The winter of this year was very cold, and there were maritime incidents in both the Shaohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The imperial court sent imperial envoys to the Laiyi Peninsula for disaster relief.

Freezing three feet does not happen overnight. Qi Jing knew that the elder brother who was in charge of the household affairs two years later had been reprimanded by his father and lost his job, so he paid close attention to these things.

The people who went to disaster relief, the time of departure and the final disaster relief results were basically consistent with his memories of his previous life.

Although he couldn't remind the elder brother clearly, Qi Jing also tried to find out some things, but he didn't find any superficial connection between the people who helped the disaster and the fifth prince.

Qi Jing thought: Either it is hidden deeply, or the fifth brother has not fully done it yet... But in any case, there should be clues about the granary.

The supplies for disaster relief are mainly grain and cotton, and Laiyiwei also has a granary, but it is no longer enough to supply the affected areas.

Once the grain is adjusted from the remaining granaries, there must be unknown "arrangements".

Qi Jing's own strength is still limited, so he naturally needs the help of Qi Heng, the emperor's brother who is crowned king.

He reminded Qi Heng that the East-West Canal had already been dug, and the granary in the central part was the main force for grain adjustment. Zhuang Jin, the prefect of Mengliang, might slowly show some flaws.

Qi Heng had been trying to find a way to stabilize the prefect of Mengliang, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity.

It's just that Qingzhou's granary is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the second prince can't do it for him, so he decided to discuss with the first prince in secret after he found out the problem, so that he can take down such treacherous people in one fell swoop.

After the New Year's Eve, Shaoxuan went to Qiongning after a heavy snowfall. Fortunately, Qijing had something to do and Xiaoshi was by his side, otherwise it would be really hard.

As the month progressed, the eldest sister could no longer hide the fact that she was pregnant, no matter what she thought in her heart, everyone in the palace was filled with joy.

Qi Jing could imagine how angry the emperor of Jingzhou would be when he heard about this, but the mountains were high and the road was far away, so they couldn't do anything about it.

The other party wanted to wait for the beginning of spring to let Prince Xuanfeng come to Qingzhou to see if it was possible to bring the princess back. Who knew that there was a rebellion among the Jizhou royal family at this time, and the news quickly spread throughout the Kyushu mainland.

Conspiracy is not a trivial matter in any country. In a neighboring country, the royal family of Qingzhou is very concerned about the rebellion in Jizhou.

Sitting in the Zichen Palace, Qi Jun threw the booklet in his hand on the table: "Emperor Ji has only been in power for 11 years. First, there were rebels in the north, and now even the royal family in Beijing has rebelled. They are really weak and incompetent."

I am afraid that only His Majesty can and dare to say this kind of words. Several adult princes who have already been consuls were called into the palace. At this moment, they all bowed their heads and remained silent. It could be heard that the royal father's tone was extremely unhappy.

Prince Zong Zhengduo, who was also standing in the hall, was even more arrogant and did not dare to say a word.

——Among the royal families involved in the rebellion in Jizhou this time, is there a prince who has been in charge of the Zongzheng Temple in Jizhou for many years!

The first emperor of Jizhou and the current emperor are half brothers, known as Emperor Li in history, he is a tyrant who is violent and perverse.

Before his death due to illness, he appointed a younger brother as the heir to the throne, and at the same time appointed another half-brother as the regent, and gave the regent great military power, so that the military strength of the entire Liyang three counties was obeyed by the regent himself. .

On the surface, it is said that the regent is to assist the monarch, but this arrangement seems to be that he does not want Jizhou to be stable.

However, there is a powerful queen mother in the court, and the emperor has a gentle personality and his mother's family is not obvious, but the regent is noble, brave and good at fighting... The minister is strong and the monarch is weak, and the relatives control the power. In short, the situation in Jizhou is hard to describe.

There was a rebellion in the northern border of Jizhou before, and the regent Liu Yu led troops to suppress it. It finally settled down, and now there is an even bigger disturbance.

Surprisingly, the rebellion in Tianjing was not solved by the power of the regent at all, but the emperor of Jizhou quelled the rebellion himself, and then he summoned the remaining royal family to Tianjing, Jizhou to hear the case of treason.

This incident had a far-reaching impact on both Qingzhou and Jingzhou.

First of all, Qingzhou and Jizhou are neighbors. If there is chaos in Jizhou, there will be changes on the border between the two countries. Qingzhou can only send more troops to resist the imminent demons.

As for Jingzhou, although it is far away from Jizhou, there is no queen mother and relatives to control the government, and there is no regent established by the previous emperor to watch over him, but the emperor of Jingzhou also has the same trouble as the emperor of Jizhou, that is, not having enough children.

The emperor of Jizhou has only one sick son, and the emperor of Jingzhou has several children, but the only prince who has awakened his martial arts is also in poor health.

Jingzhou does not have a regent who is as powerful as Liu Yu, but Prince Xuanfeng and the emperor's mother are equally distinguished.

If Prince Xuanfeng hadn't had any heirs, there might have been troubles already.

At this time, news spread that Princess Xuanfeng was pregnant, and the situation immediately became delicate. Not only Qi Rong herself, but even the entire Qingzhou royal family were concerned.

"Fortunately, Lao Qi thought of a way in advance to let the emperor's grandmother and father take the initiative to keep me, otherwise..."

Otherwise, the worst scenario she imagined at the beginning may be about to happen.

Her child suddenly became the focus of attention. Although Qingzhou is her natal family, the two countries are neighbors after all, and it is not easy to fight against each other. If the emperor of Qingzhou hadn't opened his golden mouth and let his eldest daughter stay in Qingzhou to give birth, it might have happened at this moment shaken.

