The little eunuch on the side saw it, and hurriedly echoed: "County Lord, how blessed is it to be able to put the son next to the queen mother to raise him?" ”

But for Rong Changning, he undoubtedly wanted to take the white disease away from him, so he shirked it: "The disease is a boy, and I am afraid that it is not suitable to be raised in the palace." ”

After hearing this, Queen Li's eyelids drooped directly, and the corners of her mouth glanced at the elder: "I know that you are reluctant to have a young son, and it is not good to snatch your son over and raise it like this." ”

"It is a blessing that ordinary people can't cultivate in the third life, but it's just ...... The courtiers were terrified. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

“……”

The little eunuch understood, and took the palace maid to wait outside. The slightest hint of ambergris does not make people feel at ease.

"The Marquis of Ming Wu has been on the border for a long time, and when he comes back, he will be entrusted with an important task. It seems that he has regained His Majesty's trust, and he will be cautious everywhere as if he were walking on thin ice. ”

"Lord Hou has always been like this, as long as it is explained by His Majesty, everything is serious and cautious, this is the duty of a minister."

"Then you go back and discuss with Ming Wuhou whether you want to send Bai Yi to me to raise you."

After speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Empress Li's mouth, and Rong Changning hurriedly saluted: "The courtiers retire." ”

There was still room for maneuver, which Rong Changning had never imagined. On the way back, she hugged Bai Jian tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch him away.

After going back, he stared at the two of them and refused to take his eyes off, constantly recalling the look of the queen mother when she spoke, trying to guess why she did this.

Until Bai Chuxi came back from official business, Rong Changning was still in a daze at Bai Ji, and he didn't even hear Bai Chuxi enter the door.

Suddenly, someone behind him wrapped his shoulders around him, leaned on his ear and whispered, "Why is this frustrated appearance?" ”

"Do you know why the queen summoned me to the palace?"

"But did you ask the eldest sister?"

Rong Changning shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't say a word about the eldest sister, she wanted to adopt a sick child." ”

Hearing this, Bai Chuxi's face began to become solemn: "Then what are you saying?" ”

"I didn't say anything, Niangniang only added me to go home and discuss with you more."

"The queen wants to adopt a child, and it is a happy thing to put on others, only you are worried."

"I never understand, there are so many suitable children in the imperial clan, why do they fall in love with Ji'er? Even if it's to avoid suspicion, it's not the turn of the child...... Besides, she is not close to Ji'er. Something is wrong, so why don't I worry? ”

Bai Chuxi nodded, and touched the unshaved stubble on his chin: "Then it's not difficult to understand, think about it carefully, what is the surname of the person who commanded the Iron Cavalry Camp after I left the Imperial City?" ”

Li ...... Li Jiyue, the second son of the Li family? ”

Seeing Bai Chuxi nodded again: "After investigation, the person who assassinated the Eighth Prince on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was mixed in the Iron Cavalry Camp. Regardless of whether this matter is related to the queen mother, the Li family will not escape responsibility after all. She didn't bother to raise our son, and this was by beating me and telling me to be careful. She thought that I and Ligrudge would always be able to pick out the Li family. ”

"What if the mastermind behind it is really the queen's mother?"

"It's already in the back position, so you don't have to."

"Anyway, be careful." Rong Changning folded the quilt for Bai Ji: "No wonder my grandmother said that you didn't know if you were a blessing when you went out of the city, but now you are back in the city, how can you know if it's a disaster?" ”

"I will investigate the case impartially, and it is useless to let her threaten anyone. You don't have to worry too much about the matter of the sick child, she wants to adopt the outer room, and she also wants to see if the saint and the courtiers agree. Rest assured, I'm here. ”

Rong Changning took a deep breath in a blink of an eye, and smiled at Bai Chuxi, as long as he was at home, Rong Changning was not afraid of anything.

……

Aji, who had just arrived at the house, didn't know what he was going to do, so he stayed in the room every day, and walked around the courtyard by himself after eating.

As soon as the winter passes, the sky can't wait to warm up. The light crawled through the roof ridge and spread in the courtyard, Aji raised his hand to block the most dazzling touch, but there was still light sprinkled on her face through her fingers, she smiled, revealing two dimples, and sighed: "The sunshine in the imperial city is so warm!" ”

The maid passing by couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and walked away with a wooden basin, muttering: "How can you say that there is no sunshine in Beisai?" ”

"The desert is full of yellow sand, and I can't say that there is really no sun in Beisai."

When the words reached Aji's ears, she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly put down her hand and stood in place and closed her mouth.

Seeing someone coming over again, Aji hurriedly caught up: "Sister, sister, are you going to do the laundry?" Shall I join you? ”

"It's not that we don't want to, it's that we really don't dare to use your laundry."

"Why?"

The maid hugged the basin and lowered her voice and returned: "You are the person brought back by the Hou Ye, Aunt Lin doesn't dare to place you, who dares to use you?" ”

"That's right." Aji looked suddenly realized: "Who is Aunt Lin?" ”

"Aunt Lin is the dowry aunt brought by the housemother from her mother's house, and she is in charge of the affairs of the house, and many shops outside the house are also taken care of by Aunt Lin for the housewife."

Aji hung his head and muttered, "She cares so much, can she be busy?" "Book bar

The maid saw that Aji didn't say anything, and was just about to leave when Aji pulled her: "Then I have to do something in the house." ”

“……”

The two maids couldn't help but roll their eyes, not knowing whether the girl from Beisai was really stupid or fake, but they felt that no one ignored her and looked strange and pitiful, so they asked something to say: "Eh, what is Beisai like?" ”

Speaking of this problem, Aji immediately came alive, and hurriedly chased after them and pulled them to talk, the desert wind and sand and the clarity of the lake, the totems and royal flags of the tribes, the magnificent style of the Yupu tribe, the simple folk customs of the Alan tribe and the musical instruments made of animal bones.

