Zhao quickly agreed, "Of course. Just wait and see. I guarantee you'll be much higher than you are now by this time next year."
Little Bell felt inexplicably excited after hearing this, and she wished she could speed up time to one year later right now.
Although she couldn't see the scene she wanted to see for the time being, it at least allowed her to calm down and scratch her head embarrassedly.
"Hehe, of course. I'm still young, so there's no need to rush. Godmother, where are my two younger brothers? Aren't they celebrating their birthdays? Why don't you see them?"
Pei Huan got a headache whenever he mentioned his two sons. "Oh, I don't know where they went to play again. I don't know what's wrong with these two kids, they have been very naughty since they were young.
I used to be reluctant to send them away, but before they were two or three years old, I couldn't bear it anymore.
If Daocheng hadn't helped take care of them most of the time, I would have lost my patience long ago. Today is their sixth birthday.
Xiao Lingling, you can take Ren'er away after dinner. It just so happens that your senior brother is coming today, so you can ask him to take Jingxu back to the capital as well.
By then, I can finally be completely clean and pure.”
Pei Huan didn't hide his disgusted expression at all, which made everyone laugh.
Fang has a special say on this point.
"Hey, I understand you. Those two kids of ours were giving me a headache every day. Luckily, raising children in the village is more relaxed, and there are other children to keep them company."
I don't worry too much. But it's still a headache, and you'll probably have to think about it after you send it away."
Pei Huan was very open-minded about this. After all, there was the example of Su Jingsheng, so it was not something he could not tolerate.
"Hey, I'm fine. Didn't we just send Jingsheng away? I was worried about his health at the time. But these two are as strong as calves.
And whether they go to the Divine Doctor Sect or return to the palace, there will always be someone to protect them, so I am not too worried.
This is just perfect. We can free up some time and chat, go shopping, and go out for fun with a few old sisters. It’s so much fun!
Jingrou also said that her two children would accompany Jingxu to study and be sent to the palace together. Then we can finally relax and have a good time."
You know what, the life that Pei Huan described was really comfortable, and everyone immediately started discussing it.
They even started discussing where to go shopping tomorrow.
Xiao Lingling was speechless, but she didn't interfere much and just waited for the banquet to begin.
At noon, the banquet in the back garden had been set up.
Because there were no outsiders, the male and female guests were only seated at separate tables, but not in separate courtyards, so it still looked quite lively.
The main people who came were Su Daoxiu's family of four, the Lin family, and the Wu, Song, and Sun families.
Because they were all Xiao Lingdang's adopted relatives, although the Song family and the Sun family were both merchant families, they also had some friendship with Su Daocheng and his wife.
Now, the Song family and the Sun family have been designated as imperial merchants, while Song Jie and Huo Qiuyue have become close friends with Xia Yan and Pei Huan.
I didn’t have so many good friends when I was still unmarried, but now I have gained some sincere friendships.
They often make appointments with different people to have tea and chat, and their relationship is very good.
However, the most indispensable part of today's birthday party is the gift-giving part, and most of the gifts given by adults are related to academic studies.
It was either the Four Treasures of the Study or some rare calligraphy works. Although Su Jingxu and Su Jingren thanked them one by one obediently, the helplessness in their eyes could not be hidden from everyone.
The gifts for the children, on the other hand, were much more practical. When the various toys were presented to them, the two brothers' eyes immediately lit up.
Until the end, the little bell slowly came forward.
The two children were looking excitedly at the large basket of gifts in front of them, wondering what to do with it.
Xiao Lingling stopped in front of the two of them. Although she didn't call out to them, they all looked up as if they had sensed something.
After seeing who it was, she immediately smiled sweetly.
"Sister Ling'er, what gift are you going to give us?"
Xiao Lingling squatted down, rubbed their heads a few times with her small hands, and took out two small wooden boxes from her arms very solemnly.
The wooden box is not big and it is obvious that it cannot hold any large items, so it is unlikely to be a toy.
But the two children were not disappointed and continued to stare intently.
"Sister Ling'er, what is this?"
Xiao Lingling first opened the box given to Su Jingxu. Inside, there lay a piece of jade beads quietly. It was not big, only the size of Su Jingxu's palm.
It was a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, soft to the touch, and Xiao Lingling raised her hand and put it around his neck.
"Jingxu, you have to promise Sister Ling'er that you will never take off this jade pendant, not even when you are bathing.
Don't give it to anyone who asks you for it, even your father, the emperor, and your mother, do you understand?"
Jingxu frowned in confusion, but Xiaolingling didn't seem to want to explain to him.
There are too many uncertainties in the young prince's life. Although the court seems to be united now, this is only temporary.
There is no shortage of calculations in the court. Although she cannot clearly predict his future, she can see that he is destined to die.
This was discovered by Xiao Lingling when he was born. During the past six years, she has been constantly visiting and doing good deeds, and has incorporated the merits of hundreds of families into it to make a talisman.
