Because of the letter sent by Beiban, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the eleventh year of Longqing, everyone was not able to celebrate it properly. Not to mention going to the palace for a reunion and drinking, even the An Wangfu itself, everything is simple.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the matter of the Northern Barbarian State Book was settled on the surface, and the Empress Dowager Han did not mention the matter of letting everyone enter the palace.

Things are one after another, but Ji Xiaotang doesn't have the heart to think about them for the time being. In the past two days, she has been in a pretty good mood.

Master Ji's birthday is coming.

Because it wasn't a whole birthday, and Master Ji Er didn't like to be lively, he didn't alarm people, and he didn't treat people. However, on such a day, it is necessary to reunite the family.

Ji Xiaotang discussed with Qin Zhen a few days in advance and prepared a birthday gift for Second Master Ji.

"My father-in-law will like it very much." Qin Zhen looked at the two ancient paintings in his hand and said with a smile to Ji Xiaotang. These two ancient paintings are genuine, originally treasured in the palace, and later rewarded to him by the first emperor.

He knew that Second Master Ji liked antique calligraphy and paintings, so he had already paid attention to it, and planned to give it to Second Master Ji to make Second Master Ji happy.

Ji Xiaotang held Xuan'er in his hand, turned his head to look at it a few times, and smiled. Qin Zhen really knew Ji Er's preferences very well.

But......

"Of course, my father likes this painting. But it's okay if we don't give anything. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang with a smile while putting away the ancient paintings.

"As long as we take Xuan'er with us, let Xuan'er kiss his grandfather, and make sure that his grandfather is always smiling. Where will you remember if we sent a birthday gift? Ji Xiaotang smiled.

As long as they bring Xuan'er to show Second Master Ji, that is the best birthday gift for Second Master Ji.

Qin Zhen also laughed.

"I didn't expect our Xuan'er to be so useful. In this way, we can save a lot of things in the future. ”

"It's not just a lot of savings. Xuan'er can still earn a lot of things back for us. ”

Xuan'er is the first grandson of Ji Er and Ji Er's wife, the so-called next-generation relatives, Ji Er and Ji Er are very fond of Xuan'er, no matter what delicious and useful things there are, almost the first one will think of Xuan'er.

For example, a few days ago, Ji Er accidentally rummaged through something, and he turned out two pieces of good ink. Even though Xuan'er is not yet one year old and is still far from reading and writing, Master Ji Er immediately sent someone to send two pieces of ink. said that it was for Xuan'er.

Along with the two pieces of ink, there were also two ivory delicate balls, which Mrs. Ji Er saw and thought it was good, and was thinking about who to send to Xuan'er. happened to know that Master Ji Er was going to send ink. I sent it over.

This happens almost every few days. The things given by the second master and the second wife are also varied, some are priceless, and some are not very valuable, but they are rare and interesting.

At Xuan'er's young age, there are already several boxes in her private room, and a warehouse can barely fit it.

Thinking of these things, Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh. As soon as he took Xuan'er from Ji Xiaotang's arms, he hugged her.

Xuan'er's hair was shaggy and rubbed against Qin Zhen's chin. made Qin Zhen's heart soft and itchy. He lowered his head and kissed Xuan'er the top of his head, causing Xuan'er to giggle.

"Xuan'er, let's pay attention in the future, don't empty your grandfather's house, and leave something for your little uncle." Qin Zhen said to Xuan'er.

Xuan'er screamed a few times, then giggled again.

"Xiaotang, listen, what is our son talking about?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.

"To my ears, Xuan'er seems to be saying that he is going to empty his grandfather's house and move his little uncle with him." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"This really looks like what our Xuan'er said!" Qin Zhen pretended to be shocked and said.

seemed to understand the three words of the little uncle, and Xuan'er smiled more and more cheerfully.

Changsheng likes Xuan'er very much, and whenever he has free time, he will come to the palace to accompany Xuan'er, and Xuan'er also likes his little uncle Changsheng. Ji Xiaotang often thinks with great satisfaction that when Xuan'er grows up another year or two, she can be accompanied by Changsheng and Qin Ying.

"Does Xuan'er miss her uncle?" Ji Xiaotang teased Xuan'er, "I'm going to give your grandfather a birthday tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will not only be able to see your little uncle, but also your seven-catty cousin." ”

……

The next day, it was the day of Ji Er's birthday, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen got up early, had breakfast, cleaned up neatly, and were about to take Xuan'er to Xinhuatang together, when someone came to the palace.

Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing issued an edict to ask King Qin Zhen to go to the palace to discuss matters.

