A tyrant develops a daily life

Chapter 44 Paranoia
At night, the cold wind blows the octagonal lanterns in the corridor, casting erratic shadows on the window paper.

After Lin Miaomiao took a bath, she lay sprawled on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

What happened today was caused by Princess Jing, right?Mrs. Hou has no grievances or enmities with the Lin family, and she will not easily make things difficult for her mother, only the eccentric queen mother.

Did she find out about Jing Xi's pestering her, and wanted to deliberately give him a bad impression so that they would retreat?But she was still young and had nothing to do, so she chose her mother.

That old hag, who tormented her vigorously in her previous life, will torment her mother again in this life!

Who does she think she is?There is no distinction between right and wrong, straight and wrong, why does she not care about her son?

Have the ability to tell her son not to pester her!Go marry Ning Guifei!Let's see if she can say no!
No, it can't go on like this, it's okay for her to be angry, anyway, she can think about it, her left ear goes in and her right ear goes out, mother is different, mother is very sensitive, things during the day, maybe how long it will be sad.She can't just let the old witch bully her forever!
After Ning Wanqing changed her clothes and came out, she saw Lin Miaomiao going out with a gloomy expression.

Lin Miaomiao came to the door of her former bedroom and knocked on the door. It was Mr. Zhao who opened the door. Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Why is Miss San here?"

"Where is your son?" Lin Miaomiao asked with a straight face.

I have been in contact with Lin Miaomiao for so long, and I have always been laughing and joking. I have never seen such a cold expression on the other side. Although there is not much sense of oppression, the small look between the brows is really like the son of the world.Director Zhao restrained his expression and said, "The prince has gone to visit the garden. The third lady has something to do with the prince? Do you want the servant to look for it?"

Lin Miaomiao frowned and sighed: "No need, I'll come back later." What kind of garden do you want to visit?Isn't he clinging to her all day long?Wherever she went, he was also there, but now, he ran away by himself!

When Jingxi came out of the palace, he didn't go back to Lin's house immediately, but turned around and went to Hou's residence.

Lord Ning and Madam Hou were a little dazed by the sudden battle. Jing Xi sat on the main seat, tapped his fingers on the table, again and again, and next to his hand was a cup of steaming tea, with dim yellow pearls. The light shone on Jing Xi's face as beautiful as a crown of jade, and the darkness in his eyes fell completely...

At this moment, he didn't look like a fool with insufficiency, but more like a little beast crouching in the dark, almost unable to hold back.

Lord Ning couldn't help but tremble in his heart, while Mrs. Hou, who was at the side, was already trembling from the shock of the dangerous breath.

In the room, there was only the sound of his fingers pointing on the table.

Lord Ning knelt down, his forehead was gradually sweating.

It wasn't until the tea on the table was completely out of heat that Jing Xi stood up and left the Hou Mansion expressionlessly.

All the while, he didn't say a word.

Lord Ning has not knelt for such a long time in many years, both legs are numb, and it is not easy for the servants to see him in such a state of embarrassment, it took the boss's strength to sit back on the chair, and Mrs. Hou , still too weak to stand up.

Lord Ning wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "My son...he is not a fool."

"I...I think so too." Mrs. Hou said tremblingly.

After discovering such an important secret, Lord Ning was not surprised at all. He could tell that the son did it on purpose. Why did the son pretend to be a fool? Let's not mention it for now, but he revealed the news that he was not a fool to the two of them. The meaning is a bit intriguing.

The crown prince seems... to be expressing his unique respect for them, but there is also a huge ax hidden behind this respect. After all, if they know such an important secret, if they are not willing to be loyal to the crown prince , can only be silenced by the prince.

After all, Lord Ning has been in the officialdom for many years, and he quickly calmed down. While thinking about the purpose of the son's revealing his identity, he recalled the expression of the son just now.

If it is said that revealing their identities is to value them, why has they kept a cold face and never asked them to get up?

The prince is obviously angry, and this anger has something to do with them.

However, Lord Ning Hou didn't remember doing anything to offend the prince recently. To be exact, he hadn't had much contact with the palace recently.

Moreover, if the son wants to show his identity, it is enough to show it to him alone, why even call his wife?Madame...but she is a girl, and has nothing to do with court affairs.

Or...the prince has a reason to reveal his identity to his wife?
Lord Ning's deep eyes fell on Mrs. Hou's face: "Ma'am, have you done something to upset the prince recently?"

Mrs. Hou looked surprised: "I'm wronged, Lord Hou, I haven't done anything recently!"

Lord Ning frowned: "Think about it carefully. The prince would rather expose his identity today than come and show us off. He is sounding the alarm!"

If they don't reflect on themselves, they will be the alarm bell to kill them.Thinking of this, Marquis Ning's back felt chills!
"Then why must it be me? As a woman, how can I have anything to do with the prince? If not, then Qing'er was called by the princess to take care of the prince... Could it be that the prince is not satisfied with Qing'er?" Mrs. Hou was asked I was terrified by my guess.

