Chapter 24: Stay until the New Year

The wind and snow were cold in the middle of the night, but Zhao Jingyi stood motionless at the door, and Gonggong Cao next to him naturally did not move anywhere.

When he saw Lin Xi walk out of the door, bow indifferently to them and say, "Fortunately, I have not dishonored my mission", Zhao Jingyi looked at the young man's face with a light smile and couldn't help but move slightly, that feeling was ...... For a moment he couldn't tell the difference.

Zhao Yuanrong saw Zhao Jingyi come in, although he didn't call "Father", but he didn't cry or make trouble.

Even if he looked at himself with his eyes, Zhao Jingyi was already comforted.

"Lord Wang, the prince is very brave, and he has already promised the grass people to give needles, so please watch from the sidelines. ”

Lin Xi did not ask Zhao Jingyi to hold Zhao Yuanrong's hand, but let him stand in the position of a witness, which surprised Zhao Jingyi, and his eyes subconsciously looked at his son.

Zhao Yuanrong couldn't help but straighten his chest when he saw his father's surprised and happy gaze, looked back at the past, and his frightened heart also settled down.

Seeing that the father and son looked at each other for a long time, Lin Xi smiled and picked up the needle again, "Brave prince, the grass people are about to start." ”

Zhao Yuanrong stared closely at the needle glowing with silver light, pursed his lips, and nodded slowly, his small eyes were extremely firm at that moment.

When Lin Xi put away the last silver needle, Zhao Yuanrong didn't cry either, only snorted a few times because of the pain at that moment, but the whole process was too much for Zhao Jingyi to expect.

"Lord Wang, the prince is sweating, but you have to dry it quickly, and be careful of getting cold again. ”

After Lin Xi wiped the silver needles one by one with a dry cotton cloth, he carefully pinned them into the needle stone cloth bag, rolled them up and put them in the medicine box, and casually instructed.

Zhao Jingyi shook off the dry cotton cloth next to the bed and carefully wrapped her son's body. Fortunately for him, Zhao Yuanrong didn't cry, just looked at him with his eyes open.

The heart couldn't help but soften, "If you're tired, go to sleep, my father will accompany you." ”

This sentence seemed to open the shackles of Zhao Yuanrong's exhaustion, his little hand grabbed the hem of his father's clothes, although he tried to open his eyes wide, but finally closed slowly in sleepiness, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Jingyi didn't let go of his hand, still holding his son, the expression on his face was extremely soft at the moment, and his deep black eyes looked at the child's peaceful sleeping face, looking at it very carefully without blinking. The child who is closest to him in this world, the continuation of the bloodline, seems to have infinite power to tie his heart firmly.

For the first time, Zhao Jingyi noticed that his shoulders were unexpectedly heavy, but he was willing to carry them.

Lin Xi stood quietly in front of the table, his expression was calm and terrifying under the candlelight, but the eyes of the father and son in front of the bed were filled with deep sadness, once upon a time, the person who had the same fatherly love as Zhao Jingyi would never have it again.

The New Year's bell rings at this moment.

One moment, one moment...... Solemn and solemn.

Then there was the sound of firecrackers in the distance.

Lin Xi suddenly came back to his senses, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Jingyi looking at him, and the man's eyes were very surprised.

Lin Xi raised his hand and touched the wetness on his face, and suddenly his face turned red and embarrassed.

Zhao Jingyi raised his chin and gestured to the handkerchief on the side. Lin Xi lowered his head and wiped his face silently.

"It's a new year. ”

"Yes, my lord, congratulations on the New Year. ”

After Lin Xi finished speaking dryly, the two of them were speechless, but the only one present slept well, so the atmosphere was a little dull for a while, but ...... There's also a touch of eerie warmth.

At this time, the slightly shrill voice of Gonggong Cao sounded at the door.

"Lord Wang, Lin Gongzi's medicine has been decocted, but now bring it in?"

