, could it be that our Nineteen Lang is the first to enter the Spring Breeze Tower in the capital without showing his face?" Guest of honor?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Xu stretched out his legs and kicked him, "You are a little devil, and the rules of the palace are strict. Who told you these nonsense, you deserve to be dragged out and killed."

Xuanyuan Hui raised his head and said: "Normal princes have already started eating meat at my age, and I am also Concubine Dugu, who is strict in control and begged for a Hedong lion, so..."

Seeing his smug expression, Zhao Xu was furious, and just about to say something, she heard Shouning report from outside the car, "Master Shen handed over a message to see you, but you two are not here, so he left first. ""Shen Mi? It's so late, what is he doing here?" Xuanyuan Hui put away his playful thoughts, frowned and remained silent.

Zhao Xu immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry?"

When the two rushed back to the palace, when they saw Shen Mi, they felt relieved at the same time.

Shen Mi was full of joy, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Hui always stood in front of Shen Mi, and only said indifferently, "Why do you like it?"

Shen Mi took out a gold leaf tube from his sleeve, the mouth of the tube was sealed with wax, and the words "foreign race" were faintly engraved on the wall of the tube.

When Xuanyuan Hui saw it, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly stepped forward to get the gold foil tube, took out a piece of parchment from it, and read it carefully.

"Looks like it's good news for Huihe." Seeing his joyful expression, Zhao Xu smiled a little.

Shen Mi smiled and said: "That's right, when I went to Liuxianju for dinner in the evening, an orchid suddenly approached, sitting on my lap and teasing wantonly. As soon as I realized it, this thing was stuffed in my arms, luckily no one else Be on the left or right, or if my wife hears about it, I won’t be able to eat and walk away.”

Since they are already familiar, Zhao Xu sneered mercilessly, "No wonder I heard Bai Shao say that Mr. Shen is notoriously fearful of internal affairs. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he was afraid."

"Zhao Nineteen!" Xuanyuan Hui looked up at him, pretending to be angry, "You don't pay any attention to military affairs, but you are not ashamed to delve into the details of other people's inner houses."

Zhao Xu pursed her lips and smiled, and pretended to be a blessing, "Your Majesty's words are absurd. I am the concubine Su who was appointed by the imperial court. I don't care about the internal affairs. I take care of important military and political affairs. How about women. The prince used to say that I am virtuous and virtuous, why do you think I am a gossip now?"

He was a man of nearly eight feet in the shape of a woman, it was really ugly, Shen Mi couldn't bear to look at him and turned his head away, secretly regretting that he came here at night.

The corners of Xuanyuan Hui's mouth twitched and he choked out a sentence, "Wangfei is suffering from epilepsy today, why didn't you take your own pulse?"

Zhao Xu said calmly, "Doctors don't heal themselves."

"Let's get down to business, my lord." Shen Mi couldn't see it, and coughed lightly.

Xuanyuan Hui unfolded the letter, and wrote a few neat lines on it in Huihe language, "They have agreed to everything, and we can enjoy the land east of Balikun Lake, south of Tianshan North Road, and north of Juyanhai." The Khan even said that he could order the shepherds here to cover us."

"What is their asking price?"

Xuanyuan Hui's expression darkened, "When I was King Su, I bought [-] horses every year; after the event was completed, I bought [-] horses every year, and exchanged each horse for [-] pieces of silk."

Zhao Xu murmured, "Nowadays, the soldiers are furious, and the business is not bad, but if the overall situation is settled, and the domestic feasts are settled, why do you need so many horses? Then, the prince told them, when you were King Su, you bought 300 horses a year. horses, and when the world is settled, we will do other business with them, and there will be no less than [-] million silks."

"This..." Shen Mi hesitated.

Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously, "You guys are all serious scholars, unlike me who only read random gossip. There are many good things in Huihe, not necessarily horses, don't worry, we won't lose money when the time comes."

Seeing that he was so determined, Xuanyuan Hui also felt relieved, "That's how it is."

Shen Mi bowed and saluted, "So far, no matter whether it is Xizuo, Huihe or Suzhou officials, they have all acted according to the prince's plan. Going forward, you only need to keep a low profile and strive slowly. Within three years, there will be small success. For ten years, why worry about the world being uncertain?"

Zhao Xu also saluted, "Master Shen's words are true, this time is really gratifying."

Xuanyuan Hui helped the two of them up, "Please help me both of you."

Shen Mi said: "I will never give up if I die."

Zhao Xu glanced at him, smiled, and didn't say much.

Taking his hand, Xuanyuan Hui let out a long sigh, "Do everything according to the fate, and only ask for the protection of our ancestors!"
