89. The whole inner house is the face of the saint
Today, Lin Xi didn't go to the Bai Family Academy, and went straight back to Lanyue Xuan when he arrived at the Hou Mansion.
In the main hall, Zhou's mother waited with the maids and mothers-in-law from Lanyue Xuan, except for the reunion, the rest of the maids trembled, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.
Under the hall, Jixiang had been pressed to her knees by the five flowers, and she had a sweat towel stuffed in her mouth, and there were two guards standing next to her.
Lin Xi walked in unhurriedly, sat down, took Tuan Tuan's tea bowl, took a sip to relieve his breath a little, and then raised his eyes to look at the auspiciousness on the ground condescendingly.
Even though this girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old closed her mouth and couldn't speak, her eyes were full of resentment and a trace of fear.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, did not speak, but drank tea leisurely, thanks to the blessing of the prince of the world, and the tribute, it was sweet aftertaste.
The whole hall was quiet, Ruyi, who was in the same room as Jixiang, looked at Lin Xi, his face showed a look of anxiety, and then looked at Jixiang, who was struggling and unwilling, and was even more worried, biting his lip and wanting to speak, but he was suddenly glanced at by the circle in front of him, and he was suddenly shocked, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
She can't protect herself, how can she intercede for her.
Mother Zhou stood beside Lin Xi with a solemn expression, and a pair of sharp eyes swept over a dry maid, and people bowed their heads one after another.
The surroundings are too quiet, the quietness of this needle drop can be heard, and the anger of Ji Xiang's body gradually quiets down, under the quiet sense of oppression, I don't know when the sideburns left a cold sweat, a trance, as if she figured out something, the resentful gaze condensed into a pleading, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly whined a few times, as if she couldn't bear it.
Lin Xi looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Since I can't raise it, I won't raise it, Mother Zhou, go to Chongjin Hall and ask Mother Ren to come over." ”
didn't beat or scold, and still had a smile on his face, as if he was gentle on weekdays.
Zhou's mother answered, and then went out of the hall, and after a while, she invited Ren's mother over, and there were two mothers-in-law with thick waists.
Mother Ren's eyes swept away, and she saw the auspiciousness of the restraints on the ground, and then saw Lin Xi in front of the hall looking at her with a smile, how could she not understand.
A glance passed, and the two mothers-in-law behind him walked to Jixiang's back doorpost like a pestle, Jixiang shook his shoulders and looked up towards Ren's mother, one of the mothers-in-law reached out and firmly grabbed her hair and pressed it to the ground.
"Mother Ren, this girl is a slave maid of the Hou Mansion, very clever, but my yard is too small, she is afraid that she will not look down on it, even so, there is no need to be strong, so I asked Mother Ren to take people back to find another job." ”
Ren's mother is auspicious, her mother is in charge of the needlework room, and Lao Tzu is in charge of the grange, which is more important. Lanyuexuan has a simple population, Lin Xi is easy to serve, and he comes here to be a maid and stay away from the rights and wrongs of the Hou Mansion. When she first chose the maid, her mother said a lot of good things before she asked Ren's mother to send her to Lanyuexuan, but now it's good, and she has crooked thoughts first.
If you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, you can't blame others.
Mother Ren's face was also hot, and she glared at Jixiang fiercely, and then said with a smile: "Young Master Cousin is too kind-hearted, there is nothing to say about killing a girl who eats inside and outside like this." ”
Lin Xi smiled, didn't speak, but picked up the tea.
Ren's mother laughed twice, and when she saw that there was no room for maneuver, she didn't say anything more.
How much Mrs. Tai loves this grandson, she knows it in her heart. was directly asked by Lin Xi to go back, no matter who was standing behind her, Mrs. Tai's anger was probably the end of this girl.
hateful and pitiful last glance, Ren's mother waved her handkerchief, and the two mothers-in-law immediately grabbed Jixiang and dragged her out, and so far she has not been given a chance to speak.
naively thought that she would be able to return to the Hou Mansion and still be a carefree maid after leaving Lanyuexuan, and she could still have a hairy little girl to serve as before, but she didn't know that once she was abandoned by her master and retreated into the distance, her life would be over.
Regardless of whether her old son has a place in this inner house steward, after all, she is just a child of a family, and it is up to the master to kill and sell.
It seems that at this time, when he found out about the coming fate, Jixiang suddenly struggled, and the strength that came from nowhere was really struggled away by her, and he knelt in front of Lin Xi with a puff, kowtowed hard, and hit the ground, banging, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"There is no need to make such a big gift, I have always disliked the difficulty of strong people, if you want to go elsewhere, then go. Lin Xi said very gently, swept around lightly, and asked sincerely again, "If anyone else has thought of a good place, don't scruple, I will let her go together." ”
It's really benevolent.
But it frightened the remaining maids to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, showing their loyalty again and again. Loyal servants don't care about the two masters, some people don't understand, but others are clear.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, there was no regret in his heart, to be honest, it was enough to have reunion sisters around him, and it was better not to have a maid with two hearts with ill intentions.
