I was a salted fish in ancient times

Xiao Shan has a thick skin and strong self-control, the embarrassment only floats in his heart but does not appear on his face.In contrast, Xie Zhui's expression was a little stiff, but fortunately, he always had a cold look, and no one deliberately looked at his face for differences.

Xiao Shan stepped forward to take the child, weighed it, and said, "It's obviously very naughty, so it didn't bother father."

"He's very well-behaved, so he won't make trouble." Xie Sui said, but when he glanced at Yin Jin beside him, a smile flashed in his eyes: "It's fate with him, so I won't let him go."

Xie Sui really wanted to laugh out loud when he thought of the man's frozen state when the child grabbed his hair.

Yin Jin usually puts on a cold look and concentrates on researching poisons and antidotes, but now he is being controlled by a child.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he didn't want to touch Xiao Mingyu, but this child insisted on leaning on him.

He kept crying, and in the end Yin Jin had no choice but to support him with both hands and let him pull his hair.

Yin Jin glared at Xie Sui when he heard Xie Sui's words, then got up and left, the child in Xiao Shan's arms looked at his back and opened his mouth to scream, drooling.Xiao Shan wiped his mouth with a thin towel, nodded his nose and said, "Little dirty."

Naturally, the child couldn't understand Xiao Shan's words, he played and pedaled for a while, and then fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Xiao Shan talked with Xie Sui, and then took the child back.

Xie Zhui actually wanted to stay, because Xie Sui was going to take a medicinal bath today.It's just that he also understands that Xie Sui doesn't want him to stay. Taking a medicinal bath is a very painful thing. When he can't bear it, his hissing sound is like a dying beast, and he is very embarrassed.

Xie Sui didn't want him to see him lose his mind, so Xie Zhui hesitated and left with Xiao Shan.

Back in the room, Xiao Shan handed the child to Xie Zhui and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the feast will be over in a while. Father is right in front of our eyes. We will visit him after he has healed."

Xie Zhui diverted his attention because the child was in his arms, he said: "I just feel bad for him."

Xiao Shan: "It will be fine."

Xie Zhui responded softly.

Xiao Shan didn't say anything else to comfort him, he just rubbed Xie Zhui's head and told him silently that he was always there.

***

The time when they had children was very noisy, Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui were both peed on and pulled by their children.

If it was someone else's child, Xiao Shan would definitely dislike it, but he didn't feel this way at all when it was his own child.The most he did was nodding Mingming's head and saying "dirty dirty".

Time passed like this, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye, and the child will turn over.

Xiao Jin and Xie Chen sent letters respectively. Of course, Xiao Jin's letter was addressed to Xiao Shan, and Xie Chen's letter was addressed to Xie Zhui and Xie Sui.

Xie Chen was made an earl at the beginning, but now his eyesight is healed, he has entered the court, although his official position is not high, but he is highly valued by the emperor, and he will definitely be able to do something in the future.

In the letter, Xie Chen detailed what happened to him recently, and finally asked about Xie Sui's physical condition.

Xie Sui read the letter over and over again. He looked at Xie Zhui and said, "Let me write back and tell him that I am in good health." As soon as the words fell, he said again: "Forget it, I will write back to him myself. He I'm not young anymore, and my marriage has been delayed for several years because of my eyes, I have to ask him what's on his mind, so I can prepare myself."

Speaking of this, Xie Sui's tone was a little disappointed.

During the years when Xie Chen was blind, he was not around, Xie Zhui was always in the barracks, no one worried about marriage for Xie Chen.What's more, even if someone worried about it in that situation, Xie Chen would not be happy.

Now that he is back, Xie Zhui is married to Xiao Shan and lives happily and has children, while Xie Chen is still alone.

Xie Sui naturally wanted him to have a family, so it would be good to have someone by his side who understands him well.

But he also knew that Xie Chen's heart was sealed, maybe it was because he had suffered too much grievance and unspeakable suffering in those years when he was not around, Xie Chen didn't like being close to others at all.

He couldn't let Xie Zhui ask Xie Chen about this situation, so he had to do it himself as a father.

Xie Zhui heard what he said later, thought for a while and said, "Brother doesn't think about getting married at all." Xie Chen wrote to him these days, and he didn't mention this aspect at all.

He said this because he wanted Xie Sui to be more tactful. Xie Chen had just stepped out of the darkness, and the knot in his heart was not so easy to untie. As his younger brother, he also hoped that Xie Chen could live happily.

