Chapter Seventy-One: Turning Around

Why did Qi Younian beat Qin Zhen, no need to ask, it was because of her. No wonder the people she met would look at her with such eyes, but I am afraid that there has never been such a thing in the capital in recent decades. At least, at their level, not yet.

Ji Xiaotang clenched his palm slightly, and then let go again. There was no expression on her face, but she was not unworried in her heart.

"Let's go home quickly, my father and mother should have known the news and are looking forward to my return." Ji Xiaotang said to Mama Cheng, as well as the entourage of the lieutenants and palace maids.

The news she said was not referring to anything else, but the news that she was finally allowed to go home by the Queen Mother.

Regarding Qin Zhen and Qi Younian, since no one came to tell her publicly, she could only pretend not to know.

From the palace to Xinhuatang, all the official cars and sedans encountered along the way avoided them, and Ji Xiaotang soon returned to Xinhuatang.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji already knew the news, and took Ji Xiaoyun and Changsheng to wait for Ji Xiaotang in front of the second gate early.

Ji Xiaotang got out of the carriage, and Mrs. Ji couldn't help but walk up quickly.

Before she could speak, Mrs. Ji's eyes turned red.

"Mother......" Ji Xiaotang called.

Mrs. Ji immediately took Ji Xiaotang in her arms.

"Xiaotang, my Xiaotang ......" Mrs. Ji Er cried.

It has been less than a month since Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, and Mrs. Ji Er naturally misses her, but not so. Mrs. Ji is like this, mainly because her daughter went to live in the palace for a few days, and finally came back, but she was going to get married soon.

If Ji Xiaotang marries the person she wants, it's just the so-called finger marriage. It is clear that the Empress Dowager Han first beat the mandarin ducks, and then messed up the mandarin duck score.

Ji Xiaotang has suffered a lot of grievances, but for the sake of a large family. She couldn't resist yet.

Mrs. Ji Er's distress Ji Xiaotang was to the extreme.

Ji Xiaotang let Mrs. Ji hold her, breathing in her mother's unique fragrance and feeling the warmth of her mother's arms. She took a few deep breaths, no matter what time it was, her mother's arms were the most healing and warmest place.

Mrs. Ji Er cried very sadly, Ji Xiaotang knew. Mother is distressed about herself. Ji Xiaotang slowly broke free from Mrs. Ji's arms and gently patted Mrs. Ji's back.

"Mother, I'm fine. Isn't that good for me? ”

Second Master Ji also came over with Changsheng and Ji Xiaoyun, Ji Xiaoyun was already crying, and her eyes were moist at the moment~ moist, and Changsheng was still ignorant. was infected by Mrs. Ji's emotions. I even sobbed. Only Master Ji Er, after all, is a big man, his wife and children cry, he can't cry.

"Daddy......"

Ji Xiaotang shouted, and before Second Master Ji could speak, Changsheng threw himself on Ji Xiaotang's lap.

"Sister, are you leaving, don't you want to live forever?" Changsheng hugged Ji Xiaotang's big ~ legs. Wow wow and cried for a while. cried like a cat's face.

Mrs. Ji Er's crying by Changsheng eased her emotions a lot.

"Little kids, what nonsense!" Mrs. Ji Er was disgusted with Changsheng.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly bent down and picked up Changsheng.

"Good Changsheng, don't cry. Sister Ah will not go anywhere, let alone live forever. ”

On the one hand, he greeted Ji Xiaoyun, as well as Ji Xiaomu and Yang and others who came out to greet him, Ji Xiaotang simply hugged Changsheng and followed everyone to Xuanhua Hall.

Along the way, Ji Xiaotang explained to Changsheng that she may not live in Xinhuatang in the future, but she is still in the capital. Not only will she come back to see Changsheng often, but Changsheng can also visit her at any time.

"Just like now, Sister Ah lives in Yanhua Hall, and you live in Jinghua Hall with your mother and father, and you also live separately. In the future, Sister's yard will be farther away than now, as long as Changsheng is not afraid of hard work, everything will be the same as now. ”

Ji Xiaotang also brought his younger brother out of experience, and Changsheng was coaxed into tears by her words, and no longer shouted that Sister didn't want him.

"Still a child!" Second Master Ji sighed.

It is easy for children to come and go, because they do not yet really understand the joys and sorrows of this world.

When I went to Xuanhuatang to see Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji's eyes were also red.

"It's a happy event." Ji Xiaotang asked, knowing that Mrs. Ji was in good health, as for her matter, she only said this simply.

This sentence shows Ji Xiaotang's attitude, and it also sets the tone of Xinhuatang's treatment of this matter.

