Fast time travel: Veteran Green Tea is showing off his acting skills again

Chapter 423 The Crown Princess is a master of metaphysics 26
The decision made by He Congli will naturally be opposed by many ministers.

All the ministers lined up, and one by one they couldn't wait to line up to give advice.

But He Congli didn't listen, saying that he was tired, so he was helped out of the hall.

Only Xia Ling was left sitting on the high seat alone, staring at the ministers who were ashamed and worried about the fate of Menglan.

For the Qianshou banquet, the imperial garden was filled with flowers that should not bloom in this season.

Xia Ling was walking in the imperial garden with the help of the palace servants, when he bumped into a child holding a kite.

Thirteen or fourteen years old.

Seeing this, the palace servants beside him immediately shouted loudly: "Bold! How dare you bump into the empress!"

The child held the kite and looked Xia Ling up and down.

"It's obviously the empress who blocked the way of my kite, how could it be my fault?"

Only the Lan Ting family was invited by the whole family today.

You can guess who the kid is without asking.

His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like bright stars, and his clear and juan face showed the confidence of a young man.

Especially those stubborn almond eyes.

He looks very similar to his mother.

Xia Ling withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him, and walked around him, leaving a sound.

"take away."

Inside the screen in the hall, Xia Ling sat quietly on a chair, looking at Jiufang Xixue who was looking uneasy.

She rubbed the teacup with her fingertips, and the hot tea passed through the porcelain cup, making her fingertips red.

"You don't remember me again, sister."

Jiufang Xixue kept her head down.

When she came, Lan Ting told her not to look into the eyes of the fox, otherwise she would be enchanted.

This sister's voice scared Jiufang Xixue and she knelt directly from the chair to the ground.

"The courtier's wife is nothing more than a commoner, so she can't bear the elder sister of the empress."

"It's okay." Xia Ling stepped forward and took her arm with his hand, and helped her up from the ground, "What are you talking about?"

Being lifted up, Jiufang Xixue subconsciously raised her eyes to meet Xia Ling's.

When the eyes meet, the heart can't be restrained.

She dodged her eyes for an instant, and her ears were red.

I thought, this fox demon charm is really extraordinary.

"At what age did you get married? Why did you marry Lan Ting? Did you want it or did your parents designate the marriage? How did he treat you well? Did he find a concubine? Are you still hunting demons now? The one kneeling outside the screen is Your eldest son? What's his name?"

After Xia Ling asked a series of questions, Jiufang Xixue didn't know what her purpose was, and she didn't know where to answer.

But inexplicably felt that the empress did not have any malicious intentions.

On the contrary... like an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, caring about everything about her.

Although a little abrupt, some people feel overwhelmed.

But that feeling is absolutely not as scary as Lan Ting said.

"When I was 15 years old, I met the master when I was catching monsters. We were two together along the way. He has a bad temper and doesn't like to talk, but he always wants to win me. Many times when I was attacked, he would always rush out to save me. Later, when we returned to the imperial capital, he went to ask for a marriage. After decades of marriage, he always treated me the same, and never had any other intentions. I have lived comfortably in these decades."

When Jiufang Xixue talked about the past, a rosy glow flew across her face, and sweetness was rippling in the dimples at the corners of her raised lips.

She glanced back at the screen.

"Behind this screen is my fourth son, Lan Jingxuan. This child has been naughty since he was a child. He is the smartest among the children, and he is also the most disobedient. It was purely unintentional that he ran into your mother today. Please forgive me. Consider his age. Little one, please forgive him."

Xia Ling smiled slightly when she heard the words, and gently held Jiufang Xixue's cold fingertips with both hands.

"Aiwujiwu. My sister's child, how could I be willing to punish him?"

She glanced at the shoes that were exposed behind the screen.

Wherever he was kneeling, he was already lying next to the screen and eavesdropping.

"This child is indeed naughty and should be well disciplined. However, I like this child's temperament. It is better to stay in the palace and educate him. I regard him as my adopted son. When the prince in my belly is born, I will ask him to be my companion."

Jiufang Xixue's hair stood on end in an instant, her heart trembled.

Children at this age are full of yang energy. It turns out that the fox demon has an idea on the child's head.

She knelt down with a "plop", "Empress! My wife's two daughters have already married, and the eldest son is not by her side now. He is the only one left, please forgive me!"

There was a slight smile in Xia Ling's voice, "Then why don't you just stay with him in the palace? Let's not talk about it, just talk to Master Lan outside the door, and we will place your mother and son in the East Palace tonight."

Jiufang Xixue hung her heart, and shouted bravely: "Your Majesty! This is unreasonable!"

"Reasonable?" Xia Ling raised his eyebrows, "Now in Menglan, I am reasonable."
-
into the night.

Xia Ling was serving the terminally ill He Congli by the bedside.

While feeding him water, tell him what happened today.

Speaking of Jiufang Xixue, He Congli felt awkward in his heart, but he also knew that Xia Ling had a deep relationship with her sisters back then.

At the beginning, in order to get Xia Ling, he cut off the friendship between the two of them.

Now that Xia Ling is by his side every day, there is nothing to worry about in the past.

"If you like it, let them stay."

He Congli was panting with difficulty, the pain all over his body made him extremely upset, he wanted to get angry, but because she was there, he still had to endure it.

"Go out and talk to her. You haven't seen each other for a long time, and you probably have a lot to say."

Xia Ling looked at He Congli worriedly, and shook his head at him, "I won't go, I don't worry about you."

"It'll be fine when you come back at night." He squeezed Xia Ling's hand with his skinny hands, "Hey, go, come back early to accompany me. I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Xia Ling insisted stubbornly: "Then I will sleep with you before leaving. I will come back before you wake up, so that you can see me when you open your eyes."

He Congli closed his eyes slowly, and said with a weak smile: "If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for."

After He Congli fell asleep, Xia Ling got up and left the bedroom, bringing several palace servants and the cook from the imperial dining room to the East Palace.

The main hall in the East Palace was pitch black.

She walked in, only looking at the brightly lit yard of the side hall.

When pushing open the door.

Jiufang Xixue was sitting opposite her son.

Unlike his mother who was frowning, Lan Jingxuan was looking around in a strange way.

In this era, at his age, he should have matured like an adult.

Now he is still so innocent and carefree, Jiufang Xixue protects him very well.

"Sister, let me come and see you. The imperial chef is already preparing dishes in the private stove. I think you have made your own decisions before you eat today."

Seeing Xia Ling coming, Jiufang Xixue stood up hastily.

"Miss."

Compared to Jiufang Xixue's formality, Lan Jingxuan stood up abruptly, smiling brightly.

"Daughter!"

"So good." Xia Ling touched Lan Jingxuan's head with his hand, "Ganniang hired a tutor for you, the best Mr. Menglan and the best Mr. Siyi. I will learn from them tomorrow, don't call me a fool." Mother is disappointed."

Jiufang Xixue was not sure, and this heart was always hanging.

Seeing that the relationship between Xin Wucheng Mansion's son and Xia Ling became closer and closer, he felt even more uneasy.

I only regret that I didn't listen to my husband back then.

This palace should not have come in the first place.

After finishing the meal, Jiufang Xixue hurriedly asked her son to go back to his room.
