In the twelfth lunar month, there was a lot of busyness inside and outside the palace. Chinese New Year is a big event, and every household pours money to prepare for New Year's Eve. At this time in previous years, Ling Qiyang would spend the little money he had saved for a year at his father's place to buy new things. But this year, he married into Prince Lin's mansion, so he can't worry about family affairs anymore, so he will inevitably miss his father.
Today is the twenty-eighth day, and the palace is going to seal the pen. Jun Lixuan went to the court for the last morning before the year, and said that after the court, he would have breakfast with the third and sixth brothers, and would come back at noon. Ling Qiyang was fine, so he sat in front of the big porcelain tank and fed the fish. When the weather is warm, these fish are kept in the pond in the mansion. When the weather is cold, it will be picked up and put into a tank to keep in the house. Otherwise, if they freeze to death every year and then raise them again, the koi originally bred for auspiciousness will not be able to keep their blessings.
Ming Li and Luo Su came in in turn to ask Ling Qiyang's opinion, and let him take charge of the New Year's affairs, so that Ling Qiyang had no time to think about his father, which made him feel less sentimental.
Seeing that the feeding was almost done, Ling Qiyang put the food box aside.
"Princess." Luo Su walked in quickly with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Jun Lixuan left all the arrangements for this year's Chinese New Year to him, although he didn't need to do it himself, but he had to come to ask his opinion on everything, which also made Ling Qiyang feel very busy.
Luo Su laughed "hee hee" and said, "Your clothes are here." He waved to the door, and the waiters outside the door filed in one after another, each holding a stack of clothes, and they were all in the same color the red.
"What kind of clothes are these?" The New Year's clothes were prepared and delivered the day before yesterday, and he didn't remember that there were other orders in the house. And even if you make clothes, you don't need to be so red, it's even more colorful than Xifu.
"Back to the princess. This is ordered by the prince. There are more than one hundred sets in total, all of which are winter clothes. I said that I want you to change them." Luo Su smiled brighter.
Ling Qiyang was taken aback, "Why are you making so many winter clothes?"
"I don't know about this little one. On the third day of the wedding, the lord gave orders. The needlework bureau and the first-class clothing shop outside rushed to make it day and night, so they delivered it in full." Most of Ling Qiyang's clothes are light in color , That day when he was serving in the new house, he saw Ling Qiyang in her wedding dress, and felt that his princess looked better in bright colors.
"Put it there." Ling Qiyang pointed to the table.
The little waiters heard the words and put the clothes on, but it looked a little funny to pile them up there. Just as he wanted Luo Su to put the clothes into the closet, Jun Lixuan walked in.
"Already delivered?" Jun Lixuan walked to the table without the servant's gift, flipped through the clothes, nodded, "well done, reward."
"Yes." Luo Su took the order, and then retreated with the others in a very sensible manner.
Ling Qiyang got up and walked over, and said: "How can I make so many clothes, I can't wear them all, and they are all red, it's strange to go out."
In fact, there are people who wear red clothes, but they are not Zhenghong. And Jun Lixuan asked people to do all of them in bright red, which was extremely gorgeous.
"It's okay, if you don't want to go out to wear it, you can wear it at home, just show it to me." Jun Lixuan shook off a coat and put it on Ling Qiyang, thinking it was very suitable, "You look good in red, gorgeous but not coquettish." , very elegant. Doing this for you is also to let me remember the moment when I picked you up and got off the sedan chair, the feeling of thumping."
Jun Lixuan looked at Ling Qiyang, his bottomless eyes seemed to be recalling other things before him through his eyes. Jun Lixuan didn't tell Ling Qiyang that the reason why he made these red clothes for him was to let him always remember what Ling Qiyang did for him in his previous life, remember the pain in his heart when this person died, and remember that in this life he had to treat him twice as well …
Ling Qiyang lowered his head and said nothing, he could feel Jun Lixuan's heart, and he liked it very much.
In the afternoon, the two of them sat in the soft bed of the conservatory and looked at their books. Occasionally, the sound of pages turning was embellished with tranquility, giving them a sense of tranquility and leisure.
Blinking his tired eyes, Ling Qiyang raised his eyes to look at Jun Lixuan, and found that although his eyes were on the book, he was in a daze, probably not knowing what was written in the book.
"What's wrong?" Ling Qiyang put down the book and asked.
