Chapter 87
On this day, the palace began to be busy early in the morning, and as soon as Si Kouxi opened the door, she heard the sound of counting things, and she asked Yan Jia, who greeted her, and said, "What is the palace doing?" Yan Jia planned to help Si Kouxi, but was bluffed by Si Kouxi. Yan Jia had no choice but to put down his hand helplessly and said, "The prince said that he would take you back to Sikou Mansion to have a look, so the housekeeper is preparing things." As soon as Si Kouxi heard that he was going home, he was inexplicably in a good mood. She walked to the front hall with a smile on her face, and did not forget to turn around and warn Yan Jia not to treat herself as a fragile porcelain, and to support herself wherever she went.
Yan Jia immediately nodded in agreement, and Si Kouxi turned his head and left with satisfaction. Who wants to treat Si Kouxi as a fragile product, but this palace master is suddenly pregnant, which really caught everyone off guard, although everyone looks like they have already digested it, but in the end they are still worried in their hearts.
Since Si Kouxi was pregnant, her taste had become strange, Yan Shu and Yan Jia deliberately put down the matter in Bihai Palace to come here to accompany her, and watched the chef from the dining pavilion turn over tricks to make food for Si Kouxi every day. Si Kouxi's eating is not acceptable to ordinary people, so although Lan Jing will accompany Si Kouxi to eat every time, the two of them basically eat different things. Lan Jing has always had a light taste, and now that Si Kouxi is extremely sour and spicy, he refuses even more.
The carriage of the royal palace departed, and many people attracted the attention of many people on the way, who wanted to see the demeanor of the first female regent in history. It's a pity that the carriage hasn't even opened a little crack from beginning to end, Si Kouxi actually wants to open the carriage curtain to see the scenery on the street, but Lan Jing said that it is not easy to get cold in early spring, so he directly covered the curtain to death. Well, Si Kouxi doesn't bother with Lan Jing, in fact, she just wants to see if the people are panicking because of the sudden change of emperor, and the best place to see these is the streets.
can't see it, but she can ask, this matter is naturally the best to ask Lan Jing. Lan Jing gathered Si Kouxi's cloak and said, "There is no change, the streets of the capital are still prosperous. Si Kouxi nodded and sighed: "In fact, whether a country changes the emperor or not has no impact on the people, as long as the emperor is not a mediocre person. Lan Jing also undeniably affirmed Si Kouxi's thoughts, indeed, as long as the emperor is not a particularly mediocre person, it will not have any impact on the lives of the people in the short term, as long as the situation is well controlled, everyone can still easily start their usual life.
The first emperor of Tengxiao Kingdom has managed himself well for the country, and now the Jianian Dynasty and Tengxiao Kingdom will not invade each other, so for Lan Qiong, it is more important to develop the economy and make the people live a happier life. It would be good to properly guard against the invasion of some other countries. But the biggest one on this continent is the Tengxiao Country, so other countries are not a big threat to the Tengxiao Country.
Si Kou Fu didn't expect Lan Jing to come to visit, so he didn't prepare at all. When the subordinates saw Lan Jing and Si Kouxi coming back, they immediately went in to make a statement. When the Si Kou family heard this, they immediately ran to the front yard to greet them. When Si Kouxi saw his father and brothers, he missed him even more, calculating how long it had been since he had seen everyone.
