Ling Chang was thinking about something. Ruyu led a group of people into the yard. Ling Chang stood up and called out respectfully: "Mother Concubine."
Ruyu looked lonely when she saw her son standing in the courtyard. I felt bad in my heart: "Hurry in. It's very cold outside, and you'll catch a cold if the wind blows."
Arrived at the house. Ruyu took out a lavender brocade robe and came over: Come, try it. If something is not good, the mother-in-law will take advantage of these two days to correct it. "
Lingcheng looked at the purple brocade robe in Ru Yu's hand. There were complicated python patterns on the brocade robe. The cuffs, collar and hem are decorated with gold threads with dark patterns. The buttons on the clothes are all ink-colored buttons made of jade of the same size. The clothes are extremely luxurious.
Baozhu beside him said as if he was offering a treasure: "Your Highness, this is the dress that the empress has spent a lot of effort on making for Your Highness. Your Highness, try it quickly." Baozhu was not dismissed by the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess transferred Bao Yun back to her. . The queen is not here, and no one can suppress her. In the past, I always carried Baozhu with me for trivial matters, and Baoyun for important matters.
Lingcheng heard that Ruyu had made this dress for him personally. There was finally a smile on her face: "Mother, your clothes are very beautiful." In the princess's mansion, Wen Wan would not choose bright colors for her children, but would prefer plain colors. This is also Wen Wan's preference. Wen Wan believes that boys do not need to dress so fancy. Therefore, the colors chosen for children tend to be elegant. Mingrui was influenced by Wen Wan and liked black and cyan very much. Mingjin prefers bright clothes, but Wenwan doesn't like to see him dressed in bright reds and purples. The most colorful colors of Mingjin's clothes nowadays are only purple and sapphire blue. Mingjin couldn't twist his thigh with his arms, so he had to succumb to Wen Wan's high pressure.
When Ling Chang wears it on her body, it looks a little short. But children grow up quickly, and this dress was made during the Chinese New Year. But despite this, Lingcheng was still very happy. I remember that my mother-in-law made a robe for my brother with her own hands. He was still greedy for a long time. I didn't expect him to have one too.
This time back to the Princess¡¯s Mansion, Lingcheng specially wore this dress to go back to the Princess¡¯s Mansion. Mingrui and Mingjin couldn't help but laugh when they saw Ling Chang, who was wearing a lavender brocade robe with a turquoise and gold pendant hanging around his waist, looking like a wealthy young man.
Mingrui was calm, but Mingjin rushed to make trouble.
Ling Chang waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't come over here. These are the clothes my mother and concubine made for me. Don't let me ruin them." Mingjin, this little guy, is really naughty! When I first came here, I scratched him every day. At that time, Wen Wan told him that she wanted him to get involved with Mingrui and Mingjin. If she interferes, it will be difficult for them to get along well with each other. Later, I got used to being teased by Mingjin and gained experience, and I was able to resist, but unfortunately I was always at a disadvantage. However, the relationship is getting better and better during the struggle.
Lingchen doesn¡¯t know yet. This is because he was already familiar with Mingrui and Mingjin before. If a stranger comes in, it's not a prank.
Seeing such beautiful clothes, Mingjin was very envious: "Mom hasn't made clothes for us yet! I haven't even worn clothes made by mom." He didn't say he didn't know, but there was a gap when he said it.
Mingrui glanced at Mingjin. He said expressionlessly: "You haven't seen that my mother is very busy, so you still want her to make clothes for you? Do you think that your mother is tired and sick?" According to Mingrui's guess, his mother probably doesn't know how to make clothes, and the evidence is clear. Rui has never seen Wenwan doing needlework. Mingrui didn't care about this. What the embroiderer in the embroidery room did was no different from what his mother did. Mom has time to make clothes, so she might as well spend more time with them!
Mingjin quickly shook his head: "That's not good. I want my mother to be well." It's better not to let her get sick. My mother caught a cold last time. They were not allowed to get close. For three days, they could only watch from a distance and could not get closer. How sad he was at that time!
Mingrui saw Ling Yang¡¯s happy expression and was not prepared to attack him. But he listened to Mingjin¡¯s words. Looking at Lingcheng's clothes again, her mind took a few twists and turns, and she said with a smile: "Lingcheng, how good is your mother's embroidery skill? She can actually embroider such complicated patterns. She is better than the embroiderers in our house. I don¡¯t know how much higher it was.¡± The words were full of sarcasm. If the princess had embroidered this dress herself, Bai Mingrui would have taken off the head and kicked it as a ball.
