Chapter 207 The next set
Because Wang Ruyan was also pregnant, Lin Jinhua only felt that things were going in a good direction.
During the confinement period, Xu Chengqing and Baozhu finally came back, but this time Mongolia had a new Khan, and Batu succeeded him.
When the news came, there was also a letter written by A Baoxue. Although he was crooked, he could barely recognize it. It was mostly trivial matters, telling Lin Jinhua that she was doing well in Mongolia, so don't worry about it for the time being.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, now that my elder brother is protecting her, she has grown a lot, and I will come to Daqi later to greet my Majesty." Baozhu stood in front of Lin Jinhua, and changed into Daqi's clothes, a bamboo blue double-breasted long skirt , with a string of wreaths hanging around her waist, and with light makeup on her face, she looks thinner and more refined, her brows and eyes are full of heroism, less reckless than before, and more stable.
Lin Jinhua sat on the chair placed under the porch, and asked her to sit down too, and said with a slight smile, "It doesn't matter if she comes or not, as long as she is fine."
"Your Majesty is the strangest person I've ever seen." Baozhu couldn't help laughing, not afraid that Lin Jinhua might misunderstand, and she didn't need to be jealous. She just looked at the half of the yard that was still in the shade, and said, "Other people's house , you never cared much about your servants, let alone your empress, you treat them all like family members."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "Those people are my family." On the contrary, those people who are truly blood-related and noble, are not like individuals. She has experienced this, and she has long since cared about what the world thinks. She only loves what she thinks should be loved. people.
Baozhu just admired her kindness, and also laughed.
Not long after, I got milk and was brought in by the wet nurse. The little one was held in swaddling clothes, because more than a month had passed since the birth, and he had grown up a bit, and he was not as good as when he was just born. He looked so black and ugly when he came down, but he became more white and cute, he opened his eyes and babbled as if talking to someone, and all the people in the palace wanted to hug him every day.
Lin Jinhua took him into her arms, and naturally talked about Wang Ruyan's pregnancy: "Speaking of which, Yan'er is one year younger than you, Baozhu?"
Baozhu instantly understood what she meant, even if he was a bold person, he couldn't help but blush when he mentioned this matter, he only coughed a few times, and said: "This kind of matter is decided by God, there is no rush."
"It's really not in a hurry, but tomorrow I made an appointment with Yan'er and Zhao Zhao to go to Puji Temple to offer incense and recover. Are you free tomorrow?" Lin Jinhua said with a smile. so it is.
"Of course there are." Baozhu lowered her eyes shyly, deliberately turning her head away from Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua also laughed, and opened her mouth when she finished, making everyone else smile slightly.
In the afternoon, Baozhu went back first. It was a hot day in June, so Lin Jinhua asked someone to hug her and went to take a nap. She also changed into a light shirt and went to rest. As for Zhao Huaiyan, the eldest grandson Qiye When he came back, he asked Xu Chengqing to go hunting with Lin Jincheng, and he also brought grapes with him. Jiu'er was determined to study, so now he guards Su Jingxun all day long.
Su Jingxun looked at the little girl sleeping soundly on the table by the window, and slowly put down the book in her hand.
The sun in early summer began to heat up, and the cicadas resting on the trees began to chirp non-stop. Four or five eunuchs and maids held long bamboo poles in their hands, dipped them into net bags, and went to catch the noisy cicadas.
Su Jingxun didn't think it was noisy, he looked over from the window, and there happened to be a slightly hot wind blowing in, flipping the pages of the book on the table, Jiu'er was lying on the table, a white and fat arm was exposed, matched with her pink hair Du's little face is really like a snow-white lotus root, so cute.
The wind blew the leaves and just landed on Jiu'er's face, her little brows furrowed, Su Jingxun got up subconsciously and walked over to carefully prepare to take it away for her, unexpectedly she woke up in a daze , a pair of big eyes that had just woken up looked at him in confusion, and he didn't dare to move, so he kept a close posture.But in the next second, she smiled at herself: "Xiao Xun..."
Su Jingxun looked at her sweet smile, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and asked her in a slow voice, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah." Jiu'er nodded, jumped down from the stool, and saw the eunuchs and maids outside the window catching cicadas in full swing, first went to sip some tea, and then ran out to play with them.
Su Jingxun looked at her bouncing back, chuckled, put down the book for the first time, and followed her out.
Summer time seems to be lazy, passing slowly, with a hint of sweetness.
In the evening, Xu Chengqing hunted a wild boar and came back. At night, he asked the imperial dining room to sit. A group of people sat and ate together, and the eldest grandson Qiye seemed to be radiant. He lost the spirit of a young man, but he became more mature. .
Lin Zhenxi still had such an unrestrained temperament. When she saw Lin Jinhua when she came, she immediately pulled her and whispered: "Empress Empress, my grandmother asked me to bring this this time." After speaking, she took out a purse and gave it to her. Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua was a little surprised, opened it and saw a small jade pendant lying inside.
"This is?"
"My grandmother has been wearing this all the time. She said it was given to her by a master before, and now I have to pass it on to your empress." Lin Zhenxi said with a smile.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua also laughed and said, "Then I'll accept it."
Seeing her accepting it directly, Lin Zhenxi was very happy: "I was worried that my mother would refuse, but this jade pendant looks ordinary to me, but I can feel the warmth when I hold it in my hand. Jade can also keep out the cold in winter, and keep cool in summer, which is most suitable for you."
Lin Jinhua looked at the way she smiled and rolled her eyes, and suddenly became very interested in her grandmother, but now she can't travel far, Huaiyan's country can't be ignored, and it's still too young, if she wants to go, I'm afraid It will be several years later.
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more, just smiled and pulled her to sit down together, and began to prepare for the meal.
After sitting down, a group of people also saluted, but they were not so restrained. Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan sat at the top, and the others set up small tables at the bottom, with the maids serving in the middle shuttled back and forth.
Jiu'er Putao and Su Jingxun sat at the same table, the adults talked about the adults, and they said theirs.
"Brother, is hunting fun?" Jiu'er couldn't help asking.
"It's fun, I'll take you with me next time." Putao smiled immediately.
Jiu'er scooped a piece of meat into his mouth contentedly, and after he finished eating, he turned to look at Su Jingxun, who was eating elegantly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xun, let's go together next time."
Su Jingxun was actually resistant to hunting and other things. He couldn't see the light of a knife since he was a child, and he couldn't like to see blood.
He thought about it for a while, and only smiled lightly: "I won't go."
"why?"
"I prefer reading." Su Jingxun finished with a smile, seeing Jiu'er's disappointed expression, although he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't do it.When mother died, she vomited a large puddle of blood, and father galloped on the battlefield, but never cared about mother, so he hated everything that father was familiar with.
After he finished speaking, Jiu'er went to eat meat in a dull mood. She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have too much worry in her heart. She was unhappy for a while, and soon forgot about it.
After eating, Lin Zhenxi took them outside to play.
Lin Zhenxi herself has been naughty since she was a child, climbing trees, climbing walls and roofs, and playing with birds and cats. However, there are no birds in the palace in the evening, and she was thinking about the safety of her two little cats, so she only brought them with her. They went to the large empty courtyard to play some small games, and that was it, the two little ones were laughing and playing, until they left the palace in the middle of the night, the two little ones went to greet Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan, and went to see it just happened After waking up, I went back to my palace.
Putao and Jiu'er have now moved out of Lin Jinhua's palace, and live in the Liuyun Palace not far from her palace. Because they are young, they can play together, so they even sleep in the next room for the time being. of.
In the middle of the night, after Jiu'er washed up, while the guarding aunt was asleep, she sneaked into the grape house. The two of them sat in the corner with candles lit, and Putao also took out the fruit he had secretly hidden.
Because Jiu'er is too fat now, Lin Jinhua has started to consciously let her quit the habit of eating without restraint, especially in the middle of the night.
"Brother, you're so kind." Jiu'er took a bite of the crunchy fruit, and swallowed it in one gulp. The mouthful of juice, the sweet and sour pulp stimulated her taste buds and whetted her appetite. It's a big mouthful.
Seeing her like this, Putao laughed, and said fondly, "Sister, eat slowly, don't choke."
