It was not until the afternoon of the same day that the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Tong County.

"Get out of the car." Xiao Xun stretched out a hand to her, Lu Nianjin sat in the carriage for most of the day, and at this time she was in poor spirits, she glanced at him with her eyelids, and put her hand on his hand a little cowardly, got out of the car, and walked in with him.

The name of this Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Tongxian County is called Jingqiu Villa, and as soon as the two of them stepped up the steps, the head of the village and the subordinates who got the news opened the door, greeted them, and knelt down and bowed, "The slave visits the prince and the princess, and greets the prince and the princess." ”

"No courtesy." Xiao Xun glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and said coldly.

When Zhuangtou Lu Er heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, bowed down and stepped forward and said, "The slave brought the prince and the princess in," Xiao Xun nodded slightly, and he said again, "The two masters of Qiqi, the autumn chrysanthemums and Xinyi flowers in the villa are blooming just right, and the servants specially let people clean up the Jingqiu Courtyard, and as soon as the courtyard goes out, it is the back mountain, and you can enjoy the flowers all over the mountain." ”

Xiao Xun let out a faint "um".

When Lu Nianjin heard that there was a back mountain, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, the group walked to Jingqiu Temple.

When he arrived here, it was inconvenient for Lu Er to go in with him, he was busy making a look at his own people, and Lu Er's family quickly took over Lu Er, and walked to Lu Nianjin's side to flatter, "Princess, the slave and maid will accompany you in." ”

Lu Nianjin glanced sideways at Lu Erjia's family, but did not speak.

When he entered the inner room of Jingqiu Courtyard, Xiao Xun saw that everything in the house was new, so he sat down, accompanied Lu Nianjin with a cup of tea, and went back to Beijing.

Lu Nianjin sent him to the door and said lightly, "Half a month later, you will send someone to pick me up." ”

Xiao Xun heard what Lu Nianjin meant, he wanted to stay here for half a month, he looked at her, his brows twisted slightly, but thinking of so many things happening in the capital, he nodded after all, and rubbed her heart, "Okay!" ”

Lu Nianjin smiled, followed, and watched him ride away before returning to Zhuangzi.

Lu Erjia waited at the second gate with his daughter Magpie, and when he saw her come back, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Princess, this is the magpie, my little daughter, and the best maid in Zhuangzi, you are in Zhuangzi during the relaxation, it is better to let her follow her and wait, this girl can do anything, and she knows the way, and she knows where to have fun." ”

Lu Nianjin glanced at the magpie, saw that it was a clever and lively girl, and nodded, "Let her follow me these days." ”

"Good, good!" Lu Erjia agreed, and then, she pushed her daughter hard again, reminding her, "It's a blessing that you can go to the princess to serve for eight lifetimes, don't you hurry up and thank the princess!" ”

The magpie was pushed by her mother and almost fell to her head, and she knelt on the ground, thanking her in a light voice.

"Get up!" Lu Nianjin helped her out.

The magpie patted the soil on his knees, stood up from the ground, and stood behind Lu Nianjin again.

Lu Nianjin glanced at her with a smile and continued to walk forward......

Back in Jingqiu Courtyard, the people in the kitchen had already sent dinner in advance, and after Lu Nianjin sat down, he ate a few bites, the cook's skills were very ordinary, but the ingredients were fresh, so the taste was not bad.

After eating, she took the magpie's hand and went out to eat for a while, and it was dark.

"Girl, let's go back!" Because of Lu Nianjin's request, the magpie did not call her the princess anymore, but called her a girl like Yun Jiang, Huanxi and others.

Lu Nianjin nodded, and the two walked towards the main room together.

At this time, the capital of the National Teacher's Mansion.

As soon as Xiao Xun returned to the house with his front foot, someone from the back foot came to report, "Prince Qiqi, Aunt Song Ying of Kunning Palace outside asks to see you." ”

Xiao Xun guessed Song Yingying's intentions, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a hint of coldness, and ordered, "Let her in." ”

"Yes, Prince!"