It didn't take long for the maids in the yard to be attracted by these new stories, and Aji and a few maids pulled the freshly washed sheets together, and the splashed mist was reflected in the sun into rainbow shadows on people's faces.

"The desert lacks water so it is all wind and sand, but the green space cannot be without water, how can these two things be next to each other?"

"I don't know, anyway, I don't want to go back after I came to the Imperial City."

"Why? Don't you want your family? ”

"I don't have a family in Beisai, and I rely on wild vegetables and fruits for three meals. I also make cakes with wild fruits, wild vegetables, and when I'm lucky, I can sell some birds and beasts. ”

"You're so good? My housewife is also good at riding and shooting, do you know that the double arrow runs through the seven coins? ”

Aji nodded: "When I was in Beisai, I heard people in the army say that two arrows pierce through seven copper coins at the same time, one is three and one is four, which is very powerful!" ”

"Maybe you'll be the Mistress's opponent!"

"I don't dare to say that, I just arrived in the imperial city and saw a forest of pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, people dressed well, and their faces were good. A daughter who grew up in such a place must be unusual! ”

"You'll still say, 'Biwa Feiyong carved beams and painted buildings'?"

When asked, Aji was stunned for a moment, and his voice suddenly became low: "Jiang An told me." ”

Knowing that he had said sad things about people, the maids who dried clothes together stopped talking. Seeing that the clothes were finished, a younger maid came over and asked, "During the family banquet, the hostess rewarded a few pieces of cakes and candied fruit, Aji must not have eaten them, let's go eat them together?!" ”

The gloom on Aji's face was immediately swept away, and he raised his face happily: "Okay! ”

The huge courtyard was humming songs everywhere, and the maids who didn't dare to pay attention to Aji just now all came over one by one to listen to the new things in her mouth.

The mother-in-law who was in charge of this courtyard saw everything, turned around and went to tell Aunt Lin, and Aunt Lin also told Rong Changning about these things.

Rong Changning's mind was not on this, he only cared about feeding the white disease and eating rice soup. Aunt Lin thought that Rong Changning was silent on the surface, and she had written these things down in her heart.

"The people in the courtyard saw that the people from afar were fresh, so they loved to come to the side."

"Very good."

"......" Aunt Lin pursed her lips and went out with the second half of the sentence that was difficult to say. She had always been worried about whether Bai Chuxi would be like those maids, who felt that Aji was fresh, so she was attracted to it.

Aunt Lin is also a woman, and she has also had juvenile feelings and hated love, and she really doesn't look like she has lost her sweetheart when she looks at Aji.

And Rong Changning himself knows this, but he just feels that there is no need to act. Bai Chuxi was also so busy every day that he couldn't see anyone, and at night he still took Liang Tao to secretly study the map of Maopoling, and even Rong Changning couldn't go into the study to take a look, for fear that the news would startle the snake.

Xiao Dong stood in front of the door boredly with the soup cup, rubbed his feet on the ground twice, looked up at the moon and waited silently for the people inside to come out and serve the soup.

Before the people could come out, they waited for Aggie first.

She laughed happily when she saw Xiao Dong, holding a food box in one hand and pointing at Xiao Dong with the other: "I remember you!" You're by the side of the Mistress! ”

Xiao Dong looked around, and there seemed to be no one guarding him, so Xiao Dong reminded: "The study of the bamboo garden does not need to be entered." ”

"I ...... I found the small kitchen and made a few small dishes from Beisai, and wanted to bring them to Hou Ye to taste. Oh, and the housewife, thank you for taking it in. ”

"When the unitary is over, the mistress will not eat."

"So?" Aji looked a little lost, blinking his eyes and looking at Xiao Dong innocently: "Then I'll send it tomorrow." ”

"Master Hou and Captain Liang are leaving the Lord tonight to discuss official business, you can go back."

Aji stood below and looked inside, lowered his eyes to look at the food box in his hand, and took a deep breath: "Okay." ”

When he turned around and was about to leave, he heard the door squeak and was pushed open, thinking that only Xiaodong was waiting, but at a glance he saw Aji with starry eyes, Aji saw that it was Bai Chuxi and immediately smiled: "What a coincidence!" I was just going back. ”

Hearing that it was a woman's voice, talking to Bai Chuxi and talking to Bai Chuxi was so close to a good thing to take a look at it, and when he saw Aji, he frowned, Liang Tao also felt curious when he saw it, and poked his head out to look: "Aji? ”

"You're there too! I happened to make a few side dishes, you must be hungry after staying up for so long, right? ”

Liang Tao immediately held the wrist of the resentment: "When I went to Beisai with Bai Houye, I didn't eat less of the side dishes made by Aji, and it was very good!" Give it a try. ”

As soon as he stretched out his hand with a cold eye, he wanted to hand the food box to Bai Chuxi's Aji, but he had no choice but to hand over the food box to Li Yan.

Xiao Dong saluted Bai Chuxi and handed the soup cup in his hand to Bai Chuxi, without saying a superfluous word from beginning to end, and then turned around and left.

In contrast, this Aggie is a little more truthful.

Seeing that everything that should be taken was finished, he heard a 'snap', and closed the door heavily with resentment, which frightened Aggie for a moment.
