Tana held the book and read bedtime stories to the child, but the child didn't listen at all. She pouted and carefully picked the embroidery on the bed sheet.

Shuwan lay beside her to watch her pick, but she didn't know where the child pulled out a piece of thread. Her thick and short fingers grabbed the thread and stuffed it into her mouth. The thread was too short and couldn't be inserted. To catch the thread ends, go round and round, never tired of it.

Tana's voice was like a lullaby, the child was still playing, and Shuwan lay on the bed and fell asleep first.

She slept so peacefully that night that she couldn't bear to open her eyes when she woke up in the morning.

Shuwan stretched her waist, Chun'er heard the movement and lifted up the bed curtain.

"Ma'am, do you want to get up now?"

Shuwan looked sideways at the little granddaughter lying beside her, "Get up!"

She got out of bed carefully, she was afraid of waking up the child, so she went outside to wash and change clothes.

Chun'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty slept really well last night, you didn't even wake up when the nanny came to change Xiao Gege's diaper."

Shuwan also smiled, "It may not be effective to read to the child to sleep, but it is just right for me. When did Tana go back?"

Chun'er replied: "It was already very late when Xiao Gege slept, and the slave invited Da Fujin to live in the side hall next door. Just now when the slave went to see, Da Fujin was already up and washing up!"

At this time, the eunuch from the Hall of Mental Cultivation came over to deliver a message, saying that the emperor, eldest elder brother and second elder brother would come to Yongshou Palace for breakfast in a while.

Shuwan hurriedly sent people to the dining room to ask them to prepare more food.She sent someone to bring Guaibao over again, and everyone had breakfast together, and he must not be left behind.

The dining table is full of all kinds of food, and the whole family sits crowded together.

At the very beginning, Tana always had to serve the family when they had meals, but Shuwan said it a few times before Tana changed.

Now Tana confesses that she is a lazy daughter-in-law before eating, and then goes to pick up the dishes she wants to eat with peace of mind.

Shuwan looked at the fourth elder brother, then at Kang Bao and Xiaobao.

"Did the three of you not sleep last night? Look at your dark circles, they are drooping on your chin."

The fourth elder brother said: "I slept, but I slept a little late."

Kang Bao yawned and unceremoniously disrupted the situation. "Ama is wrong. We went to bed very early, and it was getting cold at that time."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

Guaibao said: "Today I realized that my elder brother and I belong to the same sign."

Shuwan: "How do you say that?"

"We are all donkeys! We don't distinguish between black and white and work!"

The fourth elder brother picked up a vegetarian bun and stuffed it into Guaibao's mouth, "You can't stop your mouth if you eat it, what's wrong with staying up all night at a young age? I haven't felt tired yet, so it's your turn to complain?"

Shuwan protected her son, she said: "Don't blame the children for complaining, you are indeed a bit too much. You keep spinning every day, and few people can keep up with your rhythm, not only the children, but also the elders are not young anymore. You have pity on them!"

The fourth elder brother was more excited when he ascended the throne. When the first emperor was around, he was tied up. Now he is the master of the house, and he can't wait to change the world immediately.

The fourth elder brother complained: "I also want to rest, but there are so many things, I can't just pile them up and ignore them. Not to mention anything else, the rumors in Jiangnan must be dealt with quickly, right?"

Shuwan rolled her eyes. After the fourth elder brother became a workaholic, she persuaded her several times, but the fourth elder brother always refused to listen, as if the throne was borrowed and rushed to return it tomorrow.

She said: "Forget it, you always have your reasons. When you are sick and tired, I won't serve you!"

The atmosphere was not good, Tana and Guaibao shrank their necks and dared not say a word.Kang Bao was afraid that his parents would quarrel, so he hurried to smooth things over.

"Speaking of Jiangnan, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right, Ama Erniang will help me go into details."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "You say."

Kang Bao saw that Tana and Guaibao had almost enough to eat, so he asked Tana to take Guaibao out to play.When it comes to Jiangnan, it is inevitable to talk about the poisoning of the first emperor. It is inconvenient for Guaibao to know about it. He is still young, and Kang Bao is afraid that he will leak his words.

Tana coaxed Guaibao to see if the little niece was awake, and when they left, Kang Bao said to the fourth elder brother: "Yesterday, Ama arrested the imperial physician and palace servants who served the late emperor for secret interrogation. This is a normal process. But I don't think they did what Jiangnan did.

Firstly, they don't have the guts, and secondly, it's not good for them.The people serving in the palace are not fools, they can't do such a thankless thing at the risk of killing the nine clans.

Ah Ma, think about it carefully, apart from the imperial physician and palace servants, who else knows about the poisoning of the late emperor?Only poisoned people left! "

The fourth elder brother patted the table, "Yes! Why didn't I think of such a simple thing!"

Shuwan complained, "Because you stayed up late and stayed up stupid!"

The fourth elder brother gave her a blank look, but ignored her.

Kang Bao felt funny seeing his parents arguing like children.

He also said: "It's not easy to find the people behind the scenes, but we can rule out a few people who will never poison. The people behind the scenes will definitely benefit from poisoning the late emperor. The most suspected people are the emperor uncles.

Uncle Wu Huang and Uncle Seven Huang are honest and honest, they are easy-going and easy-going, it can't be them.Ever since Uncle Nine Emperors broke up with Uncle Eight Emperors, besides working on errands, he was eating, drinking and having fun, so he was not too suspicious.The Tenth Emperor's Uncle didn't have that ambition, nor did he have that ability, and the Thirteenth Emperor's Uncle was even less likely.

