Chapter 203: The Joys and Sorrows of Life (End of Volume II).
In the warm pavilion of the landlord of the mansion of the eldest princess of Renhe, the eldest princess of Renhe sat alone in front of the dressing table, her face was stunned for a while, regretful for a while, angry for a while, frightened for a while, and finally fixed on sadness.
She and Emperor Hongzhi are not siblings, but they are the eldest imperial sister, and they are the first eldest princess to marry after the emperor ascended the throne. However, no matter how much land is given, it can't compare to her husband's incompetence - of course she knows that because he married her, he will not be able to make any further progress in his career, and even cut off the path of the rest of the Qi family, so although she hates the husband who ruined his life, she also cried bitterly when he died, without eating, drinking, or sleeping. But now, she and his only son, the only life, are in jeopardy, how can she not be confused?
It's just that one thing, the emperor and queen were cold to her, thinking that she took the things given by her son into the palace and could mend the relationship, but who expected that it would be another catastrophe in the blink of an eye. After the son was summoned to the palace by the crown prince, he lost his soul after coming back, and if she hadn't found out early, I was afraid that the little guy would even do something stupid.
After thinking about it, the eldest princess became more and more uneasy, and finally Suo got up and went to the front of the Buddhist shrine at the back, reverently put three incense sticks, kowtowed again, and finally folded his palms and muttered to himself: "God bless Liang'er...... I only hope that he can endure this hardship and get through this ditch. If that's the case, I'd rather eat a long fast for the rest of my life than never have a bit of meat again......"
"Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess!"
After kneeling on the futon and reciting the scriptures for a long time, when she heard the voice outside, the eldest princess was startled, and when she was about to stand up, her knees were completely numb because of kneeling for a long time. She could only call someone in, and when she saw that the girl's face was full of joy, she felt relieved, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is Liang'er back?" ”
"It was Xing Anbo who personally sent people back, and he is at the second gate at this time!" This girl is the confidant of the eldest princess Renhe, and when she saw that the eldest princess was sitting there paralyzed, she hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and said again, "The messenger said that he saw with his own eyes that Xing Anbo helped our young master out of the car, and it didn't seem like he had a bad idea. Thankfully, this stubble is definitely in the past! ”
Having said that, without seeing her son, where could the eldest princess Ren and the eldest princess put her mind at ease, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and told the girl to help her out. Despite wearing a thick crane coat, she still shivered when she walked out of the warm room to the freezing outside. After walking a stone's throw west along the corridor, she saw Qi Jiliang walking briskly, and she couldn't help but stand for a while, and then quickened her pace to meet it.
"Mother......
"My son, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
The eldest princess of Renhe hugged her son into her arms, and repeated it several times excitedly, and when she heard Qi Jiliang gasp, she hurriedly let go of her hand, and when she saw her son's hard-suffering appearance, she couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly took someone's hand and rushed back. When she re-entered the landlord's warm pavilion, she immediately drove out all the idlers and others, and let her henchmen watch outside, and then untied Qi Jiliang's clothes without saying anything. As soon as she took off her outer robe and middle clothes, she saw that Qi Jiliang's body was wrapped in a thick white cotton cloth, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and then she stretched out her hand tremblingly, but as soon as she touched the white cloth, she suddenly retracted.
"Liang'er...... It's useless to be a mother, and I'm sorry for you......"
"It's okay, mother, it's really okay!" Qi Jiliang's eyes were also red, and he sniffed vigorously, and then said with a smile, "It's just a little flesh injury, Uncle personally plucked the thorns for me, cleaned and bandaged them, and it will be fine in a few days!" Mother, my uncle is a good person, and if he forgives me, he will definitely help me make peace in front of the world......"
"Really?" Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess of Renhe got carried away and grabbed Qi Jiliang's shoulders tightly, and saw that her son's brows were frowned, but she nodded heavily, so she hurriedly let go of her hand, and then wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and then broke into a smile, "Then I'll rest assured...... However, Xing'anbo really wrapped up your wound personally? ”
Seeing Ren and the eldest princess with an unbelievable look on their faces, Qi Jiliang remembered his gaffe at that time, and his face turned red, so he explained the situation of his guilt in the main hall of Xing'an Bo Mansion, and when he talked about Xu Liang's admonition, he couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Mother, I only knew that I was wrong after listening to my uncle's admonition, I shouldn't be so anxious, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded, and I fell into someone's trap as soon as I was instigated......"
As soon as the eldest princess Renhe heard the word trap, she immediately became solemn, and when Qi Jiliang intermittently explained how she found out from Ying San that it was Zhu Houzhao Xu Xun who went to her house to make trouble, and how Ying San suggested that she go to find Xu Yi and instructed her to spread the news, she only felt inexplicably frightened in her heart, and once couldn't help but want to raise her hand to give her son a hard slap, but finally put her hand down. After a long time, she stretched out her right hand and brushed the messy hair in front of Qi Jiliang's forehead, and sighed deeply.
"You also said these words to Xing'anbo?"
