No matter how much Xiao Yuheng concealed it, it would not last long. Before the palace examination was over, the news spread all over the capital, and the Yongning Hou Mansion was no exception. What's more, there were three officials in the court. Xiao Yunxuan, as the commander of the five cities, made the news even stronger. Well-informed.

Although he is Zhao Jingyi's elder, warriors have always admired the former Generalissimo of the Northwest, and his in-laws were appointed as commanders, so he is even more grateful to Zhao Jingyi.

However, this kind of person is ambiguous with his beloved nephew. When he heard it at first, he was really shocked and angry. Moreover, he went to the market to listen to those jokes, and his remarks were dirty and obscene. Xiao Yunxuan wished to arrest all the talkers. Hang and beat.

He didn't care about the affairs in the yamen, he went back to the mansion directly, and when he walked to the gate, he saw Xiao Yuheng coming back together.

"Fourth Uncle." Seeing his gloomy expression, Xiao Yuheng knew all about Lin Xi.

He was about to say something when he saw the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion rushing over, followed by Mother Ren and some servant girls.

"Fourth Master, Eldest Young Master, it just so happens that this old slave is going to look for you, Mrs. Tai was very angry after hearing some bad rumors."

Don't think those rumors must be about Lin Xi.

The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, seeing a trace of worry in each other's eyes, and then they walked towards Chongjin Hall.

A little girl poked her head behind the wall of the corridor, then turned around and ran away very quickly.

"Three aunts."

At this time, Xiao Jinxin's belly was not small. She took a nap, walked around for a while, and then leaned on the couch to rest. When she heard the movement outside, her eyes moved suddenly, and she got up.

"What's the matter, flustered." She asked pretending to be calm.

The servant girl said softly: "The Fourth Master and the Eldest Young Master are back, and they happened to run into Mama Ren, and they are all going to the old lady's place right now. They don't look good, I'm afraid something happened."

Seemingly knowing everything, Xiao Jinxin's eyes flashed with joy, she lowered her eyes to cover them again, raised her head with doubts and said: "I don't know if it's important or not, I hope nothing will happen."

Just as she was talking, Mama Lu lifted the curtain and came in, holding a food basket in her hand, "My servant saw that the soup was warming in the kitchen. I thought Grandma Sangu would wake up by now, so I brought it here."

"Let the little girl do it, why bother mom to deliver it in person." Xiao Jinxin took it and drank it slowly.

She took a few sips, looked up at Mama Lu, and asked, "What's wrong with Mama, her face is so solemn, but what happened in the house?"

Speaking of this, Lu's mother's expression became even more serious.

Lin Xi's scandal has spread all over the capital, and even the inner house of the Yongning Hou Mansion has heard something, and the whole Hou Mansion has been alarmed.

Thinking of Liu Shi's vainly gloomy, angry and embarrassed face, Mother Lu didn't know how to speak.

At the beginning Xiao Jinxin wanted to marry Zhao Jingyi regardless of face, but Prince Rui's residence didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Yongning Hou's residence, which has become a laughing stock in the capital.But now it's good, the serious lady doesn't want it, Zhao Jingyi directly wants the young master of the Hou's mansion!

When Lin Xi first came here, she fell down when the wind blows weakly. The food and clothing are all meticulous in the Yongning Hou Mansion, protected by the old lady, and looked after by the Lord and the Fourth Lord, from the wife to the young lady, down to the servant girl. Dare to be negligent, even the eldest and young masters have never been treated this way, but they never expected to raise a white-eyed wolf.

Lu's mother looked at Xiao Jinxin at this moment, and her heart ached.

"Mother?"

Xiao Jinxin asked again.

Mother Lu came back to her senses, forced a smile and said, "Third Aunt, grandma can raise her baby with peace of mind. From now on, if you get a boy, you can go back to the Duke's Mansion. The Hou's Mansion is a little chaotic, but it's not easy to walk around. With Lord Hou and Fourth Master here, there will still be big troubles." Young master, nothing will happen, don't ask."

Saying that, he patted her hand and went out.

Xiao Jinxin slowly put away her smile, looked at Mother Lu's back, and slowly showed a smile.

She's having a hard time, Lin Xi, and you shouldn't be having a hard time either.

"Is mother satisfied now? It's really thanks to my good nephew. The concubine of the Hou's mansion can't continue the in-laws of Prince Rui's mansion. His cousin directly stepped forward to replace her. It's really touching. I This aunt really didn't love him in vain, the Yongning Hou Mansion is very famous in this capital!"

Liu's eyes were bloodshot, and with a sneer on his face, he said loudly in Chongjin Hall.

Mrs. Tai raised her eyelids, lowered her eyes full of tiredness and bewilderment, and sat on a chair like a statue, letting Mrs. Liu make noise.

Shan Shi was surprised at first, but also a little bit at a loss for this rumor, she really couldn't believe it was true.Just listening to my sister-in-law talking to Mrs. Tai in this way, but seeing no rebuttal or scolding from Mrs. Tai, I believed it a little, and was disappointed with Lin Xi.

