The banquet that followed was lackluster, and there were no more waves until the end. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The troupe did not end until the end of Shen Shi, and the whispering between Jing Wen and the old princess ended quietly after Jing Yu returned to his seat.

And Jing Xi got up and retired before the tea was done after his expression changed. Until the end of the play, only the old princess and Jing Wen, Jing Yu and Li Jin sat on the main seat.

The gong sounded to mean the end, and then Chunlan, the maid of the Li Mansion, appeared in a corner of Li Jin's sight.

Without waiting for Li Jin to look for her mother in the crowd, and guessed what might have happened. The old princess's personal maid, Zi Rui, has brought the news back. After a while, the old princess looked at Li Jin lovingly and smiled: "I have occupied you for so long, your mother is afraid that she will think about it too much, so let's go back to the house with your mother." ”

It turns out that this is his mother who came to call him home? Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Standing up to say goodbye to everyone, Li Jin took Chunlan and left Changchun Garden with a maid appointed by the princess.

After walking for half a pillar of incense, Li Jin came to a hanging flower door that looked like a second door. Outside the half-open door is his own carriage, and after standing next to the car and coming to the palace, he has been instructed by his mother to follow his own Xiangxue, thinking that his mother should be waiting for him in the car.

The maid next to the old princess saw that her mission had been completed, and left the courtyard after saluting Li Jin, Chunlan also went to the carriage to report to Mrs. Li, at this time Li Jin turned around and looked at the towering corner of the house behind her, only to feel that she seemed to have been walking in a dream, and the feeling of unreality and entanglement lingered in her heart for a long time.

When he came back to his senses and turned to walk out of the door, before Li Jin stepped on the threshold, the familiar white figure in the distance stopped Li Jin again. It was Songyan, a close attendant beside King Huaiyang.

I saw him bow to Li Jin in the corner of the person, and for some reason Li Jin immediately understood the meaning of him letting him move over. Although Li Jin couldn't wait to see anyone in this mansion again, he had to walk towards Songyan at this time.

"There is Miss Lao, His Royal Highness ordered not to be seen by others, so ......"

Li Jin raised his hand to show that he didn't care, and then said, "It's okay, you can tell me the purpose of your trip." ”

"His Royal Highness instructs the young lady to be cautious in everything. After that, there seemed to be something unspeakable, Songyan paused for a moment and said: "Also, Miss is in the middle of a downfall, I don't know if I need to choose a good teacher for you." ”

Li Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, and the second half of the sentence was clearly Jingxi's original words, but it was also hard for this attendant, and it was indeed difficult to relay such words. I think that the behavior of my secret observation at the banquet made this person already see it.

Li Jin knew that he couldn't escape the two foxes at the banquet, one old and one young, but he didn't expect that one of them would remind him in person. I don't know if Jingxi is to mock himself, or for his own future interests, he let Songyan talk like this. But it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Jin doesn't plan to hone this voyeuristic skill to perfection.

Li Jin replied: "Tell your Royal Highness, thank him for his kindness." I've got my own measure. After that, he left the Huaiyang Palace without hesitation.

On the carriage back, Li Jin seemed a little tired, and his eyes looked inexplicably sluggish. Mrs. Li's heart hurt very much after seeing it, and she directly hugged the child next to her in her arms, and said warmly: "It's good to go home." ”

Li Jin nodded silently, letting himself snuggle into that warm and familiar embrace and get a moment of redemption.

At the same time that Li Jin left the palace, everyone also got up to say goodbye, and Jing Wen and Jing Yu went to the courtyard that King Huaiyang had already prepared for his sister.

The old princess took her attendants back to her courtyard in a majestic manner, and as soon as she entered the flower hall with the peony butterfly dance embroidered screen, she saw her son behind the tulle.

The old princess waved away the people waiting in the house, and came to sit down opposite Wang Jingxi of Huaiyang alone.

The silent room was filled with sweet sandalwood and a hint of bitter medicinal fragrance.

"Why has my body been so bad lately, and I have used so much weight. The old princess frowned and looked at King Huaiyang worriedly and said.

