Eleven years ago, Lin Ruo, who was only five years old, followed his sister Minrou County Lord into the palace to participate in the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet, but accidentally fell into the Taiye Pool and almost died.

At that time, Mrs. Xuanlu followed Zhennan Hou into Beijing, and with Qu Xiaoxiang, she happened to see a maid taking the young Lin Ruo to the direction of Taiye Pool.

The Empress Dowager already knew Lin Ruo's identity, seeing that this poor child was like a gossamer, the imperial doctors were helpless, and their hearts were sad, Mrs. Xuanlu accompanied the Empress Dowager back to Zhaoming Palace, comforting the old man, and learning Lin Ruo's identity.

The short-tempered Mrs. Xuanlu was so angry that she immediately said what she saw, suspecting that someone was trying to kill Lin Ruo. The Empress Dowager was surprised, and ordered someone to take Mrs. Xuanlu to look for the maid who took Lin Ruo to the Taiye Pool, but found nothing.

Later, God was pitiful and saw that Lin Ruo survived, and Mrs. Xuanlu proposed to the Queen Mother that she wanted to succeed Lin Ruo as a daughter, but the Queen Mother hesitated, but in the end she did not agree.

In fact, the person who did not promise to succeed Lin Ruo was not the Queen Mother, but Gu Manxi.

Gu Manxi's consideration is not unreasonable, although his mother has passed away, his father is still there. Passing my sister to Mrs. Xuanlu is afraid that it will provoke people's handles. Secondly, although Lin Iris once sacrificed her life to save the Queen Mother, Yu Qu's family is gracious, but that is where her duty lies, and the royal family has already given Lin Irite and her a lot of rewards, so she really doesn't dare to be arrogant.

The relatives were unwilling, so the queen mother was not reluctant, so she rejected Mrs. Xuanlu's proposal.

Gu Manxi had never told Lin Ruo, and the Queen Mother naturally wouldn't tell Lin Ruo.

Later, Gu Manxi died tragically, and the Zhennanhou family did not enter Beijing for ten years because of the accident of the son, and this matter was never known.

"Fortunately, you are a clever one, let the emperor decree that the Lin family will raise you."

Mrs. Xuanlu said lightly, her eyes full of the love of the elders.

"Thanks to Madame's concern, no wonder, the first time I saw Madame, I felt like I fell in love."

"At that time, I was pregnant with a daughter, but unfortunately, after all, I didn't have a mother-daughter relationship with her. But Xiaoxiang Chenghuan kneeled, which made up for a lot of my regrets. ”

Talking about the child who died young, Mrs. Xuanlu looked very concerned. Lin Ruo held Mrs. Xuanlu's hand and was silently relieved.

After a while, Lin Ruocai said softly: "If Madame doesn't dislike it, Minhui can come to the Hou Mansion to visit Madame from time to time to fulfill her filial piety." ”

"...... you?"

"Jiaci has long since passed away, and I have never fulfilled my filial piety to her old man. In the Lin Mansion, there is only an uncle, so ...... If Madame doesn't think that Senhui is high, I ......"

"How is it Gao Pan? If you're willing to come and see me, of course I'd love to! ”

Seeing Mrs. Xuanlu's heartfelt smile, Xiyu proposed: "Fourth sister-in-law, why don't you recognize Mrs. as your mother-in-law!" ”

Mrs. Xuanlu's eyes lit up and she nodded with satisfaction, but Lin Ruo was stunned and hesitated: "This ......"

"Why, you don't want to?"

"No, no, Madame, forgive me. Mrs. is willing to be a righteous daughter, which is the luck of Minhui, and Minhui is naturally happy. It's just that Minhui has been taken care of by my uncle since I was a child and treats me as my own, and now that I am married to the prince, I still need to ask my uncle and the prince what they mean about this matter. ”

Mrs. Xuanlu nodded: "You have thought it through. ”

There won't be any big problems in the Lin Mansion, the key is the Rongwang Mansion.

The emperor's jealousy has to be scrupulous.

"Madame, rest assured, even if Ah Ruo doesn't have the opportunity to be your righteous daughter, she will treat you like a mother, and often come to the house to visit and fulfill your filial piety."

"Good boy, I understand!"

Mrs. Xuanlu patted Lin Ruo's hand and smiled heartily.

Qu Xiaoxiang, who was not far away, looked back and saw this scene and frowned: This Lin Ruo is really capable, and he can easily get her aunt. You must know that her aunt is extremely resolute and resolute, and few people can get into it.

Except for the crown princess, I have never heard that this princess Rong is close to the female relatives of the official family, and now she is deliberately approaching the Qu family, what is the purpose?

Between frowning and thinking, I heard some noisy voices around me, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that the young ladies around me who had not left the cabinet showed excitement on their faces, what was going on?

"I know you're out of your mind, and I don't know what to think about so fascinating."

"Sister Qin, don't make fun of me, what's wrong?"

"Several princes are preparing to compete in the school field, and everyone is waiting for you, the master, to speak!"

Qu Xiaoxiang looked at the expressions of the ladies and ladies, and said with a smile: "There is still some time to leave the banquet, so we might as well go to the school to take a look, the demeanor of several princes?" ”

This proposal was exactly what everyone wanted, and they followed Qu Xiaoxiang and Qin Qin's steps in twos and threes and went to the school field.

"Fourth sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, let's go and have a look!"

Xi Ji also came to be interested, instigating Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo looked at Mrs. Xuanlu's expression, and said gently: "Madame, do you want to move and see the skills of several princes and sons?" ”

Mrs. Xuanlu nodded: "I really should take a look." This can be worthy of Xiaoxiang's county horse, but he can't be a weak person who has no power to restrain the chicken. ”

Lin Ruo smiled: "Madam is very right. ”

Zhennan Hou Mansion is the home of Jiangmen, even if it is very rare to live in Zhennan Hou Mansion in Beijing, but the school field in Hou Mansion is not small. I don't know who proposed the bow and arrow competition, at this moment, the servants of the Hou Mansion have placed the bows and arrows and arrow targets, just waiting for all the princes and sons who are gearing up to show their skills.

Especially seeing the girls come to the school field in a group, it boosted the interest of several princes and sons who planned to compete, and they were determined to perform well. Even a few people who had never planned to compete were eager to try.

Of course, there is one exception, who is watching coldly from the sidelines.

This person is really Su Muyu, the son of the Marquis of Jingping.

The arrow target was placed fifty paces away, one every ten paces, and there were seven in total.

Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, these six arts are the necessary skills of the sons of the scholars, even if they are weak scholars, they also need to be proficient. Of course, there are also many gentlemen who don't know how to learn, and they are not among today's invitations.

Among them, "shooting" is the art of archery.

Those who are good at bows can penetrate lice through the poplars, and can hit a hundred shots.

Lin Ruo had never seen it with her own eyes, and she was standing aside at the moment, just like the excited Xijiao, but her excitement was not shown on her face.

"Xijiao, you really came over to join in the fun!"

The handsome noble son walked to Xijiao's side, with a gentle smile, and then saw Lin Ruo beside Xijiao, bowed his hand, and said "fourth sister-in-law".

Lin Ruo bowed his head lightly and replied, "The Eighth Emperor Brother wants to compete?" ”

The eighth prince smiled gently: "Let the fourth sister-in-law see and laugh, Zhennan is waiting for the prince to invite, but I am disrespectful." ”

Xijiao's eyes lit up and asked, "Then is the seventh brother also going to compete?" ”

The eighth prince nodded: "Yes, the third brother will also accompany you." ”

"The Third Emperor Brother is also going to compete in the arrow?"
