Tianhuang nobleman

The incident in Thirty Nights was quickly suppressed by the emperor, and the favored maid was given to Qi Hua by Empress Feng. She had both fame and dignity. The emperor also specially called the second prince to Qianqing Palace to persuade him Fan, admiring some playthings, no matter what, on the surface it seems that all four corners are complete, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But in private, because of the stagnation of qi in the chest, the emperor even took several pairs of decoctions to open the chest and smooth the qi. Empress Feng recuperates in peace of mind and does not allow people in the palace to worry about Empress Feng. The year has not yet passed, and the Fenghua Palace has become as quiet as the Leng Palace. As for the second prince Qi Hua, I don't know if the emperor forgot or what. The matter of Qi Hua's entry into the court in the next year, which had been there, disappeared with the splendid fireworks in the imperial city in the next year.

Some people are unlucky and others are happy. Princess Dunsu has encountered good things repeatedly recently, and she will be happy from ear to ear for a whole year.

"You frightened his mother when you praised Zichen like this." The eldest princess Dunsu looked at Qi Xiao with a smile, "I was just promoted to editor a few years ago, and now I have promoted him to be an editor of the Imperial Academy. His mother Then came to me after the paperwork and asked me how to repay your great kindness."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "It's not all because of me. He Zichen has been able to do it himself. He has been diligent and diligent in the past two years in the Imperial Academy. He often told me that he was very good. Xu Hanlin retired after the Chinese New Year this year, and there was such a vacant seat. When I mentioned it, they pushed He Zichen to the top. Those who don’t follow that set have no real talent and learning, even if I come forward, it’s useless.”

Princess Dunsu smiled: "What do you mean, so many editors, all of them are idiots? There must be a reason why I picked him alone. I told his mother that you don't need anything. You don't need them." How about it, as long as you think about your kindness."

Qi Xiao shook his head and smiled: "That's exactly what I said, just wait until after the big wedding in the future, treat the Princess well, and it will be considered as repayment."

Princess Dunsu pressed her hair on her temples and chuckled: "You don't need to say that although my sister-in-law has never met Roujia, she has already regarded her as a lucky star. She and Zichen are both people who know how to repay their kindness. You can rest assured."

Qi Xiao chuckled in his heart, he didn't have anything to worry about, even if he planned for He Zichen, it was only for Bairen, Bairen could even give himself his own body for Roujia, but the two brothers and sisters love each other deeply, If it wasn't arranged for Roujia, wouldn't it be Bai Ren who would worry about it every day.

"What's more..." Qi Xiao subconsciously wanted to play with the jade pendant around his waist, and after touching it for a while, he smiled, and then said, "And how is the house given by the emperor doing now? It's getting better and better every year Now that it’s warm, flowers, trees, fish and birds can all be prepared, if money is not enough..."

Princess Dunsu interrupted with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, my sister-in-law is not without a fortune, and she has saved a lot of things for Zichen over the years, but it's not enough. Anyway, I still have me, you Just don't worry, the big wedding in the future will definitely be successful, but there is one thing..."

Princess Dunsu looked at Qi Xiao seriously and said: "I have seen the mansion given by the emperor, the mansion that comes out and enters five times, according to me, it is a bit extravagant, and there will only be three in the mansion after Roujia passes the door." Master, how can we use such a big yard? So I told my sister-in-law that I only tidy up a few main rooms in a delicate and delicate manner, and leave the back ones empty first, and just order people to clean them. The servants don’t need to buy a lot, as long as they have enough, the title of Princess Roujiana is just a vain salary, and there is no food, and Zichen’s salary is also limited. It is too difficult to support such a large mansion. You have a son, but what about in the future? Is it possible that they often have to rely on other people’s money to live? Zichen’s face is not good, or is he sitting on a mountain? That’s even worse, I said that, Zichen’s mother told me Why isn't that the case, she and Zichen also have the same idea, but I'm afraid that Roujia will be wronged, so I will make the decision for them, so it's feasible?"

Qi Xiao paused and nodded: "Very well, I'll go back and tell Bai Ren about this, I think he can understand."

Princess Dunsu nodded with a smile: "He is a sensible person, and he should be able to figure it out. I told Zichen later that the child quickly said that he would not dare to accept other people's money after he got married. He must be motivated and do errands well." , take good care of the family property and support it.”

Qi Xiao smiled: "That's very good."

"The one here should be me, so you don't need to worry about it." Princess Dunsu took a sip of tea and smiled, "This year's good things happened one after another. Since that happened on the [-]th day, I have I can eat well and sleep well, and I don’t feel tired after working for Zichen and the others these days, I always feel so happy in my heart and feel comfortable in my body.”

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, Princess Dunsu pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "I went to the palace yesterday and took a look at Empress Feng by the way, alas... Poor, she seems to be ten years old all of a sudden, fine The anger is gone. I heard that she has a bad temper now. If she is not good, she will vent her anger on the maids in her palace. I didn't stay long. I came out after sitting for a while. I heard that the emperor is not in a good mood recently. ?”

Qi Xiao laughed mockingly: "The rumors haven't dissipated, so of course he won't recover. Yesterday, Fu Hailu ordered people to find a good cook outside the palace, hehe...he couldn't eat by himself, so why blame the imperial cook? If Tang Seng's meat is eaten, he probably won't be able to eat it."

