Since Zhao Jingyi condescended to hang the lantern for his son, the atmosphere in Rui Wang's Mansion seems to be very different, and it seems to be more humane.

Father-in-law Cao's little eyes have never opened his smile in the past few days, and he is even more enthusiastic about Lin Xi in the guest house than before.

Lin Xi, who broke the jar and broke the bottom with Zhao Jingyi, had no worries, and his body was fine, although he took the medicine as usual, but it didn't matter if he got up and walked around, and accompanied Zhao Yuanrong to draw two strokes.

So Lin Xi was ready to resign and return to the Hou Mansion.

However, after saying goodbye a few times, Father-in-law Cao smiled or strongly retained, and even Zhao Jingyi said that he would raise it for another two days, so he had to give up.

Zhao Jingyi is busy, even if he is filial piety behind closed doors, there are still piles of business waiting for him.

So Lin Xi faced Zhao Xiaoshizi all day long.

Zhao Yuanrong was born rich and noble, but unfortunately his mother died and his father was not close, and he almost died in the poisonous hands of his father's little wife, if it weren't for Lin Xi, it was estimated that it would not be long before he would have reunited with Princess Xiao.

Lin Xi really feels very sorry for this child, these days together, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that he was taken care of by Lin Qing when he was a child, in addition to drawing comics to fight Xiao Shizi happily, he also subconsciously learned Lin Qing to teach Zhao Yuanrong to learn calligraphy.

It's just that although this day is leisurely, it can't last long, Lin Xi has other plans.

After a few more days, Lin Xi no longer planned to continue to live, so Zhou's mother and Yuanyuan packed up their belongings, and prepared to leave directly after saying goodbye, but they heard that Yongning Hou's wife Liu was visiting, and naturally the third lady Xiao Jinxin came with her, and now they are all here in Qiyunxuan Zhao Yuanrong.

Princess Xiao often took Liu and her sister to the palace before her death, and occasionally took Zhao Yuanrong to her mother's house, because Zhao Yuanrong was no stranger to her grandmother and aunt.

When Lin Xi arrived, Zhao Jingyi was sitting on the main seat and greeting Liu, Liu hugged Zhao Yuanrong very affectionately, Xiao Jinxin next to him teased Zhao Yuanrong from time to time, and occasionally glanced at Zhao Jingyi shyly and timidly, looking at him happily.

"Xi'er is here, show your aunt quickly, I heard that she is sick, alas, why is she so careless. Liu put Zhao Yuanrong in his arms beside his daughter, got up and pulled Lin Xi to ask for warmth, looking extremely concerned.

Lin Xi let her shake her hand for a while, then withdrew it without moving, and said with a smile: "Let my aunt worry but my nephew is not, but it's already good, I am about to say goodbye to the prince today, and it is not appropriate to disturb the house for many days." ”

Zhao Jingyi saw that Lin Xi was already dressed neatly, and Zhou's mother and Yuanyuan behind him had packed up the medicine box and baggage, and it seemed that they had made up their minds, so they didn't say anything.

However, when Zhao Yuanrong heard this, he immediately broke free of his aunt's hand, ran to Lin Xi, grabbed his legs, raised his little face and was very unhappy, "Cousin, can't you stay for a few more days?"

Children are easy to deal with feelings, and he can vaguely feel that when Lin Xi is there, Zhao Jingyi is more patient with him and more pleasant. What's more, Lin Xi will also draw comics for him, and occasionally teach him to write and tell stories.

Now that the cat and mouse plot in Lin Xi's mind has finally run out, he is now starting to serialize the Journey to the West comic strip with his memory.

Compared with a single mouse and cat, Journey to the West, which is richer in color and more vivid and interesting in the storyline, attracts Zhao Yuanrong's attention more.

This cousin, who is very interesting and can help him keep his father, is leaving, and for six-year-old Zhao Yuanrong, it is undoubtedly a fight with the sky falling.

Looking at Zhao Shizi, who was almost in tears, Lin Xi really wanted to ask Zhao Jingyi, what kind of life your son has lived in the past five years.

