Clan House

Chapter 20

When Song Jingxin woke up, she found that she had already returned to the bedroom. She could see the familiar bed curtains and smell the usual incense.The memory before he fainted gradually came back, and he seemed to see someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

It turned out that in the restaurant, the bearded man was also afraid that he would die if he pressed the acupuncture point for a long time, and planned to promote blood circulation for Song Jingxin, but he was interrupted by the sudden boy.This young man is none other than Song Yi, king of Chu who disappeared for a long time.Song Yi had just arrived in the capital that day, and had not yet met the saint, so he first asked a few acquaintances of Xun Kuan to inquire about the situation in the palace.For such a private meeting, Song Yi chose a small tavern where he could avoid people, but he never thought that he would be in the same place with the prince in micro-clothes.

Song Jingxin was fighting with someone in the lobby, the sound spread to the second floor, Song Yi came out to see the sound, and happened to see the prince making trouble.Xun Kuan rubbed his forehead, feeling that this situation seemed familiar.Lord Xun is also a practicing family son, he saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was at a disadvantage, and hesitated whether to go down to help.Song Yi stopped him, and only asked everyone to hide in the box, and left separately after he went downstairs to calm down the incident.

Song Yi had never practiced martial arts, but a few attendants who were traveling with him were taking a walk not far away.He first went to call some guards to come in, but saw that the useless prince had been knocked down to the ground, the big man with the beard seemed to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, so he hurriedly stopped him.

This time Song Yi and the big man were talking about each other, but Song Jingxin saw the young man who rescued him more and more familiar.Until the other party said: "This person is my brother's unworthy grandson, since I met him, I must discipline him for my brother."

Only then did Song Jingxin figure it out, and immediately shouted out of breath, "My second grandpa, you are already so tall!"

Song Yi was interrupted, so he also turned his head, bent slightly and looked at Song Jingxin.The boy's stature has grown a lot compared to two years ago, and the baby fat has also faded from his cheeks, revealing his handsome outline in the future.Song Jingxin forgot about the pain in his chest, stretched out his claws and made a movement that he had dreamed of for many years, pinching his second grandfather's face.

Song Yi had a strong sense of defense, and immediately pushed him away.Song Jingxin was pushed backwards, hit the back of the table leg, and passed out straight away.

Song Jingxin scolded Gu Niang, stretched her arms and legs while lying on the bed, only felt that the dullness in her chest had disappeared, but she was still a little weak and couldn't lift her strength.Huang Xi has been guarding outside, heard the movement inside the tent, hurriedly came up: "Your Highness is awake?"

Song Jingxin snorted, Huang Xi immediately lifted the bed curtain and asked the prince if he wanted to get up.Song Jingxin sat up holding Huang Xi's hand, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that there was another person sitting in the room. "This... this is..."

"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Chu sent you back," Huang Xi said, "Your Highness, my servant, please go back first. Your Highness is worried. I have to see you wake up to be at ease. I have been waiting for a long time."

Song Jingxin went to see Song Yi, and saw that he was sitting upright, not as if he had been waiting for a long time.The boy was holding a book in his hand, but judging by the thickness of the roll, he read most of it.Song Jingxin was still not used to his little ancestor who had grown up suddenly, so he took advantage of the illness for a while longer and said, "Thank you Emperor Uncle, the acupuncture points in this palace were also unlocked by Emperor Uncle."

"It's all right," Song Yi put down the book in his hand, "If you still feel uncomfortable, call the imperial doctor to come in and have a look."

Huang Xi got the order and sent the little eunuch to invite the imperial physician.When he opened the door, he heard a childish voice from outside, Song Yi raised his eyes and asked Song Jingxin, "But the little princess?"

"It's the little girl, whose baby name is Xiao'er. The emperor's uncle can call her 'Xiaoer'," Song Jingxin laughed, and told Huang Xi, "Go and bring the princess in for the emperor's uncle to have a look at."

