There is only one thing that can make Changning temporarily stop and cultivate one's self-cultivation, or one person, and that person is Qi Younian.

The eldest princess Qin Min died, and Qi Younian had to keep the system. But Changning couldn't wait, she even didn't hesitate to depreciate her identity, wanting to marry Qi Younian within 100 days.

Empress Dowager Han could give an order to marry Qi Younian and Changning, but she really didn't have the face to ask for it clearly. If you can't ask for it clearly, you can only signal it to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion through private channels.

And the meaning expressed by the Weiwu Marquis Mansion in private did not absolutely reject Changning's daughter-in-law, but people also said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man is Changning's usual temperament, but it is 108,000 miles away from the word "virtuous".

This kind of answer from the Weiwu Hou Mansion made the Empress Dowager Han and Princess Changning see hope, Princess Changning hoped to marry into the Weiwu Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and the Empress Dowager Han also hoped to use this opportunity to restrain Changning's reckless and reckless temperament.

This is the whole reason why Changning has not been out of the deep palace these days, and he has cultivated his self-cultivation.

Changning made such a gesture to ask Qi Younian's mother, Mrs. Hou of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, to nod. At that time, even if Qi Younian was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't help but agree.

After all, Ji Xiaotang has already married into King An's Mansion, which is the thought of Qi Younian. Without Ji Xiaotang, can Qi Younian not marry a wife for the rest of his life, since he marries a wife, it is better to follow the wishes of his parents, accept the marriage of Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing, and marry Changning.

"I hope that after these days, her temperament will be convergent." Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly and said casually.

"I can't tell." Zheng Gui smiled coldly. "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. If only her character could be changed, in this world. Almost all of them are saints. Although the status of the princess is noble, with the mighty Marquis Mansion and Ayou, it is not necessary to marry a princess to glorify the court. ”

Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang.

"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, it's not that I speak badly, who really marries her and enters the door, so that there will be no peace."

Ji Xiaotang didn't show it on his face, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Zheng Gui actually said such explicit words in front of her.

Zheng Gui also seemed to know that her words were too direct, so she smiled at Ji Xiaotang.

"This is only in front of Sister Xiaotang. I just told such a big truth, and no one else could say that. ”

Ji Xiaotang also smiled: "On this point, I happen to agree with Sister Gui's opinion. ”

Zheng Gui heard this. The smile on his face is even better.

Ji Xiaotang raised the wine cup in his hand. Gesture to Zheng Gui. Zheng Gui also raised the wine cup in his hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both drank the warm wine in the wine cup.

King Su Qin Lin also didn't want Qi You to be the lord of the year!

It's not hard to understand. Qin Lin finally took over Qi Younian, if Qi Younian married Changning, the relationship with Empress Dowager Han would be closer. If Qi Younian fell to the Empress Dowager Han, then all Qin Lin's previous efforts would be in vain.

Not only would Qin Lin not watch Qi Younian marry Changning, but he was afraid that he would have his own arrangements for Qi Younian's relatives.

Qin Lin will definitely try to marry someone from his own side to Qi Younian, but the girls of the right age in the Zheng family already have families now. But. In addition to the Zheng family, Qin Lin naturally has other loyal followers.

Ji Xiaotang paid attention. While talking to Zheng Gui slowly, he quietly inquired about the situation of the Zheng family and his relatives. Slowly, Ji Xiaotang heard some signs.

On top of the banquet, naturally it was not only Zheng Gui who needed Ji Xiaotang to pay special attention.

Those who were invited to the banquet today also included Ji Xiaotang's mother's family.

The Yang family didn't come today, and Ji Xiaoyun and Zhou Nianhong were both invited. Ji Xiaoyun was invited by Ji Xiaotang to relax, and Zhou Nianhong was invited, because Ji Xiaotang wanted to elevate her identity and slowly find a good family for her.

After all, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji both entrusted her, and she had a good impression of Zhou Nianhong.

Ji Xiaoyun and Zhou Nianhong only appeared twice at Ji Xiaotang's banquet, and the matchmakers who said they were close to each other all boarded the door of Xinhuatang.

Although Ji Xiaoyun is a widow, she is young, her family background is becoming more and more prominent, she is still the sister of Princess An, and she also has a rich dowry, which is a good match for many people.

The people who came to the door to marry Ji Xiaoyun were not low, and among them were the second master Ji and the second wife of Ji who looked quite good, however, Ji Xiaoyun's family affairs were not settled.

