Chapter 282
Four years later, Pan Chen sat in the imperial garden, looking at the ranking of this year's show girls, in the harem since Pan Chen became the queen and issued the order to change the position of the talent, it has been five or six years, the concubines resisted from the beginning, privately scolded Pan Chen for being selfish, ignoring the etiquette outline Chang Yunyun, and a year later, some of the concubines who participated in the rating really rose to the ranks, and after everyone saw the substantial benefits, they finally slowly calmed down, and by now, the assessment results have become a very common thing in the harem. And over the years, Pan Chen's team of female officials has expanded from dozens of people to hundreds of people today, not only including the talented female officials in the palace, but also some other unpopular ones, all of which were specially recruited from outside the palace, ensuring that as long as the concubines put forward a skill, the harem can have this project.
Pan Chen was looking at the talent column of this year's show girls, two little dolls wearing the same style of clothes ran in from the garden, the one in front led the one behind, step by step, and walked to Pan Chen very calmly, Pan Chen looked up at them, the one in front of him was combed with two pigtails, the pink was very cute, it was a girl, and the one in the back was a boy, the general appearance of the two people, Pan Chen put down the things in his hand and opened his arms to them, the two children arrived in Pan Chen's arms at the same time, and the girl complained coquettishly:
"Mother, brother, bad."
This is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses born by Pan Chen two years ago, the daughter is the bigest, called Ruyi, and the son is called He Ning, although Ruyi is only half an hour older than He Ning, but it is completely a protective appearance of a younger brother, but He Ning has an introverted personality, and he has not learned how to speak to this day, and there is no expression on his face, when he was two or three years old, it looked like a small copy of Qi Mozhou, no matter how funny, it was difficult to give you a smile.
The 'brother' in Ruyi's mouth must have said An Ning, Pan Chen touched the top of the two children's heads and asked:
"How bad is my brother? Tell my mother. ”
He Ning doesn't like to talk, so far he hasn't opened many mouths, that is, he just burst out word by word, if it weren't for the awkward quarrel with Ruyi once, and said a few more words, Pan Chen would have thought that this kid was a stunned person, but unlike He Ning, Ruyi is a chatterbox, as long as he opens it, he can't hold it anymore.
"My brother rides a horse and doesn't take my sister and Ning Ning, he's bad, and my sister doesn't play with him anymore."
Pan Chen knew what was going on when he heard it, An Ning is now nine years old, Qi Mozhou began to teach him to ride and shoot, and the two little ones naturally couldn't go, sure enough, after Ruyi finished telling An Ning, it was followed by suing Qi Mozhou.
"Daddy is also bad, don't bring my sister and Ning Ning."
Pan Chen had the heart to talk to them more, so he looked at He Ning and asked, "Tell my mother, is what my sister said true?" Are my brother and daddy bad? ”
He Ning listened to Pan Chen's words, and did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at his sister, nodded decisively, and gave instructions to He Ning: "Bad, they are all bad." ”
He Ning turned his head to Pan Chen at this time, but still did not speak, nodded his head, and agreed with his sister's words.
Pan Chen couldn't help but be amused by the two siblings, and was about to talk to them when the moon set and said:
"Niangniang, Xiao Guo's mission is almost here."
Pan Chen's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there any Mrs. Fengtian from Xiao Guo among your peers?" ”
Yueluo shook her head: "I haven't heard of this, I just said that the emperor of Xiao State personally sent an envoy and brought the two princes and two princesses of Xiao State, and there was no word of Mrs. Fengtian in the list." ”
Pan Chen nodded disappointedly, and Ruyi asked beside him, "Mother, Mrs. Fengtian, who is it?" ”
Pan Chen didn't know how to explain to her, Xiao Jirong sent Daqi, Qi Mozhou told her the news a month ago, over the years, there was no news from Liu's, Pan Chen had asked Xiao Jirong many times, Xiao Jirong only said that she had received Liu's letter, and didn't know her whereabouts, Liu's annual letter, Pan Chen would also receive it, but the person never showed up, Pan Chen really regretted it, why did she encourage Liu's to go out, I thought she would recycle her heart after a year or two, but I didn't expect that she looked quite reliable, This play is not to go home for six or seven years, and to go to sea is very happy, completely forgetting the pair of children in the Central Plains, and occasionally coming to seal the family letter, but only to tell them that she is still alive, don't read a letter to keep them safe.
"When will the Great Qi Mission arrive in Jiankang City, have you heard?" Pan Chen thought that if the Liu family couldn't see it, it would be good to see Xiao Jirong and them.
"Probably tomorrow afternoon, the slave maid also got the news from the Inner Court Division, who is in charge of reception, and I don't know if it's accurate or not, if Niangniang really wants to know, you can ask Gonggong Xuanli."
To ask these questions, Li Shun is indeed the best choice, but Pan Chen doesn't have to ask, because Qi Mozhou will tell her at night.
