Speaking of the outside world, Mei Pan was also very curious, "I heard that from Dachu to the west, the people there actually have various hair colors and eye colors, aren't they the same as the legendary demons?" ”

"It's hard to say." Yuan Ziqing said, "Maybe the legend of this demon came out because someone from there came to the Central Plains and was seen." After all, to the west of Great Chu, there are occasional people with colored eyes, and their appearance is completely different from that of my people of Great Chu. If the world were so vast, it would not be surprising that life in the Far West would be different. ”

"This is also true, the world is vast, and even the fruits and vegetables produced in different places are different, not to mention people?" Sigh on the side of the eyebrows.

Yuan Ziqing couldn't help laughing, "Although your statement is rough, it's also interesting." If you think about it, that's exactly what happened. ”

He raised his eyebrows to look at him, and suddenly sighed again, "Even so, leaving the capital is still melancholy." It's home, after all. ”

"There will be a day to go back." Yuan Ziqing didn't care.

His eyes widened at the edge of his eyebrows, "Go back?" If the emperor is still angry, won't he fall into the net when he goes back? "Not being angry with others does not mean that you have to let go of Yuan Ziqing, the main master.

Yuan Ziqing said with a smile, "After five years and ten years, the situation will be different at that time. Majesty is a smart person, and I don't think I care about a little disrespect. "The most important thing is that when Yuan Ziqing's influence in the court is minimal, what does the emperor have to be nervous about when he goes back to Beijing to visit his family?

Meibian thought that after leaving Beijing, it would be difficult to go back, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple thing in Yuan Ziqing's mouth. After being stunned, he also let go, "In this case, I will write down all the overseas things and tell them back." ”

While the two were talking, they heard someone report that someone was looking for them outside the door.

Meibian and Yuan Ziqing glanced at each other, both a little strange. After all, there should be no acquaintances here, and if it was for official business, he wouldn't come here to find him, and even if he came, he would definitely explain his intention and ask to see him directly.

"Who is it?" Yuan Ziqing asked.

"I don't know, he said that he is the old man of the prince and the princess, and his surname is Qu." Humane.

"Uncle Shi?" At this time, Yuan Ziqing and Meibian were really surprised. Why did he come at this time?

The two were not surprised that Qu Kuan could find here, after all, Yuan Ziqing's itinerary was public. But Qu Kuan deliberately found here, could it be that there was something wrong?

The two of them greeted them in person, and sure enough, they saw Qu Kuan's wide robe and wide sleeves, high crown and broad belt, and a fairy style, standing in the flower hall, studying the paintings hanging on the wall.

"Uncle Shi!" He exclaimed in surprise at his eyebrows, "Why are you here?" ”

Qu Kuan turned his head to see them, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to sea by boat, so I came over to take a look." ”

Yuan Ziqing's heart moved, "Could it be that Uncle Shi plans to go with us?" ”

He also raised his eyebrows to look at him.

Qu Kuan stroked his beard and nodded, "Not bad." In the past few years, I have traveled all over the Great Chu River and Mountain, but there are very few rare medicinal herbs I can find. I just heard that you are going to sea, and I heard that there are countless treasures overseas, so I plan to follow you to see it. If you can find one or two, it's not a wasted effort. ”

"I used to only hear people say that overseas is a barren and barren land, why did Uncle Shi hear that there are overseas treasures?" Eyebrow smiled and quipped.

Qu Kuan shook his head, "No, you don't understand this." It is precisely because of the barren land that it is inaccessible, so there are overseas treasures. He couldn't help but sigh, "Dachu is densely populated, and the mountains and forests are becoming less and less, and the medicinal herbs in the mountains have already been picked over and over again, and there is nothing left." If you want to find good things, you have to go where no one is. ”

"It's easy." Yuan Ziqing said, "There are a lot of deserted islands along the road, and when the time comes, I will let people follow Uncle Shi up to explore." ”

"That's exactly what I meant." Qu Kuan didn't shirk, and responded with a smile.