Princess Dunsu felt relieved, and she dragged Qi Xiao to talk about the family affairs for half a day, but as it was getting late, she forced Qi Xiao to have dinner before letting him go back to the Prince's Mansion.

Although it will be the first month of the lunar year soon, it is still very cold in Beijing, Qi Xiao put his hands on the stove and put on a big cloak and got out of the carriage, turned his head and asked the servants who came up to him: "Your Majesty, can I have dinner?"

The man shook his head: "What, I'm still waiting for Your Highness."

Qi Xiao frowned, and walked all the way into the bedroom, Bai Ren was practicing calligraphy in the Nuan Pavilion, when he saw Qi Xiao coming, he put down his pen and said, "Why did the prince come back so soon?"

"It's time, and you're starving if I haven't come back?" Qi Xiao hurriedly ordered someone to pass on the meal, then turned to look at the maid in the room and said coldly, "The son didn't pass on the meal, so you just watched him starve ? Are they all dead?!"

The maid hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, Bai Ren smiled and said: "Don't wrong them, they have advised me since Youshi, because I am not very hungry, and I just wanted to write a few words to calm down, so I simply ate a little later."

"It's been a while?" Qi Xiao frowned and waved his hands, "Get up, this time the son is just begging for mercy from you, and next time he will be beaten to death directly, and ordering you to wait in the room is for you to stand around stupidly for fun? "

Bai Ren smiled bitterly, and said repeatedly: "Forget it, the year hasn't passed yet, why bother talking about this, you probably already ate it, use some more with me, okay?"

Qi Xiao naturally agreed, and during the meal, he told Bai Ren what he had said to Princess Dunsu in the princess mansion in the afternoon, and Bai Ren nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, Rou Jia is not that swindler. People, it's okay to live a little poorer, I only valued He Zichen's character, their husband and wife are harmonious, and life will always get better and better."

Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing, Bai Ren smiled: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"

Qi Xiao put a lotus root clip on Bai Ren, shook his head and smiled, "No, I just think you look like a little brother-in-law now."

Bai Ren chuckled, lowered his head and took a bite of the lotus root clip. Qi Xiao was just sitting here for the occasion, he just moved his chopsticks a little, and the rest was just picking up food for Bai Ren, and said softly: "Rou Jia is set You came from Lingnan after the marriage, so you must have brought the dowry too, but... your side concubine is very skilled, I guess the dowry may not be what you want, my treasury..."

"Your Highness..." Bai Ren interrupted Qi Xiao, paused, "Your Highness knows how much I have in my treasury, it's enough to add makeup to Rou Jia."

"If you can't sell it, you can't take it. You can only give it away." Bai Ren smiled slyly, "And these things are all for the King of Lingnan, and they won't reach me if I keep them. Why not give them to Roujia? No matter how powerful the Xia family is, No matter how stingy my father is, when I check the accounts in the future...he can't go to my uncle's house to ask for the dowry, right?"

Qi Xiao laughed, nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Ren doesn't like to eat lotus root clips, he took a bite and put the rest in the bowl, avoiding it and eating the rice next to it, when Qi Xiao saw it, he picked up the bitten lotus root clips, and ate a few bites, Turning to the servant girl in the room, she said, "Your Majesty doesn't like this dish, so I don't need to serve it in the future."

The servant girl responded repeatedly and went to inform the people in the dining room. Bai Ren's face turned red instantly, but Qi Xiao didn't care much, and continued to chat and laugh with Bai Ren.

After the quarrel that time, Bairen found that Qi Xiao's temper has improved a lot, and he no longer intentionally choked with him, even if there was any disagreement, he would talk about it quietly first, and then slowly talk about himself It means that at the end, I will teach him why he is like this in detail, a good teacher and helpful friend, but that's all.

Of course it wasn't that Qi Xiao became a Buddha right away, this good temper is only towards him, towards others just like those maidservants just now, Qi Xiao is still the same as before, lowering his face and sweeping his eyes can scare people alive die.

And Qi Xiao also felt that Bai Ren had changed a bit, in front of him he no longer had the alienation and indifference before others, after letting go of that layer of guard, Bai Ren was as soft as a small animal, Qi Xiao listened to whatever he said, he was careful, I will remember to remind Qi Xiao of some small things, and always inadvertently show that stupidity, like this blankly waiting for Qi Xiao to come back to have a meal together, it is a trivial matter, but it is the most heart-warming, his nature is pure and kind, Under Qi Xiao's persuasive temptation, she would occasionally act coquettishly unconsciously, which is simply pitiful and cute.

After having dinner together sweetly, it is already Haishi time, afraid that Bairen will accumulate food at night, Qi Xiao smiled and said: "Wear warm and go for a walk? Laying down now may hurt the stomach."

Bai Ren nodded, and when Jiang Deqing was about to change his clothes, Jiang Deqing came in outside, bowed and said: "Prince please be safe, Shizi be safe, the palace has just received a letter from Lingnan, saying... that the princess has left ten days ago, If nothing goes wrong, we will arrive at the imperial city within five days."

Qi Xiao frowned when he saw Jiang Deqing's uneasy expression, "What else is there?"

Jiang Deqing laughed dryly: "Also... the second son of Lingnan King, Dongling Wenyu, and Princess Kangtai are also with him."
