readx;? Lin Xi's birthday was in the winter when the snow was falling, in previous years it was a bowl of longevity noodles, and when she arrived in the capital, Mrs. Tai didn't want to wronged her grandson, so she set up a family banquet, but at that time, she was in filial piety, and she didn't want to make a big deal.

When he moved out of the Hou Mansion after filial piety, his birthday also passed with the New Year.
It's just that this year, twenty years old, and the year of the crown.
Lin Xi leaned against the door of the kitchen, looking at the man below, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and his eyes were gentle and delicate.
"Young master, how can I let the prince into the kitchen......
Mother Zhou was extremely shocked and anxious when she first found out, unlike the two stinky girls, she has always been bad at the future of the two, both men, the status is very different, Rui Wang Ye doesn't want to deviate from the scriptures one day, and he can marry a famous lady in a blink of an eye. But if the young master of her family has a bad reputation, let alone a good marriage, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the capital.
Clearly and secretly persuaded again and again, but Lin Xi was stubborn from beginning to end, and her dry mouth had no effect, so she could only go with him, but seeing her young master fall deeper and deeper, she was really worried.
I was worried that Lin Xi couldn't do without Zhao Jingyi, and I was also worried that Zhao Jingyi would suddenly let go of his young master and couldn't stand it.
After all, Zhou's mother loves Lin Xi even more, and finally has a sweetheart, and there are more and more smiles on her face, which slowly turns from the initial opposition to the long-term worry about the long-term relationship between the two.
So this night, seeing the scene of Prince Rui rolling up his sleeves and entering the kitchen to make longevity noodles for his young master, Zhou's mother was a little frightened.
The four words pampered and proud were subconsciously pasted on Lin Xi's head by her.
Lin Xi curled the corners of his lips, "It's okay, my young master of your family has also done it for him." ”
How can it be the same, this is the prince!
As soon as Gu's mother's words reached her lips, she saw Zhao Jingyi turn her face sideways, and asked with a serious expression: "Xi'er, come and see, can you start the pot?"
Lin Xi smiled at Gu's mother nonchalantly, then walked over, stretched his neck to take a look, and said with a smile: "Oh, my lord, it's all batter, hurry up, you won't be able to eat it for a long time." ”
Lin Xi took a bowl and handed it to Zhao Jingyi, who frowned with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, quickly lifted his face with a tense face, brought it to Lin Xi's face, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to enter." ”
It's really rare that Prince Rui, who has always been confident, still has no confidence, Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, picked up a few chopsticks, blew the hot air, and put it in his mouth.
Zhao Jingyi stared at Lin Xi's expression, his expression grim as if he was facing a strong enemy of 100,000, and unconsciously straightened his waist and gathered his abdomen and waited for him.
Lin Xi took two bites, then silently looked at Zhao Jingyi and leaned over, who couldn't help but lean forward.
I only heard Lin Xi whisper: "You seem to have forgotten to put salt, it doesn't smell good......
Suddenly, Zhao Jingyi's face turned green, and Lin Xi laughed.
Looking at Lin Xi, who was crooked, Zhao Jingyi couldn't help but smile after remorse, and looked at the batter she made, which was also quite disgusted, "Xi'er, don't eat it, let the cook make it for you, and I'll make up another birthday gift for you." ”
"Don't. Lin Xi immediately shook his head and put the bowl to himself, "Just put some salt, whatever you make is delicious." ”
After putting salt, it was still difficult to eat, but Lin Xi still finished eating it slowly.
"It can give me a taste that will last a lifetime. Lin Xi's eyes flashed with light, clear and bright, and he saw Zhao Jingyi's heart.
He smiled and lowered his head and kissed Lin Xi's lips, "I make it for you every year, and you can always make delicious longevity noodles in ten or twenty years." ”
"I remember what you said. ”
"I will not break my word. ”
Gu's mother had already gone out, took away the two fat girls who were curious about the taste, and sighed deeply, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
A pot of noodles, supplemented with salt, is not delicious, but I don't know if it is beautiful and delicious on the opposite side, or if the things brewed by love can be magically transformed into a delicacy in the world no matter how much they can't be eaten, the two still finished eating separately, smiling and satisfied.
In the end, the two who ate had to take a walk in the yard to eat.
"How is your crowning gift?"
"My father has passed away, so my grandmother invited the teacher to be my guest of honor, and the one who praised it was my eldest cousin. ”
This is extremely appropriate, Zhao Jingyi looked at Lin Xi's face was as calm as water, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking "Why don't I praise you" The words were not said after all.
Lin Xi glanced at him, and knew in his heart, "You are my senior brother, you should be the most suitable, but after all, others don't know, besides, your high position and authority, if you are praised by an unknown person from my origin, it is indeed inappropriate." I can understand your intentions. ”
Seeing Zhao Jingyi's face with regret, he smiled and said: "That day, no matter how busy the prince is, if there is no major event in the country, he will say that you will not be absent, and my coming-of-age ceremony will always hope to be under your witness." ”
Lin Xi's command-like tone made Zhao Jingyi's face soften, lowered his head and looked firm, and said in a deep voice: "A word is a certainty." ”
Lin Xi smiled and stuffed his hand into his hot big hand, and Zhao Jingyi subconsciously clenched it.
"Did the teacher pick up the words for you?"
"Dad named Xi, is for the hope of Chenguang, the teacher said excellent, the word Chenxu will be continued. ”
Zhao Jingyi was noncommittal, and said after a long time: "It's better to listen to Xi'er." ”
Then I heard Lin Xi's clear laughter.
The day of the crown was in the beginning of spring in March, and before that, Miss Xiao San of the Yongning Hou Mansion got married first.
