Chapter 41: Worn Horseshoes

Two days later, Xie Yi was ordered to visit King Li Zhi of Jin. It is said that King Jin wanted to thank his life for his gratitude in person.

Li Zhi is very polite at such a young age!

It is logical that I should be polite and refuse, but Xie Yi did not. The rare opportunity to contact Li Zhi cannot be wasted.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Xie Yi came to a palace. It is said that His Highness of the King of Jin was studying here. A Confucian scholar was explaining the meaning of the scriptures and asked men from Huaiyang County to wait for a while.

Li Shimin attached great importance to the education of the prince. Most of the princes were taught by great scholars since childhood and had good knowledge. King Li Tai of Wei was one of the best.

The nine-year-old Li Zhi is naturally no exception. Even if he is traveling abroad, he must study and study. Especially after being sick for many days, he delayed a lot of homework.

Poor baby! But compared to the primary school students who had heavy academic burdens in later generations, Li Zhi was already very happy.

Before Li Zhi could wait, Xie Yi discovered another petite figure - Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang. As for the nickname of Yizi, only the royal elders are qualified to shout.

The little princess stood in the corridor in front of the hall, looking listless and staring around with no spirit, as if she couldn't get any interest in anything, and was very silent.

When Xie Yi discovered the strange expression of Princess Jinyang for the second time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. This noble man with a noble family and a princess with golden branches and jade leaves had the most honor and favor. How could he be depressed?

No one dared to risk beheading her and make her unhappy, right? Why? Xie Yi, who was curious, decided to explore it.

"I have seen His Highness the Princess."

Princess Jinyang turned around and recognized Xie Yi at a glance, and said in surprise: "You are the one who has no long beard and makes Brother Jiu's forehead not hot."

Well……

His Royal Highness’s expression is indeed four years old, but there is a rare slight excitement in his words. It seems that he has a pretty good impression of himself.

Xie Yi asked softly, "Why is Your Highness the Princess sitting here withered? Are you unhappy?"

"Brother Jiu is studying, no one can play with Yizi."

Uh... This answer made Xie Yi not know what to say. The brother and sister really have a deep relationship. But... there are a lot of palace maids and eunuchs here, so can't they play with the princess? If His Majesty Li Er knows this, wouldn't they blame the inadequate care?

The palace maid who was serving the side seemed to see Xie Yi's doubts and bowed to her, "Thank you... the miracle doctor doesn't know anything. Whenever His Majesty and His Highness King Jin are not around, His Highness Princess is not happy."

Xie Yi's name as a miracle doctor has spread in Luoyang Palace. The eunuchs and palace maids respect each other very much when they see it. When they see Princess Jinyang is willing to talk to her, they tell each other bluntly.

"Why? Isn't there anyone else to play with the princess? There should be many princes and princesses of the same age in Chang'an Palace." Xie Yi was a little puzzled by this.

"The empresses and princesses of all palaces love Princess Jinyang very much. They care very much and treat them very well. They often play with the princess. But it is strange that the princess is always happy when she is not with Princess Jin."

The palace maid explained: "Your Majesty was furious because of Long Yan and asked everyone in the palace. After that, everyone treated the princess more respectful and kind, but the princess didn't like it. Over time, His Highness the Princess did not like to play with others. Only when His Majesty and His Highness the King of Jin were there, they seemed happier."

"So that's it!" Xie Yi seemed to understand something and asked softly: "Your Highness, can you tell me why you don't like to play with others..."

"They are not fun... Brother Jiu is the best for Aizi." Princess Jinyang's answer seemed to be inconsistent with the foreword, which seemed to show the problem.

Just at this moment, King Li Zhi of Jin came out of class and came out of the palace. The lost Princess Jinyang suddenly resurrected in the spot full of blood and rushed into Li Zhi's arms like a rush.

The palace maids on the side had long been used to it, and the Confucians who gave up the lecture were always praised, while Xie Yi noticed some abnormalities.

"Brother Jiu, he is the one who doesn't have a long beard that makes your forehead no longer hot." Princess Jinyang smiled like a flower, and enthusiastically introduced Xie Yi to Li Zhi in her unique expression method.

"I Xie Yi has met His Highness King Jin." The two of them had met before, but Li Zhi was still ill at that time, so he had no communication.

Li Zhi said politely: "I don't have to thank the miracle doctor for being too polite. It's the king who thanks you."

"Your Highness is so serious, saving people and treating diseases is the duty of a doctor. Besides, don't call the name of a miracle doctor anymore, I can't afford it." Xie Yi quickly refused modestly.

"You are better than those imperial doctors."

"Your Highness is absurd."

"Okay, thank you for your thanks. Go back. I want to take my sister to play."

Li Zhi suddenly changed his subject and turned into a deceiving kid and issued an order to expel guests, which surprised Xie Yi. Isn't it? The first time I communicated with the future Emperor Gaozong of Tang failed like this?

