The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

When Ji Guiren arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor was still talking to a minister in the study, so she was taken to the nearby West Pavilion to wait.

Ji Guiren sat there, looking at her fingers. She has a beautiful and elegant appearance, dignified and noble, but her fingers are not particularly slender and beautiful. big distance.

She remembers things earlier, and she still remembers clearly what happened when she was three or four years old. Her fourth younger sister is only two years younger than her. When she was four years old, she was able to help her mother take care of her younger sister. She often stood by her younger sister's cradle, and whenever her younger sister cried, she would rock the cradle. The maids were not there. She remembered that it was the day when Ji Heng was born, and everyone went to the wife's yard. She guarded her younger sister, seeing that she couldn't be coaxed by crying, so she had to use the stove to boil water to give it to her. She poured rose water and lotus root powder, the water boiled, she accidentally knocked it over when it was too hot, her feet and fingers were scalded by the boiling water, she also cried, it was only after the fourth aunt came back that she found that she was scalded , After using a lot of medicine, the wounds on the fingers and feet were considered to be cleared away, but when Ji Guiren looked at his fingers, he always felt that his fingers were not good-looking enough.

The emperor arrived at the West Pavilion in a short time, Ji Guiren saw him coming in, so he quickly got up and saluted, the emperor smiled softly at her, and said, "Yingniang, excuse me."

He sat down on the couch, and the palace man quickly brought hot tea, and then retreated.

Mrs. Ji thanked you, and sat down on the other side across the small table on the couch, Rourou looked at the emperor and said with a smile, "I don't know what good things happened to the emperor, so happy today."

The emperor froze for a moment, and asked, "Can you see that I am very happy?"

Ji Guiren pursed his lips and smiled, then nodded, "Why can't you see it."

The emperor said, "It is indeed a good thing. And it is also a good thing about you."

Ji Guiren thought for a while, and said, "This, can Rong Chenqie guess what it is?"

The emperor slightly raised his hand to signal, "Guess."

Ji Guiren said, "The concubine thinks, it's Brother Heng's business. It's time to get off the list now, isn't he on the list?"

The emperor laughed and said, "Ying Niang, you are always so transparent."

Ji Guiren also laughed and said, "I'm counting the days, and I know that I'm going to be listed in Qiu Wei soon. Brother Heng has always studied diligently and never been playful. It seems that he hasn't seen him since he entered Beijing at the age of seven. When he was naughty as a child, if he can't be on the list, then I don't know who can be on the list."

The emperor took a sip of tea from the teacup, and seemed to be lost in memory. He remembered that the first time he saw Ji Heng was in the Fengxiang Palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Ji Heng was only eight or nine years old, but he was already very mature. A white and tender bun face, big black eyes, shining like stars, the emperor thought about it, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Indeed. He is not only on the list, but also a This time, Jiangsu Jieyuan."

Ji Guiren said, "Mom and dad will definitely be very happy."

The emperor said, "The Ji family is indeed full of talented people, and the emperor's affairs are safe and very useful; your father, who is now the second assistant, is really the pillar of the court; Junqing..., Junqing..."

What happened to Junqing, the emperor didn't say, but just glanced at Ji Guiren again and smiled at her.

Ji Guiren always feels that the emperor treats him like Ji Heng treats his elder sister. Although she is indeed one year older than the emperor, she is his concubine, his woman, not his elder sister.

Ji Guiren sat dignifiedly, looking at the emperor who was sitting quietly and thinking from time to time. The emperor will soon reach the age of the crown, and he has already completed the appearance of an adult.

She remembered that when she first entered the palace, although the emperor was very old, stable and deep, he still looked like a young man. After two or three years, he had grown up completely.

His body already showed the broad shoulders and broad chest of a big man, the lines of his face also showed firmness, and his eyes were even more unpredictable. He did not have the blessing of a successful king, but expanded his territory The momentum is like the founding king of the country.This is probably because he ascended the throne at a young age, and the journey along the way has been very hard.

