Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Lin Xi looked at Eunuch Cao who was smiling so much that he was almost eyeless, and felt powerless in his heart. Ever since he came to the capital, there always seemed to be accidents from Prince Rui's Mansion every festive season.

No matter what, Lin Xi could only bend down in front of the dignitaries, "Eunuch Cao wait a moment, after Xi goes to Chongjin Hall to pay his respects, I will follow you to the palace."

What Eunuch Cao likes most is Lin Xi's point, simply, so he gave him a little help, squinted his small eyes and said, "Mr. Lin is not in a hurry, and the miscellaneous family will also go to pay respects to the old lady."

Then there is no need to talk nonsense, just go.

The second time Eunuch Cao of Prince Rui’s Mansion visited the door, the happiest one was Mrs. Liu. As soon as the front door reported, he brought his daughter to the Chongjin Hall after dressing up. Shi and Xiao Jinlan have already arrived.

The faces of the mother and daughter sank together, seeing Xiao Jinlan pretending to be silly to please Mrs. Tai, they sneered in their hearts.

"My granddaughter is not good at being a girl. I wanted to show off a white crane, but I didn't want to end up being a four-faced one. Fortunately, it is still warm. Please don't be disgusted with it, grandma. My granddaughter will practice more in the future."

Xiao Jinlan made a forehead wipe and dedicated it to Mrs. Qi. Mother Qi was helping Mrs. Tai put it on. Her movements were slow and quick, and she praised: "Old lady, look at the modesty of the second lady, servant girl, look at the stitches." It is fine and fine, the color is well chosen, the white crane embroidery looks as if it is about to spread its wings, and it is just right to wear, it shows that the second lady put her heart into it, the old lady is very lucky."

Mrs. Tai couldn't help nodding her head when she heard the words, "Lady Lan's filial piety, the old lady understands, but she has to look carefully, don't get overwhelmed, the daughter's family should be most careful at this time."

Aunt Mei smiled and complimented: "It is the second lady's duty to show filial piety to Mrs. Tai. How can it be hard to talk about it? The second lady also said that she would make a spring shirt for Mrs. Tai in spring. She was afraid that she would not be able to produce it because of poor craftsmanship."

Xiao Jinlan's delicate face flushed immediately, she leaned close to Mrs. Tai and took her hand and said: "As long as grandma likes it, Lan'er will not be tired at all, and she will be happy in her heart. My granddaughter will often make it for you in the future."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Jinxin who entered the room, and the latter's face was even more ugly, but she hadn't given anything yet, and she couldn't get any needles and threads.

As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the room, everyone except Mrs. Tai bowed her head. Mrs. Liu looked at Aunt Mei coldly, "You came early, and I haven't seen you so attentive on weekdays."

After finishing speaking, no matter how wronged Aunt Mei was, I just greeted the old lady.

Mrs. Tai has always ignored the disputes between their wives and concubines, but just nodded to Mrs. Liu. She understands what's on her mind at this moment.

After a while, Lin Xi and Eunuch Cao arrived.

After Lin Xi asked Ann, he chatted with Eunuch Cao a few more words, asked about Zhao Yuanrong's physical condition, and asked Lin Xi to follow Eunuch Cao to the palace early.

She didn't say much about Zhao Jingyi's itinerary, but told Lin Xi: "When you go to the palace, you must be more careful in your words and deeds, don't forget your appearance, and take care of your son."

"Xi'er understands." Lin Xi was taught respectfully.

On the contrary, Eunuch Cao said with a smile: "It's strange that Mr. Lin is so generous and polite, but he doesn't want to be taught by the old lady. Don't worry, the prince has praised him many times, and the son of the world also likes it. Mr. Lin is the most appropriate person." Otherwise, how could the lord think of Mr. Lin in the first place if he couldn't get away today?"

Mrs. Cao's praise made a dragon's claw chrysanthemum appear on Mrs. Tai's face, and she looked at Lin Xi with more kind eyes, "Then let's go."

Lin Xi was about to leave when she heard Liu's voice suddenly, "Eunuch Cao, is the prince not at the residence today?"

Eunuch Cao replied: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the patrol battalion is really busy."

So Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Tai and said, "Mother, today is the Lantern Festival, and the prince is not in the palace. He was busy and couldn't get away. My daughter-in-law has not seen Rong'er for many days. I just want to visit him. How about today..."

When Mrs. Liu said this, the eyes of the two young ladies lit up immediately, and they all looked at Mrs. Tai.

