Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Emperor Longde arranged the affairs of Linye very well, no new officials were appointed for the time being, and only Jiang Xi was left to govern.

After Xiao Jiu and Zhong Shuo settled everything, they packed up and were ready to return to Beijing.

When they came, they took a long detour to avoid the assassination arranged by Concubine Shen Gui. This matter happened in a hurry, but they could no longer leisurely go to Yangzhou, so the two chose the shortest way and went back as soon as possible.

Xiao Jiu bought a lot of local products and other things in advance, and there were more carriages than when he came, and a group of people traveled for half a month before returning to Beijing.

When returning to Beijing, it was natural to enter the palace first, but Emperor Longde only passed on Xiao Jiu, so Zhong Shuo had to go back to the Zhong Mansion first to meet Zhong Hanjiang and Mrs Yu.

After half a year's absence, Mrs. Yu missed her very much, and had passed family letters several times before, but after all, it was not as reassuring as seeing each other.

Mrs. Yu went all the way to welcome Zhong Shuo outside the gate, held Zhong Shuo's hand and looked left and right, eyes were red, and said: "I'm thinner and darker." Zhong Shuo smiled: "Naturally, the wind and sand in Linye are bigger , and often outside, but the son is in good health, so the mother need not worry."

Yu Shi smiled and said: "I don't know what happened to Diji, did you suffer from being outside with you?"

Zhong Shuo said: "Emperor Ji is fine, she has gone to the palace." After speaking, he and Zhong Hanjiang looked at each other, knowing each other.

Mrs. Yu didn't know what they were thinking, so she just dragged Zhong Shuo home. Before they left, they left while Zhong Ji and Zhong Chu were sleeping. When they woke up, they naturally cried a lot. They all missed Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu It's the same with Zhong Shuo even if he hasn't come back yet.

Zhong Shuo was arrested by Mrs. Yu to coax his younger siblings, while Xiao Jiu confronted Emperor Longde in the palace.

The emperor had just imprisoned Concubine Shen Gui, she was seriously ill, and now she can't sit still, she has to lean on a cushion.

Xiao Jiu slowly put away the tea in his hand, and said: "Father treats his son and minister very well, this tea is not available in Linye."

Emperor Longde didn't answer, just said: "If you like to have someone wrap it for you before you leave."

Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "This minister can't afford it. If the emperor has something to say, you might as well speak up. The son-in-law is still waiting for the son-in-law to leave the palace."

Emperor Longde panted, and said, "You and Zhong Shuo have a good relationship."

Xiao Jiu said indifferently: "I also ask my father to show me."

His attitude was firm, and Emperor Longde couldn't talk about anything else, so he could only say: "The military power of Linye is already in your hands, take it."

Xiao Jiu said: "Of course, I will be cautious about military power." It was rare that I didn't choke.

Emperor Longde felt relieved, and said earnestly: "Yongmu, there is one thing, my father wants you to remember that you are the eldest princess of Changhua, Emperor Yongmu, and in everything, first for the country and then for the family, Xiao Gong is you Brother, mention him more in everything."

For Emperor Longde, it is not a good thing that Xiao Jiu and Zhong Shuo have a close relationship. Xiao Jiu was already at odds with him, and the position of the Zhong family is awkward. Now that Xiao Jiu holds the military power, if he is more inclined to the Zhong family, then the royal family will naturally be You will suffer.

The Ninth Prince was Concubine Shen who had adopted someone else's child. He had announced the death of the Ninth Prince a few days earlier. Looking at the entire royal family at this time, only Xiao Gong could take on the big responsibility. Xiao Gong was benevolent, but Xiao Jiu was different from him. As the emperor concubine, holding the military power and regent will naturally not have the qualifications for rebellion. Xiao Jiu helps Xiao Gong, and he doesn't have to worry about the matter of being a dead dog. People of the royal family are born to eradicate dissidents.

It's just that Zhong Shuo made Emperor Longde dissatisfied, Xiao Jiu seemed to have his heart attached to him, regardless of public and private, and being towards her husband's family was the worst thing.

It's a pity that Xiao Jiu is not the prince, otherwise with his aptitude, the throne can be given.