The emperor asked Mr. Ji to have lunch with him. After lunch, the emperor wanted to rest for a while. Mr. Ji also stayed and gently kneaded his shoulders. The emperor seemed to be sleeping on the couch. The leg that was tied was not Ji Guiren's, but Ji Heng's. This trance feeling made him raise his hand, and pulled Ji Guiren's hand into his palm.

The emperor is young and mature, so he seems to pay great attention to his behavior and dignity. Even with his serious concubine, he seldom shows intimacy. Grabbing Ji Guiren's hand like this made Ji Guiren a little flattered , the emperor squeezed Ji Guiren's hand, then took it up and put it on his eyes, and said softly, "I want to urge him to come to Beijing as soon as possible."

Ji Guiren gave a low "hmm", knowing that the "he" the emperor mentioned refers to her younger brother Ji Heng.

Ji Guiren said softly, "It's been three years, I don't know what Brother Heng looks like."

The emperor closed his eyes and imagined that a boy, from the age of thirteen or fourteen to sixteen or seventeen, was the time of the greatest change. In the past, Ji Heng was so beautiful that he could not distinguish between men and women, and his voice was tender and soft. Three years have passed Well, I'm afraid it won't be what it used to be.

The emperor didn't continue to talk about Ji Heng, but said, "Your cousin Xu Dachuan is also on the list this time. The list in Beijing came down a few days ago. I saw that he is not bad."

Ji Guiren said "hmm" again, and said, "Father is strict with us. Since Xu's cousin lived in my house, he didn't see any fun, so he made things difficult for him."

She also thought of the fourth sister who was married. The fourth sister preferred Xu Qilang back then and wanted to marry him, but Mrs. He didn't mean that, and the Xu family also felt that the fourth sister was a concubine and was not willing to let the fourth sister do it. Daughter-in-law, so Fourth Aunt had no choice but to ask Mrs. Ji to show someone else. Fourth Sister was sad for a while because of this, but Xu Qilang devoted all his attention to poetry and books, and studied harder. For Fourth Sister He didn't know what he was thinking, and he refused even the relatives his family wanted to tell him.

Xu Qilang is the only legitimate son of his family, and he was fostered by his aunt's house since he was a child. His family felt sorry for him and loved him very much. Naturally, everything was up to him, so Xu Qilang has not yet settled on a marriage.

The emperor seemed to be asleep, and Ji Guiren wanted to pull a blanket to cover him. At this moment, the emperor uttered another voice, "The youngest daughter of King Qi is married to Ji this year, and she just didn't say anything about her marriage. Having mentioned this matter, I thought, how about giving Xu Dachuan a marriage?"

Shou Dao is the word of Yang Qinan, the second son of King Qi. The emperor left a few clan children in the capital, and then arranged errands for them in Beijing. Although this matter was also opposed by many ministers, saying that it violated The ancestral system, but the emperor didn't want to hear what they said, let them quarrel, and then took advantage of the follow-up turmoil of the King Wu case to dispose of some ministers again, and the quarrel passed.

Because of this, Yang Qinan stayed in the capital and worked in the clan's mansion. The emperor sometimes sent him into the palace, and sometimes there were family banquets. Because of this, Ji Guiren actually met this clan's child several times. got to know him.

Ji Guiren couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to give a marriage to the irrelevant Xu Qilang. What he thought in his heart was that the emperor wanted to win over the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but the emperor didn't have to do this at all.

She said, "Then this is really Shichiro's great blessing."

The emperor got up after resting for a while, and Ji Guiren also left.

The emperor was always thoughtful, and then someone spread the word that Ji Guiren's mother-in-law would come to see her in the palace.

Mrs. Xu went back to Yangzhou to take care of Ji Heng. In the capital, the Fourth Aunt was asked to take care of the house. As for Xu Qilang, the Mrs. Xu sent someone to take care of her, fearing that if she left, Xu Qilang would learn from her.

The next day, the fourth aunt tidied up and brought the fifth sister into the palace, all the way to the Qiongying Palace where Ji Guiren lived.

