The Way of Favors

After Xu Jin left, Fu Rong had a little insomnia.

In fact, there is no deep hatred between her and Xu Jin.

The two lifetimes combined, Fu Rong was annoyed by Xu Jin's nothing more than three things. He was indifferent to Lianxiangxiyu in his previous life, but her identity was placed there, and it was normal for Xu Jin to look down on her. Secondly, he has to look at her pits, which is not a big mistake. In fact, if Xu Jin is not cold, Fu Rong thinks that he is a little like his younger brother, teasing her everywhere, hate but not hate. Three annoyed that he has been stubborn and stubborn in his life to marry her, but Xu Jin likes her looks like this, and Xu Jin hasn't really forced her, so he can barely be considered half a gentleman.

I don't like it or hate it.

Therefore, apart from secretly cursing him to die when he was furious, Fu Rong did not really hope that Xu Jin would die early. The couple would pay a hundred days of grace one night. What she hopes most is that Xu Jin can be an idle prince, wealthy and leisure, and a long life, just like Xu Yan. , Have a good time.

But she was just a woman trapped in the backyard. Her father didn't dare to mix things up, especially the fight between the princes, and she was even more helpless. If she marries Xu Jin in the future, she will naturally try her best to save his life, otherwise, she can only hope that the long life thread will work.

Tossing and turning, fell asleep at midnight.

When I woke up, I felt something wrong underneath. I stretched out my hand and touched it, and it turned red.

Fu Rong sighed sighingly. Rarely, her mother agreed to take her to Feng Laiyi for shopping. This would not be possible. She had a regular monthly schedule, but on the first day her stomach was uncomfortable, and the treatments did not work.

Fu Xuan came over in the morning and wanted to go to the front yard with her sister to meet her mother. He learned that Fu Rong was not feeling well. Fu Xuan asked her to rest in bed and went to the front yard by herself. "Mother, my sister is coming to the front yard. Have you gone there for peace?"

Qiao's was a little surprised, count the days, it is indeed these few days, he smiled and said: "No, your grandmother loves us, it won't mind, then after the meal, the lady will take Xuanxuan to go shopping." It can't be because of a daughter. Inconvenient to go out, he left out the other daughter.

Fu Xuan refused: "Wait until my sister gets better. I'm young and I didn't need to add anything."

The youngest daughter loves books but not beauty, Qiao smiled and squeezed her face: "Okay, mother let your brother go to the bookstore to pick some good books for you to see."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan's eyes finally had the excitement that a ten-year-old girl should have.

After the meal, Fu Xuan went to speak with Fu Rong. Qiao was busy helping her daughter-in-law choose a house. Dafang didn't need her to help, so she didn't take the initiative to join in the fun.

While Fu Rong was resting at home, Xu Jin entered the palace in a humble manner.

The dynasty had already dispersed, he went directly to Chongzheng Hall to return.

Emperor Jiahe was talking to the prince. Hearing that the **** Wanquan reported to the king for seeing him, Longyan Dayue said, "Call him in!"

Wanquan bent over and backed out.

There was a surprise on the prince's face: "The fourth brother has been here for more than a month. The wind and the sun are really hard."

Emperor Jiahe praised the four sons without hesitation: "You are a prince, you should not go out. The second one can only eat. I suspect that he can still ride a horse. The fifth and the sixth are still young, so I will count on him. Four out of business."

The prince smiled and answered, but his heart was bitter.

He was the eldest son from the palace, and he was crowned the son at the age of his first birthday. After the father became the crown prince, he seemed to enjoy a lot of favors, but only a few people in the palace knew that the fourth son was the father's favorite son. Because the fourth child is the first prince born after his father's ascension to the throne, because he looks the most like his father, because he is a young general who has stood on the battlefield for the great Wei royal family at a young age...

With the sound of footsteps, someone strode in.

The prince looked over with a smile.

Xu Jin did not squint, and when he came in, he knelt down on one knee to Emperor Jiahe: "The sons and ministers have seen the father and the prince."

Emperor Jiahe smiled and asked him to get up, looked carefully at it, and said: "It's dark and thin, hasn't it been a hard journey?"

