"Grandson has met the emperor's grandmother," Zhao Jingyi bowed his head and kowtowed.

Lin Xi followed behind Zhao Jingyi and paid homage to the most honorable woman in the world with him.After the ceremony, he staggered Zhao Jingyi's shoulder and glanced quietly.

The Empress Dowager looks to be about the same age as Mrs. Yongning Houtai. She is wearing a dark palace dress embroidered with brocade patterns, which is not gorgeous. Lin Xi didn't see her face clearly, but it seems to be the tranquility brought by the surrounding palace servants There is a rank, and there is a majesty of the heavenly family, which makes people uneasy and dare not slack off.

Zhao Jingyi joined the military and had hundreds of soldiers in Beijing, all of whom were raised in Prince Rui's Mansion. He had no contact with civil servants, and a large group of rough men. It is rare to see such a handsome young man like Lin Xi, and Zhao Jingyi can bring him to meet him, so it can be seen that he is not Ordinary staff or servants, the Empress Dowager couldn't help taking a second look.

"Student Lin Xi, I have met the Empress Dowager."

Lin Xi held her hands again and bowed to salute gracefully.

Zhao Jingyi didn't wait for the Queen Mother to ask, and said: "Grandmother, you must have heard that Lin Xi is Rong'er's lifesaver."

The queen mother suddenly realized, "Oh, the Ai family knows, someone has said it, I didn't expect to be so young, are you the nephew of Yongninghou?"

Lin Xi smiled slightly, "It's the student."

"Excellent, thanks to you, Rong'er." The Empress Dowager Lu was happy, looked at Lin Xi again, and said to Zhao Jingyi, "Don't treat Jingyi badly."

Zhao Jingyi looked at Lin Xi, with a soft gleam in his eyes, a slight smile on his lips, and then said: "Don't worry, grandma, grandson will not treat you badly."

Lin Xi couldn't help but move his eyes.

Then Zhao Jingyi frowned, disapproval and puzzlement appeared on his resolute face, and he asked, "It's so cold today, why did the imperial grandmother come here in person? If you have something important, just send someone to call your grandson."

Now the Queen Mother remembered the business.

"The Ai family should have come." I saw the queen mother looked around with the support of Princess Jing'an and the female officer, her gaze finally fell on Zhao Jingyi's face, and she said in a deep voice, "The New Year's Day is here, and it should be the house of Heifu." During the busiest time, Ke Ai's family came all the way, the palace was completely desolate, deserted, and there were not many maids in sight, Ai's family didn't believe that this was a prince's mansion, Jingyi, this is not like a home! What if you are fighting outside!"

Speaking of this, the queen mother was even more sad, she let go of the female officer's hand, Zhao Jingyi stepped forward to support her, and only then did she find Princess Jing'an on the other side of the queen mother.

Because of supporting the queen mother, Princess Jing'an just nodded in salute, and Zhao Jingyi also returned the salute.

Princess Jing'an's beautiful eyes just glanced at Zhao Jingyi shyly and then turned away, a slight blush appeared on her face.

But Zhao Jingyi didn't pay attention, because the Queen Mother was holding his hand, and continued with heartache as she walked forward: "You have fought for so many years, and no one is in charge of this mansion. Do you still remember this lake? Back then, there were lotus flowers blooming along the shore of the lake, white and pink, really beautiful..."

"Imperial Grandmother, it's winter now." Zhao Jingyi already understood the Queen Mother's intention, he glanced unnaturally at Lin Xi who was silent behind him, and then interrupted the Queen Mother's memory of the lotus, "If you want to see, summer comes There is."

The queen mother frowned, gave Zhao Jingyi an unhappy look, and continued: "There are still fish, the Ai family remembers raising a large flock, and the red carp will gather up after throwing away the fish food. It's very lively..."

Zhao Jingyi still dismantled the Empress Dowager's platform expressionlessly, and pointed to the waterside pavilion by the Bibo Pool, "The fish are all there, the imperial grandmother wants to see her grandson help you over, and if someone prepares fish food and throws it away, it will still swim up. Rong I just counted the fish in the lake a few days ago, and there are about [-] of them."

Did she come out of the palace in winter to watch fish?The Queen Mother stopped and looked at Zhao Jingyi with a serious face.

Zhao Jingyi sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor's grandmother and grandson know it well."

Seeing the empress dowager's displeased eyes, he quickly said, "It's cold here, why don't the emperor's grandmother come into the room and talk."

The queen mother snorted coldly, but did not move.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly said: "Empress Dowager, look, it's snowing, it doesn't matter if the prince is strong and strong, but the servant girl is no match, I can only ask you to take pity on me."

Princess Jing'an shrank her neck, begged with a pitiful face, blinking her eyes.

Zhao Jingyi gave Princess Jing'an a thankful glance, "It's warm in the room, the princess shouldn't get cold when you come here occasionally, grandma."

Looking at her from both sides, the empress dowager's calm face softened unconsciously, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she raised her chin seriously: "That's fine."

Zhao Jingyi and Princess Jing'an supported the Queen Mother all the way into the main hall of Qiyunxuan.

Standing on the side, Lin Xi quietly looked at the figure of Zhao Jingyi and Princess Jing'an supporting the queen mother to leave, subconsciously frowned, her heart was slightly stagnant, with a sore and astringent taste.

Thin snowflakes suddenly fell on the tip of the nose, and then melted and cooled.

Suddenly the tall figure in front of him turned his head and opened his mouth to him. The handsome face that was always heroic was full of resignation and apology.

Lin Xi was startled, and stood still.

