Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

This rare ice-breaking trip between grandfather and grandson started when Hai Lingchen took the initiative to go home without warning on a whim, and ended with Hai Lingchen leaving in anger and frustration.

In fact, neither grandfather nor grandson noticed that their tempers were exactly the same as the other's.

Carve out a mold!

But no one is willing to bow to anyone first!

The old man has a lot of airs in Duandi!

But also with style!

Originally, his grandson took the initiative to come back to visit him. Although the old man had put on airs, it was rare for Hai Lingchen to go down the steps first. The old man also prepared to give his grandson the steps, so they both got off together!

But this brat actually asked him if he was sick!

It's enough for him to step down!

No matter how angry he was, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction with this brat in a normal way! Didn't even hit him! But this brat didn't know what to do and got into trouble with him again!

My brain was eaten by a dog!

The old man is angry!

But the old man is angry with the old man, and Hai Lingchen is also angry with Hai Lingchen!

Just like that, everything was going well at first, but by the end of the last meal, the grandfather and grandson had already broken up in a bad mood without even taking a bite or two!

Looking at the table full of dishes, I remembered that this was the first and only time in half a year that Hai Lingchen accompanied me to eat together; especially, this was a full bowl filled by Hai Lingchen for me, and then came out What a big head...

The old man froze!

Then, the old man didn't speak or move for a long time, as if he had fallen into another calmer and calmer meditation...

The old man said nothing, and the servants serving in the dining room did not dare to come forward.

They all lowered their heads, and could only let the old man sit like this for now, and wait until he calmed down and started chewing loudly.

After all, no one dares to get into trouble with the angry Duke.

It had been a long time since the lively dining room had been there because of the Third Young Master, but now it suddenly became a deserted place again.

It's not that the Duke of Guo has no other grandsons or other young masters in the family; it's that the other young masters are more afraid of the Duke of Guo.

With a look from the Duke, the table fell silent.

When the Duke of Guo was there, the entire table was eating quietly and orderly.

Unless the Duke asks questions, no one will take the initiative to say anything.

The habits that the Duke of Guo had developed over many years in the army had long been brought back to the mansion; moreover, therefore, the Duke of Guo did not like procrastination in everything, did not like people chirping while eating, did not like people hesitating, and did not like ambiguity. I don’t know, I don’t like being obedient and contradictory...

But those who are afraid of the Duke of Guo will inevitably tremble in their hearts when they see the Duke of Guo, and they will be timid in speaking and doing things. But the more they are like this, the easier it is to be noticed by the Duke of Guo. When the Duke of Guo frowns, the other person will The more nervous you become, the more it becomes a vicious cycle!

Therefore, everyone in the mansion knew that the Duke of Guo liked the Third Young Master the most!

Because the Third Young Master is not only courageous, but also magnanimous!

Among the young masters in the mansion, the third young master is the one who can face the Duke the most directly.

Although the Duke of Guo said he was annoyed, he really liked the Third Young Master the most in his heart. This kind of liking was almost written directly on his face!

But as the third son grew up, especially from the age of twelve or thirteen, he liked to confront the Duke of Guo. In the past, he thought that the Duke of Guo was right in everything and admired the Duke of Guo. He would question everything he said and felt that the Duke was stubborn and stubborn.

But at that time, the Duke of Guo could still control the Third Young Master.

Therefore, the grandfather and grandson are still in a suppressive balance and have not caused too many waves.

But when the Third Young Master grew older, that is, starting from the age of fourteen or fifteen, to about sixteen years old, the Third Young Master's temperament gradually became more stable, and he also had his own circle in the capital, and the level of confrontation with the Duke Tongguo became more and more intense. It became more and more intense, and even embarrassed the Duke in public.

The most troublesome thing is the Spring Festival banquet for most of the year.

The entire capital watched. Fortunately, the emperor came to the rescue, otherwise the scene would have been really ugly.

But since the Spring Festival Banquet, the Third Young Master moved out of the Duke's Mansion out of anger, and he still lives in Luming Lane until now.

This was the first time that I suddenly returned to the Duke's mansion. Everyone in the mansion was surprised. They also said that the Third Young Master had changed his temper and was willing to bow his head to the Duke and admit his mistake. He even gave the old man the food, but he didn't expect that his demeanor would suddenly turn upside down. Sun and Sun started arguing again.

This time, the Third Young Master didn't leave on his own. The Duke of Guo said "Get lost" in anger, and the Third Young Master was stunned for a moment before he got up and left.

This afternoon, there were twists and turns that no one expected.

Originally, the Duke of Guo was in a very good mood, but suddenly he was poured down by a basin of cold water.

Who dares to speak in front of the old man at this time?

So the dining room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

After a while, someone came from the concierge to announce that the Third Young Master had just left the house. The servants had no choice but to pass the news to the Duke.

The old man seemed to be suddenly pulled out of his thoughts.

gone……

Suddenly, all the anger in the old man's heart seemed to be gone.

The frustration is visibly reflected on his face.

The surrounding servants suddenly felt the same.

