royal princess

Chapter 197
But this was just a previous thought, now watching Concubine Xi making hot tea with an ignorant face, she didn't realize that the emperor doesn't like hot tea, she's so stupid.Seeing that the emperor clearly didn't like to build fragrant cherries, but it was concubine Xi who handed them over, and swallowed one without changing his face, she couldn't help but think, it's not that concubine Xi is too stupid, but the emperor let it out Bar?
Don't like to drink tea, don't like to eat candied fruit, don't say "no", even if you don't even make a face, there is no dislike in it, it's strange that Concubine Xi can see it.

After listening to Si Jin's words, Xiao Qi was silent for a while, but said slowly: "What Concubine Ai said is that the Empress Dowager is good, you have to learn from it."

"The concubine knows that Aunt Shi taught her a lot of things today." Si Jin smiled with a silly and sweet face, as if Aunt Shi taught her all good things.

Looking at Si Jin's expression, Xiao Qi could guess that Si Jin was being embarrassed, and it was not an ordinary embarrassment.But he didn't suffer, and seemed to have the upper hand. He went to take a nap without seeing the queen mother. He must have been so angry that he didn't even want to look at Si Jin anymore.The originally worried heart is now firmly put back, but Xiao Qi is also a little curious, a clever person like Concubine Mei was punished yesterday, why is there nothing wrong with Si Jin today?

With a lot of doubts, after confirming that Si Jin would be fine, Xiao Qi had no use for lunch, and hurried back to Chongming Palace.Before leaving, he looked at Si Jin in front of Aunt Shi and said, "Don't worry about Jin'er, I asked Guan Chang'an to take it to the side hall of Chongming Hall, where you can serve the Empress Dowager well."

Si Jin was overjoyed, Xiao Qi was clearly pointing to Aunt Shi, the Queen Mother pressured Si Jin to take care of the sick, so he took his son with him to raise him himself.The prince raised by the emperor is also the eldest son of the emperor, so the weight is different.Xiao Qi didn't mention the words to tell Si Jin not to serve her, but she turned a corner and threatened people.

This man is bad.

Continuing to maintain a silly and sweet appearance, Si Jin waved a small handkerchief, and sent Xiao Qi away with a sweet smile that was tiresome.Turning around and walking back, looking at Aunt Shi, she asked with a smile: "Auntie, I don't know what kind of tea and snacks the Empress Dowager likes to drink in the afternoon, I will prepare it for you first. I am clumsy, don't come It is a great sin to make your mother hungry and thirsty when you are tired." After speaking, he looked at Aunt Shi with a bright smile and a face full of anticipation.

Faced with such a face, Aunt Shi felt unable to tell whether Concubine Xi was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, even with all kinds of magic weapons in hand.In the afternoon, she still wanted to torment the empress, but Aunt Shi would not give Concubine Xi this chance, so she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's rest first, and wait for the Empress Dowager to wake up and give her orders."

"How can I do that? The empress dowager is sick and bedridden. Since I am here to serve the sick, I can't sneak around. Naturally, I have to be filial to the empress dowager with a sincere heart. Don't worry, my aunt. Although I am stupid, hard work can make up for it."

Aunt Shi: ...

The Queen Mother was not really asleep, but she really didn't want to see Concubine Xi's face.At this time, through a curtain, listening to Concubine Xi's words, I immediately felt a very headache.This concubine Xi is simply not allowed to enter, no matter what you say, people can explain it to the road of Kangzhuang.She obviously dug a hole for her, and she not only jumped down by herself, but also dragged you to jump together. When you meet such a person, even if you are as smart as the queen mother, you will feel a little headache for a while.

This feeling of not being able to grasp the vital points of the enemy at all is really terrible.

Although the emperor was not born to the empress dowager, after all these years of raising him, the empress dowager is still clear about his temperament.Now thinking about how the emperor likes Concubine Xi so much, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Concubine Xi's simple, straightforward, almost rough temperament.

If this is the case, the queen mother squints her eyes, she can only start from this aspect, she can't watch Lingyi's side make no progress, and even the emperor can't get close.

On this day of illness, Si Jin returned to the Heyi Hall without being too tired.After going back, Xiao Qi hadn't come back yet, Si Jin hugged her son and played with him, the child's big eyes were fixed on his mother.Si Jin's heart suddenly softened when she saw this look in her eyes.Although her son probably didn't know what a real mother meant, it was true that he was close to her, it was true that he was happy to see her, and it was true that he waved his little arms for her to hug.

The child who was less than three months old couldn't even straighten his neck, so Si Jin hugged him horizontally, shaking him, and Yu Qin opened his mouth happily, liking this kind of small Feifei very much.

When Xiao Qi came back, he saw Si Jin playing Feifei with his son in his arms. There were smiles on their faces, even with him.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Si Jin asked as she watched Xiao Qi walk in, it was the first hour of the year.

Xiao Qi went behind the screen to change his clothes, Si Jin had already put away the clothes for him, through the screen he heard Xiao Qi's voice, "It's not peaceful in the south, I'm going to send troops to fight the bandits."

