Originally, I was going to take the three young ones together, but Ruyi was very rare in the lotus pond, and Qi Yun was rarely at home, so Ye Jiao left Ruyi for Qi Erlang to take care of. It would be good for the father and daughter to see the lotus. .

Xu Bao originally wanted to stay, but at the insistence of Qi Erlang who didn't want to study, he reluctantly got into the carriage and followed Ye Jiao and Ning Bao into the palace.

In order to facilitate Ye Jiao's entry and exit, Empress Meng gave her a waist card.

When the guard at the gate saw it, he put the carriage in and didn't ask anything more. When the carriage arrived outside the hall, when Ye Jiao came down, what he saw was the palace people who usually waited next to Queen Meng and looked at her with a smile.

Ye Jiao helped Xiaosu to get out of the carriage, and the mother greeted her. After a salute, she said: "Mrs. Qi Fuan, the empress had told me to prepare melons and fruits, and she was waiting for her to come."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiao smiled and said, "Mother Song is interested." Then she followed Mother Song and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Although Ning Bao usually doesn't like to talk, he seems to be a dull temper, but like all children, he is very dependent on Ye Jiao, and when he is outside, he likes to reach out and find his mother to hug him.

Unless Ye Jiao is holding Xu Bao or Ruyi, as long as Ye Jiao's arms are empty, Ning Bao will stick to it.

But once in the palace, Ning Bao would be obediently held by Mrs. Mo without making any noise.

I only looked at Ye Jiao occasionally. Seeing that Ye Jiao didn’t mean to pick him up, Ning Bao didn’t say much anymore. He just lay his head sideways in Madam Mo’s arms, yawned and closed his eyes, looking like She was asleep, but Mrs. Mo knew that Master Ning was very awake.

It was about the last time that Qi Yun's beating had an effect. Now Mrs. Mo pays special attention to several children, not only taking care of the children's diet and daily life like an ordinary woman, but also in other aspects.

Especially the temperament of the three little masters, Madam Mo carefully pondered.

Needless to say, Xu Bao has taken care of him for the longest time. Naturally, he knows that Xu Bao is extremely smart. Perhaps he will be more relaxed towards his family, but Xu Bao is very vigilant towards outsiders. Even though he is young, he is When I read a lot, I have my own rules and regulations.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, he is extra reasonable, and extraordinarily unrelenting, he will never let go of any omissions.

Madam Mo saw Xu Bao using the little milk voice to tell Xiao Hei's irregularities more than once, and every time she said something that was not repeated.

Ruyi is the best one of the three children. It is not that she is not intelligent, but that Ruyi does not put all the cleverness in reading like Xu Bao, but she knows how to choose and let go. .

The little girl has a book of her own in her heart. It looks well-behaved and easy to coax, but she can’t get the ten cows back. Even if she can’t get it easily, she has to try her best. Try it.

Fortunately, Ruyi is reasonable and treats others in a gentle manner.

Ning Bao is different from them.

In fact, speaking of it, Ning Bao has never made Lady Mo bother.

Xu Bao has a strong mouth and a stubborn temper. If something happens, Mrs. Mo will always have a headache, but Ning Bao sleeps at least eight hours out of the twelve hours a day, or is in the mood to sleep, and doesn’t like crying. If you don't like to ask for something, you can play with yourself, as long as you eat well and sleep well, he will be happy.

But after taking care of Ning Bao for a long time, I know that this child is the most difficult to bring.

Quiet, but the idea in my heart is very big. He has a very temperamental like Qi Yun. He is naturally gentle towards the family, but he is particularly indifferent to outsiders, especially when he is very accurate, so that no one can hold him. Have your own choice.

Once the mother-in-law taking care of the child gets impatient with the little master, she is not allowed to hold her, and she is naturally doing her job.

Ning Bao looked at being well-behaved, but once he lost his temper, unless it was Ye Jiao, no one else could coax him well.

Mrs. Mo had always been very cautious with Ning Bao, and she held it upright now, for fear of making Ning Bao uncomfortable.

Ning Bao didn't care what Mother Mo was thinking. He just lay on her shoulders lazily and muttered: "It's still soft and sweet."

