Ning Chen Ling Xiao

On the third day after Ling Zhi gave birth to a child, many people came to congratulate Shi Mansion. Although it was a national funeral, but now Ling Xiao's status is getting higher and higher, and everyone in the imperial city who has something to do with Shi Mansion came to express their gratitude. After giving Ling Zhi enough face, Ling Xiao and Ling Xuan even came to congratulate him early in the morning.

The front was lively, Ling Xiao greeted everyone for a while, and then came to the back.

There was also a burst of laughter in the inner room, Ling Xiao let the maids pass the word outside, and Jing Yu laughed inside and said: "Your brother is very happy since he knew that your mother and child are safe, let the nursing mothers take brothers and sisters to give them to you. He sees it?"

Ling Zhi smiled, looked at the two children held by the nanny in front of his bed with a smile, and said: "No, let brother come in, we have been good since we were young, and now we don't have to stick to this ceremony." Jing Yu looked towards the house The young wives and grandmas in the village, everyone knows, let Ling Zhi's sister-in-law lure them.

Jing Yu was afraid that their brothers and sisters would say that it would be inconvenient for her to stay here, so she chatted and laughed casually, stroking her temples and shaking her head, nodding her head and laughing: "My wife is also here, I met you just now, and she is talking to you over there. The mother-in-law is talking, and I'll go over to join in the fun."

"Well, I can't move, my sister-in-law will apologize for me, and bring it to Mrs. Jing." Ling Zhi smiled, "My sister-in-law often comes to play when she is free, next time bring Brother Yun over, I haven't moved much in the past two months, It's been a while since I saw him, but is it okay?"

Jing Yu smiled: "Okay, I heard that I insisted on coming to see my little aunt. I thought you had a lot of things to do, and I couldn't take care of his child, so I didn't take him with me. I will bring him next time. Take a look."

"But, my aunt and I miss him very much." Ling Zhi smiled, and Jing Yu whispered some affectionate words, and then went away after a few words of advice.

Only then did Ling Xiao come in, and said with a smile, "Thank you sister."

Ling Zhi nodded and smiled, and asked the nanny to bring the two children to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao touched the two children's faces lightly, and said with a smile: "They are all very good, not wrinkled, they are fresh, My sister is very much like you when you were a child."

"Teasing me again." Ling Zhi smiled, "Sit down quickly, let's talk for a while."

Ling Xiao sat down and looked at Ling Zhi's expression carefully, and felt relieved: "I still have to have a good life this month. The weather is bad now, but don't be greedy for coolness. Listen to the mothers more, don't lose your health."

"I know, how many times have I heard these words recently." Ling Zhi paused, looked at the waiters in the room, and said lightly, "It's already hot today, don't stay here, you have been serving for half a day, go out Just have a sip of tea and come back."

The maidservants knew this, and hurriedly withdrew to serve outside.

"What's the matter?" Ling Xiaofeng raised his eyes slightly, "You have something to tell me? But someone in the house bullied you?"

Ling Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Now my brother wants to be windy and rainy outside, who dares to bully me? I have something else to say..."

Ling Zhi lightly squeezed his cuffs, as if he didn't know how to speak, and after a while he said: "Although I've been in this mansion for the past few days, I vaguely heard... the former Prince Hui died, right?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Ling Zhi sighed lightly: "I don't understand the previous things, and I never dared to say anything to you, brother. My aunt and grandmother taught me long ago. No matter how flattering those wives and ladies are, I never agreed to it." Why is it that I am afraid that my brother will make things difficult for you, but now..."

"Sister, just say whatever you want." Ling Xiao didn't have any troubles. After Ling Zhi got married, she was also his sister, and she was all prosperous. The higher she climbed, the higher Ling Zhi's status would naturally be, but some troubles would follow. Afterwards, some people can't speak in front of him, so it's normal to ask Ling Zhi. Ling Xiao only thought that Ling Zhi agreed to something because he couldn't save face, and said with a smile, "But what did someone ask you for?"

Ling Zhi paused and smiled wryly: "Brother misunderstood, how dare I do this, I just want to ask for a favor from my brother, that's... that's Princess Hui..."

