little son-in-law

It has been more than half a month since I came to the capital. Rong Jin originally thought that she would return soon and be summoned by the emperor, and then she would find any reason to be placed under house arrest in the name of recuperation. This is the life of most protons. With mental preparation.

After driving for more than half a month, I arrived in the capital at the beginning of September. The imperial decree arrived just as I arrived at the gate of the city. The imperial decree only rewarded Su Yuanping and Rong Ji for their outstanding achievements in the process of suppressing the chaos. The prince of Jici County immediately received an edict to enter the palace, and the emperor gave him another gift, but at the end of the edict, there was an optional sentence: Let the son of the prince temporarily live in Yuwang's mansion.

It is now the end of September. Shengjing, the capital of Daning, is located in the north, which is not as good as Linyang, which is located in the south. Linyang is still fragrant with sweet-scented osmanthus, and Shengjing is indeed full of sweet-scented osmanthus, but the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

The courtyard where Rong Jin lives now is called Qiushangju. I don’t know if it is to cater to the name. The courtyard has been ingeniously planted with green bamboos, red maples and many rare varieties of chrysanthemums, and even used the hot spring water outside the city to create a beautiful garden. There is a small lake, the middle-aged smog shrouds the surface of the lake, and there are many flowers and trees around the lake. Although the garden is not big, it is exquisite and meticulous. It can be seen that the owner of the garden must love this garden very much, and really put a lot of thought into it.

Prince Yu, Nangong Jiangcheng, is also a well-known hero in Daning. Although he is not from the same mother as the present-day sage, he has a very strong relationship. He is the first royal family member who canonized the title of prince after the sage ascended the throne, and is also a member of the royal family. The rare talent of a general, Lord Yu guarded the northern border all the year round, and Prince Rong, who was stationed in the southern border at that time, was called Daning's "North and South Double Bibi". Like the two strong walls in the north and south of Daning, they guard the safety of Daning.However, this legendary hero died for his country in the war with Beiyuan many years ago. Daning also completely defeated Beiyuan in that year, making Beiyuan country a vassal state of Daning from then on, paying tribute every year, The proton of Beiyuan also lived in Shengjing all the year round. Speaking of the "Beiyuan proton case" that was noisy some time ago, it means that the proton of Beiyuan had his hands and feet cut off in his own prefecture.Although the proton's status is embarrassing, he is looked down upon by others, and he is secretly abused by others, but it is rare for him to be mutilated so blatantly. After all, this is also a matter of the face of the two countries.I heard that Beiyuan used this as an excuse to set up troops on the border several times. I don’t know why in the end, after negotiating with the special envoy sent by the emperor, he chose to quiet down and sent another proton. He talked about this with his father in the study At the time of the incident, the father was so calm and innocent when he mentioned the emperor as usual, and the slightly raised corners of his lips rarely revealed a bit of coldness. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that since then, the father has been preparing for it. Regarding the matter of sending him away, could it be that that incident has something to do with the current situation of Prince Rong's Mansion?

"Brother Rong?" As soon as Nangong Yuanyuan entered the courtyard, she saw the young man sitting in front of the study window. The scroll in his hand had already fallen into the chrysanthemums outside the window, revealing a white arm as white as snow, shining brightly in the sun. Under it, it seems to have a sense of fluorescence.

"Miss San?" Prince Yu married a concubine and a concubine during his lifetime. The concubine had sons, the eldest son Nangong Jingshen, and the second son Nangong Zhiyuan. The concubine Li was originally Prince Yu's personal maid. She was humble and had a daughter, Nangong Yuanyuan, who lived in the concubine Mei's room since she was a child. After the death of Prince Yu, Li also passed away due to excessive grief, and Nangong Yuanyuan officially entered under Mei's name.At this time, Nangong Yuanyuan was still a 13-year-old carefree girl raised in the boudoir of the palace.Since Rong Jin lived here, this lively girl has come to talk to him from time to time. Rong Jin has no sisters since she was a child, but she is happy to see Yuanyuan often come to sit and sit.

"I agreed to call you Yuanyuan, but I've already called you Brother Rong." The girl was dressed in a deep plum red dress, her hair was parted in two strands on each side, and tied with a Liuli Pu Yechan hair accessory, following the girl's beating , Pu Yechan is also flying up and down, very delicate and lovely.

"Yuanyuan." Rong Jin was as good as he was, with a light smile, and his eyes were clear and cloudy in mid-autumn sky.

Nangong Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Yuanyuan?"

"You looked like the emperor's uncle when you laughed just now." His emperor's uncle, the current emperor, is elegant and handsome, and there are few people who can match him. people look directly at.

"Yuanyuan, what are you holding in your hand? Why do I smell a sweet smell?" Rong Jin's lingering eyes withdrew from the faintly red maple tree in the corner.

"Ah? Why did I forget? This is the two-color lotus roll I learned today. Mama Ding and Yuxi both said it was good. Brother Rong, come over and try it." Nangong Yuanyuan put down the food box in her hand and took out a plate from it. Heart, the color is like new green jade, purple is like brocade, the color is bright, it makes people feel very appetizing.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yuanyuan rested her chin on one hand, not daring to blink her eyes as Rong Jin picked one up and put it in her mouth.

