Chapter 201: Sweet Daily Life (V)
"Yeah!" Lu Ming nodded.
"Let's go!" Yuan Yao pulled Lu Ming to the yard to sit on the swing.
"Are the two of you okay again?" Zhang Siyin asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Zhang Siyin smiled and said, "Children are really good. They don't hold grudges or grievances."
Jiang Zhaoyue agreed: "That's right, what's past is past."
"But maybe the two of them will fight soon."
"agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two children fighting over the swing.
Jiang Zhaoyue secretly said to the palace maids, "Don't worry about them, let them solve it themselves."
The palace maid then told Xiangqiao and others.
Xiangqiao and others obeyed the order.
Yuan Yao and Lu Ming fought for a while, but it was difficult to tell who was the winner, so they started talking in gibberish.
Both children were under two years old and could not speak a complete sentence, but they managed to communicate well, then sat on the swing and played together.
The picture is very harmonious.
But soon, for some unknown reason, the two little guys started hitting each other.
They played for a while, quarreled for a while, played for a while, and fought for a while, until after lunch, when Lu Ming was about to follow Zhang Siyin back home.
Yuan Yao's face froze for a moment, and he asked, "Are you leaving?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Yeah."
"No, I won't leave." Yuan Yao held Lu Ming's hand.
Lu Ming shook his head: "No."
Zhang Siyin explained: "Your Highness, we have to go home, otherwise Lu Ming's father will be worried."
"I miss my father and grandfather." Lu Ming continued.
Yuan Yao missed his father and grandfather terribly after not seeing them for a few days, but he just couldn't bear to leave Lu Ming. He didn't know what to do, so he turned and ran to Jiang Zhaoyue, hugging her legs with his little arms: "Mother."
"Are you sad?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked with his head down.
Yuan Yao responded: "Yeah."
"My brother will also be sad if he can't see his father and grandfather."
"Come here!" Yuan Yao said with his little face raised.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Are you going to bring your brother's father and grandfather here?"
"Yeah." Yuan Yao nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue explained to Yuan Yao, "But my brother's father and grandfather are officials and they have to be responsible for the people."
Yuan Yao pouted unhappily.
Jiang Zhaoyue suggested: "Otherwise, we can let brother go back first, and when we are free, we can go find brother to play, okay?"
"Looking for my brother?"
"Yes, let's go to my brother's house to find him and take a look at what his parents look like." Jiang Zhaoyue discussed with Yuan Yao.
"It's okay." Yuan Yao finally agreed.
Zhang Siyin took Lu Ming away.
Worried that Yuan Yao would feel lonely, Jiang Zhaoyue took the little guy to the Imperial College to find Pei Heng.
"Where?" Yuan Yao asked.
"Studying in Qingfeng Hall." In order to find out about Pei Heng's situation in the Imperial College, Jiang Zhaoyue had secretly come here once before.
Now he took Yuan Yao's little hand and walked to the window of Qingfeng Hall as if he knew the way there well.
The school official was holding a book and talking in the classroom, shaking his head.
Several children aged eight or nine sat at the desk, listening to the class attentively.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately recognized Pei Heng, who was sitting in the middle. At this moment, she felt someone tug at the hem of her clothes. She looked down and saw Yuan Yao with an anxious look on his face. She bent down and picked Yuan Yao up, pointing at Pei Heng and whispered, "Did you see that?"
Yuan Yao recognized him and immediately shouted, "Uncle Wu!"
It was too late for Jiang Zhaoyue to cover his little mouth again.
The school officials and students looked over at the same time.
Jiang Zhaoyue wanted to leave with Yuan Yao in her arms, but doing so was too un-like to be a queen, so she smiled at the school official.
The school official came out and bowed respectfully, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
"No need to be so polite, we're here to find Pei Heng." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Yes, I'll let him out right away."
"Thank you, academic officer." Jiang Zhaoyue walked to the side holding Yuan Yao.
Pei Heng ran out happily, bowed first, and then called out, "Second sister-in-law."
"Did we disturb you while you were studying?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"No, I've learned everything the officer taught me today. It's okay if I don't want to listen." Pei Heng extended his hand to Yuan Yao: "Come, let Uncle Wu hold you."
Yuan Yao immediately threw himself happily into Pei Heng's arms.
"Why are you here today?" Pei Heng asked.
Yuan Yao replied: "Yes!"
"Do you miss Uncle Wu?"
"Um."
"Uncle Xiaowu misses you too, but you are so heavy that I can't hold you anymore." Pei Heng put Yuan Yao on the ground.
Yuan Yao stood obediently in front of Pei Heng.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked Pei Heng about his studies these days.
Pei Heng answered them one by one.
It was almost time, and Jiang Zhaoyue didn't want to disturb Pei Heng anymore, so she asked Xiang Qiao to give him the food she had brought: "Share it with your classmates."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Pei Heng took it happily.
"I remember you have a day off tomorrow. If you don't go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, come to Fengyi Palace and play."
"Yes." Pei Jingzhou agreed readily.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Then go study."
