594 Shivering in the cold wind
Ling Xiaorou and He Louyuan sat in a warm room, the three children ran around the table and played, looking at the warmth and joy of this family, and then thinking about Li Xun and the group nesting in the cramped small courtyard, I really don't know what he is trying to do.
Because of the heavy snowfall before, the roads in the capital were blocked, the news outside the capital could not be transmitted, and the news in the capital could not be transmitted.
It's about to be the New Year again, and the days are all idle, even if there are still a lot of government affairs, there are old hermits to accompany Mingcheng to deal with it, He Louyuan can occasionally be idle for a day, and even Mingcheng can sleep for an extra hour every day.
As soon as people are idle, He Louyuan has time to ponder Li Xun, to say that Li Xun has also been the emperor, and he has come over with brocade clothes and jade food, how can he endure the kind of hard life of not eating well and not living warmly?
He Louyuan was impressed by him, but when he thought that this person had used all that little ability in unreliable places, He Louyuan still wanted to beat him up.
Therefore, even though Li Xun, who knew that he was very helpless and tortured by life, intended to return to the palace, but he was missing a step, He Louyuan did not want to move the ladder for him.
Love can't go back, they really don't lack his rotten egg!
Thinking of Li Xun's life now, and then looking at his three lovely children and beautiful daughter-in-law, He Louyuan couldn't help but want to grin.
What is a winner in life? Like him, who has a wife and children, is powerful, has a house and money, and who doesn't envy him?
He Louyuan, who was a little carried away proudly, asked the maid to bring the wine over, although there were not many special wines from the palace brought from Weicheng Mansion, but the prince wanted to drink it or he could drink it openly.
Ling Xiaorou could naturally see his thoughts, in the past, when he fought wits and courage with Li Xun, every time he won, although others couldn't see his pride, Ling Xiaorou could see it, not to mention that when he heard someone report the hardships of the emperor's life this morning, he immediately became full of energy, and his mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears.
Alas, I really don't understand the way they get along like this, why did He Louyuan choose to put Li Xun on the throne in the first place? Is this considered that He Lou looked away from afar?
I personally went to get four dishes, although there are not many dishes, but they are all He Louyuan's favorite food, He Louyuan eats and drinks while drinking, the more he wants to eat and drink spicy here, Li Xun only has steamed bacon and steamed dried vegetables, the better his mood is, and he drinks wine more diligently.
Ling Xiaorou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took the three children to the window to watch the maids build snowmen and play in the yard.
Because the weather is getting colder and colder after the snow, it has reached the point where the water drips into ice, except for the noon when the sun is at its fullest, Ling Xiaorou will take the children to play outside in the snow for a while, and most of the time they play in the house.
Although the children were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to resist when they saw Ling Xiaorou's serious appearance, and let the maids play in the yard when they wanted to play in the snow, and they lay in front of the window and watched.
Although the Ningyuan Palace, when he moved before, was emptied by He Louyu, the glass windows were also taken away. The last time he entered Beijing, Li Xun sent someone to install paper windows first. But this time I couldn't go back to Weicheng Mansion for a while, as early as when I knew that Ling Xiaorou came from Weicheng with the baby, He Louyuan sent someone to replace the windows in the small courtyard where they lived with glass, which was not only warm and bright, but also allowed the children to lie in front of the window and look outside, and the children still liked it very much.
Finally, the children looked forward to it all morning, seeing that the sun was about to rise to the highest, and the children didn't need the help of the maid, they put on their own little hats, scarves and gloves, and waited in front of the door with the small wooden cart made by Ling Xiaorou and the snow play tools made of bamboo.
Ling Xiaorou smiled helplessly, it happened that He Lou was rarely at home in broad daylight, so he took the children to the yard to dig snow and play.
The children cheered loudly, and King Ningyuan, who was cold and cool in the eyes of others, was easier to bully than his mother in their eyes, at least if they were too naughty, his mother would beat their little butts, but his father never moved a finger against them.
Although when the mother beats them, the father will not persuade the mother, but later, when the mother is still angry, the father persuades the mother to calm the anger, so in the hearts of the children, if the mother is not angry, the only way to find the father to persuade the mother.
Of course, after they make their mother angry, their father will also give them a beating, but compared to their mother who will beat people when she is angry, Dad's nagging is nothing.
The children just rolled a big snowball together, and someone came to report: The emperor is here!
Immediately afterwards, Ming Cheng, who was dressed in casual clothes, appeared outside the courtyard, and Duan Jin'er, who was left by the Queen Mother's side to accompany and raised, the brocade clothes decorated with white fox fur were worn by the two children very cute, Ling Xiaorou saw it a few times and also liked Duan Jin'er, who was raised more and more snow-white and cute, and the three children also stuck to her tightly.
Duan Jin'er is the first time to come to Ningyuan Palace, and it is the first time to see the children's tools for playing with snow.
Yu Rou liked this sister who didn't speak loudly but laughed very movingly, carrying a small bamboo bucket in one hand and a small bamboo shovel in the other, she ran over to Duan Jin'er.