Because Ji Xiaoyun doesn't like it.

There are also those who come to the door to marry Zhou Nianhong, but the door is a little worse, and most of them are under the idea of taking advantage of the relationship between the Ji family and the Anwangfu. Yao and Zhou Nianhong have no opinions, saying that it is Zhou Nianhong's family affairs, and it is all up to the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang.

The Ji family didn't want to wronged Zhou Nianhong like this, and Ji Xiaotang didn't look down on those people, she felt that Zhou Nianhong deserved better.

Both of them are of the age to be married, and now they are sitting at the banquet, and they are also quite concerned by the female guests.

Zhou Nianhong was generous, but Ji Xiaoyun was a little ...... Widowed.

"Sister, have a warm drink." Ji Xiaotang asked people to pour wine for Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun raised her head when she heard Ji Xiaotang speak, but obediently took the wine cup and drank it slowly.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, she could see that Ji Xiaoyun had something on her mind. If she didn't take the initiative to ask, I don't know when Ji Xiaoyun would say to her. In this matter, Ji Xiaotang has already made up his mind and will not take the initiative to ask Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun has grown a lot, and it's time to make up ideas for her own affairs.

The chrysanthemum ~ flower banquet dispersed happily, and Ji Xiaotang left Ji Xiaoyun and Zhou Nianhong to talk for a while, and then sent the carriage of the palace to send the two people back.

"Where is the prince?" Ji Xiaotang asked the people who served.

When she came back from the garden, Qin Zhen was no longer in the study.

Yao'er stayed in the Xuchun Hall to serve, and when she heard the words, she came forward to talk back, saying that Qin Zhen was originally staying in the study, and it was the right Changshi of the palace who came back from an errand outside, so Qin Zhen went to Duofuxuan in front.

Qin Zhen has been gone for a while, and it seems that You Changshi's errand this time is a little troublesome.

Ji Xiaotang was secretly attentive. Don't ask any more.

At this time, an attendant came in to report that there was a visitor from outside. Ask to see the princess.

“…… It's the wife of the Marquis of the Mighty Marquis Mansion......"

It turned out to be the Qin family who came, and Ji Xiaotang was secretly surprised.

Because of the observance, the ladies of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion have been at home lately and do not come out to socialize. However, Ji Xiaotang married into King An's mansion, but the Qin family sent someone away and gave Ji Xiaotang a heavy gift as a makeup.

Because of marrying into the Anwang Mansion. Ji Xiaotang has a relationship with the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

But Ji Xiaotang entered the mansion, and no one else came to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion except for Qi Younian. Today. The Qin clan suddenly came, and Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be surprised.

Surprised to surprised, Ji Xiaotang's face did not show any light, but immediately asked people to invite the Qin family in.

Wait for the Qin clan to be brought into the Xuchun Hall. Ji Xiaotang got up to greet him.

The Qin family was busy saluting Ji Xiaotang according to his grade. Ji Xiaotang also hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged the Qin family.

Except for the day after meeting at Jingci'an, Ji Xiaotang never talked about the Qin family again. Looking at the Qin family now, Ji Xiaotang found that the Qin family's face was getting more and more pale, and there was also a touch of blue-black under his eyes.

Qin's appearance can be said to be very haggard.

Ji Xiaotang asked the Qin family to sit down and speak.

"I was supposed to come to visit, but I was afraid that it would be abrupt...... Ji Xiaotang asked people to send fragrant tea and fresh fruits. While politely greeting the Qin family, he asked people to go to the professor and call Qin Ying.

The Qin clan is here. said that he was visiting her, but he always wanted to see his granddaughter. Speaking of which, the two grandparents haven't seen each other for a few days. Ji Xiaotang heard that the relationship between the Qin family and Qin Ying was very good and quite intimate.

"I've wanted to come a long time ago," the Qin family hurriedly took Ji Xiaotang's words and apologized to Ji Xiaotang, "It's just that I've been a little bad lately, and I'm afraid that I'll give the princess too much." Moreover, the family is guarding the system, and it is not easy to come out and walk around, I am afraid that people will have any taboos, that is, the princess here, or I am abrupt. ”

"Everyone's relatives, different from others, don't be too careful, madam." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, thinking in his heart that Qin's words were still so decent, and it was not easy for her to come to visit her at this time.

The Qin clan should do this for Qin Ying's sake. After all, the Qin family is Qin Ying's stepmother, and she can't help but care about the only blood left by her only daughter. Moreover, the fact that she moved Qin Ying to Xuchun Hall to educate has now spread all over the capital.

