That night, Xiao Junxi was extremely depressed, for no other reason than because Xiao Xinqi was clinging to Xie Ruzhuo and seemed unwilling to let her go. This aroused Xie Ruzhuo's maternal instincts and drove her husband to the study.
The candles in the study were brightly lit, and he had already finished reviewing the memorials on the table. Xiao Junxi kept writing on the rice paper, and soon he sketched a picture of a beautiful woman.
It looked like Xie Ruzhuo.
After a long time, he sighed at the woman in the painting, resigned his fate and dropped the brush, got up and went to the inner room.
Good spring days.
In the early morning, tiny bits of sunlight shone in through the screen window. When Xie Ruzhuo opened her eyes from a good dream, she saw Xiao Xinqi sitting next to her, looking at her with dark eyes without blinking.
Xie Ruzhuo was confused for a while, then realized her presence. He then gently scratched Xiao Xinqi's nose and said with a slight smile, "Is Qi'er looking at the emperor's wife?"
Xiao Xinqi nodded heavily, then carefully held Xie Ruzhuo's arm and lay in her arms.
Xie Ruzhuo kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile, "Good Qier, let's get up."
After hearing the conversation in the tent, Jiangzhu Qianbi and others obediently stepped forward to open the tent and help the two of them wash up.
Although Xiao Xinqi is young, children's intuition is the most accurate. Knowing that the people in front of them will not hurt themselves, Xiao Xinqi obediently cooperates with their actions, but there is a hint of timidity in her expression.
After finishing breakfast, Xie Ruzhuo discovered something extremely important.
From yesterday to now, Xiao Xinqi has not said a word!
At first, she only thought that Xiao Xinqi was frightened by the nanny, or that she was in denial, but until she later tempted Xiao Xinqi to call her by name, no matter what she said, Xiao Xinqi kept her mouth tightly closed and did not say a word.
"Qier, do you know what this is?"
After Xie Ruzhuo tried countless methods, he asked Qianbi to get a rattle, pointed at it and asked.
Xiao Xinqi took a look and nodded timidly.
Xie Ruzhuo was overjoyed and patiently seduced her, "Then tell the Queen's Wife what this is called, okay?"
However, no matter what Xie Ruzhuo said this time, Xiao Xinqi remained silent and stopped talking.
When Xiao Junxi came back, she saw Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Xinqi having a great time, but her wife seemed to have a sad look on her face.
Seeing Xiao Junxi return, Xie Ruzhuo immediately felt as if he had seen a savior. He took a few children's toys to distract Xiao Xinqi's attention, and then pulled Xiao Junxi aside.
"You mean, Qi'er can't speak?"
Xiao Junxi frowned, obviously a little surprised by this incident, "Wasn't it fine when we were in the palace? Did the death of Guiren Lan scare her?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've been teasing her all morning, but no matter how much I accompany her, this child refuses to say a word. Jun Xi, I'm a little worried."
What should this young child do if he cannot speak for the rest of his life
Xiao Junxi pondered for a moment and said, "Let mother-in-law take Yong'an here. Children may be able to communicate better."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, letting children communicate with children is a hundred times better than adults. She was also confused and didn't even think of this.
Seeing her wife's annoyed look, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but rub her head and joked, "I was stupid before, but now I'm even stupider."
Naturally, these words undoubtedly earned the lady a blank stare.
Xiao Junxi coughed slightly and changed the subject, "Today the Qintian Supervisor met the auspicious day and said that twenty-sixth is a rare and good day. My father has set this date and has already sent people to Prince Qi's Mansion to arrange it. .”
Xie Ruzhuo had not yet recovered from his thoughts. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "I'm afraid Shen Jingci can't sit still now."
Emperor Jing sent the etiquette officer to arrange all the necessary matters for the wedding, which was equivalent to indirectly taking away Shen Jingci's right to run the family. As soon as Murong Wan walked in, the two people would only fight more and more inseparably.
It will be another good show then.
Seeing that there was a bit of depression in her expression, Xiao Junxi knew that she had thought of something bad again, so she reassured her, "My husband has to worry about these things. Zhuo'er just needs to take good care of the baby."
The implication is that all the darkness is left to me. All you have to do is stay behind me and enjoy the stability.
Although she was used to hearing his sweet words, but hearing these words now, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but feel moved and said angrily, "You are always good at saying nice things."
When she said this, she inadvertently brought out a flattering attitude, which moved Xiao Junxi's heart and whispered in her ear, "My husband is not only good at saying nice things, but also doing good deeds."
As he said that, he looked around at everyone around him and suddenly kissed her on the face.
Xie Ruzhuo was accidentally attacked, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face. He glared at him, then turned around to tell Qian Bi about things.
Xiao Junxi was kissed and in a good mood. She said, "My husband is going to the study first" and fled the scene of the crime.
Xie Ruzhuo, who was left in the room with a red face, and a few maids who pretended not to see anything, wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and their faces were also red from holding back.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Qiao came with Xie Huailin.
