Chapter 219 Qi Zhenzhen: I miss my mother, I miss her the most

Spring is about to begin, and Emperor Jingming will hold a Spring Equinox sacrifice at the Temple of Heaven in ten days, praying for a good harvest, good weather, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people. In addition to training troops in the next few days, Qi Yunshen will also be responsible for the martial law in the capital on the day of the sacrifice.

Qi Yunshen insisted on running over here, so Xu Jingyang didn't want to bother with him anymore.

Before the Spring Equinox Festival, there was one day for Qi Yunshen to take a day off, which was the day after tomorrow. Qi Yunshen said he wanted to take Xu Jingyang out of the city.

Xu Jingyang: "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to watch the sunrise?"

Xu Jingyang had seen the sunrise and sunset on Xiejia Island and mentioned it casually last night, but he didn't expect Qi Yunshen to take it seriously.

Xu Jingyang: "Did you have anything else to deal with that day?"

Qi Yunshen: "Rest time is my own time, you can go wherever you want."

Xu Jingyang snorted lightly, lowered her head and continued eating, blocking her unnatural gaze.

Qi Yunshen curled his lips and stopped teasing her.

After dinner, Xu Jingyang took a walk in the yard to digest his food. Qi Yunshen was not in a hurry to go back. He slowed down his pace, and the two walked side by side holding hands.

Usually Qi Yunshen would go home at the end of the day, so Xu Jingyang ignored her tonight and went to the bathroom to take a shower after taking a walk.

The moon is full tonight, and Qi Yunshen once again feels reluctant to leave.

Incense was burning in the room, and hot smoke was rising from the top-quality black tea. The sound of water in the bathroom came and went, and Qi Yunshen was sipping tea slowly and leisurely.

Finally, the water stopped.

The translucent tea soup has a light luster and keeps shaking.

He seemed to hear the sound of water rising from the bathtub.

Before Xu Jingyang came out, Qi Yunshen went to the yard to get some fresh air.

In Jing Mansion, Hou Yue was considered Xu Jingyang's bodyguard.

There were four maids who often served in the yard. One of them went into the room to help Xu Jingyang wipe her hair. The candlelight reflected the figure of the woman, who was slim and slender.

Qi Yunshen walked in again only after Xu Jingyang dried his hair and put on his clothes.

As soon as Xu Jingyang came out of the bathroom, he noticed that Qi Yunshen hadn't left yet. "You haven't left yet?"

Qi Yunshen leaned against the door with a straightforward look in his eyes, but he didn't speak for a moment.

Xu Jingyang blushed and glared at him.

The weather is still a little cold now, and Xu Jingyang put on a thick robe over her inner garment. She straightened the collar which was not at all messy, and sat in front of the dressing mirror with a relaxed yet elegant posture. She had a fair complexion and looked like a beautiful jade woman.

Qi Yunshen took a few steps forward and stood behind Xu Jingyang, slowly inserting his fingers into her still wet long hair.

The presence of the person behind her was too strong for Xu Jingyang to ignore. She turned around and tilted her head slightly.

"It will be too late if you don't go back now."

Qi Yunshen hummed, "Almost."

Qi Yunshen was almost done and stayed in the room for another quarter of an hour.

Xu Jingyang didn't want to pay attention to him. She leaned on the couch and continued reading the storybook.

Finally, at 2:15 PM, Qi Yunshen left Jing Mansion.

On the way back to the Duke's Mansion, there were still some shops open, so Qi Yunshen went to buy a ceramic figurine for Qi Zhenzhen.

When passing by the Song Mansion, there was a carriage parked outside.

Qi Yunshen withdrew his gaze and entered the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Eunuch Chen, who was standing beside the eldest princess, waiting in the corner with a smile on his face.

"Have you had dinner, my Lord?"

Qi Yunshen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Eunuch Chen's smile widened, "My Lord, His Highness invites you."

Cross the Unnamed Lake from the Duke's Mansion to reach the Princess's Mansion.

The eldest princess had been waiting since the afternoon. When she saw Qi Yunshen, she was slightly surprised. No one knows a son better than his mother. After returning from the north, the sinister aura in Yan Hui had diminished a lot.

I'm in a rare good mood tonight.

The eldest princess first poured a cup of tea for Qi Yunshen.

Neither the mother nor the son spoke first.

The princess suppressed her anxiety and spoke slowly, "Let's talk about Yun Zheng first."

