Chapter 324 Letter
Ling Mansion.
The gatekeeper delivered a letter to the lady.
Since the Ling Mansion fell into decline, it has never received any letters from other mansions.
The lady held back her surprise and opened the letter. She read it at a glance, and her wrinkled face immediately smiled.
She immediately turned to Ling Mao, who was drinking tea with a teacup, and said, "This is a letter from Dingyuan Palace..."
Ling Mao was startled, put down the teacup, took the letter and read it.
It was indeed a letter from Dingyuan Palace.
Ling Mao was surprised. He had never had any contact with Dingyuan Wang, but the other party actually invited him to Chayueju to taste tea.
What surprised him even more was that this letter not only invited him, but also invited his wife and eldest son.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Ling Mao's mind.
Could it be that Dingyuan Wang thought that he was a good official in the past, so he wanted to make friends with him?
Or... the emperor's anger towards him has faded, and he intends to reinstate him, so King Dingyuan is trying to make peace with him privately before the emperor issues an order?
This is not impossible, after all, King Dingyuan began to follow the emperor before he ascended the throne, and the two had fought side by side on the battlefield.
After the emperor ascended the throne, King Dingyuan also became the emperor's confidant and important minister.
King Dingyuan must know what the emperor is thinking.
The more Ling Mao thought about it, the more excited he was.
He finally waited for this day!
He thought he would never have the chance to return to the court in this life, but he didn't expect that God would treat him well.
Although he was happy in his heart, Ling Mao was still able to keep his face steady after all, as he was an official during the New Year.
Although he didn't say anything, his wife had been married to him for many years and could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
The invitation date on the post was today, although both the couple felt it was a bit hasty.
According to etiquette, to invite others to a banquet, you have to send the invitation two or three days in advance.
But the Ling Mansion is different now. The fact that Prince Dingyuan is willing to associate with them is a great thing that they can't ask for. They can't care about such a small matter.
The lady suppressed her dissatisfaction and immediately asked the maid to invite the eldest son over.
Ling Zong had just finished breakfast and was doing nothing. After hearing the maid's message, he rushed over immediately.
After hearing what the lady said, he was surprised, "Prince Dingyuan invited us to taste tea?"
Ling Mao nodded, "Time is tight, let's go now."
After all, they are father and son. Ling Zong thought about it and quickly came to the same idea as Ling Mao.
The emperor probably intended to restore them, so Prince Dingyuan suddenly made friends with them.
Ling Zong was immediately happy in his heart and looked down at himself quickly.
Although he has lost his official status now, he can't be rude.
Fortunately, the clothes he wore today can go out to meet guests.
Ling Mao and his son did not need to change clothes, but the lady asked the maid to help her change from head to toe.
Although the maid rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and gave the lady the best clothes and headdresses.
But looking at the half-new clothes and rough headdresses in the bronze mirror, the lady's face was not very good.
In the past, in the Shangshu Mansion, such clothes and jewelry were not even favored by the third-class maids around her.
However, as long as the emperor is willing to restore her husband, she can still be a lady of the imperial order.
The lady pursed her lips, suppressed the past glory and wealth in her heart, and walked out of the bedroom quickly with the hand of the maid.
The group went straight to Chayueju on Changning Street.
Although this teahouse is not on the Imperial Street, it is just what they want.
After all, before the Ling Mansion is restored, they still have to keep a low profile.
Seeing that her husband had not come back after being called away by his mother-in-law, Dong couldn't help asking the maid.
"Is the master still in the main room?"
Seeing that she looked unhappy, the maid said cautiously, "Madam, I heard that the master went out with the old master and the old lady."
Dong's face darkened. What happened? The three of them went out together without telling her.
At this time, the old woman guarding the door came panting and said in a loud voice, "Madam, this is your letter."
Dong was unhappy. Seeing the old woman shouting so loudly, she wanted to scold her.
But when she saw the familiar handwriting on the post, she was happy. There was no time to scold the old woman. She immediately waved her hand and asked her and the maid to leave.
Dong couldn't wait to open the letter. After just a few glances, she was furious.
That little bitch dared to break Yaoyao's leg.
Looking at the crying word by word in the letter, and the traces that looked like tears dripping on it, Dong's heart was broken.
After reading the letter quickly, Dong hurried out of the house.
Chayueju
Prince Dingyuan carefully put the unconscious princess on the couch, carefully picked up a soft quilt to cover her, and then sat down with Han Lin in the private room.
Prince Dingyuan held a teacup in his hand, a little absent-minded.
The emperor sent him to suppress bandits, and he only came back yesterday.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the mansion, he learned that the princess was unconscious and there was no medicine to cure her.
Prince Dingyuan stayed by the bed all night, thinking about which famous doctors he could ask to come back to treat the princess, but the doorman brought him a letter.
The letter was signed by Qingfeng.
The princess was unconscious, and Prince Dingyuan didn't pay attention to it.
But he felt that this name seemed to have been mentioned by someone before.
Prince Dingyuan frowned, turned his mind around, and quickly remembered.
The emperor once mentioned to him that the unruly prince of the Rui Palace, Xiao Feng, ran away from home.
Ran to Xuanqing Temple to worship Xuanyi Zhenren as his teacher.
Taoist name: Qingfeng.
And Prince Rui is the emperor's uncle.
Looking at the unconscious princess on the bed, King Dingyuan's heart moved.
He quickly picked up the letter beside him and unfolded it.
What surprised King Dingyuan was that Xiao Feng mentioned in the letter that Princess Dingyuan was unconscious. Perhaps he had a way to save her, so he asked King Dingyuan to send her to Chayueju.
King Dingyuan didn't know whether Xiao Feng could save the princess, but the imperial physician and the doctors in the capital were helpless, but as long as there was a chance, he couldn't miss it.
After drinking two sips of tea absent-mindedly, the door of the private room was knocked.
The person who came in was tall and graceful in a white robe, and greeted King Dingyuan with a smile, "Prince, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as majestic and handsome as when you were young.
The prince's figure and appearance are also outstanding, but he is still inferior to your father. It seems that you still need to hone your skills on the battlefield."
Han Lin glanced at Xiao Feng silently and did not refute his words. He naturally knew that he could not compare with his father who fought on the battlefield.
Xiao Feng has been a playboy since he was a child, and he has never been afraid to speak. It seems that even after following Xuanyi Zhenren for many years, his temperament has not changed much.
King Dingyuan was not surprised.
He nodded slightly to Qingfeng, but his eyes fell on the man in black robe behind him, "Lord Ning."
Ning Chuyi bowed in return, "Prince."
King Dingyuan frowned, his eyes turned back and forth between Qingfeng and Ning Chuyi.
Qingfeng acted as if nothing had happened, and pulled Ning Chuyi to sit at the table.
Although he was surprised that Ning Chuyi was here, King Dingyuan did not ask much.
After the waiter served tea, closed the door and left, he said, "Does the prince have a way to heal my princess?"