"I said it in the car when I came back. Since he has done so to me, I should no longer deceive him. Of course I admit it's my fault, but I don't want to spare that guy! ”
"Then this uncle is really a good-hearted gentleman." The eldest princess of Renhe exhaled softly, and seeing Qi Jiliang's face full of approval, she said bitterly, "When you were in Xing'anbo's Mansion, you haven't confessed the person who instigated it, and he can let go of his grievances and treat you like this, even if you are a child, this heart is extremely rare." After all, if there is such a case of impersonating the royal family, whether it is me or you, we have already lost our sacred heart, and people can't scold us. Thank goodness you've met a rare number of good people. ”
In the evening, when Jiao Fang returned home from the ministry, he learned that Qi Jiliang went to Xing'anbo's Mansion to take the blame, and Xing'anbo Xu Liang personally sent people back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Although he had heard that Zhu Houzhao had called Qi Jiliang to be furious, and he also knew that the son of the eldest princess had been exposed, it was still a little unexpected for things to suddenly develop to such a point.
Qi Jiliang is so pustug, and Xu Liang, who values his son the most, can afford to put it down so much, this is really incredible!
Thinking that the emperor has not made a decision for a long time, Ma Wensheng is very likely to pass another level, although he is full of unwillingness, but there is no need to do anything at this time. After all, the third eagle had already asked Li Zheng to send someone out of the capital, and he also asked people to tease Wu Yu Wang Gai and others, and he did not show up in person, and he didn't touch the whole thing at all. The only thing that has some deeds, that is, he and Li Rongduo have met twice, but they have not left documentary evidence, and no one can catch him.
"Li Rong is still a little indecisive, no wonder he will be pressed on his head by the younger Xiao Jing!"
Only then did he grit his teeth and burst out such a sentence, and the voice of the housekeeper Li Zheng came from outside: "Master, the little one has an important matter to report." ”
"Come in!"
Jiao Fang drank in a deep voice, and not long after, Li Zheng tiptoed into the house. After bowing his hand, he whispered: "The old man asked the little one to do it, and the little one entrusted the East Factory for a few times, and finally he already had eyebrows." The scholar Yunfu that our house took in a while ago is actually not a helpless slave whose parents died. His real surname is Xu, is a Jinling people, a few months ago in the capital, at that time in the name of Xiucai in Xicheng and a few next year to take the exam for a while, and then got a letter from home, suddenly disappeared, and then it was the impostor to recommend people to our family. ”
"Jinling people's name, surname Xu ......"
Jiao Fang thoughtfully tapped the armrest with his fingers, suddenly stopped, and a fine light flashed in his eyes: "Send someone to Jinling to investigate, it is the Xu family in Taipingli, who once had a conflict with Xu Xun, the son of Xing'an, but there is a person similar to Yunfu!" ”
"The master is saying......" Li Zheng was frightened, and immediately forked his hands should be, and when he was about to withdraw, he suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "Yunfu is still on duty in the study during the day, and only the master does not need him when he comes back at night, and now that his identity is suspicious, do you want to change him on an errand?" ”
"No!" Jiao Fang shook his head categorically, "It's okay to keep him here, there's nothing in the old man's study!" "Wouldn't he be a fool if he left those pen-and-ink documentary evidence here?
In a barracks next to the school yard in Xiyuan, seeing those hundreds of households going out with a few general flags and small flags, Xu Xun immediately stretched out very unimpressively. Seeing that Wang Shouren was also there and tapped his shoulder, he smiled and said, "What, I have accompanied the little marquis to pull the bow for a long time today?" ”
"That's not true, today I told the little marquis about the military of Juyong Pass and Shanhaiguan, and he was very interested. Although he doesn't have a long surname, everything is based on his surname, but he really has some talent for marching and fighting, and many things are extremely accurate. Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and then looked at Xu Xun with some amusement, "No wonder you dared to bet with me before, it turned out that you won him in that archery and aroused his competitiveness, it turns out that Brother Xu, you are also secretly working hard behind your back!" ”
"There's no way, the foundation is poor, and you can't do it without work." Xu Xun spread his hands and said very simply, "I am the real one who can't write or write, and now I'm being driven to the shelves, it doesn't matter if I can't memorize all the four books and five classics, but if I can't take the bow and horse at all, someone may find fault in three months." To be honest, if only I had my father's kung fu. ”
"Oh, Lord Lingzun is very good at arching horses?"
"That's right, it shouldn't be worse than you." Xu Xun looked at Wang Shouren, who was full of curiosity, and smiled slyly, "What, you don't believe it?" When we get out of the West Garden after the big reading, you and I go home and have a game with my father! ”
Wang Shouren was most proud of his archery skills, and when he heard this, he immediately replied without thinking: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" ”
In the middle of the night, in the backyard of Xing'anbo's martial arts arena, under the light of the four torches at the four corners, Xu Liang bent his bow like a full moon, and saw a long arrow with pitch black coming out of the string, crossing a hundred steps away, and deeply submerged into the arrow target. At this time, Tao Hong, who was on the side, ran forward as soon as he slipped away, glanced at the arrow target and shouted at Xu Liang: "Master, hit the target!" ”
"I haven't practiced night arrows for a long time, and my hands are still a little raw...... In the past, you can hit one with two arrows, but these are three arrows, so it's easy to hit the target once! Xu Liang sighed to himself, and finally looked up at the dark night sky, "It's snowing again, and I don't know if the kang in the West Garden is hot enough......
In the night sky, sporadic snow fell, this is the first snow after entering the wax moon, and it is also the last snow of this winter.