Xiao Jiu put down the teacup, and said in a cold voice: "What does the emperor mean? I understand that the new Emperor Ji's Mansion has been built, right? I will move in tomorrow."

Emperor Longde nodded, and said: "It's rare for you to be sensible. You just need to know where I want to go. Let's go. Go to the Zhong Mansion today and talk to Zhong Shuo, and move into the new mansion. Stop messing around."

Xiao Jiu got up, saluted casually and left.

Behind him, Emperor Longde coughed a few times, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and drank slowly.

Xiao Jiu returned to the Zhong Mansion, not very happy.

Mrs. Yu had been looking forward to his return for a long time. Seeing him was even happier than seeing Zhong Shuo. Seeing that he hadn't lost weight or got tanned, she was relieved. Sitting with him and chatting about the affairs of Beijing, Xiao Jiu said "I didn't bring anything good for my mother from Linye. I just brought some local products and put them in the warehouse. Mother can go and have a look when she is free."

Yu said with a smile: "Emperor Ji has a heart, it's hard for you to go out and remember us, but you have worked hard and thought a lot."

Xiao Jiu said: "It's not a tiring thing, I should do these things, mother don't have to worry about it."

Yu said: "Emperor Ji is so virtuous, Shuo'er should feel sorry for her." She had seen Xiao Jiu frequently looking at the door, so she joked: "Di Ji misses Shuo'er, he should be here at this time." Xie Yuxuan, Diji doesn't need to accompany my old lady, go and see Shuo'er."

Xiao Jiu said: "Where, my mother is naturally beautiful, she is still very young, how old is she?"

Yu Shi laughed with him a few more words and let him go to Zhong Shuo.

An older brother is like a father, so Zhong Shuo is naturally coaxing the child.

Zhong Ji and Zhong Chu haven't seen him for more than half a year, and they miss him very much, but they miss Xiao Jiu more than Zhong Shuo.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xiao Jiu poured into them, thinking about his sister-in-law every day.

Fortunately, Zhong Ji was driven to Jiang's school again, only Zhong Chu was there.

Zhong Chu was quite happy to see Zhong Shuo at first, but when he saw that Xiao Jiu was nowhere to be seen, his eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall, and Zhong Shuo hurriedly coaxed him.

When Xiao Jiu entered the door, Zhong Chu was riding on Zhong Shuo's neck to pick freshly bloomed flowers in the yard, and there were still wet tears on his chubby little face.

He didn't disturb the brothers and sisters, just leaned against the arch and watched, seeing Zhong Chu and Zhong Shuo acting like a baby and wanting to wear flowers, Zhong Shuo smiled and took her off her neck and put a small pink flower in her soft hair , the air is fresh in April, but the scene in front of me looks like a painting.

Zhong Shuo seemed to love children very much.

The pine branches at the door concealed Xiao Jiu's figure, he watched it quietly for a long time before coming out, the eyes of the two people who were playing were brightened when they saw him.

Zhong Shuo hugged Zhong Chu to meet him, Xiao Jiu took Zhong Chu from his hand, weighed it, and said: "It's heavy, what delicious food did Chu Chu eat?" Zhong Chu smiled and said: "There are so many, yesterday The pea yellow Chuchu I ate left some for my sister-in-law, but it’s not too hot.” ​​The child’s words are always cute, Xiao Jiu freed up a hand to press the small pink flower on her head, and said: “Then I thank you in advance neat."

"Sister-in-law is polite." Zhong Chu crisply said.

Xiao Jiu was amused by Zhong Chu, and couldn't stop laughing at Zhong Shuo.

Zhong Shuo said: "Okay, let's go into the house, Chu Chu is happy to see sister-in-law?" Zhong Chu nodded repeatedly, Xiao Jiu carried her into the room with Zhong Shuo.

Zhong Chu became sleepy after a while, Xiao Jiu played with her for a while, and when she fell asleep, he sent someone to go back to Mrs Yu, then changed her clothes and loosened her hair.

Xiao Jiu leaned on Zhong Shuo's shoulder, twisted his neck, and said, "I'm exhausted today."

