Didn't Love You Enough

In the Xue family mansion, Xue Rong, Xue Rong's son Xue Zhichao, Xue Gui, Xue Song and others gathered together.Regarding Xue Zhiqi's death, the Xue family has been investigating for a long time, but they have not found any clues.Xue Gui left unwillingly, Xue Rong seemed to have aged several years when seeing his younger brother Xue Gui leaving, the loss of his son-in-law was really a big blow to his younger brother Xue Gui.

Xue Rong sighed, "In the days to come, I must urge the nephews in the family to restrain themselves and stop ostentatiously outside. I always feel that storms are coming..."

"Father, you mean..." Xue Zhichao was also silent.

"Zhi Chao, go and write a letter to His Royal Highness King Li to see if you can send the two grandchildren to Licheng..." King Li is the last retreat for the Xue family, and Xue Rong knows that the emperor will liquidate them sooner or later Xue's.No emperor would tolerate the existence of such a family that had been against him before, and now the Xue family was gone.The emperor's throne has been stabilized, and he has such an outstanding prince.Xue Rong understood in his heart that there was no hope for King Li, and King Li was also the son of the former emperor. As long as King Li made no mistakes and only remained an idle prince, the emperor would not and would not be able to kill them all...

"No. Father, I will write a letter to His Highness King Li right now."

At Li Wang's mansion, Li Wang Xuanyuan Zhaohong was checking the letters sent by Kuai Ma from the capital.Looking at the letter sent by Xue Rong and the others, requesting to send his grandson to Licheng, Xuanyuan Zhaohong sneered in his heart: "This Xue Rong is getting more and more timid..."

Xuanyuan Zhaohong continued to read, when he saw the news in the letter that the crown prince favored a servant with two sons, and the news that the crown princess was ill in bed and could not be seen.Xuanyuan Zhaohong's brows were tightly furrowed, and it seemed that something was a little strange... Thinking of the secret between him and Xue Caiyu...

Xuanyuan Zhaohong hadn't contacted Xue Caiyu for a long time, and recently he was going to send someone to send some medicinal powder of raccoon flowers.But the flowering period of Huanhuacao is very short, and he is sending people to collect it now.

Xuanyuan Zhaohong recruited his confidants and ordered them to go to the capital first, to meet with the spies in the Crown Prince's East Palace, to check what happened to the Crown Princess, whether she was really ill or...

After Xue Zhiqi's death was unknown, the most painful thing was Xue Zhiqi's mother Zhao.The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, so Mrs. Zhao invited her confidantes to discuss...

Zhang Yingxiang got his father's orders, and at first he obediently obeyed, but he couldn't get bored after a long time.Zhang Yingxiang saw that the past few days had been peaceful, the Xue family asked him twice and no one came again.

Zhang Yingxiang quietly slipped out of the mansion and went to a restaurant to drink tea, a few days passed, and nothing happened.Zhang Yingxiang gradually didn't take it seriously, and continued to have fun with some cronies.

That night, Zhang Yingxiang came out of the brothel. As soon as he reached the corner of the street, he was put in a sack and beat him hard... Zhang Yingxiang felt his eyes go dark, and then he was beaten with dense sticks, which made him hurt. Gotta make a sound.In particular, he felt that he had been punched so many times in his legs that he had to curl up and roll on the ground in pain.

Xue Gui rushed over angrily and questioned Zhao, "Did you make Zhang Yingxiang? I told you that Zhiqi's death had nothing to do with the Zhang family..."

"So what, he was obviously asked to follow our Zhiqi, but our Zhiqi died, but he was fine. I didn't let him pay for my son's life..." Zhao was almost crazy.

"It's simply unreasonable, you're like this...what would Zhang Jihe think if he knew..." Xue Gui thought that Zhang Jihe had been with him for more than [-] years, and knew many of his secrets.Mrs. Zhao has gone crazy, and the other concubines in the family can hardly be responsible.Fortunately, he had an illegitimate child in the early years, but now he is a good child...