Looking at him with his eyebrows, he always felt that Qu Kuan had changed a little compared to what he had seen in the capital before, but what it was, it was not clear for a while.

Qu Kuan had already asked, "What about my little grandson?" You should be three years old this year, right? ”

On the side of the eyebrows, he asked people to find Shi and Xiao Jiu, nodded at Qu Kuan and smiled, "Yes, the body is quite strong, but I still ask Uncle Shi to give me the palm of my eyes." Saying that, I couldn't help but worry, "The children's family followed us to the sea, and I really didn't feel at ease. ”

"Fortunately, there is Uncle Shi here now, and there are also healers on the ship." Yuan Ziqing said, "Uncle Shi has helped us a lot. ”

After a while, Xiao Jiu was brought over, he has been crazy these days, and he doesn't pay attention to any etiquette, and he wants to pounce on his eyebrows when he enters the door. But halfway through, he noticed Qu Kuan's storage zài, and the whole person was stunned.

He carefully glanced at Qu Kuan a few times, and then immediately restrained his movements, and honestly saluted Yuan Ziqing and his eyebrows.

When Qu Kuan saw him like this, he couldn't help laughing, "This doll is interesting." ”

Xiao Jiu leaned to the side of his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Mother, who is this?" ”

"This is your uncle's grandfather." "He and your grandfather are very good friends." I love my mother the most, and I will also hurt Xiao Jiu in the future. Come, call someone. ”

Xiao Jiu obediently called someone, was hugged by Qu Kuan into his arms, and took out a very fine exquisite lock from his sleeve, "This is a long-life lock, let's take it with you." ”

Seeing the nodding on the side of his eyebrows, Xiao Jiu took it, thanked him with a smile, and held it in his hand. The exquisite lock is made of gold, and inlaid with green jade, the shape is delicate and beautiful, very good-looking, children already like these things, naturally the treasure is very good.

Qu Kuan said, "This lock also has a name, come to my grandfather to teach you." ”

Xiao Jiu reluctantly gave him the lock. With a dexterous movement of Qu Kuan's fingers, the delicate lock was unlocked and divided into two halves, and between these two halves, there was actually a gap where a fragrant pill was hidden.

Xiao Jiu stared at Qu Kuan with wide eyes, with an incredulous look. Qu Kuan put the pill in his hand, "This is for you." ”

"Uncle Shi......" couldn't help but speak.

Although he knew that Qu Kuan would not harm Xiao Jiu, how could the medicine be eaten indiscriminately? Besides, Xiao Jiu is still a child.

Qu Kuan waved his hand, "It's a good thing to solidify Peiyuan, and I found a medicine with great ease." There is only one grain in this world. Originally, it was going to be given to Ziqing to eat, but I think he is full of energy now, and he doesn't need this anymore. Just give it to the child. ”

"Since it's such a good thing......"

"I don't need it either." Qu Kuan said, "This child was born well, I like it very much." It's also like he's got in touch with me. Saying that, he smiled at Xiao Jiu encouragingly, "This is sugar, it's delicious." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at his father and mother, and saw that they didn't stop him, so he carefully reached out and picked up the pill and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it's sweet, and it melts in your mouth, so it tastes good. Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Qu Kuan touched his pulse again and said, "This child has a strong body, and you are raising it well." "When I gave birth, I took in my eyebrows, and the child also had some influence. It's not easy to grow so well now.

Yuan Ziqing and Meibian both breathed a sigh of relief, and Meibian said, "Uncle Shi will also help Ziqing take a look, right?" ”

"He doesn't have to look, but you, who look a little out of energy, have your hand outstretched." Qu Kuan Road.

He handed out his hand on the side of his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Yuan Ziqing, wanting to see where he was "full of energy", so that Qu Kuan could see it at a glance. But this time, it seems that I really see something.

Yuanzi Qingmei's high spirits are much more obvious than when he was in the capital. You must know that at that time, he was in power and had a pivotal position, but now he is assigned in the eyes of others. It seems that he said before that he wanted to go out and have a look, but he didn't just coax her.

