Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Turning Point

As soon as the situation in Daqin showed signs of improvement, Empress Dowager Han moved her mind to take Changning back.

This matter, when Empress Dowager Han told Emperor Longqing, it was also a just thought. It's just that this thought is like a spark that has not only never been extinguished, but also burned more and more.

Despite this, Empress Dowager Han didn't mention this matter to anyone again, she was waiting, waiting for the best time.

In July, the summer heat gradually receded, and the bulge between Ji Xiaotang's waist ~ abdomen became more and more obvious, although so, because she was tall and extremely slender, her whole figure did not look bloated.

Naturally, her fetus had already sat firmly, and the imperial physician of the palace came to check the pulse regularly, saying that both Ji Xiaotang and the fetus in her womb were very healthy.

Maybe it's because she has practiced riding and archery, and her physical foundation is better than that of ordinary people, Ji Xiaotang, who is pregnant, rarely has poor spirits, except for a little joy in the first month or two, and then she is no different from ordinary people.

Her situation is good, and Qin Zhen is also up to her in many things, so although she is pregnant, she still takes care of the affairs of the palace, and Qin Zhen will still talk to her and discuss anything outside.

Immediately after the good news of Qi Younian's Tuntian, there was another good news from Xinhuatang.

Ji Xiaoyun is pregnant.

This news was told to Ji Xiaotang by Mrs. Ji Er in person.

"Yesterday I went to see your sister in Shunyi Bofu, and I was catching up with her who was a little uncomfortable, so I invited Lang Zhong to come and see it, saying that it was Ximai. Your sister is confused about other things, but she knows more about this than you do......"

It turned out that Ji Xiaoyun had already suspected that she was pregnant. Therefore, I paid attention, because I didn't invite Lang Zhong so early, I was afraid that the time was still shallow. Lang Zhong's pulse is not accurate.

Ji Xiaoyun has now asked for an edict, she is Mrs. Shunyi, but her Mrs. Shunyi is not comparable to other Mrs. Uncle, let alone Ji Xiaotang.

Uncle Shunyi doesn't have such a big face, so he can invite many doctors to come to the door for consultation, and he can determine the happy pulse early.

"Count the days, your sister's baby has been more than a month." Mrs. Ji said happily.

That's it. Ji Xiaoyun was pregnant three months after marrying into Shunyi Bofu, which can be said to be extremely early.

It seems that Ji Xiaoyun is actually a good body.

"You sisters both have a home. And I'm pregnant again, and your father and I are really pleased. ”

Although Ji Xiaotang was pregnant more than half a year after marrying into the palace, she was slightly younger because she was younger. It's also very valuable in comparison. The two daughters, Master Ji and Mrs. Ji Er. They are all pregnant after less than a year of entering the door, and in the eyes of the world, they are very commendable and enviable.

"Xiaotang, it's not that I favor one over the other. Your sister is pregnant, and your father and I are so excited that we hardly sleep all night. Your sister's fate has been bumpy, and it is not easy to be where she is today. ”

As Mrs. Ji spoke, she was a little emotional.

Originally, she was already prepared in her heart, so she kept Ji Xiaoyun at home for the rest of her life. I don't hope she will get married and have children.

Ji Xiaoyun's current situation is not only her own happiness. It also made Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er overjoyed.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't eat my sister's vinegar. My sister has today, and I like to hear about it. Moreover, Ji Xiaotang's happiness today is still what she tried her best to promote.

"My mother knows, my mother knows." Mrs. Ji nodded again and again.

Knowing that Ji Xiaoyun was pregnant, Ji Xiaotang was also very happy, and immediately told Mama Cheng to go to the warehouse to pick up some good things.

"I told the prince that I would go to see my sister tomorrow. My sister's body is okay, are you happy? Ji Xiaotang asked Mrs. Ji.

"She's not as strong as you, and she's a little happy, but she looks in good spirits. Xiaotang, now that you are heavy, you have to discuss everything with the prince, especially when you go out. It would be better if the prince could accompany you. ”

Mrs. Ji's meaning, Ji Xiaotang cares about Ji Xiaoyun in his heart, but he should also focus on his own body.

"Mother, I know the severity." Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded, "My sister is pregnant, what is Huaijin like?" ”

Speaking of Xie Huaijin, Mrs. Ji Er shook her head with a smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Almost stupid with joy......"

