Chapter 445: A sentence that made Xiao Jinyan happy: The babies’ first birthday celebration (1)
Shen Chuwei said, "We just met on the street, what's the matter?"
Xiao Jinyan asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Shen Chuwei asked in confusion: "I just met someone on the road, why do you need to tell His Highness?"
Seeing that what she said was a matter of course, Xiao Jinyan frowned and said, "Look at Jun Wuxian's clothes, everything is like that of a nobleman, how could he lack a penny from you? I can tell at a glance that he has some ulterior motive."
Xiao Jinyan's face was as cold as ice, but every time he spoke to her, he was still somewhat gentle. He was so fierce today that Shen Chu was stunned for a moment.
"I still remember that he wanted the candied haws in my hand. A grown man can't even afford candied haws. Doesn't that mean he doesn't have money?"
Xiao Jinyan asked: "Did you give it to me?"
Shen Chu shook her head slightly, "I brought it back to Your Highness, and Your Highness thought the candied haws were too sweet."
Xiao Jinyan felt better after hearing this, and even knew to bring it back for him to eat. However, did he ever complain that the candied haws were too sweet?
"I have noticed that Jun Wuxian has approached you and Concubine Xu for other purposes."
Shen Chuwei reminded: "I have only met Jun Wuxian twice, what purpose could there be?"
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe me?"
Shen Chuwei said: "Of course I believe Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan then revealed a satisfied expression. After seeing Concubine Xu's reaction today, he felt that this was not the first time Concubine Xu and Jun Wuxian had met. Seeing her reluctant look, they must have known each other for a long time.
And that jealous look, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out. When he lowered his head, he found Xiaojiu sleeping on his legs.
It's true that after eating and drinking enough, I go to sleep.
Xiao Jinyan adjusted a comfortable position for her, and seeing her sleeping soundly, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
We arrived at the palace the next morning.
As soon as Shen Chuwei returned to the East Palace, she immediately let go of Xiao Jinyan's hand and ran into the Hehuan Palace.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Xiaojiu's impatient look and realized that he missed her so much after not seeing her for just a few days.
He had been leading the troops away for half a year and he was eager to return home, but she had never been so impatient to see him.
He is worse than two kids...
The more Xiao Jinyan thought about it, the sadder he felt.
At this moment, the two kids were holding onto the fence, trying to climb out.
"My dears, your mother is back."
Shen Chuwei's affectionate call successfully attracted the attention of the two kids who were about to climb over the fence.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for several days, they still recognized Shen Chuwei.
Susu happily reached out for a hug, "Mommy, Mommy!"
Shen Chuwei picked up her daughter and kissed her on her pink cheek.
"Susu baby."
Susu danced happily, hugged Shen Chuwei's neck tightly, and smiled happily.
When Xiao Jinyan came in, he saw this scene. A warmth welled up in his eyes. Seeing Taotao raising her little head and looking at Shen Chuwei and Susu, he walked over and picked up Taotao as well.
"Daddy, Daddy..." Taotao called Daddy happily.
Xiao Jinyan looked at his son's happy expression and suddenly remembered that he must have been so happy when he was a child.
The nurses standing nearby also laughed as they watched, "The young masters are very happy to see His Highness and the Crown Princess."
Xiao Jinyan looked up at the wet nurses, "I and the Crown Princess are not in the palace, are they crying or making a fuss?"
"In reply to Your Highness, the young masters are very well behaved and did not cry. However, they are even happier that Your Highness and the Crown Princess have returned." The wet nurse replied with a smile.
Shen Chuwei heard this and looked at Susu hugging his neck and refusing to let go. She looked so clingy. He must have missed her too much after not seeing her for a few days.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Susu misses me so much. You are indeed my little babe."
Xiao Jinyan raised the corners of his lips slightly. He had heard of "little cotton-padded jacket", "little vest", and "little lover in the previous life", but this was the first time he heard from Xiaojiu that his children had so many names, and the names were quite interesting.
After being away from the palace for a few days, a lot of official business had piled up, so Xiao Jinyan hugged Taotao for a while and then left the Hehuan Palace.