For the sake of Qin Ying, the Qin clan must come.

Thinking like this, and thinking of the Qin family's temperament, Ji Xiaotang refused to say more.

The Qin family had a lot to say to Ji Xiaotang. She greeted her first and said some inconsequential things, and gradually, the topic really turned to Qin Ying.

“…… The princess is willing to bother for Ying'er, and I, as a grandmother, know it, and I am very grateful. It was Ying'er's grandfather who learned the news in the north, and he also wrote back a letter, thanking the princess very much, and said, From now on, we can rest assured......"

Sure enough, it was for Qin Ying, Ji Xiaotang smiled and listened to Qin's words.

"I am very close to Ying'er, and Ying'er is smart, well-behaved and obedient, it is also my blessing to have her by my side, I dare not be so grateful to the marquis and his wife. Speaking of which, that's my duty. ”

Ji Xiaotang said that it was her duty to take care of Qin Ying, but the Qin family obviously didn't think so.

She is a national surname, although the relationship with the royal family is far away, but she is still a side branch of the royal family, whether it is in the boudoir or in the mansion of the mighty marquis, there are many family members.

The Qin family has seen too many things, and she knows that Ji Xiaotang should take care of Qin Ying according to the etiquette.

But how to look at it is completely up to Ji Xiaotang to have the final say.

Ji Xiaotang could have taken advantage of it, but he didn't do it. After Ji Xiaotang entered the mansion, everything he did for Qin Ying was really for Qin Ying's good.

For this reason, the Qin family couldn't help but be grateful to Ji Xiaotang, and couldn't help but come to see Ji Xiaotang.

"Originally, Ying'er was young, and I was always worried,...... Ah You let me rest assured at that time......" Qin said words of gratitude, and suddenly mentioned Qi Younian.

However, Qin just said a word and changed the topic, but Ji Xiaotang's heart moved.

She suddenly understood something.

For example, why did Qin Ying meet her for the first time, not only did she not have any antipathy towards her, but wanted to be close from the bottom of her heart. For another example, she made some adjustments to the people around Qin Ying later, and also laid off a few people who were originally Qin Ying's personal service. Originally, the people who belonged to the Weiwu Hou Mansion, but there was no movement at all from the Wei Wu Hou Mansion, and for example, today's visit from the Qin family.

It turned out to be because of Qi Younian.

It was Qi Younian who made Qin Ying have no strange feelings about him, let Qin Ying get close to him, and it was Qi Younian who persuaded the Qin family and made the Qin family trust him.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes. Hide the emotions that flow in your eyes.

At this time, someone outside reported that the county lord was coming.

The voice landed. There was a little girl who opened the curtain, and Qin Ying walked in surrounded by all the girls.

Qin Ying's eyes lit up when she saw the Qin family, but she still walked up to Ji Xiaotang in an orderly manner. Salute Ji Xiaotang.

"Say hello to my mother." Qin Ying said obediently.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and raised his hand. Let Qin Ying get up.

"Go and see your grandmother. Your grandmother misses you so much. ”

Qin Ying agreed, and sure enough, she turned around and saluted the Qin family, and called her grandmother affectionately ~ affectionately.

Qin sighed, and pulled Qin Ying to his side to take a look. The more carefully the Qin family looked, the more satisfied they became, no matter who they were, they had to admit that Ji Xiaotang raised Qin Ying very well.

Moreover, the Qin clan also discovered. Compared with before, Qin Ying seemed to be a little more lively.

This. It was the one that made the Qin family the happiest.

When Qin Ying's birth~ mother was still there, Qin Ying was also lively, but after the loss of her mother, although no one in Anwangfu dared to snub Qin Ying, and Qin Zhen was also very concerned about Qin Ying, Qin Ying's temperament gradually changed, not as lively as in the past, her face often appeared depressed, and her speech and demeanor became a little dull.

But now Qin Ying seems to have returned to the way she used to be when Princess Qi was still there.

Qin Shi rubbed Qin Ying, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little hot.

"Ying'er, tell your grandmother, what did you learn from the professor today?" Ji Xiaotang saw that the two ancestors and grandchildren stopped talking, so he said with a smile.

Speaking of homework, Qin Ying immediately got out of Qin's arms, stood beside Ji Xiaotang, and then learned all the homework that the professor taught today.

