In the autumn of the ninth year of Hongqing, Du Jinning rushed back from other places.

When the flood receded in the south this year, Du Jinning went to the south when the flood receded and instructed the victims to build water conservancy.

Although her research direction in her previous life was agricultural planting, water conservancy is closely related to planting, and she has some understanding of water conservancy suggestions, at least much better than people in this era. Therefore, before the talents in this area are brought out, she has to go into battle in person, go to explore the land, and determine the general direction and type of water conservancy proposals with the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

The lack of transportation, coupled with the fact that she had been there for a month, had been away from home for almost four months when she returned.

After entering the princess's mansion and going straight to the backyard, I just arrived at the weeping flower gate, and saw a few people standing there surrounded by a small bean ding.

Qi Ziqi's child was born in the spring of Hongqing's seventh year, and he is now two and a half years old.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan are both high-value and high-IQ people, Qi Ziqi's children have not lived up to their parents' genetics at all, they look like a pink carving, and their IQ is also extraordinary, and the time they talk is about the same as that of other children, but as soon as he spoke, he jumped out word by word, and he could express his meaning very clearly and clearly. He could understand what the adults were saying, and he could remember it once he said it.

This made Qi Bokun overjoyed, and he didn't know what to do.

If it weren't for Zhao Yu's repeated retention, and another mother who wanted to live in the princess's mansion, he would have wanted to go home and bring his great-grandson.

The child's memory is short, and he hasn't seen him for half a year, and when he saw Qi Ziqi standing there, staring at himself blankly, Du Jinning knew that he had almost forgotten himself.

The maid in the house knew the temperament of her princess, and since she learned that she had entered the mansion, someone quickly went to the kitchen, brought water and towels with a copper basin, and sent them to Du Jinning at this time.

Du Jinning washed his hands and face, and then walked in front of Qi Ziqi, who had been staring at him for a moment, and called: "Smash." ”

Only Du Jinning will call him like this, and others will either call him "Little County King" or "Qian'er".

So this sound was like a key switch, and I saw a big smile blooming on Qi Ziqi's little face, rushing over like a small cannonball, throwing himself into Du Jinning's arms, and calling crisply: "Mother." There was joy in his voice, and there was a hint of grievance.

I haven't seen my mother and mother for half a year, and the child is very aggrieved.

Du Jinning squatted down, kissed his fleshy cheek, and asked with a smile, "What did Qian'er do at home?" ”

"I was playing with the ball just now." Qi Ziqi's milk voice was milky.

Aunt Yan walked up and explained with a smile: "In the morning, the Queen Mother sent someone to pick up the little prince to the palace, and he saw the five princes playing with ball, and he also wanted it, so the Queen Mother gave one to him." ”

Because Qi Ziqi is smart and cute, Empress Dowager Zheng likes what he likes, so she sends people to pick him up to the palace from time to time.

As for the fifth prince, it was the niece of the Empress Dowager Zheng who married into the palace, and she is four and a half years old this year. Because of their similar age, Empress Dowager Zheng often asked the two to play together.

"Mother, mother." Qi Ziqi tugged at Du Jinning's sleeve, and after she focused her attention on him, he said, "The Queen Mother's grandmother said that Qian'er is smarter than the fifth prince's brother. ”

After saying this, he turned his head, looked at Aunt Yan with wide eyes, and motioned for her to add details.

Aunt Yan smiled and said: "The Queen Mother taught the five princes to read and write, and the five princes couldn't remember it after teaching it twice, but our little county king remembered it next to her, and said it directly, and the Queen Mother praised the little county king for being smart." ”

Qi Ziqi looked at Du Jinning very proudly, hoping that his mother could praise him.

Du Jinning had no choice but to say: "Our little stranger is smart." ”

Qi Ziqi laughed a little embarrassedly and threw himself into Du Jinning's arms.

Du Jinning deliberately changed into clean clothes before getting out of the carriage, picked him up at this time, and asked as he walked inside: "When the Queen Mother's grandmother praised her children, was the fifth prince's brother sad?" ”

Qi Ziqi tilted his little head and thought for a while, and then nodded: "The fifth prince's brother is stupid." He nodded to himself again, "Strange is smart." ”

"Is that a child smart or a mother smart?" Du Jinning asked again.

Qi Ziqi glanced at Du Jinning, thought about it and glanced at her again, then lowered his head, twisted his little fat hand, and admitted with some reluctance: "Mother is smart." ”

This is Qi Bokun often praising Du Jinning for being smart in front of Qi Ziqi, so Qi Ziqi has an inherent impression that his mother is the smartest person in the world.

"Qi'er is stupider than her mother, don't you feel sad in your heart?" Du Jinning asked again.

Qi Ziqi frowned, touched his chest with his right hand—my mother said before, the heart is here—and then said uncertainly: "A little bit." ”

"So, if you say that others are stupid, others will be sad, and the fifth prince brother may secretly cry when he goes back to the palace. In the future, even if Qi'er knows that she is smarter than others, don't say it, okay? Du Jinning said patiently.

Qi Ziqi nodded his little head: "Okay." ”

"Do you know why your mother is so smart?" Du Jinning asked again.

"Why?" Qi Ziqi asked with big black grape-like eyes.

"Because my mother has read a lot of books."

"I also have to read a lot of books." Qi Ziqi said immediately.

"If you want to read, you have to know how to read. Can Qi'er recognize twenty words a day? ”

Qi Ziqi nodded and replied loudly: "Yes." ”

Aunt Yan has no children in her life, although she has served a few little masters in the palace, but none of them are as beloved as Qi Ziqi.

Hearing this, she said disapprovingly: "Princess, the king of the county is still young." ”

Before Du Jinning could speak, Qi Ziqi turned his head and said to Aunt Yan with great disapproval: "Mama Yan, I'm not young, I'm two and a half years old." Daddy said, I'm a big kid. ”

Everyone laughed.

Qi Ziqi looked at Aunt Yan, then at Du Jinning, and said very unconvinced: "I cried my nose yesterday, and my father said that I am a big child, and I can't cry my nose all the time." ”

As he spoke, he struggled to get off the ground: "Daddy also said that when I grow up, I have to walk by myself, and I can't keep being hugged." ”

Du Jinning had to put him down.

Qi Ziqi's little hand was held in his mother's hand, and his two feet "kicked and tapped" while walking, and raised his little face and smiled sweetly at her.

Du Jinning looked at his cute appearance, his heart was about to melt, he just wanted to rub him into his heart, and made up his mind that when Qi Ziqi was young, he would stay with him more at home and go out less.

There are many officials in the Ministry of Industry who understand water conservancy, and she can be of great use if she trains more, and she doesn't need to go out on her own.