At this time, Xuetuan came in from outside holding Xiaobai, a puppy with the same number in his mouth. They were also snow-white. When they came, they immediately attracted the attention of Susu and Taotao.
Xuetuan brought Xiaobai to Susu, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiaobai fell out.
Arriving in a strange place, Xiaobai was so scared that he didn't dare to move.
Susu reached out and grabbed Xiaobai's tail, dragged it in front of her, and then hugged it.
Xiaobai had never received such a warm hug before. He looked at the snowball in front of him in confusion. If he could speak, he might have howled, "Big brother, save me!"
Chunxi has been worried every day since he knew Xiaobai was a tiger.
"Master, this is Xiaobai's first time meeting Susu. What if he hurts Susu?"
Shen Chuwei drank her tea calmly, "Don't worry, Xiaobai won't hurt the baby."
Chunxi heard this and looked at Susu holding Xiaobai. Every time she saw Xiaobai open his mouth, she was scared.
After a few times, Xiaobai didn't bite Susu, so he felt relieved.
When Chang Liangyuan learned that His Highness had returned, she brought some homemade cakes to the study.
Xiao Jinyan was reviewing memorials to the emperor.
Chang Liangyuan walked in slowly and bowed to Xiao Jinyan, "May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan raised his head and glanced at Chang Liangyuan, "Chang Liangyuan, what do you want to do?"
Chang Liangyuan came over with a food box and placed it on the desk, opened the food box, took out the cakes inside and placed them on the desk.
"Your Highness, I made some cakes myself, please try them."
Xiao Jinyan said without even looking up: "Next time you don't have to go there in person, just let the maid bring it over."
Chang Liangyuan was a little unhappy when she heard this, but she could show it. She just said softly, "I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. I just came here to pay my respects to Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan raised his head, picked up a memorial and continued reading it, then said calmly, "I heard that Chang Liangyuan often went to the Empress Dowager to show her filial piety."
Chang Liangyuan was secretly happy that her decision was right. Xiao Jinyan actually noticed her and must have thought that she was a very filial person.
"I like to talk and chat with the Empress Dowager. I have nothing to do, so I just go over to see her every day."
"I am busy with official duties all day and have no time to visit the Empress Dowager. Then I will ask Chang Liangyuan to accompany the Empress Dowager more and fulfill my filial duty on my behalf." Xiao Jinyan paused here and continued, "I heard that the Empress Dowager likes the Diamond Sutra. Please copy a copy for her."
Chang Liangyuan's face turned a little unhappy when she heard this. She was asked to copy the Diamond Sutra? And to spend more time with the Queen Mother every day?
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows with anger, "Why, you don't want to?"
Chang Liangyuan lowered her eyes, and even though she was unhappy, she could only nod in agreement.
"I am naturally willing to be filial to Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and said, "Then go ahead."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Liangyuan left the study.
After leaving the study, Chang Liangyuan was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she could only go back to her Xinlan Palace to vent her temper.
After finally copying the Diamond Sutra and sending it to the Empress Dowager, it happened to be raining and snowing, and he accidentally fell, and the copied sutra rolled into the water, the ink smeared, and the words could not be seen.
Huaixiang stepped forward to help Chang Liangyuan up, and asked worriedly, "My lady, are you okay?"
Chang Liangyuan stared at the paper full of words in the water. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. However, she had to go back and continue copying.
When they returned to Xinlan Palace, Chang Liangyuan was furious and the floor was a mess.
Chang Liangyuan's hair was a little messy, and she had long lost her former gentle and elegant image.
Xiao Jinyu's marriage has been delayed for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, it's the babies' one-year-old birthday.
The emperor was delighted and held a grand banquet, with all the civil and military officials coming to congratulate him.
The two little guys can already walk, and if you're not careful, they'll walk out, making it difficult for you to find them.
The palace was busy with activities because of the birthday banquet.
Shen Chuwei, however, was always thinking about the banquet.
Chunxi ran in and panted, "Master, Susu is gone."
Shen Chuwei was preparing birthday gifts for the babies. When she heard that the baby was missing, she couldn't help but get a little anxious, "Why did it disappear?"
Chunxi said, "I just went in to put new clothes on Susu, but I didn't see her on the bed. The nurses have gone to look for her."
