Chapter Sixty-Nine: How did Ah Xu serve the plates?
"And you said it was in your own house, so don't worry. But now there are other men in your house, and it's not good for you to be alone with them, it will ruin your reputation. As soon as Xu Shizi thought that Shen Yafei would be alone with Yan Lijun and his eldest brother, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. He remembered the scene when she saw her eldest brother in Chengling Temple, tears fell from her eyes, her expression was so sad, he couldn't understand Shen Yafei's feelings for his eldest brother, and he hated the fact that she had cried for her eldest brother.
"Who are the others Axu is talking about?" Hua Xi's flat voice came from the front. Hua Xi, Yan Yan, Yan Lijun and Hua Xin happened to be standing in Shen Yafei's courtyard. Hua Xi hugged Hua Xin and squinted at Xu Shizi.
"Big brother," Xu Shizi saw the eldest brother's eyes suddenly, the eldest brother's eyes were too dangerous, he absolutely couldn't admit that he had put the eldest brother in the 'other men' just now, a spirit pointed at Yan Lijun, "Of course it refers to him." β
Shen Yafei saw that he wanted to cover up, and snorted and laughed directly.
Xu Shizi glared at her angrily, and Shen Yafei couldn't stop laughing, but he didn't expect that the little overlord of the capital, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was still as afraid of his eldest brother as he was when he was a child.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Xu Shizi didn't bother with her, put the food plate on the table, brought out the bowl inside, and pretended to be angry: "Hurry up and eat yours." β
Shen Yafei sat down obediently and quietly ate her rose pig's trotters.
"Yo, how did our young son become a dishman? I, my brother, haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment yet! Hua Xi shook his head and looked at Xu Shizi with a smile.
Not to be outdone, Xu Shizi looked back.
Yan Lijun was contemptuous of Xu Shizi's unpromising appearance. Shaking his head and sighing: "Alas, such a spineless man is really rare." Then sat opposite Shen Yafei, "County Lord, there are still many good men in this world, and the kind of people who can't be wanted, and they can't be unruly and unreliable." We all know the good men in the capital, if the county lord likes it, even if he says, he can introduce the county lord to the next. β
Xu Shizi was very dissatisfied with Yan Lijun's direct dismantling of the stage, and went over to pull him up, wanting to pull him up, "What are you doing sitting here?" Go back to your yard. β
It's a pity that in terms of kung fu, Yan Lijun is still better than Xu Shizi, so Xu Shizi's behavior has no effect on him at all, and he sits firmly on Mount Tai, "This son and the county lord are all doctors, and there are many things to discuss together." It just so happens that this son also has some questions to consult with the county lord, and our communication will also help us improve our medical skills. But I don't know what the prince can talk about with the county lord? Tell us about your former Lady Smoke Feather? β
Xu Shizi snorted, "What is the discussion of medical skills, Xiaoya's medical skills are much better than yours, you want to steal the master to learn the arts, right?" Don't make so many excuses for your shameful behavior! β
"No matter what the son says, he has a common topic with the county lord. I don't know what Xu Shizi can talk about with the county lord? "Words and horses are pressing each other step by step.
"The county lord is the princess of this world, of course we have something to talk about between husband and wife." Not to be outdone, the prince was not to be outdone.
"Tsk! But this son remembers that the prince and the county lord are not married, how can they be considered husband and wife? Yan Lijun said with a smile.
"Even if she is not married, she is also the fiancΓ©e of this son. Therefore, it is better to keep a certain distance. Xu Shizi said with a gloomy face.
Shen Yafei looked at the two tall and burly men in front of him arguing in front of him like a child without sugar, and felt speechless, she had never seen such a boring person, Shen Yafei rolled her eyes without giving face. Hua Xi also covered his head, where did this stupid brother come from!
Another period of time has passed, and Hua Xi and Yan Yan's treatment has entered a stable period, and now they take medicine on time every day, and do acupuncture from time to time, and their condition and body have improved a lot. Except for the inability to eat like a normal person, there is no abnormality. Among them, Bloomage's condition is the best controlled.