Si Kouxi was still deeply in her heart, but her mother walked over angrily with a feather duster. Si Kouxi instinctively immediately hid behind Lan Jing, dodging a duster from his mother. Lan Jing also didn't react, the head of the Si Kou family is a well-known virtuous and virtuous among the dignitaries and nobles of Tengxiao Kingdom, Shu Qian has always been extremely gentle to outsiders, when Shu Qian married Si Kou Zhan, everyone was still saying: "How could such a gentle girl marry such a rough person." ”
Shu Qian took a duster and pointed at Si Kouxi and said, "I think you have a long ability, give me fake death!" After saying that, he waved it over with a duster, and Si Kouxi immediately hid, and Lan Jing had no choice but to stop him. Guarding the Six Princes' Mansion, I'd rather die than give up the Six Princes' Mansion, right! Shu Qian scolded while chasing Si Kouxi, "Then why are you coming back!" Seeing that it was not possible to hide in Lan Jing all the time, Si Kouxi immediately ran behind the eldest brother again, "I'll let you hide it from everyone!" I'll let you hide it from your parents! I'll let you fake your death! Si Kouxi ran around the entire courtyard, and Shu Qian chased after the whole yard.
Si Kouzhan felt that it was almost over, so he ran up to stop Shu Qian and said, "Okay, it's almost, it's time for the prince to laugh." Si Kouxi also hid behind his father and said beggingly: "Mother, I know that I am wrong, I am really wrong, but I am also forced by the situation!" "It's okay if Si Kouxi doesn't say it, but when he says Shu Qian, he gets angry.
Shu Qian's duster said to Si Kouzhan: "What a shame, the prince is also my son-in-law, no one can stop me from teaching my daughter!" Everyone present gasped when they heard this, and everyone in the Si Kou family thought in their hearts: Mrs. (Mother) is mighty! It was the first time Lan Jing had heard such words, but she thought that it was indeed true, so she smiled and said, "What my mother said is very true! When Si Kouxi heard this, he glared at Lan Jing. Shu Qian took the duster to Si Kouxi again, and said sternly: "What are you staring at, and you dare to talk back?" Didn't I ask your brother to pick you up! You refused? Whatever the situation forces you to do, you do it yourself! ”
Si Kouxi was really distressed, and hid from his mother's duster and said: "Mother, if it were you, you wouldn't have left, and you didn't rely on yourself to guard Si Kou's mansion back then!" ”
Si Kou Mansion was persecuted by traitors in his early years, and it was Shu Qian who supported Si Kou Zhan to lead the troops back to China with his own strength. At that time, Shu Qian's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he was also praised by the emperor and was named Mrs. Yipin, which is the name that many wealthy ladies dream of. But after a long time, everyone seems to have forgotten how powerful Shu Qian is.
Shu Qian chased after him for so long, but he didn't feel tired at all, and still said with a heartfelt attitude: "Then am I faking death?" You have to use the means of fake death, that is, you can't hold it, you can't keep it, you can't keep it! A fire is burned, what is it to hold! Si Kouxi suddenly felt that her mother was right, she just couldn't hold it, so she burned down the palace, and she was incompetent.
Thinking about it, her eyes turned red, and Shu Qian stopped when she saw that her daughter's eyes were red. But now Si Kouxi couldn't stop, she threw herself into Lan Jing's arms with an aggrieved face, Lan Jing grabbed her, he thought it was his mother-in-law who was angry that Si Kouxi faked his death, but he didn't expect his mother-in-law to scold Si Kouxi like this. Lan Jing watched Si Kouxi's whimpering getting louder and louder, and muttered in his mouth: "It's me who can't hold it, it's me who can ······ it myself." Lan Jing really didn't know how to comfort him now.
Lan Jing could only pat Si Kouxi's back and say, "Don't cry, it's not good for the baby." Si Kouxi endured it when she heard it, and when she heard that it was harmful to the baby, she tried to endure it, but the sadness in her heart was really difficult to suppress. When Si Kou's family heard that Xiaoxi was pregnant, everyone was overjoyed, and Si Kouzhan remembered that his daughter had just run around, and he felt that his wife had gone too far this time. He inevitably said in a complaining tone: "Xiaoqian, you just chased Xi'er and beat you, what should you do if you hurt the child!" ”
Shu Qian didn't expect her daughter to be pregnant, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong, so she threw the feather duster on the ground and shouted angrily: "I was pregnant with your second son back then to block others!" If you don't teach her a lesson today, she will be able to really die next time to show you! After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to go in.