Lord Ning pondered for a moment, then shook his head. Qing'er has already lived in the Lin Mansion. If the prince wants to deal with Qing'er, he doesn't have to wait until now: "Think again! What have you been doing today!"

"I'm today... I'm today..." Mrs. Hou said, her expression was stunned, and she murmured: "It can't be that matter..."

"What matter?" Ning Hou asked.

Mrs. Hou told her about Princess Jing's instigation to make things difficult for Mrs. Lin's third wife.

Lord Ning was furious: "Woman! Woman! Ignorance! How can you help the princess do such a foolish thing?"

Mrs. Hou couldn't argue: "She is a princess, she asked me, can I... can I refuse?"

"Is she on good terms with you, or with the Gu family?"

"Gu... Gu's family." That was the princess's natal family, how could she compare to it?

"Then why doesn't she let the Gu family come forward for this kind of thing?" Lord Ning asked Madam Hou in one sentence. This kind of thing is not honorable, and the Gu family will not do it for her. Don't think that she is a business woman, so she can be trampled by you at will. A business woman is also a human being. Besides, because she is a lowly business woman, she also works for the princess and the prince. Madame's action shows that this business woman is not simple, why don't you think about it deeply?"

Mrs. Hou will feel overwhelmed now, and she can't help breaking out in a cold sweat: "But why did they treat a business woman..."

Before Madam Hou could finish speaking, Lord Ning Hou interrupted her: "Don't ask why, just curious about the affairs of the masters casually, you will die."

Madam Hou fell silent.

Yao was angry during the day, and at night she dreamed that she had found the place back. Mrs. Hou knelt in front of her, with snot and tears, and slapped herself on the ear, saying that she couldn't see Taishan with her eyes, that she would never I dare not, please forgive me Mrs. Lin.

Yao Shi was so beautiful, she woke up laughing before dawn, only to realize it was a dream when she woke up, she shook her head in disappointment, she was really out of her mind, to actually have that kind of dream, who is Mrs. Hou?Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, the niece and daughter-in-law of the imperial concubine Duanmin, can condescend to apologize to a business woman?She could only be dreaming.

"Madam! Madam!" Xu's mother ran in staggeringly.

Yao Shi sighed impatiently: "Mother Xu, you have been with Danju for a long time, and you learned her bluffing?"

Mother Xu resisted her overwhelming shock and said, "Mrs. Hou is here! She said she wants... to see you!"

"Yesterday, I was really bad. I neglected Mrs. Lin. Qing'er lived with you and caused you a lot of trouble. I was so thankful that it was too late, but I still neglected you. I was lying on the bed... I couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning , I was thinking, how come I have to come to you to apologize today." In the flower hall of Ruyi Garden, Mrs. Hou held Yao's hand cordially.

Yao Shi was like in a dream: "Hou... Mrs. Hou is serious... Actually it's not a big deal, I was late, I should have arrived earlier."

Mrs. Hou said angrily: "How can I blame you? I didn't greet you well. I'm here. I'm here to make up for it. I hope you will forgive my negligence for the sake of the children."

Yao Shi really liked Ning Wanqing, but did Mrs. Hou's attitude change too quickly?Yao Shi could hardly react: "It's all... the maids are negligent. Madam Hou has a lot of guests to entertain, so it's normal that she can't take care of them."

Madam Hou called in the maid who had eyes above her head yesterday: "Why don't you kowtow to Madam Lin to admit your mistake?"

The servant girl knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and begged Yao Shi to forgive while slapping herself.

This...how is this so similar to the scene in the dream?Although the object was changed to a maid, she was still very relieved.

Mrs. Yao knew that she couldn't blame the maidservants entirely, but she couldn't let Mrs. Yipin Gao ordered her to kneel down for her. This would make a big fuss. It was a huge concession for someone to come to the door to apologize. Mrs. Yao had to forgive others magnanimously .

Mrs. Hou chatted affectionately with Mrs. Yao for a while, making it look like handkerchiefs that haven't been seen for many years.

After half an hour, Mrs. Hou left a thank you gift and left.

Yao looked at the carriage that disappeared at the end of the road, and said in a daze, "Mother Xu, I'm not dreaming, am I? Mrs. Hou really came to apologize to me...you give me a pinch."

Mother Xu picked up Yao Shi's arm and pinched it fiercely.

Yao hopped in pain: "You really pinched!"

In the simple and bright room, the sun shines in from outside the door, shining on the warm wooden floor, and also shining on Princess Jing's delicately made-up face.

In the room, apart from a row of cabinets and the small long table in front of you, there is no extra furniture.