Hearing Mrs. Ji describe Xie Huaijin's appearance, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

Not to mention Xie Huaijin, it's Qin Zhen, after knowing that she was pregnant, some of her behavior was also very naΓ―ve, looking stupid.

"Xiaotang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." After Ji Xiaotang laughed, Mrs. Ji Er proposed another thing.

"If my mother has something to say, just say it."

"Your sister is not as good as you, and Shunyi Bofu is not as good as Anwangfu. Your sister is pregnant, and I'm worried about her. …… Can you let your sister and Huai Jin move to Xinhuatang temporarily, I can take care of it. ”

Regarding Mrs. Ji's request, Ji Xiaotang did not nod immediately, but groaned.

After Ji Xiaoyun married Xie Huaijin, the Ji family had already mastered most of the Shunyi Bofu, but it was only the majority. With the help of King An's Mansion, the Ji family was not unable to fully control the Shunyi Bofu, and the reason why they didn't do so was that they didn't want to arouse the suspicion of the harem.

In this case, considering the temperament of Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun, Mrs. Ji's worries are not groundless.

This matter, I'm afraid it is also what Mrs. Ji meant.

"Mother, I have to discuss this matter with the prince." After groaning, Ji Xiaotang said to Mrs. Ji.

"It's nature." Mrs. Ji nodded happily.

Such a big thing is related to all aspects, Qin Zhen must nod, and only Qin Zhen can succeed if he maneuvers around it.

Qin Zhen was not in the mansion at the moment, and when Qin Zhen returned to the mansion, Ji Xiaotang immediately sent someone to invite him to Xuchun Hall.

After Qin Zhen and Second Mrs. Ji saw each other, they sat down next to Ji Xiaotang, and when Qin Zhen said his greetings, Ji Xiaotang said that Ji Xiaoyun was pregnant ~ pregnant, and Mrs. Ji's thoughts were said.

"This matter, does the prince think it will work?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen.

"Mother-in-law must take care of it herself, so that she can rest assured?" Qin Zhen lowered his head and thought about it. Only then did he raise his head and ask Mrs. Ji.

"yes." Mrs. Ji Er nodded, and asked cautiously, "Do this." Will it get in the way of big things? ”

"It doesn't hurt." Qin Zhen said.

Qin Zhen said that it was okay, then the next thing would be easy to do.

"According to my meaning, one guest is not bothered by the two masters, it is better to pack some things and ask for which one is the most convenient." Ji Xiaotang proposed.

She only said that one, and did not name him, but whether it was Qin Zhen or Mrs. Ji. But they all immediately understood who she was talking about.

"It's a great way to do that." Qin Zhen agreed.

"That's great, I'll let your dad do it when I get back." Mrs. Ji said happily.

Sent away the happy Mrs. Ji and returned to Xuchun Hall. The husband and wife sat down opposite each other to talk.

"Is this really a hindrance?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen.

"The Queen Mother is thinking about other things now, so she shouldn't pay more attention to this matter." Qin Zhen said.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"That said, I'm still a little worried."

"Xiaotang. What are you worried about? ”

"I'm worried. The Queen Mother will see the truth~ phase. ”

Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin got married, and it was the Empress Dowager Han who decreed the marriage, with the purpose of revenge on the Ji family. At that time, the Ji family did not show sad and sad emotions, so it can be said that they are dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't say if they are bitter.

But after Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin got married, Xinhuatang and Shunyi Bofu had dense contacts, and the smiles on Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin's faces were filled with joy. None of them can be fooled.

And for a long time, the Ji family has taken care of Shunyi Bofu. You can't hide it.

If Empress Dowager Han gets the news, I am afraid that she will understand that her holy decree not only failed to succeed in taking revenge on the Ji family, but instead contributed to a good marriage, making the Ji family and Ji Xiaoyun live happily.

How could Empress Dowager Han tolerate such an outcome?

However, happiness cannot be concealed, like gold and silver.

One day, Empress Dowager Han will know the true ~ phase.

can't let the Ji family and Ji Xiaoyun pretend to be painful all the time, they can't pretend, and they can't pretend for a lifetime.

"The family affair has been completed, your sister is pregnant, the Queen Mother is annoyed, what else can I do. Even if she makes a move, we're not wooden people. When the time comes, the water will come to cover the earth, and the soldiers will come to block it. Qin Zhen comforted Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang felt that what Qin Zhen said was very reasonable, so he nodded and stopped care.

