Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Chu Yifeng is cooking honestly. He has lived a fulfilling life these past few days. He does some carpentry work according to Ling Xiao's instructions every day, which is quite enjoyable. Today he has been busy all morning and finally finished it. Want to have a good meal? Who would have thought that Ling Xiao would push it all without eating one bite!

Chu Yifeng was a very honest person, Ling Xiao pushed a table full of dishes, he immediately jumped out half a foot holding his own bowl, approached Ling Xiao tentatively, and whispered: "You... what's wrong?"

"Your disrespect." After Ling Xiao said this, he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground.

Chu Yifeng was so frightened that he threw away the bowl, and hurriedly sent for the imperial physician, picked up Ling Xiao himself, and carried him to his own dormitory.

Ling Xiao was born extremely beautiful, and he had a special charm just to pass out like this. Chu Yifeng didn't have time to appreciate it. His mind was extremely simple. He also saw soldiers fainted when he was young, but they were either hungry or tired, or they had heat stroke, but what happened to Ling Xiao? !

Chu Yifeng was anxious but didn't dare to disturb Ling Xiao. He twisted the towel with his own hands and carefully wiped Ling Xiao's face. Ling Xiao's complexion became paler, and his exquisite eyebrows and eyes were twisted up, as if he was in great pain. Chu Yifeng He was so anxious that he was almost crying, when the emperor hurried over with the imperial doctor, and the concubine also rushed over after a while.

It turned out that Chu Yifeng was afraid that something would happen to Ling Xiao, so he asked his servant to tell him that he was sick. The rules in the palace, except for the emperor, empress and princes and grandsons, can directly announce the imperial doctor. After all, it's hard to say whether it will be announced to the imperial doctor, let alone someone of Ling Xiao's level. The emperor and the princess only heard that Chu Yifeng had a sudden illness, and they came here in a hurry to know the truth before they were relieved.

Ling Xiao is also someone who is deeply loved by the emperor and the princess. The princess was afraid that the emperor would reprimand Chu Yifeng, so she said angrily first: "Why are you so ignorant?! It made the emperor worry!"

The emperor was also worried about Ling Xiao, and interrupted: "Forget it, Feng'er is also worried about Ling Xiao, what are you doing in a daze! Why don't you see what's going on with Ling Xiao!" The last sentence was addressed to the imperial doctor who was still kneeling on the ground.

The imperial doctor hurriedly got up and went to the inner room, held Ling Xiao's hand, and couldn't make a judgment for a long time. The emperor and the princess were waiting outside, and I couldn't see anything and couldn't do the job. ...There is nothing wrong with it!

The imperial doctor had a bitter expression on his face. If he went out and said he was fine, then something would happen to him. At this time Ling Xiao woke up leisurely, and the imperial doctor seized the hope and said excitedly: "Young Master? What's wrong with Xiaohou? "

Ling Xiao was a little weak, and said slowly: "I've always felt tired these few days, and I ate a lot, but I just didn't feel very hungry, and I passed out just now."

The imperial doctor was taken aback, and thought, Young Master, are you playing with me?You want me to tell the emperor that you are starving?What about cheating ghosts? !

The imperial doctor examined the pulse carefully again, it was indeed a pulse with a little qi deficiency, and the voice was good

Qi said: "Then I don't know what has changed in the diet of the young master in the past few days? But what did you eat that you don't usually eat? Or did you eat less?"

"That's not true. In the past few days, I ate at the second emperor's grandson. The food is a little simpler than Tingfeng Pavilion, and I didn't eat much."

The imperial doctor nodded, thinking that it was pretty much the same, so he got up and went to the outside room, made up a few words and said it again, to the effect that Ling Xiao ate a little simpler these days, the young master is delicate and expensive, and When the body grows, it is caused by the temporary lack of nutrient supply.

The emperor nodded, relieved, and couldn't help sighing: "Xiao'er's body usually looks good, why is she so weak inside?"

Chu Yifeng was the most careful about Ling Xiao, fearing that Grandpa Huang was saying that Ling Xiao was coquettish, he quickly argued: "Grandpa Huang doesn't know something, Ling Xiao has been with his grandson these days..."

Chu Yifeng told about Ling Xiao and him improving the keel waterwheel these days. He intended to tell the emperor that Ling Xiao was tired and not coquettish. His eyes widened, and he immediately took Chu Yifeng's hand and went out to see the two waterwheels that had been completed.

