The street at the main entrance of Mei's house was very quiet, only one or two pedestrians passed by occasionally.

Mei Gang took Qin Li and two other subordinates to guard the gate, and when he saw an unremarkable green cloth carriage approaching in the distance, he nodded to Qin Li, then opened the courtyard door and entered.

The door was closed again, Qin Li stood with arms folded, looking at the approaching carriage with a sneer on his face.

The Zhao family was quite careful, in order not to attract attention, they actually used such a simple and narrow carriage to pull patients.

There must be at least two or three entourages to move Zhao Baorong, right?
The Kong family didn't come, it was Zhao Qixia who came.

In the apricot-yellow long skirt and the snow-white veiled hat, he told Qin Li the reason in a soft voice.

Seeing that Qin Li nodded and opened the door, Zhao Qixia turned around and called the family servants to lift Zhao Baorong out of the car.

It was late autumn, but as soon as Zhao Baorong was lifted out of the car, a strange smell wafted over him.

Qin Li immediately turned around and closed the door again, and said to Zhao Qixia:

"Our girl doesn't show people all kinds of diseases. If your father suffers from some kind of dirty disease, you'd better tell the truth in advance."

Qin Li's voice was very loud, and soon people appeared and gathered in the streets and alleys.

Zhao Qixia became visibly flustered, lowered her voice and scolded Qin Li:
"Mei Xue has already agreed, if you dare to play tricks, I will sue her in the yamen now."

Qin Li laughed loudly, and beckoned more and more idle people to surround Zhao Baorong and the two servants who were carrying him, saying:
"Everyone come and see, it is said that the master of the Zhao family is suffering from Hualiu disease, but he lied to our girl that it was common typhoid fever, and threatened to sue us in the yamen if we don't see a doctor for him.

Come on, let me open your eyes to see if Mr. Zhao has typhoid fever or Hualiu disease. "

Zhao Qixia panicked, she stretched out her hand and wanted to push Qin Li, but Qin Li pushed her away.

Qin Li picked up the hood covering Zhao Baorong's head with his sword, and said loudly to everyone:

"Flower willow disease is contagious, so don't touch it with your hands."

The onlookers talked a lot, it was hard to believe.Although the dignified head of the Imperial College is not a high-ranking official, he teaches the disciples of saints. How could he not practice personal morality like this?

However, the festering plaques on Zhao Baorong's face said it all.

The servants of the Zhao family wanted to stop them, but how could they defeat the sword in Qin Li and his subordinates?Qin Li even pulled Zhao Baorong's robe and obscene trousers away without mercy.

The crowd scattered in fright, Zhao Qixia didn't care to pick it up after being squeezed out, and hurriedly called her two servants to lift the distraught Zhao Baorong into the carriage.

Qin Li sneered, looked at the resentful Zhao Qixia through the window and said:
"Ms. Zhao can go to the Yamen to sue our girl. It's closer to go directly from here, so I can leave."

The onlookers roared with laughter, and the coachman of the Zhao family fled in panic with his carriage.

In the inner courtyard, Mei Xue was hugging the crying Li Mingze and said to Mei Gang:

"This matter will soon spread, the Zhao family has not been in the capital for a long time, so don't pay attention to them in the future.

The secret passage being repaired by the pharmacy, the uncle must strictly supervise, and the news must not be leaked. "

Mei Gang nodded in response, seeing that Jiu'er took out Li Jinzhi's portrait to coax Li Mingze again, Mei Gang was a little sad, bowed to Mei Xue, and then backed out.

In the palace of the Prince of Shu, Li Jinzhi said to Song Zhijie while fastening the belt of his cloak:
"Sir, arrange for two censors to bring the scandal of Zhao Baorong and his son to the court in two days, so that they don't bother Miss Mei every day."

Given the thickness of the Zhao family's skins, it's only embarrassing, and I'm afraid they can't be allowed to leave the capital.

Song Zhijie naturally agreed. He was well-informed, but the shamelessness of the Zhao family still made him amazed.

Li Jinzhi was going to visit Li Mingze in Lilac, Song Zhijie sent him to the carriage and went on his own.

At the end of autumn, the sky is getting cooler, but the plum house in Lilac is still verdant.

Yurong saw Li Jinzhi outside the courtyard, and happily led him in.

Li Mingze had been crying for half an hour, even if Jiu'er held up Li Jinzhi's portrait, it was useless, and Yu Rong was also anxious to fidget.

As soon as he heard Li Jinzhi's voice, Li Mingze lowered his crying in an instant.

He still can't turn over, even turning his head is difficult, but he still tries to look in Li Jinzhi's direction.

Mei Xue put Li Mingze into Li Jinzhi's arms, smiled and said:
"Today's rehabilitation training added two sets of movements, Mingze must be more painful and harder."

Li Jinzhi hugged Li Mingze distressedly, and put his face against Li Mingze's to comfort him.It wasn't until Li Mingze finally stopped sobbing that he took the hot handkerchief Yurong handed over and wiped Li Mingze's face.

Li Mingze was already tired from crying, the little man curled up in Li Jinzhi's arms, and soon fell asleep.

Li Jinzhi was reluctant to put Li Mingze down, so he took the thin blanket that Jiu'er handed over to wrap Li Mingze up, and then sat in a round chair with him in his arms and talked to Mei Xue.