Mingjin is a clever guy, and when he heard Mingrui¡¯s sarcastic tone, he was very smart. He said in surprise: "Brother, you are saying that Brother Lingcheng is lying to us. This dress was not made by my aunt? Then why did my aunt say that it was made by her own hands?" The two children have known Lingcheng for more than three years, and they know Ling Chang is an honest person. I won't lie to them with such lies. Therefore, it could only be the Crown Princess who lied.
Lingting blushed and said, "Nonsense, my mother-in-law said she made it herself." The maid next to Ru Yu said that the prince made this dress, and Ru Yu didn't refute it at that time. So Ling Chang never thought that this dress was made by someone else.
Mingrui said funnyly: "You are saying that I lied to you." Seeing that Lingchen remained silent, Mingrui turned around and asked the boy next to him to find the embroidery girl in the embroidery room: "I don't agree with this.??, but I'm sure that such complicated patterns and colors are not something ordinary people can embroider. If you don't believe it. Just listen to what the embroiderer said. "Actually, you don't need to ask the embroiderer. Mingrui can be sure. You must know that embroidery is like martial arts. It requires a solid foundation day by day. Therefore, it takes more than ten or two years to make such a skillful embroidery. The complicated patterns were made. Moreover, the python pattern on this robe would not take more than a month or two to complete. The princess is such a busy person and has so many things to take care of. Time to make this robe.
Mingjin has always been convinced by Mingrui, even though he stopped talking. But there is a wicked smile on the corner of the mouth, and this action is very obvious, as if to say that these clothes are not made by your mother-in-law at all. Your mother-in-law is lying and lying to you.
Lingting is now eight years old. In the past few years, under Wen Wan's careful guidance, he has become much calmer than other children of the same age. But after all, he was only eight years old. Seeing Mingrui and Mingjin making such blatant sarcasm, he still felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart. He knew Mingrui's character well. If he didn't speak, he would get the idea right when he spoke. Now that Mingrui has spoken, there is a high chance that this dress was not made by the mother-in-law.
Lingcheng finally said: "I'm a little tired, let's go back to the house first." After returning, he changed out of his clothes. Ling Chang looked at the clothes in a daze. Only he knows what exactly is going on in his heart.
Wen Wan saw Ling Chang was in a low mood and asked why. It was not easy for her to reprimand Mingrui, because the maid serving below also said that this dress was definitely not made by the Crown Princess. Wen Wan complained in her heart that Ru Yu had been neglecting her children in the past. Now I took a piece of clothing and said it was specially made for him. Regardless of whether it was a slip of the tongue or not, this made the child happy in vain, but it was also a different kind of harm to the child. I don¡¯t know how her mother did it. Or just focus on giving birth and not raising children. Wen Wan thought about this and muttered in her heart, yes, anyway, there will be someone to take care of her after giving birth, and someone to teach her when she reaches the age. This is a cheating era. Thinking only of many lives. Only if you have more sons can you gain a firm foothold, but no matter the quality. Generally, when there are many sons, the eldest one has to bear the responsibility of the family business, the younger one is placed in the palm of the hand, and the middle one is left behind (by the way, this is a phenomenon that exists in every dynasty, right).
Wen Wan looked at Ling Chang and sighed slightly. Seven-year-old children are very sensitive. In addition, although Lingchen gets along well with Mingrui and Mingjin, he has completely integrated into Mingrui and Mingjin. It's like there is a wall, there is always a barrier. But this barrier cannot be broken by gentleness. Mingrui and Mingjin are twin brothers from the same mother. Not only that, Mingrui and Mingjin are always together when they open their eyes. The two brothers have not been separated in the past six years. The relationship is extremely deep, and even though Mingjin always tells Mingrui, if Wenwan really wants to punish Mingrui harshly (a small punishment to Mingjin is just for fun), Mingjin will be the first to refuse.
Just when Wen Wan was about to appease Ling Chang, Xia Yao came over and said, "Princess, Shopkeeper Ni is still waiting for you outside. Go over and take a look!"
Wen Wan was a little surprised. Shopkeepers Ni and Qian usually came every other day. I just came here yesterday, why are you here again today? Wen Wan responded quickly. Xia Yao had never gone out at all and was always by her side. How would she know if anyone was coming? He probably had something to say: "You go and practice your calligraphy first. The master will be here in two days. If the master thinks your calligraphy is not good-looking and will disgrace your mother, I will punish you properly."
Mingrui went out first. Mingjin followed. Ling Chang followed at the end.
Wen Wan returned to the study and asked Xia Yao, "What's wrong? Why do you have to make up such a reason?"
