Chapter 145 Husband and wife
Qin Yu looked at Xuan'er and laughed. And Xuan'er saw Qin Yu talking to him, and became more and more happy, grinning while reaching up to touch Qin Yu's face.
In order to make Xuan'er more easily touch~ his face, Qin Yu bent his body again.
"Brother, brother, ......" Xuan'er put her two little hands on Qin Yu's face, and called her brother in a milky voice.
“…… Xuan'er remembered Yu'er, in the past two days, at home, she returned her brother and brother's land, looking for ...... while calling," Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Where does Qin Xuan have a few brothers, and the only one is Qin Yu.
"Yu'er will accompany Xuan'er, it's rare that Xuan'er likes your brother so much." Zheng Gui said with a smile.
Qin Lin also smiled and nodded.
Both Zheng Gui and Qin Lin have already seen that with the presence of Empress Dowager Han, and Emperor Longqing still has that attitude, their plan cannot be realized for a while. The appearance of the Empress Dowager Han is really scary, and letting Qin Yu follow Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er closely is the safest place for Qin Yu.
Not only is it safe, but it also makes everyone look at it peacefully, which is far better than them taking Yu'er with them every step of the way.
Qin Lin and Zheng Gui obviously thought right.
Although Empress Dowager Han was noncommittal about this scene, Emperor Longqing liked it very much.
"It's great that Xuan'er and Yu'er fall in love like this. Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, brothers, Emperor Longqing said with relief and emotion.
Qin Zhen, Ji Xiaotang, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui all nodded with a smile, saying that Emperor Longqing was right.
“…… I will definitely teach Yu'er well. Let him love his brother. Qin Lin said with a smile.
"That's good." Without waiting for Qin Zhen to say anything, Empress Dowager Han took over the conversation, "Xuan'er is benevolent by nature. When he was young, he was afraid that people would bully him. ”
"With us here, who dares to bully Xuan'er!" Emperor Longqing said with a smile.
Empress Dowager Han smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is right. ”
Naturally, everyone laughed and agreed.
Qin Yu sat next to Ji Xiaotang, held one of Xuan'er's small hands, and let Xuan'er call him brotherly, with a smile on his face, it seemed that he was really happy.
Qin Ying sat with Qin Zhen. I haven't spoken much, and at this time, I was a little greedy when I saw Xuan'er being so affectionate to Qin Yu. She moved slightly in her chair. caused Qin Zhen to turn his face to look at her.
Qin Ying smiled embarrassedly.
Qin Zhen also smiled and nodded towards Qin Ying.
Qin Ying understood, and immediately stood up happily, and walked to Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er in small steps. But he still saluted and said hello to Empress Dowager Han first.
"Oh. Ying'er ......" Empress Dowager Han's attitude towards Qin Ying is not cold, but she is not eager, she almost always ignores Qin Ying's child unintentionally, "Ying'er is also getting better and better." Xiaotang is very good at teaching children, not only does she teach Xuan'er well, but Ying'er is also taught by her more and more excellently. ”
As Empress Dowager Han spoke, she glanced at Ji Xiaotang again.
Her words of praise came from the bottom of her heart. Let's be honest. Empress Dowager Han didn't expect that Ji Xiaotang would get along with Qin Ying so well. The mode of Ji Xiaotang and Qin Ying's relationship. It's like a mother and daughter, and it's like a close friend.
Ji Xiaotang can always surprise people, Empress Dowager Han thought silently. I don't know why, she remembered the scene when she summoned Ji Xiaotang into the palace again. At that time, she was still hesitating between getting rid of Ji Xiaotang and letting Ji Xiaotang stay in the palace and give birth to a son for Emperor Longqing.
If...... If Emperor Longqing's body was not so bad, and the situation was not so bad, she left Ji Xiaotang in the palace, Ji Xiaotang would definitely give birth to a smart and healthy little prince for Emperor Longqing, just like Xuan'er.
If that were the case, it would be nice that all her troubles would be solved.
However, in this world, where are the ifs?
"Queen Mother, Ying'er was born like this, I don't dare to take credit. Ying'er, the imperial grandmother praised you, don't thank the imperial grandmother soon. ”
Qin Ying obediently saluted the Empress Dowager Han again.
Empress Dowager Han came back to her senses and smiled at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying didn't leave, so she snuggled up to Ji Xiaotang and stood beside her, stretching out her hand to attract Xuan'er's attention.
