See the flowers... See the flowers!

As soon as these words came out, not only the Qi family was stunned, but even the people around were making a fuss, like a drop of water dripping into the oil pan, and it exploded immediately.

Ordinary people actually don't understand how to go about the imperial examination. The ordinary people who plan food in the soil don't know a few big characters, and few can write their own names. Naturally, they don't understand what is one grade and two grades. Jinshi is equal to Jinshi. Kind of words, at most listen to the stories told in the obedient book.

However, the three words of No. 2 and No. 2 in the championship are still often heard.

Most of the talented and beautiful women mentioned in the book want to be with Meimei in the end. Most of them have to pass one of these three tests before they can return to their hometown. They all have to wear big red flowers and ride high-headed horses. The most glorious thing is .

It's just that in these three-yearly exams, only three first-class jinshi can be awarded each time, but the competition is for talented people from all over the world, and it is difficult to pass the exam.

Just talking about the places governed by the county magistrate, there are a lot of scholars, but it was more than 20 years ago that he was able to get the jinshi.

Now that Qi Saburo has obtained the jinshi, he still took the test and came back directly, which made everyone's eyes focus on the Qi family.

Liu Shi was also stunned for a moment, and only recovered after Madam Liu called her twice.

She felt that her hands were shaking. Even though she had thought countless times about what a good future her third son would have, even when Mrs. Liu was facing the Buddha, she didn't dare to think so well.

There should also be a limit to dreaming, even if it is a beautiful dream, it is not as real as it is now.

Fortunately, Liu's mind was calm, and he didn't lose his sense of joy like Qi Zhao did.

She just shook her head and calmed down, forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'm bothering Shi Zhixian, and please come to the mansion to sit down."

Shi Tianrui did not refuse, and entered the door with a smile. Most of the officers who followed Shi Tianrui were officers from the county government office, and they were also greeted by the Qi family to go in to rest.

And when the gate is closed, you can still hear the lively discussions outside, and it won't take long for the news to spread throughout the city!

Qi Zhao laughed silly, even if Fang Shi tried to pat him, there was no response.

Qi Dalang's appearance made Fang a little helpless, but he understood his mood, because Fang felt his heart was beating non-stop.

Fang's family is not a scholar, but he has read books. Fang's father is a serious scholar, and Fang has been literate since he was a child. Naturally, he understands better than others how difficult it is to be admitted to the third flower.

For ordinary people, this is like a pie in the sky. Praise and praise are over, but Mrs. Fang has seen her father fail many times, and her eldest brother has also failed in the exams year after year, not to mention You are a jinshi, and you can't even pass the township exam. To be able to get into the first grade of jinshi is really a carp that leaps from the Dragon Gate. You can learn the way of luck and luck.

In the morning he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening he ascended to the Hall of the Son of Heaven.

The third brother of his family looked at the unremarkable mountains and waters, and he was afraid that he would really live these two sentences into reality.

What's more important is that one family is both prosperous and the other is damaged. Now that Qi Ming has achieved fame, he can even get a seventh-rank official position, so their Qi family is a serious official family!

Even if it's not as high as a big family, but in the future, it will be a lot of time.

But in the same way, in the future, they also have to consider Qi Ming's reputation. Fang has read books and knows that many officials are burdened by their families, so they should be more cautious.

Who would have thought to mention these things to Qi Zhao, who would have turned his head to see the silly Qi Dalang smiling.

Fang Shi understands Qi Zhao's joy, and she is also happy in her heart, but it's not a problem to always stand like this.

Holding on to her already bulging stomach, Mrs Fang patted Qi Zhao's arm and said, "Xianggong, you wake up first, Shi Zhixian came to announce the good news and brought a lot of people with him, how are they going to arrange it? I can't. Let people sit and drink tea."

Qi Zhao immediately reacted to her reminder, and nodded again and again: "Yes, be prepared, let someone cook..."

"It's time for dinner? It's too late." Mrs Fang laughed angrily, stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, thinking that her husband was confused now, he turned his head to the old woman and said, "Go, let someone do it. Good tea, bring out good tea, then prepare dinner, all the same."

When the mother-in-law left, Fang saw Qi Zhao staring at her.

This made Mr. Fang a little strange. He looked down at himself and made sure there was no dirt on his body, so he glared back at him: "What are you looking at?"