Excluding those young emperor uncles, the suspects are clear at a glance. "

Guaibao added: "This person can stir up scholars in Jiangnan, which shows that he has some roots in Jiangnan.

The uncle's contacts are in the army, and the twelfth uncle was raised by Aunt Su Ma, so it must not be as simple as it seems, but he has been staying away from the court, so this matter should have nothing to do with him.The fourteenth uncle's roots are in the northwest, and the remaining emperor uncles can only be regarded as children, all of whom are bald-headed elder brothers.

After much deliberation, the most suspected ones are the second uncle who was the prince, the third uncle who is famous among scholars, and the eighth uncle who is the best at buying people's hearts and has a good reputation in Jiangnan. "

The children's words did make sense, and the fourth elder brother said: "I will send someone to investigate them. As for Jiangnan, it's a big matter. I can't rest assured that there is no one I trust to handle this matter."

Xiaobao took the initiative and said, "Ama, why don't you let me run for a while!"

Shuwan frowned, the situation in Jiangnan was complicated, it was a mess when the late emperor was there, the fourth elder brother had just ascended the throne, and hadn't spared time to deal with Jiangnan's affairs, she was really worried about Xiaobao going there.

The fourth elder brother also said: "The relationship there is complicated, you have no title, and you have never received an errand. You go to Jiangnan..."

I'm afraid the officials won't obey you, and if no one cooperates, you won't be able to deal with the rumors.

Xiaobao said: "When I go to Jiangnan, I don't investigate corrupt officials, nor do I check taxes. No one will make things difficult for me. The officials in Jiangnan are not fools. This kind of rumors intensify, and they can't get any good results. Ah Ma Erniang don't worry, I can handle it."

Shuwan bit her lip and said nothing, the child has grown up and wants to fly high alone, she shouldn't stop her.

Kang Bao also helped his younger brother to speak, "Xiaobao is a little lazy, but he is very reliable in his work. Ama and Erniang can rest assured."

The fourth elder brother agreed after thinking for a long time, "Okay! Xiaobao will go to the south of the Yangtze River for a trip. Don't feel pressured. If you can't do well, I will send someone else."

Shuwan pushed him, "How can you talk like that! Before the child starts to do things, you should pour cold water on him first."

Shuwan smiled at Xiaobao: "Don't worry about going to Jiangnan, Erniang will lend you Xia'er and let her go with you. She has been in Jiangnan for many years and is familiar with everywhere."

Xiaobao smiled and said, "Aunt Xia'er is with me, then I will be like a tiger with wings added!"

The fourth elder brother took Xiaobao and nagged a lot of precautions. Shuwan didn't like to hear these, so she took Kang Bao to talk about her experience in raising children.

"Did you and Tana have a baby just for fun? The baby hasn't turned one year old yet, and you started to enlighten her! Can she understand? Pay attention to the baby's growth pattern!"

Kang Bao said with a smile: "Reading to a child is a waste of saliva, whether she can understand or not, just read it."

Shuwan scolded: "You are a great father? Is that what I taught you when you were young? You are counterproductive!"

Kang Bao said eloquently: "Emiang's words are wrong. A child must be cultivated from an early age in order to become a talent. It will be too late for you to train me."

"It's too late?" Shuwan couldn't believe it, "You went to study when you were not as high as the desk, don't you think you were very pitiful when you were young?"

Kang Bao purposely said, "It's not pitiful! I should have read the Three Character Classics when I was just born, the Four Books and Five Classics when I was six months old, and I should be writing articles when I was one year old! I just ate it." It’s a shame to read late!”

Shuwan slapped him on the back angrily, "You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven?"

Kang Bao said with a smile: "Emiang, it is indeed my idea to read poems and words to the child. I want to train her well, and it is also for Tana. After having a child, Tana has also become busy. Things in the palace More, she has to accompany you to meet the clan Fujin and your wife from time to time.

There are a lot of trivial things, and she can only stay up at night to read. I think she is too hard, so I asked her to read to the child. It doesn't matter if the child doesn't understand, as long as Tana can remember it. "

Shuwan smiled and nodded, "That's a little bit more plausible!"

Kang Bao said again: "Of course, the main reason is that I want a girl to become a talent. When I was a child, no one taught me. When I grow up, my daughter is better than me. No matter how hard it is, the child can't suffer."

Shuwan was so angry that she wanted to hit him again, but Kang Bao jumped up and ran towards the door.

"Ama Erniang, Xiaobao, I'm going back to catch up on sleep first, you guys chat slowly, goodbye!"

Kang Bao ran out quickly, picked up his wife and children and went home together.

Tana sent someone to send Guaibao away, and she carried the baby and walked side by side with Kang Bao.

Kang Bao had nothing to do to tease his daughter, "Good girl, listen to your mother-in-law's study carefully. When you grow up, you will have to strive for success and have both civil and military skills. Do you understand? Wait until you go to pay your respects to your imperial grandmother. Recite a poem and let her see how powerful you are! Okay?"

The child looked at his father with a smile, and Kang Bao leaned over to look at her.

"Just nod if you understand what I mean! Come on, I know you can understand, nod quickly!"

The child pursed his mouth, pfft—sprayed Kang Bao's face.

Kang Bao straightened up and wiped his face, "It's very good, very filial, Ha Lazi is not wasted at all."