When the emperor saw the waterwheel by the small lake in Haitangyuan, his eyes were straightened. Chu Yifeng was still young and ignorant of political affairs, but the old emperor knew the meaning of the waterwheel. It's not a single star that the common people benefit from farming!

The emperor wandered around the waterwheel for a long time, and then personally tied the rope that tied the cow to his body for a while to experiment. He said happily, "It's easy for me to pull it, let alone a beast!"

Let me be good... The emperor circled around with his sleeves wrapped around, admired the waterwheel for a long time, then turned to Chu Yifeng and said, "Xiao'er and you did this?"

"Grandson is just helping out, it was all designed by Ling Xiao." Chu Yifeng smiled when he saw the emperor was so happy, "I guess he was tired from doing this these days, um... he is delicate."

The emperor was overjoyed, and quickly turned around and went in to see Ling Xiao.

At this moment Ling Xiao has sat up, but his face is still a little pale, leaning on some soft pillows and half-opening his eyes, the princess is holding one of his hands to greet his health, Ling Xiao is about to get up immediately when he sees the old emperor coming in, The emperor took a step forward and pressed Ling Xiao's shoulder, and said softly, "Don't be so polite, Feng'er showed me the waterwheel you made. It's really a great fortune for the people, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's not the credit of the minister alone. This water Chechen has been designed since a year ago. I struggled with several levels and couldn't figure it out. After a few days of guidance from the second emperor's grandson, I realized it. In terms of credit, the Second Emperor's grandson deserves more credit."

While Ling Xiao was talking, his left hand under the quilt couldn't help clenching tightly.

From the very beginning, he knew that the credit was too great. He just wanted to enter the Ministry of Industry smoothly, and he didn't want to attract too much attention. The only way was to find someone to share his credit. Who?

The most suitable candidate is naturally Chu Yifeng, the second emperor's grandson.He will help himself with peace of mind and will not doubt... Everything is in the plan. Just yesterday, Ling Xiao was still regretting that he had dragged Chu Yifeng into the water and let him be a careless little prince freely. Okay, but today Ling Xiao figured it out, Chu Yifeng was born in the royal family, and he has been stuck in the quagmire for a long time.

So what if there is no such incident, Chu Yifeng already has a reputation in the army, and his military talent will become more and more obvious in the next few years, Chu Yijin can't tolerate him after all.

Then why don't you help him earlier, and we'll talk about it later, but now, Chu Yifeng is a serious son of the crown prince, so what if he doesn't like the crown prince?That's not something those servants can bully!

The emperor and the crown princess turned their heads to look at Chu Yifeng, their eyes were full of relief, Chu Yifeng's face flushed all of a sudden, he waved his hands quickly, and stammered, "No, that's not the case! I just beat you..."

"The second emperor's grandson is too modest." Ling Xiao interjected, talking about how eloquent Chu Yifeng was his opponent, Ling Xiao's tongue was full of lotus flowers, and in a few words, he said that Chu Yifeng and him were half and half of the credit for this.

The more the emperor thought about it, the happier he was. Looking at Ling Xiao's pale face, he couldn't help but said: "Look, I've worn out a lot these days, and I can't hurt my body because of this. You are still young, and you have to take responsibility in the future." Useful talent."

"Your disgrace..." Ling Xiao nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "The emperor knows that I follow my grandfather, and I usually eat these dried fruits and snacks, but this Begonia courtyard doesn't seem to distribute these... on weekdays It's too comfortable to eat at the fourth emperor's grandson, but I can't stand the occasional light food at the second emperor's grandson's place, this minister is frivolous."

"Is it light in Feng'er?" The old emperor sniffed out a hint of taste, "The rules here in Feng'er are the same as in Yan'er, why is it different here?!"

"The same?!" A trace of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, with a white lotus-like innocence on his face, he said suspiciously, "I thought it was better because the fourth grandson was young, just like the lychees that I paid tribute to yesterday. The number of grandchildren of the fourth emperor is twice as much as that of the second emperor, minister..." Ling Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly, "The emperor knows that the minister is the most greedy, so he asked the servant to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for it, and said that there is no Haitang courtyard. It's..."

Ling Xiao lowered his head, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, why wait when he just made a contribution? !Let the group of snobbish slaves know that the dignity of the second emperor's grandson will never be trampled on, not even provoked.

Ling Xiao's understatement aroused the anger of the old emperor, and looking at the wreckage of the dish that Ling Xiao knocked over outside, it was indeed simpler.Even the concubine's face changed with anger, and said angrily: "Go and call Xu Quanlai from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I want to ask when the rules for the emperor's grandchildren will be different!"