Qi Zhao coughed lightly, and put his hand on Mrs. Fang's back to make her stand more comfortable, and said in her mouth, "I didn't expect you to be so generous this time, lady."

It sounds like it is more complicated to prepare meals, but if you really manage the housework, you can know that the tea treats are so small, it seems that ten is better than a steamed bun to fill the stomach, but really care about money, Refreshments are expensive.

The usual wife is stingy... No, she is very thrifty, but she would never take these out to entertain guests.

Fang Shi understood what Qi Zhao meant, but was not angry. He helped him walk into the room and said, "Now that the third brother is successful, this is a blessing for the family, just some tea for what?"

Qi Zhao looked at Mrs. Fang and wanted to praise her for being generous, but felt that if she did so, it would seem like she had some dissatisfaction before, so she just hugged Mrs. Fang tightly and said sincerely: " The lady is much smarter than me."

Fang Shi pushed him, with a bit of disgust on Yuanyuan's face, and muttered, "Don't squeeze the child."

Qi Zhao hurriedly took a half step back, carefully supporting Fang's waist with one hand and protecting her stomach with the other, and the two walked towards the back hall together.

Just as Fang thought, the story of Qi Ming's acquisition of Zhongtanhua quickly spread throughout Shiliba Village.

If you change to someone next to you, in addition to being envious, there will be jealousy, and even more people will be jealous. After all, people's hearts are often difficult to satisfy. When you see the power, you can only see the wealth in front of others, but Few people can see the hard work behind it.

But the Qi family is a little different, not only because of the reputation accumulated during the flood relief, but also because most of the Qi family's shops and farms employ local farmers, and there are many relatives in the countryside, and everyone has a little bit of it. Because of their relatives, the Qi family can be regarded as their owner from far or near.

Compared with other wealthy households, the Qi family can be regarded as benevolent.

Not only will they not deduct anything, but they will give more money during the festivals. As long as they have some relationship with the Qi family, they have received their favor to some extent.

Even if not everyone has the benefits of his family in mind, the Qi family is a good owner. If you change the owner, you may not have such a good life, so more people are looking forward to the Qi family's well-being.

The Qi family is stable, and so are those who count on the Qi family to eat.

Now that I learned that the third young master of the host family is going to become an official in the court, everyone is naturally happy, and there are many people who come to congratulate him.

Qi's father was originally preparing for farming on Zhuangzi, but when he heard this, he came back immediately, smiling from ear to ear, and set up a large banquet, which lasted for five days.

It's just that in the past five days, no matter who gave gifts to Qi's family, they didn't accept them, even those from people they knew well before, so I was more careful than before.

Because Qi Yun's letter of good news clearly stated that he was not allowed to receive gifts, especially at this moment, he had to be more careful, and no matter what, he should not dig a hole for Qi Ming.

This kind of debt is the most troublesome. If you receive something, no matter how many people give gifts, you will remember it clearly, especially in rural areas, even if you give an egg, you can talk about it for a year.

When you receive gifts, you are relaxed, and when you look back, you really have something to ask of you. This is a debt that cannot be erased. It is wrong to do it or not.

It's simply wiped out from the root, and no one is looking for trouble.

It seems unnecessary to outsiders to be so cautious, but everyone in the Qi family agreed with Qi Yun's words and did it thoroughly.

But to Qi Zhao, it doesn't matter whether the congratulations are received or not. What worries him is another matter mentioned in Qi Yun's family letter.

That night, Qi Zhao solemnly called Fang Shi and his son Shitou together to discuss, but because it was late, Shishi was already asleep when he came, only Fang Shi patted Shishi on the back to coax him to sleep while looking at Qi Zhao.

Qi Dalang had a straightforward temperament, and he didn't swerve when he spoke, and said directly: "Second brother said that the academy in the capital is better, and they also found a house there, and they thought about taking the stone there to study. , or to be with Xu Bao."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Fang was stunned.

For Fang Shi, his second brother has never been an easy person to get close to.

As a sister-in-law, Mrs. Fang cares about him and is willing to listen to Qi Yun and do something for the family. Just like the last time she exposed the dross of Miss Lu Qi, Mrs. Fang has always been very cooperative with Qi Yun. The whole trust of the family.

But Mr. Fang has always been afraid of him. Before, it was because Qi Yun was seriously ill and his face was as white as a ghost. Anyone who saw him was afraid. Later, it was because Mr. Fang saw Qi Erlang's ability and scheming clearly, and the more he understood, the more afraid he became.

