Jiang Changning had just finished teaching his son, and Emperor Xuanzhi had also come to an end of his discussion with the ministers. "Okay, think about it carefully and draft a set of rules for the court discussion."
"Yes, we'll take our leave!" The three officials bowed and left.
Emperor Xuanzhi was not in a hurry to return to Qiyuan Palace, and asked Chang Youzhong to bring the memorial for his review.
The prince left the capital, and he had to read some unimportant memorials himself.
Compared with the busy life of Emperor Xuanzhi, Jiang Changning's life was more relaxed. Since the empress dowager was not in the palace, she felt less burdened.
A month later, a letter and two carts of things were received from the prince.
After reading the prince's letter, Emperor Xuanzhi smiled and said, "The boy's writing is quite good."
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a good eye and selected a good teacher for him. If the teacher teaches well, the student will naturally learn well."
"My Ningning is getting better and better at praising people." Emperor Xuanzhi reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
"Hiss, oh, Your Majesty, I'm praising you, but you don't like it. The emperor's will is really hard to predict." Jiang Changning covered her face and said coquettishly.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Emperor Xuanzhi saw tears in her eyes, "Does it hurt? Let me see."
As he spoke, he walked forward and pulled away Jiang Changning's hand, and saw a large red spot on her fair face.
"Oh, I was too heavy-handed. Ningning, don't be upset. How about this, pinch me, pinch me hard."
Jiang Changning pulled his hand away, "I won't pinch you, you're so hard, it hurts my hand."
"If I'm not hard, you'll be sad." Emperor Xuanzhi teased.
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Changning glared at him. What a guy. The longer they have been together, the more they speak without restraint.
"My Ningning's skin is so smooth that it can be blown away." Emperor Xuanzhi lifted her chin and kissed her on the other cheek. "It even has its own body fragrance."
Jiang Changning glanced at him and called Xiulan, "Bring in the black-stalked ointment."
Xiulan came in with the plaster and was surprised when she saw Jiang Changning's face. "Madam, how did your face get hurt?"
"It was just an accidental bump. It's okay. Just apply some medicine." Jiang Changning glanced at Emperor Xuanzhi who was sitting on the couch.
Shucui brought in some water, and Xiulan dipped a handkerchief in the water and carefully wiped her face.
"I'll apply the ointment to the Empress." Emperor Xuanzhi took the ointment with great interest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's not necessary. Let Xiulan and the others do this. Could you please go next door and see if your little princess has woken up?" Jiang Changning found something for Emperor Xuanzhi to do to save him from bothering her.
Emperor Xuanzhi saw that she was alert as if facing a great enemy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go see my little princess."
After he left, Jiang Changning quickly put his face in front of Xiulan, "Xiulan, help me apply the medicine quickly."
No matter how strong Emperor Xuanzhi's grip was, he would not use all his strength when pinching her face. Or maybe she took good care of herself, so the pinch broke her skin.
The ointment feels cool and refreshing. When I apply it on my face, my slightly hot face feels refreshed.
After Jiang Changning applied the medicine, he was about to go see the father and daughter, then he heard the wet nurse scream.
"What happened?" Jiang Changning hurried into the room and saw that Emperor Xuanzhi's clothes were wet. "This is..."
"The little princess peed all over me." Emperor Xuanzhi said with a smile.
Jiang Changning snapped his fingers at his daughter, "Good girl, help me to avenge your father!"
Xiao Yuer seemed to understand what her mother said and smiled happily.
Emperor Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows, went over and hugged Jiang Changning, "Husband and wife should share the joys and sorrows together."
Now it was Jiang Changning's turn to be amused and confused. He suddenly felt that it would be better for this man to be busy so that he wouldn't do anything weird.
The couple were both covered in urine. Jiang Changning wanted to just change her clothes, but Emperor Xuanzhi insisted on taking her to take a bath.
He even called it "As an emperor, you should show your grace to the harem."
"It will drizzle today." Emperor Xuanzhi was determined.
Jiang Changning didn't really want to refuse. Since the Queen Mother was not in the palace, she also wanted to make trouble.
She had just recently found out that the Empress Dowager had read the "Tongshi", which made her feel uncomfortable and she inexplicably wanted to go against the Empress Dowager.
After the incident, the couple lay down on the bed refreshed, and Emperor Xuanzhi asked, as if to take credit for it, "Am I very gentle?"
"Yong Zhou has always been a gentle person." Jiang Changning rolled into his arms.
Emperor Xuanzhi raised the corners of his lips and kissed her on the forehead.
The sun rises and sets, summer goes and autumn comes, and along with a few autumn rains comes the little fisherman's first birthday.
"Xiao Yu'er, your brother the Crown Prince and your grandmother the Queen Mother won't be able to make it back in time to attend your one-year-old birthday banquet." Jiang Changning said while hugging Xiao Yu'er.
"Queen, let's go for a walk and play." Xiao Yuer shouted happily.
Children who have teeth growing out learn to speak quickly. They can speak clearly when they are only one year old.
"Let me change your clothes first." Jiang Changning said.
In preparation for the one-year-old banquet, Jiang Changning specially drew a picture and had someone make a koi costume for Xiao Yuer.
The red koi costume looks festive in itself, and with the playful and cute koi hat on, the pink and tender little Yuer is extremely adorable.
Before Jiang Changning could appreciate it for a while, Xiaobai's voice rang out from outside, "Mother, is my sister okay? Father is here to pick us up."
My two sons also have a day off today, so we went to Showaden with them.
Emperor Xuanzhi made no secret of his love for his daughter and specially arranged Xiao Yuer's one-year-old celebration banquet in the Showa Hall.
When we arrived at Showaden, there were already many people inside.
The Dewang Consort, who rarely went out, also came. Looking at Xiao Yu'er in Jiang Changning's arms, she smiled and praised: "What a pretty little princess, she is as delicate as a jade. She is a beauty."
"She's a naughty girl." Jiang Changning patted her chubby little butt, "Call me great aunt."
"Grandma." Xiao Yuer called out obediently, pronouncing each word clearly.
The Concubine Dowager Dewang smiled so much that her eyes wrinkled. "Oh, good boy, you scream so beautifully."
"Grandaunt." Xiao Yuer called again.
The Dowager Consort of Prince De was so happy that she took off the jade bracelet on her hand and said, "A one-year-old birthday gift."
Hearing this, Jiang Changning felt it was difficult to refuse, so he said to Xiao Yuer, "Hurry up and thank my great aunt."
"Thank you." Xiao Yuer quickly stuffed the jade bracelet into her small bag.
But the jade bracelet was too big and her bag was too small to fit it.
Jiang Changning was afraid that she would drop the jade bracelet on the ground, so she quickly took it and said, "Xiao Yu'er, wait a moment, and I'll give you the jade bracelet. Now I'll keep it for you, and you have to go to the big case to grab something."
A large case was brought in, with many things placed on it.
Xiao Yuer is a girl, so seals, bows, swords and the like were not placed up.
Rouge, scissors, rulers, pattern pieces and embroidery thread were added.
Emperor Xuanzhi placed Xiao Yu'er on the big table and said, "Xiao Yu'er, go get two that you like."
Xiao Yuer sat on the big desk, looking at the things around her and giggling, but she was not in a hurry to take them, and Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning did not urge her either.
"Sister, quickly take what you like." Xiaobai said anxiously.