"En." Jiu'er nodded and took another big sip.
The two sat facing each other like this, watching Jiu'er eat a small fruit in his stomach.
Although she was still full of ideas, the grapes were gone, and the snacks in the temple had already been removed.
Jiu'er sighed softly in his heart, after all he went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Jinhua got up early and packed up to go to Puji Temple.
Jiu'er and Su Jingxun also went with them. As for Putao, he went to study obediently after getting up early, and Lin Jinhua didn't take him with him, and stayed in the palace when he died.
Jiu'er and Lin Jinhua were sitting in a carriage. She lay obediently in Lin Jinhua's arms and looked out the window. Seeing the bustle and voices outside, she thought she was excited, and her little face was flushed.
"Mother, can Jiu'er come out more often in the future?" Jiu'er asked longingly.
"Of course I can, but..." Lin Jinhua smiled and narrowed her eyes, ready to be tricked.
"But what?" Jiu'er wanted to jump into her trap impatiently. Lin Jinhua's little fat fish was going to take the bait, so naturally she wouldn't be stingy, why? What if they take you away? They won’t give you food and fun when they take you away, and they ask you to sweep the floor and chop firewood every day, so my mother is really worried.”
Jiu'er was stunned: "Really?"
"Yeah, hey, if you are like Mo Xue, you can learn kung fu, so that bad guys can't catch you, you can come out to play if you want, and eat whatever you want..." Lin Jinhua looked regretful When Jiu'er heard this, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Then let Aunt Xue teach Jiu'er Kung Fu, so Jiu'er doesn't have to worry about being taken away?"
Lin Jinzheng looked at this little chubby girl, her heart was full of joy, but her face was still full of doubts: "But learning martial arts is very hard, mother is worried that you won't be able to persist, good boy, you should just stay in the palace every day and forget it..."
Before she finished speaking, a smell of food wafted in from outside. This was Lin Jinhua's special order to pass through Yunguifang. This whole street is full of food sellers.
Jiu'er's greedy worms popped up in an instant, she was heartbroken, and said: "Mother, don't worry, Jiu'er is not afraid of hardship, Jiu'er can persevere!"
"really?"
"Really!" Jiu'er gritted her teeth, anyway, she didn't know how hard it is to learn martial arts, but she knew how delicious the food outside was!
After saying that, there was another lively sound outside, she immediately leaned on the window and looked out, there seemed to be people juggling in the distance, there were storytellers, and toy sellers...
Jiu'er was fascinated by the sight, and when she arrived at Puji Temple, her little heart was still thumping. When she got off the carriage, she grabbed Mo Xue and showed her her determination to learn martial arts.
Mo Xue still felt strange: "Didn't the princess not want to learn before?"
Lin Jinhua coughed lightly and looked at her with a smile. Only then did she realize that she probably played a trick on Jiu'er.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the wine that was looking forward to her, and said: "Of course it is possible, but the servant is worried that the princess will not be able to persist."
Although Jiu'er is young, she still has a temper. They mistrusted her again and again, the more stubborn she became, and she said directly: "Don't worry, Aunt Xue, I will persist, otherwise...or I will Become a little pig!" She vowed, her eyes full of determination.
Wang Ruyan and the others looked at each other, and they all smiled. Su Jingxun just came over and asked her, "What makes you a pig?"
Jiu'er threw herself into Mo Xue's arms in shame, and then looked at her expectantly.
Seeing that she said this, Mo Xue naturally agreed. Anyway, Putao is also very interested recently, so she can teach them first, and they can use it for self-defense in the future.
A group of people talked and laughed, and soon went to Puji Temple.
The abbot of Puji Temple has long been changed, and the newly-appointed abbot master looked equally benevolent, and welcomed them to the main hall. After speaking, Lin Jinhua let the abbot go on, and led a group of people in the peach blossom garden behind Puji Temple. Lin is sitting.
There is a big grassy slope here, and she used to come here for outings, but now there is no need for outings, but in June, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the mountain flowers are in full bloom. It is also a good place to rest and relax.
They found a place deep in the peach grove, and asked someone to set up tables and chairs. The group sat down together to drink tea, listen to the piano and enjoy the peach blossoms. They were very comfortable, and after Su Jingxun whispered a few words to Lin Jinhua, he also left up.
When he left, Jiu'er was tasting the delicious vegetarian food in the temple, and when he realized it, Su Jingxun had disappeared.
"Where's Xiao Xun?" She quietly pulled Xiao Ling and asked.
"Mr. Su said that the people from the Dingbeihou Mansion have come to pray for blessings today, and they are going to pay their respects." Xiao Ling laughed.Although Niangniang came to the mountain, she did not clear the mountain, so ordinary people can also come.
As soon as he heard about the people in Dingbeihou's Mansion, Jiu'er remembered that he hadn't been able to go to Dingbeihou's Mansion before, and couldn't help but said: "Aunt Ling, let's go find Xiao Xun."
"But..." Xiao Ling glanced at her worriedly, but Jiu'er slipped down from the chair, pulled her and whispered, "I'll just play with Xiao Xun, I won't cause trouble."
Since Xiaoling is usually well-behaved and sensible, and she is very close to herself, thinking that there are guards following her in the dark, she smiled and said, "Then wait a moment, slave."
Jiu'er nodded immediately, unexpectedly, Xiaoling turned around and asked Lin Jinhua.
Seeing her daughter's eager eyes, Lin Jinhua couldn't help but said, "There are many people on the mountain with mixed eyes, so you should be more careful."
"Yes." Xiaoling could see Lin Jinhua's trust in her, and immediately stepped forward to hold Jiu'er's hand and went out, but she didn't know that Su Jingxun didn't want them to come here at the moment.
Outside the side hall on the side of the Daxiong Palace, Mrs. Dingbeihou’s lady is wearing an emerald green embroidered long dress. The skirt is very gorgeous, with tiny pieces of jade hanging on the skirt. Walking in the sun, it is dazzling and very luxurious. Grace, coupled with the thick makeup on the face, from a distance, she is only a 20-year-old woman, and it is completely impossible to tell that she has given birth to two daughters.
She looked at Su Jingxun standing quietly in front of her, she couldn't tell the glaring, she just smiled and said: "Why didn't you serve in front of the empress? Didn't you come to me to make the empress misunderstand that I am more noble than the empress?"
Su Jingxun's face was indifferent, and he didn't even want to look at her, but he just said politely: "Jingxun didn't dare, but he just knew that his mother was coming, so he came here to pay her respects, and the empress also agreed."
"Greetings to me?" Mrs. Hou smiled faintly, glanced at the woman beside her, and said, "What about Simeng, this little girl is still very timid even at the age of four, and now her brother has deliberately found an excuse to come here Look at her, she doesn't even know to come out and see her?"
The mother-in-law also laughed, glanced at Su Jingxun, and then hurriedly said: "Just now I heard that Miss Si accidentally fell, now I don't know where to hide and cry."
Su Jingxun clenched his fist slightly, but he is not qualified to say anything yet.
Mrs. Hou continued: "It's no wonder she is, Lord Hou has been fighting outside these few years, unlike my two daughters, who followed Master Hou to fight north and south with me, and have already developed a good temper."
Su Jingxun's face became even more serious, does he still have the face to say it?The reason why my mother died in depression was not all because of this woman, after becoming her father's concubine, she would send letters from time to time to make her angry with her!Now that her natal family has made a fortune, and she has fulfilled her wish and become a house filler, do you really think that she has climbed a branch and become a phoenix?
He raised his eyes to look at her coldly: "Simeng is a daughter of the first wife, if something happened, why didn't you invite a doctor?"
"Eldest son, you have wronged our wife. Although our wife is filling in the house, she doesn't do her best when she treats you brothers and sisters, and thinks of you everywhere. I'm afraid that if you feel uncomfortable, you will say such ungrateful words and call outsiders I heard that, I really think our wife is such a heartless and ungrateful person." The woman immediately said in a strange way.
There was a servant who couldn't see it, and wanted to persuade him, but was immediately turned back indifferently by Mrs. Na Hou.
Su Jingxun knew that he was no longer a dignified master in the Dingbeihou Mansion, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he said calmly: "In that case, I'll go and see Simeng..."