The next day, Qin Zhen deliberately took leave and accompanied Ji Xiaotang to bring a lot of gifts to Shunyi Bofu.

Mrs. Ji Er knew that Ji Xiaotang would come to Shunyi Bofu today, and when she went home, she came with Mrs. Ji Er. Therefore, when Ji Xiaotang got off the carriage at the second gate of Shunyi Bofu, he saw a large group of people waiting in front of the second gate.

Everyone stepped forward, greeted Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang, said hello a little, and went to the main hall of Shunyi Bofu to sit down.

This is the first time that Ji Xiaotang has come to Shunyi Bofu after Ji Xiaoyun got married.

She looked left and right, and nodded, compared to before, Shunyi Bofu has undergone some slight changes, becoming more warm, more like a home.

These are naturally the results of the Ji family's help in business.

"Yesterday, my mother sent someone to say it. Xiaotang, your body is heavy, just send someone to see me, and come with the prince in person, so I can't afford it. Ji Xiaoyun blushed slightly and said to Ji Xiaotang.

"What kind of polite words does my sister say, no matter how heavy my body is, I can't go anywhere else, but my sister must come here. Even if you don't welcome me, I'll come. I'm going to be my aunt's person. Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Ji Xiaoyun smiled shyly.

Xie Huaijin sat on the side, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled, as Mrs. Ji said, she was a little silly when she laughed.

"Xiaotang, I'm glad you're here. Xiaoyun and I are very happy. "So many people, except for Qin Zhen, are people who are extremely close to him, and Xie Huaijin also dares to speak loudly with peace of mind.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." Ji Xiaotang's tone was soft, but with heavy affection.

If it weren't for Ji Xiaoyun being diagnosed as pregnant on the day she returned home, she would have planned to come to Shunyi Bofu to visit Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin after they got married.

"I'll be relieved to see that you're doing well." Ji Xiaotang said again.

Ji Xiaoyun already had a somewhat sentimental temperament, but when she heard Ji Xiaotang say this, her eyes turned red.

"Xiaotang, I know, you are really good to us. I have done a lot of work for us. We are here today thanks to you. Ji Xiaoyun also revealed her true feelings.

"Sister's words are out of sight." Ji Xiaoyun lowered her head, and Ji Xiaotang stretched out his hand. I touched ~ to the top of Ji Xiaoyun's hair and rubbed it gently.

She is a human being in two lives, Ji Xiaoyun said that she was her sister, but in her eyes, she treated Ji Xiaoyun as a little sister. When Ji Xiaoyun is not angry, she is angry with her and annoyed with her, and she can teach her a lesson. But wait for Ji Xiaoyun to behave. Or she was wronged, and she was anxious for her, and she felt sorry for her.

Ji Xiaotang is dedicated to Ji Xiaoyun's good. She is also dedicated to Xie Huaijin's good.

"Your sisters are harmonious, and you are all harmonious and beautiful, I am the happiest in my heart, and I will be able to close my eyes in the future." Mrs. Ji said.

"Grandmother lived a long life. It's hard to say such a thing. We will naturally be in harmony and harmony. Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Xiaotang is right." Mrs. Ji happily closed her mouth.

Everyone was talking, but they didn't pay attention to Xie Huaijin for a while.

Xie Huaijin really saw that Ji Xiaoyun's eyes were red, so he immediately blushed anxiously, he rubbed ~ his hands and stood up, and walked quickly to Ji Xiaoyun's side. A little clumsily took out a stone blue handkerchief, and went to wipe the corners of Ji Xiaoyun's eyes.

"Xiaoyun, don't cry. Xiaoyun don't cry. While doing this, Xie Huaijin's mouth was still coaxing, and the attitude and tone were as if he was coaxing a young child.

Everyone was a little stunned.

Ji Xiaoyun's face became more and more red, she was a little hurried, but she didn't gently push Xie Huaijin away.

"I'm not crying, I'm happy." Ji Xiaoyun told Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin was a little at a loss.

When you look at it, you will inevitably have mixed feelings in your heart.

Ji Xiaotang was also happy on the one hand, Xie Huaijin was so concerned about Ji Xiaoyun, but he was also a little sad. If it was a good Xie Huaijin, how could he not tell Ji Xiaoyun's joy and sorrow!