Although it is a high climb, it is also a low marriage, knowing that the Yongning Marquis Mansion is not satisfied with this marriage, the Song Guogong Mansion is also obedient, and the dowry regulations should be based on the Yongning Marquis Mansion, giving a posture of asking for marriage.
Although Liu was ready, watching her son-in-law, who was not a few years younger than herself, go out with her daughter who had been pampered for 18 years, the sourness in her heart still made her cry.
"What can I do in the future......
Yongning Hou was dissatisfied with this daughter, and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, so he couldn't help but comfort: "On the big day, just restrain yourself, you and I are here, and there will be Heng'er in the future, and I will never let the Li family bully me." ”
Bai Shi helped his mother-in-law and sighed in his heart.
Xiao Yuheng walked towards the sedan chair with his sister on his back, he looked at his brother-in-law who was a round older than him with a complicated face, and whispered to Xiao Jinxin on his back: "Xin'er, you have to rely on yourself in the future, don't be so willful as at home, you are in a hurry, be careful to suffer." ”
"Big Brother ......"
Hearing Xiao Jinxin's choked voice, Xiao Yuheng felt a twitch in his heart, this mother's sister-in-law, her feelings are always different from those of other concubines, but in the future, it will be someone else's family.
"Remember, you are the aunt and grandmother of the Yongning Hou Mansion, don't be afraid, my brother always protects you, if Li Rang bullies you, you can come back, and my brother will support you. ”
Hearing a sob, as if feeling the bride on his back nodded, Xiao Yuheng's throat was sour and unspeakable, but when he came to the sedan chair, he suddenly heard Xiao Jinxin say, "Is he here?"
One breath suddenly blocked his chest, Xiao Yuheng almost stood unsteadily, he turned around and squatted down, and let the maid help Xiao Jinxin into the sedan chair. He watched Xiao Jinxin clasp the hand of the red wedding dress, took a deep breath, leaned close to the sedan chair, and said word by word: "He didn't come, and he won't come, Xin'er, die, live a good life." ”
The sedan curtain hung down, the suona horn sounded, and a long song of "sedan chair" was sung, and the wedding team set off for the Song State Mansion.
Most of the people were empty in an instant.
Lin Xi went to the Song State Mansion with Xiao Yuheng and Xiao Yuqi, and did not return to the mansion until the banquet was dispersed in the evening.
After the three dynasties returned to the door, they hurriedly sided, at that time Xiao Jinxin had combed the woman's bun, her eyebrows were open, and her complexion was ruddy and shiny, which showed that the newlywed days were not bad, and it also made the Yongning Hou couple relieved.
It will be a month before we meet again, Lin Xi and the crown ceremony.
Lin Xi is just a showman, but he can't stand to have a good teacher, and Mr. Bai is the master that Emperor Xia Jing fancies, and before noon, the car of the Nine Emperor Princes arrived, together with the emperor's reward.
Now no one in the court knows the Nine Emperors, Concubine Min's grievances have been washed, and he has become the emperor's favorite prince, and the old Mr. Bai who is favored by King Shu of Liang and does not let them bother him, the Nine Emperors have become a frequent visitor.
Then not only did the Nine Emperors come, but even Prince Rui also brought Xiao Shizi to watch the ceremony, and he looked familiar.
Lin Xi saved Zhao Yuanrong, this is not a secret, Zhao Jingyi can come, it is reasonable.
Immediately afterwards, the congratulatory gifts from the Liang Wangfu and the Shu Wangfu also arrived, I don't know if I heard any rumors, and suddenly Lin Xi's crown ceremony caused many side eyes.
Lin Xi didn't marry, so Mrs. Tai sat in the Lin Mansion to entertain the female dependents, looking at the grandson with clear eyebrows and elegant and dignified, thinking of the hidden disease, no matter how much joy she had, it was discounted.
Liang Wangfu is naturally Xiao Jinlan, she is still wearing a luxurious dress, with a variety of pearls, a gorgeous and delicate face, holding a fan, and looking at Lin Xi who came in to kowtow to Mrs. Tai with a complicated look in her eyes.
She looked away and saw Xiao Jinxin to the side, so she smiled sarcastically, Xiao Jinxin came here alone today, and Li Rang's figure never appeared.
has been married for more than a month, but I don't see the shy and happy color of the bride, even if she is coated with thick fat powder, she can't hide the tiredness and haggard complexion in Xiao Jinxin's eyes, even if you don't say it, you can guess what it is.
Xiao Yuheng boarded the gate of the Song State Mansion once in only ten days.
Lin Xi bathed and burned incense, dressed in plain clothes, knelt in front of Lin Qing's tablet, bowed three times, and burned incense three times in the incense burner.
The Marquis of Yongning got up and knelt in front of Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai admonished and gave the words, Xiao Yuheng came with a Confucian costume in his hand, Lin Xi wore it on his body, tied a belt and bowed his head to Mr. Bai. The latter took the jade crown in Xiao Yuheng's hand and put it on Lin Xi's head, and the hairpin was stable.
"May you not forget your original intention and stick to your heart. ”
"Disciple remember. ”
The ceremony became a gift, and after Lin Xi's rite of adulthood, he could really be called a unique person who could support the meaning of the portal.
Zhao Jingyi sat on the upper seat, the tea was not in, and his eyes were burning as he watched Lin Xi's gestures and face. Lin Xi, who was wearing a jade crown, seemed to have faded away all the youth and immaturity in an instant, and was more elegant, gentle as jade, and a gentleman.
A green pine tree tightens the rock and soil, standing on the cliff of the mountain rock, and will not fall down in the wind and rain, and there is no need for shelter.
