Ji Xiaotang was watching Ying'er and Xuan'er having fun, when he heard the sound of the door curtain, and Qin Zhen walked in from outside.

"Father." When Qin Ying saw Qin Zhen coming, she hurriedly let go of Xuan'er, stood up in a proper manner, and saluted Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded with a smile and walked over.

Xuan'er stretched out her hand towards Qin Zhen in Ji Xiaotang's arms, and her chubby little body also threw herself into Qin Zhen's arms. The little guy's strength is not small, so Ji Xiaotang smiled and handed him to Qin Zhen.

"I can't hold him anymore." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qin Zhen happily took Xuan'er and held it in his arms, Xuan'er lay on his chest, pouted and kissed his face.

Qin Zhen laughed.

Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Ying to also sit on the kang. Qin Ying took Xuan'er to play, and Ji Xiaotang discussed with Qin Zhen about family life.

“…… Although my grandmother is not sick this winter, she looks at her spirits and wants to find a few old ginseng ......, if I am free in the past two days, I want to take Xuan'er and Ying'er back to see ......"

"We still have a few old ginseng plants in our library, take them for use first, and then I will tell someone to go north to find them for future use. I also want to go to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, why don't I go with you the day after tomorrow, and I will accompany you and my son......"

"That's even better." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Qin Ying hugged Xuan'er on the kang, and when she heard this, she whispered to Xuan'er with a smile.

"Uncle, uncle......" Xuan'er immediately danced and shouted.

"Xuan'er, this is missing my little uncle." Qin Zhen laughed, stretched out his hand and hugged Xuan'er into his arms again. Let him call Daddy.

"Daddy." Xuan'er screamed milkily, and now he can call Daddy very clearly.

"Good son." Qin Zhen was happy, and kissed Xuan'er twice on the face.

The family is rejoicing. Someone outside came in to report that Empress Dowager Han had sent someone from the palace.

Qin Zhen immediately stopped laughing, only Xuan'er was still giggling.

"Who's coming, please come in." Ji Xiaotang ordered to go down.

The Empress Dowager Han sent it was still Manager Zhang.

Mr. Zhang came to give Ji Xiaotang old ginseng.

“…… Yesterday, I ordered the woman to enter the palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, I don't know which one said it, and the Queen Mother only knew. The past few years have not been good. There are also fewer good things, and you can't buy them with silver. However, the old lady of Jifu wants to use old ginseng, but she doesn't have to worry. As long as the princess and the queen mother say it. What's not? ”

Empress Dowager Han heard that Mrs. Ji was going to use old ginseng, and she was worried that she would not be able to find it for a while, so she deliberately found the best one from the inner library and sent Manager Zhang to Ji Xiaotang to send it over.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up and thanked him. On the one hand, let people accept the old ginseng. But I secretly thought to myself in my heart: What is the obedient woman who said that Mrs. Ji wants to use old ginseng, so she sent someone to send old ginseng. The matter of Jifu, why did Empress Dowager Han have to listen to an unknown woman to mention it.

Empress Dowager Han clearly arranged her eyes and ears, no matter how big or small Xinhuatang was, she would know it as soon as possible, and she didn't mind that Ji Xiaotang knew about it.

Empress Dowager Han didn't penetrate King An's Mansion so easily, but she held the Ji family of Xinhuatang firmly in the palm of her hand.

Empress Dowager Han didn't ask someone to send her old ginseng, but reminded her of this fact again.

Why did Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun die. Is it really just because there are rebels who have played the banner of Xie Huaijin, because of Xie Huaijin's identity?!

This answer. Maybe others don't know, but Ji Xiaotang is very clear.

Mr. Zhang sent the old ginseng, and mentioned it with a smile: "The princess has not entered the palace for many days, and the queen mother misses it very much." The Queen Mother asked the princess to take the little prince into the palace......"

Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang to take Xuan'er into the palace to see her.

Empress Dowager Han treated her so earnestly, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but agree, although this was the case, Ji Xiaotang did not immediately agree, but turned his gaze to Qin Zhen with a smile.

Qin Zhen frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.

Ji Xiaotang immediately saw it, and hurriedly glanced at Qin Zhen.

"We are just about to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother." Qin Zhen received Ji Xiaotang's signal, and said to Manager Zhang, "Please go back and report to the Queen Mother, and we will enter the palace tomorrow to see her old man." ”

The errand went so smoothly that Manager Zhang was very happy, sat down for a while, and then left.