"Princess Hui, Zhen Pingzhi... and I have known each other since we were in our boudoir, but we were not very familiar with each other at that time. Later, when we got married, we saw each other a little bit more." Ling Zhi saw that Ling Xiao's face did not change. , I felt more at ease in my heart, and then said, "The princess is a good person, she has everything virtuous and virtuous, and she treats people very kindly... She has a little grandson in front of her, who is older than Brother Yun, and later she became pregnant again. I got one, a month earlier than me, counting the days, I guess it's already confinement, but now Prince Hui's mansion is in a mess, who cares... I don't know if it's a man or a woman..."

"Two months ago was the last time the two of us saw each other at my aunt's house. The princess saw that I was getting big too, so she joked with me that in the future I should make a doll and marry a son and daughter..." Ling Zhi shook his head, Sighing softly, "Although I am a woman, I still know something about the previous things. Prince Hui and Prince Ying are not right. I don't know how the princess said that. Besides, the princess and I have parents-in-law above and husband below, and she is pregnant again. Zilongsun, when it's our turn to decide these things, I'll just take it as a joke."

"Who knows that we met again in the garden after the banquet. At that time, there was no one else around, only our respective girls. The princess actually brought up this matter again. Her words and demeanor are no longer joking. If you are shameless, it is as if you are begging me... It makes me lose my mind." Ling Zhi paused, how did she know that Ling Xiao would come back to the imperial city later, she was already frightened by the appearance of the princess caught.

"You agreed?" Ling Xiao's heart moved. Even if he agreed, he would not agree. In the future, he will definitely help Ling Zhi's two children to find a good relationship. How can he be with the children left by King Hui? catch up.

"No, I wouldn't dare." Ling Zhi sighed softly, "It's true that my heart was moved that day. Princess Hui, who looks so beautiful on weekdays, was so unsatisfactory in private... I said, each other's secrets I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, and you and I can decide on the child's future marriage, so I tried to comfort her for a while..."

"Afterwards, she didn't look well, and told me that if something happened in the future, she must take care of it for the sake of the child. I thought she was really pitiful, so I promised that she would definitely work for her in the future." Ling Pheasant sighed, "Who would have thought that this is the situation now? She is actually paving the way for her own children... I am also a person who has children now, so I can understand her thoughts. You men fight in front of me." Killing, killing, how do you know what the woman behind is worried about..."

Ling Zhi looked at Ling Xiao and smiled: "It's useless to tell you this now. After all, you will understand when you find me a sister-in-law. It's too far away. I'm just asking you for a favor. Now King Hui has gone , you can see that he is the eldest brother of the King of England, or because I beg you, if it doesn't hinder, help their orphans and widows."

Ling Xiao smiled: "It can be seen that you are an adult, but now you are so merciful to women and children. I understand what my sister means, and I am not a person who does not know right from wrong. No matter what King Hui has done, Princess Hui is just a woman, and her two children are still young. , no hindrance."

Ling Zhi felt relieved: "In this way, I will feel at ease."

Ling Xiao ordered the servants to come in, ordered the bird's nest porridge to be prepared for Ling Zhi to drink a few sips, and comforted him: "Now is the time for you to have a good life, don't always think about these messy things, take good care of it, two Every child will be a blessed person, don't worry."

With such a big brother, and her husband is up to date, Ling Zhi is also very relieved about the future, and said with a smile: "I know, the big thing has been decided now, and it will get better and better in the future."

It was inconvenient for Ling Xiao to sit for a long time, so he went to the front after talking for a while.

The next day when Ling Xiao entered the palace to pay his respects to the queen, he mentioned the matter of Princess Hui. The queen lost her mind for a while, nodded and said: "Feng'er is a generous person. I have already mentioned the matter of the princess to me. There are few people, and a lot of things have been sent there, but...you know, at this moment, if I treat her well on the surface, I am harming her. I sent Mother Kang to comfort her a few times. Mama said that she seems to have listened to it a little bit, and it's alright in the mansion now."

Ling Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry too much. After a while, the prince will come forward to pick up the princess and the two little grandchildren into the palace to pay their respects. You will be relieved when you see it."

"Really?" The queen was both happy and distressed when she heard this. Before she knew that Chu Yifeng and Chu Yijin had fought, she knew that she would lose a child. She made the worst plan, but she didn't expect that Chu Yifeng would treat Chu Yijin so kindly in the end faction of people.