Xu Jin sternly said: "If you can relieve your father's worries, why bother with children?"

He was always serious and didn't smile easily, so Emperor Jiahe didn't greet him anymore and asked directly what the result was.

When it comes to this, Xu Jin's face became serious, and he handed over the folds he had drawn up too early and said: "A total of five counties have been found to be corrupt. The children and officials obeyed the order of the father and the emperor. Two directly beheaded more than one thousand taels, but less than one thousand taels. Pressed into the prison, ordered the five counties and counties to temporarily assume the post of the prefect, and the prefects and other officials will make arrangements."

Emperor Jiahe took the Zhezi and looked at it, and sighed, "Every year, officials corrupt and repair the levee. They are all lucky. How can they not think about how many lives would it be if the Yellow River bursts? !"

The prince said: "Father is not angry, punishing corrupt officials is not a short-term success, the father has passed the exam, and the trend of corruption has been greatly reduced."

"That's your emperor's grandfather's contribution. I just continue to do it." Emperor Jiahe is not a person who is very happy with his achievements. He is very clear about his own merits and demerits. He clapped his hands and said to the two people: "I have something to do, you go down first, fourth Don't forget to visit your mother and concubine."

Xu Jin should be, and went out of the Chongzheng Palace with the prince.

The prince took the lead, and Xu Jin was two steps behind. As he walked, the prince leaned his head and boasted: "Just now my father was still complimenting you, saying that you are the most capable brothers. Your errands are really good. More Share the worries for your father, your second brother is so lazy, we can't count on him."

Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "How dare I compare my skills to the prince, if the prince is not inconvenient to go out, these errands will be better than me. In fact, I can live up to my father's high expectations, because the prince’s guidance since childhood, there is no prince to mention. I’m afraid I’ve been scolded by my father a long time ago, so I’m better off than my second brother."

The prince chuckled: "The fourth ah, the fourth, I will become more and more able to talk when I go out. Okay, I will go back to the East Palace first, and you can visit Empress Shu." After speaking, he turned around and went down the steps outside the hall. The yellow prince's brocade robe is dazzling in the sun.

Xu Jin took a second look and then went to Zhaoning Palace.

Concubine Shu had already learned that her son had entered the palace, and sent someone early to prepare tea fruit that his son loved. When Xu Jin entered the palace gate, she welcomed her out.

Xu Jin paused and looked at his mother.

In addition to the queen, Concubine Shu is the only concubine in the palace who gave birth to two princes, and also the favorite concubine of Emperor Jiahe. No matter how many beauties of fifteen and sixteen years old come in, Emperor Jiahe will rest in Zhaoning Palace three or four nights every month. Three or four nights may not seem to be many, but Emperor Jiahe paid great attention to body maintenance and insisted on recruiting people to go to bed every other day. That is to say, Emperor Jiahe only had half a month to favor concubines in the harem. The old man in the hidden mansion who has been petted the most times, the concubine Duan who was selected later is not as good as her.

Such an identity is indeed worthy of the word "love concubine", but Concubine Shu acts low-key. Apart from attending the banquet, she usually dresses like an ordinary lady of the noble family. For example, she only wears an embroidered lavender today. Mujinhua's homely jewel, without too much jewelry on his head, stood there and smiled softly, like a ball of spring water.

Xu Jin felt sour.

My mother is so good. After the age of seven, he never got close to her again. He didn't want to, or he couldn't. The mother was the only person in the palace who knew that he was suffering from a strange disease. She was the first to notice and tell He must keep it secret, even his father cannot tell.

"Mother." He called in a low voice.

Concubine Shu looked at him with a smile, and took the initiative to stand three steps away, inviting him to go in and asked: "Is the capital that I returned to in the morning? Have you eaten? I have ordered the kitchen to cook noodles for you, and you are going all the way. I don’t want to eat anymore. Drink some soup for an appetizer."

Xu Jin didn't feel hungry at first, so he screamed twice, his face was faint: "My mother is still thoughtful."