"Sister Jin'er, let's play together."
Duan Jin'er looked at Ling Xiaorou, saw her nodding with a smile, her face was slightly red, and she was pulled to the side of the snowdrift by Yu Rou.
Ming Cheng, who felt that he was neglected, was sour, but after becoming the emperor, He Louyuan had been teaching him to be happy and angry, he endured the sourness in his heart and looked at the brothers, but at this time, Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi's eyes were staring at his sister and Sister Jin'er, as if he didn't see that there was a brother Mingcheng who came with Sister Jin'er, and finally took his own tools to Jin'er's side to play in the snow together.
Compared with Brother Mingcheng, who is becoming less and less cute, Sister Jin'er, who is beautiful, fragrant and gentle, likes it more.
Mingcheng was hit and felt that his younger brothers and sisters were not close to him, although he also liked Jin'er very much, but after all, he was only a six-year-old child, not to mention the grievances in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and he endured and endured tears before they fell.
Ling Xiaorou shook her head when she looked at it, these children are really, they always talk about Brother Mingcheng on weekdays, why do they ignore others when Brother Mingcheng comes?
Seeing that He Louyuan was about to open his mouth to train Mingcheng, Ling Xiaorou hurriedly stuffed a small cart and a small shovel to Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, you go and coax your younger brothers and sisters to play!" ”
If King Ning Yuan, who doesn't talk much, is allowed to open his mouth to train people, it will definitely be torture for everyone's ears, and in front of his family, once his chatterbox is opened, it will be endless.
Moreover, even if Ming Cheng is an emperor, he is only seven years old after the New Year, and in his previous life, he was just in elementary school, and he was the most innocent age, so why should he be old-fashioned? The child is still cheerful and cute.
"Thank you, Master!" Mingcheng took the tool and ran to the children, and soon the five children were playing together, He Lou saw Ling Xiaorou's gaze, and then looked at the children playing together, and also felt that he was a little strict with Mingcheng.
But Mingcheng has an irresponsible father, his starting point is different from other children, if he is not stricter, the child does not say that he has developed Li Xun's temperament, what if he misses the national event because of greed?
Ling Xiaorou pulled He Lou into the room, "Lord, I know what you want to say, but you also have to believe that the emperor is a child who knows how to be measured, and it doesn't hurt to be strict when you should be strict, but it's rare to come out to play and relax, you can't make the emperor happy?" ”
He Louyuan sighed, "How can I not know? If you want to talk about the emperor, he is much stronger than his father, but now there are constant internal worries, since the second brother returned to Weicheng Mansion, my power in the court is not as good as before, not to mention that it is almost difficult, and we don't know when we will be able to return to Weicheng Mansion if it goes on like this, I'm not in a hurry. ”
Ling Xiaorou also frowned, although it looked peaceful at this time, but once there was no He Lou staring behind him, at such a young age as Ming Cheng, there were always people who were ready to move.
No matter how you think about it, I think it's better for Li Xun to go back to the palace to preside over the overall situation, even if Li Xun can't wait to live a free life, at least he has to wait for Mingcheng to mature enough to support a country alone, and now no matter how smart Mingcheng is, a few years old children can't suppress those treacherous and cunning courtiers.
So, Ling Xiaorou decided to give Li Xun some more power, and only by letting him obediently return to the palace can he realize how ridiculous the previous practices for the so-called freedom were.
The children played until the evening, and after dinner in Ningyuan Palace, Mingcheng took Duan Jin'er back to the palace, how long has it been since he had such a good time, Mingcheng has been smiling even if he returns to the palace, but unfortunately he will be busy again from Ming'er, and he only looks forward to not having to go to court in the New Year's Day, and he can be idle for a few days.
On the second day, after He Louyuan went to court, Ling Xiaorou sent people to find someone outside to go to the guard's house where Li Xun now lives, only saying that he liked the location of the house and wanted to buy several houses around him in a row.
Because of the amount of money given, the house was in disrepair, and the guards didn't pay attention to it in the first place, if it wasn't for the people sent by Ling Xiaorou, they would probably have forgotten about this house.
Soon took the silver, bought the house, and then took the deed that had been re-registered in the yamen and came back to restore his life, Ling Xiaorou was very satisfied, and rewarded the subordinates who went to do the errands.
After that, he asked him to find a few idlers outside to collect the house, and there was no place to live, to see how long Li Xun could last.
When she came back in the evening, Ling Xiaorou gave her a heavy reward, and when she thought of the shocked expressions on Li Xun and his guards when they learned that the house had been sold, Ling Xiaorou couldn't help but feel good.
Li Xun has been nesting in the house these days, he can't even bother to get off the bed, it's freezing outside, and the house is not much warmer.
Reluctantly, he blocked all the holes with a quilt, but the house was even darker, Li Xun sighed every day, if he didn't pull his face back to the palace to be ridiculed by He Louyuan, he really wanted to go back to the palace regardless of it.