Mei Xue washed her hands and face, took a cup of tea and sat next to Li Jinzhi and said:
"Although Mingze still cries from time to time, he is much better than before. And after adding complementary food, he didn't have any abnormal reactions. This is a good start."

A child like Li Mingze has weaker immunity than other children. If he cannot increase nutrition through supplementary food, his development will be even more restricted.

After Jiu'er and Yurong went out, Li Jinzhi stroked Mei Xue's hair with one hand and said:
"I can't be more relieved to entrust Mingze to you. It's just that you have worked too hard."

Mei Xue shook her head, pointed to Ping An who was poking around the door, and said with a smile:
"I don't have any hard work. There are many people who help me at home, especially Xiaopingan, who is my best helper."

Ping An rushed in like flying, ran to Li Jinzhi and raised his face, waiting for his praise.

Li Jinzhi couldn't help but patted Ping An's head and praised him:
"Ping'an is the best. Uncle Huang will take you out to play later."

Li Jinzhi kept telling Pingan that he was the same as Li Mingze, that he could be called Aunt Meixue and Uncle Li Jinzhi.

Ping An is a bit older now, and Mei Xue doesn't hold him back, so he can often go out with Mei Gang or Qin Li.

Because of this, he loves to go out to play more and more. The flowers, birds, insects and fish in the mansion no longer attract his interest.

Not long after, the Crown Princess Xie Danqin sent someone to invite Mei Xue into the palace.

Mei Xue told Ping An to be obedient when she went out to play with Li Jinzhi later, and then she took Jiu'er into the palace with the servant.

Xie Danqin really brought up the matter of the Zhao family, and she said to Mei Xue in disgust:
"I really can't see that there is such a dirty family."

Mei Xue just nodded with a smile and did not comment on Xie Danqin's words.

The two of them stopped talking about the Zhao family, Xie Momo covered Xie Danqin's left wrist with a brocade handkerchief, and Mei Xue began to check her pulse.

The voice of the palace servant greeting Li Jinyu came from outside, Xie Nanny hurriedly went out quietly, but Xie Danqin didn't respond, she still sat downcast with her expression unchanged.

There was no intention of going out to meet Li Jinyu at all.

Sure enough, Li Jinyu didn't come in either.After a while, Nanny Xie came back, smiled unnaturally at Mei Xue, and said softly to Xie Danqin:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is busy with business. After seeing the emperor and grandson, he went to Zhaoyang Palace and said he would come to see you some other day."

Xie Danqin just gave a faint "um" without saying a word.

Nanny Xie sighed invisibly, took two steps back and walked out.

Mei Xue took her hand away from Xie Danqin's wrist, covered her sleeves again, and then said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, I have always believed that it is best for a mother to breastfeed a child, but this is strictly prohibited in the palace, so you still have to be careful."

Xie Danqin nodded, looked at Mei Xue with red eyes and said:
"I know you can see it, and I didn't want to hide it from you.

It's been so long since I gave birth, and I only saw His Highness twice, and I didn't even have time to say a few words.

I just thought, since men are unreliable, why don't I get closer to my sons?I can rely on you more in the future. "

Speaking of this, Xie Danqin suddenly smiled coldly, stroking the armor on his hand with lowered eyes and said:

"I always knew that I was just a pawn in the chess game, no matter in the eyes of Xie's family or His Highness.

I understand now that as long as I honestly don't bother His Highness, and can raise the two children well, His Highness will at least give me a nominal dignity. "

Mei Xue was a little surprised and couldn't speak, she didn't expect Xie Danqin to say such private words to her.

It was probably because of her dedication during Xie Danqin's delivery that Xie Danqin developed close feelings for her.

This left Mei Xue with nothing to say, she really didn't want to know, and she didn't want to be involved in the conflict between Xie Danqin, Li Jinyu and the Xie family.

But Xie Danqin obviously didn't see Mei Xue's embarrassment, instead he took her hand and said:
"Let's go, I'll show you something, I'm sure you'll be surprised."

Mei Xue had no choice but to follow Xie Danqin to the study, watching her take out a painting from the painting tube and spread it on the table.

On the drawing paper, it is clearly the former Crown Princess Yang Shumin, but she looks younger.

Seeing Mei Xue's puzzled eyes, Xie Danqin sneered lightly and said:
"I know what you're thinking, but this is really not sister Yang, but my seventh younger sister, the youngest daughter of my uncle's family. She has just passed her rites and will soon come to the capital to visit me."

Xie Danqin's smile was a bit creepy, the sharp armor lightly brushed across Miss Xie Qi's face, then looked up at Mei Xue and said:
"Look, my good grandmother and aunt love me so much, I have just given birth to less than a hundred days ago, and they can't wait to let someone come to relieve my worries!
Moreover, he found such a wonderful candidate, Mei Xue, do you think this is God's will?How can there be people who look so similar in the world?And it happens to be Ben Gong's cousin? "

Mei Xue looked at the tears gradually accumulating in Xie Danqin's eyes, and suddenly felt a little sad for her.

She was chosen as a pawn by the family, and after so many years in this deep palace, she was still worthless after all.

The Xie family was not even willing to give her the most basic decency, and even wanted the eldest son of the Xie family to take her years of hard work for himself, including her two sons.

In this world, the coldest family relationship is nothing more than that, right?