"What's the matter for you to go, haven't you already taken a leave of absence?" Ji Xiaotang complained.

Qin Zhen asked the lieutenant who came to pass on the message if he knew what Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing had summoned him to discuss. The lieutenant's rhetoric was vague, but some information was revealed.

Empress Dowager Han is sick.

If it was something else, Qin Zhen might be able to shirk one or two, but Empress Dowager Han was sick and asked him to enter the palace, but he couldn't help but go.

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang with some embarrassment.

Although Ji Xiaotang complained, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded lightly to Qin Zhen.

"The prince went to the palace. I took Xuan'er to Xinhuatang first, if the prince is done, it will not be too late to go later. ”

"It's rare for my father-in-law to celebrate his birthday, so I have already decided to go over early and accompany him to play a game of chess. Father-in-law, Xiaotang, you ......"

Ji Xiaotang didn't wait for Qin Zhen to finish speaking, he smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the prince is naturally the matter of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and Daddy will understand. It's just that no matter morning or night, when you come out of the palace~ come out of Xinhuatang, first, to take me and Xuan'er home, and second, Daddy can rest assured when he sees you. ”

"Okay." Qin Zhen happily responded.

The lieutenant who came to pass on the message couldn't help but show some emotion in his eyes when he saw Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen in this situation.

It is said that King An and Princess An have a good relationship, but they will only know when they really see the two getting along. What kind of good law these two husband and wife are, it is even worse than the legend. It can be said that the case is raised with eyebrows.

Qin Zhen followed the lieutenant to the palace, and Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er in a carriage, and came to Xinhuatang to congratulate Ji Er on his birthday surrounded by the entourage of the palace.

When they arrived at Xinhuatang, Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin had already arrived first, and everyone had some intimacy when they saw each other.

When everyone arrived at the Xuanhua Hall, everyone sat down one after another. Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaoyun, Xie Huaijin and Changsheng didn't sit down, Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er, and Ji Xiaoyun hugged seven catties. knelt in front of the second master of Ji and kowtowed to the second master of Ji to pay homage to his birthday.

Second Master Ji was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth, so he stretched out his hand to let them hurry up.

"The prince was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother and His Majesty?" When Ji Xiaotang got up, Second Master Ji asked her.

Ji Xiaotang had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Second Master Ji in advance. Therefore, Second Master Ji knew that Qin Zhen had entered the palace. However, he didn't know what Qin Zhen was going to do when he entered the palace.

The hall is full of his own family, and Ji Xiaotang did not hide it, so he said that the Empress Dowager Han was sick.

"Oh, I see." Second Master Ji put his mind at ease.

"The prince doesn't know when he will be able to come out of the palace. However, the prince said that no matter morning or evening, he would come over to pay tribute to his father's birthday. Ji Xiaotang said, hugged Xuan'er and held Xuan'er's two little hands together. Make a salute to Master Ji Er.

"Xuan'er, quickly pay tribute to your grandfather's birthday for your father. I wish my grandfather good fortune such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. ”

"Ahh......h

Xuan'er Yuan~ The rolling appearance and milky sound made Ji Er's heart almost melt, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"Hey, hey, good, good ......" Second Master Ji said repeatedly, and then stretched out his hand, "Good Xuan'er, hug my grandfather." ”

Ji Xiaotang handed Xuan'er over, and the second master Ji hugged Xuan'er and sat on the chair as if he had found a treasure, and Changsheng immediately followed, touching Xuan'er's little feet with his hand.

And they all sat down.

Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun both sat on the kang next to Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji also took seven catties from Ji Xiaoyun's arms.

Qijin is smaller than Xuan'er, and more squeamish than Xuan'er.

However, the little guy is also very healthy, and Ji Xiaoyun takes good care of her daughter.

"Looks like I've gained some weight the last time I came." Mrs. Ji looked at Qijin and said, "Xiao~ The face is also rounder." ”

Ji Xiaoyun is not like Ji Xiaotang, she and Xie Huaijin have few things, and they go back to Xinhuatang many times.

"Huai Jin will also take care of seven catties, more carefully than me." Speaking of taking care of seven catties, Ji Xiaoyun said for Xie Huaijin.

Ji Xiaotang believed this sentence, because at this time, Xie Huaijin was sitting not far away, his eyes had never left Qijin for almost a moment, and he was secretly moving the chair, as if he wanted to get closer to Qijin.

It's rare for Xie Huaijin to like her daughter so much.