Xia Yao said: "I looked at the princess because I wanted to get rid of Lingcheng, so I interrupted the princess. Princess, this matter is a matter of the East Palace, you can't get involved. Even if you get involved now, princess, Think about the future, can you have a hand in the future? If not, let Ling Chang feel it himself. Maybe it will be less uncomfortable in the future."
Wen Wan was stunned, she really didn't think so long term. Although she also knows. If Ling Chang can be taught, he will really be a trump card in the future. But it was just a little selfish at first. When the children were around, she taught them with all her heart, and she really didn't think too much about them.
Xia Yao's words were very low: "Princess, Ling Chang will have a very difficult road in the future. But as long as he can go through these difficulties and overcome those hurdles, he will be a great person in the future. Princess, emperor He doesn't need friends, he only needs ministers. Therefore, it is right for you to let Mingrui and Mingjin have a harmonious relationship with him and become good friends. The emperor does not have close brothers, and he does not need close brothers. It's better to be polite." Ling Chang is not close to the princess, but it is best for the princess.
Wen Wan paused for a moment: "The child is still young, and you are thinking too long-term. The emperor's uncle is in good health and will have no problem living for another twenty or thirty years. I promised the emperor's uncle that I will spend ten years teaching Lingtan. Ten After years, I will hand it over to the emperor's uncle. "Wen Wan just wants to be responsible for teaching him everything he can. I really didn't think about itHe became a loner.
Xia Yao's words were very sharp: "When he was pushed out by the crown prince and the crown princess, his fate was already determined. Ling Hang, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent." If Ling Hang doesn't come to power, there is only one way waiting for Ling Hang, a dead end.
There is no need to talk about other people taking the throne. Even if Ling Yuan takes the throne and becomes the emperor, there is absolutely no room for Ling Yu. Wen Wan can peacefully coexist with the emperor and his ministers, not only because the emperor is crazy-minded (Wen Wan sweats: it seems that many people say that the emperor is narrow-minded and will retaliate), but also because Wen Wan has the right time, place and people, plus Wen Wan risked her life to save the emperor. Only through love can the emperor trust him wholeheartedly. It is also because of this that Wen Wancai, who has the talent to enrich the country, can still enjoy the honor safely and safely when she marries a general with a large army. But it¡¯s impossible for Ling Chang. As far as Xia Yao knew about Ling Yuan, the child liked to show off his cleverness since he was a child. You think a person who likes to play small conspiracies can expect him to be a broad-minded and kind-hearted person. The Crown Princess has obviously given all her expectations to Ling Chang. When the relationship between mother and son comes to an end, not only will it be difficult for brothers to coexist peacefully, but the relationship between mother and son will also not be harmonious. However, in the face of power, the love between mother and son, and brotherhood are all empty.
Xia Yao shook her head and said: "I know that the princess is reluctant to let go. But this is Ling Chang's fate. When the princess pushed him out, he was already destined to be on this road. He has no way out, he can only advance but not retreat. If the princess is really good for Lingchen, she should not interfere in these matters and let him figure it out. Slowly, Lingchen will get used to it. "Lingchen will face a man full of deceit, calculation and intrigue. world.
Wen Wan pursed her lips, but in the end she didn't say a word. But looking for an opportunity, Wen Wan spoke to Mingrui: "Silly boy, since Ling Chang is happy, you should make him happy. Why do you want to make him feel uncomfortable!" Wen Wan wanted to know why Mingrui would deliberately expose this lie. . Mingrui is not a small-minded person.
Mingrui hummed: "Mom, I'm jealous. Mom didn't make clothes for me and my brother! When I heard him showing off there (Ling Chang was wronged, I didn't show off, okay), I exposed it."
Wen Wan knew that what Mingrui said was not the real reason: "Don't be careless with me, tell me what you really think."
Mingrui thought for a while and then said: "Mom, I don't have any real thoughts. I just saw Ling Chang happy and made me jealous, so I told him the truth. Mom, my brother and I have never worn clothes made by my mother when we have grown up. "The real reason cannot be said.
Wenwan didn¡¯t say anything when she saw him, nor did she force him. However, she has never made any clothes for her child when she grows up: "It turns out that my baby can be so narrow-minded sometimes! It's not possible to ask mother to make you coats. But mother can make you some inner clothes." Clothing is very simple, just let people cut the clothes. She just put in a few stitches and it was done very quickly and without much effort.
Mingrui also knew there was something fishy about it, but he smiled and said, "Okay." Although he thought it didn't matter whether he was wearing clothes made by his mother. As long as my mother treats them sincerely and loves them, that's enough. Everything else is false. But the excuse has been given and my mother is willing to do it, so he won't refuse.
