Chapter 221: Finally arrived at the closed city (2)
Jingyi understood!It turned out that the Yuanxi people had already had a rough idea of ​​the situation there before they arrived in Fengcheng. "Tell me first, what kind of place is the city closed?"

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, sat on the soft couch, and signaled Jing Yi to sit down too. "The closed city is the poorest place in Dayuan. I'm afraid you have heard of it. Not only are there few people there, but because the weather is relatively dry, the harvest is naturally very poor for farmers who depend on the weather. Also, apart from us Han people, there are many other races gathering there! The reason why the city is closed down is impoverished, which has a lot to do with these foreign races."

Jingyi nodded and said: "I've heard of this too. I heard that the foreigners there reject the Han people very much! Normally, the Han people are not allowed to step into their territory."

"That's right! That's why it's even more difficult! It's also because there are so many tribes that there are often fights. In the history of my Dayuan, there have been more than a dozen records of conflicts between foreigners and Han people. This It’s better to say, the big deal is that we don’t associate with them. What’s worse, the gentry of the aristocratic families there are all very smart! They all have strong backers behind them!”

"Aristocratic gentry?" Jingyi asked, "Is it possible that a small closed city is more complicated than the capital?"

Yuanxi smiled bitterly and said: "Yiyi, don't underestimate this closed city, it is a must-pass through the north and south! Although the people are poor, some aristocratic families are quite rich. It's just that they are stingy and reluctant to use it. It's just in the city lock."

Jingyi nodded, "I understand this. Miser! Don't worry! When we get there, we can think of another way. As long as your personal soldiers can succeed as soon as possible, all problems will not be a problem."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Yes! It's just how can a personal soldier be trained in a day or two?"

Jingyi thought for a while and said, "No hurry! I have a solution."

"any solution?"

Jingyi smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you yet. I'll tell you after I get to the closed city and see what's going on there."

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? It seems that my little princess is still a female Zhuge!"

Jing Yi smiled lightly, and asked: "Can you tell me that tomorrow, we will be able to receive news from the palace?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Almost! Don't tell me that you didn't do anything when you entered the palace this time!"

Jingyi smiled lightly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. When I was taking her pulse, I put some small amount of medicine on her clothes. It is estimated that it will be effective tomorrow."

Sure enough, news came the next day that Princess Li Jing's symptoms suddenly worsened!The hospital is helpless!The Queen came to the Baihe Palace in person, and almost summoned all the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to the Baihe Palace to treat the little princess, but they were all speechless.

The queen was helpless, and finally ordered to dismiss all the imperial physicians and maidservants, leaving only Princess Ming and the two nuns beside the queen.

In Prince Ping's mansion, Si Qin was standing opposite Jing Yi and reported in a low voice: "Princess Wang, my subordinates have already made arrangements. After we leave Beijing tomorrow, the rumors about Li Jing being an idiot and being forcibly fed with feces will come to light." Spread quickly in the capital."

Jingyi nodded. "I heard that Li Jing has woken up?"

"Yes! It's just because I haven't eaten well for several days, so I'm exhausted, and I'm recuperating now."

"Well. So, let her rest. By the way, where is Yuanxi?"

"My lord is arranging some affairs in the study to prepare for leaving Beijing tomorrow." Si Qin replied.

Jingyi nodded. "Then Guining today, does the prince have time to go together?"

Si Qin shook her head and said, "This, my subordinate didn't ask."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't ask. Let's clean up ours first. Mother He, you have to take care of all my calligraphy and paintings for me, so don't stain them."

He Nanny smiled and said: "Yes! Miss, just now I came to reply on the first day of the lunar new year, saying that the prince has already prepared all the things that Miss Guining needs. Now it is loading the car."

"Yes. Got it. By the way, have you put away the red agate bracelet I gave you yesterday?"

"Miss, don't worry, the servant has found a strong box and put it away. Now put it at the bottom of your cage."

Only then did Jingyi reassure herself and said: "That's good. Anyway, it's something used by the queen. It must be very valuable, but I'm just too timid to wear it. When I get back to the closed city, I'll let Brother Qingtian take care of it." Take a look, is there any problem? If not, I can rest assured that it will still be useful to win over the wives and ladies of some aristocratic families when the city is closed."

Si Qin was puzzled and said, "Such an agate bracelet can't hide anything, what tricks can it have?"

Jing Yi said with a light smile: "Women in the palace always have deep thoughts, let alone the one with the highest ranking in the palace! Be careful, it's always right."

Mother He agreed: "Miss is right, it's always good to be careful."

Haitang lifted the curtain and came in: "Miss, the lord said that everything is ready, let's see if the lady is dressed up, and I will go home with you."

Jingyi hurriedly got up and said: "Aren't I waiting for him? It turned out that he was urging me. Let's go, don't make mother wait."

It stands to reason that Guining, also known as Huimen of the Three Dynasties, means that on the third day of their marriage, the newlyweds bring gifts to the woman’s home to visit and visit relatives. The woman’s family must also prepare a banquet at this time. The real guarantee is made, and the man must send a gift to the matchmaker to express his gratitude.Most of them are sons-in-law, and some high-ranking and powerful people will not accompany the bride back home.Because the status is there, if you don't go, you won't be protested by the father-in-law's family.Especially for wives with lower family backgrounds, the man will generally not go with him.And Yuan Xi is Prince Ping, with his dignity as a prince, he can not accompany Jing Yi back to the door, plus tomorrow he will leave Beijing, if Yuan Xi does not go, no one will say anything.But Pian Yuanxi insisted on going!This is a kind of affirmation to Jingyi and Pingnan Hou Mansion, and it gives them a great face!

When the two arrived at the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Gu was already waiting in the front hall.As soon as the two of them came in, the tears couldn't stop falling!

"Mother! What's wrong with mother? Isn't my daughter all right?" Jingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Shi's arm.

And the old man, Su Wei and others were about to salute Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said: "My son-in-law salutes my grandfather and father-in-law."

Su Wei was taken aback for a moment, Yuan Xi meant that he only talked about seniority, regardless of status.

The old man smiled and said, "Good! Good! Good boy! Come on, sit inside."

Su Qing and Su Ming sat with the family around Yuanxi in a lively manner.