"So much has happened these days, and I think the Queen Mother also hopes to have someone to talk to." Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen, and his words were quite meaningful.

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, he understood what Ji Xiaotang meant.

These days, Empress Dowager Han must be very happy, looking for Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace, in addition to wanting Xuan'er, I am afraid that she also wants to "share" her happiness with others.

Empress Dowager Han is getting more and more lonely.

The old ginseng sent by the Empress Dowager Han, Ji Xiaotang asked the imperial doctor to see it, and sent someone back to Xinhuatang.

The next day, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang got up early to clean up, and after breakfast, they took Xuan'er into the palace.

On the main hall of Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Han was smiling, and the whole person seemed to be much younger, and when Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er and leaned over to salute, she hurriedly raised her hand and asked the two of them to get up.

"Family flesh and blood, don't be polite, it's my blessing that you can come to the palace to see me, come close and sit down to talk to me."

Regarding Qin Zhen accompanying Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er, Empress Dowager Han didn't say anything.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er forward and sat on the embroidered pier in front of the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han took out a few errands that were handed over to Qin Zhen to ask Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen replied one by one. Empress Dowager Han nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done. These errands are in your hands, and Your Majesty and I can rest assured. Zhen'er, now the big and small things in the DPRK and China are still thanks to your efforts. ”

"It's the Queen Mother." Qin Zhen smiled and slapped a sycophant.

Empress Dowager Han laughed.

"Yu'er, have you been there?" After laughing, Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked.

Qin Zhen immediately replied: "I've seen it." ”

Empress Dowager Han sighed, but her eyes looked back and forth on Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen's faces as if unintentionally: "Yu'er, that child." Maybe it's the wrong time to be born, and life is not very good. I used to be weak and couldn't come out to see people. Now the body is said to be conditioned. I was able to come out to meet people, but only a few days later, something like this happened, and it is said that I almost lost my life......"

Qin Yu's life is not good, such a topic, Empress Dowager Han can talk about it, but Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang can't take this conversation.

"Fortunately, it was a skin trauma. It should be treated for a few days. I heard that the Queen Mother specially sent someone to see it, and she also sent a lot of things, which is the Queen Mother's kindness. Qin Zhen said.

"Yes." Empress Dowager Han nodded. It's a bit boring.

At this time, a lieutenant came in to report to the Empress Dowager Han.

Emperor Longqing knew that Qin Zhen had entered the palace, and asked Qin Zhen to go to the Qianqing Palace, he had something to discuss with Qin Zhen.

The will of Emperor Longqing. Qin Zhen couldn't resist the order. He looked at Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang bowed slightly, reassuring him.

Qin Zhen stood up, saluted the Empress Dowager Han, and followed the lieutenant to the Qianqing Palace.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Zhen's back and laughed out loud.

"What is the queen laughing at?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"What else can I laugh at?" Empress Dowager Han turned her gaze back and looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile, "I'm laughing at you little couple, I really can't part for a moment." Especially Zhen'er. After so many years, I didn't even see it. Our dignified Prince An turned out to be an amorous seed. ”

"The queen mother made fun of us juniors again." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Empress Dowager Han laughed twice more, and stopped the topic.

"Xuan'er, this child, the more I look at it, the happier I become." Empress Dowager Han looked at Xuan'er in Ji Xiaotang's arms.

Xuan'er sat very obediently in Ji Xiaotang's arms, playing with her feet, very happy. He heard the Empress Dowager Han say the word Xuan'er, and knew that he was talking about himself, so he glanced at the Empress Dowager Han and screamed twice in his mouth.

"It's rare to be such a smart child." Empress Dowager Han's words are sincere.

"The Queen Mother likes Xuan'er, so naturally everything about Xuan'er is good." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Xiaotang, are you hiding something from me?" Empress Dowager Han looked at Xuan'er with a smile for a while, and then turned her gaze to Ji Xiaotang.

She still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

"I don't quite understand what the queen mother means." Ji Xiaotang's eyes were clear.

"You kid, you still treat me like an outsider. Or......" The coldness in Empress Dowager Han's eyes was even more obvious, "Or you have also been provoked by others, treating me as an enemy and an opponent, and also guarding against me......"

"Don't say that," Ji Xiaotang got up hurriedly, and there was some eagerness in his tone, "The queen mother treats me with affection, others don't know, but how can I not appreciate it." With the presence of the queen mother, there is peace and happiness for our mother and son. If it weren't for the queen mother who has been protecting me......"

Ji Xiaotang didn't say any more.