"Of course it's true." Ling Xiao's eyes were full of admiration, "Now the prince can't enter the palace to honor his aunt, but he thinks about it all day long."

The queen nodded after hearing this: "Feng'er is the most filial, and you are also filial...I listen to you, the new dim sum made by the chef yesterday is not bad, you can take some back to eat with Feng'er."

Ling Xiao smiled and thanked him.

The next day Ling Xiao personally prepared the things and sent them to Prince Hui's Mansion. Although the mansion is a bit depressed now, but fortunately there are people from the Queen who have been taking care of it, and it seems to be quite comfortable. Ling Xiao handed over the things to the steward of Prince Hui's Mansion. He also said a few words that Chu Yifeng missed his elder sister-in-law and the two emperors and grandchildren very much. He wanted to leave just like that, but the steward went in and answered the question and came back: "My lord, the concubine said... She said she wanted to see my little brother. Marquis."

"See me?" Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then his sympathy for Princess Hui faded, and he said, "I am a foreigner, so it may be unreasonable to see the princess like this, please forgive me, I will leave first. "

"Little Marquis..."

Princess Hui supported the large sandalwood screen that was turned out by the maids, and nodded slightly: "Hello, little duke."

A favored young master and a useless princess, it is really hard to tell who is older and who is younger, and the two are related, but they just greeted each other, Ling Xiao said lightly: "The princess is not in good health now, so she should give birth to a good baby." yes."

Concubine Hui was only wearing plain palace gauze, her long hair was rolled up casually, without any decorations, she sat down and said softly, "Please sit down, young master, and watch tea."

The girls brought tea, but Ling Xiao didn't move. Concubine Hui smiled wryly, ordered everyone to go down, and said softly: "Young Master can come to take care of you personally, I think it's because your sister has said a lot of good things for me."

"The concubine is really smart." Ling Xiaofeng raised her eyes slightly, "I know that I love Ji'er, and she is a kind-hearted person. It really is a good plan to start with her."

Concubine Hui's eyes moved, she nodded and said: "What I say and do now, Young Master naturally won't think of the good."

In fact, Ling Xiao

He didn't intend to do anything to Chu Yijin's wife, but he was just dissatisfied that Princess Hui was too thoughtful. Two months ago, before the late emperor died, she knew that she was going to do something to Ling Zhi, to get married?What a joke, if King Hui came to the throne today, would she marry Ling Zhi?

Ling Xiao prefers that Princess Hui come to intercede with him in person. What he hates the most is that others plot against his family, which makes him more disgusted than plotting against him.

Concubine Hui paused, and smiled wryly: "I think I'm being smart... Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, now I want to ask the little lord for a favor, will the little lord agree to me?"

Ling Xiao didn't say yes, and said: "Princess, don't worry, the two emperors and grandchildren are of royal blood. No matter what King Hui did in the past, it has nothing to do with the princess and the emperor's grandchildren. The king of England is benevolent and will not be angry." Ling Xiao I have thought about it for a long time, after Chu Yifeng ascended the throne, people in the royal family will definitely not allow the two nephews to be raised by Princess Hui. At that time, the two children must come from other sources. As for Princess Hui...

Concubine Hui's eyes turned red, and she said lightly: "Young Master's promise to me is too great, I don't believe it anymore... I don't ask so much, I just ask that Master Hou can treat my child well, Mother Qin ..."

Behind the screen, an old mother came with a baby in her arms. Princess Hui took it, tears streaming down her face, and said softly, "This is my little son...now, there is no name..."

Princess Hui stood up holding the child, walked up to Ling Xiao and knelt down.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Ling Xiao quickly stood up and said anxiously, "It's enough for the princess to speak well..."

Concubine Hui refused to get up, and cried: "I beg for mercy from the young master, please adopt this child to the royal family, don't... don't let him grow up in the name of Prince Hui, young master... I kowtow to you, please..."

"The King of England is merciful, and the empress mother is merciful. They both said that they would not anger me and the children..." Princess Hui choked up, "Young Lord, tell me, who? Who really doesn't care?!"

