There is nothing else to do but chat.

They chatted from Princess Minghe's childhood to practice. Princess Minghe suddenly remembered something and asked, "Qin Wan and Xue Ning'er's strength has improved so fast. What's the secret? Lin Xiu didn't deny it, just smiled and said : "Yes, but it can only be used on them. "

Princess Minghe thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Shuangxiu?"

Lin Xiu nodded slightly.

Princess Minghe stopped asking. She is an outsider, how could she have the nerve to ask someone about the double cultivation of husband and wife?

At this time, her stomach growled.

The cakes that the concubine empress smuggled were not many, Lin Xiu shared them with her, each only got a few pieces, not only her, Lin Xiu was also a little hungry.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Xiu asked, "Do you want to have some supper?"

Princess Minghe said decisively: "Let's go."

Although they are still in confinement, the two of them obviously don't care, and they both know that His Majesty put them in confinement,

Just for fun, Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe opened the palace door and walked out, saying to the guard at the door: "We are hungry, let's find something to eat."

A guard looked embarrassed and said, "Master Lin, princess, this..."

Another guard immediately said: "I hope that the lord and the princess will come back soon, otherwise we will not be able to deal with people who are usually locked up, let alone looking for something to eat, even this palace is not allowed to leave, but everyone knows, The identities of these two people are not ordinary. They slapped the princess, but they were locked up by His Majesty for a day. The meaning of protecting can no longer be obvious, so why should they be troublesome...

Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe avoided the patrolling guards and strolled all the way to the imperial dining room.

Early the next morning, when the officials of the imperial dining room opened the dining room, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

When the imperial dining room closes every night, everything will be tidied up, the kitchen utensils will be put back in place, vegetables and meat will be put back into the cold storage, and there will be special inspections. But when I open the door today, although the dining room is not a mess, it is also Some messy.

There was a copper pot on the ground, two pieces of tofu on the table, some unfinished vegetables, meat rolls, and several empty wine jars.

The official who saw this scene was shocked: "Is this a thief?"

However, he quickly denied his thoughts, even if there were audacious thieves who dared to enter the palace at night to steal, they would not steal things from the imperial dining room, but he still reported the matter to the higher-ups.

After Zhu Jin came over to have a look, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, do what you need to do, don't worry about this matter.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, he came to the Hall of Thoughts and asked two guards to open the door. Princess Minghe and Lin Xiu were sleeping on the ground. Princess Minghe was resting on Lin Xiu's arm, with one arm still on his chest. Unsightly.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the hall. The thief who entered the imperial dining room last night was obviously here.

Zhu Jin coughed lightly, and Princess Minghe woke up slowly, and found that she was lying on Lin Xiu, her face was slightly taken aback. In her dream, she thought she was holding Lin Xiu, but it seemed more comfortable than Lin Xiu...

She immediately sat up and pushed Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu actually woke up a long time ago, but he was embarrassed to wake up Princess Minghe. He opened his eyes and sat up from the ground. Zhu Jin glanced at them and said, "Your Majesty said, you can go."

Lin Xiu stood up, yawned, waved to Zhu Jin, and walked out of the hall.

The place in the Hall of Thoughts is naturally not as comfortable as the bed at home. It is not as comfortable to be hugged by Princess Minghe, nor is it comfortable to be hugged by Ning'er. bed for him...

Princess Minghe also followed behind him, she almost no longer lives in the harem, and returned to the same home as Lin Xiu.

Her head hurts a bit, yesterday she ate hot pot and drank wine in the imperial dining room with Lin Xiu, she got drunk after drinking two jars, and she didn't know how she got back afterwards.

She thought about it carefully, and finally remembered something.

He was hungry last night, so he and Lin Xiu went to the imperial dining room to find something to eat, and later found that there were a lot of ingredients there, so they ate a hot pot meal there and drank some wine...

Not a little, but a lot.

She vaguely remembered that after drinking too much, she grabbed Lin Xiu by the collar and asked him angrily, why didn't she agree to her father...

Thinking of this, her face turned red with shame.

It's over, it's over, after getting drunk, he actually spoke his mind...

She took a tentative look at Lin Xiu and asked, "Last night, after I got drunk, did I say anything that shouldn't be said?

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "I'm also drunk and can't remember anything. Did you remember anything?"

Princess Minghe shook her head and said, "No, I drank too much last night, I don't even remember how I got back."