It is precisely because of the waterwheel that the old emperor wants to give a big reward

Appreciating Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao, who knew that such a thing would happen, seeing Ling Xiao's haggard face made him even more angry.

Not long after, Xu Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came. He had already heard a hint of the wind, and he was frightened. He quickly brought Ji Xiang, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and Xu Quan held Ji Xiang and cursed in his heart. His servant must have found out about the embezzlement of the Haitang Courtyard!

Jixiang's heart was pounding, his legs trembling in fright, and he couldn't walk. He followed Xu Quan and complained in his heart, because the second emperor's grandson never cared about these things, and seeing that the prince didn't care about this emperor's grandson. The old oil in the palace is so cruel, what are you waiting for if you don't get this oil? !

It seemed that something had happened at this moment, Xu Quan was so frightened that he knelt and crawled in, kowtowed and said: "The servant brought the auspicious auspiciousness of the steward of Sidong Palace."

Jixiang was so frightened that he kowtowed. The old emperor knew that he was afraid of sin when he saw him, and he was even more angry. Your guts are unevenly distributed!"

Jixiang hurriedly kowtowed, weeping, and cried: "How dare you slave, the tribute is limited, and the second emperor's grandson usually doesn't like these, so I just want to give more to other places, this is also the slave's painstaking efforts. ..."

Not to mention, it’s okay, when Xu Quan mentioned the old emperor’s beard so angry, he stepped forward and kicked Ji Xiang on the shoulder, and roared: "You, a slave, assigned the quota in the palace?! Give it to others This is something you can decide? Even if he throws away all the royal and grandson's responsibilities, there is no place for you to intervene! What's more, I don't think these things are necessarily allocated elsewhere, right?!"

When Jixiang was mentioned as ill, he just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Ling Xiao coughed a few times, the old emperor looked back at him, calmly, and asked with concern: "Xiao'er still not feeling well?"

"No." Ling Xiao shook his head. The old emperor glanced impatiently at Jixiang on the ground, and ordered: "Xu Quan, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, is not strict with his orders. He imposes half a year's monthly money. The deacon Jixiang withdrew his errand immediately. I will be replaced by a deputy. As for how to punish...it is thanks to Xiaoer that I know that this slave is actually such a thing, let Xiaoer deal with it, it is up to you to beat or kill."

After saying that, Xu Quan ignored Xie En and Ji Xiang, who was crying and kowtowing, Xu Quan immediately winked and asked the little eunuchs to pull Ji Xiang down and lock him up first, while he stood sweating profusely waiting for orders.

The emperor sighed, and comforted Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng again. Although such a bad thing happened, the emperor was still very happy when he thought of the waterwheel. After giving the order, he went back to the cabinet to talk about the waterwheel.

The concubine sent someone to fetch a lot of tonics. She just realized that Chu Yifeng had been treated harshly on weekdays. She blamed herself so much that she hugged Chu Yifeng and choked up: "It's my negligence on weekdays, silly boy, why don't you Why don't you tell your mother?"

It was only today that Chu Yifeng realized that he was being treated harshly. He usually didn't care about it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't dare to go too far. Chu Yifeng smiled dryly: "My son doesn't know..."

The Crown Princess embraced Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao again for half a day, and she was about to say something about Xu Quan when Ling Xiao stopped her, but Ling Xiao said softly: "Since the emperor said to let me deal with it, then don't dirty my aunt's hands anymore." gone."

Ling Xiao's admiration can be seen, and the princess also knew that if she intervened, it would cause people to discuss, she nodded and said: "Let Xiao'er deal with it, but take good care of your body... This is all my negligence on weekdays. He was actually blind..."

Ling Xiao comforted the princess again, and the princess went back with a sigh.

Everyone left, Chu Yifeng stood by Ling Xiao, still a little nervous, and whispered: "Are you okay? Are you still uncomfortable?"

Ling Xiao looked helplessly at Chu Yifeng's handsome and fair face. He was so fake when he fainted, but the child still believed it. Ling Xiao smiled: "It's okay."

After a while, the eunuch in charge of Haitang Court came up to ask for instructions: "Master, young master, what should we do with Xu Quan, the former chief executive?"

Xu Quan, who was standing on the side and didn't dare to leave, raised his head slightly to see Ling Xiao's expression, Chu Yifeng also looked back at Ling Xiao and listened to him, Ling Xiao smiled faintly.

"Stand dead."
