Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 147 The king listens to you

"Where are Xiao Er and Xin Er?" Chu Ci looked at Qing Miao for a moment, and asked nervously.

Qing Miao was startled when she heard the words, but soon she smiled again, looked at her and explained, "Miss, have you forgotten? The two young masters were with the Prince Regent in Nuan Pavilion last night!"

Meng Jing...

Hearing Qing Miao mention this person, Chu Ci heaved a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand to support her head, closed her eyes and thought for a while before remembering what happened before drinking last night.

At this time, Qing Miao also brought her embroidered shoes under the bed, and knelt down to wait for her to put them on.

"Servant, let the girl wash up!" Seeing Chu Ci put on her shoes, Qing Miao stood up and said.

Chu Ci nodded with embarrassment, "Well, go fetch water and bring me a bowl of hangover soup. I still feel a little headache now."

"Your maidservant knows!" Qing Miao said, and helped Chu Ci to sit down on the couch next to her, then turned and left.

After Chuci finished packing up, Xiao Er and Xin Er were finally sleepy at the Nuan Pavilion, and the two little ones started yawning one after the other.

Looking at it, Meng Jing felt that the two children were extremely cute, and at the same time, she felt a little distressed in her heart.

He hugged one in each hand, put the two children on the bed, held their little hands and said, "Go to sleep, Daddy will watch over you, stay with you all the time, and won't leave..."

Although the two little babies couldn't understand the meaning of Meng Jing's words, they could truly feel the love their father had for them, and immediately yawned again, and soon grabbed his hand and fell into a deep sleep past.

As soon as they fell asleep on their front feet, Chu Ci walked in from the outside on his back feet.

When she saw the happy appearance of the father and son on the bed, a daze appeared on her face, and she stood at the door blankly watching for a long time before she came back to her senses and walked towards Meng Jing.

"My lord!" She called out softly after walking to his side.

Hearing this, Meng Jing raised her head and glanced at Chu Ci.

Maybe it's because Nanjun Wangfei just had a big funeral, even on the first day of the new year, her clothes are very dull.There were almost no pendants on the moon-white dress, only small dark patterns were embroidered on the sleeves and hem.

But also because of this, it made her even more pretty, and with just one glance, he couldn't move his eyes away.

Chu Ci saw his slightly burning eyes, couldn't help frowning, turned to the side, and said coldly, "What is the prince looking at?"

Meng Jing came back to her senses after being asked such a question, smiled apologetically at her, and said, "My king lost his mind, it's my fault."

"When will the prince go back to the palace?" Chu Ci ignored Meng Jing's apology and asked him when he would leave.

When Meng Jing was asked such a question, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't show it on the face. She just turned her head, glanced at the hands held by the two children, and smiled bitterly, "I just want to leave now, so I don't want to leave." Can't go!"

Chu Ci followed his gaze and saw the hands of the three of them.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help feeling soft-could this be the nature of father and son?Even if it is not common, once you see it, you will be extremely dependent.

Thinking of this, she didn't hate Meng Jing any more, she pursed her lips forcefully, and said to him, "Then wait for Xiaoer and Xiner to wake up, and then the lord can leave!"

Meng Jing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chu Ci, frowned, and said, "I listen to you!"

"I'll let someone prepare breakfast first!" Chu Ci didn't answer Meng Jing's words, saluted, then turned and walked outside.

Meng Jing watched her slender figure walk away step by step, until she disappeared, then she reluctantly looked away...

He stayed by the bed for more than an hour, and it was almost the end of the hour and the beginning of the hour when Xiao'er and Xin'er woke up.

In Meng Jing's memory, this was the first time he saw the two children waking up from sleep. Their watery and misty eyes were like ink jade soaked in water, and there was a faint flow of dark light. My heart like black iron is about to melt.

"Mother—" Xin'er woke up first, looked at her own father in front of her, and called mother in a childish voice.

When Meng Jing heard this, he immediately thought of how he had taught the two children to call him daddy all night. He sighed and explained to the little baby in front of him, "My father is not your mother, but my father is your father." , you call Father Daddy, and Father will give you this jade pendant..." As he spoke, he untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist.

The jade pendant was black in color, it was the one he used as the consultation fee when he first went to Chu Ci for consultation, and it was also given to him by the late emperor himself, and it was regarded as a symbol of his status.

Xin'er looked at the black jade pendant dangling in front of him, as if he knew the value of that thing, he blinked his eyes, as if he was about to scream.

Seeing his expression in his eyes, Meng Jing felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, shook the jade pendant immediately, and said a few words of encouragement.

Xin'er listened to her father's encouragement, and after a long time, she finally made up her mind to compromise once for this jade pendant and call the man in front of her father once.

But what he didn't expect was that at the critical moment, he was cut off by his elder brother.

