Extra: Sweet Daily Life (End)
"Father is so mean to me! Wuuuuu!" Yuan Yuan cried.
Pei Jingzhou came over and asked with his head down, "Tell me, father, why is he so mean to you?"
"Your Majesty." Zhang Siyin hurriedly spoke up for Yuan Yuan: "It's common for children to fight. There's no need to—"
"Sister-in-law." Jiang Zhaoyue interrupted Zhang Siyin: "Although it is common for children to fight, Yuanyuan is particularly naughty and needs to be taught well."
"She's still young." Zhang Siyin said.
Jiang Zhaoyue said, "It is precisely because he is still young that he can clearly understand right from wrong in small matters, so as to avoid causing great disasters in the future."
"Is it that serious?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said seriously, "If she had an ordinary family background, it might not be so serious; but she is a princess. If she doesn't know right from wrong and acts recklessly, she can get away with it, but what about the palace maids, friends, and even the common people who obey her?"
yes.
Although a prince is subject to the same punishment as a commoner when he breaks the law, his status as a prince itself can offset many punishments.
People of noble status like Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yao would not be in danger of their lives unless they committed a heinous crime, but those who followed them would be in trouble.
Zhang Siyin has always known this truth.
But she didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyue to treat it so seriously. Admiration suddenly surged in her heart, and she subconsciously felt that Dajin would enter an unprecedented prosperous era because of a queen like Jiang Zhaoyue who was sensible and cared about the people.
She had to admit: "The Queen is right."
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Jingzhou and the others.
Pei Jingzhou was still explaining the situation to Yuan Yuan.
Although Yuan Yuan stopped crying, tears still welled up in her big eyes. She picked at her little finger and pouted, saying, "Brother Lu Ming, you're bullying my brother."
"Did Brother Lu Ming really bully your brother?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"Really." Yuan Yuan said with certainty.
"Have you asked clearly?"
"No."
"Then why do you say that Brother Lu Ming bullied your brother?"
"I saw it."
"How about you take a look now?"
Yuan Yuan looked at Lu Ming, whose face was covered in tears, and then looked at Yuan Yao, who seemed to be fine.
"Is it still Brother Lu Ming who is bullying me?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"It doesn't seem so." Yuan Yuan said.
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah, Brother Lu Ming and my brother are playing."
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "Yeah."
Pei Jingzhou asked again: "Then you rushed over and bit Brother Lu Ming, right?"
Yuan Yuan replied: "That's not right."
Pei Jingzhou asked patiently: "Then what should we do?"
Yuan Yuan took a step forward and said to Lu Ming, "Brother Lu Ming, I'm sorry!"
Zhang Siyin was surprised that Yuan Yuan was so smart. She couldn't help but say, "The Emperor and the Empress have taught the little princess so well."
"When she was a few months old, she was very unreasonable. She beat Yuan Yao many times, openly or secretly, and was lawless. Later, I let Yuan Yao beat her a few times, and slowly talked her into reason, and she began to understand a little." Jiang Zhaoyue was afraid that Yuan Yuan would become more and more unreasonable and brainless as she grew up, and that she would be exploited by others in the future to harm others and herself.
I didn't expect the little girl to have made such great progress now.
She felt particularly relieved.
Zhang Siyin said, "Lu Ming, the princess apologizes to you."
Lu Ming's arm really hurt, so much so that he couldn't help crying, but his uncle protected him and scolded Yuan Yuan until she cried. Now Yuan Yuan sincerely apologized.
He was going to be a general in the future, so he had to be magnanimous and said immediately, "It doesn't matter, we are still good friends."
"Let's play together." Yuan Yuan said.
Yuan Yao replied: "Yes, let's play together."
"Okay." Lu Ming agreed.
The three children made up after a quarrel.
Pei Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said, "Zhaoyue, you guys chat, I'm going to the Council Hall."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Zhang Siyin saluted.
Not long after Pei Jingzhou left, Yuan Yao, Yuan Yuan and Lu Ming started fighting over the sepak takraw again. After a while of arguing, they resolved the issue themselves.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoyue ignored them and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in and sit down."