The third sister was very happy to see her mother and younger sister, and asked people to bring out a lot of snacks unique to the palace for her mother and younger sister to taste.

The fifth sister is already a 14-year-old girl, and she is already seeing her relatives, but she has not yet settled down.

The fifth sister has a beautiful appearance and is 14 years old. She is just a delicate flower that is just about to bloom, so she is naturally beautiful.

Her biological mother, Aunt Six, has always been criticized for her behavior. As her daughter, Fifth Sister is not at all like her own mother. On the contrary, she is very gentle and generous, and she is also very careful and sensible.

After lunch in the palace, Fifth Sister saw that Third Sister and Fourth Aunt had something private to say, so she found an excuse and went outside to enjoy the flowers under the eaves.

Just looking at the flowers, I heard a voice. It turned out that Concubine Xu, who was getting heavier by the day, went out for a walk. I happened to see her, so I asked someone to ask. The fifth sister had also entered the palace to see her sister before, so she knew her. Concubine Xu went forward to salute. Concubine Xu said, "It's the fifth lady of Ji's family. I know that my sister has her natal family here. The emperor is really sincere to my sister. He will let her family come in to accompany her from time to time."

Fifth Sister said with a smile, "Your Majesty is joking, it is a first-class favor to have His Highness in your womb."

The fifth sister walked with Concubine Xu. Concubine Xu looked at her from time to time and said, "The ladies of Ji's family are all good-looking. You should show up to the emperor more often. If you don't mind, you can stay in the palace with your sister. out."

After she said this, Fifth Sister's face turned pale, and she said, "Your Majesty, don't make such a joke, Xiao Wu dare not have such thoughts, besides, father has already taken care of Xiao Wu's marriage."

Concubine Xu saw that Fifth Sister really had no intention of going to the palace, so she smiled and said something else to make fun of Fifth Sister.

And in the inner room of Qiongying Hall, Fourth Aunt pulled Ji Guiren to talk earnestly, "You were going to enter the palace back then, but now you have really entered the palace. What good is it if you live in the cold every day? You kid, you just have your own ideas."

Ji Gui said humanely, "Mother, I'm fine, and he treats me well."

The fourth aunt shook her head and said, "The emperor treats you well, so why don't you give up your belly. The fourth sister is five months pregnant, and she will give me a grandson next year. Look at you, or It's cold and clear."

Ji Guiren smiled, but also should not.

To conceive a child, of course she can't do it alone.

After a while, she said softly, "I don't think the emperor is very interested in anyone, but he is thinking about Brother Heng's return to Beijing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fourth Aunt scolded her lightly, saying, "No one in Beijing is allowed to talk about this anymore, why are you still talking nonsense. Your father is still furious when he hears people mentioning this."

Ji Guiren didn't talk about this anymore, but said, "Brother Heng knows Yuan, when will you come to Beijing?"

Fourth Yiniang said, "Madam's letter hasn't arrived yet, no matter how early it should be in October."

Ji Guiren said, "My wife is back, mother, don't you feel that it's harder."

The fourth aunt patted her hand, "Madam is not a harsh person, and she is dedicated to guarding Brother Heng. I have no conflicts with her, but the life of the sixth child may be more difficult. It's good if the wife comes back, I will It's much easier, and Lao Liu will be suppressed by her again, and he won't mess around at home anymore."

Ji Guiren thought for a while, then laughed, and said, "My wife asked Uncle Xu's family to send her to Beijing. This is shooting myself in the foot."

The fourth aunt said disapprovingly, "My wife is deep in her thoughts. Although the sixth aunt is not easy to control, she is a person who wants to yell at everything. With the sixth aunt, even if the wife is far away in Yangzhou, no one dares to do small tricks." , even the master has not taken any more concubines in these years, and the family has no more children."

Ji Guiren thought it was true, and then talked about the emperor's marriage to Xu Qilang.

Si Yiniang said, "Lao Six is ​​still thinking about marrying Fifth Sister to Qi Lang, so it seems like it's just a waste of time."