This made Mrs. Mo laugh and wondered if she was still a child.

Ye Jiao took Xu Bao’s little fleshy hand and led him to move forward. Mother Song, who led the way, took care of Xu Bao’s short calf, and walked a little slower. She smiled as she walked. The madam came at the right time. His Royal Highness had just woke up, and she should have finished breastfeeding at this moment. It was just in time for her to have the little red string that Young Master Ning gave him all the time. This time Young Master Ning can come, he must happy."

Although Ye Jiao doesn't think that a child of that age can remember people, what does she say to her family and close friends, but Ye Jiao is very generous to outsiders, and she just smiles. , Said: "That's it, Ning Bao always said that he wanted to see His Royal Highness."

Ning Bao lifted his head from Mother Mo's arms and said softly, "Look at brother."

Mother Song subconsciously wanted to make Ning Bao change her mind. After all, there is no blood relationship between the Qi family and the Tian family, so don't yell at this brother and brother.

However, Mother Song soon changed her mind. Her mother and her mother were not restrained by the Qi family, and Mrs. Qi was measured. At this moment, she was only childish, and she didn't need to be this villain.

So Mother Song just kept smiling, because Ye Jiao's group walked forward.

At this moment, Ye Jiao watched from a distance as two people were walking by another long corridor outside the hall.

The two looked young, they were all about seven years old. The beautiful dress in the front was extraordinarily expensive, and the one in the back was slightly taller than him. They were dressed in moon-white gowns. They looked at them at a very young age. expensive.

Ye Jiao couldn't help asking, "Who is that?"

Mother Song took a look, and she wouldn't talk too much when she changed to someone else, but Ye Jiao had the badge of Empress Meng, and she would often go in and out of the inner court in the future. It would be okay to say more about a taboo. Mother Song said: "The two The first person should be here to greet the empress. The first one is the little prince, his father is Prince Gong, and the next is the son of the Xiao family, who is the accompaniment to the little prince, and his father is Master Xiao Yuan Baixiao of the Privy Council."

Ye Jiao knew both of them.

Needless to say, Xiao Yuanbai had a very good relationship with his Saburo. Ye Jiao had seen him twice, and he could see that the tutoring was very good. In this way, the children of his family couldn't be better at learning.

As for Prince Gong’s person, Ye Jiao also heard from the lady who was listening at the tea party. This is the eighth child of the first emperor, and the eighth brother of the current saint, but because he is low-key, he didn’t even look at him when he was young. It was considered outstanding. After the crown ceremony, he went to the fief, and it was not until the new emperor ascended the throne that he dragged his family back to the capital.

Everyone said that he was smart, avoided the struggle, and also avoided the right and wrong. He was his idle prince in peace, got married early and had a group of children, and didn't know how happy life was.

But even if Ye Jiao listened to this, it was only as a story. Ye Jiao didn't care if she was clever or not, she just wrote it down.

At this moment, the two children on the corridor over there are facing up. Ye Jiao felt that he could bring the children from the Xiao family to study with him. This little prince wanted to come and had a good talent, so he didn’t care much, so he took it back. look.

Xu Bao listened, and wanted to see it on tiptoe, but the others were small and short, and they could only see bunches of flowers, not people.

On the contrary, Ning Bao glanced over there, then retracted his gaze and continued to lie down.

After entering the door, Mother Song didn't say anything any more, she drew the curtain to lead them in, and then Mother Song quickly walked to Empress Meng's side, slightly lowered her head and said nothing.

After Ye Jiao smiled and saluted, Empress Meng took her to sit on the soft couch and smiled gently: "I am a bit anxious to find you today, but is it hot?" After that, Empress Meng turned her head and said, " Bring some cold fruits."

Mother Song answered: "Yes."

Empress Meng turned her head to look at Ye Jiao, and asked, "Does Jiao Niang have any desserts that she would like to eat? This morning, I just had pine nuts and lily crisps prepared by someone, and milk rolls for the children. Would you like to try it? "

Ye Jiao always loves to eat, and she usually eats some snacks when she comes, so she didn't refuse now, and said: "Okay, trouble Hui Niang."