"If you know, it's good." Empress Dowager Han's tone softened, and her gaze softened a little, "If you are in this palace and stay at home, are you really deaf and blind?" It's not that I'm going to talk about you, you're too cowardly, people are going to hurt Xuan'er, why don't you keep silent and don't come to tell me? ”

"Queen Mother, you, you know?" Ji Xiaotang looked a little surprised.

"You keep it a secret, do you really think I don't know? Whose world is this world?! ”

"Queen Mother......" Ji Xiaotang hung his head and stopped talking.

"You came to tell me earlier, I also have an opinion, and I definitely won't let people bully you in vain."

“…… It's not that I want to hide the queen mother," Ji Xiaotang raised his head and told the Empress Dowager Han slowly, "It's really a secret method, and the cheap maid who started it took advantage of others to cut herself, and we don't have tangible evidence in our hands." There is no evidence, so I told the queen mother, and in vain let the queen mother worry and get angry. The queen mother is angry, and in order to be the master, she has to take the queen mother's person out......"

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang paused again.

"There is no evidence, even if the queen mother comes forward, what can be done, one is not careful, but it makes the family beat a rake, and the queen mother ......, that person has bad intentions towards us, but the final goal is the queen mother's ......"

Now that Empress Dowager Han has almost made the matter clear, Ji Xiaotang is also very willing to make this sentence clear.

Empress Dowager Han wants to come forward for her and Xuan'er, and in the end it is she who protects herself.

The corners of Empress Dowager Han's mouth couldn't help twitching, and she looked at Ji Xiaotang: "Xiaotang, I really like you." ”

This sentence seems a little strange to say at this time.

Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about it: "Queen Mother, I know." ”

Empress Dowager Han nodded.

"In any case, you should still come to report to me at that time, I don't need to worry so much, I naturally have a way here, and I won't let you suffer in vain......"

When Empress Dowager Han said this, her eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaotang's face.

Ji Xiaotang knew what Empress Dowager Han wanted her to say, but she refused to say it.

After waiting for a while, and not seeing Ji Xiaotang speak, Empress Dowager Han knew that she would not hear what she wanted to hear from Ji Xiaotang.

“…… What have you done to prevent it, don't think that if you don't succeed once, you won't have the idea of cooking again in the future. Xiaotang, there are many things you don't know. Back then, it was not easy for Your Majesty and I to survive......"

“…… Although the first emperor passed the throne to His Majesty, he handed over many secret forces to King Su. If King Su uses all these forces to deal with Xuan'er, you and Zhen'er won't be able to parry ......, Gu worms are still small compared to those! ”

Empress Dowager Han said a lot to Ji Xiaotang, and many of these things were known to Ji Xiaotang for the first time.

"Xiaotang, I'm not coaxing you, if you don't believe me, just ask Zhen'er, he already knows!"

"Of course I believe in the Queen Mother."

Although what Empress Dowager Han said was not true, Ji Xiaotang had heard Qin Zhen talk about the matter of the first emperor leaving a secret force to Qin Lin. Before the first emperor died, Qin Lin had already been arranged very well. But after his death, the reason why Empress Dowager Han did not get rid of Qin Lin immediately was because she was afraid of these secret forces.

After that, when the power in the hands of the Empress Dowager Han was stabilized, she felt that she could get rid of the secret forces left by the first emperor and get rid of Qin Lin, but Qin Lin had already gained a firm foothold, and she didn't say that she could get rid of it.

Over the years, although Empress Dowager Han has firmly held the authority of the world, the secret forces left by the former emperor in Qin Lin's hands are still a thorn in her heart.

But she couldn't find it, so she couldn't pull it out.

She has been supporting Qin Zhen all these years, also because she wants to use Qin Zhen to compete with Qin Lin.

"Xiaotang, you and Zhen'er are still young after all, especially Zhen'er, young and vigorous. The secret tricks left by the first emperor are not something he can deal with alone. Tell me, I'll help you to make sure Xuan'er is safe. When Empress Dowager Han heard Ji Xiaotang say that she believed her, she lost no time in persuading.

Ji Xiaotang suddenly woke up.

Empress Dowager Han summoned her to the palace today, and the purpose was not Xuan'er, nor was she there.

Qin Lin attacked Xuan'er, so that Empress Dowager Han could see the shadow of the secret forces left by the first emperor, and at the same time saw an opportunity. What Empress Dowager Han wants is all the clues in Qin Zhen's hands, she wants to take the opportunity to join forces with Qin Zhen to completely eliminate the secret force left by the first emperor to Qin Lin!
