Don’t Show the Son

Wangdu, Nancheng.

In the same mansion as the Murong Mansion, Emperor Xia sipped his tea and asked Lin Xiu, "The Dabi is only less than three months away, and you still want to go out to play?"

While teasing the spiritual pet in her arms, Lin Xiu said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to come back before the Grand Competition."

"play?"

When the imperial concubine heard this, the paintbrush in her hand trembled, and a drop of incongruous ink immediately appeared on the screen. The painting she had painted for a long time was completely destroyed, but her attention was not here, and she listened attentively. Watching the conversation between Lin Xiu and Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia put down his teacup and said: "Playing is fine, but don't forget to practice. If you can't enter the top five in the Grand Competition, you still have a chance to give a marriage. Don't blame me for not giving it to you."

At the beginning, Lin Xiu and Emperor Xia agreed to be the second in the competition, so they had three chances to bestow marriages, but now they have become the fifth, obviously taking care of him.

He took care of himself so much, and Lin Xiu couldn't let him down.

In this big competition, his goal is not to be fifth, but to be fifth on the Tianjiao list.

There is no problem with Zhao Lingjun and Qianye Lin in the top ten. If you are lucky, in the past two months, Lin Xiu can also send Wan'er and Ning'er into the top ten.

After chatting with Emperor Xia for a few words, Lin Xiu stood up and said to the imperial concubine, "My lady, tomorrow I will go to Jiangnan with Caiyi and the others. These days, I can't see my lady and my daughter."

The emotion on the imperial concubine's face remained unchanged, and she said, "Oh, I see."

Emperor Xia knew that Jiangnan could not be mentioned in front of Mingzhu, but she could not avoid this matter for the rest of her life. The imperial doctor said that if her heart knot could not be untied, her illness would never be cured.

He thought for a while, looked at the imperial concubine, and said: "Mingzhu, do you want to go back to Jiangnan for a while, I will let the priests take you there, and you will be there in half a day."

The imperial concubine said lightly: "No need."

Lin Xiu heard the words, but her heart moved. Of course, the fake Murong Mansion is not as good as the real Jiangnan.

He has long wanted to take the imperial concubine to Jiangnan to relax, but he has never had the opportunity.

Now that Emperor Xia has made such a suggestion, she just needs to nod her head.

He knows the imperial concubine very well, she is soft everywhere, but she is hard-spoken. If he wants to persuade her to go to Jiangnan, he needs to change his rhetoric.

He coughed softly, and said to the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty, my daughter is a little depressed these days. The environment in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of the capital. It went there and lived in a different environment for a period of time. Maybe it will get better..."

As Lin Xiu finished speaking, the spiritual pet in its arms drooped its head, looking listless.

Seeing Lin Xiu's opening, the imperial concubine suppressed the joy in her heart and said: "In this case, I will take my daughter to Jiangnan to live for a while, Xiaoyuer, Linglong, Shuangshuang, pack your things and go with me... ..."

This time when going to the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Xiu intends to bring Caiyi and the others to practice. By the way, they can pass through the shameless world of four people. The road can also be delayed a little longer, but the imperial concubine and empress also want to go together, so they can't do that. Do whatever you want.

Concubines in the palace can go back to their hometown to visit relatives.

When they travel, they have a special colorful boat, which looks like a boat, with attic rooms on it, carved railings and jade, similar to a luxury yacht in another world, except that this kind of boat is not driving in the water, but in the sky.

On the colorful boats, there are often digital metal or wooden ground steps for worship, and they control the colorful boats to fly in the sky.

On the second day, high above the sky, in a luxurious colorful boat, Lin Xiu leaned over the railing and had a panoramic view of the magnificent rivers and mountains.

This colorful boat was controlled by eight priests, and it flew fast and steadily. Being on the colorful boat, apart from feeling a bit strong in the wind, there was no feeling of bumps.

The imperial concubine and the others are in the room, so there should be no difference from being on the ground.

When Lin Xiu and Zhang Ren and Song Yuzhang went to Fusang last time, they were not treated like this. If the colorful boat of the imperial concubine and empress was a luxurious yacht, they were in the most shabby boat.

To be honest, Lin Xiu had his eyes on this colorful boat.

After returning to the capital, he also asked Emperor Xia for one, so that he could go out with them at any time in the future. This thing is like a caravan. With it, he doesn't even need an inn when he goes out.

A figure walked up to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu turned her head to look around, and found that it was Murong Yu.

Lin Xiu happened to have something to discuss with her, so she glanced back and said, "Miss Murong, take a step to talk..."

...

Because of the balance between stability and comfort, the speed of the colorful boat was much slower than that of the flying boat, and they all ate lunch in the room of the colorful boat.

Before sunset, the colorful boat landed outside Jiangnan Fucheng.

The imperial concubine returned to Jiangnan this time, and she didn't make much noise. Today happened to be the Lantern Festival in Jiangnan Prefecture. A group of people entered the city. There were colorful lanterns hanging on the streets, and even lotus lanterns floating in the river.

Both Ning'er and Qin Wan came to Jiangnan for the first time, and they were deeply attracted by the Jiangnan style, which is completely different from that in Kyoto.

