Xiao Junhan did not deny it, he smiled and said, "How did the mother and concubine know?"
This is a disguised admission.
Seeing him in such a state, Concubine Xian immediately backed away and suppressed her anger and said, "Han'er, Queen Mother knows that Lao Wu is now in power, and you feel unhappy, but you can't give up on yourself. If the Emperor hears this, But what's the matter?"
As soon as she heard the news, she felt angry. Xiao Junhan was her son and was closely related to her prosperity and wealth. If Xiao Junhan died out first, what else would she have to fight for in the harem
Xiao Junhan evoked a smile and said, "Mother and concubine, I just want my father to know about this."
Hearing this, Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment. Just when she was about to ask, she heard the eunuch outside the door shouting loudly, "The Emperor is here!"
Xiao Junhan immediately showed a successful smile, then calmed down, walked to the entrance of the main hall, knelt down and said, "My son, please pay my respects to my father!"
As soon as Emperor Jing entered the door, he saw the anger on Concubine Xian's face that had not yet subsided, and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Concubine Xian forced a smile on her face and said, "Back to the emperor, it's just Han'er who was acting a bit nonsense. I just said a few words to him. It's not a big deal."
Emperor Jing nodded, then looked at Xiao Junhan and said, "I heard that you have planted some fruits recently. What kind of farmhouse fun are you experiencing?"
Before Xiao Junhan could speak, Concubine Xian spoke first, "Your Majesty, do you think this Han'er is just fooling around? He doesn't know how to share your worries, but he is serving vegetables and fruits at home. He even ordered someone to send him to the palace two days ago. Some peaches, said to have been planted the year before last, are now bearing fruit, but this kid is also acting up!"
Xiao Junhan waited until Concubine Xian finished speaking, then raised her head and said sincerely, "Back to my father, I have been thinking about my mistakes at home these days. When I read the books of sages, I was grateful for the achievements of my ancestors in martial arts, and then I thought about the people, so I simply opened up a new business at home. A piece of pure land, after all this hard work, it is hard but also peaceful. Now the weather in my country is smooth, I have the kindness of the emperor above me like the sea, and my subjects below me are of one mind. This is the blessing of my Dynasty!"
After hearing what he said, even Emperor Jing was a little moved, because he smiled and said, "It seems that your confinement has not been in vain these days, and you are doing more talkative things than before!" After saying that, Emperor Jing smiled again and said, " Your mother-in-law said you sent peaches, so I ask you, what else in your garden has already produced fruit?"
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan immediately became interested and said with bright eyes, "Back to my father, it is late autumn now. In addition to the persimmons and peaches hanging on the branches in the orchard, there are also seasonal vegetables that are ripe. Don't mention anything else. We can prepare a farmhouse feast."
Emperor Jing just listened to what he said and became yearning for him. Seeing that Xiao Junhan was attracted by him, he immediately hit the tracks while the iron was hot, "If you are interested, father, you might as well come with me to see it. The beauty of this field is not enough to describe in words." After all, you can only appreciate the joy if you experience it yourself.”
At this time, Concubine Xian also somewhat understood Xiao Junhan's plan, but she was a little worried whether this would be too risky.
Seeing Emperor Jing's hesitation, Xiao Junhan did not rush him, but looked at Emperor Jing sincerely with an innocent look.
Finally, Emperor Jing smiled and said, "That's fine. I have been living in the palace for so long that I have almost forgotten what the outside world is like. Since your mother and concubine are here, let's go together for three days!"
The emperor's words are the imperial edict. As soon as he finished speaking, the other eunuchs and palace attendants hurriedly prepared a bunch of things to prepare for leaving the palace.
Not long after, Emperor Jing and Concubine Xian changed into ordinary clothes and sat in Xiao Junhan's carriage heading towards the other courtyard in the west of the city.
When we got into the courtyard, we saw that the fruits and vegetables in the courtyard were ripe. Looking from a distance, the pink, willow and green vegetables were fragrant, and it was a beautiful scene of the autumn harvest.
As soon as Xiao Junhan entered the door, he picked the fruits himself, washed them and brought them to Emperor Jing. He also ordered someone to spread a soft blanket on the stone bench under the wisteria flower stand, and then invited the emperor and concubine to sit down.
Seeing Xiao Junhan busy in the courtyard with ease, Emperor Jing couldn't help but sigh, "When I was young, I also saw farm fields from a distance, but it was far less shocking than what I saw today. The second brother is a good boy. .”
Only now did Concubine Xian realize that Xiao Junhan's plan was completely correct, and she echoed with a smile, "That's because you taught me well, Your Majesty. He is young, and even though he is not sensible, he is still a descendant of our Xiao family. How can he be really bad?" Where to go?"
The two emperors and concubines chatted happily, and Xiao Junhan ordered his servants to pick the vegetables and other things in the courtyard and make them into dishes. At noon, the three of them sat together to eat, and it looked like an ordinary people's home.
During the dinner, Emperor Jing was rarely cheerful, and he was full of praise for Xiao Junhan. After finishing the meal, Xiao Junhan felt completely relieved.
Just because Emperor Jing just said something, "Lao Wu is too utilitarian after all. You look much better than him now. I am very relieved!"
Xiao Junhan originally didn't believe that this method was feasible, but now that he heard these words, he couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes he was not as good as a woman who could figure out the holy will.
When he was about to go out, Emperor Jing seemed to have said unintentionally, "There have always been idle princes in this court, not idle princes. If you really want to relax, it's still a little early now, so you can't be lazy."
