Chapter 24: The Family Banquet (4)
The rain outside the Ning'an Palace gradually stopped, today's Ning'an Palace, not as peaceful as its name, after Nan Xiao left, everyone got up, Miao Jing respectfully helped the queen up.
"Today's business is thanks to you." The queen bowed slightly to everyone, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her face showed a little sadness, which made people feel distressed, "The palace is also lacking, everyone is self-sufficient." Slowly turning her head and looking at Miao Jing with a worried face, she patted her hand gently, and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Don't worry, this palace is fine." Holding Ji Rong with one hand, he said lightly: "Go back to the palace." ”
"Congratulations to the queen mother......" everyone knelt down.
Out of the Ning'an Palace, the queen's face became gloomy, she got on the sedan chair, didn't say a word, and rushed to the East Palace in a hurry, Aunt Ji Rong trotted to follow with fear, and said timidly: "This matter, it's all to blame on the slave maid, it's the slave maid who is not good at doing things!" Please punish the mother! ”
The queen glanced at her, "I can't blame you entirely, this palace didn't expect that evil obstacle to make such a fuss!" The queen closed her eyes and slowly rubbed her temples with her hands, "You remember to go and get the things from the palace back later." ”
"Yes!" Aunt Ji Rong asked one more sentence: "Then ......" She wanted to speak and stopped, just to confirm that the eunuch, the mother still left......
After so many years of master and servant, tacit understanding is naturally indispensable, and the queen knows what Ji Rong wants to ask, "Keep it for the time being, this palace may still need it!" The tone was understated, as if talking about an ornament.
As soon as the queen left, after everyone in the Ning'an Hall exchanged a few words of greetings, they also began to disperse, and the originally noisy hall seemed to be a lot quieter.
Outside the hall, the rain washed everything spotlessly, even the air was exceptionally fresh, and the flowers and trees seemed to be new, but unfortunately, the rain could not wash away the pickled people's hearts.
While everyone was not paying attention, Tang Mao walked over and dragged Gu Beicheng aside, a pillar just blocked the sight of Dan Fu and them, but Lin Miaoyin could see it clearly.
Tang Maojin's face collapsed, and he pushed Gu Beicheng hard, "At the banquet just now, you dare to provoke this official!" ”
Gu Beicheng was pushed by him, took two steps back, and let himself bang on the table beside him, and saw that there was a knife on the plate where the leg of mutton was kept, and he picked it up and secretly hid the knife in his sleeve.
Seeing this, Lin Miaoyin ran over to protect Gu Beicheng behind her, pointed at Tang Maojin and scolded angrily: "You are an adult, how can you bully a child?" Tomorrow I will let my father participate in you! ”
"Bullying a child? Where does he look like a child? Tang rushed into the side and pushed Lin Miaoyin to the side, "Get up!" ”
Nan Jinyan and Changle were about to go back to the palace, but they happened to pass by, although they didn't know what was going on, they saw Lin Miaoyin's head slamming into the pillar.
Nan Jinyan didn't have time to think about it, an arrow stepped in front of the pillar, Lin Miaoyin pounced on him, the two fell backwards together, the back of Nan Jinyan's head hit the edge of the pillar base, there was a muffled sound, and Lin Miaoyin fell into his arms.
"Miao Yin, are you alright? Did you fall? Nan Jinyan couldn't take care of herself, quickly stood up, helped Lin Miaoyin up, and asked anxiously: "Did the fall hurt?" ”
Lin Miaoyin shook her head, didn't speak, her eyes were shocked, she didn't fall or not, she was a little scared.
The maidservants rushed over, Nan Jinyan felt something in the back of her head flowing down her neck, and when she touched it with her hand, her palm was red.
The maidservants were all frightened and stunned, and Changle suddenly exclaimed: "Pass on the imperial doctor!" Fast! The head of the Third Highness is bleeding! ”
Miao Jing rushed over when she heard the sound, pulled off the hairpin on her head and poked it at the hem of her skirt, then tore off a piece of cloth with force, pressed the wound to stop the bleeding for him, and waited for the arrival of the imperial doctor.
