There were two jade pendants in her husband's hand.

One has been in the hands of Concubine An for a long time, while the other should have been in the hands of Emperor Jianguang.

She will be familiar, also because she often sees Concubine An wearing it on her body.

Concubine An Guifei didn't tell her what this jade pendant was for, but just mentioned with a smile, "Wearing this thing on my body is more reassuring than letting me hold the phoenix seal in my hand." ”

However, the precious jade pendant in Concubine An's eyes has now become a plaything in the hands of children.

Xia Ruan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Master Hou." Xia Ruan moved to snatch the jade pendant from the child's hand again, "I have prepared hot water, you go and change your clothes first." ”

When the child saw his mother coming to snatch the jade pendant in his hand, he tightly clung to Xiao Jiu's clothes and was unwilling to let go.

The corners of Xiao Jiu's mouth rose, and he smiled while protecting the child and said, "Later." ”

The husband spoils this child too much.

This made Xia Ruan have to stop what he was doing, and just looked at this big and small.

Xiao Jiu also seemed to notice his wife's helpless look, so he put the child on the soft couch again, and then touched his nose before taking the jade pendant back from the child's hand. But who knew that the child struggled and didn't let him touch the jade pendant, but the child's strength was too small, and the jade pendant finally came into his hands.

The child pursed his lips and looked unhappy, as if he would be able to cry in the next moment.

"It's not that your father won't let you play, it's that your mother won't allow it." Xiao Jiu looked at the child embarrassedly, and there was a trace of guilt on his handsome face, "Daddy also wants to listen to your mother." ”

The child, who is not yet ten months old, naturally can't understand Xiao Jiu's words.

But. The child didn't know what he thought, so he turned his head like a little beast, and bit Xiao Jiu and held the jade pendant's index finger. At this time, Xia Ruan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly sat on the soft couch, wanting to take the child away.

"Sheng'er." Xia Ruan called, "Loosen your mouth." ”

"Uh......h Woo ......" The child bit Xiao Jiu's finger, unwilling to let go, and let out a faint whining sound in his mouth.

Xiao Jiu was startled at first, and finally showed a helpless look.

Xia Ruan stretched out her hand to hug the child. "Sheng'er. This jade pendant can't be played, can my mother play the account book for you? ”

The child was too young to understand the meaning of Xia Ruan's words, and he was still holding Xiao Jiu's fingers and was unwilling to let go.

Xiao Jiugang calmed down. But I saw that Xia Ruan wanted to let the child move away. But the child is too stubborn. Still biting his fingers and refusing to let go. And the child seems to have discovered this finger too, something not too tasty. So his expression gradually became a little unhappy, as if he was wondering if he had bitten the wrong thing.

This one is big and one is small. Just looked at each other like this, and no one gave in to half a point.

"Okay." Xiao Jiu finally admitted defeat and put the jade pendant in the child's hand, "Don't let your mother see it." ”

Chang'an Hou, who has never liked to admit defeat, actually lost to his child who was less than ten months old for the first time.

When the child saw that the jade pendant was back in his hand, he smiled happily again.

Xiao Jiu's words were ostensibly for children, but in fact they were for Xia Ruan.

In the eyes of his wife, this jade pendant is too valuable, and she is afraid that the child will fall this jade pendant. But Xiao Jiu thinks that no matter how precious things are, they are not as good as the smiles of their children and wives.

Only if they are well, the qiē he has is meaningful.

Especially the current Xiao Sheng, after getting the jade pendant, he moved his soft body with satisfaction and got into Xia Ruan's arms, as if he was coquettish.

Xia Ruan deliberately frowned at him, and said pretendingly, "Master Hou, Sheng'er is still young, so you spoil him like this." In the future, he is afraid that he will be lawless. ”

Xiao Jiu just smiled, and his ink-like eyes were full of tolerance.

"Sheng'er is like you, smart." Xiao Jiu sat beside Xia Ruan and stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "He will be very well-behaved." ”

Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows, and then laughed out loud.

"He's so big that he knows how to take these precious things." Xia Ruan shook his head, seeing the child playing with the jade pendant happily, it seemed that he had forgotten the mentality of playing with the account book just now, "I don't know who it looks like?" ”

Xiao Jiu's tense feelings in the court were finally unloaded at this moment.

In the past few days, he has not had a moment to rest.

It seems that if he rests, the people behind him will catch up with him.

But at this time, when he saw his wife and children, his heart instantly softened.

Xia Ruan's words reminded him of the words of Li Changfeng and Wen Zhonghuai.

They all said that Xiao Sheng's eyes were very similar to him.

So, Xiao Jiu looked at the child's eyes with a little expectation.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu's mood was improving, Xia Ruan began to get to the point, "Pingyang Hou has already proposed marriage to my mother, saying that after marrying Nan Ruo for three days, he will welcome Wen into the house. I looked at it, and it was kind of weird. ”

"Why weird?" Xiao Jiu held Xia Ruan's hand tightly, "Xia Wen's family business, you and I are helpless." This girl, with a bad heart, can't stay with her mother, and it's a disaster for a long time. Nguyen, this matter cannot be delayed. ”

Xiao Jiu didn't tell Xia Wen about the ugly things in the past, because he knew that his wife must know this.

His wife is not blind or stupid.

