Chapter 60: Merlin's Farewell - True Affection
Ling'er's trip to her mother's house was quite smooth, thinking that she was really a bodhisattva, and the mother and daughter in the ice and snow park had no affection for her. But not to mention that he saved Ji Xue'er, he also saved Aunt Xia, and the key is to leave some more resentment in the Liu family. "Well, whatever, anyway, that dead old witch never wants to see me, and it's not so bad," Ling'er thought about it and concluded.
Qingxi and Nuo'er naturally knew what the young lady meant, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, so they lowered their heads and went about their own business. Today, Fangfei Yuan added a meal, and the three masters and servants were busy preparing various ingredients, which was very lively.
"Ling'er is delicious today, this young master is really a good mouthful," Mu Chenfeng said with a flattering look on his face.
Ling'er turned around and saw that Mu Chenfeng had changed his previous style today, wearing a purple-red robe, lined with joy on his jade face, he really looked like a rich son. Speechless: "Mu Shenxian, you are really a fairy, I think you should set up a fortune-telling stall in the Moon Tower, and calculate peach blossoms or something for those sons and daughters of wealthy families every day."
Mu Chenfeng heard this, and put on a serious appearance and said: "Money is something outside the body, and eating the food made by Ling'er himself is a great enjoyment in the world, as you said, "Life is in the world, eat and drink", and after speaking, he went to the hall to sit and wait for the food to be served.
Ling'er copied a plate of rock candy elbows out of the pot a few times, and suddenly said to Qingxi: "Aunt Xia has to go to the Xiangfu family temple tomorrow, right?"
Qingxi nodded and said, "Exactly, Miss still has something to worry about, and it's not that she is so close to us, so it's impeccable to do this."
Hearing Qingxi say this, Ling'er thought about it, and continued to cook with great interest. It didn't take long for Nuo'er to count the butterflies in the small kitchen, and there were already as many as ten. Ling'er hurriedly stopped her hand and said with a smile: "As soon as I start making hometown dishes, I want to eat all kinds of things, and I can get more."
Ling'er went to change her clothes and eat, and as soon as she entered the small hall, she saw that in addition to Mu Chenfeng, King Heng didn't know when he came back and was sitting at the table drinking tea. Ling'er tugged at the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh, but she felt that there was nothing funny, so she also pulled over the chair and sat down.
There was a table full of dishes on the table, Mu Chenfeng was salivating, and he just picked up the chopsticks to eat. Ling'er stretched out her hand and suppressed: "Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night to protect Aunt Xia's mother and daughter, if there is a bad pool, I am sure to let you spit out all the food."
Mu Chenfeng looked up at Ling'er's face slightly, and then turned his head to look at King Heng. King Heng didn't do it, but he picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself, and after eating for a while, he saw that the two were still deadlocked, Fang said: "As soon as we left the Xiangfu Gate, the Liu family asked people to send a decoction to Aunt Xia, because Young Master Mu would rather not eat than agree to your request."
As soon as these words came out, Ling'er was suddenly shocked, and asked after a while, "Is that Bing'er okay?"
Mu Chenfeng took advantage of Ling'er to let go of his hand, hurriedly looked at his favorite sweet and sour loin and stretched out his chopsticks, and continued: "Since the prince said so, it means that Aunt Xia's mother and daughter are all fine, don't worry, eat well, don't pity this table of dishes."
Ling'er looked at King Heng again, still with that calm and breezy appearance, and any more words disturbed his tranquility, but this person was really a man with a careful heart. couldn't help but put his mind at ease, "hehe" smiled: "That's good, after all, they are all my relatives, and I can't bear to see them bad."
For a while, everyone had their own meals, and they were very happy to eat.
There was nothing to say at night, and at dawn on the second day, when Ling'er woke up, King Heng had gone to court as before. Nuo'er came in to serve and freshen up, and said while combing Miss's hair: "Miss is going to send Aunt Xia today?"
Ling'er nodded and said: "That's natural, the homesick temple is cold after all, you will take out some of our softness later, and then take five hundred taels of silver to me, even if I have a little heart for the poor mother and daughter."
Nuo'er smiled slightly: "Miss must have been reincarnated by a Bodhisattva in her previous life, and her heart is so good, Aunt Xia treated you like that at the beginning, and it would be good to be someone else and not step on it again."
Ling'er wrinkled her little nose in the mirror and made a naughty face, she really felt more and more that she was really beautiful in this world. Looking straight behind her, Nuo'er couldn't help but smile when she saw Miss's narcissistic expression.
The ancestral temple of Xiangfu is located in a very remote place, about a day's journey from the capital, and in the middle of winter, the road is difficult to travel, and it is even more slow. Ling'er wanted to see off Aunt Xia's mother and daughter, but naturally she didn't want others to see it, so she went out early and walked along the road and stopped at an inaccessible Merlin.
When Ling'er got out of the car, she felt the cold wind blowing on her face and made her face feel a little painful, so she couldn't help but cover her cheeks with her hands and rub them a few times. Qingxi, who was standing behind him, was about to step forward and put the cloak in his hand on the young lady, but he felt that a person suddenly approached, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me," but saw that this person was King Heng in a blue robe.
Although King Heng's martial arts are not as high as Mu Chenfeng and some other people in the rivers and lakes, he has always been extremely talented in cultivating light skills, and looking at the current Great Zhou, except for his master Xiaoyaozi, no one is invincible. Although it was late for Ling'er to set off with a stick of incense, he was able to rush over in time.
