"Little aunt, I don't dare! I don't dare anymore!" Ke'er hurriedly begged for mercy. While hurriedly kissing Ji Xiang's cheek, she begged pitifully, "Good aunt, please spare Ke'er this time!"
"Fortunately, you are still afraid, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to control you." Ji Xiang smiled and nodded Ke'er's nose. He was about to say something more when he saw the housekeeper hurried over.
"Miss, I just received a letter from Dali. It is said to be an autographed letter from the Queen. Please read it." The housekeeper took the letter from his chest and respectfully sent it to Ji Xiang.
"Thank you for your help, housekeeper." Ji Xiang was so busy that he took the letter. Looking at the crooked words on the envelope, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "It is indeed a letter written by the empress."
The butler looked at Ji Xiang's expression and his expression became more respectful. Ji Xiang entered the Song Mansion as the adopted daughter of Song Fu. Although Song Fu and Song Tong treated her like family, in the end Ji Xiang was just a maid. Ji Xiang Her mother used to be a rough maid in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, the housekeepers were respectful on the surface, but in their hearts they did not regard Jixiang as their master.
But today, the majestic Queen Dali actually wrote such a handwritten letter to Jixiang, and he just weighed it with his hands, and it was still a very thick letter. This shows that the Queen is very kind to Jixiang. This is simply a supreme honor for ordinary people, but when the housekeeper looked at Ji Xiang's expression, he seemed to be used to it. He was secretly dumbfounded at the moment. This girl usually looked unassuming, but she didn't expect to be such a powerful person. , and now he made up his mind to be more respectful to Jixiang in the future.

After dinner.
Ke'er ate too many rice dumplings and was sitting in the room playing the newly learned beast chess with Song Fu. Song Tong found it interesting and sat watching their grandfather and grandson going back and forth with murderous intent. After watching it for a while, he couldn't sit still. After staying, he got up and left the small courtyard.
Jixiang put away the dishes and washed them in the kitchen. Halfway through the washing, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Jixiang was not surprised, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up.
"Ke'er is still shouting? She has eaten five rice dumplings today." When Song Tong walked in, Ji Xiang asked Song Tong while washing the dishes, "Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and show Ke'er?"
"It's okay, she's just acting coquettishly with you. It's really that serious. At this time, I'm playing animal chess with my grandpa and I'm very excited. How can I remember how many rice dumplings I ate?" Song Tong said, standing side by side with Jixiang. , tacitly took the bowl that Ji Xiang had washed, then wiped the water with a rag and put it in the cabinet.
"You don't need to do it," Ji Xiang said, trying to grab the bowl from Song Tong's hand, "I'll just wipe it myself later, don't do it."
"What? You think I can't even clean the bowls well?" Song Tong said with a smile, while gently pushing Ji Xiang's hand away, "It's okay, there aren't a few bowls."
Jixiang stopped being pretentious with him, lowered his head and washed the dishes silently. The sound of water "squeaking" echoed in the quiet kitchen. It was obviously so small, but it was so loud in the ears of the two of them.
"auspicious… "
"Brother..."
After washing the last bowl, the two of them turned their faces at the same time, and then they were stunned, and then they both laughed again.
"What's wrong? What do you want to tell me?" Song Tong took a handkerchief and wiped Jixiang's hands.
Ji Xiang wiped his hands and said to Song Tong with a smile: "I want to tell you that I received a letter from Dali this morning. The Queen has agreed to my request and allowed me to live in Beidi and take good care of my mother and daughter." Dad."
"You have stayed with me in Dali for twenty years, and my mother is very kind to you." Song Tong said with emotion.