Xia Ruan looked down at the child in his arms and said softly, "Master Hou, that's not what I'm worried about. If the Marquis of Pingyang is a smart person, he should not welcome the girl into the house at this time. ”

Nan Ruo welcomed Xia Wen three days after entering the mansion, which was definitely not a good time.

The Sixth Prince is not a stupid person, he would choose to do this, and he has already put aside his reputation for many years. Regarding the actions of the Six Princes and Tang Jingxuan, she naturally couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, the military power in the hands of the six princes is not yet stable.

If he lost his mask at this time, wasn't he afraid that Emperor Jianguang would take him into an army?

Xiao Jiu smiled, "I did it." ”

In just three words, Xia Ruan had to raise her head to look at her husband.

He......

"I put some pressure on the sixth prince and made him short of money." Xiao Jiu still explained calmly, "When Ai Ye got married. Those dowries have already moved the hearts of the six princes. After all, Xia Wen is the fourth lady of the Xia family, and the sixth prince thinks that Xia Wen's dowry will be more than Ai Ye. Now, even if he is 10,000 taels of silver, he will never let it go. ”

It is definitely not a good time to put pressure on the six princes at this time.

Cinnabar didn't show up for a long time, and they didn't investigate what they were doing behind the scenes.

The husband will do this, persecuting the six princes too much, and will make the six princes jump off the wall in a hurry.

The more this time. The more careful.

Her husband understands this better than she does.

Xia Ruan thought for a while. Only then did he tentatively say, "When Ai Ye got married, you set out to make people add a lot of dowry, is this just for this?" ”

"That's one of the reasons." Xiao Jiu was happy to see the child playing with jade pendants. I couldn't help but pinch the child's cheek again. "Ai Ye has been with you for years. And for you to be born and die, these are the things that should be awarded to her. I want to let them know those who are faithful to you. I will not treat them badly. The second is to comfort Mr. Xilou. Ai Ye's birth is not a good match with the Bai family. Mr. Xilou doesn't mind, but outsiders will make irresponsible remarks, and only a generous dowry for Ai Ye can shut up these people. ”

Xiao Jiu said it easily, but Xia Ruan's heart softened when he heard it.

When Ai Ye got married, she prepared a rich dowry for Ai Ye. At that time, after Xiao Jiu saw it, he set out to add a lot of things into it.

Although she was curious about what her husband was doing, she didn't stop it.

After all, she owes Ai Ye.

The reason for this is only now that she understands.

Ai Ye almost died for her, so her husband rewarded Ai Ye with these things. The husband did this just to tell the people around her that only by being loyal to her would he have a bright future.

Artemisia is a good example.

Xiao Jiu saw that Xia Ruan didn't speak, and said, "When the sixth prince sees Ai Ye's dowry, he will be tempted by these gold and silver. ”

"So, Pingyang Hou is in a hurry to marry Xia Wen and enter the door?" Xia Ruan sighed lightly, "Master Hou, can the four princes know these things?" ”

Now Xiao Jiu is the one standing behind the four princes, and if he does this, if he makes the four princes unhappy, I am afraid it will not be good.

Xiao Jiu smiled and nodded, "He naturally knows." ”

In fact, there are two other reasons why he did this.

But Xiao Jiu didn't plan to sue Xia Ruan.

Because, these things don't need to be said too clearly.

One is because Xia Wen can't stay for a long time. Such a white-eyed wolf will harm his wife and the Li family, and now he lets Xia Wen marry into the Tang family at this time, so Nan Ruo and Nan Jianchun will definitely not be good at resting. When the time comes, Xia Wen is a member of the Tang family, and it is Nan Ruo's decision whether she is dead or alive. In this way, even if Xia Wen is tortured to death, it has nothing to do with his wife, let alone dirty his wife's hands.

The second is his selfishness.

In the past, he knew that Tang Jingxuan had coveted his wife for a long time.

Therefore, in the suppression of the Tang family, he was ruthless.

Even the fourth prince was surprised by his actions, and he didn't know why he hated the people of the Tang family so much.

Xiao Jiu thought that after Nan Ruo and Xia Wen married into the Tang family, the Pingyang Hou Mansion would not be peaceful, and Tang Jingxuan would be busy at that time, and he would have no time to disturb his wife anymore.

Moreover, he couldn't wait to defeat the Tang family.

"Mother...... Woo......" The child whimpered before handing the jade pendant in his hand to Xia Ruan, then yawned and clutched Xia Ruan's sleeve tightly.

Xiao Jiu gathered his thoughts, looked at the child's appearance, and laughed.

At this time, Xia Ruan called the nurse in, handed the child to the nurse, and asked the nurse to coax the child to sleep.

After finishing this, she handed the jade pendant to Xiao Jiu, "Master Hou, you have to put away this jade pendant." ”

Xiao Jiu saw that his wife's hair was a little messy, so he gave her a cut, "Ah Ruan......"

"Huh?" After Xia Ruan handed over the jade pendant to Xiao Jiu, he was a little puzzled, "Master Hou is tired?" ”

Xiao Jiu shook his head, leaned over Xia Ruan's ear, and whispered, "Ah Ruan, are you pregnant?" ”

When Xia Ruan heard this, his face turned red. (To be continued......)
