"Xian'er, please be gentle." Li Xingchen yelled "Ouch".
Xiao Xiang rolled up his sleeves and had no intention of paying any attention to Li Xingchen. The towel in his hand was stained with water and he rubbed it upwards hard.
Li Xingchen shouted again.
Xiao Xiang then Shi Shiran said: "Your Majesty, you don't even look at how much dust and dirt you have on your body. Get up quickly. This basin of water can be replaced."
In fact, Xiao Xiang was retaliating against Li Xingchen. This guy had to go to the fields to cut wheat, making himself sweaty and dirty. Not to mention, he didn't even take such a new thing with him. This is
What makes Xiao Xiang angry the most.
Li Xingchen snorted: "Are you rubbing your back or murdering your husband?"
Xiao Xiang smiled slyly, and Li Xingchen stood up straight, naked and with nothing to cover him.
"Ah!" Xiao Xiang turned around and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Li Xinchen, "It's not your turn to change the water, so just come here and serve me."
Xiao Xiang blushed and closed his eyes: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"Of course I'll help you wash it first."
"The water is dirty." Xiao Xiang said decisively.
"We'll wash it together later." Li Xingchen chuckled and slid his hand along the collar.
Xiao Xiang immediately fell into his arms.
"The water is here." Li Xingchen said with a smile when he saw several maids carrying a new bathtub.
And Xiao Xiang grunted twice, which seemed to give up the struggle.
After bathing, Li Xingchen, dressed in a white robe and with wet hair hanging loose, walked through the courtyard. The evening breeze was blowing, and perhaps because it was close to Mianshui, the wind also had a bit of coolness.
Xiao Xiang probably couldn't get up for a while, so he lazily let Li Xingchen go first. Li Xingchen was afraid that she was in the water, so he specifically told Yuchi Chifan to take a look. After all, if this girl really fell asleep, and those
If the maids dare not disturb him, they will catch a cold if they are not properly protected.
Colds are not a minor illness these days.
Beside the waterside pavilion, Ning Yuan was learning to play the piano under the guidance of Mrs. Xu. The little girl's hands were as stiff as eagle claws, and she was plucking the strings at a loss. But Mrs. Xu felt helpless next to her.
Xu is the granddaughter of Xu Ling and the orphan daughter of Xu Ling's second son Xu Fen. Xu Fen is a well-known filial son among Xu Ling's sons. When Xu Ling was seriously ill, Xu Fen burned incense and prayed for Xu Ling.
After reciting the "Book of Filial Piety" for three days and three nights, Xu Ling's condition improved unexpectedly, which was praised by the world. Later, Xu Fen also served as the chief clerk of Chen Shuying, the king of Yuzhang, and later became the prince's horse washer.
Unexpectedly, God was jealous of talents, so he died young at the age of twenty-two in the second year of Taijian, leaving only this daughter.
Mrs. Xu is exactly sixteen this year, which is the age when Yunying is unmarried. She is also the only woman of the right age in the Xu family, so she naturally takes on the important task of entering the palace.
As for whether there are selfish motives among Xu Ling's other sons, Li Xingchen doesn't know. After all, there is still a conflict between Li Xingchen and Xu Ling's eldest son Xu Jian, who once worked for Chen Shuling. As a result, Xu Jian still dares not to become an official.
None of Xu Ling's other sons held any important official positions. Only Xu Deyan, his grandson, was the most promising and destined to inherit Xu Ling's mantle. In order to snatch the political legacy that Xu Ling could leave behind, these Xu family members
There may not necessarily be conflicts among the disciples, and the first thing to do is to kick Xu Fen's daughter out first. Otherwise, there will be one more person by then, and who knows how many conflicts there will be.
A daughter's family naturally has no choice but to go with the flow under such circumstances.
When Mrs. Xu saw Li Xingchen coming, she hurriedly saluted respectfully.
She is not a queen, but she is definitely beautiful, especially the aura between her eyebrows. Perhaps she was influenced by the atmosphere of a family of poets and writers. Moreover, as a lady, her gestures naturally carry an admirable aura.
It’s a feeling that you can’t play with when you look at it from a distance.
Of course, she is also a lady, and even has royal blood. Why is Ning Yuan so different? Li Xingchen looked at the sad-faced little girl and sighed helplessly.
Because she was spoiled by herself, it was probably impossible for Mrs. Xuanhua to be born in history. When Ning Yuan saw Li Xinchen approaching, she threw herself directly into Li Xinchen's arms.
"Pingshen." Li Xingchen smiled helplessly at the somewhat reserved Xu. After all, the two of them had only met a few times and were only known as husband and wife. It was inevitable that Xu would be a little nervous about this strange husband.
What's more, this is still His Majesty the Emperor.
And the fact that Ning Yuan and Li Xingchen looked the same as each other obviously surprised her even more.
"What's wrong? How was your practice today?" Li Xingchen touched Ning Yuan's little head.
"Very good." Ning Yuan said hurriedly.
Li Xingchen asked her to sit next to the piano: "Then play it for me."
Ning Yuan suddenly froze there. After hesitating for a moment, he put on a confident look again, took a long breath, and lit the remaining incense in the incense burner, quite like everyone else.
Li Xingchen watched with great interest as this little girl was well prepared. He leaned close to Mrs. Xu and lowered his voice and said, "Is it true?"
Mrs. Xu was startled for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "It must be a fake?"
The piano sounded.
It stopped abruptly after a while.
Because Li Xingchen held Ning Yuan's hand.
The little girl turned her head stiffly.
Li Xingchen sneered.
Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly as she watched Li Xingchen chase Ning Yuan all over the yard. The two of them were one behind the other, one big and one small. Ning Yuan, the little girl, ran through the corridors and rockeries with great agility, taking advantage of her thin body to take shortcuts, while Li Xingchen
I can always take a long way to catch up with her quickly.
Why do these two people look so skilled?
Xu thought helplessly.
And soon there was a "plop" sound. Ning Yuan couldn't avoid it and simply jumped into the pond. Li Xingchen jumped in decisively.
"Your Majesty!" Xu exclaimed.
After a while, bubbles appeared on the water, and Li Xingchen fished Ning Yuan out. Perhaps he was struggling too anxiously, and Ning Yuan took a sip of water, looking quite embarrassed. But when she realized that Mrs. Xu was in a hurry to call someone.
When he came, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted with force: "No, don't call anyone!"
Mrs. Xu was startled for a moment when she saw Li Xingchen slap Ning Yuan on the buttocks.
"It hurts!" The little girl burst into tears.
Only then did Xu react.
This little girl is afraid of being embarrassed.
And Li Xingchen slapped him again.
"Why is there still more?"
"Who told you to jump directly into the water?!" Li Xingchen snorted coldly.
This time Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh.
This one is one big and one small, and it’s too out of shape.
And Li Xingchen carried Ning Yuan ashore, looked at his wet clothes, and said helplessly: "I knew I wouldn't take a shower just now."
Ning Yuan seemed to have healed his scar and forgot about the pain, and made a face at Li Xingchen.
