Uncle Quan came to look for us on the street and said that the dinner was almost ready.

When we returned to the house, we all had things in our hands. Take me as an example, I was holding a sugar gourd in both hands, and Qi Jin's hand also helped me hold the sugar gourd, and as soon as I appeared at the door, the children in the house rushed over. When they saw that it was Qi Jin standing in the middle, they all restrained the bear child's temperament for a while, and knelt on the ground to greet him:

"Greetings to Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang is auspicious."

Qi Jin smiled:

"Get up. Do you want to eat sugar gourd? ”

Several children replied in unison:

"Yes!"

Wang Xi brought the sugar gourd in his hand to them, and when he saw that they all went to Wang Xi to get it, and saw that Qi Jin still had it in his hand, he came over and pulled Qi Jin's clothes, and shouted indistinctly:

"Huang Ama."

Qi Jin was happy, bent down and hugged his son in his arms. He looked at me with a look of surprise:

"Did you hear that, my son called me Huang Ama. The son will be called Huang Ama! ”

"You can teach him to call it that when you have the opportunity, can you? Isn't it, son, has your emperor always taught you like this? ”

I brought the sugar gourd in my hand to his mouth, he smiled and squinted, carefully licked it with his tongue as I did, and then covered his mouth with both hands, and buried his whole head in Qi Jin's arms, looking shy. We were happy, Qi Heng came out of it and said to Qi Jin:

"Brother to the emperor to say goodbye, long live the emperor, long live long live."

Qi Jin raised his eyes and looked at Qi Heng, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Qi Xi stood directly opposite Qi Jin, he looked at Qi Jin, and slowly knelt on the ground:

"The grass people Qixi greets the emperor."

I stood beside Qi Jin and watched as his face changed. Er reached out to ask for the sugar gourd in my hand, and I was about to reach out and take him from Qi Jin's arms, but I didn't want Qi Jin to walk in with my arms. Qiqi and Qizhi also didn't expect Qixi to be here, and after watching Qijin walk in, they came to me and asked in a low voice:

"You've already met the second brother?"

"yes."

"It's over." Qi Qi put down this sentence and followed in. Keori patted me on the shoulder and followed.

Qi Heng and Qi Xi never saw Qi Jin let him up, so they could only kneel on the ground all the time. Qi Jin stood still in front of them with her arms in her arms before she spoke:

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

Qi Jin kept looking at Qi Xi, but Qi Xi didn't look at Qi Jin, looked at the son in his arms.

"How's it going?" In the end, Qi Jin opened his mouth first. Qi Xi raised his eyes to look at Qi Jin:

"Thanks to the emperor's concern, it's okay."

Qi Jin led the child in his arms to look at Qi Xi:

"Son, this is the second uncle."

Then he said to Qixi:

"This is my child with Jin'er."

Keiki smiled slightly:

"I know, son. His eyes are like hers, and his nose is like yours. ”

As soon as he heard his name called, he looked at the man, and when he saw Qixi, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Second uncle."

"Yes, I'm the second uncle. Good boy. ”

Except for the two of them, no one else in the whole courtyard dared to speak, and I really couldn't stand the scene of these two people standing together, so I asked Uncle Quan loudly:

"Uncle Quan, is dinner ready?"

Only then did Uncle Quan shout:

"Back to Gege, it's ready."

"Gege?"

Keiori repeated it for some unknown reason.

Qi Jin frowned and looked at me. I took a deep breath and stepped forward to grab Qi Jin's other hand:

"Let's go, let's eat. I'm hungry, Qing'er, Ying'er, Barley, and 'er are all hungry! ”

I dragged Qi Jin into the dining room, and the people behind me moved.

Qiheng held the wine glass and carried the rhythm of the whole table. Fortunately, he had a good amount of alcohol, and both Keori and Qiqi were drunk by him. Qi Xi drank unhurriedly, and Qi Jin drank unhurriedly. The two of them were stuffy as if they were playing a game. Jun'er pulled me for a drink, and then started to get high by herself, and kept adding wine to my wine glass, and Qijin drank it all for me silently. Qiqi turned around and saw me eating, smiled evilly, and then stood up with the flask:

"Nian Huan, you were a famous wine fairy back then, you went to Mongolia and drank the Altai Khan, why don't you drink it today? Come, Brother Jiu respects you! ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass. Qi Jin was about to reach out for my wine glass, I took the wine glass in my hand, got up from the stool, and walked to Brother Jiu with the wine glass:

"You do have to honor me. Let me ask you, who sent me to Mongolia in the first place? ”

As soon as Qi Qi said this, his eyes turned red:

"It's me."