Si Jin was dumbfounded when she heard the words, bandit?
"Bandits?" Si Jin asked casually, such creatures as bandits are not uncommon. After being fought for a while, they reappeared after a while, requiring local armed forces to sweep them out from time to time.But such a bandit would not let Xiao Qi send troops to encircle and suppress them.

"It's a sea bandit." Xiao Qi changed his clothes and came out, and took his son over without any hassle.

Si Jin gave the child to Xiao Qi, but her arms felt sore. After holding the kid for a while, she didn't feel it, but now that she stopped holding her, her arms felt sore.

"Where did the sea bandits come from?" Si Jin frowned, not paying much attention to this matter. Since there were such things as sea bandits, there were creatures like Japanese pirates, which were not uncommon in Chinese history.

"Don't worry, it's just a small group of rioters." Xiao Qi was afraid that Si Jin would be worried, so he kept the matter simple, as if it wasn't a big deal.

Listening to Xiao Qi's tone, she knew it was not a big deal, so Si Jin didn't take it seriously, and just said casually, "The border defense is too bad, the pirates are all born on the island, Dayu should expand the border defense line." Go to the island, set up guards, relocate the people, and re-register the household registration, resettle the overseas refugees, and the people will be safe at sea." Thinking of the era when Japanese pirates ran amok, Si Jin couldn't help sighing , how many good people were forced to become pirates and informants of Japanese pirates.If these refugees can be resettled back, I don't know how much trouble will be saved.

Si Jin just sighed casually. After all, there have been such accidents in history, it is inevitable to sigh from the perspective of God.But when Xiao Qi heard it, it was completely different. After thinking about Si Jin's exclamation carefully, I really felt that such a thing is feasible, so I smiled and said to her: "Don't say it, it seems that it really works when you say it like this." , but we will not be able to make a conclusion until the officials of the imperial court arrive and carry out specific inspections.”

It’s just talking on paper, Si Jin knew it, so she nodded, “What you said makes sense.” She really didn’t take this matter to heart, there are no such creatures as Japanese pirates in this time and space, and the so-called pirates are probably all from Dayu people.As for how it became a bandit trouble, the officials sent by Xiao Qi need to carefully understand it.

Seeing Yu Jin blinking his eyes and looking drowsy, but still determined to keep them open, Xiao Qi lowered his head and kissed his son's cheek, stood up and slowed down in the room to coax him to sleep.Si Jin was sitting on the big couch, holding a cup and sipping lightly, looking sideways at the father and son. In ancient times, people preferred to have grandchildren but not sons, because they were afraid of spoiling their sons.

But ever since Yu Jin was born, Si Jin never saw Xiao Qi having such a taboo, never seeing him not hugging his son.But now she is very proficient at changing diapers, which is also due to Si Jin's living habits.Even if the son has dozens of attendants by himself, the nanny has two on duty, and there are spares waiting.But things about her son are basically done by herself. She has always believed that the relationship between mother and son is also slowly cultivated.She didn't want to think that because her son was born in the royal family, he had to develop a standard prince habit. Without family affection, only power, it would be better not to have children.

After coaxing his son well, Xiao Qi was reluctant to put him to sleep in the side hall next door, so he simply put his son on the big bed between them.It was not unusual for Si Jin, this was not the first time, she just asked Yun Shang to come in and tell the nanny.

After sending the son to sleep, the two went to finish their meal.

Si Jin really didn't eat well that day, she basically didn't eat much in Shoukang Palace, even she just sipped water and didn't dare to drink it, who knows if the Empress Dowager will give her some food in a heartless manner.She is not a master of palace fighting, so she can only use this relatively primitive method to defend herself, be hungry.

Seeing Si Jin's eating speed, Xiao Qi brought her some food, "Didn't you eat well today?"

Si Jin didn't hide anything from him, and said bluntly: "I didn't dare to eat anything in Shoukang Palace. Although I have a little stomach, I may be a villain with a villain's heart, but I dare not take risks." Qi smiled, showing his small white teeth, "I'm afraid there are not many people in this palace who wish me a long life, so I can only be careful everywhere."

These words were really bitter, Si Jin didn't expect to play the emotional card, but seeing Xiao Qi's expression of aggrieved her, she still felt that Xiao Qi looked cold, but actually had a lot of emotion in his heart.The premise is that you have to walk into his heart first and win his love.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Qi picked up a crab roe steamed bun for Si Jin.

Shouldn't she be accused of having a small belly?
Si Jin blinked, and happily accepted the steamed buns. After eating them in two or three bites, Xiao Qi said again, "I know you are unhappy, and you will gradually get better in the future. This time, I intend to let you Your brother is the vanguard. When he comes back, he can get another official position outside Xiaolongwei."

The spoon in Si Jin's hand almost fell back into the bowl in fright, "Let my brother be the vanguard? Is that okay? He has never beaten Zhang before. Don't use it as a stepping stone, why don't you let him go. "This is the only seedling of their old Su family.
