In the next few days, Jinyiwei, Zhensi and the Ministry of Rites successively reported to him that the subordinates who came from Annan had not heard any other news at all, although Yunxi still did not fully believe Hu Yuancheng's words because of historical events, but there was no way to continue to verify.

He could only choose to accept the reality, re-admit Annan as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and send an envoy to Annan to officially seal it. Although he chose Jinyiwei's person as this envoy and told him to investigate in Annan, he did not have any hope that he could find out the difference from what Hu Yuancheng said, and only did his best.

He also put the matter aside and did something more valuable.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, on the auspicious day of the zodiac chosen by Qin Tianjian, Yun Xi and Xi Yao took Wenyuan to worship the Taimiao;

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Yun Xi took Wenyuan, Wenyao, Wenqi and Siqi to worship the Meritorious Temple and Yingling Temple;

On the twelfth day of the first month, it is allowed to worship heaven and earth.

The time soon came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This day is the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, and it is also the last day of rest before the beginning of the Shangyuan Dynasty. Yun Xi also decided to put down what he was thinking about and spend a complete Shangyuan Festival with his family.

However, today is also the day when the harem concubines can see their relatives, and because on the first day of the first month, there are hundreds of official banquets and women to visit the queen, many concubines have not seen their relatives for a month and miss them very much, so Yun Xi takes the morning as the time for them to see their relatives, and the whole family gathers together for the festival at noon and afternoon.

Early this morning, Yun Xi touched his side half-asleep and half-awake, but he didn't touch anything, opened his eyes and looked around, just in time to see Miaojin sitting by the dresser next to him and letting the palace maids dress up.

"Miaojin, you also got up so early to see your relatives. It is very convenient for Aunt Twenty-two and Duchess Wei to enter the palace, why are you in such a hurry to see them today. Yun Xi said. It was precisely because Miao Jin saw that his relatives were very easy, so he would rest in her Yanxi Palace last night.

"But husband, the concubine's brother and nephew are usually not easy to enter the palace. Although the eldest brother went to the northwest and the fourth brother went to the northeast, the third brother is still in Beijing, and Jingchang's nephew and Xiaoqin's nephew are also in the capital. Miao Jin said with a smile.

Well, even the men of the Duke of Wei Mansion usually have a hard time entering the palace. Yun Xi accepted her reason, but still said: "It's not in a hurry, my husband will get up immediately, and you will go to see them after you have breakfast." ”

"But husband," Miao Jin said with a look of embarrassment, "The concubine has already made an appointment with her family to have breakfast with them, and she is in the palace." ”

"Well, okay, I'll have breakfast with Wen Kun." Yun Xi said.

Miaojin red lips opened slightly, as if she was about to say something again, but in the end she didn't say anything. She originally wanted to take Wen Kun to her brother and nephew to take a look, but since Yun Xi said so, she didn't want to mention it again.

"Next time, let the third brother and nephew take a look at Wen Kun, it's not bad this time." Miao Jin thought.

After Miaojin dressed up, she gently kissed Yunxi who was lying on the bed, and took her palace maid out of Yanxi Palace and went straight to the palace where she received the foreign man.

Yun Xi lay on the bed for a while before getting up, went to Wen Kun's palace to have a look, and then went to eat alone. He just said that he had breakfast with Wen Kun casually, Wen Kun is still drinking milk and doesn't even eat porridge, how could Yun Xi take him to breakfast.

But Yun Xi had just sat down, and before he could start eating, he heard a palace maid say, "The slave maid has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Huainan." ”

'What are you doing here?' Yun Xi secretly wondered.

After a while, Yun Zhi walked into the dining hall and smiled at Yun Xi: "Brother Huang, my sister is here." ”

"What are you doing here?" Yun Xi asked the question.

"Of course, I'm here to dine with the royal brother." Yun Zhi said as she sat down on the seat next to Yun Xi and continued: "On weekdays, the imperial brother eats with his sisters-in-law, and rarely eats with us, but it just so happens that the sisters-in-law have gone to see their relatives today, so I came over to let the imperial brother accompany the meal." ”

Yun Xi was a little moved in her heart, Yun Zhi was obviously here to accompany him to eat, but said that she wanted to accompany her to eat.

It's good to have a sister like that. He thought.

The brother and sister chatted while eating. Talking about things casually. As he spoke, he talked about the horses he had chosen for Yunlan.

"Brother Huang, I showed the portrait of Ye Xiping to the second sister, although the second sister didn't say anything, but I feel that the second sister has no resistance to him, although I don't like it, I can accept it." Yun Zhi said.

"That's good. As long as she's not particularly resistant. Yun Xi said. He didn't choose this colt to make Yun Lan satisfied, but just to make Yun Lan acceptable and live a stable life in the future.

'I hope that in the future, after Yunlan marries, she will not fornicate with Yang Feng, Daming is not a Fula, such a thing is unacceptable, and I dare not cover it up when I find out. Why don't you keep letting Yang Feng be an official in other places? Yun Xi thought.