As for Huaxin, although Shen Yafei did not diagnose and treat him openly, Huaxin spent most of his time with Shen Yafei during this time. All the food was made by Shen Yafei, and Hua Xi didn't give him anything to eat, but he almost never got sick again. Hua Xi and the others knew in their hearts that Shen Yafei was already making a secret move, and their opinion of Shen Yafei was even better.
Prince Xu and Princess Pi also often go to the county lord's mansion, and the prince also goes to the palace a few times occasionally, and it seems that the connection between the two mansions is very close. Therefore, there are many rumors about Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei outside.
Some people said: Because Shen Yafei saved Princess Hai before, Princess Hai was grateful to Shen Yafei and wanted to let Xu Shizi make a promise.
Some people said: Xu Shizi was moved because Shen Yafei sacrificed his life to save his mother, and he looked at Shen Yafei differently and liked her.
Some people said: Shen Yafei used her kindness to Princess Hai to blackmail Xu Shizi to marry her, but Xu Shizi was unwilling, so the two have not married until now. However, under the pressure of Princess Li, Xu Shizi had to go to the county lord's mansion to contact her.
Some people said: Princess Pi recognized Shen Yafei as her goddaughter because of gratitude.
In short, all kinds of suspicions emerged one after another, but Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi were not affected in the slightest, and no one came out to refute or confirm their conjectures. Shen Yafei has also not been out of the house since developing Huaxin's illness, and has been working behind closed doors. Of course, this is just her own statement of her own excess. In fact, Shen Yafei was hiding in the mansion and studying the rare books in the lonely field that Xu Shizi got for the two of them.
"Why don't we go out for a walk?" Xu Shizi was really worried that Shen Yafei would be bored.
However, Shen Yafei didn't appreciate it, and she didn't raise her head, and she happened to see something interesting with Hua Xin, and she giggled. Xu Shizi shook his head helplessly, these two people are really hopeless.
Princess Pi has been in the county lord's mansion for a long time, and she doesn't know if she really likes Shen Yafei, or if she is enchanted by Aunt Ji's food, and she wants to go directly to the mansion like her two sons. If it weren't for the crying and shouting begging of the princess, the princess would have reluctantly gone back. However, I continued to report the next day.
As a result, because of the frequent visits of Prince Xu and Princess Li, many people also think highly of Shen Yafei, and they want to borrow branches to climb high, and send a lot of posts to the county lord's mansion. Some wanted to invite Shen Yafei to the mansion as a guest, and some wanted to visit Shen Yafei in the county lord's mansion. It's a pity that all of them were sunk into the sea, and some of them were retreated without even entering the gate of the county lord's mansion. Many people are so angry with Shen Yafei that they are even more angry, they don't even show their faces, and they have nowhere to vent if they want to.
Shen Yafei's county lord's mansion was having a lively time. However, there was also a different kind of bustling activity in the palace.
The queen's condition has not changed, and countless doctors have been found, but there is still no effect. Some of them came to the door by themselves when they saw the high rewards, and some were sent by the queen to arrest them, but they were all helpless about the queen's illness. The queen is also almost to the point of despair. But the emperor's physical strength seems to be getting better and better, his spirit is getting more and more refined, and he looks a lot younger than when he was in spring.
There were many newcomers added to the harem, and the queen became more and more haggard when she saw this. The emperor still had his previous feelings for the queen, but the activity in his body made him feel that the queen was a generation behind him when he saw the queen's aging face. He felt that he was so energetic that he was really unappetizing to face an old woman who could only complain and complain every day. Now that is when the Queen Mother passes on him, he will go to the queen's palace once, and the affection he has for the queen has almost disappeared at this time.
"The Queen Mother." King Yuan is in the queen's bedroom, meeting the queen, and now he is more and more reluctant to see his mother, now she is old and ugly, and she will only complain all day long. It was completely different from the glamorous, red-faced queen mother he liked before, and if it weren't for something he had to say, he really didn't want to face such an old woman.
