Rebirth is back for you

I haven't returned home for ten years, and it's rare to see the Deqin Palace so close.

As soon as he turned the last street corner, he saw Jing Huai, the old housekeeper of the Deqin Prince's Mansion from a distance, leading almost all the people in the mansion to wait at the door.

"..." This momentum was huge and a little scary.

Fortunately, the Deqin Palace is located in a secluded and single-family side street.

Seeing his figure appear, Jing Huai couldn't hide his excitement and ordered a servant beside him: "Go and report to the old prince, the son has arrived at the gate of the mansion!"

Seeing this, Jing Ran's heart warmed up, and he urged the horse to speed up.Jing Huai is an old man from the Deqin Palace. When he was young, he was rescued by the old Deqin prince on the marching road. Since then, he has been with him and taught him like a son-in-law.In the following decades, he served as a housekeeper in the Deqin Prince's Mansion, hardworking and loyal.When she was a child, she also loved her very much, and she was a rare person who knew her identity.

Before dismounting from his horse, Jing Huai hurried down the steps, leading the crowd to kneel down and salute: "Your servant/servant welcomes your son back home."

In ancient times, men had many wives and concubines, but the successors of the Deqin Palace were extremely dedicated. Whether it was the old Deqin prince or the deceased Deqin prince, they only married one official wife.Therefore, apart from the old prince Deqin, the rest of the mansion is old people like Jing Huai and some young servants and maids.

Jing Ran got off the horse, took two quick steps to help Jing Huai up, and said in a brisk tone, "Uncle Huai, don't be too polite, I was grown up under your watch, this kind of politeness will overwhelm me."

Then he raised his eyes and glanced at the people who were lying on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Get up and go down."

"Hey, hey!" Jing Huai straightened up, stretched out his hand to gesticulate on himself, and said with emotion: "Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. I think you were only this tall when you first left, but now you are so tall." It’s much better to be an old slave.” He said with some sadness: “Our Deqin Prince’s Mansion is dying, and the old prince has been supporting him all these years. Now that your son is back, the old prince will come back again. We are not alone anymore, we all have a backbone.”

Jing Ran's heart moved slightly, he closed his eyes lightly, raised his eyes and said, "It's cold outside, let's go into the house."

"Yes, yes! Look at this old slave's memory. When he was happy, he pulled Shi Zichu at the door and said there are so many things. Come in, come in!" Going to the door, he said solemnly as he walked: "The emperor's [-]th birthday will be in half a month. The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for it since years ago. All countries have sent royal children to lead envoys to celebrate the new year on behalf of the emperor. The old prince and Gan The country of Qiu has a long history, and His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager of Ganqiu came to visit the mansion today, but the old prince couldn't get away, so he sent an old slave to welcome the prince at the door."

Jing Ran paused, then turned around and asked, "Ganqiu's empress dowager has come to the mansion? Jiang Boxi?"

"Yes, yes, it's Prince Xi. The eldest princess of Wuli Kingdom also came to Qingyue this time, and the three specialties in the world are going to gather together this time." Jing Huai led Jing Ran through the long corridor, Go to Zhilan Garden.

Jing Ran lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look around, and asked in surprise, "Grandfather is receiving Prince Jiang at Zhilan Garden?"

Ordinary meetings with people should be arranged in the living room, but Zhilan Court is the sleeping hall of the old prince of Deqin in his daily life, a place like the sleeping hall, unless it is a very close person, ordinary people can't and it's not easy to step into it at will.

"Oh, that's right. The heavy snow this winter has not been seen in many years, and it is coming fiercely. The old prince is getting old. These days, he is a little bit unbearable. He has been infected with a little wind and cold, and has been recuperating in bed." Jing Huai thought for a while, He opened his mouth and explained: "Furthermore, when Prince Jiang came to visit today, he didn't pay homage in advance, and he didn't know where he learned that the old prince was sick and bedridden. He didn't say anything, but waved his hands to make all the servants who were serving him retreat."

Jing Huai paused at this point, and added: "It's strange to say that this Prince Xi seems to be very familiar with the layout of the palace, and he turned straight to the old prince's bedroom without anyone leading the way."

Jing Ran's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer. Jing Huai seemed to think of something, and he didn't speak again.

The houses of rich and noble families in ancient times generally occupied an extremely large area. The first floor was five steps, one pavilion was ten steps, the corridors were unadorned, and the eaves and teeth were pecking. many.

Jing Ran took off her cloak at the entrance of the hall and handed it to the maid guarding the entrance. She brushed her cuffs and hem before walking in.As soon as he passed through the partition wall, he heard the slightly hoarse voice of the old prince Deqin coming from the house, and suppressed a low cough: "But the brat is back?"

Jing Ran's brows were frivolous, and her pace quickened a little.Looking past the burning stove in the middle of the room and the warm-colored screen, he saw the old prince Deqin who was half leaning against the head of the bed and covered with a thick brocade quilt.

Not far from the bed was placed a fox fur rug by the window, on which sat Jiang Baixi, the Crown Princess of Ganqiu, dressed in a bright yellow prince's attire.Seeing Jing Ran coming in, he didn't get up, but held the teacup in one hand, and met her gaze with an unexplained raised eyebrow.

