Tang Songnian and Ji Yuan exchanged views on the current situation of the imperial court. Seeing that the time was almost there, they were about to leave and return to the palace, when the crown prince came with his three sons-in-law.
Tang Songnian naturally followed him to pick up the car.
The prince did not expect to see an unfamiliar face in Ji Yuan's study, and was a little surprised: "Who are you?"
Tang Songnian hurriedly saluted: "Tang Songnian, magistrate of Anping County, He'an House, before the minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The prince looked at him carefully for a moment, and finally realized: "I just remember, you are the one who was responsible for the inventory of military resources under the Pingzhi account..."
"It's Wei Chen."
The prince smiled and said, "I remember that Pingzhi still recommended you to become an official in the dynasty."
"Your Highness has a good memory." Tang Songnian said respectfully.
The prince briefly asked him a few words about his time as magistrate of Anping. Tang Songnian answered truthfully, and the prince nodded frequently.
Ji Yuan on the side just smiled and didn't speak.
The three little highnesses who followed behind the father were ten years old, eight years old, and five years old, all from the crown princess. After the prince finished his question, he led them to meet Mr. Ji, who would be in charge of teaching them their studies.
In that room, Xu Junyao was held by Ruan's hand and watched Madam Ji hurried out to pick up the car. Because the prince was not the first to come back to Ji's mansion, everyone in the mansion was not flustered. Everything was in order, just waiting for the prince. When discussing important matters with Ji Yuan in the study, call the three little princes to go elsewhere and serve them well.
Xu Junyao followed Ruan's side, and followed the crowd to salute the three distinguished children. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the crowd to kneel down and salute, she secretly raised her eyes to look at the youngest figure, who happened to be looking at him. , the eyes of the two were facing each other, and she hurriedly showed the smile that she thought was the best looking at each other.
The five-year-old Zhao Yuanyou was stunned. At this time, everyone who was kneeling on the ground had been called by his elder brother. He wanted to find the little girl who smiled at him just now, but there were so many tall and short figures in the room. Completely covered up the little girl.
He was a little disappointed, and he didn't notice what the brothers around him and Mrs. Ji said, just subconsciously followed behind them across the threshold and into the garden filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Xu Yunyao was followed behind by Ruan's holding hands, raising her eyes to look at Zhao Yuanyou's figure from time to time, frowning slightly in distress.
Mrs. Ji's garden was arranged by Mrs. Ji herself, and many of the flower species were also found and planted by her. Now it is the season of blooming flowers, and the garden is in full bloom, scrambling to show off her graceful beauty to everyone.
The ten-year-old prince's eldest son, Zhao Yuande, looked a little impatient. He was no longer a child, so he couldn't bear to be with these women and children anymore, but his father and Mr. Ji had something to discuss, so he had to be patient and follow these women and children. and little furry boy.
Eight-year-old Zhao Yuanchang didn't want to follow his brother anymore, so he simply ran to the place he was interested in. Mrs. Ji hurriedly ordered the maid to follow him, and naturally arranged for her nephew and nephew to accompany her.
Zhao Yuande also took the opportunity to express his desire to look around.
Mrs. Ji naturally knew that these two masters were impatient to deal with their women and children. After all, children of their age all think like this. They feel that when they grow up, they are no longer the hairy children among the other women.
She smiled and made arrangements thoughtfully, trying not to let people disturb their interest, but meeting their needs in a timely manner.
The other children immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, the older ones followed Zhao Yuande, and the rest were mostly around Zhao Yuanchang, who was obviously easier to get along with.
Among the many children, except for Xu Yunyao, Zhao Yuanyou is the youngest. Several of the Ji family's nephews and nephews were planning to come and follow Zhao Yuanyou, but on second thought, this kind of noble but young master is the most important. It was difficult to serve, so after hesitating for a while, he went after Zhao Yuanchang and the others.
As a result, there were only three or four little girls with Zhao Yuanyou, among them Xu Yunyao and Liang Yuyan.
In all honesty, Liang Yuyan is more willing to follow Zhao Yuanchang, who has a good temperament and is easier to get close to, but she has always been a considerate and thoughtful girl, and naturally she has to help her aunt to greet the distinguished guests, so she stayed.
Seeing that she had stayed, Xu Yunyao immediately sounded the alarm.