The lesson of Jizhou is too great, and the emperor of Jingzhou will definitely be warned, and then he will be afraid.

Although without Qi Rong's child, Prince Xuanfeng's Mansion may not continue to gain the trust of the emperor, but with this child, the situation has become more serious.

The mother's nature is so, and even today, she has never regretted trying to keep the child—even if she is destined to part with him in the future.

Qi Rong found a way to find the seventh prince alone, and even the eldest princess Xuanying kept it a secret.

"A Jing, Miss Huang has something to ask..."

……

Qi Jing returned to the Prince's Mansion from the palace, and he was greeted by Xiao Shiyi who was standing on the porch and admiring the snowmen made by Jiu and the others.

The little guy was still wrapped like a rice dumpling, his eyes were round and bright, and his half-exposed face was red and fluttering, looking very happy.

Qi Jing walked over and picked up the younger brother who was reaching out for a hug. The warmth of the little guy immediately warmed Qi Jing's embrace.

"What are you playing?" Qi Jing looked at the yard and found that there were several snowdrifts there.

The little guy immediately answered his brother's question in a childlike voice: "Jiujiu is building a snowman, including bunnies, little turtles, birds... and my brother!"

Qi Jing: "..." Why does his snowman stay among a group of small animals...

These things were obviously requested by the little prince to make nine piles, but Qi Jing couldn't help but twitched his temples when he saw the tortoise and the rabbit next to the snowman representing him.

Chong Jiu is dexterous, he has carved many puppets for the little prince before, and now he is also very handy in making snowmen.

Not only are the little animals piled up vividly and naively, even the face of the Seventh Prince is carved with a bit of his own.

If this snowman didn't have three heads and Qi Jing's face, the Seventh Prince would be happier.

He thought about it, and said to Chongjiu: "Let's pile up another eleven...to the right of... the turtle." He looked at it for a long time, and gave Chongjiu a creative space.

—that just separated him from the tortoise.

Chong Jiu wore thick waterproof gloves and didn't feel cold. Hearing that His Royal Highness also ordered a snowman, he immediately began to create happily.

When Qi Jing changed his clothes and came out with the clingy little prince in his arms, Chong Jiu not only piled up a little prince, but also a three-headed Shaoxuan by the way.

Although the snowman's face was sculpted in a hurry, not even one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of the beauty of a real person, Qi Jing still looked at it in a daze.

It wasn't until Little Eleven whimpered and asked for his brother's attention that he didn't stay still and continue to stare.

Looking at the snowman of the family of three, he was actually thinking about other things at the moment.

Today, the emperor called his elder brothers and Prince Zong Zhengduo to the Zichen Hall, probably because he wanted to talk about the rebellion of the Jizhou royal family.

This is what Qi Jing found most troublesome at the beginning.

——Because of the rebellion in Jizhou, every emperor in Kyushu may have been suspicious for a while and could not sleep peacefully.

So after Qi Jing was shocked when he heard the request from Elder Sister Huang, he faintly felt that this might be the best choice for the unborn child.

It's just a matter of great importance, this is no longer a simple matter of him trying to persuade the emperor's grandmother to stay with her for a few months...Qi Jing couldn't decide for a while.

"Eleven, last time you said in front of the imperial grandmother that you would like little nephew?" Qi Jing weighed little Eleven and asked.

The little guy was suddenly asked so endlessly, he was slightly taken aback, and then nodded solemnly: "I like it, both boys and girls like it."

Qi Jing: "..."

The female family members in the palace all said that the eldest princess was pregnant with a young son, the empress dowager guessed what Qi Rong was thinking, and said that it would be good to have a boy or a girl, and Xiao Shiyi remembered what she said.

When Qi Jing was dumbfounded, a person came in the yard, which made him immediately forget about the troubles just now, and only remembered smiling at the person.

"You're back!"

A certain person who rushed back to Tianjing all the way looked deeply at the person he was thinking about day and night, and nodded slightly.

……

When Shaoxuan came back, he was not empty-handed, he brought a few jars with him.

Qi Jing shut his mouth when he saw it, and thought it was the pickles and radishes made in the kitchen of Qiongyin Temple, but Shaoxuan said it was the plum snow he collected in the mountains.

The so-called plum snow is the snow that accumulates on the wintersweet flowers. It is not only the top-grade water for making tea, but also has certain medicinal effects.

"Materia Medica" has a saying: Laxue Ganleng is non-toxic and can detoxify all poisons.It is used to cure the plague of the weather, children with febrile epileptic cries, adults with alchemy, violent fever after drinking, and jaundice. Take it warm.Tibetan utensils wash eyes and reduce redness; fry tea and cook porridge to relieve heat and thirst.

Among the folks, clay pots are used to store snow water in winter, and the collected snow water is used to rub prickly heat on children in summer, which has a good effect.

Although Qi Jing herself is not an arty person, but occasionally when she meets with a few scholar friends, she will use some things that suit the occasion.

In addition, Xiao Shiyi is afraid of the heat in summer, and occasionally has some small bumps.When Shaoxuan was in the mountains, he heard Master Hongchou mention this thing, so he specially collected clean snow water for the two brothers to use.

Little Eleven didn't know how rare Meixue was and how difficult it was to collect. He didn't even understand what was in these jars.

But this didn't stop him from being happy that brother Shaoxuan came back and brought him a gift.

The little guy hugged Shaoxuan's neck happily: "Eleventh likes the round altar!"