The atmosphere was suddenly broken, Zhao Jingyi carefully held the back of Zhao Yuanrong's neck, slowly put him flat on the bed, and put his back hand on the soft pillow and then slowly pulled it out, it was hard to imagine that Prince Rui, who went into battle to kill the enemy, had such a careful side.

Then he stood up, lowered his voice, and said, "Come in, be lighter." ”

"Yes. ”

Gonggong Cao personally brought in a medicine bowl and a stack of candied pastries, and put them lightly on the table, without bringing a maid.

Seeing Shizi sleeping peacefully on the bed, the sadness on his face suddenly dissipated, his eyes were full of relief, and his attitude towards Lin Xi was even more kind, "Lin Gongzi, hurry, drink it while it's hot, this snack is specially made in the kitchen to suppress the bitter taste for you." ”

"There is Lao Cao's father-in-law. ”

Lin Xi bowed, took a deep breath, walked to the table, picked up the medicine bowl, his face was wrinkled, and he looked bitter and hateful.

Zhao Jingyi looked at Lin Xi as if he was drinking wine, and raised his head quite magnificently, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and subconsciously put the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info heart saucer in front of Lin Xi.

The young man glanced at Zhao Jingyi angrily before he hurriedly took a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, but soon, his heroic face instantly became extremely satisfied, and his eyebrows and eyes immediately bent.

"Today's chef is rewarded. Zhao Jingyi heard herself say this.

Gonggong Cao glanced at his prince in surprise, only to see Zhao Jingyi with a brisk smile on his face, and Lin Xi's eyes were extremely soft.

So Gonggong Cao didn't say anything.

At this time, a report came from the door, "Lord, someone has come to the palace." ”

Gonggong Cao thought for a while and said, "It should be the New Year's dinner given by the palace." ”

At this time of year, the emperor will always reward the ministers with leftover meals, of course, although it is leftovers, but they are all untouched, and the closer they are, the more rewarded.

As the emperor's only nephew, Rui Wangfu is naturally the first.

"This king will come when he goes. Zhao Jingyi said this to Lin Xi, and then took Gonggong Cao to the front yard.

Lin Xi naturally had no meaning.

The emperor had nothing to say about his nephew, and the dishes he was rewarded with were not just good to listen to, they looked good, and the taste was also unique, and they were all hot, apparently he sent someone to send them as soon as he left the stove.

With the New Year's dinner came a lot of rewards, after singing a half-pillar of incense list, the father-in-law also cordially greeted the prince of the world is well, I heard that it is not very good, if necessary, the doctor can be sent to the palace at any time, it doesn't matter how many, and the emperor said, they don't need to have a good year if they can't cure the son.

Zhao Jingyi politely accepted the gift, and prepared a big red envelope for the father-in-law, the Tao is no longer in the way, thank you for the emperor's concern for Yunyun. When the father-in-law sent him out of the palace in the future, he immediately took the food box and returned to Qi Yunxuan.

After a night's trouble, the culprit has already fallen asleep, and Zhao Jingyi, who is tall and tall, is naturally a little hungry in his belly, and I believe that the delicate Lin Gongzi will also use some.

Father-in-law Cao put the food on the table one by one, it was full of color, flavor and taste, it was very attractive, Lin Xi couldn't help but touch his stomach when he looked at it.

"Come here, and use some with this king. ”

Zhao Jingyi sat down aggressively, and now Lin Xi didn't have to worry about it.

In addition to taking medicine, Lin Xi does everything slowly, drinking tea in small sips, and this meal is also chewed for a long time before swallowing, like a little old man, but the posture is elegant and beautiful.

And Zhao Jingyi was affected by the eating style of the rough men in the army, and he was heroic, but he was well educated since he was a child, and he didn't feel rude. He realized this and slowed down, otherwise when he, the prince, put down his chopsticks, where would Lin Xi be able to eat casually.

At this time, Zhao Jingyi hadn't realized that he had subconsciously taken care of Lin Xi, who had already had a great influence on him.