"Brother, why is he so biased? The fourth sister is your sister, so we are not?"
A arrogant female voice came, and Su Jingxun didn't need to look back, she also knew that it was the daughter from this house filling. She was six years old this year and had the same mean temper as her mother, but there was still a five-year-old girl left, who was as big as Simeng, but Much milder.
He looked back and saw her walking in a gorgeous pink dress, followed by her limping younger sister Su Simeng with red eyes.
As soon as Su Simeng saw him, she was about to trot over immediately, but the maid next to her deliberately stretched out her foot and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground again, breaking her jaw.
But even so, she ruthlessly held back her tears, until Su Jingxun came to help her up, and then she lay in his arms and began to cry softly.
Su Jingxun felt distressed, but what can he do?He beating and scolding these servants now will only make them hate my sister even more.
He once thought about not going to the palace, but if he didn't go to the palace again, Mrs. Hou might think less of their brothers and sisters even more.Her father is away all day long, her grandfathers have passed away long ago, and she is the only one left in control of the Hou Mansion...
Thinking of this, he endured all the grievances. Unexpectedly, the servant girl opened her mouth: "Oh, Miss Fourth, why are you stepping on the servant girl? Now that you have fallen, you have to blame the servant girl?"
Mrs. Hou's family watched and sneered from above, and when Jiu'er happened to see this scene, she trotted over.
"Xiao Xun, what's the matter?" she asked anxiously.
"Who are you?" The maid was so arrogant that she saw Jiu'er approaching and asked immediately.
When Xiaoling came running after her, she immediately snorted coldly: "You are so brave, you know this is the eldest princess!"
The maid was slightly taken aback, Madam Hou also managed to remember that this is the Princess Jiu'er she had seen before, hurriedly came over to salute, and said: "I don't know the princess is here, please forgive me."
Jiu'er had never seen these things before, and he didn't know what schemes they were playing, so he just said, "Why are you crying, sister?"
"She fell by herself and cried in pain." After Madam Hou finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the maid, and said coldly, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you send Miss back to rest!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Jiu'er only brought a maid, the maid didn't pay attention to her who was only two years old, and immediately wanted to go up and take Su Simeng away, but Su Simeng held Su Jingxun tightly. The sleeve refused to let go, until the maid quietly twisted her arm hard, and the pain was so painful that she had to let go.
Su Jingxun wanted to stop her, but Jiu'er was only two years old, and he couldn't help her when she came, and he didn't want to involve her in his family's affairs, so he just gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but Jiu'er said: "You take her lay down."
The servant girl was taken aback, pretending she didn't hear clearly, she continued to hold Su Simeng to leave, and then she heard Jiu'er say, "I tell you to put her down." Jiu'er was a little anxious, although she didn't understand their thoughts, but She could tell that Xiao Xun was in a hurry, that young lady was very sad, and these grown-ups were so eccentric and annoying!
Xiaoling heard the words, and immediately said: "How dare you disobey the princess's oral order, don't you want to live!"
The maid then stopped and turned to look at Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou also frowned slightly, seeing that Jiu'er was still young, she just stepped forward and smiled and said, "Little princess, what's wrong with you? Are you worried that Simeng will be injured? Don't worry, we are going to take her to see a doctor." .”
Jiu'er was dubious, turned his head to look at Xiao Xun, saw that his brows were still furrowed, and said resolutely: "I brought the imperial physician, and I will take her to see the imperial physician later."
"This……"
"The princess's proposal, Madam Hou, don't you think it's not good?" Xiaoling also saw that something was wrong, thinking that Mr. Su was quite popular with the empress in the palace, and now it's not a big deal. What he can't handle is nothing to the empress. In a word, I will naturally help with this favor.
"Of course not." Mrs. Hou glanced at her daughter secretly, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go over and say hello to the empress together, Xiao Xun, what do you think?"
Su Jingxun knew that she was worried that she would talk nonsense in front of the empress, and because she cared about her younger sister, she naturally agreed, and quickly hugged Su Simeng over.
Soon, the group went to Taolin.
After arriving, Madam Hou's daughter Su Yumei was stunned at the sight of Lin Jinhua's silk and satin. The clothes and jewelry were better than the best materials she had ever seen in the Hou Mansion.
She looked at the wine in front of her again, walked up deliberately and smiled at her: "Little princess, let's walk hand in hand, the ground is slippery, so as not to fall."
"No need." For some reason, Jiu'er just didn't like her, so she stretched out her hand, so she didn't bother to take care of it.
Su Yumei was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that the majestic princess would not even give her face.
Soon a few people arrived in front of Lin Jinhua. Lin Jinhua had already reported the incident to the hidden guards who had come earlier. When he saw them coming, he just smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Long, take Miss Su to see the imperial physician."
"Yes." Xiaolong immediately stepped forward to take the frightened little girl from Su Jingxun's hand, and left.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Hou hurriedly led Su Yumei to the front and said with a smile: "My wife has seen the empress."
"Yumei has also met the Empress Empress, I wish her will always be so young and beautiful, and always be favored by the Emperor." Su Yumei said specially.
Lin Jinhua saw that she was looking at her with her small face raised to look cute and innocent, raised her brows slightly, and smiled slightly: "Are you the second lady of the Su family?"
Seeing that she knew it, Su Yumei was even happier, and took another step forward before raising the corners of her eyes and said happily and proudly: "Yes, I didn't expect the empress to know, the empress is indeed the smartest person in the world just like the rumors. people."
Lin Jinhua looked at her words as flattery, even though she knew that at her age, she might not be very clear about what she was doing, but she must have been taught by someone's precepts and deeds, and regarded it as the code of conduct.When they meet someone who is nobler than themselves, they praise them, and when they meet someone who is slightly inferior to them, they step down. For example, when they come over, their mother and daughter just glance at Xu Zhaozhao who is sitting on the side.
Coincidentally, Wang Ruyan and Baozhu just got back from picking peach blossoms, and when they approached, Mrs. Hou greeted them with a smile, and chatted with them intimately.
Before Xu Zhaozhao thought about it, he felt that Su Yumei was good-looking and well-spoken, so he smiled and said, "Why do you always praise the empress and not me?"
"Who are you?" Su Yumei asked her a little arrogantly.
Xu Zhaozhao: "..."
Although she doesn't often socialize among these ladies, even now she is wearing a woman's bun and sitting beside the queen, so she is her elder.
Xu Zhaozhao was a little unhappy, and said directly: "I am not as noble as Mrs. Hou..."
In the middle of her speech, Su Yumei said with a smile: "You don't have to belittle yourself, even if you are not as good as the Hou's Mansion, it will not be too bad. After all, you are sitting next to the empress."
Lin Zhenxi sat beside Xu Zhaozhao, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "This is Mrs. Yuan."
"Who is Mrs. Yuan? I haven't heard of it." Su Yumei didn't even glance at Lin Zhenxi, and saw that she was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress. Although the material was good, she looked like a girl next door. Half of Lin Jinzheng's imposing manner said that the empress was careless, and even the few maids around her were expensive. These two might have been maids.
Xu Zhaozhao was completely speechless, and Lin Jinhua was also laughing, unexpectedly, there are still such ignorant people in the capital.
Seeing Lin Jinhua smiling, Su Yumei thought she was admiring herself, and said with a sweeter smile: "Empress, do you like rouge made of peach blossoms? Yumei has recently learned how to make rouge from her master. Many wives have agreed, how about I'll give you some from Yumei. And the little princess, I saw that she's a little fat today, I'll make some medicine for her later..."
"You still use medicine?" Lin Jinhua interrupted her.
What Su Yumei was waiting for was her words, and hurriedly said: "I have had medical treatment with Mrs. Hu in the palace, and Mrs. Hu praised Yumei as very talented. Of course, Yumei is still not as good as the empress. If the empress can give me some advice If so..." She thought to herself, if she could use this to get in touch with the empress, would she still need to worry about Su Jingxun living in the palace in the future?At that time, she can also live in it, and then become a princess princess...
Before she finished thinking, Lin Jinhua smiled and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time."