After finishing learning, Qin Ying blinked her big eyes and looked at Ji Xiaotang first, and then went to see the Qin family.

"Very good, Ying'er has made progress again." Ji Xiaotang praised Qin Ying.

Qin Ying's eyes brightened.

"With the upbringing of a talented woman's mother, our Ying'er has also become a little talented girl." Qin also said with a smile.

Qin Ying became more and more happy.

However, things to make her happier are yet to come.

"It's rare for your grandmother to come to see you, the rest of today's classes will be waived, Ying'er will accompany your grandmother to talk." As Ji Xiaotang spoke, he ordered someone to go to the front to pass a message to the professor who taught Qin Ying.

Qin Ying's happy mouth was a little uncontrollable, no matter what, she was still a child, and being able to do half a day's homework and play to her heart's content was an unexpected joy for her.

Moved to Xuchun Hall, Qin Ying quickly became familiar with Ji Xiaotang, and once tried to be coquettish in front of Ji Xiaotang, wanting to skip class or learn less. However, Ji Xiaotang is easy to say to her, every time such a topic is mentioned, Ji Xiaotang always pretends not to understand.

Ji Xiaotang ignored her, she didn't dare to tell Qin Zhen, she could only go to school every day.

However, although Ji Xiaotang did not cut her homework as she wished, she would occasionally talk to Qin Zhen about it, or simply make her own decisions and give her a holiday. Whenever this time is almost the happiest time for her, she becomes closer and more in awe of Ji Xiaotang.

I have to say that Ji Xiaotang is still very good at getting along with children.

"Don't delay Ying'er's homework for me," Qin Shi was busy and excused herself, saying that she had come out for a while, had seen Ji Xiaotang, and had also seen Qin Ying, she was very relieved and was going back.

Ji Xiaotang naturally refused to let the Qin family go, so he wanted to leave the Qin family for dinner.

“…… is still guarding the system, and when I came to the door today, it was already abrupt, and I really couldn't stay for a long time. After a while, I will come to visit the princess and visit Ying'er. "Qin is very persistent.

Ji Xiaotang also has a slight understanding of Qin's personality.

The Qin family is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and looks supple on the outside, but in fact, it is difficult to change the things that are decided.

This is very similar to Qi Younian.

Or it should be said that at this point, Qi Younian inherited his mother.

Because of this, Ji Xiaotang couldn't be angry with the Qin family.

“…… It's just going to disappoint Ying'er. Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Qin Ying's face was indeed reluctant and disappointed, but she was well educated, and she knew that the Qin family wanted to abide by the system, so she refused to complain.

"Madame is inconvenient to go out, one day I will ask someone to send Ying'er to the Weiwuhou Mansion to accompany Madame more." Ji Xiaotang said again.

Qin was overjoyed: "Thank you so much princess." ”

Qin said goodbye to Qin Ying and left with a heart full of comfort.

Qin Ying looked at Ji Xiaotang with a blank eye, and there were some things she wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

Ji Xiaotang smiled secretly, deliberately did not speak, and saw that the brilliance in Qin Ying's eyes gradually dimmed, and his head was about to droop~ Pull it down, so he smiled and spoke.

"Now that the word has been passed on to the professor, it's hard to change it. Ying'er's remaining homework today is still waived, but she is not allowed to be naughty. ”

"Thank you, Princess." Qin Ying saluted happily.

Ji Xiaotang gave her a lot of fun Western gadgets, she didn't have time to play well, she had to have enough fun today. Qin Ying happily walked back, even forgetting all about the little frustration that Qin had left.

"It's still a child." Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Ying's back and said with a smile.

Seeing Qin Ying becoming more and more lively, Ji Xiaotang was also happy.

"Mrs. Hou Ye is a very thoughtful person." Putting down Qin Ying, Ji Xiaotang thought of the Qin family again, and said to Mama Cheng who was serving beside him.

"The princess saw it very much. Mrs. Hou Ye looks ordinary, but for so many years, she has been able to manage the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, so that the concubines can bow their heads to their ears, where can it be an ordinary woman. Mama Cheng also said with a smile.

Thinking about Qi Younian's temperament, words and deeds, Ji Xiaotang doesn't feel strange about the Qin family's unusualness.

For a mother there is a son. Moreover, Qi Younian still has a father like Wei Wuhou.

Ji Xiaotang was sighing, but Qin Zhen hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" When Ji Xiaotang saw Qin Zhen's face, he immediately knew that something big had happened, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's something going on from the north." (To be continued.) )
