Ji Heng's words caused the emperor's expression to change again, and then he said solemnly, "How can you put death on your lips."

Ji Heng laughed and said, "Everyone is mortal, so death is nothing. The living are passers-by, and the dead are returning home. Isn't it?"

The emperor still cared very much, and said, "Don't die before me."

Ji Heng saw that the emperor's face was not angry, but seemed to be more afraid, so he had no choice but to stop, thinking that the emperor had experienced too many deaths of relatives since he was a child, he must have been deeply touched, why should he make him sad anymore.

Ji Heng stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's hand, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this."

The emperor put his arm around Ji Heng, let Ji Heng hold the other hand, buried his face on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you must accompany me to the end, otherwise, I will be really lonely, and I will be alone." will be lonely."

Ji Heng sighed softly. Originally, he still cared about being hugged by the emperor like this, but at this time he didn't want to mind it with the emperor. He just comforted him softly, "It's okay."

August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ji Heng thought that Xu Qilang should have arrived in Yangzhou, but Xu Qilang didn't write him a letter, so he was very worried. When he talked about this with Xu, Xu comforted him and said, "Nothing happened to the Xu family. , and your uncle didn’t send a letter saying that something happened to Xu Qilang. Good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. No news is good news. You don’t have to worry. Maybe Qilang’s letter is already on the way to the capital, let’s just wait .”

Ji Heng also cares about chaos, and after thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, so he took this matter to heart.

Uncle Xu's two concubines stayed in the capital, and the eleventh lady, the thirteenth lady and the fifteenth lady did not go back to the south of the Yangtze River.

Eleventh Lady’s ex-fiance died because of falling into the water with a prostitute, which caused Eleventh Lady to be charged with Kefu. After that, she got married directly from the capital and never returned to Yangzhou.

Although they are all concubines, it is unreasonable to let the aunt preside over the marriage, but Uncle Xu doesn't know what he is busy with, but he doesn't care about the marriage of these two concubines, so he handed over the matter to Mrs. Xu to preside over the marriage. It's too late for Shi to take care of Ji Heng now, how can he care about the two concubine nieces, so it's only a few days before he went to Xu's house to have a look.

Mrs. Eleven's marriage also needs to be worried about by Mrs. Xu. Firstly, Mrs. Eleven is old, and secondly, she said she was married once, but her fiancé died and she didn't get married. There are widows, but the Eleventh Lady is powerful in front of the mistress of the Xu Mansion, Qin Shi, so Qin still loves her and asks her to come to the capital to renew her family relationship, but she doesn't want any particularly good family. Do whatever you like.

But Lady Eleven herself doesn't have much chance to see her, so she can't settle down.

Moreover, the Qin family knew that the eleventh lady and Ji Heng looked alike, and had a chance to meet the emperor before, seeing the emperor looked at the eleventh lady a few more times, Qin's mind was moved at that time, maybe the emperor was willing to accept the eleventh lady into the palace Woolen cloth.

As an eleventh lady, it is definitely not qualified to enter the palace to be a concubine.

But if the emperor really likes it, there is no obstacle at all. After all, so many favored concubines were just palace daughters at first.

However, Qin's idea was a good idea, but there was no chance to implement it afterwards. Therefore, the marriage of Eleven Lady did not progress at all when she was in the capital.

This coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Eleven Lady brought her two younger sisters to visit her aunt. Since Ji Heng lived in the main courtyard, the emperor had arranged many people in the main courtyard. Although there are no guards outside the Ji Mansion , but inside it is still led by Fu Yangfu to lead people to guard the safety of Jifu.

Now the quarter mansion has expanded to three times its previous size. The neighbors on the left and right have been moved away. The house was bought by the emperor and given to the Ji mansion. The house has not been greatly remodeled, but the courtyard wall that was originally separated has been demolished, and the left and right sides have been replaced by the moon. The gate was connected to the curved corridor, and because the project was not large, it was completed soon, and then Mrs. Xu moved to live in the new courtyard on the east side, and several aunts, the unmarried fifth sister, and Brother Ying all moved to the west side. New yard.

The east courtyard is named Youyouju, the west courtyard is named Weishuangju, and the one where Jiheng lives in the middle is directly called Zhongzhengyuan.

Although Xu moved to Youyouju, except for meeting guests, most of the time he still lived in Ji Heng's place to take care of him.

The Eleventh Lady came, and Mrs. Xu went to Youyouju to receive her. The Eleventh Lady brought a lot of gifts and said, "In Beijing, there are many aunts who take care of me. This Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of homesickness, and my parents are not around. Fortunately, my aunt was here, so my niece came to visit my aunt, first to visit my aunt, and my cousin who was sick, and second, my aunt was like a parent, and honoring my aunt is like honoring my parents."

Eleventh Lady saluted Mrs. Xu upright. Xu saw that Eleventh Lady had always been a very sensible girl, and she looked like Ji Heng. Naturally, she loved her and treated her a little unusually.

Xu said, "It's rare that you are so caring."

So eleven ladies and two younger sisters were left to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jifu.

Eleven Lady is not only beautiful, but also has good cooking skills, and has a lot of experience in making dim sum.

Not only sent the moon cakes that I made, but also made Sushan in Jifu.

The Su Shan she made is not an ordinary Su Shan. The surrounding area is cooled by ice chips, and the top is decorated like a beautiful garden. It is really very handy.