Lin Xiu gave her a police look and said, "Of course I carried you back."

Princess Minghe said: "Thank you."

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "No thanks, you're not heavy anyway."

Women are very concerned about their weight, and they should be happy when they are told that they are not heavy.

But Princess Minghe always feels that Lin Xiu is turning a corner and mocking her. She wants to be as important as Qin Wan and A Ke, but the problem is that she can't do it...

Lin Xiuruo glanced at Princess Minghe nonchalantly. Of course, he is not the weak chicken who poured it in a glass before. Even the strongest wine in the capital can be drunk as water, so Princess Minghe grabbed his clothes yesterday. He was very clear-headed when he asked him why he didn't agree to Emperor Xia to marry her.

Lin Xiu didn't know if she didn't want to pay back the 40 taels, or she was attracted to his secret method of double cultivation, but there was no doubt that their incomparably precious and pure friendship seemed to have deteriorated a bit.

Minghe has betrayed their friendship.

I hope both of you will hold on.

After returning to Shanglin Garden, Lin Xiu found that his parents and father-in-law were there, and he said apologetically, "Father and mother,

Father-in-law and mother-in-law, sorry for making you worry. "

Zhou Yun shook his hand and said, "Your Majesty is protecting you this time, don't be so impulsive next time."

Lin Xiudao: "If she dares to have a next time, I don't mind being imprisoned for a few more days.

Zhou Yun tapped him on the head angrily, and said, "You child..."

She pretended to be angry, but her eyes were full of smiles.

As soon as Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe came back, several eunuchs came to the palace. Emperor Xia sent someone to send some honeydew melons as a tribute from the Western Regions, as if Lin Xiu was not the one who was fined for a day of confinement in the palace yesterday.

This also reassured Ping'anhou and Wu'anhou and his wife. This is a hint that His Majesty's heart is still in the Lin family.

Lin Xiu walked into the kitchen, cut the honeydew melon into small pieces, stuck it with a toothpick, and fed a piece to Zhao Lingjun first, then Caiyi, Ning'er, Qin Wan, and Qianye Lin. Lingyin.

At this time, the maids at home had already cut up all the honeydew melons and brought them out.

In the pavilion, Zhao Lingyin held the jade bowl, fed one piece to her mother, one piece to her sister, and another piece for herself.

Lin Xiu saw his mother-in-law beckoning to him, so he walked over and sat on the stool.

Mrs. Wu'an Hou looked at Lin Xiu, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

Whether it is appearance, talent, or conduct, he is second-class. Looking at the entire capital, she can't find a second one. In the past, because he took concubines many times, she still had some grudges in her heart. After this incident, then a little grudge,

Also disappeared without a trace.

On the contrary, the couple felt a little embarrassed.

What their two daughters look like, they know in their hearts that those who can tolerate them must have an extremely broad mind.

Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at Lin Xiu and said, "It's been hard for you these days."

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "Why did your mother-in-law say that?"

Mrs. Wu Anhou said: "Lingjun has been withdrawn since she was a child, and she devoted herself to practicing. Your father-in-law and I have been worried that she doesn't know how to be a good wife, and we are worried that your husband and wife will not get along well. Thanks to you being so tolerant to her, people say she is Marry, but actually being able to marry you is her blessing."

Zhao Lingjun raised her head: "???"

Lin Xiu repeatedly said: "No, no, Lingjun is the best wife in the world, and it is my good fortune to marry her...

At this time, Mrs. Wu Anhou said again: "The spirit voice is stubborn, doesn't understand etiquette, and has no rules. I have been nagging you for the past two years, causing you a lot of trouble, and you are not tired of it."

Zhao Lingyin put a piece of honeydew melon to her mouth, her expression froze.

"?"

Unruly, undisciplined, ignorant of etiquette?

Then, she gave Lin Xiu a fierce look.

It means that if he dares to follow his mother's advice, he should look good.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu Anhou saw this glance, raised her hand and tapped her forehead, and said angrily:

"Look, do you think your brother-in-law is afraid of you? He is letting you in. You have been spoiled by him more and more without rules..."

Lin Xiu smiled and said: "It's okay, she is Lingjun's younger sister, and I should pet her.

295 Threat

It has to be said that the mother-in-law still knows her two daughters very well.

The eldest daughter has a withdrawn personality and doesn't know how to deal with others, let alone be a good wife. On the night of her wedding, she ran away without saying a word. If she were replaced by another man, she would have to divorce her on the second day of the wedding. Be a treasure.

