Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 23 Relatives
On the soft sedan back to Chengqian Palace, Wen Xian took Tong Jiaxili's arm, leaned on Tong Jiaxili's body, and pestered Tong Jiaxili to tell stories.

"Sister. I like all your nice stories. Tell me more, okay?"

Wen Xian leaned on Tong Jia Xili's side, leaning on him to listen to the story.

Tong Jia Xili nodded, this time telling Wen Xian the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

After all, Wen Xian is just a girl of seven or eight years old.He was so fascinated by it that he leaned on Tong Jia Xili's arm, and fell asleep after a while.

Tong Jia Xili turned her body sideways, saw Wen Xian's round face, and couldn't help but smile.Pulling the cloak from the side, it covered Wen Xian's body.

Concubine De took her two children to the Compassionate Ning Palace very early today, no wonder they didn't have a good rest.

Two quarters of an hour later, the sedan chair stopped steadily at the gate of Chengqian Palace.

A court lady helped Tong Jia Xili open the curtain, and when she was about to speak, Tong Jia Xili made a silent gesture.

"Hush. Go and tell auntie that the princess is asleep."

It's rare to sleep well, and it's better not to wake up.

The little maid nodded.But after a while, Yinzhen and Yinzuo walked over together, looking out in front of the sedan chair.

"Sister is asleep?" Yin Zuo poked his head in, and sure enough, he saw Tong Jia Xili maintaining a stiff posture, while Wen Xian was leaning against Tong Jia Xili.

Tong Jia Xili nodded, pointed to Wen Xian, and motioned for them to call someone to carry Wen Xian back.

Tong Jia Xili squeezed her sleeves, and began to think about this relationship.

Her "parents-in-law", one is her aunt and the other is her cousin.

Calculating the relative relationship, she really took advantage of the right time, place and people.

Fortunately, although she and Yinzhen have the same great-grandfather, they are collateral blood relatives four generations away.

"Bam—"

Just as Tong Jia Xili was thinking, she only felt a black shadow flash past in front of her eyes, directly blocking her.

Naturally, Tong Jia Xili had no time to dodge, so she bumped into her.

"Hey!" The touch of the clothes came, and Tong Jia Xili moved back, only to realize that the person he bumped into was Yinzhen.

And Yinzhen was frowning, looking at Tong Jia Xili intently, and asked: "What's wrong with you? You almost hit the wall."

Tong Jia Xili was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that they had already reached a corner.Behind Yinzhen is the outer wall of a house.

If it wasn't for Yinzhen suddenly standing in front of him just now, she might have bumped into it.

"I...I..." When Tong Jia Xili looked up at Yinzhen again, his face turned red when he recalled the things he was thinking about before.

"It's nothing!" Tong Jia Xili smiled awkwardly, walked forward quickly and said, "Didn't you say that the emperor and aunt are still waiting, hurry up and go there."

"En." Yinzhen nodded and followed Tong Jia Xili's footsteps, and said silently behind him: "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me."

"Got it." Tong Jia Xili agreed with her head buried in her head, not daring to look at Yinzhen.

What were those thoughts she had just now!

In the dining hall, the meal has already been set up.Most of them are home-cooked dishes, and I feel very appetizing when I look at them.

"My son has seen Huang Ama and Er Niang."

"The courtier has met the emperor and the imperial concubine."

Tong Jia Xili and Yinzhen walked in together across the threshold, and respectfully bowed in front of the two elders.

So, it should be regarded as New Year's greetings, right?

Master Kangxi smiled heartily, looked at Tong Jia Xili and said, "Little Gege from Tong's mansion, why are you dressed like a little rabbit today, and came here bouncing around?"

...

This Lord Kangxi has nothing to do, what is he doing to make fun of himself?
"I felt the cold wind in winter and my neck was very cold, so I wrapped it with something." Tong Jia Xili reluctantly explained, and sat down with Yinzhen.

The imperial concubine watched Yinzhen come over, and the hostility in her eyebrows and eyes also dissipated, and turned into maternal charity.

"I ordered the dining room to specially make your favorite yam and lily porridge. Eat more." As the imperial concubine said, she helped Lord Kangxi and Yinzhen serve the porridge.