"Queen Mother, the eldest brother and the third brother seem to have been wary of me recently. Now they hide everything from me, and even their men don't answer whatever they ask me like they used to. Do you think the eldest brother and the third brother are aware of something? β
"What are you afraid of? We've never had it ourselves. Even if they were suspicious, they couldn't find any evidence. The queen would only reveal her true face in front of her own son, and the hideous expression on her old face made her face even more ugly with her rapidly aging and uncoordinated aging.
A trace of disgust flashed in King Yuan's eyes, but fortunately, the queen's mind was not on him, so he didn't see the boredom in his son's eyes.
"However, they were on guard, and I couldn't get any more information." King Yuan frowned.
"Those two little bastards are so smart and won't be held in my hands for so many years, don't worry, this world will definitely be yours in the end." The queen sneered.
The queen mother can't even smile now, and her father doesn't like her anymore, how can she have confidence that the future throne will be his. After the queen mother fell ill, she was even more arrogant than before, but she never wanted to recognize the facts, her father had obviously gone to which vixens had gone, and the queen mother was still delusional that her father would return to her and reconcile with her.
"The manor in the suburbs has also been broken into, and the second brother suspects that the eldest brother and the third brother did it." King Yuan said.
"So what? Even if they do, they don't know who you're holding in. The medicine people of the Poison Yama Valley had disappeared ten years ago, and they were all children ten years ago, so how could anyone have thought that you were the terrifying Poison Yama Valley medicine man on the rivers and lakes ten years ago? "The crown prince and King Ning have not been played with by her in the palm of her hands for the past twenty years, she can't see anything great about these two people, and now King Ning's military power is also in the hands of the emperor, and he can't jump up, "Wait one day, the queen mother will find an opportunity to talk to your father and the emperor, and let him hand over the military power in the hands of King Ning." β
Compared with the blind confidence of the queen mother, King Yuan does not have much confidence in this. Now it is difficult for the queen mother to even see her father, let alone help him ask for military power. If he had been confident that he would have had the help of his mother and second brother, he believed that he would have a chance to get the throne. But since the accident with his mother, he has been worried, and now he can't be as calm as before. Now he is very sensitive to everything, and he is always worried that his plot will be known by the crown prince and King Ning. He had always had a close relationship with the two of them, and he knew that these two people were ruthless to the people who betrayed him. He was afraid that he would not get the throne, but in the end he would end up with a bad death!
But the queen mother thinks differently about him, she thinks that the crown prince and King Ning have been so many years that they can't even clean up Hualang, let alone deal with her. Ginger is still old and spicy! King Yuan knew that his thoughts could not affect the queen mother, so he had to give up persuasion. So, he changed his goal and told his grandmother what he was thinking. The imperial grandmother told him to think long-term!
It is not only the palace that is uneasy, even the Ning Wangfu is not peaceful. King Ning has been going out early and returning late for the sake of medicine people recently, and sometimes he comes back late, worried that it will affect Lin Wanxin's rest, so he stays directly in the study. But Lin Wanxin thought that King Ning had gone to Chen Xi. But King Ning didn't admit it, so she had to go to Chen Xi to confirm it.
"Concubine Lin, the princess is still resting! Why don't you wait here now? "Last night, King Ning still didn't go back to the room. So today, when the sky was slightly bright, Lin Wanxin appeared in Chen Xi's courtyard with a smile to greet her. And when she arrived, Chen Xi was still lying on the bed resting. Mama Chen, who was waiting beside Chen Xi, saw that Lin Wanxin wanted to push open the door, so she stopped her.
"Hongu has such a good relationship with my sister. My sister won't blame me. Mama rest assured. Lin Wanxin smiled gracefully, and she was gentle and virtuous in her gestures. No one can bear to refuse such a woman.
It's a pity that this person is the person who is serving by Chen Xi's side, Mama Chen is in her thirties, and she hasn't seen anyone. When she first came to Ning Wangfu, she also thought that Lin Wanxin, like her appearance, was a person who didn't ask about the world and didn't fight or rob. But this is the kind of person who directly disarmed her shrewd young lady without even fighting, and Mama Chen treated this Lin Wanxin differently.