Song Yi had just returned to Beijing, hadn't returned home to freshen up, and didn't bring any rare things with him.The little girl still didn't know what to say, and she called mother when she saw men and women, but she liked Song Yi, and she drooled while laughing while tugging on his sleeve.

"Mom..." The little girl really forgot about Mrs. Xu, and yelled happily at Song Yi.

"My daughter, this is not your mother, it has to be called..." Song Jingxin thought about Song Yi's seniority, but for a moment she didn't know what to call her.

"Your Highness, it should be called Emperor Great-Uncle." The nanny reminded.

"Ahem..." Song Jingxin couldn't help but smile wryly at this address, and even Song Yi, who had always been calm, felt a little embarrassed.

"My little one can't talk yet, don't tease her." Song Yi straightened his empty sleeves, and took off a string of beads from his slender wrist. "This king has just entered Beijing, and I haven't had time to prepare a gift for my little one. This string of beads It was given by my father in the past, and I found a famous master to consecrate it. Our Song family's descendants are weak, this bead has protected the king until now, and now it is given to the child, I hope the child will be healthy in the future."

Song Yi handed the bead to the wet nurse, who was too frightened to accept the aura bestowed by Yingzong Yu, and asked the prince for instructions with her eyes.Song Jingxin also felt that the gift was too heavy: "A little girl can't afford such an important gift from the emperor's uncle. Besides, this is an old thing of the emperor's great-grandfather, and you have carried it with you for many years."

"It's okay, it's just a portable accessory." Song Yi saw that the nanny didn't pick it up, so he grabbed the child's fat hand and wrapped it around him.

Song Jingxin was no longer easy to evade, and asked the nanny to hold the baby and thank her for the reward.At this time the imperial doctor came, and he sent the wet nurse to take the child back to the room.The imperial physician examined the Prince's pulse carefully, and said that his body was not damaged, and he could recover his strength after a few days of cultivation.In the end, he prescribed several soups and medicines for conditioning, and told the little eunuch to go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine before leaving.Before leaving, he saw the young Song Yi, but for a moment he didn't recognize who this nobleman was.

After being stared at by the imperial physician, Song Yi also felt that something was wrong. "I'm wearing casual clothes, so it's not appropriate to stay in your East Palace for a long time." He said to Song Jingxin, "Since you are in good health, I will go back to the palace first, and I have something to discuss with you before I leave."

"Uncle Emperor, please tell me?"

"The man who competed with you is called Niu Tong. He makes a living by blacksmithing on weekdays. He has some friendship with the woman who sings the song. What happened during the day was a misunderstanding. You." Song Jingxin said, "This king will be a lobbyist today, can His Highness forgive him for his collision, and don't want to trouble him in the future?"

"Uncle Huang recognizes that person?" Song Jingxin asked.

"I saw you for the first time today," Song Yi said.

"Then why does the emperor's uncle defend a person he has never met before? This palace has never suffered such a disadvantage." Song Jingxin wondered.

"This king sees that his skills are rare, and he is indeed not a villain. He should serve in the army and serve the country. It would be a pity to offend the East Palace because of this." Song Yi said, "It's just that he cherishes his talents and wants to be a favor. That's all. If the crown prince is still angry, let me pretend that I didn't say anything, but I have to take into account the "Teachings of the Great Ancestor" when I do it."

Song Jingxin's face turned blue when he heard "Tai Zu Xun". "All right, all right, I agree," His Royal Highness said impatiently, "You can hurry up and wait together for such a long time to teach me a lesson."

Song Yi said no more, and left immediately.Song Jingxin asked the eunuch to get up to wash up, changed into clean pajamas, and ordered dinner to be served in the dormitory.Since the death of the Crown Princess, Song Jingxin has always been in a depressed mood, unable to get motivated to do anything.At a young age, I felt that life is all about calculations, which is really not interesting.During the day, he had a fight with Niu Tong, although he was defeated, he had a good time fighting, but it wiped away all the depression in his chest in recent days.

Before Song Yi left, he mentioned "The Precepts of Taizu", which reminded Song Jingxin of the past few years ago.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already married, yet he still had to be taught a lesson by a little doll.Now the little baby has grown up, but Song Jingxin still hasn't made much progress as before.