But looking at Ji Xiaoyun again, she was only ashamed and happy, and there was no sign of anger.

"I didn't cry, I was happy. I'm glad that everybody came to see us today. After Ji Xiaoyun pushed Xie Huaijin away, she patiently explained to Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin quickly accepted Ji Xiaoyun's words and happily returned to his seat and sat down.

Ji Xiaotang's heart suddenly brightened.

What is the vision of the world, the most important thing is that Ji Xiaoyun is happy.

"Is my sister crying a lot, why do I see Brother Huaijin acting so skillfully?" Ji Xiaotang pretended to ask seriously, in fact, with a full sense of joke.

Ji Xiaoyun's face was the thinnest, and it was red to the root of her ears all of a sudden.

"Could it be that Brother Huaijin is still bullying his sister?" Ji Xiaotang deliberately asked again.

"No, no." Ji Xiaoyun endured the shame, and waved her hand and replied, "How could he bully me, only I bullied him." ”

After Ji Xiaoyun married into Shunyi Bofu, she did cry a few times in front of Xie Huaijin, and Xie Huaijin was also as distressed and nervous as she is now. However, Ji Xiaoyun's several times of crying were not because she had been wronged, twice, she was happy, and once, it was because she thought of her previous experience, and she was a little sad.

Hearing Ji Xiaoyun's shy explanation, everyone was relieved.

"It's great, it's wonderful." Second Master Ji said in a low voice.

Both sisters are pregnant, and there are more things to say, so Ji Xiaotang asked people to present all the things she brought, except for a few rulers, most of them are supplements for the body and the fetus.

"I've used them before, I think it's good, and I prepared one for my sister. From now on, my sister doesn't have to go outside to find Langzhong Taiyi for pulse diagnosis, I have already told the prince that the imperial doctor of the palace will come to check my sister's pulse regularly. If my sister has anything to do, just send someone to King An's Mansion, and the imperial doctor of King An's Mansion will be on call. ”

Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly thanked Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.

Mrs. Ji, Mr. Ji Er, and Mrs. Ji Er were all very satisfied.

Master Ji Er got down to business again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've already gone to check it out, and the man has come down, so there should be news soon. Second Master Ji told Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

That person's influence on the Empress Dowager Han was clear to both Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang. Moreover, this matter is not big or small, how to deal with it depends on the mind of the Empress Dowager Han, the gift used by the second master Ji can satisfy that person, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

When they said these words, they didn't carry Ji Xiaoyun behind their backs.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Ji Xiaoyun sensitively realized that it was related to her, but she didn't ask Second Master Ji, but asked Second Mrs. Ji.

"That's what my mother told you that day." Mrs. Ji Er told Ji Xiaoyun that she would take her back to Xinhuatang to raise the baby.

"What about Huai Jin, I'd better stay here and accompany Huai Jin." Ji Xiaoyun said immediately.

"Huai Jin naturally followed you to Xinhuatang, and Xinhuatang has no shortage of accommodation for the two of you." Mrs. Ji Er was a little helpless and a little relieved.

Ji Xiaoyun nodded immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

Old Lady Ji nodded with satisfaction on the side.

As everyone expected, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji handed an excerpt to the Empress Dowager Han, saying that Ji Xiaoyun was weak and now pregnant and wanted to take her home to recuperate, and the Empress Dowager Han quickly gave an approval and agreed to the request of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Ji Xiaoyun was taken into Xinhua Hall, and Shunyi Bo Xie Huaijin also moved in, and no one in the court raised any objections.

At this moment, this matter is no longer a big deal, and it can't attract people's attention at all.

The heat dissipated, the autumn wind gradually rose, and Qi Younian sent back the good news from Zhenshan Pass again.

Since the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, Zhenshanguan has also completed the autumn harvest, another batch of grain into storage, the grain and grass of the Zhenshanguan garrison has been fully guaranteed, and most of the displaced people who moved to the north can barely fill their stomachs.

Not only that, but the famine in Daqin gradually improved.

This is something to be greatly celebrated, and the court was excited about it for several days, until one day, the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing went to the palace together.

For the first time, Empress Dowager Han proposed in the court that she wanted to contact Beiban and take Changning back to the province. (To be continued.) )