Zhang Jihe stayed alone in the study with a heavy expression on his face.I thought of my son lying on the bed unable to move.Zhang Yingxiang's hamstrings were completely broken. Thinking of his son who might not be able to walk in the future, Zhang Jihe hated him very much, and kept struggling in his heart.

Suddenly the window was blown open by a gust of wind, and a man in black came in, Zhang Jihe was startled.

The man in black gave Zhang Jihe a medicine box and said, "His Royal Highness said that your son will need this."

Seeing that Zhang Jihe accepted it, the man in black jumped into the night and disappeared without waiting for him to say anything.Zhang Jihe excitedly took the medicine box, opened it, and saw that the ointment inside was crystal clear and glowing with green light, and a scent of medicine rushed to his face.Thinking that his son's leg should be saved, Zhang Jihe held the medicine box tightly and secretly made up his mind...

Half a month later, Xuanyuan Zhaohong found out that the person he sent had disappeared, so he knew that something was wrong... Prince Xuanyuan Hancheng must have known about Huanhuacao.And the crown prince's illness must have been caused by the crown prince.

Xuanyuan Zhaohong invited his confidants to discuss for a long time, and finally Xuanyuan Zhaohong decided to take a preemptive gamble...

As soon as the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month passes, the Chinese New Year officially kicks off.The period between the small year and the new year is called "busy year", and the prince's East Palace received many tributes from his subordinates and officials.The tribute items are mainly wild animals and rare objects from various places.Qiu Nanny also sorted out one by one and made a book for His Royal Highness to review, and then put them into the treasury.

Xuanyuan Hancheng also intentionally let Lin Jiabao participate in understanding all these, and after that, the rewards to be given to the courtiers during the Spring Festival will also be handed over to Jiabao.In this way, Jiabao's status was virtually improved, making Lin Jiabao look up to everyone at home and abroad.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, red lanterns will be hung in the palace, and the inside and outside of the palace must be cleaned up. On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, door gods and couplets will be hung.A few days before New Year's Eve, window grilles and blessing characters will be pasted in the palace.

Lin Jiabao gave Yuan Qing, Shu Ya and Shu Qin the blessings he wrote.From a palace man waiting to be rewarded in the past, he has now become a nobleman who can give rewards to others.

On New Year's Eve, a royal family banquet is held in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.Only the emperor, empress, prince, princess and concubines of the harem attended the New Year's Eve banquet.Xuanyuan Hancheng naturally took Lin Jiabao there.

Lin Jiabao looked very festive in his dark red embroidered clothes, Xuanyuan Hancheng held Jiabao's hand tightly: "Don't be nervous, baby."

Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao to greet his father and queen mother.After that, he took Lin Jiabao to a seat very naturally, and let Jiabao sit beside him.

For a moment, Lin Jiabao's eyes were focused, and the Crown Princess was always next to His Highness the Crown Prince.Now that the Crown Princess is ill, His Royal Highness actually asked a servant with two children to sit down in a grand manner.Everyone in the Palace of Preserving Harmony couldn't help but look sideways.

Lin Jiabao also appeared in front of everyone in the harem for the first time, which aroused the curious attention of many people.Everyone is guessing how this Shuang'er, who is not as beautiful as the rumors say, won the favor of His Royal Highness...

The seats for the banquet were divided into east and west sides. The emperor and the queen sat on top. The crown prince Xuanyuan Hancheng was at the front in the east, followed by the second prince Xuanyuan Hanqi, then the third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince, and finally the princess.Sitting in the front position on the west side were the concubines, who were more respectable in front of the emperor, and then sitting in the back were the nobles and the concubines of His Royal Highness the Prince.Because now only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is married, and the other four princes have no female relatives to attend.

Yu Shi and Song Shi sat very far behind, Song Shi didn't feel anything, but Yu Shi was different.Yu Qin twisted the handkerchief in her hand, feeling extremely jealous.Why can that Shuang'er sit next to His Highness the Crown Prince...

The emperor and empress naturally saw the prince's actions, but neither of them seemed to realize that it was a violation of the rules, and chose to laugh without saying a word, as if this was a very normal thing.This made everyone even more curious about Lin Xiaozhu...