"Your head is bleeding, and you ask me if it hurts, fool ......" Lin Miaoyin leaned into his ear and whispered teasing, and tilted his head to ask him: "Why did you suddenly rush in front of me?" Then he gently touched Nan Jinyan's head.
"He might like you......" Changle whispered to Lin Miaoyin.
It was too close, Nan Jinyan accidentally heard it, and his face turned red with a "swish", "Ah, it hurts, my head hurts......" He deliberately changed the topic.
Yes, he just likes her, he doesn't dare to tell her, he doesn't dare to admit it, but he will protect her and will never let her get hurt, although Nan Jinyan is injured, he is very happy in his heart.
"Yin'er!" Miaojing thought that Lin Miaoyin had pinned Nan Jinyan and glared at her.
Lin Miaoyin hurriedly moved her hand away, she didn't use any force, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry!" Sorry ......"
Miao Jing asked, "What's going on?" ”
Lin Miaoyin pointed at Tang Maojin, "That adult pushed me just now, and I accidentally bumped into His Royal Highness......" After speaking, he lowered his head aggrievedly.
"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" Miao Jing was a little skeptical, it was Dali Siqing.
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Tang Mao also looked for prestige, Gu Beicheng slid out of the knife in his sleeve, and before he raised his hand, he was pinched by Dan Fu and took the knife away, he wanted to break away, but Dan Fu shook his head lightly at him.
Tang Maojin knew that he was in trouble, so he knelt in front of Nan Jinyan and kowtowed, "The minister should die, the minister should die, but the minister didn't mean to hurt His Royal Highness!" ”
"What does the adult mean by intentionally hurting Miss Lin?" Gu Beicheng asked loudly.
Hearing the words "Miss Lin", Lin Song took three steps and made two steps, walked over and grabbed Tang Maojin's collar, and glared at him angrily: "What did you just do to my Yin'er?" ”
"General Lin, show respect!" Tang dared to deny it, "Tang didn't even touch her!" ”
"He pushed her!" Gu Beicheng roared: "I saw it!" ”
"Yellow-mouthed child!" Tang Maojin said loudly: "Don't listen to his nonsense! He spews blood, and the words of the proton are not credible! ”
"I saw it too!" Changle said, "I can testify! ”
Lin Song picked up his fist and smashed it on Tang Maojin's face, with just one punch, half of Tang Maojin's face was swollen and shiny, and his nose bleeded.
The guards are all like they didn't see it, the general is the one who should be beaten, and he will never make a mistake, the other ministers stand next to him and gloat, the prime minister sneered, and continued to go crazy......
Tang Maojin felt very fishy in his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood with two teeth, and shouted at Lin Song angrily: "How dare you beat the imperial court officials?!" ”
Lin Song is too lazy to talk nonsense with him! Raise your fist again, ready to smash it down again!
Tang Maojin hurriedly confessed, raised his hand and begged for mercy: "Don't fight, General Lin, don't fight!" If you fight again, you'll be killed! Ouch ......"
A civil official, where can he parry the heavy punch of a battle-hardened person like Lin Song, Tang Maojin now has a pain in his face and dizziness, Lin Song didn't use all his strength, otherwise, his bones would be shattered.
"Give you a long memory today, and next time, it's not as simple as a punch!" Lin Song squatted in front of Lin Miaoyin and carried her on her back.
Lin Miaoyin was lying on Lin Song's back, with her father's support, she was not afraid of heaven and earth! She was still a little frightened just now, but in the blink of an eye, she made a grimace at Tang Rujin, and then she looked at Changle, and the two little girls squeezed each other's eyes.
Nan Jinyan said to everyone, "Today, I hope you will help me keep my injury." ”
"Why?" The crowd was puzzled.
"Father and Emperor have a lot of opportunities, and today's matter of the prince's brother is enough to worry about, and I don't want to increase my troubles." Nan Jinyan explained.