Zhang Siyin nodded.
The two of them chatted about personal matters again.
At lunch time, Pei Jingzhou ate with the court officials in the Council Hall.
Jiang Zhaoyue, Zhang Siyin and their three children sat around a small table.
The three children were very independent and started eating with their chopsticks and spoons.
Xiangqiao and other palace maids watched from the side to prevent them from getting stuck or burned.
Jiang Zhaoyue picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it into Zhang Siyin's bowl.
"Empress." Zhang Siyin hurriedly stopped Jiang Zhaoyue's hand: "This subject cannot eat for the time being."
"Why? Don't you like grilled fish the most?" Knowing that Zhang Siyin was coming today, Jiang Zhaoyue specially ordered the imperial chef to make grilled fish.
"I..." Zhang Siyin opened her mouth and finally whispered, "I'm pregnant now, and I can't eat fishy or greasy food."
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah." Zhang Siyin nodded shyly.
"How many months?"
"Two months."
"Then why did you come to the palace?" Jiang Zhaoyue quickly blamed herself for the first three months of pregnancy, saying, "It's all my fault for summoning you to the palace at this time."
"No, no, I also want to go to the palace to see the Empress, the eldest prince and the little princess, talk about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion to reassure the emperor, and by the way, send some clothes to my fifth brother."
"But your body..."
"I'm in good health. Doctor Lu said my pulse is good, so that's why I came here."
Jiang Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the palace servants to remove the fish and greasy food.
Zhang Siyin stopped her again and said, "It's okay, just eat."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Then won't you feel uncomfortable when you smell it?"
"No, this pregnancy is easier. As long as I don't eat fish or greasy food, I won't feel uncomfortable. In a few months, I think I'll be able to eat anything."
"That's good, that's good." Jiang Zhaoyue ordered the palace servants to put the light dishes in front of Zhang Siyin, keeping the fish and greasy food away.
Zhang Siyin had a good meal.
The three children also had their fill.
Zhang Siyin was going to the Imperial College to deliver some clothes to Pei Heng.
"There are so many students in the Imperial Academy, and they're all so energetic and lively. What if they accidentally bump into you?" Because Pei Heng was a student there, Jiang Zhaoyue knew the situation very well. He said directly, "Just call my fifth brother over."
"Will it disturb him from studying?" Zhang Siyin asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "No, they should have Cuju class at Qingfeng Hall this afternoon. He's been good at sepak takraw since he was young, and now his Cuju skills are among the best in the entire Imperial Academy. It won't matter if he plays less for a while."
"That's good. Lu Ming misses him too." Zhang Siyin said.
"Mother, I'll go call my fifth uncle." Yuan Yao said.
Yuan Yuan actively interrupted: "I'm going too, I'm going too."
"And me, and me." Lu Mingdao.
This wasn't the first time Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan had gone to the Imperial Academy to look for Pei Heng. Jiang Zhaoyue nodded and said, "Have the palace maids accompany you. Don't disturb the students."
"Okay!" The three children agreed together.
"Let's go." Yuan Yao walked forward.
Yuan Yuan quickly said, "Brother, let's hold hands and walk!"
"Okay." Yuan Yuan stretched out his right hand.
Yuan Yao pulled his left hand.
Yuan Yuan extended his right hand to Lu Ming.
Yuan Yao quickly said, "Brother Lu Ming, I'll grab the toad with my right hand!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming quickly withdrew his hand.
Yuan Yuan hurriedly explained: "I washed my hands several times."
"Have you really washed it?" Lu Ming asked Yuan Yao.
"Well, my sister has really washed it several times." Yuan Yao said.
Yuan Yuan nodded heavily.
"Then let's hold hands." Lu Ming took Yuan Yuan's right hand.
Yuan Yao opened his eyes wide and asked, "Brother Lu Ming, aren't you afraid?"
"Sister has washed her hands, don't be afraid." Lu Mingdao.
