Chapter 131: Kneeling at midday

Hearing that Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows and glared at Uncle Guo, "Uncle Guo, you are wrong to say that, what is fuss? Is it very common to have the same name as a signature dish? Is the thought in your heart the same as my mind? I think it’s the same, so why didn’t Uncle Guo’s Deqing Building come up with the name of the signature dish before me?

Uncle Guo's beard trembled and pointed to Ji Lingxue's nose. No one dared to talk to him like that.
"Also, I want to emphasize that I smashed your shop not because there is exactly the same signature dish, but because your people hired gangsters to smash my shop and hurt my people. My chef tried to grab Back to the recipe, even half of the palm was cut..."
"You know how important a pair of hands is to a chef, you know that without these hands, she will no longer be a cook, can no longer hold a knife, no income, I smashed your shop for them Be fair, and there is no one who hurt you, at least I am more ethical."
"You...you..." Are you a yellow-haired girl daring to insult Chaozhong Dayuan in front of the emperor?
In front of the emperor, Uncle Guo didn’t say the second half of the sentence. He shook his finger at Ji Lingxue’s nose and was speechless for a long time. The next moment he knelt down and knelt in front of Xiao Yimo and cried,
The emperor. , The emperor, the minister was wronged, the minister absolutely did not send any gangsters to Qingfeng Yashe to make trouble, perhaps it was because of the envy of those people who did wrong, the emperor atonerated the crime, the minister was not strict... Knowing the truth is fair to Princess Chen."
Xiao Yimo nodded and agreed. He was not easy to handle this matter. On the one hand, he was the queen’s elder brother, and on the other was the younger brother who made a lot of merits. Down the stairs, this matter can be considered as an explanation.
Xiao Yimo said: "Well, I will give you three days to find out that this matter is pleading guilty to Princess Chen. Princess Chen, you are also a little impulsive in doing things. No matter how angry you are, you can't just take people into other shops and affect yourself. Not to mention the image, you almost let your prince take the blame for you."
Ji Lingxue turned his head to look at Xiao Yichen, who was standing aside, and did not see any unhappiness from his face.
Xiao Yimo continued to reprimand: "Princess Chen, do you know your fault?"
Ji Lingxue bowed her head and knelt on the ground to plead guilty and said: "Please be punished by the emperor." This Xiao Yimo called her a "younger and younger sister" when there were no outsiders around. Now she is holding the prince's arrogance, which is really unsuitable.
Xiao Yimo nodded and said: "Then I will punish you to kneel at the door of Wu for half a day." He waved his hand and signaled that all three of them were going out. He had been quarreled all morning, and nothing was quiet.
Xiao Yichen pulled Ji Lingxue to ask An to retire, and Uncle Guo slowed them out of the Imperial Study Room.
At the entrance of Wumen, Ji Lingxue honestly knelt on the ground, with the scorching sun above his head, and Xiao Yichen and Uncle Guo greeted each other in greeting.
Ji Lingxue rolled his eyes at the sky, this uncle of the country can really pretend, probably after a long time in the officialdom, he has been so slick and exquisite. He was aggrieved in front of the emperor the moment before, leaving the palace to be a noble uncle.
As soon as Uncle Guo left, Xiao Yichen was left standing beside Ji Lingxue. Ji Lingxue raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yichen, "Master, the sun is very big, you should go back."
The emperor punished her to kneel alone, and he couldn't accompany her in the sun.
Xiao Yichen twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, this temper was quite big.
Xiao Yichen turned and strode away, Ji Lingxue turned to look at Xiao Yichen's back and curled his lips.
Just as Ji Lingxue was kneeling and her legs were weak, and the sun above her head was dizzy, suddenly a shadow enveloped her, did the sun enter the clouds?
Ji Lingxue raised her head and saw an oil-paper umbrella covering her head. Xiao Yichen was holding the umbrella and looking at him with a smile. At that moment, the wind was light and the wind blew Ji Lingxue's sweaty hair, blowing her throbbing heart.
"Why are you back again?" Ji Lingxue asked for a long time.
"With you!" Xiao Yichen stood upright, motionless under the umbrella.
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "Thanks."
The two stood and knelt for two hours before the came to preach: "Princess Chen, get up, the emperor said that you have a good attitude to admit your mistakes, so go back to rest earlier."
Ji Lingxue nodded, her body froze, Xiao Yichen stepped forward and helped Ji Lingxue, handed the oil paper umbrella in her hand to her, and hugged her sideways.
Ji Lingxue held the umbrella with one hand, wrapped her head on Xiao Yichen's neck with the other hand, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Although she felt wronged, she was very warm. At this moment, Xiao Yichen made her feel that she was dependent.
Xiao Yichen hugged Ji Lingxue all the way back to the palace. On the way, many passers-by murmured and looked sideways. She didn't know what these people said.
Chen Wangfu, Yilan Yard, Xiao Yichen put Ji Lingxue on the bed, dismissed Mo Xiang, and personally massaged Ji Lingxue's numb feet with extremely gentle movements.
Ji Lingxue, who was silent for a long time, asked: "Aren't you angry?" Anyway, she caused a big disaster today, offending the most powerful uncle of the country at the time, and recruiting him an extra enemy.
