Time flies, and it's a year in the blink of an eye.

During this year, the court was stable and the government was peaceful. Daqi has virtuous sons, diligent and shrewd princes, and many dedicated officials, and everything is smooth.

The old ministers of the three dynasties told the old men one after another, and the young and capable officials filled the official vacancies. Nearly half of the important ministers above the third grade have changed in one or two years.

Lu Chi took over from Chen Shangshu and became the secretary of the ministry. Chen Zhan was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Qi was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. Li Mo, who had been in the official position of the fifth rank for several years, was finally promoted and became the fourth rank of the Tobu Langzhong.

The subordinate officials in the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace also gradually emerged in the court.

Lu Tianyou, the imperial concubine who took a long vacation, re-entered the Hanlin Academy as an errand when the emperor's grandson turned one year old, and was promoted to the six-grade Hanlin bachelor.

The henchmen of the Son of Heaven, who have served in Shu for many years, have also been promoted.

The affairs of the harem are still under Xie Mingxi's control. However, most of Xie Mingxi's time and energy now are focused on Brother Hua'er.

In addition to taking care of the women's workshop on weekdays, Lin Weiwei went to the palace to accompany the emperor and grandson when he had free time. Mrs. Lu reminded her privately a few times: "You always go into the palace to accompany the emperor and grandson, and if the queen doesn't say it, she may not be happy in her heart." ”

In the final analysis, Brother You is a member of the Heavenly Family, and the grandson of the imperial princess is surnamed Sheng and not Lu. Lin Weiwei, the grandmother, always enters the palace, how can the queen be happy?

Lin smiled slightly: "How can this be." The queen is not the kind of person who has a chick belly. ”

In private, Brother You once talked to Lin Weiwei about Ah Luo's plans. Lin Weiwei was so moved that she burst into tears. However, this matter should not be publicized. Therefore, only the husband and wife and the emperor and queen knew about it.

……

Xie Mingxi also expressed his approval and support for A Luo's decision.

As she thought before, Ah Luo's life should be decided by Ah Luo herself.

Sheng Hong actually has some small words.

As a father, where is he willing to let his daughter suffer from pregnancy and childbirth. However, under Xie Mingxi's persuasion and reminder, Sheng Hong finally swallowed all the words and didn't say much to disagree.

The young couple is young and has good physical strength, sticks together all day long, and is very affectionate. When Brother Hua was more than a year old, there was good news again.

With Brother Hua'er in front of him, when the good news of Ah Luo's birth spread, even the officials were extremely calm.

The princess was pregnant, and she still went to the court to listen to the government and discuss politics, and she didn't delay any serious things. At most, it is confinement plus confinement. Anyway, the Son of Heaven is young and vigorous, and it is no problem to sit on the dragon chair for another twenty years. It doesn't hurt Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager to have a few more grandchildren.

After Ah Luo became pregnant, her energy was always not as good as usual. Xie Mingxi simply moved Brother Hua into the Jiaofang Hall and personally took care of Brother Hua'er's diet and daily life.

Brother Hua is very precocious, and when he is ten months old, he will call his father and mother. After turning one year old, my grandfather and grandmother shouted very clearly.

In the cold winter, the weather outside is cold, and it is very warm to burn charcoal basins everywhere in the Jiaofang Palace.

Brother Hua was wearing a red jacket and chubby calves, and staggered towards Xie Mingxi, shouting loudly, "Grandmother." ”

The voice was immature and loud.

Xie Mingxi stretched his brows and responded with a smile, but he didn't reach out to pick up Brother Hua'er, slowly retreated, and led Brother Hua'er forward.

Brother Hua grinned, walked a dozen steps, and finally swayed to the side. Xie Mingxi's eyes were quick, and he quickly picked up Brother Hua'er. Brother Hua suddenly rose into the air, not afraid at all, giggling non-stop.

Xie Mingxi smiled and kissed Brother Hua'er's white and tender little face.

Brother Hua also leaned over and kissed his grandmother's still young and beautiful face. A kiss is a face of saliva.

Xie Mingxi couldn't cry or laugh, and wiped his saliva with his sleeve. Brother Hua was very naughty, leaned his head over again, put his fleshy little mouth on Xie Mingxi's face, and insisted on kissing his saliva again.

Xie Mingxi smiled, stopped wiping his saliva, and let Brother Hua come and go.

Sheng Hong happened to enter the Jiaofang Palace, and when he saw this scene, his eyes immediately became hot. stepped forward and hugged Brother Hua'er, and cheekily handed over his right cheek: "Come, Brother Hua'er, kiss your grandfather." ”

Brother Hua didn't like his grandfather's beard, and twisted his head to the side in disgust.

Sheng Hong: "......"

Sheng Hong looked angry, and stretched out his hand to turn Brother Hua'er's little face around: "Little bastard, he actually dislikes his grandfather." Come over here and kiss my grandfather. Otherwise, grandfather will never like you again in the future. ”

Brother Hua stretched out his little fat hand, pulled Sheng Hong's hair hard, and pulled hard.

Sheng Hong was pulled and shouted: "Eh! ”

Xie Mingxi was amused and laughed.

At this moment, Xiang Hui walked in quickly and whispered a few words to Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly and ordered, "Present the letter." ”

……

This is a letter from Quanzhou, Fujian.

The letter was written by Yin Xiaoxiao.

Xie Mingxi unfolded the letter and read it carefully. His eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't know what he saw, and the corners of his mouth rose higher and higher.

Sheng Hong hugged Brother Hua'er, leaned his head over, and read the letter with Xie Mingxi. I saw that the letter read: "...... I have lived on the island for more than a year, and now I have returned to Quanzhou. On the island, I met a little baby girl who had no mother after birth, and I took pity on the baby girl and adopted her. Single name, one Wei character ......"

Seeing this, Sheng Hong also laughed in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that the fifth sister-in-law and the fifth brother are so old that there will be an old clam and a pearl." ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and glanced at him: "What an old clam shengzhu, don't talk nonsense." ”

People who are almost forty years old, what is it if they are not old mussels?

Sheng Hong slandered in his heart, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Sheng Wei, this name is good." ”

The girls of Ah Luo's generation are all named after the cursive word. Sheng Wei is also the youngest cousin in this generation.

Yin Xiaoxiao announced to the public that she had adopted a righteous daughter, and the child would be able to stay by her mother's side in a bright and bright manner. However, in this case, what should Sheng Ze do?

Xie Mingxi was also a little curious, and continued to watch.

Yin Xiaoxiao wrote in the letter: "...... Xie Wu is the lord of an island, and it is not suitable to live on land for a long time. I discussed with him that we would live at sea for half the year and Quanzhou for half the year. ”

Well, that's not bad. The couple is able to get together for half of the year.

A serious husband and wife is really unthinkable.

The dignified princess of Fujian, if she suddenly remarries, she will definitely attract everyone's attention. The true identity of "Xie Wu" is just a matter of no one investigating and tracing it deeply, and once it arouses suspicion, it will inevitably reveal flaws.

"Xie Wu" can't be exposed in front of others, and the husband and wife can only stay together in this way.

Compared with King Ning and his wife, who have been dead for more than ten years, compared with King Lu who died at sea and Zhao Changqing, who died of illness, Sheng Ze and Yin Xiaoxiao are very lucky.
