Chapter 388: The Little Overlord of the Palace

I don't know what Yan Kaizhi and Cheng Li said, he actually took the initiative to tell Shaohua that he was willing to stay, but it made Cheng Xi, who had just gotten used to his brother, cry for a long time. Shaohua asked him rhetorically, if he wanted him to stay and let his brother go back to northern Sichuan, he didn't speak for a long time with red eyes. Fortunately, Yan Kaizhi said that the emperor's eldest son was still young, and the queen was reluctant to let him enter the school so quickly, and he was still hesitating about the candidate for the Taifu, so if they set off in the near future, Cheng Li could still accompany them back.

This news made the two little boys very happy, and they saluted and thanked Yan Kaizhi in a similar way, making the maids laugh.

Moreover, Yan Kaizhi also told Shaohua that the emperor promised him that he would personally escort Cheng Li to northern Sichuan to accompany them for the New Year a month in advance every year, which made Shaohua breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that her two sons had reconciled as before, she snuggled in her husband's arms, and a picture of a family of five keeping the year old had already been sketched in her mind.

Since it was the emperor's promise, it was inevitable that he would enter the palace to thank him, Shaohua was reluctant to go in for a long time, but a holy decree came down and directly sealed a decree to her, so it was difficult for her not to enter the palace. Empress Dowager He is gone, Shaohua will inevitably enter the palace to say hello to the highest one in the harem, although there is no holiday with He, but in the end it is the He family, Shaohua is not very comfortable.

Yan Kaizhi saw her emotions, "Don't worry, it is not the queen who is in charge of the harem now, but Concubine Qi, the granddaughter of the Duke of Qi and the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu." ”

Shaohua felt a little surprised, and only after listening to him did he know that Qi Zhaoyi was promoted to the position of concubine because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and took the initiative to raise the emperor's eldest son under the queen's knees, so the emperor made an exception and named her a concubine and took charge of the harem for the queen. And Empress He because of taking care of the queen mother, tired of the root of the disease, I am afraid that it is difficult to get pregnant, the emperor is considerate of the queen's filial piety, so the eldest son of the emperor is raised under the queen's knees, and the future prince is also justified.

Obviously, He Wanru is less than thirty years old, and she announced that she was not pregnant so quickly, but she was afraid that the emperor had other plans, and directly threw a son to her, which was simply killing her selfishness. If you want to say that she has no son, the eldest son of the emperor is raised in front of her, and whoever sees it has to be regarded as the eldest son. But to say that she has a son, this son's biological mother is indeed the concubine in charge of the harem, and she comes to see her son in the name of asking the queen for guidance in three days, even if she wants to be selfish, she can't raise it.

Thinking about it like this, Shaohua felt that Hongyi's move really broke the Empress Dowager He's thoughts, if she knew about it, I was afraid that she would not be able to turn a blind eye.

And Yan Kaizhi knew that there would be such a day, but he felt sorry for Rouwan, in fact, if it weren't for Empress Dowager He's pampering, she shouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

Wearing the unique red big-sleeved shirt of the wife, the pearl green and the golden curtain, with the special bun of the mountain pine and the fake sideburns, she walked and shook so terrified. It's hateful that Yan Kaizhi at least pursed his lips and snickered, and then told her halfway that Concubine Qi would accompany her to thank Empress He, and wait in the imperial garden after the invitation, he had to go to the emperor to greet him. He also told his two sons to take care of Shaohua, and if the two of them were burdened, they immediately stuck to Shaohua's side nervously, as if she would be robbed.

Fortunately, He Wanru didn't make it difficult, maybe it was the relationship with Concubine Qi, and he was very unhappy when he saw Shaohua's two sons being smart and clever. So, before a cup of tea was issued, the eviction order was issued, and Concubine Qi didn't bother to make a detour with her, so she left with Shaohua. Knowing that Shaohua needed to wait for Yan Kaizhi, he ordered someone to send her to the imperial garden, and he went back to the palace.

I was nervous for most of the day, and I thought it was over, but I was told that the emperor was also coming to meet them. Shaohua cursed Yan Kaizhi thousands of times in his heart, holding this pearl and jade hairpin ring, it is not easy to maintain balance and be careful, and he has to bow and kneel, and he has to have thousands of manners, and he has to stare at his two sons not to mess around. Shaohua felt that this was harder than letting her do coolies, and she didn't dare to relax all day, but fortunately, she was basically in a coma and didn't cry once.

The boy who has been restrained for most of the day finally can't stand his stubborn nature, especially Cheng Xi, since he reconciled with Cheng Li, the two are inseparable, and the naughty mischief is also double. Shaohua watched them bite each other's ears, his brows suddenly jumped, and he immediately knew that they were about to start going wild again. Looking left and right at the quiet imperial garden, I don't know if there will be the concubine passing by, so I hurriedly called: "When you see people later, you are not allowed to mess around, you have to salute when you should salute, this is not like being at home." ”

Cheng Xirou's body, wearing a jujube red dress, looked particularly festive, and he grimaced at Shaohua, "Okay, Auntie, don't nag, my ears hurt." ”

"Just you have a lot of things, you see why my brother doesn't talk as much as you." Shaohua felt more and more that it was a mistake to take Chengxi with him, and he must not continue to be annoyed to death by him in the future.

Cheng Xi smiled at his brother, "My brother has been deaf by you." ”

Shaohua sank his expression, he pretended to be very scared and made a pitiful appearance, and after a while, he showed a stubborn appearance, and Shaohua was so angry that he scolded: "You stinky boy." If it weren't for the fact that this outfit was so heavy that he felt like he would fall when he took a few steps, she would never spare him.

