Chapter Eleven

Phoenix

Qin Jun rubbed her forehead, and was steriously called out of the palace by Qin Kuang early in the morning. She and Concubine Ji were busy planning Yuan Hui, and she hadn't left the palace for several days. She didn't know what happened to Qin Kuang.I waited for a long time until became sleepy and saw no one.

Near noon, the porter came to report that the prince had returned.

Jin Xiu woke Qin Jun up, "Princess."

Qin Jun rubbed her eyes and heard voices coming out of the front hall.I saw two men in a green shirt with wide sleeves and a blue shirt with long robes laughing and walking around the screen wall.

Qin Kuang: "Ask Shangce, obviously it was you who made a fool of yourself first."

The man in the blue shirt and long robe smiled: "It's not me who was punished for drinking ink."

Qin Kuang quickly wiped his mouth in disgust to see if there were any ink marks, "You..."

The man in the blue shirt and long robe suddenly raised his hand to signal Qin Kuang to stop, and stared blankly at the corridor.

Qin Jun was wearing a pink satin jacket, and the long skirt gradually revealed her slightly formed girlish figure. She nodded and smiled, her eyes were reddish, and she saluted, "Fourth brother is back."

For a moment, Qin Jun didn't recognize who was beside Qin Kuang, but looked at Li Wuduan with ignorant eyes, surprised by his expression.

Li Wuduan's eyes turned red, "Jun'er has grown up."

In a remote place in the capital, Ji Si took off her drapery hat and stepped into the courtyard gate.

Uncle King probed and looked behind Ji Si before closing the courtyard door.

The two stepped into the room one after another, and there was a blind doctor waiting for Ji Si.

"That's right, the medicine was still effective last time." The doctor stroked his beard and moved his hand away from Ji Si's wrist.

Ji Si frowned, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, "How long will it take to recover?"

The doctor said: "You have been taking Ruanxiang powder for two years, so you just say yes, and I will dictate a prescription for you. Remember, you have to take this prescription for a month. The medicine prescribed by that quack doctor earlierIt can’t be used anymore, just throw it away. The quack doctor is afraid of hurting your spleen and stomach, and afraid of not being able to cure your internal injuries.Treat it the same way."

Ji Si threw away the handkerchief, withdrew her hand, and remained silent.

The doctor asked: "Have you used your strength?"

Hearing this, Ji Si took a piece of broken silver and flicked it hard. The silver whistled and flew past the doctor's ear with the sound of wind, and nailed it to the pillar behind him.

Ji Si lowered her eyes, looked at her slightly trembling right hand, and frowned deeply.

Uncle King: "Girl?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes, it seems that after taking my medicine for three days, I have recovered 10-20% of my strength, but it will be more difficult to recover as the time goes on."

"Let's make a note of it," said the doctor.

The Uncle King brought out the Four Treasures of the Study from the side.

Ji Si picked up a pen and transcribed the prescription on the paper.

King Kang's Mansion.

"I just arrived yesterday. I just settled in Capital, and the house and servants have to be arranged. Recently, I went to pay homage to see His Majesty. I wanted to come to see you as soon as possible, but my cousin is a foreigner and it is not easy to go to the harem."

"Fortunately, I met the fourth prince before entering the palace. He stopped me and asked you to come out of the palace to see me. I was in a hurry, but I was delayed by other ministers talking on the way." Li Wuduan said a long line, holding the tea and raising his head to drink it.

Qin Jun hummed, didn't know what to say, just poured tea for Li Wuduan, "Are you still thirsty?"

Li Wuduan shook his head, pushed the cup aside, and asked Qin Jun, "Why does Jun'er live in the prince's house and not set up a yard in Capital?"

Qin Jun shook her head, Li Wuduan was stunned, "When I came to Capital, Grandpa repeatedly said that it was his fault that made you not even have a home in Capital."

Qin Kuang was displeased: "Brother Li's words are wrong, the royal family is no longer home?"

Qin Jun quickly shook her head, "Father treats me very well, and my mother and brothers are also very fond of me. Cousin need not be ashamed, and so is grandpa. Well, there are also uncle and aunt."

Li Wuduan sneered, "Silly girl."

On the side, Jin Xiu saluted, "Princess, prince, son, it's time to eat."

Only then did Li Wuduan notice Jin Xiu, and said with a smile, "Sister Jin Xiu?"

Jin Xiu was short, "Your Majesty."