Ling'er was looking at the many amazing plum blossoms blooming in front of her, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really beautiful that I haven't seen before, the edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, I can be regarded as seeing it today." Suddenly, I felt someone put a cloak on me from behind, thinking it was Qingxi, and shouted, "Let's go and fold a few branches together and go back to insert the bottle." Turning his head, he saw that King Heng, who was smiling and groaning, was looking at him.
Seeing that Ling'er was in a daze, King Heng said lightly: "It's better if this king takes Ling'er over," After that, his hand stopped his waist, and the two of them flew into Merlin like immortals. Seeing Qingxi and Qian Duo dumbfounded, he only regarded his own prince and princess as if they were reincarnated as immortals.
It was not the first time that he was taken up by King Heng, but Ling'er still enjoyed this feeling very much, nestled in his warm arms, flying lightly in the air, and the fragrance of cold plums came to his face. King Heng casually broke off a few branches, and the two of them circled in the merlin for a while and flew back.
After the body fell to the ground, Ling'er woke up from his intoxication, hurriedly took the plum blossom from King Heng's hand, and said with a smile: "It is rare to see such a scenery today, it seems that good deeds must be rewarded."
As he spoke, a carriage drove over from far and near, and when he looked closely, it was Aunt Xia's mother and daughter. The coachman saw Ling'er and King Heng standing in front of him, and hurriedly drank the galloping carriage. Ji Bing'er slowly got out of the car, in such a cold season, she was still wearing the old cotton dress of the past, with her shoulders arched and her back shrunk, so pitiful.
Ling'er stepped forward, and Ji Bing'er saluted: "Second sister braved the cold to send her off, Bing'er thanked her sister for her mother, if there is anyone who can use my mother and daughter in the future, she will have to make a straw ring to repay her." Ji Bing'er said sincerely, and the expression on her little face was also very resolute, it was obvious that she was born in a wealthy compound since she was a child, and everything she saw was intrigue, but there were few people who were warm-hearted.
At the scene in front of her, Ling'er couldn't say whether she was relieved or sad, she only untied the fox fur cloak on her body and put it on Ji Bing'er, and comforted: "You only remember to take care of your mother when you go out this time, and if the time is ripe, I will arrange for you to meet Xue'er again."
Hearing Ling'er mention her sister, Ji Bing'er was overjoyed, and was about to open her mouth to ask, but she swallowed back and choked up: "Everything is arranged by the second sister."
For a while, Qingxi had already handed over the soft and silver tickets prepared to Ji Bing'er, so Ling'er said goodbye and turned around and walked towards his carriage.
The north wind rose again, and the weeds on the roadside were already yellow, and the grass leaves were mixed with other windblown and smashed to the frozen faces. But Ji Bing'er stood in place for a long time, watching Ling'er's carriage slowly disappear, the tears in her eyes were rolling, in this cold world, maybe only the tears are always gentle.
Ling'er lay comfortably in the carriage, holding a hot hand stove in her arms, and said heartlessly: "Why is the prince so idle today, you can come to accompany me to enjoy the plums, if your old man doesn't come, I'm afraid Qingxi and I may not be able to fold so beautiful." As he spoke, he proudly raised the plum blossom in his hand and looked at it, and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck the fragrance into his stomach to feel comfortable.
How did she know that King Heng came back from the next dynasty and heard Han Yong tell her, "The princess went out, but she only said that she would go out to relax, and she would not be allowed to follow", King Heng guessed that it must be related to Aunt Xia when he heard it. Although I knew that it should be fine, I was not at ease after all, so I chased the general out in person. King Heng smiled faintly and said: "This king is also here to enjoy the plum blossoms, how can you see such a beautiful plum blossom in the capital."
Ling'er just asked casually, and naturally knew his intentions in his heart, and said with a sneer: "The business of my hospital is getting better and better, and there are five thousand taels of silver in just this half month, if it goes on like this, I can immediately regain my freedom and go to the mountains and rivers." In the eyes of others, what she said was really ruthless, and she told King Heng that she would leave King Heng's mansion sooner or later. But what can you do if you don't cut off the love thread, you really don't belong to the royal family, and you should constantly suffer from it, as a doctor Ling'er is very sensible.
King Heng only felt the pain rolling in his heart, and turned his face slightly and said, "Ling'er doesn't think that he is not free enough, I don't have any control over your actions, do I?"
Seeing King Heng's heartache, Ling'er was a little unbearable, and said quietly: "The princess has to abide by the red tape of the royal family, there is no doubt about this, why should the prince care about me." In this way, King Heng didn't have a good conversation, the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
When they arrived at King Heng's mansion, as soon as the carriage stopped, Baili Xin'er rushed over and shouted: "Where are you going to play, since you don't bring your heart, it's really boring to me." As he spoke, he snatched the plum blossom in Ling'er's hand and admired it with admiration.
Heng Wang Fang wanted to step into the gate, only to hear a voice behind him, "The prince stays." When he turned around, it was the prince, and he saw that his face was full of panic, and he trotted to the front and saluted: "The emperor suddenly wanted to go to the paddock to hunt on a whim this morning, and the old slave was easily persuaded to persuade him, so he promised to go over and camp later, please hurry up and prepare now."
The prince was worried that it would not be safe for his father to go alone, and King Heng was grateful to him for his loyal waiting, and said: "The father-in-law will go back to the palace first, and the king will arrive later."
Ling'er listened to it on the side, and said in her heart: "If you go hunting, even if the royal hunt is small, it must be very interesting." The itching was unbearable, and he squeezed his eyebrows at the in front of him, Baili Xin'er, who was admiring the plum blossoms, and said, "Let's go and have a good time?"
Baili Xin'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, where don't she love these fights and kills, and said happily: "Xin'er is naturally boring to go alone, if my sister is willing, then it must be good, it's best to bring Princess Tranquility again."