"Yes, don't be afraid!" Yuan Yuan shook his head happily.
The three of them walked towards the Imperial College together.
Whenever Yuan Yuan sees flowers or grass on the road, he will talk about it. Now, if he sees a flying insect, he will go and take a look.
"We have to go find Uncle Wu first!" Yuan Yao said.
"I want to see the flying insects." Yuan Yuan insisted.
Lu Mingdao: "The flying insect flew away and can no longer be seen."
Yuan Yuan gave up and then discovered something else.
The three children walked and stopped many times and took twice as long to reach the Imperial College.
Lu Ming and Yuan Yao stepped over the high threshold of the Imperial College, but Yuan Yuan was too small to cross it.
"Princess, I'll hold you." Hongcao said.
"No, no, don't hug me! I'm going to give up!" Yuan Yuan waved away Hong Cao's hand, leaned on the door sill, and lifted her little feet to reach the door sill, but she couldn't reach it after trying twice.
"Sister! Lift it a little higher!" Yuan Yao commanded.
Lu Ming clenched his fist and said, "Push harder."
Yuanyuan held on to the threshold tightly and used all her strength. Her little feet finally reached the threshold. She flipped over with force and fell off the threshold with a "thump".
Yuan Yao was stunned.
Lu Ming was startled.
Hongcao and the others hurriedly called out, "Princess."
Yuan Yuan supported herself on the ground with her small hands and feet, and stood up with a "Hey Yo" sound. She said with a smile on her face, "Brother, Brother Lu Ming, I'm coming in!"
"Sister, you're so awesome!" Yuan Yao praised immediately.
Lu Ming didn't expect Yuan Yuan to be so tough. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "Great!"
"Let's go and find Uncle Wu!" Yuan Yuan took the hands of his two brothers and came to the back window of Qingfeng Hall together.
Yuan Yao and Lu Qian stood on tiptoe, leaned on the windowsill, raised their little faces, and looked at the situation in Qingfeng Hall.
"Let me see, I want to see too." Yuan Yuan pulled Yuan Yao and Lu Ming's clothes.
Lu Ming bent down and picked up Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan saw Pei Heng at a glance.
Knowing that Yuan Yuan was about to shout, Yuan Yao reached out and covered Yuan Yuan's mouth, whispering, "The academician is imparting knowledge. Let's not disturb Uncle Wu. Let's wait for a while."
"Let's go to the flower bed over there." Yuan Yao said.
"Walk."
Pei Heng was listening attentively to the lecture and did not notice the presence of Yuan Yao and the others.
After the lecturer finished his lecture and left, he packed up and prepared to go to the Cuju field in the afternoon. As soon as he and his classmates walked out of Qingfeng Hall, they heard a childish laugh.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw Lu Ming, Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan chasing each other around the flower bed. He said goodbye to his classmates and walked towards the flower bed, calling out, "Lu Ming——"
Lu Ming and the others looked over.
"Uncle Wu!" Yuan Yuan rushed towards Pei Heng like a small cannonball.
"Hey!" Pei Heng picked up Yuan Yuan and said, "You've gained weight again."
Yuan Yao ran over and said, "My sister eats a lot every day!"
"How much do you want to eat?" Pei Heng asked.
"Eight meals a day!" Yuan Yao made the number eight.
"So many!" Pei Heng said with a smile.
"No!" Yuan Yuan denied.
"Yes." Yuan Yao insisted.
"Only seven meals!" Yuan Yuan said.
"It seems to be no different from Baton." Pei Heng laughed.
Yuan Yuan giggled and put her little arms around Pei Heng's neck.
Pei Heng touched her little head, turned around and asked, "Lu Ming, why are you here?"
"My mother and I came to visit Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan, and also to bring some clothes to Uncle Wu." Lu Ming replied.
"The clothes are in Fengyi Palace." Yuan Yao continued, "The Queen Mother asked if you have time to get them."
"Yes, let's go." Pei Heng said.
"Let's go." Yuan Yao took the lead and ran towards the outside of the Imperial College.