Zhao Jingyi frowned, glanced at the Queen Mother calmly, then turned around and mouthed to Lin Xi obviously.

At this time, Lin Xi came back to her senses, understood the meaning, and nodded.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a servant girl rushing over with a heater in her arms, "It's too cold, young master, take it quickly, don't catch a cold." The servant girl thought for a while and said, "The prince just ordered, it's a servant girl. I was negligent, please forgive me, my lord."

Lin Xi shrank the heater into the cloak, feeling the coldness of the snowy sky suddenly leave.

"Where is the son?"

After entering the room and comforting the queen mother on the couch, Princess Jing'an said: "The queen mother is probably used to the taste of tea made by my servants, please trouble the prince to send someone to take me to the tea room."

"The princess is working hard."

A servant girl came in and saluted Princess Jing'an, "Please come with the servant girl, Princess Jing'an."

When the two figures left, the queen mother raised her eyes and said, "If you mess around, the emperor will let you mess around! What does it look like in such a huge palace without anyone to preside over it! Can't the royal family marry a wife? In the future, the female relatives will not marry each other." You don’t need to go back and forth? Let’s talk about it, how can your inner courtyard be stable without a mistress? Eunuch Cao can’t help you with all the big and small things. He’s worked hard all his life, so it’s time to rest, right?”

Zhao Jingyi stood in front of the Empress Dowager with hands down, with a calm expression, "Six years of filial piety for my father, queen mother and concubine, this is my grandson's promise in public, and I will definitely do it. Besides, my grandson still remembers what happened four years ago. Unforgettable. Although everyone said that Yao Shi was poisonous and Xiao Shi was crazy, but in the end it was the fault of his grandson, who gave Yao Shi delusions and left Xiao Shihan in the cold. There is no longer any expectation for my daughter and grandson.”

When it came to keeping filial piety for the youngest son and daughter-in-law, the queen mother was quite distressed and nodded.But when it comes to the appalling incident four years ago, which has been talked about after dinner, it just poked the Empress Dowager's heart.

And look at what Zhao Jingyi meant, it wasn't that he couldn't forget Xiao Jinping, but that he was afraid of these women who were soft on the outside and poisonous on the inside.

How does this work!

The queen mother was stunned, "Jingyi, what do you mean? Could it be that you hate women?"

Zhao Jingyi nodded, seemingly no longer trying to hide it, disgust emerged in his eyes, sharp brows frowned together with a hint of chill, "Grandson went out to fight, but he came home dead or wounded, so he made up his mind to interrogate him, but found that usually The more innocent and delicate the woman is, the more ruthless she is. The grandson shudders when he thinks of this scheming and tricks, because he thinks that the hidden arrows on the battlefield are more open and honest than these inner houses. The grandson is... Scared."

The last two words contain too much sadness and helplessness, as if they contain a heavy burden.

The Queen Mother clutched her chest, almost suffocating, the reason was so simple.

But this is not right, she stood up, held Zhao Jingyi's hand tightly and said: "Jingyi, there are thousands of women in the world, but not all of them are like this. At the beginning, the Ai family and the emperor made a mistake and chose these two. I'll give you a girl, this time Aijia will never be hasty, and will definitely test the school's moral character."

"Grandma..."

"Look at Jing'an. The Ai family looked at her coldly for two months. Her words and deeds are all inappropriate. You saw it just now. She generally knows how to share your worries. She has a proper status and admires you. If you get married in the future, you will definitely love her." For your sake. You have also been together for two years in the western region, and you should know her character well."

No wonder Princess Jing'an would accompany the Queen Mother here, Zhao Jingyi is not a piece of wood, he naturally knows what Princess Jing'an thinks of him, so in the western region he has never had any intention of being close to Princess Jing'an, and even rarely met alone.

His Mr. Lin occupies a lot of space, and there is no room for her in his heart.

"Grandmother, Princess Jing'an is very nice, but I don't like her, as long as she is a woman and grandchildren. When I think of Rong'er lying on the bed dying, I will never marry any woman."

This was the first time that Zhao Jingyi uttered words of refusal in front of the Queen Mother so resolutely, without any intention of discussing.

As long as it is a woman, he will not marry!

Can you still marry a man?

This ridiculous thought was thrown to the back of her mind in a flash, the empress dowager was only left with guilt for her son and grandson, her eyes were red, and tears just fell down.

Zhao Jingyi was startled for a moment, then knelt down straight.

He said in a hoarse voice, "The grandson is not filial."

The Queen Mother immediately burst into tears, "What can you do, Rong'er is still young, so it's possible that you are the only son in this life..."

"One is enough. Teach it well, it's better than anything else. My father and king only have me as a son." After finishing speaking, Zhao Jingyi bowed down and bowed, "Grandmother, please help me!"

The Queen Mother suddenly sobbed and cried.

When Lin Xi brought Zhao Yuanrong over, she saw Princess Jing'an standing in the porch holding a tea tray, her eyes were deep, her brows were slightly frowned, and she was worried, and she didn't know how long she stood there.

When Lin Xi walked in, her eyes followed, and then she paused for a moment on Lin Xi's and Zhao Yuanrong's holding hands.

Lin Xi let go of Zhao Yuanrong's hand, bowed his hands in salute, "Princess."

Princess Jing'an bowed gracefully, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin, the prince is talking to the Queen Mother, if your Majesty doesn't mind, why not wait here for a while."

Lin Xi looked down at Zhao Yuanrong, who nodded.

Lin Xi said to Princess Jing'an: "Then I will disturb the princess."