After a while, Aunt Song Ying was taken into the study, "The slave has seen the prince, and I will say hello to the prince." ”

Xiao Xun said "no courtesy", and asked the guards to give Song Ying a seat, and then looked at her and asked, "I don't know what happened when my aunt came to the door today?" ”

Aunt Song Ying's face was embarrassed when she heard this, and after a long while, she sighed silently and said, "Back to the prince's words, the slave maid came by the queen's decree." The queen felt sorry for Mrs. Jiang's age, but she was paralyzed in bed, and the hospital couldn't do anything, so she wanted to ask the princess to take a trip to see for Mrs. Jiang. ”

"Please ask the crown princess to go and see the old lady Jiang?" Xiao Xun looked at Aunt Song Ying and asked in a deep voice.

Aunt Song Ying stood up and bowed her hand respectfully, "Please also ask the prince to fulfill the filial piety of the queen's mother, no matter what, Mrs. Jiang is always the father of the queen's mother." ”

"Hongu understood."

Song Ying was stunned, she couldn't help but raise her head, "So, the prince agreed?" ”

Xiao Xun glanced at her, and explained with a cold expression, "What this palace means is that since the queen mother wants to be filial, then ask the queen mother to talk to the crown princess in person." ”

A touch of embarrassment appeared on Song Ying's face, "I heard that the crown princess is not in the National Teacher's Mansion. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xun said coldly, "The crown princess is always depressed now, so the palace sent her to Zhuangzi below to relax and recuperate." ”

Song Ying heard the word "recuperation", where was she embarrassed to ask for anything, the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of bitterness, bowed deeply, and said, "The prince's meaning, the slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will tell the queen mother." ”

"Then there is Aunt Lao, come and see off guests!"

When the minister heard the master's order, he immediately walked in from the outside and asked Aunt Song Ying to go out.

An hour later, Kunning Palace.

The queen leaned on the bed, and when she heard footsteps, she immediately sat up and looked at Aunt Song Ying, who was walking towards her.

"Song Ying, how is it, the crown princess is willing?" She couldn't wait to ask.

Aunt Song Ying went up and shook her head gently.

The queen's face sank suddenly, she clenched her hands, hammered the side of the bed, and said angrily, "Why does she not know how to lift so much!" ”

"In the past, Xun'er didn't recover her identity, she knew that she had to rely on the palace, but she pretended to be extremely filial, but now as soon as Xun'er recovers her identity, she has other backers, and she immediately doesn't take the palace in her eyes!"

Aunt Song Ying looked at her master like this, sighed silently, and tried to persuade, "Niangniang is angry, give the hospital some more time, they can already come up with a way to cure Old Lady Jiang." ”

The queen sneered, "Which of those old things in the Tai Hospital is not to watch people put dishes, the Jiang family is now disgusted by the emperor, it is strange that they are willing to do their best!" ”

"That'...... What's next for the mother? ”

"Let the crown princess come into the palace!" The queen said coldly, "Announce her to the palace now, the palace doesn't believe it, she can still refuse the palace in person." ”

When Aunt Song Ying heard this, she had no choice but to tell Lu Nianjin that he was not in the capital now.

After listening to this, the queen pondered for a moment before she reacted, the root of all this was all on Xiao Xun's body.

This married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother's things!

The queen's face turned dark, and she couldn't help but be angry again.

Aunt Song Ying was waiting beside her, only to feel that the queen was becoming more and more irritable now.

It's not a good thing to go on like this......

In Zhuangzi, Lu Nianjin had no dreams all night, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, it was refreshed.

Her fetal image has stabilized after more than three months, and she is not used to the cook's craftsmanship, so she simply cooks herself and prepares a breakfast for herself.

Her cooking skills have always been excellent, when the meat cake is out of the pot, the entire Jingqiu Courtyard is filled with a fresh fragrance, Lu Nianjin left the three or five that he wanted to eat, and let Huanxi take out the rest and distribute it to the subordinates of the Jingqiu Courtyard.

