"Although Xiuyun Building is good, it is far away from Xuchun Hall, Ying'er still has to come to the morning and dusk to settle the province, I also want to take care of Ying'er nearby, it is better to move Ying'er to my Xuchun Hall." There are three more back cover rooms behind the Xuchun Hall that are empty, and they are packed up and just for Ying'er to live in. ”

Qin Zhen almost didn't think about it, so he nodded.

"Leave everything to the princess."

Qin Ying also stood up and thanked Ji Xiaotang.

"In the future, you must listen to your mother's words well, and you can't be naughty and make your mother angry." Qin Zhen instructed Qin Ying a few more words, Qin Ying stood and listened respectfully, until Ji Xiaotang asked her to sit down again, and she sat up straight next to Ji Xiaotang again.

Ji Xiaotang, Qin Zhen, and Qin Ying sat there talking, and Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue were all standing on the ground, either serving tea, peeling fruits, or handing handkerchiefs.

And the other concubines could only stand aside, at most to help the little girl do a little thing. Being able to serve Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang in front of him is the dignity of Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue, so Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything and let these two people serve.

Although the two of them were serving in close proximity, they didn't dare to say much, and when Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen spoke, they didn't dare to interject.

Ji Xiaotang secretly thought in his heart, these two have been in the palace for almost a month, it seems that Qin Zhen has set rules for them, otherwise these two will never be like this, even if they are not pampered and arrogant, they will not be so cautious, and they don't even dare to speak.

She certainly didn't think that the two men were so afraid of her. She doesn't have a great reputation, and she's very reasonable.

I have to say. Ji Xiaotang's idea is at least half right.

Although Prince An's mansion has not had a housewife for several years, there are not many rules. The prince's mansion under Qin Zhen's governance, no matter what is in order. When the two side concubines entered the door, Qin Zhen did not give them a chance to be pampered.

And the other half Ji Xiaotang didn't guess correctly, but it was herself.

Ji Xiaotang doesn't think she has any great reputation, but in fact, she is already well-known in Beijing.

The most important thing for this matter is to thank Changning. Originally, Ji Xiaotang lived in Xinhuatang. is only the county lord, he can easily deal with the angry Changning, and play Changning between applause. And on the first day Ji Xiaotang married into King An's mansion, he was even more powerful and obedient to Changning's governance.

Ji Xiaotang even showed his disparity to the Empress Dowager Han.

But when she entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Han, the Empress Dowager Han not only did not reprimand Ji Xiaotang at this time. On the contrary, he favored Ji Xiaotang. also said again that she is Ji Xiaotang's mother's family, and she will make decisions for Ji Xiaotang in the future.

Such a Ji Xiaotang can not only be described by the word powerful.

Even if Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue had the courage to be presumptuous, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ji Xiaotang, so they could only add countless extra cautions, and serve Ji Xiaotang with some trepidation.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office. After Ji Xiaotang ruled Changning, in order to neutralize his authority in the palace. It is likely that he is planning to send someone down and make an example of the monkeys. And if Ji Xiaotang wants to do this, they are the best choice in this palace.

This is the whole reason why Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue are in their current state.

Ji Xiaotang took a sip of fragrant tea, raised his eyes, and glanced at Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue. Zheng Zi's face was full of smiles, and Song Xinyue's posture was not as easy-going as Zheng Zi, but it was also respectful.

Zheng Zi is more perceptive than Song Xinyue, so at this time, he smiled and handed a handkerchief to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang just put down the teacup, took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and handed the handkerchief back to Zheng Zi.

"Where do Sister Zheng and Sister Song live now?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Ji Xiaotang asked, Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue didn't dare to slack off, and both of them answered respectfully. The two side concubines of the palace now live in the back of the building, Zheng Zi lives in Yanxia Pavilion, and Song Xinyue lives in Wangyue Tower.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, indicating that he knew.

"That's it for today, you'll be fine in the future, and you won't have to come to me to serve as you do now. You respect me, and your heart is there. Ji Xiaotang spoke to save the two side concubines from coming to her to ask for peace in the morning and dusk, and serve three meals.

Qin Zhen didn't speak, just sat on the side and silently sipped the fragrant tea.

Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue hurriedly saluted Ji Xiaotang, and they both insisted on coming to Ji Xiaotang's side to serve.