The palace people immediately prepared, and Empress Meng looked at Ye Jiao with a smile.

Empress Meng herself didn’t know why she was particularly happy to see Ye Jiao, but she felt relieved when she saw this person. It was probably because Empress Meng had lost her body after the poisonous substance collided with the child. With Ye Jiao around, she felt a little relaxed.

After all, the little ginseng is nourishing in everything, and is naturally comfortable with her.

Ye Jiao also remembered Empress Meng's body, and gently pushed up the jade bracelet on Empress Meng's wrist with his fingertips, and then stretched out his hand to gently wrap her wrist.

After a while, Ye Jiao was sure that Empress Meng's body was fine, and he was relieved.

As for the internal loss, this is not something that ordinary drugs can make up. Ye Jiao thought about everything and waited for the smooth results of Yanshengcao, otherwise she told Empress Meng now that the Yanshengcao did not bear fruit, but Hui Niangkong was happy. One game.

Empress Meng didn’t know that Ye Jiao thought so much, she just smiled gently and shook Ye Jiao’s hand, and said slowly: “Hua Ning entered the palace before, I think she is recovering well now, and his family is safe. He is very sensible and knows he is a healthy child just by looking at it."

Listening to her talking about the child, Ye Jiao remembered it, and looked around, "Where is the prince? Ning Bao was clamoring for him just now."

"In the Piandian, it should have just been full right now." After that, Empress Meng turned her head and said, "You take a few children to find your Royal Highness, take care of them, don't go wrong."

The palace people were all taught repeatedly by Empress Meng, so they were naturally safe. Ye Jiao didn't worry, and nodded and asked them to take their two children to the side hall.

Granny Mo also followed, while Xiao Su was still guarding Ye Jiao.

Empress Meng waved her hand to signal the palace people to temporarily withdraw.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jiao blinked, raised her head and whispered to Xiao Su softly, "Go outside and wait for me."

Xiao Su responded and then exited the door.

Empress Meng said: "Jiao Niang, I'm calling you this time, besides wanting to talk about the marriage between my fifth sister and your Saburo, there are other things I want to ask you for help."

Normally, the relationship between Empress Meng and Ye Jiao is good. The two are already extremely close, but Empress Meng has never said such solemn things.

Although Ye Jiao is not as accommodating as the human spirits in this palace, she still guessed that there must be something very important, and asked: "Hui Niang, you said, if I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Empress Meng tightened her fingertips, and then let go, and then said slowly: "In a few days, the soldiers who rebelled will return, which is the matter of these two days, but Liu Rong did not follow."

When she said this, Queen Meng also sighed in her heart.

Although she is a queen, there are some things that she can't ask more, especially this war. Empress Meng heard Chu Chengyun put up a sentence or two at most, and she was afraid that she could not ask more.

Chu Chengyun told Empress Meng about Liu Rong.

Missing for many days, nine dead.

Empress Meng didn’t have a deep impression of Liu Rong, but she knew that Liu Rong and Shi Tianrui’s relatives had a good relationship. Although she had never met the Shi family, both Hua Ning and Ye Jiao mentioned it, and Chu Chengyun also said Shi Shi Tianrui's baby sister is on the tip of Shi Tianrui's heart. If she learns about Liu Rong, Empress Meng is very afraid that she will not be able to make it through.

Ye Jiao's first reaction was to think of Shi Shi, she couldn't help but stand up, but quickly sat down again, her mouth opened, but she didn't know what to say.

Although Little Ginseng has lived for a thousand years, and has seen many life-and-death fights, it has nothing to do with her.

She used to care about the little fox, but now she cares about a few of them except her family, and she doesn't care about them.

It happened that people Ye Jiao knew might not be able to come back this time. For a moment, Ye Jiao was a little at a loss, as if she didn't understand the meaning of life and death.

Upon seeing this, Empress Meng patted the back of her hand hurriedly, and said slowly: "This is just a battle report on the bright side. Since ancient times, things on the battlefield have been inaccurate and will be out. Many things can't be said for a while. It's clear, whether he is well or not has yet to be determined."