Originally thought that the second brother went to the capital to be a new life, who knew that he could still remember his own stone.

Coming to Beijing to study, this is almost like a pie from the sky, and Fang Shi was a little stunned.

The sleeping stone didn't know what his parents were talking about. He turned his body over and hugged Mrs Fang's arm with a smile on his face, as if he had a sweet dream.

Fang Shi held the stone in his arms and quickly realized how rare this opportunity was.

Being able to study in the capital is definitely better than studying in a private school here, and Ye Jiao's Xu Bao is getting older, so I'm not afraid that Shishi has no playmates, except for leaving my parents, everything else is the best thing. Son.

Qi Zhao also thought of this, so he asked them solemnly.

Seeing Fang Shi's silence, Qi Zhao thought that she felt sorry for her son, and said softly, "If you don't want to, you can do it. Stone is smart, and it's the same wherever he learns."

Fang Shi shook his head and said, "If it were the same, then there wouldn't be so many students sharpening their heads and digging into the capital."

Qi Zhao could hear that his wife had already nodded, but he was reluctant to say it, and his heart softened, and said, "The third brother lived in the academy when the stone was this big, and the second brother comes back every year. , when the time comes, bring the stone with you."

Fang Shi pursed his lips and nodded, but hugged the stone tighter, and said softly, "Let the stone try."

Qi Zhao also squeezed Stone's small hand and nodded slightly.

Two days later, Zhizhou and Shi Tianrui came to the door together, and in addition to congratulating the Qi family for coming out, they also gave them a plaque.

The plaque this time is not a golden plaque, but a special one made by the prefectural government, with four characters written on it—

Clean housekeeping.

These four words were hung on the hall, and no one gave gifts to Qi's house anymore.

Seeing that the parents and officials encouraged them to do so, the people who had some criticism about it also stopped, and they completely stopped trying to get a bargain from the Qi family.

But there will always be people who are not popular.

Fang's eldest sister-in-law, Shen, just smiled and returned with anger. As soon as she got home, the box she was carrying fell to the ground.

Fang Dalang hurriedly picked up the box, patted the soil on it, and said, "If you have something to say, what do you do when you drop something? This is all a fun thing. If it breaks, I don't know what a waste."

Shen shi got angry, pointed at Fang Dalang and scolded: "You useless thing, do you know what your sister is angry with me today?"

Fang Dalang replied angrily: "Isn't it because you didn't send the gift? I said earlier that the masters of Zhizhou and Zhixian have visited their brother-in-law's house specially to reward them, saying that his family has strict rules and is a model family. You still have to carry the ceremony, isn't it a shame to catch up?"

Shen shi blushed angrily, grabbed the tea bowl and was about to throw it at him, but he still felt bad for something, and didn't really throw it out, just shouted: "Who am I doing this for, not for you! If it wasn't for you? If I fail the exams repeatedly, how can I find a relationship to find an errand for you? Look at your sister, one of the two uncles is rich and the other is an official, and his silly son can be sent to the capital, but you Well, I didn't get the slightest bit of cheapness from her, so it's still my own?"

Fang Dalang was even angrier than her when he heard the words: "Who recognized that Shao Zhizhou and the Shao family had the ability, urged me to send money and gifts, and wanted to draw Qi Erlang into the water by swaying my sister's relationship?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen shi didn't know how to reply.

What happened to the Shao family was indeed her idea. Because of Shao Zhizhou's stable status at the time, the Shao family seemed to be very reliable. That's why the Shen family asked Fang Dalang to try to walk away from the Fang family's relationship, and Qi Yun took a step back and let the profits go to him. Shao family, so that Fang Dalang can get some benefits from it.

Who knew that the Fang Shi would never say anything back, and the relationship between the two families was cold.

Later, the Shao family collapsed and Fang Dalang was implicated. Even if Qi Zhao helped and didn't really put them in jail, in Shen's opinion, help among relatives should be due. Now the Qi family has good things but not Allowing himself to be exposed, Shen shi was particularly angry.

She used to be stingy, and she has always been a person who plucked her hair, but Shen Shi still remembered that she was wrong, so she stopped mentioning it, and said instead: "Come on, your sister is unreliable, we It's better to find some other way."

Fang Dalang didn't speak, just looked at her gloomily.

