Herb Family [Rebirth]

After the group of people set out on the road, Bai Heng and Lu Qi simply assumed that Xu Ru didn't exist.

Although Xu Ru will prepare a room for Xu Ru when staying at the top, no matter what excuse Xu Ru makes, Bai Heng and Lu Qi have made up their minds not to see her. Everyone just pretends not to hear.

All the way, Xu Ru was almost at a loss.

Seeing that the capital was approaching, she hadn't even said a word to Lu Qi.

In this way, her trip to the capital is tantamount to returning without success. It is better to stay in Tongcheng and take pictures slowly. At least she can gain more favor in front of Mrs. Lu, so as to win the favor and support of her future mother-in-law.

But things have come to this point, she can't turn around and go back to Tongcheng now, so she can only bite the bullet and continue to follow.

In the evening of that day, the convoy arrived at a county seat near the capital city. It only takes another day's journey from here to the capital city. Bai Heng and others settled down here and planned to enter Beijing tomorrow morning.

After arriving at the inn and settling down, Bai Heng shared a room with Lu Qi, and Xu Ru shared a room by herself, but the two rooms were far apart.

After Bai Heng and Lu Qi entered the room, they asked someone to bring hot water. After a brief wash, Xiaoer happened to bring up dinner, and the two sat down to eat.

After eating, Bai Heng made a pot of tea to relieve his tiredness and digestion, and chatted with Lu Qi.

At this moment, Bai Zhong knocked on the door and came in, walked up to Bai Heng and said, "Master, there is a lot of trouble at Miss Xu's place, I have to see Young Master Lu."

"Is there anything good to see, you tell her that I'm taking a break." Lu Qi refused without waiting for Bai Heng to speak.

Bai Zhong had no choice but to back down.

"Your peach blossom debt is embarrassing for my boy." Bai Heng shook his head and smiled.

"What kind of peach blossom debt, it's just someone who has nothing to do with it." Lu Qi was a little awkward, and hurriedly separated his relationship with Xu Ru.

"It's not a solution for her to chase you like this. If someone from the Xu family comes after entering Beijing, can you still push it?" Bai Heng said while holding the teacup, sipping a sip of tea and squinting his eyes.

Lu Qi pursed his lips and did not speak. He also knew that Bai Heng's worries were not unreasonable. After all, the Xu family was his maternal ancestor's family. Even if the Xu family did not send someone to invite him after entering Beijing, he had to go to the Xu family's door. .

Although he could avoid seeing Xu Ru now, but when he arrived at Xu's house, he might not be able to avoid it even if he wanted to.

"It's really troublesome." Lu Qi spat, quite annoyed.

"Actually, it's not impossible..." Bai Heng was always a little annoyed because of Xu Ru's great hospitality to Lu Qi, but he couldn't bear to see that Lu Qi was really being pestered. up.

"What way?!" Lu Qi cheered up and asked. He was almost driven crazy by Xu Ru along the way. He didn't know how much he said, but the other party still didn't give up.

"After entering Beijing, you can enter the palace with me." Bai Heng said, the only way to avoid the Xu family right now is to entrust the protection of His Highness the Crown Prince.After Lu Qi entered the palace, even the Xu family would not be able to ask for someone from His Royal Highness.

Lu Qi frowned after hearing this. In fact, he didn't really want to have anything to do with the palace. It was this time that Bai Heng was called into the palace, and he was not very willing in his heart, let alone trapped himself in the palace.

But he also knew that besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was indeed no other way to stop the Xu family. ...

Early the next morning, Bai Heng's motorcade entered the capital, and Xu Ru wanted to thank Lu Qi and invite Lu Qi to visit Xu's house, but before she had time to make the request, the carriage took her to another road, and went directly to Lu Qi. Waiting for people to separate.

Xu Ru was very angry sitting in the car, but she couldn't do anything about it. She only brought some maids and servants with her, and she couldn't compete with the servants of the Bai family at all, and was suppressed all the way.

Even when she was resting on the way, she wanted to get close to Lu Qi's carriage, but was stopped by someone.

She tried every means, even pretending to be sick, but along the way, she didn't even meet Lu Qi.

Now she is gnashing her teeth to the Bai family.

Originally, she thought that the young master of the Bai family was also a young talent, and the family background of the Bai family was no worse than that of the Lu family. If the cousin of the Lu family really had no intentions of her, she could change her target.

But who knew that the young master of the Bai family was not only ungrateful, but also treated her like a scourge.

It was also impossible for Xu Ru to stick to it all the time with a shy face. After all, she and the young master of the Bai family were not related, and her self-esteem was hurt, so she also let go and stopped thinking about hooking up with Bai Heng.

Since there was no hope of hooking up with Bai Heng, she turned her mind back to Lu Qi.

But who knows that the young master of the Bai family is really a dog and a mouse, he is so nosy, and actually prevents her from getting close to Lu's cousin.

At this moment, Xu Ru's longing for Bai Heng can be said to have completely disappeared, but on the contrary, she is very angry with Bai Heng.

So when she returned to Xu's house, when she saw her mother, her eyes were red with grievance.

Seeing this, Third Mrs. Xu quickly pulled her into her arms, "Mother, be good, what's the matter, who bullied you?"

"Mother..." Xu Ru sobbed, feeling more and more wronged in her heart.

"Stop crying, who the hell is bullying you, you tell mother, mother will definitely seek justice for you." Mrs. Xu third was distressed, coaxing warmly.

"Mother, they are all cousins..." Xu Ru sniffed and explained the matter in detail.

