The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 51 The palace banquet is approaching

Even for a person like Xue Qinghe who doesn't value fame and wealth, when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and his depression was gone.

He waited until someone led the imperial doctor all the way to the small courtyard.

Qiuxin stretched her neck and looked outside. But Mrs. Xue was nowhere to be seen.

"Why doesn't Madam come? After all, it's the imperial doctor who comes." Qiu Xin whispered.

In fact, she just wanted to see Mrs. Xue's ugly face.

There is no one to show off at the moment, and joy breaks the bones.

Xue Qinghe sat up in the room, his head still aching.

Qiu Xin led the imperial doctor in.

The imperial doctor, who was in his forties, said from a distance: "But Miss Xue Er? I am here to diagnose Miss Xue Er on the order of Princess Jinque."

"Princess Jinque?" Qiu Xin blurted out, "Isn't she from the palace of Prince Wei?"

The imperial doctor asked in confusion: "How could it be from the palace of Prince Wei?"

Qiu Xin was so stupid now that she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

Xue Qinghe's face turned pale instantly, and she was terribly embarrassed.

She felt even more embarrassed when she thought that Qiu Xin had asked innocently, "Isn't it the King of Wei?" just now.

Xue Qinghe suppressed the embarrassment on his face and said: "The maid made a mistake. Don't blame the doctor."

Qiu Xin hesitated to speak, and finally had to shut her mouth bitterly.

Soon everyone in the family got the news about the palace banquet.

For this reason, Mrs. Xue also called Xue Qingyin back.

He Songning didn't know it, and when he woke up, he realized that Xue Qingyin had run away.

He sneered so angrily that his back molars almost broke.

In just ten days, He Songning seemed to have lost all his anger for a lifetime.

The book boy asked tremblingly at the side: "Eldest Master, let's... go back to the house?"

The boy didn't know all the twists and turns, he just thought that he was the elder brother, so he came to Zhuangzi to study, just to make up for the brother-sister relationship with the eldest girl.

He Songning's eyebrows were gloomy, and he squeezed out a voice from his throat and said, "I won't reply."

Fortunately, it is also suitable to study in Zhuangzi.

Wouldn't it be a joke if he brought the book box back home at this time?

The book boy responded quietly and was about to withdraw, leaving He Songning to study in peace.

He Songning suddenly asked: "Have the people from Duke Zhao's mansion left?"

The book boy nodded: "I'm leaving too."

He Songning's anxiety, which had just calmed down, suddenly rose again.

She could even ask Zhao Xufeng to leave together! But don’t you know how to send someone to inform him?

You are really brave! So fat!

Xue Qingyin sneezed as soon as she entered the house.

She rubbed the tip of her nose and, supported by two maids, moved through the door step by step with difficulty.

Mrs. Xue felt very distressed: "What happened? Did you fall?"

Xue Qingyin said honestly: "I rode on horseback."

Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid of falling ill again?"

Xue Qingyin leaned on her shoulder, bumped her head with her head, and said softly: "Isn't it good now? In the future, my health will get better and better! Auntie will no longer have to worry about me. "

"Let's wait until your legs are fully healed before you say this." Mrs. Xue paused and then said: "Besides, even if you get well in the future, how can a mother not worry about you? I will always worry about you. I have to worry about whether you are eating well today and whether you are in a good mood."

Xue Qingyin leaned against her even more lovingly, really acting coquettishly for a while.

But Mrs. Xue pushed her away and said, "You look like this..." She frowned and said, "What about the palace banquet?"

Xue Qingyin was dumbfounded: "Palace banquet?"

Oh haha.

Totally forgot about it!

She really shouldn't be riding a horse!

What to do now?

Xue Qingyin began to worry.

On the other side, Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial doctor diagnosed her and found that there was nothing serious wrong with her. She looked at the prescription left by the doctor before, made some changes, and told her that she would be well after another seven or eight days.

This is the best news apart from the embarrassment today.

Qiu Xin didn’t know where she went.

Just when Xue Qinghe was hesitating whether he should talk to her or not speak so recklessly in the future, Qiu Xin hurriedly opened the door and came back.

"Second girl, the eldest girl is back."

"Qiu Xin, don't always care about your sister's movements."