"Brother save me!" At this time, Cheng Xi jumped up in fright and hid behind Cheng Li. Cheng Li was also very cooperative, like an old hen, protecting her younger brother behind her. I don't know when I woke up softly, watching the two brothers playing, I also waved my little hands happily, and babbled in my mouth.

"Cluck, cluck......"

Everyone's eyes were suddenly attracted by the softness, Shaohua took her daughter from the nurse's arms, and the two little boys immediately surrounded her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Brother, is Squish talking to us?"

"Giggles."

Looking at Cheng Xi's grimace, he grinned softly and showed two small baby teeth, which looked very cute, and a call similar to "brother" made Shaohua's eyes suddenly red. Cheng Xi looked at Shaohua excitedly, and then looked at the softness that kept laughing, "Auntie, the softness is calling me!" ”

"You heard me wrong." Shaohua said angrily. Other people's children are either called A-Niang or Daddy, but her daughter is good, and when she opens her mouth, she actually calls her brother, and daring to love her brother is more important than her A-Niang.

"It's true!" Cheng Xi refused to give up, and began to surround Softsoft, teasing her to continue calling her brother. Shaohua was not convinced, and raised his daughter above his head, not letting his son touch it, and had to teach his daughter to call A-Niang. I don't know why I looked at the big two, the little three, and she said and laughed, and she was also very happy, kicking her little short legs hard, laughing so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.

However, Shaohua didn't know that the happiness of the four of them was indeed another scene in the eyes of others.

As early as when Shaohua entered the Imperial Garden, he was already here, and he wanted to go out and meet her for a while. After so many years of absence, he has already grown a beard, and there are a group of children under his knees, and her eyebrows and eyes seem to remain the same, and even her smile is still as pure and clear as it was at the beginning. He didn't dare to imagine that if he had left her in the capital back then, he would still be able to see her such a carefree smile now. He was very much looking forward to the kind of surprise, even panic, and surprise when Shaohua saw him, just like the deer crashed back then.

But when Cheng Li and Cheng Xi ran to her side, Hongfang's smile disappeared suddenly, because these two faces were simply a copy of Yan Kaizhi. Looking at her gentle and tolerant smile towards her son, he had thought more than once that she behaved to the children who belonged to them, but her children were like Yan Kaizhi.

In the end, he chose to stand quietly in place, across the flower corridor, looking at her serene and tranquil back, her eyelashes as long as butterflies, and her smile as bright as a flower......

"Daddy, I've got you."

A small figure swooped at his feet, interrupting his affectionate gaze and alarming the beautiful woman outside the flower gallery.

Hongfang frowned, looked down at his son who was laughing at him, and looked at his facial features that were seven points similar to his own, and his heart calmed down. He is also a man with a son now, but he is still secretly watching the beauty behind his back and delusional. He curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, took his son by the hand, and walked out from behind the flower gallery.

I didn't expect to meet Hongfang in this place at all, she made all kinds of conjectures, thinking that she would meet the palace concubine and noblewoman, but she didn't expect that the first one she met was Hongfang.

Shaohua looked around nervously, and saw that Yan Kaizhi couldn't come as suddenly as she hoped, so he could only hold his daughter and give Hongfang a salute. "I've seen the prince." Looking up, Hongfang was unconscious, walked to her original position and sat down, causing her to hold her daughter and stand in place awkwardly.

Looking at the beauty so closely, Hongfang realized that she had actually changed, no longer the proud eyes of the year, and I don't know if it was the wind and sand in northern Sichuan that were too big, or the stubbornness of the children that pulled down the corners of her raised eyes and bent down the gentle arc. The face is not as round as it was at the beginning, but it seems to have been cut by the years, making the apricot eyes more bright.

Perhaps Hongfang's gaze was too focused and he forgot to avoid it, until Shaohua coughed lightly, he replied unhurriedly: "I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." ”

"Toshizi Jiyan, it's all good."

In fact, in addition to growing a beard, Hongfang's appearance is still the same as at the beginning, the same cynicism, the same unruliness. In my heart, I was grateful to Hongfang for his help, but when I saw me, I felt another thing in my heart.

Hongfang saw the detachment in Shaohua's tone, and when he looked up, her eyes were only looking around, and he deliberately asked, "Do you hate me or are you afraid of me?" ”

Shaohua came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth pulled unnaturally, "Where did the prince say, it's just that my husband is not here, and it's not good to meet in private like this......"

"There are so many people, are you still afraid that I will not be able to abduct you?" Hongfang didn't seem to hear her speak, Wuzi interrupted her, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Shaohua holding his daughter and glaring at him. "You're still the same, just like before."

Hongfang pointed to her position just now and said, "Sit down, I was also left behind, and by the way, take care of this demon king of the mixed world." "Where does Shaohua dare to sit, even if she is now named a second-grade wife, in front of Hongfang, a quasi-prince, she can only stand. I only prayed in my heart that Yan Kaizhi would come over quickly, otherwise, if he was seen by others, he might have to gossip. Shaohua was about to leave under an excuse, but Hongfang summoned his son over, "Chengyu, come here, give ...... Mrs. Xingyong Marquis, please be in peace. ”

At this time, Shaohua noticed that a little boy who had been hiding beside Hongfang looked about the same age as Cheng Li, but he thought that he should only be older than Cheng Xi. What surprised her even more was that Chengji's appearance was like a miniature version of Hongfang, especially those eyes. She secretly sighed in her heart, this young age is already so demonic, if he grows up, how many ladies will have to be heartbroken for him. She looked back at her two sons, and thought that if there were any more four gentlemen in Beijing in the future, her two sons would have to occupy half of the seats.

Thinking like this, Shaohua couldn't help but feel a little proud.

I don't know where Shaohua's confident smile came from, Cheng Ji looked a little unhappy, and pouted: "She didn't even give me a greeting." ”