"father!"

There was only a clear sound of milk, and the next moment, before Meng Jing's eyes moved away from Xin'er's face, the jade pendant in his hand was grabbed by Xiao Er who didn't know when he sat up.

"Xiao Er?" After a long time, Meng Jing looked at the eldest son next to him in shock, and asked gently, "Xiao Er, what did you call me just now?"

Xiaoer grabbed the jade pendant that was bigger than his palm, and called out "Father" very loudly!
After Meng Jing listened, she felt her eye sockets became hot and her eyes were a little sore.

This is his flesh and blood, the people connected with his blood, his child, who will finally call him daddy!
His life was not in vain!Not in vain!

"father!"

"father!"

After Xiao Er's words fell behind, Xin'er finally came to his senses, he turned around, and while grabbing the jade pendant in Xiao Er's hand, he yelled "Father!"
It looked like he was complaining to Meng Jing, and he would also call his father, the jade pendant should have been his!

Hearing the two sons scrambling to call father, Meng Jing was moved again.

He leaned forward, hugged the two children directly, kissed each of them vigorously on the left and right, and said, "You are all good sons of father! You are all good sons of father!"

"Father! Father!" Xin'er stared at the jade pendant in Xiaoer's hand, still yelling loudly.

His intentions were too obvious, and Meng Jing couldn't ignore them, so he could only promise him that he would give him a piece of exactly the same black jade with his name engraved on it.

After being coaxed by him like this, Xin'er slowly calmed down.

On the other side, under the arrangement of Chu Ci, the first breakfast of the new year was also served on the table.

"Go and see, are the two young masters awake?" In the flower hall, Chu Ci watched all the dishes being served, and turned to Zhejin beside him to give instructions.

When Zhejin heard the words, he responded, turned around and backed away.

After a while, when she came back, there was Meng Jing holding two children by her side.

Chu Ci looked at Meng Jing who looked like a loving father, his eyes were straight for a long time before he returned to normal, bowed his head and gave him a blessing, and said, "Since the two children are awake, the prince will hand them over to Yun Niang and Qing Miao. , you can have breakfast first!"

"No need!" Meng Jing seldom refuted Chu Ci once. He looked at her and shook his head lightly, and said, "This king holding them does not prevent this king from having breakfast... Besides, it is rare for this king to see them once." , let them get closer to this king!"

Chu Ci had no way to refute this reason, so he could only let him go.

The meal was quite tasteless, and Chu Ci spent more than half of his time paying attention to the interaction between the two children and Meng Jing...

She used to think that a man as cold as Meng Jing might not be a loving father, but at this moment, she had to admit that her previous thinking was a bit narrow.

Meng Jing has affection in his heart, love in his heart!

He cherishes his family more than anyone else.

He will be a good father.

Even if you don't, you will learn slowly...

After breakfast, Chu Ci seemed to have forgotten what he said before. If the two children woke up and asked Meng Jing to leave, he would spend another day with him and the two little babies until it was dark. send him away...

At the gate of Chu's residence.

Before Meng Jing got into the car, she suddenly turned her head to look at Chu Ci and lifted her lips.Cautiously asked, "Aci, can I still come to see Xiao Er and Xin Er in the future?"

Chu Ci was taken aback when he heard the words.

After a while, as if he finally came to his senses, he looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "Of course."

"Is it all right afterward?" Meng Jing couldn't help but push forward.

Chu Ci turned cold, looked at him and said, "Of course not at any time, at most... I promise you to see them once a week."

"A week?"

"That's seven days."

"Well, the king knows." Meng Jing nodded to her, expressing her understanding, then said goodbye to her again, and then boarded the car and left.

Chu Ci stood where he was, watching his carriage drive out of the alley, and when he lost sight, he turned and went back to Chu's house.

In the Chu residence, as soon as she entered the door, the dumb girl hurried up to greet her, and said to her in sign language, "Girl, Mrs. Su wants to see you!"

Chu Ci understood what the dumb girl meant.

Her usual expression immediately darkened, and as she followed her towards the east wing, she asked softly, "Grandmother, can you tell me, what can you do with me?"

The dumb girl shook her head, gestured with both hands, "This old Mrs. Su didn't say anything."

"Well, I see!" Chu Ci nodded without saying anything.

There were only three entrances to the Chu residence, which was not very big, and soon she took the dumb girl to the east wing.

After a day and a night of recuperation, Mrs. Su's spirit became better. When she saw Chu Ci coming in, she immediately smiled a little flatteringly, and called "A Ci".

Chu Ci stepped forward, saluted Mrs. Su first, and then asked, "I don't know why grandma called her granddaughter here?"

Mrs. Su heard her asking, but she didn't answer her question immediately, but pointed to the couch next to her, motioning her to sit down first.

