Chapter 170 King Rui is here

Xiao Jingcheng saw the father and son of Cheng family, and heard the "Cheng Lanqing" and felt very upset.

He called He Fang to the front: "Is the bunker safe?"

"Master, don't worry, the bunker is solid." He Fang said.

He asked Xiao Jingcheng again, "Why did you suddenly ask about the bunker?"

"Nothing happened." Xiao Jingcheng said.

He missed Xue Mei very much.

It was another three days since I saw her. I couldn't smell her breath or hear her breathing. Xiao Jingcheng felt empty.

It is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year is coming.

Xiao Jingcheng had actually woken up for twenty days, but everyone knew that it was only twelve days.

His body is free from illness and disaster. He lies down and makes him lose weight. After he deliberately nourishes it, he has a little flesh on his face; his legs, feet and arms are also strong, and he can run and jump.

In the past twelve days, Xue Mei never came to Prince Rui's Mansion again.

It was like the past ten months, with the death of the cat, it was over, and she had nothing to do with Xiao Jingcheng.

On Laba Day, Prince Rui’s Mansion made Laba porridge and the palace also rewarded a lot.

Xiao Jingcheng asked someone to pack a food box and wanted to go to Yongning Hou Mansion to find Xue Mei in person.

He didn't want to force him too hard, but the twelve days were so long that he couldn't bear it anymore.

Even though he has been taking a lot of money these days and his appetite for each meal is two or three times that of the previous meal, he is still 7 or 8 kilograms thinner than before.

He also covered himself in white.

In order not to look so thin, Xiao Jingcheng changed into a white cotton dark coat, and the outside looked like a white satin blouse.

When he went out, he happened to meet Qi Siran, and she wanted to go into the palace to see Empress Dowager Qi.

Xiao Jingcheng was at the gate, waiting for the guards to lead the horses over. Qi Siran stared at him in a daze, as if he didn't know him, and he nodded slightly.

He rarely wears white clothes, and Qi Siran has never seen him dress like this before and is shocked.

Xiao Jingcheng turned over and horse.

Qi Siran's carriage also came over. She got on the carriage and thought: "Did he enter the palace too?"

Her heart beat faster, making her breathing more rapid.

When Xiao Jingcheng arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion of Yongning, the Marquis’ Mansion was a little embarrassed.

The Laba porridge rewarded in the palace was of course for the people of the Hou Mansion to give it to the second lady Xue Yutan. After all, she was the Concubine of Prince Yu. Unexpectedly, the eunuch said it was to the eldest lady Xue Mei.

"The concubine rewarded her. The eldest lady saved the concubine's life. This was specially rewarded by the concubine's concubine's part. She didn't even have a princess." The eunuch said to everyone in the Xue family.

The eunuch was sent to Yutangyuan.

When Xue Mei was called over, the eunuch planned to return to the palace to report his life.

She stuffed a purse, which contained a hundred taels of silver notes, and gave them to the eunuch.

The eunuch heard that the Chengyang County Lord was generous and left happily after getting his purse.

The Laba porridge rewarded in the palace was all filled with jars and wrapped tightly in satin, and it was still hot when delivered to the mansion.

At this moment, the second lady's face looked very bad.

The old lady stood on the side of the second lady and felt a little sad. However, the imperial concubine rewarded her and she did not dare to act rashly.

"Show it out and give it to everyone." The old lady said coldly, "We are all complacent of the eldest lady's honor."

These words are sarcastic.

Xue Yutan was silent all the time.

Yongning Hou looked at her and comforted her, "You are about to be your daughter-in-law, so how could you give gifts to your daughter-in-law? The imperial concubine didn't treat you as an outsider, so she gave it to your sister specifically. This is also a way of respecting you."

After hearing this, everyone agreed and comforted Xue Yutan.

Xue Yutan's face was slightly relaxed.

Xue Mei smiled, not caring about it.

Xue Chi glanced at her, but said nothing.

Just as everyone was about to have breakfast, the servant outside stumbled in, and it was obvious how fast he ran, and his breath was unstable: "Hou, Marquis, King Rui, Prince Rui, Prince Rui are here to deliver Laba porridge."

Everyone was shocked.

The most powerful prince in Kyoto is naturally King Rui.

King Rui was in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and was the emperor's youngest brother, and had outstanding achievements. No one in the court could be above King Rui. Even the emperor should respect him three points.