Yes, yes, these two husbands and wives who have been serious in their previous lives! She remembered that Liang Yuyan was one year older than Zhao Yuanyou, and girls grew up faster than boys when they were young, so at this time Liang Yuyan was half a head taller than Zhao Yuanyou, and she would be willing to accompany the obvious Her young child, could it be that she fell in love with Zhao Yuanyou at this time
Thinking of this possibility, the alarm bell in her heart sounded even louder.
She carefully observed the 'hair-tie couple from the previous life' back and forth, and didn't notice anything unusual. Apart from the initial greeting and greeting, the two never said a word to each other. Zhao Yuanyou even focused his attention on the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, ignoring the people around him.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on a large smooth stone in the garden, holding her cheeks to look at the previous life 'Emperor's Husband' who was gradually falling behind everyone, she felt extremely distressed.
"Yaoyao, what are you thinking about?" Yan Wu got out of her longevity lock at some point, and sat with her chin up like her, looking at her with sparkling eyes and asked.
Xu Yunyao was quite used to her sudden discovery over the past year, and naturally she would not be frightened.
In the original three chapters of the contract, except for the second clause, the other two words were well followed. At least on the surface, it seemed that she no longer spied on her inner thoughts from time to time. She turned a blind eye to the act of venturing out in her name.
And seeing that Yan Wu basically only appeared at night, and gradually changed to how she dared to come out and wander a few times even in the sunny day, she became more and more suspicious of what species the other party was.
After all, she had never heard of a ghost who was not afraid of the day.
'I was wondering how I could leave a deep and good impression in his heart. It would be nice if I could hook his heart all at once. ' she said silently in her heart.
If the other party is an adult man, and she is also a grown-up girl, there are naturally countless ways to hook him up and cultivate a relationship with him. After all, I have been with this person for many years in my last life, so I don't know his temperament. 100%, 70% or 80% are also there.
It's a pity that there's only a little boy in front of her, and she's just a little baby, so she can't use all kinds of seduction methods!
More importantly, except for Little Tang and Little Moonlight, she has never gotten along with other children. She doesn't know what children like and how they can leave a deep and indelible impression on a person. .
The moonlight boy is withdrawn and has a strong sense of vigilance, and has the impression of a previous life that she would not use any means against him, so she has no reference to the current situation.
As for Mr. Tang, if she dared to do anything strange to him, that little bastard would definitely wave a small handkerchief around her and keep calling 'Bao Ya is back'.
Yan Wu didn't expect that she was actually worried about this, so she asked tentatively, "Does Yaoyao like this little highness?"
like? Xu Yunyao was stunned. His expression suddenly became a little dazed.
like him? You should like it, right? If she didn't like it, how could she have been married to him for so many years in her previous life, and how could she have spent so much effort to keep his love.
This should be a favorite, right
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yan Wu didn't care, and also frowned a little distressedly: "Have you left a deep and good impression? This is so difficult!"
The next moment, she rolled her eyes and suggested excitedly, "Why don't you go and kiss him? He will be deeply impressed by being kissed by such a good-looking girl."
Xu Yunyao glared at her: "Too bad idea!"
Yan Wu pouted a little aggrievedly, and whispered: "Is it a bad idea? I think it's very good! Isn't it a good thing to be kissed by a good-looking little girl? Wouldn't it make a deep impression? You can also take the opportunity to rely on him to cultivate feelings. Woolen cloth!"
Huh? Seems like a good idea...
Xu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and wiped away this ridiculous thought.
It's really almost being misled by A Wu, this stupid idiot!
Yan Wu's eyes suddenly lit up again: "Yaoyao, why don't you look for some playbooks? I heard that there are many playbooks written by talented people and beautiful women who have gone through hardships and finally grow old together, let's look for some, learn from middle school, definitely There will be gains.”
Xu Yunyao rolled her eyes at her.
If this palace wants to seduce men, does it still need to read a playbook
Zhao Yuanyou has always been a quiet child who doesn't talk much. He stared blankly at an unknown flower in full bloom. He didn't even notice that Liang Yuyan, who was beside him, took the initiative to talk to him. The little girl on the boulder.
It's her, the little girl who just smiled at her is her!
He had already recognized the little girl just now, and couldn't help but glanced at her secretly again curiously.
With a round face and round eyes, they are round wherever they look. They look better than many sisters and sisters in the palace, but they are fatter than them. But it's cuter this way.
It's just... His face suddenly became a little dazed.
It's just that she shouldn't look like this... Such an inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was going on. It was such an idea that suddenly appeared.
He couldn't help but take advantage of the opportunity to look at the flowers to secretly look at the round-faced fat girl holding her cheeks.