The marriage of a girl is almost the most important thing in her life, and Ji Xiaotang, as the county lord, is married to the prince of the dynasty as a princess, which is of course a great joy.

Xinhuatang has already received the holy decree here, and knows that the wedding date is set for the second day of August.

"Time is a little tighter," Ji Xiaomu said, "However, many things in the mansion are ready-made, and they can be taken out and used." ”

Regarding Ji Xiaotang's marriage, Ji Xiaomu said that he was doing his best, if there was anything, the second master Ji told him. And all the things in the warehouse of Xinhuatang are used by Ji Xiaotang.

Second Master Ji nodded and told Ji Xiaotang. In the past few days that Ji Xiaotang has entered the palace, Ji Xiaomu has taken on a lot of things at home. And Yang's body finally got better, and he began to help Mrs. Ji Er with housework.

Ji Xiaotang nodded to Ji Xiaomu and Yang: "Then there is Brother Lao and sister-in-law." ”

Ji Xiaotang's marriage is mainly pretended.

"I have sent people back to Qingyuan, and I have ordered them to go down, asking them not to delay on the road, and the things from their hometown will be delivered soon." In addition, they also have to send people to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy rulers, make head jewelry in the silver building in Beijing, and hire embroidery girls and so on.

When Ji Xiaotang enters the palace, he will definitely make a family affair, so Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji have already arranged it in advance.

In Xuanhuatang, Ji Er, Ji Er's wife, Ji Xiaomu, and the Yang family all set up a charter for everything, and Ji Xiaotang didn't worry about it.

"Although Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue are young, this time they want to help them go through the experience, which is also a piece of their heart for Xiaotang." Ji Xiaomu called Ji Xiaoqin and Ji Xiaoxue to get up and salute Ji Xiaotang.

The family is harmonious and works together. is exactly what Ji Xiaotang wants to see the most.

Second Master Ji told Ji Xiaotang another piece of good news: "Your uncle came back with a letter, the fleet has returned to the city, and it is estimated that it will be on your birthday." Your uncle will be able to come to the capital. ”

Master Ji San is at sea, and it is inconvenient to communicate with Xinhuatang, of course, he will not know that Ji Xiaotang has set up a family affair. However, Master Ji San remembered Ji Xiaotang's birthday, and arranged it so deliberately to come back to celebrate Ji Xiaotang's birthday.

"Really, that's great." Ji Xiaotang heard the news. I can't help but be overjoyed.

She thought that when she got married, Master Ji San would not come back.

If the uncle can give her a marriage, it will be a better thing.

"Naturally, he was asked to send it." Old Lady Ji and Second Master Ji both nodded and smiled.

A little girl brought tea up. The Yang family personally cooked tea and served it to everyone, and when they arrived at Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaotang took the tea cup, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he pulled Yang and sat down beside him.

Yang is no longer the scrawny look he had when he first returned. The flesh on the body has grown back a lot, but it is still thin.

It's thin, not slim.

She will need more time before she fully recovers. It may never be fully recovered, but can only be slowly forgotten.

"Sister-in-law should pay attention to taking care of her body, and in the future, this family will have to be entrusted to her sister-in-law." Ji Xiaotang asked Yang about some daily life, and then instructed Yang. "I came back from the palace, and the Queen Mother rewarded me with some things for self-cultivation. I'll send it to my sister-in-law later. ”

"Thank you Xiaotang, I will." Yang nodded gratefully.

The Yang family and Ji Xiaomu have a deep relationship as husband and wife, and they can come back alive, and they are only grateful to the Ji family, to Ji Xiaomu, and to Ji Xiaotang. Moreover, after she came back, the whole family treated her very well, and they did not underestimate her because of the Yang family. It can be said that not only did everyone not discriminate against her, but they pitied her even more because of what happened to her.

At this point, except for Ji Xiaomu, it is Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji who are the worst.

During this time, Yang recuperated, and then came out to help with housework, and his relationship with Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji became deeper and deeper.

“…… It's my blessing......" The Yang family was full of gratitude, and at the same time very guilty, "Because of the Yang family, because of me, your eldest brother is ......"

Ji Xiaomu is the son of the Ji family, although he was influenced by the Yang family, but with Ji Xiaotang in the future, his future in the court is still unlimited. It's just that there is a premise for this, that is, he completely severed relations with the Yang family.

Ji Xiaomu took back the Yang family, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to giving up the future, especially since Ji Xiaomu is still a civil official.

"I'm already thinking about this in my heart, and my eldest brother doesn't have to worry about getting pregnant. It's a sister-in-law, who only takes care of housework, which is also a waste. "Ji Xiaotang already has a draft of these things, but the time is not yet ripe, so he refuses to say it first.

