Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion

Seeing Murong Ling, Xing Xiuyan was also a little frightened, so she hurriedly said with a smile, "Let's not play this game anymore, let's play something else! Let's go play hide-and-seek! My sister is here to find you, okay?"

Murong Ling pouted, "Sister, I'm hungry. I want to eat noodles. Sister, cook the noodles for me."

Xing Xiuyan thought that Murong Ling hadn't eaten anything for a long time, "Okay, then let's go back to Songbaiyuan, and I'll cook noodles for you."

Murong Ling was happy now, and turned around, "Brother Li, come here, the noodles my sister cooks are delicious! Brother Li, come together!"

Zhao Mingli was not interested in noodles, but his little brother was so enthusiastic, he didn't know how to refuse, so he looked at Zhao Yuan, "Father?"

"Go, don't bring your brother around!" Zhao Yuan preached habitually.

The eldest princess scolded: "You're here again! Li'er, don't listen to your father, a child must act like a child. When your cousin was your age, he climbed trees to dig bird's nests, went into the water to catch fish, Didn’t do any ridiculous things. When your father was a child, he did these stupid things. I remember one time, you and Qingran, with a fan tied behind their backs, climbed up a rockery and said they wanted to learn to fly. Seen by Qingran's second aunt, she fainted from fright.

In front of his wife and son, Zhao Yuan, who was exposed by his aunt about the embarrassing incident, was very embarrassed, "Auntie, why don't you just say it? Save me some face!" Zhao Yuan turned his head and saw the unbelievable expression on his face Son, Zhao Yuan looked away uncomfortably, "What are you looking at, hurry over, your brother Ling'er is still waiting!"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Qingran, you should go with me too!"

Xing Xiuyan suppressed a smile, hugged Murong Ling, followed the embarrassed Yun Qingran, and left.

The Crown Princess looked at their backs, and asked curiously, "Auntie, did Ling'er cook all the meals by that Lady Xing herself?"

The eldest princess nodded, "Well, her skills are actually not as good as the imperial chef's, and she can cook some home-cooked dishes. But it's because of her intentions. Since Ling'er came to their house, she personally came for everything. Why does Ling'er depend on her so much?"

"Father is jealous of this! Besides, Ling'er is a boy, and he always relies on women's hands so much, so how can he do it! It's just that last time in the palace, there was such a disturbance, but father The emperor is terrified, and the father dare not mention this again." Zhao Yuan sighed.

"Ling'er is still young. Besides, although this Xing family is from a poor family, she is also a girl who is educated and respected. Our family Yanran is her master. Back then, Yanran's mother was a well-known talented woman in Beijing. Her daughter taught her Is there anything wrong with someone like you?" The eldest princess laughed, "You guys are just worrying too much. Don't even think about it. It's normal for Ling'er to have such a reaction when he encounters a catastrophe. Or, you can ask your father. , does he want a healthy grandson, or does he want a sick grandson? No need to ask, he will definitely choose the former. Children from people like us, except you and Lier, depending on their status, the rest of the children, I'd rather he be stupid. The children in our family are too smart to live long!"

After saying this, both Zhao Yuan and the Crown Princess were silent, and after a while, Zhao Yuan raised his head and forced a laugh, "That's why Auntie chose this marriage for Qingran?"

"Half and half!" The eldest princess stood up and looked at the scattered lotus flowers in the pond. "Ordinary people hope that their children are all smart and can become great talents. That's because there are many paths for them. There is no need to fight or grab each other, but in our family, everyone’s goal is only that one, and there is only one thing to fight for and grab. There are too many smart people in this world, especially in our family, so ah, it’s better to be stupid good."

Zhao Yuan knew that his aunt's words were to remind himself. In fact, he also knew, but the palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh. Whether it was the eldest son and second son of the crown princess, or other concubines and concubines, they were all his flesh and blood. , he couldn't bear it.Besides, he also has his own considerations.

"Auntie, even though that's what I said, I'm always worried that living a too comfortable life will make people lose their fighting spirit. If I, as a father, remove all obstacles for him, how can he grow up? No He has experienced wind and rain by himself, and he will never grow up. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, this is the fate of our Zhao family." Zhao Yuan said.

The princess heard them talking about this topic, so she stood up consciously and went outside the pavilion.

The eldest princess took a deep look at him, and said with a smile: "In this regard, you are very similar to your father."

Zhao Yuan suddenly raised his head, "Auntie, what do you mean?" He always felt that his father didn't love him, and he had no choice but to make himself the crown prince because of his status as the eldest son.Maybe his father used to love him, but as he grew up, Donggong supported him more and more, and his father began to support other younger brothers slowly, so as to check and balance himself.Yes, it is checks and balances.

