Chapter 121: Her Royal Highness’s Consort (1)
In the 15th year of Mingde, Princess Chaofeng Lin Lezhi, the only legitimate daughter of the Emperor and the Empress, was attacked by remnants of the rebels while she was out at a temple praying. Her whereabouts were unknown and her life or death was unknown.
The emperor was furious and killed all the rebels, leaving no one alive.
And mobilized the imperial guards to search for the princess.
At this moment, Lin Lezhi was unconscious in a small courtyard of a farmer's house.
This place is extremely remote, sparsely populated, and there are not many families living here.
The family that saved Lin Lezhi was also the one closest to the forest. Their surname was Xie, and they were the only hunters nearby.
There was only one son and an old mother in the family. As for the man, he had been in poor health since they moved here. He died a few years later, leaving behind only an orphan and a widow.
Fortunately, the only son of the Xie family was born strong and learned a few tricks from the old hunter nearby, so his life was not difficult.
My life is no worse than others.
Xie Yingxi was holding two or three wild rabbits and pheasants in his hands and was rushing home.
I have been lucky recently. Although I haven't gone deep into the mountains, I have still had some good harvests just outside.
Now that he not only has his own mother at home, but also a young lady he adopted, Xie Yingxi really doesn't dare to stay in the mountains alone for a few days.
It was just a coincidence that she discovered this person while hunting.
That’s right, in fact, the only daughter of the Xie family is not an only daughter, she is just a girl with supernatural powers.
It is precisely because of this that no one has ever doubted her, and the children of her age all recognize her as the eldest.
I got through this slowly with my mother.
When Xie Yingxi returned, he saw that the young lady Jiao, whom he had rescued, had woken up. She was holding a few papers he had written on her and was slowly flipping through them.
Every move she made was filled with indescribable elegance, as if this was not a shabby little house, but the boudoir of a noble lady.
"You are the one who saved me?"
The sound of Xie Yingxi pushing the door broke the silence in the room. Lin Lezhi looked over and looked at him calmly.
"Sorry." Xie Yingxi subconsciously took two steps back. She did not forget that she was a man now.
Seeing Xie Yingxi's movements, Lin Lezhi said nonchalantly, "Don't be so reserved. You saved me, so you are my savior."
"I should be the one thanking you."
She seemed to be a polite young lady. Xie Yingxi thought to herself that saving people was her original intention, but if she saved a young lady who was unreasonable, it would also give her a headache.
Xie's mother also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person saved was a sensible person, that would be fine.
The Xie family can't afford to weather any storms now.
Xie Yingxi bowed in return and said, "Miss, you are too polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is what I should do."
Holding the paper in his hand, Lin Lezhi asked naturally, "Are you a scholar? Your handwriting is good, and your writing is also good."
She saw the thing in her hand by chance. She didn't know what she was talking about with Xie's mother. When she saw the books on the other desk, she realized that this was actually a scholar's home.
I just flipped through it casually when I had nothing to do, and I didn't expect it to be so well written.
Being a hunter made his mother worried, and there was no way Xie Yingxi would let him be a hunter for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, young lady."
"If I say it's good, then it's good. You don't have to be so modest."
As the only legitimate daughter of the current emperor and empress, Lin Lezhi has had everything she wants since she was a child. No matter what situation she is in, she will never let herself say anything against her will.
"If you take the imperial examination, you will definitely be on the list, but if you want to achieve better results, you have to work harder."
My father is pragmatic, and the articles written by this person are all reasonable and meaningful.
But there is another point: he grew out of this land and took root in the earth, but ultimately his vision was limited by this land.
"Please enlighten me, young lady."
Xie Yingxi has never been a person who thinks highly of herself. She knows her own shortcomings, and now that there is such a "famous teacher" in front of her, she certainly cannot miss it.
She can earn money by herself and read books by herself, but the only thing is that she can’t find a good teacher by chance.
The teacher's ability is limited, and no matter how eager Xie Yingxi is to learn, he can do nothing.
As for Xie's mother, it can only be said that she listens to Xie Yingxi very much. She knows that she is not capable enough and can only hope that she will not hold Xier back.
He is a smart person.
From the beginning to now, Lin Lezhi has had a very good impression of Xie Yingxi.
Although this person saved her, his eyes were clear and his behavior was measured.
I took his article, but not only did I not feel angry, I even wanted to ask her for advice.
That's really interesting.
As a princess, Lin Lezhi met countless outstanding men.
But there is only one thing: they agree with their status, appearance and talent, but when it comes to "proper" things like writing essays for the imperial examinations, they think that these are the natural things for men.
It's really annoying to watch.
I became interested and decided to give some pointers.
Xie Yingxi's eyes became brighter and brighter. After listening to her, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. I have finally understood everything after listening to your words today."
Lin Lezhi was naturally very happy to receive sincere praise from others.
"You're not bad either, at least you're much better than those people in the capital who are just seeking fame and reputation."
Xie Yingxi was naturally careful. The fact that the young lady in front of him dared to say such words showed that her identity was indeed extraordinary.
Xie's mother used to know a few words and had heard her husband read articles. She thought it was great that she had saved this girl.
"Thank you for your guidance and instruction to my son. You are now awake, so if you need anything, just let me know."
Xie's mother is also a kind and gentle person, but she really didn't know what to talk about at the beginning.
But as long as you are nice to Xier, she will instinctively be nice to her.
Lin Lezhi softened her gaze. She felt the same feelings towards Xie's mother as she did towards her mother, the Queen Mother.
That is the unconditional love for your children.
Although Lin Lezhi had never experienced the current situation before, she was not a person who would make trouble for no reason.
She took out her jewelry and handed it to Xie's mother, saying, "I didn't bring any money with me when I went out, so take this."
When she woke up, she found that all her belongings and jewelry were still there and were neatly placed aside.
Lin Lezhi also knew that although his injuries were not serious, he had seen a doctor and did not touch his jewelry, so they were spending their own money.
She is a princess, but she is not so stingy.
Seeing Xie Yingxi accept it, Lin Lezhi liked him more and more.