Jing Ran's eyes flicked across her body, first he went to the window and pushed it open for air, and then carefully observed the expression of the old prince Deqin.Seeing that his face was only a little pale and there were cracks on the corners of his lips, he felt relieved that it was indeed a symptom of a cold.

Then he turned to Jiang Baixi's direction and said gently: "I've heard that Prince Xi is famous for a long time, and I can see you today, but the reception of Prince Deqin is not good enough."

"Jing Shizi is absurd, the crown prince's fame has only been spread in the past two years, not for a long time." Jiang Baixi replied seriously, and then said in a brisk tone: "But today I am the one who bothers me a lot. , thinking that the old prince is sick, I couldn't help but come to visit, how dare I let the prince and the prince entertain me." He raised his head, his peach blossom eyes flashed, without the slightest majesty of a prince of a country, on the contrary, he showed wanton publicity bright.

Jing Ran: "..."

He is undoubtedly the prince of a country. This casual self-confidence and eloquence may be able to compete with the stinky old man.

"Sit down and talk." Old Prince Deqin ordered with his clear eyes sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

Both of them nodded, Jiang Baixi sat back on the soft couch on the left side of the bed, and Jing Ran sat on a chair on the right side.

"I heard that Jing Shizi was weak since he was a child, so he went out of the house to recuperate for ten years. Is he feeling better now?" Jiang Baixi flicked his sleeves, took a sip from his teacup, and asked Jing Ran first.

"Naturally ill, it's hard to get rid of the root cause. But in recent years, he has improved a lot after practicing martial arts, and Prince Lao Xi cares about it." Jing Ran responded with a slight smile, and glanced at the old prince Deqin out of the corner of his eye.

Her status is quite inconvenient. Although she has declared to the outside world that she has a chronic disease since she was a child, she never thought that it has already been heard by the famous Crown Prince Ganqiu.

Jiang Baixi turned his smiling eyes on Jing Ran, and raised his crisp voice: "This time, the prince came to Qingyue to celebrate his birthday, and he brought a lot of rare medicinal materials that I can only produce in Ganqiu. Mr. The prince has a lot of connections with my Ganqiu royal family. I came to the palace to visit the sick today, so I brought some of everything. The prince will go down and have a look. If there is anything useful, I will send someone to the post where I stayed. Take whatever you want, don't be shy."

Jing Ran raised his eyebrows again, such a prince of one country is so enthusiastic about important ministers of another country, how deep is this old man's connection with Ganqiu's royal family?

"Naturally, you will not be polite. Prince Xi is so enthusiastic that he must have a good relationship with Grandpa." Jing Ran turned his head again, and his eyes fell on the old prince Deqin.

The old prince Deqin caught her gaze, put his fist on his mouth and gave a low cough, waved his hand and said: "You young people should be able to chat together and always watch what my old man does.

Jing Ran: "..."

Jiang Boxi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, his long curly eyelashes flickered, he stood up and caressed the non-existing folds of his clothes, and said casually: "I have seen that the old prince is not in any serious trouble, the prince can rest assured , I've been bothering you for a long time so I won't talk any more, so Bai Xi will take his leave, the prince and Jing Shizi please stay and don't send them off."

After finishing the words, he lifted his feet and walked out of the house. Jing Ran took a meaningful look at the old prince Deqin, got up and followed out.

The person who said that there is no need to send it off, but stood motionless at the gate of Zhilanyuan after leaving the palace gate, as if he was specially waiting for Jing Ran to send it off.

Jing Ran: "..."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Baixi curled his lips and turned his head to look Jing Ran up and down, saying, "It's windy and cold outside, I see Jing Shizi's body is as delicate and frail as a jade figure carved from ice, so I don't need to be too polite. If something goes wrong, Bai Xi may not be able to afford it."

Jing Ran: "..." Is this unscrupulous woman really the crown prince of a country?

"Prince Xi was joking. Ice jade figures are not afraid of the cold in winter, so I will send His Royal Highness to the gate of the mansion." Jing Ran raised his sleeves with a straight face, and walked outside first, and then added after a pause: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a distinguished status and is my distinguished guest of Qingyue. If you accidentally get lost in this Deqin Prince's Mansion and something minor happens, Jing Ran really can't afford it."

The corners of Jiang Boxi's raised mouth froze, and then his joyful eyes deepened a little, and he didn't speak, and followed his steps neatly in exquisite deerskin boots.

Jing Ran glanced at the back slightly, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

The two were silent all the way, and when they reached the gate of the mansion, the people brought by Jiang Baixi had already pulled the carriage and waited in front of the gate.

Jing Ran's eyes lightly fell on the colorful horse body and the colorful car wall, and seeing Jiang Baixi suddenly turned around, he raised his voice and asked, "I heard Jing Shizi is the disciple of the Taoist Master Wuhui?"

Jing Ran pursed her lips: "Yes."

"Very good." Jiang Baixi folded his palms together, and a smile spread across his face: "The Taoist priest of Wuhui is famous all over the world, but now there is only Jing Shizi, a closed disciple. Presumably Jing Shizi will live up to his reputation, Bai Xi will come to Jing Shizi for advice in another day. One or two."

After the words fell, she got into the carriage without waiting for Jing Ran's reply: "Farewell!"

The accompanying guards saluted Jingran, then drove the carriage, and slowly left the Deqin Palace.
