King Qin's banishment to the capital caused a great uproar, but no matter how big the waves were, there would be a day when they calmed down. The scorching heat hit in the blink of an eye, and the scorching sun was shining in the sky. There was a heavy rain in mid-June, and there was a flood in a low-lying area in the east of the city. In the early morning, Emperor Xuande ordered the Ministry of Households to pay money and the Ministry of Industry to repair the houses for the affected people. The decree spread to the people, and the people praised the emperor. Come, they all say that they have met a good emperor who cares about the people.
The younger brother wanted to "treason". After the king of Qin was demoted, Emperor Xuande pretended to be unhappy for more than a month. Now he is praised by the people. After the rainstorm, the prefectures and counties in the Yellow River area that often burst their embankments are also safe and sound. There is no rumor. When the disaster happened, Emperor Xuande had reason to be happy, the dark clouds on his face swept away, and he showed joy again.
The emperor was happy, and the civil and military officials and concubines in the harem finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On the Qixi Festival, Queen Li held a flower banquet in the Central Palace, and the four daughters-in-law outside the palace received invitations.
Song Jianing has been in a good mood recently. At the end of June, the prince sent a letter saying that he would be back before the Chinese New Year. Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and he will be able to see his prince in seven days at the latest. After being separated for half a year, Song Jianing missed him every day, wanted him to talk to her word by word, wanted him to hold her hand to teach her to paint, wanted him... He pressed on her at night and wanted her profusely.
Anyway, I just want to, I want the lord to come back soon.
After thinking about it, she regained her senses. Song Jianing lowered her head to wash her daughter's face, but where is the figure of her daughter in front of her? Song Jianing looked up in astonishment, and saw that her daughter had crawled into the bed at some point, and sat firmly in the corner. Seeing her mother looking at her, Zhao Zhao shouted excitedly and anxiously, bent over and grabbed the quilt and covered her body randomly. Just don't wash your face.
The nine-month-old girl is getting bigger and bigger.
Song Jianing was amused by her daughter's cute appearance, so she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she put down the wet towel, wiped her hands, and then went to grab her daughter. The bed is so big, of course Zhaozhao can't hide from his mother's bad hands, but Zhaozhao doesn't like washing his face, so he twists his fleshy little body and hums. Song Jianing let her daughter sit on her lap and coaxed earnestly, "Zhaozhao is obedient. After washing your face, mother will take you into the palace to find brother to play with."
Zhaozhao looked up at his mother.
Song Jianing asked with a smile, "Do you want brother?"
Zhaozhao can already understand the familiar titles such as brother, grandfather, and grandmother. Knowing that looking for brother means going out to play in a carriage, the little girl blinked and finally calmed down. Song Jianing hugged her daughter, who was getting smarter and smarter, and gently wiped her face and hands, and then smeared on the anti-drying rose-scented face cream. The prince was not at home, and Song Jianing was alone with his daughter. He tried every means to find something for himself. On that day, he deliberately put several kinds of floral face butter in front of his daughter, and her daughter picked the rose fragrance by herself.
After washing her face, she changed her daughter into a little red shirt with begonia red, her thick hair was tied into the sky at the top of her head, and she held her in front of the mirror to make her stinky. Song Jianing proudly took her daughter and set off. As usual, I went to the Chu palace to wait for Feng Zheng. The car stopped in front of the palace gate, Song Jianing didn't get out of the car, he lifted the curtains, and the two of them looked out together.
After a while, three figures came around behind the shadow wall, Feng Zheng headed, the wet nurse followed Brother Cheng, and there was another maid. Seeing the girls in the carriage, Feng Zheng smiled softly.
Zhaozhao recognized the eldest aunt, and her almond-eyed smile turned into a crescent moon. Song Jianing sighed inwardly as she saw Feng Zheng's increasingly reduced face and waist. After King Qin's accident, although the king of Chu lifted the ban, the man who used to be bright and bold suddenly became silent. Song Jianing went to the palace of the king of Chu as a guest and met the king of Chu twice.
The King of Chu was depressed, Feng Zheng was worried about her husband, and it was no wonder that he was not thin.
Song Jianing felt pity and returned pity, but she didn't know what to do. Feng Zheng's heart was tied to the King of Chu. As a younger brother and sister, she couldn't talk to the King of Chu, so she could only pin her hopes on her own lord.
After a simple greeting, the two sisters entered the palace together.
Princess Rui and Princess Gong had mothers-in-law on them, and they came earlier. Princess Rui was pregnant again. Concubine Wu loved it so much, she just hoped that her daughter-in-law would give her a fat grandson. Princess Gong, Li Mulan's stomach still didn't move, but she couldn't blame her. Prince Gong followed King Shou to patrol the Yellow River and didn't return for half a year. If Li Mulan was pregnant, Concubine Hui would cry.
"Our Zhaozhao is getting prettier as we get older. When your father comes back, you will definitely be reluctant to let go." Since Queen Li chose King Chu, she naturally prefers King Shou's family, and she is more fond of Zhaozhao than Sister Kang of Prince Rui's mansion, but Kang The elder sister was raised by Princess Rui to be timid and accepting of life, and she is indeed not as good-looking as Zhao Zhao, who loves to laugh.
Zhaozhao didn't understand what his father was, so he laughed when he heard the word "beautiful".
Brother Sheng and Brother Cheng were around the grandmother, and they all liked this younger sister.
A room of children and family members were chatting lively, and a little eunuch suddenly walked in, looked at Song Jianing and Concubine Hui, he smiled and said to Queen Li: "Niangniang, the third and fourth highnesses have just returned to Beijing, and they are now in the midst of worshipping the government. The palace is restored."