"Okay." Pei Heng turned to look at Yuan Yao and gave the little guy a big kiss on the face: "Uncle Wu is going to study!"
Yuan Yao nodded happily.
Pei Heng ran towards Qingfeng Hall with food.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Heng's back. Unconsciously, Pei Heng was already over eight years old. He had grown taller and thinner, and his speech and manners were becoming more and more like that of a young boy from an aristocratic family. Jiang Zhaoyue felt quite emotional.
After a while, he looked at Yuan Yao and asked, "Can we go back?"
"Yeah!" Yuan Yao completely forgot the sadness of separation from Lu Ming and returned to Fengyi Palace happily.
After a while, Eunuch Gao came to find Yuan Yao.
"I have already sent someone to tell my father that the wife of the Crown Prince and his son from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are coming today, so Yuan Yao will not go to Yongxiu Palace." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "The Emperor knows, but it's already afternoon. The Emperor asked me to see if the distinguished guests have left and what the eldest prince is doing."
To put it bluntly, Emperor Hong Qi missed Yuan Yao.
Jiang Zhaoyue had no choice but to say, "Yuan Yao, go pay your respects to your royal grandfather."
"Yeah!" Yuan Yao hadn't seen his royal grandfather for a day and missed him, so he followed Eunuch Gao to Yongxiu Palace.
Jiang Zhaoyue enjoys his leisure time.
After a while, Pei Jingzhou came back.
"Come back so early?" Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.
Pei Jingzhou said: "Well, the busiest time is over."
"Then I can see you every day from now on!" Jiang Zhaoyue walked forward and hugged Pei Jingzhou's arm as before.
Pei Jingzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Don't you see me every day?"
"You get up early and go to bed late every day, and I can only look at you in the pitch-black darkness. It's boring." Jiang Zhaoyue was dissatisfied.
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then how can we find it interesting?"
Jiang Zhaoyue stood in front of Pei Jingzhou and looked at him intently: "It's more interesting to look at you clearly like this."
"That's it?" Pei Jingzhou didn't believe it.
"It will be more interesting if I strip you naked." Jiang Zhaoyue said and started to work.
I knew it would be like this!
Pei Jingzhou hurriedly asked, "Isn't this bad?"
Jiang Zhaoyue tugged at her clothes and said, "Sister-in-law and Lu Ming have returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and my son has gone to see the Emperor. It's rare for us to be alone together, so hurry up."
"In broad daylight..."
"We've done this so many times in broad daylight, why are you still so shy?"
"I am the emperor now."
"That's even more exciting!"
“…”
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Pei Jingzhou onto the bed and took the initiative to ride on his body.
At first, Pei Jingzhou was still rational, but after a while, he could no longer withstand Jiang Zhaoyue's teasing and immediately turned into a hungry wolf.
…
The two of them had a quarrel and hurried to get up, but they didn't know that Emperor Hong Qi sent someone to say that Yuan Yao would stay in Yongxiu Palace tonight.
Jiang Zhaoyue lazily leaned back on the recliner, as if he had no bones: "I should have known not to get up."
Pei Jingzhou sat down in front of her and asked, "Why are you so tired?"
Jiang Zhaoyue stood up, leaned softly on his shoulder and said, "Yes, it's all because my husband is too brave."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her: "Still making trouble?"
"Just make trouble." Jiang Zhaoyue rubbed against Pei Jingzhou's shoulder.
"Then I won't be polite." Pei Jingzhou put his big hand on Jiang Zhaoyue's slender waist.
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "Jingzhou, have you become a bad person?"
Pei Jingzhou rubbed Jiang Zhaoyue's waist with his big hand and lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhaoyue's whole body went limp: "Oh, you're actually teasing me!"
"Is it not possible?" Pei Jingzhou curled his lips, with a hint of unruliness in his abstinence.
Jiang Zhaoyue was very pleased and said, "I was the one who teased you before!"
Pei Jingzhou continued: "Sometimes you can change it."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "So, you haven't eaten enough yet?"
Pei Jingzhou asked back: "Are you full?"
"No." Jiang Zhaoyue told the truth.
"Then continue."
“…”
Without Yuan Yao, the couple made noise until nightfall, got up to have dinner, and walked hand in hand in the yard to digest the food.
After showering and changing clothes, he lay down on the bed, talking about some daily trivial matters with his handsome face to her bright face until he fell asleep.
The next day, Pei Jingzhou went to court on time.
Jiang Zhaoyue handled all matters in the harem, received ladies of high rank in the capital, and got to know the female relatives in the capital.
Yuan Yao was running around and playing in the palace.
Hong Qidi followed behind with a crutch in one hand, calling out incoherently, "Yuan Yao, slow down, slow down."
Everyone has something to do.
Before we knew it, it was the end of the year.
Pei Jingzhou was very busy, so Jiang Zhaoyue took Yuan Yao to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and attended the wedding banquet of Pei Che and Qin You in a low-key manner. Not long after returning to the palace, it was the New Year.
The excitement, joy and busyness continue until the Lantern Festival.
