The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 239 Baby (two more)

She couldn't help walking over and said softly behind Xiaodouding, "Baby, where is your family?"

Baby?

Xiao Jingkong, who had never been called like that before, shivered, turned around in a daze, looked around, and looked at the other person in a cute way: "Are you... calling me?"

There seem to be no other children here.

But baby...

Oops, ashamed!

He is four years old!

Xiao Jingkong's small face suddenly became blushing, and it became more and more cute.

Princess Yu's heart was soft, she squatted down in front of Xiaojingkong, and spoke with him flatly: "Are you alone? Where is your family?"

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said, "My family is busy."

Princess Yu was turned over by him: "Are you... from the hospital?"

Xiao Jingkong's small hands are behind his back, and he nods his head.

Xiao Jingkong was wearing Guozijian's school uniform and school cap, like a miniature sesame officer, but his hair was a little short.

Gollum~

Xiao Qingkong's stomach growled.

He lowered his head and looked at his little belly with a look of resentment.

What is it called at this time? Is he shameless?

Princess Yu let out a chuckle, put the food box on a stone, opened the lid, and gave him a small plate of crab cakes: "Here."

This is the crab cake bought from outside. It got cold after being left for too long. She took it to let the people in the kitchen warm it up.

This kind of thing can be done by the maid, but she wants to come out for a walk after being bored in the room all afternoon.

Xiao Jingkong looked at Huang Chengcheng's dim sum, took a sip, and sighed, "Thank you, but I can't eat meat."

Xiao Jingkong saw that Xu Zhouzhou and Chu Yu had eaten the crab yellow cake, and knew that there was meat in it.

Even if there is no meat, ordinary dim sum will use lard in order to pursue the taste.

These Gu Jiao have all explained, so Xiao Jingkong usually does not eat randomly outside.

Princess Yu was stunned for a moment: "Why can't you eat meat?"

The little guy was embarrassed to say that he was dizzy, thought about it, and said, "Maybe it's because I used to be a monk?"

Princess Yu was even more puzzled, how could such a cute little guy ever become a monk?

Is that why his hair is so short?

Princess Yu looked at his little head again,

He asked softly, "How old were you when you became a monk?"

Xiao Jingkong said honestly: "I was very young. Master said that I was born in a temple. I grew up in a temple, so I became a monk."

Princess Yu said again: "Then why didn't your parents pick you up down the mountain?"

Xiao Jingkong shook his head: "I don't have a parent, no, I have it now. Jiaojiao's parents are my parents!"

When he said these words, there was no complaint or sadness in his eyes, and he was a very sunny little cutie.

However, Princess Yu felt her heart clenched, as if there was a trace of pain. She looked at Xiao Jingkong and asked nervously, "How old are you?"

Xiao Jingkong raised his finger: "Four years old."

Princess Yu's heart suddenly became uncomfortable. If her child was still alive, it would be four years old...

After Ming'er woke up, Princess Yu took Ming'er back to the royal garden.

Along the way, I don't know if it was the illusion of the inner servant, but I always felt that the princess was in a particularly low mood.

On the other side, the palace.

The envoys of Liang State, represented by Prince Yu, and the ministers of Zhao State quarreled at the Qilin Hall.

Liang Guo even tried to use a lime mortar technology in exchange for Zhao Guo's most advanced bellows technology and the glutinous rice mortar technology that had just come out.

To be honest, this lime mortar is Liang Guo's latest technology compared to the lowest-level drainage technology that Liang Guo gave to Zhao Guo.

However, Zhaoguo does not need this technology, Zhaoguo already has a better glutinous rice mortar!

Besides, it's not enough to change one, and it's too shameless to change the bellows technology too?

The imperial court is very fortunate that they managed to control the bellows in time, otherwise Liang Guo's shameless behavior might steal the teacher from the small county town, and then bite Zhao Guo for stealing the teacher from them!

This is not the most irritating, and what is even more irritating is that Liang Guo actually wanted to open an unequal trade exchange between the two sides - to exchange Liang Guo's inferior handicrafts for Zhao Guo's first-class silk and tea.

It is said that Yuan Shoufu was dizzy on the spot.

The faces of the princes were not much better, no matter how they fought internally, they should always be the same externally.

Liang Guo is going too far. This is a negotiation, it is a blatant robbery!

But what can they do?

Blame the Zhao Kingdom for being too weak and the Liang Kingdom for being too powerful.

After arguing for a whole day, the officials on both sides were full of smoke, and the Prince Du Du Yu was leisurely and unaffected at all, as if he had a great grasp of the negotiation.

