Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 42

This year's New Year, the queen was ill, and the emperor named Concubine Hui to preside over a series of matters for the wives to visit.If it's just this one thing, I'm afraid it won't make people think too much.

It is very reasonable for Her Royal Highness to be represented by Concubine Hui for the time being when she is ill.However, there happened to be another incident - when Mrs. Yingwuhou Laohou was celebrating her birthday, His Majesty the Emperor brought Concubine Hui and several princes and princesses to Yingwuhou Mansion to pay their respects.

Once these two things are connected, even if it is the same thing, the meanings before and after are completely different.

The Crown Prince had already been appointed, but His Majesty's actions made some people think that he was dissatisfied with the First Prince. Even though the Crown Prince was appointed, he was still thinking about it, even thinking about it more.

At the same time, this also means that the eldest prince, who is in the position of crown prince, is very unstable in this position.

The structure of the court will not change greatly because of this, but many vacillating ministers have become more cautious in their positions.This is very unfavorable for the eldest prince who is in the position of prince.

When it was New Year's Eve, when Mrs. Lin handed over the sign and entered the palace to look for her own sister, she couldn't help but mention a few words.She is indeed worried about her sister, her parents, and her family.

This matter is very involved. If His Majesty the Emperor is doing this now, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, and His Highness the Empress becomes the Empress Dowager, it would be good if the Yingwuhou Mansion and the Lin family just decline, I'm afraid it will be...

Compared with her second sister, Concubine Hui only saw such things more thoroughly, but she just said to Madam Lin, "Your Majesty has his own judgment on these matters. Second sister don't need to worry. If there is anything to worry about, don't worry about it." Go back and discuss it with your second brother-in-law."

Although Mrs. Lin didn't feel relieved because of these words, she at least understood a little bit, and if in doubt, she could always find her husband.Does this mean that her husband knows something that few people know?

When Mr. Lin was released from Yamen and returned to the mansion, Mrs. Lin told him all the things in the palace in detail.After hearing this, Lin Hai only said, "Your Majesty has often called Liu Shangshu to inquire about matters a while ago, and recently he is more interested in asking the Ministry of Households to prepare military supplies, food and money."

Mrs. Lin couldn't help becoming silent when she heard this.

The Household Department of this dynasty is in charge of a series of matters including national land, taxation, household registration, military supplies, salary, food and payment, and financial revenue and expenditure.

His Majesty the Emperor first often called the Minister of the Household Department to inquire about things, and soon after, he asked the Household Department to prepare military supplies, food and military salaries, etc., which meant that war was about to begin.

The Marquis of Yingwu's mansion is what it is now because of her father fighting on the battlefield. How could she not understand these things.

"Will your majesty let dad go to battle then?" Mrs. Lin still asked, even though she knew the answer in her heart.

"For so many years, the frontier has been frequently invaded, and the common people have been persecuted repeatedly and cannot live in peace. This time, His Majesty is determined to prevent the barbarians from invading our frontier again."

Therefore, the time of this battle will definitely not be short, and this battle is destined to be impossible to be easy from the beginning.

Madam Lin lowered her head and remained silent for a while, and when she spoke again, it was inevitable that she would cry a little, "Daddy has been a soldier all his life, and the biggest concern in his heart is that one day he will be able to drive out the barbarians."

Seeing his wife like this, he knew that feeling in his heart. He was reluctant to let his old father go to the battlefield again, and faced such a dangerous situation and knew whether he should stop him, so Lin Hai softly persuaded Mrs. Lin.When Mrs. Lin's mood stabilized, Lin Hai said to her again, "If there is nothing to do during this period, let's go to the Hou's mansion twice more."

Madam Lin looked up at her husband Lin Hai with tears in her eyes, and nodded lightly.

From winter to spring, the weather is getting warmer.According to the previous agreement at the Hot Spring Villa, Lin Yuan followed Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran to learn boxing and kicking kung fu.

She and Qi Yingyu are both beginners, and they have to learn from the most basic things.Zama step is the foundation of the foundation, but it is not so easy to do it well and stick to it.

Qi Haoran demonstrated with them in front, Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu followed behind, and after a quarter of an hour, both of them couldn't take it anymore.They exchanged glances with each other, then sneakily straightened their bodies and became lazy.

"Why is my sister being lazy?"

Qi Haoran's voice suddenly sounded, startling both Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu, and quickly adjusted their postures again, continuing to squat steadily.

Qi Haoran, who didn't turn his head back, heard the slightly flustered footsteps behind him, couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and put on a stern face, as if he had never done anything.

