Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Xiao Yilin's face turned dark immediately after hearing Xiao Yiyan's words, "Nonsense, Duke Ding doesn't have that kind of meaning. I will not marry their daughter either. Duke Ding's family came to my house to thank Jingyan.

A few days ago, the carriage that Ding Guogong's daughter was riding in shocked the horses, and Jing Yan happened to come across and rescued her.Jing Yan lived in my house again, so Duke Ding brought his family to my house to thank Jing Yan. "

After Xiao Yilin finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Jing Yi, and was relieved to see that the little girl was not unhappy.He just persuaded the little girl to give him a chance, so don't make the little girl unhappy because of these unfounded rumors.

Xiao Yiyan nodded and said, knowing the cause and effect of the incident, "So that's the case. It turns out that Duke Ding came to thank Dr. Chu. Those people outside didn't know the truth and misunderstood. But I think some people may spread rumors on purpose."

Xiao Yilin said: "Don't pay attention to them, they are all afraid that I will get Dingguo's support if I really meet with Dingguo's mansion. As long as the father knows the whole story, other people should not be afraid.

How do you go to the academy to study? Are you still used to it?No one bullied you, right? "

Xiao Yiyan smiled and said: "Fourth brother, who dares to bully me as a prince. Although I don't have real power in my hands, I can't be bullied by others if they want to. And with you behind me, those royal relatives and family members It's too late for my son to please me. Many people want to make friends with me."

Xiao Yilin nodded, "That's good. But you have to be cautious when making friends, and you must pay attention to the character of the other party."

Xiao Yiyan nodded, "I know. Besides, I mainly go to study. I want to enter the court as soon as possible so that I can help you, fourth brother."

The three of them had just finished their lunch and Han Qi came to report, "My lord, there are people from the palace, and the concubine Shu called you into the palace."

Xiao Yilin and Xiao Yiyan looked at each other.

Xiao Yilin said: "Understood, you tell the visitor that I will go to the palace to visit my concubine later."

Han Qi went down and sent people away.

Xiao Yiyan said worriedly: "Fourth brother, you haven't visited Concubine Shu after you came back this time, have you? She will definitely find fault with you. Alas, Concubine Shu is too partial. It is also a son, Concubine Shu But I prefer myna. In comparison, you are much better than myna. I really don’t know what Concubine Shu thinks."

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "It's easy to understand, because Concubine Shu is not my biological mother at all."

Xiao Yiyan stared blankly at her fourth brother when she heard the words, and it took a long time to find her own voice and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say, fourth brother? You said that concubine Shu is not your biological mother?"

Xiao Yilin nodded, "It's really not, I just found out. Like you, I have no mother since I was a child. At that time, my father was afraid that I would be bullied without a mother, so he recorded me under the name of Concubine Shu."

Xiao Yiyan got a positive answer and stood up excitedly. He walked back and forth several times and smiled: "Then fourth brother, don't you need to be suppressed by her anymore? She can't restrict you in the name of filial piety in the future. You don't have to either." No matter how worried mynah is, he can no longer take advantage of you."

Xiao Yilin looked at his excited younger brother and shook his head and said, "Don't spread this matter for the time being, as long as we all know about it. The emperor still has his arrangements, and he asked me to keep it as it is for the time being. When the time comes, he will do it for you." I got my name right."

Xiao Yiyan nodded, "I know, the fourth brother, your mother?"

Xiao Yilin sighed and said, "Father said that my mother has passed away."

Xiao Yilin didn't tell Xiao Yiyan too much.Although Xiao Yilin and Xiao Yiyan have a very good relationship, he feels that there are some things that should not be told to him.

What's more, some things are also his and the little girl's guesses, and it's not suitable to talk about them.

When Xiao Yiyan learned that the fourth brother's mother had also passed away, she immediately felt sympathetic.Both of them are poor children without a mother.

Jing Yi said from the side: "Brother Xiao, Concubine Shu probably asked you to enter the palace to ask about Concubine Xian's demotion yesterday. You have to think about how to deal with it."

Xiao Yilin said: "It's nothing, Concubine Xian just pleaded for Xuanping Houfu and Xiao Yimao's disrespect to her father and angered her father, so she was demoted. This is easy to explain."

Jing Yi said: "Brother Xiao, since you are still under her name, you should put on a show and prepare some gifts to bring to her, lest she pick on you."

Xiao Yilin nodded and said, "I need to bring some gifts. After all, I just returned to Beijing from Huizhou Mansion. But even if I bring her a gift, she won't give me a good face. Just be patient."

Xiao Yilin asked Xiao Yiyan to go back to the academy, and he went directly to the palace.

When they arrived at Yongning Palace, the maids waiting outside directly brought Xiao Yilin into the main hall of Yongning Palace, and Concubine Shu sat on the main seat and waited for him.

Xiao Yilin asked after saluting: "What's the matter with the concubine mother letting her son into the palace?"

Concubine Shu Yan Bihua's face was gloomy, and she said in a cold voice: "You have been back to Beijing for several days, don't you know to come and see me? This is your filial piety? If I don't let people call you into the palace, will you Won't you come into the palace to see me?"

Xiao Yilin felt a little impatient, this concubine Shu Yan had picked on him for many years, and had never been kind to him.It's just that he is now recorded under Concubine Shu's name, so he has to endure it.Otherwise, a filial piety would be enough for him to suffer.

He knew that Concubine Shu would never care about his reputation, and she wished that he would ruin his reputation.

Xiao Yilin bowed expressionlessly and said: "My son has just returned to the capital, and he has a lot of official duties. The military camp has accumulated a lot of official duties. The son has been busy with official duties, so he didn't come to visit mother and concubine in time. I also ask mother and concubine to forgive my son. .”

Yan Bihua pursed her lips and snorted when she heard the words, and didn't hold on to this matter any longer. She asked, "When you entered the palace yesterday in Zichen Hall, did you know why Xianfei was demoted?"

When Xiao Yilin heard that he really asked him about this matter, he immediately said: "The virtuous concubine pleaded for the Xuanping Houfu and Xiao Yimao. When my father refused, she contradicted my father and disrespected my father, so I angered my father." was demoted."

Yan Bihua felt very happy when he thought of the virtuous concubine Zheng's being reduced to the lowest level of Cai Nu.Concubine Xian often made her suffer in the past, but now she is still a concubine, but Zheng has become the lowest-ranked daughter-in-law.The mother's family behind Zheng's death is over, and her son has been demoted to a commoner. From now on, the Zheng family will never have a bright future, and she can think about how to get revenge in the future.

Yan Bihua looked at Xiao Yilin who was standing not far away and asked again: "I heard that Duke Ding brought his wife and son to visit your house two days ago? I heard that they want to marry their daughter to you?"

Xiao Yilin immediately said after hearing the words: "It's okay to go back to my mother and concubine. A friend who lived in my house saved Dingguo's daughter. Dingguo came to my house to thank my friend. Definitely I don't have any intention of marrying my daughter to me."