Xie Sui said: "I'll first find out what's in his heart."

Xie Zhui nodded, thinking that this is fine, everything should be done with Xie Chen's ideas.

As for Xiao Shan, the contents of Xiao Jinxin's letter are more straightforward.

He asked Xiao Shan if he would return to the capital this year. Although the emperor didn't say anything, he wanted to know Xiao Shan's thoughts in his heart, and the emperor wanted to see Mingming very much.

Xiao Shan directly replied that he would not return to Beijing for the New Year this year, mainly because the child is now grown up, will turn over, loves to move, and is curious about everything.

It's really inconvenient to take him all the way back to Beijing. When the child is older and can walk next year, they are going back.

After finishing writing, Xiao Shan went back and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If they had stayed in the capital, they would have faced such a choice today.

This year, they spent in the Yunnan Palace.

The family did not have such or such rules like in the palace, they did not invite people to sing, and the palace did not play songs and dances, but a group of people spent a year happily together.

Xie Sui and Yin Jin were both drunk.

Yin Jin usually doesn't like to talk, but when he was drunk, he chatted with Shi Yan, discussing various medical issues with him.

Shi Yan also got excited, one of them was sober and the other was drunk, but they talked very excitedly.

When Xie Sui was drunk, there was only a smile on his face, and he didn't say a word.

Xiao Shan felt that this was a unique skill practiced in the capital, because if someone in the capital said something wrong while drunk, he would commit a serious crime.Over time, people in the officialdom will not get drunk, and even if they are really drunk, they will not say a word.

Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui were still awake, seeing that everyone was full, they asked the servants to send them back to the room.

After everyone left, Chuntao and others came to clean up the tables and chairs.

Chuntao, Xiahe, Qiuju and Dongmei, apart from Xiahe, the other three are not from the capital.

Those people were not too young, and they did not follow them to Yunnan.

Before leaving, Xie Zhui arranged for them, and those who were willing to get married were given a dowry and married from Prince Li's mansion.

Those who have other places to stay will be given a sum of money that can take care of the rest of their lives. Those who have difficulties, such as Chuntao, the family is looking forward to her climbing high, and wants her to continue to be a maid, or an aunt of a dignified family.

Chuntao has a favorite person, who is the guard of the palace.

Xie Zhui made the decision, and the two married directly, staying in the capital to look after the yard.

As for Dongmei, she had no sweetheart or relatives, so she followed Xie to the Yunnan Palace.Anyway, she knew that Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui would definitely treat her kindly as long as she did not betray her.

When Xiao Shan and Xie chased him back, the child had already fallen asleep and carried him to the nanny's room.

Xiao Shan called for water, and took Xie Zhui to take a couple bath.

Xie Zhui also drank a lot of wine today, his cheeks were a little flushed, sitting in the large bathtub, steamed by the heat above, his eyes became more and more blurred.Xiao Shan looked at him like this, rolled his eyes and smiled, and then bullied him.

The two quarreled once in the water, and at the last moment, Xiao Shan got out of breath short of breath.

The two changed the tub and took a shower before lying back on the bed.

The room was very warm, Xie Zhui opened his eyes and looked at the beam, he was supposed to sleep, but no matter what he couldn't.

Xiao Shan raised his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zhui looked at him hesitantly, with a look that was difficult to speak.Seeing that he was not in a high mood, Xiao Shan felt a little upset.The two had just had an intimate exercise, and it turned out that Xie Zhui behaved like this. He had to doubt something, so he asked: "What's the matter, didn't we say it before, can't we keep our words in our hearts?"

Xie Zhui pursed his lips, and after a long silence, he whispered, "Why, these days... are all outside."

When he said the next few inaudible words, his cheeks were on fire, very hot.

Xiao Shan couldn't hear the last few words very clearly, but seeing Xie Zhui's expression, he understood what Xie Zhui meant.

He pulled the quilt over the heads of the two of them. In the darkness, he said bitterly: "You think I'm happy, but I'm not... I'm afraid that you will have children again. Although it can be avoided by drinking medicine, the medicine is three-point poisonous. I don't want you to drink too much."

Although there is a high risk outside the body, he is not sure about the chances of his little brother getting pregnant, so he has no choice but to use the most stupid method.

The scene where Xie Zhui gave birth really scared him.

He didn't have a strong pursuit of having children, he didn't care if he didn't have children, and now he was satisfied with Xiao Mingyu having a child.

