Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Lin Xi didn't go to the Baijia Academy today, but went straight back to Lanyuexuan when she arrived at the Hou Mansion.

In the main hall, Zhou's mother waited with the maids and women of Lanyuexuan. Except for Tuanyuanyuan, the rest of the maids were trembling, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

In the hall, Ji Xiang was already tied up and knelt on the ground, with a sweat towel stuffed in her mouth, and two guards stood beside her.

Lin Xi walked in unhurriedly, sat down, took the round tea bowl, took a sip to catch her breath, and then raised her eyes to condescendingly look at the auspiciousness on the ground.

Even though this girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old sealed her mouth and couldn't speak, her eyes were full of resentment and a trace of fear.

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, said nothing, but sipped tea leisurely, thanks to the blessing of the eldest son, it was a tribute, and the aftertaste was naturally sweet.

The whole hall was silent. Ruyi, who was in the same room with Jixiang, looked at Lin Xi with a look of anxiety on her face, and looked at Jixiang who was struggling and unwilling, and was even more worried. She bit her lip and was about to speak, but was suddenly caught by the person in front of her. Yuanyuan glanced sideways, was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head.

She couldn't protect herself, how could she intercede for her.

Mother Zhou stood beside Lin Xi with a solemn expression, her eyes glanced at a group of maids and maids, causing everyone to bow their heads.

The surroundings are too quiet, the quietness that can be heard from falling needles makes Jixiang's hostility gradually quiet down, under the oppressive feeling of quietness, at some point, cold sweat left on his temples, he was in a daze, as if he had figured something out, and his resentful eyes were lax Condensed into begging, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly whimpered a few times, as if she couldn't bear it.

Lin Xi looked at her, and suddenly smiled, "Since I'm not familiar with raising her, I won't raise it anymore, Mama Zhou, go to Chongjintang and ask Mama Ren to come over."

He didn't beat or scold him, and he still had a smile on his face, as usual gentle.

Zhou's mother responded, and went out of the hall. After a while, she invited Ren's mother over, and there were two women with thick and round waists.

Mother Ren glanced, and saw the auspicious bondage on the ground, and Lin Xi in front of the hall looking at her with a smile, so she didn't understand.

With a glance, the two women behind walked up to Ji Xiang's back and stood like a doorpost. Ji Xiang shook his shoulders, raised his head and faltered towards Mama Ren, and one of the women grabbed her hair firmly as soon as she stretched out her hand. Press on the ground.

"Mother Ren, this girl is a servant of the Hou Mansion, she is very clever, but my yard is too small, she may not like it, even so, there is no need to force others to make things difficult, so I asked Mother Ren to take her back to find another job Just do it."

Mother Ren recognized auspiciousness. Her old mother was in charge of the sewing room, and my father was in charge of the farm, so it was relatively important.Lanyuexuan's population is simple, and Lin Xi is easy to serve. Coming here to live a leisurely life as a maid is far away from the right and wrong of the Hou's mansion.When she was choosing a maid, her mother had said a lot of good things before entrusting Mother Ren to send her to Lanyue Xuan, but now it's a good thing, and she had a bad idea first.

If you don't know your blessings when you are in the blessings, you can't blame others.

Mother Ren's face was also burning hot, she gave Ji Xiang a stern look, then smiled apologetically, "Master Biao is too kind, there is nothing to say about killing a girl who is eating and drinking like this."

Lin Xi smiled, did not speak, but picked up the tea instead.

Mother Ren sneered a few times, and said no more when she saw that there was no room for maneuver.

She knows how much Madam Tai loves her grandson.Lin Xi directly asked her to go back, no matter who was standing behind her, Mrs. Tai's anger would probably be the end of this girl.

With a hateful and pitiful look for the last time, Mother Ren waved her handkerchief, and the two wives immediately grabbed Ji Xiang and dragged her out, so far they haven't given her a chance to speak.

Naively thought that after leaving Lanyuexuan, she would be able to return to the Hou Mansion and still be a carefree maid, as before, and still have a little girl to serve her, but she didn't know that once she was abandoned by the master and returned to the distance, what would happen to her in her life? That's it.

Regardless of whether her old lady has a place in the housekeeper or not, after all, she is just a family child, and it is up to the master to kill and sell her.

It seemed that she only realized her impending fate at this time. Jixiang struggled suddenly. The strength she didn't know where it came from was really pushed away by her. She knelt down in front of Lin Xi with a plop, kowtowed hard, and hit the ground with a bang, bang, bang, There was pleading in the eyes that could not speak.

"There's no need to do such a big gift. I don't like being forced by others. If you want to go somewhere else, then go." Lin Xi said very gently, then swept around lightly, and asked sincerely again, "If there is anyone else? Thinking of a good place, don't worry, I will let her go together."

Really benevolent and kind.