"But the lady is free to come and enjoy the peach blossoms!" Su Yumei said anxiously. Hearing this, Lin Jinhua was sure that she was a spoiled and stupid little girl, so she didn't have the heart to listen to her anymore, and only looked up at Su Jingxun : "The little girl just now is your sister?"
"Yes, my name is Su Simeng." Su Jingxun stepped forward to salute.
When Lin Jinhua heard about it just now, she thought of her former self, without her mother, and letting the people in the house humiliate her.
She saw Jiu'er who was still a little uncomfortable again, and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, what do you think should be done?"
When Jiu'er heard the words, she was also ignorant, what should she do?She didn't think about it, she just didn't want them to take that young lady away.
Seeing that she ignored her, Su Yumei's complexion became a little ugly. She was always praised and praised by people since she was a child. Everyone said that she was smart and a genius, so how could she ignore herself.
She gritted her teeth and interjected deliberately: "Actually, Simeng's injuries are minor injuries, nothing serious, it's just her hypocrisy."
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, seeing that she was a little impatient: "The princess has her own judgment."
"But the princess is still young..."
"What's wrong with being young?" Lin Jinhua asked her back, she didn't want their dirty tricks to be used on her daughter.
Su Yumei wanted to say more, Mrs. Hou had already sensed something was wrong, she hurried over and said with a smile: "Madam, Yumei is still young, did she say something wrong that made you unhappy?"
Lin Jinhua saw that her attitude was not bad, and she came here for fun today, so she didn't want to care about it, so she just said, "That's all."
"Thank you, ma'am. However, Yumei has been spoiled by her courtiers since she was a child. She has a straight temper, but she is not bad-hearted, and everyone says she is smart. Now she has learned a lot of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It’s not worse than Jing Xun, and Jing Xun is getting older, so it’s not as convenient as Yu Mei’s coming in the palace, empress, if you think about it, if you let Jing Xun come back, let Yu Mei go to the palace to study with you.” Hou Madam quietly looked at Lin Jinhua and smiled.
Lin Jinhua looked at her eyes that were constantly calculating her, and felt it was funny. She thought that she had already reached this point, and these people would not calculate herself, but she didn't expect that there were still so many greedy people.
She glanced at the nervous Su Jingxun, then at Jiu'er, who was frowning, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is beautiful, her status is precious, and it was Mrs. Hou who grew up holding her in the palm of her hand..."
Lin Jinhua boasted slowly, and Su Yumei became proud again, and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm so good..."
"However." Lin Jinhua interrupted her and said, "You are such an honorable person, how can I invite you into the palace to accompany the prince and princess?"
Su Yumei didn't hear the meaning in the words at all, and thought it was a compliment, she became more and more happy: "It's okay, I don't mind..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Hou could see that Lin Jinhua didn't like her daughter at all.
Seeing this, Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Yes, after all, even my little Mrs. Yuan and Princess Mu don't pay attention to me. How dare you trouble me, a little prince and princess?"
When Mrs. Hou heard this, she immediately realized that the ordinary and unknown people sitting here were actually Mrs. Yuan and Princess Mu!
Su Yumei was also stunned. Seeing their mother and daughter, Jiu'er tugged on Su Jingxun's sleeves and asked her innocently, "Why are they so stupid?"
Su Jingxun was startled when he heard this, and then smiled slightly.
Lin Jinhua didn't want to do anything to Dingbeihou's mansion, after all, Dingbeihou still had great military exploits.
She just said: "Madam Hou is tired after standing with Miss Su for so long, please come and give me a seat."
"Don't dare to ask your mother to give you a seat." Madam Hou knew that she had offended someone, so she dared to be a little arrogant, Su Yumei also kept silent until Su Simeng was brought here.
The little girl was too skinny, limping, and her chin was medicated.When Xiao Ling came, there was anger in her eyes, but she had been in the palace for a long time, but she didn't show it. After coming over, she just said: "Madam, the imperial doctor said it was just a scratch, it's not too serious, it's just that the injury on the leg hurts. Bones, if you don't take a good rest, you will be lame in the future."
When Xiaoling said this, Mrs. Hou's face turned pale.
Su Jingxun clenched his fists tightly, but what can he do?After his mother's death, his grandfather's family also disappeared. He himself was too young to live in a separate family, and his sister still had to stay in the Hou's mansion after all.
Seeing him like this, Jiu'er looked at Su Simeng who was standing beside him holding back his tears, and finally said to Lin Jinhua: "Mother, my brother has Xiao Xun to accompany me, so Jiu'er wants it too."
When Su Yumei heard it, she thought she was referring to her, and said happily, "Don't worry, Madam, if Yumei can enter the palace, she will definitely assist the little princess in learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as medicine, and making rouge..."
Jiu'er gave her a puzzled look, then walked to Su Simeng's side, took her hand, and said to Lin Jinhua, "I want her to accompany me."
Su Yumei was stunned: "Princess, what do you choose her to do, she can't do anything but cry, she's just a waste, she can't bear it if you let her go to the palace!"
Su Simeng was timid, hearing the words, she lowered her head with low self-esteem and dared not speak out, but held back her tears and did not cry out.
Jiu'er didn't like Su Yumei more and more. As soon as she lost her temper, she glared at her and said, "It's none of your business who I choose!"
"I……"
"I hate it! Hmph!" Jiu'er made a face at her, then pulled Su Simeng and said to Lin Jinhua, "Mother, I want her!"
Su Jingxun looked at her who was protecting her sister like a little soldier, her thoughts were deep, and there was a smile in her eyes.
Lin Jinhua looked at Jiu'er's insistence, and laughed: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, Jiu'er must study hard!" Jiu'er gritted his teeth.
Lin Jinhua counted with her fingers: "You must practice martial arts and study hard. After you return to the palace, you won't be able to play around every day."
Jiu'er's heart trembled, but he endured it and said, "No problem!"
Xu Zhaozhao saw that she was the one who liked to play the most, and followed him: "Sister Hua'er, you just promise the princess, anyway, there is no one in the palace to play, maybe with Miss Su around, the princess doesn't have to think about it all day long." Run outside the palace, right?"
Jiu'er felt that she was trying to trick her, but at this moment, of course she had to nod.
Lin Jinhua finally laughed: "Okay, Jing Xun, you can go back with Miss Su to pack some clothes in person later..." Lin Jinhua was halfway through speaking, seeing the dim eyes of Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter, she changed her words again: "That's all, little girl Ling, you go and run yourself."
"Yes." Xiao Ling was the one who admired the empress the most, so she immediately agreed.
The faces of Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter can be said to be very ugly, and Lin Jinhua didn't intend to do anything to them. She just sent them down and let Su Jingxun go down with wine and Su Simeng.
After the few of them left, Baozhu said: "It seems that when these people grow up, it will be another storm."
Lin Jinhua understood what she meant. When they grow up, it will be ten years later. The forces will slowly form factions again because of the marriage of their children. Fortunately, there will be no competition for the throne among the princes. She is sure that she can Teach well, it's just that Putao, who is about to ascend the throne, will have a headache.
She smiled, after all, it will be more than ten years later, it is useless to think about it now, just continue to listen to the piano and enjoy the flowers.
But after Su Jingxun took Su Simeng to the gazebo near Taolin, he let her sit by the porch and apologized: "Meng'er, it's my brother who didn't take good care of you."
"Don't blame brother." Su Simeng shook her head with red eyes.
Jiu'er followed at the side, stepped forward and pulled Su Jingxun and said, "Xiao Xun, don't be sad."
Su Jingxun looked at her now, looked at her big and bright eyes full of seriousness and bravery, and felt that he was forcing her to be seven or eight years older, but she was still not as good as her.
He chuckled: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, just play with me forever." Jiu'er squinted his eyes and smiled, but Su Jingxun was taken aback. After the new year, he will be eleven. He already vaguely knows the weight of some words up.But he knew that Jiu'er didn't know anything, she was not yet three years old, and she was just a naive and innocent little girl.
Thinking of this, he took off the jade pendant he had been wearing on his chest and gave it to her, saying: "Give it to you, this is a promise, this jade is not broken, I will always be with you."
Jiu'er blinked, looked at Yu in puzzlement, and saw that Su Simeng also had a piece on his neck, and happily accepted it, but he didn't know that it would cause such unforgettable waves in the future.