Zhao Jingyi's face did not change, he was cold as usual, and let his son hold on to Lin Gongzi.

Lin Xi sighed in his heart, squatted down slowly, and wanted to raise his hand to touch Zhao Yuanrong's head, but in the end, he thought about it, "Shizi, I still have to go back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion after all, and it doesn't hurt to come to the palace to stay for a few days once in a while, but if you have more, it will be unorthodox." ”

The Yongning Marquis Mansion is still standing, and it is right and wrong to say it as the nephew of the Marquis of Yongning, who lives elsewhere all day long.

There are some things, although Zhao Yuanrong is young, he already understands a lot as a prince, so he didn't do much entanglement, "That...... Can I go to your cousin?"

Zhao Yuanrong didn't ask Lin Xi, but turned his head to look at his father.

This was so unexpected that Liu almost blurted out happily: "It's okay, the Hou Mansion is your foreign home, and Rong'er can come over whenever you want." ”

But it is Zhao Jingyi who can really decide.

I saw that Prince Rui did not look at his hopeful son and mother-in-law, but looked straight at Lin Xi, and said lightly after a long time: "I'm afraid I'm bothering Lin Gongzi." ”

Of course bother!

The smile on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth could hardly be maintained, even if he liked Zhao Yuanrong again, he didn't want to have too much to do with Rui Wangfu, and he didn't need Zhao Jingyi to go to the imperial examination in the future, and in the future, he would have the idea of not coming to the door except for recuperating Zhao Yuanrong's body.

But under the eyes of his aunt and cousin, who had almost turned into substance, he could only smile and nod.

"It's too late for me to be happy that the prince can come. Zhao Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he heard Lin Xi's words turn around, "It's that winter hasn't passed, and the early spring is cold, so it's best not to be cold." ”

Don't show up for now, thank you.

After a long absence, he finally saw the gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion again, and somehow, Lin Xi felt like a world away.

In Chongjin Hall, Mrs. Tai took her hand and looked up and down for a long time before she was slowly let go, and Mrs. Tai finally just said with pity, "Xi'er has worked hard." ”

Some things, as long as you are willing to ask, are always clear.

Lin Xi didn't say much, just shook his head and pretended to be obsessed with the old lady to please him.

He can also see that the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion is also a high-grade title family, but unfortunately the official position of the Marquis of Yongning is not conspicuous, although Xiao Yunxuan is in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he is just a deputy commander, and he is free from the center of power, and in the capital, a place where powerful people gather, he can only be regarded as second-rate.

In the face of the behemoth of King Rui's Mansion, he naturally would not offend Prince Rui for an outsider, and even wished that Lin Xi could be more useful in front of Zhao Jingyi.

So thinking about it like this, Lin Xi has nothing to complain about.

He quickly changed the topic and asked puzzledly: "Xi'er hasn't returned to the house for many days, and she has come all the way to see the people busy, but her face is full of joy, but she doesn't know what is happening in the house?"

The fourth aunt Shan was also there, and when she heard this, she giggled, covered her handkerchief and whispered: "Heng'er's daughter-in-law estimates that it has only been a few days, but it's not the time to be nervous." ”

Lin Xi blinked and whispered, "Sister-in-law is going to give birth?"

"Yes, at this time, Zizhu Courtyard is on guard inside and out, and your eldest aunt is in charge, and she doesn't even dare to speak loudly with the entire mansion. ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at her, "Heng's daughter-in-law has her first child, and she is nervous, you, don't talk about it, and you will have this in the future." ”

Shan pretended to sigh, "The concubine wants to, but it's a pity that Sheng'er is still too young and is still early to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Saying that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other again and laughed.

Lin Xi looked at Mrs. Tai and then at Shan's family, and was puzzled for a while, "No, it's a good thing for my sister-in-law to give birth to a child, but she hasn't given birth yet, what is the house happy about?"

