Chapter 125 Dragon Pony and Phoenix Chick
Xuan'er flattened her mouth, and then she cried out in shock, and her two fat and short ~ legs kicked hard.
Empress Dowager Han didn't seem to expect Xuan'er to be so powerful and cry so loudly, so she was startled. But Ji Xiaotang saw the opportunity and took Xuan'er over "easily".
Xuan'er entered Ji Xiaotang's arms, but she still cried. A small ~ face instantly cried red.
Empress Dowager Han had to let go of her hand.
As soon as Empress Dowager Han's hand left, Xuan'er's crying immediately stopped. A pair of big eyes looked at Ji Xiaotang with dripping, but there was not a single tear in his eyes.
Empress Dowager Han's hand was released, but her eyes remained on Xuan'er's face. She seemed a little embarrassed.
"Xuan'er is not very comfortable today...... Qin Zhen immediately stepped forward and said. In this way, they will have an excuse to leave early for a while, and if he doesn't want Xuan'er to enter the palace to see Empress Dowager Han in the future, there will be a reason.
In order to protect his son, Qin Zhen seems to be planning to use the old method used by Qin Lin.
"Don't be angry, Queen Mother," Ji Xiaotang explained to Empress Dowager Han with a smile, "Xuan'er sometimes has a little temper. ”
When Empress Dowager Han heard Ji Xiaotang say this, she also laughed.
“…… Xuan'er's appearance is seven or eight points similar to his imperial grandfather......" Empress Dowager Han said this by looking at Xuan'er's face.
Now Xuan'er is growing more and more, and her appearance combines the advantages of Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen. Empress Dowager Han said that he looked similar to Qin Zhen's father, which seems to be correct.
The appearance and size of the three brothers, Emperor Longqing, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, are similar to those of the first emperor.
Merely. This sentence came out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager Han, and it seemed to have other meanings, which were quite weighty.
"The queen mother is definitely right." Ji Xiaotang immediately smiled and responded. "People who have seen Xuan'er say that he looks like his father is carved out of a mold."
Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang and smiled.
“…… These big eyes, black and white, full of aura, ......, what, what is Xuan'er talking about? Oh......, it seems that Xuan'er, this kid, will definitely speak early in the future. ”
"Weak but able to speak......" Empress Dowager Han chanted. He paused.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
Although Empress Dowager Han only recited one sentence, this sentence was quickly spread, but it was spread very widely. The illiterate officials and palace ladies in the palace may be ignorant. However, those who were well-educated in the court knew the origin of this sentence.
"The Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, is called Xuanyuan. Born as a god, weak and able to speak, young and neat, long and sensitive, mature and intelligent. ”
Ji Xiaotang naturally knew the origin of this sentence, and she immediately understood the intention of the Empress Dowager Han.
It seems that Empress Dowager Han saw Qin Zhen's plan and wanted to further intensify the contradiction between Qin Zhen and Qin Lin. Empress Dowager Han is Jiang Xuan'er. And let them be roasted on the fire.
Ji Xiaotang understood in his heart. But his face refused to show it at all.
"I used to hear people say that the children are all good at home, and I still don't believe it, but today I really believe it when I see my mother treating Xuan'er like this. The grandchildren of the queen mother are naturally the best children in the world, and nothing good can be said about them, other people's children. That's no comparison. Ji Xiaotang smiled very happily.
"The Queen Mother is very loving, but I am afraid that the child is too young. I can't hold back ......," Qin Zhen also followed closely and said.
"Hey......" Empress Dowager Han immediately waved her hand, "That's how ordinary people raise children, what is rough and rough, and what is a cheap name to make a living." Our family, but we don't need those. What other blessings in this world can't be suppressed by our children! ”
What Empress Dowager Han said was very imposing.
"What the queen mother said is good, but this sentence is more suitable for His Majesty's dragon son. As for Xuan'er, we only hope that he can live a long and happy life and grow old safely. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
The smile on Empress Dowager Han's face suddenly stiffened.
Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen didn't seem to be aware of it.
Ji Xiaotang's words are not wrong, and they can be said to be very appropriate, except for one fact, that is, Emperor Longqing has no heirs, and there will be no heirs.
However, although this is a fact, it has been concealed by Empress Dowager Han and has never been willing to admit it.
Ji Xiaotang's words poked at the sore spot of the Empress Dowager Han. Ji Xiaotang herself knew that she said it on purpose. She has had enough of Empress Dowager Han today, and if she doesn't do this, she doesn't know what Empress Dowager Han will say next.