Xiao Jinlan was about to say something, but Aunt Mei behind her pulled her clothes and stopped her mouth.

Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth silently. Even he could clearly see the ulterior motives. It can only be said that the title of Prince and Concubine is too tempting. Even if Zhao Jingyi has a son, there are still many concubines who still cover up Not the fact that he was a radiant aristocratic bachelor.

Lin Xi felt jealous towards this man for a moment.

Madam Tai then looked at Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Cao's expression didn't change at all, his smile was still bright, but he cupped his hands and said to Madam Tai: "Today's festive season, your house is full of excitement, and you can still go to the lantern festival at night. It's just that the palace is still in filial piety, and it's a little deserted. It's inconvenient for the prince to entertain his wife when he has something important to do. If it weren't for Mr. Lin who was also observing filial piety, there would be no conflict. That's why he ordered the miscellaneous family to invite him. It's only natural that the son appreciates face good."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai still didn't understand, so she said lightly: "Let's choose another time. If you have something to send to your son, let Xi'er take it there."

Mrs. Tai spoke, although she was unwilling, but she also rested her mind.

At this time, Xiao Jinlan suddenly stood up and blessed Lin Xi, "Then please wait a moment, my cousin, I made a lantern yesterday, which is quite elegant, please pass it on to your son."

"Second cousin, don't worry." Lin Xi returned the salute.

Unexpectedly, he heard a low sneer, but saw Xiao Jinxin looking at the two of them meaningfully.

Lin Xi suddenly thought of Mrs. Tai's intention to marry Xiao Jinlan to him, and Xiao Jinlan was not ignorant of the same, so she raised her head and gave him a hard look when she was not paying attention, how could she be weak and considerate? The appearance is almost admonishing "less daydreaming".

Lin Xi has always respected me one foot, and I respected you one foot, so she immediately returned her with an extremely shy and shy smile, which seemed to be a little bit happy, as if she was happy to be favored by her cousin. Xiao Jinlan was dumbfounded, looking around, all she saw was the kind of "we all understand, we all understand, the relationship is really good" eyes, only Aunt Mei looked at her with a frown, and she almost fell on her back in anger.

Tightening the veil tightly, biting her silver teeth, Xiao Jinlan resisted the urge to go up and tear Lin Xi's face, and immediately ordered her maid to go back to the room to get the lantern when she couldn't even say thank you.

Xiao Jinlan said that, as the future hostess of Prince Rui's Mansion accepted by the entire Yongning Hou Mansion, Xiao Jinxin sent an extremely delicate lotus lantern and other gadgets even though she was not prepared.

So Lin Xi followed Eunuch Cao to Prince Rui's Mansion with gifts from Yongning Hou Mansion and two cousins.

Lin Xi didn't step out of the gate again after returning to Yongning Hou's Mansion, and now she saw that the street was already bustling with activity, preparing for the evening lantern festival.However, the security has become more stringent. Before running a few streets, several teams of guards and soldiers have been seen running past in uniform, but the livery does not look like the same uniform.

As if knowing that Lin Xi was puzzled, Eunuch Cao explained: "The people who passed by just now were from the patrol battalion, and now they are led by the prince. Before that, they were the soldiers and horses of the five cities. It seems that the livery should come from the east city. Every year during the Lantern Festival , if we don’t send more people, there will always be various situations.”

Lin Xi nodded, just looking at these solemn soldiers, he always felt that it would be too nervous to just maintain law and order, but he had never participated in the Lantern Festival in the capital, so it was hard to judge.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, it stopped, the door opened, and saw that familiar cold face.

"My lord." Lin Xi bowed his head.

Zhao Jingyi was wearing a big cloak and sitting on a steed. Because she didn't wear a crown in Xiaozhong, her hair was tied high with a plain ribbon, and her whole body was as solid as a mountain.The twelve guards around were also wearing black cloaks, their faces couldn't be seen clearly, they just surrounded Zhao Jingyi quietly.

Zhao Jingyi seemed to be about to go out, when he saw Lin Xi, he immediately stepped forward with a low voice.

"Mr. Lin, my son asks you to take more care."

Lin Xi replied: "My lord, don't worry, the grass people should try their best to take good care of your son."

After the two of them finished speaking, Zhao Jingyi turned his horse's head to get out of the way, and left after Lin Xi's carriage entered the palace.

Lin Xi walked into Qiyunxuan, Yuanyuan behind him took off his cloak, and then followed Eunuch Cao into the inner room.

Zhao Yuanrong was waiting eagerly, his eyes lit up the moment he saw Lin Xi.