After such a few back and forth, Liang Yuyan also noticed his movements and what he was thinking about over there. Xu Yunyao's face changed slightly. After all, he was still a child, and his ability to cover up was not yet at home. Feeling a little unhappy.
Since he has that little girl to accompany him, he doesn't have to stay here and make fun of himself, he might as well follow that good-natured Highness. The little girl made up her mind, found a reason and left.
The other two little girls also followed her example and searched for a reason, chasing Zhao Yuanchang and others away.
Zhao Yuanyou didn't notice them either. He secretly looked at Xu Yunyao several times, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards her with gritted teeth.
He didn't know what was going on, but subconsciously he wanted to get close to this little girl, but at the moment he was just obeying his inner desire.
Seeing him walking towards her, Xu Yunyao quickly looked around and found that there was no one else around, not even a better view. She didn't understand why the other party came here for a while.
When the little figure got close, she calmly got up. Anyway, they were both children, and they were not very strict with etiquette.
Seeing that the little boy came over, Yan Wu hurriedly stepped aside. She doesn't want to let people pass through her body again, that feeling is too strange and uncomfortable, so she doesn't want to experience it again!
"You, what's your name?" Zhao Yuanyou asked aloud, suspicious for a moment.
Suddenly seeing a leaf on the other's shoulder, he stretched out his hand and leaned forward slightly: "You have a leaf attached here, I will help you take it off..."
Before he finished speaking, his lips touched the soft and warm face of Xu Yunyao, who was staggering in his footsteps.
The two were stunned for a while, Xu Yunyao was the first to react, and only quickly glared at Yan Wu, who had just pushed her from behind, and somehow she was fascinated, and actually said to her according to Fang Cai Yan Wu. to do those words.
She immediately covered the half of her face that she accidentally kissed, her big eyes flickering, and the image inside looked like a star was shining, her voice was soft, but full of coaxing: "My mother said that there is a difference between men and women, If you are kissed, the other party will be responsible, and you will marry her as a daughter-in-law in the future. You just kissed me, and you will not be able to marry anyone else..."
Zhao Yuanyou was frightened by her words and opened his mouth for a long time, unable to react.
"But, but... But I didn't mean to!" He defended in a low voice.
"Whether it's intentional or not, it's the same. If you don't believe me, go back and ask your parents!" Xu Yunyao still bit her head and continued to speak according to what Yan Wu said.
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it, rely on him, first rely on him from the heart!" Yan Wu on the side waved her fist and said excitedly.
Naturally, Zhao Yuanyou didn't know that there was such a 'person' making trouble. Hearing what the little girl said, he was even more distressed: "But, but..."
"Nothing is impossible, anyway..."
"Baby!"
Before Xu Yunyao finished speaking, she suddenly heard someone call her nickname, and when she looked back, she saw a little boy appeared in the flowers, looking at her with disapproval.
He, He Shaoting? She widened her eyes in disbelief.
How could the little moonlight boy appear here? Didn't he go with his aunt
Before she could think about it, He Shaoting had already walked to her side, bent slightly, met her surprised gaze, and taught seriously, "Baoya, what you said just now is wrong, to a young man like you. As a child, these are all insignificant, so don't worry."
Xu Yunyao was dumbfounded: When was Ben Gong worried? What should I worry about
But the little moonlight boy in her heart suddenly appeared, and she was too embarrassed to do anything else, she could only pretend to be ignorant and look at him with blinking eyes.
He Shaoting hesitated for a moment, but he still stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and then turned to Zhao Yuanyou, who was already a little dazed, and said, "Bao Ya is still a very young child, she doesn't understand anything, what she said just now. Don't take it to heart. Just like when you were younger, there will be many people kissing you, men, women, adults, children, all the same, it has nothing to do with who you want to marry in the future."
Zhao Yuanyou understood the last sentence, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
"Oh, what, what a waste of my and Yaoyao's efforts!" Yan Wu muttered unhappily.
Xu Yunyao glared at her secretly again, telling her to shut up quickly, just now she suddenly pushed herself, this account has not yet been settled with her!
Yan Wu shrank her neck and looked pitiful, but she didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
However, she suddenly had a feeling in her heart that Yaoyao seemed to care about this brother Ting a little bit, and as for why, she didn't dare to spy on her mind.
He Shaoting pursed his lips and looked at the little girl beside him. He only felt that although this little girl sometimes shriveled, she was still a child who listened to her parents very much, even if she herself did not understand the teachings of her parents. What are the meanings of those words, but I still keep it firmly in my heart, otherwise I would not have said such a thing.