Sure enough, after Empress Dowager Han softened her face, she didn't say anything exaggerated to praise Xuan'er.
A palace maid stepped forward and changed the hot tea for Empress Dowager Han, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.
"This is Wuyi rock tea that was just delivered, and it tastes pretty good." Empress Dowager Han said to Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.
Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen both picked up the tea cups.
Empress Dowager Han glanced at the two of them, and the teacup just touched her lips and put it down.
Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen also immediately put down the teacup, and Qin Zhen proposed to leave.
Empress Dowager Han glanced at the two of them and did not stop them.
“…… Lonely in the palace, Xiaotang, you must often bring Xuan'er to see me in the future, don't always wait for me to summon you, you have to push back before you are willing to come on such a trip. In the end, Empress Dowager Han also added a meaningful sentence, "...... Far away from me, that's just the insight of a small family, and it can't become a big climate. You are different, and Xuan'er is not the same. ”
Returning to King An's Mansion from the palace, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen sat down in the house on the Xuchun Hall, and Xuan'er was also carried down to sleep by the nurse.
The husband and wife looked at each other and showed a wry smile.
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and immediately suppressed his smile.
"Xiaotang, do you have ......" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang with some eagerness.
"Don't worry," Ji Xiaotang raised his sleeves and let Qin Zhen see.
Ji Xiaotang is wearing makeup according to the grade, and he is wearing a court dress to enter the palace, which is not only very gorgeous, but also very complicated with three layers inside and three layers outside.
There is nothing unusual about the sleeves of her outer clothes, but the sleeves on the inside are a little wet~ wet. Qin Zhen looked at it and stretched out his hand. took out an object like a cloth bag and a leather bag from Ji Xiaotang's sleeve.
There was obviously something in the object, and it was liquid.
"The prince has instructed, how could I be careless. This is specially made for me by Mama Cheng. Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen with a smile.
Qin Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have Mama Cheng by your side. I should be reassured. ”
Mama Cheng has been in the palace for many years and is familiar with the personnel in the palace, and these tricks are also learned in the palace.
"Lord Wang, you're okay." Ji Xiaotang also asked Qin Zhen with concern.
"Xiaotang, have you forgotten that I grew up in the palace since I was a child?" Qin Zhen said with a smile.
Both husband and wife were relieved of each other. Although both of them understood that this time the Empress Dowager Han summoned them to the palace in order to further intensify the contradiction between King An's Mansion and King Su's Mansion. But the two of them were also guarding against Empress Dowager Han from attacking Ji Xiaotang.
With Empress Dowager Han's attitude towards Xuan'er today, it was only a matter of time before she attacked Ji Xiaotang.
Of course, there is still a lot to worry about. It is the hostility of Su Wangfu towards Xuan'er.
But even if there is no Empress Dowager Han's play today, Xuan'er's significance to Suwangfu will not change substantially.
Qin Zhen now completely believed in Ji Xiaotang's judgment. Empress Dowager Han went this time, not to attack Xuan'er, Ji Xiaotang was also very safe. Empress Dowager Han's move this time. The main purpose. is still pressing~ forcing Qin Zhen.
Empress Dowager Han was very dissatisfied with Qin Zhen's performance these days, she should have discovered Qin Zhen's intentions.
"Looks like I've got to do one or two more things." Qin Zhen thought for a moment before he said.
"That's the only way to go." Ji Xiaotang nodded in agreement, even if it is acting, it must be realistic and credible. Empress Dowager Han is a suspicious person, and King An's Mansion has secretly gained a lot of benefits, so she really wants to stay out of it. Not only did Empress Dowager Han and Qin Lin not allow it, but it was also completely impossible.
The husband and wife agreed. He lowered his voice and discussed what to do.
……
Cining Palace
Watching Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen leave with Xuan'er, Empress Dowager Han slowly put away the smile on her face. Her gaze fell on the two teacups next to her. Those two tea cups were used by Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.
Yang Pianpian saw it next to him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and checked the two tea cups.
There was still most of the tea left in the teacup, and Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen didn't drink much.
Empress Dowager Han snorted, with an unpredictable expression on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
In the past, at such a time, the people serving around her were all afraid to come out, let alone speak. The only person who can guess what Empress Dowager Han thinks at this time and dare to speak at this time is Mama Fang. But now Mama Fang is no longer alive and dead.
Fortunately, there is another person in Cining Palace who can almost replace Mama Fang.
Yang Pianpian approached the Empress Dowager Han lightly, leaned down~ leaned down, and whispered a few words in the ear of the Empress Dowager Han.