(End of this chapter)
Because Wang Ruyan was also pregnant, Lin Jinhua only felt that things were going in a good direction.
During the confinement period, Xu Chengqing and Baozhu finally came back, but this time Mongolia had a new Khan, and Batu succeeded him.
When the news came, there was also a letter written by A Baoxue. Although he was crooked, he could barely recognize it. It was mostly trivial matters, telling Lin Jinhua that she was doing well in Mongolia, so don't worry about it for the time being.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, now that my elder brother is protecting her, she has grown a lot, and I will come to Daqi later to greet my Majesty." Baozhu stood in front of Lin Jinhua, and changed into Daqi's clothes, a bamboo blue double-breasted long skirt , with a string of wreaths hanging around her waist, and with light makeup on her face, she looks thinner and more refined, her brows and eyes are full of heroism, less reckless than before, and more stable.
Lin Jinhua sat on the chair placed under the porch, and asked her to sit down too, and said with a slight smile, "It doesn't matter if she comes or not, as long as she is fine."
"Your Majesty is the strangest person I've ever seen." Baozhu couldn't help laughing, not afraid that Lin Jinhua might misunderstand, and she didn't need to be jealous. She just looked at the half of the yard that was still in the shade, and said, "Other people's house , you never cared much about your servants, let alone your empress, you treat them all like family members."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "Those people are my family." On the contrary, those people who are truly blood-related and noble, are not like individuals. She has experienced this, and she has long since cared about what the world thinks. She only loves what she thinks should be loved. people.
Baozhu just admired her kindness, and also laughed.
Not long after, I got milk and was brought in by the wet nurse. The little one was held in swaddling clothes, because more than a month had passed since the birth, and he had grown up a bit, and he was not as good as when he was just born. He looked so black and ugly when he came down, but he became more white and cute, he opened his eyes and babbled as if talking to someone, and all the people in the palace wanted to hug him every day.
Lin Jinhua took him into her arms, and naturally talked about Wang Ruyan's pregnancy: "Speaking of which, Yan'er is one year younger than you, Baozhu?"
Baozhu instantly understood what she meant, even if he was a bold person, he couldn't help but blush when he mentioned this matter, he only coughed a few times, and said: "This kind of matter is decided by God, there is no rush."
"It's really not in a hurry, but tomorrow I made an appointment with Yan'er and Zhao Zhao to go to Puji Temple to offer incense and recover. Are you free tomorrow?" Lin Jinhua said with a smile. so it is.
"Of course there are." Baozhu lowered her eyes shyly, deliberately turning her head away from Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua also laughed, and opened her mouth when she finished, making everyone else smile slightly.
In the afternoon, Baozhu went back first. It was a hot day in June, so Lin Jinhua asked someone to hug her and went to take a nap. She also changed into a light shirt and went to rest. As for Zhao Huaiyan, the eldest grandson Qiye When he came back, he asked Xu Chengqing to go hunting with Lin Jincheng, and he also brought grapes with him. Jiu'er was determined to study, so now he guards Su Jingxun all day long.
Su Jingxun looked at the little girl sleeping soundly on the table by the window, and slowly put down the book in her hand.
The sun in early summer began to heat up, and the cicadas resting on the trees began to chirp non-stop. Four or five eunuchs and maids held long bamboo poles in their hands, dipped them into net bags, and went to catch the noisy cicadas.
Su Jingxun didn't think it was noisy, he looked over from the window, and there happened to be a slightly hot wind blowing in, flipping the pages of the book on the table, Jiu'er was lying on the table, a white and fat arm was exposed, matched with her pink hair Du's little face is really like a snow-white lotus root, so cute.
The wind blew the leaves and just landed on Jiu'er's face, her little brows furrowed, Su Jingxun got up subconsciously and walked over to carefully prepare to take it away for her, unexpectedly she woke up in a daze , a pair of big eyes that had just woken up looked at him in confusion, and he didn't dare to move, so he kept a close posture.But in the next second, she smiled at herself: "Xiao Xun..."
Su Jingxun looked at her sweet smile, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and asked her in a slow voice, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah." Jiu'er nodded, jumped down from the stool, and saw the eunuchs and maids outside the window catching cicadas in full swing, first went to sip some tea, and then ran out to play with them.
Su Jingxun looked at her bouncing back, chuckled, put down the book for the first time, and followed her out.
Summer time seems to be lazy, passing slowly, with a hint of sweetness.
In the evening, Xu Chengqing hunted a wild boar and came back. At night, he asked the imperial dining room to sit. A group of people sat and ate together, and the eldest grandson Qiye seemed to be radiant. He lost the spirit of a young man, but he became more mature. .
Lin Zhenxi still had such an unrestrained temperament. When she saw Lin Jinhua when she came, she immediately pulled her and whispered: "Empress Empress, my grandmother asked me to bring this this time." After speaking, she took out a purse and gave it to her. Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua was a little surprised, opened it and saw a small jade pendant lying inside.
"This is?"
"My grandmother has been wearing this all the time. She said it was given to her by a master before, and now I have to pass it on to your empress." Lin Zhenxi said with a smile.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua also laughed and said, "Then I'll accept it."
Seeing her accepting it directly, Lin Zhenxi was very happy: "I was worried that my mother would refuse, but this jade pendant looks ordinary to me, but I can feel the warmth when I hold it in my hand. Jade can also keep out the cold in winter, and keep cool in summer, which is most suitable for you."
Lin Jinhua looked at the way she smiled and rolled her eyes, and suddenly became very interested in her grandmother, but now she can't travel far, Huaiyan's country can't be ignored, and it's still too young, if she wants to go, I'm afraid It will be several years later.
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more, just smiled and pulled her to sit down together, and began to prepare for the meal.
After sitting down, a group of people also saluted, but they were not so restrained. Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan sat at the top, and the others set up small tables at the bottom, with the maids serving in the middle shuttled back and forth.
Jiu'er Putao and Su Jingxun sat at the same table, the adults talked about the adults, and they said theirs.
"Brother, is hunting fun?" Jiu'er couldn't help asking.
"It's fun, I'll take you with me next time." Putao smiled immediately.
Jiu'er scooped a piece of meat into his mouth contentedly, and after he finished eating, he turned to look at Su Jingxun, who was eating elegantly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xun, let's go together next time."
Su Jingxun was actually resistant to hunting and other things. He couldn't see the light of a knife since he was a child, and he couldn't like to see blood.
He thought about it for a while, and only smiled lightly: "I won't go."
"why?"
"I prefer reading." Su Jingxun finished with a smile, seeing Jiu'er's disappointed expression, although he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't do it.When mother died, she vomited a large puddle of blood, and father galloped on the battlefield, but never cared about mother, so he hated everything that father was familiar with.
After he finished speaking, Jiu'er went to eat meat in a dull mood. She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have too much worry in her heart. She was unhappy for a while, and soon forgot about it.
After eating, Lin Zhenxi took them outside to play.
Lin Zhenxi herself has been naughty since she was a child, climbing trees, climbing walls and roofs, and playing with birds and cats. However, there are no birds in the palace in the evening, and she was thinking about the safety of her two little cats, so she only brought them with her. They went to the large empty courtyard to play some small games, and that was it, the two little ones were laughing and playing, until they left the palace in the middle of the night, the two little ones went to greet Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan, and went to see it just happened After waking up, I went back to my palace.
Putao and Jiu'er have now moved out of Lin Jinhua's palace, and live in the Liuyun Palace not far from her palace. Because they are young, they can play together, so they even sleep in the next room for the time being. of.
In the middle of the night, after Jiu'er washed up, while the guarding aunt was asleep, she sneaked into the grape house. The two of them sat in the corner with candles lit, and Putao also took out the fruit he had secretly hidden.
Because Jiu'er is too fat now, Lin Jinhua has started to consciously let her quit the habit of eating without restraint, especially in the middle of the night.
"Brother, you're so kind." Jiu'er took a bite of the crunchy fruit, and swallowed it in one gulp. The mouthful of juice, the sweet and sour pulp stimulated her taste buds and whetted her appetite. It's a big mouthful.
Seeing her like this, Putao laughed, and said fondly, "Sister, eat slowly, don't choke."