"It's getting late, all of you adults go back first, so you can think about it for a night, don't be in a hurry. Anyway, this king will stay in the capital for a few days."

Zhao Guo's officials, big and small, were so angry that they couldn't roll their eyes.

Of course you are not in a hurry. You are here to slaughter the fat sheep. Anyway, you are not afraid of not being able to slaughter them.

Prince Yu left the palace with a smile on his face, regardless of how black everyone's faces were.

The prince and King Ning looked at each other, and both saw sparks in each other's eyes.

This negotiation is very important. Whoever can take back the initiative from Liang's envoy will be able to prove to his father that he is more capable of inheriting the throne.

Because Princess Rui became famous at the reception banquet, Prince Yu, who likes rhythm, has a good impression on Rui Wang and his wife.

The emperor saw it, so he sent the third child to be a guide for Prince Yu. These days, the third child took Prince Yu to play in the capital, doing the best of the landlord's friendship.

From this point of view alone, King Ning's lineage has more opportunities to contact Prince Yu in private.

After leaving the palace, King Rui invited Prince Yu to visit the lake.

Prince Yu had been to the capital once, and was deeply impressed by the painting boats in the capital, and he was very willing to go there.

The two got on the three-story luxury painting boat that King Rui had dispatched earlier.

However, no one expected that, halfway through the tour of the lake, Prince Yu's wing suddenly caught fire.

Because Prince Yu was grilling fish with King Rui on the deck, he was not blocked by the fire in the wing, but because all the boats were burned, everyone had to jump into the water to escape.

Prince Yu is no exception.

A good swim in the lake, I almost killed myself!

Prince Yu returned from defeat!

The boat burned down, so there is no way to know how the fire started.

The matter soon spread to the palace.

The emperor called King Rui and scolded him: "How do you do things? You were asked to receive the envoy, but you made such a big mess! Didn't you take precautions in advance!"

King Rui was very wronged.

He swore that he had taken precautions, and he did not know how many times he had checked before and after, for fear that something would go wrong.

King Rui was scolded by the emperor, and when he came out of the imperial study, he met King Ning, who had been waiting for him outside the palace.

King Ning asked worriedly, "Third brother, are you all right?"

King Rui said with red eyes, "I'm fine... it's just... I messed up things... The emperor said... I don't need to worry about the affairs of the envoy, let me go to the Hall of Prayer for New Years and kneel..."

King Ning patted him on the shoulder and said with relief, "It's best if you're okay, eldest brother will kneel with you."

King Ning and King Rui knelt on the stone road in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest.

The Hall of Prayer for New Years is the place where the emperor used to think about it. When the prince made a mistake, he usually only asked him to kneel in the imperial study. Kneeling to the Hall of Prayer for New Years meant that the situation was very serious, and the emperor did not intend to forgive him easily.

Rui Wang hurriedly shook his head: "Big brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, I didn't do it well myself."

King Ning looked at him and said, "You are my younger brother. You made a mistake. It was me who was the eldest brother who didn't teach him well."

King Ning and King Rui were punished to kneel together. The emperor didn't say anything. Everyone knew King Ning's temper. He was the one who protected the younger brothers the most.

The emperor sighed: "Prince Concubine has been to Liang State, and she has a certain understanding of Liang State's envoys. Let her and the second child handle the reception."

The prince was ordered in danger, and he went to the royal garden with the prince overnight to care about the situation of Prince Yu.

Prince Yu was actually fine. The fire started from the wing. He was on the deck and jumped into the lake early. After he came back and changed his clothes, he was fine.

He didn't want to worry Princess Yu, so he planned to downplay it and took it with him in one stroke. When he entered the house, he found that his own princess looked wrong.

Ming'er slept a lot in the afternoon, and now she went to play in the garden. Princess Yu sat alone by the window, her eyes dull.

"Madam, what's the matter with you?" Prince Yu walked over nervously, "Did Ming'er's condition worsen?"

Princess Yu turned around.

Only then did Prince Yu realize that her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried, and he hurriedly said, "Madam! What happened?"

There were tears in Prince Yu's dry eyes again: "My lord...you said that child...isn't he actually dead..."

Prince Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood who she was talking about.

Prince Yu has two sons and one daughter, but they are not blood, they are the children of his brother.

His brother died in battle, and his sister-in-law also died of illness. He adopted his three nieces and nephews into his own name.

That child was conceived when Ming'er was four years old.

So strictly speaking, the child who died early is their only flesh and blood.

The countdown is doubled, and the votes are cleared.