Jun Lixuan stretched out his hand to hold Ling Qiyang to himself, and said with some worry: "This time, because of you, I solved the confusion of my father's nightmare. But thinking about it, I still can't guard against it. Although the Queen's life is not threatened this time, it is also possible. It’s hard to guarantee that it won’t happen next time. It’s better for us to defend secretly than openly, but it’s not a long-term strategy. We still need to think of ways to protect the empress.”
As a child, the health of parents is naturally the most concerned. When the parents are safe, the mind is at peace, but when the parents are sick, the mind is disturbed. Although the royal family is majestic, the closeness between parents and children is unusual and casual, and there are always rules and restraints. As princes, there are many people who are ambitious and selfish. All they see is the position above ten thousand people. Even filial piety is just a show. Such a person, even if he has a noble status, Ling Qiyang doesn't care about it. And Jun Lixuan's worry and filial piety are from the heart, although this person doesn't talk much, but he has been using his actions to prove that Ling Qiyang is very clear that he has not misjudged the person. Even though Jun Lixuan is cold-blooded and ruthless on the battlefield, he is a filial son and a good brother at home, and he is also a good husband.
"I really have no idea. Tomorrow, I will ask the sixth brother to go to the third brother's house together, tell them about the spices, and figure out a way together." Jun Lixuan grew up in the palace, and he has learned a lot about the methods of fighting for favor, but Never used it myself. Therefore, I couldn't think of a perfect method for a while, the Yakun Palace did not lack those things that are usually used to test poisons, but things like spices that ordinary people are not easy to detect, and they are not fatal, but they can't be tested. Big trouble.
If it really doesn't work, we can only solve it from the root cause and get rid of the imperial concubine. But how easy is it? The imperial concubine's mother's family is actually a family of famous warriors, with military power in their hands. In addition, she gave birth to five princes and raised four princes, so the emperor will always take care of one or two. And even if the imperial concubine is eliminated, who can guarantee that there will be no second or third imperial concubine
Ling Qiyang heard the faint fragrance from the sachet on Jun Lixuan's body, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not impossible."
"You have a solution?" Jun Lixuan looked at him. Although he knew that Ling Qiyang was proficient in this way, he didn't expect him to figure out a way.
Ling Qiyang got up and stayed on the bed, went to the table and picked up a brush, filled it with ink, and began to write on the paper. After writing, fold it up and put it in an envelope, and write "Daddy's Kiss" on the cover.
Jun Lixuan walked over puzzled, but only saw the words on the envelope. Ling Qiyang's handwriting is very beautiful, and Jun Lixuan suddenly thought of a sentence - in the future, the child can learn calligraphy from his father.
After thinking about it, Jun Lixuan smiled. He had no idea about his heirs. But after taking photos with Ling Qiyang, I also feel that it would be nice to have two children. But he is not going to tell Ling Qiyang this idea, after all, Qingzi's pregnancy is not easy, he doesn't want to put pressure on Ling Qiyang, just let nature take its course.
After sealing the letter, Ling Qiyang invited Ming Li who was waiting at the door to come in, and handed him the letter and his personal jade pendant, "Send these two things to Uncle Wangyang's residence and give them to my father."
"Yes, I'll do it now, little one." Ming Li took the things with both hands and ran out. Although he is Jun Lixuan's servant, whoever has the final say in the mansion now has the final say in his heart. Even if the concubine's order is not the prince's intention, it must be for the prince.
"What did you write?" Mingli took the letter and ran away without even saying hello to his serious master. He originally wanted to read Ling Qiyang's writing again.
"I'll find out in a while." Ling Qiyang bought a pass, and went back to the couch to continue reading.
Jun Lixuan smiled helplessly, and also got on the couch to watch with Ling Qiyang.
At dinner time, Mingli came back from Uncle Wangyang's residence, holding a black cat in his hand. The black cat is not big, with beautiful green eyes, lying motionless in Mingli's arms, holding Ling Qiyang's jade pendant that was hung around its neck.
Ming Li also hugged it nervously, as if afraid that someone would accidentally drop it or let it run away. It wasn't until he entered the side hall that he breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and said, "Mrs. Yue Qing asked the little one to bring it back..."
Before the words fell, the black cat saw Ling Qiyang sitting on the front seat, and then jumped out of Mingli's arms excitedly, and went straight to Ling Qiyang. Ling Qiyang hugged it with a smile, stroked its smooth fur, and teased it lovingly, "Little thing, are you fat?"
The black cat rubbed Ling Qiyang's hand affectionately, rolling in his arms coquettishly.
Jun Lixuan looked at the person and the cat happily hugging there, and found it interesting, "You just wanted this cat?"
