Chapter 157: Happy Event

When the gold car was disassembled, someone dared to buy it, and after calculating it, it made more money by selling it in this way. As for the money earned, it was naturally sent to Zhenshan Pass as soon as possible and used as military salary.

Ji Xiaotang's move caused a sensation for a while, and won a considerable reputation for Ji Xiaotang and King An's Mansion. However, in the midst of the praise, there are other voices mixed in.

The golden car was carefully made by the first emperor, and its significance is extraordinary, and Ji Xiaotang's actions are quite shocking and rebellious in the eyes of some people.

However, these voices were quickly drowned out. At this time, all the court was thinking about how to deal with the army of the Northern Barbarians, and Ji Xiaotang was able to generously donate the golden car, which was particularly impressive.

Of course, there is another person who is dissatisfied with this matter.

That is the Empress Dowager Han.

After Empress Dowager Han knew that Ji Xiaotang had dismantled and sold the golden car, she didn't eat for a whole day, and then she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

Empress Dowager Han was very distressed.

The golden car is really meaningful to her, and in desperation, she gave the golden car to Ji Xiaotang, but at the same time she had other thoughts. The golden car tree is a big move, and Ji Xiaotang, as Princess An, owning the golden car is not a blessing, but a disaster.

Not to mention what others think, King Su Qin Lin and Princess Zheng Gui will definitely not be able to see it.

Jealousy is the most poisonous and incurable poison in the world.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Han did not think that one day in the future, this golden car would return to her hands. She gave the golden car to Ji Xiaotang. It's just that Ji Xiaotang wants to keep it for her for a while.

The golden car will still belong to her in the end.

But Ji Xiaotang not only sold the golden car, but also dismantled it into pieces and sold it. There is no more golden chariot in this world. This is to completely destroy the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep, she gritted her teeth with hatred for Ji Xiaotang, but she still had to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, not only did she not dare to show any dissatisfaction, but she also had to praise Ji Xiaotang in front of everyone, saying that Ji Xiaotang did a good job.

These days, Empress Dowager Han not only has to deal with the military situation in Zhenshanguan with all her might. I have to endure all kinds of heartache, and I have to say that my life is extremely aggrieved.

Ji Xiaotang didn't go to the palace these days, but he could guess what kind of reaction the Empress Dowager Han would have. And don't care about it at all.

It can't be said that she doesn't care at all, knowing that Empress Dowager Han is uncomfortable, she is actually happy.

In this way, in April, the fighting at Zhenshanguan became even more intense. On this day, Qin Zhen came back from the court. Bring Ji Xiaotang a new message.

Because of the tense war in the north, the mighty Hou Ye wrote to the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing, requesting to go to Zhenshan Pass.

He went to Zhenshan Pass, either temporarily replaced Qi Younian, or guarded Zhenshan Pass with Qi Younian. The former can give Qi Younian some respite.

After all, Qi Younian has been guarding Zhenshanguan for several years, and he has never returned to the capital during this period.

Wei Wuhou asked for this, and there were some selfishness in it.

Qi You has long reached the age of marrying a wife and having children. But they have not yet married, let alone left any heirs. Now the war is tight. The father and son of the Qi family are ready to die on the battlefield.

The mighty Hou Ye hopes to let Qi Younian temporarily return to the capital, recuperate for some time, marry him, and leave a little blood.

Of course, this is just a little selfishness on the part of the Mighty Hou Ye and the Mighty Marquis Lady Qin. If Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing did not agree, they would not have any complaints.

The Marquis of Weiwu is willing to go to the north and cooperate with Qi Younian's father and son to defend the town.

With such a father and son guarding Zhenshan, it is undoubtedly more secure and has more hope of winning.

However, Empress Dowager Han didn't listen to the request of the Marquis of Weiwu at all, and simply refused his request.

Empress Dowager Han issued another decree to let the mighty marquis command the five battalions of soldiers and horses outside the capital, responsible for patrolling Gyeonggi and guarding the safety of the capital, and the original commander of the five battalions of soldiers and horses was transferred to Zhenshan Pass by the Empress Dowager Han and obeyed the orders of Qi Younian.

"The mighty Marquis is loyal and brave, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are willing to let him go to Zhenshan Pass to cooperate with Ayou to defend the town, but unfortunately the Queen Mother refuses to agree." Qin Zhen sighed.

If the mighty marquis goes to Zhenshan Pass, maybe the war with the Northern Barbarians will end earlier, and it will be very beneficial to the ~country~Yu~ people.

Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"What does the Queen Mother think, can't the prince guess it?"

"I can't guess it, I'm just angry with her, I don't forget to play my own little abacus at this time, and I don't care about the overall situation at all." Qin Zhen's palm slapped on the table, obviously very indignant at Empress Dowager Han's disposition.

Empress Dowager Han was afraid.

Feng Changshuo, the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the palace, was her person, and the commander of the five battalions outside the capital was also her person, however, Empress Dowager Han still felt uneasy. Feng Changshuo is reluctant to be replaced, and in her opinion, there is no more suitable candidate, but the commander of the five battalions of soldiers and horses is different.

Empress Dowager Han believed in his loyalty, but did not trust his talents, so she let the Marquis of Weiwu take his place.

In the opinion of the Empress Dowager Han, there is her own little lover guarding the palace, and there are powerful marquis who can fight well outside the capital to lead the guards, so she feels stable.

She is on guard, in case someone takes advantage of the fact that the troops in Daqin are gathered in Zhenshan Pass, and when the interior is empty, someone will launch a palace mutiny. And with the mighty Marquis guarding Gyeonggi, no one dared to act rashly.

I have to say that Empress Dowager Han's arrangement is very shrewd.

If there is anyone who is most loyal to Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing now, that person is none other than the Marquis of Might. The mighty marquis is in Beijing, and no one dares to make any trouble.

After all, the mighty marquis can be good at fighting and has outstanding military achievements, who has the confidence to be able to dress up the mighty marquis!

"It's just that in this way, the burden on Ayou's shoulders is getting heavier and heavier." Speaking of Qi Younian, Ji Xiaotang's gaze was a little distant.

Although Qi Younian still sent war reports to Beijing regularly, the letters to her were getting shorter and shorter, which shows how tense the war on the front line was.

Ji Xiaotang felt a little sorry for Qi Younian, but she also knew it. She couldn't help much, except to help raise military salaries and food.

After the golden car, she also took out some of her private room. anonymously donated two times of military salary, hoping to help Qi Younian more.

She did not hide it from Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen did not object.

In May, Master Ji San finally returned to the capital.

Knowing the date of Master Ji San's arrival in Tongzhou, Qin Zhen sent his henchmen to take Master Ji San and his party into the capital. Ji Xiaotang was ready early. She didn't go to Xinhuatang, but together with Qin Zhen, she brought Xuan'er and Qin Ying. Go out of the capital to Shili Pavilion to greet Master Ji San.

Because they were in a hurry, they arrived a little early, and there was no trace of Master Ji San's convoy.

Qin Zhen personally helped Ji Xiaotang get out of the car. I went to the Ten Mile Pavilion and sat down. Ji Xiaotang just sat down. There was a palace attendant who went to Tongzhou to greet Master Ji San, and he came on horseback, saying that Master Ji San would arrive immediately.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't sit still in the pavilion, she stood up and looked in the direction of Tongzhou.

After a while, I saw the smoke and dust rolling on the official road in Tongzhou, getting closer and closer, so close that Ji Xiaotang could clearly see a tall horse running in jujube red in front of a long team of carriages and horses.

Jujube red horse takes the lead. Leave the team behind you far behind, and work for a moment. It rolled up to the gazebo and cut close.

Ji Xiaotang finally saw the person on the horse clearly.

"Uncle......" Ji Xiaotang shouted happily, and quickly walked out of the pavilion and ran down the steps.

Master Ji San also saw Ji Xiaotang on the horse, and before the horse stopped, he jumped down from it, stretching his arms while facing Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang ......" Master Ji San laughed and took Ji Xiaotang into the crook of his arm.

Ji Xiaotang was pricked in the face by Master Ji San's beard, and was immediately lifted up by Master Ji San. Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Uncle......" Ji Xiaotang smiled and slapped Master Ji San's shoulder and motioned for him to let himself down.

Not only is she no longer a little girl, but she is also a mother, and she has become the princess of Anwangfu, just behind her, not only Qin Zhen watched with a pair of children, but also many subordinates in the palace.

Ji Xiaotang's face turned red, more than half because of excitement and happiness, and less because he felt a little embarrassed.

Master Ji San was so happy, he didn't hear what Ji Xiaotang said at all, or he heard it, but he pretended not to hear it, and still held Ji Xiaotang up and down.

"My family's Xiaotang's whereabouts are getting better and better, my uncle has traveled to many places, and he has seen a lot of beauties, so there is nothing that can be compared with my Xiaotang."

"Uncle, what nonsense!" Ji Xiaotang slapped Master Ji San again.