Xie Zhui felt like his whole body was on fire when he heard these words. He only asked Xiao Shan when he saw that Xiao Shan endured hardship sometimes, but he never expected that Xiao Shan would have such an idea.

Xie Zhui tried his best to make himself ignore the embarrassment just now, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Does the lord intend to have only one child? He is a little brother, and the road he will walk in the future will be restricted. If there is no brother behind him to support him, I'm afraid that his future journey will become difficult."

Xiao Shandao: "I know that people in the world are more harsh on young brothers and women. Obviously, we will take care of the road and it will not be more difficult. I have also thought about this. In the future, when the second brother has a child, we will take him back to Beijing every year. Live for a while, let him develop relationships with people of the same age. Besides, there is also the eldest brother, we are obviously the ones who fell into the honey nest."

"What's more, if you can't give Mingming a younger brother, is it possible that you still want me to live with someone else?"

"Of course not." Xie Zhui said without thinking, "I've never thought about it like this before, and I can't tolerate having other people by your side. If there is such a day, I'm afraid I can't help but want to kill someone."

Xiao Shan laughed: "That's it, so don't think so much, just let things take their course."

Xie Zhui groped and grabbed Xiao Shan's hand in the dark: "Then you also let nature take its course."

Xiao Shan: "..." For whom is he not going with the flow? He is also working very hard and needs to make up for it, okay?

Later, Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui really let nature take its course. I don't know if God listened to Xiao Shan's wishes. They only have one child, Xiao Mingyu.

***

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Yunnan, the New Year in Beijing is just like before, full of majesty and solemnity.

Because there was no such active person as Xiao Shan, on the reunion night, the emperor ended the banquet shortly after giving food to the ministers.

Xie Chen, who had just entered the officialdom, was rewarded by the emperor.

Many people were jealous of him getting the Sacred Heart, but Xie Chen smiled wryly in his heart. He felt that the emperor didn't want to give him food at all, but maybe he thought of Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui who were thousands of miles away, so he reluctantly gave it to him. .

After the banquet was over, Xiao Jin called Xie Chen to stop, and they walked for a distance.

In terms of the relationship between Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui, Xie Chen was naturally on Xiao Jin's side, but Xiao Jin seldom had direct contact with him on weekdays, Xie Chen didn't understand what Xiao Jin was calling him to stop at this time.

The two walked a certain distance, seeing that Xiao Jin had no intention of opening his mouth at all, Xie Chen took the initiative to ask: "What orders does His Royal Highness have?"

Xiao Jin said: "No, Gu just thinks that the third brother and Xie Zhui are celebrating the New Year in Yunnan, and I feel a little bit emotional. I don't know how the child is, but I heard from the third brother's last letter that he can turn over."

Xie Chen said: "Yes, I received a letter from Wang Jun saying that the child is very naughty and always likes to grab people's hair. Now I can laugh, every time the prince hugs him, I am very happy..."

He said a few words and felt that he was a bit long-winded, and when he was about to stop talking, he suddenly saw Xiao Jin's face listening very seriously.

Xie Chen's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, Xiao Jin probably just wanted to hear him rambling on, right?He remembered that Xie Zhui said that Xiao Shan wrote letters to the capital very frequently.

Thinking of the fact that everyone said that Xiao Shan and Xiao Jin had a good relationship, Xie Chen sighed inwardly, then deliberately slowed down and continued talking.

Seeing that Xiao Jin showed no impatient expression, he was relieved.

Xie Chen was talking almost every time the two of them walked, and Xiao Jin echoed it from time to time.

Xie Chen didn't stop until he reached the gate of the palace.

Xiao Jin looked at the gate of the palace which was quite a distance away from the East Palace, without any embarrassment on his face, he said, "Gu sent you here."

Xie Chen thought to himself that you came here because you listened to the story so much that you forgot the time, why did you see me off.But on the surface, he had to be grateful and said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

When Xie Chen was about to leave the palace, the carriages of Xiao Rong and Gu Linglong also arrived.

Xiao Rong opened the curtain and saw Xiao Jin and Xie Chen, his brows and eyes flew a little impatiently, and he thought, the Xie family really stood behind Xiao Jin because of Xiao Shan's relationship.

Gu Linglong also saw the two of them, if Xiao Jin wasn't there, it would be better to say something to Xie Chen and Xiao Rong alone.Now that Xiao Jin was here, Gu Linglong kicked Xiao Rong's calf, seeing Xiao Rong motionless and wondering what he was thinking.