But it frightened the remaining maidservants to kneel down and beg for mercy, expressing their loyalty again and again.A loyal servant does not serve two masters. Some people don't understand it, but others are clear about it.

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, not without regrets in her heart. To be honest, it is enough to have reunion sisters around her, but it is better to have no maids with ulterior motives and double intentions.

Like auspiciousness, there were also one or two maids and mothers-in-law who invited Mama Lu over, and also brought them back.

After these people left Lanyuexuan, no one knew what to do with them.

But only knew that no one saw Jixiang again the next day.

Even the one in Meijingyuan was grounded, Mrs. Tai sent Mother Qi to reprimand her for the first time, and Mrs. Liu used an extra bowl of rice that day.

Lanyuexuan was cleaned up and down in an instant. It leaked like a sieve before, but now it's not an iron bucket, and it's not easy for anyone to pry into the news.

Let's talk about Zhao Yuanrong.

In front of Lao Tzu Zhao Jingyi, this prince pouts his lips, cries, yells, rolls around and doesn't give face, but in front of Lin Xi, he is obedient, obedient, coquettish, cuddly and clingy. Now that he enters the palace, he is pretending to be clever and obedient when he enters the palace. .

It's hard for this child to change so much.

Lai Gonggong personally welcomed Zhao Yuanrong into the imperial study.

"Rong'er is here."

Emperor Xia Jing had a rare free time and was practicing big characters.

"Rong'er has seen Uncle Huang."

Zhao Yuanrong knelt down to meet him steadily, his voice was clear and loud, and he raised his head with a big smile.

"Why are you so polite, the ground is getting cooler, Rong'er, come to Grandpa Uncle." Emperor Xia Jing smiled and waved to Zhao Yuanrong, looking amiable.

Before his father-in-law came to help him, Zhao Yuanrong stood up refreshingly and walked to Emperor Xia Jing.

Touching his head, Emperor Xia Jing pointed to the big characters on the table and asked, "Can Rong'er recognize what I wrote?"

"Recognized, God rewards hard work."

"Do you know its meaning?"

Zhao Yuanrong nodded confidently.

"That's rare, tell me." Emperor Xia Jing took the teacup from his father-in-law and asked.

"God will only favor those who work hard, and only if you are well prepared can you seize the opportunity and succeed."

"Not bad, some insights."

"Grandpa Huang has won the award." Zhao Yuanrong rubbed the back of his head and smiled shyly.

Emperor Xia Jing laughed loudly, hugged Zhao Yuanrong, and said to Eunuch Lai, "Go and get some snacks, I remember that Rong'er likes Poria cocos cake."

Zhao Yuanrong put his arms around Xia Jingdi's neck and bent his eyebrows. He didn't say that he didn't like this kind of pastry very much, but tilted his head and whispered into Xia Jingdi's ear, "Didn't the grandpa ask Ronger to come to the Ninth Prince?" Uncle as a companion? What about others? Rong’er has never seen it before.”

Emperor Xia Jing laughed twice, turned his head and ordered: "Go and call the Ninth Prince."

The father-in-law came back with a smile.

Emperor Xia Jing hugged Zhao Yuanrong and sat back on the dragon chair to talk.

"Your father, Wang, is good at wielding knives and guns, but he is not good at dancing with writing and ink. The master of Chongwenguan loved and hated him back then, but now he is still bitter about him. But Rong'er is so smart and studious, I think he will be loved by his master." , I am very pleased to have learned real knowledge."

Zhao Yuanrong pouted and said: "It's just that Rong'er also wants to fight the enemy like the father, and defend the frontier for the uncle, but the big villain father said that I am too delicate and weak to practice martial arts, so he just refused to teach me."

"You, it is my greatest comfort to take care of your body and live a long life."

The father-in-law came again and again, the little maid at the back brought stacks of exquisite snacks, and Emperor Xia Jing gave Zhao Yuanrong a piece of tuckahoe cake.

Zhao Yuanrong took it, put it in his mouth, and ate it slowly. He was very gentle and elegant, but gradually he had the shadow of his cousin.

After eating, he took the maid's handkerchief to wipe his hands, Zhao Yuanrong grabbed Xia Jingdi's sleeve and asked: "I heard that I was reading with the prince's uncle, but I didn't do well, so I have to beat my hand, right?"

When Zhao Jingyu walked into the imperial study room, he just heard the crisp voice of a young child coming from inside. He paused subconsciously, and then heard Emperor Xia Jing say: "Nonsense, Rong'er Jinggui, who dares to hit your hand, tell me He must be dismissed from his position, but he is just looking for a playmate for you, don’t take it seriously.”

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince seeks an audience."

The eunuch standing at the door sang loudly.

Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to go in and kneel down to pay his respects, "I pay my respects to my father."

"Get up."

"Thank you, father." Zhao Jingyu got up after respectfully saluting, and when he looked up, he saw a child in plain clothes looking at him curiously. But it is very cute.