"To be disrespectful, who wouldn't say these words? But I don't want nice words. I'm just a woman, I don't understand the truth, and I know that the two children will be punished in the court and in the clan in the future. People treat each other differently..." Princess Hui held Ling Xiao's clothes tightly, and cried, "Ming'er is already old, so there must be no other hope, but this child is still young, why bother to make him sad all his life... Xiao Marquis, I beg you, now there are only you and me in this room, I entrust this child to you, you just choose an adoptive person from the royal family who has no position and no right, and just say to the outside world that my child is dead, okay? Okay? I beg you..."

Ling Xiao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The princess is really worrying too much. This child is the late emperor's grandson, and his future will definitely not be wrong." All the embarrassment comes to mind...

Princess Hui smiled bleakly: "I'm too worried... the young master understands better than I do. If this child knows all about today, he will still be loyal to King Ying in his heart? How can the young master and the young master not be afraid of this child? Such mutual suspicion...Suspicion is easy to breed dark ghosts, and I can know the suffering of these two children in the future, the young master is so predictable, how could he not have thought of it?!"

"Young Lord... I beg you, you don't need to send it to the royal family, even if you find a wealthy family far away..." Princess Hui kept tearing down and pleaded, "I beg you..."

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, and finally said in a deep voice: "The princess is smart, so she should know how difficult it is to do, not to mention how to hide it from everyone, I asked the princess, who in the royal family would dare to adopt Hui Wang to stay?" The next child? I said that I will treat the two children well and I will do it. I have not seen the princess today, let alone heard these words. The princess takes good care of herself, so I will leave first."

Princess Hui fell powerlessly and sat on the ground, crying softly...

On the sedan chair back to the Prince's Mansion, Ling Xiao couldn't stop thinking about the scene of Princess Hui kneeling and begging for himself just now with the child in her arms.

If it is said that Ling Xiao's sympathy and help to Zhu Yu was because he thought of Chu Yifeng, and things hurt others, then the unbearable feeling in his heart looking at Princess Hui now is because of Ling Zhi.

Looking at Princess Hui's unbearable state, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think, if the army was defeated that day, Ling Zhi's current situation would probably be like this.

He doesn't know if Chu Yijin has the tolerance to treat the people in the Kanghou Mansion, but Ling Xiao still has some pity for Chu Yijin's family, Ling Zhi is right, men are killed outside, women are in the boudoir Don't worry about it day and night, but also bear the failure of the man.Women are pitiful, and children are even more innocent.Ling Xiao could not care about it if he made up his mind, but what about Chu Yifeng?In the future, the two children will be in a rough situation, will Chu Yifeng be sad?

Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, that's all, even if it is to accumulate blessings for Chu Yifeng and Ling Zhi, after Chu Yifeng ascends the throne, he will bring Princess Hui to the palace in the name of serving the Queen Mother, and the two children will also be brought to the palace, Ling Xiao It's not that Xiao is not afraid of the child. After all, it was Chu Yijin who left behind. If he finds out about his father in the future, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not have the idea of ​​revenge. .

If these things are done, I don’t know how much nonsense the old man will have to listen to and how many times he will be scolded behind his back. Ling Xiao rubbed his brows. After finishing the cooking, the old man still has to take care of his son. Hurry up and become the throne, it’s all nonsense.

At night, Ling Xiao told Chu Yifeng about this, and Chu Yifeng thought about it for a while and said: "Well, the two children are still young...it has nothing to do with them after all, it's good to be taken into the palace to accompany the mother."

"I think so too." Ling Xiao said, "These days my aunt has lost her husband and lost a son, and the palace is full of long nights. It's good to take the children to pass the time, and I can feel better in my heart."

Chu Yifeng was lost in thought when he heard Ling Xiao's words, and he didn't know where he was thinking. When Ling Xiao was about to fall asleep, Chu Yifeng poked him with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "You...do you want a child? Your own child? "

"What kind of child do you want..." Ling Xiao turned over and hugged Chu Yifeng and kissed him on the forehead, closed his eyes and murmured, "Aren't you just a child? It's enough to raise you, you are my son, how can you have the energy to raise him?" Others...sleep, there are many things to do tomorrow..."

Chu Yifeng's heart warmed up, he leaned against Ling Xiao and closed his eyes...