He took Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu to squat for about half an hour, and then taught them boxing according to his father's previous arrangement, explaining every step in great detail.

Lin Yuan stood there listening to Qi Haoran, fascinated.Qi Haoran's every move is very clean and neat, and every movement is standard and smooth.

For the sake of convenience, he wore a modified bunt style bamboo green clothes with silver dark patterns today.The bunt looked clean and neat, coupled with Qi Haoran's every move, it showed a bit of chic posture.

Qi Haoran performed the whole set of punches coherently for Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu to demonstrate. After watching, Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu seemed like outsiders, and they smiled and clapped their hands.

"Brother Qi is amazing!"

"Brother is awesome! It's wonderful!"

The two of them applauded and did not forget to applaud at the same time. As an audience, they are really very dedicated.But seeing the two of them like this, Qi Haoran just felt... I really don't know what to say...

Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu looked at each other again, and then Qi Yingyu first smiled flatteringly, and said, "Brother, you are really good! A set of ordinary punches is a pleasure to be played by you." !"

Lin Yuan on the other side naturally agreed, "Yes, yes! Brother Qi is really good at playing! This is definitely the best I have ever seen!"

The two little girls had the same smiles, the same clothes, the same hair style, one was his sister, the other...all were smiling and looked at him like stars.

Qi Haoran was not so flattered by their compliments, on the contrary, he was a bit ridiculous, but his face was calm and composed, and there was no abnormality at all.

With a straight face, he cupped his fists and said to Qi Yingyu and Lin Yuan, "Thank you for the compliment, I've accepted it!" Then he said mercilessly, "I taught it once and demonstrated it twice, now you guys try to do it for me have a look."

The tone is very, very cold!
Hearing this, Qi Yingyu hugged her little stomach and shouted, "Ouch, brother, my stomach hurts!" Then she squatted on the ground.Lin Yuan squinted at Qi Yingyu, squatting down and shouting, "Oh, brother Qi, my calf hurts!"

The two squatted on the ground, one holding their belly and the other touching their legs. They both turned their small faces up and looked at Qi Haoran pitifully.

Qi Haoran suppressed a smile, and glanced at them, "If you feel unwell, you should rest first, and then make up for it when you feel better tomorrow."

If you don't practice today, you will practice twice tomorrow?

Qi Yingyu and Lin Yuan both stood there in a daze. After they realized it, neither their stomach hurt nor their calves hurt. They both said that they would continue to ask Qi Haoran to demonstrate again.

"Is there really no physical discomfort?" Qi Haoran confirmed with them.

Both Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu shook their little heads and kept waving their hands, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anywhere anymore."

Qi Haoran couldn't help but smile, and said, "Okay, I'll demonstrate it again, and watch it carefully."

Both Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu nodded hurriedly, and dared not to half-heartedly say anything.

Before Nanxi Academy started, Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu spent half a day learning Kung Fu at the Fenyonghou Mansion.

Madam Qi often ordered someone to deliver snacks during their breaks.When tired from practicing kung fu, the three of them would sit down together, eat something and drink a couple of teas, which was not too hard.

At least Qi Haoran felt that it was much easier than when he practiced with his father, but after all, they were two delicate little girls, so this level was enough.

Every time Lin Yuan went to Fenyonghou's mansion, she would bring some snacks and the like. Such small things were not expensive, and they were enough when the affection came.

Later, when Nanxi Academy started, Lin Yuan still went to Fenyonghou's Mansion to learn martial arts every day, but the time was shortened, and she didn't have half a day of kung fu like before.

Every time Qi Haoran went to Nanxi Academy to pick up his younger sister, he took Lin Yuan back to the mansion by the way.After coming and going, they all quickly got used to this kind of life.

Such days lasted until May, and the parting always came too suddenly.

Qi Haoran took his younger sister and Lin Yuan back to the mansion as usual, and practiced boxing and martial arts together like every day in the past.When it was getting late, Qi Haoran personally sent Lin Yuan back to the Lin residence.

He and Lin Yuan said goodbye with a smile, and returned home in a carriage, and his father also returned home.As soon as Qi Haoran stepped into the mansion, he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Confused, Qi Haoran went to pay his respects to his father and mother, only to see his father looking serious, and his mother softly coaxing his younger sister Qi Yingyu whose eyes were red from crying.

"Mother, what's the matter? Why is my sister crying?" Qi Haoran asked Zhu Bicong.

Qi Yingyu saw that her brother had come back, so she ran over crying, grabbed his arm, and said in a sobbing voice, "Brother, we have to leave, we have to say goodbye to little Ayuan."