As auspicious, one or two girls and mother-in-law also asked Lu's mother to come over, and they also brought them back.
After these people left Lanyue Xuan, they didn't know what to do with everyone.
But I only knew that on the second day, no one saw auspiciousness again.
Even the one in Mei Jingyuan was also grounded, and Mrs. Tai sent Qi's mother over to reprimand her for the first time, and the Liu family used an extra bowl of rice that day.
Lan Yuexuan was cleared up and down in an instant, and it leaked like a sieve before, but now it is not an iron bucket or a light one, and anyone can hear the news.
Let's talk about Zhao Yuanrong.
In front of Lao Tzu Zhao Jingyi, this prince is pouting, crying, splashing, rolling and not giving face, but in front of Lin Xi, he is well-behaved, obedient, coquettish, likable and sticky.
It's hard for this kid to be so changeable.
The father-in-law personally welcomed Zhao Yuanrong into the imperial study.
"Rong'er is here. ”
Emperor Xia Jing rarely had a free time, and he was practicing big characters.
"Rong'er has seen the emperor's grandfather. ”
Zhao Yuanrong knelt down steadily, his voice was crisp and loud, and he raised his head with a big smile.
"Why are you so polite, the ground is cool, Rong'er is here for Grandpa. Emperor Xia Jing beckoned to Zhao Yuanrong with a smile, looking amiable.
Without waiting for his father-in-law to help him, Zhao Yuanrong had already stood up refreshingly and walked to Emperor Xia Jingdi's side.
Touching his head, Emperor Xia Jingdi pointed to the big characters on the table and asked, "Rong'er, do you recognize what I wrote?"
"I know, God rewards hard work. ”
"Do you know what it means?"
Zhao Yuanrong nodded confidently.
"That's rare, tell me. Emperor Xia Jing took his father-in-law's teacup and asked.
"God will only be kind to those who work hard and diligently, and only when they are fully prepared can they grasp the opportunity to succeed. ”
"Yes, some insight. ”
"Uncle Huang has won the prize. Zhao Yuanrong touched the back of his head and smiled shyly.
Emperor Xia Jingdi laughed, picked up Zhao Yuanrong, and said to his father-in-law: "Go get some small snacks, I remember that Rong'er likes Poria cakes." ”
Zhao Yuanrong hugged Xia Jingdi's neck, bent his eyebrows, he didn't say that he didn't like to eat this kind of pastry very much, but tilted his head to Xia Jingdi's ear and whispered: "Didn't the imperial uncle and grandfather ask Rong'er to come to read to the uncle of the Nine Emperors? What about others? Rong'er has never seen it." ”
Emperor Xia Jing chuckled twice, turned his head and ordered, "Go and summon the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Father-in-law smiled and stepped back.
Emperor Xia Jing hugged Zhao Yuanrong and sat back on the dragon chair to speak.
"Your father Wang is good at dancing knives and guns, but he can't dance and ink, the master of Chongwen Pavilion loved and hated him back then, and now he is haunted. However, Rong'er is so smart and studious, I am very pleased that she must be loved by her master and learn real knowledge. ”
Zhao Yuanrong pouted and said: "It's just that Rong'er also wants to go into battle to kill the enemy like his father and defend the frontier for the emperor's uncle and grandfather, but my father's big villain said that I was squeamish and weak and not good at practicing martial arts, so he refused to teach me." ”
"You, taking care of your body and living a long life will be my greatest relief. ”
The father-in-law came and went, and the little palace maid at the back gave a stack of exquisite small snacks and snacks, and Emperor Xia Jing took a piece of Poria cake to Zhao Yuanrong.
Zhao Yuanrong took it, put it in his mouth, and ate it slowly, it was very elegant, but he gradually had the shadow of his cousin.
After eating, he took the palace maid's handkerchief and wiped his hands, Zhao Yuanrong grabbed Xia Jingdi's sleeve and asked: "I heard that I didn't do well to read it to the prince's uncle, so I want to beat my hand, isn't it?"
When Zhao Jingyu walked into the imperial study, he happened to hear the crisp voice of a young child coming from inside, and subconsciously paused, and then heard Emperor Xia Jing say: "Nonsense, Rong'er is noble, who dares to beat you with a hand, sue me and have to get rid of his position, but I am just looking for a playmate for you, you don't need to take it seriously." ”
"Initiating the performance of His Majesty, the Nine Emperor Princes ask to see you. ”
The eunuch standing at the door sang loudly.
Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to walk in and kneel down to visit, "Erchen greets his father." ”
"Let's get up. ”
"Father Xie. Zhao Jingyu got up after saluting respectfully, and when he looked up, he saw a child in plain clothes looking at him curiously, his face was a little pale, lacking blood, it could be seen that his body was a little weak, but he looked very cute.