"Yeah. It's called Mo Yu'er, and it's a medicine cat." Ling Qiyang said.
"Demon cat?" Jun Lixuan was puzzled, Mo Yu'er's name sounded nice and suited this black cat, but why was it still a demon
"It's not a demon, it's the 'medicine' of medicinal materials." Ling Qiyang was helplessly misunderstood by him, and explained: "It was fed with medicine since it was a child, and it can find any poisonous things."
"I've heard of the medicine man."
"The nature is similar to that. It's just that most medicine people are made to harm people, or the medicine people themselves are no different from dead people. But medicine cats are non-toxic and very spiritual." Ling Qiyang rubbed Mo Yu'er's stomach, It was so comfortable that it meowed.
"That's the solution you said?" Seeing the cat wishing to rely on Ling Qiyang, Jun Lixuan felt that there should be spirituality.
"En." Ling Qiyang got up and stuffed Mo Yu'er into Jun Lixuan's arms, and took out the box containing Shenyuexiang and Yunzhuxiang.
Suddenly being stuffed into a strange embrace, Mo Yu'er leaned her neck and stared at Jun Lixuan with big eyes. Jun Lixuan felt that she could crush this little thing to death with one hand, so she had to freeze there so as not to really hurt her. Ling Qiyang felt distressed.
Ling Qiyang put some cloud bamboo incense into the incense burner, and then took Luo Su out, dabbed a little agarwood incense on his little finger and wiped it on Luo Su's cuff, asking him to come in after a while.
Back in the side hall, seeing Jun Lixuan holding Mo Yuer sitting there stiffly, Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "Mo Yuer has very strong vitality, you don't have to worry about hurting it."
Mo Yu'er stood on Jun Lixuan's lap, shook her head, looked at Ling Qiyang, but did not rush over.
"Hurry up and hug it, I think it's almost lost its sight." Jun Lixuan looked at Mo Yu'er who was staring at Ling Qiyang blankly, and felt that the cat seemed a little weird.
Ling Qiyang shook his head, "It's not for me to hug."
While speaking, Luo Su walked in. As soon as she stepped into the door of the side hall, Mo Yu'er immediately turned her head, her green eyes fixed on Luo Su, so frightened that Luo Su couldn't help taking a step back, and froze on the spot. Mo Yu'er arched her waist, the hair all over her body exploded, and after a "meow", she jumped out and rushed towards the incense burner.
The incense burner fell to the ground with a clang, and the ashes scattered all over the floor.
Jun Lixuan looked at Mo Yu'er who found the danger, and was quite surprised. It seems that the cat is quite clever.
"Mo Yuer." Ling Qiyang called to it, and Mo Yuer obediently ran over and jumped into Ling Qiyang's arms. Ling Qiyang stroked its small head and said with a smile: "It's well done."
"Meow." Mo Yu'er rubbed against Ling Qiyang, seeming very happy.
Ling Qiyang said to the startled Luo Su: "Don't be afraid, Mo Yu'er won't hurt anyone. It's because I put spices on you just now. Go and change clothes."
"Yes." Luo Su, who came back to his senses, nodded. In fact, this cat is not big, and it has no lethality at all, but the eyes just now are really scary.
After Luo Su went down, Ling Qiyang went on to say: "Just now my fingers were also stained with spices. Although I wiped it on Luo Su's body, there was still a small amount of residue. Seeing that I didn't rush over to let me hug her, Mo Yu'er also noticed something strange. No matter what, as long as it is harmful to people, it can detect it, and then rush to that thing, but it will never hurt people. You can rest assured to keep it with the empress."
"Sure enough, it's a good cat." Even he felt Mo Yu'er's strangeness just now, and if he were a careful woman like Huang Niang, she would definitely feel it faster and avoid danger, "But he seems to recognize his master very much. "
Ling Qiyang flicked the jade pendant around its neck, "It won't run away as long as it wears this, it smells like me."
"For the sake of the empress, I want you to part with me." Jun Lixuan walked up to Ling Qiyang, and touched Mo Yu'er in his arms.
"As long as you can feel at ease." Sending Mo Yu'er to the queen is not considered for outsiders, and he may see it when he enters the palace. When there is a suitable kitten in the future, he will ask the queen to raise it, so that when the cat grows up and recognizes the queen as its owner, he can take Mo Yu'er back.
Jun Lixuan held Ling Qiyang's hand with a smile, and kissed her lips, which was very tender.