Jin Xiu used to be Li Wuduan's sister-in-law's maidservant, and now she serves Qin Jun again, when Li Wuduan saw her, he remembered her old friend, and felt embarrassed.

The atmosphere was sluggish, Qin Kuang thought for a while, and smiled, "What kind of food are you serving? I recently knew a restaurant with a great reputation. Let's go and have a look?"

Qin Jun bent her lips, "Okay."

Qin Kuang: "Come here, prepare the car!"

After sending the doctor away, Ji Si held tea and asked, "What did the government find out about the burning of the fine jade building?"

Uncle King followed Ji Si, and said, "Just checked and found that the case was closed the day before yesterday. It turns out that the dry weather caused the fire. The bodies of Fang's mother and a few prostitutes were taken away by the family."

Ji Si: "The rest?"

Uncle King: "The prostitutes, all the slaves were brought into the Taifu's mansion, and the bondage was burned, but the governor of Jingzhou went to the household to check the household registration, completed the bondage of the prostitutes, and handed it over to Gong Ziyu.”

"Fang's mother has saved her savings in the mansion store, and used unowned things to fill up the governor of the government and the prince of the household department."

"Is it embarrassing for you?"

Uncle King shook his head: "Young master Yubai got dozens of beautiful prostitutes, and the housekeepers in the house divided into two beautiful prostitutes, and there was no difficulty. After the body check, it was found that the old man was an eunuch, and he beat me up and drove me away."

"This is the old slave's body deed. I asked for some money, and the steward took it out for me." Uncle King handed Ji Si a piece of paper, "Girl accept it."

Ji Si shook her head, took out a bank note and pressed it on the Uncle King's body deed, and said, "Take the slave deed, go to the government to get rid of your humble status and become a commoner."

Uncle King: "This..."

Ji Si pointed a finger at the bank note, "Thank you for finding this doctor, and also thank Uncle King for his kindness in those few days in the fine jade building stable."

The Uncle King took away the bank notes and money, and stood there, "The girl is going to part ways with the old man?"

Ji Si turned her head and said, "I can't repay you for saving your life. If you have anything to do, you can come to me in the future."

Seeing this, Uncle King plopped down and knelt down towards Ji Si, Uncle King glared, with hatred that could not fade away, "Please girl, avenge me."

Ji Si: "I am also a rootless duckweed, how can I help you get revenge?"

The Uncle King kowtowed, "Young lady has an extraordinary bearing, she will surely have a bright future in the future, the old man just wants to stand in front of the young lady, if he finds an enemy in the future, he will take revenge with his own sword, and will not implicate the young lady."

Ji Si pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The Uncle King presents his deed.

Ji Si still confiscated it, and said: "Only good people can buy real estate. You can get rid of your lowly status and buy a house to settle down. The New Year is coming, and you can live a good year in peace. Let's do that for now."

Uncle King no longer refuses: "Here."

The carriage passed through the busy city, and stopped at the entrance of Tongfu Inn fifteen minutes later.

Qin Jun: "..."

Jin Xiu whispered: "Princess don't need to be nervous if she wears a veiled hat."

Qin Jun gritted her teeth secretly, how could she not be nervous, if Qin Kuang saw that Ji Si was still alive, wouldn't he have to make a fuss and pester her?

Qin Jun sighed, had to lower the brim of her hat, and entered the private room. Xiaoer stepped forward to serve her, and recognized Qin Jun at a glance, and immediately smiled ambiguously.

Qin Jun: "..."

Xiao Er looked at Qin Kuang and Li Wuduan, and quietly made a gesture on his lips, indicating that he would never talk too much.

Qin Kuang sat down and looked at Xiao Er with a smile, "Xiao Er, I heard that a wonderful person like a fairy lived in your inn recently? Is there such a thing? Why haven't I seen anyone recently?"

Li Wuduan: "Oh?"

Xiao Er immediately took a deep breath, and glanced at Qin Jun quietly.

Seeing this, Qin Jun said displeasedly, "I'm hungry."

Jin Xiu: "Don't dawdle, tell the kitchen to serve the food."

Xiao Er hurriedly said, "Here."

Downstairs, Ji Si went back to the restaurant, and when she went upstairs, she happened to meet Xiao Er who came down.

Xiao Er suddenly winked at her, "Girl."

Ji Si wore a veil, revealing a pair of Ruifeng eyes, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Er whispered, "Your little benefactor is here."

Ji Si said lightly: "This will pass."