After entering Jiangnan Fucheng, the imperial concubine and empress did not speak any more.

She walked silently on the bluestone-paved streets, through alleys, and across stone bridges. Jiangnan was still the Jiangnan in her memory. Before today, she never thought that she could come back to this place.

Murong Yu followed behind her and asked softly, "Auntie, do you want to go home and have a look?"

The noble concubine shook her head and said, "I don't have a home here anymore."

She looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "Where do you live at night?"

Murong Yu looked at Lin Xiu with a hint of helplessness on his face.

After a while, Lin Xiu brought them to the small courtyard he bought here with Caiyi last time. He hadn't been here for half a year, and there was a lot of dust in the house. Murong Yu waved his hand, and a small tornado swept across the courtyard. After rising, the courtyard quickly became spotless.

The imperial concubine was obviously going to live here tonight, so Lin Xiu had a question.

The house he and Caiyi bought back then was not big, they thought it was only the two of them to live in, and they didn't need to buy such a big house, but they didn't expect to encounter today's situation, even if Murong Yu went home to live there, there would still be seven people living here.

Shuangshuang and Linglong wanted to serve the imperial concubine by their side, so it was impossible for them to leave Murong Yu.

Seven people, only three rooms.

The imperial concubine must live in one room by herself, Shuangshuang and Linglong the little palace maid, and Lin Xiu, Caiyi, Ning'er and Wan'er have only one master bedroom.

So far, it's not that Lin Xiu has slept with them in the same bed, but that was after the rain and dew were evenly applied, not a true co-sleeping.

Besides, that bed was not big, three people could barely sleep there, but four people definitely couldn't.

Lin Xiu could only let the three of them sleep on the bed, and make a bunk on the floor beside the bed.

If I knew that there would be such a day, I should have bought a bigger house in the first place.

After turning off the lights, not long after, Lin Xiu noticed that there was an arm hanging from the side of the bed, moving restlessly on his body, and she knew it was Qin Wan's without guessing.

She slept on the outermost side, and Ning'er and Caiyi were on the inside.

Qin Wan's actions seemed to be discovered by Ning'er. The next moment, her hand was pulled up. Xue Ning'er rolled over in her arms, and switched the positions of the two. She slept outside and said to Qin Wan: " Be honest..."

When the three of them slept together, she always kept Qin Wan from messing around.

So, on the first night in Jiangnan, Lin Xiu spent a peaceful night.

Going on like this is not an option, Lin Xiu still wants to change their abilities, but she has no private space, so she can't find an inn tomorrow, I hope Murong Yu will not let him down.

The next day, Lin Xiu got up early.

The imperial concubine got up earlier than him, and she even went out to buy breakfast by herself, beckoned to Lin Xiu, and said, "Come and taste the things I bought in this palace. After so many years, the taste of these shops has not changed at all... "

Both Shuangshuang and Linglong didn't get up, and the imperial concubine ran out alone.

Lin Xiu was not worried about her safety. She came with them, and there were a few spies who would protect her in secret.

At this moment, several figures came in from the outside.

The one walking in the front was Murong Yu, and behind her were several figures.

An old woman walked up to the imperial concubine, looked at the imperial concubine with bewildering eyes, two lines of tears rolled down her cloudy old eyes, and said with a sob: "Miss, I never expected to see you again before I die..."

"Mother-in-law..." The imperial concubine held her rough hand, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes.

There were still a few women standing behind the old woman, and they couldn't help but wiped their eyes and said, "In a blink of an eye, Miss has grown so big..."

The imperial concubine looked at these old people in the Murong Mansion, and felt mixed feelings in her heart.

The old woman held the hand of the imperial concubine and said, "Miss, go back..."

Several women also said: "Miss, go back..."

In the end, an old man with a dignified face came in from the door, walked up to the imperial concubine, looked at her in a daze, and said, "Mingzhu, I was sorry for you back then, go home..."

...

When following the imperial concubine and empress to the Murong Mansion, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the Murong family cannot be completely blamed for that incident.

After all, when the Zhang family was in full swing, even the royal family had to be afraid, let alone a small family in the south of the Yangtze River.

The imperial concubine also knew this, she just lacked a step.

In order for her to completely let go of her knots, Lin Xiu and Murong Yu prepared this morning's scene. Outside, she is a noble imperial concubine, but in Murong Mansion, she will always be Miss Mingzhu back then.

In the Murong Mansion, Lin Xiu accompanied the empress, worshiped the late mother of the imperial concubine in the ancestral hall, and then accompanied her for a walk in the Murong Mansion.

Although she hadn't been back for seventeen years, the imperial concubine looked at everything around her and didn't feel any strangeness, because the royal capital also had the Murong Mansion exactly like this one.

She looked at everything in Murong Mansion, and said softly: "This tree, this pavilion, this pond... are exactly the same as those in Kyoto."

It was only when she returned to Murong Mansion that she deeply realized how much thought Lin Xiu had put in for her gift.

When she walked to the back garden and passed a rockery, she paused and murmured, "Why is this rockery not quite like the one before..."