Everyone laughed, and talked about how nervous Xie Huaijin was when Ji Xiaoyun gave birth, everyone still remembered what Xie Huaijin said at that time, saying that Ji Xiaoyun's production was too hard, and after they gave birth to this one, they would not let Ji Xiaoyun regenerate.

"That's what he said at the time, and now I'll ask him what he says?" Inadvertently mentioning this matter, Ji Xiaoyun's face was a little red, she hung her head slightly, but her eyes glanced in the direction of Xie Huaijin.

"What's the matter, now Brother Huaijin has changed his mind?" Ji Xiaotang took seven catties from Mrs. Ji's arms and asked with a smile.

Xie Huaijin naturally heard their conversation, he didn't pick up a stubble, just laughed.

He said he couldn't imagine that the child would be so cute. said that if I wanted, he hoped, he hoped to ......" Ji Xiaoyun replied shyly, a little unable to continue.

"What does he want?" Mrs. Ji asked, "You are also a mother, and you are still so shy, and there are no outsiders in this house, what can you say?" ”

Master Ji's illness has recovered most of the time, but people are still reluctant to go out of the house, and he didn't come on this occasion today. The two brothers, Ji Xiaomu and Ji Xiaoxue, were still here, but at this time, they went to the garden to watch people set up the stage.

At this moment, in the house, except for the party Xie Huaijin, as well as the second master Ji who was holding Xuan'er and almost no one else in his eyes, and a little doll Changsheng, they were all the daughters of the Ji family.

Ji Xiaoyun really doesn't need to have any taboos.

"Huai Jin hopes that we can have a few more cute dolls like Qijin and Xuan'er." Ji Xiaoyun said with a blushing face.

Xie Huaijin's face also turned red.

"You guys...... Old Lady Ji looked at Ji Xiaoyun and then at Xie Huaijin, and also smiled.

Her most concerned granddaughter can have today's happiness, she is in her eyes and happy in her heart.

"Women have a hard work, you have already experienced it, you don't have to listen to Huaijin." Mrs. Ji was happy in her heart, but she said with disgust on her lips.

"I—I hope to have a few more." Ji Xiaoyun hung her head, and her voice was low, "Seven catties can also be accompanied by a few more brothers and sisters." And, I, too, like children. ”

Ji Xiaotang found another thing that Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin have in common: both of them love children.

"Then I have to take care of my body." Mrs. Ji said.

Although Ji Xiaoyun's first child was born prematurely, she did not lose her body because of proper conditioning, which is also the main reason why Mrs. Ji did not prevent Ji Xiaoyun from regenerating.

If Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin only have seven catties each, she and Ji Er will have to worry.

"I'm almost done." Ji Xiaoyun's voice was still low.

"Sister, you won't be ...... again" Ji Xiaotang hugged Qijin, raised his head when he heard the sound, and asked Ji Xiaoyun with a smile.

"No, no." Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly smiled and shook her hand. She is not ~ pregnant, but she is ready to be pregnant ~ again, and today she came to pay tribute to Master Ji Er's birthday, and she also wanted to report this matter to her family.

Everyone understood Ji Xiaoyun's intentions.

"When I went back, I sent the imperial doctor of the palace to Shunyi Bofu to check my sister's pulse. When the doctor says it's okay, we can rest assured. Ji Xiaotang thought about it for a while, and then decided.

Old Mrs. Ji, Second Mrs. Ji and others all nodded.

Ji Xiaoyun knew that this was for her good, so of course she nodded in agreement.

"Qijin likes my aunt very much." Ji Xiaoyun said suddenly.

Between everyone talking, Ji Xiaotang has always been holding seven catties. Qijin didn't cry or make trouble in Ji Xiaotang's arms, and he looked very well-behaved. The usual seven catties are not like this, even if Ji Xiaoyun hugs her, she sometimes has to cry.

"That's fate. Qijin may know that it was Aunt Xiaotang who saved her life. Yang smiled beside him, and also stretched out his hand to hug seven catties.

Xuan'er's side was occupied by Ji Er, and she and Zhou Nianhong were embarrassed to speak, so they could only open their mouths to Ji Xiaotang and wanted to hold seven catties.

Although Ji Xiaotang was a little reluctant to give up seven catties, he still handed the little girl to the Yang family.

Zhou Nianhong immediately followed Yang to his side, and the two of them laughed with seven catties.

Yang and Zhou Nianhong's age is the time when they like children the most. A while ago, Ji Xiaotang sent the imperial doctor to check the pulse of the two of them, and both of them were also conditioning their bodies.

Ji Xiaotang asked Mrs. Ji with his eyes.

Mrs. Ji Er shook her head gently. (To be continued.) )
