Empress Dowager Han thought that Ji Xiaotang had understood her hint, and she was also moved and took the bait. At this point, she is very confident. Even if Ji Xiaotang is really indifferent and looks down on everything, it is impossible to be indifferent in the face of this supreme imperial power.

Moreover, Ji Xiaotang is not for himself, but also for Xuan'er.

Empress Dowager Han knew that many women had no desires for themselves, but they wanted to get the best for their children. For the sake of their children, they can do anything.

Ji Xiaotang is obviously still a very motherly woman, this is the first time Ji Xiaotang has taken Xuan'er Seiko, and she can see it in Ji Xiaotang's eyes when she looks at Xuan'er.

Empress Dowager Han thought she had a plan, and her tone of voice became even more cordial.

“…… This world is not peaceful, internal and external troubles, Xiaotang, we have to do it not for ourselves, but also for Xuan'er......" Empress Dowager Han talked with Ji Xiaotang about the situation in the world for a long time, focusing on the various difficulties faced by Daqin, which was quite reassuring.

"Zhen'er has a good relationship with you, and these things must have been mentioned to you usually." Finally, Empress Dowager Han said again.

In Ji Xiaotang's view, every word of Empress Dowager Han has another purpose. Therefore, this sentence also carries the meaning of temptation.

"The prince occasionally tells me about some errands in his hands, but how can the prince compare with the queen mother, the queen mother sees things more profoundly and thoroughly than the prince."

Everyone loves to hear good things, so every time Ji Xiaotang comes to the side of the Empress Dowager Han, he will pick and choose the good ones to say. Even so, it can't really please the Empress Dowager Han. But there was nothing to lose to her.

"Xiaotang, you are sweet-mouthed, and you will please me the most." Empress Dowager Han smiled.

"I'm telling the truth." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Empress Dowager Han laughed again. Only then did she slowly restrain her smile, she reached out to the bookcase, took a few copies and handed them to Ji Xiaotang.

"Queen Mother......" Ji Xiaotang did not answer.

It's not for everyone.

"Just take a look, it's all right. I'll show you, who can say anything. Empress Dowager Han insisted on handing the fold to Ji Xiaotang, and then said, "Take a good look." I'd like to hear from you. ”

Empress Dowager Han motioned to Ji Xiaotang to watch the twists and turns.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Empress Dowager Han's move must have a purpose, so he took the fold and looked at it one by one.

Ji Xiaotang's face slowly changed. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up~ a smug arc.

By the time Ji Xiaotang finished reading all the twists and turns, his face was already a little pale, and his hands trembled slightly. Ji Xiaotang put the fold back on the bookcase.

"Queen Mother......" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Han.

"Xiaotang. You said. What should we do? Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Shunyi Bota...... Children whose minds are only eight ~ nine years old will not be good in this life. Raising him is only beneficial to Daqin, not harmful. ”

The twists and turns that Empress Dowager Han showed to Ji Xiaotang were all officials impeaching Shunyibo, and suggested that Empress Dowager Han cut Shunyibo to the roots. It seems that although Empress Dowager Han rejected the remarks of some officials, she did not completely prevent this matter.

"Xiaotang," Empress Dowager Han said earnestly. "This country is not an idyllic house for ordinary people. It's not a child's house. I know that you have been familiar with the Bible and history with your father since you were a child, but you really don't understand this truth, do you? ”

"The queen mother, Shunyi Bota, is still my sister's husband."

Empress Dowager Han's nose let out a soft cold snort.

If Shunyibo hadn't married Ji Xiaoyun, she would have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, why would she have to call Ji Xiaotang so much trouble and let Ji Xiaotang "decide" Shunyibo's life and death.

Shunyi Bo will die after all, and torturing Ji Xiaotang is her main purpose.

That's right, she wants Ji Xiaotang to choose between power and family affection, between her own safety and power and her loved ones. Just like the choice she had to make when Beiban wanted Changning and his relatives.

Ji Xiaotang and her are the same kind of people, but they are not exactly the same. She has long known that Ji Xiaotang attaches great importance to feelings, especially for her family.

Hurting Ji Xiaotang's family can make Ji Xiaotang suffer more than hurting Ji Xiaotang himself.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Han almost couldn't help laughing.

When she wanted to take revenge on the Ji family and wanted to marry Ji Xiaoyun far away, she fell into Ji Xiaotang's trap and married Ji Xiaoyun to Shunyibo, which not only fulfilled Ji Xiaoyun's wishes, but also made the Ji family marry Shunyibo. The Ji family and Ji Xiaoyun not only did not suffer because of this incident, but lived happily.