Xiao Rong turned to look at her, Gu Linglong supported her waist and prepared to get off the carriage to greet Xiao Jin.

Xiao Rong knew that she was very uncomfortable recently, and it was not easy to endure the banquet until this time, so he held her down and said: "You are not feeling well and stay there, I will have a word with the prince."

Then he got off the carriage and looked at Xiao Jin with a half smile and said: "The prince is sending someone out of the palace."

When Gu Linglong heard this, she wanted to roll her eyes. To be honest, if she was the crown prince, she would have to prepare a ledger for Xiao Rong in her heart, so that she could read it later.

Xiao Jin didn't care about Xiao Rong's sarcasm, he said: "The third brother is not here, so I will send Xie Qing out of the palace for him alone."

When Xiao Rong heard him mention Xiao Shan, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought, if he is not here, he will be here, there is nothing to worry about.He could remember that after Xiao Shan's child named Mingming was born, he didn't send anyone to Yunnan to give the full moon gift.It was the first time that Xiao Shan wrote to him asking for a gift, and he also specified that he wanted something valuable, which made him go to a gold shop to make a pure gold safety lock and send it to Yunnan in a hurry.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to leave these good things to his children?But Xiao Shan took a lot of good things out of his hands because of his thick skin.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xiao Jin said, "It's cold in the night, brother, go back quickly."

Xiao Rong didn't think about staying any longer, he got on the carriage and left after hearing this sentence.

After he left, Xie Chen resigned from the palace.

When Xie Chen got into the carriage, he accidentally saw the back of Xiao Jin walking back inside the palace gate, he sighed in his heart, this prince is a bit lonely.Perhaps this is fate, the person who wants to become an emperor is doomed to live alone.

The carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion drove a certain distance, Gu Linglong looked at Xiao Rong and said, "Are you still not convinced by the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Rong really wanted to jump up and ask her why he was convinced, but when he saw Gu Linglong's stomach, his desire to yell became weaker, and he hummed patiently, "I am the eldest son."

Gu Linglong sighed: "The concubine knows what the prince is thinking, but today when King Yong called his father the emperor when he attended the banquet, the concubine was very moved when she saw it."

Concubine Shu was abolished that night, Xiao Yi was adopted by Prince Yong's Mansion, and then the Gu family was demoted, Concubine Lan was demoted, and the Empress was reprimanded.

There are many rumors about these things in the capital. Some people say that Concubine Lan and the Gu family intend to rebel against the Crown Prince to get rid of him. Some people say that the previous rumors are all true.But if Concubine Lan really has a heart, how could the emperor grant Xiao Shan a land.

There must be some secret here, but those who know the truth use King Yong Xiao Yi and Crown Prince Xiao Jin to keep silent, no matter how the world guesses, no one knows the truth.

Xiao Rong can be regarded as a fool who has the blessing of being a fool, he was not implicated, he was still Prince Rui.

When Xiao Rong heard Gu Linglong mentioning Xiao Yi, he immediately blushed and said unwillingly, "Why did you mention him, I won't end up in this land."

Gu Linglong thought his voice was too loud, so she covered her stomach and hummed.

Xiao Rong immediately asked: "Is the child making trouble with you again, let's go back to the palace to find the imperial doctor."

Gu Linglong pulled his arm and said, "How can you be so hypocritical, hurry back to the palace."

Xiao Rong supported her and said: "Then you can rely on me, so you won't have to worry about it."

Gu Linglong hummed, leaned against him softly, and then said with a smile: "My lord's words just now are absolutely correct, your lord is wise and wise, he is Prince Rui personally appointed by the emperor, so naturally he won't be like Prince Yong. "

To beat Xiao Rong with a stick and to give a sweet date, Gu Linglong is getting more and more comfortable doing this kind of thing.

Xiao Rong immediately looked a little proud, he said: "Wangfei is right, as long as Xiao Shan's scourge is not there, father will value me a lot." He is now on duty in the Ministry of Punishment alone, so it feels so good.

Gu Linglong responded, thinking, if the emperor really wants to value you, he should let you move your ass from the Ministry of Punishment.

But this can't be said, she echoed Xiao Rong's voice, and then let his words go in one ear and out the other.

Life always has to go on, as long as she manages Xiao Rong well, life will not be too bad in the future.

Anyway, under the changes in the capital, even Xiao Yi stumbled in front of Xiao Shan and Xiao Jin, and her father also saw that Xiao Rong was not really suitable for being a prince, and his supportive thoughts faded.

That's right.
