Leaning on the railing Jiangyue

Imperial Concubine Chen was taken aback by his loud voice, she was startled and said: "Quick, get up quickly."

Xu Fengjin quickly thanked him, kowtowed on the ground again, and then slowly stood up. Seeing that he was a little swaying, Zhao Yu asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Xu Fengjin half clenched his fists and shook his head embarrassingly: "It's okay, it's okay, I kneeled a little harder."

His silly appearance made Concubine Chen hide her face and smile straight away, and said: "You don't need to perform this big ceremony in the future, just sit down soon." After looking at him carefully for a while, she nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhao Yu: "No wonder Yu I like it, he is a good-looking child."

Zhao Yu didn't say much, just asked her: "How is Mother Concubine's health recently?"

Concubine Chen Guifei said: "It's still the same. It's been cold these few days, and I have a little cough, but it's not a serious problem."

Zhao Yu said: "I'll call the imperial physician over to have a look, and prepare some medicine to relieve cough and moisten the lungs."

Concubine Chen said softly: "Yu'er don't have to worry, I will take care of her body." Then she looked at Xu Fengjin and said, "Jin...Jin'er has been in the capital for a few months, are you still used to it?"

Xu Fengjin said "hmm" twice and nodded repeatedly.

Concubine Chen said with a smile: "That's good. If there is something wrong, tell Yu'er in time, don't come from afar and treat yourself badly." Then she said a few more words, the warmth and warmth made people feel warm, and she really liked it. What Zhao Yu said was soft, elegant and pleasant, and what he said was all about asking his future daughter-in-law to come and meet her, without any intention of embarrassing her.

Xu Fengjin's back was straight, and he sat upright. He would answer whatever Imperial Concubine Chen asked, mostly about his childhood past, and knowing that his parents had died early, he couldn't help sighing, "It's really hard, Jin'er." He hurriedly said to Aunt Lin: "Quick, bring the gift I prepared."

Aunt Lin had already brought out the brocade box and was waiting by the side. At this time, she took it to Xu Fengjin and opened it. What she saw was a green, transparent and exquisitely carved Pisces ring lying on the yellow silk. Items, kept to give to daughter-in-law.

Xu Fengjin was a little embarrassed, looked at Zhao Yu as if asking, Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Mother Concubine's wish, please accept it." After getting permission, he quickly got up to take it, but he was afraid that his hands would be dirty , stretched his half-clenched fist into his bosom, and then took out a piece of cotton to wipe his hands before accepting the jade pendant to thank him.

Zhao Yu sat aside, skimming the tea foam, still chatting with Concubine Chen, but his eyes stayed on the piece of cotton silk in Xu Fengjin's hand, which was nothing special.

"Is it scheduled for worship on the day before the fifteenth day?" Concubine Chen asked.

Zhao Yu put down the tea bowl and said, "Yes, it's a good day."

Noble Concubine Chen nodded and said: "Then it will be here in two days, are the wedding dresses ready? Are you in a hurry?"

Zhao Yu said: "Everything is ready, mother and concubine don't have to worry."

Concubine Chen said "Yes", then sighed again: "Since you came out of the palace to become a knight, you can have wives and concubines as you like. We are not as good as ordinary people. Yu'er is married, and even a mother can't go out of the palace to do something for you." Thinking about it, she said, "By the way, Jin'er has no relatives in Beijing, where are we going to pick him up on his wedding day?"

Zhao Yu said: "The tentative inner house in the mansion."

Concubine Chen was a little surprised: "How can this be done, it's too unruly."

Zhao Yu said: "He and I already have a marriage certificate, so we don't have to stick to it."

Concubine Chen frowned slightly: "But the marriage is just this one time, how can it be a joke?" After thinking about it, she said: "I bought a house in Beijing a few years ago, and it was reserved for Aunt Lin to support her in the future. It’s been empty all the time, but you often send someone to clean it, it’s not far from your house, you can let Jin’er wait there for a night, and then you go to welcome him through the door, wouldn’t it be better?”

