Brother Sheng entered the palace on the seventeenth of the first lunar month, and stayed for two nights. On the evening of the nineteenth, he was taken home by the King of Chu. After a ten-day vacation at home, he was carried into the palace again on the twenty-first. On the twenty-fourth day, Feng Zheng came to the Shouwang Palace with his brother Cheng as a guest, and asked Song Jianing to go to the palace tomorrow to greet Queen Li. Song Jianing knew that she wanted to be promoted to a brother, so he happily agreed.

When Zhao Heng came back in the evening, Song Jianing poured tea for him and explained, "Before Brother Sheng entered the palace, sister-in-law Yang specially brought his younger brother and sister to see him in the palace. Today, my sister-in-law discussed with me about entering the palace tomorrow, and I agreed." She sat next to the man and looked at him a little nervously, worried that the prince would be dissatisfied with her self-assertion.

Zhao Heng was teasing his daughter, a three-month-old girl. Her body was several times bigger than when she was born, and she weighed more than ten kilograms. She finally gained weight in her arms. The daughter also began to recognize people. Just now, Zhao Hengcai walked to the bedside, and the little girl turned around with big eyes. When she saw her father, she grinned and hugged her arms and kicked her legs happily.

Hearing what the princess said, Zhao Heng continued to hold his daughter's hand and glanced at Song Jianing. Seeing that she was nervous about such a trivial matter, Zhao Heng nodded. Brother Sheng is his nephew. She can make her nephew happy by bringing her daughter into the palace. Why should he object? However, Zhao Heng was also satisfied that she reported everything to him. First, he liked to hear her talk softly. Second, he occasionally wanted to ask her something. She took the initiative to say it, and he didn't have to think about every word.

Focusing on her, his fingers were suddenly pulled to his mouth by his daughter. Zhao Heng lowered his head, looking at her daughter's gluttonous appearance, smiled, raised her daughter and kissed him. Zhaozhao likes her father and mother to kiss her the most, and waits obediently. After her father's kiss, she smiles happily.

Zhao Heng was on duty at the Hanlin Academy, leaving early and returning late every day. After dinner, the couple teased their daughter together, and when the wet nurse took away the little princess, Zhao Heng's heart was completely focused on his wife, pressing her to love and pity. After giving birth to her daughter, Song Jianing dealt with him more easily than when she first got married, she could spend more time with him, and she could bear more postures.

The only regret is...

After finishing the matter, he lay on his chest, and thought of the long silence just now, Song Jianing sighed silently, it would be great if the prince was willing to say something intimate, he didn't say anything, and she was alone for more than half an hour. I was so embarrassed that he cried, even though he didn't speak, she had already made her unable to tell the difference between east, west, north and west.

Song Jianing woke up the next day, and the prince had already entered the palace.

Song Jianing was not in a hurry, and asked the nursing mother to carry her daughter over. She fed her a meal first, and when her daughter was full, she washed and had breakfast, and then carried her daughter into the carriage. The residence of King Shou was in the outer city, which was far from the imperial city. Song Jianing dropped by the way to the residence of the King of Chu to meet Feng Zheng, and the two sisters and sisters entered the palace together.

The two carriages stopped in front of the palace gate one after another. The wet nurse who was following the car lifted the curtains and took the little princess to get off the carriage first. Song Jianing watched the wet nurse hold her steady, then she leaned out of the carriage, and when she turned around, she suddenly saw a tall figure standing. Come out of the palace. Song Jianing looked up, his eyes circled around the familiar stern face, and he immediately lowered his eyes, secretly depressed in his heart.

How did it happen that I bumped into him again

After getting out of the car, Song Jianing and Feng Zheng met. The two of them walked in front, and the wet nurses followed closely with their two little masters in their arms. Feng Zheng had met Guo Xiao several times, and recognized that the military attache who was getting closer and closer was Guo Xiao. Feng Zheng laughed and joked, "It's a coincidence that you can meet your mother's family." Feng Zheng knew that Song Jianing lived there. It's close to her parents' house, but I go back at most once a month, so I think Song Jianing should be happy to see her brother.

Song Jianing smiled lightly.

Over there, Guo Xiao walked five steps away from the two of them, suddenly stopped, and saluted the two concubines respectfully: "Guo Xiao has seen the two princesses."

Song Jianing is a younger brother and sister, and her sister-in-law is by her side. She did not speak. Princess Chu smiled and said, "Master Guo, please get up."

Guo Xiao nodded, stood up straight, and looked at Song Jianing with a natural expression. In front of outsiders, the two were brother and sister, Song Jianing had to keep smiling, but in Guo Xiao's eyes, she was thinner than the brief meeting last year after a few months' absence, as if she had regained the slender waist she had before giving birth, but her complexion was even brighter. Well, the charming style of the corners of the eyes and the eyebrows is also stronger.

If at the age of thirteen or fourteen she was still a bit like a child, now she is no longer as young as a little girl, more like a fully blooming peony, charming and attractive.

In the presence of outsiders, Guo Xiao didn't look much, and his eyes fell behind Song Jianing. Knowing that one of the wet nurses was holding her daughter, Guo Xiao smiled lightly and said to Song Jianing, "I haven't seen Zhao Zhao for a long time. Would you like to show it to eldest brother?"

Song Jianing's heart tightened. What do you mean long time no see? Ever since he knew that Guo Xiao had been out for a year and still didn't give up on her, Song Jianing seldom returned to the Duke's Mansion. Occasionally he went there while he was on duty. The rest were mothers and their younger brothers who came to see her at the palace. Guo Xiao did not at all. met her daughter.

