Chapter 716 Leverage (Part 2)
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang were both a little surprised.
Do you know why you are asked to enter the palace? Eleven Niang asked her son with concern.
He said he was going to Xiyuan to play ice. Brother Jin smiled and said he would let me enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns when I was twelve.
Is it good or bad to be so close?
Eleven Niang looked towards Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi had already told Brother Jin: Don't forget the etiquette, which was a tactful expression of agreement.
How can children not like to play, not to mention the majesty and majesty of the royal family, which is extraordinary. Brother Jin was moved when he heard it. He just thought about his father restraining him these days, fearing that his father would be unhappy, so he readily agreed when he saw his father
, his face was full of joy: Don’t worry, dad, I won’t say a word that I shouldn’t say.
Although Brother Jin is young, he has a good sense of how to deal with others. On this point, Xu Lingyi agrees.
He nodded slightly.
Brother Jin became more energetic and talked to his mother: Xiyuan is very big. The ice lake is bigger than our house. Standing on the lake and looking at it, everything is crystal clear, like a glass world. It is very beautiful.
He also said that the eldest princess said that this year's palace lantern festival will be held in the Royal Flower Garden in front of Qin'an Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been ordered to make a thousand lanterns.
During that trip to Baoding, Xu Lingyi painted landscapes for Eleven Niang along the way. Influenced by his father, Brother Jin also liked to tell his mother what he saw and heard wherever he went.
Eleven Niang listened with a smile. The next day, she and Ah Jin prepared a leather jacket and leather jacket for Brother Jin, and happily sent Brother Jin out early on the sixth day of the lunar month.
Brother Jin came back and pulled Eleven Niang aside: Mom, it turns out that the person who was hit on the head by the eldest princess's bow that day was Wang Xian, the son of Chang Ningwei Commander Qian. How did you know that Eleven Niang has always been paying attention to the Grand Duke?
I hope she can find a man of good character for her marriage. Why did he go to Yuhuāyuan?
He was originally on duty in the Imperial Guard, and he was waiting for Eunuch He by the side of Qin'an Hall on the orders of Commander Ouyang. Brother Jin smiled and said, today we went to play ice. We saw him again. He is on duty at the gate of Xiyuan today.
Eleven Niang thought for a while and said hesitantly: You wouldn't point him out to pull the ice cart for you, would you?
When the princes and princesses were playing on the ice in Xiyuan, the eunuchs would often ask the guards who were on duty in Xiyuan to help pull the ice cart in order to be lazy.
Mother, you are really good. You have guessed all this. Brother Jin hugged his mother's arm with a smile, and the eighth prince pointed at Wang Xian. However, I blamed the eldest princess for not looking so good, so I
When Wang Xian was sent to wave the flag for us to compete in skating, someone needed to wave the flag to indicate the starting time. Who knew that the eldest princess would stop playing after playing for a while. We spent the whole afternoon baking in the side hall of Chonghua Palace.
Eating broad beans looks boring.
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.
Within two days, two men from the Xiaoling Guards came to play with Brother Jin.
One is named Xie Yan and the other is named Wei Xun. Hu Hu said quietly, Master Xie is the grandson of Princess Yong'an. Master Wei is the son of Princess Jiangdu, he is eighteen years old this year. He is a commander with the Sixth Young Master. Listen to that.
He said that he also went to the palace to play ice on the sixth day of the lunar new year. He also smiled and said that the two adults were very polite to others, and they looked elegant. They also brought eight-color gift boxes as gifts.
I didn’t expect Brother Jin to have friends come to visit.
Eleven Niang sighed in her heart and told Hu Hu: It's rare for him to have friends over, so he must not lose his etiquette. You should run over to him more often. Whatever you want to eat or drink, let the kitchen wait for it.
come out from me
Amber smiled and said... she retreated and came back after a while: Madam, you are a little late.
Eleven Niang was puzzled.
Hu Hue covered her sleeves and smiled: When I went there, I saw a steward from the reception area giving orders to a few boys around the Sixth Master. He also said that the kitchen would be well served and the money would come from the Marquis...
Eleven Niang also laughed.
In the evening Brother Jin came over to say hello.
Mom, Wei Xun asked me to go to the western suburbs tomorrow to enjoy plum blossoms. He looked at Eleven Niang longingly. I didn’t even dare to agree to it.
Don't pretend to be pitiful for me here. Eleventh Mother smiled and twisted her son's nose. I will tell your father when he comes back.
If you want to tell me anything, say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there. Xu Lingyi walked in shaking the snow from his cloak.
Daddy, Brother Jin, was chattering around Xu Lingyi like a puppy. I had a friend ask me to go out, but actually I didn’t want to go out. But it was our first date, and I always felt bad if I refused. If I didn’t refuse, I would be afraid of you.
I was angry and hesitated for a long time, so I had to tactfully say, check if there is anything going on at home. Dad, Xie Yan and Wei Xun are both pretty good people, and they can get along well with me.
Xu Lingyi looked funny and angry, but in the end he still felt sorry for his son: You can go, but you can bring a guard with you, and you are not allowed to leave the guard and run away. If you can't do it, you will never go out again. You must be careful, brother.
He was busy protecting, and then murmured, when did I abandon my guard and run away on my own?
The guard was drinking tea in the teahouse, and you ran to go shopping. Only then did Xu Lingyi glance at Brother Luo deeply. Is this considered to be abandoning the guard and running away? Brother Jin was dumbfounded.