Everyone was relieved at this moment, Si Kouxi sobbed lowly, Si Kouqing and Si Kouyu both ran over to comfort their sister, Si Kouzhan glanced at his daughter and then at the back of his wife leaving, thinking about it, he still followed his wife in. The most difficult thing now is Si Kou Zhan, which is a little more important than his daughter or wife.
Si Kouxi finally calmed down, Yan Shu came up to check the pulse, and nodded to signal that everyone was okay. Si Kouxi looked at his mother in the seat, and could only say timidly: "Mother, I was wrong. Shu Qian drank tea, didn't raise his eyes, Lan Jing felt that this matter also had his own fault, for the sake of his wife's happiness, he didn't mind asking his mother-in-law for guilt, he stood up, saluted and said: "Mother, Xi'er is all for me, in the final analysis, I have no ability, and I didn't come back in time for such a thing to happen." Lan Jing wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Shu Qian and said, "You have a job outside." When a man fights outside, the home is naturally guarded by a woman, and you don't need to take the blame for her, it's her own problem. How old a person is, still so impulsive! ”
Lan Jing felt that she didn't need to say it, now Zi Xi'er's crime of not being able to keep her home was decided, Si Kouxi pouted and said, "In the end, am I your daughter or Lan Jing is your son." When Si Kou Zhan and Si Kou brothers heard it, they all shouted in their hearts: Little Ancestor, don't say it! The Si Kou brothers desperately glanced at Si Kouxi, Si Kouxi lowered his head and didn't say anything, Shu Qian looked at his two sons and said, "If there is a problem with the eyes, go and treat it!" The two brothers immediately lowered their heads and stopped moving.
Shu Qian and Si Kouxi are the two ancestors of the Si Kou family, and they all have to be offered, and no one dares to challenge.
Seeing this, Si Kou Zhan immediately changed the topic, looked at his daughter and said, "Xi'er, what's the matter with that regent?" Brother Si Kou immediately raised his head and looked at Si Kouxi, waiting for his sister to explain. Si Kouxi said helplessly: "I don't know, Jin Shen didn't discuss it with me, and he announced it directly at the enthronement ceremony that day." "Si Kouzhan just needs to know that it is not his daughter's request, and he also knows that his daughter will not ask Jinshen to do this, and his daughter has all the proportions.
Shu Qian said that he was tired, so he asked a few juniors to talk about themselves.
Lan Jing, Si Kouyu and his father had something to discuss, so they went to their father's study. Si Kouyu said helplessly to Lan Jing on the road: "It really makes you laugh." Lan Jing shook his head and said, "I'm very envious, I'm afraid I won't feel this kind of family atmosphere for the rest of my life." Si Kouyu knew that Lan Jing's mother died early, and his father was the emperor, so naturally it was not as good as the family atmosphere of ordinary people, he patted Lan Jing on the shoulder and said, "You will feel it, doesn't Xi'er already have a child?" In the future, with her and the child here, I think you will suffer. ”
As soon as Lan Jing thought that he would raise a lovely child with Si Kouxi in the future, he was full of longing for the future. The two of them walked slowly towards the study······
Si Kouxi didn't dare to ask at first, but now that she is with her second brother, she asked, "Second brother, where is Xiao Chen?" Si Kouqing pushed open the door of the study and said, "He went to the criminal department early in the morning to get something." Si Kouxi looked at the scrolls and books piled up in the study and was surprised, the second brother is always an orderly person, how did he make the study like this. She picked up some scrolls that were all related to Lan Xiao Lan She, and she remembered what Lan Jing said.
Si Kouxi sat next to the second brother, looked at the second brother who was cleaning up the table, and said, "Xiao Chen is interested in handling cases, but he is still a little younger. However, the second brother has been investigating the case recently, I don't know what the second brother thinks about the investigation? Although Si Kouxi didn't think that her second brother would like this, she still wanted to hear what her second brother meant.
