Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji both took this into account and privately subsidized Zhou Nianhong a lot. Of course, Ji Xiaotang also understands Zhou Nianhong's family background, and when she went out, she had to help her with some head jewelry, not to mention that it was now a major event for Zhou Nianhong to get married, and this family affair was still her idea.

Ji Xiaotang gave Zhou Nianhong a set of red gold inlaid treasures and a set of red gold dotted emerald beads, and gave her four colored satins, four makeup flowers, four Shu brocade and four Hangzhou silk, in addition to a field deed.

It was a small village outside the capital, with 100 acres of fertile land and more than a dozen houses. Such a small Zhuangzi can be regarded as a property in Qingyuan, and in the capital, the value has increased several times.

Zhou Nianhong hurriedly stood up, she could accept the head jewelry and ruler with peace of mind, but Zhuang Tian refused to accept it.

She had never heard of someone using a farmhouse as a makeup appliance. Only those who have an excellent family background and feel very sorry for their daughter will take the farm house as a dowry.

"Since I gave it to you, you can just take it." Ji Xiaotang smiled, he must have someone stuff Tian Qi into Zhou Nianhong's hand. "I know that although something happened to your family, but there is money, you~ mother is willing to buy you a dowry. It's just that in this capital, it's hard to buy a farmhouse, and I just have it in my hand, and it's also my heart to give it to you. ”

"Don't be upset, if you are grateful, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Ji family in the future. You know, grandmother, my mother, all of us, we have chosen you as a person. ”

Ji Xiaotang said this, and Zhou Nianhong was still a little hesitant.

Mrs. Ji laughed.

"Xiaotang gave it to you. You take it, what is there? In the final analysis, these things will still belong to the children and grandchildren of the Ji family in the future! ”

Zhou Nianhong's dowry. In the future, it will naturally be left to her own children, which is naturally the bloodline of the Ji family.

When Mrs. Ji said this, everyone laughed along, saying that the old lady was really real.

Zhou Nianhong's face turned crimson, so she had no choice but to put away the title deed, even if she accepted Ji Xiaotang's makeup.

Master Ji wants to continue the strings, and the Ji family knows that Master Ji is unreliable. I was very worried about this matter, and now that Zhou Nianhong is decided, everyone is relieved.

The tenth day of the first month of winter. Most of the happy events in Xinhuatang.

On this day, only Qin Zhen went to Xinhuatang to drink the wedding wine, and Ji Xiaotang did not go. Her body is a little heavy now, which is not very necessary. I don't go out anymore.

Wait for Qin Zhen to come back. told Ji Xiaotang about the situation at the wedding.

Master Ji's family affairs are very lively, not only are there many guests, but even the palace has also sent rewards.

In addition to the rewards of the Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing and Empress Han, the noble concubine Ji Xiaolian also sent congratulatory gifts and sent someone to convey her message, asking Master Ji to take the bride into the palace to meet her.

This is all expected, Ji Xiaotang is not surprised.

Qin Zhen took off his coat and sat beside Ji Xiaotang with a slight smell of wine.

"It's a good family business. I think there are a few families who don't seem to be reconciled. It means that I still want to stuff people around the eldest master. Qin Zhen approached Ji Xiaotang and sniffed at Ji Xiaotang's neckline. He whispered.

Ji Xiaotang unceremoniously slapped Qin Zhen away.

Qin Zhen smiled good-naturedly, sat up slightly straighter, and still crooked, but didn't make any other moves. Ji Xiaotang can let him, and is happy to lean on him.

Her body was heavy, and leaning on Qin Zhen was much more comfortable than leaning on a pillow.

"The eldest master has already married, and they still have to stuff people, is it possible to ask their daughter to be a concubine in Xinhuatang?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Qin Zhen.

"That's fine." Qin Zhen smiled.

Those families not only have biological daughters, but also concubines, and there must be a lot of school-age women in the side branches.

"I sent someone to send a message to my grandmother, and if my grandmother was in the way, no matter who he was, she would not want to send someone into Xinhuatang." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen had heard a lot about Mrs. Ji's domineering and unreasonableness, and when he heard Ji Xiaotang say this, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Qin Zhen's wine today must be a little too much.

"Why are you so happy?" Ji Xiaotang changed the topic and asked Qin Zhen.

"I'm happy to think that our son is about to be born." Qin Zhen replied immediately.