As soon as Lin Xi asked, Shan's eyebrows rose, his eyes were brighter than usual, Mrs. Tai looked at the pretending to be reserved, and said, "Your fourth uncle was promoted to the head of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division yesterday. ”

Shan's eyebrows curled, coughed lightly, smiled, and said modestly: "It's just from the fourth grade, and there are still some boils." But the glorious look on his face clearly had the word pride written on it.

Hearing this, Lin Xi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously thought of the situation in the royal palace on the night of the Lantern Festival.

It seems that the second prince of Hu Nu was not caught in the end, and the former commander He Beishan was deposed by questioning, but Xiao Yunxuan was cheapened.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of the defense and security of Kyoto, although the commander is only from the fourth grade, but he is really a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is not competent unless he is deeply favored, and the future is immeasurable, no wonder the Shan family is so happy, and the house is also full of joy.

But there are several deputy commanders, Xiao Yunxuan is inconspicuous, and the Yongning Marquis Mansion has little power in the army, and the only one who can be praised is the hot ......

Lin Xi suddenly cried and laughed, this was Emperor Xia Jing compensating his nephew, and sure enough, the injury was not suffered in vain, this did not directly promote his wife and uncle.

Lin Xi was personally "invited" into the palace by Zhao Jingyi three times and twice, to treat the little prince, and to live in the palace permanently, in the eyes of outsiders, Prince Rui still takes a fancy to this in-law.

Therefore, even if the Bai family is about to give birth, the Liu family still visits Xiao Shizi today, and even brings their unmarried daughter, but they are smashing the old good things of the in-laws of the Yongning Hou Mansion and the Rui Wangfu while it is hot, and it will be more logical for the Xiao family's daughter to enter the Rui Wangfu again in the future.

This matter is beneficial to everyone, and Lin Xi is naturally no exception, although there is an element of utilization, it is not unacceptable.

The direct beneficiary, Shan Shi, took Lin Xi's hand affectionately, with a smile on his face, "Good nephew, my aunt is also acknowledging your affection today, and I don't have anything good to give you for a while, I know that you are weak, and you just happen to have some good medicinal materials in your hands, you take them first, and then make up for them for you later." ”

"What did my aunt say, why did the family have to be so divided, not to mention that Xi'er didn't do anything, it was my uncle's hard work that won the emperor's own eyes. ”

Lin Xi naturally pushed it back and complimented it again, which made Mrs. Tai and Shan admire.

I accompanied Mrs. Tai and Shan to dinner in Chongjin Hall before returning to Lanyue Xuan.

Only when he returned here could Lin Xi exhale a heavy breath and let go of the exhaustion all over his body.

Tuan Tuan had already warmed the house, and the soup woman was also put in the quilt, carefully prepared water for Lin Xi, bathed and washed, and Lin Xi could go to bed directly refreshed.

With the candle flame lit, Lin Xi read the book for a while, and then slowly lay down when he felt sleepy.

However, I thought I could sleep well tonight, but I didn't want Zizhuyuan to start.

As soon as Lin Xi fell asleep, there was a commotion in the outer courtyard, and then the group on duty at night exclaimed, "Young Master Heng!"

From far to near, the footsteps were messy, Lin Xi opened his eyes suddenly, and when he straightened up, the door of the room was opened, and the movement was violent, making a heavy noise.

"Young Master Heng, my young master has already slept!" Tuan Tuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Lin Xi looked at the figure at the door vaguely, and asked uncertainly, "Big cousin?"

Tuan Tuan lit the candle, and sure enough, it was Xiao Yuheng.

"Xi'er, your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is about to give birth......"

Lin Xi had never seen Xiao Yuheng lose his temper like this, his eyes widened, and he suddenly had a bad omen in his heart, couldn't it...... He was about to get out of bed, but he heard Xiao Yuheng's apologetic voice, "Xi'er, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, I'm nervous, she's giving birth in it, I don't know what I can do, I want to come and go, or come to you to be quiet, you continue to sleep, I'll sit and sit, sit and ......"

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, looking at the somewhat nervous father-to-be with dead eyes, then lay down and closed his eyes.