Now, Empress Dowager Han wants Ji Xiaotang to kill herself, and finally falls into the trap set by herself.

Does Ji Xiaotang regret it very much now, regretting that he shouldn't have designed Ji Xiaoyun to marry Uncle Shunyi? !

Empress Dowager Han stared at Ji Xiaotang, her eyes shining. She is unwilling to let go of any change in Ji Xiaotang's expression, Ji Xiaotang is in pain, and she will be happy and happy.

Ji Xiaotang did have a painful look on his face.

"Xiaotang, you must have heard a sentence called righteous annihilation." Empress Dowager Han slowly induced Ji Xiaotang, "You are for this country and the people, and for the people of Great Qin." And Xuan'er, for Xuan'er, Xiaotang, you should make the right choice. ”

Ji Xiaotang lowered her eyelids slightly, and Empress Dowager Han only saw the painful look on her face, but she couldn't see the coldness in her eyes.

In Ji Xiaotang's ears, Empress Dowager Han's voice seemed to be a poisonous tongue spitting out letters. She has experienced such a scene once and has never forgotten it. It was in this Cining Palace that Empress Dowager Han once gave her the right to choose.

Whether to choose to marry Qin Zhen or choose to marry Qin Lin.

It was just a trick of the Empress Dowager Han, and it didn't give her the right to choose at all.

She had no choice.

Just like this time.

No matter what she said, even if she knelt down now, crying and begging the Empress Dowager Han to let her let Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun go, the Empress Dowager Han would not agree at all. If she does that. It's just that it added a joke to the Empress Dowager Han and made the Empress Dowager Han even more proud.

She has been trying her best to protect Xie Huaijin, but things are developing. After all, it has come to this point.

The poison of Empress Dowager Han's intentions is almost a sin that Ji Xiaotang has seen in his life.

Empress Dowager Han wants her to be charged with killing her relatives, and she is also killing her sister for herself, for her son, and her childhood playmates.

This is the revenge of the Empress Dowager Han.

"What does the Queen Mother want me to choose?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyelids, looked directly into Empress Dowager Han's eyes, and asked clearly.

"Xiaotang. It's not that I want you to choose, but how do you want to choose? Empress Dowager Han said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang sneered secretly, at this time. Empress Dowager Han is still playing her trick of fake compassion and cat and mouse.

However, in the current situation, she made Empress Dowager Han happy first.

Cat's paw mouse, who exactly is the cat. Who are the rats. Being in the game is not so easy to identify.

"Queen Mother, I have a condition......"

……

When Ji Xiaotang came out of Cining Palace~ , his face was a little bad.

Mama Cheng couldn't enter the study of the Empress Dowager Han with Ji Xiaotang, and when she saw Ji Xiaotang coming out safe and sound, she hurriedly stepped forward.

Ji Xiaotang waved his hand lightly at Mama Cheng, signaling her not to ask or say anything.

"Princess. Your face ...... "Mama Cheng is still concerned."

"This year seems to be colder than usual, and I think the wind is a bit biting." Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes and looked at the palace cornices near and far. The tone of his voice was also a little distant, "Mama take my cloak and ......"

Although it is approaching late autumn now, the sun is shining today, everyone is wearing jackets, and it is not cold at all. But Ji Xiaotang asked for a cloak.

When Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, she brought a bag of clothes with the girl who followed the service, Mama Cheng has always been a well-prepared, and as soon as she turned around, she took the cloak from Xiu'er's hand and served Ji Xiaotang together to cloak the cloak.

Ji Xiaotang raised his hand, put his arm on Mama Cheng's arm, and slowly walked towards the outside of the palace.

This scene was quickly reported to the Empress Dowager Han in Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Han listened carefully to Ji Xiaotang's actions, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, obviously very satisfied.

"Pianpin, are you happy?" Empress Dowager Han asked Yang Pianpian who was serving beside her.

"Pian Pian is very happy. The Queen Mother is wise. No matter how smart Ji Xiaotang is, he can't escape the palm of the Queen Mother. ”

"Hahaha......" Empress Dowager Han laughed happily.

……

In the early winter of the eleventh year of Longqing, Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji went to Huilongguan incense ten miles outside the capital, and the horse driving on the way back suddenly went crazy, and everyone could not be rescued, and even people and cars fell into the mountain stream on the side of the road.

When the officers and soldiers patrolling the city arrived, they went down to the mountain stream with the people of Shunyi Bofu to check, the crazy horse had fallen to death, and the carriage was also broken and tattered, and the Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji in the carriage were all thrown out of the carriage and died of anger.

The family of Mrs. Ji of Shunyi Bo rushed to hear the news and cried loudly in front of the corpses of the two, and Ji's mother even cried twice, thanks to the arrival of the imperial doctor of King An's Mansion and the timely application of needles, Ji's mother was rescued.