"En." Jiu'er nodded and took another big sip.
The two sat facing each other like this, watching Jiu'er eat a small fruit in his stomach.
Although she was still full of ideas, the grapes were gone, and the snacks in the temple had already been removed.
Jiu'er sighed softly in his heart, after all he went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Jinhua got up early and packed up to go to Puji Temple.
Jiu'er and Su Jingxun also went with them. As for Putao, he went to study obediently after getting up early, and Lin Jinhua didn't take him with him, and stayed in the palace when he died.
Jiu'er and Lin Jinhua were sitting in a carriage. She lay obediently in Lin Jinhua's arms and looked out the window. Seeing the bustle and voices outside, she thought she was excited, and her little face was flushed.
"Mother, can Jiu'er come out more often in the future?" Jiu'er asked longingly.
"Of course I can, but..." Lin Jinhua smiled and narrowed her eyes, ready to be tricked.
"But what?" Jiu'er wanted to jump into her trap impatiently. Lin Jinhua's little fat fish was going to take the bait, so naturally she wouldn't be stingy, why? What if they take you away? They won’t give you food and fun when they take you away, and they ask you to sweep the floor and chop firewood every day, so my mother is really worried.”
Jiu'er was stunned: "Really?"
"Yeah, hey, if you are like Mo Xue, you can learn kung fu, so that bad guys can't catch you, you can come out to play if you want, and eat whatever you want..." Lin Jinhua looked regretful When Jiu'er heard this, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Then let Aunt Xue teach Jiu'er Kung Fu, so Jiu'er doesn't have to worry about being taken away?"
Lin Jinzheng looked at this little chubby girl, her heart was full of joy, but her face was still full of doubts: "But learning martial arts is very hard, mother is worried that you won't be able to persist, good boy, you should just stay in the palace every day and forget it..."
Before she finished speaking, a smell of food wafted in from outside. This was Lin Jinhua's special order to pass through Yunguifang. This whole street is full of food sellers.
Jiu'er's greedy worms popped up in an instant, she was heartbroken, and said: "Mother, don't worry, Jiu'er is not afraid of hardship, Jiu'er can persevere!"
"really?"
"Really!" Jiu'er gritted her teeth, anyway, she didn't know how hard it is to learn martial arts, but she knew how delicious the food outside was!
After saying that, there was another lively sound outside, she immediately leaned on the window and looked out, there seemed to be people juggling in the distance, there were storytellers, and toy sellers...
Jiu'er was fascinated by the sight, and when she arrived at Puji Temple, her little heart was still thumping. When she got off the carriage, she grabbed Mo Xue and showed her her determination to learn martial arts.
Mo Xue still felt strange: "Didn't the princess not want to learn before?"
Lin Jinhua coughed lightly and looked at her with a smile. Only then did she realize that she probably played a trick on Jiu'er.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the wine that was looking forward to her, and said: "Of course it is possible, but the servant is worried that the princess will not be able to persist."
Although Jiu'er is young, she still has a temper. They mistrusted her again and again, the more stubborn she became, and she said directly: "Don't worry, Aunt Xue, I will persist, otherwise...or I will Become a little pig!" She vowed, her eyes full of determination.
Wang Ruyan and the others looked at each other, and they all smiled. Su Jingxun just came over and asked her, "What makes you a pig?"
Jiu'er threw herself into Mo Xue's arms in shame, and then looked at her expectantly.
Seeing that she said this, Mo Xue naturally agreed. Anyway, Putao is also very interested recently, so she can teach them first, and they can use it for self-defense in the future.
A group of people talked and laughed, and soon went to Puji Temple.
The abbot of Puji Temple has long been changed, and the newly-appointed abbot master looked equally benevolent, and welcomed them to the main hall. After speaking, Lin Jinhua let the abbot go on, and led a group of people in the peach blossom garden behind Puji Temple. Lin is sitting.
There is a big grassy slope here, and she used to come here for outings, but now there is no need for outings, but in June, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the mountain flowers are in full bloom. It is also a good place to rest and relax.
They found a place deep in the peach grove, and asked someone to set up tables and chairs. The group sat down together to drink tea, listen to the piano and enjoy the peach blossoms. They were very comfortable, and after Su Jingxun whispered a few words to Lin Jinhua, he also left up.
When he left, Jiu'er was tasting the delicious vegetarian food in the temple, and when he realized it, Su Jingxun had disappeared.
"Where's Xiao Xun?" She quietly pulled Xiao Ling and asked.
"Mr. Su said that the people from the Dingbeihou Mansion have come to pray for blessings today, and they are going to pay their respects." Xiao Ling laughed.Although Niangniang came to the mountain, she did not clear the mountain, so ordinary people can also come.
As soon as he heard about the people in Dingbeihou's Mansion, Jiu'er remembered that he hadn't been able to go to Dingbeihou's Mansion before, and couldn't help but said: "Aunt Ling, let's go find Xiao Xun."
"But..." Xiao Ling glanced at her worriedly, but Jiu'er slipped down from the chair, pulled her and whispered, "I'll just play with Xiao Xun, I won't cause trouble."
Since Xiaoling is usually well-behaved and sensible, and she is very close to herself, thinking that there are guards following her in the dark, she smiled and said, "Then wait a moment, slave."
Jiu'er nodded immediately, unexpectedly, Xiaoling turned around and asked Lin Jinhua.
Seeing her daughter's eager eyes, Lin Jinhua couldn't help but said, "There are many people on the mountain with mixed eyes, so you should be more careful."
"Yes." Xiaoling could see Lin Jinhua's trust in her, and immediately stepped forward to hold Jiu'er's hand and went out, but she didn't know that Su Jingxun didn't want them to come here at the moment.
Outside the side hall on the side of the Daxiong Palace, Mrs. Dingbeihou’s lady is wearing an emerald green embroidered long dress. The skirt is very gorgeous, with tiny pieces of jade hanging on the skirt. Walking in the sun, it is dazzling and very luxurious. Grace, coupled with the thick makeup on the face, from a distance, she is only a 20-year-old woman, and it is completely impossible to tell that she has given birth to two daughters.
She looked at Su Jingxun standing quietly in front of her, she couldn't tell the glaring, she just smiled and said: "Why didn't you serve in front of the empress? Didn't you come to me to make the empress misunderstand that I am more noble than the empress?"
Su Jingxun's face was indifferent, and he didn't even want to look at her, but he just said politely: "Jingxun didn't dare, but he just knew that his mother was coming, so he came here to pay her respects, and the empress also agreed."
"Greetings to me?" Mrs. Hou smiled faintly, glanced at the woman beside her, and said, "What about Simeng, this little girl is still very timid even at the age of four, and now her brother has deliberately found an excuse to come here Look at her, she doesn't even know to come out and see her?"
The mother-in-law also laughed, glanced at Su Jingxun, and then hurriedly said: "Just now I heard that Miss Si accidentally fell, now I don't know where to hide and cry."
Su Jingxun clenched his fist slightly, but he is not qualified to say anything yet.
Mrs. Hou continued: "It's no wonder she is, Lord Hou has been fighting outside these few years, unlike my two daughters, who followed Master Hou to fight north and south with me, and have already developed a good temper."
Su Jingxun's face became even more serious, does he still have the face to say it?The reason why my mother died in depression was not all because of this woman, after becoming her father's concubine, she would send letters from time to time to make her angry with her!Now that her natal family has made a fortune, and she has fulfilled her wish and become a house filler, do you really think that she has climbed a branch and become a phoenix?
He raised his eyes to look at her coldly: "Simeng is a daughter of the first wife, if something happened, why didn't you invite a doctor?"
"Eldest son, you have wronged our wife. Although our wife is filling in the house, she doesn't do her best when she treats you brothers and sisters, and thinks of you everywhere. I'm afraid that if you feel uncomfortable, you will say such ungrateful words and call outsiders I heard that, I really think our wife is such a heartless and ungrateful person." The woman immediately said in a strange way.
There was a servant who couldn't see it, and wanted to persuade him, but was immediately turned back indifferently by Mrs. Na Hou.
Su Jingxun knew that he was no longer a dignified master in the Dingbeihou Mansion, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he said calmly: "In that case, I'll go and see Simeng..."