If you can't handle Li Zhi, how can you talk about the future? How can you stand invincible? Xie Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration.

...

On the other side, Li Zhi had just taken his sister's little hand and was dissuaded by the eunuch who followed him before he had taken a few steps.

"Your Highness, you have just recovered. You need to rest more and not walk too much... Be careful not to let the cold wind blow the hot sweat."

The eunuchs and palace maids were helpless. Li Zhi was in danger of being sick in the previous episode, and they had to take care of him for not taking good care of him. If Xie Yi had not saved Li Zhi, they would have been buried with the King of Jin. How could they be careless now?

Just doing this will work? It is better to lose it than to block it. In the long run, Li Zhi will probably be like Princess Jinyang and will be very disappointed.

"This... I'm done, nothing will happen. Wei Zi is bored alone, so it's okay to play with her." Li Zhi hesitated a little, turned around and pointed, "If you don't believe me, please ask him."

The eyes of the eunuchs and palace maids fell on Xie Yi, with sincere eyes as if asking for advice. The speech of the miracle doctor Xie, who was rejuvenated by a wonderful hand, was very credible.

"Your Highness can play, but..."

"But what?"

Xie Yi said: "For the sake of your highness's health, you should not only play, but also play more; exercise hard to strengthen your body. I have reported to Your Majesty before, and maybe I can help you."

The words "go more fun" made Li Zhi very excited, but later...

Li Zhi turned his lips and said, "We are strong, right? Some people said this when they were in Chang'an, but I want to ride a horse, so everyone stopped me."

Xie Yi said: "Riding a horse is a hard task. I have just experienced it. Does Your Highness want to try it?"

"I heard that you rode a horse hundreds of miles to save me. I am very grateful." Li Zhi said: "Although riding a horse is hard, I want to try it. Like those generals who fought for the court, they rode their horses and whipped them to fight on the battlefield."

Li Zhi's expression was very devoted, completely expressing true feelings. Xie Yi couldn't help but be surprised. Historical records record Li Zhi was cowardly. But now it seems that His Highness, King of Jin, has great ambitions and is very courageous!

"Your Highness is so courageous. I would like to ask your Highness, do you want to be a real knight who rides a horse or just sit on the back of a horse and play with it?"

Li Zhi swears: "My father once held me and rode a horse and ran a horse. I like it very much... but I want to ride a horse and whip yourself like my father."

Xie Yi said bluntly: "It takes effort to ride a horse. You need to clamp the belly, sit firmly on the horse's back, and control the reins... With your highness's current physique, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it well."

"That's what happened again..."

"but……"

Li Zhigang seemed disappointed. When he heard Xie Yi's words change, he immediately said excitedly: "But what?"

"I have said that it can help Your Highness strengthen your body, so that Your Highness can strengthen your body while playing, and jump to the horse as soon as possible."

“How long will it take to do it?”

Xie Yiyouyou said: "This is hard to say. First, it depends on whether Your Highness believes in the ministers; second, it depends on whether Your Highness has the will to persevere."

"No lie?"

"Your Highness is a prince. Isn't it a crime to deceive the prince? Isn't it a crime to deceive the emperor? I dare not."

Xie Yi smiled and said, "And... If Your Highness is interested, you can go to the stables to see it today. If you want to become a good rider, you must first understand the horse and observe how others ride the horse."

Li Zhi suddenly became interested and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, go to the stable to have a look, but... I have to play with my sister."

"Brother Jiu, Yizi also wants to go to the stable to see the horses eat grass and watch the horses run..." Unexpectedly, Princess Jinyang immediately applauded, and her brother's controlling temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

Li Zhi immediately said, "Okay, then let's go to the stable to see it. Thank you Doctor...you can accompany you too!"

"As for your order!"

The eunuchs were quite hesitant, but when King Jin spoke, he followed him with the divine doctor Xie. I think nothing was wrong.

...

Wang Yongan was a member of the Imperial Guard, a group of imperial guards selected from wealthy families during the Zhenguan period.

During this Eastern Tour of the Emperor, he and Pao Ze accompanied him to protect him. The day before yesterday, he rushed out with Duke Hou Junji of Chen to welcome Doctor Xie who was treating His Highness the King of Jin.

He ran hundreds of miles without hesitation. Although he was tired, as an elite imperial guard, he only needed a little rest, and he did not take it seriously.

Wang Yongan cared more about the horse, the war horse that followed him from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to a post station in Chenzhou. Because it was an imperial guard mount, the post station sent all the horses back.

only……

At this moment, he was standing in the stable, lifting the legs of his beloved mount, looking at the severely worn hooves, and sighing.

Just at this moment, a young child voice rang beside him: "Look at Brother Jiu, the horse's soles are injured..."
