Chapter 21: Temptation
Why do you feel like a bodhisattva, coming to Lingwangfu to purify all sentient beings? But apparently Miss Zifeng is a stubborn master, and my "Pudu" failed to make her wake up, and she still "wanders" in the Xinyuan every day in the name of serving me. It's just that there have been a few more errands recently, that is, to watch the safe birth of the child in Ruyan Pavilion - so, you don't need to say much to know that it is the feedback generated by the "small report" I typed. It can also be seen from this that Zhou Lingqing is no longer hovering between "killing" and "not killing", and he has completely turned back.
Mama Xu was happy to see this, and the old man came to Xinyuan even more radiantly, and saw that I was busy grinding herbs in the house, and did not bother, until I went to the yard to stretch my arms and legs of the loose bones, and I saw her sitting in the hall silently.
I called Xiao Jiu to serve tea, this gap, Mama Xu also saw me, got up to greet me, and wanted to salute while walking, but I was helped upright, I smiled, "Let's sit down in the hall and say, the south wind in the courtyard is very cold——"
With that, I sent her back to the chair where it was still warm, and I sat down myself.
"From the first time I saw Madame, I knew from her face that Madame was a good person—"
This began to boast, yes, the heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the fox can't get up, and it looks natural, honest, kind and honest.
I only heard her then relieved, "Now it seems that I really haven't known the wrong person, Madame not only has no jealousy, but the backyard is also in good order on weekdays, and there have never been any dirty things in the house next to her—more importantly, Madame does not stand idly by to many injustices, and the old man is glad to be a prince." ”
Isn't it true that everyone wants to enjoy the glory and wealth of their duty, so that no one is a demon? I was praised by Mama Xu for being straightforward, and I went straight back to nothing, the things in my part, and the things in my part.
Who knows that Mama Xu wiped her tears, what's the matter, if she stays in the smoke pavilion for a long time, she can also catch the skill of tears?
She cried and said, "The prince is not alone in this world after all, he has people who are related by blood, and he also has some thoughts in the days to come——"
You probably don't know that this guy doesn't want to have this "thought".
"Although Ruyan gave birth to this child, it will definitely be sent to your knees to raise, but you also have to hurry up, madam, it is your own flesh and blood that are the most affectionate—" Mama Xu still muttered.
Why is she so obsessed with giving birth to a baby? I almost got into the airway with a sip of hot tea, and I couldn't stop coughing, and I calmed down for a long time before I excused myself, "I don't have to, it's better to keep it by my mother's side, as for me, I'm not in a hurry, there was an old monk who calculated for me in the past, when I was young, my children were shallow, and I couldn't get a liner by chance when I was about thirty——"
"Listen to the old monk, listen to the grandmother, go with the prince more, there will always be good news, otherwise it will not step on your head in the future? Don't worry, when you give birth, Mama will naturally love your child the most-"
Mama is thoughtful, but no matter how much I get along with Zhou Lingqing, I can't get rid of the child just by curing the disease and wiping the pulse. What's more, this week Ling Qing has a white moonlight in his heart, and there are so many warblers and warblers in the backyard, and now there is a baby who is pregnant with him.
Of course, I still duplicity answered yes yes, borrowing Mama's auspicious words!
She put her heart in her stomach and handed over a box of snacks, "This is a pine nut lily cake, the old body is the best, I specially made it for Mrs. to taste, Mrs. don't dislike it——"
I said how could I dislike it, it smells so good, and when the prince comes back, we will eat it up together.
Mama Xu seemed to be very satisfied with my answer, and pulled me to say a few more pleasantries.
After a while, when she got up and was about to go to Ruyan Pavilion, Zhou Lingqing came back, he took off his cloak and rubbed his hands into the hall with great strides, and saw Mama Xu and said, "On this cold day, what else is Mama coming to walk around?" Just let them spread the word. ”
"The prince is busy with official business, and the old body hasn't been able to see each other for a long time, and today I want to try my luck, so I actually took a look," Mama said and stood up, thinking for a moment before continuing, "The prince should also go to the Ruyan Pavilion to take a look, although he ordered Miss Zifeng to take care of it more, the prince should also serve snacks, after all, it is the flesh and blood of the prince——"
I have never seen such a warm Zhou Lingqing, he smiled and replied, "It's been hard work these days, you really don't have to take care of her personally, the servants of the Manfu can always pick out a suitable one-"
"But I'll take a look, it's still the best for me, and the prince will give me peace of mind—" Mama's voice was full of energy, "I see that it's time for lunch, so I won't disturb your purity, like a mess of things waiting for me in the Smoke Pavilion——"
"Mama might as well stay and eat before leaving, it's rare for the prince to have free today-"
Always say kind words.