Concubine Jing knelt quietly in front of the small long table, spread out the rice paper, dipped the tip of the pen in Hui ink to practice calligraphy.

Huiren entered and whispered a few words beside her, her complexion changed, and a drop of ink dripped on the big characters written.

Over at the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Yao is in a better mood, and Fengtang Courtyard has also come alive. Although she can't figure out why Mrs. Hou came to apologize suddenly, but because there are too many facts that can't be figured out recently, Mrs. Yao simply doesn't want to think about it. Anyway, since After her daughter suffered a serious illness, she seemed to have changed her luck. Unbelievable things happened one after another, and she couldn't blame her even if she wanted to.Unless it was the rumored Concubine Jing who never saw the end of the dragon came to the door, otherwise, nothing could scare her.

Ning Wanqing vaguely understood why her proud mother put down her dignity to apologize to a businesswoman. She was the daughter of the Hou family, and she could find out some of the movements of the Hou family if she wanted to investigate.

That night, the prince went to the Hou Mansion.

Is this why the mother suddenly changed her attitude?

The prince is so kind to Mrs. Lin... so kind to Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao hasn't seen the little tyrant for a few days. A person who wants to go to the bathroom with you, suddenly disappears. It's really...strange.

In the study, after practicing calligraphy with Ning Wan for a while, Lin Miaomiao decided to go for a walk in the garden after being hit by Concubine Ning Guifei's lower script with hairpin flowers.

It's April, neither hot nor cold, with warm wind blowing, comfortable and soft.

Lin Miaomiao unconsciously walked to the banyan tree where she was once trapped. Thinking of the scene where her fourth uncle was holding her in one hand and cutting the root of the tree with a dagger in the other, a trace of thoughts flashed in her heart.

The wind was blowing on her cheeks, as if blowing into the bottom of her heart, a warmth.

Eunuch Zhao led two craftsmen and walked through the small road not far away. When he saw Lin Miaomiao, he came forward and said hello: "Miss San."

Lin Miaomiao looked at the craftsmen behind him, and asked puzzledly, "Is Director Zhao going to repair something?"

Manager Zhao said with a smile: "It's not me, it's the son, he wants to build a hot spring."

"Building, repairing hot springs?" Lin Miaomiao was stunned, "It's almost summer, what are you doing repairing hot springs?"

Mr. Zhao smiled and did not speak. He remembered an incident that happened when Shizi was a child. That year, Shizi had just turned five years old. During the winter, he stayed in bed and refused to get up. The princess had to dress him. Liang then went to the temple to pray, it was worn by the prince, the son kept crying until the princess came back, then took off his clothes and lay back under the quilt, saying, "Do it again!"

The concubine dressed the prince again, and this matter was over.

What the prince decided must be done, even if it is...to do it again.

In the afternoon, Director Zhao invited Lin Miaomiao to try the hot spring, Lin Miaomiao blinked: "Can I call Sister Shangning?"

Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Miss Ning went to buy rouge with the third wife."

"Then I'll call Big Brother!"

"Eldest young master missed a lot of classes in closed doors a few days ago, now he is making up for it in private schools, and he only comes back at night."

"Cousin should be here!"

"Master Rong has returned to Beijing, and Master Biao should be with her now."

What a coincidence, everyone was away, Lin Miaomiao frowned strangely, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her brain.

Holding Xiaobao in his arms, he took Qiuyue to the hot spring in the back mountain.

The hot spring is neither big nor deep, so she jumped into the shallowest place.

As soon as I stepped on something, I quickly reached out to grab it, but I caught a tuft of soft hair, and I was so scared that I almost lost my soul!
Jingxi sat up from the water, rubbed his scalp that was almost peeled off by someone, and said, "Do you want to be so vigorous?"

Lin Miaomiao is going crazy!

"How will you be here?"

The corners of Jingxi's mouth were bent, and he said solemnly: "This is the hot spring I built, why can't I be here?"

"Director Zhao didn't say you were here!"

"You didn't even ask." Jing Xi said shamelessly.

Lin Miaomiao choked, do I still need to ask this kind of question?Who would take a girl's house into a man's pool?If this, this, this is spread, how will she get married in the future? !
Lin Miaomiao wanted to leave, but the water had already soaked her clothes. Once she stood up, she could see everything clearly: "Qiuyue! Qiuyue!"

Jing Xi raised his eyebrows: "Stop barking, she's not here."

What's not there?Was it taken away by you?No wonder sister Ning, eldest brother, and cousin are all absent today. This guy must be the one to do it!

Lin Miaomiao clasped her arms tightly and stared at him vigilantly: "You...you...you..."

"Finally, let's soak in the hot spring together." Jing Xi closed his eyes contentedly, and every pore in his body opened comfortably.

Lin Miaomiao looked at the look of being satisfied "afterwards", and shivered with aversion to cold: "Pervert!"