"You mother, I only remember what you like to eat, and I don't even remember what I like to eat." Master Kangxi smiled aggrievedly, and the atmosphere of the scene became more lively.

"Emiang remembers every bit of what Huang Ama likes to eat." Yinzhen said seriously: "My son, I also remember it in my heart."

"Most of the meals in Chengqian Palace are prepared according to your preferences, Huang Ama."

As he said that, Yinzhen, who looked like a little adult, took a piece of cold bamboo shoots in front of him and gave it to Lord Kangxi.

"Yes." Lord Kangxi suddenly felt a little more emotional, looked at the imperial concubine and said, "Oh, I will come to Chengqian Palace to see you two more in the future."

The imperial concubine nodded with a smile, she looked a little shy like a young girl in love.

"Look at you, what nonsense are you talking about?" The imperial concubine scolded Yinzhen and said, "Your emperor Ama is busy with state affairs, so you should be busy with political affairs first."

Lord Kangxi nodded, and said to the imperial concubine: "I understand everything. Government affairs are important, but I can't forget you."

The imperial concubine smiled knowingly, and she was completely happy in her heart.

A table of people, eating while talking, is no different from ordinary people's homes.It was fun and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

And Tong Jia Xili sat beside Yinzhen, and occasionally she could make a few witty remarks, which made the two elders laugh heartily.

"Xi Li's funny look reminds me of you when you first entered the palace."

After eating breakfast, Lord Kangxi looked at the imperial concubine, and suddenly felt a feeling in his heart.At the beginning, the time was rushing, and it really was unforgiving.

"What did the concubine look like when she entered the palace? A concubine does not have Xili's good temper." As the imperial concubine said, she pulled Tong Jia Xili to the front of Lord Kangxi.

"After all, the emperor is still your cousin." The imperial concubine smiled and said, "The people in our room are really a family."

Emperor Kangxi's biological mother, Queen Xiaokang, and Tong Jiaxili's grandfather, Tong Guowei, were brothers and sisters.So speaking of it, there is really a blood relationship.

Tong Jiaxi blushed slightly, and suddenly remembered the messy things he had thought before.

"Hmm." Master Kangxi turned the jade finger and said, "You and I are cousins, and Xili and Yinzhen are also cousins. It can be seen that there is a fate in it."

After such a commotion, the two adults laughed, but the two children seemed a little shy.

Tong Jia Xili buried her head and couldn't stand their jokes.But he didn't know that at this time, Yinzhen had already secretly glanced at himself.

Huang Ama and Er Niang are right.They are cousins, and Xili and I are also cousins.

For some reason, Yinzhen felt deeply convinced by such a sentence.

"Okay, your majesty, don't make trouble with the two children." The imperial concubine looked embarrassed at the two children, and simply said: "It's getting late, and it's time to go to the empress dowager."

"Yes." Master Kangxi nodded, and then took the two children to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

On New Year's Eve, it was rare that there was no snow.

After the snow cleared, the sun shone on the ground, reflecting a strong light.

The maids on both sides of the palace road are still working hard to clear the snow.However, they had already put on new clothes for the New Year's Eve at this time.All of them are in high spirits, looking festive.

When the imperial sedan chair passed by, the maids also lowered their heads one by one, not daring to make any mistakes.

Outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, Lord Kangxi and his party had only just walked outside the main hall, and they could already hear the laughter inside.

The Empress Dowager had come over at this time, and Concubine De also came to pay her respects with her two children, Yin Zuo and Wen Xian.During the conversation, this old man who had already passed the ages was amused, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"Ai's family is old, and his body is useless. I'm looking forward to it now, and I can watch the children grow up in peace."

The Empress Dowager drooped her brows and eyes a little, and there was a bit of despondency in her expression.

"The Empress Dowager is in good health, how can you talk about an old name?" Seeing this, Concubine De explained, "You, in the future, you will help the children with their marriage affairs."

The Empress Dowager smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Yes. How wonderful it is to see the children grow up in the future."

Between the words, the Empress Dowager's eyes were also full of expectation.

It's great to see her favorite great-grandson getting married.

　Good night~~
