Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang went to the outer study room, and Sun Yumu came unexpectedly.

Sun Yumu complained, "Grandpa Ding, Feifei, and Heiwa are leaving. Why didn't you tell me and I'll see them off too."

Tao Weng was not happy that his grandson was making a mess and frowned, "We'll talk about it after class if it's useless."

Xun Xiang entered the small study, and Xun Xiang and Sun Yumu were talking quietly in the hall.

Tao Weng first checked Xun Xiang's homework, nodded and said, "Yes, under such circumstances, I can still concentrate on painting..."

Xun Xiang pouted and said, "I'm afraid of being punished by Master..."

Tao Weng was very satisfied with this young disciple, and even the emperor praised him for his good teaching.

He hit her little head anyway and lectured her, "I work hard because I'm afraid of punishment, so I deserve a beating."

After lunch at Tao's house, Xun Qiandai and Xun Xiang said goodbye, and Sun and Mu left together.

Sun Yumu followed the carriage on horseback, talking to Xunxiang through the window, joking with each other from time to time.

"On the day of the family dinner, I saw Brother Sun standing behind my imperial grandfather. He was very majestic."

"I can't speak. When did I lose my authority? I am the princess, hehe..."

Sun Yumu wanted to say that the little girl is used to flattering you, and the emperor likes you very much now. He has praised you many times to the courtiers. It’s not okay to talk about other children’s children inside and outside, only his children can do it...

But this cannot be said. Anything you hear or see from the emperor while on duty cannot be spoken out, this is a prohibition.

Prince Consort Xun couldn't help but think of Xun Feng. He tried several times to ask the Queen to marry her and Sun Yumu, but Sun and Mu both avoided her...

He laughed.

Xiangxiang is likeable, kind, versatile, and well-adjusted...everything is good, no wonder so many people like her.

Prince Consort Xun suddenly felt worried. My daughter is so lovely. When the time comes, there are hundreds of families asking for girls, and I can’t possibly agree to them all...

Very offending.

The next day, Ding Mansion sent a new year's gift. Ding Lichun came and was taken to Qijin Hall to kowtow to Princess Dongyang.

Dongyang rewarded him with a string of fragrant beads and asked Xunxiang to accompany him to dinner.

The next day, the Princess Mansion presented Ding Mansion with a new year's gift, and Zhao Jialing brought the gift list to Xun Xiang for review.

He smiled and said, "The New Year's gift given to Ding Mansion is the same as that given to Xun Mansion and Dong Mansion."

New Year's gifts among relatives and friends are all customized. The Xun Mansion and the Dong Mansion have a special relationship, so an extra 20% is added.

Xun Xiang didn't look at the gift list and said with a smile, "Master Zhao, just follow the instructions."

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Imperial College and all academies and private schools have a long holiday.

On this day, Xun Shi was going to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to "recuperate from illness." Xun Shi took his wife and children back to see him off.

It has been found out that Dong Ruyi's death was caused by Xun Shi. After Dong Ruyi gave birth to Xun Qiandai, he gave her a blood-activating decoction, which caused severe bleeding.

Liang Tulian threatened to make a big profit, and Xun Shi did it. He also believed that he had done the right thing and had to do it for the benefit of the family.

Xun Qianli and Xun Qiandai were just suspicious before, but they were still very angry after knowing the truth and were unwilling to see him.

Now he is leaving the house and will never come back again in this life. If he does it for others to see, his children and grandchildren must also see him off.

This was the first time for Xunxiang to meet this blood-relative grandfather and kowtow to him.

Xun Shi has a typical Xun family appearance. He has a good appearance and good temperament. He has a long beard with three locks and is very thin.

He looks like a human being, but his character is far inferior to that of Grandpa Ding Zhuang.

He left and took four concubines with him.

After seeing Xun Shi off, the others went to the main courtyard to drink tea and talk. Xun Xiang was invited to the old man's courtyard with envious eyes.

Only Dongyang's eyes were not envious, and he gave her a wink, meaning don't forget what I said.

Last night, Dongyang asked Xunxiang to intercede with Xunfeng and asked Xunfeng to leave after the new year.

"You are my mother's daughter. Of course my mother likes you more. But Feng girl has no father and mother. If I don't love her, who else will love her."

For this reason, Xunxiang was also rewarded with a jade pillow.