She also checked the two teacups used by Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang that were removed before, and there was only less than half a cup of tea left, and Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen had both drunk the previous tea.
Empress Dowager Han glanced at Yang Pianpian, and her face was slightly pale.
"Pianpian, you also saw Xuan'er's child today, right?" Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked Yang Pianpian, her demeanor had become very soft.
"Yes, I am standing behind the Queen Mother, and I can see the little prince of Anwangfu very clearly." Yang Pianpian lowered her eyelids, her eyes flashed slightly, but she looked low and pleasing to the eyes, very respectful and soft.
"In your opinion, how is that kid Xuan'er?" Empress Dowager Han asked again.
Yang Pianpian couldn't help but hesitate.
Such a question should not be asked to such a palace maid as her, even if she is now a confidant of Empress Dowager Han. Empress Dowager Han asked her like this, it was unlikely that she valued her opinion of Qin Xuan.
Could it be that Empress Dowager Han is also lonely?
Such an answer may be a bit unbelievable, but Yang Pianpian thinks that this is the correct answer.
Others may not know, but because she serves by the side of the Empress Dowager Han almost all the time, she understands in her heart that since Mama Fang is gone, the Empress Dowager Han is really a little lonely.
"How dare I evaluate the little prince of King An's mansion. But the Queen Mother really wants to ask, in my opinion, the little prince of King An's Mansion is a very likable child. Although he is still young, he can also see that he will be smart and handsome in the future. Yang Pianpian thought about it, and then answered the question of the Empress Dowager Han softly.
In this case, it is equivalent to saying it in vain, because it has no practical meaning. In this way, it applies to almost all children in the world.
And just as Yang Pianpian expected, Empress Dowager Han just wanted an interesting person to talk casually, and she didn't really expect her to say any insightful opinions.
"You're right." Empress Dowager Han bowed slightly, "...... Father and mother are both beautiful characters, and this child will not be bad when he grows up. …… A pair of eyes are clever and strong, and the arms and legs are quite strong......"
Empress Dowager Han's eyes drifted a little away, as if she was thinking back to when she got along with Xuan'er.
“…… It's almost exactly the same as when his father was a child, but he is more clever than his father. ”
Empress Dowager Han seemed to think of Qin Zhen's appearance when he was a child again.
Yang Pianpian raised her eyes and glanced at Empress Dowager Han, she knew that Empress Dowager Han was in a pretty good mood at the moment. When Empress Dowager Han is in a good mood, the decent people who serve around her can be a little bolder.
"The Queen Mother is very much in love with the little prince of Anwangfu. Xiao Shizi is less than a year old, how can he see that he is more clever than Prince An? ”
"When he's his age, he won't fake crying!"
Yang Pianpian asked with a smile, and Empress Dowager Han also answered with a smile.
"Such a young child, will you fake crying?" Yang Pianpian continued to ask with a smile.
"Why not, you see that he is in my hands, it doesn't rain when it thunders, and as soon as he returns to her mother's arms, he immediately smiles. He was old back then, but he didn't learn this until he was a few years old. Empress Dowager Han immediately said.
"There really is such a thing!" Yang Pianpian laughed.
"He's like this, not like him, he must be like his mother." Empress Dowager Han seemed to be talking to herself.
"Princess An is indeed scheming, and she is the best at concealing people." Yang Pianpian still had a smile on her face, but her face was a little gloomy.
Empress Dowager Han glanced at Yang Pianpian and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I just said that the little prince of King An's Mansion is not something you can comment, why didn't I ask you this time, you dare to say this about Princess An?"
Yang Pianpian immediately pounced and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Han.
"The servant knows it's wrong. The servant Fang couldn't help but lose his mouth for a while. I also ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins, and the maid must abide by the words of the Queen Mother, try to forget the past, and never dare to be disrespectful to Princess An again. Yang Pianpian looked sincerely frightened.
"Well, get up. I didn't say anything about you. Empress Dowager Han's face became more and more kind, "I can't help it, even God, I can't control it." ”
In the latter sentence, Empress Dowager Han said very lightly.
However, Yang Pianpian heard clearly, and she seemed to understand something.
On the other side, Empress Dowager Han's praise for Xuan'er soon spread throughout the government and the opposition. Thinking that Emperor Longqing once personally visited King An's Mansion in the full moon of Xuan'er, the courtiers seemed to understand something.
Empress Dowager Han wanted to intensify the contradiction between Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, but at the same time paved the way to the throne for Xuan'er. (To be continued.) )
