I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 3

Xu Lianlang ran a few steps away, stood on tiptoes and tried to look up, his sharp chin pressed down on the quilt, so that he could see more clearly.

Bundled thatch is piled on the tall and sharp ridge, and the broken tiles are attached to the eaves, which will not fall.

Lu Jieming held onto the ridge of the roof with one hand, and slowly bent down to clean up the tiles.

Compared with his peers, he is taller, but when he squats up, he is still small.

The wide white robe was blowing in the wind, and it bulged a lot, he didn't care about it, and quickened the movements in his hands.

He first cleaned up the half-broken tiles, and then covered the roof with thatch.

The movement is proficient, it should have been done many times.

He picked up the corner of the tile with his fingers, and there was still a childish dimple on the back of his hand. His short, round, milky hands were rushing to do the work that adults do.

The rain was still wet, and the roof tiles were slippery. He staggered suddenly, and his left ankle turned sideways. He had quick eyesight and quick hands, but he squatted down and knelt down to barely stabilize his figure.

Xu Lianlang was terrified when he saw it, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

But he was already stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything to persuade him to come down as soon as possible.

Naturally, this is not the first time the Seventh Prince has done this, and of course it may not be the last.

No one knows exactly what wrong Concubine Rong did, who pretended to leave the palace to recuperate. No one can pry into the royal secret.

But those fathers-in-law and mothers are all good people, they can't see the attitude of the palace, and those who don't have the slightest attachment to flattery value will naturally not receive generous care.

Even for such an urgent task as repairing the roof, she had to pay some money to flatter her before Nanny Chen readily agreed.

If the seventh prince doesn't do this, he won't be able to sleep tonight.

He is still so young, where did he find this pile of dry thatch, and how did he carry it on his back?

Xu Lianlang couldn't imagine,

What can a child do?

But there are not only so many ways for children.

Either way, it shouldn't be something a ten-year-old child should bear.

Xu Lianlang stood under the eaves, watching his every movement nervously, her arms were sore and numb under the quilt in her arms.

She didn't dare to disturb him, let alone stop him at this time.

When Lu Jieming came down from the roof, he immediately saw Xu Lianlang standing opposite him.

He frowned, looked away from the three quilts in her arms, turned his ankles, and walked straight away from her.

What happened last night was still vivid in his memory, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. In the past two years in the Rehe Palace, he has long been used to showing that he is not afraid of anything in front of people, and he does not dodge anything.

Ten-year-old boys don't care about face that much, but ten-year-old Lu Jieming wants to put on the face of the so-called prince.Although he has long hated this identity and this background, in the Rehe Palace, it is the only life-saving talisman he can hold on to.

No matter how bad he was, no matter how much he was rejected by his biological father, the blood of the royal family still bleeds on his body.

He had to hold on, to look like a prince should be.

He is young, and his mother and concubine look like that, if he is really babbling like a child of his age and can't take care of things, then in the past two years, he would have been gnawed to the bone.

He is a child who grew up in the deep palace, grew up under persecution, and survived being framed,

Suddenly showing timidity, still in front of this new maid, made him at a loss for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lianlang could stop him with a few strides.

The 16-year-old girl is tall and tall, and Lu Jieming can only reach her shoulders.

With the advantage of height, Xu Lianlang can easily look down on him.

This was the first time that she was able to take a closer look at the Seventh Prince's facial features in a well-lit place.

She had seen him five years ago, when he was still a chubby milk dumpling, and the appearance in her memory was so blurred that it was difficult to focus on the specific facial features, but she still clearly remembered the gift that the Seventh Prince gave her back then. Shocked.

Now, five years have passed, and the milk dumpling has turned into a little boy. The corners of the jaw have not yet formed sharp edges and corners, and the facial features are still tightly squeezed on one face. The lining is round.

A ten-year-old boy is in the most embarrassing period of his appearance, but he still has an amazing appearance as always.

Xu Lianlang's eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know where to settle for a moment.

The most eye-catching thing is the tall and straight nose.

For a ten-year-old boy, his nose has grown into a surprising curvature.From the root of the mountain to the wing of the nose, it is tall and upturned, growing on that still green and immature face, all of a sudden, the childishness of the child is high, adding a little coldness that strangers should not get close to.

He didn't follow Pin Rong's peach blossom eyes, instead he had a pair of phoenix eyes, the proud eyes were narrow and long, with a bearing.

At this time, the eyes fell on the front, and the black pupils scattered a little bit of light against the sun, and the eyes were shining brightly, looking at her with faint impatience.

Children's anger is the most undisguised and straightforward.

However, the Seventh Prince's emotions were completely contained in his eyes, and his expression was extremely pale.

Xu Lianlang lifted the quilt up, trying to make his tone more relaxed, "Your Highness, this servant has already found the steward, Madam Chen, and after noon today, someone will come to repair the roof, and I will leave these matters to my servant in the future." gone."

Lu Jieming kept his head down all the time, after hearing what she said, he slowly raised his head to look at her, and his eyes finally focused on her.

The robe on his body didn't fit very well, I don't know where he found it, his hands and feet grew a lot, he stood upright, and the robe completely covered him inside.