The mother and son entered the main house and said a few errands, and soon the maid came up with a tray, a big bowl of steaming beef noodles, sliced ​​beef, sprinkled with green onion, coriander, and smelling. There was a small bowl next to the big bowl. Concubine Shu smiled and brought the small bowl in front of her: "I must be greedy just watching you eat, Jingxing, don't laugh at me."

Xu Jin lowered his head to conceal the soreness in his eyes: "Niangken eats with me, I eat more fragrant."

I don't know what life was like when their mother died in the palace in the previous life. The queen didn't like her mother. The prince always regarded him as a thorn in the eye. Their brothers were gone. After the father died, the mother was still left to crunch?

"Where is the sixth brother?" Xu Jin raised his head and asked after eating a few bites of noodles. "Has the sixth brother got into trouble recently?"

Concubine Shu shook her head: "No, your father praised him a few days ago when he was taking school homework exams, that he always wanted to run outside the palace."

Xu Jin knew where his brother was going, looked at the empty palace, and persuaded: "Mother, take the cousin to the palace for a while." On the day of her younger sister's death, the aunt gave birth to her cousin smoothly, and the mother came out of her grief. He valued his cousin, and was often ordered to be carried to the palace. My younger brother and cousin were childhood sweethearts, no wonder they always wanted to go to find her. Anyway, they will get married sooner or later, so it's better to call people into the palace to prevent the younger brother from running away.

Concubine Shu thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about it after the Dragon Boat Festival. Let her spend the festival at home and spend two days with me. Your aunt will not bear it either."

Xu Jin sneered in her heart. The woman wanted her daughter to come in often. One family, apart from the grandfather, was a little sincere towards her mother, who was not looking forward to profiting from their mother and son?

After speaking, he was not a prince to stay in the harem any longer, and he left the palace after sitting for a while.

Wanting to go to Feng Laiyi to see, Xu Jia whispered to report: "Master, the mother and daughter of Fu have never gone out today."

Xu Jin frowned. Last night she triumphantly said that she was going to Feng Laiyi to choose more beautiful pearls. Why didn't she go? Could something be wrong?

When night fell, Xu Jin couldn't help but went to Jingyanghoufu again.

Fu Rong drank the warm tonic soup, and fell asleep long ago.

Xu Jin picked up the veil, and the familiar daughter's fragrance drifted into his nose. He took a deep breath, but he smelled a little blood.

Xu Jin was shocked.

His nose is not good, but because of that illness, he is very sensitive to women's body scent, and he can't bear it by others. He has a deep memory of Fu Rong, the only daughter he likes.

But seeing the little girl's ruddy face in sleep didn't seem to have happened.

Xu Jin sat on the side of the bed, his eyes swept over her exposed body. It was already hot now, Fu Rong's quilt only covered his chest, abdomen and waist, his arms and legs were all exposed, and the snowy skin under the pale pink tulle was looming. Xu Jin didn't bother at this time. He checked every inch and confirmed that there was no injury. He gently tossed her quilt away.

It's not like being injured.

Xu Jin was puzzled, couldn't help but leaned closer to distinguish the source of the smell, and gradually turned his eyes to her.

Xu Jin's face was hot, thinking that he had visited her a few times, and she was uncomfortable and couldn't wait for the bedtime. He returned in defeat.

Women are really troublesome.

Across the tulle, Xu Jin gently kissed Fu Rong's thigh, and then carefully covered her with the quilt. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he watched quietly for a while and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, when I lifted the net, I heard the mosquito humming.

Xu Jin's expression changed, he quickly put down the tent and looked at the source of the sound.

A little mosquito flew into the bed without any haste, almost unable to see clearly.

Xu Jin had never done anything to slap mosquitoes, but when he looked at Fu Rong's pretty face outside, he paused, raised his leg and half-kneeled on the bed, and searched carefully.

After a while, the man concealed his gauze and left.

The author has something to say:

Mosquito: You are so **** gentle that I can't eat a bite of meat...

King Su: If this king hasn't eaten it yet, how can you be the first?

King Su: I shot you mosquitoes, are you moved?

Fu Rong: ...that you put it in. Do you think I'm asleep and don't know?