Shen shi got up and paced back and forth around the table in the room, and soon came up with an idea: "My niece received a letter before, saying that she has found support in the capital, and she might be able to walk her way."

Fang Dalang remembered that particularly proud girl Shen, and couldn't help but ask, "Can she really enter the palace?"

If he asked this question in the capital, he would probably laugh at his whimsical thoughts.

That big girl Shen was already famous, she was full of lies, and she was almost sent to the yamen, especially now that the Qi family was rich and the farce in front of the mansion had spread more widely.

Even the common people in the capital usually don't have much fun, and they can tell it if they know one thing, and the story of Lady Shen is a bit strange.

If she is interested, it would be good to wait until the selection is over to go home to be married, at least a girl who has been to the capital, most of whom want it, and a bad reputation in the capital does not affect her going home, as long as she speaks Be tight, and you can always find a good home.

But Miss Shen is not smart enough, but her heart is higher than the sky. She believes in her beauty and is not willing to return to normal. She must go to the palace to be rich and noble.

And she was too embarrassed to tell others about the shameful things, and the letter she wrote home was a good news but not a bad one. How did the Shen family know about this thousands of miles away from the capital? She can enter the palace.

When Mrs. Shen saw her letter when she went back to her parents' house, she had no doubts about Miss Shen. Now, because the Qi family's path could not work out, she could only stare at this niece. He said: "I heard what she said, you can definitely enter the palace. Haven't you heard that the emperor's harem is only a queen," when she said this, Shen shi looked around, and then cautiously continued, "I The niece is as beautiful as a flower, and she will naturally be admired. When she has a position in the palace, it will not be easy for those of us who are close to you to want to be a messenger?"

Fang Dalang hesitated, and looked at Shen shi with suspicion.

Shen shi frowned and glared at him: "Do you understand the wind on the pillow? Besides, who else can you count on besides my niece now?"

Fang Dalang thought for a while, and felt that this was reasonable, so he nodded, but quickly turned to ask: "She is your Shen family, even if it benefits, why give it to me."

Shen shi hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "She wrote back before saying... She lacked money in her hand, so she couldn't clear the relationship, and she also needed some money to enter the palace. My parents' family, you know, there is no spare money, if we are now If I can buy some for her, I will naturally be able to get closer in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the couple did not speak any more.

They have always been extremely stingy, and they have to spend every single piece of money separately. Even relatives have calculated it over and over. Now they suddenly say they want to pay out, they are more or less hesitant.

After sitting for a whole night, when they finally decided to give the money to Shen Da, their faces were like eggplants with frost, which was extremely ugly.

But the money was given, and the two felt relieved.

Especially Shen shi, he only felt that the breath in his heart was finally going to be spit out.

When my niece is chosen, everything will be fine.

What Qi family, what Qi Erlang Qi Saburo, she is not rare!

Qi Yun Qi Ming, who was being talked about by the two couples, had no intention of caring about the emperor's family affairs. They were very busy these days.

Qi Ming was going to play the right thing. Seeing the sky, he had to hold a book even when he was eating.

Qi Yun was going to entertain the guests who came to congratulate him, and he was busy with the shop, so he kept his feet on the ground.

Until the day when Qi Ming entered the palace, and no one came to the door, Qi Yun was able to get a moment of leisure.

Just in time for a sunny afternoon, Qi Yun took Ye Jiao and went to the garden together. He even had someone set up a soft couch in the pavilion. The pavilion was half-blocked by curtains to keep out the wind.

It looks nondescript, but this is in their own home, of course they are tossing around.

The sun shines in through the curtains, and the person who shines is warm.

In the past, Ye Jiao massaged Qi Yun, but this time it was reversed, and Qi Yun helped Ye Jiao massage.

It's just that he didn't press his body, but let Ye Jiao spread his hair. He let Ye Jiao lie on his lap, and then massaged Ye Jiao's scalp lightly or heavily with his fingertips.

This is a very relaxing thing, and it is not the first time between the two of them. They have been familiar with the road for a long time. Qi Yun's strength is well controlled, which makes Ye Jiao narrow her eyes comfortably.

Qi Yun looked at the medicinal herbs in the yard, then looked down at his wife, smiled, and said slowly, "It's been hard for you these days."

What used to be a messy garden is now in good order.

The medicinal materials that were originally in the flowerpots are now well planted in the flowerbeds. Even though they are not as splendid as the peony roses, Qi Yun used to see such a scene in the yard of his hometown, and now he sees it again, Rather, it feels pleasing to the eye.