Zhong Shuo squeezed his shoulders for him, and asked, "What did His Majesty say today?"

Xiao Jiu touched his face, "He told me to stay away from you, and asked me to assist Xiao Gong well. There are just a few meanings, and they are almost the same."

Zhong Shuo didn't speak, Xiao Jiu continued, "It's just that I'm going to move to Diji's Mansion tomorrow, we can't live together anymore." Emperor Longde had already arranged to rebuild Diji's Mansion. When I came back, I happened to be able to live in it.

Emperor Longde didn't want the two of them to be tired of being together all day long, and thought that the relationship would be weaker if they were far away, so he hurriedly hinted that Xiao Jiu should be on guard against Zhong Shuo, Xiao Jiu followed the trend, and it was convenient for him to do things later, it was just the two of them It's going to be a while.

Zhong Shuo's subordinates didn't stop moving. He thought carefully and said, "Your Highness, I'm actually quite skilled."

"Ok?"

"When it is inconvenient for His Highness to summon the minister, the minister can climb over the wall and enter by himself."

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud, "Then I'll find someone to lower the courtyard wall so that you can come in easily?"

Zhong Shuo seriously refused: "No, it's not safe if the wall is lowered, and it's not good to let thieves in. No matter how high the wall is, ministers can get in."

Zhong Chu who was sleeping on the bed moved suddenly, Xiao Jiu sat up straight to look at her, Zhong Chu just turned over, and then fell asleep again, Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhong Shuo who was also sitting upright: "It's all right, turn over in a deep sleep."

Zhong Shuo stretched out his hands to trim Zhong Chu's hair, and sat back down again. Xiao Jiu said softly, "Do you really want to climb over the wall? Then I'll ask someone to leave a side door for you. You can just enter at night, Di Ji's Mansion It's not far from Zhongfu, and it's convenient to go back and forth, and my parents probably don't know about it on weekdays, so when I'm free, I'll visit you quietly, and you leave a door for me?"

Zhong Shuo said: "Then I told my parents to enclose half of Xie Yuxuan and turn it into a private courtyard, and then opened a small door to come out. If your Highness wants to come, just say so, and I will meet you."

Xiao Jiu put his arm around his waist and squeezed it, and said, "Okay."

Zhong Shuo's waist was a little itchy, so he struggled, Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand to hold him, and called out in a low voice, "Beining...", Zhong Shuo moved closer to him, but he didn't speak, but the two of them were getting closer and closer, so close that they couldn't breathe. I heard, these days I have been so busy on the road that I haven't stayed in one place well, and I finally have time, so I can't help myself.

It's just that when the lips and teeth of the two were about to touch, Zhong Chu suddenly made some movement again, this time he didn't turn over, but really woke up.

It's really inconvenient to have children around...

Xiao Jiu resigned himself to coaxing Zhong Chu, and handed him over to Xiwen to take him to the wing.

Returning to the house after busy work, the previous charming atmosphere was gone, Xiao Jiu sighed, Zhong Shuo said with a smile: "Let's change another day, I'm tired today, it's better to go to bed first."

Xiao Jiu agreed, but tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Zhong Shuo turned over to look at him in the dark, and said, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Would you like some soothing incense?"

Xiao Jiu hesitated, and said, "Beining, do you want to have a child?"

Zhong Shuo:? ? ?

"Does Your Highness want to adopt one?"

Xiao Jiu said: "It's my child. If you stay with me, you won't be able to have children in the future. If you want to take a concubine, I will break your legs."

Although he couldn't see it, Zhong Shuo still said seriously: "If Your Highness wants a child, you can adopt one. I am willing to raise that child with Your Highness, but I don't want it. Your Highness is enough for me."

Although Zhong Shuo likes children, he already likes Xiao Jiu and thinks that he wants to be with him forever, so he can't tolerate himself having children with other women, and he doesn't want to delay her life.

Xiao Jiu thought for a while, and said: "It's not like this, if there is a suitable child in the future, we will adopt it and raise it. We don't want children, and we will guard each other for the rest of our lives, okay?"

"it is good."