Xuan'er's attention was really drawn, he stretched out his hand towards Qin Ying, and called Sister Ah in a milky voice. Qin Ying suddenly smiled.
When Emperor Longqing saw it, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, and he glanced at the little palace maid serving next to him. The little palace maid hurriedly moved the small pestle over to Qin Ying, Qin Ying thanked her seat, and sat down with Ji Xiaotang.
At this time, the scene in the main hall was that Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing were sitting on it, Qin Zhen, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui were sitting on Emperor Longqing's side, and in front of Empress Dowager Han were sitting Ji Xiaotang and three children, big and small.
This scene, at first glance, is quite a bit of happiness and family sharing.
Emperor Longqing looked at it and nodded slightly.
"Good ......"
Emperor Longqing was very happy.
At this time, a junior lieutenant came in to report that Queen Han was coming.
"It's not that you're not in good shape, why did you come here again at this time?" Emperor Longqing frowned slightly and said softly.
"It's rare for a family to get together, and she must be struggling to come." Empress Dowager Han said.
Emperor Longqing nodded, he just said that, and he didn't mean to blame Empress Han, but was really worried about Empress Han's body. has been married for many years, although the two hardly see each other now, but Emperor Longqing still knows what Empress Han's health is.
Empress Dowager Han passed the words, and soon, Empress Han slowly walked in holding the shoulders of the two little palace maids.
Queen Han seems to have lost some weight, even if she wears thick clothes inside and outside, her whole person is still like a long piece of paper, as if she is about to float away with the wind when the wind blows.
When Empress Han arrived in front of Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han, she helped the two little palace maids to bow down.
"Excuse me." Emperor Longqing spoke.
Empress Dowager Han was also busy getting Empress Han up.
"You're weak like this, I've said it a long time ago. Excuse yourself from all the deceit. Now there are no outsiders in this hall, and there is no need for this. Empress Dowager Han's tone to Empress Han was light, but with imperceptible warmth.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Thank you, Your Majesty. Empress Han helped the two little palace maids and slowly stood up.
Waiting for Empress Han to sit down beside Emperor Longqing, Ji Xiaotang and the others were busy saluting Empress Han.
"No courtesy." Queen Han said weakly, and a pair of eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's arms.
Ji Xiaotang immediately realized.
When Queen Han arrived at the main hall, she looked at Xuan'er one by one, and later, her eyes were almost glued to Xuan'er's body and couldn't be torn apart.
Someone I like when I see Xuan'er. Ji Xiaotang has seen a lot. However, Queen Han was like this, but for some reason, Ji Xiaotang's back was a little chilly, and she hugged Xuan'er tighter. even wanted to raise his sleeves to cut off Queen Han's sight and prevent her from seeing Xuan'er.
Maybe Ji Xiaotang's strength is a little bigger, and Xuan'er is a little uncomfortable being held. The little one screamed twice. While twisting the round ~ rolling little body. While raising his face, he looked at Ji Xiaotang in puzzlement.
"Xuan'er." Ji Xiaotang hurriedly changed to a more comfortable posture for Xuan'er, and took the opportunity to speak to move behind Qin Zhen.
Naturally, she couldn't hide behind Qin Zhen, but such a subtle movement was enough.
It was enough for Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing to see it, and they both noticed something unusual.
The two men quickly understood the source of this anomaly.
Emperor Longqing glanced at Empress Han quietly, and the pity in his eyes was far more than a warning. Empress Dowager Han coughed dryly twice.
“…… It's rare that you can struggle to come over and feel better? Empress Dowager Han asked Empress Han.
Queen Han also came back to her senses. With some difficulty, he took his eyes off Xuan'er's body, but there were two more blushes on his pale face.
"After returning to my mother's words. Erchen's health is better, knowing that King Su and King An have entered the palace, thinking that no matter what, they will also meet each other, and the family should not dislike me as a patient! ”
Empress Dowager Han smiled, after all, she was her niece, and she was selected to be the queen of Emperor Longqing back then, and she spoke and acted according to her nature~ Everything is just in case. I have been tormented by illness all these years, and it is also because I have been childless that I have become what I am today.
Queen Han said this, Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui were busy saying that they didn't dare.
"The queen mother doesn't care about her weakness, we are very affectionate."
"Okay, okay." Empress Han's gaze immediately turned to Ji Xiaotang, "It's just weaker, thanks to the efforts of the imperial doctors, it has almost been cured, and when the weather is warm, it should be able to heal." Moreover, although this deficiency is abrasive, it will not be passed on to people. You see, haven't all the people who have served me well all these years? ”
Queen Han's tone was a little eager, and what she said inevitably made Ji Xiaotang feel a little worried.