Xun Xiang wondered, "Even though my mother is a princess, I can't make my ancestor change his mind. How can I..."

Dongyang said, "My ancestors don't like Girl Feng because of you. If you ask to stay, my ancestors will definitely keep her. Good boy, Girl Feng can no longer block your way, so just give her a way to survive."

The fragrance of Xun makes me want to swear. He had to say, "My words may not work."

Xunxiang specially brought a box of soft glutinous snacks made by Grandma Dai to the old man, and even had meals and lunch breaks here.

The old man and the young man didn't say anything unhappy. The older one mainly talked about being a teacher to the emperor, while the younger one mainly talked about life in Beiquan Village.

Seemingly unintentional, there is a big mystery hidden in it.

Xunxiang didn't mention that matter to her ancestors. Not only was she unwilling to help Xun Feng, but she was also not arrogant enough to really think she was great enough to change the old man's decision.

Dongyang stayed in Xunfeng's yard all day.

Returning to the princess's house in the evening, Dongyang asked Xunxiang with Xun's consort on his back, "Have you told your ancestors about that?"

Xunxiang Nuonuo said, "I told you, but my ancestor didn't answer."

"My ancestors are hard of hearing, so maybe they didn't hear it."

"I thought so at first, and I said it twice, but he still didn't answer. Mom, I discovered a problem. If the ancestor wants to hear, he can hear it even if others whisper it. If he doesn't want to hear, he can hear it even if others say it quietly. It was so loud that he pretended not to hear it.”

She was not talking nonsense, she even made fun of the old boy.

Dongyang looked at his innocent-looking daughter and had no choice but to let her go back.

On the twenty-third, the three brothers Xun Yiming, Xun Yizhi, and Xun Feng set out for Huizhou under the escort of more than twenty servants.

Dongyang, Xun Qiandai and Xun Yibo all went to Xun Mansion to see him off.

Xunxiang didn't go.

On the 20th, because he went to see off Xun Shi, he and his brothers did not get together, so Xun Xiang sent a letter asking them to come to Sipin Study Room today.

Not only did the three of them come, but Mrs. Zhang, who missed her daughter, also came.

What an unexpected surprise.

Ding Zhao can't come. Now at the end of the year, "Baotie" is very busy and he has been living in Hexian County.

They were sitting in the back room, the four of them huddled together, without any grudge.

Ding Sifu was too embarrassed to squeeze through and sat aside, watching them and laughing.

The food comes from the restaurant and is eaten here.

After applying, several people reluctantly went home.

Xunxiang returned to the princess mansion, but the three people had not returned yet.

She went back to the house and continued to hook up her woolen vest.

Xun Xiang did not allow anyone to get their hands on these two things given to the emperor and empress. Only by doing it by herself can she express her most sincere filial piety.

At the beginning of Xu Shi, it was already dark and the night was thick, but those people had not returned yet.

Aunt Wei brought a food box and said, "You must be hungry, Princess. Please eat some snacks to cushion your meal."

The little master always has a good appetite and is afraid that she will be hungry.

Xunxiang was really hungry and ate two snacks. She was suspicious. Dongyang was not in a good mood today and did not mention having dinner at Xun Mansion.

Not long after, the little girl who was watching outside ran in and said, "Princess, Her Royal Highness is back."

Xunxiang walked to the moon gate and saw the sedan being carried directly in front of the main hall door, and a woman carrying Dongyang with her head hanging down on her back into the house.

Followed by Xun Yibo, who looked serious, and several imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes.

I didn't see Prince Consort Xun.

Dongyang is sick, is he so angry because of his fake daughter?

Xun Xiang didn't understand, but hurriedly followed in.

Dongyang lay on the bed, his eyes were closed, his hair was messy, and his makeup was all stained.

It seems that it is not as simple as being sick.

Xun Xiang was embarrassed to ask, and Xun Yibo stood in front of the bed with his hands down and a haggard look on his face.

An imperial doctor bent over to administer an acupuncture.

Xun Yibo would whisper from time to time, "Mom, how do you feel...Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water...Mom, please take care of yourself..."

Dongyang closed his eyes and did not respond.

Thank you to Menghui Moganshan, 20230911215940209, Song Amei, and Duckweed in the Water for your rewards. Thank you for your monthly votes. . . This time the condition is not serious. I no longer have a fever after taking the medicine, but my body is sore and uncomfortable. I hope I can persevere. . .
