Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Su Kai and Yao Niang came to Prince Ling's Mansion to express their gratitude.

What happened between the two of them is something that only they know, not the outsiders.

But looking at Su Shizi's cherished attitude towards Yao Niang, we know that he never blamed Yao Niang for pretending to die and left. Instead, he regarded her as a treasure because she had lost it and found it again.

He was also extremely attentive to the child, even though he hired a wet nurse, he still did it himself, hugging her all the time, and coaxing her when she cried.

Yao Niang must have thought about it, her expression became much more open and natural, as if an invisible shackle was being released from the two of them.

Before they left, Murong Jiu asked people to bring persimmons, corn and other items from the glass shed, and told Yao Niang that if she had nothing to do, she would bring her children to the palace.

The three children are not much different. When they grow up a little, they can play together.

Unexpectedly, just after seeing off the two of them, Sikong, the Minister of Dali Temple, returned to Lord Sikong's house and sent another greeting card.

It turned out to be a greeting card sent by Miss Sikong, who wanted to visit her at the palace.

Thinking that Miss Sikong was already engaged to Lou Zixi, and that Lou Zixi had a good relationship with Prince Ling's Mansion, Murong Jiu replied to Miss Sikong's message and invited her to come to the Prince's Mansion to enjoy the peonies.

There are several hundred-year-old peonies in Prince Ling's Mansion. They are rare varieties and are gradually blooming. It is a good time to enjoy the flowers.

The next day, Mrs. Sikong came to visit with her daughter.

Murong Jiu had seen Miss Sikong in a dream, and had only met her a few times. She was as quiet and elegant as he remembered, beautiful and intelligent, spoke elegantly, without losing her manners, and was graceful.

Mrs. Sikong is also very dignified, speaks in a leisurely manner, and occasionally is a bit funny. It is obvious that she is a very interesting lady.

In fact, Miss Sikong was very similar to her mother. Over time, Murong Jiu realized that she was actually a little cute and interesting on the inside, and not as noble as she looked on the outside.

The word "noble" here is not a derogatory term. I believe that when most people see Miss Sikong at first sight, they will think that she is a noble lady from a scholarly family who is inaccessible.

Murong Jiu felt that the contrast in Miss Sikong might surprise Lou Zixi.

Mrs. Sikong did not dare to bother her at home, so she only stayed for lunch and then said goodbye.

Miss Sikong seemed to have something else she wanted to say to Murong Jiu. During her hesitation, her cheeks turned slightly red.

Murong Jiu knew without guessing that Sikong Wan wanted to ask her about Lou Zixi, and maybe he wanted to know more about his fiancé.

Lou Zixi came to Beijing from out of town, and most of his relatives and friends died in the torrent, except for Mr. Chai, a relative with a different surname.

But it was impossible for Sikong Wan to go to the shopkeeper Renchai to inquire, so he had no choice but to come here.

She felt that Mrs. Sikong was also very good. She would bring her daughter to inquire about her, instead of marrying blindly and accepting her fate after making a marriage engagement.

Although Sikong Wan does have a crush on Lou Zixi, if Lou Zixi has a bad character, I believe Mrs. Sikong will cancel the engagement without hesitation.Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Madam, Awan and I are very close to each other. Can you please leave her to talk about yourself?"

Mrs. Sikong smiled and said: "Awan rarely has true friends in Beijing. She is lucky to be treated favorably by the princess. Then, as the princess said, let Awan stay in the palace to accompany the princess to relieve her boredom. In the afternoon I Come pick her up again.”

Murong Jiu sent Mrs. Sikong out with a smile.

After Mrs. Sikong left, Murong Jiu pulled the blushing Sikong Wan into the house, closed the door, and laughed at her:
"Awan, there's no need to be shy. I've heard that you and Zixi are engaged, and I haven't congratulated you yet. On the day of your marriage, the prince and I will definitely go for a wedding drink."

Sikong Wan said shyly: "To be honest with you, Princess, I was very nervous before I came here. Although I had heard of the Princess's reputation, I didn't expect that the Princess was so kind and made people feel close to each other. The fact that Mr. Lou and I can settle down a marriage, in my heart He was also full of joy. He was so talented and amazing. The first time my father saw him, he wanted to catch his son-in-law. The first time I saw him, I was also impressed by his grace. It’s just...it’s just that my mother is worried about the wrong person I’m entrusting..."

"I understand that Madam loves her daughter very much, and no matter how careful she is in choosing a son-in-law, she cannot be too careful. If my mother were still alive, she would be just like my mother, worried about whether her daughter would live well in the rest of her life."

From the words of his father and brother, Murong Jiu knew that his mother was an extremely kind and gentle woman, and she must also love her children as much as Mrs. Sikong.

"Don't worry, Zixi has a good character and doesn't have any bad habits. It's just that there are sudden changes in the family, and it may be easy to hide his thoughts deeper."

With that said, she told Sikong Wan what happened at Lou Zixi's house.

This is what Jun Yuyan told her last night. She lost her memory and forgot many things. Lou Zixi in the dream had a completely different temperament, but one thing was that Lou Zixi was responsible and really decided to marry a woman. , you will definitely not let down the other party.

Although Sikong Wan knew that something unexpected happened at Louzixi's family and her relatives died in the flood, she didn't know how hard it was for him to go to Beijing. He also had his legs maliciously broken, and maliciously hired a sinister doctor to fix the wrong bones for him. She didn't know I dare to imagine what the consequences would have been if Lou Zixi had not met the princess to heal him.

If the princess hadn't given him the opportunity to stand up and take the scientific examination again, she might not have seen the high-spirited but very restrained young man at all.

Hearing that something happened to the man who had bullied Lou Zixi and Shopkeeper Chai, and that the old house of the Lou family was bought by the princess and given to Lou Zixi, Sikong Wan suddenly felt deeply grateful to Murong Jiu.

"Thousand-mile horses are always there, but bole is not always there. To Mr. Lou, you are like a reborn parent!"

"That's too strong a statement. I'm not a reborn parent. Lou Zixi has outstanding abilities. He and Shopkeeper Chai are both natural geniuses. I also believe that Lou Zixi will become Dayan's minister and the pillar of the country in the future. It’s just that it hasn’t been deployed yet.”

Sikong Wan's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and she nodded heavily: "My father also commented on Mr. Lou the same way as the princess did. He said that Mr. Lou will make great achievements for Dayan sooner or later!"

"Yes, your father has chosen the best husband for you, both in terms of ability and character."

As soon as these words came out, Sikong Wan's cheeks heated up again, and he said shyly: "A man like Mr. Lou is also my husband in my heart. I don't have any lofty ambitions. Unlike the princess, who can save people and benefit the country, I My biggest wish may make you laugh when I say it. I...I want to be a wife after marriage and teach students. Mr. Lou once said that women can also show their faces, and I don’t think he will stop me."

Now it was Murong Jiu's turn to be surprised.

"Do you want to be a wife?"

"Does the princess also think that I am deviant?"

"Of course not! What we, Dayan, are short of are female teachers. You also know that some old teachers only accept male students and cannot teach female students at all. The schools we set up in the capital are now facing such a problem. "