Zhao Yu took a sip of tea, but did not answer. Imperial Concubine Chen knew her son well and knew that he was unwilling, so she asked Xu Fengjin, who was always smiling, "What do you think, Jin'er?"

Xu Fengjin changed his rhetoric that he couldn't be separated for a while in the mansion, and said with a sly beard: "It's all up to mother, and mother can make arrangements."

The meeting and conversation were very happy this time, Xu Fengjin talked to each other, coaxing the imperial concubine Chen to be very happy, when Zhao Xu and Xu returned to the mansion, it was almost evening, as the day was short and cold, they walked all the way to the gate of the palace, and they felt faint chills After getting into the carriage, Zhao Yu suddenly bent over and lifted his right foot on his lap.

Xu Fengjin was shocked: "What are you doing?"

Without further ado, Zhao Yu took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and saw that his knees were red and swollen.

Xu Fengjin hurriedly wanted to pull his leg away, but Zhao Yu held his ankle tightly and couldn't move. He could only say indifferently, "I just kneeled a little harder, it's nothing serious."

Zhao Yu raised his hand to rub him lightly, and asked, "Why did you suddenly kneel down?"

Xu Fengjin laughed and said, "Of course it's because your concubine mother is nervous. Besides, if I kneel down to her first, she won't make things difficult for me."

Zhao Yu's eyes flickered, obviously he didn't believe it, so he asked directly: "What did you pick up at the concubine's place just now?"

"Ah?" Xu Fengjin was stunned for a moment, then said innocently, "I didn't find anything."

Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Zhao Yu didn't say anything more, just rubbed his two red and swollen knees for him, and went to the study when he returned home. No one came until dinner was served.

Xu Fengjin knew why he was like this. After deliberating for a long time, he set aside some food and went to the study room. Who would have thought that the door of the study room would be closed in his own courtyard, but it was locked behind it?He blinked, knocked on the door and called, "Yu Ling?"

No one in the house answered.

He knocked on the door again, but still no answer.

It happened that Cheng Qiao walked by, Xu Fengjin dragged him over and asked, "Your Highness is out?"

Seeing that he was still a little awkward, Cheng Qiao didn't know whether he should be honored as a concubine or as a younger brother, so he had to say stiffly: "No."

Xu Fengjin looked at the study room again, and with a flash of inspiration, he handed the food in Cheng Qiao's hands, and strolled to the stone table in the courtyard.

The stone table is facing the study window, the garden is not as luxuriant as in summer, but a bunch of early chrysanthemums are blooming, elegant and beautiful.Xu Fengjin pinned the hem of his robe to his belt, and walked cautiously into the bushes. When he got close to the paper window of the study, he tried to open the window, but it didn't move at all. Seeing that Zhao Yu was not by the desk, he stretched his hand into the room, opened the window bolt secretly, and turned inside.

The pen and ink on the table were still wet, and a fried fur fox with teeth and claws was drawn on the rice paper. It seemed that the painter was not in a good mood. This fox was obviously not as cute as the previous one. Xu Fengjin commented in his heart, and secretly kept this essay. The study room was not too big, he looked around, and saw a figure behind the screen, lying on the door and looking around, Xu Fengjin raised his eyebrows and tiptoed over.

Zhao Yu was indeed a little angry today, Xu Fengjin obviously had something to hide from him, and he was full of loopholes and still kept it hidden, he should be punished, if he doesn't give him some color, he really thinks that the king is kind and can be deceived, so he sent himself He shut himself in the study room and waited for Xu Fengjin to come to beg him, but the person came, shouted three and a half times and then there was no movement, Zhao Yu was annoyed, he poked open the paper window and looked around for a long time, how could there be anyone there?

Just as she was about to call Cheng Qiao to bring the quilt, and she would not go back to her room to sleep today, she heard someone laughing in her ear, "What is Yu Ling looking at? Tell me to take a look too?"

Prince Zhao was startled, turned around immediately, and said sternly, "When did you come in?"