The hall was quiet for a few moments, and then Empress Li, Concubine Wu and others looked at the two princesses who were alone in the empty boudoir. They saw Li Mulan was calm and calm, and there were no waves in her eyes. She has nothing to do with her, Princess Shou Song Jianing is completely different. Her cheeks are peach blossoms, and her almond eyes are moist and bright. She bows her head shyly, unable to hide her joy.
Song Jianing was more than happy. Hearing that his prince had returned, Song Jianing's heart had already flown to Chongzheng Hall to find him.
In the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Heng handed a letter to the emperor, which recorded the situation of the dykes in various prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yellow River, and explained the corrupt officials and worthy officials who were punished during this trip. Finally, Zhao Heng also pointed out how to prevent floods and build dykes. Five recommendations were made. The elegant and elegant handwriting and the political opinions of Jin Yuliangyan made Emperor Xuande more satisfied.
King Gong couldn't write, but he was able to speak well and vividly described the people's gratitude and praise to the emperor. This year, the heaven was beautiful, and there was only one small breach along the Yellow River. The people praised God and Emperor Xuande. Emperor Xuande's Longyan Dayue, in front of King Chu and King Rui, gave his two younger sons a generous reward.
King Gong smiled happily, and Zhao Heng returned to his usual indifferent expression after thanking him.
Emperor Xuande still had a memorial to be approved, and told his sons to retire first, and then hold a big banquet to celebrate the Zhongyuan Festival.
The four princes walked out of the Chongzheng Hall one after another.
Because King Shou and King Gong returned to the capital, Queen Li was sympathetic to the two princes, and dismissed the banquet ahead of time, and sent the maids over to inform them, telling the princes to wait a moment, and the princesses came over immediately and returned to the palace with them. That being the case, the four brothers walked to the side of the palace wall and waited. Knowing that the brothers of King Chu and King Shou had something to say, King Rui and King Gong walked away knowingly.
"Big brother." Zhao Heng looked at his taciturn brother and spoke with difficulty. The elder brother has changed, like a sturdy horse, suddenly lost his fighting spirit.
The King of Chu patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said with relief, "I did a good job, and I have grown up." My younger brother is more capable than he imagined, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
The brothers didn't say anything, but they could see each other's heart. The King of Chu knew that his younger brother was worried about him, but he really had nothing to worry about. The father found that the uncle was guilty. He had a wife and son to take care of. Suffering but acting as usual.
The father emperor really valued him and was willing to tolerate all his bad habits. The king of Chu also wanted to respect the father emperor as before, but he couldn't. Has there been a brother who framed his brother for treason? Maybe there is, but the King of Chu doesn't look down on this kind of person. He has his own siblings. Looking at the younger brother in front of him, the King of Chu is more and more chilled when he thinks of the unfeeling of the father and the uncle.
"I'll accompany your daughter-in-law today, and I'll drink with your elder brother tomorrow night." Hearing the laughter of the female relatives, the King of Chu smiled lightly.
There are many people in the palace, so this is the only way. Now that he has made an agreement with his brother, Zhao Heng turned sideways and looked at the female relatives. He wanted to see his woman, but only saw his sister-in-law and Princess Rui walking side by side in front, followed by two people. The tall and heroic one should be Li Mulan from the fourth family, and the other... was blocked by his sister-in-law, revealing only a light blue color. skirt.
Zhao Heng frowned imperceptibly, followed behind his brother, and walked over there.
Song Jianing had a chance to walk in the front. Princess Rui jokingly asked her to go over. Song Jianing was embarrassed and insisted on walking behind in the order of the concubines, but her eyes were always aimed at the front, and she could see her own prince from a distance. Standing tall beside the King of Chu, he hadn't seen him for half a year, and he was as tall as the King of Chu!
As he grew taller, he couldn't tell from his body, and his fair and handsome face was obviously tanned. After all, he had been running around outside, just in time for the scorching sun. But the tanned prince is equally handsome, not so immortal, but he looks more dignified and stable, and the prince's aura is even more powerful. Noticing that the man was turning around, Song Jianing retracted her gaze in time, her heart beating wildly.
The men came to pick up their wives again, remembering the situation when only the prince stood there and didn't move, Song Jianing spontaneously slowed down, and pretended to see the daughter in the nurse's arms, in order to hide the embarrassment of not being picked up by her husband. She turned her back to the front, only her daughter was in her eyes, the wet nurse was holding the chubby little princess, watching the prince getting closer, the princess was still foolingly teasing her daughter, the wet nurse looked at the prince again, and then cleverly did not remind her.
She has a man at home and knows what a surprise is, especially when the prince stopped behind the princess and waited silently, the nurse became more calm.
Song Jianing guessed that the time was almost up, and was about to turn back when she suddenly saw her daughter's big watery eyes slanted behind her, as if looking at something intently. Song Jianing's heart moved, and she was shocked to find that there was a longer figure next to her shadow on the ground!
Song Jianing's heart beat fast, and her face quickly turned red. She turned around stiffly and nervously. After half a year, she finally saw that indifferent and handsome face up close again.
"My lord, my lord..." Song Jianing called out nervously. He clearly thought so, but now he felt a little unfamiliar.
Zhao Heng also felt unfamiliar, because the little princess in front of him was more beautiful, more charming, and more charming than he remembered.
"Go back to the house." His gaze stayed on her plump lips for a moment, Zhao Heng passed her, and took his daughter into his arms.