It's just that she could understand Liu's anger, but after listening to a few words, she didn't agree with yelling at the old lady, so she said: "Sister-in-law, rest first, I don't know what happened, maybe It's a misunderstanding, why don't you make a decision after the eldest brother and fourth master come back. Lin Xi is already a Jinshi, and she still has to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, how can she act like this?"

"Hehe, No. [-] Scholar? The candidates are all waiting to go to the palace gate to protest, how can he still pass the exam? It is a grace of the emperor not to punish him! I know how clever you are, and you will definitely pass the exam, but you can't see it." Human deeds. Back then, I was grateful to him for saving Rong’er and taking care of him. It’s not easy for him to be a single man, but I didn’t expect that with this idea, it’s really a good method, easy to measure, and it’s shameless enough to fascinate the prince! From a scholarly family, why is she so shameless? Back then when Xiner told the truth, you still thought she was outspoken and biting at random, how could you have seen it? Who is pretending to be lofty? If you think about it this way, if it wasn't him, Xin I am afraid that my son is now Princess Rui..."

The more Liu spoke, the more excited she became, and she burst into tears, "We just lured a white-eyed wolf in!"

"enough!"

There was only a loud slap on the table, followed by a burst of crackling. Everyone looked up suddenly, but saw the beads scattered all over the floor, and the old lady tore off the bracelet she often wore on her wrist.

"Mother!"

Mrs. Shan exclaimed, seeing that the old lady turned pale, gritted her teeth, slowly raised her head and said, "Go, let Lin Xi come to see me, if he doesn't come, he will never set foot in the Yongning Hou Mansion. "

When Xiao Yunxuan and Xiao Yuheng walked into the Chongjin Hall, they heard these words that seemed to come out stiffly from their jaws, they lightened their steps for a moment and held their breath.

"Hurry up!" Mrs. Tai ordered.

"I'll go." Seeing the old lady's appearance, Xiao Yuheng immediately felt bad, so he volunteered, thinking of saying hello to Lin Xi in advance, so he turned around and left, Liu Shi wanted to stop him before it was too late.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Yongning Hou coming with a person from a distance.

That man's straight back was still like a long spear, and he still moved like the wind, unstoppable. Before he even reached his eyes, he already felt the cold and sharp aura, like a sword.

But Yongninghou tried his best to follow his footsteps, but he seemed stumbling and helpless.

Finally Zhao Jingyi stood in front of Xiao Yuheng, condescending, although the latter tried his best to keep calm and serious, and did not raise his hand to salute, but he softened a bit under his momentum.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the low and unmistakable voice.

"Zhao Jingyi pays homage to the old lady, please excuse me."

Xiao Yuheng was stunned for a while, he couldn't believe his ears, even though Zhao Jingyi's voice was still tough, but he separated a trace of pleading and softness.

This is his lofty and arrogant brother-in-law?

Marquis Yongning coughed lightly and reminded Xiao Yuheng. He came back to his senses and suddenly mustered up the courage to ask, "Did the lord come here for Lin Xi?"

"Correct."

"Is the prince interested in Lin Xi?"

Zhao Jingyi glanced at him, and still said one word, "Yes."

Xiao Yuheng froze for a moment, "Have you ever heard the rumor..."

"I heard. If you have anything else to ask, let's ask together later."

Xiao Yuheng turned around and went inside to report.

Not long after, Liu Shi and Shan Shi came out with the maid, Shan Shi just glanced at it and then bowed and left, while Liu Shi saw that Zhao Jingyi's face turned black and then white, hesitant to speak, but later The latter did not look at her at all.

Liu Shi was disappointed and angry, and left angrily.

The old lady didn't get up to greet her, and even Xiao Yunxuan didn't come out either.

"My lord, please." Xiao Yuheng didn't say much, and Zhao Jingyi walked in without changing his expression.

Mrs. Tai was sitting high in front of the hall, and Xiao Yunxuan was sitting on her right. Seeing Zhao Jingyi, he seemed to move his legs, but he didn't get up in the end.

"Master Hou, please sit down too." Mrs. Tai raised her eyelids and said lightly.

Marquis Yongning hesitated for a moment, he was always cautious or indecisive, when Zhao Jingyi hadn't even sat down, he really didn't have the courage to sit down.

But Zhao Jingyi suddenly turned his face and nodded slightly.

So in a state of anxiety, Marquis Yongning sat down on Mrs. Tai's left, and Xiao Yuheng stood behind him.

After sitting down for a while, Zhao Jingyi immediately stood in front of the hall as if facing a tribunal of three divisions.

A sense of strangeness arose spontaneously in the room, and Mrs. Tai saw Zhao Jingyi's unchanged expression, and for some reason, a stone fell in her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, please sit down."

She pointed to the chair at the end.

Without any objection, Zhao Jingyi lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down very simply.

