In the blink of an eye, Xia Jingnian had been in Jiangnan for nearly two months, and he didn't know if there were indeed more corrupt officials or what, he roughly calculated that there were more than ten people who were pulled off the horse by his own hands.

In the palace, Ji Qiang listened to Leng Xiang's report, and couldn't help frowning and sighing, "If it weren't for the emperor's personal private visit, I'm afraid that there will only be more and more moths in this court. ”

When that day really came, the people's complaints could not reach the emperor, and Xia Jingnian thought that the country was the peace of the country and the people, and that was the trouble of Dachen.

"Did the emperor say when he would come back?" Now that the New Year is about to end, the emperor will never celebrate the New Year outside, right?

Leng Xiang smiled: "The slave knows that the mother is worried about the emperor, don't worry, the emperor said in the letter that she is already on the way back, please rest assured." ”

Ji Qiang nodded, "Well, then let's prepare, the emperor may not know when he will come back, but don't let him go back to the palace, he can't even eat a hot meal." ”

"Don't worry, the slave will be ready with Xi'er."

This kind of waiting is waiting until the young year.

Since the morning, Ji Qiang has been restless, she hasn't eaten a few bites, the children are playing around, and she is also absent-minded.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er asked with concern, she had never seen Ji Qiang so distracted.

"I don't know either, I'm always restless." Ji Qiang frowned, and let out a long sigh of relief, still feeling uncomfortable.

Outside the door, Leng Xiang ran in, "Niangniang, the emperor is back!" ”

At this time, it was already dusk, and the dumplings that had been wrapped long ago had not been put in the pot, Ji Qiang thought, the restlessness might be because of Xia Jingnian, so he didn't let the small kitchen cook the dumplings, just waiting for news.

Sure enough, let her wait!

"Where?" Ji Qiang asked with joy on her face.

"It's already at the gate of the palace!"

"Quick, put the dumplings in the pot, and when the emperor comes back, we will start the meal!" Ji Qiang smiled like a flower, and picked up Xia Nianyu, "Father is back, are you happy?" ”

Xia Nianyule couldn't do it, and Xia Yuxuan next to him also wanted to hug him.

Ji Qiang put her daughter down, and the two little ones were held in her arms together, "Let's celebrate the New Year with my father!" ”

"The emperor has arrived!" As soon as Xia Jingnian returned to the palace, he came straight to Fengluan Palace.

"When you enter the house, you smell the fragrance, it's just made, right?" Xia Jingnian came back in the dust, and as soon as he entered the door, he first gave Ji Qiang a big hug.

"Just wait for you to come back." Ji Qiang's eyes were full of deep longing, and she held Xia Jingnian's cheek, "You have lost weight."

Xia Jingnian took Ji Qiang's hand, and his eyes were full of affection, "You too." ”

Bah.

Xia Yuxuan next to him made another sound, Xia Jingnian smiled dumbly, held Ji Qiang's lips, and kissed him.

Xia Yuxuan reached out to hug him.

Xia Jingnian squatted down, picked up a pair of children from left to right and stood up, "Ouch, now my father can still hug two of them together, and when you grow up, my father won't be able to hold it!" ”

The two dolls giggled in Xia Jingnian's arms, put down the children, and the family went to wash their hands and eat together.

On this day, Ji Qiang was very happy, she hadn't seen her for two months, so she naturally missed it more and more. Today, Ji Qiang drank a lot of wine, cup after cup. Read it

I don't know if I drank too much or what, I actually forgot the fact that Xia Jingnian was by my side.

"Jing Nian...... Jing Nian, I miss you so much, woo ......" As she spoke, Ji Qiang actually cried like a child.

"Your Majesty, the mother has drunk too much, and the slave maid will come to serve the mother and freshen up." Seeing this, Leng Xiang and Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward to help, but were blocked by Xia Jingnian.

He personally carried Ji Qiang back to the collapse to rest, "You go and boil some sobering soup." ”

"Yes." The two of them retreated together.

The children had long been carried to bed by the nurse, and now only the two of them remained. Seeing Ji Qiang drunk and confused, and his name kept being read in his mouth, the softest place in Xia Jingnian's heart seemed to be being pinched.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone for so long in the future." Xia Jingnian said, and imprinted a deep kiss on Ji Qiang's forehead.

The sobering soup was brought quickly, and after Xia Jingnian personally fed Ji Qiang and drank it, he changed his clothes and went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Jing went to the court at an early age, Ji Qiang was drunk, and he was reluctant to call her, so he ordered no one to disturb Ji Qiang.

"Mother, are you up? Slaves and maids come to serve you to freshen up? "It's almost the third pole of the day, even if you get drunk yesterday, you should get up at this time?

Outside the door, Leng Xiang knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.

"Mother?" Leng Xiang and Xi'er glanced at each other and decided to push open the door and go in to have a look.

Outcome......

Empty inside?

"!" The teacup in Xi'er's hand fell to the ground, and the two hurriedly ran into the house to take a closer look.

"Where's the mother!" Xi'er was in a hurry, "Go and inform the emperor!" Leng Xiang hurriedly commanded the panicked Xi'er.

Xi'er reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran to the Jinluan Palace, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the mother is gone!" ”

"What?" Xia Jingnian immediately walked out from behind the bookcase, "Do you say it again?" ”

"Fang Cai slave maid and Leng Xiang asked Niang Niang to get up together, and no one in the house responded...... "Xi'er said the matter again, Xia Jingnian pushed Xi'er away after hearing this, and ran quickly to Fengluan Palace.

The entire Fengluan Hall has been messed up, Leng Xiang commanded the palace maids to look around, seeing that Xia Jing was coming, a heart was put down, first saluted, and then reported: "The slaves and maids have been watching, Niangniang has been asleep inside, and has never stepped out of the dormitory half a step, somehow, this person suddenly disappeared......"

"You go to a few places where she frequents first, and I order someone to look elsewhere." Xia Jingnian frowned, but he still forced himself to calm down and gave orders.

At this time, Ji Qiang woke up in a daze.

Isn't this Fengluan Palace?

She looked down and saw that this was not the familiar bed, but the land, surrounded by the scent of flowers, and the sound of running water.

Standing up, Ji Qiang realized that she was actually in a valley. The scenery of the valley is stunning, and there is a waterfall not far away?

What is this place? Ji Qiang only felt a splitting headache, she remembered that Xia Jingnian came back last night, she was very happy, and then she drank too much wine.

After that, I just fell asleep all the time. Since she has been asleep, how did she get here? Or who brought her? What about Xia Jingnian?

She was puzzled, but she didn't know that the palace was already in chaos at this time, Xia Jingnian listened to the palace maids' reports in the Fengluan Palace, and her eyebrows were already wrinkled like a hill.

"A big living person can disappear out of thin air! Keep looking! "It's rare for Xia Jingnian to have such a big temper, and the palace maids are so frightened that they don't dare to breathe.