But it was only for a moment, and then suddenly, "I don't know who this stubborn temper looks like!"

The old man's painting style suddenly changed again, and he yelled out in anger!

The servants who were still immersed in their heartache and sympathy for the old man just now said: "..."

cough cough.

The servants bowed their heads again.

The old man has such a bad temper!

He must have been confused by the Third Young Master!

You might get angry again later!

It’s better not to be a thorn in the side at this time.

The servants were cautious, even breathing restrained.

But after waiting and waiting, there was no further complaint from the old man. Instead, there was the sound of chopsticks touching the plate and bowl? ! !

A group of servants: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a?!!

Listen again!

(⊙o⊙)...

That's right!

It must have been the sound of chopsticks touching plates and bowls, and...

The sound of eating and chewing vegetables!

The servants held their breath!

Good guy!

Is the sun coming out from the west?

The servants were so curious that they couldn't help but subconsciously open one eye to take a peek!

Ouch~ The old man is really eating! Moreover, he was still eating the food that the Third Young Master had given him just now!

The old man didn’t even use his chopsticks to put anything on the plate!

Just eat what’s in your own bowl!

But in such a cold weather, the food must be cold...

It's just that the old man didn't say a word, just lowered his head and ate silently. After all, he was over fifty, but it still made people feel inexplicably distressed, but at the same time, it made people feel that the food was delicious. What was going on?

In particular, he started to mouth more and more as he went back, and then he nodded without even noticing, looking very satisfied.

A group of servants: "..."

Whoops!

When the Third Young Master was here, he looked cold and determined not to eat even a bite.

However, the Third Young Master left, and I sat there quietly eating the food that the Third Young Master had just brought...

From the looks of it, he won't stop until he finishes eating...

The servants went from peeking with one eye open to watching with wide eyes.

Now that I’m watching it, I feel deeply moved.

The old man has a bad temper, so why not the third young master?

Correct!

That's right!

Hai Lingchen, who had just come out of the Duke's Mansion and had nowhere to go, suddenly felt agitated!

He really wanted to find someone to talk to about his grievances, but how could he tell his 'funny friends' that he cared about the old man? !

Then he must give in to the old man first without being laughed at by them?

Ah!

Don't even think about it!

Although, of course he doesn't care what these people think!

but……

However, we can't let these words reach the old man's ears in a roundabout way. The old man thought he was so easy to handle!

Yes!

He just suddenly cared about him!

He deserves this extra step!

bah bah bah!

The old man looked like this, even yelling at him would make him angry, at least he was very lively now!

There are so many uncles and children at home, so there is no need for him to worry about a guy who hasn't been back home for more than half a year!

The Gongzhonghe Tai Hospital alone could deserve the attention of a hundred of them...

He shouldn't have gotten hot-headed.

Hai Lingchen was speechless.

But it was understandable that he seemed relieved to see that the old man still had the energy to scold him.

Anyway, although it was strange, it was a mixture of anger and calmness.

It’s not like I have to complain to those losers!

Go horse riding at a racecourse?

The thought flashed through my mind.

Riding horses every day!

It’s not an outlet!

The horse cannot understand, and it is even less likely that the horse will understand!

I don’t even understand what I’m talking about to a horse...

Suddenly, Hai Lingchen was stunned.

An idea flashed in my mind. Others didn't understand it, but the old lady definitely understood it!

This thought made Hai Lingchen feel both sad and happy!

Sadly, he actually thought of the old lady!

So happy, why didn't he think of the old lady earlier?

In fact, the old lady is quite nice!

He doesn't have the pretensions of the old people in Beijing, so he can still play together!

Quite happy!

At least, in front of the old lady, he is not the third son of the Duke of Guo who needs to be praised, nor is he a junior who needs to be lectured.

In front of the old lady, he was Hai Lingchen.

This person Hai Lingchen...

Yes, he can go to the old lady!

The old lady must know how depressed he is!

I also know how difficult it is to get along with his old man!

The old lady will definitely comfort him!

At worst, you can bake sweet potatoes with the old lady!

The more Hai Lingchen thought about it, the more he thought!

Waiting for the attendant to lead the horse forward, "Third Young Master..."

The attendants were afraid that he would be depressed, so they carefully tested him to see where he was going.

But Hai Lingchen jumped on his horse without thinking. Before the attendant could catch up, he saw Juechen riding away!

The attendant sighed in his heart, and could only watch the familiar figure disappear from the end of his eyes.

In the Mingxin Palace, Zhong Xiang stood up and said, "I understand what your Majesty means. I will let someone handle it now. Your Majesty will wait for good news. I will retire."

Zhong Xiang stood up, and the Emperor also stood up, "I will give the teacher a ride."

Zhong Xiang was old, but he shook his head, "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The king, the king, and the ministers are the foundation of the court. How can you mess up the etiquette and follow the rules?"

The emperor understood, and smiled and said, "After sitting in the palace for a long time, I just went to the garden to get some fresh air."