Chu Ci looked at the soft cushioned couch, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.

"Today is the first day of the new year." Mrs. Su looked at Chu Ci and sat down, then opened the conversation box, looked at her and said lovingly, "Grandmother has nothing to give you, only this jade hairpin is when I get married. , the dowry my mother gave me...for so many years, she has been with me, and I will give it to you today!" As she spoke, she took out a fine white jade hairpin from under the pillow, and put it in Chu Ci's hand. Rise to go.

When Chu Ci touched the jade hairpin that still had Mrs. Su's body temperature, he subconsciously withdrew his hand back as if he had touched something hot.

"..." Mrs. Su couldn't help but froze when she saw this, she lightly knocked her eyelids, a little disappointed, looked at Chu Ci hurt, and said, "A Ci, you don't like what your grandmother gave you. Something?" She sighed deeply again, "Grandmother knows that grandma is not as wealthy as your in-law's grandmother, and the things she gives you are not as good as those given to you by your in-law's grandmother, but this is what grandma treats you. A piece of mind, can you...can you not dislike it? Even if you don't wear it out, you can put it at the bottom of the dressing box. You can just coax grandma!"

Hearing Mrs. Su's words, Chu Ci felt that his calm heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Su with clear eyes.

After a long time, she sighed and said, "Grandmother, when Lu's grandmother gave me things, she was sincere. When she gave me a dowry, she never said a word that I should be chaste to my husband. In other words, when she gave Xiao Er and Xin Er private property, she never cared about whether they were included in the Lu family's genealogy, whether they would be named Lu in the future, and whether they would recognize the Prince Regent as their own father...Grandmother of the Lu family Everything she gave contained her purest care and love for me, Xiaoer and Xin'er...Grandma, Lu's grandma is really different from you."

When Mrs. Su said the first sentence from Chu Ci, her expression changed.

At the last sentence, her whole face turned into a pig liver color, turning green and turning red, extremely embarrassing.

But Chu Ci stood up as if he didn't see her embarrassment, and gave him a blessing, and said in a cold and serious voice, "To be honest, I really dare not take things from grandma, and I can't take them. You will Don't even think about giving me anything, I won't accept it."

"As for the amulets and lock pieces that I received before, I think I saved your life this time, and I paid them off."

"Grandmother, good night! Granddaughter is leaving first!" After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Su just watched her leave in such a daze, until the door of the east wing was closed, she seemed to finally come to her senses, breathed violently, and said forcefully, "It was my fault! It was my fault Already!"

Su Fengxiang, this child does not look like her mother at all!

If Yu Xueniang was still there, she could guarantee that even if she risked her life, she would still protect the Su family.

And Su Fengxiang, she won't!She doesn't have the Su family in her heart at all!
That night, Mrs. Su stayed up all night.

Xie Ci lived in the main courtyard, but Chu Ci had a good night's sleep.

……

Jueming was escorted to Beijing on the day of Powu.

Chu Ci took a look at him, and after talking to him for half an hour, he gave him a pack of dumb medicine.Then he was imprisoned in the secret prison of the Prince Regent's Palace in the capital.

As soon as she saw Jueming on her front foot, she knew Meng Jing's side on her back foot.

He called Han Cang into the study, looked at him, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the preparation at the Jinyu Pavilion going?"

Hearing this, Han Cang cupped his hands and said, "It's ready, as long as the emperor leaves the palace, he'll definitely not be able to escape the palm of Miss Rouge."

Meng Jing nodded, "This king knows, and then I will ask someone to arrange... to order the emperor to go on tour in disguise!"

"Well, this subordinate understands." Han Cang nodded, and then he and Meng Jing perfected the plan before turning around and leaving.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Lantern Festival.

At noon that day, when the chief eunuch Li Zhong was serving Emperor Jing Ming for a meal, he inadvertently mentioned that there would be a lantern festival in the capital tonight.

Emperor Jing Ming didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard the word "Lantern Festival", he just gave a faint "hmm".

Seeing this, Li Zhong had no choice but to continue his efforts, "I see that your majesty has been very sleepy recently, how about taking advantage of the fun tonight, and my servant will accompany you out for a walk, and help you change your mood?"

When Emperor Jing Ming heard what Li Zhong said, a little interest appeared on his face. He put down his chopsticks, nodded, and said, "Alright, let's go for a walk tonight!"

Li Zhong hurriedly heard the words, bowed his head and nodded, "Yes, then... the servant is going to arrange the people who will accompany you at night?"

Emperor Jingming nodded, and when Li Zhong turned around to leave, he added, "Since we are going out to relax, then call the imperial concubine and the prince too! They haven't gone out in the first month, so they go out with me Change your mood!"