"Being able to serve the princess is a blessing and dignity for our sisters. The princess cherishes our hearts, and we miss them from the bottom of our hearts. Just ask the princess not to take away this blessing and dignity from us. Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue both said.

Zheng Zi was even more smiling: "In the past, I admired the princess very much in the boudoir, although I have met the princess several times, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to get close to the princess and listen to the princess's teachings." Please allow us to serve, and if we follow the princess, we can also gain a long understanding and gain some gains. ”

Song Xinyue is obviously not as good at words as Zheng Zi, and her face is much lighter, but she also followed Zheng Zi and said that she hoped to get closer to Ji Xiaotang, she has also been famous for Ji Xiaotang for a long time, but she has not had the opportunity to meet before.

Ji Xiaotang didn't come to the capital often, and he had limited meetings with the ladies of various families, and Zheng Zi met at Princess Changning's party. Song Xinyue, as the daughter of the secretary of the military department, is qualified to participate in the party in Changning.

"Crescent, why haven't I seen you before?" Ji Xiaotang asked Song Xinyue.

At the strong request of Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue, Ji Xiaotang began to call these two people by their names to show their closeness and closeness.

"Back to the princess," Song Xinyue bent her knees slightly, "My grandmother is old and doesn't want to live in the capital, so she has to go back to her hometown in Baoding Mansion to live." For the past two years, I have been accompanying my grandmother in Baoding Mansion. This time, it was also because of the alternative of entering the palace that he returned to the capital. ”

Ji Xiaotang nodded, only then did she understand what was going on, she asked a few more questions about the old lady of the Song family, and Song Xinyue answered them one by one.

It turned out that Song Xinyue had been taking care of her grandmother in her hometown, and it was no wonder that her temperament did not look like she would meet her, but it was so easy and proper to do things to serve people.

Speaking of which, in the end. Ji Xiaotang acquiesced to the fact that Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue still wanted to serve him.

Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue came to her, saying that they were serving her. In fact, how can there be no other purpose. Ji Xiaotang's eyes wandered, and he glanced at Qin Zhen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

Qin Zhen naturally didn't know what Ji Xiaotang was thinking at the moment, but seeing that Ji Xiaotang was smiling, he also smiled.

After that, Qin Zhen asked Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue and the concubines to retreat.

A low rosewood table was placed on the chaise longue, and Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen sat opposite each other at the table. Qin Ying was standing under the bed, and she was reporting to Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang what she had learned today.

After listening to Qin Ying's report, Ji Xiaotang also knew Qin Ying's progress in learning. looked at Qin Ying's practice of big characters, and listened to her sit down and play a tune.

At her age, Qin Ying can already be regarded as a talented girl.

Qin Zhen attaches great importance to the issue of his daughter's education.

"If there is anything you don't understand in your homework in the future, you can come and ask your mother for advice. Your mother is a top talent. Qin Zhen told Qin Ying.

Qin Ying looked up at the little ~ face. looked at Ji Xiaotang with sparkling eyes.

Ji Xiaotang knew. Before she got married, I was afraid that Qin Zhen would mention her in front of Qin Ying, so that Qin Ying would have such feelings for her as soon as they met.

Qin Zhen really put his heart into it, Ji Xiaotang drew the last stroke on Qin Ying's big character red, raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Zhen.

Perhaps it was the affection in Ji Xiaotang's eyes, and Qin Zhen's gaze immediately deepened.

After checking Qin Ying's homework, Qin Zhen ordered someone to take Qin Ying down to rest.

This night. Qin Zhen rested in Xuchun Hall, but his bedroom was separated by a wall from Ji Xiaotang's bed tent.

Ji Xiaotang is still young. Even if Qin Zhen is anxious and anxious, he is by no means a person from Meng Lang, on the contrary, he knows how to be considerate of Ji Xiaotang. This night, although there is no skin-to-skin kiss, Ji Xiaotang's feeling, she and Qin Zhen are closer to each other.

If you return to the door in three days, even Prince An, you are naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Qin Zhen was newly married, so he simply asked Emperor Longqing for leave to accompany Ji Xiaotang for a while, and on this day, he made all kinds of gifts early in the morning and happily accompanied Ji Xiaotang back to the door.

Ji Xiaotang's mood was even more excited.

got off the car in front of the second gate of Xinhuatang, and what jumped into my eyes was the Ji family headed by Mrs. Ji, Second Master Ji, Second Mrs. Ji, and Third Master Ji. As soon as Ji Xiaotang's car left Prince An's mansion, they waited at the second gate.

