Chapter 67: Family Affairs of the Royal Mansion
Xiao Yu shuddered and pulled up his clothes, and said helplessly: "Shizi, I really can't live with you." Now I'm still a big girl of Fengda, in what capacity do I live in the backyard of the palace. β
Xie Jingxiu's eyes were still closed, and his face was slightly turned to Xiao Yu, and the sunlight reflected by the snow in the courtyard was jumping on his long eyelashes.
"I can hire you as the special doctor of the Yuan Wangfu, and adjust the body for the old prince in the future." Xiao Yudao, "The doctor in the house can also take the opportunity to change." β
Took the opportunity to change? In this tone, Xie Jingxiu is not satisfied with the family doctor in Yuanwangfu?
Xiao Yudao: "Don't tell the world, I am a surgeon, and my specialty lies in treating trauma. In terms of recuperating the body, doctors who are good at medicinal herbs are more proficient. In this way, I live in the palace, and my position is really embarrassing. β
Xie Jingxiu frowned slightly, and Xiao Yu said with some pleading: "The prince ......"
Xie Jingxiu finally opened his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "There is really no way to take you." β
β¦β¦ This bear child.
Xie Jingxiu finally complied with Xiao Yu's wishes, rented him a three-entry courtyard outside, completed all the formalities on the same day, and let Xiao Yu live in.
Xiao Yu sent Xie Jingxiu out of the courtyard gate, Xie Jingxiu turned around, looked around, and said, "Doctor Feng, please stay." The security here is good, and the neighbors are all well-read and courteous, so you can take Mrs. Fang to live with peace of mind. With me, you don't have to worry about anything. β
Xiao Yu was no longer polite, and said with a smile: "Then thank you to the prince." I don't really know what to do without a son. "When it's time to praise, you have to praise without hesitation.
Xie Jingxiu was really in a very happy mood, and nodded to him: "Then you go back to the house." β
"Let's ask the prince to get into the carriage first." Xiao Yudao. How can there be a reason why the guest is still standing at the door, and the host goes back first.
Shizi said: "You go in first, I'll watch you here." β
"......" Forget it, let's go back, otherwise I don't know what kind of romance idol drama will be played by the son.
Xiao Yu waved his hand indiscriminately, and closed the courtyard door and went back to the house.
Xie Jingxiu: "......" stood outside the door for a while, Xie Jingxiu walked to the carriage, and the little servant respectfully stepped forward to open the curtain.
"Go back to the palace."
In the palace of the Yuan King, in the corner of the ancient courtyard that reveals the atmosphere of luxury everywhere, there is a simple mansion that is like a commoner's house quietly located there, and there is a sense of incongruity with the surrounding grass and trees.
The door of the small courtyard is half hidden, and through the half-open doorway, you can see a wooden loom under a large tree in the small courtyard, and the loom is already covered with snow.
A half-white-haired woman pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, all the way into the warm pavilion where the earth dragon was burning. There was a low couch by the window in the warm pavilion, and a plainly dressed woman was leaning against the window to embroider the embroidery shed in her hands.
"Princess, the prince has moved back from Huai." The mother-in-law walked up to the woman, bowed her head and whispered.
The woman just nodded slightly, her eyes still staring intently at the half-embroidered red peony on the embroidery shed, and she didn't seem to listen carefully to what the mother-in-law was saying.
"Princess, there is one more thing...... the mother-in-law seemed to be a little difficult to speak, seeing that the woman did not mean to talk, and seemed to not care at all what she wanted to say, nor did she care whether she said it or not.
The mother-in-law couldn't, so she had to continue: "The son of the world brought a girl back, and I heard that it was still a girl who instigated her biological mother to reconcile with her biological father. β
It is not a secret that Xiao Yu took the Fang family to the gate of Fengfu to force Feng Yunfei to write a letter to release his wife, and this half a day was enough to spread throughout half of the capital.
The woman's hand paused, and finally raised her head, and it was a beautiful face that was almost forgotten at first sight. The black hair is like a cloud, loosely tied up in a bun and hung down at the back of the head, a few strands of hair blocking the cheeks, and the skin is like coagulated fat, and the skin is snowy. The willow eyebrows and apricots rolled their eyes, as if they were permeated with the warm breath of March in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were as soft as a breeze.
Just take a closer look, and you will still find that this woman with a beautiful appearance is no longer young, and there is a slight mark carved by time in the corner of her eye.
The mother-in-law bent down more respectfully.
"What's going on?" The woman spoke, and her voice still had a soft tone from the south, which was completely different from the crisp and bold accent of the capital.
"Time is in a hurry, and the slave maid only inquired about it. As soon as the prince returned to the house, he ordered his subordinates to clean up an empty courtyard, which was the cloud empty residence where the prince lived when he was a child. Since the prince was sensible, he didn't allow anyone to come near that courtyard, but he didn't expect to clean it up and live in that Fengda girl. And that Fengda girl is the girl who came to the capital from Huai with the prince and the old prince. Now there is a lot of uproar on the street, and it is said that she took her biological mother to the gate of Fengfu, forced Master Feng to write the letter of releasing his wife, and even deliberately pulled a crowd to watch, and shook off the matter of Master Feng's wife and concubine in front of everyone. β
Although Yu Qing and Feng Yunfei were untenable, everyone sympathized with the Fang family, but they would not approve of Feng Zhaoyu's behavior. Such a disobedient act of disobedience to his biological father is a great disobedience in the eyes of anyone, not to mention that there are not some disgraceful things in a high-ranking family, and no one will like this kind of person who wantonly publicizes the ugliness of the family. In the mother-in-law's words, there is naturally some prejudice.
"But the prince seems to be very interested in that Feng girl, and even the old prince is very satisfied with her." The mother-in-law frowned and said.