"Nothing else?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

"Everything else, it's all trivial." Qin Zhen whispered.

In other words, there were other things, but Qin Zhen didn't take the initiative to say it, and Ji Xiaotang didn't ask anymore.

If it was really something important, Qin Zhen would naturally tell her.

……

Cining Palace

There was frost behind Mrs. Han, and Feng Changshuo, who was kneeling in front of her, lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This kind of situation can be said to be very rare, and those who know will understand that this must be something terrible, otherwise, how could Empress Dowager Han be willing to lose her temper with the Commander of the Feng, and how could the Commander of the Seal be so timid in front of the Empress Dowager Han.

“…… It's all because you're not strict! ”

Empress Dowager Han snorted coldly and reprimanded Feng Changshuo.

Feng Changshuo pleaded guilty again and again, and he didn't dare to defend himself at all.

He did this, but it made Empress Dowager Han's anger reduce a little.

Empress Dowager Han let Feng Changshuo kneel on the ground and ignored him. After a while, Mama Fang hurriedly walked in. Mama Fang walked up to the Empress Dowager Han and saluted, and then stepped forward and attached it to the Empress Dowager Han's ear, saying something like this.

"But have you figured it out?" Empress Dowager Han asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the Queen Mother, there is no more doubt." Mama Fang said firmly.

Empress Dowager Han drooped~ pulled down her eyelids, was silent for a moment, and then raised her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"I'll leave this matter to you." This sentence was instructed to Feng Changshuo.

Feng Changshuo immediately agreed, he understood that the Empress Dowager Han handed over this matter to him to deal with the aftermath, in fact, she gave him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes. Of course, he will not let go of such an opportunity.

Feng Changshuo's attitude made Empress Dowager Han feel a little better, so her tone of voice softened. After all. The man in front of her is the only man who can bring her happiness now, and no one can replace him for the time being.

“…… Do it cleanly. Don't be suspicious. …… If you don't do this well, don't come to see me again! ”

The last sentence was said with a hint of charm in its majesty.

When Feng Changshuo heard it in his ears, he felt that the soles of his feet were a little numb, and the words he said became sweeter and sweeter.

"Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will definitely handle this matter properly and atone for her sins."

"Go ahead." Empress Dowager Han glanced at Feng Changshuo and didn't say anything more. Instructed Feng Changshuo to go to work immediately.

Feng Changshuo saluted the Empress Dowager Han again, then stood up and withdrew from Cining Palace.

Wait for Feng Changshuo to leave. Empress Dowager Han exhaled slowly.

"Queen Mother......" Mama Fang looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Han, she was a little worried, and stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han waved her hand gently, signaling that Mama Fang didn't have to.

"I'm fine."

This thing. She just heard it. was shocked and very angry. But after that first moment, she didn't have the slightest emotion for the incident.

All she thought about was how to take advantage of the situation in her best interest.

It was precisely because of this intention that she decided to keep the child in Ji Xiaolian's belly and wipe Ji Xiaolian's fart~ strand clean.

"Your Majesty ...... there" After a pause, Empress Dowager Han asked Mama Fang.

Mama Fang understood what Empress Dowager Han was asking. The look on his face was quite complicated.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, He ......" had some words. Even Mama Fang is difficult to talk about in front of the Empress Dowager Han.

"You don't have to say it, I understand." After Empress Dowager Han finished saying this, she pursed her lips tightly. A hint of compassion flashed in her gaze, and then she returned to complete coldness.

This matter is naturally embarrassing for Emperor Longqing. Even if Emperor Longqing didn't take everything to heart, it would be impossible for him to be indifferent to such a thing. Getting rid of Ji Xiaolian and the child in her belly is the fastest and most effective way to wash away the shame of Emperor Longqing.

However, even if Emperor Longqing came to her to make such a request, Empress Dowager Han would not agree to him doing so.

However, Emperor Longqing did not come to see her, nor did he make any requests for her approach.

On the one hand, Empress Dowager Han breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was a certain place in her heart that became more and more uncomfortable.

However, she is used to being arbitrary, and she will not allow herself to think carefully about why she is so uncomfortable.

She is uncomfortable, the main reason is because of the unfavorable years, in recent years, God seems to be against her.

"Is Mr. Zhang back?" Empress Dowager Han suddenly thought of something, so she asked Mama Fang.