In a moment of thought, Qu Kuan had already touched her pulse, and his brows furrowed. Yuan Ziqing mentioned in his heart, "Could it be that there is something wrong?" ”

"Naturally, it's not right!" Qu Kuan glared at Yuan Ziqing, "She's already pregnant, and you plan to let her follow you for a long time, isn't this nonsense?!" I heard that you have also taught yourself some before, and Fumai is especially experienced, why didn't you want to see it? ”

"Pregnant?" Yuan Ziqing's expression was taken aback, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at his eyebrows.

Finally seeing his face change on her eyebrows, she tried to hold back a smile and looked back innocently. Yuan Ziqing was a little at a loss, "This ...... How is this possible? ”

"What are you talking about? How could it not be? Qu Kuan blew his beard and glared.

Yuan Ziqing had no choice but to tell the table, "I can't hide it from Uncle Shi, since she gave birth to Xiao Jiu, I'm afraid that she hasn't taken care of her body and has been taking medicine to avoid children." This...... How could it suddenly be? ”

"What kind of medicine are you taking?" Qu Kuan frowned, and his hand reached over.

After looking at Yuan Ziqing's pulse and making sure that there was no problem, he turned his head to look at the smiling eyebrows, and guessed what was going on after a turn of thought, so he said, "Xu is that your medicine was prescribed by a quack doctor, and it has no effect." ”

...... "Well, this reason, although it sounds, seems to be the closest to the truth.

Yuan Ziqing was stunned before he thought of being happy. Meibian is pregnant, and he is going to have a child again! It's just that after being happy for a while, he became worried again, "Uncle Shi, can she still take a boat like this?" I heard that the sea is rough and rough......"

"Our ship is not small." Qu Kuan glared, "It's good to be healthy, but it doesn't hurt." When it's time to give birth, find a place to settle down and live for two or three months. ”

"With Uncle Shi here, you can always rest assured." It was inconvenient to be intimate in front of people, but he still persuaded in a low voice.

She knew that Yuan Ziqing had always felt that production was very dangerous in her heart, and she was unwilling to regenerate herself. But the child already has it, and it doesn't mean that if you don't give birth, you can't give birth. In that case, why not take a look? Fortunately, there is still Qu Kuan, presumably Yuan Ziqing is easier to let go.

Yuan Ziqing nodded reluctantly, and saluted solemnly towards Qu Kuan, "There is Uncle Lao Shi." ”

Then he slowly eased up from the shock and regained his usual appearance, "This is a good thing, Uncle Shi happened to be here today, double happiness is coming, and it is time to celebrate." I have people prepare meals and eat something good in the evening. I'll drink with Uncle Shi! ”

Qu Kuan said, "Just drink, I'm practicing the kung fu of self-cultivation now, and I can only warm up with a glass of wine every day." ”

Yuan Ziqing was very curious about this and couldn't help asking. At this time, Xiao Jiu secretly pulled the sleeve of his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

He couldn't understand anything like being pregnant, and he was in a fog.

Mei Pan realized this, took his little hand, and said in a low voice, "There is a little sister in my mother's belly, does Xiao Jiuxi like the little sister?" Is it okay for my mother to give birth to you? ”

"Xiao Jiu has a sister!" The child raised his head and looked at his eyebrows, and said with a serious face, "Sister Li'er." ”

"Yes, Li'er is also a sister." Meibian said, "But Li'er is Xiao Eleven's sister, and my mother will give Xiao Jiusheng a sister of your own, okay?" ”

Xiao Jiu has vaguely understood that the one who lives together is his own. Li'er lives with Xiao Eleven and her aunt, obviously not "from her own family", so she immediately nodded, "Xiao Jiu also wants a sister!" "So the next time I see Little Eleven, I don't have to fight with him for my sister!