"Concubine Lin is still waiting outside. When the princess wakes up, the old slave will naturally report to the princess. Mama Chen saw that Lin Wanxin still ignored her interception and wanted to go inside, so she walked over and blocked the door and said sharply.
Lin Wanxin looked at Mama Chen, who insisted on blocking the door, and smiled, but the hidden yin owl in her eyes could only be seen by Mama Chen. "Mama, please get out of the way. This palace has said that the relationship between this palace and my sister is very good, and my sister will definitely not blame this palace, so it is better for Mama Chen to get out of the way. β
Lin Wanxin's voice was as gentle as a bird's ear, but Mama Chen's body trembled with fear, and for some reason she felt a cold air blowing on her scalp. However, after all, Mama Chen came out of Chen Guogong's mansion, and she still has a little courage, and her loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. Mama Chen was guarding the door. It's a pity that at this time, even the lowest-ranking subordinates have not yet gotten up, so there is only one of Mama Chen's cronies in this courtyard. The old woman who was guarding the gate at the gate of the courtyard didn't want to cause trouble, so she hid out early.
Lin Wanxin saw that Mama Chen didn't give face, so she waved her hand directly, asked Luyi and a few people to drag people away, opened the door and walked in. In Chen Xi's room, only a night candle on the dresser was illuminated, and the faint morning light shone obliquely through the doorway. Lin Wanxin could only see the middle of the red sandalwood carved bed bulging slightly, and the light was too dim to see how many people were on it. Lin Wanxin walked to the side of the bed with her chest beating excitedly, grabbed the quilt on the bed, lifted it directly, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Xi was the only one on the bed.
"Who!" However, Chen Xi was awakened. Now that it is autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and as soon as the quilt is lifted, Chen Xi is woken up by the cold. When Chen Xi saw through the faint light that the unfamiliar figure beside the bed was Lin Wanxin. The sharp eyes shot at Lin Wanxin.
Lin Wanxin laughed harmlessly: "Sister, are you awake?" β
"Sister Lin, what are you doing?" Chen Xi was disturbed by others, but she didn't have such a good mind to pretend to be dignified with her anymore.
"My sister saw that the prince didn't come back for a few days. I'm worried that something has happened to the prince, and I want to go with my sister to find out. Lin Wanxin said gently.
Chen Xi sat up from the bed and sneered: "Sister Lin wants to find the prince, but she has found the bed in the palace?" β
"I'm sorry! It's because my sister cares about the prince too much, and I didn't think about it so much for a while, and my sister didn't scare my sister, right? Lin Wanxin said anxiously, her eyes filled with tears, and she was pitiful.
It was obviously her who did the wrong thing, and Chen Xi didn't even do anything to her, so she began to feel aggrieved, as if it was her Chen Xi who bullied her, Chen Xi became disgusted with Lin Wanxin like this.
"Concubine Lin should go out first. Hongu doesn't have a hobby for people to watch and sleep! Chen Xi pulled the quilt on his chest and squinted at Lin Wanxin.
Lin Wanxin saw the light in Chen Xi's eyes, and her heart trembled slightly.
Soon, Lin Wanxin put on a weak and boneless appearance again, and sobbed in a low voice: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's my sister who didn't think about it and offended." Tears swirled in her eyes as she spoke, and she wanted to pull Chen Xi's shoulders, but Chen Xi avoided in disgust, and Lin Wanxin looked at the disgust in Chen Xi's eyes at all. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to swallow her hatred back into her stomach.
It just so happened that at this time, Chen Xi's maid Yuling was also woken up by several people, and when she saw other people in the room, she immediately woke up. "Who are you, how can you break into the princess's bedroom without permission? Come on, come on! Mama Chen! β
"Yuling, don't shout, come and wait for me to change my clothes." Chen Xi stopped Yuling's behavior, and then said to Lin Wanxin, "Concubine Lin is bothering you to go out now!" β