Even if Ye Jiao didn't have to do it herself like before, the thought that she spent made Qi Yun feel distressed.

Ye Jiao raised her eyes to look at him, her voice soft: "Xiang Gong has also worked hard."

Qi Yun's brows and eyes were soft, he lowered his head and kissed her between her brows, and then took a piece of coconut cake to feed Ye Jiao.

Then the two didn't speak, quietly enjoying the rare afternoon silence.

After Qi Yun finished massaging Ye Jiao, he asked her to sit up, while Qi Yun helped his wife hold her hair.

He didn't know these things before, but like Thrush, he was only familiar with it, and for Qi Yun, dressing up his wife was a rare pleasure, and he learned faster than anything else.

But when he was pulling his hair, Qi Yun talked about another matter: "If Saburo enters the palace tomorrow, he will definitely get an official position, and most of them will stay in the capital."

Even though Qi Yun said these words very calmly and gently, but the little ginseng had been with him for several years, so naturally he could hear that there was not much joy in these words, but rather some worry.

Ye Jiao tilted her head and asked, "Is it better to stay in the capital?"

Qi Yun stood up, looked at the servants who were standing far away, and confirmed that they couldn't hear the conversation in the pavilion. Then he walked up to Ye Jiao, holding a white jade hairpin in his hand, while giving Ye Jiao a hand. The hairpin said in his hair: "It is good to stay in the capital, but if you stay, you will become the sword in the hands of the emperor, and the future honor and disgrace will be tied to that person."

This is not a random guess by Qi Yun, but the result he has thought about for several days.

As a first-class jinshi, among the three, only the third brother of his own family was of ordinary origin, which was strange in itself.

Qi Yun thought that someone would always come to find out about Qi Ming's identity. Who knew that there was no movement in these days except for the congratulations on face.

If no one cared about this young Tanhua Lang, those people already knew it.

Chu Chengyun is really optimistic about his third brother, but he is afraid that he also has the intention of tying Qi Ming. In the future, Qi Ming will really agree with the emperor and become a pure minister.

It is actually extremely difficult for Chunchen to walk this road well.

Qi Yun is not worried that he will be implicated, he is only worried about Qi Ming's future, if he goes wrong, he will be isolated and helpless.

Especially since ancient times, pure officials have to look at the emperor's ability. When he thought of this, Qi Yun frowned: "The previous one who was assassinated and suffered such serious injuries, will there be a root cause?"

Ye Jiao knew that he was talking about Chu Chengyun, so she was a little curious: "Why did the husband care about him?"

Qi Yun is also frank: "I don't care about him, but his lifespan is related to Saburo's official luck. If the previous injury left hidden dangers, Saburo's official position is not worth it."

Ye Jiao tilted her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he definitely doesn't have the root cause of the disease."

The little ginseng had confidence in Baihongguo, and even though what Chu Chengyun ate was just some slag of Baihongguo, it was also a life-saving thing, not to mention the root cause of the disease, I was afraid that the lifespan would not be short.

Qi Yun was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he stopped guessing about it, but settled down and sat next to Ye Jiao, and after a while he said softly: "Sanlang has a pure and kind temperament, he came from the body of a scholar. It's too easy and too easy, and he has a good temper. I'm afraid that he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and the road in the future will be difficult."

Qi Erlang has the temperament to take one step and see three steps, but he can't see Qi Ming's future, so he is a little anxious.

Ye Jiao heard the words and gently held Qi Yun's hand, using the temperature of her palm to warm Qi Yun's slightly cold fingertips.

There are too many, and the little ginseng doesn't understand. What she knows is only some of the most simple truths that belong to the world, and it is particularly straightforward to say: "Xiang Gong, do you think the medicinal herbs I planted are good?"

Qi Yun looked up and said immediately, "Okay."

Ye Jiao leaned on his shoulder with a soft voice: "It's because when I'm planting, I'll pick the tallest and strongest one in a flower pot, only this kind of medicinal flower can grow taller and compete for more Sun and rain."

Hearing this, Qi Yun couldn't help but look down at her.

The little ginseng smiled back, and then said: "This flower still knows how to fight, and the third brother should also understand."

Ye Jiao's original intention was to comfort Qi Yun, but hearing this in Qi Yun's ears, it had a different meaning.