Only then did he smile, "Xiao Jiu is obedient, and my sister will come out in a few months." ”

But Xiao Jiu still couldn't understand the matter of waiting for a few months, he stared at the stomach next to his eyebrows with wide eyes, "Is my sister in my mother's belly?" How do you take it out? ”

"When the time comes, she will be born." Meibian said, "Xiao Jiu also came here like this!" ”

"Then give birth quickly!"

He couldn't hold back a smile on his eyebrows, "My sister is still too young to give birth, so I have to live in my mother's belly for a while." ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes widened, "Did I live in my mother's belly before?" ”

"That's right." Eyebrows nodded.

Xiao Jiu then cautiously stretched out his hand with a feeling of reverence and curiosity, touched it on the stomach beside his eyebrows, and then took it back, "I met my sister." ”

The childish words here have already attracted the attention of Qu Kuan and Yuan Ziqing, and when they heard this, the two of them couldn't help laughing, Qu Kuan called him over, "Our Xiaojiu is going to be a brother, do you want to follow your grandfather to learn the skills and protect your sister in the future?" ”

"Uncle Shi, this ......" Yuan Ziqing hurriedly said, "Is it inappropriate?" ”

"What's wrong?" Qu Kuan said, "I have no descendants, and Xiao Jiu is like a grandson." How much he can learn from my own skills is his creation, and if he can use some of them in the future, it will not be regarded as a broken inheritance. ”

He turned his head to look at Yuan Ziqing, "I know that you must dislike your son for learning medical skills, and you can't be on the stage!" ”

"Uncle Shi misunderstood." Yuan Ziqing couldn't cry or laugh, this is not how the agitation method is used, "Since you have already made up your mind, then I naturally can't object." It's just that I'm afraid that Xiao Jiu will be stupid and won't be able to learn, but he will live up to Uncle Shi's intentions. ”

"Don't say nice things to coax me." Qu Kuan said, "It's my business that I teach Xiao Jiu, what does it have to do with you?" He's just really stupid, and that's the one I picked. Besides, is there a father who does this? I dislike my own children for being stupid! ”

"......" That's just a sentence of self-humility, he can't praise his son to others, right?

Qu Kuan didn't care what he was thinking, he pulled Xiao Jiu and left, "Grandpa will take you to make an interesting game." ”

Yuan Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Shi taught him, and he was distracted, so it's okay not to pester you." Just to raise a baby with peace of mind. "It's just that I'm still not at ease," "Why is there it?" ”

"You're not happy?" The willow eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were fixed on him, as if as long as he dared to nod, he would immediately want him to look good.

Yuan Ziqing hurriedly shook his head, "It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just worried." ”

He circled his eyebrows in his arms and hugged him tightly, "The feeling of being able to stand by and watch you suffer weakly, once is enough." ”

"It's nothing to have another child." He said, "Uncle Shi is here." Besides, no one will do anything this time, so it will be very smooth. We always have to leave a companion for Xiao Jiu. Otherwise, if you go out for a few years, you will only have him as a child, which is not appropriate. ”

"That's right." Yuan Ziqing suddenly came back to his senses, "Or let's find a few children to accompany Xiao Jiu?" ”

Eyebrows glared at him, "Other people's children are not children, so parents won't worry?" ”

Yuan Ziqing hesitated slightly, and then said, "It's better for you to stay here with Xiao Jiu to give birth, so as not to be inconvenient on the ship." But before the words came out, he repented, "It's not appropriate, I can't leave you alone." If I had known that you were pregnant, I would not have asked His Majesty for advice. Now we can't let the fleet stay and wait for us for a year, what should we do? ”

"Didn't Uncle Shi say it? I don't have any problems even if I take a boat. "Besides, I won't stay here with my children." You just said that you want to travel all over the rivers and mountains with me before, and see the scenery of this world, and you will change your hexagram so soon, I don't agree! ”

Yuan Ziqing was helpless, "I'm just worried about ......"