This meeting naturally had a special intimacy, and then, everyone gathered in Xuanhua Hall for a formal ceremony.

Qin Zhen called Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and followed Ji Xiaotang to call Old Lady Ji his grandmother, and coaxed Old Lady Ji to smile.

From Mrs. Ji, to Ji Xiaomu and Ji Xiaolian, there were gifts for Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang, and Qin Zhen naturally prepared a generous gift to fulfill his courtesy and filial piety.

Everyone sat and talked for a while, and Master Ji, Second Master Ji, Master Ji San, and Ji Xiaomu accompanied Qin Zhen to the front, leaving a group of female relatives in the house, so it was naturally better to speak.

Mrs. Ji Er held Ji Xiaotang's hand and was reluctant to let go.

"Is the prince good to you?" Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang nodded and said yes.

Qin Zhen treated her really well.

Mrs. Ji Er was still not at ease, so she asked some details, and also asked about the matter between Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen's bed, Ji Xiaotang knew that Mrs. Ji was worried about her, so she said briefly.

When Second Mrs. Ji heard that although Qin Zhen had stayed with Ji Xiaotang for several nights in a row, she had only been in bed for one night, so she finally nodded with confidence.

"The prince is a safe and considerate man, I was worried about ......" The following words, Mrs. Ji Er did not say it.

Ji Xiaotang married into the palace, and the second master and second wife Ji were worried. Ji Xiaotang's appearance, even if Qin Zhen is Liu Xia Hui, he can't help but love it. What's more, Qin Zhen is not Liu Xia Hui, and he is also very fond of Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen is young and strong, but Ji Xiaotang is still young.

They were worried that Qin Zhen would be in a hurry and would hurt Ji Xiaotang.

Even if Qin Zhen is not in a hurry, but with his age and identity, King An's Mansion urgently needs an heir. Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji were worried that Qin Zhen would hurt Ji Xiaotang for the sake of his heirs.

But Qin Zhen was so restrained, which made Mrs. Ji Er overjoyed, and she had a good impression of Qin Zhen even more in her heart.

Qin Zhen is not only considerate of Ji Xiaotang, but also respects Ji Xiaotang.

“…… Life is not as expected, things are often eight ~ nine. Second Mrs. Ji gently persuaded Ji Xiaotang, "The prince ......, it seems that it is really rare now." and your good mate. In this life, what a woman is most afraid of is marrying the wrong person. Xiaotang, according to my mother, you are not wrong to marry. Live a good life with the prince, don't be inadequate, it is a blessing. ”

What Mrs. Ji Er wants to say is that although Qin Zhen is not Ji Xiaotang's intended person. But he was a good husband. She hopes that Ji Xiaotang can completely let go of Qi Younian and get along and live with Qin Zhen wholeheartedly.

If Ji Xiaotang can do this, he is destined to live a very happy life in this life.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyelids. Smiled slightly. She knew that Mrs. Ji Er was really good for her, and she was speaking from someone who came over. She also fully believed that what Mrs. Ji said was right.

"Mother. I will. ”

Mrs. Ji Er smiled and nodded. Very gratifying.

And Ji Xiaotang didn't just say this to make Mrs. Ji Er feel at ease, she would really try to do it.

Ji Xiaotang said about himself, and it was inevitable that he would ask everyone in Xinhuatang. Mrs. Ji Er told her that Xinhuatang has been doing well these days, and everyone has been busy for Ji Xiaotang's marriage for so long, and they haven't done anything in the past few days, just resting. Then it was time for Ji Xiaotang to return to the door.

"When you get married, we are not used to it." Mrs. Ji said. They all missed Ji Xiaotang very much, especially Changsheng, because they couldn't see Ji Xiaotang for a few days, and they cried with Mrs. Ji.

"Ask me when you'll be back, and ask him if he can come and see you." Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

Changsheng sat next to Ji Xiaotang's hand, because Mrs. Ji said that he was crying, he was young, and he was already very face-saving, so he blushed, and when Ji Xiaotang looked over, he pouted, saying that he didn't cry at all.

"Really didn't cry? Could it be that my mother will still arrange you randomly? Ji Xiaotang raised his fingers, gently pinched Changsheng's nose, and asked with a smile.