Xiao Yichen raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Lingxue, then smiled: "My women are used to messing around with this king. With this king, whoever bullies you in the future, you will come back and this king will support you."
Ji Lingxue smiled, "But I offended Uncle Guo today. The emperor will naturally have trouble with him, so you can't make small actions in your back.
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and pinched the tip of Ji Lingxue's nose, "In fact, we have offended the uncle Guo a long time ago."
Ji Lingxue blinked, "Huh?!"
Seeing Ji Lingxue’s cute and awkward expression, Xiao Yichen pecked Ji Lingxue’s red lips with a heartbeat, and then said:
Remember the underground gambling house in the west of the city, which is also the capital of the country’s uncle, but was copied by the king. Now, all confiscated, he dares to be angry but dare not speak."
Ji Lingxue rolled her eyes and said, "What does Uncle Guo want to do with so much private property, so that he is not afraid of the emperor?"
Xiao Yichen nodded: "It was the emperor who knew that the uncle of the country had a lot of private property, and allowed this king to copy a few confiscated at will. Besides, today, the reason why the emperor punished you to kneel at Wumen was to give the uncle of the country an explanation. Uncle, he has already punished you. If he makes any other minor actions, he will not tolerate it."
Ji Lingxue said so, it turned out that there are so many thoughts hidden in the emperor's words.
Ji Lingxue said: "It seems that the emperor is partial to me, hehe, he didn't cook for nothing and bribed the wrong person. Next time I will cook more delicious food, thank him."
Hearing that Ji Lingxue wanted to make good food to bribe other men, his face went dark, "Ji Lingxue, you are really..." It's really eating inside and out!
Ji Lingxue took Xiao Yichen's hand and shook it, "Master, I'm tired, let me sleep." She yawned.
Xiao Yichen twitched the corners of his mouth, which meant that he would come to the end.
Xiao Yichen said: "This king doesn't like to clean up the mess. If you can give me some benefits, you can consider it."
Ji Lingxue took Xiao Yichen's face and kissed him without saying a word. He blinked and said, "Master, please!"
Xiao Yichen suddenly took Ji Lingxue's neck and kissed deeply...
Half an hour later, Xiao Yichen walked out of Ji Lingxue's room contentedly, the softness between his eyebrows still not gone.
In the study, Chi Feng was waiting early, and when he saw Xiao Yichen coming, he immediately greeted him, "Master, you are back."
Xiao Yichen recovered his face and nodded, "How are things going?"
Chi Feng nodded, "After the princess was summoned into the palace by the eunuch, the subordinates locked the cook and the gangster in a safe place, so that the uncle Guo would not have a chance to kill others."
Xiao Yichen gave Chi Feng a approving look, "Good job."
Chi Feng continued, "Master, I have something to tell you..."
Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, he was hesitant to speak, did he encounter something serious?
Chi Feng immediately said: "After the princess entered the palace, his subordinates found a teahouse to drink tea. I didn't expect someone to spread the message that the princess was not the daughter of Ji Baichuan, lord, if this is true, I am afraid that it will be harmful to the princess."
Xiao Yichen frowned, "Can you find out who is spreading the rumors behind?"
Chi Feng shook his head and opened the door to bring the storyteller in. The gray beard of the storyteller trembled even more after seeing Xiao Yichen, "The prince... the prince, the young one is just a storyteller and entertainment, and he doesn't mean to discredit the princess."
Xiao Yichen's cold eyes deepened, "Who made you say that?"
The storyteller stubbornly said: "Yes... someone else gave me a hundred taels of silver and gave me a drawing book to tell me to follow the instructions above, this silver is free of charge, so I read it accordingly. ."
Xiao Yichen spread his hands and asked the storyteller to hand over the drawing book. The storyteller nodded and immediately took out the painting book from his arms and gave it to Xiao Yichen.
While Xiao Yichen was flipping through the painting book, Chi Feng asked, "Who are you talking about?"
The storyteller said with a bitter face: "The man wears a mask and can't see his face clearly. He is as tall as you and has an accent... I don't remember the accent. He doesn't speak Chinese fluently and he stutters.
Chi Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, just this bit of information is nothing short of a ghost!
Xiao Yichen glanced at the painting book, then raised his hand, the book in his hand was crumpled in his palm, and when he looked at it again, it turned into pieces of fly ash floating in the wind.
The corners of the storyteller's mouth were trembling, and the eyes looking at Xiao Yichen became horrified and awed, and his legs and feet trembled, "Master, what the young man said is true, and he didn't lie."
Xiao Yichen laughed suddenly, "Tomorrow's book, do you think you want to say it?"
Mr. Storyteller felt a chill in his neck and nodded vigorously, "I think...I think..." He doesn't want to become fly ash, can he say it well.
Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "That's good. Tomorrow, the king and the princess will go to the teahouse to listen to your story. Chi Feng, let the old gentleman live in the palace, which is good for hospitality."
"Yes." Chi Feng dragged the weak storyteller and walked out.
For a moment, the royal guard said respectfully outside the door: "The prince, Shao catches his head to see him, saying that the case of the faceless female corpse is progressing."
