Chapter 399: Staying Away from Right and Wrong (2)
In Ci'an Palace, the old face of the Empress Dowager smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Xiao Fuxing completely inherited the cheekiness of her parents, and she didn't know what it was to be reserved and polite, so she sat in the arms of the most noble woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty with a big grin, and from time to time a sentence or two popped out of her mouth that only she could understand, making everyone present laugh.
As Emperor Yongtai described, she is less than a year old and indeed looks like a snow ball.
The skin is amazingly white and delicate, the facial features are quite similar to the little princess of lentils, although a pair of long eyebrows are not as dense as Huo Xiaowangye, but compared to Doudou's pair of willow leaf curved eyebrows, it looks much more heroic, and of course there is a lot less softness.
Doudou is very satisfied with this, the Jiangmen Tiger Girl does not need to be weak and gentle, and being heroic is the temperament that she and Huo Xiao's daughter should have.
What she likes more is the brilliance in Xiao Fuxing's eyes, which are as bright and dazzling as her father, both beautiful and radiant.
Yuan Xiang also took Yuwen Xiaoer to Ci'an Palace today, and after throwing her son to Jiang Guifei, she sat down beside Doudou, leaned over and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, your little lucky star is really cute." ”
Doudou glanced at her and said, "Don't let Cheng'er and Xiaoer hear what you say, you are such a mother!" ”
Yuan Xiang said disapprerovingly: "Where are boys so careful, they all clamoring to like their sister!" ”
Doudou sneered: "I like to be born by myself!" ”
Yuan Xiang secretly twisted her: "I heard that you and your brother-in-law are going to the Great Northwest?" ”
Doudou didn't hide it, and said: "Grandfather is old, Huo Xiao will go to the northwest sooner or later, but I don't know when the emperor's uncle will allow it." ”
Yuan Xiang lowered his voice and said: "It's still good to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk half a step out of the capital in my life." ”
Doudou also said in a low voice: "Could it be that you really want to make a prince?" ”
Yuan Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, it's been almost a year since this matter was made, and I don't have a letter to ......"
She looked at the people around her, and although all of them were not on their sisters, this was a palace after all, and it was not a good place to talk.
I had to say: "Forget it, let's talk about it in private." ”
Doudou shook her hand and turned her gaze to her daughter again.
Xiao Fuxing, who was fighting with Yuwen Xiaoer, saw that her mother finally accepted her, and she cried with a wow.
Yuwen Xiaoer, who lost the fight, heard her crying, and was even more aggrieved and howled loudly.
It's really unreasonable, the person who won the pinch is actually embarrassed to sue the wicked first!
The two sisters of the Yuan family hurriedly went over and took the children into their arms one by one and coaxed them.
"Mother...... Mother...... Bad...... Bad ...... "Xiao Fuxing is still young after all, and he will only jump out word by word when he speaks."
Yuwen Xiaoer is three months older, but he doesn't speak much better than Xiao Fuxing, and he pounced into his mother's arms with a little yellow hair, and howled: "Mother, Huhu ......"
The two sisters couldn't laugh or cry.
Jiang Guifei smiled: "These cousins and sisters...... In March, Gu Ge was old and old, and the two of them were very affectionate at first, and then somehow the second child pinched Xiao Fuxing, his grandmother was saying that his brother was not happy to bully his sister, but he was caught by Xiao Fuxing, and he cried together, and he is still the same today. ”
The Empress Dowager also smiled: "Not everyone in the world grew up like this, and places with children are lively, which makes people like it just by looking at it." ”
There was another burst of flattery from everyone.
The children were young, and after a few words of coaxing, they stopped crying and soon fell asleep in their respective mothers' arms.
The Empress Dowager was also tired, so she didn't do much to keep them, and let people send them out of Ci'an Palace.
Leaving the capital this time, Huo Xiao and Doudou couldn't tell how long it would take for them to come back, and the preparations were more adequate than any other time.
There are subordinates who pack their belongings, but they can only do it in person to say goodbye to their relatives.
Before the first birthday of Xiao Fuxing, the little couple went back to Jingnan Hou's Mansion once.
The old lady, who is over sixty years old, has more wrinkles and gray hair than in the past, but she is still in good spirits.
Knowing that Doudou was going to the Great Northwest, she was full of reluctance, but she couldn't find a reason not to support her granddaughter's travel.
As the saying goes, young couples are old companions, but how can young couples not be companions?
No matter whether the road ahead is smooth or bumpy, whether it is honorable or down, the husband and wife need to face it together.
Without the help of each other on the road of life, what is it called husband and wife?
She hugged the little Fuxing who was tired of playing and fell asleep in her arms, and said softly: "Children, they are all sorrowful, and it won't be long before our little Fuxing can run and jump, and your mother just arrived at the maternal great-grandmother The general size of childhood, the general sign is sensible, remember to come back often to see the maternal great-grandmother......
The old lady's words made Huo Xiao and Doudou feel sour, but they knew that no matter what they said, they couldn't soothe the discomfort in the old man's heart, so they had to accompany him silently.
Yuan Zheng also felt uncomfortable, and said to their husband and wife: "Let your grandmother hug Xiao Fuxing well, and go to the side hall with your father to talk." ”
The three of them nodded slightly at the old lady and walked out of the main room together.
After taking a seat in the side hall, Doudou said softly: "Daddy, Your Majesty is about to make a deposit." ”
Yuan Zheng said: "I never thought that your sister would come this far...... It's just a matter of establishing a prince, and as a father, I can't tell what choice His Majesty will make in the end. ”
Huo Xiao said: "Father means that I am not sure whether the emperor's uncle will set up a prince or a grandson directly?" ”
Yuan Zheng was not surprised by his son-in-law's sensitivity, nodded and said: "If you really want to be forced to that part, King Yi may not be able to be a qualified prince or even an emperor before he has not, we know this, of course His Majesty the Emperor also understands, but King Yi has never been here, and His Majesty is afraid that the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty will decline." ”
With the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is very unlikely that it will be destroyed overnight.
Even if someone like the fourth prince becomes the emperor, as long as the positions of important ministers such as Yuan Zheng and Huo Xiao remain unchanged, it will not be a problem to maintain basic stability.
But governing the country is also like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Especially in the eyes of an emperor with great ambitions like Emperor Yongtai, if he is not prepared for danger in peace, the country will change hands sooner or later.
Therefore, he was not at ease with the four princes, so he took Yuwen, who had just turned one year old, into the palace to raise him personally.
Doudou said: "Actually, we don't have to think too much, whether it is a prince or a grandson, the final throne is Cheng'er's, even if my sister is not the queen in name, but she is also the mother of the future emperor, the queen mother of the eight classics." ”
Yuan Zheng sighed and said: "That's how I have a headache, what kind of character is your sister, I wanted her to marry an idle prince and enjoy a lifetime of happiness, but in the end she folded in." ”
Doudou handed over a cup of tea: "Daddy, don't think too much, with you, the first assistant of the dynasty, and Huo Xiao, the general, in charge of the army, Cheng'er's future road will definitely be very smooth."
Besides, sister, there is nothing wrong with her son becoming the emperor, at least no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty dares to point fingers in front of her, and she still enjoys a lifetime of happiness. ”