She only reassured Ji Xiaomu and Yang.

There is nothing that Ji Xiaotang promised that cannot be done.

Ji Xiaomu and the Yang family couldn't help but be happy, and their spirits were even more sufficient.

After another conversation, Ji Xiaomu and the Yang family took Ji Xiaoqin and Ji Xiaoxue down, Ji Xiaomu was going to start handling Ji Xiaotang's marriage, and the Yang family was going to the kitchen to watch people prepare the banquet.

Ji Xiaotang is back, and everyone wants to have a reunion dinner.

"Xiaotang's family affairs finally fell on King An." Old Mrs. Ji sighed softly, compared to Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji, she was not so sad. "Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together. This is also a fateful marriage. ”

The older Mrs. Ji gets, the more she believes in the destiny of heaven. She believes that Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen are predestined for marriage.

This is not just to comfort Ji Xiaotang, the old lady really thinks so in her heart.

"In this life, how can there be so many wishful things. In my opinion, Prince An is very good. Whether you look like a person, you have an identity, and you are also sincere. ”

In fact, as early as when Qin Zhen first saw Mrs. Ji, he had already won Mrs. Ji's favor.

Old Mrs. Ji doesn't care about things now, if she is allowed to take care of things, between Qi Younian and Qin Zhen, she may not necessarily choose anyone.

"What you think is good now may not always be good in the future. What you don't like now, it may be just what you want in the future. Xiaotang, although you read a lot, you are still young. In this matter, just listen to your grandmother. My grandmother has lived a long time, and she has always seen something. Grandmother thinks that you and Prince An have a good family affair. ”

Mrs. Ji is kind enough. Of course, Ji Xiaotang will not refute.

"Thank you, grandmother, for your enlightenment. I'll remember my grandmother's words. Ji Xiaotang said.

"That's good, you're a smart girl, you know what to do best." Old Mrs. Ji nodded.

Ji Xiaotang came out of Xuanhua Hall. went to Jinghuatang's study again, and this time, Mrs. Ji Er also followed up with the study.

Ji Xiaotang is in the palace, and they have also heard a lot of news, but they still have to listen to what Ji Xiaotang himself said.

"These days in the palace, the first ......" Ji Xiaotang understood the mood of Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji, so he told him about the things in the palace.

Overall, Ji Xiaotang is doing quite well in the palace. Except for the most important marriage.

"Ayou and the prince have a fight, does Daddy know?" This is something that Ji Xiaotang is anxious to know.

Second Master Ji nodded, of course he knew about it. And it is well known.

"As soon as your intention to marry comes out, Ayou's side will know. He hurried into the palace, and met the prince coming out of the palace. ”

When the two met, Qi Younian's eyes turned red.

"Ayou accused the prince of snatching love. Despite years of friendship. And the prince said. Anything can be done, but this one cannot. The prince also said that you chose him. ”

As a result, the two of them turned their faces without saying a few words.

"It was Ayou's hand that made the first move."

And Qin Zhen's reaction was relatively restrained.

But even if Qin Zhen's reaction was not restrained and he fought alone, he was not Qi Younian's opponent.

"They've all brought servants, right?" Ji Xiaotang asked. She didn't ask about Qin Zhen's injury.

"It's all with people." However, only two people made a move, and the men on both sides were on the side, and they didn't even step forward to pull the rack. In the end, the chief historian of the palace saw that Qin Zhen was injured, so he led someone to step forward and pull the two apart.

There was no group fight with people from both sides. And although Qi Younian and Qin Zhen brought swords, they fought with their bare hands.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly determined.

"That's good, even if it hurts, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones." The most important thing is that he will not give Empress Dowager Han a truth.

If the two sides fight in groups, it will be a big deal, and Empress Dowager Han will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to pinch the two.

After settling down, Ji Xiaotang asked about Qin Zhen's injury.

"Said it was broken in the forehead." This is a wound on the face, as for the body, Qin Zhen has been beaten a lot by Qi Younian.

Although there is a certain age gap between the two, they have known each other since childhood, and they have a good relationship, and later Qin Zhen became Qi Younian's brother-in-law.

Today, the two are afraid that it will be difficult to shake hands and make peace from now on.

This is something that Ji Xiaotang does not want to see, but at the same time, he is also mentally prepared.

Someone is troubled, and someone rejoices.

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Han sent Ji Xiaotang away, and asked Feng Changshuo to tell her about the fight between Qin Zhen and Qi Younian. Hearing Qi Younian draw his sword, cut off the corners of his robe, and say in public that he would cut off his robe with Qin Zhen, Empress Dowager Han couldn't help the smile on the corner of her mouth.