This is the companion who suddenly fell from the sky, but it is unknown who is whose companion, Zhao Jingyu sighed in his heart.
He arched his hand, "Shizi." ”
"Uncle Jingyu, my name is Rong'er. ”
Zhao Yuanrong greeted with a smile, but looked at the Nine Emperor Princes in front of him who should have been wiped out in the palace and suddenly appeared in the field of vision.
It looks a little dark, the body is relatively thin, and the clothes on the body are newly made, but the color does not match the whole person and the whole person is getting blacker, which shows that the close-fitting palace maid is new and will not take care of it.
The previous life didn't seem to be good, and Zhao Yuanrong had an idea of how to get along with each other.
Zhao Jingyu was a little surprised, this little prince could call his name directly, even the emperor may not remember it, and he suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
"Uncle Jingyu, I'm younger than you, you have to take care of me more. ”
Zhao Jingyu couldn't refuse at all in the face of such a well-behaved Zhao Yuanrong, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only nod, "Don't worry, Shizi." ”
But he didn't dare to call Zhao Yuanrong's name directly, and he was a little bored at a glance.
The uncle and nephew were friendly and harmonious, and Emperor Xia Jing was in a happy mood, and it seemed that his son was also more pleasing to the eye.
Near noon, someone came to Fengci Palace, and Zhao Yuanrong was invited to Fengci Palace for lunch at the behest of the Queen Mother.
So the son took his leave. "At this time, there has never been Zhao Jingyu's share.
When Emperor Xia Jing was about to wave his hand, Zhao Yuanrong said, "Uncle Jingyu will go with you, accompany Rong'er." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Emperor Xia Jing, who seemed to realize that this son was also a prince, and he should go to the Empress Dowager's palace to eat.
"Jing Yu go with you, it's time to say hello to the Queen Mother. ”
"Yes. Zhao Jingyu respectfully obeyed the order, and lowered his head to see his expression clearly.
In Fengci Palace, the noble concubines and virtuous concubines of the two palaces are laughing with the Queen Mother.
Although the two of them were both drawing water in bamboo baskets, they were empty, but they didn't cheap each other, and they were all right. Laughter, witty words, a scene of sisterhood.
When Emperor Xia Jing walked into Fengci Palace with his two children, the two of them saluted and retired.
Before leaving, they all glanced at the profitable fisherman, but to their disappointment and relief, this Nine Emperor Prince Mu Mu Nene was not outstanding, and he didn't dare to look at them when he lowered his head, standing with Zhao Yuanrong, there was no prince who had not yet come to Zhao Shizi, who was the companion of whom?
The disdainful eyes flashed away, and the two graceful figures left one after the other.
And Zhao Yuanrong looked at the clenched fists of the Nine Emperor Princes for a long time before slowly looking away and saying goodbye to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is old, so she likes to summon her children and grandchildren to accompany her, Zhao Yuanrong's situation is special, the only eldest grandson of the youngest son who went early, it hurts to the bones, and he doesn't let go.
"The last time I entered the palace and hurried away, I didn't accompany me, an old woman, Rong'er, this time I have to stay longer. ”
Zhao Yuanrong snuggled in the arms of the Queen Mother and nodded obediently, "Great-grandmother, Rong'er will study in the palace in the future, and she can come to see you at any time." ”
"Is your body okay? Poor thing, I think I'm still thin and weak, and I told the kitchen to make up for it. ”
Every time he comes, it is a big supplement, Zhao Yuanrong thought of his cousin's words, felt a little helpless, and hurriedly said: "It's much better, my cousin said that he will be cured in two or three years." ”
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "That kid from the Lin family, his medical skills are indeed brilliant, the emperor, he has to be rewarded heavily." ”
Xia Jingdi smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”
The Queen Mother pulled Zhao Yuanrong to sit down, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Zhao Jingyu silently on the side, frowning slightly, "This is ......"
Zhao Jingyu stepped forward and saluted: "Grandson Jingyu, please say hello to the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother looked at his face a little confused, and saw Emperor Xia Jing explain: "Jingyu is ranked ninth, and he didn't see many people in the palace. ”
Since it was a grandson, she was naturally happy, and the Queen Mother invited Zhao Jingyu to her side, looked at it carefully, and asked with a smile: "Which palace is this child's mother concubine?
Zhao Jingyu stood in front of the Queen Mother and let her be caress carefully, her body was straight, she seemed to be at a loss, a little happy and a little panicked.
Zhao Yuanrong looked at it carefully and pursed his lips, but after hearing Emperor Xia Jingdi's sigh, he said, "Jingyu's biological mother is...... Concubine Min back then. ”
In an instant, the joy on the queen mother's face was like a flash in the pan, and she was defeated, she let go of her hand and didn't say much.
And Zhao Jingyu's full of excitement also condensed instantly, and all of them shattered when he touched it.
At lunch that day, the Queen Mother never asked Zhao Jingyu a word.