I went on to ask:

"Who sent me there and didn't pick me up?"

Qi Qi held back the tears in his eyes and looked at my eyes:

"It's still me."

I touched his glass and threw my head up. Qiqi looked at me, red eyes:

"Brother Jiu knows about this, Brother Jiu can't stand you."

He shook his hand to pour wine into his glass, and I brought the flask and refilled it for me and him:

"I don't blame you, if I were you, I would do the same."

As soon as the wine entered my throat, Qiqi slapped me on the back. I almost choked on him.

"Alright, come back and have a good meal."

Qi Jin on the other side said, I sat back, and Jun'er next to me took advantage of Qi Jin's blind spot to fill my wine glass again.

I ate two large bowls of rice and drank a whole pot of wine.

When I stood up with the chicken leg in one hand and the wine jug in the other hand to toast Qi Xi, Qi Jin also stood up, came over and pulled me, and whispered:

"Jin'er, you've drunk too much."

I glanced at him, broke away from his hand, took the flask in my hand, and said to Keiki, who was standing in front of me:

"Second brother. I salute you for this cup. I respect you and appreciate you, but I also feel sorry for you. I couldn't say goodbye to you when I said goodbye to the Zongren Mansion that day, and when I see you again today, I wonder if God gave me the opportunity to say goodbye to you. Second brother, I wish you well in the future. ”

I held the flask and drank it. Keiki looked at me and asked:

"Why say goodbye?"

I wiped my mouth:

"How can there be so many whys? Second brother, it's time for you to drink. ”

Qixi looked at me and smiled slightly:

"Okay, it's my turn. The year you kowtowed, you went out of the palace to play, and you were also dressed as a man. That was the first time I had seen a woman dressed as a man, and I never thought that the little boy who carved in pink and jade would be Gulun Gege on weekdays. You smile, your eyes are like stars in the sky, and you run around the garden with a wine jug, like a fawn with an aura. Over the years, I only hope that you will be safe and happy, and now, you have sixteen to rely on you, and you have children to rely on, and I am relieved. Jin'er, you said that you want to say goodbye to me today, okay, I wish you can be like that year from now on, worry-free, and happy. ”

After saying that, he picked up his glass and drank it all.

I was in tears by his words, seeing that my eyes were red and tears were about to fall, Qi Xi looked at me and smiled, at this time, Qi Jin stepped forward from behind me and perfectly blocked in front of me. He looked at Qixi coldly and said:

"Old things, the second brother still remembers them so clearly. In the days to come, I will be by her side, and the second brother will no longer have to remember it. ”

Qi Xi looked at Qi Jin, and the smile on his face was still the same as just now:

"That's fine."

Qing'er and Ying'er ran in together and shouted loudly

Road:

"The fireworks outside are ready!"

Ying'er was going to pull Mingmin's hand, but when she saw me with red eyes, she came over and took my hand:

"Auntie, why are your eyes red?"

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and rubbed his little hand against my face. Er'er followed behind Ying'er, and when he saw Ying'er pulling me, he also came to pull me. I squatted down, wiped the tears from my face in front of the children, and said:

"Let's go see the fireworks together!"

The fireworks are always so gorgeous. In the midst of the splendor, the cheers of the children are in the ears. Keiori hugged Mingmin, with a happy smile on his face; Qi Qi held Barley in one hand and Jun'er's hand in the other, with a look of joy on his face. Qi Jin put his arm around my waist and stood beside me, and I looked at Qi Xi who was also looking at me through this brilliant fireworks. I watched as he said something with his mouth slightly open, then nodded at me and turned to walk towards the door. I subconsciously raised my feet and stepped forward, but Qi Jin hugged him tighter. I turned my head to look at him, and he was also looking at Kei-hee who had turned to leave. As if sensing that I was looking at him, he turned his head to look at me and said:

"Don't go."

Uncle Quan took a fairy stick for Qing'er and Ying'er to play, but she was still too young, so she could only watch the two brothers play, they were playing, and they were chasing and running behind her.

"Promise me, this is the last time you'll see him."

Qi Jin continued.

I looked into his eyes and suddenly felt that this Qi Jin in front of me was so unfamiliar. What about the sunny little boy? The little boy whose eyes would bend into crescents when he smiled seemed to be gone. I kept looking at him and didn't speak, he didn't get the answer he wanted, so I frowned:

"Promise me!"

I reached out to smooth his brow, and he was touched by mine.

"Okay, I promise you. Say yes to the three wishes, you have already used two. ”

Relieved, he hugged me tightly in his arms. He kissed my earlobe and whispered:

"I love you."