It was the first time for the people to eat such a delicious thing, and for a while, they really wanted to swallow all their fingers.

Huanxi also ate a mouthful of fragrant food, and when she returned to the kitchen, she suddenly smiled and said to Lu Nianjin, "Girl, such a delicious thing, shouldn't you also send some to the prince?" ”

Lu Nianjin thought of his plan, thought for a moment, and agreed.

After breakfast, she went to the kitchen again, specially made a plate of spicy beef-flavored meat cakes, put it in a food box, and handed it to Cai Hun so that he could send it to Xiao Xun at the National Teacher's Mansion as soon as possible.

Cai Hun took the meat cake and went to the capital.

When he arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, he was told that the prince was not in the National Teacher's Mansion, but had entered the palace.

Cai Hun had no choice, so he had to carry the food box and go to the palace again, he was the prince's guard, and he was also of the grade, and after showing his waist card, he entered the palace smoothly.

After entering the palace, he carried the food box and walked in the direction of the political affairs hall.

When he arrived outside the political hall, he was stopped, and it was the third prince Xiao De's people who stopped him.

"What is this?" The guard outside the hall asked.

Cai Hun glanced at the other party and patiently explained, "It's the pastry made by the crown princess herself." ”

The guard pondered for a moment and said, "There is a discussion going on inside, outsiders are not allowed to enter, you leave it to me, and I will help you send it in." ”

Cai Hun didn't know that the guard in front of him was the person of the third prince Xiao De, but after a moment of silence, he handed over the food box.

What he didn't know was that after the guards brought the food box in, they didn't send it to Xiao Xun, but handed it to the room where the third prince was first.

Xiao De watched his subordinates come in with a food box, put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned, and said, "It was sent by Concubine Ye again?" ”

Concubine Ye is a side concubine that Xiao De likes recently, and she has many gentle and charming postures, but she is a little stupid.

Who knows, the guard said, "Back to the third prince, this pastry was not sent by Concubine Ye, but by the crown princess to the prince." ”

"For the Prince?" Xiao De was interested, he beckoned to the guard, the guard immediately handed over the food box in his hand, as soon as Xiao Defu opened it, a fresh fragrance overflowed, he couldn't help but move his index finger, squinted, hooked his lips and said, "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's cooking skills are not ordinary." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a meat cake and ate it.

The meat cake was made by Lu Nianjin according to Xiao Xun's taste, the cake was crispy and tender, salty and spicy, and full of flavor. Xiao Xiaode was not very comfortable when he took the first bite, he frowned, put aside the meat cake he had bitten in his hand, and said to the little eunuch who was close by, "Tea!" ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly brought tea over.

Xiao De poured two cups of tea in a row before the spicy taste in his mouth was washed away.

The guard who brought in the food box saw that the master didn't like this snack, so he couldn't help but step forward and asked carefully, "Third prince, what are these meat cakes ......now?"

"Since this is the princess's heart for the prince, of course it was sent to the prince!" Xiao De sneered.

"My subordinates understand!" The guard answered, put away the meatloaf and walked outside.

When he walked to the door, the third prince suddenly shouted to him again.

The guard turned around in confusion, "I don't know what else the third prince commands?" ”

The third prince smashed his mouth, and said in his heart, although the taste of this meat cake is spicy, but the aftertaste is really wonderful, he was a little reluctant, and simply said to the guard, "Leave the meat cake." ”

Although the guards were full of suspicion, they didn't dare to disobey their master's orders, and hurriedly returned the food box.

The third prince opened the food box and took another meat cake to eat.

Although it is still spicy, it is really fragrant and refreshing! The secret beef filling is wrapped in a rich sauce, and every bite is soft and tender.

In the blink of an eye, he had eaten a whole plate of meat cakes......

On the other side, Cai Hun estimated that the snacks should be delivered, and he flashed towards the hood behind the political affairs hall, but when he passed by the council hall, he found that it was empty.

At first, he didn't expect that it was the guard who had taken care of the thing, so he swept his body and went towards the wing where his master was, and when he got to the outside of the wing, he knocked lightly outside.