The emperor did not show kindness to Zhong Xiang, but he handled it appropriately.

Zhong Xiang pursed his lips and nodded.

The emperor is wise.

"Teacher was seriously ill during my tour to the south this time. He is recovering now. I asked the teacher to work hard again. It is true that the court cannot do without the teacher." As he walked out of the palace, the emperor talked to Zhong Xiang.

Prime Minister Zhong sighed, "Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, diligent in political affairs, and has never wasted time in playing. This is a blessing to the court and a blessing to all people. I am not yet in my seventies, so I should do my best. However, things in the court may not be able to do anything." Taking everything into account, the border is in turmoil now, and the Nanping Marquis Mansion’s entry into Beijing is a difficult problem placed in front of His Majesty..."

It's time to reach the clock phase.

The emperor knew it well. On the way from the inner hall to the outside of the hall, everyone else had turned away. The emperor said softly, "Teacher, what do you mean, should I go with the flow and let Xu Jinan leave the capital?"

When the emperor mentioned this, Zhong Xiang blew his sleeves and coughed twice. He also coughed softly and said, "Whether a chess piece is a useless chess piece or a good chess piece has nothing to do with the chess piece itself. It has to do with putting it aside." Wherever it is, it is a chess piece. The fiefdom of Ping'an Hou's Mansion is in Yundong, which controls the lifeline of the east. The chess piece in this position is to play chess. The late emperor successively left two brothers, Xu Jiming and Xu Jin'an, in the capital. Ping'an's Mansion is in Yundong is gradually being ignored. The imperial court has successively taken back the pass and the prosperous land from the east. Whether this useless chess piece should be kept in the capital depends on your Majesty. Your Majesty wants to settle it once and for all, eliminate future troubles forever, and let the Marquis Mansion be safe. The influence of one lineage in Yundong has completely disappeared; it is still the land of the world, although it is the land of the king, there must be someone to protect the land, and it does not matter if you think of your majesty's favor..."

After Zhong Xiang finished speaking, he coughed again.

This time it was Zhongke.

The emperor's thoughts were still thinking about Xiang Zhong's words just now, but he stopped immediately and said, "Prepare a sedan chair for the teacher."

Lu Zhiyuan handed over his hand.

Prime Minister Zhong stopped him, "I have received countless honors, and the emperor's favor should be reflected elsewhere."

After Zhong Xiang finished speaking, his eyes happened to be turned to the flower arrangement on the side, and he glanced at it intentionally.

The emperor has a panoramic view.

Waiting outside the palace, Prime Minister Zhong said goodbye again.

The emperor did not follow, but watched Zhong Xiang go away.

She was supported by teachers all the way.

The teacher knows very well what she wants and how she should do it...

When Zhong Xiang's figure disappeared from the corridor, the emperor turned around.

The words that Prime Minister Zhong had said before were all in his mind, there was the Marquis of Ping'an, the Marquis of Nanping, and the two countries in the north that were about to make a move...

In the midst of his thoughts, the emperor stopped.

Lu Zhiyuan went to see off Zhong Xiang on behalf of the emperor. Following the emperor now was Lu Zhiyuan's apprentice, Bajiao.

Always serving the emperor, the most important thing is his eyesight.

Wherever the emperor's footsteps stopped, where his eyes fell, and even in which direction his eyes wandered, and what he had a little more interest and thought in, he had to be clear in his mind.

For example, right now, the emperor stopped in front of a vase of flowers.

Basho knew very well that this bottle was the one that Zhong Xiang took a second look at when he passed by just now, and then looked at the emperor again.

Then the emperor really stopped in front of this vase of flowers...

"Put it in by Hengwu? I didn't pay attention to it earlier." the emperor mentioned.

"Your Majesty, it was the Marquis of Nanping who arranged it for Heng Wu when she entered the palace."

The emperor turned his eyes and glanced at him, "Does she still have this leisure time?"

Basho lowered his head, "It was Hengwu who knocked over the flower branches..."

When the plantains are ordered, the emperor will know clearly.

——The veteran has received countless honors, and the emperor's favor should be reflected elsewhere.

The teacher told her that Fu Boyun was dead...

The emperor lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's quite unique, thank you."

Basho was stunned: "..."

But the emperor has already gone far.

Basho came to his senses and quickly followed, "Your Majesty, what is the reward?"

In the Nanping Hou Mansion, the lanterns were lit for the first time.

But looking at the plate of chrysanthemum cakes taken out from the exquisite food box in front of him, Ruan Tao frowned.

He Ma whispered, "Madam, this is a gift from the Emperor. It means that Your Majesty is thinking about Madam. You can't frown if Madam doesn't like it~"

Ruan Tao's frown deepened, but whether His Majesty was thinking of her or the plate of chrysanthemum cakes in front of her gave her a headache...

"Madam, you have to take a bite anyway, what if the emperor asks about it one day?" Mother He said seriously.

But Ruan Tao obviously felt that Mother He was drooling.

"Can I just say it's not delicious?" Ruan Tao had a big head.

He Ma was annoyed.