Subsequently, the bodies of Shunyi Bo and his wife Ji were transported back to Shunyi Bofu, and the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing got the news, expressed their grief, and issued a decree ordering the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for handling the funeral of Shunyi Bo and his wife, and bury the two in accordance with the etiquette of the Duke and the Duchess of Guo.

Uncle Shunyi and his wife unfortunately passed away, leaving a young daughter under the age of one named Qi Yongshou. Prince An and Princess An entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager Han for instructions, and the Empress Dowager Han gave permission, and Prince An took Qi Yongshou to King An's mansion to raise him personally, and King An accepted Qi Yongshou as his adopted daughter and entered the palace to ask for the title of his adopted daughter.

Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing issued a decree to crown Qi Yongshou as the county lord, and Qin Yingxiang, the eldest daughter of King An's mansion, was known as the county lord of Yongshou in history.

The nickname of the lord of Yongshou is seven catties.

……

The upper room of the Xuchun Hall of the Anwang Mansion

It's winter, and the wind is biting outside, but the house on the spring hall is warm.

Ji Xiaotang was sitting on a big kang covered with red gorilla felt, wearing a homely white close-fitting jacket and a gray squirrel skin skirt of the same color, and was watching Mama Cheng, the nurse and others change clothes for Xuan'er and Qijin.

The two little babies were originally wearing plain clothes, but now they want to go out to Xinhuatang, so they deliberately change to non-plain ones, but they avoid the particularly festive colors of red and green.

Ji Xiaotang chose goose yellow for both children.

"Let's change the princess's clothes, too." Mama Cheng said to Ji Xiaotang, "This prince should also come over." ”

Ji Xiaotang said a good word, then nodded and got up.

Jin'er and Xiu'er have already prepared her clothes for going out. The two children are all dressed in goose yellow, and Ji Xiaotang changed to lake blue, and the embroidery pattern is gorgeous but elegant.

She changed her clothes and came to see her two children.

The two children are only a few months apart, they are all round ~ rolling little bodies, red fluttering little ~ faces, big eyes flickering, under the background of goose yellow jackets and pants, they look even more pink and jade, which is particularly cute.

The two little guys seemed to know that Ji Xiaotang was going to take them to his grandfather's house, so they were extremely cheerful. Especially Xuan'er, he likes to go to Xinhuatang the most.

The people of Xinhuatang love Xuan'er, almost to the point of doting.

"Xuan'er baby, seven-pound baby, when I see my great-grandmother, my grandfather and grandmother must be well-behaved and don't cry, otherwise, next time my mother and father will go by themselves and won't take you there." Ji Xiaotang coaxed the two children.

Xuan'er could already understand what Ji Xiaotang said, so she called her mother anxiously, oh ah said it, as if to guarantee that she would definitely listen to Ji Xiaotang's words, and she would be very well-behaved.

Qijin is smaller than Xuan'er, not like Xuan'er talking so much, but he also echoes his brother, oh oh screaming.

The voices of the two children added a festive and lively atmosphere to the warm room.

"Okay, mother knows, you are all very well-behaved." Ji Xiaotang smiled, kissed seven catties, and then kissed Xuan'er.

The two little dolls giggled.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a little girl opened the curtain, and Qin Zhen walked in from outside.

"It's a little cold outside today, so you need to wear more." Qin Zhen entered the room and spoke.

"Got it, lord." Ji Xiaotang responded with a smile, and then asked, "Is the prince's business busy?" ”

"We're done, let's go." Qin Zhen nodded and stepped forward.

Xuan'er saw Qin Zhen coming, and immediately threw herself on Qin Zhen's body on the kang.

Of course, the girl who slipped underground, of course, would not let Xuan'er fall, but Qin Zhen still grabbed ahead of these people, opened his hands, and hugged Xuan'er into his arms.

"Daddy...... ......" Xuan'er shouted in a vague voice, while smearing saliva on Qin Zhen's chin and face.

Qin Zhen pretended to hide and couldn't help laughing.

His laughter encouraged Xuan'er again, and Xuan'er stretched out her chubby arm to hug Qin Zhen's neck, kissing even more vigorously.

"You two are like this, let's not go out." Ji Xiaotang said angrily.

"Okay, okay, Xuan'er will stay, and kiss your grandfather and grandmother later." Qin Zhen smiled and kissed Xuan'er's head.

"Oh, oh." Xuan'er happily agreed.

"How's Seven Pounds today?" Qin Zhen handed Xuan'er to the nurse and picked up seven catties. (To be continued.) )
