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

Zuo Zixi came back from outside and learned that Zuo's father had woken up, so he hurried to Shi'an Hall.

"Father, when will your illness heal?" Zuo Zixi knelt in front of Zuo Yian and bowed to him politely, "My son has been away from home all year round and has not fulfilled his filial piety in front of his father. Please forgive me. .”

Zuo Yian sat up from the bed, looked at his eldest son carefully, and said after a long time: "Get up, the ground is cold."

Zuo Zixi stood up from the ground and said respectfully: "My son will leave Beijing in a few days. I can finally see my father recovering from his illness before leaving Beijing. I feel relieved at last."

"You are at the border. You don't have to worry about your family. As long as you take good care of yourself, your father will be relieved." Seeing that Zuo Zixi's tone was sincere and not pretending, Zuo Yian softened his attitude and said, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are hard to have both. , you have served your country loyally, and your father is very proud of you. When you go back this time, remember to write more letters to your family in your free time, so that your father can know your current situation, so as not to worry day and night."

"My son has remembered it," Zuo Zixi said.

"I'm in good health these days, and I have to take care of myself for a while. It will be three or two years since you left the capital. Every relationship in the capital that needs to be maintained must be carefully walked around. It's better to live in a village than to live in a village. One mouthful, if the money is not enough, you can tell your mother." Zuo Yian has been an official in the court for many years, and his beautiful words come out of his mouth without even writing a draft.

But Zuo Zixi was moved to tears.

This was the first time in so many years that his father had said such tender words to him.

"Thank you for your concern, father." Zuo Zixi said with a choked voice.

Zuo Yian's heart moved, and he attracted his eldest son with a gentler expression: "You are my eldest son, and the child I value most among you brothers and sisters. In the past, I was worried that your mother would be too doting on you, so I alienated you. , lest you develop a lawless temper, but now that you have grown up, I naturally no longer need to deliberately neglect you."

Zuo Zixi looked at his father in shock.

If his father had said this two years earlier, he might have believed it.

But what his father said now only made him feel unusual.

"It's the son's unfilial piety that makes his father worry so much."

"You and I are father and son, so you don't have to be so polite to me." Zuo Yi'an smiled happily: "Seeing that you brothers and sisters can live well, I can also smile as a father."

"Father will definitely live a long and healthy life!" Zuo Zixi said hurriedly.

Zuo Yi'an smiled and nodded, "It's been a tiring day outside. Come back and rest."

Zuo Zixi left Shi'an Hall and hurried to Fanghua Courtyard.

When he entered the room, he saw Jiang and Zuo Xiangning sitting there with sullen expressions on their faces. They asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Your father is awake," Jiang said.

"I just came back from Shi'antang." Zuo Zixi said strangely, "I don't think my father just woke up today."

Jiang glanced at Zuo Xiangning.

Just now Zuo Xiangning told Jiang that her eldest brother would leave the capital in a few days and that she should not let her eldest brother know about the family affairs to avoid worrying him.

Jiang smiled and said to her son, "It's a good thing that your father has recovered from his illness. You don't have to worry. I will ask the doctor to come and check on him every day."

Zuo Zixi raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother and sister, wondering: "I see why you seemed so preoccupied just now?"

"Your sister and I were talking about other things." Jiang said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Liu went to the Min Mansion today. Mr. Min said that the emperor will grant a marriage to you and Jade Girl in the next two days."

"The emperor wants to grant a marriage?" Zuo Zixi was quite surprised, "Is it Master Min who went to ask the emperor for a decree?"

"Master Liu didn't say this." Jiang said with a smile: "Maybe the emperor heard the news that our two families are getting engaged and wants to reward you with a favor."

Zuo Zixi smiled and said, "This matter has caused my mother to worry."

"Silly boy." Jiang asked with a smile: "Have you packed all your things? If you are still missing something, just tell me and I will have someone prepare it for you. I still have a few pieces of fine leather. Your fourth sister made you a big cloak and two pairs of kneepads. When the weather is cold, you must remember to put it on." "My son will remember it." Zuo Zixi agreed with a smile.

His eyes looked at Zuo Xiangning. It was obvious that his sister had not yet told her mother about her intention to get married.

The two siblings left Fanghuayuan together. Zuo Zixi asked, "When are you going to tell your mother that you want to get married?"

"Hasn't the imperial edict not been issued yet?" Zuo Xiangning said with a very calm mind: "Until the last moment, there is no guarantee that things will turn around."

"I saw Prince Ru today." Zuo Zixi said, "I asked him to meet at Jingyin Temple tomorrow."

"Thank you, brother." Zuo Xiangning smiled and saluted Zuo Zixi.

Zuo Zixi smiled and touched the top of her hair, "I will take you to buy a set of jewelry tomorrow."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning happily agreed, "I want pure gold."

"Whatever you choose." Zuo Zixi waved to her and hurried back to the front yard.

Zuo Xiangning walked to Xianglanzhai alone.

Passing by the door of Yuxiangzhai, Yutao saluted her at the door, "Fourth girl, third girl, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Zuo Xiangning shook her head and said: "Tell you girls, I still have something to do. When I get something free, I will go find you girls."

Zuo Xiangning walked forward without stopping.

Yutao took two steps behind her and said, "Fourth girl, our girl said, don't you want to know about Young Master Ciao?"

Zuo Xiangning stopped and said, "Tell you girls that I will go back and explain something."

"Then we three girls will be waiting for you." Yutao agreed with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning went back and changed into a cloak, and asked Bingyu to go with her.

Now she always feels that her family is not at peace, and she has to be on guard against Zuo Xiangyu.

When Zuo Xiangning saw her coming in, she just glanced at her lightly and didn't say those weird words like before.

"Come over and have a cup of tea. I asked Yu Tao to buy a new one yesterday." Zuo Xiangyu poured her a cup of tea.

Zuo Xiangning sat on the chair next to her and asked with a smile: "What does the third sister want from me? Let's just talk about it directly."

"Fourth sister is really different now." Zuo Xiangyu couldn't help but said sourly, but then coughed lightly and said bluntly: "I know where Zuo Shiqi comes from, and I also know where my father is. How to recover from illness..."

Zuo Xiangyu paused when she said this, and looked at Zuo Xiangning and stopped talking.

Zuo Xiangning also looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

The two were silent for a while, then Zuo Xiangning said, "Third sister, please tell me the conditions."

"Fourth sister is really smart." Zuo Xiangyu first praised Zuo Xiangning, and then continued: "The condition I want to exchange with you is that you find a way to help me marry the fifth prince. The fifth prince’s concubine.”

Zuo Xiangning said "ha" and almost didn't laugh out loud, "Third sister, you really think highly of your sister. How can I be so capable? Who can make the final decision on the fifth prince's marriage except the emperor?"

"I know that the fourth sister Bingxue is smart and loved by everyone. Even the emperor summoned her twice, right?" Zuo Xiangyu said with a smile: "As long as it is something my sister wants to do, she will definitely have a way to do it."
