The days passed by in an ordinary way, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this month, Jiang Jin stayed in Lihua Village with Mu Jiaojiao to collect herbs and make medicine. Occasionally, the couple went to check on the planting and growth of peppers and flowers.

What the villagers of Lihua Village discussed for a long time during this month was naturally the incident in which Widow Li colluded with bandits and was finally caught and beheaded by the officials and the bandits. The sisters-in-law and aunts in the village all lamented that Li Ruhua was a jinx.

Mu Jiaojiao also listened to a few words of Jiang Jin teaching Jiang Mingzhao how to analyze the court situation.

It is said that at present, in the court of Dayu, Prince De and his party have been hit by the private mining incident and have temporarily fallen silent.

Prince Qi's faction is quite successful and in the limelight, but Prince Qi's mother's family is not that prominent. He, the current Prince De, and the eighth prince Jiang Yi, who was born to the favored Concubine Xian, form a three-way balance of power.

The eighth prince is only fifteen years old and has not yet been crowned king. The princes of Dayu are all crowned kings when they are sixteen years old.

Jiang Jin also talked about the replacement of officials in the Yudu court, and specifically mentioned He Ziyuan, the former Minister of Works and now the Minister of Works.

Although Jiang Jin said that He Ziyuan was now the eighth prince's man on the surface, Mu Jiaojiao thought that he was most likely her man's man.

Probably a guy who sings Mission Impossible among several factions.

These court affairs and twists and turns seemed to have no impact on Mu Jiaojiao's family in Lihua Village far away in Cangzhou.

After breakfast on the first day of the winter month, Mu Jiaojiao was busy in the kitchen, making a cake.

Today is Jiang Mingzhao's birthday. After today he will be six years old. In Zhao's words, he will be a six-year-old adult!

Jiang Mingzhao was extremely excited when he knew in the morning that his mother was going to make him a birthday cake. Although it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his excitement, a smile would appear on his serious little face from time to time.

"Mom, what are you drawing?"

Jiang Mingzhao stayed in the kitchen, watching Mu Jiaojiao make a cake, put some apple pieces in it, and then painted on the finished cake with chocolate. He was excited and curious.

Can you draw on cakes?

He thought, Mom is so awesome!

"Haha! You'll know in a moment."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Zai'er, who was well-behaved but had become a little naughty in recent days, and raised her eyebrows. She kept him in suspense and didn't tell him.

"hey-hey!"

When Jiang Mingzhao heard his mother say this, he smiled at her and then looked at her movements with eager eyes.

Zhao Jianjia, who was helping to prepare the dishes, saw that her master did not tell Young Master Zhao what to draw, which made Young Master Zhao stare at her without blinking, and she laughed silently.

Her mistress is sometimes lazy and sometimes very naughty. She likes to make the two little boys laugh until they are at a loss and then look at her eagerly.

"Alright! It's done!"

Maybe after a cup of tea, Mu Jiaojiao put down the chocolate in her hand, and Jiang Mingzhao noticed that there was a little man painted on the cake. It was strange, a little cute, and a little familiar.

There are four words next to the little man: Happy Birthday

"Ah! Why does this little guy look so much like Young Master Zhao?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianjia put down the ingredients in her hand, stood up, and saw the little man with his hands on his hips on the almost eight-inch cake made by Mu Jiaojiao, and exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Mingzhao didn't notice it at first, but now that Zhao Jianjia reminded him, he took a closer look and realized that she did look a bit like him! No wonder she looked so familiar.

But this little guy was very different from the usual ones he saw. He was very cute and chubby. He couldn't describe it.

"Hahaha...Jianjia has good taste, this is a cute version of Zhao Zaizi!"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard what Zhao Jianjia said, she couldn't help laughing happily. This was the cute Q version of Jiang Mingzhao, with his hands on his hips and a puffed-up face, which was particularly cute.

This was a painting she drew, and she was very satisfied with it. Then she couldn't help but show off to her son.

"Zhaozi, do you like it?"

"Mom, I like it~"

When Jiang Mingzhao heard his mother's question, he looked at the chubby little man with his hands on his hips and thought to himself that this was nothing like him. How could he be so fat?

Then his face turned red again and he said shyly that he liked it. He thought that his mother made it for him and he couldn't make her sad.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard her child say that he liked it, she packed the cake contentedly and then rubbed Jiang Mingzhao's little head.

"Son, after dinner we'll have cake."

"Yeah, okay~"

Jiang Mingzhao was not annoyed when his mother messed up his neatly combed hair. His eyes were shining with love for Mu Jiaojiao.

Afterwards, Mu Jiaojiao and her son and Zhao Jianjia prepared dinner together. Mu Jiaojiao was going to give everyone a new treat: barbecue.

Zhao Xiangyi had ordered the grill a few days ago, and now he was washing it in the yard.

Since it's a barbecue, it must be lively with a lot of people. Wushuang has been sent by Mu Jiaojiao to Xizhen to invite Meng He, Liu Nian and Jin Baoer, the young master.

In the evening, guests came one after another. In fact, they could not be considered guests. These people were more or less familiar with Mu Jiaojiao.

When everyone came this time, Mu Jiaojiao did not wear a fake birthmark. Since she decided to restore her appearance, she no longer hid it.

Meng He and Liu Nian came together, and both brought small gifts for Jiang Mingzhao's two children, which made the two children very happy.

I haven't seen Liu Nian for nearly a month, and he has become much thinner.

During this period, Meng He was giving him acupuncture treatment and he got medicine directly from Tongji Pharmacy. Liu Nian did not come to Lihua Village because he was seriously preparing for his fate in March next year.

Then Jin Baoer came over with Yu Danping, and brought a box of toys, including rattles, fans, and even a few shadow puppet figurines, all for the two children.

"My dear lady Jiaojiao, you finally remembered Baoer~"

After Jin Baoer distributed the things to the two children, she secretly approached Mu Jiaojiao who was drinking tea at the table. She used the familiar formula again, saying something in a roundabout way, which made people think that they were having an affair. People who were not familiar with her would think that they were having an affair!

"My dear, your face is really as beautiful as Baoer imagined. You deceived Baoer so hard back then!"

When Jin Baoer said how painful it was to deceive him, she pretended to cover her chest with her hands, her face full of grief.

"Young Master Jin, please respect yourself. This is Jin's wife. I know that Young Master Jin is in dire need of a wife, but you can't just call someone else's wife casually, Young Master, right?"

Seeing that there were more people around, Jiang Jin threw Jiang Mingxiao, who was at his feet, into Meng He's arms with one hand, then walked up to Mu Jiaojiao and started to mock the young master Jin Baoer.

"Brother Danping, do you think Miss Jiaojiao's husband is just as good-looking as I told you? Not only is he a pretty boy, he's also stingy!"

Jin Baoer and Jiang Jin have always been at odds with each other, and everyone is used to it. The only thing is that the young master was so shameless as to seek justice from Yu Danping, who didn't know much about the situation.

"Uh... Bao'er, regarding this matter... you really shouldn't call the master so intimately!"

Yu Danping looked at Prince Jin's expression, then looked at Jin Baoer beside him. He spoke to Jin Baoer hesitantly with some embarrassment.

Jin Baoer: “…………”

Brother Danping is no longer on my side?

"Ah!"

When Jiang Jin heard Yu Danping say this, he gave Yu Danping an appreciative look, then snorted disdainfully at Young Master Jin.