Nan Jinyan looked at everyone, and then said: "I'm fine, besides, General Lin doesn't ...... either" Nan Jinyan paused and looked at Tang Qianjin, "Presumably Lord Tang didn't mean it, so let's settle this matter." ”
Everyone bowed their hands: "The Third Highness is not only kind-hearted, but also so filial, it is really rare!" ”
Everyone present nodded frequently.
"In that case, don't make the city stormy." Nan Jinyan arched his hand to everyone and said, "If you adults are fine, please go back......"
In fact, Nan Jinyan was mainly afraid that his father would condemn the Lin Mansion because of this, in that case, Lin Miaoyin would probably be punished, he couldn't do anything that would hurt her, not in this life!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for blocking Yin'er, otherwise it would ......" Miao Jing looked at Nan Jinyan's injury and choked up a little.
Nan Jinyan said with a smile: "Medical Officer Miaojing is my life-saving benefactor, and the life-saving grace should be reciprocated by the spring, which is nothing." ”
The imperial doctor silently helped Nan Jinyan to treat the wound, and advised: "Although the Third Highness has not injured the inside, this skin injury must not touch the water to avoid infection, and the old minister will go to change the medicine for His Highness tomorrow." ”
"Thank you!" Nan Jinyan nodded slightly.
The imperial doctor kowtowed: "The old minister retires." ”
Surrounded by the palace people, Nan Jinyan went back to the palace to rest, and looked at Lin Miaoyin reluctantly when he left.
Lin Song carried Lin Miaoyin on his back and walked towards Dan Fu, looked at Gu Beicheng, and said, "We are ready to leave for home, if Taifu has no other arrangements, the prince will go with us." ”
"Yes, yes! Let's go together! Lin Miaoyin is very excited! This couldn't be better, I can finally sit with Gu Beicheng.
Gu Beicheng looked at Lin Miaoyin gently, his eyes were full of smiles, and he glanced at Gu Beicheng, "Arrange ......"
He didn't ask him anything yet, he especially wanted to leave Gu Beicheng behind, but looking at the appearance of the prince, he wanted to go with them.
Gu Beicheng glared at him coldly, that look seemed to say that you dare to leave this world to try, Dan Fu said, "That...... Naturally, there is no, there is General Lao. ”
After they left, Dan Fu looked left and right to see that there was no one, and threw the knife into the pond under the trestle, Gu Beicheng is the prince after all, and the king of Beili in the future, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and he can't afford to provoke him, so he returned to the East Palace with a little song behind his back.
……
In the carriage, Lin Miaoyin and Gu Beicheng sat face to face, Lin Song and Miaojing were side by side, still worried about the prince's affairs.
"You say...... What's wrong with the prince today? Causing such a big disaster......" Miao Jing sighed and said to Lin Song, "The queen mother is such a kind and generous person, but she is angry like that!" ”
Kind? Generous? Empress? Gu Beicheng suddenly spoke: "That's not necessarily, knowing people and faces doesn't know ...... hearts."
Miaojing and Lin Song looked at him in surprise, Lin Miaoyin secretly stepped on him and told him to shut up, adults talked, when it was his turn to interject.
The carriage was not so spacious, and he couldn't open his legs if he wanted to hide, so he stepped on it and stepped on it, his tears were about to come out, and he couldn't scream yet, Gu Beicheng's face was red.
"I didn't expect you to understand this!" Lin Song patted him on the shoulder, the force was quite strong, Gu Beicheng's shoulder sank down, Lin Song asked tentatively: "Which book does this look like?" ”
With this beat, Gu Beicheng broke the gong in seconds, "I heard what my father said before, ......" His voice was a little hoarse, and he glanced at Lin Song, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and almost leaked his mouth again.
"What's wrong with this kid?" Miao Jing listened to his voice not quite right, and then looked at his face was not very good, and touched his forehead, "Are you uncomfortable again?" ”
"Huh? No, there is no ......" Gu Beicheng was a little embarrassed.
"It's someone who is homesick...... Lin Miaoyin stuck out her tongue at Gu Beicheng, "slightly...... "slightly" The flowers and branches of the smile trembled......
