After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 189 Emperor Chongguang Dies
In the winter of the fourth year of Zhiguan.

Emperor Chongguang was assassinated in the palace and died.

In the same month, in Fengyi Palace, a palace maid who was on night watch failed to do her duty, causing charcoal fire to ignite the palace curtains.

A fire took the lives of the Queen and the Prince.

All the houses and streets in Yanjing City were decorated with white.

Even the door of the house was closed.

It seems that this trading venue will close its doors to visitors as its purpose has been achieved.

When you are dissatisfied with the new emperor, this is the day to restart.

Ji Yunzhang went to the imperial estate outside the city.

The ground was covered with blood and there were corpses inside and outside the village.

Ji Yunzhang searched inside and outside for three times but couldn't find the queen and the prince.

When he thought the two had been escorted away, his eyes suddenly fell on the woodshed behind.

He gently pushed open the half-open door.

He couldn't bear it and closed his eyes.

The Queen's death was extremely tragic.

Ji Yunzhang took off his coat and put it on him.

There was a creaking sound under his feet, and he leaned over to see that under the Queen was the door to the cellar.

He moved the queen's body to the woodpile, and when he opened the cellar, he saw a little girl with tears on her face and her hands covering her mouth tightly.

The "Crown Prince" is not a prince, but a princess.

He is a few months younger than Qi'an and Sui'an, and is just over two years old.

Ji Yunzhang picked her up.

When she turned around to look for her mother, he covered her eyes with his hand.

He carried Fu'er out of the woodshed and glanced sideways at the stove which was still burning.

He pulled out two burning pieces of firewood from the stove and threw them into the woodshed.

Fuer looked at the house with flames shooting up into the sky.

The firelight reflected in her pupils, illuminating her little face orange.

A small group of people were riding back to the city, and when they looked back suddenly, they saw flames rising from the place.

"Boss, there's a fire!"

The middle-aged man in the lead had a stern expression on his face, "That little thing must have been rescued by someone."

When they arrived, the whole village was on fire.

Ji Yunzhang hid in the dense forest holding Fu'er.

The two-year-old child can't speak fluently yet, but he already knows how to find his parents.

"Father, king, mother."

Ji Yunzhang watched the group of people walking farther and farther away, then he touched her head and said softly.

"From now on, I will be the father."

Fu'er was born to be taught by her father the king and her mother the queen, and she doesn't know what the word "father" means.

But the person in front of me called "Dad" has a warm embrace.

Even if she couldn't find her mother, she wouldn't be afraid.

"Father."

The small voice is different from that of a year-old child.

The child would cry and laugh loudly, and when he saw her, all his worries disappeared.

-

In the first year of Zhixing, the new emperor ascended the throne.

In the third year of Zhixing, the Western Jin Dynasty invaded.

In the fifth year of Zhixing, Da Qi was defeated and ceded Disha, Shiqiu and Chengzhou.

In the sixth year of Zhixing, natural disasters caused a total harvest failure, and taxes and labor service became heavier.

In the seventh year of Zhixing, uprisings broke out in Tongchuan and Liping.

At this point, the once powerful Da Qi had gone through six dynasties and was divided into several parts.

-

Zhaofeng City, Rong Mansion.

"father!"

"father!"

"father!"

"Dad!" Four figures ran in at the same time, and the man who was sleeping on the chair with his head tilted back jumped up suddenly.

Four people, two large handles and two small hanging feet.

"On Fu'er and Rong'er's birthdays, you promised us that you would go outside the city to fly kites in the spring!!"

"That's right, you can't go back on your word!"

"Take us there!"

When Ji Yunzhang was having a headache, a figure quietly appeared at the door.

"Ji Qian'an, have you finished memorizing the book?"

"Ji Sui'an, did you play the piano?"

"Ji Fuan, have you written?"

"Ji Rong'an, did you copy the book that the teacher punished you with yesterday?"

The four figures wilted instantly.

The four of them turned around at the same time and saw their mother leaning against the door frame with her arms folded, looking at them sideways.

Ji Sui'an is the most obedient one. The girl, who is already ten years old, is slowly shedding her childishness.

"My daughter already feels much more proficient in it. She will be able to show it to mother tomorrow!"

Rong Peilan didn't look at her flattering face, "Tomorrow? Why don't you practice?"

Ji Qian'an is the smartest, but also the laziest, and he always needs someone to keep an eye on him.

He chuckled twice and said, "I'll go right away!"

Ji Fuan is Fuer, who is actually nine years old. However, as Ji Rongan grew taller and caught up with Fuer, Ji Yunzhang simply raised the two children as twins in order to avoid people noticing.

Seeing that their brother and sister had left, Ji Fuan and Ji Rongan also ran away.

Looking at the backs of the four people playing and fighting, Rong Peilan shook his head with amusement.

"It's not peaceful now, don't take them out in the future."

"I heard that the rebels from Tongchuan have already attacked Jiangdu. There are people fleeing everywhere. The children are still young and don't understand. They all cling to you. You can talk to them more when you have time."

Ji Yunzhang reached out to her, "Okay, I understand."

"How is mother today?"

Rong Peilan nestled in his arms and said, "A few naughty boys just finished messing with her and came over. She should be asleep by now."

Ji Yunzhang sighed, "Same as always, just take care of it slowly."

Since the day Ji Rong'an was born, Zhong was frightened and her health deteriorated every year thereafter.

Fortunately, there are many children in the family and there is a lot of laughter.

Mrs. Zhong was in a good mood, taking medicine every day, and her health was generally good over the years.

Rong Peilan pulled out an envelope from her sleeve pocket. "This is what Jin Shaoyi sent to the grain store. Old Zhou just brought it over."

Jin Shaoyi thought Ji Yunzhang was dead, so they moved out of Jinpeng again.

Every year I would send letters and money to the grain store.

Ji Yunzhang didn't look at it, "There's nothing to see, just take the money and save it for Fu'er."

Rong Peilan opened the envelope and the letter still contained the same few sentences.

"There's less money this year, so I guess they're having a hard time."

"As long as we live a good life, that's all."

As he spoke, he pinched the flesh on Rong Peilan's waist and said, "My dear, you are not pregnant again, are you?"

"Our house has become a den of children!"

After Haitang married Wei Chi, she gave birth to two children. Qingtan married Manager Zhou and also gave birth to two children.

Chen Chun and Ji Xing got married last year and are now pregnant.

Rong Peilan slapped his hand away and said unhappily, "You wish for it. I won't have a baby."

"If you want to give birth, go find one outside."

Having said that, she stood up and left the study.

She touched her swollen belly and took a breath.

I have been living a comfortable life in the past few years and have become a well-off person.

Haitang rushed in with her sleeves rolled up, "Madam, something bad has happened. Our food supply has been intercepted by the rebels!"

"The rebels have entered the city?"

"Manager Ma came back on horseback and told me that our people have also been detained."

Rong Peilan frowned, "Quick, pack up and go to the mountains!"

Zhaofeng is a mountainous area, and Rong Peilan built a small farm in the mountains a few years ago. The farm is equipped with essential tools and food, just in case a war breaks out one day.

"Take all the medicine powder with you. Spring is coming soon and there are many snakes and insects in the mountains!"
