Prince Jin entered the room and saw Jiang Changning sitting on the kang reading a book. He went over and asked, "Are you really angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Jiang Changning glanced at him. "What's there to be angry about? He's still young. When he grows up, he will be able to call me father, mother, and grandmother."
"Of course. Our son is like me, very smart." King Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning laughed, "If you want to praise your son, just praise him. Why do you have to mention yourself as well?"
"Am I not smart? Huh!" Prince Jin went to tease her.
"Stop tickling me, it's so itchy!" The couple rolled into a ball on the kang, laughing and joking.
When Jiang Changning almost got a stitch in her side with laughter, King Jin let her go, "Am I smart?"
"Smart, smart, the prince is very smart." Jiang Changning said with a wicked smile.
"I always feel that you are not praising me." Prince Jin stretched out his hand to tuck the hair hanging on her forehead behind her ears.
Jiang Changning shrank back and avoided his hand.
"Ha ha ha, I'm sure you're not praising me." King Jin threw him down again, "I won't let you off easily this time."
"Ah, no, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was wrong, I was really wrong, ah, hahaha." Jiang Changning laughed so hard that tears came out.
She twisted around in his arms, which aroused Prince Jin's interest. He picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's still daytime, daytime." Jiang Changning tried to dissuade the man, who had finally had a day's rest, from working too hard.
The consequence of her futile efforts was that she was eaten up and successfully missed her lunch, so when she got up she was almost ready for dinner.
The Prince of Jin, who had eaten his fill of meat, leaned against the pillow with his hair loose, looking so elegant and carefree that he was captivating.
Jiang Changning was stunned for a moment, then she quickly looked away after she came to her senses. She didn't want to be tempted by a man's beauty.
But even though she collected it quickly, King Jin still saw it.
The King of Jin was very happy that Jiang Changning was stunned. The corners of his lips curled up, "Princess, are you satisfied with what you see?"
"Puchi" Jiang Changning was amused by his words, "Very satisfied, do you want a reward?"
King Jin stretched out his right index finger and hooked it at her, "Come here."
Jiang Changning shook his head, "Your Majesty should be alone!"
She was almost starving and didn't want to be fried and eaten by him again and again.
"Ningning, do you want me to come over and hug you?" Prince Jin raised his eyebrows, looking ruffian and bad, exuding an alluring charm.
"I'm hungry. Your Majesty, please eat something with me." Jiang Changning said hurriedly, lest this man pounce on his prey like a wolf again.
Jiang Changning lifted the curtain and went out. "Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"
"Ms. Cui cooked a soup with red dates, white fungus and lotus seeds." Xiulan replied.
"Send in two bowls." Jiang Changning went to the side room and brought his son over, to prevent someone from getting excited and doing something wrong again.
"Brat." Prince Jin sat up and said.
"Go to your dad." Jiang Changning put the little guy on the kang and patted his fat butt.
Xiao Ming couldn't walk yet, but he crawled very fast. He climbed into his father's arms in no time and kicked on his legs, trying to climb higher.
"Where are you going, little brat?" King Jin put his hand under his armpit to help him.
"Daddy, Daddy." Xiao Ming danced happily.
Jiang Changning sat aside and watched the father and son play.
Xiao Ming climbed and climbed, and finally caught a bunch of his father's hair. He was so happy, "Ahhhh!"
Then he stuffed the hair into his mouth. Jiang Changning rushed over and grabbed his hand, "Good boy, let go, let go quickly, you can't eat this."
"Is this kid not full?" Prince Jin frowned. These wet nurses were so bold as to starve his son.
"He's not hungry. He's in the oral stage and will put anything he can get his hands on into his mouth." Jiang Changning finally managed to get Prince Jin's hair out of the little guy's hands.
Jiang Changning took him from King Jin's arms and patted his back gently, "Don't cry, I'll give you egg custard later."
The little guy stopped howling and started smacking his lips.
King Jin was surprised and said, "The little brat was happy when he heard there was food."
"Food is the most important thing for people. Being able to eat is a blessing, right, son?" Jiang Changning made a sound with his tongue to tease his son.
The little guy made a sound similar to "yes", as if answering his mother.
"My son is really smart." Jiang Changning glanced at Prince Jin, "Just like his father."
The King of Jin laughed cheerfully, "Like mother, like son."
"A tiger father will have a dog son."
“The disciple is better than the master.”
The couple praised each other while praising their son, and they were interrupted by Xiulan bringing in food.
September is late autumn, the weather is cool and dry.
Red dates, white fungus and lotus seeds soup can moisten the lungs and produce body fluids, nourish yin and nourish the stomach, replenish qi and calm the mind, and strengthen the heart and brain.
However, lotus seeds are cold in nature, so not too many are added. There are only a few in a bowl, and they are stewed until soft.
Seeing that Jiang Changning really liked to eat lotus seeds, the King of Jin said with a smile, "How about I take you to the farm to pick fresh lotus pods next summer?"
"Okay, but is Your Highness free?" Jiang Changning asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No matter how busy I am, I still have time to spend with my wife and children."
"Okay, then next year we'll take Xiao Ming to the farm to pick lotus pods." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
At that time, the couple did not expect that this agreement would be fulfilled ten years later.
The next day, Prince Jin returned to the court, engaging in intrigues and verbal battles with others.
On October 19th, Xiao Ming will be one year old. He has already gone through the state of mourning, and the Concubine Dowager wants to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the first birthday.
Jiang Changning knew that her opposition to this matter was futile, so she followed the concubine to organize the Zhuazhou ceremony.
The concubine specifically told Jiang Changning, "I will personally prepare the things for the Zhuazhou ceremony. You should teach Xiao Minger more in the next two days to prevent him from taking the wrong things."
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Just take whatever he likes. They are all objects with good meanings after all."
Yan Yinyao also interrupted and said, "Xiao Ming'er is so smart, he knows what to take without being taught."
Jiang Changning asked with a smile: "What did Mi'er grab during the one-year-old celebration?"
"I grabbed the book in my left hand and the pastry in my right hand." Yan Yinyao said with a smile.
"Our Mi'er turns out to be a little talented girl." Jiang Changning hugged Zeng Mi over.
Yan Yinyao curled her lips, "What kind of girl is she? When I asked her to learn to read, she acted like a spoiled brat. She really cares about food."
"Mi'er is still young, why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Changning put down Zeng Mi who was struggling to find Xiao Ming.
Zeng Mi rushed to the Luohan couch and called sweetly, "Brother."
Xiao Ming, who was playing with a cloth ball, took a moment out of his busy schedule to look up at Zeng Mi and show her a bright smile with four baby teeth, "Sister."
His words were very clear, Zeng Mi happily kicked off his shoes, and climbed onto the Luohan couch, "Brother, I want to play with you."
The court was busy with political affairs, and the King of Jin left early and returned late every day. On this day, Jiang Changning specifically reminded him, "The day after tomorrow, the 19th, is your son's one-year-old ceremony, so don't be absent."
Prince Jin leaned over and pecked her on the lips, "Don't worry, I'll keep this important matter in mind, and I'll definitely come back to be with you and be with our son."
