"Prince?" Xiao Jiu exclaimed, shocked.

"Well, if nothing else, it should be soon. ”

"Since you say so, you must have done something again, otherwise where did you know that the sage wanted to set up a prince?" Xiao Jiu said thoughtfully: "It's just that the prince is established, isn't the fourth prince only able to rebel?"

Emperor Qiandi did not appoint the crown prince until this time, obviously he had already inspected all his sons before selecting the most suitable one.

The fourth prince must also understand that the establishment of a prince is equivalent to eliminating the possibility of him ascending to the throne normally, so he raised private soldiers early, in order to prevent this possibility.

"Do you really want to be a man who has the ability to pass through the sky, and you can also intervene in the affairs of the prince?" Yan Xi was amused, but there was a bit of rare vanity in his heart.

"If you haven't done anything, how can you know so clearly? Could it be that you are still a roundworm in the stomach of a saint?" Xiao Jiucai didn't believe Yan Xi's words, this person must have done something to make Emperor Qian make up his mind to make up his mind to make a prince so quickly.

However, since he didn't admit it, Xiao Jiu didn't intend to investigate it to the end, so he paused, and said: "Jiangzhou's matter, will the four princes do something inside? Even if the local officials don't explain the situation of the continuous heavy rain in time, after the dam collapsed, so many people were killed and injured, where did they have the courage to hide it?"

Besides, Jiangzhou is not an isolated island, if such a big thing happens, the neighboring states and counties will definitely know about it, but the matter has developed to the extent that the officials are forcing the people to rebel, Xiao Jiu can detect that something is wrong, how can Emperor Qiandi and those courtiers who are like people not know?

"It's hard to say whether it's him or not, but there is no doubt that he wants to profit from this matter. Yan Xi smiled and said: "Don't you want to investigate as a saint? It's just that there are more important things at present, the officials are forcing the people to rebel, and there are so many dead and injured people, and the population that died in Jiangzhou this time is only afraid that it will not be able to recover in a short period of time." ”

"Again, population is important. Although Xiao Jiu didn't know the specific number of deaths, but when he heard Yan Xi say this, he was afraid that Jiangzhou's losses this time were immeasurable.

In particular, Jiangzhou was originally a rich land, after this flood and plague, even if it was bound to be depressed, it was Emperor Qian's tax reduction, but after the plague, where is it so easy to recover its vitality.

"I originally thought that this time, the sage should let me pass, after all, the officials have forced the people to rebel, and it is appropriate for me to go, but I didn't expect the sage to order the three princes to go, so, combined with what the sage said to me before, I know that the sage is planning to establish a prince, and this Jiangzhou incident is the test of the sage to the three princes. ”

Yan Xi didn't expect the turn to come so quickly, he also thought that in the next few years, the saint should not mention the matter of establishing the crown prince.

"Of course, there is also the fact that you are pregnant and about to give birth, I was not in the capital before, and now I have only been off for a year, and there is still a grandmother in the palace, all kinds of coincidences can prompt the saint to make the final decision. ”

Emperor Qian is not an emperor who is easily moved by others, and Yan Xi's words that day were just casually mentioned after Emperor Qiandi had already made a decision.

"It makes sense to say this, the three princes have not been back in Beijing for a long time, and if you really want to talk about it, they haven't done a few convincing things, and they have done a good job in Jiangzhou's case, how to say it is also a great achievement, compared to a few brothers who are always restless and obscene, the three princes are really a clear stream. ”

The third prince's style of acting will make it easier to win the favor of the Qing nobles, which is also a big help.

"Exactly. Yan Xi smiled and took a bite on Xiao Jiu's face, and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law is smart." ”

"It's always been the princess who sells melons and boasts, and I'm embarrassed. Xiao Jiu has a few catties and taels, she knows it in her own heart, no matter how much others praise her, she can't float.

What's more, Yan Xi is still a lover, and he can't do anything.

"You are naturally the best in my eyes. Yan Xi's expression was a little more relaxed, not as severe as when he first came back, and Xiao Jiu was secretly relieved in his heart.

"In more than a month, you will give birth, before you said that you are not in a hurry to find the nurse, at this time, it will be too late if you don't look for it. Yan Xi touched his bulging belly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was soft.

"I don't plan to use a nurse for the child, if there are two I can't feed myself, forget it, now there is only one, I have worked hard to conceive a child born in ten months, how can I let him eat other people's milk?"

Xiao Jiu would rather feed his child goat's milk than find a strange woman to feed his child.

What's more, although she has never been a mother before, she has the experience of raising children, but she is tired at night, and she can afford to breastfeed two or three times, and other things are acceptable.

"I didn't expect you to be so domineering. Yan Xi laughed, obviously just joking, but in his heart, he remembered that when he returned to Beijing for the first time, Xiao Jiu didn't like the existence of the nurse very much.

"That is, they all say that if you have milk, you are a mother, obviously I was born after suffering and suffering, how can I eat a little milk from others, and I have become a mother?

To tell the truth, Xiao Jiu really doesn't understand, just eat a little milk, how can he get involved in love?

People who can't hit a piece of eight poles, just because they eat other people's mother's milk, they become milk brothers, and they have to take care of them all the time, how ironic is this for their own mother?

"It's not that everyone will keep the nurse around, and it's only been two or three years, when the child is weaned and already sensible, and he will give some money. ”

"I know, aren't all my brothers' nurses dismissed? Although not all of them have bad intentions, I still feel that I can rest assured that my children can be fed and taught by themselves. ”

Although Xiao Jiu is not a person who likes children, since she gave birth, she feels that she has to be responsible for raising her, and if she can't become a talent, she must at least grow up physically and mentally healthy, so that she can be considered responsible.

She didn't want her child to be like herself, a little pitiful.

"I'm just worried you're working too hard. Since Xiao Jiu became pregnant, Yan Xi has also learned about these aspects, children less than six months old have to eat milk more than a dozen times a day, if Xiao Jiu feeds himself, it will be too hard.

"It's hard to be pregnant, it's always hard anyway, and I don't care about it, in case he is not filial in the future, I always have a head to teach him a lesson, don't you say?" Xiao Jiu was obviously joking.

Yan Xi couldn't stop laughing, and replied "yes" seriously.