"Second girl, please listen to me first. The eldest girl came back because of the palace banquet. That day when we went to the lake, it was said that the prince didn't choose. If there is a palace banquet the day after, I'm afraid we have to choose. Then I don't know who the damn one is. The thing pushed you, Miss Er, I wonder if we can still go to the palace banquet?" Qiu Xin said and was about to cry.

Seeing that she was really worried about him, Xue Qinghe swallowed his words of advice.

Qiu Xin wiped the corners of her eyes, suddenly changed her tone, and said angrily: "Also, you don't know! This big girl asked someone to help her when she came back!"

"She's hurt?"

"What? Do you really believe that it was such a coincidence that she injured both your front and back legs? She just wants to compete with you for the eldest son's favor! She is the legitimate daughter, doesn't she get enough? Why does she insist on following everything? You grab it! She is walking step by step. I wonder if she is deliberately imitating you and mocking you, second girl!"

Xue Qinghe stopped talking for a moment, with all kinds of thoughts tangled up in his mind.

She wanted to see her eldest brother so much at this moment!

Xue Qingyin didn't know that someone was orchestrating her behind the scenes.

She applied the medicine again, then leaned on the pillow and asked the maid to play cards with her.

At this time, in Duke Zhao's house, Manager Zhao was also talking about her.

Manager Zhao first asked someone to bring the horse.

Duke Guo of Zhao asked: "What is this for?"

Then Mr. Zhao turned around and coaxed Zhao Xufeng in a low voice.

With Xue Qingyin setting an example, Manager Zhao is now becoming more and more comfortable in coaxing Zhao Xufeng.

Seeing that Zhao Xufeng looked much more docile, Duke Zhao was very jealous in his heart.

When Zhao Guogong was about to overturn his jealousy, he looked at his stupid son and suddenly got on his horse.

Zhao Guogong was filled with anger for a moment: "How, how can this be done?"

Manager Zhao quickly comforted him: "Wait a moment, look down."

Zhao Xufeng held the reins like a normal person and shouted "drive".

The horse raised its hooves and started galloping.

Suddenly his foolishness faded away, and he became somewhat heroic.

Manager Zhao said softly: "Young Master will be able to do it after just one try. You see, this is talent."

Tears burst out of Zhao Guogong's eyes, and his hands trembled.

He cried and laughed, his voice as loud as a bell: "My son! He is indeed my son! The blood of me and Pearl flows in his bones! He should also have the posture of a military general. Okay! Okay! I can even die. Rest in peace!"

At least from this day on, he knew that his son was no longer the person who just sat there eating and drinking.

"What a girl from the Xue family, I must thank her very much!" Zhao Guogong was so excited that he was a little incoherent. "If she can find a way to teach Ah Feng the ability to take care of himself, I will have nothing to fear in the future. ”

"There is one more thing to report to the Duke." Manager Zhao seemed much calmer. After all, he was almost done with his excitement when he went to Zhuangzi.

"you say."

"I know why the young master considers Miss Xue as his mother."

"Why?"

"Smell... Miss Xue was weak when she was young and had to take medicine, so she has a faint medicinal aroma."

Zhao Guogong was silent for a moment and said hoarsely: "That should be the reason. When Zhenzhu was lingering on the sickbed, she also took a lot of medicine. She couldn't let go of A Feng, couldn't let me, and refused to close her eyes. But she took medicine to hang her breath for so long. , I still didn’t keep her. Ah Feng must have a deep memory of those days..."

"Yes..." Manager Zhao said hesitantly: "Now that we know the reason, it is easy for us to create a few more people with similar smells."

"But how many people have the courage to teach Ah Feng these things? As you said, how many people can not dislike Ah Feng and openly accept his kindness?"

Manager Zhao smiled: "To be honest with you, I actually think so too. But if you don't say anything, how can I make the decision on my own? I have something else to tell you. Miss Xue has just taken over the Xue family's property recently. The business of Xue Family Tea House is a bit bleak..."

Zhao Guogong listened carefully to what he said.

In the Zhao Guogong's house, there was only the chattering voice, but there was a rare warmth.

…

The palace banquet is approaching soon.

While the girls from each family were still worrying about how to dress appropriately and stand out for such an important occasion, a gray and shaggy carriage stopped at the door of the Xue family.