Changsheng blinked, but still said, "I really didn't cry, it's just ...... Blinded. ”

When he said this, the whole room laughed, and their eyes were blinded by his tone.

Changsheng's bun face became more and more red, ashamed and angry, and finally simply hugged Ji Xiaotang's waist and plunged his head into Ji Xiaotang's arms.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing, while gently snoring at the back of Changsheng's hairy head.

When everyone stopped laughing and changed the topic, Changsheng raised his face from Ji Xiaotang's arms.

Everyone laughed for a while, and the Yao family brought Zhou Nianhong and Zhou Qiao over to salute Ji Xiaotang. Coming to the capital and living under the protection of the Ji family, the Yao family mother and son have long since lost their original down-and-out appearance. Old Mrs. Ji and Second Mrs. Ji treated them very well, and they were truly grateful to the Ji family.

As for the Yao family, they originally had some complicated emotions towards the Ji family, especially Master Ji, that were not completely equivalent to resentment, but the fall of Yang Gelao, the misfortune of Mrs. Ji, and the various performances of Master Ji later, the Yao family has now completely untied the knot, and just wants to raise their children to grow up to be talented.

For Zhou Qiao, he grew up to become a talent, and for Zhou Nianhong, he was looking for a good family.

Zhou Nianhong's age should have been married a long time ago. And they are in the capital, if they want to achieve Zhou Nianhong's family affairs, they still have to completely rely on the Ji family.

Yao is very attentive and careful. She flattered Ji Xiaotang for a while, and then took her two children to retreat with a very good eye.

"She's really settled." After Yao left, Mrs. Ji said something.

Mrs. Ji felt guilty about Yao, and Yao had been serving her very well, Mrs. Ji was full of pity for Yao, and she was willing to consider Yao's mother and son.

"Nianhong, that girl, it's time to talk about a family matter." As Mrs. Ji said this, she glanced at Ji Xiaoyun, who was sitting with her.

Ji Xiaoyun smiled, she didn't say much, most of the time she was listening to everyone.

Mrs. Ji sighed softly, thought about it, and found an excuse to get Ji Xiaoyun away.

"And Xiaoyun, she is young, if she has an heir, it will be okay, it is always like this, and it is not a game. I won't be able to close my eyes in the future. ”

Mrs. Ji meant that she hoped that Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang would put more effort into arranging a family affair for Ji Xiaoyun.

It is not difficult for Ji Xiaoyun to get married, but with her temperament and experience, it is not easy to live a happy life.

There is no need for Mrs. Ji to mention it, Mrs. Ji is also worried about this matter.

"Grandmother and mother can talk to my sister more, see what kind of thoughts my sister has, what kind of people she wants to find, I will definitely pay attention to it. As long as my sister is willing, no matter who it is, she can do it! ”

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji both looked at Ji Xiaotang, what Ji Xiaotang said was too imposing.

Mrs. Ji was very happy: "With Xiaotang's words, what are we worried about!" ”

Mrs. Ji Er didn't think so: "Marriage is still a matter of wishful thinking." Your sister isn't like that, she's going to force others. ”

Ji Xiaotang laughed.

"Mother, I say this, just to reassure you and grandmother, as long as my sister is willing, we can always think of ways to make her happy and smooth."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Mrs. Ji didn't wait for Mrs. Ji to say anything, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Ji didn't say anything.

When Ji Xiaoyun came back, the three of them tacitly changed the topic.

On this day, Ji Xiaotang spent most of the day in Xinhuatang, and finally reluctantly said goodbye to his family accompanied by Qin Zhen and got into the carriage of the palace.

Qin Zhen did not ride a horse, but sat in the same car with Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, I said, if you are homesick, you can come back at any time, don't pay attention to such old customs. An Wangfu, you are the rule. ”

Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered September, and there is a grand scene in the chrysanthemum garden of King An's mansion. Ji Xiaotang made up an invitation to hold a chrysanthemum banquet in the garden.

In the past month, Qin Zhen has been resting in Xuchun Hall, and the affairs of the court have been slack. There have been discussions in the capital, saying that Princess An Ji Xiaotang is a special favorite, and Qin Zhen loves ~ her lover does not love the country.

Also in this month, Ji Xiaotang has held no less than ten banquets of various sizes.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang, the couple, are very indulgent. (To be continued.) )