When Ye Jiao heard this, she looked up at Queen Meng, hesitated and asked: "Hui Niang, do you want me to lie to Yingxiu?"

Empress Meng shook her head: "You have a temperament, I won't ask you to lie, and you can't lie."

Ye Jiao blinked, she was still a little dazed and sad just now, but she was washed away by Empress Meng's words.

For a while, the little ginseng couldn't tell it clearly. Was Hui Niang praise her good or was she stupid?

Empress Meng continued: "I just want you to invite Shi Shi to stay at your house for a while. The news that Liu Rong wants his class teacher to return to the court will surely be passed back to Beijing in these two days. He never returned with him. It will be heated up. Once this rumor comes out, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it. If Shishi listens to any accident, I am afraid it will be more troublesome. I think that your house has always been clean, and it is better for people to control it. Shi used to live for a few days, and it was better than scaring himself outside."

This is what Empress Meng said lightly. In fact, Empress Meng knew exactly what the rumors in the capital would become.

Liu Rong's life and death are unknown now, and everything cannot be determined until he or his body is found, and when the army never comes back, everything is unknown.

But sometimes people’s mouths look like knives, and they can’t even see blood.

Some things are said to be unresolved, and others are said to be unpredictable. There are always people who are willing to look at the people next to them with broken hearts and dying to have fun, even if they don’t know about Liu Rongshi’s, but Liu Rong He has a good relationship with Ye Pingrong, and there are many people who want to hit Ye Pingrong. When things about Liu Rong come in, they will change their appearance.

If these rumours that are destined to come into Shi's ears, even if Liu Rong comes back in the end, it will be troublesome for Shi to be seriously ill.

If it were an ordinary person, Empress Meng would naturally not have that leisurely mind.

But Shi Shi is different. She is only a woman living alone with her after she left. But her brother and her friends are all very important. Naturally Queen Meng must think more about Shi Shi, and she will also Thoughts protect some.

Empress Meng thought about letting Shi Tianrui take her back, but Shi Tianrui's mansion often has people in and out of the yamen, and an omission will cause trouble.

I also thought about Huaning, but there was Ye Pingrong in Huaning Mansion. He was a military commander who was full of joy and anger.

After thinking about it, the Qi family is left.

After hearing Empress Meng's explanation, Ye Jiao naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I like Yingxiu, and I will definitely not let others scare her."

Seeing Ye Jiao's words, Empress Meng breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of her hand again.

The two of them were speechless for a while before Empress Meng said, "Think for the better, and do everything to your fate."

Ye Jiao is more transparent than Queen Meng: "Since it is not serious, it is not true."

Empress Meng smiled faintly and nodded.

At this time, someone brought in snacks and melons. Empress Meng was eating fruit snacks with Ye Jiao while talking about the marriage of the Qi family's Meng family.

Although this matter has been told countless times with the family members, the various regulations actually don’t require them to worry too much, but they can break the topic just now, the atmosphere has warmed up, and Ye Jiao’s face also has a faint look. Smile.

But in my heart, Xiao Renshen made up his mind that he would invite Shi Shi to her house on the way back.

As for the reason, Empress Meng had already thought about it for her, and she said that it was enough to watch the lotus and children together.

On the other side, someone sent the milk roll to the side hall.

Chu Jingming actually had his own residence. There were several palaces in the Weiyang Palace where the queen lived. The prince had a special place. However, because Chu Jingming was still young and had a premature birth, he needed to be carefully looked after by the imperial physician at all times. Don't worry, this has been staying in the side hall to take care of.

Although the little guy was sealed as a prince, he didn't immediately wear bright yellow clothes. He seemed to be afraid that the color was too heavy to weigh his life. Now he is wearing a small red belly, which is especially festive.

Normally Chu Chengyun and Empress Meng didn't believe in any destiny, but when it came to their children, they always had eyeballs hurt. Even if they didn't believe it, they still had to believe it to get peace of mind.