Because Ji Heng's stomach was not showing, it was no problem to meet his family, so that night, everyone gathered in the small garden of Youyoujuli to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The garden in Youyoujuli was originally there. After being bought by the emperor and given to the Jifu, it was simply carved by skilled craftsmen. Therefore, it is now a rockery next to the pool, and a pavilion under the rockery. Because the place is small, the pavilions are connected. It is a small two-story building. There are several osmanthus trees planted in the garden, and there is a large frame of wisteria flowers. The wisteria flowers are already falling leaves, and the osmanthus trees are still fragrant, and they are dotted with many famous products. Potted chrysanthemums, next to the wisteria flower stand, there are two plum trees by the pool, and there is a big swing next to the plum trees.

This garden is very compactly arranged, but because of the ingenious design, it has the feeling of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

The moon feast after dinner was held in this garden. The crispy mountain made by Eleven Lady was praised by everyone. Eleven Lady herself laughed happily and said, "It was because of this handicraft that my mother treated me differently." some."

Ji Heng sat on the side, not joking with the girls, Brother Ying sat next to Ji Heng, talking to him in a low voice.

What Brother Ying said was nothing more than what he learned, and what he saw when he was taken out by his father a few days ago. Ji Heng looked gentle and listened carefully, which encouraged Brother Ying even more. The desire to go on.

Sixth Yiniang said on the side, "The garden in Youyou Juli is good, but there is no garden in Weishuangjuli, if you want to enjoy the flowers, you have to come and bother your wife."

The sixth aunt plagiarized what the fourth aunt said, and she probably wanted to draw the fourth aunt to be her ally, but the fourth aunt ignored her and looked at Ji Heng a few more times. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, because Although Ji Heng looks pretty, she doesn't look like a girl, but the fact that Ji Heng is pregnant is not fake, and she also knows that Ji Heng is pregnant with the emperor's child. It is probably because Ji Heng is pregnant that the emperor pardoned Xian. The concubine's crime, Jifu also lifted the ban.

Fourth Yiniang finally had to think, maybe it was because Ji Heng was raised as a boy since he was a child, so he looked like a boy, but he was actually a girl.

Holding this shocking secret, she dared not tell anyone. Looking at the scenery of Youyou Juli at this time, she felt even more in a daze. Ji Heng had a dragon in his belly, and she didn't know where Ji's mansion would go in the future. Which step to go.

At first, no one paid any attention to Liu Yiniang's sour words, but Master Ji said later, "Lao Liu, don't say a few words."

Sixth Aunt had no choice but to shut up.

Because of Mr. Ji's words, Mrs. Xu said, "Since Sixth Aunt thinks this garden is good, then if you have the ability, come and live here."

Sixth Aunt did not dare to say anything.

Because of Liu Yiniang's words, the atmosphere of watching the moon became a bit tense.

Afterwards, crabs and chrysanthemum wine were brought from the kitchen, and the atmosphere became better.

Eleven Lady saw that Ji Heng didn't eat crabs, so she asked with a smile, "Why doesn't my cousin eat crabs?"

Xu said, "He has a very cold body, and these things are unacceptable."

It is also a joy for the family to sit together and watch the moon and chat. Ji Heng was talking to Mr. Ji when Du Ruo, the female officer who was sent to take care of Ji Heng, came over. After saluting everyone, she whispered a few words to Ji Heng.

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment and had to get up, saying, "Father, mother, my son has something to do, so let's leave for a while."

Mrs. Ji had no choice but to watch him leave, Xu sighed in her heart, knowing that the emperor should be here again.

The emperor didn't even wait in the Zhongzheng courtyard, and walked to the gate of Youyouju's courtyard to pick up Ji Heng.

When Ji Heng passed by, he took his hand with a slight smile and said, "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I told you that it will be like this every year in the future, and today I will fulfill the promise."

Ji Heng glanced at him weakly, wondering who asked him to perform the contract, and said, "If the two of you feel lonely, let's go to the garden and sit with mother and the others, it will be much more lively."

The emperor said, "No need, I just want to sit and watch the moon with you like this. It's a pleasure. What's the point of letting others disturb you."

The two returned to Ji Heng's residence, the emperor had made arrangements, and said to Ji Heng, "We have time to go out of the city and go to the imperial palace, Junqing, what do you think?"

Ji Heng said, "What are you doing so far away?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I think it's not good for you to be bored at home all day, so let's go out to relieve your boredom. Besides, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, it is convenient for the capital to not close the city gate."

Ji Heng looked up at the rising moon, and nodded after thinking about it, "Okay."

The emperor happily asked Ji Heng to tidy up Ji Heng's clothes. Ji Heng put on another thick cloak and was dragged out of the yard by the emperor. Ji Heng wanted to go and say something to Xu in person, but the emperor said, "Don't worry, Zhen Just let someone say it."

Sitting in the carriage, there are plainclothes guards all around, and there are also plainclothes in the front and back. Although the emperor said that he went directly to the Royal Garden Palace outside the city, the carriage came from the bustling street in the middle of Beijing. Go around in circles.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion, there are still many people on the street. The emperor lifted the curtains of the car and pulled Ji Heng to enjoy the street scene. Seeing that he was very interested, Ji Heng couldn't help but think of the first time he accompanied the emperor in a carriage many years ago. Looking at the street scene, the emperor was like an ignorant child who didn't understand anything and was interested, and then he was in a trance again.

The carriage passed a stone bridge, and seeing the rushing water under the bridge, I couldn't help feeling like the dead.

Then he thought of Xu's saying "the older a person is, the more he likes children", Ji Heng thought, is it because the older he is, the more he knows the cycle of life.

He looked down at his stomach, what will happen to this child in the future.

For the first time, he paid attention to him, thinking about what he would look like, whether he would inherit more from the emperor or be more of himself.
