Go to Qingqiu together

Seeing that Niannian started to push Shen Xubai, Xu Qingjian quickly hugged him back.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, he really didn't bully daddy, he really didn't." Xu Qingjian said repeatedly.

Nian Nian took two deep breaths, obviously still not convinced.

"I really haven't." Shen Xubai explained again helplessly.

"Nian Nian, father didn't bite me, he just kissed me." Xu Qingjian also helped Shen Xubai explain.

Niannian looked up at Xu Qingjian with tears in her eyes, her voice choked up: "Really?"

"Really, it's the same as Daddy usually kisses you." Xu Qingjian replied affirmatively.

Niannian looked at Xu Qingjian, but didn't speak.

So Xu Qingjian hurriedly lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek, and said softly, "As it is now, Daddy likes Nian Nian too much, so he will kiss you, just now my father did the same."

"But father is not relative, he is biting you, it will hurt very much." Nian Nian said crying.

"He didn't do it on purpose, he was careless." Xu Qingjian patted Nian Nian on the back lightly.

As he said that, Xu Qingjian quickly winked at Shen Xubai.

Nian Nian also looks at Shen Xubai.

"I was not careful, I didn't mean to hurt him." Shen Xubai said to Niannian sincerely.

Niannian sniffed, with an aggrieved expression on her face.

"Then you have to be careful, Dad is very afraid of pain..." Nian Nian said with a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry." Shen Xubai apologized helplessly.

"I forgive you." Xu Qingjian replied quickly.

He said to Niannian again: "Look, Daddy has forgiven Father, it really doesn't hurt."

Xu Qingjian wiped Niannian's tears while talking.

Probably because Shen Xubai had already apologized, Niannian gradually calmed down.

Xu Qingjian coaxed him for a long time, finally persuaded Niannian to let him continue to sleep.

But no matter what he said, Niannian refused to sleep in the original position again, and insisted on sleeping between the two of them, Xu Qingjian had no choice but to agree to it.

After covering the quilt, Niannian grabbed Shen Xubai's and Xu Qingjian's with one hand, and placed them on her stomach.

"Sorry to wake you up." Shen Xubai stretched out his hand to smooth Li Nian's hair, and said with shame.

Nian Nian obediently shook her head, expressing that she did not blame him.

Then Niannian turned her head to look at Shen Xubai.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xubai asked softly.

"Father, I'm sorry." Niannian hesitated for a while, then suddenly apologized to Shen Xubai.

Shen Xubai froze for a moment.

"Nian Nian shouldn't be like that just now." Nian Nian's voice was very small.

Shen Xubai smiled, reached out and touched Niannian's head: "I don't blame Niannian, it's my problem."

Niannian took Shen Xubai's hand, kissed it, and said, "Niannian still likes father."

"Father likes Nian Nian too." Shen Xu stared at Nian Nian with his white and black eyes, and his voice was extremely gentle.

"Although my father was careless, it can't be like this next time..." Nian Nian still reminded Shen Xubai not to bite Xu Qingjian next time.

Shen Xubai smiled helplessly when he heard the words, and then nodded, expressing that he knew.

Xu Qingjian, who was lying on the side, blushed in embarrassment when he heard Nian Nian's reminder.

After explaining this sentence, Nian Nian closed her eyes and went to sleep in peace.

And Shen Xubai and Xu Qingjian's hands were still held by Niannian and placed on his belly, unable to take them away.

So they held each other lightly.

After a long time, until Xu Qingjian was sure that Niannian had fallen asleep, he lightly poked Shen Xubai's palm with his finger.

Shen Xubai ignored him, just took back his hand from Niannian's stomach.

"Nian Nian?" Xu Qingjian called Nian Nian softly.

No one responded.

Xu Qingjian yelled again, Niannian was still in a deep sleep, so he was relieved, and lowered his voice to Shen Xubai: "My lord..."

"What to do?" Shen Xubai replied.

Xu Qingjian was taken aback for a moment, forgetting what he wanted to say.

After a long while, Xu Qingjian continued: "I'm really sorry...I didn't expect..."

"Hmph." Shen Xubai snorted coldly, turned over to face Xu Qingjian: "You are comfortable, you have taken advantage of all the benefits, I am the bad guy, and I do all the bad things."

Xu Qingjian didn't expect Shen Xubai to say this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

He only felt that Shen Xubai looked like a child throwing a temper tantrum, exactly the same as when Nian Nian was angry.

Seeing that Xu Qingjian was actually smiling, Shen Xubai frowned immediately, Xu felt ashamed, and turned back without saying a word.

"Don't..." Xu Qingjian hastily held him down: "I was wrong, I was wrong, why don't I stop laughing?"

Shen Xubai glanced at him coldly, but didn't speak.

"Then... how about we find a time tomorrow and continue?" Xu Qingjian thought for a while, and asked Shen Xubai's opinion in a deliberate tone.

"En." Shen Xubai responded: "It's the only way."

