Xu Jian turned to look at Lin Yunyan.
The little princess suddenly tilted her head, which was undoubtedly a lie, and it was so obvious that she was just trying to let the empress dowager and the emperor see it.
Pretending to make the two of them happy...
I have to say that this is what the little princess is capable of.
Younger father-in-law had quick eyes and quick hands, so he stretched out his arm so that Xu Jian could help him.
Xu Jian lowered his eyes.
It's true that my right leg feels uncomfortable, but it doesn't mean that I can't stand up without any help.
However, he would not go as far as to offend his father-in-law.
Otherwise, the little princess would look sideways after a moment.
She has good eyes and a natural smile, and her sideways glare doesn't have much power, but makes people want to laugh.
It doesn't matter at all, just stare as much as you like.
Today in front of the emperor, her little deliberate thoughts were probably to add fuel to the fire and stir things up.
Putting a hand on Yu's father-in-law's arm, Xu Jian stood up slowly.
Beside her, Grandma Wang held back her laughter and helped Lin Yunyan up.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.
Except Li Shao.
Li Shao sat on the edge.
Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan were about to give a grand ceremony just now. Li Shao did not go to the Queen Mother's side to get close to them. He just sat down at the table and drank tea by himself.
Originally, he was content that the water in the well did not interfere with the river, but he did not expect that Xu Jian's wounds would be revealed.
right.
No one talked about it, no one mentioned the old injury, no one complained about it, but every move was an old score.
Li Shao's gaze passed over Xu Jian's legs with an expressionless expression.
Many times, Li Shao couldn't understand Xu Jian.
Xu Jian himself looked like a normal person. There was no visible limp when he walked, and he even stood up straighter than others. Except when he deliberately blocked people's mouths, he never mentioned the root cause of the disease in his right leg.
But if you say that Xu Jian is not sick or in pain, you are bluffing people with old wounds...
No matter whether Li Shao opens his eyes or closes them, he can't tell such nonsense.
He saw with his own eyes that Xu Jian was injured and his entire right leg was stained red with blood. That horrific scene remained in Li Shao's mind and he couldn't get rid of it.
It's very common for such blood to drip and cause disease.
He knew it, but he didn't like it. He was on pins and needles and his scalp was numb.
The cushions were taken away, the chairs were put in place, and hot tea and snacks were added. The people in Cining Palace worked very quickly.
Lin Yunyan sat down under the Empress Dowager with a sweet smile.
The Queen Mother held her hand and teased her with a smile: "Does it hurt from the fall?"
Lin Yunyan was not shy at all and told the truth: "It's my first time to fall like this, so I didn't control it well. Fortunately, I have thick clothes."
Such sincerity made the Queen Mother laugh.
"The Ai family knows what the Lord is thinking," the Empress Dowager glanced at the Lord, who was also in a good mood, "Yun Yan is not a naive person, but she has been careful and caring since she was a child."
The Holy Emperor was thinking about it and asked the Empress Dowager to point it out directly, but he was not annoyed: "Ning An's meticulousness is all due to your good teaching."
"That's because Yun Yan is thorough and can be taught," the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and added, "She cares about the Ai family, and the Ai family is willing to let her care about her, and come and go."
Xu Jian smiled softly.
The Queen Mother said these words to him.
If people want to get along with each other in a meaningful way, they must be able to come and go.
If you only have a hot head, you won't be able to go far after all.
Xu Jian turned sideways to Lin Yunyan and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern."
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and blinked.
Sure enough, he is still in front of the emperor.
This thank you was respectful and restrained in tone, and there was no hint of yin and yang in it.
The Holy Spirit cleared his throat and said some words of admonishment. They were all in accordance with the rules and regulations, and they were very strict.
"It sounds a bit boring, right?" After the Lord finished speaking, he commented, and then slowly said, "I used to find it boring too.
But in the past few years, when I looked back at these admonitions, I realized that they were all good words.
There is a lot of wisdom and many flexibility in how couples get along.
If I had understood these principles in my early years, many things might have been different.
You young people, think more about it yourself. "
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression condensed slightly, she knew what the Holy One was referring to.
Xu Jian also knew.
Uncle Chengyi had told him in private before.
On the night when Dingguo Temple was flooded, the Holy Emperor and Queen Xia had some verbal dissatisfaction, so they walked to the front hall to relax, so they met the townspeople at the foot of the mountain who came to move rescue troops.
In excitement, he took his guards and monk soldiers down the mountain to rescue, but the temple was left empty of manpower and unable to rescue when the fire broke out.
It is actually unfair to judge the Holy Spirit's choice that day as an afterthought.
The dangerous situation at the foot of the mountain was a premeditation and calculation. As a prince at that time, the Holy Spirit should rush to rescue.
The fire at Dingguo Temple is still concluded as an accident. The Holy Spirit was not thorough enough at the time, but it does not mean that he was wrong.
It's just that he has a knot in his heart and is very difficult to cope with.
His last interaction with Queen Xia was a dispute.
The cause is so small that it is not even worth arguing about. In the end, the yin and yang are separated. How can the living people not have regrets and regrets in their hearts?
Xu Jian respectfully replied: "I will remember the teachings of the Holy One."
Lin Yunyan also responded in the same way.
After the Holy One finished speaking, it was supposed that the Empress Dowager should give some more instructions.
Just as she was about to speak, she raised her eyes and saw Li Shao looking forlorn at the side.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply in her heart.
In the words of the Holy Master, she was thinking of Shen Yun who was in distress, so what Li Shao would be thinking of was naturally his mother.
Li Shao survived the fire with only a few cuts on his body.
He was only four years old at the time.
After narrowly escaping from death, he fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he knew that the fire broke out that night, but he forgot the specific process.
The imperial doctor said that this was normal. His mind was protecting his body, so that memory was blurred.
But no matter how vague it was, Li Shao knew that he lost his mother that night.
To prevent young children who have lost their mothers from missing them?
That is impossible and cannot be done.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and changed her words: "There are all kinds of tea here. The Ai family always drinks Laojunmei. The Holy One likes Longjing. Yun Yan sometimes makes some fruit tea and scented tea. I don't know what Fu Guogong likes." One mouthful. The tea cans are stored in the hall on the opposite side. Yun Yan, you can take Duke Fu to pick them out."
Picking out tea is fake, but paying for it is real.
Lin Yunyan could certainly hear it.
The empress acts with her own considerations.
Lin Yunyan stood up and made an invitation gesture with Xu Jian.
After a series of actions, her eyes naturally slid over everyone, and she saw Li Shao's emotions.
She then understood what the Queen Mother was thinking.
If the empress were like the Holy Emperor and said some common words, Li Shao would be uncomfortable listening to her.
If the parents have short-term concerns, there is no need to rush. The empress can tell her whatever she wants to tell her at any time.
It's better to put it aside first and calm down Li Shao's situation.
Give her a chance and let her and Xu Jian go aside to talk to themselves.
