Mrs. Qiu has always been attached to Lin Zhixuan, even if she was very happy to see Wei Mingxu, after greeting the prince's injury, she offered the supplements she brought, and then adhered to the etiquette, and only chatted with Lin Zhixuan for a few words, and greeted her well.

Wei Mingxu looked at the submissive appearance of several ladies in Lin Zhixuan's hands, just held the teacup lid with his right hand, gently fiddled with the tea leaves in the teacup on the kang table, put the teacup lid aside, drank tea with the teacup in one hand, and did not speak.

But his awkward and inconvenient actions all fell in Li Jing's eyes, and the ghost made her worse, she suddenly got up, stepped forward to take the teacup in Wei Mingxu's hand, and said, "The concubine is waiting for the prince to drink tea." ”

Wei Mingxu paused slightly, and even the people in the room seemed to be frightened by Li Jing's actions, just waiting for Wei Mingxu to have a seizure, but he never thought that after Wei Mingxu was slightly stunned for a moment, he actually let go of his hand and let Li Jing take the teacup in his hand.

Li Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly gently helped Wei Mingxu blow the tea, which was then sent to Wei Mingxu's lips, and Wei Mingxu took a sip.

Let Li Jing go back to sitting.

Li Jing was a little overjoyed, and the other ladies were also hot.

I saw Wei Mingxu put the lid of the teacup on the kang table on the teacup, and said as if unintentionally: "I heard that your grandfather is sick, you can go back and take a look today." By the way, let your father and Li Qi come to the palace, I have something to discuss with them. ”

Li Jing didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly got up and thanked her.

Wei Mingxu nodded slightly, and then didn't say anything, and there was a rumor from outside, saying that the ninth sister was coming, that is, when it was time for Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan to have breakfast, several side concubines and wives hurriedly got up and retired.

Wei Mingxu didn't answer again, just looked at Lin Zhixuan and told them a few words, and then asked them to retreat.

Wei Mingxu got up to go to eat, but Lin Zhixuan didn't move, when Wei Mingxu wanted to pass by Lin Zhixuan, he was a little embarrassed, turned his head and glanced at Lin Zhixuan, who was sitting motionless on the kang, and saw her jealous little appearance, she also felt funny, and then said: "Ninth sister is here, you just sit here." ”

When Lin Zhixuan heard that the child was coming, she didn't care too much about him in front of the ninth sister, but she still refused to move, but just sneered: "The concubine is not in good health, she can't move, and someone has to serve her to eat, drink, sit and lie down." If this tea is not held in the slender jade hand to the mouth, it will never be able to drink. ”

"Alright, alright. Wei Mingxu took his injured left hand and gently pulled Lin Zhixuan's clothes, "I want to use her brother, so naturally I can't give her a face." ”

Seeing that the ninth sister outside had already come in, Lin Zhixuan also stood up and went to the table with Wei Mingxu: "The prince wants Li Qi to go?"

Wei Mingxu nodded, and changed his solemn look when he talked about political affairs on weekdays: "Zhuang Xihan is old. I transferred Li Qi from the Criminal Department to the Ministry of War for many years, just so that one day, the Ministry of War will remain in our own hands. It's just that he is still young, and now there are few wars, Mongolia bows down to the vassals, and the barbarians in the south see that the Great Zhou Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and there are few offenses, and last year they also sent envoys to send New Year's gifts, asking for peaceful coexistence.

This mission to the Western Regions was an opportunity for Li Qi. When he comes back, he will have the qualifications to take over the military department. ”

The Criminal Department and the Military Department both fell into the hands of the Li family, and Lin Zhixuan was a little unhappy in her heart. Wei Mingxu will give Li Jing a little thin noodles today because he wants to reuse Li Qi, but what about the future? Will it also give Li Jing the opportunity to be powerful in the Jingwang Mansion because of the power of the Li family?

Lin Zhixuan said: "There are many useful young people around the prince, but they are so partial to the Li family. ”

Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan sat down at the table together: "Miao Sheng is a rare person who has a contract with me, when the eighth child was the emperor, the Li family had to go against me, and Miao Sheng and I had a feeling of knowing each other and hating it late."

Nowadays, there are many things in the government, and most of them are his advice and conspiracy with me. His son has been nurtured by him since he was a child, and although he is not able to repay his responsibilities in terms of mind, he is not inferior to his father in terms of talent.

Naturally, Bai Hui has now experienced from the original hairy boy. Cai Yongyan is also old, and I will let Bai Hui slowly familiarize himself with the affairs of the ministry. ”

Lin Zhixuan naturally knows that there are many places in the court that are not only regarded as ability, but also family background and qualifications. This is also the reason why Li Qi walks more smoothly in the officialdom than in vain.

Fortunately, Wei Mingxu's implementation of the new policy over the years has also brought out a large number of young and talented fresh blood, and under the protection of Wei Mingxu, he is also growing up. It's just that it will take a few years to replace the old men in the court with them, but it has given them a chance to make a difference.

Lin Zhixuan didn't notice that when he talked to Wei Mingxu about the court in the past, Wei Mingxu always avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, but this time, Lin Zhixuan asked, but Wei Mingxu answered one by one.

The ninth sister was still sullen, and after coming in, she just listened to Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan talking, and went to Qiu Ju to ask for honey water to drink.

Since Wei Mingxu was injured, the ninth sister has been so well-behaved. It makes people look pitiful and distressed.

Even Lin Zhixuan, who used to blame the ninth sister for being naughty, has now become more temperamental, and what the ninth sister says is what she says, but this little girl is very sensible now, and she will even pester Lin Zhixuan to recite the newly learned ancient poems to her, Lin Zhixuan looked distressed and wanted to comfort her.

The ninth sister cried: "My mother always said that I was too stubborn and asked me to read more books, why am I still wrong to read obediently now?"

Lin Zhixuan had no choice but to let it go.

The ninth sister now comes to Lin Zhixuan's room every day to dine with her and Wei Mingxu, but she doesn't talk as much as before.

After breakfast, Sister Xin came to ask for peace, and wanted to lead the ninth sister to Anshan Hall to learn the piano.

Lin Zhixuan nodded in response, but asked Sister Xin to come to Xijinzhai after school.

Sister Xin was a little confused, but she still nodded in response.

Wei Mingxu looked at the back of Sister Xin leading the ninth sister away, but said to Lin Zhixuan: "That girl is also thirteen or fourteen, and she is the age when she should discuss her family." ”

Wei Mingxu never cared about these things in the back house, but now he suddenly mentioned Sister Xin'er's family affairs, but Lin Zhixuan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but think of the matter of Li Jing, Wei Mingxu accepted Li Jing because of the Li family, will he marry Sister Xin to others because of his power?

"Sister Xin'er's affairs are naturally up to me, as an aunt, to decide. I have already asked Shuhui and my mother to help pay attention, the family background is still secondary, and the character is the most important. ”