I saw that after Jing Xi raised his face, the tightly locked brows that had been thinking about the way to crack it instantly expanded, and he smiled: "It's okay." Xu is mother has not smelled this smell for a long time, and she is a little uncomfortable. ”

The old princess looked at Jing Xi with disgust and said, "Can't I smell the weight of my son's things?"

King Huaiyang still smiled softly: "The concubine doesn't need to worry, it's just that she has slept late recently, so she used it heavier to prevent discomfort." ”

The old princess looked at her son's slightly pale face with a painful heartache, and sighed slightly: "Since it is so hard, why don't you find out the matter? ”

Jingxi shook his head after hearing this, and said gently: "It's not time yet, I thought it was okay." It's just that there are more variables at this time, and we have to see again. ”

"So you keep Li Jin in this game of chess?"

Jing Xi smiled innocently, "This is better than an abandoned son who has no value after using it once." ”

The old princess also nodded and changed the topic, took out the wooden box that Zirui put beside her, the gift that Jing Yu personally brought back, put it under the candlelight and said: "Although Jing Yu, this child is a little reckless, but in the end, he is a child of Huaiyang Palace, I am afraid that he also feels something." ”

When I opened the lid of the embedded box, there was a bracelet with a soft woody luster. Looking at the texture, you knew that it was not ordinary, and when the lid was lifted, the aroma unique to the temple almost overshadowed the smell of the house. It was only a moment that I was mixed in again, and I couldn't notice it. The old princess thought to herself, as expected, Jing Yu must have gone to Yunju Temple to ask for this talisman-like string of beads for herself. I'm afraid that there is also the chanting blessing of the presiding abbot for a few days and nights.

Although this Yunju Temple usually receives ordinary pilgrims to worship the Buddha, it is a royal garden-like place. In addition, the abbot at this time is a well-known virtuous monk in the country, so the abbot will be invited into the palace to preach the scriptures for the nobles, and it is really difficult to ask for the treasures he blesses. I don't know how many times Jing Yu's little girl has to go back and forth to the temple to get this satisfying gift to herself.

The old princess looked at the expected gift, but she still had some tears in her eyes. Huaiyang Wang Jingxi looked at the string of wooden beads and was slightly stunned for a while. After a while, he said: "Mother, I think I can take my sister back to the fiefdom, and I will use adult engagement as a reason?"

After Jing Xi asked tentatively, the old princess also put away her emotional look and thought about it seriously.

"It's also time, so drag on the night and dream a lot, don't hurt your sister when the time comes. It's just that this engagement candidate, you have to be cautious, in the end, it is your sister's lifelong event. The old princess earnestly instructed.

"Mother rest assured, that is also the family that I put on the tip of my heart. Jing Xi said sincerely.

The old princess didn't say much when she heard this promise, got up and prepared to go back to the room to rest, and asked Jingxi to rest early when she left, although she knew that such an instruction was too much, and the heartache but powerless old princess turned out of the flower hall and instructed Zi Rui beside her: "Go to the small kitchen and give an order, and prepare the glutinous rice lotus seed soup and snow lotus white seed soup that the prince likes." Wen is on the stove, the prince is hungry, remember to eat it immediately. ”

Zi Rui took the order and left, and the little maid beside him accompanied the old princess back to her bedroom to rest.

Maybe it's because I got up too early this morning, or because today's banquet is particularly draining, or because I finally arrived in my own carriage where I can rest assured, and the Li mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and took a nap in the shaking carriage.

When they arrived at the second gate of their house, Chunlan and Xiangxue were afraid that the two of them would hurt their muscles and bones by sleeping in the car for a long time, so they finally woke up the two.

Li Jin got out of the carriage and neither of them spoke, and after entering the door, Li Jin did not have his own Jinyue Pavilion, but went to the east chamber of the Li Mansion with his mother, the courtyard where his parents lived.

After the two had eaten supper in a hurry, they sent the servants of the house away. The two kept talking about the fact that the candles in the house were not extinguished late at night. It's just that everything in the Li Mansion seems to be shrouded in an eerie silence, and even the little servants on duty in the hall seem to be more careful because of such a different atmosphere.