Yes, the flower still knows to work hard, why doesn't his third brother not know

There are thousands of roads, and now it is the best result to be favored by the emperor, and to have fame and fame. The things in this world are just as glorious as there are risks. Saburo is better to retreat.

Moreover, Chu Chengyun has already determined that Qi Ming, if let him retreat, then there is no retreat, only the abyss.

Only then did Qi Yun look at Ye Jiao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't look as transparent as Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang is really smart."

Little Ginseng didn't know that Qi Yun thought so much, she just raised her head slightly, with some smugness and joy, this look is very similar to Xu Bao's appearance after being praised.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun asked someone to carry the child too.

However, what he originally thought was that he had not been with his son and daughter for several days, and now that he was free, Qi Yun was ready to get close to them. Who would have thought that the children would leave him as soon as they came, and instead surrounded Ye Jiao.

Because of the weaning, Ning Bao Ruyi had not seen Ye Jiao for several days, but now that she finally saw her, she was naturally very affectionate.

Needless to say, Ruyi was originally a lively and active little girl. When she saw Ye Jiao, she hugged her tightly, and put her whole body on it with a look of grievance.

And Ning Bao also changed his lazy temperament before, relying on himself to gain weight, he directly took a favorable position, squeezed into Ye Jiao's arms, curled up into a ball, and no one dragged him away.

Seeing that he had nowhere to rely on, Xu Bao didn't fight with his younger siblings, so he stayed by Ye Jiao's side in a brotherly style, holding Ruyi's clothes with one hand and Ning Bao's pants with the other, for fear that they would fall.

The three children invariably kissed Ye Jiao's face, and they were very dependent.

Speaking of which, this should be a warm scene of a good brother and brother protecting his sister, but for Ye Jiao, who was being held down by three children, it was indeed too heavy.

She couldn't help but moved to Qi Yun's place, asking her husband to help share the burden.

Who knew that Qi Yun came over, but instead of hugging the child, he kissed Ye Jiao on the face.

The little ginseng looked at it blankly, and met Qi Yun's calm face, and then heard Qi Yun say, "It's only fair to kiss each other."

Ye Jiao: …

But when Ye Jiao was stunned, Xu Bao's body swayed.

He is the eldest of the three children, but Xu Bao is still a baby. He has small fat arms and short legs, and he will be unstable after sitting for a long time.

There was a mother-in-law and a servant watching, so naturally he couldn't fall.

But Xu Bao obviously forgot that he was still holding two. Ruyi was more dexterous. Seeing Xu Bao was about to fall to the side, he immediately twisted his body and broke free, but Ning Bao was determined to curl himself into a ball, naturally he didn't. Notice Xu Bao's movements.

So, when Xu Bao was hugged firmly by Qi Yun, Qi Yun saw that his eldest son was holding something in his hand.

Look, like little pants.

Then Qi Yun raised his head and met Ning Bao's confused gaze, Bai Shengsheng's chubby legs and round butt...

Ye Jiao hurriedly pulled the blanket from the side to wrap Ning Bao, afraid that the cold would hit him, but she couldn't stop smiling, even the mother-in-law on the side laughed, but they didn't dare to be as blatant as the second young grandmother. I can only turn my back and endure it.

Xu Bao blinked his eyes and said cheerfully, "Brother is really white!"

Ning Bao obviously didn't understand what was going on, so he just yawned, tilted his head, and fell asleep leaning on Ye Jiao.

On the other hand, Xu Bao smiled and said, "When my brother is older, tell him."

Qi Yun touched Xu Bao's head and felt that he should stop Xu Bao.

As a father, he actually understood the temperament of these children very well. Even though the twins couldn't even speak, Qi Yun could see that Ruyi was very much like Ye Jiao and Ning Bao was very much like himself.

His eldest son is fine in everything, but he is a little more upright. If he tells Ning Bao about today's incident in the future, he will not know who the unlucky one is.

But before Qi Yun could speak, he saw Tie Zi hurriedly approaching, he stood outside the pavilion and saluted, "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, Princess Hua Ning had someone send a message.

Ye Jiao asked him to bring it, opened it in her hand and looked at it.

Qi Yun didn't go up to look at it, but waited for her to read it before asking, "What's the matter?"

Little Ginseng looked up at him and said, "Hua Ning said that the Empress wants to invite me into the palace tomorrow for a chat."