The youngest daughter is naughty, doesn't know etiquette, has no rules, is neither big nor small, and likes to push her boundaries...

After being reminded by her like this, Lin Xiu herself felt that it was not easy for her.

After the mother-in-law left, Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "I don't know etiquette, do I have no rules?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "It's okay."

What he likes is the spirit voice who doesn't know etiquette, has no rules, and used to press him against the wall at every turn. When did she behave, understand etiquette, and stop pushing her feet, he is not used to it.

Zhao Lingjun also shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because in Mother's eyes, you have always been a child."

Lingyin agreed very much: "She is prejudiced, thinking that I am still a child."

Zhao Lingjun was silent for a moment, and asked: "I am withdrawn, can't I get along with others?"

Lin Xiu and Lingyin looked at each other, then lowered their heads at the same time.

"Eat melon."

"This melon is quite sweet."

"If you like to eat, I will ask His Majesty for some more tomorrow..."

Zhang House.

The Crown Princess, who was supposed to be confined in the East Palace for three days, appeared in the Zhang family at this moment.

The swelling on both sides of her face has subsided, but the flames of hatred in her eyes are still not extinguished. The dignified daughter of the Zhang family, the prince and concubine, and the future queen, was killed by a second-class marquis at the gate of the palace in front of so many people. Her son slapped her, making her a joke in the entire king's capital.

If this matter is over like this, what face will she have in front of those ladies in the future?

At this time, a servant of Zhang's mansion came in from the outside and said, "Master, Lin Xiu has already returned to the mansion, and His Majesty also ordered some melons from the Western Region countries to be sent to Lin's mansion..."

Beside Zhang Xian, a middle-aged woman said: "My lord, your majesty is obviously biased. It is a capital crime to change someone else, but your majesty only locked him up for a day, and gave him a reward right after he got back. On the surface, it's a kindness." Pet, to put it in a deeper way, he is suppressing our Zhang family..."

The concubine also continued on the sidelines: "The incident in the south of the Yangtze River last time must have been instigated by His Majesty behind the scenes, and last time, the third brother was arrested by him and taken to the yamen, which also disgraced the family. This is not a daughter. He has humiliated our Zhang family time and time again about the matter of one person, if you don't care about it, what will others think of our Zhang family, don't you want to lose the face of the family? "

Zhang Xian glanced at her and asked, "Then what do you want?"

The princess gritted her teeth and said, "If it's not his life, I want the hand he hit me!"

Zhang Xian snorted coldly and said, "Who do you think he is, who do you think Zhao Lingjun is, let alone slap you, even if he slaps the prince, no one can give him a hand."

So far, Zhao Lingjun is still the only pride of the Great Xia Dynasty.

With her here, Daxia can retain the face of the Five Great Dynasties.

As one of the five great dynasties, if there is not even one in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, let alone the imperial court, the Zhang family and the dignitaries of the royal capital will feel ashamed.

It is impossible to ask Lin Xiu to do it alone, and even asking His Majesty to punish him severely is just a dream.

His Majesty agreed, but the courtiers and other dignitaries did not agree.

Dabi is only half a month old, and if something happens to him, no one can bear the responsibility.

But as the daughter said, if the Zhang family does nothing about this matter and suffers silently, it will indeed damage the family's face.

The Zhang family has lost enough face, and they need to find a way to restore some.

Zhang Xian thought for a while and said, "I will let him apologize to you in front of the courtiers."

The princess was displeased and said: "He slapped me, is an apology enough?"

Zhang Xian snorted coldly, and said: "If you have the ability of her wife, if the prince has his ability, you can also be so arrogant, if you don't, just shut up, you have no place to speak here!"

The princess lowered her head and stopped talking.

Although this is far from what she expected, some results are better than no results.

The common people and dignitaries in the royal capital guessed rightly that the case of Lin Xiu being in charge of the Crown Princess was not so easily resolved.

After all, she is the crown princess, or the future queen, and her other identity is the daughter of the Zhang family. At the early court today, the head of the Zhang family strongly condemned Lin Xiu's behavior in front of the courtiers, and demanded that He apologized to the princess, and his statement was seconded by more than half of the courtiers.

Even the Song family, who had always been at odds with the Zhang family, agreed with the Zhang family's proposal.