Xiao Xun didn't expect the dead man to come to him at this time, he raised his head, paused slightly for a moment, and then said to the window, "Come in!" ”

I only heard a soft sound from the window, and the next moment, Cai Hun quietly rolled in.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Xun looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

Cai Hun glanced at the desk not far away, and saw that there was no food box he sent on the table, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked, "Didn't the prince receive anything?" ”

Xiao Xun let out a puzzled "um".

Cai Hun told him about sending dim sum for Lu Nianjin, and at the end, he specially emphasized that it was a taste specially prepared for him by the crown princess, which was spicy and fragrant, and it was very enjoyable.

Xiao Xun listened to Cai Hun speaking, his face was even more ugly than Cai Huun, he was silent for a moment, looked at Cai Hun and asked, "Which guard did you give the food box to?" ”

Cai Hun recalled the description of the guard, and described it carefully to Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun knew who it was, and he nodded at Cai Xun, "This palace knows, you can go back first." ”

Cai Hun saluted and retreated.

After Xiao Xun left, Xiao Xun went directly to Xiao De's wing.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he smelled an enticing smell of meat cakes, and on Xiao De's table, there was a special food box for the Prince's Mansion.

"Why is the prince here?" Xiao De didn't expect Xiao Xun to come to the door so quickly, and he didn't even have time to hide the food box involved.

Xiao Xun didn't talk to him, looked straight at the food box on the table, and said coldly, "This palace heard from the people below, the crown princess understands the hard work of this palace, and specially made pastries for people to send to this palace...... Third brother, can you explain, why is the food box of the Prince's Mansion here for you? ”

Xiao De listened to Xiao Xun's inquiry, but he deliberately made a surprised look, and said in surprise, "What, the prince said that this food box was given to you by the crown princess, hey, I thought it was Concubine Ye in my house who felt sorry for me and asked someone to give it to me!" It's all to blame for the uselessness of the people below, and the words can't be passed on clearly! Don't worry, prince, I will teach those slaves a good lesson when I go back! ”

"Really?" Xiao Xun looked at him and only asked coldly.

Xiao De smiled, "What, the prince doesn't believe me?" ”

"Not really." Xiao Xun looked at him, secretly tightened his hand, paused for a moment, and said, "I just suddenly want to go to the martial arts hall with the third brother to have a fight, I don't know if the third brother will give this face?" ”

Xiao De knew that Xiao Xun was a sick man, and he was very confident in his skills, and now he heard him take the initiative, and immediately agreed, "Okay! I have long heard that the prince is good, and when I get up to the fight, I hope that the prince can show mercy. ”

"Yes." Xiao Xun said softly, with a rare smile in his eyes.

Then the two of them walked towards the Yanwu Hall.

Xiao De also arrived at the martial arts hall, and after the end, he realized that he was still too simple.

Xiao Xun looked a little sick, he was athletic, even more powerful than ten able-bodied people.

Archery, equestrian, formation, marksmanship...... At the end of the round, none of his opponents were his opponents.

Especially the last bare-handed move, they all say that hitting people is not a slap in the face, but he, one at a time, greets him in the face.

By the time the discussion was over, his face was almost swollen into a pig's head, and there was no place to look.

The subordinates around him were frightened, said to Xiao Xun, and helped their master to Lu Guifei's Yilan Palace.

Concubine Lu Guifei finally lifted the grounding today, and now she is rejoicing, she has changed into a new palace dress, and plans to go to the queen to "say goodbye......

But before he went out, he saw Xiao De, who was made into a pig's head by Xiao Xun.

Seriously, if it weren't for the clothes Xiao De was wearing that she had made with her own hands, she wouldn't have recognized the person in front of her as her son.

Xiao Xun greeted Xiao De's mouth a lot, and because of this, Xiao De couldn't even speak now.

Lu Guifei could only help her son rub the medicine while asking the little eunuch next to her, "Who was the third prince beaten like this?" ”

The little eunuch also felt sorry for his master, and he was afraid that Concubine Lu would be angry with him, so he had to do everything possible to put all the fault on Xiao Xun.