"...So that's the case." Mrs. Xu sighed after hearing this.

"Mother, you must make the decision for your daughter. Daughter... My daughter likes cousin and wants to marry him." Xu Ru blushed and said in a coquettish voice.

"Quickly shut up, I'm really not ashamed to say that." Third Mrs. Xu feigned anger and scolded her daughter.

"Daughters only talk like this in front of mother." Xu Ru leaned on her mother's arms and said softly.

"Sister Ru...do you really want to marry into the Lu family?" Mrs. Xu asked solemnly, stroking her daughter's shoulder.

"Mother thinks the Lu family is not good?" Xu Ru raised her eyes and asked suspiciously, hearing the heaviness and vague displeasure in her mother's words.

"This time, if it wasn't your father's intention, I didn't want you to go to Tongcheng together." Mrs. Xu San was silent for a while, then said lightly.

Xu Ru was stunned for a moment, and then heard her mother continue to say: "I wanted to find a marriage for you in the capital, but before I could see each other, the family sent all the girls to Tongcheng."

"Could it be that the third sister's marriage..." Xu Ru asked in a low voice.

"It was a good marriage that I chose after a lot of effort." Mrs. Xu did not hide it from her daughter.

"But how did I hear..." Xu Ru was embarrassed to say it clearly, but she heard vaguely mentioned by her cousins ​​that the marriage chosen by her mother for the third sister was a good-looking one on the surface, but she wanted to rub the third sister in secret.

It was even to prevent Xu Fu from competing with her for the marriage of the Lu family, so the mother hastily engaged the third sister.

"Your sisters, except for Xu Lan and Xu Qian, were all adopted by your aunt and second aunt." Mrs. Xu San shook her head and said with contempt.

Xu Ru was not surprised. After all, Xu Lan and Xu Qian were daughters-in-law, so how could the aunt not care about teaching them.

As for Xu Xin in the second room, the second uncle is a concubine himself, and the second aunt is not a noble girl, so the upbringing of Xu Xin is naturally not as meticulous as that of the eldest and third rooms.

Therefore, for Third Mrs. Xu, except for the first wife's daughter and her own daughter, other girls from the Xu family are out of her sight.

Even Xu Fu, who was taught by her carefully, made her look away.

Sure enough, he is a lowly bastard from a concubine, and his bones are broken, so it would be a waste of effort to train him again.

Third Mrs. Xu pulled back her thoughts and said earnestly, "Sister Ru, the Lu family is not a good match. Since you are back, don't worry about the Lu family anymore. Just stay at home obediently."

"Mother, why? Didn't you also agree with it at the beginning?" Xu Ru was puzzled, and asked the third lady's sleeve.

"...It was at the beginning, but it's different now. Sister Ru is good and obedient." Mrs. Xu did not explain, and almost forcefully sent Xu Ru back to her courtyard. ...

******

After Bai Heng entered Beijing, he did not enter the palace immediately, but went to the Bai family's mansion in the capital.

Lu Qi naturally lived with him.

After the two settled down, the father-in-law from the palace came to the door.

The father-in-law came with the prince's handbook, which clearly stated that Bai Heng and Lu Qi would enter the palace immediately the next day.

After Bai Heng and Lu Qi received the order, and respectfully sent the father-in-law out, Lu Qi said: "It seems that the Holy Majesty's health is not optimistic, otherwise His Highness would not be so nervous."

"Left and right came to Beijing because of His Majesty's illness, so it's better to enter the palace earlier." Bai Heng said.

Early the next morning, Bai Heng and Lu Qi brought people into the palace.

After the two left, the Xu family who got the news of Lu Qi's entry to Beijing also sent people.

It's just that the Xu family was a step late. After finding the Bai family's house, they found out that both Bai Heng and Lu Qi had been called into the palace. ...

in the palace.

After Bai Heng and Lu Qi entered the palace, eunuchs from His Royal Highness' palace came to lead the way.

Because he heard that Lu Qi had inconvenient legs and feet, His Royal Highness also allowed the two of them to take a sedan chair.

The two of them wandered all the way to the East Palace in a sedan chair. His Highness the Crown Prince was already waiting in the main hall, and when they entered the back hall, they naturally saluted and greeted them.

Prince Xiao Qi sat on the main seat, waved his hands faintly and called out, he looked at Bai Heng, and said with a little anxiety in his tone: "Little Doctor Bai, Father's body is going to trouble you."

"If you go back to Your Highness, the grass people will definitely do their best." Bai Heng cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Xiao Qi nodded, and immediately sent someone to take Bai Heng to diagnose and treat His Majesty.

Lu Qi, who was left behind, sat in a wheelchair and stared at Xiao Qi, speechless.

"Ahem, long time no see, Lu Qi, your legs and feet are broken again?" Xiao Qi cleared his throat and asked dryly.

"His Royal Highness misses you, Caomin's legs and feet are very good." Lu Qi twitched the corners of his mouth and said angrily.

"Then why are you still sitting in a wheelchair?" Xiao Qi asked suspiciously.

"..."

"Oh, Gu knows, it's just that I have a hard time, that's enough, I don't ask Gu." Xiao Qi nodded, waved his hands and said magnanimously.

"... Thank you, Your Highness." The corners of Lu Qi's mouth twitched, looking at Xiao Qi who was sitting on it, he really felt a sigh that is not what it used to be.

Thinking back when he first met Xiao Qi, the other party was just a pitiful little boy in a wheelchair, but now the other party has transformed into a noble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.