"Uncle."

The crisp voice was like spring wind and rain, and Lin Xi was fixed in place. After digesting for a long time, he finally figured out the relationship.

Speaking of which, Zhao Jingyi is still his cousin's husband... However, thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but bristle all over her body, and quickly shook her head to shake off this strange emotion.

The son can be called that to show intimacy, but he can't treat the prince's son as a junior, so he saluted vaguely, "My son."

Zhao Yuanrong was like a cockfight to his father, but he liked the pioneers of cat and mouse very much. He quickly took Lin Xi's hand to a small study next door.

Gu's mother quickly followed, and called out behind her: "Master, slow down, be careful not to fall."

But Eunuch Cao called people in to serve the ancestor, and ordered people to add water and charcoal basins before going out with peace of mind.

Although the study is small, it has all internal organs. Lin Xi looked around and was attracted by the paintings on the desk.

It's all cat and mouse...

Most of them are his sketches, and some of them are copied. The lines are immature, with trembling and broken lines, which are obviously written by a child.

The desk was messy, and his masterpieces were spread out conspicuously on it. When Lin Xi was watching with interest, Zhao Yuanrong blushed a little bit embarrassed, and quickly pressed down his little claws to cover it up. He still stubbornly raised his head to look at Lin Xi. .

But in the same way, Lin Xi could still see clearly through the cracks in his fingers. Under this situation, he suddenly asked in a strange way: "Your Majesty, do you want to learn?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Xi was taken aback, and Zhao Yuanrong's small face was also surprised, and then his eyes gradually brightened, trying to suppress his joy, he raised his chin, and asked calmly, "Biao uncle wants to teach me? "

After being surprised, Lin Xi calmed down and asked again with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to learn?"

Zhao Yuanrong hesitated for a moment, but nodded lightly, thinking about it.

Now this Lantern Festival is something to do.

"Well, it doesn't matter what it is. The grass-roots will try their best to teach, and the son will study hard. Let's take it easy and mainly talk about fun."

Lin Xi walked to the desk, and Zhao Yuanrong hurriedly put away the drawings on the desk, but Gu's mother wanted to help but was pushed away by him, these treasures of his were even Zhao Jingyi's son's cold face if she wanted to touch them.

However, other people have never done this kind of work in a high position, and did not ask Mama Gu to help, so it was slow and unwieldy to clean up.

It took a long time to heal, and Mother Gu was anxious beside her, but she was stared at by Zhao Yuanrong when she moved a little, so she could only stare at Lin Xi with grievances.

Lin Xi saw that Zhao Yuanrong was stacking one by one with his small hands. The plots of the story were all practiced into strings, and the corners were flattened. He didn't intervene, but slowly thought about the next plot.

The cat and the mouse are connected by a series of short stories. The memory in Lin Xi's stomach has almost been emptied. After finally remembering some things that are not needed in this era, he considers whether he should change them.

After tidying up, Lin Xi added water and ink, and began to teach Zhao Yuanrong how to draw cartoons.

To be honest, he is only half a bottle of water when it comes to comics, because he learned ink painting from Lin Qing and added an ink style.The lines of the manga are simple, and there is no need for light or heavy water halo rendering, but it is also easy.

Zhao Yuanrong studied it carefully, and soon he drew some similarities with the master who painted half a bottle of water.

An afternoon passed quickly, and it was enough for Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong to get acquainted. Let go of restraint, Lin Xi rested his chin and watched Zhao Yuanrong draw, "The belly can be rounded, it looks naive."

Without an eraser, Zhao Yuanrong redraws directly.

Serious children always make people feel distressed, thinking that they will suffer from cold syndrome at such an age, and Yuanxiao's father is not at home today, it is embarrassing enough to think about it.

"Today's Lantern Festival, your two aunts each gave you a lantern to play with. Do you want to see it?"

After Zhao Yuanrong finished drawing the outline slowly, he put down his pen and shook his head at Lin Xi. Thinking of Zhao Jingyi's missed appointment, his eyes darkened.

This is not possible, Lin Xi suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Let's do it ourselves, er, just be a cat and a mouse, choose a few paintings and connect them together to make a story, and turn around with a lantern to connect the end to the end. The prince will paint, and I will color it, how about it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanrong's eyes lit up. He had thought of it a long time ago, but he was not good at drawing. After being ridiculed by Zhao Jingyi, he gave up in shame and indignation. Now that Lin Xi was in charge, he was ready to move again.

"Okay." He nodded emphatically.

"Now let's choose a simple story."
