The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Marquis Zhongyuan scolded Ling Xiao a few times, and finally agreed to go to Prince Xian's Mansion tomorrow.

"Don't forget that the wise king looks like a Maitreya Buddha. He smiles every day, but he is a scheming man. Otherwise, how could his son become the most favored minister of the emperor in such a short period of time?" Marquis Zhongyuan asked Ling Xiao sat down and said to him: "Think about it again. If you marry the Li family, you will be in the palace and have an extra guarantee by the emperor's side. If you lead troops to fight outside, there will be someone capable in Beijing." The help is of great benefit.”

Ling Xiao naturally understood this, but he didn't want to rely on it.

"Does father know that the emperor is ill?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? Even the doctors at the imperial hospital can't cure it?" Marquis Zhongyuan recalled that when he met the emperor the day before yesterday, the emperor's pale face was green and yellow, and then thought of Doctor Liu that Ling Xiao was looking for, "That Doctor Liu's medical skills How is it?"

"Doctor Liu's medical skills are very good." Ling Xiao said: "I asked someone quietly yesterday. Dr. Liu said that he was [-]% sure about the emperor's illness."

Marquis Zhongyuan was even more shocked, "Is Your Majesty's illness so serious?"

"The emperor has been ill for nearly a year, and the hospital is helpless." Ling Xiao whispered: "If Dr. Liu can cure him, everyone will be happy."

Marquis Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became more solemn.

"I know that you grew up with several princes, and you are closer to the King of Chu. But this time such a big thing happened in the Zhongyuan Hou Mansion. The King of Chu could obviously help you, but he tattooed Not moving at all...you have to think about some things carefully."

Ling Xiao was also a little puzzled by King Chu's performance this time, but King Chu had already sent someone to explain to him.

The reason why the King of Chu did not take action was because the Emperor had people watching the Zhongyuan Hou Mansion in the dark. The King of Chu did not know what the Emperor meant and did not want the Emperor to know about their relationship.

The visitor also said that King Chu had been secretly paying attention to Ling Xiao and was always ready to help him when he was in danger. But when he was seriously injured, wasn't he in danger?

Marquis Zhongyuan saw that although his son did not say a word, the expression on his face showed that he had listened to his words.

"Your Majesty is a person who values ​​friendship. Over the years, your father and son have been treated highly by the Emperor." Marquis Zhongyuan paused for a moment and said, "Is Doctor Liu someone you can trust?"

"So far, he is still a trustworthy person." Ling Xiao was not very confident about Liu Qian.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him." Marquis Zhongyuan said, "He was recommended by you. If he really does something, you will be the first one to be implicated."

"My son knows." Ling Xiao replied.

"It's good that you know." Marquis Zhongyuan said.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Marquis Zhongyuan asked Ling Xiao to take someone to the warehouse to pick out some calligraphy and paintings. "The King Xian likes this. I will go to apologize tomorrow and I will have to bow my head."

"When my son meets a good one, I will buy you a few more pairs." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"You tricked me like this when you were eight years old." Marquis Zhongyuan scolded, "More than ten years have passed and you are still doing this with me!"

Ling Xiao ran out with a smile.

Marquis Zhongyuan asked someone to go to the front yard and call Changfeng in.

Marquis Zhongyuan looked solemn and asked unexpectedly: "Which girl has your prince been close to recently?"

Changfeng lowered his head, without even moving his eyebrows, "As for the Marquis, the prince is not close to any girls."

Marquis Zhongyuan looked at it and frowned, "You don't have to hide it for him. Let me tell you, those of you who are following him, please be careful. If he does anything outrageous, I will be the first one I can't forgive." You people around me!”

Changfeng stood there with his head lowered and said nothing.

"You all, please keep an eye on him. Don't think that since you grew up together and he regards you as his brothers, I won't dare to touch you!" Marquis Zhongyuan waved his hand and asked Changfeng to retreat.

Changfeng walked out of the yard and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

When it comes to matters related to the Crown Prince, the old Marquis always thunders loudly and rains lightly, and the people around the Crown Prince are all aware of it.

The next day, before Zhongyuan Hou and his son went to Prince Xian's Mansion, the emperor announced that they would enter the palace immediately to discuss matters concerning the reception of Prince Ru of the Tartars who came to Beijing with Zuo Zixi.Zuo Xiangning heard that her eldest brother would return to Beijing tomorrow, and she almost jumped with joy.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly asked people to prepare the dishes, and Cai's mother and others started to prepare snacks and fruits.

Zuo Xiangning directed the housekeeper to hang up all the red lanterns in the house.

The entire Zuofu was filled with joy and was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

Only Shi'antang was lifeless and there was no sound at all.

"What's going on outside?" Old Mrs. Zuo was lighting a fire, and people in the yard didn't even dare to walk loudly.

"Old slave, go and ask." Mother Wang hurriedly walked out of the door.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came back and said, "Uncle, I'll be back tomorrow."

"What will happen if he comes back? They are all unfilial sons!" Old Mrs. Zuo scolded.

Mother Wang stood nearby and said cautiously: "I heard that the uncle will be promoted this time when he returns to Beijing. This will be a good thing for Zuofu to shine on the family lintel."

"What does his promotion have to do with me?" Mrs. Zuo sneered, "The bigger his official position is, the prouder the Jiang family will be, and the less likely we, mother and son, will have a place in this mansion."

Mother Wang cautiously advised: "The Zuo family will still have the uncle to support the family in the future, and the uncle will continue the incense of the Zuo family in the future..."

"What are you still dreaming about? Look at how Jiang treats our mother and son now? Look at the white-eyed wolves she raised, who has said a word for us? Do you still want to count on him? Please wake up!"

Mother Wang didn't dare to say anything more.

The old lady Zuo said to herself: "I can see that when Xiangyun was here, they were still a little scrupulous. Now that Xiangyun is gone, they are simply lawless! If you don't give them some color, They can really destroy us to death!"

Mother Wang secretly regretted that she was getting old and it looked like she would still have to fold in front of the old lady.

If I had known this, I should have retired and returned to my hometown the year before last to entertain my grandson.

Why do you need to covet this wealth?
I thought that just by saying a few nice words to the old lady, I would become popular and drink hot food. Not only would I have someone to take care of me, but I would also get some money to support my son.

Now it seems that she is going to be in trouble, and she has to make a good plan for herself.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xiangning went to the youth courtyard dressed beautifully.

Jiang also rarely wore a sapphire blue jacket.

"Mom, this dress is so beautiful." Zuo Xiangning smiled and took Jiang's arm.

"You have such a sweet mouth." Jiang smiled and nodded her forehead.

As soon as the mother and daughter arrived in the front yard, they saw Aunt Jiang's family, Zuo Zimo, and Jiang Ruochen arriving.

While several people were talking, Zuo Ziteng also arrived.

Zuo Zimo said to Zuo Ziteng and Jiang Ruochen: "Second brother, third cousin, let's go to the gate and have a look?"

"Okay." Jiang Ruochen agreed.

Zuo Ziteng didn't speak, but followed them.

Jiang looked at the gloomy Zuo Ziteng and felt secretly unhappy.

Her youngest son was careless. She had been having nightmares these days, dreaming that her youngest son would fall into the hands of this bastard.