Of course, Yun Zhi didn't know what Yun Xi was thinking, and said: "But Ye Xiping's official position is too low, even if he is promoted to one level after graduating from the Lecture Martial Arts Hall and is now a thousand households from the fifth grade, it is too low and not worthy of the second sister." ”

"It's really a bit low, but the generals are promoted quickly, and they can be promoted several grades in one battle, so if he goes to the battlefield to fight a battle, he may be promoted to the commander of the third grade." Yun Xi said.

"But it's also dangerous to fight," Yun Zhi said, "It's easy to get hurt." ”

"How can there be a military general who can be promoted without being injured! I don't dare to ask for such a general. If a military general is not injured and does not go to the battlefield, it will never be successful, as long as you are careful not to lose your life. ”

"And now the general generals died not much, last year the seventeenth uncle led the troops to the desert to fight, and there were not many generals, thousands of households and more than a thousand households no one died, deputy thousand households only died one, hundreds of households died three, ordinary soldiers died thousands. So even though the Imperial Brother has decided to send him if there is a war recently, you don't have to worry about his safety. Yun Xi said.

"By the way, you've been so concerned about Ye Xiping lately, do you want to get married too?" Yun Xi laughed again.

"Oh, Brother Huang, people just care about the second sister, not that they want to get married." Hearing this topic, even Yun Zhi, who is usually very cheerful, was a little shy.

Yun Xi smiled. After what happened to Yunlan, he stared at the remaining two little sisters, knowing that they really didn't have any personal affairs now, so he just made a casual joke.

"If you have someone you like in the future, don't hide it like your second sister, you must tell the royal brother as soon as possible, as long as you don't like a married man, the imperial brother will definitely fulfill you." Yun Xi said jokingly again.

"Then it's settled. If my sister really has someone she likes in the future, she must tell the royal brother. Yun Zhi said half-jokingly.

……

……

In the palace near the Qianqing Gate, Miao Jin was talking to his relatives.

"Miaojin, why didn't you bring the Six Princes here?" After Miaojin's third brother Xu Yingxu performed the national salute, he asked with some doubts.

"Yes, fourth sister, why didn't you bring my little nephew over for the third brother and nephews to see?" Princess An Xu Mengyu said with a narrow smile.

Miao Jin glanced at her and said, "Third sister, you will be weird." After that, he said: "Your Majesty rested in my palace last night, and when he got up in the morning, he was holding Wen Kun, so I can't say that I will bring him over to show you, so I can only do it." ”

"It's a good thing that the emperor likes Wen Kun, fourth sister, you did the right thing, let's watch it more once and watch it less once, what's the matter." Xu Yingxu said.

Miaojin snorted, and said to Xu Yingxu again: "Third brother, I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to another son?" Congratulations, third brother. As she spoke, she took off a bracelet from her arm and handed it to him, "This is a gift from my aunt." ”

Xu Yingxu accepted it without refusing, and said with a smile: "It was born on the fifth day of the first month, it weighs five catties, and it is very healthy to be chubby." After a few months, I'll take him to show you the fourth sister. ”

"Let's talk about it after he turns two." Miaojin said: "Bringing Wen Kun from the palace is not more dangerous than bringing Wen Kun from the palace." We'll talk about it later. ”

Xu Yingxu felt that what she said made sense, and nodded in agreement.

After that, they sat down and talked about the family while eating breakfast. However, after Miaojin said a few short words from his parents, he said to Xu Jingchang: "I heard that you have not been doing a good job lately, and you have been wandering all day long, and you are having fun with your fox friends and dogs in the capital?" "The word Huanchang was 'invented' by her Tingyunxi, referring to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. Miao Jin thought it was good and borrowed it, and their family knew what it meant.

"Fourth aunt, don't wronged me!" Xu Jingchang immediately shouted: "Although I do go to the festival sometimes, I am also very diligent every day, and my boss praised me a year ago!" ”

"Even if you don't go to the yamen all day, the commander doesn't dare to speak ill of you." Miaojin said.

Xu Jingchang saw that this evidence was not successful, and immediately pointed to Xu Yingxu and said, "Then the third uncle won't lie to you." Ask Uncle Sanbo how I'm doing! ”

Miaojin looked at Xu Yingxu, he nodded and said, "Jingchang has really performed well these days. ”

"Did I hear it wrong?" Miaojin was also puzzled: "But last time, I heard a foreign woman say that someone in our Xu family is very profligate." ”

"It is estimated that they are slandering our Xu family. Our Xu family is very popular, and there are many people who are jealous of our family's deliberate arrangement. Xu Jingchang said seriously. Xu Qin took a few steps to the side so that Miaojin could not see his face.

"Probably, but there is no wind and no waves, Jingchang may have seen you in and out of the party, so he made up such words. So no matter what you say, you have to pay attention. Miaojin said.

"Yes, Fourth Aunt." Xu Jingchang could only agree.