She smiled happily.

"I'm still young, I just like to be willful."

"Empress Dowager Qi, I'm afraid it's not a matter of will. The little marquis should really hate Prince An, after all, the hatred of taking his wife is not the same as the sky. Although Prince An didn't say anything on the surface, his face was also very ugly. The little marquis made him lose face, and Prince An did not show his feelings, but he was afraid that he also hated the little marquis in his heart. ”

Empress Dowager Han was noncommittal to Feng Changshuo's words, and the smile on the corner of her mouth did not decrease.

"I know him, Prince An, and he is not a stingy person. Ayo's child, sometimes a bit stubborn, can also distinguish priorities. The two of them had a quarrel, but after a while, it would be fine. ”

When Empress Dowager Han said this, she immediately ordered someone, passed on her message, and went separately to reprimand Qin Zhen and Qi Younian.

However, as soon as these two people were sent away, Empress Dowager Han immediately called two more people in, one was sent to King An's Mansion to send medicine to Qin Zhen, and the other was sent to the Mighty Marquis Mansion to send a reward to Qi Younian.

"Queen Mother......" Feng Changshuo looked at it from the side, and the expression on his face was respectful and admiring. He was deeply impressed by Empress Dowager Han's methods, and he never concealed this.

Feng Changshuo's gaze made Empress Dowager Han even more proud.

Feng Changshuo finished reporting the matter, but did not leave immediately, not only watched the Empress Dowager Han give a proper message, and then accompanied the Empress Dowager Han to speak, and stayed in Cining Palace for an hour and a half before leaving.

It was an old lady who sent Chang Shuo out, the old lady may be confused, the sky was still bright, but she had a candlestick in her hand.

Feng Changshuo left Cining Palace with a spring breeze.

Cining Palace~, Empress Dowager Han leaned comfortably on the pillow.

This move, as soon as it fell, it had already received unexpected good results, which made her, a chess player, can't help but want to praise herself.

Yang Ge Lao fell, and the two kings entered the pavilion, and the time was not much, and she already felt that she was being restrained everywhere. She was anxious, but she couldn't think of a good solution to this dilemma.

Trapped internally and externally, if this continues, she and Emperor Longqing will be hollowed out.

Fortunately, at this time, God gave her Ji Xiaotang.

Originally, she was very jealous of Ji Xiaotang and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Ji Xiaotang facilitated the union of King An and King Su, so that he could win Yang Ge Lao and create today's situation. This matter, Ji Xiaotang and King An and King Su did secretly, but they still couldn't escape her eyes.

However, with Qi Younian, taking Ji Xiaotang's family affairs as an opportunity, she can turn her disadvantage into an advantage.

The union of King An and King Su was only temporary, and it was to counter the power in her hands. These two men are also united because they are evenly matched.

Marrying Ji Xiaotang to Qin Zhen will immediately break this union.

Qin Zhen and Qi Younian turned against each other, Qin Lin would never miss this opportunity, he would definitely go to marry Qi Younian. Qin Lin and Qi Younian are good friends, and the strength comparison between him and Qin Zhen will change.

In order to maintain his position, Qin Zhen had to seek her support.

The power will be back in her hands.

She will support Qin Zhen and confront Qin Lin and Qi Younian, so as to balance the two kings. Regardless of the final outcome of the battle between the two kings, there was always only one winner, and that was her.

It's amazing to hold everyone in the palm of your hand and watch them dance with their fingers.

Empress Dowager Han didn't drink, but she was already drunk.

When you are happy like this, you must always celebrate. Empress Dowager Han thought of the small banquet she arranged at night, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

Today is really a good day, Empress Dowager Han muttered.

Ji Xiaotang was in Jinghuatang, and was talking to the second master and second wife Ji, when someone came to report that Qi You was coming.

Qi Younian said that he came to visit Master Ji Er.

But Second Master Ji immediately knew that Qi Younian knew the news and rushed to see Ji Xiaotang.

Before ordering his subordinates, Second Master Ji asked Ji Xiaotang what he meant with his eyes.

"Please come in." Ji Xiaotang said.

Does she want to avoid Qi Younian, of course not. Ji Xiaotang has never had such a thought.

Soon, Qi Younian was brought in.

"Master Ji, Mrs. ......" Qi Younian came in, and his eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang at once, but he still treated Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji as if they were courteous.

After that, Qi Younian met Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang ......"

"Ayo ......"

Qi Younian's face flushed slightly, and Ji Xiaotang still called him Ayou.

"Xiaotang, let's leave the capital."