The emperor announced the start of the family banquet, and playing music thought of the maids dancing.There are many kinds of dishes on the family banquet, and the singing and dancing performances are also beautifully arranged.It was the first time for Lin Jiabao to participate in such a big banquet, and he burst into admiration in his heart.

Lin Jiabao ate very carefully, paying attention to his movements.Always remind yourself not to make mistakes and embarrass His Royal Highness...

When the dishes were half used up, Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao to toast the emperor and queen.

Emperor Xuanyuan Zhaoshen saw the prince and the pair of servants coming to drink, and drank the prince's toast with a smile.

The queen looked at how the prince treated Lin Jiabao as a treasure, and secretly thought in her heart that she would remind the prince one day.Although it is said that he wants to pamper Lin Xiaoshi exclusively, but the prince's recent behavior has become more and more excessive.

The queen was still very satisfied with Lin Jiabao, she felt that he was well-behaved and sensible, he would not be arrogant because of favors, and his temperament was pure and pleasing.The empress has seen countless people, and it is not easy for Lin Xiaoshi to stay in the palace for two years and then serve as the prince's servant.But after all, she is a twin, and the queen felt that she still had to remind the prince not to be too addicted to fake plays.

After His Royal Highness finished toasting, the other princes and princesses also went forward to drink, and then the concubines.

After drinking for three rounds, the second prince Xuanyuan Hanqi came in front of Xuanyuan Hancheng, "Brother, I respect you..." Xuanyuan Hanqi was already a little drunk, "You must take me with you next time, brother ah……"

Xuanyuan Hancheng smiled and drank with him, "Okay...ok...you have to practice martial arts with your heart to learn the art of war..."

Xuanyuan Hanqi patted his chest and promised loudly, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will definitely... definitely study hard..."

The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince also came to toast to His Highness the Crown Prince. Among them, the eldest was 12 years old and the youngest was only nine years old.Facing this prince and emperor brother, he admired and was in awe at the same time. "Brother Respect..."

After the seizure of the throne when the first emperor was alive, they were taught by their mother and concubine to respect their two eldest brothers and fulfill their duties.They also worshiped the elder brother of the prince with extraordinary martial arts.

Xuanyuan Hancheng cared about their homework first, and then encouraged them: "Study hard in the study room, so that you can share it with your father and serve the empire in the future."

"No." The three imperial brothers were very excited to receive the encouragement from His Royal Highness, and the three of them straightened their chests.

Xuanyuan Hancheng decided not to be wary of the three younger brothers like in his previous life, and just let them be idle princes.In this life, he is ready to train these three younger brothers well, so that he can make full use of their talents in the future to prosper the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

Xuanyuan Hancheng has too many things to accomplish in this life, but in order to spend more and longer time with Jiabao in the future, and in order not to overwork his body, it is of course necessary to find a few more helpers.

After that, some people came to toast. Lin Jiabao also accompanied him and drank a few glasses of water and wine.Fortunately, Xuanyuan Hancheng had the foresight to order Yuan Qing to pour only fruit wine for Jiabao that is not easy to get drunk.

Even so, Lin Jiabao was still overwhelmed with alcohol, his little face was as red as a red apple.

Fireworks were set off at the end of the banquet, and Lin Jiabao was intoxicated watching the dazzling fireworks.Lin Jiabao praised: "It's so beautiful..."

After the banquet, Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao rode back together in a chariot, and the fireworks continued to bloom along the way.

On the chariot Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the baby under the light of fireworks, and looked at Lin Jiabao with tender eyes that spit out water. "Baby, I like you..."

Lin Jiabao's head was a little dizzy, and after hearing Xuanyuan Hancheng's words, he felt as if he was in the clouds. "I also like Xianggong, Jiabao really likes Xianggong...I really like him..."

"My dear..." Xuanyuan Hancheng kissed Jiabao tenderly, there was nothing that made him happier than being in love with the baby.

Lin Jiabao fell asleep in Xuanyuan Hancheng's warm and comfortable embrace and gentle kiss...

Xuanyuan Hancheng pressed a kiss on the baby's forehead, pulled up Lin Jiabao's cloak, and held him in his arms, feeling extremely satisfied...