Lu Ming ran out after him.
"Brother, wait for me!" Yuan Yuan twisted his chubby little body.
Pei Heng knew she was going to get down, so he put her down.
As soon as Yuan Yuan's legs touched the ground, he immediately took a step forward with his short legs and chased after Yuan Yao and Lu Ming.
Pei Heng also followed.
Several children came to Fengyi Palace together.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Zhang Siyin asked Pei Heng about his recent studies and friendships at the Imperial College.
Pei Heng answered them one by one.
Looking at the handsome young man Pei Heng, Zhang Siyin couldn't help but sigh: "I remember when the Queen and the Emperor first got married, Heng was still a little chubby boy, but now he has grown into a handsome young man."
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and said, "He always said that he was fat when he was a child, but he had a good body. He would definitely be tall and handsome like his second brother when he grew up."
"Don't mention it, Brother Heng is really tall and handsome now." Zhang Siyin said.
Pei Heng rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said, "I'm going to play with Lu Ming and the others."
"Still shy." Zhang Siyin smiled.
"You've grown up and become more thin-skinned." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Well, I've learned a lot and now I know shame. I wasn't like this when I was a kid."
The two talked about what happened a few years ago.
Soon it was evening, and Zhang Siyin was about to take Lu Ming back.
Jiang Zhaoyue was worried about her health, so he ordered Hongcao and Hongyao to send Zhang Siyin and her son back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and then come back.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so nervous. I am in very good health." Zhang Siyin said.
"I'm not concerned about you, I'm concerned about my cousin." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Zhang Siyin's belly.
Zhang Siyin couldn't refuse, so she called Lu Ming to go back home.
When Lu Ming, Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan were playing together, they fought, quarreled and quarreled with each other, but when they separated, they really couldn't bear to leave each other.
The three children huddled together and whispered for a while, then finally waved goodbye.
Zhang Siyin and Lu Ming left.
Pei Heng plays sepak takraw with Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan.
When Pei Jingzhou came back and saw an older child and two younger children playing sepak takraw, he couldn't help but say to Jiang Zhaoyue, "A few years ago, you played sepak takraw with Heng Ge'er in the same way."
"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at the three children.
At this time, Yuan Yuan kicked the sepak takraw out of the door.
Pei Heng smiled and said, "Yuan Yuan, how come you are so strong?"
Yuan Yuan chuckled.
"I'll go pick up the ball!" Yuan Yao ran outside.
"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up." Yuan Yuan ran after him.
Pei Heng was worried that the two children would start fighting again, so he ran out quickly and saw that the brother and sister were quarreling again.
"I picked it up first!" Yuan Yao said.
Yuan Yuan was unconvinced: "I kicked him out."
"You're both right! I can't tell who's right and who's wrong." Pei Heng said with a smile, "Why don't you just listen to me, okay?"
This is the best way, Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan nodded together.
"Rock, paper, scissors, whoever wins gets the sepak takraw, okay?" Pei Heng asked.
"Okay." Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan agreed together.
Yuan Yao plays rock, Yuan Yuan plays scissors.
Yuan Yao wins and Yuan Yuan admits defeat.
Yuan Yao kicked the sepak takraw ball into the yard.
Yuan Yuan went after him.
Pei Heng played with them, and whenever the two siblings had disagreements, he could easily resolve them.
Pei Jingzhou was curious: "How come you are so good at taking care of children?"
Pei Heng said: "Because my second sister-in-law treats me like this."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Don't you think I'm particularly good at taking care of children?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
That's right.
Whether it's Pei Heng, Yuan Yao, or Yuan Yuan, they all have character flaws, but with Jiang Zhaoyue's company, Pei Heng has grown into a handsome young man, Yuan Yao is positive and confident, and Yuan Yuan is lively and cute. Pei Jingzhou couldn't help but admire Jiang Zhaoyue and nodded, "You are very good at taking care of children."
"I can also bring men." Jiang Zhaoyue whispered in Pei Jingzhou's ear.