The woman was silent, and said after a while: "Such a woman can't enter the door of the Yuan Wang's Mansion, so let him make trouble." β
The mother-in-law passed the words to the mission, at this time the princess has already expressed her attitude, she respectfully responded, seeing the princess picked up the embroidery shed and began to embroider, the mother-in-law said goodbye, and slowly withdrew from the warm pavilion.
She was not surprised by the princess's attitude.
Princess Yuan was a talented woman from a famous family in Jiangnan that year. The princess's mother family is a scholarly family that has stood up from the previous dynasty to the present, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, several great Confucians have come out, and there are three emperors who are still admired. Every poem she made when she was in the boudoir was copied by the daughters of the boudoir, and a few of them later fell out somehow, and even the first talent of Daliang was subservient to her talent. Because of this, her heart is higher than the sky, and she also has the capital of pride.
This Yuan Palace's palace is just a delicate cage for the princess. She had already broken off her affection for Prince Yuan, and she had no intention of becoming the princess, but Prince Yuan was unwilling to let her go, so she could only stay in this mansion. She was cold, she didn't care about other things in the palace for a long time, and she couldn't get into her eyes, including her own son.
Xie Jingxiu's carriage entered the palace, and as soon as he stepped out of the car, a man happened to come up to him, and when he saw him, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Jinglin gave his eldest brother a salute. The eldest brother and grandfather returned home today, and they didn't send anyone back to the house early to inform them, and the younger brother could arrange a dust-washing banquet for the eldest brother and grandfather. β
Xie Jinglin is the second son of Yuan Wangfu, and he was born from the side concubine, and he is only a month away from Xie Jingxiu's birthday.
Xie Jingxiu stood in place and gathered his cloak: "Don't be so troublesome. Go about your business. β
After speaking, he walked away, and the two little guys hurriedly followed.
Xie Jinglin arched his hand far behind him: "Junior brother sends off eldest brother." A pair of eyes stared at Xie Jingxiu's back until he walked through the hall and disappeared.
"Second young master, it seems that the prince hasn't invited the prince since he came back, and I heard that the prince brought a girl back, and he wanted to arrange for her to live in Yunkongju, but in the end he sent the girl out." The little guy behind Xie Jinglin stepped forward and whispered.
Xie Jinglin laughed: "Cloud Empty Residence? Big brother let people live in his 'boudoir'? β
When Xie Jingxiu was born, he was ordered by a high-ranking monk, and he actually said that he had the order of a rebellious minister and a thief.
This is mostly a small move secretly carried out by people who look at the Yuan Palace, the royal family has long been afraid of the prestige of the Yuan Palace, but because of the ancestral training, it can't be moved, if there is another prince of the palace who is chaotic and thieves, the emperor can sit idly by.
The name of the king side by side with that word has brought as much glory to the Yuan Wangfu as much as it has added to the burden. Yuan Wang Ye was really distressed for a while, and finally came up with an idea from the Qingke in the house, inviting the monks of Fahua Temple to change his life, only saying that before the age of two, he would treat the prince as a daughter to obey the anger in that life.
Yunkong Residence was the residence of the prince before he was two years old, and after Xie Jingxiu became sensible, he ordered someone to seal the mansion and not allow anyone to mention it in front of him.
The little servant followed Xie Jinglin all the way towards the front yard, and nodded and said, "Yes, it was the prince who personally watched the people clean it up." It's just that I found out about that girl, and she doesn't have a good reputation......"
Xiao Yu didn't know for the time being that after only one day in the capital, his reputation had gradually grown under the inquiries and spread of all β‘β‘kinds of people with and without intentions.
Of course, more than half of them are not a good name.
The rented yard was very clean, and the three of them cleaned it together for half a day. There were no outsiders here, so Xiao Yu changed back into men's clothes, and the appearance of the handsome young man made Fang Shi feel relieved for a while.
Seeing that it was not early, Bai Ling went into the kitchen to make dinner, where there were the grains and vegetables that Xie Jingxiu had already ordered to be prepared. Xiao Yu pulled Fang Shi to sit in the room and began to inform her of her future plans.
"Mother, now that you have been reconciled, it is safer for you to return to your grandfather's house. I'll inquire about the situation of my grandfather's family first, first get your dowry list back then, and go to Feng Yunfei to get back the dowry, and you can get back as much as you want. When you return to your grandfather's house, you can still live on the dowry, and you don't have to look at your aunt's face. β
Fang Shi pinched the handkerchief and said, "Can you really get the dowry back?" Feng Yunfei's current status is not as good as before......"
"Don't worry, mother, we will act according to the law, Feng Yunfei will not dare not give it. Even if he has a bit of face in front of the emperor, can the emperor still say that he is right to occupy and divorce his wife's property? Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family, but they set the law. β
Fang Shi hurriedly covered Xiao Yu's mouth: "You kid, you can talk about royal affairs casually, don't say these words." Mother listens to you for everything. β
Xiao Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.
"When the time comes, you will live with your mother in your grandfather's house, anyway, Feng Yunfei doesn't want you to live in Fengfu." Fang gently stroked the top of Xiao Yu's head and said with a smile, "When you grow up, my mother will watch you marry a wife, have children, and start a family, and then my mother can follow you to live." β
Xiao Yu pursed his lips, a little unbearable to tell the Fang clan, when the people he cared about were arranged, he planned to completely break away from this identity.
Forget it, the rice has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, so let's take one step at a time.
It's just that...... Fang's sentence of waiting for you to grow up reminded Xiao Yu that his body is only a teenager now, and he is still a young boy.
Xie Shizi just said love words to such an innocent and beautiful young man, and what did he say about the courtesy of Zhou Gong...... It's just a hooligan.
Xiao Yu held his cheeks and looked at the small snow particles floating up outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