"Brother, why is he so biased? The fourth sister is your sister, so we are not?"
A arrogant female voice came, and Su Jingxun didn't need to look back, she also knew that it was the daughter from this house filling. She was six years old this year and had the same mean temper as her mother, but there was still a five-year-old girl left, who was as big as Simeng, but Much milder.
He looked back and saw her walking in a gorgeous pink dress, followed by her limping younger sister Su Simeng with red eyes.
As soon as Su Simeng saw him, she was about to trot over immediately, but the maid next to her deliberately stretched out her foot and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground again, breaking her jaw.
But even so, she ruthlessly held back her tears, until Su Jingxun came to help her up, and then she lay in his arms and began to cry softly.
Su Jingxun felt distressed, but what can he do?He beating and scolding these servants now will only make them hate my sister even more.
He once thought about not going to the palace, but if he didn't go to the palace again, Mrs. Hou might think less of their brothers and sisters even more.Her father is away all day long, her grandfathers have passed away long ago, and she is the only one left in control of the Hou Mansion...
Thinking of this, he endured all the grievances. Unexpectedly, the servant girl opened her mouth: "Oh, Miss Fourth, why are you stepping on the servant girl? Now that you have fallen, you have to blame the servant girl?"
Mrs. Hou's family watched and sneered from above, and when Jiu'er happened to see this scene, she trotted over.
"Xiao Xun, what's the matter?" she asked anxiously.
"Who are you?" The maid was so arrogant that she saw Jiu'er approaching and asked immediately.
When Xiaoling came running after her, she immediately snorted coldly: "You are so brave, you know this is the eldest princess!"
The maid was slightly taken aback, Madam Hou also managed to remember that this is the Princess Jiu'er she had seen before, hurriedly came over to salute, and said: "I don't know the princess is here, please forgive me."
Jiu'er had never seen these things before, and he didn't know what schemes they were playing, so he just said, "Why are you crying, sister?"
"She fell by herself and cried in pain." After Madam Hou finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the maid, and said coldly, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you send Miss back to rest!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Jiu'er only brought a maid, the maid didn't pay attention to her who was only two years old, and immediately wanted to go up and take Su Simeng away, but Su Simeng held Su Jingxun tightly. The sleeve refused to let go, until the maid quietly twisted her arm hard, and the pain was so painful that she had to let go.
Su Jingxun wanted to stop her, but Jiu'er was only two years old, and he couldn't help her when she came, and he didn't want to involve her in his family's affairs, so he just gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but Jiu'er said: "You take her lay down."
The servant girl was taken aback, pretending she didn't hear clearly, she continued to hold Su Simeng to leave, and then she heard Jiu'er say, "I tell you to put her down." Jiu'er was a little anxious, although she didn't understand their thoughts, but She could tell that Xiao Xun was in a hurry, that young lady was very sad, and these grown-ups were so eccentric and annoying!
Xiaoling heard the words, and immediately said: "How dare you disobey the princess's oral order, don't you want to live!"
The maid then stopped and turned to look at Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou also frowned slightly, seeing that Jiu'er was still young, she just stepped forward and smiled and said, "Little princess, what's wrong with you? Are you worried that Simeng will be injured? Don't worry, we are going to take her to see a doctor." .”
Jiu'er was dubious, turned his head to look at Xiao Xun, saw that his brows were still furrowed, and said resolutely: "I brought the imperial physician, and I will take her to see the imperial physician later."
"This……"
"The princess's proposal, Madam Hou, don't you think it's not good?" Xiaoling also saw that something was wrong, thinking that Mr. Su was quite popular with the empress in the palace, and now it's not a big deal. What he can't handle is nothing to the empress. In a word, I will naturally help with this favor.
"Of course not." Mrs. Hou glanced at her daughter secretly, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go over and say hello to the empress together, Xiao Xun, what do you think?"
Su Jingxun knew that she was worried that she would talk nonsense in front of the empress, and because she cared about her younger sister, she naturally agreed, and quickly hugged Su Simeng over.
Soon, the group went to Taolin.
After arriving, Madam Hou's daughter Su Yumei was stunned at the sight of Lin Jinhua's silk and satin. The clothes and jewelry were better than the best materials she had ever seen in the Hou Mansion.
She looked at the wine in front of her again, walked up deliberately and smiled at her: "Little princess, let's walk hand in hand, the ground is slippery, so as not to fall."
"No need." For some reason, Jiu'er just didn't like her, so she stretched out her hand, so she didn't bother to take care of it.
Su Yumei was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that the majestic princess would not even give her face.
Soon a few people arrived in front of Lin Jinhua. Lin Jinhua had already reported the incident to the hidden guards who had come earlier. When he saw them coming, he just smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Long, take Miss Su to see the imperial physician."
"Yes." Xiaolong immediately stepped forward to take the frightened little girl from Su Jingxun's hand, and left.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Hou hurriedly led Su Yumei to the front and said with a smile: "My wife has seen the empress."
"Yumei has also met the Empress Empress, I wish her will always be so young and beautiful, and always be favored by the Emperor." Su Yumei said specially.
Lin Jinhua saw that she was looking at her with her small face raised to look cute and innocent, raised her brows slightly, and smiled slightly: "Are you the second lady of the Su family?"
Seeing that she knew it, Su Yumei was even happier, and took another step forward before raising the corners of her eyes and said happily and proudly: "Yes, I didn't expect the empress to know, the empress is indeed the smartest person in the world just like the rumors. people."
Lin Jinhua looked at her words as flattery, even though she knew that at her age, she might not be very clear about what she was doing, but she must have been taught by someone's precepts and deeds, and regarded it as the code of conduct.When they meet someone who is nobler than themselves, they praise them, and when they meet someone who is slightly inferior to them, they step down. For example, when they come over, their mother and daughter just glance at Xu Zhaozhao who is sitting on the side.
Coincidentally, Wang Ruyan and Baozhu just got back from picking peach blossoms, and when they approached, Mrs. Hou greeted them with a smile, and chatted with them intimately.
Before Xu Zhaozhao thought about it, he felt that Su Yumei was good-looking and well-spoken, so he smiled and said, "Why do you always praise the empress and not me?"
"Who are you?" Su Yumei asked her a little arrogantly.
Xu Zhaozhao: "..."
Although she doesn't often socialize among these ladies, even now she is wearing a woman's bun and sitting beside the queen, so she is her elder.
Xu Zhaozhao was a little unhappy, and said directly: "I am not as noble as Mrs. Hou..."
In the middle of her speech, Su Yumei said with a smile: "You don't have to belittle yourself, even if you are not as good as the Hou's Mansion, it will not be too bad. After all, you are sitting next to the empress."
Lin Zhenxi sat beside Xu Zhaozhao, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "This is Mrs. Yuan."
"Who is Mrs. Yuan? I haven't heard of it." Su Yumei didn't even glance at Lin Zhenxi, and saw that she was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress. Although the material was good, she looked like a girl next door. Half of Lin Jinzheng's imposing manner said that the empress was careless, and even the few maids around her were expensive. These two might have been maids.
Xu Zhaozhao was completely speechless, and Lin Jinhua was also laughing, unexpectedly, there are still such ignorant people in the capital.
Seeing Lin Jinhua smiling, Su Yumei thought she was admiring herself, and said with a sweeter smile: "Empress, do you like rouge made of peach blossoms? Yumei has recently learned how to make rouge from her master. Many wives have agreed, how about I'll give you some from Yumei. And the little princess, I saw that she's a little fat today, I'll make some medicine for her later..."
"You still use medicine?" Lin Jinhua interrupted her.
What Su Yumei was waiting for was her words, and hurriedly said: "I have had medical treatment with Mrs. Hu in the palace, and Mrs. Hu praised Yumei as very talented. Of course, Yumei is still not as good as the empress. If the empress can give me some advice If so..." She thought to herself, if she could use this to get in touch with the empress, would she still need to worry about Su Jingxun living in the palace in the future?At that time, she can also live in it, and then become a princess princess...
Before she finished thinking, Lin Jinhua smiled and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time."