Pei Jingzhou's ears turned red instantly, and he secretly gave Jiang Zhaoyue a glare.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled with pursed lips.
"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Yuan Yuan asked.
"Your father is so cute." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Father is so adorable!" Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan said together.
Pei Heng was happy to see his second brother and sister-in-law so loving and their family so relaxed and harmonious, and he had dinner with them in the evening.
Jiang Zhaoyue mentioned that Pei Jingpeng and Qingluo would get married after the autumn harvest.
Pei Heng nodded: "Well, I will go back home early to help."
The autumn harvest is here in the blink of an eye.
This year, Pei Jingzhou ordered the court officials to vigorously control water, divert water, build canals, etc., so even though the weather was not so good throughout the year, the Jin Dynasty also had a small harvest.
There was joy inside and outside the palace.
After the autumn harvest, Pei Jingpeng and Qingluo got married.
Jiang Zhaoyue's family of four changed into fine cloth clothes and attended Pei Jingpeng and Qingluo's wedding banquet in a low-key manner.
Pei Jingpeng was deeply moved.
Pei Jingzhou felt relieved when he saw Pei Jingpeng's happy look.
Jiang Zhaoyue knew that Dujuan and Xiaolu were doing very well in their small business, and she was happy for them.
Yuanyao, Yuanyuan, Luming and other children played together.
The family of four stayed at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion until night and then left.
Many people recognized the Empress and the Emperor in disguise, and understood how much the Empress and the Emperor valued Pei Jingpeng, so they treated Pei Jingpeng with even more respect.
Jiang Zhaoyue and his family of four did not return to Fengyi Palace immediately, but went up to the city wall and saw the lights of thousands of houses.
"Mother! Fireworks!" Yuan Yuan suddenly shouted, pointing to the sky.
Yuan Yao shouted, "So many fireworks."
Jiang Zhaoyue was curious: "Why are fireworks being set off at this time?"
Pei Jingzhou said: "Celebrate the harvest and hope for a good harvest every year."
"I see." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at the brilliant fireworks above the lights of thousands of houses and heard the bustling voices in the distance. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she said, "Yes, our lives will get better and better."
"Yes." Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and saw fireworks shining in Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off.
He suddenly remembered that when he was working in the Ministry of Personnel, some old men said that after two years of marriage, holding hands with your wife is like holding your left hand with your right hand. It becomes numb, so it is better to take more concubines.
He disagreed at the time.
Now he still doesn't agree.
He and Jiang Zhaoyue have been married for more than seven years and have two children. Far from feeling numb, he likes Jiang Zhaoyue more and more.
Every day when I see Jiang Zhaoyue and hear her voice, I feel that this day is so wonderful.
No matter how long you stay with Jiang Zhaoyue, you will never get tired of her. Even Jiang Zhaoyue's teasing, mischief, and sweet talk are so charming.
"Why are you staring at me?" Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and asked, "Do you think I'm particularly beautiful?"
"Yes." Pei Jingzhou answered without hesitation.
"Do you like me very, very much?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked again.
"Yes." Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yao and Pei Jingzhou answered together.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and asked, "Really?"
"Really?" The father and his two sons answered together.
"I like you guys very much too." Jiang Zhaoyue kissed the cheeks of the father and his two sons one by one.
The father and his two sons all laughed out loud with joy.
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes fell on Pei Jingzhou's face: "Jingzhou, we have been married for eight years."
Pei Jingzhou said directly: "It's seven years and one hundred and eighty-five days."
"You remember it so clearly?"
"Because I like you very, very much."
"I like you to be so straightforward." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and held Pei Jingzhou's hand.
Pei Jingzhou held her fingers together and said, "Let's welcome the next seven years and one hundred and eighty days together. The next one, the next one, the next one, the next one..."
"Okay, let's work together to benefit the people and let everyone live a life with enough food and clothing." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Okay." Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yao and Pei Jingzhou agreed together.
At this time, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky again.
The family of four turned around happily together to greet the beautiful colors ahead.