Suddenly, Gong E came to look for the scattered little Highness. Seeing that Zhao Yuanyou was here well, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to salute, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is ready to return to the palace."
Zhao Yuanyou glanced at Flickering Flickering with bright eyes, but she was a little girl with an ignorant face. Although she was a little happy, the strange thought of 'she shouldn't look like this' came up again.
"I'm back, is your name Baoya?" he asked softly.
Xu Yunyao nodded.
Zhao Yuanyou glanced at her again, and then left at Gong E's urging.
Xu Yunyao looked at the back of his leaving and shook her head secretly.
Her 'emperor's husband' really has such a soft and talkative temperament when urinating. As long as he doesn't offend him, he can't be more talkative. In other words, the bad thing is that her temperament is a little cowardly, otherwise she would not be able to interfere in the affairs of the state as a concubine later.
This kind of temperament is actually not suitable for being an emperor, but he has a good life. The first two brothers broke their heads one by one over the dragon chair, and none of Emperor Taizong's sons were too good, so he taught him to pick them up. A huge bargain. Before his death, Emperor Taizong also managed everything quite properly, leaving him a peaceful and prosperous age and a group of loyal ministers and generals.
Although the courtiers also have their own careful thoughts, but generally they are looking forward to the good of the court. On the contrary, courtiers with different minds were always arguing in the court hall and refused to give in to each other. Instead, the decision-making power of everything was handed over to the cowardly emperor.
The courtiers are loyal but able to check and balance each other. It has to be said that Emperor Taizong is indeed a well-intentioned son for his son.
She calmed down, put these down for a while, raised her face and asked He Shaoting next to her, "Brother Ting, why are you here?"
He Shaoting was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Bao Ya still remember me?"
"I know, you're Brother Ting." The little pear vortex beside Xu Yunyao's cheeks flickered and answered in a crisp voice.
He Shaoting couldn't help feeling happy.
Children are forgetful, especially a child as young as her. She has been away for more than a year. She didn't expect that she not only recognizes herself, but can even call her own name.
Baoya is indeed a very smart child!
He couldn't help rubbing her head again: "My aunt was invited here to teach embroidery, and I came with her."
As for the rest, he didn't say much. After all, the little girl was still such a small child and didn't know much.
Xu Junyao looked at him carefully, and saw that his eyebrows were all peaceful and soothing, without the slightest bit of vigilance and hostility. From a person's eyes, he could spy on his recent days. From this, she knew that his aunt was waiting for him. He is not bad.
"Your aunt is amazing!" She said in a childish tone with a look of admiration.
"Baoya will study hard in the future, and she will be as good as her aunt in the future." He Shaoting encouraged her.
Xu Yunyao smiled sweetly at him.
The atmosphere between the two was just right. Mrs. Ruan took Brother Zhou and hurried to find her daughter. When she saw that the little girl was safe and sound, she was relieved. When she looked at the child who was talking to her daughter, she was surprised and happy: "Isn't this brother Ting?"
Brother Zhou also saw the old friend, broke free from his mother's hand and ran over happily: "Brother Ting, are you here to find me?"
He Shaoting felt their joy and felt warm in his heart.
It turned out to be such a good feeling to be remembered...
In the end, it was in someone else's house. Mrs. Ruan didn't say much, just asked He Shaoting a few words, and then said to Mrs. Ji with an apologetic expression: "This child is familiar with our children, and we have separated these days. I didn't expect to meet at the mansion, it's really a coincidence."
Mrs. Ji also smiled and said, "This child's aunt has a superb skill in double-sided embroidery. After I heard about it, I specially invited her to the mansion and asked her to teach her. I never thought that these children had such a fate. ."
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Mrs. Ruan asked about He Shaoting's current address, and then left with a pair of reluctant children.
"Brother Ting, you must remember to come and play with me!" In the distance, Brother Zhou's advice came, He Shaoting pursed his lips, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.
The performance of the sons in the Jifu garden has been reported to the prince long ago by the palace servants, especially Xu Yunyao's childish words, the prince couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
Tang Songnian's daughter? What an interesting little girl.
He thought of Wei Liang who had been impeached earlier, and his eyes gradually became darker.
At that time, Sui Yuan had said to him that Tang Songnian was a meticulous person, and he was quite skillful in dealing with things. Staying in the army would not be able to exert his strengths. Can be used by His Highness.
