At this time, a thin figure came out of the rockery on the side, only to see her long hair scattered behind her, a goose egg face, apricot eyes, a small mouth slightly pursed, a pair of white and tender hands in front of the abdomen, seemed to be extremely unhappy.

"You can't find me every time, I don't play with you anymore, it's so boring."

Looking at this unfamiliar face, Chu Nian frowned, she didn't often look at the children she brought back, except for Rong'er and Cuixiang, she couldn't remember all the names of the other children at the moment.

Tao Jinyan on the side chuckled, and shook the fan gently, "I want this kid, and, your younger brother, surnamed Shen?" ”

Chu Nian's face was stunned, Rong'er was so well-behaved that she almost forgot that he was Shen Duan's child, and after a while, she pursed her lips, "Does it matter?" ”

Tao Jinyan raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "I want that kid too...... Forget it, I'll take it all. ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian clapped his hands, "Children, come here, my sister will introduce a big brother to you." ”

The children who were having fun noticed Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan on the side, and they all gathered around, looking curiously at Tao Jinyan, who had been smiling and silent. Chu Nian opened his mouth and said: "This is Brother Jinyan, Rong'er, you will have to live with Brother Jinyan in the future." ”

Chu Nian expected that the children would be reluctant, but he didn't expect the children's reaction to be so big, only to see Chu Nian's words fall, and the children looked at each other, but after half a cup of tea, their eyes were red and their little noses were wrinkled.

Among a group of powdery-faced and jade-faced little dolls, Rong'er cried the loudest, "Sister Nian'er doesn't want us anymore!" ”

"Sister, big badass!"

"I won't like my sister anymore!"

……

Chu Nian looked at the children who were playing with a smile, patiently bent down, and hugged Rong'er, who wanted to refuse to return, "Who said that my sister doesn't want you anymore, you will still live in the capital in the future, but you don't live with your sister, if you are willing to listen to your brother, my sister will often go to see you, if you are disobedient, my sister really doesn't want you." ”

Tao Jinyan on the side helped in a timely manner: "With Brother Jinyan, my brother will teach you a lot of powerful things, your sister Nian'er is doing a big thing now, if you learn the ability of Brother Jinyan, you will help Sister Nian'er a lot in the future, don't you want to help Sister Nian'er?" ”

This sentence calmed the children, among this group of children, the big thing that Tao Jinyan said was still very far away for these children who were not yet sensible, but Tao Jinyan said this, and the children began to think, and they were silent one by one. Although Cuixiang is only ten years old, she also understands a lot of human feelings, seeing that the children are speechless for a while, she hurriedly helped: "I also want to help Sanniang, if I learn the skills, I will protect Sanniang from being injured in the future!" ”

After Cuixiang's reminder, the children suddenly remembered Chu Nian, who was unconscious in bed that day, and their little faces suddenly turned white, and together with Rong'er, they also struggled to land with panicked faces, ran to Tao Jinyan's side, and said with a small face: "Brother Jinyan, will you really be able to help my sister a lot?" ”

Tao Jinyan looked at his innocent little face and smiled like a spring breeze, "Of course, my brother's skills are greater than your sister's." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and saw Rong'er clenching his little fist and said, "Okay, then Rong'er will go with my brother and protect my sister in the future!" ”

In the past half a year, Rong'er has also grown a lot taller, at this moment, his big eyes are flashing with an inexplicable light, but it is quite a bit of growth, Chu Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he returned to calm.

Rong'er is the leader of the children, Rong'er has been bought by Tao Jinyan, and the other children are naturally clamoring to help "Sister Nian'er", Chu Nian's heart was slightly moved, and he saw Tao Jinyan and said cheaply: "In the future, you can only listen to Brother Jinyan's words, and you can't even listen to your Sister Nian'er's words." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, I saw the previous Xiao Wu biting his finger and said, "If we can't listen to Sister Nian'er, how can we help my sister?" Brother Jinyan, are you lying? ”

As soon as these words came out, the children looked at Tao Jinyan with suspicious eyes, and no longer shouted to leave with Tao Jinyan, Tao Jinyan had no choice but to say helplessly: "The third lady is a good means, it seems that I really can't collect your money in the future." ”

Chu Nianwan smiled.

In the afternoon, Tao Jinyan left with the reluctant children, for Chu Nian, it is good for the children to leave with Tao Jinyan, all the things she is doing now are not within the scope of the children's bearing, after the affairs of the grandmother, Chu Nian can see more clearly, if she is not able to protect everyone, it is better to teach them to learn to protect themselves.

There is another point, the peach family behind Tao Jinyan.

When Chu Nian was still Su Nian in his previous life, he had nothing to do and had studied some of the forces in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are divided into two factions, namely the reclusive faction and the active faction, a few years ago, for the sake of harmony in the rivers and lakes, these active factions began to hold a martial arts conference, elect the leader of the martial arts alliance, and those who have the order of the alliance leader can order all the people in the rivers and lakes, the year of the fall of the Su family, the martial arts conference was postponed, Chu Nian still doesn't know who the current martial arts alliance leader is, but the last martial arts alliance leader, Chu Nian is clear.