Xiao Junhan was stunned at first, and then flattered, "I just stole half a day's leisure. Besides, my leisure is also because you, my father, have managed the country smoothly. Otherwise, where would this peaceful and prosperous age be?"
Hearing this, Emperor Jing laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's put away the flattery. Since we stole half the day, we have to go to court honestly tomorrow, you know."
Xiao Junhan was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and said, "My son, I obey, thank you father!"
Before leaving the house, Concubine Xian deliberately took two steps back and said softly, "Come to my bedroom after the court tomorrow. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Junhan nodded to indicate that he understood, and helped Concubine Xian get into the carriage.
It was not until the carriage of the emperor and empress gradually disappeared that Xiao Junhan returned to the yard and threw a muddy handkerchief directly.
When he went to pick vegetables in person just now, he could feel the smell of the earth even through his handkerchief. As a prince, he had never done such a thing in his life. If it weren't for the position of the Nine-Fifth Lord...
A girl appeared behind him at some point. She had a pretty face, but her expression was a bit mean.
Seeing his gloomy look, Shen Jingci smiled and said, "Everything goes well, what are you worried about, Your Highness?"
Xiao Junhan slowly turned around and said with a distant look, "I'm thinking that I will never be a leisurely prince in this life."
He was born into a royal family, so he was destined to never be free!
Time flies by like a white horse. Although it is astonishingly fast, it never loses a minute or a second.
In November, the first snow of the year finally arrived in the capital.
Before Xie Ruzhuo was completely awake, he heard Qianbi shouting in the room, "Miss, miss, wake up quickly, it's snowing outside!"
The noise in her ears woke up Xie Ruzhuo as she wished. She stared at the tent above her head in a daze for a while, then sat up and murmured, "Oh Qianbi, can't you just let me sleep a little longer." "
Last night, Wen Ruyu came to collect blood again, and this time he was kind enough to bring her a magic medicine to stop the bleeding. But for some reason, after the man left, she felt sleepy. Not only did she have a good night's sleep, but she also had a lot of sleep. The posture of being unable to wake up.
Qian Bi walked over with a smile on her face, and while getting her a cotton coat, she said with a smile, "Miss, if you continue to sleep, you will be in trouble."
She had just played in the snow, and her hands were flushed with coolness. Xie Ruzhuo accidentally touched it, and immediately retracted her body into the bed, warning, "Stay away from me, it's so cold!"
Jiang Zhu walked in with a basin in hand and smiled slightly when he saw this scene. He walked over and pulled Qian Bi aside and said with a chuckle, "I know you can't bear it anymore, so don't pass on your coolness to the lady."
Qian Bi curled her lips, then put her hands against her face, and immediately hissed, as if she was quite cold.
At this moment, a small silver-white ball jumped onto Xie Ruzhuo's bed with lightning speed, bringing a lot of snow water with it.
Xie Ruzhuo immediately screamed, picked up Xiao Bai Tuan, and said angrily, "Xiao Bai, if you go out to play in the snow again, I won't give you meat for three days!"
Xiaobai is the snow fox brought back from the hunting ground, and was named by Xie Huailin. Ever since Xie Huailin fell into the water last time, this little guy has been sticking with Xie Huailin every day, quite protective of him. Then after a long time, Xie Ruzhuo discovered that as long as these two get together, nothing good will happen!
Not to mention the meat and snacks that were missing from the kitchen every now and then, the flowers and plants in the back garden had been completely ruined by this man and a fox.
Therefore, the gardener in the house went to Xie Ruzhuo several times and begged her to take care of it. However, no one cared about the little man or the little fox. As time passed, even the gardener accepted his fate and was no longer surprised that the garden would be in chaos the next day.
Now that it's snowing, it has become a paradise for snow foxes.
Xue Hu carefully removed the paw covering his eyes and looked at Xie Ruzhuo with watery eyes as dark as ink, chirping from time to time.
However, Xie Ruzhuo didn't buy it. He walked outside while holding the skin by the back of its neck, and said, "Yong'an, if you hide again, I won't give you any cakes for three days!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Huailin got out from under the table with a bitter look on his face.
Xie Ruzhuo helplessly held her forehead, she knew that wherever there were snow foxes, Xie Huailin would definitely be nearby!
Seeing that the fourth sister seemed to be angry, Xie Huailin immediately moved towards Xie Ruzhuo carefully and whispered, "If the fourth sister is not angry, Yong'an will stop making trouble."
Seeing his pitiful look, Xie Ruzhuo got really angry. He immediately knelt down and rubbed his little head, saying, "You got up early, but have you ever greeted your grandmother?"
Xie Huailin nodded, smiled, and said, "Grandma called me to tell Fourth Sister that it's snowing today, so you don't have to go."
Xie Ruzhuo expressed his gratitude, then turned around and ordered, "Jiangzhu, go and ask the kitchen to bring breakfast. Remember to bring the fourth young master's crystal bag as well."
Jiangzhu agreed and was about to go out. However, Xie Huailin immediately took out a small snowball and stuffed it into Jiangzhu. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister Jiangzhu, come and play with me!"
Seeing Xie Huailin running into the yard like a monkey, Xie Ruzhuo was angry and funny. When he turned around and saw the envy on Qianbi's face, he immediately said angrily, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Watch out for the Fourth Young Master and don't let him fall."
Hearing this, Qian Bi immediately responded loudly and said, "I obey, my slave!"