"Emperor..."

Song Jianing wanted to say that Queen Li was still waiting for them, and there was no delay, but Guo Xiao walked straight to her, and stood beside the wet nurse in a blink of an eye.

Song Jianing pursed her lips, noticing Feng Zheng's smiling expression, the so-called don't reach out and hit the smiling person, she can't stop it any longer.

Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, Guo Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Zhao Zhao. Guo Xiao's movements were fast, like robbing a child, but he was always smiling, so apart from Song Jianing, who knew him well, Feng Zheng and the nurse beside him didn't notice anything wrong, they just thought Guo Xiao was the niece who really liked him. .

Song Jianing felt uneasy, stared at Guo Xiao's hand holding her daughter, and said softly, "Big brother, the Empress is still waiting for us. I'll go back to the house another day. Big brother is more rare, right?"

Guo Xiao didn't seem to hear it, he just looked down at the baby girl in the swaddle, a pretty chubby little girl, she was just a little girl, with a chubby face and watery almond eyes, staring at him without blinking, clear. There is curiosity and strangeness in her eyes, but there is no fear like her mother. Guo Xiao stared at the child, and didn't find any sign of King Shou on the little girl. He smiled slowly, looked sideways at Song Jianing and said, "Zhao Zhao looks like you."

His eyes had no meaning, Song Jianing smiled reluctantly, and reached out to pick up his daughter: "Brother, give it to me."

Guo Xiao didn't insist any longer, took two steps closer, and handed over the swaddle, her tall figure completely enveloped her. Song Jianing didn't like this feeling, she was about to step back while holding her daughter firmly. Unexpectedly, the man's hand brushed off the back of her hand.

In broad daylight, there were so many people around, Song Jianing knew that Guo Xiao couldn't do anything, so she was not afraid, she just felt disgusted and angry, angry at Guo Xiao's boldness, and angry that he didn't take her fame and safety in his eyes at all, What would Wang Ye think if people were to discover his little actions

Song Jianing tried her best not to look at him, but only smiled at her daughter. Only in this way can she control her emotions.

"Please." Guo Xiao stepped aside and asked the two princesses to go first.

Feng Zheng nodded and left first, Song Jianing followed, walking a dozen steps before handing over her daughter to the wet nurse again. The moment she turned around, Song Jianing saw that the man was still standing under the palace wall, standing in the shadows, with his head turned towards her. After the hatred, a chill appeared in Song Jianing's heart again, is Guo Xiao crazy? She is already Princess Shou, what does he want

Song Jianing was afraid, but she couldn't do anything except be more careful. She couldn't tell her mother that her mother would still be a mother and son with Guo Xiao for decades. Now Guo Xiaoming is respectful and filial to her mother. If things are broken, the mother's situation will be difficult. Song Jianing didn't dare to tell her stepfather that one was her own son and the other was her adopted daughter. She was afraid that her stepfather would not believe her, or that she would provoke Guo Xiao first. As for the king...

Song Jianing didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would suspect that she had been taken advantage of by Guo Xiao, or that he would suspect that she and Guo Xiao were unclear.

Song Jianing raised his head, Guo Xiao's deep eyes appeared in his mind, after all kinds of emotions, Song Jianing could only smile bitterly. In her last life, she must have done something heinous to Guo Xiao, otherwise God would not punish her for imprisoning him for seven years in her last life, and in this life she will be subject to Guo Xiao's covetousness, like a shadow.

"mother!"

Unconsciously, the two sisters came to the Central Palace. Brother Sheng had been looking forward to his mother's kiss for a long time, and insisted on waiting in the yard. When he saw his mother, Brother Sheng immediately broke away from the nurse's hand and ran towards his mother eagerly. Feng Zheng had never seen his son run so fast before. Seeing the little shadow getting closer and closer, Feng Zheng's eyes were sore and he almost burst into tears.

Song Jianing stood aside, making sure that Brother Sheng was still the same, neither fat nor thin, she quietly looked at Queen Li not far away, and saw that Queen Li's cheeks were rosy, like a withered flower tree glowing with a second spring, tenderly. Seeing the reunion of Feng Zheng's mother and son, there was no displeasure on his face. But after being reminded by her mother, Song Jianing no longer dared to treat the queen as an ordinary woman.

No wonder the lord told her not to worry, because Queen Li doesn't need to support the princess at all.

From Queen Li, she thought of her own prince, the Hanlin Academy, and Zhao Heng stood alone in front of the railing outside, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. Eunuch Fu stood silently ten steps away, the master and servant were motionless, as still as a picture. After a while, a young eunuch hurried over, Zhao Heng stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had never heard of it, Eunuch Fu quickly greeted him.

The little eunuch whispered a few words.

Eunuch Fu frowned, and when the little eunuch left, he glanced at his master, walked quickly to the master, and said in an inaudible voice: "My lord, the palace where the princess has been advancing for two quarters of an hour, meets Duke Wei at the gate of the palace. The prince of the palace. The prince hugged the princess for a while, and boasted that the prince looked like a princess. The princess was anxious to greet the empress, took the prince and left."

Zhao Heng hummed lightly.

Eunuch Fu secretly raised his head and saw that the master's profile was a bit colder than usual, he hurriedly lowered his head, sweating for the princess in his heart, even though he couldn't figure out what the master was thinking about. The eldest son is the step-brother of the princess, not a brother or sister. If the lord is not close, it's okay to be sullen because the prince hugs the princess

With no clue, Eunuch Fu was helpless. He only hoped that when he returned to the mansion at night, the princess could coax the prince well.