Ji Xiaotang could only smile and nod.
"Xuan'er and Yu'er have both entered the palace?!" Empress Han then said, her eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's arms again.
"And Ying'er is here too." Emperor Longqing reminded Empress Han.
"Yes, and Ying'er." Queen Han immediately responded with a smile.
"Several children have come, and it is rare to come so well this year." Empress Dowager Han smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Great, come up and show me." Queen Han was still a little anxious.
Qin Yu and Qin Ying stepped forward and saluted Empress Han again.
"Okay, it's getting better and better." Empress Han's gaze hurriedly swept over the faces of the two children, and she didn't stop, and at the same time, she ordered the people serving around her to bring two brocade boxes up, "It's rare for you to come to the palace, especially Yu'er, who has grown so big, it's the first time I've seen it." ”
"In the past, my nephew was weak and didn't dare to enter the palace, so as not to make the imperial aunt worry and sad. Now that the nephew is well, the imperial aunt does not dislike it, and the nephew often comes to the palace to greet the imperial aunt in the future. Qin Yu hurriedly saluted, and his words were extremely fluent, obviously rehearsed in advance.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but glance at Zheng Gui.
Zheng Gui smiled.
Qin Lin and Zheng Gui had taken into account what might happen, and Ji Xiaotang thought secretly in his heart.
Empress Han listened to Qin Yu's words, but she didn't have any emotional fluctuations, she just nodded lightly.
"Good boy, that's a piece of your filial piety. After all, your physical foundation is not good, you still have to take care of it, I don't need you here, as long as you are good, I will rest assured. ”
That's another soft nail.
Qin Yu looked at Qin Lin and Zheng Gui,
Qin Lin and Zheng Gui didn't have any expression on their faces, so Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Queen Han respectfully.
Queen Han asked people to give two brocade boxes to Qin Ying and Qin Yu respectively, saying that they were gifts for the two children. Qin Ying and Qin Yu both saluted and thanked each other.
"And Xuan'er?" Queen Han waved her hand and asked the two of them to step back, she wanted to see Qin Xuan.
Ji Xiaotang took a step forward with Xuan'er in his arms.
"Xuan'er gives the imperial aunt a New Year's greeting." Xuan'er couldn't salute, so Ji Xiaotang hugged him and saluted.
Queen Han was busy and raised her hand to let Ji Xiaotang get up without being polite.
"Come closer, give me a good look." Queen Han said.
Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er and took another step forward.
Queen Han still didn't seem to think it was enough, so she instructed the old lady who was serving beside her to let Xuan'er hold her.
The old lady walked down, looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile on her face, saluted and called the princess, and stretched out her hand to hug Xuan'er.
What kind of illness Queen Han is, Ji Xiaotang is clear in his heart. She can get close to Queen Han herself, but if Xuan'er is close to Queen Han, she will mind very much.
Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er, pretending not to hear Queen Han's words, not understanding what the old lady meant, and thinking of countermeasures quickly in his mind.
"That's it, your body is weak, and Xuan'er has just had a wind, so you can't leave his mother." Emperor Longqing opened his mouth, "Xuan'er is young, and it is rare to see so many unfamiliar people at one time, and not cry or make trouble. Don't scare him! ”
Empress Han kept leaning over, stretching out her hand, and when she heard Emperor Longqing's words, her whole body stiffened a little.
After a while, Empress Han slowly turned her face to look at Emperor Longqing.
"Your Majesty......" Queen Han's eyes were a little wet~, and her voice trembled slightly.
By this time, Ji Xiaotang had already understood very well in his heart.
Queen Han's illness is not getting better, but aggravated, and she can no longer control her emotions in front of everyone. Empress Dowager Han disposed of Ji Xiaolian so neatly. And the death of Ji Xiaolian and the child in her womb also dealt a huge blow to Queen Han, not only physically, but also mentally.
This is called cause and effect.
"If the queen is unwell, go back and rest." Emperor Longqing was unmoved, and said extremely coldly.
It is a recognized fact that the relationship between Emperor Longqing and Empress Han has been very cold. But like this, Emperor Longqing was still too cold to Empress Han.
Empress Han's tears fell.
Emperor Longqing turned his head away and refused to look at Empress Han again. (To be continued.) )