The weather soon became warmer, and Yuan Yao took off his cotton coat. He played with endless energy every day, and his speech became more and more fluent, often leaving people speechless, and he became more and more naughty.
Pei Jingzhou returned from court and asked, "Where is Yuan Yao?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said, "We went to Yongxiu Palace."
After Emperor Hong Qi suffered a stroke, he took Yuan Yao with him every day and raised the little guy to a point where he can eat, drink, sleep and play.
The little guy also liked Emperor Hong Qi very much and went to Yongxiu Palace every day to accompany Emperor Hong Qi.
Emperor Hong Qi really loved Yuan Yao and was worried about the palace servants, so he would run after Yuan Yao every day with a cane. Unexpectedly, his health got better and better as he ran.
The symptoms caused by the stroke, such as crooked mouth, slurred speech, weakness in the right hand, and unsteady gait, were greatly improved. Even the imperial physician Zhen was amazed at Emperor Hong Qi's progress.
Pei Jingzhou felt relieved that Yuan Yao was staying with Emperor Hong Qi, so he had breakfast with Jiang Zhaoyue in a relaxed manner.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor Retired is here." Xiang Qiao came in and said.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou stood up together.
Emperor Hong Qi came over with a cane.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou bowed.
Emperor Hong Qi asked directly: "Where is Yuan Yao?"
"Father, Yuan Yao went to Yongxiu Palace." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou asked in surprise: "Didn't you go?"
"No!" The weather has warmed up, and Hong Qidi and Yuan Yao have made an appointment to go to the garden to catch birds today.
He waited in Yongxiu Palace.
Normally, Yuan Yao would have arrived at Yongxiu Palace at this time, but he did not show up today.
Did something happen?
He couldn't wait any longer, so he walked quickly to Fengyi Palace with his crutches.
As a result, Jiang Zhaoyue said that Yuan Yao went to Yongxiu Palace!
His face suddenly turned pale.
Pei Jingzhou was worried that Emperor Hong Qi would have another stroke, so he hurriedly said, "Father, don't worry, Yuan Yao has..."
"Go find it quickly!" Without waiting for Pei Jingzhou to finish his words, Emperor Hong Qi turned around and walked out.
"Father!" Pei Jingzhou hurriedly followed him out.
"Don't call me father, father, just find Yuan Yao quickly!" Emperor Hong Qi was extremely anxious.
Pei Jingzhou didn't say anything more.
Jiang Zhaoyue shouted, "Red Grass!"
No one answered.
Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but feel anxious.
The group followed Yuan Yao's usual route, shouting as they walked.
"The Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Empress." Hongcao suddenly appeared.
Hongcao was a secret guard. Sometimes she served as a maid in Fengyi Palace, and sometimes she was a secret guard, protecting Yuanyao's safety. Jiang Zhaoyue saw her and asked anxiously, "Hongcao, where is Yuanyao?"
"I was just about to report this to the Empress." Hongcao pointed to a small garden and said, "His Highness is catching birds in there."
"Catching birds?"
"Yes, he is catching birds alone."
"Where are the palace maids?"
"He tied up all the palace people."
Jiang Zhaoyue, Pei Jingzhou and Hong Qidi were extremely surprised, and then walked quickly into the garden together.
Four palace maids were tied to a tree with handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths. Yuan Yao took out a handful of millet from his arms and threw it to the ground. When the bird landed on the ground, he raised the net in his hand, walked forward quietly, and pounced on it, but missed.
"Yuan Yao!" Emperor Hong Qi called.
Yuan Yao turned around and called out in surprise, "Grandpa Emperor, Father Emperor, Mother Empress!"
"Did you kidnap these people?" Pei Jingzhou pointed at the four palace servants.
"No!" Yuan Yao answered confidently.
"no?"
"I'll just kidnap a little Yuzi." Yuan Yao ran around the palace all day long, talking to everyone he met. Although he spoke in a baby voice and his pronunciation was not very clear, his mouth and brain were quite flexible.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "What about the other three people?"
"Xiao Yuzi tied it up."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Xiao Yuzi.
Xiangqiao took the handkerchief out of Xiao Yuzi's mouth.
"Your Majesty, on the way down to Yongxiu Palace, the prince saw a few birds that he wanted to catch. The servants advised him to go to Yongxiu Palace first, but he got angry and said the palace servants were disobedient, so he asked the servants to help him tie them up one by one.
“The slave girl tied up all three of them.
“Your Highness ordered me to stand on the tree with my eyes closed. I was not allowed to open my eyes, otherwise I would be disloyal.
"I'm standing here, Your Highness, I'm going to tie you up." Xiao Yuzi had never seen a master so young and yet so cunning.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Yuan Yao and asked, "Why did you tie them up?"
Yuan Yao said, "They always ask me to go to Yongxiu Palace."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Shouldn't you go to Yongxiu Palace?"
"I think so."
"Then you're not going?"
"I've already told them to go in a while, go in a while, but they keep talking and talking. It's so annoying. I'll tie them all up and not let them talk!" Yuan Yao said confidently.
"Do you think you did the right thing?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
