Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 146 Encounter Bun Shop

  Last night, Lin Xiu only slept for half an hour.

   Driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but take a peek at Zhao Lingjun. He didn't expect that he was almost caught by her, which really surprised Lin Xiu.

   With such a long perception distance, her strength is stronger than Lin Xiu expected.

   Didn't she go to the upper realm?

Impossible, it is outrageous enough to step into the earth step at the age of fourteen. Now she is only nineteen years old, and she cannot advance to the lower earth step. The cultivation of other arts and talent are important, but the accumulation of time is also important. Can't be skipped.

   Lin Xiu's own talent is considered excellent. If there is only one supernatural ability, the end of his cultivation will be at the upper level.

Lingyin and Princess Minghe are almost twice as talented as him. No surprises, they can all be promoted to the heavenly rank. In the case of double cultivation, their cultivation speed has doubled, and the upper limit of cultivation has also been raised a lot. , in his lifetime, it is possible to break through to the upper realm of heaven.

As we all know, Zhao Lingjun's talent is amazing, but after quantification, it is four to five times that of Lin Xiu, and a little more than twice that of Lingyin and Princess Minghe. This kind of talent is already against the sky, but it is impossible to advance to the first rank so quickly. .

  Unless her actual talent is more reserved than it appears.

   This is outrageous.

   Lin Xiu's pressure suddenly increased.

   When eating in the morning, Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu and asked in disbelief, "You practiced all night yesterday?"

  Lin Xiu shook his head and said, "No, I still slept for half an hour."

Zhao Lingyin couldn't imagine that Lin Xiu practiced as hard as she did during the day. At night, she was already very tired, but he still practiced all night. In this way, he only had half an hour to rest every day. .

   Even if he is not sleepy, can his body bear it?

   Zhao Lingyin ate breakfast silently, thinking about what Qin Wan said yesterday, Lin Xiu worked so hard, it could even be said to be a crazy practice, is it really because of her sister?

   He wants to prove that he is no weaker than his sister. There are some things that he doesn't seem to care about, but he actually cares a lot.

   After eating, Lin Xiu said to Lingyin, "You should go to the Yishu Academy in a while and tell Princess Minghe that I have something to do during the day, and I will find her to practice later in the afternoon."

  The matter of double cultivation must be put aside first, he has more important things during the day.

   After Lin Xiu left, Zhao Lingyin slapped a few banknotes on the table and said to Qin Wan, "I'll give you the money, you can rent a house by yourself."

   Qin Wan didn't look at her and said, "Why should I rent a house?"

   Zhao Lingyin said: "Don't you think it's inappropriate for you, an unmarried woman, to live here?"

   Qin Wan glanced at her and asked back, "Is it suitable for you to live here?"

   Zhao Lingyin said, "Don't you care about a woman's reputation?"

Qin Wan cleaned up the dishes and said, "I don't have a good reputation in the first place, don't you all think that Qin Wan is shrewd and flirtatious with so many men, but it's you, a single man and a widow who live in the same house, your identity is still the same. So special, I am afraid that people will be criticized for human relations..."

"you!"

   "What, am I wrong?"

  …

  Lin Xiu didn't know that the smell of gunpowder filled the house. He waited at the gate of the palace for a while, and the noble concubine, the little palace maid Linglong, and Shuangshuang walked out of the palace.

  I don't know why, Zhu Jin is not here today, and it is replaced by Director Li, who is also an old acquaintance of Lin Xiu.

  Lin Xiu stepped forward and asked: "Director Li, this time out of the palace, the safety of the empress..."

   Director Li smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, there are more than a dozen secret investigators watching in the dark, nothing will happen."

   Lin Xiu told him: "Let them be vigilant, don't let idle people wait to get close to the empress, disturbing the empress's interest in leaving the palace."

Although the imperial concubine did not wear palace attire, she restrained a little extravagance, but even ordinary dresses are so dazzling when worn on her body, plus the exquisite little palace maids are cute and cute, both pure and cute, don't Just like the last time, encountering some unsightly gangsters or playboys will affect the mood of the imperial concubine.

   After arranging these, Lin Xiucai took them to the street with confidence.

  Shuangshuang is better. The concubine and Linglong rarely have the opportunity to leave the palace. Others are village girls who enter the city and are dazzled.

  The three beauties are walking on the street, and the rate of turning around is naturally very high. There are also some unsightly guys who want to take the opportunity to strike up a conversation, but before they approach, they are taken away by secret detectives hidden around to discuss life.

  Women do not know how tired they are when they go shopping.

The entire main street at the gate of the palace was taken from the beginning to the end by them. Lin Xiu was also full of interest from the beginning, and then became uninterested. Whether it was in the past or this life, shopping with women was a kind of torture for him. .

   After an unknown amount of time, the imperial concubine suddenly sniffed and said, "It smells so good."

After   , she walked towards the place where the fragrance came from.