Master Ji San smiled even more cheerfully.

"Uncle!" At this time, Qin Zhen hugged Xuan'er, walked over with Qin Ying, and shouted uncle behind Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji San put Ji Xiaotang down unsatisfied.

"Lord Wang......" Master Ji San leaned over and saluted Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen hurriedly stretched out a hand and held Master Ji San.

"Uncle has come back from afar, so there is no need to be polite."

Master Ji San was supported by Qin Zhen, so he took advantage of the situation to stand up, and a pair of eyes fell on Xuan'er's body.

Xuan'er also looked at Master Ji San with wide eyes. He was so curious about the strange bearded man in front of him. It's because of this person that just now his mother~ relatives left him and ran out of the pavilion by themselves, ignoring him shouting behind his back~ relatives. Then, it was also this strange man who actually lifted his mother~ relatives high.

By the way, before he was raised high, this bearded man also used his beard to pierce his mother's ~ kiss's face.

This person, for Xuan'er, is really a novelty.

"This ...... This is Xuan'er! Master Ji San opened his mouth first, with a surprised and happy expression on his face, which was simply a little stunned.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang responded with a smile next to him, "This is Xuan'er." ”

"Xuan'er!" Master Ji San stretched out his arm towards Xuan'er, "When I left, this little guy was still in your belly, and now he has grown so big." ”

Xuan'er saw that Master Ji San stretched out his hand to him, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang also smiled and looked at him expectantly, but the little guy rolled his eyes, but he ignored Master Ji San, but turned his body and fell into Qin Zhen's arms, only looking at Master Ji San from the corner of his eye.

Xuan'er's small appearance made Master Ji San laugh.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stepped forward, held one of Xuan'er's hands, and told him: "Xuan'er, this is your little grandfather, my mother has told you many times, that little grandfather." Xuan'er, call the little grandpa! ”

Xuan'er was coaxed by Ji Xiaotang, so she turned her head and looked at Master Ji San.

"Little grandpa......" Xuan'er finally screamed in a milky voice, and the pronunciation was very clear.

This made Master Ji San so happy that he almost danced with his hands, and he didn't care about that little word at all.

"Hey, hey," Master Ji San agreed repeatedly, "Good grandson, give grandpa a hug." ”

Perhaps infected by Master Ji San's emotions, Xuan'er finally stopped being awkward, and her round~ rolling little body leaned towards Master Ji San.

Qin Zhen handed Xuan'er to Master Ji San.

Master Ji San is like a treasure, and his posture of holding Xuan'er is very skillful.

"Good Xuan'er, take a good look at grandpa, well, it looks like you~ mother, it's too similar, almost exactly the same as you~ mother when she was a child." Master Ji San hugged Xuan'er, looked up and down carefully, and kept talking, "You~ When my mother was young, I held it like this." Haha, these days are really fast, in the blink of an eye, you~ mother gave birth to you, and you have grown so big. ”

Xuan'er didn't recognize life in the first place, and after sitting in the arms of Master Ji San for a while, she became familiar with Master Ji San, and was amused by Master Ji San and giggled.

While he smiled, he stretched out his hand and touched ~ to the face of Master Ji San.

Master Ji San has a beard all over his face, which is very novel for Xuan'er.

Xuan'er curiously touched Ji San's beard, and felt a little prickly, but it was more itchy, which made him laugh even more happily, and turned his head to let Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang come to take a look, and they all came to touch~ touch.

Qin Zhen smiled but did not speak.

Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji San.

"Uncle, why did you grow a beard. It's just at sea, no one sees it, but this time, if it is seen by my grandmother, I can't frighten my grandmother! ”

Master Ji San laughed.

"It's really on the sea, don't look at the beard, it's very sunscreen, my face is not sunburned, thanks to this beard."

Ji Xiaotang laughed, knowing that Master Ji San was talking nonsense again.

"I'm in a hurry on the way back, I can't wait to get to you in a moment, and I don't have time to take care of it. I'll go back later, and if the old lady really doesn't like it, I'll scrape it, and it's out of the way. Master Ji San waved a hand and said.

Speaking of Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but think of Mrs. Ji's increasingly weak body, and a dark cloud flashed on her face.

Master Ji San seemed to have thought of this, and the smile on his face was a little less, so he asked Ji Xiaotang: "What is the old lady's body?" ”

Uncle also knows that since he arrived in the capital, his grandmother's health has not been as good as before. Last year, there was another ...... of illness" Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang paused. (To be continued.) )
