After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 114 Punishment
It is said that this house belonged to the old princess's maternal family. The Cui family of Jinling bought an alley for her and hired skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build it. The plaque at the door was bestowed by Emperor Taizong of that year. It is said that there is an iron certificate with red ink behind the plaque.
So when Emperor Xianzong wanted to take action against King Tianji, the old princess acted decisively and took the infant Lin Xun to Shuiyunju to avoid disaster.
It is said that even the Divine Armor Army under the Emperor at that time did not dare to enter this place without permission, thus preserving the bloodline of the Tianji Palace.
According to rumors, Shuiyunju is a very mysterious place...
"Miss, we are here."
Nanny Song's words interrupted Xiao Xuetang's memories. With a creak, the vermilion door slowly opened, and bursts of lotus fragrance came to her face...
When Xiao Xuetang saw the scene clearly, her eyes lit up...
Xiao Xuetang had always thought that Shuiyunju should be an extremely mysterious and solemn place, so he was not mentally prepared. When he suddenly saw the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he forgot to walk.
Directly at the entrance of Shuiyunju is a huge lotus pond, the blue sky is like a mirror, and the white clouds cast faint shadows.
It was June, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom, swaying in the wind among the jade-like lotus leaves. The wind carried the fragrance of the lotus, making the place feel even cleaner and more dust-free.
There are weeping willows, sycamores and other trees planted all around, and the green trees are so lush that you won’t feel the heat even in summer.
The sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, sprinkling on the white pebbles like broken gold, like a dream...
Looking around, I saw that the garden was extremely large. In the distance there were houses with white tiles and black walls, flying eaves, rockery and corridors, which were dazzling to the eyes.
Most of the residences of noble families in Kyoto are grand and majestic, so the walls are built very high, and the walls, buildings and even flowers are all elegant and gorgeous peonies.
The courtyard here is well-arranged, and the flowers and plants planted here, in addition to lotus, are mostly orchids, hostas, etc., which are all flowers and plants loved by southerners.
The carved wall shadows and hollow flower windows are exquisitely carved in a simple and elegant style, making them more like the buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.
Xiao Xuetang had only seen these things in books and paintings, but she didn't expect them to appear before her eyes one by one. She felt dizzy for a moment and was completely stunned.
"Because I grew up in Jiangnan, my father and brother built a garden like this for me in Kyoto to understand my homesickness."
The old princess walked closer and explained to Xiao Xuetang. She found the little girl standing there in a daze inexplicably cute and she wanted to pinch her face for some reason.
So, he stretched out his hand and pinched it, saying with a smile: "Although my Shuiyunju is not as luxurious as the Marquis's Mansion, it is better in being quiet. Can you still live there?"
Xiao Xuetang came back to her senses, met the old princess's kind eyes, and said hurriedly: "Old princess, you are really embarrassing me. Such a good place, I will never get tired of living there for the rest of my life!"
This is true.
Although the Marquis's Mansion was good, for Xiao Xuetang, the only thing that truly belonged to her was the small world of Litangju. Even in that small world, her every move was monitored.
"Besides, you saw today that the Marquis' Mansion was in such a mess. If you didn't take me in today, I would have to live on the street."
The old princess liked the girl's liveliness and said, "Since you like her, then stay for a while longer. I'll ask Nanny Song to clean up the yard."
Nanny Song said, "There are many courtyards in Shuiyunju, but they have not been occupied for many years, so it will take a while to clean them up."
Then he explained to Xiao Xuetang, "It's nothing else. Shuiyunju is built by the water and has many plants. The uninhabited garden is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. The young lady is delicate and I'm afraid she can't stand it."
The old princess thought for a while and said, "Then let's clean up a room in the East Garden."
Xiao Xuetang didn't expect to cause so much trouble to the old princess today, and felt a little guilty.
But before she could speak, the old princess took the initiative to smile and said, "Of course, you can't stay here for nothing. You are a good doctor, so it's just right for you to stay by my side these days and help me take care of my body."
Xiao Xuetang said quickly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely cure your old illness!"
The old princess had a chronic illness that even the imperial doctors in the palace couldn't cure, let alone a little girl like Xiao Xuetang...
Xiao Xuetang saw the old princess's suspicion, but did not explain too much. She would prove it with her strength!
But Xiao Xuetang was not idle during this period. He read all the medical books left by his grandfather.
When she was young, she studied medicine with her third uncle Xie Xuehe. Later, when she grew up and had some freedom before she came of age, she also helped Doctor Qi see patients at Jishan Hall. She had an extraordinary talent in studying medicine.
Among the ancient books left by the Xie family, the Chinese medicine books are rare treasures. Xiao Xuetang has studied them thoroughly and can even cure Lin Xun's blood rot poison. Xiao Xuetang is confident that he can cure the old princess's stubborn illness!
Seeing that they were having a good time chatting, Nanny Song went to the small kitchen to prepare dinner.
Langya also came over and wouldn't let go of Xiao Xuetang. That little ancestor couldn't live without meat, so he had to ask the kitchen to prepare more roast chicken...
Just at this time, Bi Hen brought news from the Marquis' Mansion.
Ye Jin, got beaten!
……
At the beginning in the Huguo Temple, Ye Jin was worried that Xiao Xuetang would find out something, so he pretended to be calm.
After getting on the carriage, Ye Jin was shaking violently as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He whispered to Qiao Niang: "Find someone to go to the Prince of Runan's Mansion to inquire... We must know how Madam Nan is doing now."
Qiao Niang, like Ye Jin, had a look of impending storm. She looked outside the carriage very cautiously before saying, "Don't worry, young lady. Xiao Cui has been sent. They know Xiao Cui and will not hide any news."
Hearing this, Ye Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned against the wall of the carriage, muttering, "How did it become like this?"
Today, Ye Jin thought that his plan was flawless, but...
I don’t know what kind of magical powers Xiao Xuetang has. During today’s trip to the Huguo Temple, Ye Jin’s camp ended up in a miserable defeat.
Those who set up the trap today, from Lin Shaoshu and Madam Nan to Xiao Ruoruo and Zhang Hua, all suffered backlash.
But she was safe and sound!
She had fought with Xiao Xuetang for such a long time, and she knew a little bit about Xiao Xuetang's personality. She didn't think Xiao Xuetang was soft-hearted towards her...
What exactly is Xiao Xuetang going to do?
Ye Jin returned to the mansion anxiously, but as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw that the queen had sent someone to him.
It was Su Ying who had conveyed the message to her in Huguo Temple today!
"Aunt Suying, why are you here?"
Su Ying looked at Ye Jin and sneered. Before Su Ying could react, she raised her hand and slapped Ye Jin hard!
Ye Jin didn't dare to dodge and could only take it.
Su Ying was not an ordinary palace maid, she was the queen's secret guard. After two or three slaps, Ye Jin's face was already swollen.
Su Ying actually slapped Ye Jin twenty times!
When he stopped, Ye Jin's face had been broken, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable and terrifying.
Ye Jin could only endure the pain and didn't say a word.
Su Ying glanced at Ye Jin and sneered, "The Queen said that these ten slaps were just a small punishment. Ye Jin, you'd better pray that the prince is safe this time. If the prince makes any mistakes today, you and your Ye's Company will both have your heads cleaned!"
It turned out to be because of the prince’s matter today!
A fierce look flashed across Ye Jin's eyes...
In the past, Su Ying and others were always respectful to Ye Jin, and Ye Jin was used to the feeling of being superior and threatening.
But at this time...
She was threatened!