It can be seen that the seats in this room are not based on official titles and powers, but on the basis of seniority, and everyone present is well-versed in the world, and the key points are understood.

Xiao Yuheng looked at Zhao Jingyi with a complex expression, he couldn't help but think of his eldest sister, even if it was the first time to be a serious son-in-law, she had never seen Zhao Jingyi as the last seat.

It can be seen that his cousin's weight in the prince's heart is not low, and it's not just as simple as being flattered and spoiled.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Tai's expression was somber, she raised her law lines around her mouth, and said nothing, showing her indifferent attitude towards this unexpected guest.

She didn't speak, and the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Jingyi sat calmly, even though the master's house didn't even have a cup of tea, he was still full of grandeur, and his aura should not be underestimated, but suddenly, in this quiet and strange atmosphere, he glanced at Xiao Yunxuan who was opposite him.

Xiao Yunxuan frowned at this glance, he struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally felt that it was better not to tear up his face, so he reluctantly walked up a step and asked calmly: "What is the prince coming here today? "

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Tai's stern eyes flew over, Xiao Yunxuan looked away uncomfortably, and coughed lightly.

Zhao Jingyi rested her hand on the armchair lightly, and said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I finally figured out one thing, so I rushed into the palace three days ago to ask the emperor for orders."

Speaking of this, his eyes seemed to be unintentionally raised, paused on Yongning Hou's face, then turned his eyes and said: "I wonder if you have ever heard that the emperor intends to marry Princess Jing'an to the champion of the current department?"

Mrs. Tai's eyes moved slightly, and finally she looked over.She had heard this news vaguely, and she didn't dare to think about it before, but after Lin Xi passed the Huiyuan exam, she became interested.

Zhao Jingyi pointed at the armchair and said casually: "Unfortunately, this king has asked the emperor to dispel this idea."

Mrs. Tai subconsciously moved the beads on her wrist, but the beads had broken and fell all over the ground, so she had to clenched her fists.

"My king has lived for nearly 30 years, but I have always been ignorant of this relationship." Zhao Jingyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, "But for some reason, the romance with Lin Xi spread all over the place overnight. In the capital, if this king used to be angry, but thanks to these gossips, he actually sees his own mind clearly, so what's the point of asking men and women, if this king likes it, then he can't let go."

Xiao Yuheng clenched his fists tightly, and couldn't suppress the anger on his face. Just like what Zhao Jingyi said, his trip to the palace will cut off Lin Xi's normal life from now on.I thought it was true as the outside world said, Lin Xi was too close to Zhao Jingyi because of intentions, but I didn't expect that it was Zhao Jingyi who was really ambitious.

I really want to beat him up!He was quite irritable.

These fearless and tough words made the hearts of the people present turbulent, but Yongninghou, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly said: "The prince has a heart, and the officials only feel that God's will tricks people, but Lin Xi can't accept it, and the rules of human relations can't accept it." Luan, he still has a long way to go, if the prince really... likes him, let him go."

All he got in exchange was Zhao Jingyi's low-pitched smile.

At this moment, Xiao Yunxuan couldn't sit still. Even if Lin Xi's surname was not Xiao, he was still a nephew of a direct relative, his sister's only Miaomiao, no matter how powerful the other party was, he couldn't let him be bullied!

He sat up straight and said firmly, "My lord, the Xiao family is also a hundred-year-old residence. Although their status is not as noble as yours, you can't do whatever you want."

"Oh, is it?" Zhao Jingyi was not moved at all, but the corner of his mouth raised a hint of sarcasm, and he looked at Mrs. Tai who had been silent until now, "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. Since I'm talking to Lin Xi After thinking about it, I naturally have to think more about him, so I asked someone to check the source of this rumor, where do you think this source comes from?"

The reason for Zhao Jingyi and Lin Xi's close proximity is justified, and there is no overstepping the rules outside, even the people in the Hou's Mansion have not noticed it, so how can outsiders think of this?

Looking at Zhao Jingyi's eyes with sarcasm and coldness on the corner of his mouth, Mrs. Tai suddenly blessed her mind, her heart trembled and her hands trembled.

Zhao Jingyi didn't miss the slightest change in Madam Tai's expression, so she stood up and said loudly but coldly and cruelly: "Madam, please thank your aunt and grandma on behalf of the king."

Zhao Jingyi's last words made Mrs. Tai close her eyes, the joints of her clenched fists turned white, and also shocked the males in the Xiao Mansion.

How did Zhao Jingyi walk into the Chongjin Hall when he came, and he was so calm when he went, with the same expressionless face on his face that looked superior.

"Take this king's name card and call the imperial physician immediately."

He looked back at Chong Jintang, and gave instructions to his side.

As soon as the thunder exploded, Mrs. Tai probably had to slow down for a while. He and Lin Xi had a long way to go. If the old lady got angry, their journey would come to an end.

As for Xiao Jinxin, since she dared to do it back then, she should have thought of the consequences.