Now, Xiao Jingming, wearing a red bellyband, was rolling happily on the soft couch. When he saw Ning Bao, he smiled at Ning Bao. After Ning Bao was held and sat on the soft couch, Jing Ming He immediately rolled over to Ning Bao and looked at him with his head up.

Jingming couldn't speak yet, but Ning Bao could see the doubt in his eyes.

Obviously, even though Xiaorou carried the red rope that Ning Bao had pulled off by him before, Chu Jingming had already forgotten Ning Bao, who had only one side.

Ning Bao was not angry at all, just pointed at himself patiently and said to him: "I, Ning Bao, my name is brother."

The palace servant who was waiting on the side smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is still young and can't speak."

Ning Bao gave an "Oh" and glanced at Chu Jingming.

My sister can talk, he still can't, stupid.

Chu Jingming didn’t know what Ning Bao was thinking. He still smiled and looked at Ning Bao. It is not unusual for a child of this age to play with him. Chu Jingming was the same as last time. He felt close when he saw Ning Bao. Ning Bao's fingers were not letting go.

Ning Bao also grabbed it casually. Later, he simply lay down and stood side by side with Xiao Jingming, with big eyes and small eyes. The two of them didn't say a word, but they could still watch them tacitly.

Xu Bao is not as patient as Ning Bao. He likes this soft, white and tender beautiful brother, but Xu Bao is more lively. When he sees the milk roll, he raises his head and looks at the palace people. They say yes. Eat, then just pick up one.

But instead of eating it himself, he ran to the soft couch, stretched his arm to Ning Bao, and said, "Brother, get up and eat."

Ning Bao immediately sat up, took the milk roll with a hand that was not pulled by Xiao Jingming, and put it into his mouth.

The dim sum made in this palace is always exquisite, and the royal chef may not come up with too many tricks to give disgusting people a chance, but the dishes and dim sum that are often eaten in the palace, they make it. It's the second, I'm afraid no one would dare to recognize the first.

This milk roll looks simple, but it takes a lot of effort.

The outer skin is soft and delicious, and the milky aroma is sufficient, while the red bean paste inside should be very dense, with energy in the mouth, without any graininess, all of which require excellent work.

Ning Bao is not like Xu Bao. He always reads books. At this moment, he can only think of one adjective: "It's delicious."

Xu Bao looked at Ning Bao with his chin and smiled. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that his Ning Bao was the cutest child in the world.

Especially when eating, the bulging mouth looks like the little squirrel on the tree when I went to the countryside to see flowers.

Such a good brother just doesn't like to read, he has to practice martial arts and wants to fly.

Speaking of which Xu Bao knew, the only one who could fly was his uncle.

If Ning Bao becomes his uncle, Kong Wu's face is dark and powerful...

Xu Bao was taken aback by his own imagination, and his shoulders shook. He shook his head and drove out the picture in his head, and made his determination not to let his brother practice martial arts.

It would be a shame if such a soft brother became a tough one.

Ning Bao didn’t know what Xu Bao was thinking. He just concentrated on eating the milk roll, halfway through it. Seeing Xiao Jingming staring at him with bright eyes, Ning Bao asked softly, “Can’t you eat? eat?"

Xiao Jingming couldn't understand what he said, so he just laughed.

The palace man on the side hurriedly said: "Young Master Ning, Your Royal Highness is still young and can't eat this." He said that he was going to stop him when Ning Bao insisted on feeding.

However, Ning Bao didn't have the idea of ​​feeding the milk roll to Jingming. He just thought in his heart that although this younger brother could not speak or understand, he would not rush to eat with him, which was good.

At this moment, there was a voice from the palace man asking for peace.

Because of the long distance, Xu Bao didn't hear what they said.

At this moment, when the curtain was picked up, two people came in.

The palace man inside immediately put down what he was holding and prepared to salute. Who knew that the little boy in the lead lost his smile when he saw Xu Bao Ningbao, and strode over in anxious manner, and said, "Who are you?" Let go of my brother!"

The author has something to say: Qi Yun: Why does your total number fall in the black?

Xu Bao: Because it is not good

Qi Yun: Then why don't you keep it for soup?

Xu Bao: Because my sister likes kites

Xiao Hei:???