Xiao Er hurriedly stopped Ji Si and said: "In the private room, I came to eat with two strange men. Maybe it is a talent in the family. The girl can't show her face. It is known that the relationship between the girl and the benefactor is that kind of person."~The little benefactor will be miserable."

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's the relationship?"

Xiao Er chuckled: "Oh, how can the villain have the nerve to say that?"

"Understood," Ji Si walked past him, her phoenix eyes were bent, and her tone was gentle, "Bring me the piano."

During the serving interval, Li Wuduan looked at Qin Jun, "What flavor does Jun'er like to eat now?"

Qin Jun said: "I like sweets, the taste is still the same as when I was a child."

Li Wuduan: "Have you read any books?"

Qin Jun smiled: "I don't like reading. The Prime Minister said that I only need to know the basics and I don't need to write."

Li Wuduan disagreed, "I don't want to understand, but I still have to read the Four Books and Five Classics. How is the handwriting?"

Qin Kuang interjected casually, "Writing with good handwriting is not a style for a hundred families, and the directors of each family."

Li Wuduan thought for a while, "It's time to specialize in the same."

Qin Jun: "..."

Qin Jun never expected that people in ancient times had to interrogate their relatives to study.Do you still have to question your love life in the future?

At this moment, a song called Fengqiuhuang is slowly flowing in the inn.

The sound of the piano is beautiful, Li Wuduan asked with a smile, "Does my sister have someone she likes in Capital?"

Qin Jun: "...No, I have never discussed marriage. My father said that I am still young, and it will not be too late to wait until I am seventeen or eighteen."

Li Wuduan: "Why don't you go back to Jiang Prefecture with me, Jiang Prefecture also has a lot of good guys, just pick the one you like!"

Qin Kuang was listening to the music intently, when he heard the words, he interjected: "Fuck you, of course Jun'er will stay at Capital!"

Qin Jun snickered, thought for a while and asked Li Wuduan, "Isn't my cousin going to be an official?"

Qin Kuang also looked at Li Wuduan curiously, but was soon attracted by the sound of the piano on the opposite side.

Li Wuduan looked at him curiously, and quickly looked away, "No, Qin and Zhou are now in a peaceful and prosperous age, so I can just stay in Jiang Prefecture and watch over my parents, wife and children."

Qin Kuang said nothing, Qin Jun nodded, thinking that this is good, being so explicit, it will prevent him from going back to Jiang Prefecture when the time comes.

"There is still a war going on in the north," Qin Jun said, and she became quiet. After Xiaoer finished serving the food and left, she picked up her chopsticks and started talking again, "Don't you know, cousin?"

Li Wuduan kept picking food for Qin Jun, "Why?"

Qin Jun's cheeks were bulging from eating, and she said vaguely, "I heard that the suppression of bandits in the North was unsuccessful, and King Jin is also sick."

Li Wuduan said: "The person Jindi came to report on is Jin Wang's staff. After the first day, the court will discuss policy, and the states and counties will come in rotation every day. There must be a discussion about the Jindi bandits."

Qin Jun then said: "Are there any generals in the court who are familiar with Yuan soldiers? Maybe they can be sent to suppress bandits?"

Li Wuduan held the cup and smiled slightly.

Qin Kuang rubbed Qin Jun's head, "Little girl, it's your turn to care about the court affairs?"

The song "Feng Qiuhuang" played for a long time, and Qin Kuang wanted to take a look at it several times, but was stopped by Qin Jun.

Qin Kuang frowned: "This piano sounds like the Lady Pin of fine jade building, my lord..."

Li Wuduan asked curiously: "What is fine jade building?"

Qin Jun then said, "A brothel."

Li Wuduan frowned suddenly: "Mimizhiyin, and the female relatives are here, Brother Qin, let's think about the princess!"

Qin Jun nodded immediately, "Yes."

Qin Kuang clicked his tongue twice: "Brother Li is really more pedantic than Jun Eryi's family. What's wrong with the girl from the fine jade building? Now the fine jade building is gone. I'll take you to Yuyu Tower tomorrow to have a look!"

Li Wuduan blushed with anger: "Nonsense!"

Halfway through the meal, the servant guarding the door of the private room came in to deliver a message.

"I pay my respects to the princess and prince, Li Shizi." Eunuch Guo came in and bowed his waist.

In the wing room, Li Wuduan and Qin Kuang were slightly surprised, "This is... the servant?"