I buried my head in his neck, and the tears in the corners of my eyes were soaked in his brocade robe.

Under the fireworks, she quietly looked at her appearance, just like when she was lying on the grass and looking at the starry sky.

The ninth brother said that on that day, after she returned from the Zongren Mansion, she ran to beg Sixteen to let her go. Sixteen let herself go, and she also promised Sixteen not to see herself again in this life.

When she saw Prince Lin's Mansion today, it was really unexpected, no wonder she didn't speak when she saw her.

Jin'er, take care.

Uncle Guo knelt in the Qianqing Palace for a morning and begged the emperor to let him see his delirious daughter.

Qi Jin agreed.

On the way to Concubine Zhuang, I met Uncle Guo. I am above the phoenix, and it is he who bows down.

"The minister greets the imperial concubine, and the second elder brother greets."

"In the land of the harem, how can Uncle Guo be here?"

"The minister went to visit the queen."

"The queen has lost her mind, and I hope she can get better soon when she sees her Amma."

"The queen has always been weak and timid, and someone must have deliberately harmed her, so she lost her mind like she did today."

"Oh? Uncle Guo has a clue? ”

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The ministers will wait to see what happens to the victim! ”

I listened, looked into his eyes, and raised the corners of my mouth slightly:

"Yes, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Hongu is also waiting for this day to see what will happen to those who harm people. It's a pity that the grandma and Eniang in this palace can't see it. ”

When Uncle Guo heard this, his face turned white in an instant. I waved my hand, and Feng Yuan continued walking. Leave him alone on his knees.

There were several new concubines in Concubine Zhuang's palace who were drinking tea, and when they saw me coming, they got up to say goodbye. Concubine Zhuang came forward to greet me:

"The concubine greets the imperial concubine."

My son was held by me, and when he saw so many people, he hid behind me.

"I have long heard that the second elder brother is handsome and cute, and today the concubine saw the second elder brother for the first time, and she really followed the appearance of the imperial concubine."

"When I am young, I will not give you a gift. He'er, I've been clamoring to come to my brother to play, but the palace can't resist him, so I'm here for you. ”

Concubine Zhuang smiled and replied:

"He'er is playing in the garden in the backyard with Mama here, and the concubine is going to call him over."

"Wouldn't it be better to let Xi'er take her son to her brother?"

Xi'er stepped forward and took my hand, and led him to follow Concubine Zhuang's personal maid to the backyard. The nurse and Cuiyue, as well as the two fathers-in-law pointed out by Qi Jin, also followed. As soon as I sat down, tea came up. The best dragon well, refreshing aroma.

"I heard that today, Uncle Guo entered the palace to ask the emperor to ask him to go and see the queen."

It was a face I had never seen before, and Cuixing whispered in my ear beside me:

"The royal nobleman who was just crowned the day before yesterday."

"Yes, the emperor has promised, Uncle Guo should have arrived at Zhongcui Palace at this time."

Xi Concubine followed. Concubine Zhuang turned her head sideways and said something to the maid on the side, and Concubine Chang smiled:

"Not long after the queen mother got married, she met a big snake in her palace, which is also strange to say. Isn't there someone who wants to harm the queen? The queen mother is the main master of the middle palace, she has lost her mind, and the power of the harem has fallen on the imperial concubine, speaking of which, the concubine also wants to say a word to the imperial concubine, hard work. ”

This kind of yin and yang weird tone is also difficult for her to bother to say it. I chuckled twice in response to the occasion, and Concubine Zhuang was worried that I would lose my temper, so she scolded:

"Concubine Chang knows the truth? If you don't know, it's better to be cautious in your words and deeds. The queen's current appearance is caused by those two big snakes, and the emperor has ordered someone to deal with them, this matter is over, what do you want to say now? ”

Wang Guiren glanced at Concubine Chang, stood up and knelt down towards me and Concubine Zhuang:

"The concubine has just entered the palace, and she is not familiar with the rules in the palace, so she begs her mother to atone for her sins."