As soon as he saw Xie Ruzhuo, Xie Huailin immediately slipped down from his mother's arms and ran towards Xie Ruzhuo on his short legs, shouting, "Fourth sister, Yong'an is here to see you!"
But when he ran to Xie Ruzhuo, he suddenly stopped the car again and said cautiously, "Fourth sister, can Yong'an hold you?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately sneered and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and our Yong'an has become shy."
Xie Huailin waved his hands in a hurry and said, "No, no, my mother said that the fourth sister has a little nephew in her belly. Yongan cannot touch the fourth sister, otherwise she will hurt the little nephew."
He looked childish, but he said such mature words. Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but laugh. He hugged him in his arms and kissed him, saying, "Don't worry Yongan, Yongan is so good, my little nephew likes you very much."
After hearing what she said, Xie Huailin felt relieved. He stretched out his tender white hand and touched Xie Ruzhuo's belly. He laughed first.
Xie Ruzhuo let go of Xie Huailin and took his hand into the house. He did not forget to greet Mrs. Qiao, "Mom, come in quickly. It's a little cold outside. Don't freeze."
Mrs. Qiao smiled and saw how harmonious their siblings were. She responded and followed Xie Ruzhuo into the house.
Xie Huailin originally held Xie Ruzhuo's hand, but as soon as he saw the little girl in the room, his eyes lit up. He unconsciously let go of Xie Ruzhuo's hand and walked to the little girl's side, making a milky sound. asked, "Who are you?"
When Xiao Xinqi saw the stranger, she hurriedly hid behind Jiang Zhu, but her dark eyes couldn't help but look at Xie Huailin from behind Jiang Zhu.
Xie Huailin was frustrated and turned around a little aggrievedly, "Fourth sister, why is she ignoring me?"
Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile on his face, "This is sister Qi'er. She was a little scared when she first came here. Can Yong'an play with her?"
Xie Huailin has always been the youngest in the family. Now that he heard it was a younger sister, he immediately became happy. With a smile on his face, he patted his chest and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo winked at Jiang Zhu, and then went to sit with Mrs. Qiao in the outer room.
After listening to Xie Ruzhuo's explanation of the whole story, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but sigh, "I only knew that King Jing treated you well, but now I see that King Jing loves you so much, my mother is relieved."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's face turned red and he said angrily, "Mother, why did you get involved in this?" She was obviously talking about Xiao Xinqi's matter.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo was shy, Mrs. Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore." After saying that, she looked inside again through the bead curtain and whispered, "It's just that this child is young after all. You She is pregnant again, although she is pitiful, you should not worry too much."
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "Speaking of this matter, Xie Rulan's debt is also involved. Besides, Qi'er is also good, but she refuses to speak now, but she makes me worried."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from inside, "Brother—"
Xiao Xinqi's voice had a strong milky smell, and her childish voice was like a bird in a cage.
Although this brother's voice was a bit unclear, Xie Ruzhuo was still startled and immediately looked inside.
I saw Xiao Xinqi being held by Xie Huailin's small arms and still eating something in her mouth.
Xie Huailin acted like a big brother. While feeding Xiao Xinqi, he also brought over tea and said in a milky voice, "Drink your water. Don't choke."
Seeing this, the sadness on Xie Ruzhuo's face immediately disappeared and he sighed, "Sure enough, this method works."
She had been coaxing her for so long, but Xiao Xinqi didn't say anything, but Xie Huailin had only been here for a while, and she actually asked Xiao Xinqi to talk!
Mrs. Qiao also said with some humor, "In the past, Yong'an always acted like a little ancestor at home. It's rare to see him giving in like this."
Not long after, he heard the silver bell-like laughter coming from the children inside. Xie Ruzhuo looked through the curtain and saw that the two of them were playing very harmoniously. Then he was completely relieved and chatted with Mrs. Qiao.
In the evening, Xie Huailin was about to leave, but Xiao Xinqi looked reluctant to leave. She grabbed the corner of Xie Huailin's clothes and said aggrievedly, "Little brother often comes to see Qier."
When Xie Huailin saw her deer-like eyes, he immediately felt a protective desire as a little man. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will do it. I'll bring you my little wooden horse next time."
After the two children said goodbye, Xie Ruzhuo hugged Xiao Xinqi and said, "Is Qier willing to talk now?"
Xiao Xinqi shyly leaned into her arms and smiled sheepishly.
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo touched her hair lovingly, then hugged her to take a bath.
A lantern was swirling slightly, and the night breeze blew in through the window, bringing a chill.
Xie Ruzhuo covered Xiao Xinqi with a quilt. Seeing that her breathing was steady, he stood up carefully and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she saw her clothes being grabbed by a pair of small hands. Xie Ruzhuo turned around in surprise and laughed softly, "Why did Qi'er wake up again?"
Xiao Xinqi opened her eyes and said timidly, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid."
The little girl looked particularly lovable like this. Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help lowering his head and said warmly, "Don't be afraid, Qi'er, the emperor's sister-in-law is here."
Xiao Xinqi bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to tell you a secret."