The emperor really wants to give an order, and Si Kouqing has no way to resist the decree. But if she heard the second brother's true thoughts in advance, she might be able to play more games with Lan Jing. Si Kouqing looked at his sister staring at him and said, "What? I said I don't like it, you want to go to the prince's ear to blow the pillow wind? Si Kouxi pouted and whispered, "That's not impossible." Si Kouqing helplessly knocked the scroll in his hand on Si Kouxi's head and said, "Don't interfere, the second brother has his own considerations." But then again, I haven't asked you what you said back then! ”
Si Kouxi naturally knew what the second brother said, and she didn't plan to hide it from the second brother, how smart the second brother was, if he was willing to check, he would know, but the second brother didn't check it and was waiting for himself to say.
"I sensed that Lan Xiao and Lan Se were corrupt, and I thought that the disaster relief would definitely make them stretch out their claws, so I asked Lan Jing to accept the mission to help the Carnival Dynasty, so Lan Xiao and Lan Se would not give up the task of disaster relief, and as expected, they went. Then I found out that Lan was corrupt and that there was a problem with Pudu Temple, and Lan Xiao was doing things with salt. Then he collected the evidence and waited for them to eat the dog, but he didn't expect the prince to be so aggressive. Si Kouxi told everything honestly.
Si Kouqing also paid special attention to some details during the search during this time, and he also realized that Lan Shi and Lan Xiao always felt that there was a hand behind them pushing everyone away. But I was a little surprised to hear my sister say her plan in person, I didn't expect my sister to be able to do it step by step, but the prince's radicalism is really suspicious.
Si Kouqing shook his head, he didn't expect his sister to be so powerful. He finally sorted it out, put down the things in his hand and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter what I do, the eldest brother has inherited his father's mantle, and Xiao Chen is interested in handling the case, but as you said, he is still too young, and someone has to pull him up on it." So I'll take a look for him. Si Kouxi couldn't bear to say: "Second brother, your own wishes are very important, Xiao Chen has me there." ”
Si Kouqing looked at his sensible sister, sighed and said, "Do you think the eldest brother really likes to go to the battlefield?" It's just that in order to inherit his father's mantle, he can't let the signboard of the Si Kou family for generations of generals fall, so as the eldest son, he automatically takes responsibility. Did you really marry Lan Jing because you liked it? It's just that you want to borrow Lan Jing's hand to do what you want to do, and you want someone to ensure the prosperity and peace of Si Koufu's life. But fortunately, Lan Jing and you love each other very much now, otherwise the second brother would never forgive himself in this life. Si Kouxi didn't expect that the second brother actually knew his intention to marry Lan Jing at the beginning.
"You and your eldest brother are like this, why do I have to pursue the so-called what I like. Which position is not to serve the country and seek the welfare of the people, so I can accept anything. Si Kouqing already had a smile on his face, Si Kouxi couldn't help but frown, the second brother always saw it so clearly, and understood the responsibility of being a child of Si Kouqing's family.
Si Kouxi had the mentality of trying it and said, "There are always people in the Si Kou family who want to do what they like, why can't it be you, second brother?" Si Kouqing waved his hand and said, "Then why can't it be Xiao Chen, it can't be you." Si Kouxi knew that it was useless to say more, so he just sighed softly and said, "How can you know that what Xiao Chen is doing is what he likes?" But I'm already doing what I like, second brother, don't worry. ”
It is true that Si Kou Qing can't guarantee that Xiao Chen is doing what he likes, maybe he is following in the footsteps of the eldest brother and the second brother. Maybe it's because Xiao Chen is also the son of the Si Kou family, and he has the consciousness in his heart to show his strength in the imperial court. But it doesn't matter, it's good that Xiao Xi is already doing what she likes, and having someone doing what she likes is already very satisfying for Si Kouqing. Not everything is going smoothly in this world.