"Xiao Jirong will be able to arrive in Jiankang tomorrow afternoon, this time it is estimated that it is still for the border afforestation, the geology of the north is very hard, it has been planted for two years, and there is not much harvest, if it can, this time I want the household department to send a few people to go back with him to help see, there are now many agricultural masters in the Ministry of Agriculture."
Qi Mozhou said to Pan Chen, Pan Chen undressed him, hung it aside, Qi Mozhou sat on the soft couch in his middle coat to rest, he hadn't seen him for many years, Qi Mozhou was more calm than before, and his eyebrows were more majestic than before, but Pan Chen didn't change much, he sent a cup of tea to Qi Mozhou, and said with a smile:
"The emperor treats Xiao Guo really well. This time Xiao Jirong came over, I have to thank you well. ”
Qi Mozhou couldn't hear that she was joking, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law treats my uncle well, it's a matter of course, what is there to thank?" ”
Pan Chen smiled: "I'm really not ashamed, who is your eldest brother?" Ming'er, if you call Xiao Jirong like this, he can be scared to death to show you. ”
This is what the two of them joked in private, Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen, who was the mother of three children, but there was still no change, but she added some soft charm, covering up her former childishness, and never got tired of looking at it.
"It's not that I'm not ashamed, when we went to Xiao Country the year before last, didn't he call me brother-in-law? If he is not ashamed, he will not be ashamed first. ”
There are many reasons for Qimo Prefecture. Pan Chen didn't want to say anything more to him about this matter, sat opposite Qi Mozhou, sighed faintly, and said:
"Alas, it's a pity that my mother didn't come. If she comes, it will be lively. ”
Qi Mozhou knew that Pan Chen's most concern was the Liu family, but the Liu family had gone to sea to play all these years, rarely returned to the Central Plains, and occasionally wrote a few words to his family, at most it was just to report safety, no wonder Pan Chen missed her.
"Your mother has her own ideas and ways of living, she just needs to know that you are doing well, and if you don't come back, doesn't it mean that she knows?"
Qi Mozhou held Pan Chen's hand and comforted her, Pan Chen nodded: "I understand the reason, but I miss her too much." ”
Thinking about it, Pan Chen fell into Qi Mozhou's arms, and in this kind of sad moment, Qi Mozhou's arms can always give her warmth.
*************
Xiao Guo's mission arrived, because it was Xiao Jirong who came in person, so Qi Mozhou took Pan Chen and personally greeted him at the gate of the palace, Xiao Jirong was about the same age as Qi Mozhou, and now he also had two mustaches, and in the carriage behind him, a graceful and luxurious woman and a few gorgeously dressed children came down, Pan Chen saw those children, he knew that they were Xiao Jirong's children, but in the end, he followed a little girl, and Xiao Jirong did not look very similar.
After welcoming into the palace, Xiao Jirong and Qi Mozhou went to the cabinet, and began to talk about things without stopping for a moment, and greeted the female dependents and children and fell on Pan Chen, who led them to the imperial garden that had been arranged a long time ago.
The female dependents who came are Xiao Jirong's queen, surnamed Feng, is said to be born as a palace maid, and Xiao Jirong is a typical example of inseparable, and she is also very humble, she knows Pan Chen's identity, and is very close to her, Pan Chen is also happy to have such a gentle sister-in-law to speak, Feng introduced Xiao Jirong's children to Pan Chen, Pan Chen rewarded them one by one, and when the last pale-faced little girl, Feng said to Pan Chen:
"Oh, this is the county lord of Anran, she is the widow of King Huai, King Huai died on the battlefield for His Majesty many years ago, leaving only such a Miao Miao, who was originally raised by Princess Huai's side, but did not get a good upbringing, His Majesty brought it into the palace to be raised, and his temperament is more than my two pranksters and I don't know how much. An Ran, come over and say hello to the queen. ”
The little girl Wenwen is weak, petite, and a little cringe when she speaks, this should be related to her life experience, Pan Chen heard it from Feng's words, this girl is not the biological daughter of Princess Huai, she should be a concubine, the concubine is gone, King Huai died in battle, she became a posthumous child, where would Princess Huai raise such a child well, although Feng did not say it explicitly, Pan Chen had already guessed most of it, and was immediately full of sympathy for this little girl.
"An Ran, please say hello to the queen."
The voice of the voice, as low as a mosquito fly, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear what she is saying at all, Pan Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to her, the county lord of An Ran was stunned, his eyes flashed with warmth, and he sensibly put his hand in Pan Chen's hand, although the little hand looked thin, but the hand was extremely soft, and after a closer look, Pan Chen found the hidden light in the child's eyes, and knew that he was a steel-toothed little white rabbit, who looked soft and weak on the outside, but in fact, he was able to survive alone in the hands of Princess Huai, and successfully let Xiao Jirong take back the little girl who lived in the palace, where will it be a soft person? Not to mention, the child is only seven or eight years old now.
Pan Chen has never liked to have a lot of eyes, but that refers to a lot of eyes that are not right-minded, and he harms others for his own interests. 166 Reading Network