Qi Yunshen said calmly, "Doctor Jiang died of a heart attack in the north and has been properly buried."

The eldest princess pursed her lips gradually, "The reason."

Qi Yunshen put down his teacup. "The north is bitterly cold, and my old injury recurred, causing heart palpitations. I didn't make it through the first month of the year."

The next moment, the sound of a teacup breaking was heard in the room.

"Yan Hui!"

With Jiang Yunzheng's medical skills, how could he die so easily?

Old Madam Qi was kept in the dark by her subordinates and was not aware of this matter for the time being.

The eldest princess' eyes were reddened, "What a good child..."

Qi Yunshen's face was cold and silent. He looked at the eldest princess without saying a word.

Xiejia Island is secluded, and Jiang Yunzheng's true life experience cannot be exposed. The best explanation is that he died of a heart attack.

The eldest princess closed her eyes and asked: "Where is the child buried?"

"Xiazhou."

Qi Yunshen said that Jiang Yunzheng's death was an accident and he would ask someone to tell Mrs. Song the truth.

There was silence for a moment. The eldest princess pinched her brows and said, "Find someone to keep an eye on him."

Qi Yunshen nodded.

After a pause, the princess looked directly at Qi Yunshen and asked, "What's the rumor about Jing Zhonggui?"

Qi Yunshen's lips curved slightly, "Mother has already made her judgment, why ask me again?"

Princess Yude put down her hand and looked at her eldest son. Qi Yunshen was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter.

"You've been busy these days, and the little girl misses you terribly. When you have a day off the day after tomorrow, please stay with her at the mansion. She's been asking for you every day."

Then she asked Jiang Yunzheng when he would come to see her.

"I'm going out of town the day after tomorrow."

These days, Qi Yunshen would accompany Qi Zhenzhen to have breakfast before leaving the house in the morning, and then coax the little girl to sleep when he came back in the evening.

The eldest princess sighed inwardly.

Qi Yunshen left the princess's mansion and went directly to Zhining Courtyard.

In the room, Qi Zhenzhen washed up and lay obediently in bed. Zizhu read to her by the bed, sometimes it was a storybook, sometimes it was the Three Character Classic for children.

Qi Zhenzhen's big grape-like eyes were black, bright and clear, full of excitement, and she looked very energetic. After the New Year, the little girl's face became rounder, and she looked more and more like a doll made of dough.

Qi Zhenzhen's eyes widened when he heard a meow and then familiar footsteps in the yard.

"Daddy is back."

Qi Zhenzhen spoke these five short words very slowly.

Qi Yunshen opened the curtain, his face no longer showing the fierceness of a military commander. "Are you still awake?"

Qi Zhenzhen sat up and called softly, "Daddy."

Qi Zhenzhen called Qi Yunshen, but his eyes were fixed on the thing in Qi Yunshen's hand.

Qi Yunshen pinched the little girl's chubby face, which felt very good. Qi Zhenzhen grabbed his old father's wrist and said one word slowly: "Annoying."

Qi Yunshen couldn't help laughing.

He lifted the person up from under his armpits and carried her around, and the little girl screamed excitedly.

The father and daughter had a lot of fun playing.

After all, it was still night, Qi Yunshen covered Qi Zhenzhen with a quilt and patted his daughter's shoulders to coax her to sleep.

Qi Zhenzhen: "When will Aunt Jiang come to see me? I miss her so much."

Qi Yunshen's hands kept moving: "She is doing something outside."

Qi Zhenzhen held the rabbit doll and slowly said "oh".

Qi Yunshen brushed the little girl's bangs and asked, "Do you miss your mother?"

Qi Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly widened, and she crawled out of the quilt like a loach. She opened the cabinet beside the bed and took out a painting from it. She moved very carefully and treated it very preciously.

"I miss my mother. I miss her the most."

Qi Zhenzhen's eyes were wet as he carefully touched the face of the person in the painting.

Qi Zhenzhen's facial features are more like Xu Jingyang's. The eldest princess said that when Qi Zhenzhen was thin, his facial features were like Qi Yunshen's, but now that he is much rounder, he doesn't look alike anymore.

Qi Yunshen left only after Qi Zhenzhen fell asleep.

Qingying had been waiting outside Zhining Courtyard. When Qi Yunshen came out, she said, "Master, Xiao Qinyu is dead."

Qi Yunshen's eyes were extremely cold. "Send him back to Xixia."

It is true that Prince Gaoyang is dead, but Princess Gaoyang is still alive.