Concubine Zhuang glanced at me sideways, and saw that I didn't mean anything, so she made her own decisions and said:

"When the draft entered the palace, there were rules for grandmothers, and now you say that you are not familiar with it? Even so, then go back and learn the rules of the palace first. This palace will let the original draft girl's teaching Mama teach you well. ”

Wang Guiren panicked when he heard this, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the whole person was thrown to the ground, and his crying was on the line. Seeing Concubine Zhuang reprimanding Wang Guiren like this, Concubine Chang laughed and said:

"I just said that the power of the harem fell on the imperial concubine, and the concubine still advised Concubine Zhuang to be cautious in her words and deeds. Wang Guiren is a noble person who was just crowned by the emperor the day before yesterday, if he is punished, he will ask the emperor when he turns around, but it is not good. ”

This concubine Chang's brain may be a little unbright, a discerning person can see at a glance that Concubine Zhuang is defending me, isn't she scolding Concubine Zhuang at this time? There were eight concubines sitting in the hall, except for Concubine Chang and Concubine Zhuang, no one dared to make a sound, and even the nobles who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to sobble loudly. Xi'er happened to be back at this time, and before she could figure out the situation, she stood beside me and looked at me quietly. I glanced at Xi'er, who leaned over, and I whispered to her:

"It's time for you to slap her ear."

Xi'er didn't react for a while, but Cuixing, who had just retreated to the side, heard it, stepped forward and gave Chang Concubine a slap. After a slap, I raised my hand and was about to hit a second time, but I stopped in time:

"Wang Guiren wants to learn the rules, according to the palace, Chang Concubine is the one who should learn the rules again. It's all concubines, don't say the wrong thing one day and make the emperor unhappy. If the emperor is unhappy, the days will not pass. Concubine Chang, what do you say? ”

Cui Xing returned to me, Chang Concubine covered her face, knelt on the ground hatefully, looked at me with resentful eyes, and jumped word by word:

"The concubine knows that she is wrong."

"Concubine Zhuang is a concubine, you are a concubine, Wang Guiren is not even a concubine, she wants to punish anyone you here, and it will not be your turn

Gossip. The four words of prudence and prudence are given to you by Concubine Zhuang, and the palace heard that your words are good, especially the best seal writing, or else, you will go back and copy it three thousand times by hand to express your gratitude to Concubine Zhuang. ”

When Concubine Chang heard this, she couldn't help but ask:

"Seal script, three thousand times!?"

I raised an eyebrow:

"Less? Six thousand ......"

"The concubine knows, so she will go back to the palace and copy it three thousand times."

"Okay, tomorrow at noon, the palace will let someone go to your palace to pick it up."

"The concubine will retire first."

Seeing Concubine Chang walk away, Wang Guiren began to beg for mercy again. I really had a headache when I listened, so I stood up:

"Bengong will go to the backyard to see the eldest brother and the second elder brother, and you continue to talk."

When I walked out, I could still hear the voice of Wang Guiren begging for mercy. I rubbed my temples, and Xi'er smiled behind me:

"Before the slave could react, Cui Xing was on board. This slap can be regarded as revenge for the slave maid. ”

"Sister Xi'er doesn't know, the words of the concubine are implying that the queen's mother lost her mind and our mother did it intentionally, and then said that Concubine Zhuang acted beyond the rules. The slave was really angry, so she rushed forward. ”

"In the future, I will not go up on this occasion, if I hadn't been making noise to come to play with He'er today, I wouldn't want to go out. How nice it is to bask in the sun in the garden and eat snacks. ”

Qiheng went straight to my Xianfu Palace after getting off the court. I had just taken a sip of water and almost squirted out at his words.

"Sister, you know, now the Queen Mother and her party are spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the queen's incident was done by my sister!"

Xi'er helped me pat my back, I finally swallowed it, and subconsciously asked:

"What?"

"They said that it was my sister who found two big snakes and threw them into Zhongcui Palace, the queen has been timid since she was a child, and she is especially afraid of such poisons.

"Joke!" Those two snakes were obviously sent by Qi Jin, what do you care about me! And last time, I didn't send the phoenix seal, but I'm afraid she didn't know what the phoenix seal looked like at all.

"I'm afraid that the emperor has already heard this kind of rumor at this time, and if it goes on like this, it will not be good for my sister!"

"I didn't do it, so why should I be afraid. I know the story of this matter, and the emperor also knows it. It's not a big problem, you don't have to worry too much. By the way, how about these days? I'm in the palace, you're outside the palace, I can't take care of you all the time, you have to take good care of yourself. ”

"My sister has to take care of the affairs of the harem and take care of my son, I'm fine, my sister doesn't have to worry."

"I remember E-Niang mentioned that you are three years younger than me, right?"

"yes, three."

"Three years old, at your age, it's a good time to fall in love, I'll talk to the emperor another day, see if there are any beautiful and age-appropriate girls, and then make an appointment to come to the palace and meet?"

"This ...... Sister, what we just said was that you were ......"