After hearing this, Concubine Lu was really even more angry, and at that moment, she ordered someone to prepare a chariot, and took Xiao De in the direction of the Qianyuan Palace.

When she arrived outside the Qianyuan Palace, she couldn't even wait for the report, and directly forced her in.

At that time, the emperor was looking at the excerpts, and suddenly heard Lu Guifei's cry, his brows wrinkled suddenly, he threw the red pen hard, looked at Gonggong Fu and said irritably, "Go out and see what's going on!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Fu agreed, and walked outside.

But before he walked out of the main hall, Lu Guifei broke in first, and the little eunuch guarding the hall couldn't stop Lu Guifei at all, so he could only kneel on the ground and ask for guilt with a panicked face.

At this time, the emperor didn't care about blaming a little eunuch, he looked directly at Lu Guifei and Xiao De, who couldn't see any human appearance on his face, and said with a blue face, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't care about the little eunuch, Gonggong Fu immediately kicked the little eunuch's ass hard, and scolded in a low voice, "Don't get out quickly!" ”

The little eunuch knew that the chief manager wanted to save his life, so he hurriedly agreed and retreated outside on his stomach.

As soon as he climbed out, Concubine Lu in the palace cried and complained fiercely about Xiao Xun's bad behavior of bullying and beating the emperor's younger brother.

After listening to this, the emperor also felt that Xiao Xun, the eldest brother, had done a bit too much, and it was even more unseemly than when he beat Ning Zhaoyi.

"Go to the government hall and ask the prince to come over!" He glanced at Father-in-law Fu coldly and ordered.

Duke Fu was ordered to leave, and the emperor asked people to give Lu Guifei a seat and Xiao Dexuan as the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor arrived one step earlier than Xiao Xun, which made the emperor's already unhappy face even more ugly, he held back his anger and looked at the imperial doctor, "Take a good look at the third prince...... Will the wound on his face leave any after-effects? "But don't break the phase.

The Imperial Doctor replied respectfully, and then crawled towards Xiao De on his knees, but Xiao De's face was too bloodstained to see the real wound at all, so the Imperial Doctor had to ask people to fetch water first, and carefully cleaned his wound with a cotton handkerchief.

In the process of cleaning the wound, it was naturally a sharp pain, Xiao De's tears came out several times, Lu Guifei looked at it but her heart was distressed, and she was crying again, and she hated Xiao Xun to death in her heart.

Xiao Xun rushed over after Xiao De finished taking the medicine, he entered the main hall, and first saluted the emperor, "Erchen has seen his father, long live my father, long live long live my father!" ”

The emperor listened to Xiao De's crying for so long, his head was about to crack, and now when he saw Xiao Xun, he was furious, grabbed a stack of folds and smashed them at him, "You evil obstacle, with you, I still dare to dream long live, if I don't die of anger by you now, I will thank God!" ”

After yelling, he was angry, and smashed a wave of folds at Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun was indifferent to this, as if he didn't mind the emperor's anger towards him.

After the emperor finished venting, he stood up and arched his hand towards Lu Guifei again, "Guifei Niangniang." ”

Lu Guifei's eyes were vicious, like poisonous snakes, and she slashed at him coldly, "The prince's gift, this palace can't afford it." ”

Xiao Xun ignored her, turned around and looked at the emperor again, and asked in a light tone, "The emperor Xuan'er is here, I don't know why?" ”

The emperor didn't expect it to come to this point, he was still pretending to be confused with him, and for a while, the anger that had been vented rose again, and he looked at him coldly, "Your third emperor brother is standing by your side, can't you see the injury on his face?" ”

"Or you still don't know what to do!"

Xiao Xun heard the emperor say this, so he gave Xiao De a look, and after a while, he sighed, "The injury on the third brother's face is a little serious!" ”

"Where is it a little heavy, I see that you obviously want to kill him to the point of breaking his appearance!"