In fact, his whole body is still up to now, but there is nothing he can do.

Xu Qingjian also felt sorry for Shen Xubai, he thought for a while, and then suggested: "Why don't we still..."

"Forget it, wake up Niannian later, I can't even open my mouth to explain to him." Shen Xubai directly interrupted Xu Qingjian.

Thinking of Nian Nian's actions when she just woke up, Xu Qingjian smiled awkwardly.

"Then why don't we go out?" Xu Qingjian asked again.

"Did you forget what happened last time?"

Being reminded like this, Xu Qingjian remembered that when he and Shen Xubai went outside and came back last time, Niannian was sitting on the bed and crying.

Obviously, this proposal is also unacceptable.

Xu Qingjian couldn't help but sighed helplessly, it seemed that today was really going to die.

"I think, we really need to let Niannian try to sleep alone as soon as possible." Shen Xubai said suddenly.

Xu Qingjian looked up at Shen Xubai, thought about this sentence seriously, and then nodded: "You are right."

He hadn't thought about it before, but now he felt it was necessary.

"Well, it's getting late, go to bed first." Shen Xubai nodded and said.

After finishing speaking, Shen Xubai turned around, lay flat on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that Shen Xubai was going to sleep, Xu Qingjian also closed his eyes and didn't disturb him anymore.

Early the next morning, Qin Suitang came to find Niannian to go to school with him as usual, but today Niannian was very clingy to him, so Xu Qingjian had to send Niannian away for a while before coming back by himself.

As soon as he reached the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, Xu Qingjian stopped.

I saw a gorgeous sedan chair stopped in front of the door, surrounded by several maidservants, it looked like it came from the palace.

Xu Qingjian hid aside without thinking, secretly observing the scene here.

After the sedan chair came to a complete stop, a servant girl stepped forward to lift the curtain and helped the person inside get down.

"Empress Dowager, slow down." The maid said respectfully.

Queen Mother? !

Xu Qingjian's expression changed on the spot.

Although he didn't know the Queen Mother, but he had heard a lot about her deeds, he naturally knew that the Queen Mother was a clever woman.

With the support of the maidservant, a woman dressed in fine clothes got off the sedan chair. One could tell from her graceful appearance that she was the queen mother.

The queen mother is now over 50 years old, with white hair on the sideburns and wrinkles on her face, but she still looks healthy.

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Qingjian, the Queen Mother slowly walked into Prince Ning's Mansion.

Xu Qingjian hesitated for a while, then quietly followed.

His movements are very light, as long as he doesn't want to be discovered, the Queen Mother and the people around her will not be able to notice him.

Soon, Shen Xubai came out to meet the Queen Mother.

"I respectfully welcome the empress dowager. I didn't know that the empress dowager was here. I neglected my empress. I hope you will forgive me." Shen Xubai saluted the empress dowager, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

The Empress Dowager stood where she was, slowly twirling a string of beads in her hand with her fingers. There was no expression on her face, but there was a feeling of calmness and prestige.

She just quietly looked at Shen Xubai's bent waist for a long time, and then said casually: "Get up, you don't have to be so polite."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Shen Xubai stood up straight.

Then Shen Xubai invited the Queen Mother to sit in the main hall.

The two retreated their servants, and just chatted quietly about some unimportant things, but Shen Xubai knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely not come to him specially because of these trivial matters.

He probably already guessed what the queen mother wanted to say, but he didn't startle the snake, he just waited for the other party to speak first.

At the same time, Xu Qingjian also squatted nearby to secretly observe the movement inside.

His hiding place is very obscure, even Shen Xubai may not be able to find it.

Finally, the Empress Dowager and Shen Xubai got down to business: "I don't know, Xu'er, when did you have a nearly three-year-old son."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager looked up at Shen Xubai, her eyes were extremely sharp.

Shen Xubai had already guessed that the Empress Dowager would say this, so he was not surprised at all, after all he had no intention of hiding this matter.

As for the identities of Xu Qingjian and Nian Nian, he couldn't have been hiding them all the time. Back then, it was because his foundation in Beijing was not stable, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect Xu Qingjian, so he didn't let others know.

But it's different now.

"The Empress Dowager forgives the sin, I only met him recently." Shen Xubai replied in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother quickly frowned.

"I have been married a few years ago, did the Empress Dowager forget about it?" Shen Xubai asked back.

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Shen Xubai for a while, then sneered.

"You mean the man who was burned to death three years ago?" The Queen Mother asked with a cold snort.

"Exactly."

"But isn't he dead?"

Shen Xubai was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "I thought so too, but he escaped from death at that time, but was injured in the fire, afraid of dragging me down, he was away alone for several years, and he just came back a few days ago."

After listening to Shen Xubai's words, the Queen Mother's face became more and more ugly.

Finally, she let out a disdainful sneer: "The Ai family investigated him back then, and his name was Xu Qingjian, right? But his life experience is false, and his background is also false. The Ai family knew that his identity was arranged by you." of."