Xu Lingyi already said: It's getting late. Since we made an appointment for tomorrow, we should go to bed early so that we can go out early tomorrow. Days are short in winter.
Brother Jin didn't dare to say another word, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated. The next day, he sat in a black carriage with a flat top and head, and was surrounded by more than thirty mouthguards.
At the meeting place, Xie Yan and Wei Xun brought more people than him. Brother Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the group dragged them to Xishan.
When I got home, I said I was going to Xishan to race horses in two days.
Eleven Niang was very surprised: It’s the Chinese New Year. What kind of horse racing can we do? When spring comes and the weather gets warmer, wouldn’t it be better for us to go for an outing in the Xishan Mountains?
It's a friend meeting. Brother Jin smiled and said, "I've already agreed. It's not good if I don't go."
My friend, Eleven Niang, was a little surprised. What was her friend’s name, how did she know her, what was she doing at home?
Brother Jin laughed straight out: I met today when I went to the west of the city to enjoy plum blossoms. They are all four or five years older than me. They are all working as errands in the Xishan Camp. Some of them are cadres and some of them are colleagues. We all agreed that we were in harmony, so we made an appointment to go horse racing together tomorrow.
.
When Eleven Niang heard this, she didn't want her son to go.
Xishan Camp is the personal guard of the emperor. His colleagues are of a higher rank than those in the general command department. He is only four or five years older than brother Jin, so he is probably not a child of an ordinary noble family.
.
Brother Jin hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Eleven Niang's shoulders: Mom, I rode from Yanjing all the way to Jiayuguan, and then from Jiayuguan to Yanjing. It was not very good. What's more, I was horse racing with my friends. The picture is just a person.
It's lively and competitive, which can't help but make people feel bored. Don't worry, I'm just going to join in the fun for everyone. He also said, Dad is afraid that you will worry. He said I can go. I have your permission. Mom, just let me go.
I'll go, otherwise I won't keep my word. If word spreads, who will still be friends with me?
Eleven Niang doesn’t want Brother Jin to get too close to those from Xishan Daying.
Since you are a new friend, you should be more considerate. She said, we will make friends with those who are worth making friends with, and we can just live with those who are not worth making friends with. She also asked, Xie Yan and Wei Xun are going too, don’t be careful.
Brother smiled and said, they don’t know how to ride a horse. However, Wei Xun made an appointment with Xie Yanshi and me to go to his house to enjoy the snow.
Appreciating the snow is better than riding a horse.
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded. She teased her son: You have a lot of social activities.
Of course Brother Jin puffed up his chest. The Ninth Prince also invited me to visit Prince Anhui’s house. I thought he was always too shy and didn’t agree. Prince Anhui is the emperor’s fourth son.
You have met King Anhui. Eleven Niang has never seen him before. When did you see him?
When I went with my father to congratulate the emperor on the first day of the new year... Brother Jin said that he looked very similar to His Royal Highness. However, he did not have the spirit of His Highness and looked two or three years older than His Highness. Mother.
While the two of them were talking, a young boy ran in, "Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Master, there is a young father-in-law looking for you."
Young father-in-law Jin brother was shocked. At this time
The boy nodded: He said he was from Prince Yong's Mansion, and he had sent the Ninth Prince to deliver a message to the Sixth Young Master.
"Mom, I'm going to see Brother Jin," he said, and hurried to the outer courtyard with the boy. After about two sticks of incense, he turned back.
What did the Ninth Prince want to do with you? Eleventh Mother asked before her son could ask.
Brother Jin curled his lips: He asked me to talk to the Queen and invite him and the Eleventh Prince to come and play at home.
What do you say? Eleven Niang said anxiously.
She was worried that Brother Jin's reckless consent to Xu Lingyi's identity was too sensitive, and he invited two young princes to play at home. She didn't know how many people would be thinking about it.
I told the little eunuch, who doesn’t know that my father is famous for following the rules, and he will never do anything that is against the rules. If he knew that I invited the prince to play at home, he would kill me half to death, brother Jin.
The son said, I will go horse racing in Xishan tomorrow, and go to Wei Xun's house to enjoy the snow the day after tomorrow. If they can sneak out, they can come with me. If not, I can't help it...
It is said that you will never do anything that is against the rules. The eleventh mother hugged her son with a smile, praised him well, and then said: The ninth prince and the eleventh prince will not be angry if you say this, I see.
When you go to the palace to see the lanterns, why not explain it in front of them?
Well, brother Jin nodded with a smile and asked Eleven Niang to prepare two Hetianyu toys for him. They both like Hetianyu, and when the time comes, give them to them, and their anger will disappear.
Eleven Niang was in the library looking for a suitable Wadayu toy for Brother Jin, but Brother Jin played happily outside for two days. In the palace, he enjoyed the lanterns, and there were friends he met during the horse racing that day.
We booked a few private rooms in a restaurant facing the East Street and made an appointment with Brother Jin to watch the lanterns on the 15th. On the 17th, the last day of the Spring Festival, Princess Suiping's wife got off the second floor of the Chunxi Building.
The post invites Brother Jin to play. Brother Jin is going like this today. When he goes to that house tomorrow, of course he has to return the invitation. He discussed with Xu Lingyi, borrowed the house in Jinyu Hutong of Shiyiniang, and invited the four famous singers in Yanjing to sing.
There was some kind of Pengying banquet at the meeting, and someone thought of a better idea after hearing this, and he said that he would also go to his villa as a guest in two days, and we came and went. By mid-February, he still didn't stop talking, and