Jingxi's arms rested on the floor behind him, and he tapped rhythmically with his fingers: "I've already drawn up the plan for April, going out in the green, swimming in the lake, and going to temples to offer incense."

Lin Miaomiao stared at him: "Are you a fool?"

Jingxi: "This year seems to be hotter than previous years, so I don't choose a place with a lot of people for outings. Zhonglingshan is not bad."

Lin Miaomiao: "I've already seen that you're not a fool, you...you bully me again, and I'll expose you for pretending to be a fool!"

Jingxi: "If you go to the lake, you can go to the capital. You are still young, and the journey is too tiring, so you won't go to the south of the Yangtze River."

Lin Miaomiao: "Don't think that no one can cure you! You are a crime of deceiving the emperor! You will be beheaded! I warn you, you'd better not mess with me again...I will keep the secret for you...for you !Otherwise...otherwise I'm really rude to you! I'm not a soft persimmon, at worst, I'll die!"

Jingxi touched his chin: "Which temple is better? Baiyun Temple? Putuo Temple? Which one do you like? Or go to the one your mother often goes to?"

Lin Miaomiao collapsed!

Jingxi looked at her tightly hugging her small body, and twitched the corners of her lips slightly: "Don't make me look so hungry, how old are you? Is it a pervert to be my real son? Just because you don't have a small body Son, I am not interested in taking medicine!"

Lin Miaomiao glanced under the water: "I'm not interested...then...what's that sticking up there?"

Jingxi looked down, "cough", and pressed down without any trace.

He was distracted, thinking about her former body, but this little thing, do you want to betray him in such a hurry? !

In the evening, Mammy Rui who was next to Concubine Jing came, but Jing Xi didn't even raise his eyelids, and asked Mr. Zhao to kick him out.

At night, Huiren came again, and was also rejected by Jingxi.

Huiren said to Mr. Zhao: "Everyone is working in one place. If you look up and look down, there's no need to do it so badly, right?"

Director Zhao smiled: "I serve the young master by the order of the prince. If the young master says east, I dare not go west. If the little master says west, I dare not go north."

Huiren showed the token of the concubine: "Seeing this token is like seeing the concubine, why don't you hurry up and invite the prince out?!"

Jingxi came out, glanced at Huiren coldly, and raised the corners of his lips in disdain: "Go back and tell the princess, if she dares to force me, I will not only reveal my identity to Ning Guohou and Mrs. Hou, but I will let everyone The world knows that her son...has been pretending to be crazy!"

"He said that?" Concubine Jing slipped her hand, destroying a piece of practiced big characters.

Huiren nodded slightly.

"Stinky boy...you dare to threaten me, who did you learn from?" Princess Jing's chest heaved with anger.

Hui Ren thought, didn't I learn it from you?

Sister Rui has experienced many things and has many ideas. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Princess, don't blame the old servant for talking too much. My lord, I am actually betting with you that you don't remember what happened before. Is it? The son of the world must always get what he wants, unless he doesn't want it himself, otherwise, the more you snatch it from him, the more rare he will be. A little girl from the Lin family has not enlightened herself. The son likes her, and with her What's the difference between liking a cat or a dog? Why bother to make a rift between your mother and your child for an outsider?"

Concubine Jing sneered: "I just gave it some color. Didn't he help Yao Xinlan get the place back? Hasn't he calmed down yet? Could it be that you want me to come to the door and bow my head to that woman?"

Sister Rui said: "Where is this bowing your head? You, show your attitude that you are willing to get along well with them. The son will be relieved, and he will not be angry with you."

Concubine Jing slapped the brush on the table: "I express my opinion? What am I expressing? I want this princess to find a cheap merchant to make friends with, dreaming!"

In the morning, Yao's house.

"Thanks to you for taking care of me these few days, Xi'er told me that he had a great time." Princess Jing sat on the main seat with a smile on her face, talking softly with Yao Shi who was stunned by the side, so gentle, the sunshine All softened.

Yao's whole body is in a daze, it's fine for Mrs. Hou to come to the door, why even the princess is here?Didn't it mean that the concubine never went out, and even ignored invitations from the palace, most likely she would not go?
I am too..."All wishes come true", right?
Princess Jing's slender fingers gently covered her bright red lips, and said softly: "I can't keep bothering you, I'm so sorry."

Yao shi wanted to say it's okay, but he was too frightened to say a word.

Concubine Jing had a panoramic view of Yao Shi's expression, pouted lightly, and soon said sincerely and sincerely: "Xi'er told me that he likes Miss Lin very much. A friend, I am a mother, I am really happy for him, and I am especially grateful to Mrs. Lin for giving birth to such a lovely child. If Mrs. Lin does not dislike it, I would like to take Miss Lin to live in the palace for a few days. I am grateful to Mrs. Lin Madam has taken care of Xi'er these days."