This is the companion who suddenly fell from the sky, but who is the companion is unknown, Zhao Jingyu sighed in his heart.

He cupped his hands, "My lord."

"Uncle Jingyu, my name is Rong'er."

Zhao Yuanrong greeted with a smile, but calmly looked at the Ninth Prince who should have disappeared from the palace and suddenly appeared in sight.

It looks a little dark, and the figure is relatively thin. The clothes on the body are newly made, but the color does not match, making the whole person even darker. It can be seen that the maid who is close to her body is new, and she can't take care of it.

It seemed that the previous life was not good, and Zhao Yuanrong had an idea on how to get along with each other in the future.

Zhao Jingyu was a little surprised that this young prince could call out his name directly, even the emperor might not remember it, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

"Uncle Jingyu, I'm younger than you, so you have to take care of me."

Facing such a well-behaved Zhao Yuanrong, Zhao Jingyu couldn't refuse at all. He didn't dare to refuse, so he could only nod his head, "Don't worry, my son."

But he didn't dare to call Zhao Yuanrong's name directly, and it was a bit boring to be strict.

The uncle and nephew were friendly and harmonious, Emperor Xia Jing was in a good mood, and his son seemed to be more pleasing to the eye.

Near noon, people came from Fengci Palace and invited Zhao Yuanrong to Fengci Palace for lunch according to the order of the Empress Dowager.

"The son then resigned." At this time, Zhao Jingyu had never been involved.

When Emperor Xia Jing was about to wave his hand, Zhao Yuanrong said, "Uncle Jingyu, let's go together and accompany Rong'er."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Emperor Xia Jing, who seemed to realize that this son is also a prince, and he should go to the Empress Dowager's Palace for dinner.

"Jingyu, let's go together, it's time to greet the Queen Mother."

"Yes." Zhao Jingyu obeyed the order respectfully, he couldn't see his expression clearly with his lowered head.

In Fengci Palace, the noble concubines and concubines from the two palaces were all laughing and joking with the Queen Mother.

Although both of them fetched water from bamboo baskets, it was all in vain, but they didn't take advantage of each other, so they lived in peace.The laughter is sweet, the witty words are like pearls, and there is a scene of sisterly love.

When Emperor Xia Jing walked into Fengci Palace with his two children, the two of them bowed and bowed to leave.

Before leaving, they all glanced at the profitable fisherman, but to their disappointment and relief, the Ninth Prince was dull and not outstanding, he dared not even look at them when he lowered his head, standing with Zhao Yuanrong, If there is no Prince Zhao who has the style of a prince, who is the companion who is unknown?

The disdainful eyes flashed away, and the two graceful figures left one after the other.

And Zhao Yuanrong looked at the clenched fist of the Ninth Prince for a long while before slowly looking away, and paying his respects to the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother got old, she liked to summon her children and grandchildren to accompany her more often. Zhao Yuanrong's situation was special. The youngest son who left earlier was the only eldest grandson.

"The last time I entered the palace in a hurry and left, I didn't take good care of this old woman. Rong'er, I need to stay longer this time."

Zhao Yuanrong snuggled into the empress dowager's arms, and nodded obediently, "Great-grandmother, Rong'er will study in the palace in the future, and I can come to see you anytime."

"How is your health? Poor thing, I think he is still thin and weak. Tell the kitchen to make sure you get better."

Every time he came here, it was a big tonic. Zhao Yuanrong felt a little helpless when he thought of his cousin's words, and quickly said: "It's much better. My cousin said that he will be cured in two or three years."

The queen mother thought for a while and said: "That boy from the Lin family is indeed very skilled in medicine. The emperor must reward him a lot."

Emperor Xia Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry."

The queen mother pulled Zhao Yuanrong to sit down, and when she looked up, she saw Zhao Jingyu who was silently standing aside, frowning slightly, "This is..."

Zhao Jingyu stepped forward and saluted: "Grandson Jingyu, please greet the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager looked at his face a little confused, and saw Emperor Xia Jing explain: "Jingyu is ranked ninth, and he doesn't see many people in the palace."

Since it was a grandson, she was naturally happy. The queen mother called Zhao Jingyu to her side, looked carefully, and asked with a smile, "Which palace is this child's mother and concubine from? Why have I never seen it before?"

Zhao Jingyu stood in front of the Empress Dowager and allowed herself to be scrutinized and stroked. His body was tense, as if he was at a loss, a little happy and a little panicked.

Zhao Yuanrong looked carefully, curled his lips, but heard Emperor Xia Jing sigh, and said: "Jingyu's biological mother is... Concubine Min back then."

In an instant, the joy on the queen mother's face was like a flash in the pan, and she fell down. She let go of her hand and said nothing more.

And Zhao Jingyu's joy all over his body also condensed instantly, and all shattered when he touched it.

At lunch this day, the mother never asked Zhao Jingyu a word.