"You don't have to be so careful," said Meibian, "last time someone had ulterior motives, and even so, didn't he save the day in the end?" My mother often said that I was blessed and there would be no problem. Besides, I can't bear you. ”

When she said the last sentence, she tilted her head sideways, just like this, squinting at Yuan Ziqing, with a faint smile in her eyes.

It looks like a joke, but it's actually true.

She and Yuan Ziqing have only been together for a few years, but it is far from enough for Meibian. What she wants is to be with her for a lifetime, and in this case, she will cherish herself and not take risks at will. Maybe it's the nature of mother and son, even if she suffered when she gave birth to Xiaojiu, she still felt that it was worth it just by looking at the child. Besides, there are so many women giving birth in the world, how many can have an accident?

Yuan Ziqing could only sigh in the end, "Now, even if I am worried, I can only do this." ”

He covered his mouth and snickered at his eyebrows.

This was originally one of her purposes, quietly pregnant with a child, which shocked Yuan Ziqing at the same time, but she could only accept it.

Who told him to hide what kind of child-avoiding drugs he took?

Yuan Ziqing looked at the expression on her face thoughtfully, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, "You know? ”

"What do I know?" The eyebrows pretended to be puzzled.

"I ...... Medication. Yuan Ziqing asked quickly, and only then did he realize that he had not discussed this matter with Meibian. However, I haven't asked from Fang Gang until now, so I obviously knew it for a long time. Moreover, when Yuan Ziqing looked back, he could also find some clues.

Raising his eyebrows, "My husband hides things so well, how can I know?" ”

So you must know it. Yuan Ziqing's thoughts turned slightly and he understood, "You...... Could it be that you secretly changed my medicine? ”

"Can't you change it?" Meibian was also angry, "I asked the doctor, and he said that the medicine is hurting the body, if you don't stop, continue to take it like this, sooner or later the heir will be difficult!" ”

"We already have children." Yuan Ziqing said in a low voice, "It's enough to have Xiao Jiu." ”

"Anyway, the child is already in the womb." He lowered his eyebrows and smiled smugly, "You can say anything now." ”

Yuan Ziqing was very helpless, he never expected that there would be such a scheming on his eyebrows. It's just that even if you figure it out at this point, it's already too late. He put his palm over his lower abdomen next to his eyebrows, and sighed softly, "You have to be obedient, don't toss your mother." ”

"Don't worry, I have a hunch that this baby must be a daughter." Meibian said, "People say that my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, our children are so well-behaved, where will there be trouble?" ”

"Hmm." After Yuan Ziqing turned the hurdle in his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it. After all, being a father is a happy thing, although he was worried before, it does not mean that he does not like and does not look forward to this child.

"It's just that I'm going to have to work hard for you again." He kissed the cheek next to his brow.

Although Meibian had an experience, Yuan Ziqing was still very careful. The two were close for a while, and then he sent Meibian back to the room and asked her to rest more. Crying and laughing at the side of his eyebrows, "It's not early or late at this time, what should I do if I oversleep and can't sleep at night?" ”

"Then look at the book...... It's not good, it's eye-catching, it's mind-consuming. Female red can't do it either......" Yuan Ziqing himself pondered and recited the words.

Meibian hurriedly asked him to stop, "It's okay to read a book." I'm going to keep writing my manuscript. ”

"I'll write it." Yuan Ziqing immediately said, "I'll read the book to you." As he spoke, he helped the person to the bed and leaned against him, "You just lie down here, and you don't have to do anything." ”

Then he took the book and read it to her.

His voice was low and slow, and he read a pun with a melody that was very pleasant to listen to. Before I knew it, I closed my eyes.

By the time she finished reading the article, she was already drowsy.

Yuan Ziqing was afraid that she would sleep too much, so she had to wake people up.

He turned his eyebrows and leaned on the head of the bed, staring at him in confusion. Her sideburns had spread out a little because of the movement, and a strand of inky hair clinged to her snowy cheeks, and her cheeks were flushed with moisturized blood. The eyes that looked at him were gentle and affectionate.

Yuanziqing's throat tightened, and he couldn't help but tense his body.