"You husband and wife rarely have time to talk about themselves, my wife naturally wants to know each other, remember to eat the dim sum while it's hot, and the old body will leave——"
Mama Xu has the eyesight, but in fact, the two of us really don't have anything to say, and we don't want to eat at the same table, because I think you are sharp-eyed, and I am afraid that I will smash the drama of "husband and wife love".
Zhou Lingqing watched Mama Xu out of the courtyard, and changed into an invincible and energetic ice cube face, he casually pinched a piece of lily cake, and went straight to the main seat to sit down.
"The prince didn't have breakfast before going to court?"
It's not noon, why is it like a starving ghost reincarnated?
"It's not the result of a stalemate with your Chu Huai brother in the morning, this king originally thought that he should be honest in the future, but who knew that after a few days of silence, it became even worse-" His eyes almost erupted with fire.
"Where do I know about the affairs of the court, the prince is hungry, so I will let people pass the meal-"
Let's talk about something else, can't we?
"You don't understand? I think you know a lot! He picked up another snack and put it in his mouth, "What are you waiting for?" ”
"Gotcha—"
With this guy, you have to talk less nonsense, and I'm going to go out when I answer the sound.
"The dignified Ling Wangfu, everyone is dead, do you need a princess to pass the meal? Call Xiao Jiu to go - you, come back! ”
I laughed and called Xiao Jiu over, Xiao Jiu said at the door, "I don't know if the prince wants to eat today... What to eat? ”
"He's going to eat everything, you go-"
Our master and servant are two, and one can run one!
I went back to where I was, waiting for the guy's command.
Zhou Lingqing saw me turn around, cleared his throat and said, "Your brother Chu Huai, now that he has been promoted to a first-grade palace scholar, the emperor has rewarded his new residence, and he will move there when he is ready.
What are you afraid of, why does the Chu family always have to hold banquets?
"This ...... The prince only called me sick and pushed it on—"
"Why, there hasn't been anything unseemly, how can I go?"
"That's... Alright then—" I replied through gritted teeth.
"I see you've been looking forward to seeing him for a long time, and you deserve to be so anxious—"
The corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching, and it took a long time before I replied, "Lord Wang, it's good for you to make a decision, you don't have to discuss with me, just say hello if you need my cooperation, you don't need me, it's good that I'm just here." ”
There is no correct answer to this question in Zhou Lingqing's eyes, he just wants to be a "yin and yang" person.
"Please, my lord, my wife moved to the dining room, only one duck soup was still warm, and the others were served one after another——"
Xiao Jiu came to my rescue in time.
Zhou Ling snorted coldly and got up, and rushed out first - this guy may really be on an empty stomach. When I got to the table, I saw him sweep a table of delicacies as fast as he could, and then glanced at me and walked out of the garden.
What have I done to cause this fire to burn myself for no reason? You know, Zhou Lingqing couldn't stop coughing yesterday, and I also took the initiative to send cough syrup and throat and phlegm pills! This change of face is too fast!
Xiao Jiu saw that I was really confused, so he explained while making vegetables for me, "Madam, don't mind, the prince has touched a lot of soft nails in the court in the past two days, and it is inevitable that there will be troubles in my heart from time to time!" ”
Will he be able to take me wild if he doesn't go well? How can there be such an immortal in this mansion who is about to explode at any time?
Xiao Jiu saw that I was still embarrassed, so she continued her speech.
She said that it was all the Lord Chu, and he had been promoted too quickly recently, and that's it, he had to go against the prince in everything, and the prince said that Jiangnan should first send grain to relieve the victims, and he had to say that he needed to send someone to treat the water first, and then open a warehouse for disaster relief, otherwise even the grain would be flooded at that time, and the gains would outweigh the losses! The southern barbarians harassed the border of the Great Zhou, and the prince said that they just wanted to eat their stomachs, and they really didn't have to use force, so why not teach them to cultivate and moralize them? Lord Chu said, how can the prince who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years know to be soft day by day? The Great Zhou soldiers are mighty, so naturally they have to show their might in order to deter them! In short, he has to go against the prince in everything! Recently, Lord Chu began to arch the emperor every day and send inspectors to inspect outside the Guan, saying that although the Guanwai is also the territory of the Great Zhou, it has been the emperor of the soil for many years, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible at this time to prevent future troubles! It is said that the emperor is already considering giving him this errand!
I don't understand, why is Xiao Jiu at the forefront of eating melons every time, how much hot spot will I know less about current affairs without her?
She paused before talking about today's court, she said that she heard the little girl outside say that the prince lifted the table in the palace today! The reason is that he brought cough syrup to the cabinet, and he was drinking it energetically, Lord Chu arrived, and people were happy to talk to him, he ignored people, and somehow said that Lord Chu was a child, and Lord Chu said that he also drank cough syrup with this smell when he was a child, and he went to King Jing's Mansion as a guest, and he made it from his little friend at that time, and he will never forget this taste for the rest of his life! Then the prince was furious, lifted the table and ran away.
Cough syrup was sprinkled all over the floor.