The reason why he kept hiding his illness was because he was afraid that something would happen to the commander and his morale would be unstable.

He suddenly came to deliver Laba porridge, and the Xue family had only one feeling: the servant recognized the wrong person and heard the wrong words.

The servant got into Yutangyuan and was scolded by Yongning Hou.

"Let's talk about it slowly, what's the hurry?" said Yongning Hou.

The servant: "Rui, King Rui... Marquis, it's King Rui!"

Yongning Hou frowned: "What King of Rui?"

"A prince is here. He gave Laba porridge to the county lord. He said he was Prince Rui." The servant was able to speak smoothly and pressed his lungs that were about to pant.

Yongning Hou frowned again.

What's going on?

King Rui is so idle that he wants to give Xue Mei Laba porridge? Even if she has been appointed as the county lord and saved the imperial concubine, it is just like that. How can Prince Rui look at him differently?

Xue Yutan's heart was shocked.

No, Xue Mei doesn't have that good luck.

How could she know King Rui?

I heard that King Rui has never been in Beijing, and it seems that he is not in Baiya Town. This year, he changed his defense to the south.

Even if Xue Mei really knows her, King Rui would not give her Laba porridge.

Laba porridge is not a big gift, but there are many tricks in the middle.

Generally, relatives with good relationships give each other; the Laba porridge rewarded in the palace only rewards the princes and nobles, representing the emperor's closeness to them.

It is not based on the level of power.

Giving Laba porridge means having a good personal relationship. If there is no personal relationship, it is just a business deal. You will not give porridge on Laba day, but other valuable gifts.

Even if King Rui knew Xue Mei, he would not be familiar with this level.

It’s not that Xue Yutan looks down on Xue Mei, but that King Rui doesn’t have this time.

Prince Rui, who is so busy that he has no time to establish a personal relationship with Xue Mei?

"Father, my daughter guessed that maybe it was a prince who was joking with the servant, or maybe it was a servant who heard it wrong." Xue Yutan said.

The old lady nodded: "I must have heard it wrong."

The servant knelt down: "Old lady, I don't dare to do it. That man does claim to be King Rui."

"What kind of person is like?" Xue Yutan asked again.

The servant thought about it and didn't know how to answer. He saw Xue Chi in a blink of an eye and immediately said, "It's about the same size as the eldest master, and it's about the same fat and thin. It's quite white, wearing a white silk blouse."

Xue Yutan frowned.

Yongning Hou laughed: "Can King Rui be like this? He is a general, so he is thicker than the Chier. Besides, Baiya Zhenshang can still be white? It must be someone who is joking with us."

Since it's just a joke and dare to pretend to be King Rui, it's definitely an out of tune.

Yongning Hou: "Chi'er, you will meet him when you go out and see who will play with us like this."

He said to Xue Mei again, "Don't mess with everyone."

Xue Mei smiled: "Father has taught me a lesson."

She also stood up and held a small cat with a hairy cat in her arms: "Father, since I am giving gifts to me, I should be someone I know. I will go and take a look with my elder brother."

Yongning Hou waved his hand.

Xue Mei stood up.

The brother and sister walked out together. Xue Chi glanced at the cat in Xue Mei's arms and asked her: "Where did this come from? What was the one in the past?"

"That one has passed away. This new one is called Fat Girl. Fat Girl, I'll give you my uncle a greeting." Xue Mei said.

Xue Chi: "..."

First, the kitten is not fat. How lazy is the owner of this name? Second, Xue Mei's child wants to be called Uncle Xue Chi, and Xue Chi doesn't want to be this cheap uncle.

He looked at Xue Mei in a word.

Xue Mei said again: "This time I am a girl, my daughter."

Xue Chi: "..."

Forget it, she's happy.

The brother and sister arrived at the outer courtyard and saw a man standing in the main hall of the Hou's Mansion, looking at the painting in the middle hall.

He took off his blouse in the room, dressed in a dark white dress, his hair neatly combed, and his sideburns were black; the deep dress was cut to outline the smooth curve of his waist and back.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his face and his eyes suddenly locked in Xue Mei.

He was indeed a little white, but pale, and he would not see the whiteness of the sun for a long time; he had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and especially those eyes, which were shining and restrained, and his eyelids were thin and a little cool.

Xue Chi was stunned, and Xue Mei was also stunned.