Qin Jun personally served Li Wuduan a cup of tea, "A few days ago, I asked Eunuch Guo to find a house in Capital, and I'm going to live in it for you when you come."

Li Wuduan was taken aback, "I only stay for one month..."

"My brother also said," Qin Jun said with emotion, "I have no home in Capital, so let me set up a Li Mansion and give me a thought."

Li Wuduan immediately said: "Okay, it's all up to you, don't be sad."

Only then did Qin Jun show off her face and motioned for Eunuch Guo to answer.

Eunuch Guo took a deep look at Qin Jun, and replied: "The mansion has been found, come and go to the princess, you can go and have a look in the afternoon, if you are satisfied, you can settle down and find someone to clean it, and you can live in it within two days."

Qin Kuang said, "My brothers will accompany you to see it later."

Qin Jun nodded, and Eunuch Guo finished his reply, left an address for Qin Jun, and left.

Li Wuduan said from the other side of the table: "Seeing that you see brother restrained today, I thought you were born with me."

The sound of the piano lingered, "How could that be?" Qin Jun said with a smile, opened the note, and saw two names under a line of address, "I am very happy that my brother can come to Capital."

"This house is nice," Qin Jun raised her lips and smiled, "What do you think, cousin?"

"It's up to you," Li Wuduan said, "just decide."

Qin Kuang felt normal: "It's too small, the second courtyard, two wing rooms, how can I live in it?"

Li Wuduan said: "It's not small, the size I waited in Jiang Prefecture's yard is also the same."

Qin Jun was very satisfied and said, "My father-in-law is very lucky."

Eunuch Guo followed, "It's the old servant's blessing that the princess is satisfied. There's nothing hard to do, but the housekeeper needs manpower, so the old servant will pick some suitable people for the princess? Or just use the ones sent by the previous concubine?"

Qin Jun smiled: "It's for my brother to live, so I'll let my brother arrange everything."

Eunuch Guo snorted, and the four of them left from the bamboo garden.

When Eunuch Guo went to lead the carriage, Qin Jun said to Li Wuduan and Qin Kuang, "I have to go and see about the Linshui Banquet, so I won't be with my two elder brothers."

Li Wuduan frowned, "Why are you so busy?"

"It's because you're too free," Qin Jun said, "It's the first day soon, and the princes who come to Beijing prepare banquets every day, why don't you go?"

Li Wuduan: "I'm not interested in those things, so I'm going to play with you, why are you still accepting the errand?"

Qin Jun smiled without saying a word, and boarded the carriage.

Li Wuduan groaned, chased after two steps, and said: "The New Year's gift for you, should it be sent to the Princess's Mansion or to King Kang's Mansion!"

Qin Jun opened the curtain, "I have a room in this yard, let me put it here!"

Li Wuduan's figure became smaller and disappeared one after another, and after a quarter of an hour the carriage drove into the downtown area, Xiao Taozi suddenly said: "Princess, Yunxuan seems to have a new gossip today, let's..."

Qin Jun snorted, "There's still business to do."

Eunuch Guo, who was sitting outside the carriage, said: "Princess, let's go to Yunxuan for a while, the old slave can go alone, it's okay."

Xiao Taozi shook Qin Jun's arm, "Princess."

"Just go." Qin Jun said, winking at Xiao Taozi and making a gesture of yes.

So the horses and chariots split up, and Eunuch Guo drove his own horse to get busy, while Qin Jun ordered Jin Xiu and Xiao Taozi to go to work separately.

"Xiaotao, take two trustworthy people to buy a few loyal servants and put them in the bamboo garden." Qin Jun said, "Jinxiu, go and call your cousin, and tell him that the yard can't be given to him.In his name, let me set up a small courtyard of my own outside the palace, and if he wants to come and live, I can reserve a room for him, and when I turn around, the name of the Li family will be hung on the lantern, please keep it a secret."

"When can the buyer come to the bamboo garden?" Qin Jun asked Xiaotao.

Xiao Taozi said: "Today is the fastest, and tomorrow is the slowest. Some people want to go home to leave a message."

Qin Jun nodded, "Then the day after tomorrow, the yard is tidied up, and Lady Pin is taken over. She will take care of the mansion outside the palace in the future, and we don't have to live in Kangwang's mansion when we go out of the palace."

Jin Xiu and Xiao Taozi took orders one by one.

When the carriage was empty, Qin Jun fell back and pressed her temples to relieve fatigue. Just after taking a few breaths, she suddenly remembered something and muttered to herself: "What are you playing?"