"Do you think that your father loves your younger brother more than you?" The eldest princess sat on the stone bench beside the pavilion, looking at Zhao Yuan and asked.

"No, I don't think that my father loves my younger brothers more than me. I just think that compared with family affection, my father values ​​power more." Zhao Yuan said.

"Silly boy. Your father, my brother, is not that kind of person. He didn't intend to fight for this seat at the beginning, but others don't believe that you don't fight, you don't fight, someone forces you to fight. It can only be said that good luck tricks people Your father is a man of affection, you said just now that he did not dispose of the Jia family because of the girl from the Lin family. It was because Lin Ruhai devoted half of his life to your father, and he did not even have an heir to inherit the ancestral hall. Your father feels ashamed of him. The only thing Lin Ruhai cares about is his daughter, so if she is not properly arranged, your father will not deal with the Jia family. As for the marriage you mentioned, how old is she? To an old courtier, your father The emperor is like this, let alone you children. You are his eldest son, a child born with his hope. His expectations of you are not limited to this. Not to mention the importance of power And beware of you, this is an insult to your father, do you understand? Dynasties change, sons inherit their father's business, this is a natural law, no one can live forever. Your father understands this deeply, he and you The idea is the same, on the one hand, it is to let you have more experience, and on the other hand, it is because the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Therefore, your brothers turn a blind eye to some small actions in private, and your father just turns a blind eye. When you don’t see it. It’s been the same with all emperors. No emperor will have the heart to abolish the prince he has carefully cultivated for many years. No one is willing to bear it. Moreover, your father has a steelyard in his heart and a bottom line. Once this bottom line is touched, your father will never show mercy. You should have seen this. Your two younger brothers, if you It's not suicide, I guess your father will not let them go. What about you, do you have this scale in your heart?" The eldest princess turned around and asked.

Zhao Yuan was stunned, he knew too much about the conversation with his aunt today, he couldn't accept it, "Aunt?"

"You don't need to answer me in a hurry. I shouldn't have said what I said today. It's just that you are my first nephew after all, and your birth has too many meanings. I hope in my heart that you and your royal father, Don't be suspicious of father and son, don't follow in the footsteps of my father and Prince Ai. You go back and think about it carefully, and talk to your father, I think he will be very happy." The eldest princess laughed.

Zhao Yuan hesitated, "Will it be? Will Father be happy?"

"How will you know if you don't try!" the eldest princess smiled softly.

Zhao Yuan suddenly squatted down next to the eldest princess, and leaned his head on the eldest princess's lap like he did when he was a child, "Aunt, it's lucky to have you." These words are what my aunt said to him. Love, don't think of these at all.In fact, over the years, at many times and in many places, his aunt has been playing the role of his mother.There are many things that Zhao Yuan has no one to say, he can only talk to his aunt.

The eldest princess sighed, and touched Zhao Yuan's head, "Yuan'er, Auntie still said the same thing, as long as you don't make mistakes, no one can touch you."

Zhao Yuan's eyes were moist, and he said in a muffled voice, "Got it, aunt!"

Zhao Mingli and Murong Lang walked in front holding hands, Yun Qingran and Xing Xiuyan walked behind them side by side, watching them talking and laughing.Yun Qingran smiled and said, "Ling'er still needs the company of her peers. It looks much more lively."

Xing Xiuyan nodded, "Yeah, I think Ling'er should go to the palace to study earlier and get to know more companions, which will be good for his growth, as His Royal Highness said, being good at a woman's hand is not a good thing .”

Yun Qingran smiled and said: "Don't take what the prince says to heart. He also cares about Ling'er."

Xing Xiuyan chuckled, "It's okay, what the crown prince said is the truth. Ling'er is the son of Marquis of Yong'an, the future Marquis of Yong'an, so it's impossible to always rely on me. Besides, who am I, how dare I be dissatisfied with what the crown prince said? !"

Yun Qingran glanced at her, didn't speak, just smiled.

Several people returned to Songbaiyuan, and Yuping greeted them, "Master Hou, son, Miss Xing, you are back? Who is this?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Yuping, give Ling'er and the others some snacks first. Ling'er, play with your elder brother Li first, and I'll cook noodles for you."

Yun Qingran smiled and said, "Do you need my help?"

Xing Xiuyan shook her head, "You should just watch them two!"

Xing Xiuyan turned around and went into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, the noodles were already prepared, she just needed to boil the water and cook the noodles.Thinking that Yun Qingran and Zhao Mingli were also there, Xing Xiuyan also cooked a bowl for them, which was not much.

After cooking, Xing Xiuyan called the maid to come in and brought out the noodles.