  Lin Xiu also took a few deep breaths. The smell was indeed very fragrant, and it tasted the same as the steamed buns made by Pretty Widow.

etc!

  Lin Xiu was suddenly startled and turned around to see, this is not the street in front of the steamed bun shop!

  Lin Xiu wanted to stop the imperial concubine, but it was too late.

   She has walked into the store alone.

  In the bun shop, a handsome middle-aged man was holding the pretty widow's hand and talking.

   I don't know what he said, which made the pretty widow's face a little red, adding a bit of beauty to her face.

   At this moment, a figure walked into the store.

   The middle-aged man looked back and was stunned.

   Standing behind the middle-aged man, a white-faced and beardless man was also stunned.

   Lin Xiu, who was catching up quickly, was also stunned.

   Isn’t that a coincidence…

   No wonder he didn't see Zhu Jin today, so he was here, and the Dog Emperor was also here.

   He went out of the palace to pick up widows again.

   The concubine who was leaving the palace met the Emperor Dog who was leaving the palace. The Emperor Dog was still holding the pretty widow's hand, and she didn't know how she was teasing her just now. The blush on her face had not completely faded away.

   In the scene in front of him, Lin Xiudu was embarrassed for the dog emperor.

   Inside and outside the store, several figures looked at each other with different expressions.

   The beautiful eyes were slightly startled, and the pretty face was shocked.

  The exquisite little palace maid widened her eyes and opened her mouth into an "O" shape.

   Zhu Jin's face was bitter, Director Li lowered his head, his face was pale, his legs were weak, and he could hardly even stand...

  …

  In the steamed bun shop, the concubine, the concubine, was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene, and then a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she sat on a chair as if nothing had happened.

  Pretty Widow didn't know anything yet. When she saw a guest coming, she quickly drew back her hand and asked, "What would the guest want?"

   When she was talking, she also looked at the concubine a few more times, and she thought that this lady was so beautiful in life, and her temperament was so noble. When she saw it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

   The imperial concubine smiled and said, "I want two buns."

   The buns in Widow Pretty’s house are very large, and those with small appetites will be full after eating two buns.

  Lin Xiu bit the bullet and walked into the store, Xia Huang glanced at him, Lin Xiu spread his hands without showing any traces, saying that it was none of his business.

  The pretty widow put the buns on the concubine and said to the Xia Huang: "There is no more vinegar in the shop, I'll go and call some. You can help me look at the shop for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

After   , she went out with a jar.

   Zhu Jin walked up to Lin Xiu and said, "Let's go out."

  Lin Xiu still wanted to eat steamed buns, so she had to go out first after hearing that, now is obviously not the time to eat steamed buns.

   Huang Xia sat opposite the imperial concubine and said embarrassedly, "Why did you all come here?"

   The imperial concubine lightly took a bite of the bun and said, "It's a coincidence that I came here after strolling around. You can see the emperor here."

   Huang Xia sighed and said, "Tell me, what should I do so I don't tell the emperor's grandmother about it."

The emperor of a country, who went out of the palace in micro-clothing, flirted with the widows of the common people, and flirted with me. No one should know about this. He knew that Lin Xiu would not dare to disclose it, but in case she said to the imperial grandmother one day If he misses out, he will definitely be reprimanded.

  The imperial grandmother has always been strict with him.

   There was a hint of slyness in the beautiful eyes of the noble concubine, and she said, "I have to leave the palace every half a month."

   Emperor Xia thought about it for a long time, but reluctantly agreed.

It is actually a hassle for the imperial concubine to leave the palace. In order to protect her safety, at least 15 secret investigators must follow secretly every time, among which there are no less than five of them, which will put a lot of pressure on the secret investigator. .

   And if the courtiers know about it, his ears will not be purified.

   But now that he has been caught, he can only agree.

   He sighed and said with emotion: "You were like this when you were a child. You always went to the father, mother, queen and grandmother to complain, and I was punished for you a lot."

  The imperial concubine glanced at him and said, "At that time, I could only come to Kyoto once a year, and my uncle asked you to take me on a tour of the capital. You'd better go hide-and-seek with a few powerful ladies, and of course I will sue you..."

   Thinking of childhood anecdotes, Xia Huang couldn't help but smile.

   But soon, a trace of melancholy appeared in his heart.

  Those memories are warm, but they are more than 20 years ago.

   More than 20 years ago, the little girl who was the most playful and yearned for freedom, now she can only live in a secluded palace.

   Twenty years ago, none of the powerful ladies he wanted to marry were married.

   Widow Pretty quickly came back with jealousy, and found that the guests had left, and one person was sitting there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

   A hint of sourness appeared in her heart, and she said, "Hmph, did you like the lady just now?"

Xia Huang returned to his senses and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, my heart has been filled with you, and I can no longer hold other people. I was thinking, if you could go back with me, I would be able to live every day. I've eaten the buns you made..."