"But the lady is free to come and enjoy the peach blossoms!" Su Yumei said anxiously. Hearing this, Lin Jinhua was sure that she was a spoiled and stupid little girl, so she didn't have the heart to listen to her anymore, and only looked up at Su Jingxun : "The little girl just now is your sister?"
"Yes, my name is Su Simeng." Su Jingxun stepped forward to salute.
When Lin Jinhua heard about it just now, she thought of her former self, without her mother, and letting the people in the house humiliate her.
She saw Jiu'er who was still a little uncomfortable again, and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, what do you think should be done?"
When Jiu'er heard the words, she was also ignorant, what should she do?She didn't think about it, she just didn't want them to take that young lady away.
Seeing that she ignored her, Su Yumei's complexion became a little ugly. She was always praised and praised by people since she was a child. Everyone said that she was smart and a genius, so how could she ignore herself.
She gritted her teeth and interjected deliberately: "Actually, Simeng's injuries are minor injuries, nothing serious, it's just her hypocrisy."
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, seeing that she was a little impatient: "The princess has her own judgment."
"But the princess is still young..."
"What's wrong with being young?" Lin Jinhua asked her back, she didn't want their dirty tricks to be used on her daughter.
Su Yumei wanted to say more, Mrs. Hou had already sensed something was wrong, she hurried over and said with a smile: "Madam, Yumei is still young, did she say something wrong that made you unhappy?"
Lin Jinhua saw that her attitude was not bad, and she came here for fun today, so she didn't want to care about it, so she just said, "That's all."
"Thank you, ma'am. However, Yumei has been spoiled by her courtiers since she was a child. She has a straight temper, but she is not bad-hearted, and everyone says she is smart. Now she has learned a lot of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It’s not worse than Jing Xun, and Jing Xun is getting older, so it’s not as convenient as Yu Mei’s coming in the palace, empress, if you think about it, if you let Jing Xun come back, let Yu Mei go to the palace to study with you.” Hou Madam quietly looked at Lin Jinhua and smiled.
Lin Jinhua looked at her eyes that were constantly calculating her, and felt it was funny. She thought that she had already reached this point, and these people would not calculate herself, but she didn't expect that there were still so many greedy people.
She glanced at the nervous Su Jingxun, then at Jiu'er, who was frowning, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is beautiful, her status is precious, and it was Mrs. Hou who grew up holding her in the palm of her hand..."
Lin Jinhua boasted slowly, and Su Yumei became proud again, and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm so good..."
"However." Lin Jinhua interrupted her and said, "You are such an honorable person, how can I invite you into the palace to accompany the prince and princess?"
Su Yumei didn't hear the meaning in the words at all, and thought it was a compliment, she became more and more happy: "It's okay, I don't mind..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Hou could see that Lin Jinhua didn't like her daughter at all.
Seeing this, Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Yes, after all, even my little Mrs. Yuan and Princess Mu don't pay attention to me. How dare you trouble me, a little prince and princess?"
When Mrs. Hou heard this, she immediately realized that the ordinary and unknown people sitting here were actually Mrs. Yuan and Princess Mu!
Su Yumei was also stunned. Seeing their mother and daughter, Jiu'er tugged on Su Jingxun's sleeves and asked her innocently, "Why are they so stupid?"
Su Jingxun was startled when he heard this, and then smiled slightly.
Lin Jinhua didn't want to do anything to Dingbeihou's mansion, after all, Dingbeihou still had great military exploits.
She just said: "Madam Hou is tired after standing with Miss Su for so long, please come and give me a seat."
"Don't dare to ask your mother to give you a seat." Madam Hou knew that she had offended someone, so she dared to be a little arrogant, Su Yumei also kept silent until Su Simeng was brought here.
The little girl was too skinny, limping, and her chin was medicated.When Xiao Ling came, there was anger in her eyes, but she had been in the palace for a long time, but she didn't show it. After coming over, she just said: "Madam, the imperial doctor said it was just a scratch, it's not too serious, it's just that the injury on the leg hurts. Bones, if you don't take a good rest, you will be lame in the future."
When Xiaoling said this, Mrs. Hou's face turned pale.
Su Jingxun clenched his fists tightly, but what can he do?After his mother's death, his grandfather's family also disappeared. He himself was too young to live in a separate family, and his sister still had to stay in the Hou's mansion after all.
Seeing him like this, Jiu'er looked at Su Simeng who was standing beside him holding back his tears, and finally said to Lin Jinhua: "Mother, my brother has Xiao Xun to accompany me, so Jiu'er wants it too."
When Su Yumei heard it, she thought she was referring to her, and said happily, "Don't worry, Madam, if Yumei can enter the palace, she will definitely assist the little princess in learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as medicine, and making rouge..."
Jiu'er gave her a puzzled look, then walked to Su Simeng's side, took her hand, and said to Lin Jinhua, "I want her to accompany me."
Su Yumei was stunned: "Princess, what do you choose her to do, she can't do anything but cry, she's just a waste, she can't bear it if you let her go to the palace!"
Su Simeng was timid, hearing the words, she lowered her head with low self-esteem and dared not speak out, but held back her tears and did not cry out.
Jiu'er didn't like Su Yumei more and more. As soon as she lost her temper, she glared at her and said, "It's none of your business who I choose!"
"I……"
"I hate it! Hmph!" Jiu'er made a face at her, then pulled Su Simeng and said to Lin Jinhua, "Mother, I want her!"
Su Jingxun looked at her who was protecting her sister like a little soldier, her thoughts were deep, and there was a smile in her eyes.
Lin Jinhua looked at Jiu'er's insistence, and laughed: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, Jiu'er must study hard!" Jiu'er gritted his teeth.
Lin Jinhua counted with her fingers: "You must practice martial arts and study hard. After you return to the palace, you won't be able to play around every day."
Jiu'er's heart trembled, but he endured it and said, "No problem!"
Xu Zhaozhao saw that she was the one who liked to play the most, and followed him: "Sister Hua'er, you just promise the princess, anyway, there is no one in the palace to play, maybe with Miss Su around, the princess doesn't have to think about it all day long." Run outside the palace, right?"
Jiu'er felt that she was trying to trick her, but at this moment, of course she had to nod.
Lin Jinhua finally laughed: "Okay, Jing Xun, you can go back with Miss Su to pack some clothes in person later..." Lin Jinhua was halfway through speaking, seeing the dim eyes of Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter, she changed her words again: "That's all, little girl Ling, you go and run yourself."
"Yes." Xiao Ling was the one who admired the empress the most, so she immediately agreed.
The faces of Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter can be said to be very ugly, and Lin Jinhua didn't intend to do anything to them. She just sent them down and let Su Jingxun go down with wine and Su Simeng.
After the few of them left, Baozhu said: "It seems that when these people grow up, it will be another storm."
Lin Jinhua understood what she meant. When they grow up, it will be ten years later. The forces will slowly form factions again because of the marriage of their children. Fortunately, there will be no competition for the throne among the princes. She is sure that she can Teach well, it's just that Putao, who is about to ascend the throne, will have a headache.
She smiled, after all, it will be more than ten years later, it is useless to think about it now, just continue to listen to the piano and enjoy the flowers.
But after Su Jingxun took Su Simeng to the gazebo near Taolin, he let her sit by the porch and apologized: "Meng'er, it's my brother who didn't take good care of you."
"Don't blame brother." Su Simeng shook her head with red eyes.
Jiu'er followed at the side, stepped forward and pulled Su Jingxun and said, "Xiao Xun, don't be sad."
Su Jingxun looked at her now, looked at her big and bright eyes full of seriousness and bravery, and felt that he was forcing her to be seven or eight years older, but she was still not as good as her.
He chuckled: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, just play with me forever." Jiu'er squinted his eyes and smiled, but Su Jingxun was taken aback. After the new year, he will be eleven. He already vaguely knows the weight of some words up.But he knew that Jiu'er didn't know anything, she was not yet three years old, and she was just a naive and innocent little girl.
Thinking of this, he took off the jade pendant he had been wearing on his chest and gave it to her, saying: "Give it to you, this is a promise, this jade is not broken, I will always be with you."
Jiu'er blinked, looked at Yu in puzzlement, and saw that Su Simeng also had a piece on his neck, and happily accepted it, but he didn't know that it would cause such unforgettable waves in the future.