Hearing what Emperor Jing Ming said, Li Zhong frowned all of a sudden, he stopped walking, looked at Emperor Jing Ming and said, "But in this way, there will be no serious master in the palace..."

"Then what do you mean?" Emperor Jingming looked up at Li Zhong and asked indifferently.

Li Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you let the imperial concubine stay in the palace to preside over the overall situation, and the emperor take the prince out to change the mood?"

Emperor Jing Ming thought about it carefully, said "hmm", and said, "Then listen to you, there must be a master in the palace, and the imperial concubine will be left in the palace to preside over the overall situation and serve the queen mother. I will take the prince out to change my mood. !"

"What the emperor said is that the slave will arrange it now!" Li Zhong said, and walked out...

Emperor Jingming watched him leave.

Thinking of the hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival at night, I lost the mood to read the memorial for a while.

He simply asked the little eunuch to bring over the regular clothes he didn't wear on weekdays. He wanted to personally pick out some clothes for himself to wear during private visits.

The little eunuch only knew that the master was about to pay a private visit, so he agreed and went to the cage behind the screen to help the master choose clothes.

Emperor Jingming's regular clothes are quite a lot, and the little eunuch brought over a dozen sets as soon as he picked them up.

Emperor Jingming looked at them one by one, and finally picked out a blue-colored uniform after the rain.

After the uniform was selected, he personally chose a Golden Crown for himself.

Night fell quickly.

On the other side, Li Zhong also ordered the people who would accompany him out of the palace.Just waiting for Emperor Jingming to change into his regular clothes and make-up, a group of people took advantage of the night to walk outside the palace.

Tonight, outside the palace was indeed surprisingly lively.

Emperor Jingming was soft-tempered, and was always under the tight control of the Empress Dowager Ren, so he never left the palace after he ascended the throne. Now that he was outside the palace, he really saw everything new.

Walking slowly, I gradually have a feeling of returning to my youth.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise in front.

It seems that someone is arguing.

Emperor Jing Ming felt that he had returned to his youth, and his meddling problem suddenly came out. When he saw someone arguing in front of him, he walked towards the source of the excitement without saying a word. As he walked, he ordered to follow him The guard who came out together said, "Go and find out, what happened in front!"

"Yes, master!" The guard listened to his master's order, clapped his hands in agreement, and walked forward.

Emperor Jing Ming took advantage of the guards' departure and also walked up to him.

Li Zhong stayed by his side all the time, protecting him and pushing forward, while carefully persuading him, "There are so many people, please be careful! Don't get hurt by being squeezed!"

Emperor Jingming listened to Li Zhong's words, but he didn't take it very seriously.

He didn't answer, just kept pushing forward.

It wasn't until I squeezed closer that I realized that it was two romantic young men who were fighting for a good-looking rich daughter. The two held each hand of the rich daughter. One said that he wanted the rich daughter to accompany him to watch the lamp, and the other said that the rich Qianjin must go with him today!

When Emperor Jing Ming watched this scene, his blood rushed to the top of his head.

Without even thinking about it, he took a step forward, looked fiercely at the two young men who were vying for the rich family's daughter, and said, "Let go of this young lady, she will not follow anyone today!"

"Hey, here comes another boy!" Seeing a third person coming in, the two romantic young men glanced sideways at him, and immediately taunted him!
Being ridiculed by the two of them, Emperor Jing Ming immediately became furious again. Without saying a word, he raised his hands at the two of them. While fighting with the two of them, he did not forget to sell the good-looking daughter of the rich family. Said, "Don't worry, girl, I'm here today, I'm sure they won't bully you, just wait and see..."

After shouting, the movements under his hands became more violent.

The two flirtatious young men were really weak after all, especially after Li Zhong joined, they were soon beaten to pieces by Emperor Jing Ming.

Emperor Jing Ming stepped on the stomach of one of the Merry Young Masters, pointed at the other Merry Young Master who was clutching his stomach and couldn't stand up, and said sharply, "If you don't apologize to this young lady, get out..."

Seeing this, the two romantic young men had no choice but to apologize to the rich daughter.

The face of the rich daughter was flushed, she walked towards Emperor Jingming step by step, and said gracefully, "Thank you for saving me today, the little girl is very grateful...but I have to forgive and forgive, they are not What kind of treacherous and evil people, young master, let them go!"

When Emperor Jing Ming heard the woman's soft and soft voice, his heart was even more distracted, and he followed her intention, looked at the two romantic young men and said, "Today, for the sake of the young lady, I will bypass you first. , Hurry up and get out!"

Hearing what Emperor Jingming said, the two romantic young masters hurriedly got up from the ground and limped away being supported by their servants.

Emperor Jingming watched the two leave in a hurry, this one flicked up his sleeves and walked towards the rich daughter...
