Chapter 255: Relatives Estranged 3
Because of the barrier of understanding and perception, Li Xi'en has a vague and blank understanding of the good and evil in this world, relying entirely on his own instinct and the information of two people he trusts.
In the carriage back to Bian'an, Lin Ruo told him that Lin Qi was her dearest brother and his little uncle, and she hoped that they could get along well.
When Li Xien first arrived at the Lin Mansion, the little uncle was really enthusiastic, and took him around the Lin Mansion and took out all the delicious food he treasured to share with him.
has a little friend who is not much different in age, and Li Xien is naturally very happy. However, the little uncle spoke so fast that he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he couldn't respond. After a long time, he saw that the little uncle's face was not good, as if he was angry, and he dared not speak even more.
At that time, he was a little sad, but more at a loss.
Such a passage can be easily expressed by ordinary people, but it is not easy for Li Xien to explain this matter clearly. By the time he had finished speaking, the servants had already come to change the hot water kept warm under the dinner plate.
Because he was too focused, it wasn't until he finished talking to Lin Ruo that Li Xien realized that everyone was looking at him, so he was a little dazed and uneasy.
Li Yan sighed in his heart, even as his biological father, he was ashamed of himself compared to Lin Ruo's patience. Not to mention Lin Qi.
Sure enough, the gap between him and his second sister was more than a little bit.
Lin Ruo touched Li Xien's head and comforted him gently: "Xi'en, don't worry. Everyone looks at you because everyone thinks you are very powerful and can explain such a complicated thing. ”
Li Xien, who had been praised, had his eyes lit up, looked at Lin Ruo, and then looked at everyone, and found that everyone was smiling kindly and nodding to him, and suddenly, the uneasy sense of restraint suddenly dissipated, and he returned a pure smile to everyone.
When it was time to eat next, Li Xien felt much more comfortable, calmly accepted the kindness released by Lin Qi, calmly accepted Lin Qi to help him pick up the dishes, and then replied with a simple "thank you", or clumsily gave Lin Qi a chopstick dish, with a clean and pure smile.
A meal, a happy one.
Even with Lin Qian's mood was much happier, and the cough was obviously less than in the afternoon.
Although Emperor Mingzong issued an edict to allow Lin Ruo to live in the Lin family, after all, he was married to a wife, and Lin Ruo still returned to King Rong's mansion. Because he was afraid that the road would not be safe, Li Yan rode a horse and escorted Lin Ruo back to Rongwang's Mansion with the car, and only when she arrived safely at the mansion did he say "thank you" to her.
Lin Ruoqian smiled and said, "Brother Li, between you and me, there is no need for these politeness. I'm going to bother you to help me take care of my uncle and check Xiao Qi's schoolwork. ”
Li Yan smiled back, and sent Lin Ruo's words back: "Between you and me, there is no need to 'bother'. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was clear to them.
In the next few days, Lin Ruo spent half of her days in Lin Mansion and half of Rong Wang's Mansion every day, the account books sent by various shops, the people's contacts between the next and lower New Year's Festivals in the palace, and the next star picking building, all of which kept her busy.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, whether it is the identity of the Lord of Minhui County or the identity of Princess Rong, she must enter the palace and attend the banquet in the Lin De Hall. This is a royal favor. Those who are eligible to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, except for the imperial relatives and relatives, the rest are mostly meritorious and trusted military generals.
This year, Murong Chong was out on the expedition and could not attend, and Lin Ruo could not refuse.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the monarchs and subjects were happy together, and there was a lot of peace.
Jiahui, the sixth princess who had the best relationship with Lin Ruo, sat with her concubine Yan Shou, and raised a glass to her from time to time. And the eighth princess Xijiao, who has a delicate temperament, sat beside the queen obediently, and did not dare to come out.
Probably because of the East Palace, he was detained by the queen's side.
Looking at the helpless gazes that Xijiao threw at her from time to time, Lin Ruo was a little distressed.
On the prince's side, it was not the crown princess Su Muqing who attended, but the side concubine Shen Wanyi, whose lower abdomen was slightly raised. With a happy flush on his face, he sat beside the prince obediently, looking like he had replaced Su Muqing's position as the crown princess, and calmly accepted the congratulations of the female dependents.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet not long ago, also in the Lin De Palace, also beside the prince, the crown princess Su Muqing was shy and had a big belly, with a look of joy about being a mother. It only took a long time for all this to be replaced by Shen Wanyi.
The crown prince did not have the slightest hint of disgrace on his face, but from time to time he scolded the Huai Huai with King Ye, but after all, he was concerned about the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and would not go overboard.
"Princess Rong, don't you mind if I sit here for a while?"
A smiling face appeared in front of her, Lin Ruo glanced at her, and sure enough, this face looked very familiar.
"Of course not. I just feel a little lonely alone, the county lord of Fengyang came to accompany me, of course I am happy! Please. ”
Lin Ruohui replied with her usual gentle smile and asked the palace maid to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Qu Xiaoxiang sat down, looked at Lin Ruo, and then said with a smile: "Many people say that I look a little similar to Princess Rong, and when I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be so!" I really have a relationship with King Rong's Mansion! ”
"I also think that I am very close to the county lord. The county lord might as well call me Minhui, or Ah Ruo. ”
"Good! Then I will call you Ah Ruo, and you will call me Xiaoxiang. This princess came, and the county lord went, and it sounded like it was really alive. ”
Qu Xiaoxiang smiled heartily, and her whole body was filled with a heroic spirit that was different from that of ordinary women, which made people feel sassy and bold, and there would be no caution behind her back.
Coupled with the blood relationship, Lin Ruo also wants to treat her as such a heroine and be close to her. However, the calculation that Qu Xiaoxiang tried to hide in his eyes made Lin Ruo a little disappointed.
"Ah Ruo, I heard that you are this year and Lu?"
Lin Ruo nodded: "Well, after the New Year, it will be sixteen." ”
Qu Xiaoxiang laughed at herself and said: "I am two years older than you, and after tonight, I will be eighteen, I am an old girl!" ”
"Xiaoxiang, you are the only county lord in Donglu who has military power, and the whole Donglu knows that you don't let you shave your eyebrows, and the emperor's grandmother and the emperor have always said that they should help you choose a county horse worthy of you!"
"Really?" Qu Xiaoxiang raised her eyebrows, as if jokingly asking, "Then Ah Ruo thinks, looking at the entire Donglu, who can be worthy of me?" ”