“…… has returned, and is waiting outside the main hall for the Queen Mother to summon him. "Manager Zhang was sent by the Empress Dowager Han to Xinhuatang to pass the decree, and after he came back, because he knew that the Empress Dowager Han was talking to Feng Changshuo, he waited outside, and he didn't dare to enter the main hall, nor did he dare to let people know.

"Let him come in and talk back." Empress Dowager Han commanded.

After a while, Manager Zhang was brought in, and he saluted the Empress Dowager Han and returned to his life.

Empress Dowager Han asked about the situation in Xinhuatang.

Manager Zhang told the Empress Dowager Han everything he saw and heard, but it was a lively event, and almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty went to Yunyun.

Empress Dowager Han was not interested in these things. It's just that people tend to be inflammatory, which is something she expected, and there is nothing unusual.

"It's rare that Concubine Ji's father actually got married to such a family." Empress Dowager Han sneered and said.

Master Ji's deeds~ things, Empress Dowager Han knows a little bit very well, and she also knows which people take the initiative to give their daughters to Master Ji to continue the strings.

But in the end, Master Ji married such a woman from a humble family.

"Empress Dowager Qi, it is said that this family affair is still the meaning of Princess An." Manager Zhang had already seen that the Empress Dowager Han was not in a good mood, and he said the news in order to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Han.

"This is Ji Xiaotang's idea?" Empress Dowager Han's eyes flashed, and she was immediately relieved. "It's really hers. Everywhere anticipates the enemy's opportunities, everywhere one step ahead. ”

"However, she was able to influence Concubine Ji's father's affairs?" This sentence is almost not a question, but the Empress Dowager Han's self-talk.

But Mr. Zhang doesn't think so.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi ......" Manager Zhang probed him, how Xinhuatang determined this family affair, and told Empress Dowager Han with added vinegar.

"I see." When Empress Dowager Han heard this, she nodded, "This is Ji Xiaotang's cleverness." ”

Know who should do what to do, rather than doing everything yourself.

"Ji Xiaotang......" Empress Dowager Han chewed on the name in her mouth, speaking of which, her feelings for Ji Xiaotang were a little complicated.

Originally, after Ji Xiaolian was pregnant and knew some of Master Ji's actions, she had some plans in her heart for Master Ji's continuation.

However, before she could put these plans into practice, Ji Xiaotang's side made a move first and set a family affair for Master Ji.

She can't say that Ji Xiaotang is against her, but Ji Xiaotang can always be one step ahead of her and disrupt her plans for the Ji family and the An Wangfu.

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Han couldn't help frowning, but she quickly thought of something else.

In that matter, Ji Xiaotang lost to her.

After knowing the true ~ appearance of Ji Xiaolian's pregnancy, she immediately thought of what Ji Xiaotang and the Ji family would do, so after the Yang family entered the palace, she immediately took Queen Han to Changchun ~ Palace.

Yang was still a little too tender, and she knew what Yang was going to do almost immediately at the first sight of her.

She protected the child in Ji Xiaolian's belly.

That should be what Ji Xiaotang doesn't want to see.

In the future, she will let Ji Xiaotang clearly see the use value of this child, and when the time comes, Ji Xiaotang will ask for the day before her.

Empress Dowager Han thought a little proudly, and forgot for a moment that the child's existence itself was the shame of the harem and her. She didn't seem to realize that her jealousy of Ji Xiaotang was already so deep.

……

In the winter of the tenth year of Longqing, the Beiban was stupid ~ stupid ~ wanted to move again, and sent troops to invade Zhenshan Pass several times, but they did not take advantage of it at all, and they were all resisted by Qi Younian's army.

In the capital, it is quiet and peaceful.

Concubine Ji is pregnant, and through various signs, it can be determined that this baby will be a little prince eight ~ nine times out of ten. Just ten years after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he finally had his own heirs.

There are successors to the throne, and the hearts of the courtiers gradually favor Emperor Longqing and the harem.

Approaching the end of the year, Emperor Longqing finally got better slowly after a serious illness. Emperor Longqing's illness this time was very dangerous, and the courtiers even had mental preparations, I was afraid that this year would not be successful, but they would have to hold a funeral for Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing's condition improved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, everyone could spend this New Year in peace.

Ji Xiaotang no longer goes out no matter how big or small, and she knows about Emperor Longqing's situation from Qin Zhen.

Emperor Longqing's current situation is even better than in his previous life.

It's pretty strange, almost miraculous. (To be continued.) )