"En, it's delicious." Rong Jin swallowed it down: "There's a very... delicate fragrance in it, like the fragrance of lotus. What did you add to it?"

"The green one is jasper japonica rice, and the purple one is purple taro. When steaming, I specially spread a layer of lotus leaves in the cage. You can try the lotus seed japonica rice porridge that is cooked together. Does it also have the fragrance of lotus?" The green and plump, plump white lotus seeds are ripe and soft, and they do taste like a faint lotus fragrance, which is the right time to eat them.

I have always heard that the current emperor is very kind to Prince Yu's mansion. Prince Yu has given him many gifts during his lifetime. The tribute of this little girl is now the test product of this little girl's learning to cook.

"This japonica rice porridge is my specialty." Hearing Rong Jin's affirmation, the little girl immediately smiled, her crooked eyebrows raised and raised. "Even my elder brother praised this." Seeing Rong Jin's teasing expression, her eyebrows immediately stood upright: "Really, you know, it's not easy to get a compliment from my elder brother. My elder brother is even harder to please than my uncle. My elder brother is Well, everything is good, good looks, good talent, good ability... the only bad thing is that it is too difficult to please."

"It seems that you really admire your elder brother?"

"Yeah," the little girl nodded, "I admire my elder brother the most. I haven't seen my father a few times since I was a child." The mood was obviously a little depressed; "It's the elder brother who cares about me, although the elder brother treats people coldly, But he is a very nice person, you will know it when you see him, but the elder brother grew up with the uncle of the emperor, he doesn't come back often, he has his own bedroom in the palace."

He treats you well because he is your elder brother. If it were someone else, Nangong Jingshen would not be such a friendly person. His father once gave him an evaluation of eight words: calm and unfathomable.

"What about your second brother?" He has never met the second young master of Prince Yu's Mansion, but he passed by Qiushangju once and seemed to want to come in, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"My second brother, I used to like my second brother the most. He would take me to play with him when he was young, but now he doesn't pay much attention to me, and he doesn't let me go out with him. What about girls, you can't In public, I don't like Second Brother now, I like Big Brother Rong now."

"Why is a girl so shameless?" The two were chatting happily, but no one noticed when Princess Yu came in. Princess Rong is only in her early thirties now, with a long face and slashed eyebrows. , wearing a beige embroidered dress with white butterflies and flowers on the shoulders. It has been a bit cold recently, and I added a pair of silver velvet clothes, full of grace and luxury. , education and bearing will never be bad.Although he was laughing and cursing, his demeanor was still very good.

"Mother, why are you here?" Nangong Yuanyuan laughed like a bird in the forest and took Princess Yu's arm.

"No big or small."

"Mother, come and sit here." Nangong Yuanyuan patted the chair with two layers of cushions under her hands: "It won't be cold here."

"You will act coquettishly and cling to me." Princess Yu patted her head, and pulled her to accompany her.

"Is your son comfortable living here? If you need anything, just tell me, you're welcome." Princess Yu took the tea from the maid, took a sip, and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.Immediately, a servant girl waiting on the side stepped forward to take away the teacup and the used handkerchief.

"Princess Xie cares about her. Rong Jin lives here and has been taken care of by the concubine in many ways. Rong Jin's daily life is also taken care of in every possible way. I am looking for an opportunity to pay my respects to the concubine."

"The prince just treats this place as his own home. You don't have to be so polite. In other words, your father often came here when he was in the capital. It's just that something has happened in these years. Unchanged." She really likes this gentle and jade-like young man in front of her. She has inherited her parents' good looks. Looking at Rong Jin's appearance, she has seen Prince Rongxi before. Presumably Princess Rong's appearance must be the same. She is an alluring beauty, otherwise, how could Prince Rong, who has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, restrain his habits and stay alone, even Princess Xilan, who was the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time, would not be moved by committing himself to marrying his wife.

"Are Prince Rong and Consort Wang still in good health?"

"My father has always been in good health, but my mother has been a little ill recently and is recuperating at home."

"That's fine."

Afterwards, the concubine chatted about some household matters, and left after half an hour.It's just that the princess's last glance at the garden before leaving was full of... How should I put it, nostalgia?Yuanyuan sent Princess Yu to the gate of the garden and returned.Drooping his head, he was no longer as playful as before.

"What's the matter? Yuanyuan?" What could happen in such a short time?

"Mother said, I haven't been to this garden for a long time." The little girl bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and sat down on the stone bench in the yard, with her face buried in her arms. Nasal voice: "I think of my father and my mother, I mean my mother. This garden was my father's favorite during his lifetime. In the past, every time my father came back from the border, he had to live in this garden alone for a long time. I was still young at that time, but I already remember, my mother always hugged me and cried." The little girl touched the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "She always said that the person my father loves the most lived in this garden, But as far as I can remember, only my father lived in this garden, and I never saw anyone else live in it. Later, after my father passed away, this garden was sealed."

"Then why do I live here?" It doesn't make sense that a garden that has been closed, and it has other meanings, would let him live here?

"You don't know? Brother Rong?" Yuanyuan tilted her head in doubt.

"What do I know?" Rong Jin frowned, did he overlook something?

"My elder brother must let you live here."

How could it be him, Nangong Jingshen?