There is a younger brother in Xu Lianlang's family. The younger brother is about the same age as His Highness the Seventh Highness. She is familiar with how to get along with children. She lowered her body and tried to look at His Highness the Seventh Highness.

Children don't like being treated like children the most, so she said: "Your Highness is amazing, you can repair the roof yourself! This servant is so much older than you, let alone repairing the roof, your calves will shake just by touching it."

The way she hugged the three quilts and insisted on lowering her body was very funny, so much so that her words carried a bit of solicitude.

Such hospitality made Lu Jieming tighten his lips.

He paused for a while, his black and white pupils swirled in his eye sockets, after a long time, he turned his face sideways, and pulled out a long and dense eyelashes.

He walked away from her without saying a word.

Xu Lianlang froze on the spot, only to hear the wooden door of the side hall being pulled open with a "Come on", and then being tightly closed again with a "Clause".

In the evening, the eunuch sent by Nanny Chen to repair the roof came slowly.

Xu Lianlang sighed secretly, he came so late, I don't know if it can be repaired today.

The little eunuchs were sluggish, and they were busy with their work. Xu Lianlang stood under the eaves and stared at them.

The eunuchs curled their lips and whispered to each other. It felt uncomfortable to be stared at and urged to work, so they could only complain, "Look, there is another one who is even better at pretending."

"It's a pity... I can't see the situation clearly. I really thought Concubine Rong could go back to the palace. It's not right to hug her thigh."

"However, it looks good."

"Don't think about it, take care of your stuff, you forgot what happened to the people who served in Shuoyun Pavilion!"

Someone shrank his neck and touched the goose bumps on his arms.

"You said you're out of your league. The palace servants who went out from the Tower of Clouds are either dead or disabled. Anyway, there is no good end. I see, this place is unknown."

"That's right, she's gone crazy if she didn't see Concubine Rong!"

"Crying and crying all day, sitting all day, like a paper prick, no matter how beautiful it is, it's disgusting."

A group of eunuchs spoke sharply and without concealment, Xu Lianlang could hear them clearly.

Out of the corner of her eye, seeing Lu Jieming who came in suddenly with a basket of firewood on his back in the corridor, she couldn't help shouting a few times, hoping her voice could overwhelm the eunuch's words.

"Elder-in-law, if you don't dare to work faster, you will be drenched when the rain comes."

"If the thunder strikes, strike at a higher place first."

There are dark clouds in the sky again, and they are getting heavier and heavier, and they are about to be suppressed. It seems that there will be rain tonight.

She yelled twice in succession, and only stopped when Lu Jieming turned and entered the main hall.

The eunuchs were still working slowly, Xu Lianlang saw them remove the thatch that Lu Jieming had worked so hard for, and then kicked it away.

The thatch scattered and fell from the ridge of the roof to the ground.

The more I looked at it, the more uncomfortable I felt, so I simply went to the main hall.

The sky was overcast, and there were no candles lit in the main hall, so it was gloomy.

Concubine Rong was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a blue blouse covering her body, which made the face with peach eyes and beautiful nose look lifeless.

Her body is a kind of whiteness that is rarely seen in the sun, and the lines of her wrists exposed from the sleeves are weak, and upon closer inspection, there is even a slight trembling.

In fact, what the eunuchs said is true, Concubine Rong really has some mental problems.

Her gaze was unfocused, there was nothing in her pupils, it was terrifyingly empty.

She quietly pushed open the door, her movements were as gentle as possible, but until she walked in front of Rong Bin, Rong Bin's pupils did not change the slightest.

She knelt down, raised her head and asked, "Madam, it's time for dinner."

Concubine Rong seemed to be taken aback, she retracted her fingertips that were hanging on her knees, and suddenly, her beautiful eyes blinked, the eyelids like butterfly feathers fell on the eyelids, and two tears fell out.

Xu Lianlang was at a loss, her hand holding the handkerchief was stuck in the air, she heard Concubine Rong sobbing, "Your Majesty, you really don't want me anymore?"

Concubine Rong looked past Xu Lianlang and looked in the direction behind her.

Concubine Rong half raised her hand, stretched out her hand in that direction, and rolled over from the bed.

Xu Lianlang hurried to help, but Concubine Rong suddenly burst into tears, crying and screaming, "Your Majesty, the concubine was framed! You said that you will trust and protect the concubine!"

"You can't break your trust with your concubine."

"You said that this concubine is your wife..." Her upper body was lying on Xu Lianlang's body, her hair was in a mess, her eyes were red, she looked like a ghost.

"How could you do this to me!"

"Jieming is only eight years old, how can you bear it! How can you be so cruel that you don't even want him!"

"He is your son!"

Weeping and crying, talking about the man's promise to her, and also talking about the man's ruthless abandonment.

Xu Lianlang couldn't comfort her well, only to see that her left hand was raised high all the time, in a gesture of retaining hope.

The pose is persistent, facing one direction.

Xu Lianlang was stunned for a while, feeling something in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Jieming in the shadow of the vermilion pillars in the hall.

The direction Rong Pin extended his hand towards was where he was standing.