"Where is Rongxiu?"

Huang Xi was helping Song Jingxin with the dishes, and he replied cautiously: "I haven't seen Miss Rongxiu this afternoon, I heard that she is packing up her luggage in her room, waiting for His Highness to send him out."

"When did Ben Gong say that she was going to be sent away?" Song Jingxin felt aggrieved, and couldn't figure out why she had become a villain. "What kind of grievances did she suffer in the past, why did she seem to have a big opinion on Ben Gong?"

"The servant is not familiar with Miss Rongxiu. If His Highness has any doubts, why not call someone over to ask?"

When Rongxiu came, she was still wearing her morning clothes, her makeup was neat, her hair was in a neat bun, and she was not flustered by the previous conflict.Song Jingxin couldn't understand women, so she simply didn't bother to guess.He pouted his lips and signaled Rongxiu to get the plate in front of him: "You are rewarded."

Seeing that it was a plate of crystal dumplings, Rongxiu politely thanked her for the reward, stepped aside and began to sip.

Song Jingxin ate eight percent full on her own, then put down her chopsticks to look at Rongxiu, and saw that she had also finished eating the crystal dumplings.Huang Xi led someone to clean up the dishes, and brought tea to the prince to rinse his mouth. "I remember, you didn't serve the princess before."

"Yes, the servant girl was only supported by the empress, and she didn't have the blessing to be close to the empress." Seeing that Song Jingxin was puzzled, Rongxiu reluctantly explained: "The servant girl was in the Shang Palace Bureau earlier, and it was the empress who gave the order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send the servant girl Sent to the palace to serve His Highness. After arriving at the palace, no matter whether His Highness likes the servants or not, the servants are His Highness’s people in name, and the maid in charge has never given work to the servants. But the slaves are not your concubine, so you can’t be your master. Live with ordinary court ladies. They all have their duties to be busy, and only slaves and maids have nothing to do. After a long time, they will naturally be hated. It was not until the princess concubine married to the East Palace, and when the roster was counted, I found out that there was such a slave. The empress is the master I allocated a separate room to the servant, and later saw that the servant could write a few words, so I often asked the servant to help with the calculations."

"When I first entered the palace, my maidservants were very high-minded, and they learned everything from Mr. Shanggong. Since entering the palace, they lived like air, and only the princess and concubine were more favored than the servants." Rongxiu raised her head slightly, Seeing that Song Jingxin's eyes stopped elsewhere, she lowered her eyes silently, "Your Majesty has kindness to this servant, and this servant just wants to repay this kindness."

"I never thought about your sufferings as court maids before. Is it my fault that you were excluded?" Song Jingxin said, "You complained to me because of this matter?"

"Don't dare, servants are poor, so it's natural for Your Highness to look down on them." Rongxiu said, "Your Highness just doesn't understand why His Highness treats all the empresses in the palaces in the same way. People say that His Highness and the Crown Princess concubines are equally affectionate and affectionate." Abnormally, the maidservant can't see His Royal Highness's affection for the empress. The servant girl follows the empress, and only sees that the empress can't stop worrying about her highness and this East Palace every day. When the empress was alive, she didn't see how much His Highness cared for her. Now she is not here Now, who will you show your depressed posture every day!"

Song Jingxin who said this was speechless, and after a long silence, he finally opened his mouth: "So you are blaming Ben Gong for the matter of the Crown Princess, I understand. Please take care of the baby, if you don't want to see Ben Gong, you don't need to come here every day Come to the palace, you go down."

Rongxiu blessed Fushen, but did not back down as she said.Song Jingxin closed her eyes and thought about something on her mind. She didn't see anything for a while, then she opened her eyes and looked at Rongxiu: "Why don't you leave, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness," Rongxiu took two steps forward, and knelt down two feet away from Song Jingxin, "It was not the Princess who let you go, but Your Highness, the whole East Palace is counting on you to cheer up..."