After Lin Xi drank the last mouthful of soup and put down his chopsticks, Zhao Jingyi swept the rest and signaled to put it away.

Although Gonggong Cao saw it in his eyes, he had never been a talker, so he answered in a low voice, and arranged the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet. However, he remembered that the prince was fine, so he asked: "Lord Wang, the Marquis of Yongning is afraid that he is still waiting for news, but he wants to send someone over to say something?"

"Go ahead. ”

"That Lin Gongzi ......"

This young master is going to be sent back? This New Year has arrived, but there are still people in the house, and it is always impossible to say it.

Zhao Jingyi looked at Lin Xi when he heard this, Lin Xi looked back at him again, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but heard Zhao Jingyi say: "Rest in the palace today and wait for tomorrow...... Send someone back after dawn. ”

The attitude was as tough as ever, and Lin Xi's refusal to his mouth was immediately swallowed back.

Father-in-law Cao agreed, and when he walked out of the door, he heard Zhao Jingyi's voice.

"If you are tired, go and rest, Rong'er has this king here. ”

The indescribable gentleness of the tone was hard to imagine coming from the mouth of Zhao Jingyi, who had always been cold and hard.

When Gonggong Cao came out of the door, he handed the food box to the maid who was keeping vigil, and immediately instructed the other one, "When Gongzi Lin comes out, you will take it to the east wing room to rest, and you must be careful to serve." ”

The maid was immediately blessed.

After finishing speaking, he went to arrange for someone to go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to report the news, but just after taking two steps, he saw Gu's mother standing by the eaves and looking at him hesitantly, and Gonggong Cao immediately frowned.

Gu's mother twisted the handkerchief, plucked up the courage to approach carefully, and asked with red eyes, "Gonggong Cao, is the son of the world?"

Gonggong Cao hesitated, but nodded.

Gu's mother immediately wiped the corners of her eyes, burst into tears, folded her hands, and read: "God bless, the poor son of the world has no princess, and he has suffered a great disaster, he is lonely, and he is bullied, but fortunately, God opened his eyes and survived, and now he is safe and sound, it's really good......"

"Mother Gu!" Gonggong Cao suddenly raised his voice and stopped her, seeing that Gu's mother suddenly froze her face, she frowned and said unhappily: "Mother Gu, you are an old man who serves the princess, and the prince still lets you serve the prince because of your dedicated service, you should know what you can say and what you can't say, and it is difficult to say these words to the prince?"

Gu's mother panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, how could it be, the slave didn't dare." ”

"Don't dare to be the best, what is lonely and miserable, what is God opening his eyes, is it possible that you are blaming the prince for wronging the prince?"

These words were very harsh, Gu's mother immediately knelt on the ground, ignoring the snow thick soaked clothes and pants, and said continuously: "Don't dare, how can the slave have this idea, the slave just feels sorry for the world." ”

Gonggong Cao snorted coldly, "Don't dare to be the best, what happened yesterday will the prince be cold, you know it in your heart, and the prince also knows it, for the sake of the princess, the prince didn't attack you, you can do it yourself." ”

Gu's mother just sobbed and didn't answer, Gonggong Cao suddenly felt bored, when Princess Xiao was there, this person was also a cool person, but now he is confused and useless, but the son of the world can't do without her for the time being, and it is not easy to deal with it at will, otherwise the father-son relationship that has finally eased up is afraid that it will be gone.

Thinking of this, Gonggong Cao suddenly remembered the weak young man who was resisted all the way by the prince, and he couldn't help but be happy, and then squinted his eyes, saying that the turning point was here.

So he immediately warned: "Today, the prince has decided to stay and take care of the prince, the grace of the master, you go and rest, you don't have to serve the prince." ”

After speaking, Father-in-law Cao threw up his sleeves and left.

Gu's mother stiffened in the snow with a handkerchief, and it took a long time to staggered up and leave.