"Oops, it's okay, I can handle it. At present, it seems that your marriage is more important. Look at you, you are more than eight feet tall, beautiful in appearance, better than Zou Ji, why didn't anyone come to ask me if you were married? ”

This is indeed a question, why hasn't anyone asked me if Qiheng has no blessings? Now that both of our parents have died, this matter really has to be put on the agenda for the inheritance of Amma's lineage. The imperial concubine is his sister, and he himself is the newly promoted Prince Lin, a typical diamond king.

"Seriously, do you have a favorite woman? ”

Qiheng took a sip of tea, glanced at me, lowered his eyes, and said with a slight smile:

"Nope. If my sister is satisfied, I will marry her. ”

"What the hell, it's not my Fujin! If you have something you like, you must tell me that only when you are happy with each other, you can love each other in the future, and your life will be harmonious and beautiful. ”

"Just like you and the emperor?"

"Me? Qi Jin and I are in love, but we are in the emperor's house, and we are not as good as ordinary people, and we can't help ourselves. I'm trapped in this golden wire cage, you're different, I hope you can live like that, just like Ama and Eniang. ”

At the mention of Ama and Eniang, Qiheng was slightly stunned, and then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth:

"Okay."

pestering Qiheng to play. Qiheng also cooperated with him and accompanied him like a big child. When it was almost lunch, Qi Jin suddenly came.

"Thinking that you usually have lunch at this hour on weekdays, I didn't let Wang Xi report in advance." Qi Jin held the folding fan in his hand, entered the house, and handed the folding fan to me:

"I just drew it, and I'll give it to you."

I took it and opened it to see that there was a begonia flower painted on it. The cashier mentioned my name and his.

"Yes, good drawing."

"Like?"

"yes, I like it."

Qiheng came over with a sweaty child. As soon as Qi Jin stretched out his hand, he smiled and bent his eyebrows, and reached out to Qi Jin's arms.

"My fourth elder brother, do you miss Huang Ama?"

"I want to~"

Qi Heng knelt on the ground and said goodbye to Qi Jin:

"Say hello to the emperor."

"Get up."

With that, he walked towards the house with his arms in his arms.

"Xi'er, what did you do today?" Qi Jin sat down with her arms in her arms and asked casually. Xi'er curtsied and replied:

"Back to the emperor, today's master ordered to make mushroom soup, squirrel osmanthus fish, fried eggplant box, fried lotus root slices, and fried river shrimp with leeks."

"Did you hear that, son, you can drink mushroom soup in a while~"

He tugged at both arms and giggled.

"If it's all ready, let's serve it." I said to Xi'er. Xi'er went down, and Cuixing brought tea up.

"Do you know that the ministers of the DPRK and China have daughters who are not yet married?"

"What's wrong?" Qi Jin looked puzzled. I took a piece of pastry and fed it to my mouth:

"Qiheng hasn't been blessed yet. I'm alone. ”

Qi Jin suddenly realized and said with a smile:

"Your sister is more anxious than you. Also, the backyard of your house is still empty now, and the huge mansion is somewhat empty. You are the current Prince Lin, so naturally you can't be sloppy in marriage, and the position of Fujin can't be given hastily. I will first point you to a few side blessings, and then how about pointing out to you a woman with the right family background, appearance and conduct? ”

"The ministers are at the mercy of the emperor's arrangement."

"I just wanted to ask him if he had a crush, he was fine, his mouth was hard at this time, and he said no matter what."

Qi Jin smiled:

"Why don't you ask him what kind of woman he likes, wouldn't it be better if you could help him find one?"

"Yes, Qiheng, tell me, what do you like?"

Both pairs of eyes were staring at Qi Heng, and his ears turned red all of a sudden.

Lying in Qi Jin's arms, his little head turned sideways, he also looked at Qi Heng.

"I, I...... It's good to have a lively personality. ”

Oh my God, it's finally coming out.

"Lively personality? That's right, your house is too quiet, you have to find a lively one. ”

Qi Jin nodded.

"Okay, I'll find you this way, and I'll post another day, and let the ladies lead the marriageable girls of the family into the palace for a day. You're both going to be here then! ”

"I won't come, just come with Qiheng." Qi Jin touched her head and looked at me:

"If there is a person in love, I will give them both a marriage."

"Wow~"

Qiheng left after lunch. Qi Jin asked Wang Xi to send the excerpts to Xianfu Palace and requisitioned my study. After I put my son to sleep, I thought about the rumors spread by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother this morning, and decided to ask Qi Jin how to deal with this matter. Wang Xi brought a cup of tea and was about to go in, so I took it and pushed the door open.