If she remembers correctly, the leader of the last martial arts alliance was surnamed Tao.

The people of the rivers and lakes do not interfere with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the people of the DPRK and China also try not to interfere in the rivers and lakes, and when they found out here, Chu Nian did not continue to investigate, so it is unknown what the strength of the Tao family is, but where can the family that can produce a martial arts alliance leader go? It is precisely because of this that the children are safer than her when they are placed there by Tao Jinyan.

It's just that I don't know where the limit of the Tao family is to let Tao Jinyan interfere in the government, Chu Nian doesn't want to cause the Tao family's dissatisfaction, but for now, she still needs Tao Jinyan's intelligence ability.

……

Within a few days, news came from the palace that the king of Huainan entered Beijing, and the queen mother held a palace banquet to celebrate the return of the king of Huainan to Beijing.

This angry Xiao Chen who was locked up in the pond again, and it was even more exciting for Xiao Chen to risk his life to deal with Chu Nian, this is not mentioned for the time being, and at the moment, Chu Nian did not see Shen Ruan when he entered the palace, the banquet was presided over by the Queen Mother herself, and the emperor and queen were sitting on both sides of the Queen Mother, but the hundred officials were seated, and the main characters of this banquet still failed to attend.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the Queen Mother said impatiently: "Prime Minister, send someone to see if King Huainan has encountered anything and why he hasn't come so late." ”

Wang Zixuan replied in a low voice, and was about to leave, but then he heard a loud laugh from outside the hall: "Queen Mother, this king is late for some important things, but you can't wait?" If you are tired, go back to rest early, because you are old and hurt your body again, it is not good. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw King Huainan striding into the hall, followed by a personable son, about seventeen or eighteen, who seemed to be the rumored talented and intelligent son of King Huainan. For King Huainan, his ambition is known to everyone present, so naturally there is no need to hide it, and he has also changed his demeanor when he met Chu Nian before, wearing a gilded robe, with a crazy face, and he doesn't put the Queen Mother in his eyes at all.

The queen changed color again and again, but she still got in the way of the face of the hundred officials, and raised a smile that seemed kind.

"King Huainan still knows how to care about the mourning family's body, but for so many years, you haven't come back to visit the mourning family once, don't you still remember the hatred of the mourning family?"

King Huainan snorted, "How can this king hold a grudge?" The Queen Mother was too worried. ”

As he spoke, he unceremoniously sat down on the seat at the head of Wang Zixuan, and the prince also sat down beside him, and the father and son looked calm and calm, as if they didn't take everyone present in their eyes at all, and suddenly, the faces of the courtiers of the Wang family faction became more and more unsightly.

At this moment, Chu Nian is sitting on the right side of Liu Qi, Shen Dui is on the left side of Liu Qi, and Chu Yuanlang is on the right side of Chu Nian.

When Liu Qi saw King Huainan, he immediately frowned, glanced at Shen Duan, and then turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian drinking tea calmly, his eyes paused.

Sensing his gaze, Chu Nian turned his eyes and smiled: "King Huainan enters the palace, what do you see me doing." ”

Liu Qi shook his head helplessly, "If the King of Huainan is allowed to continue to run rampant like this, I'm afraid the royal family's face will be wiped out." ”

"Do you not believe in the ability of the Queen Mother, or do you not believe in the ability of the Prime Minister?"

Chu Nian smiled lightly, and then stuffed a grape into his mouth, as if he didn't care about what was happening.

At this time, Chu Nian felt a burning gaze, she raised her eyes and looked at the past, it was the prince of Huainan, at this moment he was looking at Chu Nian with a light smile, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and the two looked at each other, the prince did not feel embarrassed at all, but nodded and smiled calmly.

Chu Nian gave him a detached smile in return, and continued to drink tea, at this time, the war between the first king of Huainan and the queen mother finally rose to a level.

I saw the Queen Mother kindly looking at the prince beside King Huainan, "King Huainan too, you haven't brought him back once since the prince was born, and the mourning family has never seen a good grandson, the prince comes over quickly, and calls the mourning family to take a look." ”

If you talk about it, the queen mother was the queen back then, and the king of Huainan was just the son of the emperor's favorite concubine, according to the number of etiquette, the king of Huainan should call the queen mother a "queen mother", yes, but everyone knows the mind of the king of Huainan, and he is too lazy to do that hypocritical look with the queen mother, that is, he has never called the queen mother "queen mother", at most shouting the queen mother, which is regarded as respect.

However, if it is really based on the number of etiquette, the prince of Huainan should still be called the queen mother "imperial grandmother".

Seeing the Queen Mother's call, the prince was very face-saving, only to see him stand up from his seat and respectfully walk up to the Queen Mother, "Imperial grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, touched Shizi's hand, and seemed very satisfied, "How old is Shizi this year?" ”

Shizi smiled and said, "Back to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson is seventeen years old this year. ”

"Are you married?"

"Not really."

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly, and looked at King Huainan with some disgust, "The prince is so old, why hasn't the prince given the prince a family affair?" It's better to help the mourning family choose a few reliable girls for the prince today, and let the prince take a look at them one by one. ”
